Couple of questions from a thickhead: :rolling:

Is there any one screen where I can see all the slots used graphically? Like a layout page? I keep trying to chase down slot by slot, OL by OL, but some are hidden when you "preview" them with the eye. I find myself drawing it out on a piece of paper, bit by bit, to see it all together! And I'm still looking for some. Seems there should be a view where all slots, etc are mapped out together. I don't even want to begin adding some custom buttons till I can deal with all the existing ones!

On the Dark Mobile skin, some of the buttons don't seem to work (SIM, Power, and a couple more). I would try to "map" them but I can't even get to them. I mean, when I tap & hold, say on the Power button on the menu, it shows me the entire menu - Slot 2, Overlay Image 2. But not the "Turn Off" button and icon! Same with the SIM: Tap & hold gives me Slot 1, OL Image 1 - which is the whole bottom bar. How do I get to the button icon and mapping?

I appreciate any advice!

Thanks,

What UI are you using? To learn about how PPX works I suggest looking at a UI that is very basic... I recommend my Smooth UI. There is currently no way to make all slots on a vpage visible... especially since some will obscure others or be exact matches in size and position thereby "blotting out" the one underneath.

You should contact the author of "Dark Mobile". He used a very old version of my WinXPSE UI as his base. That version had some bugs that cropped up in later versions of PPX.

I have since updated WinXPSE considerably and will be releasing v3.0 within the next day or two.

Well, can the layout of each vpage be looked at then?

If it's no longer viable, due to bugs, why is it still on the download page? First in line, at that. Are there any others I should avoid because they're outdated or "buggy"?


Thanks,

Where can I find your Smooth UI, sracer?

Thank you,
