 <title>Soon Version 2.6 (this Week</title>
 <link>http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms/blog/9/tutorial-review-free-excellent-theme-editor-tool-themegence#comment-137359</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Soon Version 2.6 (this Week End ?)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;ThemeGenCE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Changes in version 2.6 :&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• Modifications of all forms in the program to fit in a 1024 x 600 screen (hiding Taskbar). This seems to be Notebooks screen sizes actually.&lt;br /&gt;
Vicott Wong (&lt;a class=&quot;postlink&quot; href=&quot;http://mobisapienz.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;http://mobisapienz.com/&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;) suggests me this.&lt;br /&gt;
Maximal sizes for forms are now :&lt;br /&gt;
o Width : &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;880&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
o Height : &lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;597&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• ThemeGenCE now reads some exotic Themes (TSK) which contains for instance standards images with also specific images for VGA or QVGA format.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• Correction of minor bugs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• Ability to build themes for &lt;span&gt;WVGA &lt;/span&gt;and &lt;span&gt;WQVGA &lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;stwater_240_400.gif &lt;br /&gt;
        stwater_400_240.gif &lt;br /&gt;
        tdywater_240_400.gif &lt;br /&gt;
        tdywater_400_240.gif&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;        For WVGA &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;stwater_480_800.gif &lt;br /&gt;
        stwater_800_480.gif &lt;br /&gt;
        tdywater_480_800.gif &lt;br /&gt;
        tdywater_800_480.gif&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
        For adapting ThemeGenCE for WVGA I have chosen these sizes which seem to be right even if user modifies while building Theme &lt;span&gt;USeStartImage &lt;/span&gt;variable : &lt;/p&gt;


&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;stwater_480_800.gif -&amp;gt; 480 x 748&lt;br /&gt;
            stwater_800_480.gif -&amp;gt; 800 x 428&lt;br /&gt;
            tdywater_480_800.gif -&amp;gt; 480 x 748&lt;br /&gt;
            tdywater_800_480.gif -&amp;gt; 800 x 428&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And half of these sizes for WQVGA.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;            But for now, without help on the NET, these kind of themes seem to be not recognized …&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;• And maybe other things that I have forgotten since I work on this version…&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>ThemeGenCE</title>
 <link>http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms/blog/9/tutorial-review-free-excellent-theme-editor-tool-themegence#comment-133608</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks Werner !&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes ! My first reference when I began to write ThemeGenCE was the famous and really technical &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=361263&amp;amp;sid=43e4a51c3dea2ac2e11dd4d4d31d62c7&quot;&gt;Theme Bible&lt;/a&gt; from &lt;a href=&quot;/cms/users/werner-ruotsalainen&quot;&gt;Werner Ruotsalainen&lt;/a&gt;, better known as &lt;span&gt;Menneisyys.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was the beginning of writing more than 50 000 lines of code ! Thanks Werner !&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But the thing of which I am the &lt;strong&gt;more proud &lt;/strong&gt;in this program is all the &lt;strong&gt;interface &lt;/strong&gt;when &lt;strong&gt;connected &lt;/strong&gt;to &lt;strong&gt;ActiveSync &lt;/strong&gt;: find all themes on the PDA, get one from the PDA for editing, saving a new theme on the PDA from ThemeGenCE... and more ...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But who have seen these things ? Because PDA must be connected when using ThemeGenCE. And who reads the &lt;strong&gt;help file &lt;/strong&gt;which is in the zip file of the program. This helpfile, with &quot;.&lt;strong&gt;chm&lt;/strong&gt;&quot; extension must be located in the same folder as ThemeGenCE, so you can invoke &lt;strong&gt;contextual help &lt;/strong&gt;by &quot;&lt;strong&gt;right-clicking&lt;/strong&gt;&quot; on an item !&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks Werner for your help !&lt;/p&gt;
