THIS APP IS GREAT ! ! !

My Question is How do you Create an Icon? I understand that they are created using "Png" Can I downsize a picture on a website like "PhotoBucket" then save the file as a "png" file - Is that a picture format (like jpeg) ? Should
I use Microsoft Word to create the text or should I copy, paste and clean up
off of the website I wish to use as a shortcut?

Thanks for All of the Help!

Also what do you change the resolution to?

Png files are image files similar to gifs, but they're able to carry more color information. You'll need image editing software. You won't be able to use Microsoft Word. It looks like the images I've seen so far for this app have been in the neighborhood of 40x40 (pixels).

Here’s another version of our BBForums logo.

Cool - Thanks - I've got PhotoShop Cs2 - I hope to be able to post some cool icons very soon -

Thanks Again!

Can't get the icons to show up...

I used the ebay link and I click update, it connects and downloads the icon, but the icon doesn't show up.

Any ideas?

Tim

The icon will show up the first time you click on it. It will do the same thing after each subsequent reboot.

Any idea on the OTA install??? Also waiting for the 8800 version

just added a mobile site with ota, visit: m.jonathanhfisher.co.uk

[EDIT] - ota should be working now, let me know if it isnt. cheers, jon

PS...I'm still waiting for the customizable labels!

not done any new work on it i'm afraid, mad busy at work, will try and find time this weekend and update it.

I get error on 8800 from the OTA DL:

Thanks in advance!

Kris

try again... stupid error. the version number had a letter in it...

Got it! Awesome...

Jonathan,
Thanks for the OTA! That'll save me a lot of time!

Ya that would be sweet!

Here is one I am using for BBFAQ

Jonathan,

Tryin it on the 8703e and am having trouble getting images to load.

The short cut is fine but no image, regardless of the site I host it on.
Like the idea of having web shortcuts though.

You know what would be nice....if the shortcuts stayed after an OS upgrade. They have to be completely reloaded after an upgrade. The app and blank shortcuts obviously get backed up and restored but the data does not. (It's the same with other apps like BBWeather, though)

Having the same issue with the icons not showing up. It may be an 8300 issue

Can anyone tell me where my "hub" is? Or better yet, write a tutorial. Sorry so dum....b lol
