Like I said, here's hoping

Sorry I'm late on this but it kind of looks like the div heights are too small

AppGrids dont automatically resize app icon images do they? my app icons are 35x35 but the icon images are all 59x60 and cut off

Don't think they do. You'll have to manually make each icon via code.

Aww no fun, there's a grid of 25 lol, I guess I can make the images smaller?

Like still have the size 59x60 but make the icon smaller in the image, right?

You could, but I think you should just do it via code, reversing the change in the code would be a lot faster than in the images. That would work, but I think there's less work in it for you, because doing it via code is essentially just copy and paste. And, if you do it in code, if you decide you want to tweak the size a few pixels in either direction, as long as you maintain the same aspect ratio the images should look fine.

I guess my personal recommendation is to do it via code. After you place three icons, the rest you'll be able to figure out the exact locations of with basic math you can do in your head.

That's true, but would it have more of an affect on RAM having 25 individual appicons over 1 AppGrid?

Not really, I always do my icons this way, because the control is superior to that of AppGrid's. It's things like Functions or Buttons that execute a bunch of actions that slow things down. Try it out, I don't think you'll notice a difference in RAM even slightly.

Alright, I took your advice and don't notice a difference in speed, still idling at about 280-300, thank you

No problem man!

**iGamers** · 07-30-2012, 12:23 AM

okay, i have another issue, on my lockscreen, i have a function as an action for a scrollview that will either open mail or ipod depending on the contentoffset, but for some reason it wont open them or unlock or anything unless i have the "unlock" command as an action before the "launch" command action, which would be fine, but if i have an app already open, it wont unlock and launch either mail or ipod, it will unlock to whichever app is open, is that just a bug, or what?

I *think* it's a bug, the lockview is the most incomplete view in DreamBoard.

There was a post, I saw here, though that regarded the lockscreen launching apps. I think Mr. Russian posted it, if I remember correctly

I think the post was "was it possible to launch apps from the lockview"? I found out it wasn't. Yep, the lockview sucks :P

Yea I agree

but what's a complete theme without the lockscreen

**Them3this** · 07-30-2012, 12:12 PM

Don't bother with it. Most users want a WB LS anyways

**iGamers** · 07-30-2012, 12:33 PM

haha I finished the lockscreen already though, oh well, too bad you cant make the lockscreen a dynamicview where the user would be able to enable and disable it from with a function in the theme or something

Among many other things. I just want label color. Keep hoping for an iOS 6 update for this.

**Them3this** · 07-30-2012, 01:57 PM

Wynd prob hates me from all the emails lol

**iGamers** · 07-30-2012, 02:58 PM

Haha maybe if enough people bug him he will give in to it and perfect it haha, with a few additional things I'm sure itd be perfect

**noelbob** · 07-30-2012, 03:09 PM

Yeah agree although I use lockinfo so I don't use any themed lockscreen or widgets

Label color would be nice
