We cant be like Wynd, we don't have +3000 thanks yet :-p

Honestly, follow the instruction from PK link and aside from a possible ldib issue you should be good.

Ask any questions, I'll share as much knowledge as possible. Once i'm done with the DB wiki, it could be a good idea to add this info to it

Awesome, time to do more reading

Can someone help me with this?
I want a scroll view on the second page of my theme, and when i type the scrolling code, and then respiring. Instead of enable scrolling, it disappeared the icons that I want to scroll. Any help?

Kuanyu,

it can either be a question of layer order or if everything goes blank it's some error in your code.

I would try to minimize your code to see at what point the issues shows (like 1 scrollview, 1 icon) and/or post your code example

**kuanyu** · 05-05-2011, 09:48 AM

no, there's no error with my code's, no blank screen
I did move the code up to the first place of the plist, so there's no possibility that something is covering the scroll view up. But anyways, my page 2's code without scroll view
Check your pm for the code

And you add your ScrollView around this?

So you are using a Subview to add these? If you do, all your X,Y coordinates are related to the ScrollView X,Y coordinate

Ex: If scrollView is X=325 for Page2, then subview X = 0 to stay in page2.

Thanks! just realize my Frame width is 320. So my icons are covered by the 2nd page, cause my second page's Frame Width is 640! Thanks a lot!

Glad to see you found the issue.
PList can become so big/full sometime, it's easy to miss something like this.

I'm on 10k plus lines of code...

I know the feeling.. My last was 10K+ too

Although I used a trick that may help everyone (unless they are already doing it). Since it seems we can't put REM in the code (at least my editor removes them when I reload my plist), I added an Extra key
<key>A-description</key>
<string></string>

At the beginning of all my routine to help me out in findings what I was looking for. used "A-" to make sure it was always the 1st entry in the list.

This works perfectly fine, thank me later... Lolol, jk. My plist is littered every where with those lines of code so I can find specific points. I'll take a screen shot and post it when I get home.

No dice... :-(

The PlistEditor on Windows seems to be removing them on Save/Open.

I guess I may try to look for a different plist editor although this one warns you when you forgot a closing / which is nice sometime.

Wow, that sucks... I'll send u a copy of the version I have. Maybe that will do the trick.

That would be nice or tell me what software you use, maybe I can download it

**kingjust** · 05-06-2011, 03:14 PM

Plist editor

PlistEditor

**TheWarlu** · 05-06-2011, 03:28 PM

I don't understand. I have the same software. Actually I had 1.0, so I just installed 1.0.2 (1.0.1) and it does the same thing.

As soon as I save, close the editor, re-open it and reload. They are gone.
I actually tested with Notepad++ and the comments don't seem to be save at all.

Maybe it's because i'm on Win7x64?

**kingjust** · 05-06-2011, 04:17 PM

Can't be cuz i'm on it also. ????? Weird...

**TheWarlu** · 05-06-2011, 04:18 PM

And if you save your Plist and openit with NotePad or WordPad, you still see them?

**kingjust** · 05-06-2011, 05:25 PM

Nope... but to combat that, I saved it to word and saved it. Opened it back up and voila, they were still there. I mean, it's going to be laborsome to copy back and forth, but I think keeping track of where **** is, well is a bit more important... especially with gobs of code. Hey, if you don't mind, check out my video in the themes/skins for ip4. It's called Tronforever (that name is going to change though). I need some critiques and joe shmoe users are not really leaving anything.

So, MS Word (I have 2010) will save the  entries.

**PhanaticD** · 05-06-2011, 09:51 PM

i think it has to do with the encoding, i use the same software and it removes the comments, but if i make a comment in notepad++ the comment stays, i think i might just use that from now on..
