Creating Themes With Dreamboard

[Mr. Russian]

Use text editor.

But then the code isn't colorful

[kooris]

Okay, I got log working...but the problem is, it can only store one value at a time eg. Only one property of one view...and whenever I want to use it, it always uses the very first value logged...Anyone else try it?

How did you get it working?

[noelbob]

Is it possible to run dreamboard through the iPhone simulator and Xcode

Im not sure if anyone has tried running it through an iPhone simulator but if you try let us know if it works it could make making themes easier

@kooris what are you using log for?

@kooris what are you using log for?

How would it be possible? I can try running it through the iPhone simulator but I don't know how I would do that.

@kooris what are you using log for?

Something simple, like

log get.views.ScrollView.contentOffsetX

then a button

views.ScrollView.contentOffsetX = (something)

It is this (something) that I dont know what to put exactly. But, if I put

views.ScrollView.contentOffsetX = log.views.ScrollView.contentOffsetX

it just sets the views.ScrollView.contentOffsetX to 0

Try using vars instead of log

[FrightDealer]

I gots me a question and i need u geniuses to answer it. How do i have a button, change the zip code of all the widgets in your theme? I have lik 6 widgets in my theme. Each one has a preset location. So instead of people going into the .js or w/e to change the zip code i want a button to do it for all of them. I kno i have to go into the widgets and edit something. but idk what. Can anyone help me? What would be the coding for that button?

Then it would look for a var named ....

Thats something to do with Html and that sort, might be kinda hard...

But many themes use it...hmmm, might just download one of the free ones and see how to do it.

You can check on the endroid theme

Yea, once i get it working, i shall let u beta test it. Also, i am having a little issue, where the dam images won't show up in the view. Let me paste the coding. They are just images set as button, it worked for wallpaper but not for dam Widget.

Exactly make it use vars not log

@FrightDealer im not to good with that as you know but check the image strings and make sure they are right but thats all i got

I checked it twice...but im tired. i'll check tomorow. Pissing me off

I'm sorry, you didn't get my point... I was trying to figure a use for log, other than for developers to place views pixel-perfect. (Such as creating a Scrollview, create a button that logs the contentoffset, then move, log, move, log...) Currently the way that it works isn't even useful for Html, so I don't find any real purpose. I trying to figure if it had any other function

Btw, I figured out how to place Badges anywhere you like, If you guys want to know, just ask.

The badge thing would be useful for the theme im updating, mind sharing?

I think that widgets don't work as buttons. You need to have a transparent image above then to toggle something. Widgets have to be in webviews.

Alright, don't worry, i got it working now. TY. Now i need help with the Weather.html thing

I wish it were that easy,

First you make an AppIcon View

Then you have to increase the frame width if you want to move the badge to the left, or decrease the width to move it to the right.

Then the same with the height, increase the fame height to move it up, and decrease to move it down.

Now, you have to adjust the x and y positions to counter the shift in position in the icon.

I'm gonna try this with an appgrid.

Yep this took me like 30 minutes to get like 4 badges looking right. A lot of testing.
