To Adplaya,
Tks for your post. I changed to "all white text" but I think I like the news has colored title and subtitle. Is there any way I can only change the news content to white?
Thank you again.

[Adplaya]

Here it is. White content, colored news headers.

[jtanner]

out of curiosity, anyone wanna explain the colors for me?

is it come kinda cmyk or what?

1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0 = white
i presume 0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0 would = black, so how for example did you work out blue?
...or am i being dense and missing it altogether lol

[feiinhawaii]

WOoHoo.......Thank you so much, Adplaya. LOVE IT.

[Adplaya]

No problem man. And jtanner i dont even understand the colors of XML fully. I had to play around with mine for a while to get them to the colors i wanted. I dont even know the sequence of the base colors i just know that the lower the value (.1) the more intense the color.

[feiinhawaii]

Adplaya, so what color code you have figured out right now? I only see the pink, blue and light blue, and of course the white.

[Adplaya]

I dont remember any of the values. I didnt really write em down or anything. Was just experimenting.

[Dan0609]

Can someone please create an all black text theme for me? I have the background. OR point me to some kind of guide to understand how the values work in the .xml
(sorry Im more of a hex color editor.)

thnx a million guys!

Any chance someone has some idea why i cant get the mail bubble to show up no matter what i do? If i turn the clock on and only have CAL SMS and MAIL to always then CAL SMS and WEATHER show up even though weather says no room in the settings..Very odd.. ANY help greatly appreciated. I love this app but really want it to display mail for me..

Check your mail settings, and be sure that you have selected at least one email account for it to poll. And once you have done that, be sure to save your settings.

Only have one email account and its checked... So weird. Nothing i do makes the mail bubble show up..

I found in the faq about the mail errors.. Im gonna try that solution and see what happens...

Oh well.. No luck there either!

any1 have a screenshot?

[feiinhawaii]

for the file color:
1. go this web site Color Calculator
2. find the color you want and click on it. The Hexadecimal
will show the color code.
3. hit "calculate" under Hexadecimal and all the result will
show.
4. Under "Decimal" , there are three number.
divide each numbers by 255.
e.g. red (the lower left corner one)
Hexadecimal: ff,00,00
Decimal: 255,0,0
255/255=1, 0/255=0, 0/255=0

so when you want to switch the color inside your intellskin.xml , the code will be 1.0,0.0,0.0,1.0
(the last 1.0 is transparency)

it should work.

P.S. when you want to see another color code, don't forget to delete previous one.

great app but it kills my battery

I have heard this and will monitor my iphone...how is it for you?

What really kills the battery is fetching mail into the lockscreen.
I have disabled everything that have to do with mail in IntelliScreen, except för the Taskbar icon, now battery lasts alot better.

Hmmm...it's a pity though I only use this in the evenings or during weekends...it's one of the best things of the app...I will monitor it and see how it looks with my phone
iToday is any better?

Not really - uglier and only allows the three next calendar events.
Very limited settings alternatives.

@theplague: 0.95 has a manual refresh option for mail option. Go to IntelliScreen's mail setting and turn 'Tap to Check Mail' to ON. Then you'll have a micro-button for that on the lock-screen itself. That should save battery.
