Hi!

i have searched these questions on the forum but wasnt able to find the answers i was looking for so i am postin em here...

1. can we make the list highlight transapresnt... i mean if we look at the default grid highlight icon... it is just a border and the rest of the pic is masked... can we do the same with list highlights?
i tried but failed

2. whats the main difference between list highlights and new list highlights...

3. i tried applying the mask to the "edited setting item volume" and it showed in the theme studio preview window that it is see through but when i created the sis file, transfered it to my cell phone and applied the theme, i got a white bg begind the vol indicators... wassup with that?

i hope that somebody will come to my rescue soon.. especially elton

Hmmm, I remember this questions, hang on a minute..

Here it is..
hope it's help. Post again if you still dont understand..

See my new thread, almost all of it using transparent list highlight, those images I took with FExplorer's screenshot on my N6630.

Uh, forgot about number three..
I did like that too..
When I got it applied to my phone, the transparency not working.
but when my friend applied it, it works..
Again, I think it's the firmware problems..

Elton, help me on this bro..

I stopped making s60 themes when v1.2 was introduced,so i have no experience with the new transparent highlights.


Ive never seen this,but if TT had this problem and then applied the exact same theme to another phone,then i would also say it could be a firmware issue.
Or a bug in theme studio mask tool.
Try making the mask manually instead of using the wand or pen option.

1: Make the mask.
2: Save the mask.
3: Go to the volume edit section and select your volume bar image.
4: Click "Mask" and select your new manually made mask image.
5: Save it.
6: Compile .sis file and test.

thanks a lot TT brother... i really appreciate ur input... yeah i have read that thread of yours... but it solves nothin... what i get from all that is:

the bottom line: we cant make see-through list highlights...

thanks elton big bro:) man u r always there to help people and that is so kool!

okay guys i'll try to test your tips and will post here for further questions....

thanks time traveler... thanks once again elton... cheers all:)

Yes you can, but you can only see it on N6630 for now, tho

The list highlight only using hard mask, i.e 1 bit image, black and white only.
Cannot use the whole map to the whole image. Restricted to the sections only (four corners)

The new list highlight using soft mask, you can use gradient black to white for the mask.
You can use it to the whole image, like highlight in SE.

The problem in list highlight is :

The 5 pixels from up and 5 pixels from bottom always appeared/showed, the rest of it is scaled down.

Pay attention to the rule above..
Many themers made a full solid image for the list, what they get is somepart are cropped/scaled down.

This also happen to general popup window, except that it's 7 pixels up and down.

Happy theming...


Tt.
