Please read customization doc (left menu) and that, you should get everything you need:

# contact item
contactlist.*.item.phone.required=1
contactlist.*.item.background=none
contactlist.*.item.background.highlighted=vgradient($lightbg$,$darkdarkbg$)
contactlist.*.item.firstline.box=3%,0%,100%,50%
contactlist.*.item.secondline.box=3%,50%,100%,100%
contactlist.*.item.firstline.font=10p,bold,$font$,$textcolor$
contactlist.*.item.secondline.font=10p,regular,$font$,$textcolor$
contactlist.*.item.firstline.highlighted.font=10p,bold,$font$,$textcolor$
contactlist.*.item.secondline.highlighted.font=10p,regular,$font$,$textcolor$
contactlist.*.item.smscount.font=10p,regular,$font$,$textcolor$
contactlist.*.item.picture.box=-34p,0,-2p,32p
contactlist.*.item.smscount.box=-34p,0,-2p,32p
contactlist.*.item.picture.smscount.box=-58p,0,-35p,32p

Hey tene

I did see the thread but haven't spotted the customization doc. Thanks for the answer...that should keep me busy for another while.
Question though: Aren't these settings for 0.16 only as it is said in the "customize" part?

I want to remove the "Company" from the main index list so that it just shows name on first line and phone number on second line.

Thanks,

Skid

***EDIT*** Fixed it - set contact_secondline_formatting=%phone, contact_height=30

Tene - I am using Torx iphone theme showing just the name on the scroll list with no other contact information. I have changed the height to . . .

contactlist.*.item.height=50p

Now I would like to the the names fall in the center of the space height wise (top to bottom). Right now it very close to the top. Any ideas?

dahlem, look at: contactlist.*.item.firstline.box

Tene,

I am trying to create a graphical background for the sms text entry field as in the attached image and using the following 3 lines in the theme.

textcontrol.editsms.background=fillimage(smsbox.png)
textcontrol.editsms.box=0p,-60p,-50p,100%
textcontrol.editsms.font=13p,regular,$font$,$high11$

I would like to be able to position the text I am entering when I type the SMS message with a slight offset to the graphical SMS box in such a way that it fits within the bounded 'text field'.

I am not seeting a setting to be able to do this and thought I would come to the 'source'. Is this feature supported in .18 and if it is, what is the control/attributes I should use?

yes and no.

Use the smspanel.*.background to make the background you want. Position the text box not on the border of your smspanel.

tene,

In order to make the theme work in both portrait and landscape mode, I am creating 2 images, one for the sms entry box background and one for the button (see attached).

I take it from your comment above that it is not possible to do it this way but that I should create a full sized image and use it as the background for the entire smspanel and not just the editsms box - this wont work in landscape mode though (or am I wrong)

Ideally, one should be able to do something like this:

smspanel.*.editsms.box=0,-60p,-50p,100%
smspanel.*.editsms.background=fillimage(smsbox.png)

textcontrol.editsms.background=fill($high9$)
textcontrol.editsms.box=4p,-55p,-50p,-5

Is this possible in this release of pocketCM, I am not sure what the syntax is for the smspanel object?

I just noticed the following in the 'Customize' doc.

"In order to get the list of all settings, the easiest way is to make a dump, using PocketCM Contact 0.19 and above, simply hit the "dump settings" button in the options. It will give you an up to date settings list for the current version."

Hopefully it will be easier to find our way around the possible settings with the next release. Thank you for adding this feature.

wow people are reading doc! you made my day! (really)

smspanel is the background window, so it will have a box of 0,0,100%,100%

the background will be different for landscape and portrait, so you'll have:

portrait.smspanel.*.background=...
landscape.smspanel.*.background=...

However, it won't work correctly with SIP. I'll think about a solution, but with current version it's gonna be a bit tricky.

were is this doc that I can read? I have been looking for it.

Thanks.... Jarrod

you should at least read the menu of the website, you knwo the thing on the left.

I am working with the last Kaiser(HTC) phone with PocketCM version 0.17 and theme Touch.zip.

This theme is very nice, but even there is many information everywhere about changing parameter and after many try, I can't find how to change the background of the notes contact.

In this theme, the background color et the font color are almost the same. I can't see the text.

Please help ! and sorry to my approximate english and my unsuccessfull search to solve the problem myself.

Regards

Thanks Tene. I will hold off on trying to implement this for the time being. Hopefully you manage to come up with a solution some time in the future.

Ok I have read everything on the left under contact and I have not found anything that shows what Dvtonder mentioned

'I just noticed the following in the 'Customize' doc.

I can not find this customize document. and I do not have ver 0.19. The website only show ver 0.18 available to download.

Thanks....Jarrod

how can i make the txting font white? its really hard to see what your typing when your input box color is dark gray and your txting font is black

im not sure if this is a setting, but I realized that I have to uninstall pocketcm in order to access my mms ppcgeeks application, because it installs to the native contacts manager. Is there any way to have mms access through this program or view my native contacts list without uninstalling this wonderful contacts list?

hello,
sorry, but i'm new.
how do I :
get rid of the default contact picture altogether but maintain others i have assigned, and
incorporate the "file as" selection when editing contacts.

thanks in advance !

Hi
Love all the apps you have provided thus far by the way!

I have a question pertaining to changing the default Phone Number in the Contact List. If the contact has more than one number listed, How do I change, lets say the Mobile Number to the Work Number when I scroll thru my Contact List?

I hope this makes sense...

Please Help!
