Ok i have receved a couple questions and i think all will like to know this
1: you can freely join the channel and download whatever you like you don't have to share a single thing if you don't want to IRC is not like Kazaa or other simuler file shareing programs. We do encorage you to share and help the channel grow but you don't have to in order to download a single thing

2: Yes you can chat there about ANYTHING you like just be curtius to the others there and to those who are there to help you

Hope to see you there

05-08-2003, 04:24 AM

I keep getting closed out of DCC session with ]{night_AFK. Plus there seems to be not much there of interest.

Also, ACDSee [acdsys.com has a plugin that makes it easy to make a 'photos' webpage. It auamatically generates pages with any number of photos per page and thumbnails of each pic.
I will post an example at

shieldprod i know the site don't have much right now, remember it's only a couple weeks old. Pluse insted of me posting all the stuff i make ond only that i want to see stuff there from everybody else and i want that to be the main sorce of the backgrounds and skins for the site otherwise it's just a site for me to store my stuff on, I want to see user partisipation so the future of the site is in yours and everybody elses hands. I decided that i will not put anything else that i make on the site untill there is more stuff there from other people.
So please if u have a background or skin sent it to me and i will have it on the site within 24 hours

I'm still gaining familiarity with IRC commands. I don't have it on my desktop currently. I appreciate the sharing of backgrounds. One question I have, however, is what kind of background images are they (Megalauncher, Yishow...)? I'm running Megalauncher. I just wanted to know before I install IRC. Thanks :-)

]{night[]wl
05-27-2003, 06:40 PM
well u don't have to use irc to get the backgrounds there on my site http://www.knight-pyro.com the irc channel is for the videos we have and the backgrounds will work in any launcher that supports 320x480 or 320x320 Jpegs for the background image i tested them in YiShow (my preferred launcher) and zLauncher (junk) and had no problems so i don't see you haveing a problem useing them with megalauncher

Knight-pyro,
Thanks for the help. I'm still a newbie with launchers. My concern with Megalauncher is that 320x320 or 320x480 images made for versions previous to 4.3 supposedly won't show up. I am still too new to this to understand the rationale as to why they wouldn't. This is what was explained to me in another thread, and what I've experienced when I have downloaded other ML backgrounds that weren't made specifically for version 4.3 Thanks for sharing your files. They're appreciated. I'll try them and see how they install. :)

]{night[]wl
05-30-2003, 12:22 AM
Cernunnos got me thinking I know YiShow Megalauncher and zLauncher all can use backgrounds, can someone tell me what other launchers support backgrounds? i'll get them all so i can test the backgrounds and inshure the ones on my site are compatable or if needed have launcher spacific sections.
And once again if your have a Skin or Background that you made PLEASE submit it i realy want to see what you all have created (become a reguler and you'll get your own section)

shieldprod
05-30-2003, 11:37 AM
Zlauncher not only supports backgrounds, it will load any bitmap that it the right size and depth of colors as a background. One caveat, it loads that file into RAM and doesn't delete it when you chose another. You have to delete them manually and be careful not to delete the active one.

Also... There's a background collection on cliesource. Why not just post everything there?? I Mean HERE!!?

Alistar
05-30-2003, 11:43 AM
My zlauncher deletes the background image once you change it.

]{night[]wl
05-30-2003, 11:46 AM
True you can get backgrounds and skins here
I wanted to make a place thats easy to use and open to all
just my way of giveing back to a comunity that has given me so much

the_iceman
05-30-2003, 11:51 AM
if you perform a COPY/move on the background image... it will leave it in RAM. Normally... just use the 'select' option when choosing a background... and it won't create a copy for you.

Keeps itself clean... ifyou use the 'select' option only.

shieldprod
05-30-2003, 12:41 PM
cool I guess it's only when you do a "backimage" command that it leaves itself behind... I also noticed that Yishow uses bitmaps and they work in Zlauncher.

I have a few images that I made that I would be glad to share...
Also, have you checked out Clieskins.com ?

Thanks.

BTW.. I do support the troops.

I followed the instructions exactly, using one background from the collection but it still does not appear. I currently own a ZIRE 71 not a sony ( unfortunately). I noticed all the photos are in 24 bit colour, I think they must be switched to 16 bit colour, does anyone know how.

Sony devices have a JPEG library file built-in and the launchers use that for the JPEG images. If you do a search here, you can find the JPEG library files to download. I rememeber someone posted them here before. It should work on the Zires.

Hey ]{night[]wl,

I've been visiting your site since you first posted here everytime I am in search of a new background for zlauncher.

First, I would like to thank you for your effort in maintaining your site for the good of us all :)

I've been wanting to tell you this before, please consider showing only thumbnail of the backgrounds since as the number of files keeps growing the slower it gets to navigate through all the pics.

Thanks again for opening your cool site to the public :)

If you have a skin for ANY launcher or Application please submit it. the site will only be as good as you can make it

the_iceman
08-29-2003, 01:07 PM
I would tend to think...... it would be up to the developer to determine whether or not their theme would be listed on your site. I would certainly hope people would not obtain skins/themes which developers have placed on certain sites.... and the users post them on sites without the developer's permission. This may be one reason you haven't had too many skin submissions.

You could check with HazarD to see if he would mind having his themes also listed on your site.... I just don't know.

I do think that should be the developer's themselves who do the submitting of skins/themes to a site. ..... :)
