Description

Adding oplogos to S60 3rd Edition without complicated procedures using hacks and file managers (and without using a program that stays in memory) The size of the oplogo varies between different resolutions. These might not be 100% correct (and hopefully alpha testing will reveal the exact dimensions), but from what I can tell, these are the oplogo sizes: For 240 x 320 resolutions (e.g. N95): 134 x 35 pixels For 176 x 208 resolutions (e.g. N91): 97 x 25 pixels For 352 x 416 resolutions (e.g. N80): 194 x 50 pixels Please note that these are for portrait resolutions only. 1. Once installed and launched, a menu appears. Ignore the yellow jigsaw icons for now  these are the default icons provided in the SDK and will be replaced by proper icons in future versions. From here, you can activate a new oplogo, make the logo transparent, restore the original operator text (i.e. remove the logo) or exit the application. The Help feature doesnt work in 0.01a. So, Im sure youve worked out that you just choose an option in the list to select the relevant feature. Well start with adding a new operator logo. Before I started, there was no oplogo installed, so the standard operator text (3) was displayed: Seems simple enough, doesn't it? Basically choose a picture from the gallery, wait a few seconds while the program works its magic, reboot your phone and ta-da! Its done. Could it be simpler? Of course, in future versions as I mentioned there will be advanced options to resize/crop/scale the image if it isn't the correct size, but for now it'll just squash any image to the dimensions quoted above, depending on your phone's screen resolution. I also mentioned that there is no transparency for colour oplogos, so if you're wondering what I did to get a seemingly transparent 3 logo, I made the logo transparent, took a screenshot, pasted the 3 logo on top, cut out the correct dimensions and saved it as a graphic which was sent to the phone and activated as an oplogo. Might sound complicated, but its straightforward. I'm considering automating this procedure based on the currently activated theme background. A even easier process applies when making a logo transparent or reverting to the operator text. Simply choose the option, choose Yes to confirm and reboot the phone. It's done. Making the logo transparent Hopefully as you can see, it's really simple to make the logo transparent. Click the Hide logo button, choose Yes to confirm that you want to do it and reboot your phone. When the standby screen appears again, the operator logo area will be totally transparent - no logo, no text. Restoring the original operator text Ultimately, this is the same process as making a logo transparent - just choose the Restore optext button, hit Yes to confirm, reboot and its done. Remember, I expect that this software does have bugs, because its the very first release! Indeed, thanks to faquick he has discovered a couple of issues on his N80 (although it works fine on the N95) that the application may quit if you try to change or hide an operator logo without removing it and rebooting your phone first. Also on the N95, instead of rebooting your phone, you can switch to UMTS or GSM mode and then back again to Dual Mode to force the oplogo to change. This may (or may not) be more convenient than rebooting.
