Resize screen

Post by Thales »

Please,

I would like to know if someone knows How to resize the start (connection) screen.
I am trying to use my HTC as remote, but the screen size is biger than the phone screen and I could not complete all data and press OK or cancel.

Unless you are running one of the WinCE/PocketPC SWRemotes, it will use the larger configuration screen. There is no way to specify a smaller screen, but it seems like the phone OS should allow you to scroll to see the full dialog.

Scott,
I find the problem.
I was trying wiht WINCE-ARM.
The correct one is PPC-ARM, now is working well.

I have only one question, do you know how can I have access to the configuration on pocket, as we click with the right button on mouse on PC?

You can:
  • Add a 'Menu' button control, then select the config option. You can make it a transparent button if you don't want it visible
  • Use the /config Set command line option when starting
  • Bypass the need for the config screen by simply using command line parameters for the SWRemote (see online help).

HI, I have different problem.

I use HTC touch Pro that have screen size 640*320 and I have remote designed for screens 320*240. Is it possible to resize(expand) remote screen that fit into large ppc screen? I need it because I use my old and new pocket with same remote.

Regards
Sandi

There's nothing that will automatically size the swremote screen.

My only suggestion would be to duplicate the existing theme, and increase the size all of the backgrounds and control images (saving all images to a new name so you can still use your old theme) to fit the new screen.
