Hi everyone,
Would someone please explain how to do this? i am getting my P900 today and would love to give this a try ASAP.
1. i understand i need to get the tracker program. i can download (for FREE) from the site people mentioned (a file called tracker_p800.sis). i assume p800 works for same for p900.
2. do i install this program on my PC or Mac? i'm not at all familiar with the file format of .sis. Once installed, which file(s) do i need to send to my P900?
3. having done step2, then i need to get the OSX.ztr file and launch the tracker program to select this OSX file?
Would appreciate if someone would eleborate on these steps a little more.
Thank you in advance for the help!!

Amnesia, btw a great name as it made me forget how the default P900 looked!
Man You're gonna get some HUGE Mac faithful posting those pics saying that this is what the, again, NEW rumored Mac cell-phone is gonna look like on display.
It won't be me though!! However,
I'd like to commend you on your efforts on this as this is EXTREMEly incredible.
I'm at lost for words for minutes when I laid my eyes on your creation.
"I pledge allegiance to amnesia", lol.
Great work.....
BTW how on Earth did you get your desktop to look like that?? are you on a P4??SweeeEEEEeeet! |

@amnesia
A very nice skin and cool graphics!
I tried it while ago and here are my comments.
Time and date doesnt fit on the allocate space same with memory statistics like the last digit cannot be seen.
Background doesnt show very good even in P900. Application shortcuts will not look good. You might consider a lighter background.
There's only one Application shortcuts' page. How about adding Games, Tools, etc..

I really truely love recieving such positive comments and feedback.
Guess I'll answer questions one at a time.
To use OSX.SE, follow these steps.
First of all, install tracker. www.symbianware.com
To install it, get the sis file from the site then send it to your p900. (cable, ir, or memorystick) then click on the sis file. (if you beam it, you'll find it in the "MESSAGES" section of the phone.
Now send over OSX.SE to your phone after installing tracker v3
Launch Tracker and select the 'IMPORT SKIN' Option.
After importing it, select the 'SELECT SKIN' Option.
That's it' your done
=======
I should note a few things with the skin as well. It uses more than 65k of colors. The skin became compressed, to fit such a small file due the the coversion tool made for tracker.
Tracker 'will soon' enable a higher res for the bg.
I didn't include any other empty pages (besides a free space in the CP) and the desktop space because the tool for creating the skin wouldn't allow me to. As for the time and date, that's an issue with different phones. Apparantly there are different fonts installed for different phones in different contries.
I'll try to fix that issue.
========
Finally, to get your desktop to look like mine (as seen on the screenshots on www.oxygen-inc.com) go to http://oxyx.oxygen-inc.com there are tons of apps that help you skin.
Or go to the skinning community I hang out with mostly at www.aquaxp.com
I again thank you all, and hope to create more skins with the same ammount of proffesionalism. |

lol I just explained in the post above how to install it.
I'll repeat a few things again.
Get tracker from www.symbianware.com
To download OSX.SE go to the FIRST post and select SAVE TARGET AS.
Hope that helps.

Hi there!
I LOVE ur osx skin! Great work!
Anyway i just have one question.. Its seems that when the clock is in four digits like 11:00 the last digit 0 in this case is covered by the yellow icon. Is there anyway i can adjust this and how?:)
Looking forward to downloading your new WHITE and GLASS skins When will this be released and where?:)
thanks again! |

hi amnesia - great theme, thank you.
i've had tracker on a p800 for some time and this will suit really well.
i've recently got a p900 and am really taken with SE's own lines theme:
is there any chance you would be interested in making a matching tracker skin? |

making a tracker theme would be simple, but it wouldn't be very usefull on the p800, since the keypad wouldn't function normally, rather each button would link to an app.

amnesia - that's good news that making a tracker skin would be simple - i'm about to put tracker onto the p900 as well (am giving the p800 to my bro) - would you be willing to create a tracker 'lines' skin for the p900??
would be so grateful!!
thanks in advance! |

i dont understand what it is exactly you wanted. If you wanted it on your p900, best thing to do is set the 'glow' theme, and then set the bg for the 'lines' and your set.

amnesia, it could well be that i am misunderstanding something, but here is what i am trying to achieve:
i have a p900 and will soon be loading tracker onto it.
at the moment, it's running and looking great with SE's own 'lines' theme - as in my post above.
however, when i install tracker, its skin won't automatically match this lines theme - and i would like it to.
has this clarified the point? are you interested in helping out here?
once again, thanks for your kind reply. |
