editing or creating themes
On my PB360 I prefer the fred2 theme or something similar over the default theme because it leaves space for a longer list of 'recently opened books' on the start page.
However, it also has a button for music there (although you can't play music on the device), and no button for the dictionary. This seems to be the case with all the ready made themes available on this forum. Is there any way I can adjust this (or other themes) so that the music button gets turned into a dictionary button? (I wouldn't even care if it still said 'music' -- just so long as I can access the dictionary with it.) |

I have been thinking exactly the same ! So I am adding my request to yours, shamelessly of course (is that even a word
![]() ![]() Please, please, pretty please, someone ? I'll post the same request in the German PB part of the forum, and report of course if I get a solution there.. |

I was planning on writing a detailed tutorial on how to create your own themes, because I just found out myself. I only keep running into a small problem that I'd like to resolve before I write any how-to.
But the short version is that you need the PocketThemes package (attached below), edit mytheme.txt in the example folder (in your case, you will need to change the line menu.item.5.action=MUSIC, but I don't know the name of the dictionary app; maybe action=DICTIONARY or some variation might just work) and then run create.bat to generate the theme file based on your new settings. You then copy the newly generated mytheme.pbt (after renaming it to something more recognisable, perhaps) to /system/themes/ on the PocketBook. After that, you can activate your theme in the PB Settings. If you find that it works, you can also edit menu_bg.bmp in the example/resource/ folder and change the music icon to something that resembles a dictionary. Then generate, copy and activate the theme again. Good luck! |

I have just loaded your theme on my PocketBook.
The first impression is very favorable. I will report in a few days. Thank you. |

Wow, Ulli! Your settings file has many more options than the one that came with the PocketThemes package I linked to above. I am going to explore all the new possibilities right away!

There is something wrong with the linking thing.
It wont open the dictionary, i dunno what i should try else I tried ".action=OPEN,/ebrmain/bin/dictionary.app" ".action=OPEN,/ebrmain/games/dictionary.app" ".action=OPEN,FLASH:/games/dictionary.app" ".action=OPEN,/FLASH:/games/dictionary.app" ".action=OPEN,/system/games/dictionary.app" ".action=OPEN,/games/dictionary.app" ".action=DICTIONARY" Any more suggestions how to link the dict ? |

"action=OPEN,/ebrmain/bin/Dictionary.app" works for me.
![]() Strangely, there's a "Dictionary.app" in the "/games" folder, which gave me the idea to try proper case... ![]() |

Thanks for the tip :-)
Here is a compiled version with a working "Dictionary" link in the menu. Quite no design, if anyone wants to design something, please go for it! |
