[Patch] {TouchPad} Bigger Progress Bar and Animated GIF Color Options

djgardn2 · 02:02 AM

NOTE: Due to changes in Patch updated in Preware you Must Re-Load Both Images Again for this to Take effect with Latest Patch Release <- READ

If you are having trouble seeing your Progress Bar when a web page is loading this Patch makes the Progress Bar double the size and an ANIMATED GIF image will be used.

*If you updated or are using the newest released Animated Version You Must Load progress-bar-inner5.gif & progress-bar1.gif only (AnimatedBiggerProgressBarChanged2.patch)*

Note you will need to load the image into the correct folder path (progress-bar-inner5.gif and progress-bar.png for older patch):

/usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.browser/images/chrome/

So that the image is inside the chrome folder.

Two things needed:
Load image in correct folder
Load Patch

Quick Guide on Installing Image Using WebOS Quick Install found attached in first post labeled : "Image Install Guide 1"

***Note: You MUST Restart/Shutdown (turn off and on) the device after images are installed on device. ***

Color Choices: Animated Blue fade, Red&Green fade, Black&Green fade, Black&Red fade, Black&Orange fade, Blue&Red Flip, Orange&Red Flip, Red w/ Black line.

Animated Blue Color Progress Bar attached in first post.

Background Grey Progress Bar image attached in this post (progess-bar.png for older patch and progess-bar1.gif for newest updated patch)

this is great patch, thanks!!! At first I didn't use the background image which made it look a bit weird. Then I clicked on. Looks great. Does it matter that I changed the gif to png?

is this going to be submitted to prepared? Great patch

@Cantaffordit*

I'm assuming you meant Preware?
Yes, I will plan to submit it later today.

@smackead*

I don't know if it will work if you change the GIF to a png but haven't tried it (my guess is it won't work if you change it).

*Thank you both for the feedback*

I will plan to create more color GIF options later today most likely also.

I've been playing around with different looks and ideas.

Feel free to request color suggestions or create you own GIF images to test.

Updated Version Now Available in Preware for Download.

It is Labeled "Bigger Progress Bar and Color Options" Patch in Preware.

Aside Note: New version in Preware will contain changes that will require you to re-load the two images again.

I love this patch so much I've made a progress bar for it myself. I call it Knight Rider. Try it out.

All of the links/attachments are broken for me in firefox under WinXP but actually work under Forums in webOS 1.4.5

This is beyond weird O_o

What are the specs for the gif images in terms of resolution, dpi, transparency, dithering method, colorspace, framerate?
