Default Making "Text Messages (0)" disappear when there are no text messages

I would like to add the following to the XML file for the SMS plugin to make the "Text Messages (0)" not appear when there are no text messages:

<format state="noSMS" visible="false"/>

Only problem is that "noSMS" is not the correct state name and I don't know what is. Anyone know the correct state name for no unread text messages?

That didn't have the answer and I still haven't gotten this problem solved. Has anybody gotten the # of text messages to diappear when it's zero, like email does?

this will hide the parentheses around the (0) but you cannot (as far as i know) hide the 0 all together. I have done all maner of hiding things on the screen and have not found a way to do this...because of this, I don't use a txt alert on the homescreen other then the envalope on the icon bar that only show's up when there is a message.

<plugin clsid="{2F930BF0-6FE9-4a53-9E17-88E9247BAB48}" name="messagecount" height="30" width="0">

<label halign="right" bgcolor="transparent" fgcolor="COLOR_HOMETEXT" font-size="30">
<format state="unselected" bgcolor="transparent" fgcolor="COLOR_HOMETEXT" />
<format state="selected" font-weight="bold" bgcolor="transparent" fgcolor="COLOR_HOMETEXT" />
<text> txt <unreadSMS hidezero="true" /></text>
</label>
</plugin>

Doesn't this depend on the homescreen? I use the "myPhone" theme, and when there are no messages, there is no # posted (for all accounts: mail/text/voice/mms)

RIght now I'm mobile, so I won't be able to for awhile. It is on the sbsh.net forum. Search there for the "myPhone" theme. Waltzb is the creator and the xml belongs to him. It can be found there, though. Hope this helps!

I gotcha covered. The myPhone download is available here:

http://forums.sbsh.net/index.php?showtopic=21392

Pics are in 1st post, downloads in 2nd post. It's an iPhone lookalike skin. Note that it requires Facade. I am going to take a look and see if I can make the one feature of hiding the 0 work without Facade. I will get back soon with the answer, but I fear it may not be possible without Facade.

I prefer a minimal homescreen with only clock, carrier, date (all on one line) followed by Profile, then calendar, then Messages if above 0 (I hope). I then streamline my start button to have all the apps I use at level 1 and shove everything I don't use much into a single folder at the bottom of level 1.

I too like a very minimal screen...so I'll show you mine.

this one has Facad 2tab bar calendar/tasks (both disappear when no appointments/tasks)

facade, LCD plugin, orange (shown with Georgia.ttf font)



see


and for my apps...Smart Toolkit rc8



And I use SMSBubbles for my msg alerts (best/most useful program evar)

I've decided to stop banging my head against the wall and have found another solution. The upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1 comes with nifty new "sliding panel" homescreens:

mot_SlidingPanel.home.xml
mot_SlidingPanel_Media.home.xml

Instructions for modifying them are here:

http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/...omescreen.aspx

I imagine more posts on modyfying the new sliding panel plugin will be forthcoming, but the two modifications in that blog include one to make the message notifications show only those with messages. I changed the background, dumped the media plugins, and now use this as my homescreen. I need to do some research on hopefully shrinking the height of the panel, but other than that I am happy.
