Home Screen Changer?

[TarHeelsRule!]

Probably will but Mom won't be too suprised. She's used to me and my quirkiness. Since my bf passed away there is no man to get upset about my homescreen so if I forget won't cause too many problems. Could shock some little old ladies in the grocery line but they probably could use the excitement.

ThemeChanger allows to change the background image automatically. Very limited, but you see it's possible.
Check here...

Also, you could use your profiles for that. Changing the homescreen based on the profile is possible.

How is this possible? (I would have just said How? but the response has to be 10 characters long

Sorry for the mental image! And no, my Mom, while she won't be shocked at my homescreen she won't want to see it. I'm from the dirty south where we pretend all babies were conceived by immaculate conception!

I'm not sure if there's an English "manual" for that... A German guy posted about that a while back on a German board. And guess what, he posted in German, so I can't just copy and paste Let's see if I can grab the needed steps and give a short explanation...


HOW TO: ADD SPECIAL ACTIONS TO PROFILES

First, you need to go to \Application Data\Profiles\, there you should find *.prof.xml files. Those are the profile files. Copy the *.xml file onto your PC and open it with any text editor. Search for a tag <characteristic type="Registry"> (should be one of the first). Simply add the wanted actions under that line. Here are some possibilities:

Homescreen based on profile:

<characteristic type="HKCU\ControlPanel\Home">
<parm name="Scheme" value="\Application Data\Home\blah.home.xml" datatype="string"/>
<parm name="BgImage" value="\Application Data\Home\blah.jpg" datatype="string"/>
</characteristic>

"Large menu font" based on profile: (handy for car usage or so)

<characteristic type="HKCU\ControlPanel\Accessibility">
<parm name="FontSize" value="2"/>
</characteristic>

Ringtone based on profile:

<characteristic type="HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds">
<characteristic type="RingTone0">
<parm name="Sound" value="\Application Data\Sounds\ThisIsASound.wav"/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>


All the file paths need to be adjusted of course.

Hope this works for ya All credits go to CookieCruncher, the smart German guy who shared his knowledge about that
