Here is an icon that fits in if you're using an iPhone theme, can somebody post it to a server so everyone can download (I do not have a server site)

He said he's going to write us an update that will have that ability. When this app was written that wasn't possible.

It's nice...I have one simlar that kathrynhr created except Guess went and changed the logo on us so we need to create a new one from the new logo.

Approximately how long do you have to wait for the icon to load? I have been trying to load the Blackberry Forums icon for a while now :/

So far, none of the icons I have tried to load have loaded. X_x How can I fix that?

[John Clark]

It usually takes only a few seconds. You most likely typo'd the web address. They are usually case sensitive, too.

[mishycupcakes]

I typed it in case-sensitive, etc, and the 'Loading Icon' thing stops, but the image still doesn't appear. :/

[John Clark]

Are you using .png type icon images?

Yes. I am typing in the link given above.

[John Clark]

It works for me...make sure you type it in EXACTLY as it's posted. You need the "http://" as well. The one that I posted is transparent-looks really nice on the BB. Is that the one you are trying?

I am typing it exactly, and, yes, I'm using the transparent one.

[John Clark]

You're doing something wrong somewhere. I just added this icon again to another shortcut and it worked fine. In the first line type the website you want the shortcut to point to (i.e. wap.blackberryforums.com). Then click "Update." Then on the second line type the link above exactly including the http:// etc, keeping in mind that it's case sensitive. If you get even one letter in the wrong case it won't download. Then click update. That should be all there is to it.

Here’s a transparent eBay icon.

Here's one for starters.

So, now that the icon shows up in the hub, is it supposed to show up as an icon in my applications menu? o_o

[John Clark]

Where the shortcuts show up depends on the theme you are using. Either the applications folder or the home screen. Did you install all the shortcuts as well as the shortcut hub?

Also, what did you do to get the icon working?

[mishycupcakes]

I meant that although the BBForums icon showed up in my hub, it didn't show up as the actual icon in the applications menu.

I didn't notice the capitalized 'F'. haha

[John Clark]

That'll do it!

The first time you click the old icon it will change to the new one. After each reboot of the BB you'll have to click it again to get the icon back. It doesn't download each time but it does need to run in order to display the cutomized icon.

Thanks! Got it to work.

I don't think this will install on an 8800. Can it be made compatable? This sounds like a very useful app.

[jfisher]

i tried it on an 8800 today and it wouldnt install through the desktop manager - i'll make sure the next version will work on all devices, will also finally get around to an ota setup - just need to get a deadline out of the way and i'll look into it.

[korereactor]

Great! Thanks!
