    It's a bug with the latest version. I don't know whether to release one more bugfix or just hold off for 1.0 for a couple more days.

    To get around it, don't SSH your theme or zip it. Just build it. And if you want to put it on your phone, just use the theme manager to SSH it. It will work fine ;)

    I noticed the same thing. Strangely when I tested it out before on Mono I had no problems with lag and unresponsiveness. I'm not sure what could be causing it.
    Another problem I noticed is the file paths. Like on windows directory separators are "\" and on linux/unix its "/". The application wouldn't start not on root because of this. I read about IOMap on Mono's site: http://www.mono-project.com/IOMap
    But it doesn't seem to be helping at all. Did iDesigner create it's directory under your profile?

    Well funny story... Mono wouldn't actually run the installer, so I installed it with wine, then ran it with Mono, so I am not even sure if it is installed properly, or where the user directory would be. I did notice that it isn't displaying the filesystem properly though. Doesn't appear to be in ~/.mono like I would have expected, so... And its not in ~/.wine either, unless its in a very strange directory. I figured mono would handle the \ to / conversion properly though.

    No problem, and there will be a fix soon :)

    Are you on Vista? Make sure you're running the setup as an Administrator.

    Yeah, the installer isn't written in any .net language so it won't work with mono. I'm going to have to package a multiOS version differently.

    It should create its files in your home directory. So it should be /home/youruser/iDesigner/*. But now it's wanting to put them here: /home\YourUser\iDesigner\ so it doesn't run unless run as root, and then it makes weird files on the filesystem.

    And yes mono should be taking care of that... But of course that's just too easy to work :rolleyes:

    First of all, very nice app!!! I really love it.

    I have a question. When i want to make a new theme and i add a new sound to sms-received1, it won't play it when i upload it to my iphone. The lockscreen and wallpaper are fine, but no sound when i try the sms received.

    What must the format be to change the ringtoon or sms received sound? I used a mp3, but it doesn't seem to work. Any idea?

    edit: the soundfile is in the UISounds map and when i play it on my pc, it works. But my iphone won't play it.

    It needs to be AIF or CAF file. I found this post:
    http://modmyi.com/forums/ringtone-a...-sms-alerts-different-format.html#post1697291
    Which explains how to use Audacity to convert the files directly to a CAF file.

    The only thing I can think of is that maybe your download was corrupted in some way? I've tested this on on many builds of XP/Vista/7 with no problems.

    Could it possibly be an antivirus blocking the installation?

    If you know how could you take a screenshot of the error?
