Theme Builder Doing Something Weird...

[Blackfeet]

I am not sure where to start with this, but here goes....

Just yesterday, I was working on my personal theme, playing around with some of the Hot Key Actions in composer, then saving it as a svg file, then, of course, adding it to my theme. However, when I rebooted my 9650, and started verifying what I did, a couple of things were really whacked, and I can not figure out why, or how to undo it.

#1: When I open the Applications Screen, it opens over top (for lack of a better term) of my deToday home screen app. This did not happen before yesterday. Screen Capture to help explain:


#2: In the Messages screen, suddenly I have two rows of "info" along the top, including network ID, and other stuff I don't need, never used, didn't have until yesterday. Another Capture:


Now, I am pretty sure I did something, but I have no idea what, to cause this. I do know that until late yesterday afternoon, I had neither of these issues. When I get home, I am going to dump my svg and start over, but before that, I wanted to see if anybody could help me out with some ideas of what caused this in the first place.

Thanks....

post the SVG (attach it as a txt file)

Ok - but I am at a Graduation event (not mine - THAT is a long time ago) until late tonight, so I'll get it posted tomorrow sometime.

Thanks...

Here you go, as requested. I haven't had a chance yet to make a new file and replace it. I am interested to see if this is the culprit.

Thanks...

that SVG couldnt be more simple.. there is nothing in there that would cause this... but im going to load it up for fun and run it in the sim.

i loaded it up and didnt get the problems you see....
try removing the svg from the theme and loading it.

OK - tried that but with the same results. One thing I neglected to mention is that I have been getting these "Warning Messages" also:
Warning: The following resources could not be included in the theme for reasons explained below:
banner.svg
application-menu.svg

Warnings:

Does this help at all? I am thinking of just starting over and seeing what happens. And I mean dumping my theme, starting from scratch, and moving forward. thanks for the help all the same - I'd like to figure this out so I don't do again what I did this time.

i think you need to. im not sure how you did that since there is no svg for the banner (except for on export.. and thats advanced theme building)
start over and do each section.. then test on the simulator. dont bother loading on your phone till you get a bunch done that you know works

I was afraid you might say that. I guess I might as well get to it. Gonna take me a while.

Dang.... Thanks all the same...

Hey - just to close this out, I went back a few version of the theme, changed the screen around to what I really wanted, created a new svg file in Composer, loaded it all up, and all is back to where it should be. The messages window now just has a single row across the top, and the home screen stays there - no more showing up on the app screen also.

Thanks for the help - not sure what I did or if I'll every figure it out, but it was different.
