TIA :)
The wallpaper size for only shortcut menu on BB 99xx is 600x360.
To download (or to load from SD/Flash) wallpapers for ShortcutMe, open ShortcutMe's Home Screen, hit menu key and select "Setup Home Screen", "Background","Set Wallpaper" and ....
ShortcutMe's shortcut menu will show the wallpaper in all UI Modes (in Common Config page) except "Home Screen Off".

Confirming that this happens on my new BB OS (7.1.0.714). This is probably because something is changed with the Clock app.
I will look into how to write a workaround for it (something that doesn't messes up launching Clock on older BB OS).
In the mean time, just use this shortcut instead:
AppName: Macro
Macros: Launch net_rim_bb_clock;

The second idea was to allow other shortcuts to be visible on the standard shortcut view. At the minute, this only looks possible with the date, time, battery and weather.
What are your thoughts ?
(and thanks for the update!)
To keep ShortcutMe's Home Screen clean and useable with clear space for wallpaper , the icons on ShortcutMe's Home Screen can't have text and get resized (unlike Battery and Weather icons). But those icons can be set to open a sub section of ShortcutMe (as you wrote: your internet and maps subsection). That can be done by setting icon's launch settings to:
Application Name: ShortcutMe_Touch
Parameter: M (for Maps or I for Internet subsection).
Those icons on ShortcutMe's Home Screen can also launch a macro shortcut in ShortcutMe.
Example for nice and clean UI design (AK.B can design even better ones I am sure :) ) is:

Could you provide some details as to your issues? Maybe we could help you figure things out...

I am also waiting for a description of what doesn't work.

I made a new version, 6.2.8.1 based on your request.
You can use this version to open ShortcutMe's Home Screen directly even if you have turned it (SCM Home Screen) off in ShortcutMe.
All you need to do is to create a shortcut with AppName set to "SCM_HomeScreen" (lets say it has SHS as shortcut) and get other apps/menus to launch ShortcutMe with parameter SHS.
For example you can have ShortcutMe's Home Screen turned off so that you usually open SCM with shortcut menu opened. (the way you have it now)
But, in the same time have one of the below ways to open ShortcutMe directly in its Home Screen so that you can touch an icon to launch something:
- Select a BlackBerry System Menu (Use ShortcutMe's System Menu feature to launch SHS shortcut)
- Click an icon on BB Home Screen (Set a MyOwnIcon's or MyOwnIcons_light's icon to launch ShortcutMe with SHS parameter)
- Enter a hot key in BB Home Screen (Set a MyOwnHotKey's hot key to launch ShortcutMe with SHS parameter)
- Multiclick a media key (Set one of the MediaKeyBooster's shortcuts to launch ShortcutMe with SHS parameter)
- Tap a NFC tag (use NFCShortcuts)
You can upgrade to 6.2.8.1 using In-App Upgrade feature (Select Updates menu item in ShortcutMe) (only valid for 99xx, 981x, 985x, 986x, 979x and 938x models).
Re: ShortcutMe 6 released for all BB models (Plug-in Function, EventLauncher, HomeScreen)
That's fantastic, thank you!
Don't want to sound ungrateful or pushy, but the small icons don't give much "touch-friendliness". What would *really* make a kickass feature would be
1) ability to resize icons (or just add images?)
2) another shortcut to launch or return to shortcut menu mode (in the same way as the new SCMHomescreen)
3) ultimately, the ability to have multiple homescreens with different names and backgrounds, launchable via shortcuts. Imagine then being able to launch to homescreen mode (homescreen_0), with 4 big icons. clicking one of them takes you to another page (homescreen_1), with an internet-style wallpaper backdrop, on top of which there's an icon to launch the browser, another to launch a google search etc. Clicking the 2nd icon on homescreen_0 takes you to another page (homescreen_2), with a blurred map-style backdrop with a selection of icons to launch googlemaps, blackberry maps etc.
Sorry to sound ungrateful, I'm really not at all. The power of your app is amazing, it truly is. I just feel that adding these kind of features would allow users (and yourself) to create some incredibly complex launch structures, masked with a ridiculously simple (and visually impressive) UI. The current UI is a little restrictive, if that's the right word.
What are your thoughts ? :)
