  • How to change the icon of the Application on Blackberry JDE 6

    Hi, do someone know how to change the icon of the application of the project, we have created in the JDE? I searched the forum, and suggestions should go to the project properties, go to the "resources" tab and add the icon file. I have also included the file icon (PNG 68x68pixel) to the project.
    But this does not seem to work for me.
    I also tried to build clean, remove files jad and others, always not when I tried the app Simulator or on real device. Any help will be appreciated.
    I use Blackberry JDE 6, test the application on the actual device (9800), Simulator (9700). And the app that I'm testing is just a pushscreen simple helloWorld app, not a lot of code here. Thank you.

    Here's how to put the icon in BlackBerry JDE.

    1. Add the image to your project.
    2. Right-click on the image and choose Properties.
    3. Check "use as icon for the Application.
    4. Rebuild the application.

    How to activate the icon of speaker on the CONNECTED screen selection?

    Hi leross,.

    I don't know what app you ask on the sound settings for your Apple Watch.  But, in general, you choose your Apple Watch as a source for your music.  Once you pair your Apple Watch with a bluetooth headset, you will be able to adjust the volume.

    Listen to music on your Apple Watch

    Play music from your Apple Watch

    You can also enjoy the music on your Apple Watch without your iPhone when you pair with a Bluetooth headset. Open the music application, scroll up, then on your Apple Watch to choose it as a source. Then scroll down and tap one of these options:

    • Playback in progress. Play / pause what is currently playing on your Apple Watch.
    • My music. After a sync a playlist to your Apple Watch, you can browse your music by Albums, artists and songs.
    • Playlists. Follow the steps below to sync a playlist to your Apple Watch.

  • How to make the icons of programs appears on the screen of windows 8

    Hi Thunderlight, you helped me with my last request and thank you again now I have another question that you might be able to help me with.  How to make the icons of programs appears on my screen of windows 8?  I had to download the debut8 when I had windows 8 so I would have the appearance of windows 7 until I have to use Windows 8.  And some of my icons of windows 7 on my windows 8, but not all.  How to go on my windows screen 8 tiles?   I now get more usage of windows 8 and use it more now so would like all my original programs that I had with windows 7 on my windows 8 as it is now tile.  I thank you and hope you can help.

    Hi Laura,

    In theory, when you switch from an earlier version of Windows to Windows 8 - as your installed applications are kept by the upgrade process, except those who are not compatible - you should find all your apps in Windows 8.

    If they all do not appear on your start screen follow these steps to pin them there:

    • [Win] + C
    • Search
    • Click anywhere in the top middle of the screen to hide the charm bar

    All installed applications are displayed. They do not necessarily correspond on a single screen to use the horizontal "lift" to bottom of the screen to move to the right / left

    • Right-click on an application, you want to pin to the start screen
    • Click on Pin to Start at the bottom left of the screen

    You are finished. A mosaic of this application is available on the start screen.

    If there is an application, you are sure is installed on your PC and you don't think through the steps made me know - there will be more complex...

    If you install a new application under Windows 8 the corresponding tile is automatically added to your start screen.

    Hope this helps

    See you soon

    Do you mean the favicon?

    I only learned that recently about favicons myself - so if you google the word you will get a lot of resources to do this. Bascially, it's a little icon file located in the root directory of your site that browsers search and display for you. As long as the file is there (* named favicon.ico*) will automatically appear if I'm wrong in what I read.

    It's the thing you're looking for? (edit: it also appears in your list of bookmarks in firefox - if it isn't the one you want it is the favicon file)
