Press 7 and type in 27 and ok it
to jump to position 27, press 0 to
divide the screen into two parts,
the left side is in HEX while the
right side is in Decimal. Please read carefully here not to get confused Starting from position 27 write
down all the Hex values
excluding the four zero's after
each Hex till you get to position
28. The Hex values looks like this
"30A7000030C30000318A0000326C0000338C000034A2...............3D22"
but just record
30A7
30C3
318A
326C
338C
34A2
..............
..............
3D22.
• (NOTE: they are 16 in
numbers).
.
Now open Calc4M, subtract the
size of your image from the
default image and record down
your answer. (Mine is
35100-1059=34041)
Type in that your answer and
press down two times then long
press # key to convert it to Hex
and then record down your
answer. (mine is 84F9) (this last
answer is what you are going to
make use of now)
Look the top of the calculator if
you see 'Calc4M-Hex' which
means is in Hex mode if u didn't
see it change it to Hex mode.
Now add your Hex answer to the
Hex values u recorded down
with the class editor
• (NOTE: if your image is smaller
than the default image u will
then subtract it from the
recorded Hex values)
Your work should looks
something like this
30A7+84F9 = B5A0
30C3+84F9 = B5BC
318A+84F9 = B683
............................................................
............................................................
3D22+84F9 = C21B
.
.
Again open the 'v' file of the
unpacked operamini with class
editor, press 0 to divide the
screen, press 7 and type in 27
and ok it, now replace all
the Hex value you recorded
starting from position 27 and
end at position 88.
( To replace move the black
cursor on the one u want to
replace and press '3' and then
type in your Manipulated Hex
value and ok it, repeat the same
for all till you changed all the Hex
values)
(please be careful for not to
make mistake because that will
give u a white splash screen.)
after replacing all press left soft
key and save it. ¤ Next is the installing bar colour changing ¤ Still on the 'v' file search for PNG
press # two times and it will take
you to the last PNG file. Use the
proceedure u used to extract the
one of the theme on the 1st post
to extract it, open blueFTP or x-
plore to rename it to buf_v.png
as u did on the theme.
Now open any of the image
editors and then open it, the first
sphere is the installing bar colour
while the second sphere is the
background. After changing the
colour to the one of your choice
save it.
(Note: it should not be more than
the size of the default 1)
Now open class editor and open
the image, press * and highlight
everything press and then copy
it.
Without closing the class editor
open the 'v' file, press 9 and
search for PNG, press # 2 times
to goto the last PNG. Now press *

till you get exactly the size of the
previously copied image press 5
