I managed to do this i have created a full screen animated menu and it looka grate.. Just edit the graphic size in PPMedit to 64*28 and remove the menu name form the Languages section Say you want to make all the pix large on the message menu just go to languages find the second occurance of the word Messages and delete all the characters say ok and go to the bitmaps section and change the size of the messages menu to 64*28 on all the 12 frames of the animation and you have it a full screen menu.

Make sure you cleanup any pixels of rubish after you have enlarged the menu graphics...

The cracked version of ppmedit seems to have a bug when making graphics larger. I gave up using it. It resized the graphics, but screwed up all the other graphics.

The latest version of FLSEdit did the trick. And FLSEdit is free. (I hope that FLSEdit competes out PPMEdit totally. Great job Joox ;)

FLSEdit is available here: http://www.tech-productions.de/nokia/FLSEdit.zip

I forgot to mention one thing. The menu animations cannot be larger than 64*28. If you resize them further, they just don't show at all.

thanks all, would it be possible if you delete the "select" text to make it larger? and is it possible to make something that is permanently on the bottom of the screen like how projectz have put thesignal thingys down ther? i want to do that (kinda) i want to have like a start menu of windows (the toolbar) so it would just be 2 horizontal lines strectching fully and a black box where start is located...
thanks :)

on my 3210

I've got a games menu with the graphics from 3410 (80x25) and a call divert with a screensaver (74x29) phone seems to work no problems, no corruption in graphics

Hmm. I've tried with larger graphics on both 3310 and 6150 with the p firmware. And graphics larger than 64*28 just don't show.

Does 3210 have animated menus? (I don't remember) If it doesn't maybe this is why it works.

I'm still working on making the menu graphics larger than 64*28 on a 3310. I'll notify if sucessfull ;-)

Let me know if you get it to work. If so I think I'll go hide under a rock. I've been trying different sollutions and programs for a week now.

hope your rock is nice and clean and comfy, managed to put 3410 call register graphics (80x25)onto 3330 4.16

I think what you might have to do is create the graphics the size you want in a paint program, rather than enlarging the graphic within flsedit, then importing them and removing the text label from the language you use,

I changed frames down to 8 but I don't think that matters, as the graphics are still contained in the file

cool thing I found was, I didn't need to calc checksum after using flsedit but I think it must do it for you :)

Nope. I've tried that also. Well I guess I'll just have to try on a fresh .fls file meaning I have to redo all of my other mods.

i've managed to upload a 72x28 big animation into my 3310 5.59 and it seems to work fine. i'll try to increase the height of the image. (delete the "select" option or how is it called, in my language it's different).

Wildheart Baby

yeah tested it, make a square all filled in and remove one pixel on each line from the middle one pixel down then one pixel along keep doing this untill reach edge of square then based on what shows you'll know how big it can be :)

maybe somebody here could enlighten us on how to make the bitmap animation loop...coz when i used the "bells" (the swingin bells when our phone alarms) animation in my new menu, it will not stop swingin...so, it will be great if we can loop all our menu animation!!!
