Another skin generation 'fix'. Exporting the scalables60skin content like the other skins (changeset 80be58896cab Bug 1410 ). Hopefully this means that We don't get the problem with $(EXTENSION_ROOT) which we have been. This really needs a proper fix by someone more experienced with FLMs.
Precacher tool
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1:
Ensure the skins folder has series60skin_MIFList.txt. Compile \s60\mw\uiresources\skins\AknSkinContent to generate if its not present
Step 2:
Run IconId.pl
usage: IconId.pl MIFList-file build-path out-file
Example
Y:\>IconId.pl Y:\s60\mw\uiresources\skins\AknSkinContent\generated\scalableseries60skin\data\series60skin_MIFList.txt y: iconlist.csv
This generates the icon enum, major, minor number, icon id in iconlist.csv
Step 3:
Define the MACRO's for precacher,
Macro PRECACHE2 should be defined to enable the precacher.
Macro PRECACHELOG should be defined to get the traces generated
To define the macro put the below code in AknIcon.mmp(in folder \s60\mw\uiresources\uigraphics\AknIcon\group)
MACRO PRECACHE2
MACRO PRECACHELOG
#define PRECACHELOG
Generate the build, flash the phone
Now start the phone open all the applications whose icons you wish to precache
This creates the trace file logs\AknIconPreCacher\Traces.txt (create the folder AknIconPreCacher if not already present)
Step 4:
Run IconLoads.pl
usage: iconlist iconloads out-file
Example
Y:\>IconLoads.pl iconlist.csv Y:\epoc32\winscw\c\logs\AknIconPreCacher\Traces.txt resources.rss
This generates the resource file in the required format
Step 5:
Copy the contents of the resource file (resources.rss in this case) into AknIconSrv.rss.
it will be in the folder \s60\mw\uiresources\uigraphics\AknIcon\srvsrc.
RESOURCE ARRAY r_precache_list2
{
items =
{
// copy the icon list here
};
}
Step 6:
Compile the AknIcon code, the macro PRECACHE2 should be defined (if not already done)to enable precaching
uncomment (or remove ) the macro definition for PRECACHELOG.
