Fast Dial on My BlackBerry Bold 9000. Awesome!
jmarkybb Sat, 12/13/2008 - 14:36
First of all I would like to thank all the people of my two favourite most outstanding & informative forums including Telega, Chiaroscuro, Mafia_Penguin, Macleod.Mac, MafiOz, sjdvda, of Userlogos.org & Peter Wilson, Andrew Uy of BerryTastic.com Whom I am never likely to meet, Most of whom I don't know their real names but with thanks to their knowledge and the wonderfull free software Mozilla FF, FastDial, Gimp, BlackBerry and Berrytastic.com. I am indebted to you all for giving me the technology, knowledge and most importantly your time and patience,with out these above attributes of the afore mentioned people FastDial on my BlackBerry Bold 9000 would not be possible.
Now then, how will this be possible? Well with Jonathan Fisher's Shortcut Hub Utility and Macleod.mac's logo for Berrytastic.com plus any more visual bookmarks that you and I might need whilst away from our laptops/PC's and a bit of wizardry in Gimp (still working on this). I have got to learn how to use Gimp, to re-configure all my logos to 32x32.
I am going to be able to give each website its own folder, visual bookmarks for the BlackBerry Bold, or VB. Fast Dial replaces blank tabs with a panel of thumbnails of your favourite sites.
This has been posted on the Userlogos Forum and I will be telling them the same about this post, thus generating more traffic, i.e. more new fresh ideas from the Bowden Files.
Stay tuned for screenshots of the finished project...
Editor's note** The Webshortcuts app was originally written for devices running OS 4.2 only. The author, Jonathan Fisher is currently re-writing the code to accomodate updated devices. Mr. Fisher will give BerryTastic.com the exclusive first looks at his very useful applications for BlackBerry in the near future

Seriously. Great stuff
I really should learn to use GIMP better. I rely on Fw too much tbh.

I would also suggest you use Paint.NET Instead of GIMP if you want to change the size of the icons. I find Paint.NET the easiest and fastest image editor to use even though I have Fireworks, Photoshop and GIMP.
P.S: If you want me to do the work for you, just send me the images and I'll do it. I'm currently in the holidays and I'm always looking for something to do (except picture editing chatting, playing video games and checking my Facebook status every 15 mins :D)
Cheers,

I dont know what to say, I am speachless, all I have done is bring two forums together, that I spend alot of my time on, doing things I love to do, tweaking FD, FF.
only had my BlackBerry 11 weeks, but berrytastic has helped me alot.
These two sites help me tweak the hardware I love using, could not get through the day nowadays without my laptop/blackberry.

Submitted by sjdvda on Sat, 12/13/2008 - 17:12Lol, I think Mark has a talent for creating topics that get a lot of replies one way or the other. (And there's no need to be so modest about this Mark!)
I really like Mafi0z, Mafia_Penguin & macleod.mac's logos and Mark and chiaroscuro's posts!
