I managed to import the project to Carbide and compile it. But when I start it from the emulator
(configuration-->themes-->power saver) I get the message

themes system error (-2) symbian

Why do I get this message? It is mentioned that hardcoded paths in the project needs to be changed. Which are these paths?

I will give away a free download of my company's product Astral effects to anyone who helps me with this. It is an application with 10 hypnotic sreensavers.
It is hower written in Java, but I want to try and make Symbian C++ saver now.

I tried to complie the project, but I get the error
"Undefined symbol: 'class CExampleScreenSaver * CExampleScreenSaver::NewL(void) (?NewL@CExampleScreenSaver@@SAPAV1@XZ)'[] on Carbide.

I couldn't open the project with Carbide, so I made a new project and then put the files from the example screensaver in the right directories in the created project. Is it OK to do so or does it mess up anything with the application UID?

I haven't worked with Carbide C++ before, but I want to make a Symbian C++ screensaver version of a Java product that my company has released:

It is an application with 10 hypnotic screensavers.

Hi,
I compiled the code, but could not see the custom screensaver on the emulator.

Can someone please help me with this?
Is it possible to use the above sample with 3rd Edition FP1 SDK ?

And what are the steps to implement it in the emulator?
Again, I followed the above instructions but did not see the new screensaver in the list

Hi,

In the example we need to pass MScreensaverPluginHost* as an arguement of InitializeL() function of CExampleScreenSaver.

Does anyone know how can we implement MScreensaverPluginHost, I have created a class derived from
MScreensaverPluginHost, and overridden all the functions with empty bodies, but it's not working.

Can anyone help???
