Notice; update below! Have fun with this!
When I first started messing around with the Bezier lwp I was not too impressed. After giving Bezier a second chance and messing with the settings I am actually impressed with what this lwp can do. It makes pure artwork!
Try these settings and you will see what I mean...

I know! Those settings turn it into the most artistic lwp I have seen. I was amazed. Makes me wonder if anyone else has tweaked the settings to get any other cool effects.
Damn man....love it!! That was the LWP I used too, now it the "setting" I use too Thanks!!!

You should post a video.
I like it! Was using Plasma, but noticed when installing apps and doing certain things, the phone was kind of sluggish. Going to try this for a week or so and see how it runs in comparison. Thanks!
That is incredible! Awesome settings!

I should post a video but the wife is hogging the laptop and I got a appointment with a pillow. I have to go back to work for 12 more hours tonight and I definitely need more sleep.
If any one wants to create a video feel free to, I can add it to the first post when I get up.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
lol, i did the same thing i just went "oooooohhhh"
wow very cool!
pretty cool looking, reminds me of a peacock feather
I like these settings. I hope this thread grows and other people post there settings. I really like this live wallpaper!

Ill let you know but I think it sticks with the old openGL...if it sticks then the this would be what you want to do for performance. You try it out by flashing flipz opengl undo.
Since is quite annoying scrolling in Menus when there are more than 6 tiles/options, I've managed to increase the number of tiles in HTC Menus from 6 rows to 8 in portrait mode (and from 4 rows to 5 in landscape mode) decreasing the height of tiles from 42 pixels to 34 (finger-friendly enough as you see in images below ).
Previous Important Note
Although HTC Menus should work ONLY under Manil2D, you can work with HTC Menus WITHOUT Manila2D (instead of WM Menus by default) installing the file UpL HTCMenus NO M2D.cab provided below. To restore to default WM Menus, just uninstall this cab.
All credits about this tweak in this post:
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6641868&postcount=2
Instructions
Install UpL HTCMenus 8Rows BLUE QVGA.cab if you want blue selection colour or UpL HTCMenus 8Rows DEFAULT QVGA.cab for dark-brown default selection colour.
If you don't like the final result (and you didn't back up your modified registry keys/files before ), you can restore your registry keys and Menu settings by default installing UpL HTCMenus 6Rows Restore BLUE QVGA.cab in blue colour, or UpL HTCMenus 6Rows Restore DEFAULT QVGA.cab in dark-brown default colour.
Important Note
I tested it ONLY in my HTC Mega device (QVGA screen) and works like a charm. I don't know how it works in other QVGA devices and, of course, I'm not responsible of whatever happens in other devices or resolutions.
-----------------------------------------------
In the following post there is a brief explaination of the tweak/mod I've done.
Explaination
The Tweak/Mod consists mainly in:
-Resize HTCMenus.png height from 124pixels (1+42+42+42+1=124pixels) to 104pixels (1+34+34+34+1=104pixels) [or 80,9% (34pixels tile/42pixels tile=0,809)] in Windows folder
-Edit and change the registry keys as follows below:
Code:
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCMenus","ItemHLTile"="10,[COLOR="Red"]34[/COLOR],0,0,11,22,33,44,55,66,77,88"
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCMenus","ItemTile"="10,[COLOR="Red"]33[/COLOR],[COLOR="Red"]70[/COLOR],0,22,33,44,55,66,77"
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCMenus","ItemClickHL"="10,[COLOR="Red"]34[/COLOR],[COLOR="Red"]35[/COLOR],0,11,22,33,44,55,66,77,88"
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCMenus","ItemHL"="0,[COLOR="Red"]34[/COLOR],0,0"
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCMenus","ItemHW"="220,280,[COLOR="Red"]33[/COLOR],[COLOR="Red"]34[/COLOR]"
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCMenus","LandscapeMaxItemCount"=[COLOR="Red"]5[/COLOR]
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCMenus","PortraitMaxItemCount"=[COLOR="Red"]8[/COLOR]
where you change only the following registry values:
From 4 to 5 tiles in Landscape mode
From 6 to 8 tiles in Portrait mode
From 41 to 33 pixels size
From 42 to 34 pixels size
From 43 to 35 pixels size
From 86 to 70 because there starts the 3rd. row (white tiles) in default "HTCMenus.png" (43pixels+43pixels=86pixels) that is (35pixels+35pixels=70pixels) in new "HTCMenus.png"
-And finally, replace your new "HTCMenus.png" in Windows folder after a backup of your previous "HTCMenus.png" to restore if necessary.
Customizations (to do)
So you can easily resize your HTCMenus in the way it fits better to you.
You can use this thread to change "HTCMenus.png" file in size, color and "effects", and the registry keys involved (including fonts not changed above)
I can start with the registry keys written/changed above and my resized "HTCMenus.png" attached below.
Enjoy it!
Great idea and thanks for your work...will try when I get back from business trip.
Confirmed works......!!
my htc is better than before. thank you.
thankss. will try it..
Could you make some change to htcmenus and make it work in new ui such as 23123 and so on
Thank you

I've included 2 cabs. Install the first one. If you don't like the final result (and you didn't back up your modified registry keys/files before ), you can come back to HTC Mega Default Menu settings installing the second one.

Thanks for your landscape test!
My first 8 Rows .cab file supported 6 tiles in Landscape mode instead of the 5 tiles I wrote. I edited the 1st post and changed the Landscape registry of my 8 Rows cab file from 6 (tiles) to 5. Also, I included a new Landscape pic to see it in action.
I prefer to keep it in 5 tiles (in Landscape mode), because 6 tiles overwrite the taskbar a few pixels. Of course, feel free to change or edit the .cab file (or your registry) to your own like.

Sorry for my delay!
Check if you work under Manila2D (TouchFlo2D) in your device. This Menu should work ONLY under Manila2D. Otherwise, you'll see the default Windows Mobile Menu but not this HTC Menu.
But if tou want HTCMenus without Manila2D, please read carefully the edited 1st post.
Cheers!
Tested working without Manila... PERFECT!
Thnks a lot!!!
Very very very usefull app
KWGT is KLWP little brother, if you do not want animations and per second updates or just need a widget, than, this is it! Same great customization, global properties, layers, effects, complex objects, live maps and a LOT of data, weather, astronomy, world clock, rss, you name it! And you can copy objects from KLWP too!
App is available on the play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kustom.widget
Or via manual download here: https://kustom.rocks/kwgt/apk
Use KWGT awesome WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor to create you own designs and display any data you need, at once and without draining your battery as many others tools do! With Kustom Widget you can create customized Digital and analog clocks, live map widgets, sophisticated Battery/Memory meters, randomly changing images, music players and much much more. Imagination is the limit.
Official XDA Threads
Kustom Komponents Gallery (AKA reusable Widgets inside Kustom)
Kustom APK Skins Pack
What's the difference with Zooper, Mycw, Buzz or UCCW??
You have Komponents which are like widgets inside widgets or reusable items inside the editor. So for example you can create a clock and redistribute it as a module for KWGT, users will just add your clock and change the options you expose (like colors and font), there are many examples online on the store already or you can check the dedicated thread above
You can download content directly from HTTP, so you can have a Google Map with the city you are in directly in the widget background if you want, or use Street View, or you can have a Komponent that does that for you like this, you can add it with one click
You have global variables, so you can set a color once and then use it whenever you like, so, when you want to change it you just change the global and it will change the color everywhere in one click, this allows users of your theme to change color easily
You can create touch actions that will hide / show elements based on touch, so you can show full weather data when someone clicks on a weather icon and then hide it automatically after X seconds
You have containers, so you can group items inside an object, move them together, apply effects and rotation to the entire group
You have built in music support, so music will work without any additional tool, no music utilities needed, it just works
You have more effects, like long shadows, morphable text, blur images and so on
You can extract colors from images, cover art or anything downloaded from the internet (like kolorette does, but builtin)
You can use formulas on any property you like, no need to use "advanced parameters", you just turn a property into a formula and then you can do anything you like
You have full support for different location, so you can apply a location to any group and make a world clock in seconds, locations are then easily accessible from the settings
You have much more functions, you can download text from HTTP, use regular expressions, parse RSS, XML and JSON, do math with dates, create timers
Much better resizing, the widget will resize automatically and touch will always work on any module regardless of the orientation
A wizard to create APK skins in seconds without any Android development knowledge or additional tool except the JDK
Last but not least KWGT is much much more battery efficient, you can check this easily with a good battery monitor like better battery stats plus, Kustom has 2 processes so you can clearly see the difference between the editor and the real widget/wallpaper service)
Free Features
Some skin to start with and some Komponent (a Widget inside a Widget in Kustom)
Some free featured Komponents and Presets from the Play Store
Text with custom fonts, colors, sizes and effects
Shapes like Ovals, Rects, Arcs, Triangles, Exagons and more
3D flip transformations, curved and skewed text
Gradients, shadows, tiling and color filters
Progress bars Zooper like (but better!)
Photoshop / GIMP like layers with overlay effects (blur, clear, xor, difference, saturation)
Touch actions / hotspots on any object you create
Support for PNG / JPG / WEBp (also via HTTP download)
Complex programming with functions, conditionals and global variables
Dynamic download of content via HTTP (live maps, weather and so on)
Native music utilities (current playing song title, album, cover)
Weather with wind chill, feels like temperature and more
RSS and free XML / XPATH / Text download
Tasker support
A huge amount of data to display (like date, time, battery, calendar, astronomy (sunrise, sunset), CPU speed, memory, countdowns, WiFi and cellular status, traffic info, next alarm, location, moving speed, rom/device info and much more)
Pro
Remove the ADS
Support the dev!
Unlock import from SD and all external skins
Recover preset
Buzz Launcher import support
Save the world from alien invasion

I've been waiting for this thread. Awesome app!!
Good
:good:
I really like this app but coming from zooper, i found some most needed features missing like SMS, missed calls, gmail etc. I hope you include these along with whatsapp, facebook and twitter.

So unread counts are planned, for SMS missed calls and Gmail i will add a plugin if you are running android < 6.0. Whatsapp / FB and Twitter have no way to get unread counts BUT i will add notifications support so you will be able to count unread notifications. Stay tuned

Great! it will be great to have most of zooper's customization features. Is there anyway to change the weather iconset? I liked zooper's resizable vector icons with option to change its color and alpha opacity.

Yeah sure, in KWGT you can even use SVG files for that and distribute them as Komponents, please check the "featured" section when adding a Komponent you will see many for download or search for Weather Komponents around, there are also some tutorials on the official page
Taking Zooper looks like abandonware, tryed this app. Look good, but placing text is a crime. Using Zooper you can give an area a destiny of text and regulate the max amount of lines, etc. Within KWGT I don't have real control over text items. This is a must have
Great potential....but not there yet (no buy yet). Hope it will (Love tweaking my homescreens!)

I can add the max number of lines on next release, very easy, i do not however understand the "etc", what else is missing? Also did you check the list of things that Zooper cannot do compared to KWGT? Its here. I know i am biased but i think KWGT is years ahead.
I don't doubt that Already seen some nice extra's
I also see a lot of similarites with Zooper, which makes me think it is based on in a new iteration (which makes me doubt for buying before I know it fits). It also could be a new app which uses Zooper and takes it a level further. (Seen a reaction in another thread, other people are doubting because of this). My goal: Getting the right app to do the things I want with my home screen And yours looks promising
My main problem is the widget size, compared to the text control. I understand you translate 720 to all other devices. But if I edit "my widget", it only gets a width which is maxed for a halve or third of the screen (On my Galaxy S6 using nova launcher). This makes editing harder to do. Scaling is one option, but it does not yet works practical for me (PEBKAC ?)
Also changing orientation looks like it is missing a correct scaling (widget gets wider, but it looks like it is smaller). But it changes, instead of zooper . There is also a lag when changing orientation (default redraw timer, not reacting to orientation switch).
What I like would be a text region on my canvas, which I can position and give a height (or max height) and width.
Dimensions are now based on
- Fixed width, which does not give me enough control to position multiline text (control is lost especially in the vertical)
- Fixed Font height, which results in text running out of the screen
- Fit width, which does not use the amount of space in the vertical
My suggestion would be to separate the text and text region (settings).
- Setting the dimensions: (width fixed or relative E.g. 100%, height), give the postion (fixed or relative)
- Setting the font info: How to use the region e.g. fixed font size, fill, vertical/horizontal alignment, max amount of lines/single line, (max amount of characters ?)
The etc is/was a lazy way of saying the above

This has nothing to do with Zooper, i started KLWP (and then KWGT) because i felt options on the store were really too bad in terms of resources and features and UI, so this is inspired by other widget makers (and wallpaper makers too) but completely on its own, so, you should avoid thinking about Zooper when using KWGT as its quite different on some fundamentals.
Anyway you do not actually need to buy KWGT since all features are available in the free version, but if you buy it and you feel you want a refund in, say, 1 month from now, just drop me an email, will refund.

The widget is different from the live wallpaper, in the widget with no scaling "720" means the shortest side of the widget (so the height on a 4x2 or the width in a 2x4), but you should not care about that since there is no limit on that anywhere and scaling just changes how that size is interpreted (so with scaling set to 200 720 will become 360), not sure why is impractical, it just works and scales correctly (Zooper does not even scale, if you change the widget size you have to relayout manually...). If you scale a KWGT it will redraw and adapt based on its size automatically.

You need to set Orientation to "AUTO" in the Widget settings, by default KWGT expects that your launcher orientation is locked. If you set it to AUTO it will draw properly in both orientation rearranging everything based on size, it will still have some lag, like 100/200ms depending on the complexity because KWGT will redraw everything (this is different from Zooper / UCCW they always draw both the landscape and portrait so there is no lag but they are much less efficient because you end up drawing something that you do not need most of the times doubling the resources required like RAM and CPU / Battery).

You can do max amount of characters or even ellipsize using $tc(ell, text, 10)$ for example, that will cut and if larger add "..." at the end. For everything else i think having the max number of lines combined with the fit width will do exactly what you want.
I was a zooper user for many years, and like others I began to realize that it appears to be an abandon product - certainly there were no updates for a long time.
I was looking to where to go in the future, and looked at all the similar products. KWLP (KWGT was not available at the time) appeared to be the most sophisticated of the alternatives.
I discovered that I was able to replicate all of my zooper widgets in KWLP - and it gave me even more capabilities. The only personal downside was that I prefered widgets (and the ease of placement on a page) to the live wallpaper. Then KWGT - gave me everything. In a very short time, I took all of my zooper, now kwlp items to kwgt. I now consider kwgt a complete (and then some) replacement to zooper. Bottom line, there was a small learning curve, but once past that I have everything I had with zooper and then some. On top of that, kwlp/kwgt is under constant development and super support from the developer. You can see from the responses above that he takes customer support and product quality/development very seriously. Zooper has no active development and I question if there is a future at all.
kwlp/kwgt has a very active user community on g+ (frankly I like xda forums better) - but there is alot of community and developer support.
Basically I made the switch and am very happy to have done so.

And welcome to Kustom!
Is it possible to backup (not export) my widget config and reapply it to a new widget?
PS, the config utility is very heavy, sometimes it loads up to 5 minutes. WTF?
---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------
One more question. Can the progressbars use a formula as a parameter? Or only fixed parameters? And can a standard progressbar (battery) use a custom number of sections?
Not bad, I try
The latest version has a strange bug. $nc(csiga)$ often freezes and constantly displays 9 (not 99!) until I lock the screen. I never had this bug on Zooper, so it's not hardware or firmware.

This loading issue has been reported by more than one user, i cannot reproduce it on my device and it does not happen on the live wallpaper version (KLWP) so i can't really understand what its going on, can you create a full bug report as explained here: http://kustom.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/615645-send-debug-data (follow the android bug report section), that will be very useful
To copy a widget into another you have 3 options:
Open the first, select all items press "copy" and then open the second and press paste

One more question. Can the progressbars use a formula as a parameter? Or only fixed parameters? And can a standard progressbar (battery) use a custom number of sections?

Yeah sure, to create a formula based progress bar just do the following:
Set progress to "Custom", a new option will show called "Progress"
Select the option called "Level" and turn it into a formula
Use a formula that returns a value between 0 and 100 ($bi(level)$ for example)
Select the sections you need

The latest version has a strange bug. $nc(csiga)$ often freezes and constantly displays 9 (not 99!) until I lock the screen. I never had this bug on Zooper, so it's not hardware or firmware.

This is strange, will look into it (and thanks for reporting also in the G+ community)
Hi Frank,
I am creating an IOS style status bar and it is coming up nicely but i ran into a few issues. I am using a formula to set the visibility to ALWAYS or NEVER when bluetooth, airplane mode, wifi, carrier bars etc are turned on/off. It works perfectly for airplane mode, wifi, 3G/4G etc but there is a delay of say 5-10 seconds when i turn bluetooth and alarm on/off. Is there a way to speed up the refresh rate?

So for Alarm its not currently because android does not actually "broadcast" the change, i am working on a better approach on Android 5.x or better but i am not sure that will entirely fix this.
For bluetooth it will be fixed in next release (just forgot to register a listener for that)

Great! I look forward to next release. I forgot to mention that 3G/4G [ nc(dtypes) ] also takes a while although it is usually less than 5 seconds but delay is still there.
Question: Suppose we have 3 items like shape1, shape2 and shape3. They are horizontally or vertically displayed inside a stacked group. If i set the visibility of shape2 (middle one) to "NEVER" it disappears but it still takes that space and there is a big gap between shape1 and shape3. Is there a way to snap shape3 to shape1 so there will be no gape if the visibility of shape2 is set to NEVER? This is currently causing some design issues and i can't find a way to fix this.
Cheers.
As you all know June update limits choices for the color of navigation bar. But underlying settings can be still set to arbitrary values using adb shell.
- No root access needed
- No extra applications needed
- No changing themes needed
- Change is persistent after reboot.
Relevant settings are under global/navigationbar_current_color and global/navigationbar_color.
For example by running this you'll get a dark shade:
Code:
adb shell settings put global navigationbar_color -317057255
adb shell settings put global navigationbar_current_color -317057255
adb shell settings put global navigationbar_use_theme_default 0
You can change the number value to get different colors. Default is "-986896"
Pay attention to minus sign if result of calculation is negative, it is significant.
Color picker
To pick colors easily and calculate their values automatically you can use the color picker
Example colors
• Opaque black: -16777216
• Transparent black: 65793 (this is not true black - rgb (0,0,0), but almost black - rgb (1,1,1)-)
• Transparent gray: 8421504
You can use the color picker linked above to calculate values for arbitrary colors of your choice.
Caveats
• Don't use transparent colors if you don't want navigation bar color to change with different apps (ex. keyboard)
• Some applications may set custom colors for navigation bar. This setting only changes default color of the bar, it doesn't override application specific colors.
• Fully transparent navigation bar is not possible except few builtin applications (eg. Gallery or app switcher). You can specify transparency but it just specifies how the nav. bar. color will render on top of the applications color, it doesn't mean the application will render under the navigation bar
• For some reason fully transparent true black shows up as opaque white in most applications. Workaround is using almost black colors instead of true black.
Details for manually calculating values:
Value format is ARGB hex color code converted to signed decimal. (Thanks Acoustichayes for pointing it out.)
1. Pick a color and find out its RGB hex code using a color picker (such as http://htmlcolorcodes.com/). For example you should get.
2. If you want transparency you must prepend transparency value to the color value. 00 is fully transparent, ff is fully opaque, inbetween are varying degrees of transparency.
3. Convert this value to decimal
4. If the resulting value is larger than 2147483647, subtract 4294967296 from it.
Example:
1. Hex value of desired color is #4826bf
2. We want 10% transparency, thus using e6 as the hex value for transparency. Prepend to color value and the number becomes e64826bf
3. Convert to decimal: 3863488191
4. 3863488191 is greater than 2147483647 (max signed int), thus our value wraps and become
Code:
3863488191 - 4294967296 = -431479105
5. Run
Code:
adb shell settings put global navigationbar_color -431479105
adb shell settings put global navigationbar_current_color -431479105
Does it stick after a reboot?

If you figure out the meaning of values please share with us
Hello, newbie here and I am not happy with the new update. If its okay, can you put a step by step on how to do this? I've never tried doing this kimd of things but I would if there's an instruction. Thanks!!
Are they not her values for color?
Generally, 6 digits is base color, eg: ffffff is white. Where each double digit is a representation of r, g, b.
And 8 digits adds alpha value(transparency) so the first 2 digits are the transparency and the last 6 are the color. You can Google hex color codes to look up exactly what you want
Any option like this to change the height of navbar?
Nice find btw

You have to install "adb" in your computer and connect the phone to pc with usb cable. You can search for adb guides on Google for detailed steps. It is a general android topic and not S8 specific so you can find plenty of guides.

Wow thanks this must be it. I'll check it out.
Confirmed hex codes. I needed root to run in shell. Maybe not required for USB though.

So what are the best codes to use?
Is it possible to make it transparent using this method?

Transparency is possible by adding transparency value to beginning of hex number. It somewhat tricky to calculate because integers overflows and wraps around to negative values.
Formula is:
1. Add transparency value to beginning
2. Convert to decimal
3. Substract 4294967296 if it is greater than 2147483647
For example if you want color "34 bd 3c" and make it fully transparent you must prepend "ff" and the number becomes "ff 34 bd 3c". Convert it to decimal: 4281646396. Substract: 4281646396-4294967296=−13320900. So −13320900 is the value you want.

Anyone figured out how to achieve the same transparent navbar as it looks when it is set up on auto-hide? Black semi-transparent background and white buttons?
Thanks ?

You can just use the hex code without converting to decimal. I just made it white with ffffffff and black with ff000000.

Because am little confusing ,can please someone tell me whats the value for black color ?
Thank you .
Use your notch as a battery bar in this live wallpaper.
I need someone to test this app on the Essential Phone. So if you install the trial version on the phone, adjust the size and post a picture(not a screenshot), I will give away pro version codes for the first 3 people.
Trial - Play store link
Paid - customizable - Play store link
Looks pretty awful, since it's designed for wide notches and we only got a "drop" of a notch...
Width: 200
Height: 150
Used settings:
Width: 220
Height: 160
After applying size adjustments to app, nothing happens.. all I see is the wallpaper, and the app wants me to change 5he wallpaper as well?
This is a very creative app; appreciate the ongoing work for this ?
Please give me code too.
210x155
I tried your app with a bunch of different settings to try to get one that works well with this phone.
width 170
height 129
Seems to work best for me.
One issue I have with it is the angle of the slope.
Is there any way you could simply make the highlighting properly follow the curve of the notch for this phone, rather than spread out (thicker) at the top and around the bend (bottom). FYI: I could never see the color band below the notch (as shown in your video for other phones).
Also, there should be a way to visualize any changes you make rather than going pixel by pixel to try to get to the perfect setting for your phone. --> Hit apply. --> Hit back. --> Hit preview. --> Realizing you have to change it again and again. --> Hit back. --> Hit edit. Change #s. --> Repeat.
Simply too many steps.
My guess is that the average user takes 10-15 tries to get to the correct-ish numbers for their specific device.
Suggestion:
I know it's a lot of work with so many phones, but maybe a submission key / option so you can begin to collect preset ranges that people are using for the most common phones.
Question:
Is there any way to implement this so that it overlays when you are using another app. Right now, it only shows on the home screen (wallpaper only).
Because of this, I can't use muzei
If you can do this, I'll happily buy it.

Feel free to PM a code if these suggestions are useful.

You have to hit preview to see the changes.
Interesting app. I just previewed the trial. I need to play a bit with the sizing though. I'm a little disappointed this is a live wallpaper though. I'd like to use a different live wallpaper. Is there no way to use this as an overlay or something, even with root?
If you buy the app it let's you change the wallpaper

But I don't think you can use 2 LIVE wallpapers at the same time.

Yes, we cannot use 2 live wallpapers at the same time. And the wallpaper needs to be live otherwise it wont be able to update itself.
