Theme Generator for Win Mobile 2003 SE

Do you guys know any good theme generator that works well with landscape modes?
I used to use Ms theme generator but I believe its no longer compatible with Win Mobile 2003.
any suggestions?

Try the Thememaker Pro Plus SE by Kamware. Very good and easy to use. However not free

wat about a theme viewer?
i tried mtux themex but i dint like it. theme previews too small, and i believe its a little unstable

BVRP's Pocket Theme Manager 2
http://www.bvrp.com/ENG/products/pocketThemeManager/default.asp is quite good for creating themes &
gives a preview of how they look too but doesn't show landscape.
Also, the McDeb version of the Kamware software is easy to use although I haven't tried the latest version thoroughly yet.http://www.mcdeb.com/tmmcdeb/
I created the ones here http://www.irblinx.net/wmthemes.htm with Pocket Theme Manager 2

thanks irblinx! il try ur suggestions

i second that 8)

I've started using v4 of McDeb now, it seems pretty good but I'm struggling a bit with picking up the main image for portrait and landscape. It also seems to struggle with importing existing themes, the main image looks like it loses half of itself.

What about a thememaker for WM5.0? Do they exist yet?

yes...2k3se thememaker can be use to wm5...but some color is not accurate...

Both the ones I posted will work with WM5 but as xda2jojo points out, they haven't been optimised for use with WM5 so the colours aren't all mapped properly.
McDeb is supports VGA devices but I haven't got one so I' haven't tried it yet!

further testing with one tsk files...

the tsk file...

I thought I was going mad the first time it happened as some colours worked! Do you think this is due to the Xda II not really being a WM5 device? Has anyone tested a WM2003 theme on a real WM5 device?
McDeb apparently lets you change the colour of the highlight circle (i.e. tap and hold), which is nice.
Also I had some hit and miss results following the instruction on buzzdev for changing the dial pad, it doesn't seem to survive a soft reset.
I use Bong's dialpad maker on 2003se, maybe he could be persauded to add support for the extra parts added in WM5.

Maybe...

I'll give the hardcoded bit a try
I've had a good play with McDeb Thememaker 4now and it's pretty good for WM2003se themes, it handles landscape pretty well (although the preview has only ever worked once for me). At $18 it's a steal

Bizzarely, the landscape preview has now started working all the time! so hoorah, the "women" page on my themes site now includes landscape friendly themes!

Hi Folks,
would someone be so kind as to upload the Microsoft theme generator. when i download and install the file from MS it doesnt work properly, doesn't have options to move on from the first page( next or back which should be in the bottom left hand corner). I know there is other theme generators around but i havent seen one that works for SPB Pocket Plus extended theme generator, which is an add on for the MS theme generator.
Cheers

Added Windows Mobile 6 themes

I have been searching here for days. Is there anyone here who has more themes to windows mobile 6 than Windows Default and Windows Mobile Green? I would just like to add them and not have to reflash a different ROM. Thanks in advanced

drop them onto the storage card or \my documents or \windows\ ..check howardforums.com for TONS of themes made by one mike chadlwer guy ..i think thats his name they are nice as hell

Here are some

Here's a zip of around 20 different WM6 themes I've saved from different WM6 ROM's I've tried.

i have a couple of themes floating around on the Most beautiful thread i think, plus there are few others whove posted some more there aswell.
just a headsup, almost all of your wm5 theses should work just fine with wm6 aswell, unless it has black bars, wm6 will display em as grey, u can fix that by changing the basehue though...

anyone have the theme from T-Mobile WING?
(see attached pix)

it's default wm6 theme on your picture

Does anyone have this one, with the glossy bars... in a TSK file?

I thought the Crossbow.tsk was the right one, but I just tried it and it doesn't have the "glossy" bars. So I decided to take a stab at pulling the background from crossbow.tsk and merging it with BlueNeon Swirl.tsk. It appears to have worked (so my first .tsk hack )
Let me know if this works for you.

If you could only make it with white text...

Yeah I actually saw that. I'll change it later (working on 3 other things at the moment).

Take your time... I can't wait to try out Reloaded 1.7

no...it is not. If you look carefully. The default WM6 theme does not have swirl in it.

Ask, and thou shalt receive.

Love the T-Mobile Wing theme... Here's a screenshot for anyone wanting to see it:

Does anyone have a theme that uses the dark black colors in the Windows Media Player that comes with WM6? That would be awesome.

Does anybody have the AT&T theme? Thanks.

HTC Audio Manager OEM Package VGA version !!! FINAL !!!

Here it is the HTC Audio Manager from the HTC Touch in VGA (meaning: It works fullscreen on the HTC Universal)
version: final (no bugs so far)
Here you can download the OEM package
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/HTC_Touch_2_VGA/HTC_Audio_ManVGA_v3_OEM.rar
Thanks and greetings to deepred who is the hero of the day, because he showed me some missing bits in my thoughst about the resizing.

for some reason, the ftp speed is absolutely horrid.
about 4KBps (!!!)
when i finish downloading i'll try fixing the images (no promises though)...

dah, i forgot i had just formatted my computer and i don't have anything installed yet.
have you tried resizing with different resizing methods? (ie. percise billinear, bicubic....)

could you post it on say rapidshare (don't know if posting it here will be right)

Done.
http://rapidshare.com/files/37802131/HTC_Audio_ManVGA_v2_xda_WIP.rar.html

has you resized the images???
i downloaded the file from the rapidshare link....and i see png's which are 640x44 background is something like 480x514....
is this the right size or do i double this up?

no, its the same file ivan posted.
i couldn't resize it properly.
the app works, but the icons have a pink border around them, thats all.

I tried to resize them with irfanview (i know it isn't the smartest method, but i am not a very skilled person regarding image manipulation.
Oh and regarding the resizing, only thge images in the png_qvga folder need to be resized, all otherimages were resized correctly.

I think I did it. Run irfanview, press B (stands for batch), load files from png_qvga. Select new output directory, Work As: batch conversion, output format PNG, use advanced options checked. Then select following format options: save transparent color, compression level 6 (default). You can play with compression level, but 6 worked for me (pictures became smaller ~1KB). Advanced options: unselect everything except DPI, set it to 192.
P.S. Forgot to say, that it will ask you for transparent color. Select magenta on each picture.

Hm, pretty cool app. Much easier to handle with fingers than with stylus. I think it supports AVRPC, just tested with Nokia HS-12W. No song name, but buttons are fully functional.

Thanks i will try it.

Thanks to deepred it works now completely.
Upload location in the first post.

Nice work deepred.

Why does the palm tell me it's impossbile to open the file 'cause of certificate ?

OEM
Thank you Ivan!
Can you do the Java too?
Maybe thank you again

How can i install this? I tried to copy the files into Windows folder, but the app won´t start.
I´m using the Darkforce Rom in German.

CAB
I made a cab-file out of v3:
http://rapidshare.com/files/38129024/Audio-Manager.CAB
It works for me, I hope that it works by you too.

Unlocking the Wm6.1 sliding panel secrets

I did some digging and found out something about the sliding panels.
They are almost identical to Htc Juno Neo interface
They reside in HKLM/software/microsoft/CHome
The part that is responsible for the panels is this
<plugin clsid="{E9267CAB-02EE-4f37-8216-6BF6A8FF5A71}" name="Bronze" height="266">
<Plugins Order="CClock;CHome;CAppointments;CWelcomeCenter;CWindowsLive;Clinks;CMessage;Cmusic;CMyFaves;CMyphotos;CTestUIplugin;Settings" />
</plugin>
From top to down they are arranged in the order in the home.xml
From side to side they are arranged in the registry, at
HKLM/software/microsoft/CHome/<panel name>/Pages
They are arranged in a simillar format
eg(settings)rofile;Wireless;Ringtone;Background;Task.
There are a total of 12 panels but 3 of them doesn't do anything.
They are
CClock
CHome
CAppointments
CWelcomeCenter
CWindowsLive
CLinks - doesn't work
CMessage
CMusic
CMyFaves - doesn't work
CMyphotos
CTestUIplugin - doesn't work
Settings
Thats all i can dig up for now.

does wm6.1 homescreen work on wm6.0 ? maybe by copying some dll to wm6.0 . ?

Not just by copying and regist them... like any other plugin
i tried to build wm6.0 (based on RUU_Vox_HTC_GER_1.34.407.1) include CHome application/plugin and WelcomeCenter
i also added all needed Registry entry`s
the same problems as CHome version from s730 (tryied that 2 months ago)
i will not get it work
...(no time for that)

@Vener
nice finding...

/windows/bronzeres.dll
ther are the Icons for the slinding panel ... if someone wish to make a better looking homescreen, with other Icons
And I think to play on the RegConfig for the CWelcomeCenter, you can make it to a App-laucher bar ^^ ... I will test it tomorrow ... or soon

Some people are asking for the background pic i used so here it is.

Hi
Can you tell us how you reconfigured that "Getting Started" Slide for you own applications.
I think that others are very interested.
Thanks.
Chongie

you don't need to put icons in a dll. a simple .png will do.
for exemple :
"TEXT1"="Internet"
"PICTURES"="\Windows\61.png"
much easier

I have no experience in creating a CAB file.
I have created this by manually editing the registry and assigning images..
I am planning to write a sort of manual of how I created this application slide.
If somebody can make a CAB file with manual... By my guest.

[CHT1.8.X][MOD]Smaller "Unlocker" for HDMini Lockscreen [v0.91]

Hi guys, i love HD mini lockscreen but the bar for unlock is too big for me, so i made a new one little bit smaller!
I add "Unlock" and Arrow
Let's show it!
Before​
After
Version:
Icon:​
Text:​
Just arrow (without icon_text in attachement):​
​works for W/VGA​
For HD2 owners:
-Artemis, dutty, official ROM use CFC Uncompress
-Clean EX use CFC Compress
if you don't know, try CFC Uncompress and if it doesn't works, use CFC Compress (no need to uninstall previous version)
Next release:
-New version, with new colors and more contrast.... I'm just waitting cookie 1.8.1 to be sure on compatibility
Contribution by traianescu => Other Version
Contribution by rat_2665 => Colored notification
-A member (Father Ted) give me idea to use Dinik icon style (i will publish it after i ask it to Dinik!!)
-Next release will include Unlock bar with color!

Yeah, beacause it's a manila files, just put it on your \windows

nice, but my unlockbar is blank after installing this mod into the \windows dir!
any solution?

blanck? I control the files right now so! Do you soft reset?

Hi,
would you mind sharing your softkey bottom bar?
Thanks
Regards.

yes, soft-reset is done! blank, transparent, means no slider-background. only the icon shows up, where you can see the number of new messages!
rom: artemis 18.0 GER
manila-version: 2.5.20121412
system: 5.2.23571 (23571.5.5.0)
CHT 1.8.0

It's mine own creation and using (and inspired) GTX Theme files, so i can share the .png of my creation if you need
Or do a search on your \Windows of "SKBackground" iff you fide a file (and it's the currently) taskbar i share you my .png

thanks man, you made my day, but the unlocker is full transparent for me too maybe i like that...

sorry :/

I verify the files and it's okey... will make uncompress

don't worry, now it's ok, thanks man

Nice, the uncompressed version is working on Artemis v18.0 GER.
But one question: can you also release a version without the word "Unlock"? Perhaps simply with a Lock-Icon from standard Lockscreen? So it will be multilingual! ;-)

Cool, i'm happy to see thaht it work now!
@apple, good idea! i will work on it!
But now i'm going to sleep, bye all and sorry for the mistake!
