Relocating theme (*.tsk) files

Before I start - please note that I've spent a LOT of hours searching the forum (and the web) for a solution to this. If this has been covered already, I couldn't find it.
I've made a large collection of themes over the last couple of months playing with Theme Generator.
I know that I can store them in either My Documents or the windows directory ... but frankly I'd rather store them in their own location - it would make it a lot easier. Preferably on a storage card, but I can live without that if necessary.
I've tried numerous 'theme management' utilities (theme dream, theme changer, theme switch, Kaisoft's Today Theme Changer, and others I can't think of at the moment) and I've found that they either don't work or they come with so much cruft and bloat that they are a significant waste of space. I have no interest in animated themes, or previewing the themes before I select them (I made them ... I know what they look like )
What I want is to be able to create a directory (of my choice), stick all my .tsk files in there and access them from that dir either using the built in Today screen theme picker or a simple menu.
I crawled through the registry and found HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Sofware\Microsoft\Today\Skin which stores what the current theme is. Using mortscript I have written a script which permits me to change the value assigned to that key to another value. Of course it doesn't cause the Today theme to be changed, but it does let me specify a different directory.
And so to the question:
Can anyone recommend simple, bloat-free, theme manager which will let me store my themes where I want and change them easily?
OR
Can anyone help me do it via mortscript (or any other general purpose utility)?
BTW - I'm running WM 2003 as best as I can tell.
Thanks

i think it search for themes recursively
if it dont it would not work with all my tsk files being
located in my documents\skins
and it works just fine for me

RPA ThemeMaster is small, simple and can be set to any folder you like. It can do auto rotate after a specified time duration and can be set to random etc.
WM2003 cannot see other folders by default when looking for themes.

I've just moved my themes to a sub dir of my documents and they are showing up, so thanks for that mate. It's not quite what I want ... but it's a vast improvement

What a shame!
Works fine in the Main memory "My Documents" folder but not on a storage card "My Documents" folder.
I wonder if there's a way around that?

Font Size

Are there any people also annoyed like me by the large default fontsize ?
I was used to Tytn small font in email, now the smallest setting on Vox is normal, which is too large for me.
Any solution or registry change possible for this ?

The CSS file is from ROM and is write protected. How to rewrite / edit it?

I used Total Commander.

You can also transfer the css via Active Sync to the PC. Then remove the write protection and edit the file. Then save it to a different folder and copy it back to the device. That worked fine for me.

How did you get Total Commander to let you do this? I've been trying and had no luck so far. I've copied the file to a different directory on the phone and the PC, but I'm not having any luck overwriting the original file.
This is on the Cavalier though, but it shouldn't be any different.
Any help would be appreciated

Hi, In Total Commander you can switch into 2 window mode. You can copy and overwrite the css files from one windows to another. Similar as on PC.

Thanks, but I've tried that.
* I have the new CSS on my memory card.
* Have teh second window set to \Windows
* Select the new css file and go file-copy
* the "copy/move " window comes up and I hit OK
* conirmation window "overwrite: \windows\... with \storage card\..." and I hit "Overwrite"
* "Confirm" windows pops up saying "Cannot ccopy or move file!"
Is there anything I should have done first?

Do you have your Mail application switched off? Look at Task manager. Or turn Off/On phone and try it to copy again.

I've tried that, and still no go. So I need to make some security change?

Has anyone tried playing with the HTML templates to change the look entirely?

nice
Hi everyone nice tip!!!! But I have 2 question:
if u please post all the read_style files in windows cause I edited everything and I have sone problems.
Second question:
I see the 7pt in sms and email inbox but when I write a sms the font remains bigger than 7 is it possible to change the font when I write a new sms too? Thanx!

pict
here itis the problem

This font hacks look great. Does anyone know how to shrink the fonts being used in the message list view and the folder lists? I find I can only see 4 message headers at a time on Wm6 / Q9.. Horrible use of space. Same with folders list, font is massive. I'm assuming it is one of the dozens of .css files in that windows directory.

@zipreddictive: ... edit the compose_style.(langcode).css ...
@tommytuna: ... it's impossible ... or you found a developer to write a new app for this

Hi - I edited the compose style and now the new message fonts look good to. Still can't figure out how to get the message list to tighten up. Argghh.. So useless with 4 messages at a time when you can easily get 6-7 with tightening up that screen.

Hey all,
I thing UC is great, but I have gotten to prefer the Tiered Autoinstaller that allows me to pick and choose my CABs to install.
I have taken Tiermann's cool app and packaged it for a non-cooked in audience. Add it to your favorite ROMs to quickly pick and choose all your CABs to install.

OK so THIS is a big step forward for the crazy flasher that lies in us.
Time saving, simple, perfect.
Very convenient to use (especially because I already have my CAB collection on my storage card in a folder named CAB...)

Choice between Device and SD Card
Hello Bengalih,
is it possible that when i use the TierAutomatic Installer that i have the choise between the Telefon Memory or the Storage Card where the Programm has to be installed ?
I like to install the most of my Programms to the storage card to keep the Memory of the Phone free for the running Programms.
Or doesn´t this make sense ?
Greetings from germany
Jürgen

oooh great!

Awesome THANK YOU!
but 1 question/request
I have my cab directory sorted by different directories, is there a way to checkbox an entire directory? instead of adding each cab in config.sys?
i have directories like
\Storage Card\Games
\Storage Card\Tweaking
\Storage Card\System Tools
\Storage Card\Multimedia
etc. so it would be awesome to just check the entire directory to save overview

Awesome work dude - been looking for an installer like this that runs perfectly on non-UC compliant ROMs! This works flawlessly - thanks!!!!

Is it also possible to install the cabs on the storage card? i dont want my games on my device but on my storage card...

change the default installation directory to your storage card using WinCE cab manager.

The Tiered Auto Installer works by using a built-in copy of Autorun. Since Autorun doesn't allow any user interaction, it is not possible to "choose" what location you want to install.
However, you can use a CAB editor tool to open up your .CAB, and change the default installation directory to "\Storage Card".
WinCE CAB Manager can do it with the trial version.

Thx for the answer
Thx for the answer. I will try the WinCE cab manager

Yes you can do this...with a little elbow grease:
From the TAutoInstall page...
It will find all cab files referenced in the config.txt as well as those found in \Windows, \Storage Card\Boot, \Storage Card, \Extended_ROM, and \Extended_ROM2.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Note that the config.txt should be located in the same directory as TAutoInstall, which in my package is \Windows. I have found that if TAutoInstall is installed in another location with a space in the name (e.g. \Storage Card or \Program Files) that it won't function properly).
In addition the following quote:
Note: The default search directories can be overridden by a command line.
TAutoinstall.exe "\SomePath\folder1" "\SomeOtherPath\Folder2"
You can have up to 10 search paths.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In fact, this is the magic of how my packager is working. I have created a shortcut to run TAutoInstall with specific search directories, in this case \Storage Card\Cabs.
NOTE: When you specify directories on the command line it no longer checks the default directories listed above, but it will still check the config.txt file.
Unfortunately it doesn't check recursively, but you can have up to 10 paths. So, to do what you ask you will need to edit my .lnk file:
You need to open the .lnk file in a text editor.
You can copy the \Program Files\TAInstall\TAInstall.lnk to your PC via activesync.
Open it in WORDPAD, not NOTEPAD as it doesn't save them properly.
You will see my syntax:
47#"\Windows\TAutoinstall.exe" "Storage Card\Cabs"
Note the format, specifically the quotes and the number at the beginning. The number is the number of characters in the string minus anything before and including the #. So in the above link there are 50 characters minus 3 (47#). You can modify the shortcut for up to 10 paths, like so:
122#"\Windows\TAutoinstall.exe" "Storage Card\Cabs" "Storage Card\Cabs\Sub1" "Storage Card\Cabs\Sub2" "Storage Card\Cabs\Sub3"
Note that I updated the number to reflect the number of characters in the string minus 4 (122#).
I have not tested it with more than one path, but it should work. I also don't know if there are any limitations as to the maximum length of a shortcut, perhaps a developer would know.
Once you've edited it, copy TAInstall.lnk back to \Program Files\TAInstall\ and you should be good to go. If you have a problem, make sure that the shortcut is being save properly by your text editor. Remove everything you added and re-save and see if the .lnk file still works. If not, then you're text editor probably mangled it.
I would then make a backup copy of the lnk so you won't need to do it all over again.

simple 3-row Mortscript
another "solution" without UC could be a simple mortscript in the cab-directory:
It's not "unattended", but it will do the the job...and you can select the install directory....
ForEach CAB in files (Systempath("ScriptPath")&"\*.cab")
RunWait (%CAB%)
EndForEach

Peter, could you be a bit more step by step with that, maybe putting it into a code box?
I get it, I can read it, I don't know what a "mort-script" in the "cab-directory" would look like (text file?) and where exactly it would go.
Thanks for this thread, guys!

just create a text file on your desktop computer and save it with the .mscr file-extension.
then copy this file including the mortscript.exe to your "cab" directory on your mobile machine. that's it
the "cab directory" is just the directory where you save these two files and all your cabs....
but as i said - this script will just call all setups, all necessary informations are manually - it's just like you click each
cab file seperately in file explorer...
attached you'll find my installer (sorry, the language is in german (NO, i'm NOT german, i'm from South-Liechtenstein )
and it'll write a registry key how many times you've started this script....the first time there is no message, if you run this
script more than once, there is a counter and it will remind you how many times you've started this script... (yeah, i like such things....)
i like the fact that i absolutely know what this script is doing, i can easily choose between storage and memory and if i want to
cancel a setup it's no problem
edit: english script (including mortscript exe is uploaded...hope that helps)

Thanks Peter!! That should really help.
UC is good, but there are so many differences between ROMs that you're always editing the text file and thus prone to making it error out. Not to mention, the Lock/Unlock BS.

I've been using Tier Autoinstall in my ROMs for awhile. Even have a cab for non-cooked installation that puts a shortcut in the same place you do?!? funny how great minds think alike . I'll update this post to put in the link to the wiki about it (once the wiki is back up).

Hey welcome back _Alex_, I thought you were movin' on.
Yes, I actually discovered the Tiered AutoInstall first in your ROM I believe. I know you have a stand-alone UC (which I link on the front page), but never saw a stand-alone Tiered from you.
Although I like the check-box effect to install cabs, the current version of Tiered AutoInstaller (and thus my stand-alone version) is a little too limited for all but automated installs.
If you guys like, please check out my new VIP+bengalih RAW AutoInstaller. Fully MortScript based with quite a few more features!

File Explorer Problem - Too Slow

Hi all,
When I use File Explorer to open the Windows folder in my Touch Cruise, it took very, very friggin' long time to load all the files. Is this normal and is there anyway to solve this?
I need to open the Windows folder so I can put themes file .tsk in it. My PC's Vista's Autosync can not access this folder on desktop.
Pls help.
Thanks.

try total commander, it's much faster

For me too windows folder very slow,
in default explorer and in resco explorer same slowness
But i think its ok cause windows folder have about 4000 files and now manila2d adds about 450 files so it takes time for explorer to read them all and to show all files info
*in resco explorer there is option "send to" for any file so i configure "send to windows" and i click any file and can send to windows folder without opening it, and resco can even overwrite read only and rom files - its my solution for this problem, before i found resco i preferred to not accessing windows folder at all....
and themes can be stored in my documents folder or sd card its not important where to put .tsk themes

But if theme files stored in My Documents or SD card, they won't be listed in Settings/Today/Themes. Only if they reside in Windows folder they will appear there. Pls confirm if I miss anything.

I may be wrong, but try clearing out the errors and duplicates in your notifications queue. Doing so helped my file explorer speed a gread deal when browsing the windows folder. It went from something along probably 30seconds or so to 7 seconds.

Hi,
I'm suffering from the same problem. Listing the Windows directory takes about 40s. It used to take about 4s before instalation of Manila 2D. I've uninstalled Manila but the problem persists. I haven't noticed any left file nor missing free space on the flash or functionality, everything seems to be back as before but the Windows directory still takes about 40s to list and therefore the whole system is slowed down.
Could you please specify how to clear notification queue?
Or any other idea what can be wrong?
Could this be a filesystem problem? As I noticed the same behaviour with any application which installs to the Windows directory, the only difference is the amount of seconds which it adds
Thank You.
EDIT: I've already cleared notification queue but it didn't helped at all. Still looking for a solution.

Internet Shortcut Tabs

Is there a way to refresh the internet shortcut tabs so that they will show current web pages??? Also one of my pages didn't load all the way so my Internet Shortcut tab has a half loaded page on it...This is ridiculous!!!

Nevermind
I figured it out! Go to \Windows\Thumbnails and delete them all. Then reload your webpage once you have a 3G Connection... Plus it would help if I upgraded to Opera 10

Hi, it sounds like you have found a solution to your problem; however, I thought I would let you know that you can create your own images for the internedt tab thumbnails. Rather than have a mini-screenshot type thing that is currently there simply make an icon (in PhotoShop, Fireworks, Corel or whatever your preferred image editing app is).
To implement this, do as follows:
*Copy the PNG files from the Windows/Thumbnails directory to your PC.
*Open each in your image editing software.
*The current size is not really necessary and can make for a larger file size. Reduce the canvas down to 128x128 (this seems to produce a reasonable image without too much resolution loss).
*Create your icon/preferred thumbnail image.
*Save as PNG8 (with alpha transperancy if you want a transparent background). PNG8 will keep your filesize down.
*Remember when you save to keep the same filename. It should be a long string of numbers and letters.
*Copy your new files back to your device Windows/Thumbnails directory.
*Voila! New thumbnails, no mini screenshots.
The reason you want to keep your file sizes down is so that there is no lag time when you get to the internet tab. If you have large files, it takes a minute for the tab to load the thumbnails.

Perhaps you can answer this for me

Something happened when I deleted my cache files and my thumbnails. I tried placing several internet tabs back but they will not load. Netflix, CNN, ESPN..etc..etc... the only ones that show up in the internet tabs favorites are new pages/favorites that I have not added or been to before.

Having exactly the same problem. Looking for a fix.
Thanks.

Do either of you have the original PNG file names?
I am unsure whether Windows or Manila creates a random number for the file name when a new thumbnail is produced. I suspect this may be the case.
If the file names tend to be the same then I can send you some of mine to test.
I have attached an images of my thumbnails and file names. Perhaps this will help. I'm happy to share the files if it will be of assistance; however, I suspect that the file names may not be the same as yours.
Do you have any files in the folder:

If you do, and you are happy to send them to me (with the name of the site they link too), then I am more than happy to create some thumbnails for your and roll them all into an easy to install cab

Thanks,
Yes, I have files in the Windows\Thumbnails folder, but only the new once that I create.
When I recreate a quick link that was used in the past (CNN….) No Thumbnails is created in the Windows\Thumbnails folder.

I think this might be what you are looking for:
Update thumbnail images of shortcuts on the Sense 2.5 internet tab
If you want those images to change to the actual picture of the site when you open them, instead of the old picture of what the site looked like when you first opened it, change this registry key: HKLM/SOFTWARE/HTC/VisualBookmark/UpdateOnce to 0 instead of 1.

Hi
Here you go, I have made the attached thumbnails for you (using your original filenames).
I have included an image showing the new thumbnails and associated filenames.
All you need to do is copy and paste the files into 'device/windows/thumbnail' folder using Resco, Total Commander or similar. Overwrite the files that are currently in the folder.
That's it! It's done!
Go have a look at our internet tab and you will find the new thumbnails are displayed.
Note: I have a copy of your original files as a backup.

Ok, I never had this problem until now and I've done this countless times. My custom Youtube shortcut reverts back to the default thumbnail when I click on it. The others shortcuts are fine. Something like this can drive me nuts kinda...Any ideas guys? Thanks.
Edit: The problem has affected all the shortcuts.

I had the same problem - after deleting the thumbnails I couldn't get them back. New shortcuts to new URL's worked, but everything else just gave the globe.
The solution that worked for me was to delete vb.vol in \windows (I stumbled across this after reading the "Manual Backup Stuff - Manila/Sense Internet Tab Shortcuts" section of http //whirlpool.net.au/wiki/htc_hd2_backup )
Don't have a solution for auto-updating the thumbnails, though
