I am using 1.0 x-button on mUns latest. Just found out that it was the reason I couldn't load any Dialer skin... Is there an alternative?

There are lots. InClose, MagicButton, Wisbar Lite, SimpleMenu, etc... Most actually do a little more than just simple X-Button (but even X-Button 1.5 now tends to do more task manager type stuff too). I use Wisbar Lite as I like the abilty to soft reset from the menu (MagicButton does this too, but it does funny things to teh color of the top menu bar on WM6 themes).
Someone posted a link to another one just today that is supposed be really small and probably more like X-Button 1.0, but I don't remember the thread now it was mentioned.

Not the latest WM6 builds. Works fine for me (there have been two WM6 releases in the last month or so that specifically address color problems). Have you tried the latest versions?
using the reloaded 1.5 you created. using the stock theme on it, it's the graphite color, wisbar lite doesnt do it or something

Sorry, I wasn't clear. There are new versions of WisBar Lite specific for WM6 that correct the title bar color issues. Older versions turned part of the bar a deep red. New WisBar lite versions don't do that. I'm running WisBar Lite 1.1.0.13 for WM6.
oh, im using it too. but it doesnt use graphite blend, the close/ok button is like off centered a bit. If i knew how to screenshot, i'd show you what i mean
omg nvm. I didnt have 1.1.0.13, it jsut came out earlier today. I been waiting for this since last week when i found out. haha
Thanx downloaded found the needed info, installed and working fine....

Hi, I just installed Faria's CB rom and am loving it.
If any1 has tried Magic Button and SmartsKey on WM6, could you please share your experience? Are all WM5 apps compatible with WM6? Thanks.
Blokade
Faria's rom has Smartskey built in. It is in Start, Office mobile, mydocuments, extras. It also has HTC X button installed no need for magic button. Just look in settings, system.
How come i dont have that Extras folder on mine? I have the latest Faria ROM also
That's because it is located in program files (as mentioned in the rom description by faria).
All the WM5 apps I've tried seem to work just fine on WM6 (makes sense since WM6 is really not much different than WM5. Its not like a huge OS version change).
Personally I run Magic Button over HTC X close. I like the features of Magic Button better (with showing running apps icons in the top bar, and ability to soft reset and more from the Home menu icon).
Enjoy!
magic button works for me v2.5.1, never used anything else.

2.5.1??? Mine is 2.0 build 51023. I've never seen anything newer than that. Do you have a CAB or something you can post with a newer version?
Works fine for me, but the colors are a little weird. WM6 seems to use different color gradients or something, so it sticks out like a sore thumb. I still love it though.
Magic button
I was addicted to magic button, but wisbar advance made it obsolite. take a look what works for u.
smartskey is working perfectly, couldn't live without. there is a .ini file with settings, look for the how-to.doc somewhere. (or open the .ini in a text editor). I love to have made that prog
hey guys,
i know there are a bunch of threads out there already which deal with themes and tf3dconfig 0.6.7 and everything. but it seems like there's been quite a few issues with the original o2 ROM TF3D and the attempt to install the black htc theme.
I tried to use tf3dconfig 0.6.7 and use the diamond htc black theme here from the forum. The installation works quite alright, everything seems nice but the music player doesn't show the artist/genre/track/album horizontal menu and also is the list of applications black on black.
Maybe there are a few manila files missing or something?
I don't really want to flash my rom since there's only a beta out of the german romeos and i need a stable working phone - but the blue o2 theme is really ugly.
Are there any ideas out there what's going wrong and how to fix that problem? Or could you tell me which manila files have to be edited in order to see the custom menu bar in the music player and the black font color in the list of all applications?
I think this is also happening with the Vodafone Version of TF3D
Regards
Oli
Yes, I have the exact same problem as well with my Vodaphone Touch Pro, I've scouted through the forums for hours while at college and have not seen a solution for this, I'm guessing the only work around would be to flash the phone?
Same problem here. Have a MDA Vario IV (T-Mobile Version) and I have the same issue as you when installing the original theme.
I am searching for a solution for two days now and I haven't find anything yet.
I don't need the original HTC theme, I would be lucky with any "magentaless theme" that works.
I have found a working black theme, but it is on german.
for tf3d:

and for wm6.1:
http://rapidshare.com/files/131850418/Htc_black.zip.html
Now the colors are right, but I think tf3d is much slower now. I have already done all tweaks for optimizing the performance.
Is there any solution?
hey very cool!
but i think that version is older than my current one.
where'd you find that one?

I found it in this forum
http://www.ppc-phones.de/punforum/viewtopic.php?pid=56565
I installed the theme. It's not that slow that I can't use it but with the original T-Mobile theme TF3D was much faster.
well i installed it just now and it isn't slower than the o2 tf3d version really.
but if you go to settings -> connections this page appears still in blue in tf3d but i don't really mind that (i don't open that page too often since i have secondtoday)
do you know how i can change the dropdown background when i click on start in the upper left corner? cause that's still blue too
thanks
go to start - settings - today and there are the themes for wm6.1.
there you choose this file:
http://rapidshare.com/files/13185041...black.zip.html
(I copied it to the windowsfolder before selecting it in the settings)
with the t-mobile theme the first screen (the one with the clock) was there immediately when I switched to it on tf3d. now it needs half a second, but it is ok for me.
hi,
this rapidshare link doesn´t work.
any other link or solution? that blue o2 theme is soooo ugly
Hi , I'm interested if Manila 2D could run on vox ? does anyone do this ?
http://allshadow.com/forum/viewtopi...sid=c9e76578ff2e8ee41c5445a225aa61f4&start=10
I've tried 2 days ago....
how about that ? does it work perfect ?
Any screen shots mate???
well i just installed it up onto the rom of dr gonzo, working not too bad, except its showing 2 blank boxes instead of the battery and the time on the right top...
mmm I did not take any shots but they are the same as the screenshots u can see in themes topics apart ov the upper bar (the one with status icons, battery connections etc) and the bottom bar they remain in the color of ur scheme... I 'm using Fireburned WM6.0 NEO 1.1 ROM with default brown theme...so they were in brown... while the manila theme was the black one taken from the HTC DIAMOND----pretty ugly combined with brown bars...
Speed was comparable to the NEOPLUGIN and the WM 6.1 panels....
2 advices:
* when u are in manila interface and u press home key...u will return in ur windows default ennviroment...later manila will come back again...(i think there is something similar to a counter that refresh manila after a while)
* as previous said it happens sometimes that when u are doing something manila home interface comes on top...
yea i just realised the thing with the home button a bit annoying but i could live with it... the only thing are the white boxes
I didn't have white boxes at all, just the normal top bar...
When I Lock the phone , it is gone
I should call it back from task manager

Weather in Manila 2D
Today afternoon I have installed Manila 2D. Weather function was OK. Now I have reinstalled Manila 2D and weather function is KO. On screen with weather when I press the right button (menu) and select "1 Add location" or "3 Settings", nothing to happend. Only warning about download data for weather forecast is displayed. Which weather plugin I missed? Any solution for me?
Thanks.
And sorry for my very bad english ...
It doesn't really work here. The bottom bar is screwed up...
And it doesn't work in portrait - so it is no option for me.
have you installed the newer version of the manila or the one provided in the rar file? i had this as i just installed the one from the rar file before.
@ frauhottelmann: I had the same issue when installed just using the lastest release...
but after i followed shadowmike instructions HERE everything went well except for the 2 things I mentioned before.
I did follow the instruction, but it might be the ROM. I used a beta 'Rose' edition which I made the day before...
mmm very strange...i did not have the 2 white boxes issue and with the same rom Fireburned WM 6.0 NEO I experienced ur situation only with the 30 september manila released and with the same rom without hardresetting but just uninstalling previous manila...i had no problem following shodowmike's instructions..
boh?!?!
the top icons being boxes are from the 96dpi mod.
the samething happend to a hp ipaq user who was running 6.1 standard.
the bottom row of icons being messed up are from not installing the 96dpi mod.
also im updating the instruction at AS for the newest update of manila 2d
Hey guys, im actually really stumped on this one.. i cant seem to find any Task manager that works on WM6.5 for my Atom Life. I used to use WKTASK and Quickmenu but now i wanna keep the honeycomb cause it runs really smooth on this new build and WKTASK screws up everything to be honest lol. I'm just wondering if you guys have any solutions?
PS: I'm trying out pBAR 1.4 and its not that great on wm6.5.. not very finger friendly.
Isn't there one in WinMo 6.5 already?
Maybe try the HTC one from the Diamond, there's a topic somewhere with all HTC application download links.

What problems are you having with WK Task and Quick menu ? I used both with Josh's Kaiser roms, and both worked well.
Well WKTASK just seems to kill my start menu after maybe 3 or so minutes.. So as long as WKTASK is running, my WM6.5 Honeycomb startmenu OR the Quickmenu startmenu will not open. its weird really.. and im using chrisch's atom life wm6.5 ROM 21202. Also the HTC manager doesnt seem to do anything on my device... nothing at all.. it installs.. i can access the settings but it doesnt show up on the OS itself. so its pretty much useless at this point (ive tried different versions).
yeah, I have the same issue as well...
For wm6.5 the best task manager for me is the HTC task mananger (at least for now). It integrates well to the new interface of wm6.5

add \window\shell32.exe as an excluded app
colours are still messed up, hopefully the Wktask guys will update it to cope with the 6.5 theme system soon..
I have set all my colors to black in wktask and now it´s looking quite good.

TaskSwitch
I wan't to share the fastest alt+tab program i found (faster than SPB). It's freeware, don't know where i found it. Displaytime can be configured in registry.
I mapped it to single click on the start button, works perfect! (long hold shows startmenu)
The absolute best task manager app I've found is from FDC Soft. Here is the link.
Hey guys,
I'm looking for a tool for my Blackstone device which offers the ability of changing several theme related things. Like the color of a highlighted menu item and such. I've been searching the forum and even tormenting google half the day but can't seem to find anything that comes even close. -.- Does anybody know of such a tool?

I use april 8th EnergyROM build 23554 with GTX themed cookiemonster's home tab.
Moved as not software release.
Well, there are mainly two different components which can be skinned, one is Manila and everything else from HTC, the other is WM 6.5 itself, which can be controlled by a compatible theme like mine.

This is exactly right. To change the colours in Manila, you can use Mode9 editor or manila editor. To change the colours of WM, you can use UI Tweaker or Pocket Theme Editor.
Thank you guys. It's mainly the system menus I want to modify, so I'll give Pocket Theme Editor a shot.
