Main splash(es) I made (not effected by hard boots/flashes..ect)
First one shows briefly, then the second one shows ipl/spl ect..

Take your pic!!
damn, I got to have this one. Its so clean and professional looking. Like eye candy for me at least. Could you post a cab?
Just right click, save image as Welcomehead.96.png and replace the one in your /windows directory..
@envmyz
man you have talent! can you make some nice picture that will look nice on today screen with htc homeplug?
It's actually hard to create decent looking backgrounds with the touch today plugin, It blocks alot of the background.
This is what I have to go along with splash screens above.

Hey envmyz, would it be possible to get that background you created? Its really nice and clean and I want to use it on both my Wizard and my Hermes.
Cheers
Same to me! Great work. I want this to please.
Sure thing, glad everyone likes my work

Go install a free copy of GIMP for Windows. Isn't the most friendly program but works great when you figure it out. Easily lets you convert files between different graphic formats just by opening it, and then doing a save as and changing the extension. It will do the necessary conversions for you (changing to index, removing transparency, etc based on what the new format does or doesn't support).

Cool, thanks! Downloading it to try it out now
Hey guys, I get the problem that if I slide out my keyboard and the screen rotates, the background doesnt strech all the way over the screen, but I get one and a half backgrounds next to each other. This of course looks pretty crappy. Do more people have this problem, am I doing something wrong of is the file not set up to handle landscape mode of the device?
Something else, does anybody know if you can get a background file out of a theme (.tsk)? I've got a theme with a really nice background, but the rest of the theme sucks. I now want to use the standard WM6 theme with this background, but is there any way to retrieve this from the theme file?

The reason it doesn't stretch is because these graphics are 240x320. You need either a 320x320 so that it will work in both portrait and landscape or both a 240x320 and a 320x240 version.
As for extracting the background, yes its easy... A .tsk is the same as a .cab, so use a tool to open it (cabwuz, or there is a free cab tool inside the core kitchen). In there you will find the stwater (and possibly tdywater) bitmap files. These are the backgrounds...

SKIN FILES
that is hi-res glass minimalistic VGA skin with files..If you have WisBar then unzip all files and copy them in Program Files\Lakeridge\Wisbar\Themes...tsk file copy into Windows directory,and in Today screen choose bista theme as default..Then go to Wisbar and select bista as default..and that is it...I have allready optimized sounds and images so if you want to change again to anything...help yourself...I have to notice that this is extreeme variation of bista,optimized for speed and design..I have another one...black...everyone can make a skin..but I choose to deducate my free time for tiny little design upgrades and modifications.
What version of WA2 are you using, or did you do anything special to install?
Every time I try to install, whether via desktop or CAB... I crash.
Oh, and also: It looks like you are running with NO Today plug-ins... is that correct? I assume you are doing so to maximize free program mem?
Thanks,

correct ! today plugins are just "unneccessery additive"..so in skins and themes I decide to rearrange everything for minimalistic "speed-way". So I do not have any "freezings" or sort of that problems...

even the player looks like it always should be..

you need to unzip files first!..in some folder..then that folder copy into your device into folder..I am using Wisbar Advance 2 and nothing else..try again...unzip file and copy it into devices program file of your skinning application.. I think that some of our themes should be incorporated into Universal 6 to stay away from Windows Mobile "retro programming"...I think it is only a matter of time when some mobile device producer will choose to incorporate some ROM from here into their devices and products...That will be the best award to all our xda developer team who are working so much...Respect to all of them...

i really like this wisbar theme, i always loved the original wisbar on my xda11i but have never really liked the new version,
the only downside is, i mainly use my pda in landscape mode, is there any way to stop the start menu icon doubling up like it does? and its a shame the wallpaper doesnt match when in that mode, also how have u got that shutdown button down at the bottom?

really nice skin. Looking foward to testing it out. thanks
wow that is really impressive, nice work on that.
-edit- no, all okay
... and suggestions welcome about the progress bar, im still not satisfied
Looks good
Y E S !
(grey this blue out)
k,wheres Paint...
Nice Skin, but does it support landscape view
landscape not yet ... will see
...and strange, for me still something wrong with the code right now not showing video, ill fix tomorrow...
Love the skin, looks great
Nice skin About the progress bar i would make the triangle a little smaller and bring it down a touch excuse the pun. Try the triangle in grey or black as well - keep up the good work.
On second thought a blue rectangle - longitudinal would also be good to match the blue background. Also perhaps a faint grey groove would look better than the white line. These skins are not as easy as they look, done some myself in the past so i can appreciate it.
thnx for comments
ill during the day redisign the surface a lil, correct and change something in graphics
also landscape is sure in my mind
the slider is a lil uninspired - im thinking about different places to put or alternative appearance, and im thinking about how to keep him usable with fingertouch or not as ff and rw is also possible by d-pad
about the blue color... its given by design of htc touch, i also removed in that dialpad the gray effect on last-call screen to keep design clear
will see how far ill go today )
Try a basic landscape first - in my experience media player does not change skin automatically in landscape mode except the default skin. You have to goto landscape view first then change the skin. It will only work on auto if you overwrite default skin in \windows. Most skins i have seen do not include landscape view because of this. Prove me wrong if you can Just thought i might save you alot of work.
yes ive allready seen - had to search and apply skin in landscape mode again, after itl be changed automatically... well i was wondering how to write a skinfile wm will apply for both views by itself, good to know it wont work
no landscape today.... am working on graphic changes
...so far:

Unzip HTCMenus.zip and copy HTCMenus.bmp to the /windows folder.

Just delete HTCMenus.bmp, soft-reset and Windows will do the rest

How about your top task bar (vista looking) : where and how did you get this !?
I love this, it looks really great!
Is it possible that you could make a complete replacement of all the green colored menus to this black one?

I'm sorry I was on holiday so I couldn't answer your question. The reason for your problem, is that you probably have another menu installed. It could be the rhodium or the tachi version. I've made a skin for them too: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=535351
Good luck!
Might be worth looking at a post I started back in June

Alternatively Max TF3d Application lets you change the menus quite easily and conveniently without having to worry about a hard reset. cant find the link but if you search the forum it will turn up
But that's for manila, I made this to work with the menus in windows.
Nevertheless I haven't tried that tool but it sounds good.
I use cfc gui for tf3d sknning, it works very good.
Thanks for you post.
Hi all! In this thread you can ask me to make any custom graphics you want for manila.
I can also modify taskbars and WM themes.
Please post screenshots and point what you want to change, because sometimes it is difficult to understand what you are writing about.
I don't allow you to post my work on other sites (especially on 4pda.ru) or use it in your own mods.
And don't post your work in this thread. If you want to do this - ask my permission.

It's very stable and I tried it on manila versions from 2012 to 2018.
I made this theme 6 months ago and since then I am developing it. So I think you will enjoy it.
Theme contains more than 1000 graphical files. I took some graphics from android taskbar (Dark Ninja's) and slider is based on blackslide.cab (found on xda, sorry, but I don't remember the author), all other graphics were made by myself.
Warning - don't post this theme or parts of it on other sites.
Installation: Turn off manila and install cab for your CHT version (if you use it) and than install main cab

thanx fear, thats really nice of you. i'll have a think. i would LOVE a naruto theme so much! just a question of how best to implement the idea. on page 718+ of the leo today screen post people are discussing changing the mail background on the email tab ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=582619&page=720 ).would you be able to make a naruto style scroll to put in that place please? i've attached 2 images as reference. that alone would make a huge difference towards making the phone look naruto themed.

People, am sorry, but no themes. to make a theme, you need to change 1000 graphical files - I made only 1 theme and it was horrible.
Any manila changes - you are welcome, but full theme - too much work.
hi fear
i'd like to have a background for the sms tab.
i could be an envelope like in the email tab, or just a black/grey shape like in calendar tab. it's the only tab because of i cant use bright background images...
i'm on manila 2.5.20121412 xannytech 2.3..
is this possible?
ok

hi fear. if you aren't busy and its not too much work would you be able to turn this into a mail background for me? just to have a look. this is the kind of thing i had in mind.
also if anyone likes it and feels like tidying it up that'd be amazing - i made it with ms paint so its pretty poor! any naruto fans out there feel free to use it too obv.
thanx in advance.

edit: also made these scrolls to use with cht as a softkey bar. its just another paint job, but it looks ok(ish). help yourselves
(i hope you dont mind fear, i know this is your thread. i'll remove this post again if you want me to)
finished. OK?
ps. I post default manila graphic - you can modify it.
cooooooool. thanx fear, you're a legend! that looks great. i hope i didnt seem ungrateful for your first one. i really am and it looks fantastic. just had an idea in mind and thought i'd experiment a little since you've so kindly offered to help people out. i'd love to be able to do it myself though.
but how does it work? i cant open the manila file with any of my image editors. i thought they are meant to be png format?
if its very complicated and you dont have time to explain please just post a cab for the background i sent, my painting isnt perfect, but i'd be VERY happy with it.
thanx again. d
D_Mon88
put this file in folder "windows" and enjoy
ps. or install cab
thankyou so much. i meant editing, but dont worry about it, i'll do some research and figure it out. have a nice evening
D_Mon88
to edit you need to use special program. You can modify this .png and post it hear and I will make it suitable for manila.
First of all much respect and big thanks.
I posted my shortcuts screen and the CAB I'm using for the frames.
My problem is: when I use bright wallpapers the shurtcuts have a black background. I'd like to have this black square removed.
It would be great if you could make this possible.
Thank you in advance.
aha ok, i see what you meant now. thankyou, thats very nice of you. if it doesnt bother you i might give it another try soon. things dont quite line up on this one because i used a tape measure on the screen and tried to calculate the pixel dimensions and ratios.lol. still, im very happy for now. thanx again

this is the white version with a little photoshop editing you should pretty easily be able to get a PSD template to use to make your own in what ever color you want. If you truly dont know how to do this let me know and i will make you one real quick to make it easy to do your own
Nice, thank you.
I see they aren't standard android apps tho =(
I'll browse and see what I come up with. I appreciate the link !
**edit**
Yes, any help you can give would be great, I have never made icons and don't have any software for it. I'd like to give it a go tho so I can make some android icons out of these.
I made a quick Photoshop Template. I believe you can open it in GIMP as well (a free image editing software) You should be able to use it to create this effect simply by using the top layer template to make a selecting of the filled in area and then deleting that selection on the icon you want to use. This may seem confusing if you dont have a lot of experience but its pretty simple. I put 2 examples in it as well. Just remember to always save it as a .png if you want it to be an icon and keep the clear background.
If you still have problems PM me and i will try to write out a more in depth tutorial ( i use photoshop personally so I may have to download gimp and play around to get specific)

No problem If those are the only two you want and dont figure it out I can just make them for you. I think you should try first as a good way to learn if you are interested in making icons in the future makes a great starting point for you.
Good Luck with it!

Yea, I'm playing with it now... prolly gonna take a while to figure it out lol.
I tried to save the pandora icon you sent but it became blurry and didn't look right for some reason
Would you mind making those 2 for me while I play with this? I'll just use yours in my set and try to figure out how to work gimp with them as well.
Where did it become blurry. I resized the img to 72 x 72 pixels which is the standard icon size so it is possible it looks blurry when blown up but should look fine as an icon on your phone. I will work on those 2 and get you them in a minute

I was playing with it in gimp, and I done something to mess it up. Just not sure what it was I did lol
ah well its all part of learning just dont save the PSD file while it is messed up. See attached for 2 different Gmails, a Maps and the pandora one. Sorry took so long am at work and had to finish something up. I also threw in the PSD with these new icons saved inside it as well as more examples.
Enjoy

Excellent, they look great! They should work quite well for me. If I can return the favor, just give me a shout!
Thank you

I agree, they look really good on the phone up against the right kind of wallpaper.
I use ADW ex and delete the app name so it only shows the icon, works for me. I'll try to figure out how to make a full set, but this Gimp program is funky for me. =p
