Hi guys,
I flashed to the new WM6 ROM, looks gr8, but when I try to change the theme (.tsk) to other themes that I used to have on WM5, the background image does not update...
so is WM6 incompatible with WM5 themes??? I did not install any version of XButton in my ROM...
Whenever I update my theme, I get the HTC default background image but theme colors update correctly...
what is this? any solution?
I have exactly the same problem and anybody knows how can i fix it but i hope that the people of xda can help us
Greetings, Diego!!!
First do this test pls
Hi,
can you install this skin pack Here
if the background dos not change maby you have to change to a difrent rom (i recomend XDA2a)
Greets Antonius
I will try this, but switching to a different rom is not that easy, I spent much time personalizing things on my PPC.. I will be sad if that would be the only solution
EDIT: it did not work and I am really bored solving problems with WM6,, any solution here?
Shut off htc xbutton (settings, system task)
Change theme
Then turn it on.
Did you try installing your .tsk files to the root of your SD card instead of to the windows folder?

What do you mean? I have nearly 250 .tsk files on mine (don't ask, when I get bored I make about 5 new ones, and I get bored a lot) and every one of them work.

Okay, I'm having problems tracking down which process is X-Button to kill it - what's the process name?
Ok i turned of X-Button and restarted my wiz, and then i changed the theme, nothing happened. I don't understand when i load the cab it doesn't extract properly or what.... the start menu that pops down when you click on start seems to get the theme loaded right but the background picture it loads to Default black. i dont understand what is blocking it....
all i can say is LOL

This is a known problem when using X-button. Either find the latest version of X-button (1.51 or something similar). Or go to start>settings>system>X-button and uncheck the boxes that says "enable X-button to end programs..."
If you do not have X-button installed, Then try changing your theme, waiting a few minutes and then soft-reset.
Nothin was right about themegence being the best freeware theme maker. I've used it to make every one of mine. If you go to MoDaCo to the Pocket PC Today Screens QVGA in the downloads section I have 30 or 40 of them in there that I've made. I'm going to have to check out where you guys are downloading yours from and see if I can figure out why they aren't working. Usually, at least the ones I've seen, you don't install them from a cab file. They're usually just zipped or a straight tsk file that you put straight in to either the windows folder or in the root folder of you sd card.
Well, I figured that out pretty quick. If you guys are all downloading them from pocketpcthemes.com, they are not working because the wallpaper part of it is not in the right format to fit a wizard. The images are too big so it's not using them, instead it's using the default wallpaper instead. Try downloading from the MoDaCo downloads section that I mentioned in the post just above this one, they should all work. I know that the one's that I made and mandt made will work for sure. I'll try uploading a bunch more there within the next day or 2 also. If there's any at that pocketpcthemes site that you really have to have, I could probably fix a few of them so they will work if you let me know which ones they are.
@xeno
what program do you use... I used them gence to gen my theme and it dint work
edit: I downloaded the themes from modaco, n they all work great. even w/ x-button. omg u r best xeno. but tell us wut u use to make theme so we can make too.
now what is the difference between PocketPCThemes tsk files and ModaCo tsk files?

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.

Right here it is. Geez, how did I end up with all of the mfr. themes?
These themes are breathtaking. Very good. Found em on the net. Thought I'd Share.
You need Macromedia Flash Player 6.0 -- v7.0 will Not Work!
Run the .exe file from your computer while Activesynced to your phone. Then copy and paste the remaining .tsk files to your windows folder thru Activesync. Open Today screen settings and check them all out. Really Professionally done.
Total of 9 Themes -- They'll all show up in your Today Screen Settings.
They work great on the T-Mobile Wing but should work fine on most other Pocket PC Phones.
Enjoy !!!!
It didn't seem to work on the Cingular 8525 with WM5. I haven't gotten up enough courage to start upgrading.
Works great on my wizard.
Thanks
how can you make it visible on the hole screen instead of only the lower part of screen??
Cheers, Steven
works on my blueangel. one question, how do we change the animation? mine always shows up a plane. and there were a lot of .tsk's that i copied to my phone yet i cant use those.

Thats the problem with Flash Player 7. You need to install Flash Player 6.

Just go to settings/today screen. They should all be there. Click on the one you want and it will change for you. there are some really nice ones. Just make sure you put all the .tsk files in the windows folder on the phone. Reboot.

Oh I think I know what you mean. If you move the program up in Today settings it will animate the top. On bottom it will animate bottom. The other half it reserves for Date, Clock or other plug ins you have on the Today screen.
hi guys.
anyone knows a good site to download some other good backgrounds this program compatible?
tnx

I would if I had it. All I've got is the .exe file. Got it off Macromedia's web site. If some can extract the cab and post it, it would be helpful.

Hello. I like this thing. but why only the top of the screen is animation? and only these nine themes to good?
Hi,
Sorry if this is a question that's been asked before but I can't seem to find it by searching.
I recently installed the mod that allows you to put your wallpaper on all the manila tabs (mUn BackGround4AllPages v.02.cab), but since doing it I've noticed that a border remains at the top of each tab and my wallpaper is cut-off by it.
On my home tab, it doesn't look too bad as the date is shown in this border. Similarly in the music tab it looks kind of intentional as the shuffle and repeat icons are in there. But it looks awful on most other tabs - screenshots below!
Is this to do with the wallpaper mod I installed, or is there something else I can do to extend my wallpaper into this border?
Thanks!!
There's a cab floating around called nocurtains.cab.
You might want to try that.
I haven't tried it but it seems to do what you are looking for.
thanks! "curtains" was the phrase i needed in order to search

Hi...
Just a quick question...
are u using a theme or do you have TouchPRO Vodafone TF3D...
and if so what version TF3D do you have? (Settings Tab->about.....)
Yes I'm using Vodafone TF3D - not sure where in the about list I can see the TF3D version, butmy ROM version is 1.90.161.5 if that helps.

ok... do you know where I can download that ROM?
(or the TF3D manila files)
It's not in the about list... it's on the button (that changes colour when u press it)
I think there is a download for the TF3D scheme halfway down this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2687462
I downloaded it today as a restorable backup in case I decide to change my theme - but I haven't tried it yet. Let me know what it's like if you decide to try it No idea if the Vodafone Rom is available yet though ...

I found a Vodafone Raphael 1.90.161.5 ROM here...
http://rapidshare.com/files/147978863/vodafone.rar.html
btw.. you don't have to have a backup manilas to go back to original...
just delete all manila files from windows... (if u have TF3D in the ROM!)
and the original will be there (can't delete ROM files...)
Ok cool thanks. I know next to nothing about themes and editing for TF3D but I'm going to be doing lots of reading up!
If I was a bit more savvy I'd be glad to help you getting the Vodafone TF3D for you but I have no idea where to even start! If I have any luck I'll certainly post here

Tmous stock. I'm loading this beast up now i'll let you know.
I actually was less impressed when i put it on the machine. I couldn't for the life of me get the taskbar or softbar on my phone to change so it really took away from what the them could have been.
I went back to stock but if i could figure out how to get it to look like the example pictures they give then i'd go back in an instant.

Im scared to install it on my HD2 running stock ROM 1.72.831.1 because it reports the manilla version as 1.0.19211620.0 and I have hearded that it can't be "uninstalled".
Anyone tried it?

Do you have an Asian HD2?
Haven´t tried that one, actually, I have a European device...
About the second question: It´s true, uninstalling a theme like GTX may not be as effective as a hard reset.
Therefore, even if you test GTX by yourself on your device and if you discover too many issues, you can always hard reset your phone.
Yeah its a HK HD2.
I really don't want to hard reset cos I have many hours of customisation work gone into it. I might give it a shot nxt time I ipgrade the ROM before I tweak anything else
Yeah its better if it is the first thing what you install on your new rom other wise you get problems etc...

You should use SASHIMI to make the customization process much more easy.
I started to use it everytime I flash a new rom and it is one of the most useful apps out there
You can restore also regs, copy files, install cabs...all automated.

Why don't you make a backup of your device, with e.g. Sprite, PimBackup etc?
If you first make a backup and install GFX and you notice it has too much bugs/problems, you can just hard reset your phone and put your backup back

Degake
Now theres an idea
Thanks! Super :good:
