Color schemes/themes for WM6?

Hey. So I'm sort of at a loss when it comes to my today screen. Im a huge fan of the layout of the default HTC theme, but not a fan of the green. I really like the blue of the windows theme, but I dont like the layout too much. So basically my question is... Where can I get that blue (and other) color schemes and themes for WM6 (that support the multioriented screen)?
Thanks a lot.

You can use Facade to change and customize your today screen.

I had the same trouble on WM5.0 ...
Open up windows folder in WinXP when synchronised with ActiveSinc (much faster than with the smartphone built in file explorer) and search for bmp files or jpg.
Copy them all and transfer them to the desktop, see if one isn't the windows screen ^^

I personalize my home screen in Notepad, I prefer more info on display:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Awesome, thanks guys.
Djaxdjax, I took your advice and just played around in notepad until i got something I liked!
Thanks again

How did you change your homescreen information with notepad? what file did you edit?
I'm looking to put a battery timer/percentage like you have on yours. Also, how did you change the colors?

Just open whatever *.home.xml file you want in notepad, add/remove whatever plugins you want. Save it and transfer it to the phone.
the homescreens are stored in \Application Data\Home

reebzor, can you show as your edited .xml ? How to add battery timer/percentage ... and others...

I personalised the Windows Default around the Windows Media Plug-in
See here : http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=256744&st=0#entry830032

Looks nice. Isn't your S710 getting slower? E.g more lag to build up homescreen or slower when navigating between apps?

Thanks.
I can't say I noticed any huge performance difference, on saying that, I'm overclocking to 252 anyway
Perhaps slightly less battery power due to the refresh of the SmartMonitor resource features, but that also could be I used the phone a lot yesterday, finishing off the homescreen.
I've also been using this homescreen for a while now (before I started to post it) so really have no performance metrics to compare to.

Try adding icon-size="16" or icon-size="32" into the <mru /> tag. Only size 16 and 32 are supported (no other sizes are possible).

Windows Mobile 6.1 + Rinku's Iconbar only
These are my Slide Themes. The first five are installed as one package. It's called Slide Custom. For the different Wallpapers you have to choose the right ColorScheme!
Now there is a new approach. I created a theme called "Slide Own Wallpaper" where you can easily switch backgrounds. For this theme you have to put two pictures in "\My Documents\My Pictures" called portrait.jpg and landscape.jpg! The default color scheme is black, but you can choose the others like Red, Blue or Brown etc...
The last one is distributed separately, because it was made on request.
For the Call Screens and Branding Brick install the cabs from the zips! Download them all from the link to MediaFire below!
Don't forget to donate!!!

Good job frauhottelman

I have made a little Slide theme, with a Panther background (from Mac OS X)!
It works with Rinku's Icon Bar, so you have to install that too. Just copy the contents of the "Rinku Iconbar" folder to \Windows and apply the reg file. Then install the cab. Done

I've got Rinku's Icon Bar Installed, so is it just a matter of installing the cab or do I have to install the Icon Bar files from your zip to get it to work?
Roland

You don't need to install the iconbar again. Just the cab

ok complete noob here
How do i apply the reg settings??
Thanks for you help and i can wait to get this onto my vox.

OH I forgot to mention that this is WM 6.1 only.
If you have that just copy the file to your phone and open it, but you need a registry editor installed on your phone too.
http://www.phm.lu/products/Smartphone/RegEdit/

Thats for that.
I'm running Dr. Martin's 6.1.
The reg file has been put into my documents on my phone but i cant find a way to add it to the reg :S maybe i'm just being really dumb with this!
(PHM regedit is installed also)

Just click on it like you would open it!

Very nice work, frauhottelmann.
But i have a little problem, my iconbar is black

Let me guess, you had iconbar already installed? If yes use my version, it's newer with transparent iconbar.

did i understand right ?
is this the theme we know from wm 6.1 smartephone ?
ps. i don´t want this battery and wifi icon. is it include or not ?

This is made for a HTC Vox with Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard. I'll upload one without Rinku's iconbar. See my first post.

Yes!! That was the problem. It look beautiful.
Thanks man.
I'm happy with this.

i cannot see the /windows folder of my vox (wm6.1 of dr. gonzo) can you help me? i have all files and folders shown.

When you try it under Windows the folder is hidden. You have to make hidden folder visible!

Thank's for this great HomeScreen, I'm using it now. Just need some Mac icons for the panels and plugins and the HomeScreen will be complete.
Roland

i have no icons in the iconbar. it is completely invisible. i think if i press the button in the middle of the nav-button (the one with the arrows) it just opens my regedit (wm6.1 dr gonzos) and does not inlcude the keys, could that be?

i completely agree, with a new icon set, this would look so AWESOME!

would like to add 2 more comments:
1. has there been icon sets created for WM 6.1? is it even possible?
and 2. i'm not a big user on appointments, is there a way we can remove that and put in Live instead?

Same here... Month long wait is over finally... Zeeshee, thanx a million for this...

awesome. downloading now.
Thanks

just flashed. From SDCard Looks amazing. Just starting to test all the applications. zeeshee - respect !

Got it flashed on my device. Icons are looking in-tact. So far no issues. Will post in case of any. Thanks again...

how do i flash my phone with this file?

Well done!
How do I get taskbar like yours (with vista style start menu button) and popping up menu??

The only problems after 1hr of use:
- java emulator is broken (buttons names, alerts) and opera mini doesnt work in full screen
- connection setup is broken but this is sth we use only once a hardreset so can live with it

- input in operamini is limited ?? thats why i posted 2 posts and everything has to be presses twice
- connection manager - any options to have a 6 butt black or any other than we have? - just dont like it.
apart from that - perfect

No, the 6 button black version is made for the original dpi of the Vox, you have to rewrite the whole thing to make it work, but feel free to do so!
@Zeeshee:
Could you please upload you ROM and SYS folder? And is there still a black bar at the bottom of the homescreen like in other versions?? Or is it just the wallpaper? Or is the wallpaper chosen because of this?! Great work!

Hi
Java is fixed.
Connection Setup & Comm Manager.. I think they need to be re-written. But the other Dr. Gonzo Comm Manager is working fine. You can launch it from Home Screen as well from shortcut inside.

HTC 3D Menu in new ROMs

addressed to all ROM cookers.
I have attached the cab file for htc 3d menu which i like to use. Some of the shortcuts dont work for new roms. I couldn't fine anyone else reporting similar problems so i attached the file.
e.g the task manager shortcut.
How can i configure these shortcuts to work properly. Also i feel this is a tiny little app and can be included as a part of any ROM

This menu is brilliant! Thanks for sharing!
Yes, it would be awsome if some of you cookers out there would integrate this into your ROMs!

Yes indeed! And it has two color variants too..

Could anyone please upload some screenshots of this cab?

Great application. No doubt about it. You should tell in Dr. Martin and fireburned's threads. I hope they fix shortcuts and include it in there new roms

Yeah, this came packaged with my HTC S710 - out of the box.
On a different note, one app that I just can't wait for is the new version of SmartToolKit....drooooolllll

teddybalan said:

yes, the shortcuts worked in the orignal rom. i think maybe this application has predefined locations for some default applications. The ROM cookers place the apps somewhere else so it is unable to locate them... so i think.
i have also attached 2 screenshots. (the background is animated)

HACKED!
Managed to make the shortcuts work. It's very easy.
So, if you want the shortcuts to work (let's say Voice Commander for example).
1. Connect your Vox through ActiveSync.
2. In Windows Explorer, go Tools-Folder options... there you go to View, then check "Show hidden files and folders and un-check "Hide protected operating system files".
3. Go in your Mobile Device, Browse into Windows folder (now visible), then to Start Menu, and if you want to access an app through Voice Command, simply create a shortcut of any app there with the name "Voice Command". It's that easy! It now starts Bubble Breaker on mine
Update: found on some older thread

can i need the cab file for the neo Image?

3D is enabled only if I press 'all programs' - is there a way to make this default ?

add shortcut can
but how to remove the unworkable links in the menu????

thanks it worked
two cons : 3D menu shall have icons for freshly installed apps; switching from 3D to 2D does not require reboot

This menu doesn't work correctly on 96dpi ROM A part of the screen is left out and I can see some elements of homescreen or programs in this area.
Here it is with Resco Explorer launched prior to the menu.

How to have an animated background?

Hi romil7
Maybe create new relase, Sreen Design from WM 6.5 Pro
This is a good Apps, thanks

Cool. Thx for sharing!

I have tried it.But it did not work. Why?

Adoniteking Extreme Makeover ICONS *UPDATE*

The HD2 is my 1st WinMo handset and I really like the icons but some of the icons for our most frequently used Apps are really ugly and low res. So I read the tutorial on how to customize your Icons on pocketnow.com (LINK). And decide to share some of the replacements I have used.

Icon UPDATE: CSMI icon, Dynaink (or any drawing App), Digital Compass, Windows Marketplace, CleanRam, myplayer, Resco Registry, Email(or SMS), S2_U2(manual lock), CleanRam config, S2_U2(main folder), Spb Wireless monitor, Spiderman toxic city, Opera(or any internet/wifi toggle app), Resco explorer.
DISCLAIMER: I only made the myPlayer Icon. The others are modified by me but were designed by very talented people.
To edit your icons use CSMI icon editor app or Manually with your registry editor.
Manual Method
Open your Registry Editor
--go to HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start.
--Just locate the Program-You-Want-to-change.ink folder and find the string value key labeled Icon.
(if you don't have a string value key called "Icon", just create a new one and label it "Icon")
--change the string value of Icon to to the path were the image is stored. (I suggest you drop the images in there respective Program Files's folder)
--SOFT RESET and you re done...Enjoy your new cool icons.
Download: XtrmMakeOverIcons.rar
Example:
--To change Resco Explorer: I dropped the resco.png and registry.png into the Resco Explorer folder stored on my Storage Card's Program Files folder.
--Navigated registry to HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Resco File Explorer.lnk
--
Created a new string value key labeled Icon. and under string value, typed \Storage Card\Program Files\Resco Explorer\resco.png
--Soft reset and Done.(this same procedure was done for the registry.png but in the Resco Registry.Ink)
Note: All icons are .png files and have transparency(which i personally prefer). Only a few are done in iphone style buttons.
I dont tend to update frequently because of the amount of workload i have for my final year project but just keep your eyes out for more beautiful icons from me.

Hi,
I saw your tip on Pocketnow. Thanks.
I was waiting for this set of icons. This will be very helpful.

awesome! thankfull for helping my phone not look like something hit it from the inside

there's a couple of apps to help you change icons direct on the device if you're interested.
this one is a good one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567080

saw that one and used it, worked like a charm
have messed around little with folders in start menu so couldn't change all the icons I wanted, but as long as the first sight on the home screen looks good...

this is awesome.
what we need tho is a complete high quality icon set.
I'm actually amazed that nobody has done that so far...my photoshop skills absolutely suck but if anyone is an expert...I'm sure everybody here embraces the idea...
what we could do tho is donating money for the time that it takes

How about redoing the complete action screen in colour.
At the moment, it's completely black&white which seems
