Hi all, I was looking through sys/shell for the titlebar icons for battery, etc and noticed they are all monochrome bitmap. Has anyone tried changing these icons to 16 color bitmaps and changing the color on them? I really want to try, but I don't feel like doing something idiotic. Anyone have any experience with this?
Would be great if we could change them to something more colorful!!!
I agree, I've already edited them and everything to what I want, however I don't want to throw them into the kitchen, flash the ROM have it mess up and brick the thing because I can't get an activesync connection because WM won't load because of missing system files
I'll try them on my prophet... I've got back from no shell at all before...
that'd be cool. Let me know, I was looking at in on my PPC6800, WM6.1 I believe
anyone have any experience with this?

Hi, I'd like to make my fonts look like the ones that they advertise with the crossbow. I mean i'd like to have my whole system with those fonts but i don't know how. I've done tons of searching but i could not find anything that would help me change the fonts of my whole system (unless i build my own rom with those fonts but that's too complicated for me). Is there another way? i've found some threads that's suppose to change the fonts but it messed up my fone, others do not change the whole system but just some fonts. All WM6 roms that i've used do not have those fonts that I'm talking about. I'd like to make it like the fonts on this picture. Can someone help me please?
Is there anyone out there who can help/suggest something/make me read another thread/tell me it's not possible/whatever...?anyone?

I don´t think it is so easy - but what about cleartype. The font doesn´t look so different for me. Just cleartype?? Don´t know.
Start - settings - screen - enable cleartype.
And there are registry hacks to enable it also in landscape mode. (Registrywizard or HTweakC)
thanks, but i already have cleartype on. not quite the same but i really appreciate ur reply. With over 240+ views, i finally received a reply. At least i can say ur one of the few people out there who genuinely lend a helping hand to others. I really appreciate it thanks again
Looking at the screengrabs I think they're from a VGA device (a HTC Universal for example), which is why the fonts looks slightly smoother and more rounded. The font on the XDA Exec I borrowed looked a lot nicer than my XDA Mini-S just because it was higher res, despite the actual screen real-estate being used in the same way (IE. although the screen was higher res, everything was larger to compensate). The effect I saw looked just like in some of your screenshots - particularly the first portrait one.
thanks paulmdx!i guess that explains it. it probably looks different because of the vga screen.Thanks, i guess i'll just have to give up on wishing that my fonts be like that
Sorry for my late response...I was suppose to reply back to you after you reminded me that the fonts could be changed...I managed to change the fonts by adding the files to the font folder in the \windows\fonts directory...the extention you are looking for is .ttf...I tried to use a font with a different extention and it didn't work...also if you are looking for fonts then your best bet is http://dafont.com ...they have the best looking fonts, and they have popular fonts used in movies, video games, etc...the one that I am running is aiight, and the one that i put on my girl's is the Walt Disney font...one more thing, after you put the fonts on your ppc you will need to have a program to change the font for you, or you'll need to either change some registry key to enable it (I don't know the keys), or use a program like Tweaks2k2.net to change it...it's not a free program, but you'll be able to use the program 3 times before you have to register it...I don't if you were looking for the font used in WM6 or you were looking for a way to change fonts on the ppc, but anyways here's some info for those who wanted to do this...
Btw this only changes some fonts, but not all of them...it's better this way just in case you put a font that is blurry, too small, etc...while I was trying out fonts for my girl's phone, this happened to me...if all the fonts on the ppc were changed, I wouldn't have been able to find the options easily to change the font...looks awesome though...even my keyboard font changed...my cousin said I'm ghetto because my font looks like tagging lol...
Missing font!
While we are on this topic.....Some of my fonts are messed up!
I installed the 10 button Comm Manager and couldn't get the WLAN to activate. I then went back to the 8 button Comm Manager. Later I found a fix for the 10 and uninstalled the 8. When I did it messed up my fonts. Does anyone have the stock fonts they can send me?
Shep
hello all, first new topic so go easy on me. anyway, i read through a lot of ppl not being able to figure out the transparency slider, but that is not my issue. my issue is i cannot change the today background image period. i can select it, but the today screen never changes. i know it worked the day i bought it, but it does not work now. the only things i have done to it so far was to unlock it and change from the sprint clock to the flip clock. would either of those mess up my ability to change the background image?
It depends if you're doing the today background or the touch flow 3D background. If you have TF3D running it covers the traditional background that is changed in Start->Settings->Today. Instead scroll to the settings tab in TF3D and look for the wallpaper setting there.
I think there is a CAB floating around here that will push the TF3D wallpaper to all tabs.
wow, thank you. i feel like an idiot now that i could not figure that out. i will have to find that cab you speak of b/c this pic looks amazing when used with the sprint theme.
Oh sweet theres a cab that changes all the background? Where can I find that? PS my device is stock non flashed ROM since its corporate.
i am still looking. i found one for the diamond that ppl are trying but it seems to only work on certain roms. i will keep searching as i only like to apply mods that are proven to work.
Go to this thread - there is a link to the CAB file on it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=451276&highlight=background
The link is in post #3 if I'm not mistaken.
slyng1 found the cab that I used. I have NATF's 1.1 ROM (basically the ATT ROM minus the bloatware) and the Black Touch Pro theme installed through Diamond TF3D Config and the cab works great.
i really like atts default here. i just dont want that background and can only change it on the home tab. i figure i will just take the default theme, modify the background image and upload it with diamond tf3d config that i have installed to get rid of the att tab and other stuff. thanks!
i installed the cab for manila customizer. did a backup but that didnt help. is there anyway i can rip the theme so i can customize it? no one seems to have it for download. come on! this is the only thing i have left to get my fuze exactly how i want it. (yes i friggin love it and everyone who doesnt thing it isnt the most brilliant phone in the world must have holes drilled in their heads, the damn iphone freaks!)

Restore the default AT&T theme.
Use mUn Background4AllPages, which will replace the default grey background with a transparent image, allowing the custom background on the Home tab to show through.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432951
mUn Background4AllPages was originally done for the OEM HTC TF3D theme, so there may be side effects since the AT&T theme uses a custom clock. Be sure to read the thread for any extra info.
yeah i tried that. it doesnt work. the background is solid black instead, the clock doesnt work and everything is moved a bit out of place. thanks for trying though.
i found out more how to do it. these files are under weird things named 4a087e41_manila and 5c9aa261_manila and i tried using manilla editor but its just freaking out with errors because the program isnt well written. it would be alot easier if that background4allpages worked. oh well ill just wait for something better. thanks anyways.
When you open the start menu in Windows mobile 6.5.x it fades the taskbars out slightly.
I want to stop it from doing this as it kinda makes my theme look rubbish.
How does it fade it out & how can I change it?
is it a image file mask that I could replace for something entirely transparent?
or is it an entry in the registry that I could change?
Thanks
Cris
I thought I had managed it by changing the wallpaper, but its still bugging me.
Don't think this is possible, at least not with simple registry edits .
If anyone has any ideas, though, please share them! I'd like to see this as well.
Situation is this..........
Flashed a new rom, like half the taskbar, dont like the other half.......
So I'm wondering.... is it safe to decompile two different taskbar cabs and mix the .dll's to make a new cab of bits that I like?
A Frankenstein taskbar if you like.
As long as both the taskbars work well with my rom then there shouldnt be a problem right?? Are there any link betweens the .dlls involved that would cause a problem??
Any input much appreciated.
Thanks
No sir; as far I know the .dll files works independently; so you can match the icons on your style.
Thanks Kurt, Thats good to know
Just wanted to make sure before I caused myself a hard reset........
