How to install
1.download "rafy_vitto's_custom_6.1_slim_panels.zip"
2.go to setting/home screen change your layout to "windows simple"
3.connect your phone to the pc sync it with active sync go to your windows folder look for the file "CHome_240x320.cpr" make a back up of it(drag and drop it anywhere on your pc).
4.unzip my file and extract the custom "CHome_240x320.cpr" and drag and drop it into your phones windows folder.
5.now go to setting/home screen and change your layout to sliding panel. and thats it your done.

good work. They look pretty nice. Great option for portrait devices
One suggestion, move the date to top of panel instead of hanging off and will be perfect.
here you go mate , tell me if you like it, and btw here's a landscape version
I like this, it looks real slick.
One problem: it lets text drop off the panel in my calendar pane if the location text is too long and wraps to a second line.
But other than that, good work!

Cannot change chome_320x240.cpr file
When I try to replace this file with the slim panel file, I get a permissions error. Tried a registery unlocker and I still get the same thing. What else do I have to do to edit this file?
Move it using Resco or Total Commander.

tried with total commander, still get same permissions error. i have a sprint q9c, maybe they are locking that down in some other way
I have the same problem with a Motorola Q9h (AT&T). Total Commander brings up the same error in Vista that Windows Explorer does and Resco Explorer on the phone says I can't delete the file because it's in ROM!

Hi,
I am quite happy with s710, but a small thing annoys me a little.
When you change the Main Screen theme and a colors scheme - one thing stays unchanged - the background picture during making a call. It stays green (in my case) with HTC logo. When havin, say, red colors scheme the green background with two red stripes at the top and at the bottom looks ugly.
How this can be changed ?
thanks
Search the registry for RAI:
RAI: is it a file ? or a folder ? In Windows I cannot find it...
The logo/image displayed during a call in progress, Call History, etc... can be changed in your phone's registry. You need a registry editor to access the phone's registry. Just do a search on the internet for "Mobile Registry Editors". Most of them are free-ware.
If you want that logo to be the same for all screens, you can change the image itself instead of making the registry changes. Your phone needs to be application unlocked. In the Windows directory on your phone you'll find a file called: ms_mobile.gif
By replacing this image, and soft resetting your phone, you've changed most of the screen's logos/display images.
If you want a different logo for different screens, you can use the registry editor to manually set them. Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Rai
under the sub-tree you'll find all the screens (MSCdial, MSBranding, ...)
Almost every image can be changed here.
Good luck.
Background
Hi, I also am trying to change the background image when dialing, its the blue/green full screen background which does not really look good with my homescreen.
I have looked through windows directory, but cant find that image? any ideas. I see the smartphone gif, but that dose not bother me to much.
Thanks for any help!
This is the case on the e650
Most likely:
DialScreen_240x320.bmp
DialScreen_320x240.bmp
Incoming_bg.png
And yep, ms_mobile.gif is the banner image.
Better yet...

Hi and thanks for all you help, I have done the above, my phone was an unbranded s710, so did not need to do a lot, but its that fullscreen dialing background that I cant find?
DialScreen_240x320.bmp
DialScreen_320x240.bmp
They were not in the windows folder, I did put my own in there, but after a soft reset, still that image? (see below)

Oh THAT one!!!
Looks like the standard WindowsMobile.jpg. That one can be found in the Windows folder. WindowsMobileLS.jpg for landscape.
Would be wiser to change it in the registry. Make your own screen, copy it to the windows folder and change these registry entries:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin\Progress\Portrait\Other\bmpNormal
change the value from \Windows\WindowsMobile.jpg to \Windows\SomeNameForYourCallInProgressScreen.jpg
And for the landscape version:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin\Progress\Landscape\Other\bmpNormal
Just checked this on my phone and it works. Let me know if it works for you.
FANTASTIC
Thank you very much for you help, worked with no problems! much better now!!
You're welcome
Glad to hear it worked.
Here are the black ones. Should work with any theme color

i don't usually do this, but i'm going to give you my opinion on that today screen:
- MESSY
- you need to use a stylus for those little icons
- you have softkey buttons "5678" THEN "1234" ...why?
Personally, i believe the Diamond 2 is "new age" enough to use a bit of eye candy.
My first PPC (iMate Pocket PC) had a "prettier" look that this.
Sorry for the negative critique :/
do you realy like this screen?
I do like it for the moment LOL
You must know that TMobiel statically 'froze' manilla on my Topaz cq making it nearly impossible to alter it in any way! It is a horrible interface. I didn't even bother to make a screenshot(!), because after 2 and a half hours I deactivated TF3D, took the stylus out and never looked back.
Now and than I do switch to different today plugins and must admit that tdLaunchY has kinda tiny icons <g>
Well I'll give Easy Today Launcher a try. It has more of a finger friendly look

have you not considered flashing a new ROM onto your device? that way you could do what you want! (trust me, TF3D is GREAT when it runs smoothly!)
good luck (if you're worried about flashing a cooked ROM, you can gladly PM me, it's easy)
I also do not use TF3D or ... I use SPB pocket plus and some nice today plugins and base today may also look nice. .. all aplication I use are one or max two click without stylus!!! ...and make changes is quite simple. The system responds and works quickly ... I have a phone for work and efficiency and speed control is important to me than a complicated adjustable slow TF3D.
I flashed my Jack with WM 6.5 recently and loaded the Titanium panels. But I am not seeing an "all in one" panel for Missed calls, Email, Text, and Voicemail. Instead I have a panel for each one.
I checked out the list of apps/panels in the 3vo ROM's for the Excalibur and nothing seemed to be the panel I'm after.
See middle Screenshot at the bottom of first post:

Or just below the Wifi panel in this SS.

Anyone know where I can find the stand alone installer? Or help narrow down the search terms? The results I am getting haven't helped find it yet.
I was able to find the info in the Titanium CPR file on the 3VO rom, so I copied that over to the file for my phone. It works!
I just can't find the icons though, I've got red x's on the condensed view and 2 of 4 icons in expanded have red x's. I've looked over the text a lot and I just can't find where they are pulling from.
Looking at the image keys in the registry I see the following:
Value Name: chNotification_cv_email
Value Data: 2003
I'm guessing that is pulling from a DLL, but I am stumped on where to find the name of the DLL so I can view the contents to pick new icons.
Have you tried checking with CHomeConfigurator? I have both the combined panel and the individual ones...

Is there a way to reorganize messaging items/get rid of a particular item e.g. voicemail?

I think you would have to edit the CPR file and comment out the items you don't want to use. If you're editing the CPR file, make a copy for safe keeping in case you mess it up.
Commenting an item out should be easy enough, you'll probably have to adjust the spacing afterwards to get things to appear neatly again.
anyone who has this app downloaded... knows that the quicklink icon is bad quality.. it kinda bothers me.. so is anyone up to making a better one??
cause thats the only "ugly" icon on my quicklinks and i would like to remedy it... any takers?? or perhaps someone could guide me and tell me how to do it.. so i can proceed?

I made this (and I am definitely not a photoshop expert as you can see) and this is not glossy unlike Dinik Anastasia icons but it does sort of do the trick for me.
i have switched out many bad icon using CSMI (change start menu icon). works like a charm...
note - i realized that it does matter wherever you store your new icons (meaning you can't switch them and delete the original graphic) and you can't move them around at will. so i just put them all in a folder on my sd card and now no problems.
cheers.

how would i go about using your icons? just save to my comp?

Yep, just save to comp then transfer to phone. You will have to use an icon changer program app like JWMD icon changer, or CSMI (if you search those here on XDA, you will find the cab files with the instructions on how to use them). I use JWMD since it has intuitive UI and is easy to use. Changing icons is a tedious process since you have to do it one icon at a time. Good luck!
thanks.. i think i got it to work.. cheers
i got this one. maybe someone can make white corners transparent. no soft installed right now
Here you go.
hmm now there is a big white frame around.
maybe you can make it like the other two
thx
no white frame
It is a png file, the white background is transparent. And you are welcome.
if you want to change the right softkey all you have to do is:
1: Download my manila file
2: Backup the original 07c67730_manila file in your windows folder
3: Copy my manila file to your windows folder
4: With your favorite registry editor goto: HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
5: Change: HomeRSKPath / HomeRSKText / HomeRSKArguments to what ever you like
For contacts change HomeRSKPath to: Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page
To remove quick Links without the menu all you do is hold the quick link you dont want for about 3-4 seconds and then drag it away this works on my rom but gessing its the same for all roms

FYI, I used HD2Tweaks to achieve the same result without the hassle of backup up/copying manila files, going into the registry etc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=588652
Nice iv never used hd2tweaks before gess ill have to make mine even better so that it will have some use
*EDIT*
After testing hd2tweaks the right softkey setting never worked for me so i gess this is for people where hd2tweaks dont work
*EDIT*
Don't know if it's the Dutty ROM I have, Co0kie's Home Tab, or the ROM that you use, but the long-hold on quicklinks does nothing for me. Shame, because that sounded like a nice feature.
im also useing duttys rom so i gess its the Co0kie's Home Tab
I'm using an old version of a Dutty ROM - HG v0.8. It could be something that he himself introduced, if you're using a later version than me, but if that's the case then I'm pretty sure installing Co0kie's Home Tab would stop it working.
Im useing dutty HG 2.9
I was trying to make a customizable right softkey menu but run into some problems. I could make any of the menu items run anything that i set in the registry but i could not change the menus text
E.G i could make it so that when you click on somethink like Set Local Time and Date it would open the all people page but i could not change the text from saying Set Local Time and Date to say Contacts or any kind of text
the menu is loaded from Manila://home_menu.dialog if anyone knows how i can make my own .dialog so i can change the menu it would be grate
Thank you Splder!
It is perfect!
