work fully?? Please note, skins for individual applications are different from themes for the phone..
If you want a theme for the phone:
1) Download using Google, and you will see lot of free theme sites likePocket PC Themes , PPC Gallery etc...
2) Copy the .tsk file to your PDA (my documents or wherever...)
3) Navigate to start>settings>personal>today Click on today and you'll see select a theme for your device: select the theme you downloaded and click OK and enjoy your theme...
NOTE: when you download a theme, make sure it matches your screen size (VGA, QVGA, etc...)

I have a Orange M600 Spv and when i go in settings there is no personal folder

When you click on settings it will display three tabs at the bottom of the screen "Personal" - "System -"Connections"
within the personal tab there is an icon which looks like a house its called Today.
1) Click on Today and it will give you a list of themes available on your system select what u need and you are done. Again please note through this you can only see the themes for your phone and not your applications.
Cheers

How do i skin psshutxp?

i'm using edhaas's fully loaded rom and it has psshutxp included in the rom. i found a skin that i would like to use and would like to know where the files are that i need to replace and what they are called?
can anyone please help me? i have everything else on my mda customized and i would really like to skin that program too.
Use Wisbar Advanced to skin psshutxp ... I don't know where to save them too or I would do it too, I have a couple nice ones, but don't know where to save them.
So does anyone know where we save the psshutxp skins?
After the initial install of psShutXP, create a folder on your storage card called "psShutXP Skins" Download your skin file folders to there.
When you want to change the skin, open the file folder of the skin you want to use. Copy and paste those files into the \Program Files\psShutXP folder and soft reset.
Thanks Newbie! always a fountain of info you are.
Think nothing of it . . . I never could stand to see "grown men" beg. . .
ha! I am having a problem though, I did like you said, installed pSShutXP, copied the skins I want into the programs/psshutxp folder.. but they don't show up, it still uses the default skin.

Hi, Copy the skin into the \windows directory and it will work.
Best wishes,
Nope, that didn't work either... I don't get it.. these are QVGA skins for PSSHUTXP ..

I just copied the files psshutxp_skin.gif and psshutxp_skin_eng.gif from the following .zip (from their site) into the windows directory, and the new skin was applied automatically. You could try a soft-reset, but I didn't need it in my case.
Good luck!
See, that one worked.. but the Alienware one I have didn't work even if I renamed them the same thing.. I tap on the alienware one and I can see it when it open, but PSSHUTXP wont apply it for some reason
Sounds like a problem with the skin. Might let them know...
Good luck!

Animated Flash Themes 2007 Really Awesome !!!!

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

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.
I own a At&t Tilt and it works great thank you......is there any database for more tsk. files or to create them

here is some cpr. files if the clock slide changes back.just install the cab one is for 3.0 to 3.2 and one is for 2.0 to 2.3 then go to options in the weather app layout options and pick one of the cpr. the weather app over writes the cpr file in windows so win you pick a layout it will kill the clock slide till you put the cpr files I made in it
here is some original wallpaper that came with the htc diamond and I added a bronzeres.dll with black diamond icons
and if you are using my theme I added a clear clock so you can add your own wallpaper the original had a black background all you have to do is add the files to the windows folder on the phone and if you us the black bronzeres.dll just switch to a noun slide theme thin add it
to the windows folder if you us freddy's menu or dialer I added icons to the icon folder for the icon folder for them.http://allshadow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2321&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=10

It sounds like you unzipped the cab file because otherwise you wouldn't see all the files. Redownload the cab and save it to your phone, but do not extract the files from it first. Then use file explorer on your phone to start the cab install by clicking on the cab file.
hey coo theme who created it?
i have this installed and running on a Blackjack 1 with 6.1, everything seems to work right except the clock and the slider panels. The clock is the standard clock not the one on the screenshot of the OP, the slider panels are blue no matter what back ground i use.
Is the default background supposed to be the black diamound one? I bet its not showing up because this is not made for a landscape device. could this be made for a landscape device?
OK look at the second posters avatar.....my screen looks just like that. Isn't it supposed to have the diamound style clock and background? When i switch the the diamound green or diamound fire they both show up fine, just the clock is not diamound and the panels are blue.

sorry i did not make it for landscape and it would not work on it
ok, well thats to bad, it is really a cool home screen. I didn't think there would ever be this kind of screen on a smartphone.
Great work though! I wish i could figure out how to do this kind of stuff!
Well i took a pic of something black and made it my home screen and with the blue sliders it looks pretty good! So i don't have the clock like i wanted but, all the other stuff works and i have a pretty cool looking home screen!
Thanks!

So I installed cab on phone succesfully, but I went to settings, more, regional settings nd I tried to change the time format like you said but it only gave me a few to choose from ( 11:19:42 am or pm) but wouldn't let me enter in 00:00:00 or anything else. Please help & thanks.
edit: FYI it seems to be working just fine w/out adjusting those settings, excatly what does changing the time format do? Thanks again nd I luv the new theme, keep up the good work.
johnnyeoneal: you have it right I just put the 00:00:00 for currant time and if you didn't change your time to that format it would not line up with the diamond like boxes

HOWTO add a New Tab in HD2

Lot of people looking for how to add a new tab for HD2, but none can find what he's looking for.
A simple example: Adding all programs tab
Let those who know about manila tweaks to help us to have the know-how to achieve this goal.
Thank you
Well there is a program tab being developed in the General WM software development section but it's currently VGA and needs to be edited for WVGA.
Another option is to use MTP (manila today page) in the diamond section this works .004 with sense with a couple of fixes and you can have any today plugin on the today page. see diamond section for full details or here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=616415
MTP
Well, I tried the MTP but it didnt add extra tab. but I can use existing tab (in this case STOCK tab) to be use for another link. Now I use it for Radarweather.

You mean that we can't add a new tab but we just can replace existing ones?
But how come they manage to have it on the vga one with even other tab for manilla TV (see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5383259) But none talk about adding a porgram tab for wvga for HD2, weired isn't it?
Is there any tutorial of how to manipulate the manila xml or even explanation how manila works, so we can try to figure out a solution

You didn't read the instructions carefully. You have to delete the manila xml and delete key in the registry. This is essential to have 1 extra tab:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=616415&highlight=manila+today+page
1. Install MTP
2. Turn off Sense (otherwise you won't be able to perform step 3).
2. install MTP Apple Icon.zip (if you want to have the apple icon instead of the silver windows one...i made a *.cab here)
3. Under \windows delete the file ManilaFull.xml.
4. With a registry editor, delete the key \HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration.
5. Activate Sense and reorder your tabs (by deleting xml and reg key you'll revert to default order).
I use the manila today page myself for displaying pocket weather in htc style.

MTP
O.K. have try the new mtp. It install fine without the need to do any window or registry edit. The only drawback (to me) is the ifruit tab icon. It spoil the whole silver feeling. Just a small sacrifice though. Just follow the link given by mkucuksari and download the correct version. Install and softreset. It'll be there.

This cab give a coloured today icon and works for sense, if you don't like the apple icon. It also give a people link on the right instead of MTP settings but the link is non functioning, also the MTP setting link was not functioning on my rom stock 1.66, you can gain access to MTP setting from start menu.

One question: After installing this cab, do you also face with a annoying "MTP Load" message at start-up process.

I used Diamond before, one apps cab can be modified it, now I don't know if Touch2 has or not ...
As mentioned use M2D customizer...go to tab background......click on right button "path to new background file"and it is done (PNG files!).
Alternatively you can install a complete "theme" as you find many on XDA (based on new 2.0 Touch flo). Go to tab themes in M2DC. First upload the theme to your phone and put in themes folder.
