HTC Homeplugin - How to edit white & grey text for: Home, Weather & Music Tabs?
Prior to posting this message, I have researched extensively on this site and Google for the answer but have not been successful. How can the white and grey text be changed to a different color in the HTC Homeplugin? For example, in the home tab, I am referring to the "carrier" name and "MM/DD/YY". In the weather tab, the white text for the current temperature vs. high= white and low= grey. The music tab initial text is white "Music Player" until you activate the media player and the text changes. I am currently using a white "tsk" and it makes it very hard to read the grey and white. I tried editing the "setup" XML file that is part of the initial HTC Homeplugin 6 tab version (I believe it's the latest one).
Any assistance on finding an answer to this inquiry will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I have the same question about HTC Home customize (in Wizard forum): how to add more tabs, change categories as I want... but no one answer yet! Could you, the professional, please show to the newbie the way to do...
Up to now, I only can add my app from storage to 1 of 9 block in Laucher tab (by create a shortcut in Program folder) and to tray (by using PHM toy)...

As much I hate to say it, right now there is no option to change the color of the carrier and date. My only suggestion to you would be to use a darker tsk or use HHC to change the background of the home plugin to something darker like the original background. Maybe some day they will come up with a way to change those 2 features but it is not currently available.

As for the Home plugin, you can add up to 6 tabs using the home customizer or schaps advanced configuration tool. You can also pick and choose which tabs you want.
For example>> When you flash the TNT.1437 Rom, the default setup is 5 tabs(home, favorite contacts, weather, launcher, music) but if you don't want the weather, but instead you would rather have the profiles tab, you can easily change that or have all 6 tabs.
As far as the launcher goes, you can only have 9 apps there and I don't think anything is gonna change that. If you need a quick launch solution, take a look at cLaunch. It's free and lets you do the same thing as the home plugin, only not so stylishly. Or if that is not an option for you then use PHM Power Toys and use TrayLaunch and that is just as effective.
Another Option for you would be Wisbar Advance Desktop(sorry, not free). You are able to create multiple pages and flip through them as you please(if you use HTC Home Customizer to unlock the home plugin you will be able to use it with WAD), add shortcuts to the desktop, create full themes for your today screen... etc. It's a really nice app but like I mentioned above, It isn't freeware.
OK! That means there's no way to add more tabs (just home, favorite contacts, weather, launcher, music) and add more block to Launcher either!
In fact I dont need new theme or skin but I'll try Wisbar Advance Desktop 1.3.0.7.

As a long time member of this forum, I must ask you to remove this post. Whether or not you got it for free or not is entire on you but please do not offer warez here. Offering someone Wisbar Advance Desktop for free is still stealing from the author even if you received it for free.
OK, done, man!
Hey all,
Well, after searching around I haven't quite found anything fits what I want. Wouldn't it be nice to have a today-screen plugin (I would be using TodayLife if it was a plugin) that is completely customizable, by let's say, XML? TodayLife came pretty close, but I would like to display the Windows Start menu and taskbar on it.
Does anyone know something like this?
thanks
Let's see... I think RLToday and XIAMultiTheme would be good.
But these are pretty well known, I assume you already checked them, why aren't they suitable? They are today plugins and are customizable by XML files.
Oh, and there also is Throttle Launcher, but I have no idea how to customize it.
What about Wisbar Advance Desktop?
It can act like a today plugin (i.e. replace the today screen completely). It's very customizable and powerful, you can set the taskbar and/or bottom bar visible/invisible and integrate the normal today plugins into it.
How about homescreen++?
yep, Homescreen Plus Plus (BatteryStatus) is XML...many themes already created on their thread.
I'm sorry, but isn't HomeScreen++ just a battery status and a clock?
moved to Q&A section.
please, refer to the rules.
thank you
Hello, since I get bored of Manilla 2.1/2.5 and I really want to USE my phone I have installed iPhoneToday - it's fast & really functional.
I have 2 questions:
1. Because it is not supported anymore, is there an alternative (not Winterface or iLauncher), which can be configured with own icons etc.?
2. Does anyone know if it's possible to iclude a weather-app (like the phone icons) shows temperature and weather?
Regards,
S-Line

You may like SPB Mobile Shell, its a little heavier than iLauncher but lighter than manila.
Thanks, I have tested most apps, also SPB MS, but it's a bit too overloaded, also I didn't find a nice skin (hate the original one).
But can I use png-files as icons in MS (like the iPhone-like icons released here)?

There are some icon packages floating around and you should be able to use PNG files.
Have you tried Ultimate Launcher?
You can assign icons through the UI.
back in the day there was a UI called Throttle Launcher they may work for you. I haven't seen it in a while though.... It had lots of skins and options to customize

Gday Guys,
Awesome website, could i just ask......
If i install Max Manilla 3.0, does this overwrite the normal Manilla 2.5 version? ie: all the quicklinks, icons, clocks, or does it just add to them..?
I currently have a HTC HD2,
O/S - 5.2.21869
Manilla Version - 2.5.20121431.1
Rom Version - 1.72.841.0 (82124) WWE
Rom Date - 02/23/10
Oh and i have the following installed on the device already:
1. cookies home tab installed also...(awesome)..
2. Duttys Task Manager 2.1.19183631
3. Skype Software
4. Google Maps
5. Microsoft .net CF 3.5
6. JCM Development CHTEditor
7. Isangelous Startmenu Grid
8. Bluetooth Toggle
Well thats it guys...Can anyone help....??
What im really after doing now, is making the top and bottom bars transparent...ie: the Taskbar at the top (with start on it), and the bottom bar (phone/menu)...
cht and maxmanila are not compatible in the first place, as stated on cht thread ("The mod is not compatible with other larger Manila mods (like MaxManila).")
Ok, Thanx for that mate, i had heard conflicting reports that you cud or cudnt, but the info is steering towards NOT. So thanx again.
