Hello All,
I just had an idea on the way to work this morning..
I really like the HTC home theme, I use it on my Athena and it is great, I stopped using ultimate luanch as this does what I need.
I was thinking how nice it would be if I had some sort of home screen replacecment that would do this on my PC's.
Now I could set up a HTML site with like some Java or something for the animated clock, then set an active desktop but this would be LONG, I am sure it would give me what I needed though, if I find nothing else, I shall be doing this.
Just like HTC home, a number of tabs:
Animated clock
weather panel
applications
contacts
music player is pointless as I have so many different apps I use.....
Anyone thought of this, or even done it before?
Been done to death.
One of the examples.

Great Link thx a lot
First off I want to thank everyone here at XDA for all the hard work and effort you put into tweaking these great devices.
Now, on to my question, I've searched here and the diamond forum and I can't find any mention of a way to change the shortcut buttons on the landscape TF3D screen. I would really like to be able to customize that screen with shortcuts to applications I actually use. There must be a way to do this, has anyone got an idea?
First post , please go easy on my noobness.
Searchipoos......

Thanks Ouza but I saw that post and it's not what I'm looking for. This only deals with changing the two softkeys at the bottom of the landscape screen (which is nice in itself).
I'm wanting to change the 6 big shortcut ''buttons'' above that.
Basically I'd like to make the landscape screen the same idea as the programs tab in TF3D or something like it.
Any ideas... anyone??
I would seriously like to change the big shortcuts as well.I have a dock in my car using the video out. Video out forces Landscape mode. When I hop in my car, I dont want to take notes or check tasks, I want GPS, internet radio, Live Search...
I will dig deep into the registry and let you know what I find.
I want the same thing !!
Video out in the car, so I want to be able to start my Navigation from the landscape-menu.

Change Landscape Menu
For the TV out menu that pops on screen after you plug in the video out cable, you can change the shortcuts in the registry.
HKLM\Software\HTC\TVOutPopUp\
There are four links in there, you can change them to any app installed on your phone. Only problem im having is changing the icons.
I have to bump this thread. There must be a customizer out there for the lanscape shortcuts! I just may go back to HTC Home if there is no way to put shortcuts in landscape!
I doubt this is exactly what you're looking for, but herg62123 is working on adding landscape tf3d to his project. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=447056
Not quite,
I have my TP docked in landscape in the car and I would like to open apps like NAV, or Picture Dial, or Kinoma Play in landscape.

I don't think there is going to be any easy way to customize those shortcuts. I'm pretty sure the landscape shortcuts are hard-coded in one of the binary manila files.
That sucks!
Well I guess HTC Home will do for now.
You could change the softkeys to point to two of the apps you want to run. Not the perfect solution but it's better than nothing...
I guess....
Maybe I can use 2nd today and set a button to it with AEbutton and have HTC HOME for landscape and TF3D for portrait.
Thoughts?

Sounds like a good solution. I haven't used either product but from what I've read on here that should work. good luck!
Glad to see this topic getting some attention finally
For anyone interested, try out this theme with a slimmed down version of tf3d in landscape. It may suit what you're wanting more.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=458036&highlight=landscape
Frankly, though, I didn't like it, and preferred to go back to my old theme. My main goal was having a landscape screen with a handful of a few apps I'm most likely to use, but in this theme you still have to scroll through your entire list of apps installed so, it really wasn't any kind of shortcut.
I'll keep sorting through all the manila files for a solution. Anyone with any reference docs or anything on creating themes or customizing tf3d would help as I've never dealt with it until now.

I've been searching around and noticed that indeed themes do change the "landschape shortcuts" but there doesn't seem to be a "general" program that's able to change them. I'm a little confused, because some reactions state it isn't possible to change these "shortcuts", saying they are hardcoded. Does this mean they're rooted so deep in the code that it's very hard to change them? Anyway I keep following this thread and hopefully some come up with a solution... Keep it up!
*Wish I could help*
I'm trying to use the default WM 6.5 today interface, chome is it?
Anyway, some things bug me compared to TF3d and TF3d2, so I'm asking if there are some experts who might be able to help me out?
Is there a way to get the Pictures today plugin to point to a different folder than the location where camera pictures are stored? I've tried using the today chome editor, but can't get anything to take. I have a folder on the root of my storage card call Pictures were I store photos from my desktop. I'd like it to point there.
I find both quick launchers to not be very effective if you have many programs you want to add there. Is there another way other than the start menu to have a quick launcher? I liked the one in TF3D. I find continuely scrolling left or right one program at a time to not be very effecient.
The same goes for Internet favorites as well. A better way other than scrolling left or right to find the one you want?
I'd appreciate any advice. If there isn't a better way then that's ok, I just figured I would ask. Probably just me.
Thanks.
if you like tf3d why dont you run tf3d?
You can always create a folder in the start menu with links to your pie favorites. It's pretty easy to do. I don't use the pic panel, but go here:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CMyPhotos]
"LocName"="My Photos"
"ICONPATHS"="2451;2451"
"GUID"="{4F612B1A-E470-4b31-9386-AC396AEDAAF9}"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CMyPhotos\Images]
"chMyPhotos_DRM"="2453"
"chMyPhotos_default"="2452"
See the last value? Maybe if you change it to \Storage Card\Pictures, you'll get what you want. It's just a guess.
Please forgive me if this has been addressed elsewhere...
I'm using MS 3.0 on my kaiser and I have no use for the professional layout screen. When I slide my finger up or down on the screen, instead of switching to professional layout I would like it to go to the launcher. Does anyone ohave suggestions on how to do this?
Thanks.
Part solution
I have this setup on my phone right now. tried it on the titan and vogue. check it out

thanks for the quick reply, but i'm not sure if that will give me exactly what i'm looking for.
I guess I could have put it this way...
is there a way to change the sweeping gestures in SPB MS 3? I would like to change a vertical sweep on lifestlye so that it opens the launcher instead of the Pro screen.
Ok so firstly i have spent 30minutes checking and im yet to find it, if its already been asked/answered then sorry .
Im basically looking to remove the useless items(for me) on the home screen :
The weather- I check this on the seperate tab so i dont need it
The massive clock- Blocking majority of the screen, has time on the top right so again no need.
Disable quicklinks unless i scroll down the home page(i think this is possible already)
Calendar- Tried removing and is still there.
Im trying to minimise the stuff on the screen to admire the wallpapers , havent found a way through the options or via cab's to do any of this, if anyone has suggestions then id appreciate it .
Using duttys leo cooked rom, Manila 2.5.20113626
MaxManila (which you can find here at xda) is able to customize almost anything you might want to change - adding or hiding elements is easy.
There may be other options of course, but I think this is the most convenient.
Just make sure you install the correct version for your Manila.

thanks for the reply and links, however i did try those in that thread and i ended up with my HD2 failing to load htc sense . Id rather remove the features than make them transparent apart from the slider which i managed to make transparant .
What section is the download for MaxManila in?. Is it specific for hd2 or is it somewhere else, cant find it on its own in here so far .
edit: actually no i missed the no clock from your link! I tried the other parts originally , just tried it and it works perfectly now however i stillk need to somehow get rid of the calendar and weather along with quicklinks .
