volume Control skin

Hi,
I've been working on changeing the colors to the Volume Crontrols, but with a bad result!
Can anyone please upload the original "HTCVolumeControl.png" from the Windows folder.
No funny comments please ;-)
Or does anyoune have a nice set of colors to the volume Controls? I can only finde it for the THD, but not for the TD2 in VGA.
Thanks...

Here you go the original file...

Thanks a lot ;-)

These work on my Diamond 2. Credit to the person who created them (I can't remember).

Thanks again - it's guys like you that keeps this site alive!

I realy made a total mess of my volume control when i tried to put some color on it. Now it looks like the attached screenshot - very small, and i can't get i back to normal.
Any ideas about what to do?

perhaps you have change a dll or something from a smaller unit (QVGA?)
I've themed mine without any problem. What I do is just use Fireworks... cut out whatever button I want to edit, paste it into a new image, edit it, cut/paste it over the original.
With the small size I think a setting was off or again, a dll file was replaced.

Okay, i got i fixed now ;-)
The problem was the the skin files was for QVGA and not VGA - as "Player911" mentioned.
So i changed the porpotion of the 3 files som they matched the VGA resolution.
To change the S2U2 volume controls:
1) Close S2U2 using the "iLock2" app
2) Unzip the attached files
3) Copy them to Progam Files\S2U2\gfx and overwrite
Now you have green Wolume Control's if you use S2U2 volume control.

Windows Mobile 6.5.x= start menu text color

Hi
I was wondering what i takes to change the text color in the startmenu in a WinMo 6.5.x installation.
The registry method with color 39 does not seem to work anymore. I also tried a SK tool but no success either.
Anyone with some tips?

I too have a problem with WM6.5...
I have a HTC Touch Pro II which i have upgraded from the Touch Pro and its a far better phone, but i keep having menu text colour problems...
Basically, i created a theme for my old phone and installed it on my new one and it worked for a few days, then the menu text which started as all white, stated changing to black for some of the icons - not all, but a few days later they are all black, and on my black background its impossible to read...
So i changed the theme, all text again 2 different colours! different theme same thing :S
So went to the MS theme maker software which to cut a very long story short, finally managed to get a theme from the site and saved on my phone!
Success! untill the phone was reset and now its 2 colours again! this really doesn't make any sence...
So 1) why are there 2 different colours setup for the menu text? and is there any software which will let me edit all the colours for themes on my laptop then upload to the phone?
Thanks guys - this is driving me nuts!!!!

I Know This Thread Is Dead But This Will Help People Like Me Looking For A Fix
Here's how to change the Start Menu Text color:
*SAVE A COPY OF THE FILE YOU'RE EDITING SOMEWHERE IN CASE YOU SCREW SOMETHING UP!
1. Extract the file StartMenu_GridScene_480x800.cpr from your Windows directory to your desktop.
Mine includes 480x800 at the end because that's my devices resolution(Touch Pro II). If you have a different resolution, I'm pretty sure it will have that at the end of the file name.
2. Open the file on your PC with Notepad.
3. Find every occurrence of ForeColor="#00FFFFFF". Mine had two.
It might not be 00FFFFFF, but that's hex code for white so it probably will be.
4. Replace 00FFFFFF with whatever color hex code you want.
You can find any color's hex code online through Google.
5. Copy the edited file back into the Windows directory of your phone. Click yes when it asks if you want to overwrite the file.
6. I soft reset, though I don't know if it's necessary. I figure it can't hurt.
7. Check and see if it worked.
I've attached my .cpr in a ZIP file for BLACK Start Menu text. It works on my Sprint Touch Pro II, and it should work for others but it's still not my fault if something goes wrong. If you use mine, STILL SAVE A COPY OF YOUR .CPR IN CASE IT DOES SOMETHING FUNKY!

moved to the right forum, please post in the correct forums.

[Lockscreen] LCARS Star Trek style Lockscreen (updated)

My first mod, the LCARS Lockscreen! Make your lockscreen resemble the panels on the Enterprise! Yay! Also included, the original files they replaced.
Ahem...
Anyway, here is a zip file of everything needed to make your own lcars lockscreen. It's a zip because apparently the cabs I had up here didn't work properly... Can't beat placing real files yourself, I guess. haha
-
Instructions:
First- Add files in the icons folder to windows\ directory in phone. Just the icons in the folder, not the full folder. Either use icons in the zip or install the icons cab file. Also, put the lcars.ttf font into the /windows folder.
Second- Add lcarswallpaper.png and LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr to windows\lockscreen.
Third, reset the phone and you're done!
I've also included the original files for what this mod changes in case you want to revert back.
-
I have no lockscreen mods, cookie's home tab lockscreen is set to the default lockscreen so it won't interfere, or anything aside from the memclock app as you can see on the top right of the screenshot so I can't guarantee it will work with any mods. Like I said, This is my first so I apologize if it doesn't work properly on your HD2. As far as mine goes, everything lines up perfectly.
Restart your phone and enjoy!
When you tap the slider to get your notifications, the calendar and clock disappear. I don't know how to keep them their the entire time. If anyone can help with that, I'd appreciate it. \
For people that have flashed their roms only, try either the cpr courtesy of SolShade posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7153849&postcount=58
Or the updated cpr titled "LS_LockScene_480x800 FLASHED ROM.zip" at the bottom of this first post. This one contains minor tweaks to SolShade's working version, plus with my anastasia rom, there was a gap at the bottom that wasn't black, so everything was shuffled down accordingly to fix that.

While I havent tried it out, it looks cool.
Grats.
Now to make an interactive home tab with a captains chair perspective of the bridge.

Dear,
i have downloaded and installed 3 cab. but its not showing anything but only unlock button beside start button only...

Sorry, rasumia. I've posted the full files, not just cabs, so they should work a lot better for you. Guess quickcab doesn't want to play nice with me. Anyway, also has the original files for a manual uninstall also, so no risk of goofing with your lock screen again.

Not somethine I personally would have, but still a great job with putting it together!

thanks for your quick reply...
i have tried as you have mentioned in the Readme.txt but still same problem. only unlock button shows.
i use CHT 1.7.1 with editor...could it be causing this?
it could be better if there is a final cab so it would be all easier for everyone... thanks a lot!
i am personally star trek fan. it would be very nice if we can have a complete theme with icons slider and lock screen...
i know its too much to ask but its just my idea...

I would love a full manilla okudagram refit, but that would be a lot of work getting the layout right... I would almost like to do that, but someone else would have to program it.
I have cookie's home screen 1.70 enabled but all the custom lockscreen stuff disabled, only using the default lock at the default settings there. Your signature says you have a custom rom, maybe that could be a conflict? Looks like in the logs that they did do things to the lock screen. I wouldn't think it would be much different than what I did but who knows. I wish I knew more and could help better but I learned just with tweaking the lock settings. I have a friend that has an hd2 with the stock rom so I'll know soon if it works on his.

huh ?
want to use this but dont know how to replace files in windows DIR, system says cant replace ??????
D.

Works great.
Here on my german stock rom there is no Icon folder, just copy those files into windows folder, the rest as statet in first post, soft reset and there you are.
To copy the files I've used resco explorer
The only thing that doesn't work is the notification button for missed call. I can see it in taskbar but not instead of button comm1
Live long and prosper

Which files won't it replace? The icons? Try adding the lockscreen480x800.cpr file and wallpaper and restarting. If it changes the layout to match the wallpaper, then try the cab here to install the icons.
When I did this originally on my phone, I copied the files onto the storage card, then with the phone, copied and pasted the cpr file into the lockscreen folder. I hope any of this helps.

Hey, great job.
Where can I get LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr?
Thanks.

Working !
weightlifter that file is in the .zip file from the first post !
All good here the .cab file made the difference, thanx !
D.

Using windows active sync for replace wont work but using fileexplorer works...
for i couldnt make it work yet still trying...

use .cab
rasumia i used the .cab file for step 1 and then did the rest of the steps and it works for me !
good luck !
D.

ok let me try once again =)

Sorry no luck at all...may when it is completed i will give a try... thanks a lot anyway...

Very nice mate. I hope you can get the notifications showing all the time, like you said. Also, it would be better if the taskbar could be either removed or replaced with something else of equal functionality. It just seems a shame to have it not fullscreen.
Other than that though, very nice indeed!
Incidentally, I used total command to copy the files around and didn't use activesync to copy the font, and it works fine for me.

I have the same problem as you have. It might be caused by Cookies home tab or the editor.

I turned off the CHT lockscreen and turned on the default lock screen (and then a soft reset, because that's what the editor does then). Then I just copied all the files into the relevant locations, as described in the 1st post.
I did copy all the files onto my storage card first and then used total commander to copy them onto the device, which meant that I could overwrite any existing files without windows moaning at me.
Incidentally, I do have both lockscreens working independantly. I turned the CHT lockscreen back on and that is now my default lockscreen (from the home tab menu, or from pressing the end button), but if I go to the start menu and lock from there then I get this lovely lockscreen
(I do then get the CHT one as well, when I unlock this one, so it's not perfect but at least I can see both of them working.)

hasn't worked for me, used the zip from the first post, when i lock the device i get the default unlock soft button and no lock screen atall

hi,
I had this kind of volume control (attached image), but disappeared after the installation of a taskbar (DINIK Anastasia).
ideas on how to get it back (preferably in ITA)?

Goto settings then sound and display then switch off single volume, this will give you dual volume controls.

has already set off ... infact I have two separate controls.
The problem is that I no longer have that kind of screen (attached image 1), but the original (like attached image 2)

thank you, but it's not what I'm looking for

You could try to delete the following files from \Windows\ directory
HTCVolumeControl.dll
HTCVolumeControl.dll.0409.mui
I guess the volumecontrol then can't be found, and WinMo will use the default. Although I'm not sure if it will even work, it's certainly not the best way to fix the problem.
Make a backup first!

I may have mistranslated, but after installing the new taskbar, the phone returned to the default volume control. I wish that one I had before, the modded one

Ah, you mean you want the HTC volume control?
Then check this message, I had that problem a while back when installing a different toolbar.

Looks like the custom HTC volume control dll is not compatible with your ROM version. Navigate to windows folder, and delete HTCVolumecontrol.dll file, and reboot. You should get the stock one back.

[Q] Tutorial: Create or Change own Softbar for CHT2?

Is there a Tutorial on how to change an existing or create a new Softbar for CHT2?

Sure out there are some tutorials, but its actually not that hard:
You will need the program cfc_gui and a program like gimp or photoshop. You have to find the 5E90131C_manila file in your windows directory and copy it to the sd card and after that put it somewhere on your pc.
Open cfc_gui and open the folder the manila file is in. Than in the lower right corner select save as and change it as a image file.
Now you will have a image with 512x128 pixels. Open in your photo editing program a document with these dimensions.
After that you can start editing or creating a new one. The other image is only a guide so that you dont create a file that isnt usable.
If you have the image ready, then just open cfc_gui again and select the 5E90131C_manila. then in the lower right corner you press replace and choose your image. Now you have the image stored in the manila file. After that you can take the 5E90131C_manila and put it into the windows directory of your phone and overwrite the old one. After that restart sense and you are done

Thank you!
I will try it.
If I am not able to do it, after your explanation, I have chosen the wrong profession (M.SC. Computer Science) *g*
btw.
You created some great Themes and Customizations!
In which Manila files will I find the icons for cusomization? Not only the background?

Hehe^^ I am sure you will manage that, if not, just ask again
The icons are a lot easier. Just make an image with 128x128 pixels and name it:
CHT_softkey_win
CHT_softkey_menu
CHT_softkey_tabslider
CHT_softkey_phone
CHT_softkey_web
and
CHT_softkey_lock
after that just place them in your windows directory of your device and after a sense restart you are done

Great, if I get some good results I will post them.

how can i link missed calls count and sms and email to softbar and show them insted of link to oben the default web, phone, slider, lock, etc

Check this thread if you havent already.
there is a couple examples and Nordpolcamper uploaded a little guide/ template.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=993177
for me it was hard to get it aligned perfectly. you could always paste a softkeybar on your wallpaper and use a transparent softkeybar as the actual bar itself.
let me know how it goes.

thanks but this is not what i was asking for ,, i want to to have my missed calls and sms email, notifications shown on task bar .. like the notification bar widget but the task bar counts it so i have for example in my taskbar instead od lock button an image (custom softkey) you know we have at CHTEditor>softkeys>custom key1,2,3 with run path1,..etc and command line and icon path but

How can I combine my changes in a .cab file?

Hehe^^ well the easiest way to make a cab is using Quick Cab. Just search it and you will find it Lanch the taxi like exe and then go to files, then select all your files on the left side and then select windows on the right side and press add.
After that go to create, select the name for your program, enter your name and then go to browse, select where you want to save it, then enter the cab name press ok and then press create.
After that you are already done

looking good But I would recommend, that you use higher resolution icons for the softkeys, because they appear to be blurry^^

It's only the screenshot I think.
They look good on my device.

Thats quite easy But if you really want to work on the Softbars, I highly recommend just overwriting the files. Cause if you always install a cab you will get a very huge list in your programs list and that can be very messy. But if your eyes are set on it, I would suggest you download quickcab.
For simple cabs this is the best program and its very easy to use. Just set the directory to the windows folder, add what you want to copy and then give the program a name and a name for the Cab and press generate and everythings already done.
If you need help, just say so

i will just overwrite till i make a good one. ty for help
