HTC Topaz Menu Highlight Skin
I made a little skin for the menu selector.
WVGA and VGA are supported.
Install instructions:
Backup first
Unzip HTCMenus.zip and copy HTCMenus.bmp to the /windows folder.
Uninstall instructions:
Just delete HTCMenus.bmp, soft-reset and Windows will do the rest

I hope you like it!
Looks really nice ! Mooi hoor!
Very nice. Although I found some graphical glitches arround the little arrows. I fixed them for you.
Another fix. I reduced the filesize.
would be great if screens were in English) I can't even figure out what is it for)))

Haha, you dont need the menu's to be in English, it is the selection color for the rhodium menus that changes from green to black
Thanks Burningwheels, I added your fix!
Nice.
How about your top task bar (vista looking) : where and how did you get this !?
I love this, it looks really great!
Is it possible that you could make a complete replacement of all the green colored menus to this black one?
Thanks in advance

Yes that's possible, but I've no time to handle that.
I'm sorry I am a bit lazy, but I don't need it, so why would I spend hours of work for one person?
I hope you comprehend that.

I'm sorry I was on holiday so I couldn't answer your question. The reason for your problem, is that you probably have another menu installed. It could be the rhodium or the tachi version. I've made a skin for them too: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=535351
Good luck!
Might be worth looking at a post I started back in June
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520663
Alternatively Max TF3d Application lets you change the menus quite easily and conveniently without having to worry about a hard reset. cant find the link but if you search the forum it will turn up
But that's for manila, I made this to work with the menus in windows.
Nevertheless I haven't tried that tool but it sounds good.
I use cfc gui for tf3d sknning, it works very good.
Thanks for you post.

Same here... Month long wait is over finally... Zeeshee, thanx a million for this...
awesome. downloading now.
Thanks
just flashed. From SDCard Looks amazing. Just starting to test all the applications. zeeshee - respect !
Got it flashed on my device. Icons are looking in-tact. So far no issues. Will post in case of any. Thanks again...
how do i flash my phone with this file?
Well done!
How do I get taskbar like yours (with vista style start menu button) and popping up menu??
The only problems after 1hr of use:
- java emulator is broken (buttons names, alerts) and opera mini doesnt work in full screen
- connection setup is broken but this is sth we use only once a hardreset so can live with it
- input in operamini is limited ?? thats why i posted 2 posts and everything has to be presses twice
- connection manager - any options to have a 6 butt black or any other than we have? - just dont like it.
apart from that - perfect
No, the 6 button black version is made for the original dpi of the Vox, you have to rewrite the whole thing to make it work, but feel free to do so!
@Zeeshee:
Could you please upload you ROM and SYS folder? And is there still a black bar at the bottom of the homescreen like in other versions?? Or is it just the wallpaper? Or is the wallpaper chosen because of this?! Great work!
Hi
Java is fixed.
Connection Setup & Comm Manager.. I think they need to be re-written. But the other Dr. Gonzo Comm Manager is working fine. You can launch it from Home Screen as well from shortcut inside.

When incoming call comes, the image is not displayed in center. Any idea how to fix this?

If you are talking abt black bar at top... that is fixed
I mean this black bar:
Mh there is no option in registry for centering call screens that I am aware of!
java issues solved by installing Cloudyfa_EsmertecJbed onto device memory! works perfect!
i got only one white conn mgr. any other works in 96dpi?
how to get that black bar gone? anyone?
So what is the difference between 96 dpi and normale windows mobile ?

Moved to the Q&A section
It could be an Ultimate Launch setup with custom Icons, but I have no way to know for sure what exactly that is on that device in the picture. Perhaps the person you got the picture from would be better suited to answer this question.
i created this image in adobe, those images on the bottom is from " Nokia", i made that just to have a demo.
i was looking for a touch pad on the bottom like in that picture, for easy access to your fav. application
is there an application which allow you to make a short cut menu on the bottom like this picture shown???? plz reply
thanks
if you used Ultimate Launch you could create icons in tabs to have as many shortcuts as you'd like

if you look at this (the one circled) is what i exactly i am looking for
you can use ultimate launch, have 1 tab, this one tab will not contain anything but icons, and the size of the whole UL plugin will be as many pixels as you like. you WONT have to show headers so all you will see is what you're looking for.
Ultimate Launch is highly customizable. Just play around with it and you will see. I use it and love it. It will surely be on my device for as long as I have it.\
have you checked out the HTC Home plugin? If not, then maybe that will give you what you are looking for. Also check out HTC Home Customizer (HHC) to make it nicer to your liking

thanks hot rod, nir and andrew
but got a question, those images are those editable? also the short cut also customizable? because if am able to add my images on those HTC Home Sprint.. it would be awsome, cuz nokia images are pretty kool..
you can use whichever icons you like, use whichever header icons you like...
you can pretty much do whatever the hell you like

i am now after finding out, how to edit the icons and the short cut of "Sprint HTC Home Plug in", if i could get some help replacing the orig. sprint icons also the short cut, since am not using HTC cube or HTC album, those short cuts are useless, i tried the Ultimate L. which takes lot of main window space.

I think you can do this with iLauncher (SBSH).
thanks to all responded and helped.
i ended up using spb pocket plus, edited.
These are also located in astronouts thread up top but i thought I'd repost them here, these are the sms skins I have personally converted to work on the HTC Mega. I do not claim to have created any of them, I just re-wrote the css's and edited the images to run on our fantastic phone.
If it doesnt work, uninstall then install SDKCerts and reinstall your chosen skin

@mirost1: Computer guy? dunno what you mean just kidding.
Yeah they look nicer on the phone than the pics make out huh?
I'm making another original skin like Omnia atm (I like the Omnia skin, looks kinda neon-ish) but my next skin is going to be completely different.
180+ views and only 3 replies?
Interesting!
Heres a new one:
Download Omnia Blue
also added to the first post. I'll add more as I make them, I'm working on an animated skin at the minute, the key is to make it animated while not slowing the system down.
I'll post it here when its done.
Thanks you !
I've take OBlue recoloured !
Good job !
Glad you like it dude.
The animated skin is coming along nicely but re-writing the css files the way I want is harder than I expected.
Can you make an iphone type based on light blue background with white and grey (or light yellow) text boxes? Sounds boring but I like a clean version.
Thanks
yeah, just boxes or speechbubbles? lighter blue than the default iphone theme?
Speech bubbles are ok.....lighter blue indeed than default iphone and white or light yellow instead of the green
Even the glossy can be removed......
Thanks....

I dont mind doing just plain text boxes if thats what you'd prefer.
I'll get working on it after ive finished my current skin, wont take 10 minutes.
don't know why
Hi, After I installed, it doesn't work well. Is there something wrong? I installed Minishhippo_Iphone skin first. Then I restart. Nothing changed. So I install sdkCerts again. and I reinstall Minishhippo_Iphone skin. Still not working. Please give me a guide line. Thanks.

Hi,
I did not find any similar post on this forum so I'm posting it here...
Here are working fixes for the pink square in Phone Canvas and overlapping dialpad icon that some of you may encounter with WM 6.5.x.
All credits go to Mr Pham Quang (overlap) and De'Key (pink square). Many thanks to them.
1°/ Fix for the overlapping dialpad icon:
Firstly, just download the PQDHD2 cab from Mr. Pham Quang.

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2°/ Fix for the pink square during phone calls:
Once you have installed the PQDHD2 fix you will notice a small pink square during phone calls.
Just install the De'Key PinkSpotFix cab below, and that's it. All graphic glitches will be fixed.
Please note that this second fix will (probably) only work with the regular HTC dialer (i.e. the white one), and not with custom dialers.
Fantastic, now It's time for 6.5.3 rom update - no more buggy dialers!
cheers
it works! ...gonna include it in my dial pad skin

Thanks for your feedback.

thank you works great
Thanks it's coooooooooool
Thanks, but doesn't work for the lastest xtreme rom on my HD2
Edit: NVM, its just the xtreme theme
Totaly great...
Thanks...work perfect with Anja's OneStepFurth ROM(Ger)
Big Thanks...
Hi is there anyway to make this fix work for other dialers? Such as the Rhodium Dialer.
Thanxs very much. Working great. But can you tell me why the installed data package is so big (1 MB + 4 MB) ? Seems like just the icons has changed... And a complete dialer usually takes up to 14 MB so this cant be the case as well. Any ideas whats inside the cab...?
Thanks
EDIT: OK checked it myself. Seems like the files include the whole telephone-dlls with images for the phonecanvas and so on. Never mind
@elburna,
Indeed the package is big. I think we shall consider this fix as a temporary one. I'm confident someone will make it in one cab only (instead of two) and also make it lighter.
@BzeBwoi,
the 'overlapping' fix will probably work with any dialer, including the Rhodium Dialer. On the downside you will probably have a pink spot during your calls.
Indeed, when you install the first Fix, the dll file phcanImages.dll must be modified consequently.
thanks for this. been looking for ages for something to tidy up the dialer
good job!

I tested with Rhodium dialer and it is not working.
Primary, it messes the bottom line of the dialer (the one with the 'Talk' button)
That's bad. As I underlined in my 1st post, the fix will work only with the regular HTC dialer, and not with custom dialers.
I looked inside dlls, but could not find what menus have been changed, as there are a lot
Do you know what is the correct menu, so I can give a try to change them?
(or if you have the original dlls, I could try to search to find it by myself)
Jolas,
Unfortunately I don't have the original dll. Hope someone can help.
Nonetheless, the first fix should work with a vast majority of dialers. I don't know why it does not work specifically with the Rhodium one.
Alll the current diallers were fixed a couple of weeks ago. They were posted by alexx in da_gs mobile releases thread in dev and hacking forum
No work around or cabs needed, just two files to copy to windows directory.
Thx!
Works great on Artemis 6.5 ROM!
I've posted screenshots twice now (once in the hd mini request and once in my post your today screen topic)
So I quickly put my edited images (ALL THREE OF EM ) into an install-able cab file to change your boring touch flo skin into this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So install, soft reset and enjoy.
WARNING:
Be aware, usual warnings etc etc blah blah blah I take no responsibility in the unlikely event it blows your phone into a million pieces and causes you to cry and/or lose a hand, eye or any other appendage (yes, we've seen you, yes you...when its set to vibrate and you think no one is looking....)
Thanks, I was looking for something like this a while ago. I achieved it by using separate elements, like the hd mini wallpaper set throughout manilla with m2dc, livven simplegloss themes & customizations and a black manilla theme called "[email protected] 2.6 look m2d skin". All of these already available here on xda. Great job, will give this one a try too
yeah, im using the livven simple glass theme with rounded buttons too, all this is, is just 3 images, a transparent topbar, a solid black slider bar and the wallpaper (renamed hh_ff_background.png) in a cab hardcoded to install into the /windows folder.
it only took 2 minutes to make and isnt really a full theme but it looks good. Well, I think so.
To anyone who cannot read:
this is a touchflo theme, just 3 (three,trois, drei, tres) images are in the cab. hh_fw_background, hh_fw_bg_fill and hh_fw_title No other themes were edited.
Uppy, can you post seperately the black slider bar? Could not extract from Cab file.......
Update: not needed anymore, it worked!
Ok
Oh what you got cooking up? a custom theme?
You are the man!!!
Keep up good work
nice theme uppy,i really like it,but why in map search tab...the wallpaper can't change?can u give me wallpaper in map search tab?
I noticed that, I actually couldnt find that image I got fed up after 40 minutes slowly flicking through the Windows Folder.
Made a small adaptation to the theme......black slider and slider bar.....next challenge...make the slide bar transparent.....

Soft reset is when you press the power button a little longer and message says "do you want to shutdown your device".....push yes. And than push the power button again. Your device boots up. Voila a soft reset.
A soft reset allows the system file (in this case pictures) that is in use to be replaced, it also frees up ram from processes that may still be running from appilcations that have closed.
in short the small button under the stylus= restart?
yeah, thats right
soft reset = restart
hard reset = reformat
uppy not that cab file,i mean in zip file...hurm...that wallpaper...i just want to edit...it
