Today Font Colour

Hi,
Is there a way to change the color of the font used on the "Today" screen?
I have searched for this thinking that someone would already've asked the question but couldn't fine anything on it.
many thanks,
lstocky

Keep looking.
You have to use a program that generates today screen themes...covered SOOOO many times in the past.
If for some strange reason you can't find it here, try on google for "pocket pc" today theme

thanx for coming back on that.

program to cycle different today backgrounds (WM5)

I just got a bunch of nice backgrounds and i'd like a utility to cycle through them. Does anyone know if such a thing exists? i did a quick search but couldnt find anything on this forum.

http://www.google.dk/search?hl=da&q=today+theme+rotator&btnG=Google-søgning&meta=lr=lang_da|lang_en

thanks, im still looking through some of those links. but from my first impression it looks like those links provide programs to rotate the whole theme rather than just the background pic. Do you know if this is the case?

if so just change the search to something like this
http://www.google.dk/search?hl=da&q=today+theme+switcher&btnG=Søg&meta=lr=lang_da|lang_en

That's still searching for something that changes the entire theme, isn't it?
What I want is something to just change the wallpaper/background from a directory with many background images.
I tried searching google for "wm5 change backgrounds" but couldn't find what I was looking for. (my google skills suck)
Maybe I just don't understand how a theme changer could change my backgrounds for me.
Please advise.
Thank you.

Chome Weather 2.0

FYI, CHome Weather 2.0 works on the VOX. Please follow the link to see the original thread in the Excalibur forum.

Hello...just downloaded this version of CHome Weather and it looks amazing...great job. There's only one problem, probably related to the 240x320 cpr file because, like I already read in the excalibur forum, there's an issue in 240x320 where the background looks a little odd and doesn't fit the area like it supposed to. But again amazing job...keep it up
EDIT: I've just used a version of the 240 x 320 cpr file already used in another version of your plugin and it works great now

I was just now testing the other layouts and there are some issues:
- I realized that everytime i change the layout, it doesn't matter the cpr 240x320 file i did put there because when the layout is changed the cpr file is kind of replaced by the one corresponding to the sellected layout.
- In the HTC and Iphone layout, it shows always an icon with a cross below the icon of the current weather, instead of showing the icon corresponding to the weather.
- In regular layout, the gold and silver backgrounds don't work well in 320 x 240.
- In the regular layout, in the 1 and 3 layouts, I can't see the hi and low temperature.

Yeah, you'll have problems with the portrait layouts.

Is it possible to fix the problem with portrait?? That is the last thing, that keeps me from donating.

I am so happy with this program. I worked as Organic M's test subject to get this working. I can't say I notice the problem you guys are talking about in regards to portrait mode.
This is what I see:

have the author, removed the files from the location... I am unable to get those...
Can someone help plzzzzzzz!!!!!!!
Thanks

There are 2 links in the main post at the top of this thread.
The first one is the weather program
The second one is all the files that need to be installed to /windows on your device

Davis,
From your post, it looks like that screen is in ladscape mode. Portrait is taller than wider, yours looks wider than it is taller.

Thanks a lot.. I found the same at the post. I was just eager to get Weather update on my VOX...So got carried away...
Thanks

Well if you put it that way, you'll definitely NOT get me to fix the portrait layouts. How about.. "here's a small donation and small request... I would really appreciate it if you could work on the portrait layouts(which is a major PITA) so this works properly on my phone".

Well then I Only wanted to know if it is possible to do it. But I can live without it. I can look outside to see the weather. You know I made a lot of stuff for the Vox...but I never received ANY donation!!!

works beatifull. got no issues with any layout (i'm using plain black background). excellent job!
the only question i have is if it is possible to manually edit order of appearance on home screen somehow as i could do it in standard homescreens in _home.xml file?

This is definitely NOT what I wanted to happen here. I worked with Organic M to get this app to work with our phone models and he was nice enough to help us out.
This is far from the thanks that he deserves, since the app is designed for an entirely different model.
Why so serious? can't we all just... get along?

I think the Chome Configurator will allow you to change the order of Slides on your Home Screen.

I have no idea what you are talking about....
???

As I said I only wanted to know if it is posible nothing more. And I just wanted to clarify that people here are not thankful! I really do apreciate his work. And the work of all the other coders and cookers! I hope you understand my point!

Does this plugin use necessarily the whole width of the screen, or is it possible to customize its size or layout (present conditions, 2-days forecasts, 5-days forecasts...)?
At present I'm using Fizz Weather with Orange plugin on my Wings, in order to show an analoug clock and weather forecasts next to it (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=89987&d=1212446950); will it be possible to make the same thing with Chome Weather?

So... is anyone still interested in making this work better with the Vox ? Maybe ask some of your ROM cookers to look at the policies in the registry and ask them remove the restricts that don't allow cab files to copy files to the \windows directory ? Then I wouldn't have to make two separate .cab files when I released a new version That, and if anybody wants to help test the portrait layouts, we can make this happen.

Yes it would be great to see the weather plugin fully working on the Vox...that thing about the restrictions I never understood that because after checking myself the registry many times, I saw that the restrictions were disabled and the thing about installing files in the windows folder still remains a problem...

Vodafone Branded Touch Pro

Hi All,
just got my hands on my new Touch Pro from Vodafone UK.
Is there a way to change the color of the clock and the home screen menubar color?
These are now nice and vodafone red and i would like them in black.
device info:
ROM version: 1.90.161.5 WWE
ROM date: 09/03/08
Radio version: 1.02.25.19
Protocol version: 52.33.25.17U
Now I have to say that I'm a complete NoNo on all this stuff - seen people putting the above info in so thought it might help.
If anybody can help me with this, please do so in absolute laymans terms.
Thanks for helping a novice out
D

got a voda model myself today,
I falshed the Rom with a modded one and its all black now.
much better.

What did you do to flash your Rom and did you have to re-set any Vodafone connection settings after?
(I got a Touch Pro on Vodafone yesterday)

Great to know that it's possible - could you explain the how, where and what, please.( where to get the ROM, how to flash it, etc, etc, etc)
I wouldn't even know what a " modded one " is mean, where to get it, etc, etc,etc.
help me out please
thanks,
D

I have a Vodafone Touch Pro but have not flashed it yet because of the warranty issues, I have however installed a black theme that someone kindly uploaded.
For the life of me I cannot find the original link but the theme was:
HTC Blueish Black TP Full CasMO.theme
IT can be applied with the Diamond TF3D Config tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749
Whoever created this, it looks great and will not invalidate any warranty later of if you need to send it back to Vodafone.
Cheers,
D.

Many Thanks D. I was thinking of doing this rather than flashing.
2 Questions tho.
On your theme you have used does the internet Tab have the large globe picture when you open the Internet tab?
Also do you have black Text on certain screens?
On the Weather settings pace and on the 5 day weather screen I have Black text on the black background which is a bugger.
Many thanks!
Louington

Hi Louington,
No, I can't say that I have black text on a black background anywhere on this theme and I think it matches the phone much better than the stock Vodafone theme. I must say that this is was someone else's work that I found but still can't find the original thread, sorry. Credit to that person because it's fab work.
I've posted some screen shots, what I like about this is that you can always return to the default theme if needed.
Cheers,
D.

Hi - just turned my screen black - far better, thanks all.
1 thing - on your screenshots the Windows bar - top and bottum of screen are black. That didn't happen with me. have now via the themes in settings selected " Vodafone business" which is grey. How do I get this black as well?
thanks again.
D

Thanks for the update D.
I tried the theme you suggested and couldn't really get on with it.
(Didn't like the black clock or the blue highlighting)
The theme that I tried first was the HTC Black theme, I'll post some questions in the main theme's topic to see if i can find an answer.
Also what program did you use to take the screenshots?

Hi Louington,
No problem, I like the black clock, it's also nice in the car mount at night, doesn't distract you like the Voda white theme.
The screen shot are taken with My Mobiler (freeware)

Hi Dieb,
Sorry, not sure how to change the colour of the top and bottom buttons, I'm sure someone else should be able to assist.
Cheers,
D.

[Q] "Light" Themese for my LEO

Hi community,
First of all, it's great to be on baord, and this seems an awesome community.
Now to my stupid question.....
I found this webpage whilst I was at work on Friday. Whilst browsing, I found a theme that I would like for my LEO, but I did not bookmark the page (stupid for an IT professional)
Anyway, I was hoping somebody might be able to help me; what I can say is that it was a "minimalist" theme, with very few buttons, a small on screen digital clock, and it had what I would refer to as an "electric blue" background....just blue, no images, actually the same shade of blue as my Honda
So, if anybody can point me in the right direction, I appreciate it. Once again, sorry for my stupidity.

I think this isn't it but it comes close... probably?
best regards,
Myrixamophit

Thanks, but that is not the one
Incredibly, it is even simpler than that! I cannot remember the name of the person that posted it, but I scrolling through the forum now, because I know that as soon as I see the name again, I will recognise it.
Thank you once again

lots of "lite" themes possible with CHT 2.0....
but have you tried looking in your browser's history? (you probably have...but thought i would ask!)

I have looked through my cache; but at work, system automatically clears it.
BUT, I remembered today, was a few pages forward from a "wooden theme" that a developer did by using a shelf from Ikea....lol.
Wonder if this will help?

i used it in my endkey program....maybe it will help....

Hi Kuan Teen,
I'm sure I saw what you're looking for but wasn't here in this forum. I saw it in the "post your today home screen" thread in the android themes forum, so try there and you will find it.
I hope you get it, good look my friend

Once again, thanks all
I've accepted the fact now that perhaps somebody has removed the theme that I wanted. Perhaps it was a photoshop job? I've read that people do that sometimes.
New problem now....lol
Last night, I installed a theme, and tried to install it on my device, but the device complained about lack of space (I have Duttys ROM installed). So, can I install on the memory card (16gb)?
Thanks guys.

err.. don't know for sure but Blue SK-i was the first theme that came into my mind when I read your description
