Themes with Start Button at Top - General Questions and Answers

Hi, I've upgraded my Tytn 2 (Kaiser) to the TPC 28002 "Stock-Like" Rom. Loving it very much, but some confusion over themes.
When I look around for WM 6.5 themes, many of them have the Start Button at the top rather than the bottom - should these themes still work with my Rom where the start menu is at the bottom?
I tried the WM 6.5 Titanium Theme "Pyro", installing sdkcerts as instructed, but it just didn't work. Is that because this theme was designed form WM 6.5 with the start button at the top and it breaks on mine?
I have found some excellent themes that do work, but the Pyro theme is amazing and it would be great if I could get it working.
Any clarification, advise and pointers gratefully accepted.
Cheers

There are different versions of win mo 6.5 follow the build numbers. I believe the .1,.2,.3 series all have the buttons at the bottom rather than the top. You may have to use the same versions to match the themes. Usually themes are in a tsk file that auto installs.

TF3D Themes that are compatible with TD2

Howdy all,
Installed a them on my new td2 over the weekend, it was from mobilecustom.fr was called Touch Fluo 3D en v 2.1 Line after installation the start button on td2 did not work anymore any reason for this or are there only a few tf3d themes that work with td2 all topaz owners lets start a thread with download links on for tf3d themes that work on our TD2 phones. I had to do a hard reset cause I could not even uninstall the theme. Don't want to go threw the same process. By the way I got my new TD2 on saturday and it ROCKS!!!!
i tried some themes from blackstone forum and it works well
so the td2 start button on bottom of phone and on screen worked afterwards?
well, the stock rom of Topaz comes with M3D v2.0. the theme you downloaded may have modified not only the images but also certain layout definition files.
p.s. my peanuts theme surely works on topaz. hehe.

My Newest Sense 2.5 Theme: HTC Inspired

He is my latest manila 2.5 theme. Hope you guys enjoy! Just install the theme cab file and then the clock cab file. Hope you enjoy.
P.S i didnt create a stocks or footprint icon because I dont use those tabs.
Having trouble attaching theme file so i made a rapidshare link for the file. Only 10 downloads allowed so if anyone can attach it here it would great.
Update: Removed rapidshare link it was used up. Added a mediafire link.

Nice work dude.
Thanks alot for those that use max manila I also attached a cab file for matching notification icons.
Sorry to be a dunce, but I can't get this working on my Topaz. I installed the cabs, but nothing. It's not showing up on the settings screen as a theme, so I'm stumped. I'm running the official HTC 6.5 ROM at the moment.

Its for Manila 2.5, I'm pretty sure the official 6.5 only has 6.1, so it will not work.
@bcruz410
On another note: What build of manila are you using? Not the version, but the build
iam using the 2.5.1921 version but ive also tested it on the latest energy roms with the latest manila.

Thanks for your quick and helpful reply. Now all I need to do is to work out how to upgrade to 2.5, can I do this without flashing a completely new ROM?
I'll have a little search to see if I can find the solution.
Cheers
EDIT: I can see now that I need to flash a ROM that already has 2.5 in it. Any suggestions? The last time I flashed a new ROM, I had to go back to the official 6.5 because my GPS went mad. It was showing that I was about 400km away from where I actually was, at 15,000m altitude, travelling at around 400km/h.

If you want to change from Manila 2.1 to 2.5 you have to flash another rom...
You can start reading the stickys in the Rom Development section.
Thank you! Any slider is better than the awful (IMHO) original sense 2.5, but this one is really cool and finally woking in my ROM! (with sense 2.5.19211619.0). Is there a way to get the original black-on-white clock?
EDIT: I just noticed that my bottom bar is not like the one in the screenshot, no big deal, since the slider was my main concern.Anyway I'd like to have it aswell, so any help is welcome.
Works great, thanks for this. Much better than the awful theme in the new energy Roms
iam working on some new slider designs because i definitely agree, they are a bit bland. as to the theme that i have in that pic iam using ahens black theme. you can find in the windows theme sections.
nice theme, more relaxing for my eyes than the default one. thanks
EDIT: @bcruz410 .. Thanks !!
Thanks - these look much better than the defaults! Any chance you can do the 'stocks' icon as well - it looks a little out of place among your new versions. Thx
I like it very much, but the sense in my phone is still 2.1.......
@bcruz410
Wonderful theme... Can you please add those two missing icons (Stocks and Footprints) as well, as that would make the slider tabs completely skinned
Thank you very much for your efforts...
i've downloaded and installed the theme but nothing has changed..how do I have to do? I've manila 2.5.. txs
I absolutely love the clock here, but lately it's gotten thrown out of alignment. I'm not sure exactly what's doing it, but I suspect that it's Max Manila. I'm using the latest Energy ROM.
It seems that the clock background gets elongated, which throws everything below it out of alignment; the weather text appears in between the clock background and the split backgrounds for the weather stuff, and then the split backgrounds end up being behind the Calendar header (date and alarm status).
Any chance you might revisit the clock? I really haven't found any other clock that I like as much as this one, and I've tried I should also note that I haven't had any alignment issues with any other clock that I've tried, although most of them have just been solid (no transparent gaps).
nicely done!

[Searching] Theme Editor

Hey guys,
I'm looking for a tool for my Blackstone device which offers the ability of changing several theme related things. Like the color of a highlighted menu item and such. I've been searching the forum and even tormenting google half the day but can't seem to find anything that comes even close. -.- Does anybody know of such a tool?
What WM version (6, 6.5 etc.)? Do you have all those HTC customizations (menu enhancement)?

I use april 8th EnergyROM build 23554 with GTX themed cookiemonster's home tab.
Moved as not software release.
Well, there are mainly two different components which can be skinned, one is Manila and everything else from HTC, the other is WM 6.5 itself, which can be controlled by a compatible theme like mine.

This is exactly right. To change the colours in Manila, you can use Mode9 editor or manila editor. To change the colours of WM, you can use UI Tweaker or Pocket Theme Editor.
Thank you guys. It's mainly the system menus I want to modify, so I'll give Pocket Theme Editor a shot.

Did you try searching in the diamond rom subforum?
Just so I dont come off as a **** here's where you should be looking.
Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development
ALways better to ask closest to home as Diamond readers will see your post right away there. However as per the rules to the forums do a search first. A lot of rom dev's develop multiple versions of their roms so just do some reading before you go ahead and start another thread in the Diamond area.
good luck

[Manila Mod][6-Jun-2010] Co0kie's Home Tab v1.8.0

Co0kie's Home Tab v1.8.0
I strongly believe this Mod will receive more attention and audience in the
Leo Thread if it is posted in HD2 Themes and Apps, as it is a Manila Mod NOT a
Windows Mobile Apps and Games I understand it is a device wide mod,
but as i would surmise it is primarily made for the HD2.
....and the original link is

surprising
this mod normally stays on the front page for weeks!

just as i stated, should be in HD2 Themes and Apps!
No, it's for many devices. It has animation optimisations for slower phones, it allows you to disable CHT lockscreen on WM 6.1 devices etc. It was beta tested on many devices too, for compatibility.
Not HD2 only, by any means.

Running it and it runs very smooth. Also using bgwizard for transparent top and bottum.
I like eveything clean and transparent. Think the next versions of CHT will only be better. Hope in the future version CHT will be a combination of Maxsence and CHT.
I love my hd2. I eat and sleep with it
