White manila 2.1 theme

Hello everybody,
I did search but no luck. Maybe it has not been done yet.
What I would like is to have a mania 2.1 theme that looks exactly as the sub-menus look. White.
This would be good for several reasons:
1. You would actually see your screen in direct sunlight. I suppose you know what I mean...
2. It would give the phone an elegant clean look.
3. It would give the good old manila a new look but at the same time it would not be exaggerated or too colorful.
I would be glad to help any developer who is interested, but unfortunately I don't have the coding knowledge...I know design though and would be glad to provide any kind of image manipulation services if it's needed.
If this already exists please help me with a link
Also, what we might need if a white upper and lower taskbar theme to make this complete.

The HTC Fuze (for AT&T) stock ROM includes a white theme. It shouldn't be too hard to modify the art a bit to remove the AT&T-ificiation, and make a nice white theme.

Personally, I have experienced that white text/icons on a black or black-ish background give me sufficient contrast for daylight use. Perhaps you should turn off your light-meter and set the backlight lumens to 100%.

Thank you for your reply. Yes. I was looking for something similar... The only difference would be to have it the default touchflo 3d sub-menu color scheme.
It would also help me if someone would guide me to a thread that is about changing the text color...that would be useful too. If I could change the text, the only thing that remains would be the slide-bar which is easily customizable.
Thanks

As I was looking further I found a thread and it seems like he has only just started the work.
Here's the thread:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=79323
And the image:

that reminds me of chocolate vanilla poptarts. and now i really want some poptarts!
edit: by the way that doesnt look like manila 2.1 (i typed vanilla at first, hehe, damn delicious poptarts!) like he wanted. but it looks like a white background and a white slider canvas and a black flip clock. how hard could it be to get those up and working?

Yes.
All we would need would be:
1. Black text - which I couldn't find
2. A Custom Slider - which is not as important
3. A black clock which can also be found somewhere - not too important either.
And it seemed easy to me too, but unfortunately no one has made this before. If it is that easy please point me to a thread where I can get the black text from (for manila 2.1) and I'll be happy because the slidebar isn't that bad this way either.

ask in the manila 2.1 port thread. im sure someone will get you some black text.
hey look what i found. retro eh?

Yeah, retro indeed. I asked in the manila 2.1 port thread but they seem to be too busy with answering other questions and didn't take the time to even respond.
I can understand them because they have enough on their mind...poor guys work a lot for free so you can't be mad at them for not answering.
I just hope that one day someone will take the time to change the manila text to black.

Smaller, but still finger friendly, menus for Treo Pro!

Some time ago, I have complained about the size of the menus in WM65.
After a little search, I was able to finally make it a little smaller, but still finger friendly.
The attached cab does that. Simply install it and you're all set.

Just added.

fantastic, it really shows how much sense it makes! great job!
If anyone could redo the sms-chat typing space bigger that would be even better

This change will increase the SMS-Chat area. Look for a file in the windows directory called thread_sms.htm
Use a program such as Total Commander or Resco Explorer to edit the file.
Look for the line <inbox:content id="COMPOSESUBECT" width="98%" height=35 spell...
Edit the 35 value to say 70 and save. May need to soft reset.

Man, it's great! If you do the permission, I'll try to put on my rom your software

Changing Themes
I installed this and worked great. I changed themes to a new one (I believe orange) and the menus were big again. I went back to the blue and it was also big.
1. Will this not work for other colors?
2. Will we have to keep reinstalling this for it work under blue?
Thanks for your hard work.

The thing is that this cab isn't a theme.
And unfortunately to use other colors it would require to edit the files that make up this cab.
I've tried to do it as a theme, but I didn't had any luck.

Okay, so if I want to have the smaller menus again, I would have to go back to the Classic Blue theme and then reinstall the cab?

You don't need to go back to the blue theme... just reinstall. But the menus will be blue... :-\

I made this (and I am definitely not a photoshop expert as you can see) and this is not glossy unlike Dinik Anastasia icons but it does sort of do the trick for me.

i have switched out many bad icon using CSMI (change start menu icon). works like a charm...
note - i realized that it does matter wherever you store your new icons (meaning you can't switch them and delete the original graphic) and you can't move them around at will. so i just put them all in a folder on my sd card and now no problems.
cheers.

how would i go about using your icons? just save to my comp?

Yep, just save to comp then transfer to phone. You will have to use an icon changer program app like JWMD icon changer, or CSMI (if you search those here on XDA, you will find the cab files with the instructions on how to use them). I use JWMD since it has intuitive UI and is easy to use. Changing icons is a tedious process since you have to do it one icon at a time. Good luck!

thanks.. i think i got it to work.. cheers

i got this one. maybe someone can make white corners transparent. no soft installed right now

Here you go.

hmm now there is a big white frame around.
maybe you can make it like the other two
thx

no white frame

It is a png file, the white background is transparent. And you are welcome.

use better cut , can be found in the market
and thanks for the icon pack !

What must be the size of the original icons?
(like this theme b.t.w.)

Is there a way to edit the original icons with these, so that they show up everywhere and not only on the homescreen as they do when using bettercut?

here's a few more

and some more icons

and some more for tonight

These are awesome. Can you do some for Racing Live, Shoot U, Root Explorer, Bloo, Dropbox, CoPilot, Car Home, aCar, Dimmer, WW calculator (just any, different calculator icon would do) and AppBrain
A lot to ask I know

Very nice. I love it.
+1 to that, it would be awesome if we could use these everywhere

thanx glad you like them

and the rest of them

Love the icons, then again, I love pretty much everything with your name attached to it(have enough wallpapers to last a lifetime ) Could you make icons for Movies, Foursquare, and Gowalla? Would really appreciate it!

For those asking how to change the icons everywhere, I'm pretty sure you can do that in NinjaMorph. It basically reassigns the .apk for you from your phone. You would just have to have the icons on your sd card...

Wow, they are awesome and so quick too. Thanks man, you are a legend

here are the icons

the great hockey from modmyi.com hope we get a 400+ page goin over here for this one...
love orbz been using since it was first realeased..think its time for a change hope iq becomes big as orbz

thx...........

He's already done root explorer. Any chance of Quick Boot and Stopwatch too?

here you both go

I used Desktop Visualizer to set the icons on the desktop. I tried Bettercut at first and it didn't seem happy and crashed.

I like that XDA wallpaper. Where can I get it? Is it in the screen shot thread?

here's the wallpaper in a ZIP, i made this a while ago for the forum.

Much appreciated! Gotta rep XDA.

Thanks H0ckey..You rock man...

few more iconz

more ................

Hi H0ckey, how to apply these icons?
Thanks for your advanced

Purchase Bettercut from the market.
What it basically does is it allows you to create short cuts for apps and what not and it allows you to pick what a picture for it.
its like in windows, you create a short cut for an app, then you can right click and change the icon in properties. same idea. works for all platforms, but ofcourse, read the comments first.

I too would like to hear more options than bettercut. I can't remember the name but i'm pretty sure there are some better, easier functionality than bettercut, also free. Anybody with this app, TIA

I use folder organizer. Alot easier to use and I never have the issues that I had with bettercut.

Thanks for all answers. I´ll try later.
Best regards
