HTC Album 2.5
Titanium tutorial! By Cal-El & utopykzebulon! ( Thanks again to showaco )
Ok first lets cover the basics, There are three files we are going to need to start with: First two are
the Titanium 240x320.cpr and the Titanium 320x240.cpr and tthe third is the bronzeres.dll.
The first two contain the values for the placement of icons pictures and fonts and the third contains what
icons are going to be used by the cpr file! You can find all three in the windows folder of your device!
Ok, if you look below you will see the first couple of lines from the Titanium240x320.cpr file, The value
we are looking for here is going to be in the fith row down called the Image ID="Image Default, This is the line we
need to change in order to alter the clear panel! The left is how many pixels the left edge of the panel will be from the
left side of the screen, Top stands for how many pixels the top of the panel will be from the bottom of the "condensed" panel
above it, Width is well the width of the panel and Height is is how many pixels high the panel will be! You are going to alter
these numbers to get things where you want them!
<Image ID="Background" Opacity="1.0" Top="-27" Width="240" Height="320"/>
<Layer ID="StaticHomeArea" Visible="False"/>
<TitaniumListView ID="HomeNav" Width="240" Height="268" Columns="1" Rows="5" ItemWidth="240" ItemHeight="27">
<Layer ID="Focus" Width="240" Height="90">
<Image ID="Image Default" Left="75" Top="10" Width="240" Height="85" ScalingAlgorithm = "TriLinear" Opacity="1.0" />
<ControlSequence ID="Action Sequence" FramesPerSecond="30" Loop="False">
<Image ID="Image" Left="0" Top="5" Width="240" Height="125" Opacity="1.0" />
The first plugin we see is the "HomeHome Clock panel, there are two sets of values for each plugin, expanded (active) and condensed (not active),
the names are pretty self explanatory. Every plugin is made up of icons and text and just like the clear panel you need to alter the values
to place the icons on the screen and simply adjust the font size to fit what you want! To change fonts just search for fonts on google and find the one you want
download the ttf file and double click to find the true mane of the font (it may be different than the file name.) Copy the font name and replace where it says
"FontFamily" The color of the font can be adjusted by changing the color values FFFFFFFF being white and 00000000 being black!

Then we move on th the Bronzeres.dll. The first thing you want to do is go here http://www.restuner.com/ and download a trial of resource tuner, this will allow you to go into and view the
contents of the .dll file then google for some icons and go into resource tuner and begin to change out the icons for the ones you want!
Then use the file changer to navagate to the dll or cpr file you want to change and presto, you have made your own theme for Titanium!
The file changer can be placed on your SDcard but both files must be in the same folder!
I will continue to write more on this and I am sure as you and other get better at doing this we will see some realy cool stuff!
I just wanted to get started on the basics as I am sure most of you just want to get started!
Have fun, more to come!

Cleaning Up the scrollbars
Windows mobile 6.5 has changed a lot of things to attempt to make things more finger friendly and a little easier on the eyes. One of the new additions to 6.5 is the skinnable scrollbars, and built in "scroll action" with the swipe of a finger. With everything going gestures, you may want to completely do away with scroll bars (and you can) but i suggest something a little different to cleanup your devices screen..... Simply removing the up and down arrows.
If you are brave you can reduce the scrollbar's width to a half or quarter their original "defaut" size and only use them to be able to identify your location on your screen. To do this you will need to set your arrows to zero and adjust your scroll bar width in your registry. I would use Schaps Advanced Config to make your registry changes because it is alot simpler and safer, but if you just must do them by hand, here are the keys:
Change the thickness of scrollbars
To change the thickness of the scrollbars at the right/bottom of documents larger than the screen, adjust...
For the horizontal (bottom) scrollbar:
HKLM\System\GWE\cyHScr = 9 (DWORD decimal)
For the vertical (right) scrollbar:
HKLM\System\GWE\cxVScr = 9 (DWORD decimal)
The default thickness is 13. You can set the value to anything you may like
Change the length of scrollbar arrow buttons
To go with changing the thickness of the scrollbars, you may wish to change the length of the scrollbar arrow buttons...
For the horizontal (bottom) scrollbar arrows:
HKLM\System\GWE\cyVScr = 0 (DWORD decimal)
For the vertical (right) scrollbar:
HKLM\System\GWE\cxHScr = 0 (DWORD decimal)
The default length is 13. You can set the value to pretty much anything you like
Moving the Chromium Lock Slider
Most of the Hacks for Titanium will come from the ".cpr" files found in the windows directory. Cpr files are simply xml files (and to edit them you will simply need to rename them to .xml, use an .xml editor, and then rename them back to .cpr) ....or you can of course just use the "right-click open as" and open them with word pad, microsoft xml editor, ect.
In Quote from drkfngthdragnlrd,
All .cpr's are the skin layout controllers for the respective parts of WinMo 6.5. The Start Manu, Titanium, Lockscreen, Incoming Calls, anything that has a CPR is all part of CHome. All all this stuff is is just a basic shell. WinMo 6.5 otherwise isn't anything new. It's safe to say if you find all the files and regiy it can be ported into 6.1 or even 6.0 as CHome first appeared in 6.0 on the T-Mobile Shadow as Neo.

If you want to make things simple You can grab the attachment to this post and copy paste it into your Windows Directory on your ppc.
.....but if you prefer to get down and dirty, everything is explained below:
If you want a more full synopsis on cpr files before we start you can find it here.
In this specific Tweak you will want to find the CPR file named LS_LockScene[your resolution here].cpr Once you have it in your XML Editor you will want to find these Keys:
Code:
<Slider ID="LockSlider" Top="3" Left="24" Width="192" Height="40" Orientation="Middle" OnPress="ShowNotifications" OnSlideLeftFinal="Unlock" OnSlideRightFinal="Unlock" >

These are not the slider itself but will be in the way of where you are trying to move the slider and will need to also be moved:
Code:

For a QVGA Device you will want to change them to this (to have my set-up):

If you would like to change the slider to be located to the left (like s2u) you can change the orentaion of it like this:
Code:
<Slider ID="LockSlider" Top="3" Left="5" Width="192" Height="40" Orientation="Left" OnPress="ShowNotifications" OnSlideRightFinal="Unlock" >
For info on editing the lock slider text go here.
If you would like to take a look at mine (or just use it and copy it to your device) you can get it from the attachment to this post. A great tool for comparing or merging with you existing changes is WinMerge, see post one for a link.
WARNING: My file is for QVGA Devices.

Nice tips! Thank you!
Could you let me know how you've got the "slide to unlock" option at the bottom instead of at the top?
Also, anyway to add a "speed dial" tab to Titanium?

I dont know to much about the plugins but i can sniff around.....
I added a tutorial for moving the slider in post 3
Menus
I noticed you have the HTC Menu Enhancement showing in the screen shots in your 1st post. To disable this and show the Windows Mobile Menus instead. Change the following registry key;
HKLM\System\GWE\Menu
CUIHandler= "DWORD"
Change 1 to 0.
NOTE: The TSK must be for Windows Mobile 6.5 and included the Menu/Scrollbar/ETC registry (HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\)

You can make custom plugins. In NeoTitanium I made a contact dialer called CContacts. The downside to this though is atm you have to manually go into the registry to add the url's for you contacts and the program use to handled making calls. Hopefully someone who knows programming will make an app to handle this in a GUI interface so even the casual user can make use of it.

Wait... Will that key enable the HTC soft menus? I noticed on most 6.5 builds they don't work...
Also as a sidenote: joel, you may want to add how to remove the up and down arrows for the not so adventurous ones that don't want to experiment

Only if it's installed I guess. This is how to disable it. Anryl's ROM has it install and turned on by default.

That's good news. I've been looking for a way to enable it in the first place on 6.5. It doesn't work at all on 21500.

I know for a fact it works on 21500. I have Anryl's 21500 Rev.5 flashed and it has the HTC Soft Menu. I always have to disable it anytime I reflash or hard reset. Hard resets not due to the ROM, due to my changing things and having to test them once done on a clean install.

Well now that I know it works, I may build a 6.5 looking soft-menu theme. The 6.5 menus suck.
i may try and throw together a cab file with the registry settings for a quick and easy change if i get some time this weekend

Yeah, I'll probably get to throwing out a custom CAB for a lockscreen CPR that I made. It follows your idea of the swapped layout, with lock slider on the left, font size increases, and a ton of minor tweaks that just make it a bit easier on the eyes.
Also, I noticed that you have to modify the CPR a bit more than just setting the layout for the slider to display properly on the left side. If you just set it to appear there, you can get away with just tapping it and the phone will unlock as it's already to the left and an action is set so when the slider is moved to the left, the phone unlocks . I just simply cleared that event and everything runs smoothly now.
Great thread.
Dodadadoo! Ok I now have a tweaked LockScreen CPR for VGA devices that improves usability dramatically. Here you go!
Just UnZip and move to the Windows folder with TotalCommander!
Ques: is there anyway to make behave 6.5 Start Menu the way it used to in previous WM editions i.e opening Start Menu by tapping the Start button and closing it by tapping the Start button again??
And could anyone find out easier sorting of the Start Menu icons..i hate the way it has to be moved rt now :| (Tap-Hold->Move to Top) i wish it could have been moved by dragging the icons
(Sorry if this is not appropriate here.. if it is please delete!!)

The Start Menu issue where you press the Start Menu and nothing happens when it's already open happens because the new Start Menu is simply an EXE that loads CHome components. When you click the Start Menu again, it just opens the Start Menu again. It's not a major issue, but will probably be fixed in the official release of WM6.5.
Now reorganizing the Start Menu is a simple task of editing an XML file that controls the icons and their positioning. After the official release, I guarantee you that there will be somebody that creates a utility to do this with an even greater ease.
Now when you see bugs like that in prerelease software, you know they will be fixed because these small things were in the prerelease of 6.1 and they got fixed as well so rest assured .
huh I'm late for the new class ...congratulations Mod. I hope all scattered WM6.5 tweaks and know-how things can be centered here

Actually, I just notified the theme thread guys.
This thread is going to be for non-theme hacks with CHome and the etc. Those threads are going to be for theming CHome. It's actually a very effective system if I don't say so myself
Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes
As windows mobile system themes (.tsk files) become more prevalent in version 6.5, i imagine more people will want to use them. I have put together a small list of threads i have found on xda which have several themes in them you can choose from:
Themes for everyone
QVGA Themes
phoenixgck's collection
Themes "how-to" and development:
The Dev and Hacking Thread
"How to Make a Theme"
You can find the theme i am using in my screenshots (for QVGA devices) here.

Hey that's my post!
Dear "Gods of customization"
i really praise you all for the excellent work. many time i keep reading your threads and forget the work in my hands. i am very much new to WM and i am in need of some help.
I am developing a theme for titanium homescreen. In my theme i want to have a fixed area which holds the shortcuts for the most frequently used applications . i tried changing the Titanium CPR file as shown below:

I dont know if my approach is right or wrong but this change is not creating 2 listviews.
After exiting iGO the system power backlight setting goes to minimal (10 secs). Because of this issue, i re-set the backlight dim interval to 30 secs every time i exit the iGO.
I tried many sys.txt tricks but no success.
Is anyone else having this?
Had the same issue. To fix this you have to edit both sys.txt files that are located on your device...
If you solved it can you share your sys.txt please?
take a look in your data.zip and search in config/devices the Touch Diamond II.inf file and replace it with this one.
also use this sys setings, remember to change your storage settings in [folders] and you have to change your SYS also on your device.

iGO isn't able to detect the proper device type with WM 6.5 ROM (as it seemed to me).
Adding the following entry to the SYS.TXT solved the issue for me:
[device]
type="Touch Diamond II"

@McRIP thanks for the amazing tip. I took a look into the data.zip and opened the .ini file that you have mendioned. So my sys.txt look like this after editing and it works perfect.
