Creating Themes? - General Questions and Answers

Hi I was wondering if there was a tutorial anywhere for creating windows mobile 6.5.1 themes?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

First of all... you need WinCE CAB Manager to edit CAB and TSK files. Then, you need some graphics editing skills (Photoshop/GIMP/Paint.NET). Just download any themes you like, open the CAB and replace the images you want to change with your own ones. If you want to change the file names, you have to edit the registry values in the TSK as well .
Also, all questions should be asked in the Q&A section; I predict this thread will be moved there in a few minutes like magic .

manila 2d

Hi I've installed manila 2D on my omnia i910 and I like it a lot. Was wondering were I could get nice skins....and well I have only 15 MG left......
M2D skinning thread from xda-devs or M2D-Omnia from modaco
Thank you so much ! I was kinda lost and couldn't find as many as I liked !
How ???
Yep.....I have no idea how to install them....got a bunch that look pretty nice, but I can't find a theme or skin folder to unzip them in ???? And of course a .cab would be the best for an unknowing dude like me !
most of skins from xda-devs thread are not from your device resolution. Try to search zubnik's skin from that thread, i think that he's using omnia. Maybe u can PM him/her to post skin that u like.
if u have zip file, u have to extract it and send the files to windows folder.
if u have m2dct file format, u need Manilla2d Customizer (read the 1st post from that thread). Or u can also rename .m2dct into .rar, extract it and send the files manually to windows folder
.cab file format? it would be easier coz u only need to run it from your device
good luck
thank you very much for the great info !!!!

Why would you need in as a cab?? Themes are .tsk and it you click on it in file explorer will install just like a cab. If you really want this just change the file extension from .tsk to .cab, it'll work fine.
many themes if you use Search
a couple of themes I made are in my signature

help me to create registry and cook it

i have confusion from begining..
how to create registry and by which program?
how to cook it in rom?
i have read mr. makk tut.. but its just highlight..
i want step by step proced.. or something near to it..plz help..
no one?.......
Software you place in the kitchen will have a app.reg to which can just be edited, if it's system changes you want to make or if you just don't want to dig in the kitchen you can export reg & make .cab with all reg edits and add to customization "OperatorPkg\ExtendedPKG"
i get some idea but still need some more info..
Your first question answered. Or you use SK-Tools it exports registry and can create a cab!
To get it into rom you need a kitchen.
Simple isn't it?

Though for another phone as yours currently, this Rollup is an excellent HTC FAQ IMHO. It'll give you a very good overall impression.
When you too are in cooking ROM's then this thread 'll interest you!
When you PgDn you'll see Extendir Cabs a very nice CAB utility.

Why don't you just delete the dlls that controls the taskbar. It'll restore ROM original.

It sounds like you are trying to go back to the original taskbar which no one that I know of has created a cab for. You may be best served by going back the the thread you downloaded the ROM from and ask the chef if s/he has the original unmodified .dll files so you can just copy them in.

i'm agree with you but the chef haven't the source files it's the reason whry i look for files i found shellres.dll, shellres.192.dll and bronzeres but miss other... so i hope someone have files and could give it to me.
