Smaller, but still finger friendly, menus for Treo Pro! - Palm Treo Pro ROM Development

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... :-\

That's not true, I think... I have the crossbow theme por WM5 and yes, it works in WM6, but the top and bottom bars don't have the effect of other WM6 themes
odd i used alot of wm2003 themes and they get the wm5 top and buttom bars without any probs
yes, but wm2003 and wm5 don't have that sort of 3D top and bottom bars like wm6...
Can some upload this theme please?

Its probably white because you haven't fixed the transparency level. After you chose the picture and set it as your today background, make sure you change the transparency level and set it to zero.

open the picture that you would want as a background .
click on menu > Set as Today Background
it will give you the option to change the transparency level.

ok when i put a tsk file on my phone where do i put it? can i leeave it on my storage card? if noty can someone send tell me where i have to place it thanx
You should be able to put them on the root of your sd card, but that seems to be dependent on what phone you have. Try it and see if it shows up in your themes, if not then you might have to put them in your windows folder.

[THEME] Black & White Slider Icons (standart icons for Leo's Manila)

Hello. There are many cool themes out there, but I found a lack of themes to change the slider icons of Manila. I searched everywhere for this, but I couldn't find it so I made it myself.
Since the homescreen of Manila is pretty much black & white but those colourful icons really bugged me especially with that terrible green, I really wanted those stock icons to be black & white too. I changed the icons and made a *.cab for this.
Feel free to use this theme if you like it. Note that it will only change the icons of the slider nothing else.

INSTALLATION & DEINSTALLATION
=========================
1) Copy the *.cab to your storage card and execute it on your phone.
2) Install it to your device space, not to your storage card!
3) Soft-reset your device.
4) Enjoy!
To uninstall just normally deinstall this application via list of installed applications where you deinstall programs. The Icons will be like they were before again.
I hope you like it.
lovely, thanks. i've been searching for this for a while. personally, i don't like those colorful stock tabs, too.
thanks and i'll give it a try
Sorry. But I had already put myself available to icons!

Oh, sorry about that. I pretty much searched for hours on the leo boards, but somehow didn't find these. I used the rest of the day to find out how to extract the files from the device and edit them. :/
But since your cab seems to change more things than mine, maybe not all of my work was in vain.

Could you turn your expert theming hand to making the highlight on the normal one green, instead of orange. I like the original apart from that (this is great too btw, just not to my taste)

Attach the colour png u like and i put in the apk.
great job on this. might have a request for you since i had some trouble with signing the apk when i tried. that and i'm kinda hesitant to do it since i know he's going to have a new update sometime soon and doing this means i get to remake all my links lol
That makes this launcher look 10 times better than original....good job
Anyway you could theme the icons using this set: http://www.iconspedia.com/pack/blossom-24-/
Or teach me how?

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.

Get nicer folders without changing theme

I got an S10+ and want to use the dark mode. As you know, the dark mode won't work with themes.
One workaround would be to get a dark theme but the downside is that since you can't use dark mode, lots of apps won't be able to run in dark mode.
Here's the dark theme I tried and loved:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So I thought about using Samsung's theme with dark wallpaper.
The only issue with Samsung's theme is that I hate the default icons.
So I found that you can download and install only a custom icon pack and still have the dark mode on. Found an icon pack I liked. Great.
The issue now is that the FOLDERS on the home page look hideous and don't flow with the look.
Take a look at the four folders on the home page and compare them to how the folders look in the previous screenshot with the theme.
Is there any way to get the folders to look nicer without installing a custom theme?

Ok, I looked at it. All the themes I saw require a different launcher. I tried Nova but wasn't happy with it.
You can still edit the folder background color from inside the folder. (next to were you name the folder)
