Im searching for the original transparent QVGA waitcursor. Please post .dll or .cab (or whatever file that will solve it)
(I installed .cab with new taskbar, wich is very nice, but i don't like the vista waitcursor that's included)
Just uninstall the the new taskbar.
Take the resource "shellres.96.dll" with ROMExtractor "attached"
Then you will want to extract the resources it's about 16 .bmp's
All info regards inserting into the new shellres.96.dll [TUT] Editing Resources .dll etc
Need any help feel free to PM.
thanks alot!
i know this post is old but i am in the same situation. just want my original 6.5 wait cursur back.
i have mcsilver color taskbar.
the only thing is, i cant extract, or edit or do any of the stuff you guys can...
since you already went through this.. is there anyway you can make it much easier for me to change mine? like a cab or something ?

Im looking for any information you can provide on how to modify the graphics for the CommManager. Anyone able to link would definately be my hero. LOL. Thanks in advance.
The way I did it was I copied all the image files from the windows folder on my phone over to my computer and then went through them and found the ones that belonged to the commanager and then modified them to the way I wanted them to look and then put them back to replace the old ones. Hopefully you're good at graphics because it took me a few days to redo mine since I kind of suck at it.

Can you post a pic of yours for us
If possible, can you tell us the name of the file you modified....thanks
For the 8, 9, and 10 button touch style commManager from the Kaiser that I've been using, the Background is BG.png and L_BG.png .
Looking at packages for the standard Wizard commManager, it looks like the graphics are in the Res DLL file. You can use the ResHacker tool in the Core Kitchen to view and edit this (in theory).
When i go through the rom i find no images for the CommManager, when i open the CommManager dll There are resources in there, but When i try to replace those, I get an error about it not being signed.
So what do we do here, is there any registry key like with the phone dialer that can tell it where to get the graphics?
In the HyperCore Kitchen there is a signer program and some files for it. I haven't figured that part out myself yet, but maybe ask anichillus for the steps.

It's easy , just start the signer ...and it will guide you. I had a tutorial on my website...but....my favorite saying in English : "$#it happens"
For a good resource tool, i recommend Restorator 2007....but it's not free

The one I changed was the 8 button commanager that mfrazzz used in XM6 the first edition (the gray gradient touch looking one) and all of the images were in the in the windows folder. The names of them were 0_on, 1_on ..., 0_off, 1_off..., 0_dis, 1_dis ..., 0_dn, 1_dn..., L_8_dn, L_4_dn etc, etc. Unfortunately I haven't used that commanager since I had XM6 on my phone and I didn't get a screenshot of it, but here's a couple of buttons that I made for it (I made 2 different versions, one black and one with a green - black gradient).
I just checked and I installed the 10 button black commanager on my newest ROM and all of the image files for it are also in the windows folder. - nevermind, I forgot that when I cooked this ROM it actually had a 10 button version of the same commanger that I mentioned above and I installed the 10 button black one later. The images that I saw listed in the windows folder were the ones for the one that was on there first.
I guess if you want to edit a commanager that you don't have to edit a .dll file to change then use that one.
Hi
Sorry for what I hope is not a silly question, but is it possible to extract the resources from the mtoday cab and recompile it with different icons? mtoday currently comes as a cab file, but after googling I couldn't find much info on windows mobile cabs (only desktop windows cabs)
The icons on changing today screens are a bit naff, so I'd like to customise this.
If this is possible, please let me know.
Cheers
Jon

Well..... wrong place to post this but, it either needs to be cooked into the ROM or you can buy Wisbar advanced!
Actually it doesn't need to be cooked in. You need resco explorer and the DLL/MUI/BMP files. use active sync to copy them to your cell to like your "My Documents Folder and the use Resco explorer to copy them to your /windows directly. You'll need to run SDKcert and a registry fix cab first though for the new files to work. Everything is in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437307. Make sure the onces you download are qvga though. That thread is for a vga device and most files are in VGA format. I've been playing around with them already.
Cab file

I have been searching for the past 15 minutes but can't find the answer! What do you use to make 6.5.x themes?

Chome visual editor only is for edit , search and use this , i used this for my works
I want to edit things like scrollbars, highlights, softkey backgrounds. This doesn't seem to do it.
Find a WM6.5.X theme file. Rename to *.cab. Extract reg, and use that as your base. Prefer classicblue myself. Now get a pic you want, convert to your resolutions, create a cab with it, and insert reg!
EDIT: If you search using the link in my sign, you will find the answers. It has been discussed in detail before.
I just figured it out that tsk files are actually cabs as you posted this! Wow, in all my years with Windows Mobile I never knew that!
How to "extract reg"??

Aaaaaayyyyyyyyy friend, I believed that you were speaking about the titanium, it(he,she) takes this, is to make and to modify, TSK
If it is it for what you look say it to me to know, thank you

It doesn't work properly for WM6.5.x.
Use WinCE CAB Manager to open the CAB of any theme you like and replace the graphic files with your own. You can also edit the TSK, if you want. Just learn by doing, I figured it this way as well .
This is my basic lesson of titanium, this one in Spanish

Moved as not theme release..
i want to try to make a windows xp theme for 6.5.X.
i thought, that would be cool, because the start button is on the lower taskbar..
i have a strong opinion of how it will look like, but i don´t know anything about creating themes for windows phone..
what programs can i use for creating this? i have read about microsoft custom theme creator, but when i load it, it says: there aren´t any windows phone 6.5 pro devices for your locale...
and i can´t load it..
what do all the others use for creating themes???
after i made 1 version for VGA, i will try to create all the other versions!
thanks, Downlord
You should first find all the files that you want to skin and then use a program like GIMP to mod or create your the files for your theme.
I think it's a great idea, too bad you are a bit late Check this http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7848598&postcount=2
hm, looks cool, i didn´t knew it, ill try it!
but i thought of something thats really a theme for 6.5.X, and i want to know in general, with which program i can make those themes..

/windows on your phone .
The easiest way is to download someone else's theme and see what files they skinned. You can then modify those ones or find the stock ones in your kitchen ( or /windows on your phone). You can edit manila graphics with cfcgui by Chainfire. Some things are just png's/bmp's/etc. for windows tsk's, but you also control some system colors in the registry (changed when you change a tsk).
You should really change your title to Question??? or something. Right now it looks like you make a theme for every device (except maybe hvga), and it sounds like you have a while before it will be complete.
waiting for qvga
how can i change it to a question??
