Today Font Colour

Hi,
Is there a way to change the color of the font used on the "Today" screen?
I have searched for this thinking that someone would already've asked the question but couldn't fine anything on it.
many thanks,
lstocky
Keep looking.
You have to use a program that generates today screen themes...covered SOOOO many times in the past.
If for some strange reason you can't find it here, try on google for "pocket pc" today theme
Cheers
Ant
thanx for coming back on that.

Crossbow Fonts

Hi, I'd like to make my fonts look like the ones that they advertise with the crossbow. I mean i'd like to have my whole system with those fonts but i don't know how. I've done tons of searching but i could not find anything that would help me change the fonts of my whole system (unless i build my own rom with those fonts but that's too complicated for me). Is there another way? i've found some threads that's suppose to change the fonts but it messed up my fone, others do not change the whole system but just some fonts. All WM6 roms that i've used do not have those fonts that I'm talking about. I'd like to make it like the fonts on this picture. Can someone help me please?
Is there anyone out there who can help/suggest something/make me read another thread/tell me it's not possible/whatever...?anyone?

I don´t think it is so easy - but what about cleartype. The font doesn´t look so different for me. Just cleartype?? Don´t know.
Start - settings - screen - enable cleartype.
And there are registry hacks to enable it also in landscape mode. (Registrywizard or HTweakC)
thanks, but i already have cleartype on. not quite the same but i really appreciate ur reply. With over 240+ views, i finally received a reply. At least i can say ur one of the few people out there who genuinely lend a helping hand to others. I really appreciate it thanks again
Looking at the screengrabs I think they're from a VGA device (a HTC Universal for example), which is why the fonts looks slightly smoother and more rounded. The font on the XDA Exec I borrowed looked a lot nicer than my XDA Mini-S just because it was higher res, despite the actual screen real-estate being used in the same way (IE. although the screen was higher res, everything was larger to compensate). The effect I saw looked just like in some of your screenshots - particularly the first portrait one.
thanks paulmdx!i guess that explains it. it probably looks different because of the vga screen.Thanks, i guess i'll just have to give up on wishing that my fonts be like that
Sorry for my late response...I was suppose to reply back to you after you reminded me that the fonts could be changed...I managed to change the fonts by adding the files to the font folder in the \windows\fonts directory...the extention you are looking for is .ttf...I tried to use a font with a different extention and it didn't work...also if you are looking for fonts then your best bet is http://dafont.com ...they have the best looking fonts, and they have popular fonts used in movies, video games, etc...the one that I am running is aiight, and the one that i put on my girl's is the Walt Disney font...one more thing, after you put the fonts on your ppc you will need to have a program to change the font for you, or you'll need to either change some registry key to enable it (I don't know the keys), or use a program like Tweaks2k2.net to change it...it's not a free program, but you'll be able to use the program 3 times before you have to register it...I don't if you were looking for the font used in WM6 or you were looking for a way to change fonts on the ppc, but anyways here's some info for those who wanted to do this...
Btw this only changes some fonts, but not all of them...it's better this way just in case you put a font that is blurry, too small, etc...while I was trying out fonts for my girl's phone, this happened to me...if all the fonts on the ppc were changed, I wouldn't have been able to find the options easily to change the font...looks awesome though...even my keyboard font changed...my cousin said I'm ghetto because my font looks like tagging lol...
Missing font!
While we are on this topic.....Some of my fonts are messed up!
I installed the 10 button Comm Manager and couldn't get the WLAN to activate. I then went back to the 8 button Comm Manager. Later I found a fix for the 10 and uninstalled the 8. When I did it messed up my fonts. Does anyone have the stock fonts they can send me?

Chome Weather 2.0

FYI, CHome Weather 2.0 works on the VOX. Please follow the link to see the original thread in the Excalibur forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396068
And click here to download the files needed for the Vox.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2250095&postcount=43
Hello...just downloaded this version of CHome Weather and it looks amazing...great job. There's only one problem, probably related to the 240x320 cpr file because, like I already read in the excalibur forum, there's an issue in 240x320 where the background looks a little odd and doesn't fit the area like it supposed to. But again amazing job...keep it up
EDIT: I've just used a version of the 240 x 320 cpr file already used in another version of your plugin and it works great now
I was just now testing the other layouts and there are some issues:
- I realized that everytime i change the layout, it doesn't matter the cpr 240x320 file i did put there because when the layout is changed the cpr file is kind of replaced by the one corresponding to the sellected layout.
- In the HTC and Iphone layout, it shows always an icon with a cross below the icon of the current weather, instead of showing the icon corresponding to the weather.
- In regular layout, the gold and silver backgrounds don't work well in 320 x 240.
- In the regular layout, in the 1 and 3 layouts, I can't see the hi and low temperature.
Yeah, you'll have problems with the portrait layouts.
Is it possible to fix the problem with portrait?? That is the last thing, that keeps me from donating.
I am so happy with this program. I worked as Organic M's test subject to get this working. I can't say I notice the problem you guys are talking about in regards to portrait mode.
This is what I see:
have the author, removed the files from the location... I am unable to get those...
Can someone help plzzzzzzz!!!!!!!
Thanks

There are 2 links in the main post at the top of this thread.
The first one is the weather program
The second one is all the files that need to be installed to /windows on your device
Davis,
From your post, it looks like that screen is in ladscape mode. Portrait is taller than wider, yours looks wider than it is taller.
Thanks a lot.. I found the same at the post. I was just eager to get Weather update on my VOX...So got carried away...
Thanks

Well if you put it that way, you'll definitely NOT get me to fix the portrait layouts. How about.. "here's a small donation and small request... I would really appreciate it if you could work on the portrait layouts(which is a major PITA) so this works properly on my phone".
Well then I Only wanted to know if it is possible to do it. But I can live without it. I can look outside to see the weather. You know I made a lot of stuff for the Vox...but I never received ANY donation!!!
works beatifull. got no issues with any layout (i'm using plain black background). excellent job!
the only question i have is if it is possible to manually edit order of appearance on home screen somehow as i could do it in standard homescreens in _home.xml file?

This is definitely NOT what I wanted to happen here. I worked with Organic M to get this app to work with our phone models and he was nice enough to help us out.
This is far from the thanks that he deserves, since the app is designed for an entirely different model.
Why so serious? can't we all just... get along?

I think the Chome Configurator will allow you to change the order of Slides on your Home Screen.

I have no idea what you are talking about....
???
As I said I only wanted to know if it is posible nothing more. And I just wanted to clarify that people here are not thankful! I really do apreciate his work. And the work of all the other coders and cookers! I hope you understand my point!
Does this plugin use necessarily the whole width of the screen, or is it possible to customize its size or layout (present conditions, 2-days forecasts, 5-days forecasts...)?
At present I'm using Fizz Weather with Orange plugin on my Wings, in order to show an analoug clock and weather forecasts next to it (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=89987&d=1212446950); will it be possible to make the same thing with Chome Weather?
So... is anyone still interested in making this work better with the Vox ? Maybe ask some of your ROM cookers to look at the policies in the registry and ask them remove the restricts that don't allow cab files to copy files to the \windows directory ? Then I wouldn't have to make two separate .cab files when I released a new version That, and if anybody wants to help test the portrait layouts, we can make this happen.
Yes it would be great to see the weather plugin fully working on the Vox...that thing about the restrictions I never understood that because after checking myself the registry many times, I saw that the restrictions were disabled and the thing about installing files in the windows folder still remains a problem...

(Request) Programs i wish existed !

hey everyone just thought id bring some of my program ideas to the board
if anyone is interested in making them as i have no programming knolage..
ok the 1st is a wmp skin creator i have searched since wm3 was out for something like this but never found it i mean common its only a skn file thats got text in it shud be easy iv got lots of skin ideas but just dont have time to finish them as it took me ages to make my darkling skin
ok the 2nd green one is a Pen Optimized Skin for Longhorn-era Tablet PCs wich i think is realy cool ui (winhec today)
so i developed on the idea and tryed making it more pda/ppc related
and came up with the end 3 images.
and my last idea was a origami umpc style fullscreen keyboard
i was going to make this in spb fsk but recently all the codeing has
changed for the skins so im hoping someone can come up with
an alternative hopefully free version or even make this ?
let me know what you think of these ideas.
I like your keyboard idea. Its a really interesting form.
It should be a little smaller though.
I'm thinking as an option, that the keyboard should be split in the middle to reduce the size, with no symbols showing
I also like your 3rd idea.
I haven't used ThrottleLauncher, but it seems like it would be a good skin for it.
I'm not a programmer either, I just like to design stuff, think of program ideas too.
more then a whole year and no one found anything,or didnt post..
I'm liking the keyboard layout too.
im working on he keyboard idea but will be for Wvga as anything smaller would be silly i think

White background/black font on Today Screen

Hello!
It's very difficult to read the Today Screen on the Topaz in bright sunlight. I have searched and searched again for a solution on XDA-Developers and the internet as such, but I found nothing. Actually, there's very little discussion about this problem. I find that a bit strange since this isn't only a cosmetic thing; the issue actually has consequences for the practical use of the device.
So, I ask you guys if anyone is working on this problem? Or perhaps I'm the only one who regards the white font as a problem? There must be some way to get black font on the Today Screen? Perhaps there already is a solution out there that I haven't found?
I hope someone knows the solution to my problem!
Kind regards
Eiliv
P.S. I have tried Max TF3D Theme Maker, but that doesn't seem to work.
You can change today text color in SKTools (download free trial). It is in Tune Up - Colors.
But if you mean manila - I don't use it so I don't know how to change it
Yes, sorry, I mean the Today Screen / Home Screen in Manila...
Eiliv
I agree. It would be great to change at least the colours !
You must take the TF3d manila Files oft the Vodafone D2! White Screen with black letters...
Well, great! But how? Where? I've done a search for Vodafone D2, and the only relevant post I can find points to ppc.ch which seems to be a german site (greek to me)...
Can you please point me in the right direction?
Eil
this is the first bit of what ive found: http://www.smartphonejunkie.com/tutorial-how-change-t174799.html?t=174799
i havent tried that yet...so feel free to leme know how it works)
Blackstone theme seem to work (not tried yet), but check this one out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480373
Nice Theme, but to install this one, I need TF3d Config...btw. this program isn't working on the D2...
What can we do?
