^_^ well, im in the process of learning about making themes... and I wanted to share what i have so far.
these all support landscape. They are QVGA.
(I did not draw these... I only made the themes.)
im still struggling with getting the Start menu text from white to black upon changing a theme... Is there a way for this to be done automaticly instead of with a reg tweek on the end user's side? ...
hmm...
*******edit update: whoa! the setting to change start menu colors was right in my face. wow... so im fixing all the ones that need fixed. *done*
Download my all tasks made before 12-21-2006...
(including, christmas and recently fixed versions)
all the others will be posted throughout this thread.
***yet another edit...
I set up a page with my themes located:
http://ookami.n2-network.com/pda/index.html
Feel free to download from there ^
any christmas themed-anime-theme? something in red-white-green would be fine
ah sure ^_^ I didnt make any because Its so close to being over with the season. But yeah, not a problem. As soon as i get home today. Looking forward to it.
These themes are really good, 0okami. I'm using the nekomimi theme now. But you are right that it'd be nice to see the text in black in some of the others.
Must a say nice work !!! Keep it up !
I've got this image.. but lazy to do a tsk. See if you can use it. (PNG in ZIP attcahed)
UPDATE: TSK uploaded. Frosty effect on the start menu. Made the tsk a bit way too big though.
Guys, I'm sure it doesn't need to be said, but try not to go too explicit/hardcore. Ie nothing with four legs or feathers... otherwise, please use your own judgement.

All things said, here are some more themes for you:
the first one suffers from the same as the other light color ones... the start menu's white text...
Which software package do you use to make these themes, 0okami?
Quite cute!
ennui: isn't it themegence?

I gota admit, I love some of these themes. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to seeing more!
These are really nice Ookami! Keep up the wonderful work ^_^
I understand which one vijay555 decided to give his warning about. Dp_moe_2 I have that image as one of the 2000 or so images that are randomly selected for my computer's wallpaper ^_^ I also like the xmas ones. It's too bad that the memory in the 8125 is so small since I can't store themes on the storage card >_<

*taken down for a moment. * issue with bg and messages. looks terrible.
*updated... fixed as of 7:27pm.
Guys, just to re-iterate, I love this work. Try not to go too explicit or you'll get Flar on your tail, but otherwise, great work.

i decided to have some new splashs for TNT series but with high quality graphics, so i need your help.
2 pictures are needed, one for the welcome logo, and the second for splash screen
Welcome Logo:
size 320*320, and type on it windows mobile 6 professional
Splash Screen:
size 320*240 and type TNT Series by its right (don't right wizard, becasue it will be used on other devices).
in general the black color is prefered on the other colors
thanks and waiting for the great designs.
when i get home from the office i can make one
I think nothin can help you out a lot! He's the one!
Badbert have been making a good work also! Contact [email protected]
BTW, new designs would be nice!!
Can you give me an idea of what your looking for?
What my dead line?
What our dead-line?
I was bored so I thought I'd give this a try. I didn't create the image, I found it on deviant art and modified it a bit.
thanks for all

thanks for helping man
Here's my contribution. If you have another specific idea please feel free to post and I will try something different. Just and FYI for anyone who ever wonders what font Microsoft uses it's Franklin Gothic...

Sysgod, i like it... but my opinion isnt much =\ Lots 0 gold... pretty pimpy.
Sysgod said:

this is the best till now
create something for Welcome picture too
but, try to make the text aligned to the left (so keep blank on the right) because the size 320*320 is used to be suitable for landscape too, so we have to make the text not to the center, try to make it on the top and left little bit.
did you understand me, or show you an example??
Ok, I have 2 relatively stupid questions. The first is what exactly is a bump logo? And the second is how does Sysgod get his images to load in the post like that? Is that done using the insert image button? I would try it out to see, but I don't have an account anywhere to upload it to an HTTP source.
Ok here is a Welcome Screen image that I edited, shifted to the left. Is this what you were talking about?
xeno1, you have to have someplace to upload them. If you don't have access to a site then use a free service like imageshack or something similar and just post the link to the image with the image icon in the reply menu.

yes, but also needs to be shifted to the top, and think again about the text size.
i suggest to move the windows logo down and the text to the top, imagine that the device is moving from portrait to landscape and the opposite . so i hope it will be suitable, if you want to get more clear, look at welcomehead.96.png in your windows directory (in case it is on 320*320 size)
thanks for the good work
Ok, I think I understand what your talking about. How's this?

It's been a long minute since I posted one of these thingies. It's been like what, 6 months? Hehe I've been lagging on the new builds, sorry folks for not making a manilla release of my earlier work... my bad. The new kitchen ivanmmj put out is pretty chill and that's what I used to cook this bad boy up. As usual, it's RUU friendly.
20.18 MB RAM
36.95 MB storage
Build 28205... If anyone knows of a cleaner build, lemme know
Apps included
Xtask - mapped to the button that used to be the comm manager for easy task switching
Opera Mini 5 [not the beta] with Jbed
Nice for certain folks to get to crackin on TCPMP again, always loved that app and now it's leaner, meaner, and skinned hehe thanks bimbam69
Total Commander
Arcsoft MMS 5.2.8.45
XDA Shutdown
I decided to theme this bad boy fingerkb got upgraded to Swype, this one's pimpin Xpressyourcell's dusk blue skin scaled down to qvga, and for kicks n giggles I preloaded the dictionary with some basic swear words, so you can be cussing like a sailor right from the get go!
JWMD Icon Changer is also here as well, it has dZenkinZ icon set loaded on there, my bad for forgetting the start menu selection, that was from another theme.
I modified my shellres.96.dll file and ripped out the icons from tacchan23's dusk taskbar, and someone's android taskbar (I can't remember for the life of me it was a whiles ago), resized some and replaced just a couple.
This is also using DJ Cedric Blue Carbon titanium replacement, plus some of the icons were thrown into my shellres.96.dll
Oh yea... the start button is also a bit different, I don't like the M$ logo, what can I say?
I finally got how to proprely set a default theme upon cooking and this one is using lyapa's Azenisll theme. It's pretty sick in my book. I did some slight touching up on a couple of icons within it.
The lockscreen is skinned grzegorz10's dusk lock screen.
Still using the old school 8 button touch comm manager from my previous build, but I threw in some color, same dialer as before, nothing new there.
The boot screen does not lampoon the "president" of the United States any more. The welcomehead96 is filled with such evil I cannot describe it here but you can view the thumbnail below. I'll say it once and I'll say it again, Steve Jobs is a **** and the animated splash screen shows Apple what I think of their products. My bad for not being able to cite the artist offhand, but all credits go out to him/her.
All picture files were resized to the original size came from the kitchen and given the original file names, as were the icons in the shellres.96.dll to save on space and to alleviate any potential issues.

hehe memory leaks come pretty much standard with winmo, I don't think it's as bad as it could be... Oxios works great for cleaning up the memory leak... perhaps I should include it in the next one.
Glad to see you back.
So what was the motive to use 28205?

Flash method
Hello Gonz0
Can this ROM be flashed using the Flash Center? I'm new to all of this and I'm not going to try to act like I know what I'm doing. I flashed my phone (Wing) once and was totally surprised when it worked. I want to try it again. Let me know. Thanks.
hehe yea, go for it man, it'll work with flash center; go for it...
Haven't tried the SD method myself with it coz I've only got SDHC... (8 GB oh no!!!)
Only reason I haven't made any of those slim roms with sick amounts of extra space is coz of that. Lousy flash center and your f*&#[email protected] 50MB limitation. If only knew more on hex-editing.
My bad I'm ranting there but to answer your question; yes.
I tried to use the flash center, but it wouldn't work. Is there another way to flash this ROM. Remember, I don't know anything and will need some instruction. Thanks in advance.
Have you tried running it as an administrator?
If so; your next best bet would be to do a hard SPL on your phone, info on that can be found here:
http://thewingster.com/Documents/How to HardSPL (Wing-Herald).pdf
After you do that, you can just run the RUU flasher with the ROM in the same folder and u will be good... no more flash center
Sorry for the late responses. Are you referring to administrator on the pc? If so then yes. The phone, then I wouldn't have a clue. Let me know, thanks.
Yep, run as admin on ur pc... don't worry about the lag, don't think XDA isn't going anywhere anytime soon
Thanks - great ROM
Hi,
Thanks for this ROM. The wing has been stable so far since I moved to this ROM. The only thing I dislike about the ROM is the childish start-button (yes, I know you hate the Windows logo there). Any way to change it to some other icon?
Keep developing.... Us "wingers" depend on cooks like you to have a "current" phone... Thank you!

hehe I feel yah the start button is a bit childish to some, now if you wanna change it here's the hoops youre going to have to jump through
grab your shellres.96.dll file from ur /windows folder and drop it on ur PC
I am going from pure memory here but you'll need to find an app to remove M$'s digital signature on the file B$. You'll want to head to the link below to grab the tools.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432041
Once you have that, use a resource editor like reshack to crack open your .dll file, once in there just navigate the tree until you find the icon to replace. For the start button in particular you will want to ensure your image is 24x24 and in .ico format.
you can find reshack over here
http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/
Once you replace that image you'll want to re-sign the file. After that's done put the file back on ur fone; you may need to use total commander to drop the newly edited file back in your /windows folder.
Reboot and one of two things will happen, you'll have whatever siiiiiick icon you put wherevers, or your phone will catch fire... j/k hehe

Thanks for the guidance. The "your phone will catch fire" part has me worried. Any way, it looks like a lot of hoops to jump through. I'll pass on this one. The smiley it is for now!
One more update, the dialer is a hit-and-miss thing. When you tap numbers, it is supposed to match contacts that has those letters, like "Ann" if you type "2-6-6". Sometimes it pulls up the contacts, and some other times no! Trying to replace the dialer. Took "TPC's Customized Black Mega Phone Canvas" dialer from forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547959 - and after a few reboots.. it works! Had to remove my SD card to get it to boot the first time after installing the CAB.

hehe NP on passing the info, I didn't pay for it so why should you? That Mega Phone Canvas dialer looks sick and I did kinda make my own skin for it, only reason why I didn't use that in my release was due to the lack of "landscape love". If anyone knows of a phone canvas that's landscape friendly let me know. Was just joking on the catching fire part, my bad on that. Although modifying system files can seem not for the squeamish although it's not as hard as you think... grab on and slam into it head first!
update: Dug deeper in that post and found something that is landscape friendly... I knew there was something like that out there SUHWEET! Good lookin out on the link unfunda, as for the contacts matter, my bad... I have a few more voodoo rituals to perform on this next ROM i'm working on... stay tuned ppl
I just tried to modify my softkeybar by changing some colours around, saved the file as a .png with the same dimensions and such like, copied it back to the device and when I restarted the softkey bar was all kind of fragmented and multicolured.
Could anyone tell me what I've done wrong......
I know its something stupid but I'm having one of those days.
Thanks

Without knowing exactly what you did, it is hard to know what you may have done wrong.
If you use a copy of the original as a template, then you should be good to go as all the parameters will still be present.
If at first you don't succeed... cheat.
Thats exactly what I did.
Opened up the file i got from here....
changed one colour........
saved the file.........
Il post the files here in case that helps.
The one with the green is the original I got from XDA, I just changed it to blue but it didnt work for some reason.
Weird, which image editor are you using?
I did the same using Photoshop CS4, using the exact same bar as you and here it is below. Try it on your phone to see if it is your image that is messed up or whether your phone just isn't displaying it correctly.
I've just realised what you have done. Your image is resized... if you open it up to view it, it is tiny. That's why it is pixelated as it is being stretched to display in your phone.
Try again and make sure you keep the correct image size
Ahhhh, I told you it was something stupid but I didnt think it was that stupid....
Thanks man much appreciated.
Original are H E R E in post #2
Thx 4 using
Thanks matt, couldnt remember which thread I'd got them from.
Must be the ****ty software Im using because the dimensions are ok and its still happening.
Solved: Works Ok using good old fashioned MS Paint, I think bit depth was the problem...
Thanks again for your help guys!!!
i've searched everywhere for some nice digital clocks, but everyone creates clocks with some really wierd fonts, or colors that isnt really my taste. So, i made a "concept art" of how a digital clock id like to use look like. (see attachments)
The clock has to be adjustable via CHT (i mean being able to move it around like the normal manila digital clock), so that i can use it in all screens, (Home , all levels, and lockscreen).
Anyone knows if anything like this exists?
if not, anyone willing to make it?
i used the font known as "Segoe UI" (light). Also, if possible, id like some extra versions of it, like the fonts being black instead of white, and an other one with having that black transparent panel behind the clock, using white for the fonts.
PS1:i know that the clock im thinking about looks horrible with the current looks of my phone, but i cant be arsed to change anything until i find a proper clock
PS2: i also know that theres a cab that removes the white panels behind the manila numbers of the clock. The thing is that, without it, the numbers got a little gap between them, looking ugly imo
I basically achieve this by mixing two cabs I've found here in xda
one is called
[Star] Segoe UI light clock charecters White.cab
and the other one is
Transparent Clock flippers.cab
you can find them here on xda posted by their respective authors.
edit: oh I forgot! you can use
transparent clock background.cab to get the effect you want
awesome! thanks a lot for ur reply!
Yeah use my cabs, but you will still get the lines its inevitable when you remove the clock flippers man
ah shame. i thought that ppl let those gaps there, so that the "flip" of the numbers looked better
excellent work with those cabs btw, they were exactly what i needed
I would love a clock like this also. Shame nobody wants to make it without the lines (from the flippers).
Having the lines kills the elegancy of it.
Hi everyone,
I get a solution to fix the problem with the flip lines but you have to be very carefully 'coz it's a bit risky...don't be panic, it works for me perfectly without problem and it would work for you guys too, just follow the instruction
1. Make a backup of the 7c60907d_manila go to your /windows directory and find that file, copy and paste it in your SD card.
2. Download the attached rar. file to your PC, extract the file and save the folder "NoFlipLIne" in your SD card
3. Using Total Commander or File Resco, go to your SD card and open the folder "NoFlipLine" and copy the manila file and paste it into your /Windows directory and accept overwrite (don't worry, you have a backup in case something go wrong)
4. Now reset Sence or restart your phone (as you prefer) and see if you like the magic
Also this manila file has a fix to get installed up to 20 CHT widgets too.
In case of any problem, just find your backed up original file and reinstall it back.
Remember, that works perfectly in my device, but I will not be responsible if it does not work well on yours or cause any other problems, so use it at your own risk
Enjoy it and please let me know if it works well for you.
Your feedback or just a Thanks button clicked is always appreciated.
Thank you for the reply, and your effort.
Unfortunately this did not work. I did exactly as you said, when I restart the phone, I get the original clock, with flippers, but no text where the time is. Basically the time (text) is blank and I just have the original flippers which flipe with nothing inside them.
I don't have screen capture software so I hope you know what I mean. I fyou want a screen print, please link a screen capture app.
I copied the original (backup file) to Windows and all is ok now.
My phone details are as follows:
ROM: 314 WWE (3.14.831.3
Manila: 2.5.20161330.0
WM6.5
Thanks again for trying. Any other suggestions?
ok, this s a little embaressing, I feel like an idiot.
There was no clock text as everything was white. When I mucked around and applied the 'transparent flippers' boom, the clock is just like the pic. PERFECT.
Thanks heaps. I have 'thanked' your post. Good job.

Hi again my friend,
I forgot to give you a hand with this one too, so here I'm again
For screen capture I use a great app that is very easy to use and works perfectly and with good quality, it is "Shake and Save" which you can find it in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=488990
Best regards.
Wow, brilliant app. Thank you x2. For the app, and the clock.
