Adding custom entries to the sense slider - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Hi all,
I've been looking for (with somewhat confused results) a method of adding entries into the slider in the htc sense interface. I've seen instances of it having been done, but not really found and how to info.
Thanks for any help,

Basic Raphael phone questions

I have a few basic questions about my phone, and somethings I hope to do to it. I have the AT&T Fuze phone, still on AT&T also.
My questions are:
~Is there a way to remap keys (mainly the PTT button) without having a custom ROM?
~Can I alter the bottom slide icons order, current order is home-people-mail-etc.
~The home screen with the keyboard slide out, is there a way to change what these icons do or launch? Ex. Web search, can I change the default web search? Can I reassign messages to go to the IM program?
I was hoping to not have to do a custom ROM for any of these, a bit of background. I had both iPhone's prior to this and did all the jailbreaking/unlocking (still do for others), and with WinMo I feel I can do all this work but it already lets me do so much. Just a few simple changes and I would be set.
Thanks for any help.
everyone is going to tell you search, but basically you can do all that stuff...i would recommend flashing your phone with a new ROM and installing tf3d config
check out blownfuze.org pw is xda/xda as well as searching the forums for more answers

Thank you, I have attempted some searches and mostly come up with custom roms. If anyone has links to how to do these things, it will surely help just as much.

TouchFlo3D Program tab question

Hi all,
I just got an HTC Fuze via AT&T yesterday and I was unimpressed by the stock ROM...after flashing to Elite RC3, my experience has improved greatly. I've been spending the better part of the day customizing it to my needs.
I have had one issue though, on the program tab, the grid that shows your custom programs does not have text labels. I find this confusing because many of my programs have cryptic icons - not to mention i don't know which icons are which yet. is there a way to add labels to this screen?
I did try searching, to no avail.
Thanks for your help

Customizing Start Menu in Kitchen

Hi there,
N00b Alert!
Im new to cooking and have a few queries:
Im cooking using the TPC kitchen with the 23004 SYS + XIP
1. how do you customize the size of the startmenu icons, they seem large and the lines on the folders are not straight, they are blocky. and another Q? for this is how do you change the icon??
2. how do I turn off that really annoying sliding sound, ive tried a couple of the registry modification packages that Alex supplies and also ive copied the settings from a 6.5 with the sliding sound turned off, but neither has worked.
Also I have a couple of start menu folders to remove, but I believe I can sort that with a .provxml file, is that the best way?
question #1 is probably the most important for me, as i dont like the "De-antialiased" effect the icons have!
I've been few a few tutorials on cooking but none seems to please my customisation requirements.
I've also searched like mad on the forums to the answer to the above ones and I cant find it.
Thanks in advance,
Dan

You should have asked this in the kitchen thread..but here it goes...
search for start menu layout...like 4row hexagon and stuff like that...u will see different cab files to choose from. Its a cpr file that has the layout of start menu.
You can remove folders by editing initflashfiles. Although your folder link can be in ext folder as well in app.dat files. Search in both areas.
Sliding sound should be in OEM folder, look under either OEMAPPS, or OEMDRIVES. Edit the rgu file in there to disable it.
Post this question in the kitchen thread instead of opening a new thread on this.
less clutter,
Josh

[REQ] Original Sense Icons

Hi there,
I've searched through the forum, but can't find any posts relating to my question.
I recently flashed a custom rom, which is great - fast, stable...etc... however, the slider icons and others have been changed. I much prefer the original icons.
Is there an easy way for me to revert back to the original stock slider & taskbar icons without having to install a stock ROM?
Many thanks,
Daniel.

Thanks, I will do - it's actually the Laurentius26 rom which I understand you're using! In fact, I think you produced the icons if I'm not mistaken?
You've done a great job on them, but I like the 'boring' look of the original ones
Many thanks,
Daniel.
+1 here too.
I like the rom, also i would prefer the original look too

Transparency without 3rd party apps???

Hi All,
Im new here and I recently divorced iPhone! I have an HTC HD2 and its probably the BEST ive ever had! Ive seen a lot of posts for themes, etc, however, I prefer the "boring" default homescreen I have (snapshot attached). Ive installed cht and I think it was GREAT, but I didnt like the way my phone "blinked" everytime i woke it up. In any case, i prefer the default screen and my question is, Is it possible to have a bit of transparency on my phone WITHOUT installing 3rd party apps like cht and so on? (Just a simple cab file that adds the TRANSPARENT look to my homescreen and other screens). This will be great! I love playing with custom backgrounds that I make with photoshop, so some transparency will be perfect!
Thanks in advance guys, and keep up the GREAT work!
Regards,
Yaz

Since you use Sense are tons of Manila files that devs have modified that have made certain items transparent. You'll have to hunt for those. What you should really do is load a custom ROM, preferably one with CHT baked in, and go from there. I guarantee your phone won't "blink".
Wow,, THIS SITE IS THE BEST!!!
When I had the iPhone and registered on one of the forums, I used to submit posts, and not get a response for AT LEAST 2 DAYS!! To get a response within a couple of hours is SUPERB!!
Anyway (sorry about that! - got a bit excited) About your recommendation for loading a custom ROM, I guess you saw my specs so you are confident that I wont have any issues. However, I dont know WHAT TO DO, HOW TO DO IT, WHAT I NEED, etc. Therefore, I would be grateful if you would kindly "link" me to the right direction, and I will take it from there. If I do face any issues, would it be OK to pm you?
Please let me know!
Cheers again!
If you want a rom that has both CHT and has transparency have a look at energys rom, link here:
Just scroll down and find the version you want! There are a few, you need to have hslpl installed and then just flash his rom!
If you don't want to flash a new rom and just make a few changes to the stock rom here are a few links to a ton of mods/tweaks for ya(transparency included)..
