Hi,
I've been getting to grips with the rlToday plugin over the last couple of weeks, and thought I'd share my first attempt at an rlToday theme with you.
With the help of MortScript, I have created a multi-page today screen, switchable using the 4 black icons on each screen, and rotatable using the Rotate button (which will redraw the screen using the relevant landscape layout).
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, or if indeed nobody actually cares...
looks cool
Look really very good..really..
Excellent pictures! I have to try it

please do - I could use some feedback from people using it
Do happen to have MortScript? Can't download it, all links are dead. It's necessary right?
latest version should be this:
http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=download&action=view&category=16&entry=85
You'll also need Sys-to-Reg from here:
http://rotlaus-software.de/forum/viewtopic.php?id=196
and rafer_weather:
http://rotlaus-software.de/forum/viewtopic.php?id=270
I'm not much experienced in rlToday, but it doesnt seem to "see" your skin, as the skin folder should have the file called skin.xml.
I've installed latest rlToday, latest mortscript, copied sys-to-reg files to /rlToday directory.
that'll be my own stupid fault for forgetting to put the default files in.
I've attached the correct zip file here (and in the first post).
You need to put sys-to-reg files in the mortscript folder, not rlToday - there should be instructions in the zip file (read.me).
this is my first psot and i8m a complete beginner is there a step by step guide to installing this?
Many thanks
first step would be to unzip the folder in post 1, then open the read.me file - full instructions are in there.
great help thanks mate
WOW! Really great work!!! (And I haven't even tried it yet...)
/Nik
Great work!!
Please, would love to know how you got RLToday to Redraw to a landscape layout????
I used MortScript. when you touch the rotate button it activates a script that rotates the screen, copies the relevant landscape version of the skin to the default skin.xml being used by RLToday. easy.
I love what you've done with your screen.
Look's like a lot of work.
I just want to know...how much ram memory did it eat?
I've never checked. I don't have anything running on my phone that would break down how my memory is being used.
Could you share the mortscript that does this?
All the scripts are in the theme zip file, latest version of which is in post 10 on page1 of this thread. You just need to look at the file in there cleverly called landscape.mscr.

What are you looking for?
A skin for Windows Mobile so that your taskbar looks more "Point-UI-ish"?
A skin for S2U2? (You would know what S2U2 is, if you wanted that skined)
Or do you want to change your skin in Point-UI?
Be clearer, next time, u newb!! lol. Just describe what you want, and then I can help you.
I've done this on another persons Wing. A bit complicated to get the theme working since the instructions aren't good. But if I remember correctly, after you've installed it, don't have it displayed on your start menu. Un-check it. Download your preferred theme. Make sure it's QVGA or WQVGA, NOT VGA or WVGA! Then you have to copy and paste those files (or file) in the themes folder, located in program files or documents, not sure as I did this for someone else but try that. Then fire-up Point-UI and go to the theme manager to select your theme.
Hey everyone,
I just have a quick question, is it possible to extract the wait cursor from this CAB by Dafunk and put it in a CAB so I can install JUST the wait cursor rather than the whole taskbar?
Please say there is 'cos I love the cursor but I'm not a fan of the whole taskbar compared to the one of EnergyROM's xD
Thanks a lot in advance,
Luke.
EDIT!!!: Here are the results of what I did:
Well, like I said, I found a program that extracts the .CAB, so I did that, got the shellress.192.dll from the taskbar .CAB and then, painfully slowly, added each bitmap (16 in total) using reshacker to the original shellres.192.dll that came with the EnergyROM. (This means it will only work with EnergyROM's that aren't GTX or 6.5.X)
It works great! Here's the .dll (has to be .ZIP'd), can someone CAB it up please? I don't know what I'm doing with that.
Oh and a screenshot...
If someone with the original shellres .dll thing from stock 6.5 wants me to put that cursor (or any other for that matter) just gimme the things and I'll happily do it for you (my little in return to XDA)
If you extract the cab with a cab manager program, you just need to figure out what files hold the cursor and repackage the cab.
Check the registries to make sure they don't need to be extracted too.
Thanks for the quick reply.
Erm, I have a program called "WinCE CAB Manager" (30 day trial) and have looked at the files in the CAB and I can only see .BMP and .DLL files, and I would guess it would a .GIF file being as though it's animated?
I'm a little confused now as to what to do...?
Also, as you said there are REG keys there but I don't think they are relevant to what I'm looking for.

I extracted the cab as well, I do not think any registries are involved.
You'll have to do some research on which combimnation of .dll & .bmps make up the cursor.
Yes, I would assume a .gif as well, but didn't see one in there either.
Another option (I know you're looking for a specific one but....), you can find cursors packaged together with themes that won't overwrite your taskbar.
Sorry I do not have a clear cut answer for you.
You may want to ask one of our many modders out there like in Dusk's thread, or perhaps Maxcy...

Well I just remembered seeing the cursor shown on the XDA front page (http://www.xda-developers.com/windows-mobile/bw-taskbar-icons-wait-animation/) as a .GIF... If I take that would I be able to put that somewhere to replace the current cursor?
I sent a message to Dafunk2 asking if he can make a .CAB with this... Hopefully this will sort it xD if not I shall keep searching.
edit: He hasn't replied yet... Guessing he's a busy man xD

I think I'll have to look more into how the wait cursor works so I can try and do it myself.
Hi,
Have you read dafunk2 taskbar thread?
guote:
TO ALL OF YOU THAT WANT ONLY THE CUSTOM WAIT CURSOR:
No guys, there is no way to make a cab for only the custom wait cursor.
This is because the custom wait cursor graphics are into the file shellres.192.dll. Into this file reside also many of the taskbar icons and other miscellaneous graphics. If I make a cab with only the file shellres.192.dll and you install it, you will have my wait cursor, but you will have many of my taskbar icons as well. It's good if you use my taskbar (but if you use my taskbar you already have my cursor ), but if you use another taskbar....you can easily understand what can happen.
So this is why there's no way to make a cab that installs only the cursor.
I'm thinking about to make some colors variations of the cursor, but I think that I will make them for cookers (and who knows how to edit dlls) and I will post the 32bit bitmaps in the Windows Mobile Themes section.
I'm sorry.....but I'm explaining why this is impossible
Anyway, many thanks for the great interest for my custom wait cursor
Regards,
dafunk
So, you need original cursor files and a man capable of editing dll.

Ah right, that makes sense lol. Thanks for pointing this out
It can be done easily. You need to extract shellres.xxx.dll from the cab. Then edit shellres with reshacker, and find the wait cursor icons. Then swap them to what you need.
PS: Dont ask me step by step instructions.

Oh right, this sounds good, is reshacker all I need to edit the .dll?
Can anyone point me in the right direction of a .CAB editor please?
I found this one but have not used it. Its available here on XDA.
I use WINCE Cab manager but it's a pay app I believe.

Hmm, this looks good, but it's only for creating .CAB's.. Anyway, as I was dabbling in a bit of cooking (failed btw ) I found a program that extracts .CAB's for use in ROM's so I used reshacker and found there are a LOT of .BMP's for the cursor, but I have no idea what to do with them from here, if anyone has a use for them then I will happily extract them and post them here.
Okay, so I thought I'd found out how to do this... Well I have, BUT now I've got problems with taskbar icons (Messenger notification icon is all I found).
This icon has returned to the default 6.5 icon after I edited the shellress .dll, has anyone got any ideas?
Thanks once again,
Luke.
Hello,
I wonder if anyone is able to/wants to help me?
I am looking for confirmation of the manila file names for CHT 1.8... (I have been browsing the forum but can only find cabs and not the file names for this)
I have been looking through the files by using cfc-gui but I can’t confidently identify the right files!!
I just want to personalise my own files, initially to achieve a transparent home screen, but ongoing to something else.
The clock files are identified on the CHT thread, but not the bars/panels.
I think I have identified the following files (for not-pressed bars), but on modifying them and loading them onto the phone (in the Windows folder, and then restarting manila, and also soft resetting) they don’t all seem to change as I expected.
These ones do work:
0B7F6995_manila = appointment expand/pull-down grip
30D807DA_manila = thin bar with rounded corners to ‘finish’ lower appointment
0d61c97c_manila = date bar
740dc76b_manila = alarm bar
These ones don’t work:
43A0289_manila = appointment list bar
77BAF4F0_manila = notifications full bar
(if these aren’t what I think they are, then what have I changed by modding these files??!!)
I can see from various mods on this forum that people are able to change the files I want to work with, so I must just be playing with the wrong files.
Any help would be good, and it’ll save me time by further searching many pages of the forum and struggling to identify the files in the Windows folder (which is proving very difficult it seems).
Thank you.
it would be good if there was a manila library on here somewhere - cfc-gui is a really good tool, but it's just not doing a proper job for me on this occasion!!!
PS: I have current version 1.66 standard UK ROM on HD2, non-network specific. My CHT 1.8 is working fine, no issues, I just want to mod it a bit!
Agree with the above would be good if there was a list available as took me ages just to find the default cover art for music and couldn't find the mini music player background. I'm using cfc-gui as well and there's as many/if not more files under unknown as there are with headers which makes it really difficult. I've just been going through them 1 by 1 and I'm going to try edit a few on the weekend so will let you know what I find.
Cheers - any help on this would be appreciated. There are loads of mods for this already, but not many sharing info!!
I'll keep on looking...
In the meantime, if anyone else can assist - much appreciated it will be!
If anyone is interested, I found what I was looking for:
10376502_manila = notifications bar
438A0283_manila = appointments bar
I've attached all of these files as transparent in the .zip below. The only one that isn't fully transparent is the pull-down grip which I have added little grip dots to it so you know where it is, otherwise transparent.
** Back-up original files from the Windows folder before overwriting! **
the clock white background remains white, Any updates of others ?
nice work, i liked it, when ever I flash a new rom I was installing transparencies.. not anymore...
I hope you keep up with this threat...
can you show a picture of this please!!
many people will be much help if you put screenshot..if you ask someone's help try to help someone also and someone will apreciate yours
Has anyone asked Co0kieMonster?

I can't quite work out what it is - is it a transparent clock? - if so, which sort?
Aren't there plenty of clocks for CHT on XDA already, do they not work?

Depending on which files you edited..... you might be able to get them back by installing/uninstalling/reinstalling CHT..... maybe.....
Which particular files do you need...??
if by chance I have them backed up Ill post them for you... I dont have that many though....
There is a link in the FAQ section of the CHT thread's main post from Co0kie, for transparencies and some graphics restore cabs.
That should help answer some of your questions.
If you have any other questions still after looking at those cabs and files, let me know.
You can go directly to that thread to the first post where the link is, by clicking the CHT banner in my sig., or clicking the link above will take you there directly.
thanks for the responce guys! i'm actually not sure what manilla files they are lol, i just know there the ones which make the calendar and call history transparent. i've tried re-installing CHT but transparency is still there, it wasnt a cab see. i overwritten the original files with zip file on page one. but would like the glass panel look which dinik created. installing dinik theme the transparent calendar/call history is still there. someone who backed up the manila files before installing that zip file could help... were are they!! lol

I have attached the original files that you highlighted a couple of posts above...
in the zip file are the original files if you want to drop them in manually, or a cab file for if you want to do it the easy way - all it does is place the two manila files in the windows folder, and it's not going to appear in the applications list either (you can't 'uninstall it'), its a one-way cab.
Thanks for all your help guys but looks like its not to be. they were the right manila files but after getting rid of the transparency`s and installing diniks theme everything has the glass panels but calender/call history. maybe the rom i`m using is affecting the theme (cleanex rom). but again thanks for your help guys.
Since I found the HTC Leo's Sense quite difficult to edit the bloody Manila files (in OMNIA was... totally simple project), I'm willing to give (via PayPal donate) some cash, to someone who can create what I need...
He (they") will give me the exact dimensions of the files and I PERSONALLY will create my own graphics and I'll give him (them?) the files and he (they?) will create me what I want...
I want:
1. Co0kie (my personal) clocks (flip/analog)...
2. Slider (my personal) icons...
...and a couple things more; I'll have to check.
Anyone interesting?
Try CHTtweaks. You can change many of the items of co0kie home tab including flip & analog clock, softbar, lockscreen & SMS & email widget using simple png files; also you can get lot of transparency and easily chage text fonts. All with a simple file explorer, forget about manila files.
Regarding the slidertab is a bit more complicated, but if you upload here your png files for sure some other user will kindly help you. To start with you should install in your PC m9editor and / or CFC_GUI; also Resco Explorer or Total Commander in your device; then do a search in your device's windows folder for *_manila; then copy all the founded files to your SD and from there to your PC.
In post #8 of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696214 I did update a zip with all the files included in the slider-tab. Unzip in a separate folder in your PC. The files have the manila names, but png format. You can edit each one with PS, just keep the names and the sizes. It will be easy to convert them back to manila format before put them in your device.
Do it slowly, and ask here what you need. And do not forget to enjoy!
poy any reason why you would copy manila files to sd card first then pc?
i would just open windows folder on pc then copy straight to the pc.
You are right, probably my PC is very slow so i transfer the files using the card reader and i also like to have a backup copy of manila in SD. Of course is not essential .... the most important is to put all manila files in PC -no matter how- and do the edition there.
lol your pc is slow?
I may have you beat. it takes my pc about an hour and a half to copy all manila files.
frustrating but still hella fun though.
@ OP upload your files.
my sig : windroid have everything u want =] If u need edit anything .PM me.
or U could use Poys CHT Tweak. its easy to use

Thxs all of you, for the interest.
But... I don't know the BLOODY DIMENSIONS of these graph files!
I'm pro designer and if you may check bellow the link, I made a "total-theme" for OMNIA - took some serious time, but was easy, after all.
In OMNIA's "Manila", the project was so "crystal"; just copied EVERY graph file from Windows folder (mobile) in my PC, edited them, re-copied back to mobile... Or even better (with M2DC), I was extracting the ENTIRE theme somewhere in my mobile, copied the theme in the PC, opened via WinRar, editing the files, re-placing back in the "rar" theme file... and back to mobile!
SIMPLE!
In Leo's Sense Manila, it's NOT THAT simple!
Anyways... Is it possible, someone, to give me the BASIC files for these graphics (for example, Sliders icon mask and icon itself, Slider tab's icons, Co0kie clocks seperated graphs, etc.), to edit them (make my own graps) and help me out?
HERE IS my first personal Co0kie wallpaper (wide) I made; maybe I'll make others too, but I like that (see bellow)...
So... I wonna make some serious modifications, with the... obvious theme!
hey op, if no ones done it before I put my pc on later I'll help you out with slider icon sizes and convert your finished png images to manila, I did a pretty cool effort for my phone......
