HTC Homeplugin - How to edit white & grey text for: Home, Weather & Music Tabs?
Prior to posting this message, I have researched extensively on this site and Google for the answer but have not been successful. How can the white and grey text be changed to a different color in the HTC Homeplugin? For example, in the home tab, I am referring to the "carrier" name and "MM/DD/YY". In the weather tab, the white text for the current temperature vs. high= white and low= grey. The music tab initial text is white "Music Player" until you activate the media player and the text changes. I am currently using a white "tsk" and it makes it very hard to read the grey and white. I tried editing the "setup" XML file that is part of the initial HTC Homeplugin 6 tab version (I believe it's the latest one).
Any assistance on finding an answer to this inquiry will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I have the same question about HTC Home customize (in Wizard forum): how to add more tabs, change categories as I want... but no one answer yet! Could you, the professional, please show to the newbie the way to do...
Up to now, I only can add my app from storage to 1 of 9 block in Laucher tab (by create a shortcut in Program folder) and to tray (by using PHM toy)...

As much I hate to say it, right now there is no option to change the color of the carrier and date. My only suggestion to you would be to use a darker tsk or use HHC to change the background of the home plugin to something darker like the original background. Maybe some day they will come up with a way to change those 2 features but it is not currently available.

As for the Home plugin, you can add up to 6 tabs using the home customizer or schaps advanced configuration tool. You can also pick and choose which tabs you want.
For example>> When you flash the TNT.1437 Rom, the default setup is 5 tabs(home, favorite contacts, weather, launcher, music) but if you don't want the weather, but instead you would rather have the profiles tab, you can easily change that or have all 6 tabs.
As far as the launcher goes, you can only have 9 apps there and I don't think anything is gonna change that. If you need a quick launch solution, take a look at cLaunch. It's free and lets you do the same thing as the home plugin, only not so stylishly. Or if that is not an option for you then use PHM Power Toys and use TrayLaunch and that is just as effective.
Another Option for you would be Wisbar Advance Desktop(sorry, not free). You are able to create multiple pages and flip through them as you please(if you use HTC Home Customizer to unlock the home plugin you will be able to use it with WAD), add shortcuts to the desktop, create full themes for your today screen... etc. It's a really nice app but like I mentioned above, It isn't freeware.
OK! That means there's no way to add more tabs (just home, favorite contacts, weather, launcher, music) and add more block to Launcher either!
In fact I dont need new theme or skin but I'll try Wisbar Advance Desktop 1.3.0.7.

As a long time member of this forum, I must ask you to remove this post. Whether or not you got it for free or not is entire on you but please do not offer warez here. Offering someone Wisbar Advance Desktop for free is still stealing from the author even if you received it for free.
OK, done, man!
Ok I just got my Diamond. I installed the Manila Customizer. I have some questions!
I have been able to install some of the files to add more clocks and stuff, but not others. It's like they are missing a file. Like the Benrus clock, Blackfire clock, or the Metal clock2 for example.
Then there are the ones that are cabs. Do I have uninstall them when I want to use a different clock or does it install them in the Manila program?
I also see themes out there. How does those work? Where do I put them?
Sorry I know this probably seems like stupid questions, but I'm lost!
Thank you,
Susan

well i haven't used mailla3d customizer but i have a tilt and have used manilla 2d customizer to set different themese for m2d. Basically to install a theme (a whole theme clock, background, etc everything) you have to copy the theme to the theme folder under the manilla customizer program folder:
e.g.
Programs ---> M2DC (u will probably have M3DC or tf3dc as diamond has tf3d) --> themes (this is the folder where you put the themes in.
most themes come in .zip format or .m2dct (again in your case it most likely will be .m3dct).
Also if you check out the diamond forum there is a whole thread on the manilla tf3d customizer and also threads on themes for tf3d.

hi,
looking for a cab to get more calender entries and the caller history on the start screen, like max manila is doing it
but I don´t want to use this progi.
thanks
I too would love a cab for having at least 3 calendar entries on the homescreen...
I don't get it why HTC haven't utilized the big screen better.
No need for such a big clock.
What I would like is a smaller clock in the same design as HTC's, and then with room for 3 calendar entries underneath.
Just like MaxManilla, but without having to install MM.
I don't like it, because all the settings is placed on the homescreen itself.
did you found a solution?
did you found a solution?
cookie's home tab ?
I started this thread to hear about creative/brilliant ideas to create a Home Tab without a slider, using standard Manila settings and/or existing mods (so no coding).
What I did is, disable in settings all Manila Tabs except 5 (including Home and Settings), and create shortcuts for the other tabs, and put them as quick links in Co0kie Home Tab. Problem is that I have not been able to create shortcuts for all Manila Tabs.
Please share your ideas
Can someone please tell me whether it is possible to tweak the registry to change the aps run from the HTC TouchFlo 3D Navigation Bar? I have searched forum for answer with no luck. Others have asked, but no one seems to reply.
Example... Let's say I want the email icon to launch FlexMail instead of HTC Email, or I may want the Calendar icon to launch WebIS Pocket Informant rather than HTC Calendar. Is this possible to change with registry tweaks, or are the program launch selections hard coded in the Manila software?
Thanks
