I had been trying to get the GTX Slider (only the slider). I've done research and I had also tried doing it myself for the past 3 days but I'm still progress-less. However, on the bright side, I've been learning how to work around manila files (although with a very noobish skill).
Please help me! For I've been desperate. I think I've done my share on XDA's rule of learning how to search first and trying to work it out.
As mentioned, I've been trying to get the whole look of the GTX Slider, while keeping other Manila themes stocked/customized such as the clock etc.
I've also found this thread called GTX Perfection Slider. It's a GREAT help toward my goal. The only thing missing is that white background on the slider And that's the only part that I had been trying to work around with.
Here's a screen shot that I took a few days ago with GTX Perfection Slider:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It's just too dark and it doesn't look all that good.
Using Manila Editor, I tried to locate the name of the file from GTX 1.7.1. I thought I succeeded, copied it (because it looked similar) and pasted it on /Windows on my mobile and I'm still getting nowhere.
The file name I thought it would be was "014758a9_manila".
Can anyone of you help me put a period on my problem? I'm desperately trying I'm pretty sure many people would like this slider though. It's simple, elegant and very easy to the eye.
Thanks in advance.
The cab to make that transparent is already available. Check out Smaberg's stickied post and look for TouchX Transparent Bottom Curtain. If you want to make it a different color (and not transparent) then simply edit the manila file to your liking.

I have searched for themes (although admittedly not all that hard as I am searching on my Vox on EDGE) and all of the custom ones I can find are very visually busy and/or hard to read.
I just want onto that is nice and simple with no unnecessary words, logos, or anything else.
But I want it to display:
MRU
profile
next 2 appts (I'll settle for one)
SMS/MMS/email
time, date
Anyone know where to find some?
Well since I couldn't find any I just made* my own. (*made meaning compiled and tweaked, not created)
Here it it: (for a first try, I think it is not too bad)

Thanks.
I would if I knew how.
SUper!
Hi CHillin,
I am also on ROgers. Can you tell me what is your "receipe" for getting your home screen installed with wich plugin etc.
Regards,
JL
I think this is all you need.... I think.
I used Facade, Endless (attached), HTC Home (attached), and a pic I took using with the Vox's cam (attached)
Colour Scheme: Endless: Blue
Wallpaper: IMAGE_004
I have attached the xml file, that I Think will give you the layout. Since I can't attach xml files I added .txt to the end of the file name. So simply delete ".txt" from the file name after you download it and it should work.
Actually I think you will need this one too.
Hi, Ive only had my HD2 for a few days now and I am loving it! Had a TG01 and this is far better.
I was just wondering if there are any mods for the icons on the top task bar, I had a Diamond and was able to use a .cab from the Diamond section to change the icons to something better looking than the stock icons. Is there anything available yet or is it a case of waiting for the devs to sort something out??

I used the no-start one in that thread and it worked fine on my HD2, as shown below. Despite being for the HD.

I was only talking about the top part, the rest of the look is separate. I just couldn't be bothered cutting the taskbar out.
Install the cab and the rest of your screen won't be touched.
lol, just realised after I put the post up! I installed both cabs and its all good!!
just one more question, how do I get the bars to look textured?
thanks again!!!
You need to install MaxTTM. Run it, go to the WM6.5 tab, in Component select 'Taskbar', in Change Method select 'Special Pattern' and in Special Pattern Bar Selection select 'millski_blackgloss_bar.png'. Leave Alpha as 255. Tick 'Soft Reset After Convert' and press the Convert button. It should then reset and come up with the texture you see above on the taskbar.
Any chance you could provide a link to this MaxTTM?
Cheers!

I search the forum but didn't find anything. It seems that this is tsk theme dependant but I'm unable to find more about it.
Thanks for your help.

Picture not showing for me. Anybody else?
In the meantime this thread may help you.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501506
Hi, thanks for your reply. Indeed, images are not showing. I will repost this evening.
In fact, I'm looking for a way to change the back color of the top bar that appear for example in the file explorer or in the mail application just below the top menu bar where the start menu lays.
anyway,I will re post the images this evening.
thanks for your help.

There are two sections in the Registry that are responsible for the Theme elements that you are talking about. (See the link i posted before). Unfortunately trying to change them via a direct reg edit doesn't seem to work. You would have to change the Registry values in the .cab as they are set in the .tsk for that Theme.
For that you would need a .cab editor and a rudimentary knowledge of RGB and Hex values.
Once you have the tools and a basic understanding of Theme development it's actually not that difficult but will need a bit of research. I make my own Themes so if i can help you in any way feel free to PM me, i'll be glad to help.
Good luck.
I have been working on a themed tweetdeck for the last couple of days. My goal here was just to have it fit in with the INCredible rEVOlution theme.
I have only done Facebook and Twitter, as I don't really use foursquare or buzz... and the only thing I have not been able to locate that I would like to change is the yellow and grey text in the title bar and the scrollbar...
Please note this is not near complete. I have only edited the things I use, these include:
Twitter Columns, Facebook Columns, buttons, and the bar widget
If anyone wants to helpout, or wants this, let me know and I would be happy to post it!
EDIT: Here is the link to download...
Tweetdeck INCredible
You cannot install this over an already installed tweetdeck.
Uninstall and then reinstall to get it to work.
Here are a couple of screens...

Post, it looks nice.
Thanks!
@touchpro, I posted the link in the original post. Glad you like how it looks!
Looks good man....thanks for the contribution!
@SoCal thanks so much! I am starting to learn android development and figured decoding some apps and theming them would help me learn the structure and the way the XML layout files work. So truly just a super newbie at this stuff with android, but am a web designer and developer by trade.

Good thing is, you will find it in the xml.files.
As I changed those colors couple of days ago....
I changed almost all text colors, but only because I am still searching for the main text color and user color in main columns.
I gave up for now...I bet it´s in some smali.files ....
I think there may be something like this for windows phones? Anyway, would really like a little analog clock in the status bar instead of the digital readout. It's actually nice to know the time when surfing the web, tweeting, etc. but the digital clock is out of place with a circle status bar icon theme. I've attached a picture to help with the visual.
Anybody interested in making this I would be willing to donate my time and/or money in helping to make this possible. May involve making a million .png files, but I do not know. Would like to see if there is any other interest in this/if it's even a possibility (I have not seen anything). I think It would look pretty slick!

Agreed. That would look nice. I think it would take a bit of coding though. Over my head. Those round icons do look nice. Where did you get those from?
the Ultimate Online Theming Kitchen. just google it, it should come up as the first hit. Pretty awesome kitchen and super easy to use.
something like this should be possible:
lower the clock font, and put those brackets on the titlebar background. I would change the batt icon too. standard measure would be easiest. you still have exact percentage on desktop.
that does look pretty good, thanks for putting that together. Deff gonna mod the batt like that.
My request still stands though, I want a 2 hands turning circles in the top right corner!
