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!
Is there such a thing as an icon creator for the PPC? Ideally Pocket Artist is exactly the kind of tool I'm looking for - with the small exception that it doesn't save to .ico format.
But it if did, I would be able to create Vista style icons directly on my device without having to go to my PC and firing up something like GIMP for a task that ought to be relatively straightforward on a PPC.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Thanks!

PIKE...., but it only does 16 color icons.
Hi All,
I've been having this problem with themes on my P3400 Windows Mobile 6 device. I have been using this phone for almost a year now and have been stuck with the default HTC green theme that comes with the phone. I tried switching themes for different colors - Windows default or Windows Mobile Green for instance and when I select either of these themes under Start --> Settings --> Today (personal tab) --> Under select a theme for your device, and reboot the device, everything changes as its supposed to except the Dial Pad. It shows up in a pale black/gray color which looks really bad. Any comments or ideas on how I can get this fixed will be real helpful.
Thanks a lot.
Hi
This is default behaviour, the dialpad must be customized separately, look for dialpad skins
Moved as not theme release...
Thank you for the reply TITO. I will surely get some dialpad skins now.
I`m using SPB MS 3.5.3, with no addon or patch whatsoever. I`m trying to "port" the iPhone look (made my custom iPhonish icons + a custom taskbar), but I`m having a hard time making the menubar buttons transparent. I`ve removed the 2 buttons using ShellExtension, thus the only think keeping me from succesfully accomplishing my task is that menubar (the carousel on the left and the options [Add widget, Edit Layout, etc.] on the right)...
Any suggestions? Is it possible to make them transparent? Moving them on the upper part of the screen would also be wonderful!
Thanks in advance!

No one can help me?...
I'm looking for a analog clock for windows mobile 6.1 that can be made (semi) transparent. Also I'd like to keep my today picture...
I've tried SPB Time and many other, but unfortunately they change the skin as well.
I just want to put a transparent analog clock in the middle so I can see my theme picture as well.
Thanks in advance
update: I've found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=674084
I'm looking for something similar to this with the ability of editing the clock, mainly: positioning, changing its transparency.
I've an ASUS P552w with windows mobile 6.1
