Wow, see what you mean, realy nice theme! Like the style of animation.
Be interesting to see if any one picks this up

it would be really cool. i would be willing to compile all of the icon packs, sliders, and wallpapers if somebody was willing to help me put it together as a full fledged theme
ive seen the fallout theme created by horrorview and star, and it came to be an amazing theme in a short amount of time. i feel like the hd2 doesn't have a whole lot of theme customization for just the stock rom, and a few quality themes seem to be in order :]

Yeah when I had my G1 someone had made a BUUF theme and it was always my favorite, I love that animation style too. Keeping an eye on this one

if somebody could kindly lead me in the direction i would need to go to get the programs and tutorials on creating themes for leo. id be more than happy to make it myself but i dont know where to start or what to look for. i have all the icons and what not together, i just need to know how to edit manila in order to create a proper theme

This one is for tf3d 2.o but it may help you get started.

i have seen that one before, but all he really did was change the slider and the internet tab. the clock was from a custom rom i believe, however im not a huge fan of the clock anyways.
i do have a slider already on my phone with actual buuf icons, and i have all of my icons replaced with high res buuf .png's. but now im to the point where i want to modify sense in order to get a more complete feel to the theme. i have some buuf wallpapers too.
really all i need to do is some color modifications on manila, get a more cartoony flip/analog clock(s), perferably the buuf clock used on android.
there really isn't a whole lot to do honestly.
ill take a screenshot of what i have right now when i get home from work
edit: actually i think the desire flipclock might fit pretty well. ill just have to see

I'm going to do my buuf theme on my htc hd2 like my Iphone... I created buuf4 on MMi if you want to check it out, here is the Link:
Edit: I can't post link from another website... Go to modmyi dot com and look for kpall312. In my signature click on the blue link for screen shots... There is more pic then the 4 I posted here...

(Sorry for my english Hungarian is my first language.) I have the iphone dialer,keyboard,etc... I don't know what size png or other pic you need. I post a few png and let me know what I can help with. I'm new to the thc hd2 so I need to get used to it after the iphone... I think using ssh with iphone was easier then win mobile. If you send me files you need to buuf I can change them for you... I have Adobe CS5 Master collection to do the work...

Theme Making? Does anyone want to actually explain how its done?

I would love to learn how to make themes; however, I can't find anything that remotely explains the process entirely. I'm seriously about to freak out (ya know, wanting to do that primal scream!) ...how could these directions be so hard to find?
P.S.
If there are magical threads I'm missing........and you post them......can you post the one that is thorough? Oh ya...sorry for the sarcasm......this is just so frustrating!

Glad you asked that question as I too also want to know the process of how to make a fully theme ;o)

You can start by downloading the programs to be able to see and edit the files you will be playing with. Mode9 Editor and CFC_GUI as well as others to see XML pages, etc,etc. AS to how to make a theme is all dependent on what type of theme you are looking to make. Are you looking to skin manila, titanium, SPB??????????
If you are looking to do manila then Mode9 is good for moving things around, changing how they function, and their look. If you are just going for look and simple use in manila I use CFC_GUI.
If you search you will find these programs. In their threads are directions on how to use each. Now I'm not going to get into specifics here because it's different for each type of GUI you want to use/skin. Needless to say a theme is just a series of images that create the over all look of said GUI.
So choose the GUI you want and start studying on that type. The info is out there you just need to narrow down the search perimeters.

and where to start when i want to create winmo themes (not manila) ?
thanks

As far as what? The menu bars? The curtains? As far as I know most of them are XML and png's.

CHT 1.8 Manila File Names & Transparent Files attached

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?

no one i assume...
why dont you share these info with them ...

Is something being requested in the posts above?
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?

I would like to help but I am using Dusk ROM with Cookie cooked in to it and skinned by G10 so I think they are not the ones you want.
Also a hard reset is always a good reason to try another ROM

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.

Changing layouts via CHTS

Ok so we've all heard the news about CHT2.0 and all its great new features.....
Far and away the best new thing for me is the beast that is Micheldiamond's CHTS....
(If you dont know what Im talking about then check here)
What Im so excited about is that if you kill sense through too much tweaking ( ive lost count of how many times) you can get back to where you were before the crash in a matter of minutes........ its literaly a manila safety net...
It also gives theme makers the ability to dump a whole CHT theme / layout in such a way that it can be implemented in a much easier way than installing numerous cabs and individual tweaks.......
The point of this thread is to see how dumping a layout and applying it to someone elses device works....
This is mainly aimed @ miller710 who kindly agreed to help me test this but I figured Id post it in the forum for anyone who wasnt aware of this great new feature........
Ok on to buisness........
If you'd like to test out how this works then please follow the steps below and let me know how it works for you.....
This is not a release of a theme, its more of an "experiment en mass" with this new feature........
I've attached the layout I posted in the today screen thread here
If your not yet familiar with CHTS I'd recommend that you spend some time playing around and getting used to it first........
First of all, make sure you have CHT Scheduler installed and your baseline saved.........
Save any layout your currently using and check that it all works as it should by saving it.......loading your baseline then reapplying your saved layout....
If it all comes back in all the right places then we are good to go......
Unzip the folder Ive attached and then put the whole folder thats inside into storage card/_CHTScheduler.....
You should see your saved layouts and baseline already in there......
Once its in go for a soft reset.....
then when you go back into CHTS switch gui and try to change layout you should have "black n blue rss" as an option....
Try changing to that layout and let me know what happens......
You should end up with something like the screenshots...............
It wont change your icons, if your using dinik icons you will still have dinik icons..... if your using stock they should still be stock.....
You will not get the "blue tape" digital clock (because my lua skills arent up to scratch yet )
However you should have the wallpaper, widgets and quicklinks and blue soft keys in all the right places
There shouldnt be any serious consequences to this..... if something does go wrong you can restore you baseline/old layout........ however as always you do this at your own risk.....

Worked. However there are some broken links I think this if for programs that you have that I do not. I will post some before after screens in a few minutes.

Hey Troutman! First out there with a trial layout for CHTS (how long before you and Mob release the orange street theme as a zip for this... )
It seems to work fine (once I'd realised that you had to go in one folder once unzipped to find the one names CHTS_blah blah blah and copy THAT one to the CHTScheduler folder in Storage Card!). I'm assuming it won't look exactly like your screenshots - my layout has retained my clock/weather choice on the central screen and the RSS widget is above the clock, not below like in your screenshot. Also I have lots of missing quicklinks
I agree that CHTS is just as amazing as CHT itself - there has been a massive amount of work by MD - it has already replaced Phoneweaver on my phone for automatic connection and sound profiling. I'm just waiting for your orange theme, buff and GTX to be released in this format and I'll be away!
Just been switching back to my baseline as I've been typing and I still have all your quicklinks and none of my free links - hey ho, guess there's still some work to do...
See you back at the Dev group! Love the weather wallpapers you've done for the lockscreen - where can I get the full set?

DOH! should have though of that......
I should have saved a version with empty quicklinks,,, except for apps that come as stock..... opera etc......
Once I figure out how to do an xml for the layout i should be able to cancel out any links that point to apps other people might not have........
So it really is as easy as that........
Good to know....... thanks man!

I also had the problem when I switched back to my baseline. I lost my free links. The wierd thing is that when I loaded your theme, I got the custome cht toggles you used on ur theme. And when I switched back I got the old standard icons. So this seems to be a transferable item as well.
Then after looking it over I noticed that the custom cht softkeys also change with the theme loadout. apparently that is also something that can be transfered.

Hey Dunc, wasnt really intending it as a release, more an experiment and some shameless promotion for CHTS (not that it needs it )...
I think if your swipe up you'll get the rss in the same position as the screenshot..... i didnt post every page on every level....
and the digi clock will be missing because I cant get my standalone widgets to work....... unless you want to kill sense then they're great..... lol
The quicklinks thing was a stupid error on my part, obviously any proper theme releases will come as default with empty link.... I was just rushing to post before the missus gets home........
Not long for Orangestreet..... just need to hammer out the xml... I think thats the missing link.....
Not sure why your baseline would be affected......
Mine has always been rock solid...... If I thought that peoples "safety net" would be jeopardised then I would have held off on posting this because obviously I dont wanna cause people to have to go through a whole set up process again so sorry about that
Appreciate the feedback man thanks again

Yep, toggles will go across too.....
If I was using custom state indicators they'd show as well.....
As I said to Dunc, Sorry about your baseline....
Was it just the freelinks you were missing or did you still have the regular quicklinks too??

@Dunc001
Forgot to answer your question about the weather walls......
I cant take any credit for those, they're all mob's work...... they were in the dropbox in the chts folder...
If they're no longer there then let me or mob know and we'll post them somewhere for you.......

The glass circle softkeys are before. the Blue softkeys are after. Mind you this is after doing it for a second time so both sets of pics have your free links and quick links. When I reverted back to baseline it kept your icon layout just changed everything else back.

No worries man. I have been playing around with it alot any ways. What I can't figure out is why CHT occationaly just moves links around. I also have problems with the icons changing randomly for no reason at all. Any idea?

Ive linked MD( genius behind CHTS) to this thread so hopefully he can shed some light on this.....
Edit;
GRRR just realised I missed my 1000 post milestone..... lol
wanted to use it for something ridiculous in off topic........... oh well guess i'll just have to wait for 2000

Amazing!
For the quicklinks thing: I have a solution - will be in next fixed version, should be better then:
- It deletes the "old" quicklinks instead of overwriting, so there is no "mixing"
- you can disable quicklink switching with Layout switching in the settings.
Then let's have a look, if this is enough or if we need something more.
Great work, conan - I luv this style of your themes! But that you already know (Congrats to your 1000+, too *g* )
Micha

thanks md, probably best to leave out the quicklinks in the meantime...
I guess people are going too want to set their own links anyway...
is this the best way to share a theme between two devices, by placing the layout folder into the chts folder of another device? or is there a better way....
ha ha thanks for the congrats... it will soon be 2000 at this rate...

oh, overseen your answer, but with new CHTS 2.02 all the quicklink things, which are mentioned above, are soluted.
So Quicklinks are switching now also if they have different designs.
only the randomly moving quicklinks needs also a fix in CHT itself, but meanwhile it's counteracted as good as possible with CHTS, too.
And yes,simply placing and copying the Layout-subfolder is the intended easy sharing or saving of a Layout. CHTS automatically recognizes the new CHT-Layout (indifferent if by .zip or .cab installed) and can be assigned to any profile by the user. mmh...I think that you already know but perhaps some others not.
Thanx for your inputs!

Thanks Michel,
I think all the issues with the quicklinks are sorted now
Any layout I post will have only have empty quicklinks by default, obviously each user is going to want different programs in different places.
I'll still be setting the location of the link and if they want to re-arrange then thats up to them..........

cht lockscreen files....

hey guys, i have the skinning bug and want to change the items in the red boxes, can some one tell me what files i need to be looking at to do so......
cheers.

come on don...
icons =
cht_slider_email
cht_slider_missedcalls
cht_slider_messages
as for the"unlock"text thats in the 50something_manila. theres a thread in this forum started by thgraff who made a slider without text. or better yet look at attachments only in the cht thread theres an up to date one in there. "hd mini no text"

yeah i know eric, i was being proper lazy there.....I'll look before posting next time ;-)
thanks for helping out though bud.....

lol its cool I did the same thing to poyensa last night.
anyhow in the cht thread someone posted all the png files for the lock screens...if your feeling creative.
(I always use defaults as a template of sorts)
be sure you post up what you make.
later.

nothing special, just adds a bit of colour.....
