Are these cabs ready to remove via wm? Because I just want to test and if I don't like them, I could uninstall?

yes, you can uninstall them.

this is my homescreen (love it)
but is there any way to customise those "call" and "write message" icons as well? That would be great!

For those of us still on Manila 2.0, the icons work very well (thank you for the download link above), but the other bits included - the Hero wallpaper and white clock etc - don't work so well.

I want tray thi icos, but the restore of default icons?
It' possible?

to zimmicz: you can change it with m9editor an some graphic editor for editing icons. all icons are in files number_manila e.g. 08fc3b25_manila is phone call icon and 093284a8_manila is send message icon and there are two ways
1- copy changed file into windows folder
2- make a cab and install it

Strange, I used "load from png" option, it is set to the icon i want in m9 editor, but when used on my phone, the field stays white :-/
update: it was due to different resolution, it is ok now

To make your own manilas use Manila Editor: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=414861
Simply open manila, replace picture and save manila.
Transfer new manila to Device\Windows with TF3D turned of.
To be on the save side backup the manila you replace first.

Or if you make your own cab, don't need to save original files. Everything comes back after uninstallation.

Can someone upload .cab file, much easier for all.

someone upload the file on other site like www.mediafire.com
cant download from rapidshare

Nice icons
Thanks for the icon and clock CABs. They work fine on my stock ROM.
For TF3D background I used a custom cab created using HDWalls 0.25.
I also seem to notice a minor improvement in TF3d response compared to using the standard icons.

it is possible to make a cab for this beautiful theme for touchflo 2.1 on the diamond 1?

WM6.5 Messages panel - what is the name? (Samsung Jack)

I flashed my Jack with WM 6.5 recently and loaded the Titanium panels. But I am not seeing an "all in one" panel for Missed calls, Email, Text, and Voicemail. Instead I have a panel for each one.
I checked out the list of apps/panels in the 3vo ROM's for the Excalibur and nothing seemed to be the panel I'm after.
See middle Screenshot at the bottom of first post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523718
Or just below the Wifi panel in this SS.

Anyone know where I can find the stand alone installer? Or help narrow down the search terms? The results I am getting haven't helped find it yet.

I was able to find the info in the Titanium CPR file on the 3VO rom, so I copied that over to the file for my phone. It works!
I just can't find the icons though, I've got red x's on the condensed view and 2 of 4 icons in expanded have red x's. I've looked over the text a lot and I just can't find where they are pulling from.
Looking at the image keys in the registry I see the following:
Value Name: chNotification_cv_email
Value Data: 2003
I'm guessing that is pulling from a DLL, but I am stumped on where to find the name of the DLL so I can view the contents to pick new icons.

Have you tried checking with CHomeConfigurator? I have both the combined panel and the individual ones...

U must install titanium notifications plug

Is there a way to reorganize messaging items/get rid of a particular item e.g. voicemail?

I think you would have to edit the CPR file and comment out the items you don't want to use. If you're editing the CPR file, make a copy for safe keeping in case you mess it up.
Commenting an item out should be easy enough, you'll probably have to adjust the spacing afterwards to get things to appear neatly again.

[Need Help] Making my own widgets/skins for SPB 3.5.x

Hey there!
I'm currently busy with making some skins for the digital clock in SPB, but I really don't know how to make my PSD file into a real widget skin.
For example I have made this image:
{
"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"
}
I hope anyone can help me with this or does know a guide how to make it into a skin. This way I can provide you guys lots of skins/widgets!
Thanks in advance!

Just watch in the folder where the standard skin file is.
So you can see how you have to "slice" etc the pics.
Thats the way I do it with skinning programs.
I dont have SPB so I cant say you an exact way but so I would do it.
Regards

The easiest/best thing to do would be taking a direct look at how the standard spb widgets are made
The dat files are just zip files renamed to .dat so you can easily look what's inside with just winzip (the password for all of them is b0fm18zq)

Ok, that is great! Thanks.. The only thing I don't get is how do I use transparent in .bmp? I see all the red and black stuff at parts that are transparent in the SPB shell?
So my question is now, how do I add transparecy to .bmp files and how do the 'mask' images work?
Thanks in advance!

Moved as not theme release.

Transparency is handled through the mask bmp, the darker the areas on the mask the more transparent the corresponding areas on the resulting image
Mask needs to be a grayscale bmp
Images (most of them) need to be 16bit bmp
Do not use 24 or 32 bit bmps 'cause they're gonna disappear during swiping

Does anything like the opposite exist?
Im always a fan of bg4all, but for some tabs, id love to have a overlay bg (like seen when switching tabs) ontop of the set bg, in settings tab for example, i had to search quite a bit to find a background that has the text readable on all tabs.
Id also love to have background 'pages' behind text messages, like it does for emails

It's not possible. The png file that Sense uses as the shadow on tab previews is only 2x2 px so you can only have a transparent or opaque shadow in any color, but if you resize the image it's gonna cover the big tab icons with white boxes and there will be no shadow (I know, 'cause I tried).
The Start menu shadow is the same for all folders inside the Start Menu including Settings, so you can't have a different background everywhere. She shadow effect is actually made by two semi-transparent png files which overlap you Today background. They are both 800x480 and 480x800 px (for WVGA of course) so you can replace them with any image you like (transparent or opaque), just remember it's gonna cover your today wallpaper. So if'll put an opaque image you would pretty much do the same thing as changing the wallpaper is Today's Settings. But it makes sense to use semi-transparent images.
If you'd like to edit the slider shadow use WinCE Cab Manager to extract the files from transparent tab transitions.cab and use m9editor to convert the manila file to png. Then use Photoshop or any other transparency-supporting graphic software (not MS Paint obviously ). When your done convert the png file to manila format again using m9editor and copy the file to your device \Windows using Resco File Explorer or Total Commander. Overwrite the original.
Editing the Start Menu shadow is easier. Use WinCE Cab Manager to extract the png files from transparent start menu background.cab and edit them in Photoshop (or any other(...)). Then copy the files to \Windows (again, overwrite the originals).
Hope this will help some n00by designer.

Transparent CHT icons matching Laskar V2 transparent theme

Ever since I found Laskar V2 transparent theme, I haven't used any other. Finally I decided to modify the CHT (and some apps) icons to match my favorite theme.

}
Image 2
It doesn't show very well with my wallpaper and in low res but the icons are transparent in the background, and semi-transparent in the black borders. I snatched the design from CHT borders and icons, and used some Metro5 white icons.
I'll post both the icons I made, as well as the templates so you can modify and apply to your own icons, or to the CHT icons I didn't get to make because I don't use.
DOWNLOAD MY ICONS v1.1
PNG Icons inside the Windows folder need to be moved to the Windows folder (over-writes original CHT icons). The rest needs to be set with a program like CSMI.
CHT_no_icon.png is the empty icon. Both xcf files in the Windows folder are the templates for GIMP2 of the CHT icons, I seem to have misplaced the xcf (read as, forgot to save the file) for the app icons templates... Oh well. Just use the CHT_no_icon.png
Links for stuff I use in my phone:
Cookie's Home Tab
Laskar V2 transparent theme
Hero Clock for CHT
B&W Circular Battery icon
WM7 Metro Icons (I snatched some white icons from here)
Custom background by me

Noticed a couple of "bugs". App icons with the inner white border gets too crowded, so I'll be removing it like it was before it looks way better (you can still see the old icon in active sync and RSS in the image I took lol).
CHT icons will retain the inner white border, otherwise they easly get passed by apps, and simply doesn't look as good (the reason I inserted the 2nd border in the first place)
EDIT: Done
