Hi all
for the last two days I was searching for a way to remove the win6.5 lockscreen's buttom curtain
so I was wondering if anyone knows a way to do this
thanx anyway for your time while reading this
well,thanks anyway
I found the solution myself
I edited a cpr file located in "lockscreen" folder in the root of windows
so if anyone wanted the same thing that I wanted
just replace the "LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr" in the "lockscreen" folder with my file wich I edited
hope you like it

hi all
does any one know what the file is called that locks the phone.
when selected from the quick list.
thanks in advance
Howdy,
For a while I too was wondering about that and therefore did a little researching;
"\Windows\ctlpnl.exe::cplmain 1"
to activate it.
Verify via;
Goto Windows directory and find wc_password.wcml
copy it to xxDirectory and rename it's extention to wc_password.txt
so you can view it with pword.exe cq PPC Word.
That took me 7 minutes to figure out.
Now I'm gonna make some of my own *.wcml files
Have fun
Modify Lock Screen
I want to remove the arrows and the caption "slide" from the attached png. Anyone knows how to? I have tried modifying png file as well as the cpr but failed.
Thanks
I want to customize the slider and icons of the home screen tabs by myself (in Photoshop)?
Where are the images of these stored and what registry keys do I need to change (if any)?
Thanks
PS: I use JWMD for the start menu icons, is there a similar app for the home screen tab? - probably not
please guys, somebody help me with this.
i reformulated my request, i've been probably misunderstood - that would explain why nobody bothered to answer by now...
this is my last attempt to get your attention into this. I can't believe none of the people who know answered, is this such a big secret?

Hi Antaed.
I'm surprised too that no one has replied to your question.
I think the problem is not so much that it is a big secret, but that it is very complicated and therefore difficult to reply to.
I've done a bit of work on changing icons myself, so I can probably explain to you what is involved and what you have to do. But you will need to decide for yourself whether you want to put in the effort...
The slider icons (and the slider itself) are .png images stored in manila files. So the first thing you will need to do is find out, for your version of Manila, which files contain the slider icons for your version.
The best way to find out which files you need to change is to 'unzip' an existing cab which changes the slider icons on your version of manila and read the setup.xml file to extract the names of the manila files in the cab.
Please note that there are 3 files for each slider icon!
Then you will need to extract the .png files from the manila files. I use CFC GUI (available on this forum) to extract the .png files.
Once you have the original .png files, you will see that the slider icons do not take up the whole 128x128 pixels of the file but are placed approximately in the top left corner of the .png file. This will be your guide as to how big to make your new icons and where to place the new icon within the 128x128 matrix.
Please note that there are two different positions depending on whether the image you are replacing is the standard position in the row of icons or the icon visible 'within' the slider (seen as you move the slider along the row of icons), which is slightly higher and to the left.
Once you have created your new .png files in the same format as the originals, you should then use CFC GUI again to replace the original image with your new ones in the appropriate manila file.
You can then either manually move your new manila files across to your device (not recommended) or create a cab file to install them (and uninstall them) in one go (highly recommended!).
I would advise (from experience) only doing a couple of icons first until you have the exact position for the icon with the file. The position should then be the same for every icon.
The slider itself is fortunately only one file and therefore a lot easier to change. Again the best way to find out which manila file you need to change for your version is to unzip a cab file that changes the slider on your version and read the setup.xml file.
Hope this helps... (Well, at least you got an answer!)
And "No", I do not know of an easier way of doing this!
Johnkst, thanks for your kind reply, I started to have doubts I'll get an answer to this .
About the procedure - yes, it's pretty challenging but I'll try .
First because it's kind of a new adventure for me and then because I feel I owe it to you now, as I don't want to leave your effort in vain .
If I'll succeed (and I don't see why not) you'll be the first to receive my work.
Thanks again and best regards,
Antaed

That's the right attitude, Antaed...!
I don't know if it will help you, but I am attaching two cabs to this post. They are ones I made myself for my HD2, which uses Manila 2.5.1920. I THINK the same files are used for 1921, but I don't know for sure...
There might be some stuff in there that you do not need, but they might also be useful to help you identify the files you need to change.
One is for the clear slider on the main tabs (it also slightly changes the black '2nd level' slider), the other for the slider icons.
The slider icons it installs are those from Jaguaralani. Let me know once you have downloaded as I will remove them again. I know Jaguaralani does not want his/her theme split up and my posting a cab which installs only the slider icons probably goes against those wishes... - Done!
Good luck!
done, thanks.
Hi,...
I am looking for a solution to modify the Icons of *.url-files permanently.
Why?
I copied some spezial url-files ("DHL", "Doodle",... my kind of "Apps" ;-) to
the startmenu, and linked them on hometab.
There is a direct way for favorites (I know), but with URL-files in Startmenu it is also possible to change the single Icons with JWMD....
and with "url2Opera" it works perfectly, but...
...after some soft-Resets the Icons disappear and the original Icon gets back...
I already cleared the WinMo-Icons-Cache, and in JWMD the modified icons are still shown....
Has Anyone an idea how to solve this properly?
Thanks!
I am testing a "solution" now
Like told in my first post, i copied the url-files into the startmenu...
Now, I keep them in der favorites-folder, and only copy a shortcut into the startmenu...
Now i got a real *.lnk - file, maybe it works better now...
But, anyway, if somebody has an idea????
...

Hello everybody.
I'm searching for the image-file of the sub-slider (don't know the name) on the lockscreen.
The attached file shows the slider I'm searching for.
I hope soomeone can help me!
Hello again.
I browsed through the Windows Directory and finally found the images.
But now I'm searching for the message, email and phone icon on these sliders.
I attached the files I found in the Windows directory. I'm searching for these icons on the sliders. If someone got them please post it. BUt please with transparent background (e.g. png format) so I can put these icons directly on an other image without some borders or so.
Edit:
The images can be found with the following filenames in the windows directory.
htc_icn_em_dn.png
htc_icn_em_up.png
htc_icn_mc_dn.png
htc_icn_mc_up.png
htc_icn_sms_dn.png
htc_icn_sms_up.png
htc_icn_vm_dn.png

i'm wondering if there is a way to do away with the slider bar in the default wm6.5 home screen. in the pic below (i'm a new user so just copy/paste without spaces, lol.) i just slid the bar all the way to the top to take a screenshot, and i wanna know if i can just remove it for a simple clean homescreen.

Why not switch to "classic today" screen, then check out the themes forum for themes you can apply or search for specific plugins? Is it just that you want the titanium function but not the outline around the selected panels? I'm not sure how to do that, but it should be possible by editing the xml file.
well, when i switch to the classic today screen, or just uncheck Windows Default, under Items, i lose the transparency of the toolbar and taskbar. i guess that if i cold just get rid of the big dark bar in the middle of my screen i would be satisfied. i would just like to be able to see my wallpapers. and yes, i want the titanium function but not the outline around the selected panels.
Ok, gotcha. I don't know off-hand how to do that, though It probably would be as simple as editing the file, or finding the .png that is of that image (in the windows directory) and replacing it with a panel that is completely transparent.
Maybe someone with some experience will come along that already knows how to do that.
To get you started, you may want to look at this theme, which has already made the panels transparent. if you like it, you can just use it. Otherwise, you could potentially compare the xml files, of find the transparent image that he is using in there and copy it over to your device. It's been a long time since i checked/looked, but the xml that controls the sliding panels today screen is usually something like home.xml or something.
[note: if your phone is not touchscreen, use/look at this thread instead]
If you start playing around, back everything up first! You may also want to browse the "post your screenshots thread" and see if you don't come across some other UI that you like better (or another theme w/o the panels). good luck!

Yes, you can but you need to edit the bronzeres.dll check this thread to learn how to do it, backup first your original file.
Check these screens from my phone

The bronzeres.dll is on the windows directory, but modifying the dll is more complicated than editing xml or cpr files, in my previous post there is a link where you can learn how to unsigne, edit, resign the dll file.
