Introduction
Ok, so some of you may have seen my first clocks I've every made - know as the geek clocks. I would like to explain myself then continue this beautiful idea I have.
As many of you know, as soon as you take out your HD2 people awe over it's size but always end up asking - is that an iPhone? Then a conversation opens, and they say - so why wouldn't you just get an iPhone? Valid question for people who don't actually know how to use a cellphone. But we then show them how much better our cell really is. But truthfully, no one cares about specs - they care about looks. It's like at a bar: you don't go over to the nicest girl, you go over to the hottest girl.
So therefore, I would like to introduce to you the new Ultimate Geek Redesign! The idea is to have a funny, geeky, spiffy way to show off our cellphones just from our homescreen. I call this a redesign and not a theme is because I plan on making it a continual work in progress, as well as having multiple clocks/locks/softkeys/etc. so you can pick whatever you want without me picking your theme for you.
I am currently a beginner at all this jazz and the only thing I know how to use is photoshop. My cabs probably aren't made perfectly (although they work - I proved that on my cell) and I don't understand the coding at all... although I am currently trying to learn. Although, now that I think about it, that means my stuff's probably better for you - you know, "beginner's luck"
I will be constantly adding widgets to here (I've been working for 2 days and see how far I've gone already) so check back often.
If you have any ideas to build on what I have or new designing projects, or can help me with the programming bit, please pm me or reply to me here!
Now for the REDESIGNING!
Table of Contents:
CamoLock - The Invisible Lock Screen
InvisibleLock - I don't exist
No Entry - Do not enter! lock
The Ultimate Geek Clock - we just wanna show off
Digi-Geek Clock - For Those Digitalized Geeks
Binary Clock - It's Time to Work with Powers (pun intended)
The CamoLock- The invisible (camouflaged) lock screen
Who wants to be able to see there lock button - just just takes up room and looks, well, not so nice This is for cht's lockscreen - windows style! (When you hold it down it turns normal again - then let go and it disappears... magic!)

NEW!!! Invisible Lock
No screen shot for this - its actually invisible, only pressing on it makes it visible again!
No Entry Lock Screen
We don't anyone touching or messing around with our cell - it's time to share that!
The Ultimate Geek Clock
Link to its page is here.
Digi-Geek Clock (same link as before) [please use 24 clocks people - that's what geeks are for )
Softkeys in the pictures above (they are minimal to leave our beautiful screen more room!)
Binary Clock - the ultimate geek way to tell time without anyone every knowing!
(The time is 1:56 - I hope you could tell)
By they way, this is only for 24 hour clocks - because, of course, we are geeks!
Works in progress:
Backgrounds (although more ideas would be nice!)
Locks
Email/Messages Skins
More Softkeys
Ideas for anything would be greatly appreciated, and again, anyone who can help with the programming lua and mode9 or whatever that stuff is would be amazing!

I am a mathematician, my friend.
I must use this.
I think a good idea is the not seeable lock key. I think that would be nic. It will be like camo but visible will be only the arrov on the sides

For some reason the invisible lock isn't working on my phone. Any ideas why?

Just as a quick guess, it's because you don't have the CHT lockscreen set or it's not set to windows style... in any case after you install you have to restart sense - but I actually currently have it installed on mine so it is possible - I would put up a screen shot but I feel like that might be a waste of room
In any case check your settings then get back to me
good luck
lovely work! does the camolock work with cht 1.85? cheers!

To tell you the truth - I have no idea... but if you want I can give you the png files and you can somehow stick them in yourself lol or you can just try it and see what happens... I don't totally understand the coding stuff just the photoshop

If you meant to ask: "is there an easier way to change backgrounds without CHT the answer is yes - search the forums but it should be in your settings somewhere on top...

Hi,
I am about to embark upon changing the menu icons and screen touches that leave the green behind. Before I do I wanted to see if anyone had already successfully changed this FULLY rather than on just one screen and also one that works on the topaz. Any I have found so far either do not work or do a partial job.
Obviously if someone has done it already I would be keen to ive their work a try as this will be my first modding task and admittedly think I am starting at the deep end.
Also any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. If my work is succesful I will of course attempt to upload it for others to use
Thanks
CFC GUI is your friend, you can extract and replace all the graphics using it.
Which one(s) have you found that worked partially?
I have spent hours trawling through the various forums to find snippets from here and there, but in all honesty I'm a bit lost.
I found a 'T-Mobile' file which looks nice, but I have yet to try it on the device (because it hasn't arrived yet )
I will definitely be wanting to change away from green, so if/when you figure it out then please do let us (me) know how. Blue or grey is my target.
Here you go, green to blue with the attached CAB.
[UPDATE]
Changed all non-TF3D green highlighting/switches/buttons to blue also!
Due to CAB size, I've put it on my RapidShare account, no need to wait for download as it's been made a TrafficShare download.
Have left original version available for download for those who only want TF3D modified.

TD2 Green to Blue v2.cab (6114.0 KB, Unlimited views)
Enjoy!
Fantastic! Thanks hoosbude.
Sadly my device didn't arrive today as expected, so I'm still waiting. However, I shall look forward to trying your CAB and seeing what type of 'blue' you've provided.
Can you explain how you did it? What tool(s) did you use, and is it easy to do? Mostly I'm quite happy with TF3D, but I'd like to learn how to mess with the colours a little.
Yes, I have read and searched, and I got as far as finding Max TF3D Theme Maker - it looks a bit too much for what I need. Is this the way to go, or is there a simpler solution?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the cab. I will give it a try. admittedly I put the project on hold due to a cosmetic issue my phone picked up similar to this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=522813
So my motivation to start any projects will be gone until I either get a replacement or repair. Hopefully your cab will do the trick

I used CFC GUI to extract the graphics then used Photoshop to change the hue, then used CFC GUI to re-implant the graphics to the original format then made the CAB. It took me about 40mins to do from start to finish (I did alter 47 files! also I made the boot picture blue too as a bonus!!)
Cab appears to work great only thing i have noticed that is not blended into the blue touch colour scheme is the communications tab of the settings menu which still has the green slide bars. If you fancy changing that it would be perfect.
To answer the question somebody asked earlier about other similar things i tried there is one made by lexirae (cant find the link now) that removes the touch coloured panel on the front screen with a transparent touch, There was also one made for the globe but think it was for a cooked rom as it made my opera browser inoperable and a hard reset was needed.

Yeah I noticed that also, the graphics for that were not shown by CFC GUI so that's why they were missed!
If anyone knows which files they are in I'd be much obliged (although I will google it later when I have the time)
Think the file you are looking for is 471b0a55_manilla
It is labelled in CFC-GUI under settings SWITCH_ON
If I am incorrect and you have already looked at this then apologies

You are indeed incorrect, I modified that one, it is used on the Alarm Clock page.
[Update]
Changed everything now, see post #4
Thank you hoosbude, I like it.

Yes, but not for a while, go other projects that are taking priority at the mo.
hoosbude, I worship you...
My TD2 arrived today and I'm loving it - for a device so seemingly similar to my Xperia, the Xperience is completely transformed...slick, quick and much more user friendly.
I love what you've done with the blue highlighting, which really sets everything off nicely (well, nearly everything - there's still the odd rogue greenie around such as the HTC task manager highlights, but I'll live with that).
Thanks so much, you don't know how much happier this makes me with my new toy.

yeah I haven't found that one, but if you change the theme from htc black then back to it you'll notice that normal windows highlights change from green to blue
good job! continue monitoring

Yes, thanks. I discovered that by accident (I installed my old Xperia black theme, but then needed to delete it so I changed to HTC black in preparation and noticed that this worked as well so I don't need my Xperia them at all).
Looking good.
Really a great job !!!
I install your cab and my phone is very nice now, thanxxxxxxxxxxxxx !!!
The last "green touch", in my phone is on the screen where it ask for sim code (just after booting)... The "enter" case is still green... Could you do anything for that ?
If needed I can send you a picture of the screen, but, for the moment, I haven't any camera in my desk do that !
is there a lightgray version of this?
So the last few days I have been playing with a 3D program. I'm not the best that is for sure but I have ideas that I can sometimes get into the computer properly. I'm more of a true pencil and paper kind of guy. I really need to get a tablet so I can start doing something better in Photoshop. Just can't use a mouse to save my life to draw......Anyway I'll stop my rambling. I was wondering if anybody wanted the use of some 3D Android models. They can be plugged into photoshop for full 360° viewing. You should also be able to move his arms/legs/head if you want to go that far.
I posted some pictures of tabs that I have made with an earlier model in the "Post Your Today screen" thread. But I have since made a new model that is a bit cleaner.

Some of the tabs I made with the earlier model.I also have some of the objects that I made.Just to give you an idea what can be done with them. I also believe I can do some animation with them with another program,I haven't checked on it yet but it should be do able.

I'm not really into skinning right now. I'm waiting for MaxSense to really get into doing a theme. That is why I started making these but if somebody else wants to possible use them for something I'm game and can send the files to you. Just PM if you would like to use them.
Haha, pretty interesting take on the Android.
Yeah these are really nice, great job! You should look into releasing a slider set, Im sure you would get a lot of takers
The one thing I need to look into now that I have a good model I like, is the animating. I'm thinking something like..............
An unlock screen with the droid pushing the slider when you swipe it. Have his legs fully animated. maybe have him switch from pushing with his hand to his should or back. This way if you only swipe half way it looks like it's pushing him back when it returns to center or what ever?
I really don't know how involved that one would be but it would be cool.
like i said in the leo screen thread very nice and please release a slider set
and pleeeeease share your awesome clockbackground ....
i really want this!!!
...
Ya if I release a slider it will not be anytime soon. I just really don't want to make that many different models then have to put them into manila pages. I have started but as usual I'm never satisfied enough and will change it after a day or so. Since making the new model I will have to fully redo the ones I have done. Granted I have most other the object models so it will be easier then the first time bit I will still have to redo some of those now that I have more of a grasp on the 3D program.
The clock bezel might happen but that is one of the reasons I wanted the 3D program. I wanted to redo do it in a true 3D appearance so it's either the tabs come first or I drop them and start the bezel, lol.
he nice work looking real cool ( I really like the ereader tab ) keep on going .
that is awesome!!!! lol... please make this available!!! also, if its not too much to ask, can you post your wallpaper up for us to grab? thanks!!!! by the way, i think your 3d rendering looks great!!!
I told you boss...
There would be people to appreciate your work if you posted over here.
Great to see your icons in all of their glory.
Looks good as usual.
gr8 work mate.......can u give me cab for ur taskbar.....
thanx in advance.

The top bar is part of full screen on Max Manila. The wallpapaer will have to wait till I get home from work.
BRAVO!
GOOOOOOOD Job!
What program are you using?! I would like to make my own Android sliders
It's a program from Nvidia called 3dvia it's free to use but it is an online program that is html based. It's pretty easy but yet annoying at the same time. Some things have to be thought out because of how you produce some shapes.
Here is another picture of the model from different view angles and different colors.
Finally made some hands that I could stand for then a few seconds.
I guess I could have resized it a bit.lol

I made the clock bezel a bit ago but I never made a cab. It's not ready for release nor do I think it will be released.
For anybody that has asked for the wallpaper.............

OK, so I am also running Android on my HD2 and have been knocked out by some of the layouts the guys in the Android threads have been coming up with. So I figured that now that Co0kie has opened up our home tabs to such amazingly versatile customisation it was about time that we brought some of that style to CHT! A couple of days ago I came across THIS on ClassicalGas's blog and just loved it so I thought I'd have a go at replicating the clock as a CHT widget, and here it is:
{
"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 is semi-transparent as you can see and works best on a black or dark background. The outer ring is the minute indicator, the inner the hours and the small dot the second hand. Again there is a widget specific font which in this instance is SonySketch which I found on dafont.com HERE.
The dock came from vide infra over in the Evo forum HERE which I edited, and the softkeys based on the periodic table are all mine. I have also made a partial set of CHT toggles to go with this theme too. If anyone wants the dock/icons/toggles just ask and I'll add them in here along with photoshop templates so you can extend the sets if you want to.
MASSIVE THANKS to rat_2665 and Poyensa for all of their help and mentoring through my first widget builds! I couldn't have done it without your patience guys
Look forward to the new clock widget.
so there are a few times i get excited over clocks and keys...often i just make 'em for myself or use stock. but this, this is one of those times i am excited!
it hits such a great vibe with me. i am looking fwd to your release (i hope the softkeys will come with it!) keep up the fantastic work!

Well any ideas for a clock? Digital or Analog? And as far as softkeys?
It's been a while since I've seen farscape (last time was in highschool) so my knowledge of it is small at best, but I did like it. Maybe I can give some a go if we get some concrete ideas going.

Hey mrhayami! Yeah I was 19 when the came out. Am 30 now, but have been watching Farscape via netflix. Anyway, I was thinking maybe using the Moya communicator thing as maybe a sms widgit or analog clock. Some kind of wait cursor or any ideas you may have. Nordpolcamper has already made a few things for me. I also have a Farscape font but dont know hot to cab it up so the whole phone is Farscape font. Anyway, any ideas you may would be great!
Here is screen shot with the different toggles and slider that Nordpolcamper made, not all are shown.
I was thinking this could be made into a clock -

Hi everyone! I really hope someone can help. I have this Farscape font that I would like to use to change the font of the whole phone. I have seen threads on how to do it but I can honestly say I dont fully understand how to do it , nor do I have the programs to do so. I really hope someone knows how and doesnt mind cabbing it up for me.
Anyway I will post a few links to show what i am talking about along with the font file.

AWESOME! I really appreciate it.
I've created a clock out of the picture posted above in post #6.
With a couple of suggestions from darkwolfelite, I've made the hour/minute hands into Qualta Blades and it's now ready for release (cab file attached).
If you have any suggestions/criticisms, please feel free to do so - this is my first clock and first mod of any kind so all comments are welcome!
Enjoy!
Ive just made a cab for the font that darkwolfelite posted.
Im just about to test it and see what happens.........
**20 mins later.......**
ok...........
@ darkwolfelite, in response to the points you mentioned yesterday.
Ive got all the fonts within sense changed + 80% of the default Winmo menus.
The "Start" text is controlled by a .dll which is not something Ive ever tinkered with and can be notoriously difficult to get working.
Im working on getting the WM softkeys to appear in the farscape font.
The best part is......... the cab is uninstalling so no need for a hard reset.
Im gonna have a few more attempts at acheiving "total coverage"......
Ok, this is what Ive got so far. Softkeys arent happening and I dont know why. Still looking for the right reg entry I guess.
Quite a lot of the phone is covered, all sense menus, many wm menus, some apps.
The downside, the font is quite small and some things can be difficult to read.
Its possible to adjust font sizes using a registry editor.
Go to the root of the registry and search for "font".
Flick through all instances looking for entries relating to font size and adjust as required.
Cab attached. Will continue looking into this in the quest for "total coverage"....
Now I am watching Farscape season2 episode 4
Thank you.
Hey conantroutman thanks for everything you are doing! I appreciate it alot! As far as the font being to small, I have the sk tools so I think I can change the font size with it.
And as far as the "start" word I was wondering if cabs can be broken down in reverse to like see whats in it and maybe how it was done? I don't know if that's possible but if so I have a Lucidia handwriting cab from I think sarcy (Major_Sarcasm) that I know changes the "start" but can't remember if it did WM softkeys. Either way I really like the cab and am looking forward to the "Total Coverage" but am very happy with what you've done!
BTW: Your taskbar? For 6.5 or 6.5x?

Nice! I only have one episode left Well also The Peace Keeper wars movie!
No problem, happy to help.
Post that cab and ill have a look inside. I know how to do the start button in theory but I've never actually done it.
I think the soft keys are just a matter of searching for the right reg entries.
The taskbar is tacchan's dusk taskbar and I think there is a version for both 6.5 and 6.5.x
Sent from my fingers to your face...

No problem! Side note, SK Tools didn't change the font size in Sense, but its ok I will try the Reg edit thing you mentioned.
Nice. I will look into the taskbar thanks!
P.S to all. The cab file in this post is not mine nor do I claim it to be. It is by sarcy(Major_Sarcasm) I believe.
Right, so I've been working on this clock today and I think it's gone pretty well.
The clock face is Moya and the hour/minute hands are Peacekeeper Prowlers - the only thing is the hands are rather dark against Moya.
Hope you like it
nice!

Nice clock Bunglechunk! I LIKE it! I agree with the hands being dark and also noticed the minute hand might not be connected. I will post a pic! Either way everything keeps getting better and better.
Hello Guys and Gals...
I have always wanted to have my phone UI as clean and simple as possible and because I felt the need for it..I have a design idea in mind.
NOTE: I am not a skinner and have never skinned any Windows Mobile App before.
If anyone would like this design to be implemented please let me know. For we might be able to make it possible.
Thanks. Show your support if you like it.
It needs to be implemented into a real theme/skin.
This is just a mockup idea/concept.

nice, it is good to have on your phone
The lock slider shouldnt be a problem. If you work with the Manila slider that can easily be taken care of. The Clock would be very simple to get ready too, because there are so many digital clocks out here that you might just need to change the font.
If I am not wrong, BeO had a weather widget like that, so that would be covered too.
The notification icons could be tricky, but you could just make the text part a part of your wallpaper and then you would have everything

thanks dude...for the encouragement.. !
i bet you will have much more knowledge in this subject than me.
as i said..its just a concept...i dont know how to implement it...so if anyone is willing to help...it would be great.
the weather icons was an option for me...as i have 2-3 design ideas but this kind of looked good...which i stumbled upon !! just a mockup...
i think this needs to done via CHT ??? prolly ???

Might be the case, but I cant find any time, so I just wanted to point it out, that someone else, that has the necessary skills has kind of a guide
It looks very nice, and I bet that a whole lot of people would be using this.
You are correct you would need to edit the manila lockscreen from CHT. That would be 2 simple manila files and then you have the lock.
For the clock I would recommend you take a look into BeOs thread or ask poyensa for help, because if you cant find a clock that exactly looks like that, you or whoever you can find needs to mod the mode9 files of the typoclock. That however isnt thaaat hard either. The same goes for the weather widget and then you are ready to go

thanks man. I will look into it...ASAP and will try to start it if more people take interest in it....or might still make it for own use !!
yep it looks very POSSIBLE.
the notifications being text like that looks like the hardest and not done as of yet. as far as that weather I have seen MrBeO post a screenshot like that or very similiar. may have been a mock i dont know. shoot him a pm or post in his thread hes good about getting back to people.
that clock would be cool if it had SimClock capabilities ie; the links,comm stuffs, background etc.
definately looks good and interesting.
EDIT: I switched permanently to Android !! seems like wont be working on this !! Sorry....
IF anyone is interested PM me...I shall give you the files !
