This lockscreen seems to be a CHT lockscreen, as such theE-mail, SMS, missed called are named:
CHT_slider_email.png
CHT_slider_messages.png
CHT_slider_missedcalls.png
I have posted here the original files from CHT Tab Mod
Thanx steve 0007,so do I just need to find the icon I want and rename it to CHT_slider_messages.png,and then stick it a folder somewhere?
thanx for you help mate
sms count
its not the icon I was looking for,but at least now I know how to change them all.
thank you very much for your help steve
one more thing....do you know what the little blue circle is called that has the number of sms's...might try and change that too

yes thats the "bubble" I want to change...looks like I need to work out how to edit the file now.
photoshop I can do,cfc-gui I need to work out still.
I had a look at your post on using it....still not sure how to edit yet.
thanx again

true that..there needs to be a good solid tutorial on cfcgui.
there is an quick old one that bignadad posted on ppcgeeks in the tp2 forum that you could look up. I'm not at my desktop at the moment so I apologize not pointing you to the link.
hope you get it worked out.
cheers.

Well its actually quite easy I will give it a try to explain what you want to do
At first it is important to create 2 folders on your desktop. One should be named "Manila" and the other one "Images" ( its not really neccessary to use these exact names, but in my opinion it lets you keep the oversight )
You want to put the manila files you want to work with into the manila folder.
There are 2 tasks that I use cfcgui for.
1. Extracting Images from manila files.
2. Replacing the existing images inside the manila files with the one I created.
I will start with number 1.
You put the manila file into the "Manila" folder and then start cfcgui. Then you go to file->select folder and choose the "Manila" folder. That defines from where the program will get the manila files.
After you selected the folder your manila file(s) will be displayed on the left side of the screen. If you want to take the image out of a certain manila then just select the manila file in the list and click Save As in the lower right corner. And then select the place where you want to save the png. I wouldnt recommend saving it in the "Images" folder .
Thats all to extracting pics from manilas
Now for 2.
Lets say you have created an image that you want to put inside a manila file. Of course you first have to make sure, that the dimensions of your image are the same as the original .
You have to put this image into the "Images" folder and start cfcgui. You have to select the "Manila" folder again through file->select folder. After that choose the manila file you want the image to be placed in, in the list on the left. Then in the lower right corner click Replace with.. and choose the image file in your "Images" folder.After you pressed ok you are already done Now you can close cfcgui and you have the modified manila file in the "Manila" folder. It still has the old name, but the image will be changed
Thats basically what cfcgui works like.
There is something else, that might be of use though, too.
If you want to have like 5 different images stored into the same manila file, then instead of making the steps in 2. five times you can simply put all the image files into the "Images" folder and your 1 manila file into the "Manila" folder. Then you start cfcgui and select the "Manila" folder again .
Now you wanna click Tools->Import from PNGs. Then you select the "Images" Folder and the program does the rest for you
This will put all the png files you put into the "Images" folder into the manila file. So it basically does all the steps in 2. as often as there are pngs in your "Images" folder.
You will then have 5 manila files in your "Manila" folder. Which each have the name of the png file and no longer of the manila itself. So you just have to rename them to the right manila name and you are done.
Thats basically all I use cfcgui for and all I know about it
Hope that helped some of you

Gday mate,I did have a look at that post and have got to the png stage with it in photoshop.
for some reason the cfcgui interface is not showing up on my screen properly?
I cant get to the buttons on the bottom right of the screen.
but I guess it cant be too easy...that would be no fun

ok I have made and replaced my "bubble" png in to cfcugi.
now to get it on to my phone do I just "export to device" ?
nope...that didnt change it...maybe export changes as CFC/QTC's?

Mhm I dont try to directly expoort it to my device because I was told, that it is much safer just trnasferring it manually so that not accidently other files are beeing changed. I would recommend you just take the manila file out of the "Manila" folder and put it somewhere you remember on your phone and then use total commander or resco etc to copy it into windows. if you did everything right then you are asked to replace an existing file and you are done
success
it worked!!
I used total commander to replace the file and there it is!!
I know it does not look like much,but now I know how to do it I can make something better.
thank you to everyone for your help
...can you point me in the direction of the top taskbar files?

ähm...well....the taskbar isnt nearly as easy as what we did right here. There is no simple editing of files and you are done. YOu have to put up .dll files and so much other stuff. If you search the forum you will surely find someone who can explain that to you, but I would recommend you first master one craft and then go to the next
But of course, just try and see how far you get
lol...yes i think you might be right there!
im happy with my M6silver i have now,its just the sent,sending sms and mms icons dont work ...but that can wait till tomorrow lol
and thanx for your black sms widget,I like that one
lol..... I just found your blue "honeycomb" sms widget....that one looks better on my blue phone, and already pretty much has the same bubble.
missed call icon
getting there bit by bit.....
now I just need to find the name of the missed call icon on the home screen in minila
thats so awesome thank you.
I was under the impression thats you had to have the device hooked into the desktop. so cfcgui would send the newly created manila file into the windows folder. so now, as long as your aware what manila file is what graphic your good. its finding which is which thats the pain.
ok so I ask you what exactly "mode9" and "qtc" is and what do they do?
one other thing what is all this patching, trim, padding and cfc compress?
anything we should be greatly concerned about?
thanks again for taking the time to explain this.
btw your new clock widget is really nice.

It follows the same rules as the messages and mail images. So it should be 128x128

Yes, I thought so too at the beginning, but to me it feels much more easy to do it on the pc alone That also lets you have Backups of your manila files
I dont really know what the patching, trim, padding and cfc compress commands do. But I was told, that for the things we do. And that is extracting and replacing this is not needed. I am doing this now for quite a time and I have never come across an issue with those. So just ignore them
Well there are basically 3 different manila files: Mode9, Lua and QTC.
QTC manila files are the image manila files, that we can use to replace images inside the manila or extract images. They more or less give you the visual layout.
The Mode9 Manila mostly handles Font colors, the arrangement of components, font sizes etc. For my Pulse Clock Widget I of course had to make a mode9 file, too. That defines, where the text appears and what color, size and font are beeing used. But if you want some more detailed insight, then just visit poyensas thread. He is the master of the mode9 files
The Lua manila files are only needed for widgets. They define how the widget should work with the device. For example whether it is resizable, pinnable, where it should get information from and if it has layouts. This one basically is the mechanics of the widget.
So just keep in mind.
Mode9 = Creating visible/invisible Components
Lua = defining the mechanics of the Widget and working with the components from the mode9 file
QTC = the easiest to work with and used to put images into a widget or something similar.
Hope that didnt make it more complicated. And of course my explanation here isnt far as good and accurate then what others can explain to you. But I think it covers the basics
Thanks for your praise I updated the cab, so you should check back

Theres one thing I have to say before I begin: Make good skins!
Theres nothing wrong on reusing stuf from others (with due credits and permission, if needed) but dont go for the easy mix, make some good graphics with cool transparencies and plently of bling.
Please dont make ugly skins (like I did) for example, the M2D skin thread is huge, but only some are thrully nice and different.
Each person has its own taste, but lets all make an effort to raise the bar.
The skin change can be as simple as editing the 2 main images: The main tab and the minimized tabs, you can do much, much more, but those 2 images are the main change to the visual effect.
The minimized tab is very simple, its just a PNG inside the Windows folder named CHome_listback.png (its hidden, so use Resco Explorer if needed).
The main tab is a png inside a DLL with other icons, for that you need to edit the DLL with a special program.
To edit the DLL (containg the main graphics and icons):
----------------------------------------------------
- Download ans install the PE Explorer trial: http://www.heaventools.com/download.htm
- Copy bronzeres.dll from the Windows folder to your SD card then to your PC.
- Open the DLL in PE Explorer and click on View > Resources
- See all the files inside the RC Data folder and double-click the png number 3000 for portrait or 4000 for landscape.
- Import a new PNG into that new screen and save the dll when finished (backup yours first).
- Download, export an open MSigner and open your dll inside this software.
- Copy that dll into your SD Card and then into the Windows folder (use Resco explorer if it denies access).
- Reset and enjoy.
To change the layout of the plugin you need to edit the Titanium_*.cpr file on your Windows folder (like Titanium_240x320.cpr, or whatever your screen resolution is), its a "simple" XML inside, you can see it with Notepad.
See this link for a detailed explanation of it:

Great tutorial...
Many Thanks
Thanks, Iwas trying to look at the bronzeres.dll with reshacker and getting really confused. All I saw was a bunch of code. No images. I'll try this PE Explorer out. Anybody know if there is a chrome or grey theme already? Do we not need to sign the dll as in previous skinning like taskbar?
Hmmm... to be honest I dont remenber if I signed it, I dont think i did... :/
PNG Format
Hi TWolf,
thanks for the perfect instructions. Just tried myself. WAnt to change the 3000.png. But if I export it into Photoshop and create a new one with transparnency Titanium just shows background after having copied the new dll.
Do you know the specifications of the PNG?
Thanks
Januwar
there is also a tutorial for cpr files?
would be nice like the one for manila 2d, where people put lines and explanations...

The link on the first post of Titanium Walkthrough by drkfngthdragnlrd has some info on that.
when i replace the file and reboot it. I get a blank today screen and its set on windows default so i guess i'm doing something wrong. Same problem as januwar
Thats strange, could you test this?
Open your file on the signer and after its signed try to put it on the windows folder again...
I wasnt sure this step was really needed..
signed file works
thank you!!!
now just a question...how to add icons to "collapsed" tabs?
what i understood is that is possible to link to an external icon or use one in the bronzeres.dll...
...i'd like to know how
Thanks, added to the tutorial.
That depends of the plugin, if it uses icons that are inside this dll, then they can be changed too... If they use external pngs, thats even easier.
yes but only if the plugin already has the code to display an icon in the cpr right?
dont' know...it's the right place to ask for an example?
how to add an icon (not to change only) can you show the lines to add to the cpr for a generic tab? maybe it's possible to use the chome editor, i saw some registry entries related to icons in tabs editor...
something easy...newbie level please
its exacly the same procedure, just instead of being that icon number, its another one... :/
In some cases, if you edit the registry to a full path png file, it will use it.
no sorry maybe i didn't explain myself...
default plugins in titanium has only text when not selected, right?
now if i want (like i saw in some themes) to add an icon on the left to a non selected tab i think i have to edit the cpr and add some lines to create a link to a number in case of bronzeres or to an external png.
what i need is an example of these lines to add to cpr so i can replicate on my own for all my installed plugins.
i hope i've been more clear this time
ps :sorry for the dumb question as i told you i'm newbie, thank you for your help
Theres already a thread, as I said, to show ppl how tu use the cpr files... :/
You can see a example of what I did here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3788297&postcount=45
I added this to the condensed view of my resolution cpr:
Code:
<Image ID="[B]ICON[/B]" Left="0" Top="0" Width="36" Height="36" />
And this to the registry:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CHome\system\CondensedPage]
"[B]ICON[/B]"="\\[I]My Documents\\Themes\\Titanium System Panel\\sd.png[/I]
thank you
i've read the walkthrought but i couldn't find these...maybe i have to search in the whole thread

OK...color me stupid, but I don't see CHome_listback.png on my device...I read and followed:
"The minimized tab is very simple, its just a PNG inside the Windows folder named CHome_listback.png (its hidden, so use Resco Explorer if needed)."
from the first post, but it is not there. it sharts with CHome_send..... and then a list of CHome_ Win..... images, but no CHome_listback.png!!
Any suggestions or ideas as to why?
Thanks
Strange, maybe it could be a different build, to be sure, copy my png from the UGLY SKIN to your Windows folder.

I'm using NRGZ rom on the Diamond
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,

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.
First, I have to credit and thank the creators of CHT 1.8.5. Hands down for the masters and thank you for making the HD2 much more enjoyable. Thanks to brent372 for the tip on Total Commander.
Inspirational support (does that exist? Yah, from today on it does) came from snowblindman2142, conantroutman and Paten from the today screen topic.

Prior to editing I would advise you to copy all your manila files from your \window root and save it in a folder in which you do not edit your files. If you mess up or are fed up with your adapted manila files, you can alwas revert to the old ones.
Things we’re going to do:
Extract stuff
Edit stuff
Upload stuff
Programs we’ll need:
Image editing software
CFC GUI (to extract/convert manila files; can also do this with m9editor)
M9editor (to adapt XML-parameters)
Total Commander CE (to place manila files back into your \windows root of your HD2)
These programs are part of the Manila Kitchen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=528548.
Total Commander CE is freeware and can be found at http://www.ghisler.com/ce.htm
Extract stuff:
-Backing up files and make a work-file
So let’s say you make a backup file called D:\OML\ and D:\AML\ (original manila list and adapted manila list, respectively). Copy all the manila files from your device you can find . You don’t touch the OML-file EVER unless you want the old file. Instead we are going to use the AML-file in CFC GUI and m9editor. Make an additional folder D:\AML\PNG\ for the edited images.
-Load work list in CFC GUI
Start CFC GUI and click File > Select folder. Select D:\AML\
The program now displays a list of manila files on the left side and scroll down till you find 32820efc_manila. Select and then click on “Save as…” in the lower right corner. Now, save this as 32820efc_manila.png in the D:\AML\PNG\ folder.
Edit stuff:
-Edit your mail background
Basically you need the plain ‘white note’ with the two lines as a template for the upper box (name of the sender, date and subject), body text, and lower box (account name and mailcount). For simplicity’s sake, we just let the position of the text in these boxes in the same place. If you want to, you can change the positions using mode9, but this takes a higher level of extreme geeking.
In this case we use Photoshop CS2 and I use a simple three-bubble layout. I won’t go into much detail about designing your lay-out, just a way to keep the correct boundaries for the texts in those three areas.
Open D:\AML\PNG\32820efc_manila.png and you will see the white note. Let’s put up some horizontal guides:
1. make a new guide and tick horizontal and place them at, say, 2 cm
2 and 3. use the selector tool to move the guides over the lines
Now go frenzy on your design; mine is just dark blue for the top and bottom bubble and a light background for the body text in the middle big bubble.
Save your file with the same name (you can always get the old one from the back-up file) and go back to CFC GUI. Select again 32820efc_manila in the list on the left and now click on “Replace with…” Select your adapted file in the D:\AML\PNG\ folder and you’ll see the background has changed. Hoorah… Now click on “Pad”
Copy this new 32820efc_manila from your D:\AML\ folder to your SD-card of your HD2. Startup Total Commander and copy it to your \windows root folder. Restart your device and you should end up with this:
…but the black characters on a dark background are hard to read, so let’s change the font color.
-Edit your mail font color
To change these parameters we use m9editor. Open it and probably you’ll get an error. Just click “Ok” and when asked for work paths fill in D:\AML\
You’ll see it resembles CFC GUI, but in here you can also edit mode9 files. The parameters we have to change are in 3da9711b_manila so double click on it in the list.
You will see a tree opening in the upper panel. Now expand D:\AML\3da9711b_manila > movie > library manager > library and expand the fifth <character…>
Now take a look in the picture below what we have to change:
If you’re a bit of a programmer the Instance Names give away what object controls which text line so for instance <Property> Name=Instance Name Value=“SenderText” controls the parameters for the name of the sender (selected in picture above). We also have to repeat this for the other four lines (date, subject, account name and mail count)
So let’s change the RGB values for this one to make it more visible. Let’s change this in white and the RGB codes are 255,255,255 for white (look it up on the internet or in Photoshop).
Once you’ve clicked ok, you can move to the next line. When finished editing, save your manila file (you might need to remove your old manila file, since it’s read-only).
As mentioned earlier, copy the D:\AML\3da9711b_manila to your SD card and with Total Commander to your \windows root. Reboot device and your mail now should look like this:
Happy editing!

UPDATE August 23rd, 2010
You can edit the landscape view by adapting 0656d327_manila the same way (Thanks to mickael91210!)

Good Job!
For those people who don't have Photoshop, I use Gimp, which is free, to edit my image files. I'm no expert in creating any designs but for simple things it gets the job done for me.
This is a really nice tutoriall!! Well done sir

You might want to swap that screenshot for a new one....... with Green Tab Names.... it will change all the tabs btw......
Doodkapje, I'll post the manila mode9 file for changing the tab titles in case you want to include that in your tutorial.....
Its just a case of opening up the file tree and changing the two colour values to whatever you want..
Thanks to poyensa and paten for that one
Can somebody add a delete button or option in the E-Mail Tab menu. That is my only mod I am hoping somebody will find a solution for at the moment.
Like deleting spam without having to open the inbox.

Spot on! Just tested, all but a couple work..
People-Green!
Messages-Geen!
Mail-Green! <--looks soo cool mow
Internet-White (might be down to a cab I use that removes all the bits around the search bar and leaves just the search window)
Calender-Green!
Stocks-Green!
Photos&Videos-Green!
Music-Green untill the album art loads then goes white..
Twitter-Green!
Footprints-Green!
Settings-Green!
So nearly all of them
This is amazing. Prob the best TUT I have seen on this. I head read some others, but let's face it, not everyone knows how to give instructions.
Questions:
* Is there anything that has a list of all Manila files and what they do?
* Do you know of any other TUTS on Manila mods or Theme Creation? (I have a bunch of Theme Ideas i would love to try
* Any TUTs on editing task bars, soft bars, or quick links? How about Toggle switches
Once again, TY TY TY!
Medievil Mail......
@snowblind.....
I didnt notice that, but I tested all the colours I did and they all do that.....
Either those tabs are affected by a different manila file or I need to add "color" values in somewhere in the file Im using.......
If I figure it out I'll let you know........

Its all over the phone Im afraid..........
However, from what I saw when I was changing the mode9 file there were things related to fonts. Im hoping that I might be able to assign certain fonts to certain tabs, Im not sure if it would be possible to restrict it to just one tab or if it would have to be on all (except music and internet) of them.......
I have no knowledge of programming at all so looking through those mode9 files means nothing to me, its easy enough to pick out where the colours / fonts / sizes are but I have no idea which part they relate to or where I would need to add in new values to change things.........
Thank you!
Thank you for the tut how to change the font colour. The skining was not my problem but the font colour.
Works fine!

Want to return the favor some day
First, the disclaimer...........
There shouldnt be any serious consequences to this.......however....
If something does go wrong you can restore your CHTS baseline/old layout and all will be well ........
As always you do this at your own risk...............
I strongly advise that you have a reliable baseline and save your current layout before messing about with anything............

If your not familiar with CHTS then have a look here

"Black n Blue" contains Negawolf's Black Sun CHT toggle set.

If you guys object to me including your work in these layouts then let me know and it will be removed ASAP.

For help, advice and encouragement.
Pakure, for his veryhelpful feedback regarding these layouts.
And of course Co0kiemonster, mike2nl, micheldiamond and everyone else behind the CHT Suite.
There are two ways to add this layout to your device......
CAB install MUST BE INSTALLED TO SD CARD
This will create a folder called "wallpapers" at the root of your SD card.
If you already have a folder with that name the walls will be added there.
When you change layout the walls will automatically change (hopefully )....
"Drag n Drop Method"
1 - Extract the zip file and place the folder inside on your SD card in the folder " _CHTScheduler".
2 - Create a folder at the root of your SD card called "wallpapers" and place the orange street walls in that folder
3 - Switch to the layout via CHTSwitchGui.........
IMPORTANT
For users with Non-English ROMS
Please note: The cab will only work on a WWE ROM due to the installation path....
If you would like to install on a non english ROM then please follow the "drag n drop" instructions above
or let me know the language you need it for and I will try to create one for your language........
Please Note - Previous modifications to your email/sms widgets will persist after installing this layout. You will also need to skin the taskbar/softkeybar via CHTWall.....
With that out of the way I present to you the first of my layouts for CHTScheduler.......Orange Street........
This is of course just a slimmed down CHTS version of the Orange Street theme by M0bmentality and myself,
the thread for the full theme can be found here
Download The Cab
Download The Zip

Can provide a cab to change the RSS feed text to blue but it will persist after switching layouts so I just left it out.......

No cab for this one, couldnt get it working. Seemed to crash sense.

Boot Screens Etc.........
Thanks to MadrauM and his awesome boot package I was inspired to make one of my own.
Figured I'd just post it here instead of spamming up the forum with another thread. If anyone has any requests for boot screens etc I'll try and find time to make them for you.
Thanks also to samsamuel for his tutorial on splash screens
First splash (where the RGD info shows)
Boot Animation
Welcomehead
To Install
The first splash has to be flashed to the device; follow these steps
1 - Unzip handdrawnsplash.bmp.rar to a folder on your desktop
2 - Connect you phone via activesync
3 - Run the CustomRuu that was in the zip
4 - Follow the on screen instructions
Dont worry no data wil be deleted from your device
The boot animation should be placed in your windows folder on device memory.
Rename to either "animated" or "LEO_animated"
(depends on device, check your windows folder to see which one you already have there)
The welcomehead is the same.
May need to be named either "welcomehead192" or "well"

yes, looks great, good email (blue) coloured widget, but an orange one would have been even nicer,
.......noticed that all previous quicklinks are gone, no overlapping from my original layout
.......the white wallpaper in tabs makes the text in mails, messages and calender unreadable (i havent changed the colour/ font of text yet)
.......yes, you mapped the cht soft keys perfect with the first one for home, instead of the middle default one
......all in all, a great step forward for chts layouts...success!!
now going for icons to match...i know, i can catch some from your original thread....but is there a way, we can also save icons to layouts, because you need to keep changing them back and forth to match with layouts, may be will see jmwd icon manager...remember seeing some option to save something...will post back
have a "wallpapers" folder already on sd card, but a new one was created with your walls
got a blue circular analog clock...not the square orange one from your screenshots (solved: orange one is the main clock)
didnot yet get the lockscreen...mmm, do i need to soft reset?.(solved: sorry, my bad........disabled cht lockscreen )..

ahhh ok, looks like I forgot a few things.....
blue clock and mail/sms widget is a leftover from another layout of mine because I didnt skin it for this one.... will post a fix for that in a short while...
the square analog clock is the standard sense analogue not the cht widget.
unreadable text because of the white wallpaper is because I keep my text black all the time......
About the wallpaper folder, im not sure why that happened, it didnt in my test. Will investigate the cab.....
Thankyou very much for the feedback, very helpful.....
will post files to get rid of the nasty clock and blue widgets soon.....
There is currently no way to save icons through CHTS but JWMD icon chsanger has the options to save an icon theme and switch between them quickly...

Is there a Tutorial on how to change an existing or create a new Softbar for CHT2?
Click to expand...

Sure out there are some tutorials, but its actually not that hard:
You will need the program cfc_gui and a program like gimp or photoshop. You have to find the 5E90131C_manila file in your windows directory and copy it to the sd card and after that put it somewhere on your pc.
Open cfc_gui and open the folder the manila file is in. Than in the lower right corner select save as and change it as a image file.
Now you will have a image with 512x128 pixels. Open in your photo editing program a document with these dimensions.
After that you can start editing or creating a new one. The other image is only a guide so that you dont create a file that isnt usable.
If you have the image ready, then just open cfc_gui again and select the 5E90131C_manila. then in the lower right corner you press replace and choose your image. Now you have the image stored in the manila file. After that you can take the 5E90131C_manila and put it into the windows directory of your phone and overwrite the old one. After that restart sense and you are done
Thank you!
I will try it.
If I am not able to do it, after your explanation, I have chosen the wrong profession (M.SC. Computer Science) *g*
btw.
You created some great Themes and Customizations!
In which Manila files will I find the icons for cusomization? Not only the background?

Hehe^^ I am sure you will manage that, if not, just ask again
The icons are a lot easier. Just make an image with 128x128 pixels and name it:
CHT_softkey_win
CHT_softkey_menu
CHT_softkey_tabslider
CHT_softkey_phone
CHT_softkey_web
and
CHT_softkey_lock
after that just place them in your windows directory of your device and after a sense restart you are done
Great, if I get some good results I will post them.
how can i link missed calls count and sms and email to softbar and show them insted of link to oben the default web, phone, slider, lock, etc
Check this thread if you havent already.
there is a couple examples and Nordpolcamper uploaded a little guide/ template.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=993177
for me it was hard to get it aligned perfectly. you could always paste a softkeybar on your wallpaper and use a transparent softkeybar as the actual bar itself.
let me know how it goes.
thanks but this is not what i was asking for ,, i want to to have my missed calls and sms email, notifications shown on task bar .. like the notification bar widget but the task bar counts it so i have for example in my taskbar instead od lock button an image (custom softkey) you know we have at CHTEditor>softkeys>custom key1,2,3 with run path1,..etc and command line and icon path but

Hehe^^ well the easiest way to make a cab is using Quick Cab. Just search it and you will find it Lanch the taxi like exe and then go to files, then select all your files on the left side and then select windows on the right side and press add.
After that go to create, select the name for your program, enter your name and then go to browse, select where you want to save it, then enter the cab name press ok and then press create.
After that you are already done

Thats quite easy But if you really want to work on the Softbars, I highly recommend just overwriting the files. Cause if you always install a cab you will get a very huge list in your programs list and that can be very messy. But if your eyes are set on it, I would suggest you download quickcab.
For simple cabs this is the best program and its very easy to use. Just set the directory to the windows folder, add what you want to copy and then give the program a name and a name for the Cab and press generate and everythings already done.
If you need help, just say so
i will just overwrite till i make a good one. ty for help

CHT_softkey_win
CHT_softkey_menu
CHT_softkey_tabslider
CHT_softkey_phone
CHT_softkey_web
and
CHT_softkey_lock
after that just place them in your windows directory of your device and after a sense restart you are done
