[APP REQUEST] A Manila style NOTES app WM6.5 - General Questions and Answers

Hi Guys,
I often use default wm Notes program in my htc.
Recently i thought about creating a simple and pretty program with htc manila style, instead of boring wm notes.
Personally, I can't create such a program, because I don't know the programming language
However, I made several assumptions that I should comply..
*very simple -just basic funkcions: add, view, edit and delete notes
*Fast loading during startup (in my opinion the most important)
see attachment
So if someone can create that app or something like that it will be great
P.S.
I made some graphics which can be useful and
if anyone would be interested in the "project" I can send psd file
write any ideas and attentions ..whatever you want

this is very simple online .hme theme maker: http://theme-maker.bwap.org/bwap.or...artphone-pocket-pc-theme-constructor/hme.html
what?
Most complex editor is well known to every one, Its called "NotePad"
open ur home.xml file and start playing
I am too lazy to do this :/ actually I have modified alot of home screens (with custom plugins) this way
plugins are:
Sli Clock
Smart Monitor
RJHTML
RJTime
RJShortcut
LCDPlug
Battplug
commercial ones:
Facade and Fizz traveller
they come with some embedded elements like code which u paste in ur xml file, specify coordinates (from top left corner of screen as origin) and then finally size. Format state is actually for selectable plugins. Trust me, it jsut requires a bit of HTML knowledge and some hit and trial.
But I bet its alot complex.
If u want to edit homescreen real time on ur smartphone, I would recommend using Vieka's Free WordPad (totally compatible with any text document)

Anyone know a WM6 theme previewer?

I'm trying to find a TSK previewer for on the PPC (not on the PC). Although I've renamed my themes, they're all of ladies in (mostly) bikinis, so there's a limit to the descriptions I can use! Does anyone know of a program that will run on the PPC and show me a thumbnail of the theme so I can choose without having to load each one in turn?
I've been searching for ages for this without luck, but I know someone's going to point me to an existing thread - so I'm going to apologise now if it does exist and I've missed it!
Thanks.
Download ThemeGenCe and then open them up in there and you'll be able to see what they look like on your PC. You can also then edit them if you want with it also, or even make your own.
Not quite what I'm after
Thanks for the suggestion, Xeno1, but I've already got an application to preview the themes on my PC - I'm after one to preview them on my phone when I'm out and about.
Thanks again for the reply though.
This is an old post I know but wasn't answered and I was looking for something similiar myself. Here is my suggestion
BVRP Theme Manager v2
It runs on your PPC and it creates previews of your themes and caches them in the form of JPGs with the extension PTM. Its great for previewing them and allows you to display them in multiple views:
- List
- 2x2 grid
- 4x4 grid
- 8x8 grid
- 16x16 grid
- Full screen
The only problem is its a little slow and awkward to create the previews if you have a lot of new TSKs. You have to view it for it to create the preview, so in the 8x8 grid it will only create previews for the 64 themes in view. If you have additional themes you have to move the cursor.
Pocket Theme Manager also has a theme rotation feature but it keeps the whole program in the memory for this (about 1MB RAM--way too much). Also it doesn't handle going back n forth between QVGA and VGA themes. You are much better off using ShantzTodayChanger (which you can find in General > Developer forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311173

Skinning

I've seen some really nice skins for various software on my Kaiser but I want to know how I can create them myself. Is there special software that's needed or is it as simple as just changing the color of an image? Also, how do I create them from scratch and get them to work correctly? Once a skin is done, how do I turn it into a .cab file? Any help would be really appreciated.
btw.......I have Photoshop CS3 Extended if that helps any.
Well, depends what kind of skin...
I did a very simple one for wisbar here:
http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12617
See the files to understand how to change them.
Eh, I'm no professional photoshopper. All I did was open up the images that came with TouchFlo 2D and use Ctrl + U to do a Hue/Saturation change. If you know how to create Batches in Photoshop it saves A LOT of time because you can basically edit one image and have Photoshop make that change to however many other images you want.
Can anyone help me with a skin for this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427913
I'd be extremely greatful.
Ok I have WinCE CAB Manager 3.0.0.22 and 2 themes (here and here) that are mainly just the image files. How do I turn the themes in to .cab files that automatically store the files in the correct location on someone's ppc?

Custom Contact & Bookmark Icons

I'm using dZenkinZ icon set and whilst I'm happy to use a graphics program to fiddle with an existing icon to make a new one for apps not covered by the existing set (eg Railway Live Departure Boards) I'm wondering if I can apply custom icons to Bookmarks and Contacts on my Home screen.
I've searched the forums, but couldn't see any clues...
Thanks
Anyone? Even just saying "no, it can't be done" would be a help!
bump on this as id like to know also.
E.G - i want to use the custom facebook icon from Dinik's set on my own bookmark of touch.facebook.com instead of just a screenshot of the link. (or any link i have)
I don't know for sure, but I thought it could only be done by cooking it into the rom.
If you want to know for sure wait for a dev or cooker to answer this, or post the question into the rom thread of the one you're using.
yes you can,
in registry HKLM\software\htc\manila\home\shortcut number\iconpath:whatever
delete folder 'proglauncher' from \application data\htc
restart manila

[Q] Changing default ROM Icons in WP7

Hi Guys
Editing or “replacing” Windows Phone 7 downloaded app. Icons is fairly straight forward…a BIG thanks to Julien Schapman for making WP Device Manager public so that we can use the file explorer function on the desktop.
Can anyone help or explain to me how to edit a default rom icon? Something like “Internet Explorer” or “Messaging”. It must be possible somehow. In the TouchXperience group on Facebook, someone posted a picture of “the hack of the day” where this was done. See attached picture.
Please Guys. If anyone can help it will be greatly appreciated.
+1 on this!! I believe xbmod achieved in doing so on his wp7 rom for the hd2. Will love to see it on my HD7 as well
Advanced Config Tool by Julien Schapman is going to be released very soon.
It will also feature editing of system tiles
Looking also forward to that feature
Didnt want to create a new thread so bumping this old one.
Is there a hack to change the default icons in WP7 like for Phone/Messaging etc?
