hey guys, i have the skinning bug and want to change the items in the red boxes, can some one tell me what files i need to be looking at to do so......
cheers.
come on don...
icons =
cht_slider_email
cht_slider_missedcalls
cht_slider_messages
as for the"unlock"text thats in the 50something_manila. theres a thread in this forum started by thgraff who made a slider without text. or better yet look at attachments only in the cht thread theres an up to date one in there. "hd mini no text"
yeah i know eric, i was being proper lazy there.....I'll look before posting next time ;-)
thanks for helping out though bud.....
lol its cool I did the same thing to poyensa last night.
anyhow in the cht thread someone posted all the png files for the lock screens...if your feeling creative.
(I always use defaults as a template of sorts)
be sure you post up what you make.
later.
nothing special, just adds a bit of colour.....

Hello people!
I hope this question (and the answer that comes with) has not been ask before, and I promise i have search before posting
The thing is when I am holding one of the icons on the sliders and scroll with it, I get that dark grey background that doesn't looks very gorgeous
Can someone suggest any cab or reg tweaks to get rid of that ?
Thanks mates
No one knows about that ?!
Well ... Hope this is not a too silly question
This is the last visual tweak that is missing for me So please !!
Promise I'll be a good boy
I am using HD wall and few tweak like transparent clock, calendar, slider. Just to let you know
Follow my signature, try the second entry on the first post, "TF3D 2.5 Screen Fade".
Thanks man It works great!
I will I have a deeper look at this post wich is full of goodies
hi there,
Is it possible to create a CAB that makes the text under the quicklinks transparent, so that you wil only see the icon??
This in combination with other Transparent CAB's it wil make the home sreen look nice and clean.

Sorry old bean, but you're wrong.
There's a cab to make the icons transparent, but not the text.
Assuming of course that you have already done a thorough search of the forum and have found nothing suitable, the man to ask is AntonioMistretta in his 'Transaparent (sic) Clock and slider and more!' thread under 'HD2 Themes and Applications'.
If a cab exists, he almost certainly knows about it and if it doesn't, then he might just be nice enough to make one for you...!
Addendum:
But PLEASE do search his thread first. He get an awful amount of people asking him for stuff he's already provided!
Use the search it's the first, but i've used it and it take a will, so...
Try this: dega's transparent quicklink text box.cab
Ok so we've all heard the news about CHT2.0 and all its great new features.....
Far and away the best new thing for me is the beast that is Micheldiamond's CHTS....
(If you dont know what Im talking about then check here)
What Im so excited about is that if you kill sense through too much tweaking ( ive lost count of how many times) you can get back to where you were before the crash in a matter of minutes........ its literaly a manila safety net...
It also gives theme makers the ability to dump a whole CHT theme / layout in such a way that it can be implemented in a much easier way than installing numerous cabs and individual tweaks.......
The point of this thread is to see how dumping a layout and applying it to someone elses device works....
This is mainly aimed @ miller710 who kindly agreed to help me test this but I figured Id post it in the forum for anyone who wasnt aware of this great new feature........
Ok on to buisness........
If you'd like to test out how this works then please follow the steps below and let me know how it works for you.....
This is not a release of a theme, its more of an "experiment en mass" with this new feature........
I've attached the layout I posted in the today screen thread here
If your not yet familiar with CHTS I'd recommend that you spend some time playing around and getting used to it first........
First of all, make sure you have CHT Scheduler installed and your baseline saved.........
Save any layout your currently using and check that it all works as it should by saving it.......loading your baseline then reapplying your saved layout....
If it all comes back in all the right places then we are good to go......
Unzip the folder Ive attached and then put the whole folder thats inside into storage card/_CHTScheduler.....
You should see your saved layouts and baseline already in there......
Once its in go for a soft reset.....
then when you go back into CHTS switch gui and try to change layout you should have "black n blue rss" as an option....
Try changing to that layout and let me know what happens......
You should end up with something like the screenshots...............
It wont change your icons, if your using dinik icons you will still have dinik icons..... if your using stock they should still be stock.....
You will not get the "blue tape" digital clock (because my lua skills arent up to scratch yet )
However you should have the wallpaper, widgets and quicklinks and blue soft keys in all the right places
There shouldnt be any serious consequences to this..... if something does go wrong you can restore you baseline/old layout........ however as always you do this at your own risk.....
Worked. However there are some broken links I think this if for programs that you have that I do not. I will post some before after screens in a few minutes.
Hey Troutman! First out there with a trial layout for CHTS (how long before you and Mob release the orange street theme as a zip for this... )
It seems to work fine (once I'd realised that you had to go in one folder once unzipped to find the one names CHTS_blah blah blah and copy THAT one to the CHTScheduler folder in Storage Card!). I'm assuming it won't look exactly like your screenshots - my layout has retained my clock/weather choice on the central screen and the RSS widget is above the clock, not below like in your screenshot. Also I have lots of missing quicklinks
I agree that CHTS is just as amazing as CHT itself - there has been a massive amount of work by MD - it has already replaced Phoneweaver on my phone for automatic connection and sound profiling. I'm just waiting for your orange theme, buff and GTX to be released in this format and I'll be away!
Just been switching back to my baseline as I've been typing and I still have all your quicklinks and none of my free links - hey ho, guess there's still some work to do...
See you back at the Dev group! Love the weather wallpapers you've done for the lockscreen - where can I get the full set?

DOH! should have though of that......
I should have saved a version with empty quicklinks,,, except for apps that come as stock..... opera etc......
Once I figure out how to do an xml for the layout i should be able to cancel out any links that point to apps other people might not have........
So it really is as easy as that........
Good to know....... thanks man!
I also had the problem when I switched back to my baseline. I lost my free links. The wierd thing is that when I loaded your theme, I got the custome cht toggles you used on ur theme. And when I switched back I got the old standard icons. So this seems to be a transferable item as well.
Then after looking it over I noticed that the custom cht softkeys also change with the theme loadout. apparently that is also something that can be transfered.

Hey Dunc, wasnt really intending it as a release, more an experiment and some shameless promotion for CHTS (not that it needs it )...
I think if your swipe up you'll get the rss in the same position as the screenshot..... i didnt post every page on every level....
and the digi clock will be missing because I cant get my standalone widgets to work....... unless you want to kill sense then they're great..... lol
The quicklinks thing was a stupid error on my part, obviously any proper theme releases will come as default with empty link.... I was just rushing to post before the missus gets home........
Not long for Orangestreet..... just need to hammer out the xml... I think thats the missing link.....
Not sure why your baseline would be affected......
Mine has always been rock solid...... If I thought that peoples "safety net" would be jeopardised then I would have held off on posting this because obviously I dont wanna cause people to have to go through a whole set up process again so sorry about that
Appreciate the feedback man thanks again

Yep, toggles will go across too.....
If I was using custom state indicators they'd show as well.....
As I said to Dunc, Sorry about your baseline....
Was it just the freelinks you were missing or did you still have the regular quicklinks too??
@Dunc001
Forgot to answer your question about the weather walls......
I cant take any credit for those, they're all mob's work...... they were in the dropbox in the chts folder...
If they're no longer there then let me or mob know and we'll post them somewhere for you.......
The glass circle softkeys are before. the Blue softkeys are after. Mind you this is after doing it for a second time so both sets of pics have your free links and quick links. When I reverted back to baseline it kept your icon layout just changed everything else back.

Once again man sorry about that.....
Can you revert to a previously saved layout to get your quicklinks back?

No worries man. I have been playing around with it alot any ways. What I can't figure out is why CHT occationaly just moves links around. I also have problems with the icons changing randomly for no reason at all. Any idea?

Cant say Ive ever experienced that....
Maybe CHTS is set to switch profiles at certain times??
Ive linked MD( genius behind CHTS) to this thread so hopefully he can shed some light on this.....
Edit;
GRRR just realised I missed my 1000 post milestone..... lol
wanted to use it for something ridiculous in off topic........... oh well guess i'll just have to wait for 2000
Amazing!
For the quicklinks thing: I have a solution - will be in next fixed version, should be better then:
- It deletes the "old" quicklinks instead of overwriting, so there is no "mixing"
- you can disable quicklink switching with Layout switching in the settings.
Then let's have a look, if this is enough or if we need something more.
Great work, conan - I luv this style of your themes! But that you already know (Congrats to your 1000+, too *g* )
Micha
thanks md, probably best to leave out the quicklinks in the meantime...
I guess people are going too want to set their own links anyway...
is this the best way to share a theme between two devices, by placing the layout folder into the chts folder of another device? or is there a better way....
ha ha thanks for the congrats... it will soon be 2000 at this rate...

oh, overseen your answer, but with new CHTS 2.02 all the quicklink things, which are mentioned above, are soluted.
So Quicklinks are switching now also if they have different designs.
only the randomly moving quicklinks needs also a fix in CHT itself, but meanwhile it's counteracted as good as possible with CHTS, too.
And yes,simply placing and copying the Layout-subfolder is the intended easy sharing or saving of a Layout. CHTS automatically recognizes the new CHT-Layout (indifferent if by .zip or .cab installed) and can be assigned to any profile by the user. mmh...I think that you already know but perhaps some others not.
Thanx for your inputs!

Thanks Michel,
I think all the issues with the quicklinks are sorted now
Any layout I post will have only have empty quicklinks by default, obviously each user is going to want different programs in different places.
I'll still be setting the location of the link and if they want to re-arrange then thats up to them..........
well what can i say ive never done it before.
downloaded the troutmob orange theme and installed the cab. so like wheres the theme? do i have to select it from somewhere or something?

Have you tried soft-reseting the device after installation?
Also..You'd probably get better answers as well as faster responses by asking questions in the developers original thread instead of starting a new one.
thanks. first time didnt work then did. but using with cht so dunno if that cause and issue? trying the chts theme too, whats the diffrence?
why does the background look blurry when the image file doesnt? and why dont the images you want to set as your today background never have the option to but the others do?
and also whys the background white on the calendar when the numbers and stuff are too. cant see a thing.
ok I guess im probably the best person to try and answer your questions on this one.....
ill start with the difference between the two versions.
the one from the theme thread contains a lot more files and is a more complete theme off the sense interface, however that does mean it can be a little bit of a pain in the ass to get it set up how you like it.
the chts version which im guessing you got from the link in my sig is kind of a "light version" it only really themes the cht stuff.
my advice would probably be to read up on chtscheduler and use that version. if you want other bits from the full theme then I can make you individual cabs for those.
as long as you have cht2.0 and cht scheduler installed everything should work fine.....
instructions for the chts one are in the thread.
the blurry wallpaper could be down to settings in chteditor, try selecting hq wallpaper mode. im not sure what you mean by options to set images as your today background.
your problem with the calendar is because when we created the theme we were using roms that had black text on the calendar tab and didn't really think about those with white text. tomorrow ill make a black and orange wallpaper for you if you want......
and thanks for using the theme
Hi community,
First of all, it's great to be on baord, and this seems an awesome community.
Now to my stupid question.....
I found this webpage whilst I was at work on Friday. Whilst browsing, I found a theme that I would like for my LEO, but I did not bookmark the page (stupid for an IT professional)
Anyway, I was hoping somebody might be able to help me; what I can say is that it was a "minimalist" theme, with very few buttons, a small on screen digital clock, and it had what I would refer to as an "electric blue" background....just blue, no images, actually the same shade of blue as my Honda
So, if anybody can point me in the right direction, I appreciate it. Once again, sorry for my stupidity.
I think this isn't it but it comes close... probably?
best regards,
Myrixamophit
Thanks, but that is not the one
Incredibly, it is even simpler than that! I cannot remember the name of the person that posted it, but I scrolling through the forum now, because I know that as soon as I see the name again, I will recognise it.
Thank you once again
lots of "lite" themes possible with CHT 2.0....
but have you tried looking in your browser's history? (you probably have...but thought i would ask!)
I have looked through my cache; but at work, system automatically clears it.
BUT, I remembered today, was a few pages forward from a "wooden theme" that a developer did by using a shelf from Ikea....lol.
Wonder if this will help?

Hi Kuan Teen,
I'm sure I saw what you're looking for but wasn't here in this forum. I saw it in the "post your today home screen" thread in the android themes forum, so try there and you will find it.
I hope you get it, good look my friend
Once again, thanks all
I've accepted the fact now that perhaps somebody has removed the theme that I wanted. Perhaps it was a photoshop job? I've read that people do that sometimes.
New problem now....lol
Last night, I installed a theme, and tried to install it on my device, but the device complained about lack of space (I have Duttys ROM installed). So, can I install on the memory card (16gb)?
Thanks guys.
err.. don't know for sure but Blue SK-i was the first theme that came into my mind when I read your description
