[Video Tutorial] How to work with Softbars on WM 6.5(.x) - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Hello Friends,
since every once in a while there are confusions about how to properly work with Softbar files and how to make some oneself, I thought I make a quick video on how to work with these files and in general a little bit about cfc_gui and how to make simple CABs.
I am very sorry for the poor voice quality, but I dont really know a good video capturing program. If anyone of you does, please share that knowledge I might be reworking those videos, but I think it will surfice for the time being
The videos can be watched in 720p.
Part 1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9S3KNLJaAH4
Part 2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSHVf1XUhnE
the rest of the names for the Softkeys are these:
CHT_Softkey_web
CHT_Softkey_menu
CHT_Softkey_winmenu
CHT_Softkey_tabslider
CHT_Softkey_phone
CHT_Softkey_lock

thanks

You might wan't to consider pokeing around on this site: www.pocketpcthemes.com they must have nearly a million themes my now.
Good Luck.
and here are the files
It's quite easy to make your own themes using McDebs or Thememaker X.. I usually just do my own themes when I want a theme with my girl's picture on it..and if I want something else.. this site already has everything.

at the expense of sounding boastful, most of the themes i came across the web (apart from a couple which were part of a theme suite) were...let us say the last option in this thread's poll.
not to sound disrespectful to any one but dude i am not intrested in some semi naked obese ugly female staring at me when i turn on my pda.
some people might say that my themes are crap, but hey i like them..and i wanted to share them with you.

[Request] Taskbar

Hi ! Is anyone willing/able to make this taskbar?
I think that I have found some resembling icons that belong to tsowen ( I hope he doesnt mind !
CraZyLiLbOy has made a version close to that but I cant get it to work on my phone .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3131748&postcount=1401
Thank you in advance !
Cheers~
This taskbar looks really interesting and this whole theme. What I especially like the transparency and font used.

I'm just correcting you so don't get mad or anything but I think crazylilboy was the first member who had released those icons. That's why on his post of all his taskbar icons says "First Release". Just correcting.

EDIT: I don't know, I use SKTools to take screenshots and I just leave it as it is. It's obviously taking a 480x800 image
A wallpaper i made.....just incase u like it
Also,my welcomehead in my signature....
& please.....do tell me if they're sh*t!! No one seems to like them i think as no one has made much comments.
It's not **** but not really a welcomehead I would use. I use the one I attached.
Thank you for the comment....
I used to use something similar but thought of having something different.
OK,now we have officially hijacked the thread Mission accomplished!lol

Don't disappoint me mate ...
I am a big fan of your wonderful stuff ..specially the clocks & the transparent pieces ...
You shouldn´t be angry about this. If all wents well, the most users don´t give any comments. That´s also a sign for a good work. Look here in my thread.
Also around 50 downloads and one comment. It´s okay.
Two years ago I made the experience with diamond themes...more than 10.000 downloads, only a few comments. It´s normal here.
I deleted all themes (one of them you can see here)after I was dissed by some users in the german forum, which don´t like my work.
But it was no good idea of mine, because there were many users, who liked the work. And I did fail them.
Think about it and don´t be angry.
your work is beautiful! i dont have a hd2. i have a htc pure but im in this section all the time checking out all the latest things thats being created. most of the stuff being made even works on my device. like your awesome clock. i was fortunate enough to download it before you removed the file. must say it looks awesome on my pure. thank you for that. im awaiting for your release of the new glass box design you created. its going to be awesome as well. i know theres not enough thank yous going around in these threads, im guilty being one of them. but for me i dont want to cluter somebodys thread with tons of thank yous and you did a good job. that seems to happen to much in rom development threads and when somebody has a question they have to go through pages and pages before finding the solution cause of pages and pages of thank yous. just my thoughts on the situation here. again your clock is great. all your work is great. you have one heck of a creative mind. thank you.
Come on! Why do you waste your time and get pissed off over those that couldn’t be bother to type few words?
Love your design as always!
Just saw this, any chance this will ever be back? I am not a fan of analog clocks as I do wear a watch (lol) and I prefer digital clocks on my phone. Can you please please upload againfor those who like your work? Although, I understand why you get disappointed for no feedbacks but I think it means people do like it so much! I think the download numbers are much better than a very long thread of questions why something isn't working or requests for improvement no?

Models Wallpaper?

I've had a look down the thread and the only topic i can see this in is in the 15,000 wallpaper pack, and im not downloading a gig worth of wallpapers
so, the question i pose to you,
Is there a wallpaper set out there which consits of models, hot actresses, musicians etc etc...you get the picture.
Cheers in advance.

I think there are plenty around, although as you have discovered they come in packs of lots. A gig does seem somewhat excessive though!
If there is someone specific that you are after, I am happy to put together some HDWall cabs for you. Just let me know your fave actress/model/singer/etc

I never believe to see back this thread. One of my first jobs for us.
P.s. ber, I don't forgett our project. But around the holidays, you know, not realy much time because first family than phone.
Next week I have vacation and then we can start. Better I can start,LOL.
For the case we didn't hear us till tomorrow I wish you all the best for 2011 my friend.
Grtz B.
Nice Job !
Thanks Madraum. Think also for the first steps they are O.k.
Also funny, today nearly more posts than the last five month.
Do you have all of your forelayers in one place? I have most of them but I haven't seen the cookie or CHT one's before and would love those if you're willing to share.
I am a little disappointed and angry in the moment because an half hour ago the Hawks lost their second game in row but no problem, here you go. Hope you mean this both. When not let me know.
Sorry to hear that, I know how tough that is on a guy . But yes, perfection just the ones i was looking for. I'm pretty sure I have the rest from the forelayer forum. I'm rocking a blue theme right now and the cookie will be perfect!
Thanks Much!
