[Q] Change Phone/App/Personalise Buttons - HTC Desire S

Can anybody point me in the right direction to change the appearance of the App/Phone/Personalise buttons at the bottom of the screen?
I am getting there and I can change app icons, dialer colours/graphics etc, but this one has stumped me.

Have you seen this guide on theming?...

Or are you talking about simply applying skins/themes?

What I wanted to do was to change the curved phone button on a sense ROM to a square semi-transparent one, so I dont know if I want the full theming thing or not but that thread looks really interesting and will probably answer a lot of the other questions I am building up.
Thanks for pointing it out

Personalise Button can be changed by RCMix3D Tweaks in some ROMs.

Custom Lockscreen button?

Anyone know how to change color and shape to the lock button without installing a whole theme? I like the way my phone looks now and have worked hard to get it like this. I also like where the lock button is located on the screen but i would like to change color to it and maybe even shape.
And also, anyone know how to change the "slide" text?
Any help with links/cabs or other info would be much appriciated.
Here's a pic of the how it looks now..
I wish I knew the answer. I has something to do lockscreen .cpr files in windows.

Interested in this one... hope there is an answer

MotoGP app

is there such an app for the MotoGP like the Formula1 app?
Can't help you with that although I'd be interested in any answers too.
I do have an HDWall you may like though, it'll only work if you have no "Start" text at the top of your screen and obivously looks better with the clock/weather layout side by side, but if you want it, let me know?
Roll on 10th April.
that would be very nice to have...

I would be interested in it to. Does it come with that clock etc?
There wont be an official one. Im already dying because of this lag as well... I sent a question to the guys from MotoGP.com who also made the App for the Iphone. They said, that development for WinMo would be too much work due to the wide variety of devices and that i should not expect a programm like that...

Instead they spent their work on stupid useless animations and mobile-wallpapers they got in their shop... what a shame

Here you go mate.
It's not a theme, just an HDWall wallpaper. If you haven't used one of these before you'll need "Cookies HQwallpaper Patch" too, a search on here will find it.
For that clock/weather layout you need "Cookies Home Tab" with the "Advanced Home Tab" mod (again these are easy to find on here) along with a selection of the transparency mods from the stickies at the top of this section and the "Remove Start text" mod too.
Any way, heres the HDWall.
Good luck.

Fully transparent?

Anyone have a copy of the white taskbar for 2.1?

Hey guys. It seems like in the thread merging of the various theme threads, the white taskbar that I used to be able to find for 2.1 has gone missing. If anyone has it, could they post it up here? It's the white one that looks exactly like vanilla... I don't mind if it has 3G text or EvDo text either.
EDIT
I should mention that this is regarding Damage Control or Fresh... not Legend roms.

Don't know if this is the one you are looking for or not. It contains more than just the taskbar, but you can certainly use as a starting point / modify accordingly.

Aaah you found it!! Thanks I can just remove the launcher and stuff from it. Thanks again!
EDIT
Do I have your permission to use it in a ROM that I'll put out eventually?

Of course you do. Fire away...

who's looking into modding the launcher?

I'm sure I'm not the only one who hates the iphoney icons...I tried a couple things, but even using bettercut, the launcher still boxes in the icons, which is a pain for apps with long titles.
I'm in bed now(wife's orders), so I'm going to look in the morning, but has anyone else tried looking?
I posted a MOD in this forum that is the stock Android 2.2 Launcher. It works great in my opinion.
ADW Launcher , on another note, I think the bubble around the icons are built into the code for the app. I don't know how HTC did it so it's very likely that I'm wrong.

luncher 2? and we should be able to get that to stick now
i just want the bubbles around the icons gone, everything else im fine with. Is there any way to access the myfavs thing? I probably would just switch to launcher pro if i could do that
Either ADW or LP will let you set the buttons to the left and right of the app drawer button to whatever you want. Just set one of them to the "Faves" app and the other to "Phone" and you'll have the same functionality again.
I personally don't mind the boxes around the icons as much but I hate the espresso rectangular launcher, it's so plain and ugly. I want the traditional launcher and no myfaves crap.
I dont mind the icons, but I had that the lower right key is for Favs. I dont use Favs. If I could change that I would be golden. I use and love all the Sense widgets so I dont want an alternative launcher.
I have to get a few things done for work, but as soon as I finish I'm going to pull the launcher (rosie.apk?) and poke around. It's not just a graphic file because it cuts off text if it's too long. This is probably going to take a while, but I'm sure it'll be worth it in the end.
I paid for launcher pro because I used it on my nexus and g2, but the htc widgets are very well made, and I'd like to use them. It's just painful looking at these icons.

I'd be able to make a metamorph in about a minute to change that for you. All you need to do is substitute a transparent PNG for that icon background.

Yes and no, in the stock launcher, icon text wraps to the next line. In rosie, this is not true. It just gets cut off. You can make the png transparent, but there's a very good chance it's going to get cut off still. I found some xml files in rosie.apk but didn't have enough time to look at them. I'll explore a little more once my kids go to bed.

I love ADW on my G1, but after putting it on the MT4G, I've noticed that it doesn't run all the widgets... is that because they are sense widgets?

That's correct. HTC widgets require the htc framework.
Is there a way to change what the myfavs button to the right does?

Most likely, yes. Root was JUST achieved though, so it's going to be a little bit before this stuff starts happening. Next week will be a busy week in these forums for sure....

Check out the hero section they have a mod to change the far right button so maybe following that example something can be done to this!
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
So I found some files of interest while rooting around this morning. In rosie.apk, there are 6 files of interest, the icon borders at rest, selected, and pressed, icon background at rest and selected, and the icon backgrounds at rest, selected, and pressed.
common_inputfield_press.9.png
common_inputfield_rest.9.png
common_inputfield_selected.9.png
common_panel_navbar_button_press.9.png
common_panel_navbar_button_rest.9.png
common_panel_navbar_button_selected.9.png
I made them transparent and used the sdk to change them back to .9 files, but for some reason I don't have r/w access to /system/app/. I'll have to look that up.
