I'd like to change a lot of the appearence of my Xda2, such as the layouts of the menus, the backgrounds, the positions of icons, etc. However, I haven't a clue where to begin.

Hi All,
I have been maing new themes for my system using Themegence. I seem to be experiencing some problems. I searched for answers and only found one or 2 work arounds. My exact questions have not been asked:
1) What is the standard DPI to use for the theme?
2) When I make a theme using the standard theme option (first choice on the options tab) My theme seems to generate fine. All my color tweaks seem to take. But when I use the option for qvga portrait and landscape than the theme won't take my changes to the system colors. (ie, the navigation bar and system tray). It displays my theme but with the standard windows blue colors....yuck
3) What ever I do, in the program, I can't get the theme to change the color of the text for those 2 areas (nav bar and sys tray)
4) I want to change the base hue to a different grey scale value. But the program won't take may change for base hue either. (actually even tweaking the registry directly I can't get a different grey scale base hue. Although I can make it a different color all together)
I know that some of these colors can be changed in the registry, and that there are work arounds for some of the other issues. But I am not looking for work arounds. I want my theme to do everything that it should. In case I ever have to re start the theme, from a system reset, or just changing themes...I don't want to muck around to make it work...know what I mean.
Thanks
Original WM6.1 taskbar icons (phone, battery, connection, bluetooth etc.) still look pour. I like customized taskbar icons like TsowenTaskbar or MisfortuneTaskbar (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=54514). But the problem starts after installing WA3. It has it's own themes, but not for all icons and additionally some of them have not full functionality. WA3 also disables some skinned taskbar icons and all together looks awful.
Is there any way to keep WA3 functionalities (like start menu and icons of running programs on taskbar) and leave all skinned taskbar icons? Maybe some "transparent" theme for WA3?
Regards
I’ve been looking round the forum – see people posting a pic of their themes. With different icons and backgrounds throughout the UI.
I tried to install one of the .cabs – It changed the top icons (start, reception etc).. Also changed the background for windows except the home scene (presume you set the home screen manually).
It didn’t however change the bottom icons – anyone know what i’m doing wrong? Do i have to do something extra to change the icons?
You most likely have to install sdkcert.cab, have a look in some of the icon topics mostly you'll find a link in the startpost.
Ok I have had it with trying to fight the various methods to change the wallpaper, startmenu background etc. I would like to change the bloody wallpaper and have it consistent on each tf3d tab and on the wm6.5 startmenu etc. Is there no app that can simply change this without building multiple cabs etc.
Thanks!
Just wondering what people were wanting the developers to work on for the new metro interface. Personally I would love to be able to use custom photos for launcher tiles. I'm inspired by some of the great screen shots I've seen for Launcher7 for android devices. Something like this Browsing Customization on deviantART over the tiles?
I've been using the CP only for a few days but I already missed the fature to set the tile Images manually. Some non-Metro apps look terrible with their tiny Icons compared to the tiles. Another thing I don't like is that you can't drag the Metro screens. You either have to use the scrollbar or the mouseweel. Oh and I think the Color selection is too limited. It would be able to tie the Interface Color with the automatic aero color, so that the Background has the same Color as the highlights.
