General question, what programs are people using to change the backgrounds of the Today screen?
In addition, does that program work in conjunction with MvrTrue VGA?
thx
kww
OK I figured it out, but what pixel size is the today screen
640x480?
To complicate things, I noticed that when switching between QVGA and VGA resolution (using Mvr VGA toggle) the following Today backgrounds are tiled:
HTC Default
Guava Bubbles
Windows Mobile Green
But the following background does not tile in VGA resolution:
Windows Default
Is there any way to center the screen instead of tiling it, or even stretch it?
Hey everybody,
I created some themes for the great Pocket CM (v0.15), feel free to try these.
Allblack.cmt:
A clean and simple as possible theme, black background, white letters, thats all
Apple.cmt:
White background and a lot of apple logo's, Somehow I just can't get this theme to work the way I want to, but as I don't want to use it for myself I stopped working on this one. Feel free to use these and please give me some feedback.
HTCTouch.cmt:
Inspired on the HTC Dailer plugin
And my personal favorites:
PimpedTouch.cmt:
HTCTouch with some cool b&w backgrounds
Silver:
B&W theme with silver accents, custom icons and nice backgrounds.
Update
Silver2
Because Pimpedtouch was a winner, and I liked the silver one, I've combined them into silver2 (how original).
Another update
Sunset
I wanted to bring some color in your life, so here a theme with some nice sunsets, but still usable.
Please post some screen shots.
1&2 = Silver theme
3 = allblack
4 = HTC Touch
5 = Apple (work in progress)
6&7 = Pimpedtouch
That's cool..Great work thx Pimpedtouch is very nice ...
Themes are (especially the "pimped") very clean and smooth. No hiccups, lol. Way to go!!! I look forward to more of your work.
Vga Themes Required
any chance for VGA Themes
Grea themes, thank you!
Pimped looks GREAT!!!! One question though:
Are these QVGA compatible? (I have a Treo)
These themes are all QVGA (240*320)
I can (try to) make a VGA theme, but I don't use those.
@ farehmani: which one do you want in VGA?
This is my first VGA theme.
Please give comments, I have a QVGA device, so I can't test this one...
Please upload screenshots too, because I'm curious how it ended
Some information, it has some Iphone-like buttons and backgrounds of dark cities (nightshots). Also a lot of transparancy, I don't know if pocketCM supports them all.
Please post screen shots. If they are like the pimpedtouch theme. I am all for them. That theme was hot.
The Blue theme on the pcm forum is my favorite..
love it!
I don't have a emulator, so I cannot test the VGA version...
can somebody please test the VGA version and post screenshots?
Here you go, VGA version of Dark City. Everything displayed (icons, letter, pictures), is just huge and literally spilling of the screen.
Is that the screen on a VGA (480x640) or QVGA (240x320)screen? Somebody at the Pocket CM forum said it worked ok, so I'm confused...

QVGA (240x320) screen, HTC Herald P4350
o thats the problem, the VGA theme is for 480x640, if you use it on a 240x320 it looks like your screenshot....
VGA

my apologies.. now it looks like robosiris ... i renamed the zip to cmt and copied in the folder. no i extracted the zip.. and then copied the cmt file.. so it looks exactly like robosiris..and the scrolling is very good in this theme..
thanks
Can you post some screenshots in 480x640 for me please? Then I can see what to improve...
Having recently installed XBmod Manila Rhodium VGA Port (here) i was annoyed that my comm manager skin was still the stock O2 blue skin
I search for ages to try and find someone how had made a black one, the closest i came was this which isnt black and this which had render issues and had the white left buttons, so it might not be perfect but i made one.
If anyone has any suggestions or the original Manila Rhodium VGA background on its own please send it and your suggestions over and i will see what i can do.
Also ive design this so it will just replace your existing skin and not change the existing options on your comm manager page like add the 3g button if you dont already have it.
PS ignore the background looking so crap in the screen shot, this is largely because of soti pocket controllers preview mode being a lower colour base.

thanks for this. looks great!
Where are they? I've seen the skin page for M2D but all of the skins are in VGA.
Is there a page for the QVGA themes or am I missing something?

These are all qVGA. i even try a few not too long ago on my kaiser and they work fine...
I've tried three of them and they all start 1/4 of the way up my screen.
EDIT: I've realized this is because my screen is WQVGA so now my question is, are there themes for WQVGA?
Sound like you are loading a QVGA skin on a VGA screen or even a WQVGA screen. But I have a Touch I have been using most of the skins linked above on and have had no problems. What is your screen resolution?
There are not many out there..just search for manila 2d themes for wqvga
Is there a way to easily convert the themes to wqvga without having to know xml and other programming languages?
I can't find any nice wvga today screen themes in tsk format. Anybody have any links? I am not looking for wallpapers since I don't use Manila.
