Can any one tell me which one can help me to making Wm5 themes????
You can use any of the theme generator(ie.Mcdeb, Micorsoft theme generator), then use VJBaseHue to adjust the taskbar color to your likings. hope this helps.
Theme Maker SE / X / Whatever also seems to support BaseHue. Commercial app - SE is $15. I'd recommend it if you make themes often / professionally.
Otherwise, indeed, any CAB editor will do. Check out the wiki on this site about WM5 Ui Colors as well.

Allows a number of skins to be installed to change the look of the dialler. Some really nice skins. Also, for the customisers among us, the skins are png format and I think it would be easy enough to create some of our own.

I would like to propose the open-source development of a new program for Windows Mobile theme changing.
Themes are very popular. People love to personalize their mobile devices. Many ROM cookers will create their own themes that are implemented across a variety of included applications. Unfortunately, themes for third party applications cannot be defined or changed from within Windows Mobile’s native “Today” Control Panel Appearance tab. There are completely different methods of changing the Today screen theme, Media Player theme, and Phone dialer theme. Then if you’ve got some HTC applications in your ROM, there are yet other methods of changing the HTC Home Plug-in theme, TouchFLO Cube theme, Comm Manager theme, SIP keyboard themes, etc. The possibilities are endless.
I would like to propose a standard unified way of changing the look on all of these applications as well as future applications.
The program could be similar to the HTC Home Customizer where users would select named themes to be applied to specific programs, and the software would copy the proper images/files to the proper locations. The difference would be that there would need to be a way for users and 3rd party developers to interface with the program in order to let it know where its new theme files are supposed to go. Maybe there’s a master XML file that lists application specific XML files which include image/file location information.
Anyway, I think this type of program would be extremely useful both for power users and beginners who want to easily customize the look of their device and apply different themes to their applications from a central location. However, I’m not much of a programmer at all, so I am seeking help from the community.
I’ve started a project on Popfly called “WM6ProThemeChanger”. If you search for that name using the Popfly explorer, you’ll find it. Also, you can add me as a friend using “Adamz1977”. I'm not sure if that's the right way to do this, so if anyone else has any thoughts, feel free to post 'em.
I guess we should start be creating a central list of locations and filenames for various theme-changing image files for the variety of applications we all use. Any thoughts??

That's a great idea!
I have installed Poorlyduck's vista theme for the cube and if you look at his thread, not only did he worked hard at making the theme but he had to help out a really big bunch of people who had a hard time installing it.
Hope this works out!
Are you looking for this to somehow have one file type that contains all of the necessary files, or some sort of "it reads what it can from a folder and copies them where they need to go" style? I guess I can't picture what your goal is...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The "it reads what it can from a folder and copies them where they need to go" style would probably be easiest, right? That's what the HTC Home Customizer does I think. Plus, a lot of applications might need text files, GIF, PNG images, and maybe even a DLL to be placed somewhere in order for the theme/skin design to work. The Media Player skins need a SKN text file. I think the phone dialer needs a DLL sometimes in order to change its skin.
I just think it's too difficult for us users to figure out how to change the theme/skins of all these great programs. If you know any one who might be able to help with this, please send them to this thread.
Hello Everyone,
I am in the process of creating a suite of elements for a next-generation TF3D ROM. The ROM itself is currently in development, but there is an application that I need themed to the ROM. Secondly, a brand new Manila theme will need to be created to spec.
Basically, here's a high-level overview of what is needed:
1) A specifically themed G sensor calibrator to replace the app shipped with the Diamond/Diamond Pro/HD units.
2) Highly customized TF3D elements, which would include a specific clock and icons, as well as a major change to the way these items are displayed on the home screen.
I have no illusions about the amount of work involved in this enterprise. This will take some commitment on the part of those who volunteer. I can't offer much (my ROMs are freely distributed), but you will receive credit for your work in the ROM itself, and, after a short period of exclusivity for my ROM, you will be able to offer the items you design independently in any manner you see fit.
If this sounds interesting to you, or if you have comments, please let me know.
Anyone interested?
Hi,
I'm currently using ThemeGenCE Developed by Benoit Thonnart. Here Thanks Benoit for a great app.
I am having trouble understanding all the screen resolutions.
When I design a theme it would great to make & Export to all Windows models. Is this a crazy idea?
Things I need to understand:-
I cannot see a pattern with the DPI over the phones 96/128/131? I guess it is important otherwise the Background image will be wrong.
Screen types Standard, VGA, QVGA, WQGA
Exporting - when to use +Inf +Xml +Inf +Xml
A simple Cab Package program - tried and tested for themes.
Is there a ThemeGenCE workflow somewhere online? If not, can we start something here? Maybe 10 step guide for each model!
Thanks
