thank you for your help,

I don't think that particular icon is encoded as a gif.
You can try dumping the rom, and then extracting all icons from the ROM. I've done it at home but can't remember which dll that resource is in.

thanx for quick respond, can you please send it to me when ever you have got the free time?

Gwes.exe bitmap resource from 1024.

i couldnt extract it
any help??

What did you use to extract it? Use any resource editor...
I can try and dump the bitmaps but they're a bit of a pain, quite a few of them (ie each frame). Send me a PM if you have no luck.
V

I Suggest to use the reshacker. its free not like the other.. its also easy to use..
goodluck!

thanks to vijay555 here is bitmap source

and i have made the GIF from it

What did you need it for lover?
V

It would be really neat to be able to customize one of your own, and possibly include it in your .tsk files....
Heck, if you wanted to, you could even replace it with one of those boring hour-glasses....
Of course, adding the resource back to the OS might be problematic, but it sure would be a neat customization....

Actually there was a site mentioned here that lets you do just that - customize the wait cursor. VJ, do you remember it by chance?
Any way you can't add it to TSK, the format won't support this, but you can always create your own MUI (built in resource replacement mechanism).
The only problem is, in WM 5 it needs to be digitally signed. It's possible but a bit of a hassle.

Here's the old app that my learned friend was referring to, I believe:
http://www.masellis.com/wait/index.htmhttp://216.239.59.104/search?q=cach...l+ipaq+wait+cursor+hamster&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1
But yes, it is WM2003 and earlier only. As stated, you'd have to digitally sign your .mui customisation to make it work, which is certainly not impossible. Have a look for the signing app made by BeyondTheTech on this forum. If you have Visual Studio 2005 you can make your own test certificate to sign your stuff.

[request] Orange m600 Today Screen Plug-in

I just ran across some pics of the Orange m600 (HTC Prophet) today screen and noticed that it uses a really cool plug-in, different than any today screen plug-in I've yet to see (with the exception to WA2).

Would it be possible for anyone that has one of these to extract the plug-in from the ROM image?
u sure? I had orange rom and hated that plugin....
nonetheless here it is if you want to try it:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Universal/Extended_ROMs/Orange_Extended_ROM/UI_Orange_UK_0727.cab
cheers
may i ask why you did not like this plugin? did it slow down the device too much?
From my point of view I prefer the normal today screen.
There's a guy in our office has one and likes the plugin.
Try it and see, that's all I can say.

Thanks for looking into the cab-file (why I didn't do it myself?)
Is there any way to get the Orange plugin or is it an endless quest......
Kick.... :lol:
You can try to get from the ftp here, which is the extended ROM of Orange Magician.
The problem is, you do not know which one it is. Make your guess.
BACKUP YOUR PHONE before installing any of those CABs. You may not able to remove it later.
Anyway, my guess
Orange_New_Today.sa.CAB
Let us know what you've got.
No it is just TSK inside... i have not found in any of the orange ext roms such plugin
TSKs are almost regular CABs. You can check it - change the TSK extension to CAB and open in OCPSoft WinCE Cab Manager.
I know this of course, my point is that in Orange_New_Today.sa.CAB there is only one TSK file

i know but there was a pocketcm wm7 skin that was posted and it was posted in cab form...
but anyway - i just have to drop the folder in the subdirectory right ??
Great job on this skin!!!! Only one request. Can you make the SMS threaded? I tried to use it but I only see my side of the conversations, not what the replies were....
Again, I applaud this skin!!!!!
The conversations work fine in mine.
I have been searching all over, first I love this skin, but I was wondering what settings would need to be changed for the alphabet index response area to be bigger and be able to use the selection and scrolling from the left side of the screen? I don't need the actual bar moved just the ability of use on the left hand side. I'm left handed and in order to scroll I have to dig into the right side of the screen so much my hand covers the letter label. any help would be appreciated.
May be you help me, I make dimond skin for PocketCM, but it not work.

Nice Job Anja.
Great skin, thank you. I have been playing with his and i have one comment on this skin. Sometimes some of my contact disappear. When i restart PCMContacts they are back. And that goes on and on. Not the same contacts but it differs. Any thought on this?
????
VGA Support plz
Hi. well done.
But what can i do if it isnt works?
Where should i copy the files, and settings.ini?
where do i extract the files to?
Like already said in this thread, DO NOT extract the files, just copy the .rar or .zip into pocketCM dir and enable it on the skin options

pretty cool skin. thanks for sharing. installing now and sure it will look great!
it looks fine... but it's missing the blue background. if anyone figures out how to change it please let me know.
thanks
I am sorry, that I am opening this after quite long time, but I am facing the same problem now. I want to customize this app to match my global skin, but background is still persisting. I tried virtually everything, but without success. Same situation is also with LargeTitleBar app.
Did anybody make progress in this?

The background is in the .dll file if I remember right. Search up n how to edit the dll and you should be ok. Have not done it myself but will give it a shot to see If I can help more. No promises
zelendel: I thought that too, but only this is in HTCVolumeControl.dll:
3 icon entries, 1 text string, 3 group icons and 1 version info
Nothing else. I tried different resource editors (PE explorer and Resource Hacker) and it is same in both of them. Or am I doing something wrong?

I don't think your doing anything wrong as same with me, thought i'd have a look @ resources.

stylez: Yes, there are some PNGs and I think that only "HTCVolumeControl.png" is used. But some parts of it look like they are not used at all. I attached my "HTCVolumeControl.png" with legends.

Yeah i edited my last post not sure if you seen before i did? I was looking @ same file but noticed that nir36 had edited them all blue so not that... I was under same assumption that maybe the lower ones where stretched for background before looking @ nir36's files.

[THE] SonyEricsson logo for start icon and waiting cursor

Here is it, a modified shellres.192.dll to have a nice SE logo instead of standard windows start icon and a nice rolling waiting cursors
Preview :

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
How to install:
- install sdkcerts.cab first
- copy provided shellres.192.dll to your \Windows dir with TotalCommander or Resco, overwrite when prompted
- reboot
If something goes wrong or you want to restore default dll:
- rename \Windows\shellres.192.dll to shellres.192.dll.old with TotalCommander or Resco
- reboot
- delete shellres.192.dll.old
I'm not assuming any responsability about this hack or your devices
btw it works great for me

nice job! going to have this
thanks allot
but i can't try biz my phone is new i scare damage
if after 6 month i go to to try
nice work indeed!
Thanks!
It works beautifully... thanks!!!
the start icon is brilliantly done, make the X1 more complete and I wonder why SE won't put that in to "create" its own DNA
could you do a transparent background for the animated cursor? I think this can be done (in other thread) as the black background looks out of place.
Thanks, great work though.
Great!
But if better if wait corsor have a pulse mode instead of a rotation.

I agree with tha, I will try, but I don't think is possible
this is a standard replacement for windows cursors image, there are only bmp and bmp doesn't support transparency. Other programs (i.e. marshall cursor) can handle format as png but take control over the waiting process replacing it but at memory cost and more possibilities to misfunction
the only chance for me is to find a color that winmobile use as alpha even in bmp format. Can you point me to one of these transparent cursor thread?
The .DLL file is read only. How can i replace it with the one you have?

Totally missed that.

Can you upload the original shellres.dll???
thank you very much
it is very nice
Hi
Hi! see below

[Q] modding HtcHomeSetting.xml.

Hi guys,
I was reading this thread , it explain some tips for modding HtcHomeSetting.xml for Manila 2D, seems that thread is a bit old and im afraid that a post in there won't give me some answers.
Basically i understand what this mean but there is something that i cant understand:
how can i find the coordinates for moving things on Manila?
I know that my device is QVGA 240x320 and i would make a grid for have more simply all tyhe work of customisation plus i wanna try to make manila 2D in Landscape.
Any tips, tut or apps would be really appreciated.
Thanks.
Hey man... i guess i saw a Visual UI software for your PC that can helps you editing XML coordinates... just give it a try with the search
mmm search as XML GUI editor or something like that
