Hey guys, I got bored with the same old looking HTC Home today plugin on my device so I decided to fiddle around a little bit with the .png's and this is what I came up with. If you like the look just unzip the folder attached and put the file into your HTC home folder and replace the old file with it. You might want to back up the old file in case you want to switch back to it sometime.
THIS IS NOT A NEW INSTALL OF HTC HOME, IT IS MORE OR LESS JUST A SKIN FOR IT. YOU MUST ALREADY HAVE HTC HOME TODAY PLUGIN INSTALLED TO USE IT.
enjoy.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but where is the HTC Home folder?
not a stupid question, it should be in the main device folder where your windows, temp, and program files folders are located
Weird, it's not there - shame, your mod looks really nice.
hmm, you probably have a rom wth the HTC home plugin written into it. You could try just putting the file into your windows folder and see if it asks if you want to replace the file with the new one, see if that works!
It's also possible that you have the HTC Home plug-in for WM6, which installs to \HTCHome by default..
Found the file location - spencepu3 was right, the files on my phone (DopodD810/Trinity/WM6) were installed right into the Windows directory.
The 'skin' looks really nice spencepu3 - I suspect you may have started a trend now!
it seems that you guys haven't used emunutz's HTC Home Customizer (version 1.0b5 right now). pretty complete customization of the plugin, including clock font, clock color, skin, icon packages, weather icons, etc.
thanks for the skin though, it's nice to look at.
I have used emunutz's program but as you can see there are no background skins that look like mine, I happen to like the look of mine over the skins in his package

Nice black skin, my favourite. have downloaded and added to the emunutz's HHC. Now I have another choice. Thanks!
Hello,
I Like that Glossy Style, but for me it is a little bit to glossy. Can you make the glossy part more black and less white, like the top and buttom bar?
Thanks
sure, when I get some free time, maybe tomorrow, I will make a seperate one a little darker for you. However, why would you want it any darker, especially with your black background the bars will barely be seen, this way they stand out more which I like, but if thats what you want I can make it, it shouldnt take long
Oh what a quick reply!
Black is beautiful > I think so.
Thanks for your work, I will look forward to it.
Cheers & regards

@anja31: What is the bar with the 4 buttons over the softkeys? Looking for that for a while now, so I can hide the softkeys^^

I've changed two apps in HTC Quick Launch today plugin: TomTom and Windows Live Seach instead of Action Screen and Camera. I've successfuly edited the xml files and saved over the ones burnt in rom (my custom Artemis rom has Quick Launch built-in).
So now the right applications run if I hit the second or third icon, but the icons are still the old ones. I tried to create bmp files from TomTom and Live Search icons, but they resulted very ugly and almost invisible. Finally I deleted them. I am very bad at graphical works... :-(
So I need help from someone more skilled in picture-editing: please create for me those 4 icons (normal and masked) for the two new apps!
Thanks a lot in advance!
cheers,
Hey guys!
I use my HTC Diamond to read feeds and podcasts with the build in RSS-Hub.
But there's one thing I would like to change: The icon in Task- / Traybar.
I don't like this colored 3D-Icon, 'cause all of the other icons are white and simple.
Does anybody know how to change it?
Thanks!

*just for pushing
Hello everybody
Does somebody knows why in my Task Manager :
- HTC Calendar icon,
- HTC Footprints icon,
- HTC Music icon,
- HTC People icon
are all the same & with such a boring graphic ?
Have you a solution to change them knowing that I'm a beginner ?
Thank you in advance for help.
PS : I did not find a way to include a screen shot as I do not have an URL.
There is an addon that does it, I had exactly the same. There is an icon pack you cause use to put it back to default, but after my last hard reset I can't seem to locate it for love nor money, sooo I have used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567080 and just Googled the images and resized and used them instead.
It's a bit long winded, but it's better than looking at those bloody white boxes.
Thank you Kalavere,
I will have a look at this thread
Hi,
I have a ROM with Windows Mobile 6.5.5, and it has a smaller topbar (With time in it and stuff like that) and a bigger bottom bar then the older version of Windows Mobile.
It's almost like the one of HTC HD Mini, but it does not have the glass effect, behind the softkeys, its just black.
Is there any way to get a glass effect exacly the same as in HTC HD Mini for the bottom and top bar?
I have seen it already in other ROM's, so I think there must be a cab/theme for it aswell, but I can't find it anywhere.
Or maybe someone could make a cab?
Much thanks in advance!
Greetz,

You need to find a theme that matches what you are looking for.
Maybe Dusk Themes?
Also get's rid of stock windows wait cursor and replaces with a Black scolling bar.
