As far as I know, and after searching for a themes player myself, I discovered there are no free or free to try players. $15 and up. If my memory serves me correctly, the company who provides theme player programs is "wasp". Google to find more.

A little more help
Well i searched a lot on google, but unfortunately couldn't find the required thing (mayb im too bad, but not that much). All i find relative was "Wasp Barcode Technologies Wasp Mobile Asset Desktop" , "wasptech.com" but they make something else or mayb im missing something. Are u sure this one is the thing i want, i mean which plays gif as a background. Moreover could u tell anything which can set html page as background. Kindly please guide me.

aaah i get something its netwasp. U know wen i searched for wasp themes player....etc i got nothing but wen i searched 4 exactly "theme player programs" then i got that

very close to wat i want, as the theme generator can import gif, ive once saw them b4 but left as they may b heavy. Well a simple standalone gif only background animator would b the best 4 me

try "animated today"

no one is exactly understanding me . Animated today and FlashTheme Player are same and FlashDash and FlashThemes Pro are same. Both use Flash Player which is much resource taking and even wen it uses gif u need a theme generator for it and its so unreal. Wat i need is just as u simply set a jpeg as background u could set an animated gif.

well as i understang it, you cannot set a jpeg to animate. you need a series of jpegs and then convert it to a .gif file, there are programs to do this, then you can use todaygif to set it on your screen

I know that, not a stupid . U didn't actually understood me. I ve searched every where and i dont need any today PLUGIN or any Flash based themes, thats what my topic clearly states. What i was saying, meant that a program that enables u to set animated gif just like the way we usually use to set jpeg, bmp... pictures by default as background in the ppc.

I think Ive got what you're asking for below in the attached cab files. Install both, preferrably to main memory. The HTC gif player is what actually animates the gifs. The other cab is a gif to get started.If your today screen is cluttered ie: battery status, launches, etc., only smaller gifs can be played...80x80 or under. On the other hand, if nothing is on your today screen, you can animate gifs 128x128 and up to 240x320. You can go to www.funformobile.com and download any size animation you want for your background. After the cabs have been installed, go to your Today settings, click "items", and check the box by GIF Today, click o.k., the gif should appear. After you've downloaded animations from the above website, click the right side of the animation on the today screen, a box pops up, click "confg", tap on the parameter boxes to put your larger animation in its place. I created a folder in my SD memory, named it Today GIFs, and the animations I downloaded were saved to that folder. Sure hope I'm understanding your wants, and this helps!

hotdog, i appreciate ur efforts and thank u for ur help. I ve said that i didn't need a TODAY PLUGIN (its useless), i need a thing that can animate e.g this .gif person on today's background (see pic1) like this (see pic2) or any other gif. Sorry if im bothering too much

I think this could be done if there is u can set an HTML page as today background (not plugin), is there any prog for that ?

The GIF on my today screen is the gif taken from your attached zip file. It is actually animated on my today screen by the HTC Gif player whose download file I've attached in this thread. The player will animate pictures when you tap on them anywhere in the directory..not just the Today screen.

Here's an app that lets you see all your pictures and photos as a slideshow on the Today screen. After installation, go to Today settings, items, checkmark the box by PHM pictures, highlight name, options, set to your choosing.

Aboinger, I am also interested in exploring Ultimate Launcher. Your Athena Ultimate Launcher Interface looks so nice. How did you do that? Can you explain step by step. Cos I also installed Ultimate Launcher, but Ultimate Launcher can only slide from right to left or vice versa, functions like the "easy shortcut". But Ultimate Launcher cannot move up and down.

Landscape is supported and works perfectly fine...
my ultimate launcher is also limited from side to side / fade animations
when you are in the tabs option and hit create new it should give you an option to add in plugins / shortcuts
what exactly did u need help with id be more than happy to help

Where download the ultimate launcher?

its an exe so its in a zip
dont know where the cab for the english version is ...

updated video to include ftouchsl / new UL interface

Better!...

I know this is a thread to demo the UL (which I just got put on two days ago....awesome software). But boinger, I notice that you have flames on your S2U2. One: where did you get that animated background for it? Second: your S2U2 looks as if it was designed for VGA....mine looks like a stretched QVGA screen. How can i get mine crisp like yours?
Thanks buddy. Nice layout..
BTW....I'm not sure what the version that was linked earlier in this thread....but I found the english version here!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365334&highlight=Ultimate+Launcher&page=2

yes this one is the english version
and about S2U2 i changed the graphics for vga.. you can do that simply by editing the .png's
i just changed the clock files to be honest.
and in real vga mode the slider doesnt work. so i enabled dpad support cause the screen mapping is off.
i can send you the flames gif... i got it off another member and edited it for vga.

You said editing the png's. Does that mean you changed the icons themselves, or you adjusted the values of the png to fit VGA? Just a little confused on that. Or all together, did you edit the pngs in a software such as Adobe Photoshop? If that is the case I might have to ask are you willing to share....thats a little over my head.
Yes Please email me the flame background...[email protected]
I might go back to S2U2 because of this.
Thanks boinger....appreciated buddy!

the blue flames jpg is attached
and i wouldnt mind sending you the vga clock files but that should be in the clock pack already

boinger,
What sort of icon format does ultimatelaunch accept. Is it only ico? What about png format?

only ico
you can use 32bit xp icons though.. so they look just as nice... only dillema is you have to convert most icons from .png
i can upload my ico icon pack for you all if you like ?

how can i use icon(bottom) like you?
i like your style..
looks nice..
i tried but.. i cannot use it.
i do not know how i set the icon.
i like icon linked like iphone..
please, let me know how you set yr advantage.....

That would be awesome if you uploaded some of your icons boinger. I'm also trying to find some to share here as well.
I'm struggling a little with the "not activated" signs in the corner. I have registered this app, and entered the code twice. Soft-reset. After a couple of minutes and some navigation, they reappear.
I searched for some answers, and it seems there isnt a fixed from what I was able to find.
Anybody else having this annoyance!!
Thanks

here ya go

Thanks boinger. These are nice buddy!!!!
I think I have the wrong version of S2U2. I just took the WM5 version that I used for my x51v. I say this because, I cant use gif. as a wallpaper for it. I'm assuming that I might not have the most current version.
Lastly, I have been trying to incorporate your icons, but for some reason UL will not show them when I select them. I can only use the default icons that come with them.
Any ideas!!!

I don't seem to be able to enter text for the application icon, although I can see that the config icon has a description.
What is the trick to enter this text?
I'm also unable to choose tab icon. Does tab icon got to meet certain criteria for them to work?

Looks good, I especially like the weather panel page!
EDIT: Just found that the square frame part which shows the weather icons in weatherpanel gets cut off from the top by the start bar. Its not the actual image because I checked it and its not cut off in the image file. I think you have to move it down in the layout...I would do it myself but I dont know how. So can you please correct this? I think you cant see it in the image you posted because you have a white background, and the part which gets cut off is the white part of the frame.

It's awesommmme !
Thanks for sharing this, u really did a great, great job !

Just update on the first post, but still have many bug need to fix

instructions werent very clear on this stuff. most of my tabs are missing dll files (especially comm tab). my missed call count shows "xxx" instead of "0"
the music tab works but isnt showing my album art eventhough its showing in mortplayer....anyway to change this to use with audio manager?? mortplayer takes up too much ram
id love this in a black version like the htc diamond

I'm very interested in the music tab... Is it htc audio manager today plugin? this plugin doesn't show album arts (covers)... any explanation please?

Slim Sized Font
Hi,
I'd like to know how you get the slim sized font in the systembars. Like the ''start'', ''contact'' font. On your screenshot it shows slim, but originally it show ''bold'' font. How did you do that? Any registry keys?
Thanks in forward

trick to show ablum art
sorry, i forgot to tell you how to get the cover
1. well organize your song (one album one folder)
2. then a cover photo put into the folder and name it to cover.jpg (file size no larger than 145x145)
that's all, click the play button (at the right side) and mortplayer is run, then return to today screen, if the screen not update, click the screen center
(this is a simply mortscript trick)
This music tag is a theme for XIAMultiTheme and not a plugin
actually a want to make it work for S2P (i can make it show up the cover photo) but can't remote S2P, if someone know how to make it work, pls let me know.

Effect of transition for htc diamond !!!

Hello everybody, it's my first post, sorry for my english....
I've seen a video of the new diamond hd which coming soon, and i've notice that when you lunch an application, or browse in menu, you have same transition effect as the iphone!!
I try to know if there is already an similar application for our diamond which allow to have same effects when you navigate or lunch programs.
Thanks
here a video of the diamond hd:
http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=Aiw5PsQ50Uc

they took out the animations for better performance on cdma diamonds... i "wanted" these animations, but not if my phone is going to lag.
The only animation i wish to have would be the launch animation, like when she tapped on internet in the video you posted...
i hope someone finds away to add bits of these animations... in time i'm sure, i just hope sooner than later

use this registry if u want animation:
HKLM >>>> system >>>> GWE >>>> Animate
change the value from 0 to 1 and restart u will get animation effects when opening a program or closing a program.
if u want some effects of animation in TF3D then u should use the older versions of TF3D that were in 1.37 ROMS u can find them searching for TF3D version download !!!

just tried that and its not the same animation when launching... its like a transparent boxes shooting from the center of the screen...

Hello thanks for all your tips.
The result of the register modify is not as sexy as the famous lunch animation of the video(when she's lunch internet browser).
I think that diamond is enough powerful to do that without lags.
Wait and see....

[request]more ANIMATED Weather Icons in manilla2d ??

Hey guys,
is it possible to create some animated weather icons for our manilla 2d? maybe like rumball did for weatherpanel!
I looked into the files and i found out that the one and only animated weather is the rain!
There are about 30 *.brn files. It is possible to convert these files into bmp-files.
I found a tool in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325424
Who knows how to edit the manilla 2d?
greetings

anybody who wants the same or can help me?

i put a request in directly to Rumball...let's see if he answers

Rumball already made a complete animated set, how many more do you need?
The set he already made takes up a good bit of memory as is, and you can only have so many icons.

As I indicated at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2720685&postcount=22, I'm willing to support this by generating BRN files of my animations...but there are a couple of things that need to happen first:
1) M2D uses BRN files to render its animations. My understanding is one BRN file per frame of the animation. Someone would have to figure out how to modify Manilla-2D so as to get it to look for BRN-image frames (and therefore display animations) for all the weather conditions (currently it only does this for rain).
2) my WeatherPanel animations are about 40Megs in size and consist of about 1000frames of animation. So that would translate into 1000 BRN files that you'd need to have in order to replacate my weatherpanel animations in M2D. As TheChampJT above suggests, these BRN files will take up a LOT of space and therefore would obviously need to go on a storage card. Therefore M2D would also have to be modified to look for its BRN files on the storage card rather than in the Windows directory.
3) Someone needs to throw together a program that can batch convert image files into BRN files...there is NO way I'm manually generating over 1000 BRN files!
If someone can figure out how to do 1, 2 and 3 with M2D then I can look into outputting my animations into BRN frames.

Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=346910
That is an awesome program, converts brn to bmp and bmp to brn...all drag and drop...and I just confirmed it allows you to drop multiple files onto it
My other suggestion is this. Convert the animations to BRN and package them all into a zip with seperate folders for each 'weather type'. Users could then choose which animations they want on their phone...like I had mentioned in my pm...I probably only see about 3-5 different weather types in my area "most" of the time. I can't imagine it's that different for everyone else.

So I was going to try and make a single animation...just to see if I could do it.
Before I ask I am running the ROM in my sig which is using Manilla 2D built in. It does include one animated weather set for "Rain" and it does work.
Here is my question. How does Manilla/Weather tab know which files to access for various weather conditions. I didn't see it in the registry so it must be a file somewhere? I'll do some looking around.
The animation for the weather icons is named HH_rainbrush_00 through 22. The non animated weather is just HH_weather_01 through 44

Maybe it's the exe file which controls the weather icons. I've searched for in the htchomesettings.xml and ther is nothing to find.

You're probably right, I'm just curious if there is any way to find out what those names may be if I were to creat an animation for partly cloudy or something.

EDIT: I guess I didn't read Rumball's first condition above correctly :-D
So I threw Manila2d.exe into IDA disassembler (which I am NO expert at using). But, from what I can gather, the rain animation and other file names are hard coded into the exe themselves.
I see some specific references to LoadRainBrushIcon and the rainbrush brn animation as well as the static HH_WEATHER_%02d.png numbered files.
Looks like to get all the weather animated some one would have to rewrite Manila2d.exe :-/
