Just take the out of the box Home of your polaris and owerwrite the
icon files in windows folder with one of the icon packages around.
So you can exactly decide which icon to use for each single item.
Just be sure to quit and restart the Today Home after overwriting
the files with something like Resco Explorer.

Thanks for the info matey. If forgot to mention I have an O2 polaris... it doesnt have the HTC home app at all

Found it here: (Schen's 6 Button HTC Home today screen plugin v2.1.1005.722)

Problems with Manila 2D, pls help!! (Old:Searching for a new Today Plugin)

Hi Guys!
I wasn't online for a long time, i think everything has changed here
Well...i started this thread, because i cannot read through all unread threads...
Maybe i could help others with this Thread, too!
concern in this thread:
Currently im using Battery-Status + UltimateLaunch...It's very stable, but i don't like the theme anymore...also it doesnt support landscape...
So i want a new "Today Plugin".
"Wishlist" for the TodayPlugin:
- Portrait + Landscape Support
- Good looking (maybe a "modern" style)
- Stable (no Beta's, besides its stable!)
- Today-Screen integration (No MobileShell,PointUI,..., cause it's a "lay-over"-App(Reason for this: With this apps you need a hack/workaround, that the original today screen is NEVER shown!))
- low requirements (fast)
- Customizable (Define Program Pages, and define my own sms,mail,calendar,... -apps)
Which today plugin can i use???
If you don't want to help me, just ignore the thread

Truth is there is nothing that is %100 how you requested. Not yet anyway.
You have three you can look into:
Throttle Launcher (My favorite---ThrottleLauncher.com)
Manilla2D
GSmart
There is also HTC Home, but I think your more into the above stuff.

You must at least try Manila2D (TouchFlo2D).

thx very good article
thx very good article

Hi there!
I've tried Manilla 2D and...wow, THIS is what im searching for
BUT i have a lot of problems with it...
I've downloaded from this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398173&highlight=Manila2D
the zip file "manila.zip" (the first downloadlink in this post) and installed all apps, including the 12MB big cab "Manila2D_1.00_1819.2926.CAB"
then i installed the manilla2D configuration tool...
then i've downloaded the german translation, an copied all files in the "windows" folder of the archive to my windows-folder of my device...
then i've downloaded the "bliss" theme (tsk+wall) and copied it also in my windows folder...then i activated the tsk file...
after this, m2d was starting...but i have following problems with it:
- If i switch to landscape, m2d stays portrait...so the bottom items are cropped...
- i cant see any text on the home tab....i can see the icons of "calendar" and "missed calls", but i CAN't see any text next to it! same problem on the "settings tab"...just the icons, no text...the same problem in the HTC album (if i click on a picture in the picture tab the album shows up...if i click the bottom right icon, i can see 4 lines..i think these are the options, but i cant see any text!!
- if i go to the weather tab, i cant see anything...blank screen...(maybe its the same issue, such as the "no-text"-issue in the tabs i mentioned above?)
- in the sms tab sometimes, there is "(null)" instead of the date...in the mail app this "(null)" is ALWAYS shown instead of the date...
- where can i download themes for m2d and add it in the m2d configuration tool?
- and is it normal, that i have to overwrite the background-png in the "manilaGFX" folder to gain my own background in m2d??
please help, manila2d is so beautiful

Dude, I know that you are confused, but everything is in the Manilla thread.
This thread shouldn't be opened.

the plugin (application) in my opinion would best meet all your requirement is wad 2, eventhough it is not free but you can download a trial version. it is highly customizable and you can find some very beautiful and modern looks. this is best application if you want to replace your desktop.
p.s recommended for advanced users only

How to add weather locations?

I found a post detailing how to add some weather locations at http://www.avforums.com/forums/htc-mobile-phone-discussions/1081931-htc-hd2-15.html#post10873219

One of the problems that I've read is that of "My Location". After a bit of searching I found a tool that allows you to add more cities to the default list:
Manila 2.1 and 2.5 Weather Editor PPC Edition - xda-developers
Install that application to your phone and then go here AccuWeather.com - US Weather Forecast Search - Local Weather Forecasts
In the "Internation Location" enter the town/city that you live in (I'll use Worcester) and press "GO!".
Click on the relevant link (Worcester, United Kingdom (Worcestershire, England)).
In the URL you'll see loccode=EUR|UK|UK248|Worcester. We're interested in the EUR|UK|UK248|Worcester bit.
Open "Weather City Editor" on the HD2.
Choose "United Kingdom" from the "Country" drop down.
Press "Add City".
Choose (GMT) in "Time Zone".
Type Worcester in "City".
Type EUR|UK|UK248|WORCESTER in "AccuWeatherCode".
Press "Add".
At this point you can either add more cities or exit the application.
Restart your phone.
Now, go to the "Weather" application on the slide menu.
Choose "Menu" > "Add Location".
Start typing Worcester.
When you see it appear in the list, choose it (make sure it's the United Kingdom one :grin.
Press "Update Now".
Slide back to the "Home" screen and press on the clock. You should get to the "World Clock" screen.
Choose the "Worcester" radio button.
Press "Back".
It may take a few minutes for the animations to show up on the "Home" screen.

Now I was going to do this to see if it works, but to install the first app I need to go through the hassle of installing the .net compact framework, which frankly I can't be bothered to do. I did try searching through the windows directory for the xml file and found "Weather_Pages.xml" but I don't think it relates in any way to add city codes in it.
Does anyone have any idea which xml file I have to find and edit to add more location codes?
Thanks

Installing .NET framework probably takes less time than writing this post.
You have a solution - yet you choose not to use it because you're too lazy to install something that's needed anyway? Sorry, I can not understand your reasoning.

And it works very well too

AND... the author says you probably only need .Net 2.0 which is already on your phone.

Many thanks for this. Works a treat on my HD2. My Location never really worked for me in the small town I live in. This has provided a better solution. Cheers! mate.

why cant this crappy weather "my location" not just use google maps or just my f*cking GPS? Google maps finds my exact location in a sec even if I'm inside (almost everytime) and my GPS function works splendid, but the "my location" always shows some ****ty town 10 kilometres away. Its f*cking annoying. Sorry for the swearing but the h*ll were the developers thinking?????
"Okay, lets see, lets make a weather app!! yeah, good idea, lets also put in a GPS, but we should definitely not combine the two"
OMFG - I love my HTC but this app is making me dizzy, gonna disable it using duttys

I have been able to add my location and when I go to weather, it updates fine and shows the current weather. Right now it is cloudy. However, on the homepage under the clock, it keeps showing rain no matter what. The temp seems the same but the weather that is showing is not the accurate. How can I fix this?

Make sure the clock is not set to My Location, but to the same city as the weather tab.

Add locations
Been Playing with my new HD2 over the weekend and the my location works perfectly in a regional town in Australia but I can't manually add the towns into the weather tab to monior weather in nearby regional centres. The add loations only has major cities but the my location successfully finds all towns I have visited so far which arent avalable to be added as locations and returned the correct weather settings. If the my location is able to retrieve the weather there must be a way to get one of these towns permenantly added to my locations list so I can check the weather in other parts of the country outside capital cities.

My first post on this forum is a big thank you!!.
I'm very shallow and wanted the weather working or it was going back and I was going to get an iPhone instead.
Weather is now working for my town
How do I get it to display the days and weather description instead of IDS_Home_State_0 etc?
Thanks

My second post is I must learn to tell the difference between the / in a URL and the | that the instructions gave
All fixed, even happier now!

I'm sure I must appear really dumb here but where on the HD2 do I go to add my city?

Hi,
can anyone please give me a brief feedback if this tool works with the latest official rom release 1.66? Maybe he/she can even tell me his/her exp with a german device because I read alot about problems regarding sence & manila crashes in a german pocket pc forum (don't know if it is allowed to post the adress here, anyone may get it per PM). And I would appreciate to miss another hard reset
Thanks in advance!
Lars

Uhoh,
I used this app and first time it worked fine.
Second time, I've now lost the whole home screen and all options.
All I have is the start menu and icons across the top and the phone/contacts buttons at the bottom.
I assume this is because the editor disables touch flo 3d and htc sense when it starts and hasn't re-enabled them. Anyone point me in the right direction as to how to turn them back on?
Ta!
Sorted: Just had to go to the today settings and re-enable htc sense.

You have to turn Sence back on in....
Settings > Home > Items and put an X in the HTC Sence box

http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/editor/separator.gif
I've only just managed to actually find the right city codes for this!
I think the linked page has changed a bit and all the search boxes now operate by post code.
You actually have to switch to the international page and search on there rather than searching in any of the boxes.
Alternatively, just go straight to www .accuweather.com/world-index.asp

Thanks mate, I will try this program. I've been looking for a solution for this for a long time.

Background for all and transparent slider tab for T-Mobile 6.5 rom

all i want is to have the same background on all tabs and to have a transparent slider.
I've been looking for this like a crazy person and tried at least 5 different cabs and none work.
Any one can help me out

Hello
I think i can help you.I was searching for background on all tabs by yesterday
Try hd wall.You will get a result better than you want.
1-Just drag and drop your desired wallpaper for portrait mode
2-Then press landscape on the ta-op then drag and drop a wallpaper fits your landscape mode.
3-Click config and choose your appropriate Manila version then come back
4-Click create cab then choose both "include portrait wallpaper" and "include landscape wallpaper" then press convert button.That conversion porcess will take approximately 2 minutes.
5-Don't forget to consider where you want your cab file to be created checking the option on the top right.
6-And give a name in application title
7-You are ready to go.Press create cab and your cab will be created to the folder you chose so transfer it to your ppc and install then restart.This solved my problem.
And here is the cab to give your slider glass look

1) Is the cab I attached below one of the ones you've already tried?
2) If you've followed the steps above to install one of the HDWalls wallpapers, and it appears everywhere but your home tab, then you need to just follow the instructions HERE (it's a common thing for people to have to apply those steps when using HDWalls wallpapers)

whenever i've tried to install that BG for all pages wvga.cab file, it messes up my clock display. the clock get's huge & i can even read it. am i doing something wrong? i'm on Verizon & running Windows Mobile 6.5.

how to change current location

ive just got my new HTC touch2 and i cannot find away how to change my current location on home screen, it says rockville? im in england. also is there a way to change the background on the other screens apart from the home.
thanks

For the first question - i succeeded to change location to my town after i installed Weather Update from HTC site, but if your phone is operator one you need to hack it before that (HSPL).

start-settings-system-regeional settings,
then select your location from the list

To answer your other question: to change your homescreen and other tab screens use M2DC application.
