I have seen various posts about changing paths and icons in the cube, but what i would like to know is . Is there a way of having it match your today screen instead of charcoal colour. Imagine having your theme Guava bubbles and your cube reflecting the same.Would be nice if someone could come up with a way
I Think you've juste to edit and chnge each color of uour *.png installed in your Windows directory or HTCHome directory
Just copy them to your Windows Desktop to view which one you have to edit
and then replace them
The only problem is that the animations themselfs (when the cube is actualy moving) are hardcoded. It shows when you have some different icons on the cube. When rotating, the old icons appear on the locations you had new ones
I think someone was trying to edit the animation as well.
The animation is actually a sort of movie thing so it uses less resources. Its hard to change it, since no one knows the format But someone is editting it so it moves different I thought.
The animation is formed of multiple ".brn" files. There is an application to transform brn to bmp but nothing to merge from bmp to brn so for the moment no color edition is posible during the animation.
thanks for all the info people. much appreciated. i guess with time this situation will change but for now will keep default. cant see no point in changing something if its gonna use defaults as soon as you rotate.

so it would be at least possible to "debrand" a branded cube when I take the .brn files of an unbranded Touch?

Try to overwrite all the *.brn files in \windows with the attached original HTC ones and your cube should be debranded - but you have the icons from HTC and the links "behind" the icons from your provider.
It is possible that they are different.
If you want to get back simply delete all those files and your original ROM files should come back instead.
But to be save backup all your*.brn files before
I think it should also be possible to overwrite the hh_launcher*.png icons.
Simply disable the HTC Home element in your today screen settings before overwriting these files. Should work in my opinion
Where are the rest of the animation BRNs

Hey, I downloaded your zip file, but it was missing several animation brns. I'm looking for the following in the same original HTC format.
A2.brn, A4.brn, B2.brn, B4.brn, C2.brn, C4.brn
Thanks!
Or,....
You just take these "clean" files and have no icons on the rotating cube .
I'm not in a mood of sorting them out for you just download and take a look wich ones you need
Greetz,
i was pushing the icons so i could show you the effect as to what happens when i push (was trying to move my fingers around)

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?

Anyone get anymore icons for the touch cruise? I just have the few in the top of the post, but I found a tone for the regular touch. Of course they are all too small, and I don't want to go through changing the height.

Well I appreciate the help Olio, but I post as a last resort. I have been through threads and posts and everything is for the Elf, or is something I already have. Some of the colors are a shade off and it drives me crazy to see the difference between the squares. Ever notice no matter what Icon you use...when you first bring the cube up it always show the default icon for a split second? That is so annoying to me! Anyway thanks guys. Maybe you can help with this. Where is TomTom saved on your device? I don't mean card or unit. I can not for the life of me find the path. I've searched all the directories, apps, programs, but nothing....AND is there a way to stop the TomTom quick launch remain on the today screen with out softreset? Sorry, a little off subject.
I have tried to search and find what to do to install a theme that has icons, and cannot figure it out. Do I need some program that everyone is using? Also on dialer skins how are those installed?
Do skins kill battery life or use alot of system resources?
Thanks
What theme? If its HTC home, you install the .cab file from the phone or sync the phone to pc and double click .exe.
If its a .tsk file, Put the file in the windows directory of the phone then go to today screen and select from there.
Skins dont use a lot of system resources UNLESS they are actively doing something( S2U2 for example if you install a moving gif as your wallpaper) as they are just being used instead of the originals.. Cheers...
yea, u need to be a wee bit more clear as to what you want, you're probably new and dont know the right terms, so maybe if you posted some pics we could understand a bit better what u are trying to achieve.
this is the style im looking for http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=51534&d=1190401691 with the big clock and some icons below. I think that I will need a plug in to show the icons. I installed a tsk theme but it only changed the color of the top and bottom bars, but did not show the large clock or icons like that one. I saved it to the memory card, not within a folder and I was able to browse find and install it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry Im New
thanks,
Nicholas
that big clock is the htc home plugin, which you can download all over this forum, or at www.pocketemu.com which incidentally also has another program called htc home customizer, which would be the easiest way to customize the home icons. It may not have that exact theme you are looking for, so the best way to get that theme is to ask the person who posted that screenshot

Ditto. Welcome to the addiction...I'm lucky to keep the same clock and icons for more than a week...
I am curious if this would be possible. I doubt that it is, otherwise someone would have likely done this by now, but is it possible to have the windows taskbar (as well as the bar with the softkeys on the bottom) be clear so that you can see the full image in TF3D, with the icons and writing over top of it just like the slider and icons?
I understand that even if this is possible, it could run in to a few problems once you are no longer in TF3D, because from what i understand you can't have the taskbar be different colours depending on what the phone is doing.
Anyways, is it possible, yay or nay?
Nay.
Yay, with wisbar advance.
can??? haw?
Thanks kraize,I have never used wisbar advance, can you actually make it clear or would I have to skin it with the photo?

Not sure about that one. I know that one person skinned it with a photo to make it look clear. I know you can make it very close using transparency. But don't know if it'd be completely clear.
It is possible, there is a program out there called "PMC TodayShrink", im sorry i don't have a link for it, i used it on my kaiser to see the full today screen ( i had a nice rl today theme) but with the kaiser i had enough buttons to simulate the hidden softkeys, but with the diamond this will be something else......
Edit: i think i misunderstood you here, did you mean transparent?
Yeah, transparent. I don't want to remove the taskbar and softkeys, i just want to make the black bars transparent or rather, completely remove any colour so that it just looks like the softkey writing is on the background picture. Exactly like with the no curtains .cab, where the date and the service provider writing now just looks like it is on the background picture.
And i checked out wisbar advance 3.0 and that could potentially work by just creating a skin for it that will just continue the background picture, but it also changes / adds a lot that i don't want.
Bumping this thread....Is it now possible to make the black bars that house the taskbar and softkeys transparent when using TF3D2?
A transparent bar would be awesome, but I realize this isn't as simple.
What I would like to know is how to change the colour of the bars?
I know is is possible, because I've seen WM6.1 themes that has the taskbar coloured.
I would just like to make the bar something a little more exciting than plain black.
EDIT: Nevermind, I found a little program here on XDA that changes the taskbar colour along with some text colours, as well. Really awesome program! It can be found here.

There are a bizillion ways to accomplish this... editors galore... but the simplest way IMO is to use a .tsk file. They're all over, but I have collected several - both shiny bars and flat matte. I've posted my screen to show one shade of purple (I have two)... Just apply your TF3D theme and choose a complimentary tsk file... It will change all of the windows colors (ie, menus, scrollbars, taskbars, etc.), but not those of TF3D. It is my experience that those colors remain true to the theme. However, there are several "focus" cabs around that will change the TF3D selected items colors.
I have several colors in both styles (and a few focus colors)... if there is something in particular you have in mind, let me know and I'll upload it if I have it.

Thanks a lot for the help offer, I must probably have just found the solution when you replied.
Just about anything concerning manila I already have covered and have an extensively modified theme for manila, I'm just waiting for a particular slider that will complete my TF3D theme. Slider
A coloured taskbar was the next step and now I have that covered, as well :-D
I've attached a screenie of my today screen. The clock I made myself; it was supposed to look like carbon, but I failed, sadly. I like your clock, though, but it won't fit with my theme.
Thanks again. I appreciate it a lot and just might call on your help one day :-D
EDIT: Okay, seems I needed your help earlier than I expected :-D
How did you get your "start" text to show "Maureen"? I followed the steps posted at PPCGeeks by Tsowen (don't have the link with me now), but I can't find the string they're referring to in my shellres.192.dll :/
Oh, and how did you get the "alarm" text to go away, as well? As you can see, mine still shows "6:00 AM" for my alarm and I'm not sure which text to remove from the manila file to hide that, as well.

It's not gone... it's just gray. Not sure how it got that way, though. LOL If I figure it out, I'll let you know.
Sorry I wasn't any more help. I seem to remember having to try, try again with the Start text, though. See if you have better luck using the file I've indicated above. Here are the instructions as I saved them:
Change Start Text
1. Unsign your shellres.dll.0409.mui
2. Open it in one of these three Reshack / PE Explorer / Restoratorand go to string value 321 and change the name from Start to whatever you want.
3. Save your modified file
4. Open MssignerorMultiple file Signer
· click Start sign Process (for MFS follow directions in the link)
· a window will pop-up with "Process finished!"
· You will see a that a text file has been create for your shellres on your desktop
· Open the text file, if you see "Warning: This file is signed, but not timestamped, Succeeded" you know the file was signed.
5. Transfer the modified file to your SD card
6. Open TC and navigate to the /Windows and rename your old file to "shellres.dll.0409.mui.bak"
7. Move your modified file from your SD card into the /Windows
8. Soft Reset updated 12/09/08

I found these searching around... the first zip contains two shades of purple shiny bars, the wm_purple contains flat bars. I am also attaching a purple WMP (the original, just purple) skin which matches 75769.tsk... portrait and landscape (PURPORIG.zip). Just unzip and copy the files into Windows (after you make a back up of the originals, of course).

Have you tried opening WMP while already in landscape mode? I have a touch pro and mine won't go landscape until I slide out the keyboard. Do a search for apps that address the g sensor/accelerometer (I thnk...LOL).
Below is a cab for "glossy black bars"... I've never tried it. I also have a tsk file with shiny gray bars... might be a good contrast to your theme.
