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.

One more from Mad Dr. Jekyll.....
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,
Here's a threat JUST for Cube Icons so we dont have to go searching threw 50 pages to find icons.
If possible submit all file formats so we dont have to do any modifications. Png's, Bmp's and Brn's... whatever we need
Also, if possible ,so people like myself who suck at photoshop dont have to dink around and what not to have a horrible looking icon, maybe try and make it so all 3 cube colour background options are included (bottom middle and top) as well even going as far as making the media cube side icons to replace Music, Photos and Videos. In the new settings modification program its looking like we'll be able to modify the mediahub side shortly too very easily instead of having to go into the \windows and altering it from there.
Having all these icon spaces covered will just ensure that we have the option of placing them anywhere on the cube.
Add any icons you might have so we have all the files in one thread. Even if they dont cover all the icon spaces.
Carlosp's Touch Settings Program
If you do want to customize your cube please go to Carlos' "Touch Settings" Thread and download the program he's been working on. He has a new beta version available right now that makes it really easy to not only customize the icons on both your ApLauncher and MediaHub panels of the Cube but also now can change the animation as well so you no longer have the default icons showing up anymore when the cube spins.
Go here for the beta testing program:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556&page=29
OR go right to here to download the latest "actual" release of the progam (which doesnt change your animations):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556
If anyone has any requests to make for icons please dont hesitate to ask and I'm sure someone can get on making one. They dont take too long to make so please lets get a really good archive of icons going for the Touch!
Here's a quick referance list of where to find the icons that have so far been uploaded to this thread. Most Icons are only made for the ApLauncher Panel so far unless otherwise stated in the title. Should you require the icons that you like for the MediaHub Panel as well just contact the person who posted it and request it.

Download the Zip file below for the ApLauncher blank Icon set as well as the MediaHub Icon set to make your own. Remeber to post them for everyone to use.
Also, in order to convert your BMP files to BRN files so those of us with the CDMA version of the Touch you will need the BrnConvert.exe program. Very easy to use just drop your BMP file in and it converts it for you. Then package everything up in a Zip or Rar file and you are good to post!
You might want to attach a jpg with each file...
so people know whether it's worth downloading or not.
I'm curious though, why have BMPs and BRNs as well? The cube icons are all PNGs. You'd only need BNRs for the other face of the cube (Pictures, Videos and Music)

I've got a Telus branded Canadian CDMA HTC touch and wasn't able to load on normal PNG's for the icons. When I would the space would just be vacant of any icon all together and show a black space. The icons, even the ones on the application launcher side of the cube had to be in the BRN format. In order to convert the files to BRN they had to be in BMP format first which is why those are there as well. You wouldnt happen to have the blank grey backgrounds so people like myself can try and make our owns would you? I assume you had blanks in order to make the tomtom and Navigon GPS icons for us
Sure,
here you go:
Brilliant. This should help alot of people. Thank you! Do you have the Media Hub backgrounds as well?
Here are the blanks and the one that I've designed for my Touch
In case anyone wants to use them:
You got some nice media icons there, only the video one seems to have the wrong background, appears to be to light.
Quite right!
Re-posted...
Just being trying those media icons, but you don't have the blank for the main screen, so as mine revolves it shows the original icons.

I just reopend the files as BMP's and resaved them as PNG files. Try redownloading the tomtom files and load them onto your phone. If that doesnt work maybe try opening the BMP's yourself and save those as PNG's... Also is it possible that your cube requires the files to be in BRN format? I tried a number of different icons before I realized that I needed BRN files. When I would load the png files on I would just get an empty black space where the icon was supposed to be.

Thanks a lot, appreciate your good work!
By the way, is it possible to make the default MSN icon (with 2 people, 1 green 1 blue)?
Here's some alternative
MSN icons...
And a new Comms one
This was fun, doing the glowing rings:
MSN Live Black and White
Icon actually changes colour when icon is pressed as well.
Updated Icons as they were a little off center
Made a skin for the hybrid (dual OS) user. For fun only.
Things used: WA3, HTC home, skins and icons from different authors, some new skinning knowledge. I dont have softkeys visible at the bottom (I use only the hard buttons) so I get more screen space. The black one below is my replacement for the green 6.1 screen.
Having Schap's Advanced Config and KaiserTweak helps in addition to the above programs user menus, and Wisbar skins by Juni are sweet. I personally photoshopped the magnifying glass in the bottom left for the popups for the new tasks, as well as the "A" for apps, and moved the settings from another HTC home customizer icon set. dThis is a fast layout that is really simple looking but everything is accessible by hardbutton maps and touchscreen UI.
I was going to call it something playing off the Parallels idea, but the Titan doesn't have enough ram to make that believable
I will give you the skins and icon folders if you like any of this.

Maybe if some people want it, I will post links to the programs and the skin files I made but I would like to learn how to skin mortplayer a bit better. I have to put together the slices so I can skin it with the same background (notice it is a mix of the default desktop backgrounds for the two OS).
dude i want it
Here is what you will need. You will need the following:
Wisbar Advanced: This is where you will use the skin from inside Macrosoft WA toolbar.zip. Install skin file while in wisbar then make sure the windows/apple icon is there in the folder. If not overwrite with the one from the archive.
HTC Home and HHC Customizer 1.0: First you will need to load the most current HTC Home and then open HHC Customizer. Download the following skins: 1. Background = Transparent 2. Clock = Segoe shaded transparent 3. Mac Leopard. I turned off weather and music. You can do what you want. You will need to put those icons in the HTC Home folder into the one on the phone in the HTC Home folder.
Macrosoft background can be opened in pictures and videos to set as background with 0% transparency.
You will need to overwrite the welcomehead.96.png file. Cut from this archive and paste to \Windows.
Next, run the macrosoft.cab for a replacement background on the phone skin.
Lastly, you will need mortplayer and then unzip vista.zip and extract vista.mpz to mortplayer's folder in \Program Files\Mortplayer then select that from the menu.
That's it. Let me know if you have problems or if I forget something.
http://rapidshare.com/files/189717709/TF3D_HD_Template.zip
Here you'll find a Photoshop file with basically all screen elements of the TF3D HD manila interface present.
Unless I've missed something all icons/button/etc are present except for the weather section. I've only included the main icons there so you can put your flag on the moon..
If somebody feels like mapping out every raindrop like in this psd file, please let me know so I can update the file
The bmp files of the photo and video sub menu's are present as well.
These will go in the windows directory.
I plan to add the blackstone dialer .. but am not sure it's that much needed.
The main idea was to map out the Manila files.
I've build it from itjes Full HD cab for the X1. As far as I know it should work for all other touch HD manila setups..
import/export
I've used the mode9editor to extract all png's.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3095189&postcount=1
The mode9editor has a batch import/export function.
When you use the layer names in the PSD file you're able to batch import all icons you'll change.
Transparency
Most icons will have either a red pixel line border or at least 2 red pixels at the corners.
This way you can select the alpha channel of the layer, crop your image and have to correct dimensions for the png/qtc file.
All you then need to do is remove the red pixel before saving.
For 99.9% of the images you can do it by a color select unless your new theme will be red
Buttons
All buttons that have a press and rest stage have been linked to each other and put on top of each other. In the corresponding layer you'll notice this soon enough
Tiny pixel files
There are a few images that are 1x1 or 2x2 pixels. These are present and I've tried to make all layers in logic order to be easy to find.
Some pixels are 100% transparent and therefor red which was easier to find
Batch PSD export
There is need to find or create a photoshop action that will:
- select layer
- crop by alpha selection
- remove red pixel
- export by layer name
- repeat this process for all layers
If there's anyone out there that can help me make such an action please do. As I have limited experience in advanced photoshop actions
All suggestions and help (especially with the photoshop actions) are welcome!
With a little help this can be an easy automated template for our own redesigning fetish
