Creating a font cab. - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hello, i recently found a 3 .cab files that changed the fonts in on my HTC Touch. The 3 files contained Segoe, Calibri and Myriad.
Since i'm not a big hero with registery edits, programming and stuff, I was wondering if someone could make a cab file with the font "Helvetica".
Thanks

give me that font.. i need exactly what you need to have.
http://www.fontseek.com/fonts/helvetica.htm
damn, it may be GOOD ebook font..hmm.
(btw, it is that Amiga font, lol ?)

Does any one know how to make the font aittle bit bigger for the whole system?

Here you go sir!

Helvetica.ttf
Thank you in advance.

this is exactly what i was trying to do but never got it to work, been too busy to revisit it.... btw helvetica is the most awesome typeface ever! watch the helvetica documentary!

...here is CAB...
http://www.mm.pl/~xoen/helvetica_font.cab

@nothin
Thanks for making the cab.
I guess you could say, thanks for nothin. *cough*

First off, thank you for the effort. But, after installing it, i got a message saying that the application might not work due to it's build for a older version of Windows Mobile.
After a soft reset there where no changes.
My guess is that it didnt install it.

you can place any truetype fonts you like in /windows/fonts and then select them using the application tweaks2k2. This is pay software but you get 3 free runs to try it out, so you can install, change the font and you can change it back if you don't like it and still don't want to buy the software. It is a registry edit somewhere so when it is changed it stays changed until you 'tweak' it back.

I have a question to the graphic designers who are "in the know"

im trying to come out with an iphone/cube with the new ultimate launcher that is similar to the release I was going to make on WAD... you can see a preview a few pages back on this thread if you want to see it... the only problem that im having is how to convert torx png icons to ico files... i converted them myself, but i cant get the background on them to stay transparent... if someone can help me out with this... itd be much appreciated... because i will be able to release this design to the public
please help
Which programs have you used?
I remember I once used Microangelo and it worked fine. It's not free, though, and I don't think you can do any batch converting if you have lots of files that needs to be converted.

yea, thats my problem... i dont think ill need a program like this after this project, so i dont want to have to buy a program... the one i used was "abc" i think it was "advanced batch converter"
but, yes that is crucial... id like to be able to do these all at once... instead of one at a time... i have several different icon packs... akumas icons and the torx icons... if anyone is willing to convert them for me... your efforts will be acknowledged when i release the ul skin...
if anyone can help, id appreciate it... thanks
Ok, then I don't think I can help you
Try "ICOFX" (Freeware) , i made my UL-Cube Icons with it. Converts everything to ico, also "all at once".

Please, can you tell me what options did you set in ICOFX to create your icons?
I'm trying to build some in my own but when I upload them into UL the resolution doesn't look so good.

New 3G Dialer Skin

This is one of my personal skins for the dialer in udK's ROM and Bepes, OTHERS I DONT KNOW ABOUT (so long as the layout looks like that it should be OK)
Use at your own risk... I will not be responsible for anything...this install will overwrite original dialer graphic files..so if you need to revert back...BACKUP FIRST!
This for both portrait and landscape modes
Install
Extract to a folder on storage card and move/copy to windows folder (I use Total Commander)
I have attached 2 cab files...for the complete installation of the Dialer, Progress and Call Log screens...
Please remember these are UNINSTALLABLE and your phone will need a hard reset to get rid of them.
great dail-pad !
anything in black ?
Great work bro, just missing the progress screen.
Cheers.

I ve done one ...have a look....if you like it I will post it.
I am also working on the Call Log Screen...but cannot get the dll bitmaps right....see the 2nd picture.
Progress looks nice, but why not the same colour scheme like dialer white, black and green on top??
Call log screen looks nice and clean also, I´d appreciate if u share them.
Thanks my friend.
Here is a modified Progress Screen
Copy files from zip to \windows
add the reg file to the registry...
this is really goodlooking... the only problem for me is the fact that this dialer.. (this is Nadavi's dialer no?).. has small buttons... in relation to the original dialer.
Thank you for the regs I've trying to figgur how to change the collor of the text in the progress window and now I found it this will make my Diamond skin Dialer perfect Thanks ever so much
Nicely done bro. Just missing the call log screen to be one of best dialers around.
Cheers.
Here is the modified Call Log Screens...I have created 2 variations, one white/grey and on green...
To install
1.I recommend you backup phcanoverbmp.dll in the \Windows folder
2. Unzip and copy to \windows ...reset.
Please remember the icons in the white/grey dialer are a bit dodgy..if someone wants to attempt to rectify them....use reshacker with phcanoverbmp.dll and modify the 9 bmp images

[APP]+[SKN][28/10 UPDATED] Yet another Calculator Skin (do-it-yourself MultiLanguage)

I know, there quite some Manila Calculator skins around. Personally I think L.Sylvain did a pretty good job, but there is always room for enhancement... !
I slightly changed the button-grid to resemble the Manila-Dialer more, but most noticeable is the rearrangement of the calculator layout. I canged the 5x5 design to a 4x6 design, so it would be more similar to the well-known "hardware" calculators.
I did resample the skin to QVGA and include it into the cab-file. So, it should install on all devices (couldnt test QVGA though, I hope it looks a bit decent )
About the files:
Use the cab file to install Spb Calculator together with these skins:
Copy the cab file to your device, navigate to it using File Explorer and double-click it.
If, for any reason, you don't want to install the cab file but just want to exchange the skin manually, you will find the artwork in the zip file.
Localization:
To localize this tiny app to your own language, edit the "calculator_eng.txt" file. Preserve the english text, but change the text after the "|" accordingly. I uploaded an example in Dutch.
DON'T CHANGE THE FILENAME! Copy the edited file to the Windows on your device.
UPDATES:
28/10:
As reported, the QVGA downsampling didn't work out as expected. I did some clean-up but I don't have the means to test it. So, the cab-file is updated, please report back the results!
24/8:
Landscape skin completed, I updated cab and zip file.
For all purist among you (like myself ):
Although I tried to make this skin as similar to the Manila Dialer as possible, I noticed that at the Landscape-skin of the Dialer the backspace-button is way out of place.
Not only being a purist but an aesthetician as well, I took the liberty to adjust this defect.
looks good! thank you!
Great work i just suggest (my opinion only) you to rework a little bit the symbol gfx (x /...), but hey, great job !! (i was not able to put so much color without altering functions)...
downloading and testing...

Thanks for your advice, I have to admit I wasn't patient enough to do a detailed job on the symbols, but I still have your example for a next version...
i'm not so patient too, that's why i'd post 4 version before the final, feel free to use or inspire my gfx, they are free for everyone i just made them with paint (so the tool is free too )
waiting for landscape... take your time
Is this for SpbCalc?
pedmond said:

Yes it is, in fact it is the complete install-cab with adapted skin files. So there is no need to install SpbCalc seperately. It doesn't hurt if it is already installed, but you will loose the former skin.

[THE] Andys Halloween theme

Heres my first TF3D theme. I was going to change more of the icons/buttons etc but just didnt have the time....Feel free to make additions to it, you got a month left
If you dont know how to install .theme files search for tf3d config
btw, thx to NisseDILLIGAF for his blood lol
looks great man! i love the icons
Having trouble using this cool theme
I downloaded the file, I unzipped the file, I extracted the file to my PC. I use XP. I copied the extracted file to my phone's internal memory under Pictures and I can't see it when I look for it in my phone.
Also, I can't open it on my PC, it says it's not "a valid theme."
Any suggestions? Total NOOB question, I know, but that's what I am at this point with this phone.
Thanks! Ellen

You need to change the last part in the name halloween.zip to halloween.theme
And you also need this app TF3D config, to set it as your theme. You'll find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749
Everyone has been a noob in there lifetime
WOW....love this theme, nice little touches like the spider webs behind the program icons, little pumpkins on the favourite people, great icons, grave stones and all...well done...10/10
Glad you liked it
My wife loves this theme on her diamond!
HE HE.....last night I checked my weather and on the full moon clear sky image is now a small witch on a broomstick....brilliant theme....just so fun...

Wow. Maybe I'm just cursed but nothing is working. I changed the name of the file as you suggested, still nothing. Windows claims it is not a valid theme file.
Then I downloaded Diamond TF3D Config Setup v0.6.7.CAB per your advice above, and I can't find anything to open THAT file, either.
I had the Instinct prior to this phone and I am afraid the Diamond is waay over my head with regard to tweaks. I sure would like to come up to speed, though. I am using the Sprint issued Diamond with the burgundy flat back. If that makes any difference.
Can anyone help me with this? I want so much to be able to tailor this phone with cool themes, etc.
Thanks! Ellen
i love this theme very much thx for sharing
Absolutely kicks butt! Sprint Diamond users, delete tweak.xml from TF3D folder to make app work.
I love your Theme!
Odd, though, the last number on my clock flips back and forth from old format to new theme. What do you suppose could be causing that?

I"ve been getting quite a few pm's regarding this old project of mine, sadly i moved on from the htc blue angel a long time ago, and so i no longer support this project, sorry guys, please stop making request for wvga/wqvga/etc cabs it wont happen, besides editing cpr files is not rocket science, anyways i hope this clears out/stops the PM's i've been getting lately, regarding this project.

I like that the icons on your taskbar are all sized and spaced properly in the screenshot. I tried the 21198 build and the icons are unevenly spaced and the "X" was abnormally small. Looked pretty bad. I would definitely go back to a 6.5 sys if I could find one that looked as nice as your screenshot.
This was on a VGA device (Diamond).
Well i will try it... Jejeje
I will try it but I need to restore the icons from the last build from Xplode just resizing them again... and overwrite yours cause the xplodes are pettier... nice shot men!
so do you know how to get back the animations?

Those files have to be put in the windows folder with the corrisponding png files... right?
