Dear all,
I'm just trying to find a nice theme for my Tytn. Up to know I prefer the Windows Defeault (the blue one) instead of the Htc_default. Just one thing, is there a way to match the phone application with the Windows Default theme colours. I mean, when you press the talk button and lanch the phone app (the one with the phone keyboard or the call list) it is always in green (wallpaper, buttones, etc). Is there a way or a software to modify it and make it in blue?
Thanks alot, Diego

Hi,
Check out this thread;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=60958
Download the attached file, copy to your TYTN and install to main memory.
Hope it is what you are looking for.
Cheers!
very nice although maybe a bit dark. Is it possible to unwind it.....
Hi,
I guess you could edit all the buttons and change the backgrund to make it lighter in colour but it is a lot of work!
One thing I did notice and have tried to overcome it by editing .dll files with no success is that the Video buttons do not have transparent corners so if you change the background the corners are visible. However once you decide on your background you can then edit the VT buttons and colour the corneres to match.
Google "WinCE Cab Manager", download it (if you dont have it already), you can then edit the Cab file.
Please share any changes you may make.
Cheers.
cheers
OK, here is one with a lighter blue background so you can see the black text better
That's awesome... now I just need to find how to change the skin of the "communication manager"... where you can turn on/off BT, Wi-Fi etc... this is still in red :-D
Thanks alot to all of you... you rock!

This might not be a P3600 only questions as much as a windows mobile 5 theme question maybe, but I have a HTC p3600 and I´m trying to find a "theme" or something that is more adapted for one hand usage on the touch screen. What I mean is not just another standard looking theme with just different colors and pictures, but a completely different design, like the Iphone menu design or something? Something where there are larger icons or fields on the today screen for all the apps for instance, so you don´t have to use the stylus to press them.. And maybe a larger keypad so you can type text messages with just your fingers, the same way you can type numbers to dial on the larger keys..
Anyone has any ideas?
You can have a look at the rltoday today plugin here :

Concerning the input you can consider using "phonepad" there is a topic here :

The program looks good and it feels good. Maybe I'll make a mistake but (MDA TOUCH, WM6) The phone button responds with a error (File not found \windows\vtkey.exe). Same error when trying to use the battery button, \windows\power.exe.
Is there a solution ?
Now all we need is an iphone like photo viewer, what you can navigate with your fingertips..
Any idea?

Yes its different for most devices/Os's so go into the \windows folder and find out which files do what and simply change the config1.txt file

NICE APP
Grumps,
VERY NICE APP. I am using it and it is great. Works well with S2U2 version too. My input for cometics only:
a. Can we put the operator name closer to the signal bar? This will allow room for other indicators such as Wifi and BT.
b. Can we have BT and Wifi indicator on the top bar? These two will make the SW going from COOL to WHOA!!!!!
Thanks and cant wait for your next release.

I can the only problem is what do we do if the operator name is too long mine is HSDPA Vodacom SA and I made it so its just fits??
If i make it smaller it might say HSDPA Vodaco or something and ill hear more people crying? Any suggestions
And yes only QVGA, I dont have a VGA device to develop with sorry
This is a great app except...
There's no animation when you launch something. Or highlight. So sometimes you press again while waiting for something to start up.
Can we please get some sort of feedback when it's accepted the fact you pressed a button? Not sure how this works on the fruit based phone but I'm sure there should be some feedback.
Thanks.
ok just want to say great app.
here are some suggestion for you on the next version.
add scrolling to the app so if you want to add more icons on one page you can.
let it pick up default icons from the programs so you don't have to waste anytime on picking an icon for it. (but you can if you want too.)
scroll with finger to go right or left to go to the next page.
i have some other ideas and i would like to share it with you. if you are interested please P.m.
thanks,
the changelog says it has animations now. I just can't see any. What is meant by "animation added"?
Great work anyways.
BTW: Being able to scroll only one of the horizontal lines from left to right would be great, for, let's say, less important apps. So you have 3 rows of static buttons and just one row that can be scrolled by finger gestures... Saw that on iPhone, looked amazing...
I Concur
IMO, it would be great to have a scrolling launch page. Either horizontal or vertical. Also, annimation and vibrate with icon color change to reflect program choice.
Does the calendar icon keep up with the actual date??
Thanks,
CG
Thanks for such a GREAT app - assigned a button to it and it works like a charm. I do have one question \ request: is it possible to move the title bar elements up a bit? I use an app to hide the Windows Start bar and the softkeys (it is one of Vijay's tools) and your app then acts as my home page for most running applications (there are a few exceptions but overall it works great). The only issue is that the elements on your app (clock, battery, signal indicator, etc.) are a little low (2 pixels or so) so things look a little "off". I was hoping it was or could be a user changable setting.
Please don't take this as a complaint! Your app, combined with S2U2 provide an excellent UI experience. Thanks again for such excellent work.

Good idea to assign it to a button, I was trying to figure out how to integrate it better as a complete solution. Only problem is that on the Touch there is only really one button I can use and I was using it for the Full Screen Keyboard and to hold it down to get voice dial. I'm sure I'll work something out though.
I saw the link in the first post talking about how to get the .lnk files right and I assume that means for the Phone/Calc/etc which do not have .exes that I can easily find. I'll do some research to get that working.
Thanks for a great app!
Thanks for the info

Grumps,
Thanks for the info. I can see the name is an issue. If it is moved left align one space right after the signal strength then it will be good even with the longer operator name. If it is done that way, then if the BT and WiFi indicators are needed, that is when they are turned on, then they can be arranged to the left of the clock. These will cover the last portion of the long operator name but I think it will be acceptable because many things operate in the same manner due to the fact that there is not enough space for everything.
Thanks again for this VERY NICE APP. IT ROCKS!
Run the CAB file and soft reset of your device.
Having this skin, you can choose type and quantity of active functions. You can edit the register or use Schaps Advanced Configration Tool v 3.x to do it.
This solution don't replace the existing CommManager. You can use both. Use the Advavanced Config to choose between skins:
On/Off Button - for standard Diamond skin
Large Button - for Kaiser or DiamondStyle skins.
Buttons names will be displayed in your language.
In Dimond Style skin you can use 7 to 10 buttons (from 12).
WARNING! When you use 10 buttons, place the Sound/Vibrate button in last line for better performance.
In Kaiser skin - 10 buttons (from 12).

Many thanks Balu888 and Nemos (4pda.ru) for drawings updated.
Thanks! I never quite liked having to compromise some options and decide which 6 to include in the original Comm Manager.
Now I can have them all!!!!
Many thanks
Thanks. Nice to see all the communication options all at once rather than a limit.
Now all we need is for one of our skinning masters to come up with a more diamond looking interface and this will be really cool.
EDIT: Just noticed there is no option to turn off 3G!
Can this be made a tab in TF3D?
I renewed the graphic files (Look in the preview), but i´m not able, to make a cab out of these files. I don´t have the knowledge in this way. If someone want´s to make this job, i post here the changed graphics. But at 1st it would be good, to get a feedback.
To integrate it in TF3D, you can use the Softkey Changer. With this program you can replace one tab of the homescreen from Programs or else to Comm Manager.
Is it possible to make a 3G button. I use it a lot to save battery.
New idea
Here I have tried to make skin in Diamond CommMamager style .
Having this skin , you can choose type and quantity of active functions from 7 to 10 (12 accessible). You can edit the register or use Schaps Advanced Configration Tool v 3.2 to do it. Now you don't need to change buttons pictures as in Kaiser CommManager.
BUT I haven't standard icons for buttons InternetSharing and VOIP to finish this work.
Send me, pls... who has...
I´ve got it to run...with some tricks. But i don´t like, that this module don´t recognize, that there are masked .png-files. So all, what should be invisible, is now white. But the functions are okay. It integrates itself into the Comm Manager in the Connection-Tab. But not in the new seperate Comm Manager tab, that´s a problem.
Also there are little graphic errors, which are not in the original graphics.

Really like the concept here. Might need some work on cleaning up the images and maybe adding a little depth. Great work though.

Check the registry keys, for Diamond standard must be:
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\CommManager]
SupportedFunctions=6
DisableButtonText=3
For Kaiser:
SupportedFunctions=10
DisableButtonText=2
And soft-reset, of course...
Or use Advanced Config \CommManager: choose your 6 function and On/Off Buttons.
i tried more commanager and now i have nothing !!!

You mean found the solution to delete it and install the original Comm Manager, or found the solution to make it work ? If the answer is the second one, please share it with us !!!!!
This is very nice thank you.
will this replace the existing comms manager? I'd like to have both on my device and remove the new one without problems if I decide.

Diamond Style Comm Manager 10 Button
Drawings are updated - many thanks Nemos (4pda.ru), missing icons are added. But without album orientation.
You can use 7 to 10 buttons (from 12).
WARNING! When you use 10 buttons, place the Sound/Vibrate button in last line for better performance.
Looks great... just two question :
- only for russian ?
- is it possible to uninstall it and go back to default settings ?
But it would be nice to have more than 6 items on the diamond !
Ciao

Help, I'm not sure what I've done but when I start comm manager, the menu buttons show but the screen display does not!
I've tried downloading 3rd party app replacements but they don't seem to deal with the HD screen - part of them show on screen but the rest of the screen shows the background.
Can anyone help, please!
thanks

..............
Got into the same problem a couple of week back after installing and uninstalling 15-tab TF3D.
What did you do to get there?
My only way out short of a complete reset was to install "mROM Opal Diamond Comm Manager". Google it.
This is less than optimum as there is some problems with the display but gets you going.
If someone has a proper answer, thanks to let us know!!
I too have this problem which I assume was caused after I tried out Panosa's COMMS manager tab. I'm sure this must just be a DLL or something that has been over-written and can be restored but we need the help of an expert to point this out.
Panosa, is there anything that you overwrite that needs to be restored for COMMS manager?
Thanks. That kind of fixes it. I now have 2 com manager shortcuts. Both "appear" to lead to the same app but, one works and one doesn't!
As you say, if anyone has a better answer, please do let us know!
OK, found the problem. WHen there are more than six items selected for the comm manager, it cannot show them as on/off buttons. It defaults to LARGE buttons on the screen but the problem is that there is a bug with Manila and the background page is transparent.
SOLUTION: download schaps advanced config 3.3. In the MENU | MORE SETTINGS | COMM MANAGER, ensure that only six (max) items are selected. Then change the BUTTON STYLE to ON/OFF and voila... a normal Comms Manager returns.
My only problem now is that with all my messing about trying to get this right My 3G button appears to have lost it's icon ... and functionality
First class help- Many thanks. That does solve the problem. Well done.
Hope your 3G comes back soon.
Happy new year!!!
as golightlygl said : it seems that on touch HD the 3g functionnality of comm manager doesnt work. When clicking on the button it doesn't do anything. I've been searching on the net net for quite a moment now and I didn't find an solution.
Someone has an idea ?
