im looking for a way to edit the default htc home plugin. mostly im interest in editing the messaging area. is this all in the HTCHome.dll or is there an xml that can be edited?
i want to edit the plugin so i can add the totals, see screenshot for example..
i know i can read the registry to get the totals:
HKCU\System\State\Messages\TotalEmail\Unread\Count
HKCU\System\State\Messages\sms\Unread\Count
HKCU\System\State\Phone\Missed Call Count
but from what i gather, it's all hardcoded into the dll? i figured the space is there for total count, why not try to display it?

I was wondering (even after much searching) if there is a "program" to edit the registry settings for the TouchFLO app on the wizard? For instance, say i wanted to change what text is displayed or what program the touch "buttons" point to. eh? eh? the registry hacks are just so time consuming. it would be cool if someone wrote a little text program to change them. maybe to make it easier? who else is with me?
i dont want to redo the app at all, all i want to do is customize the three hotkeys??? i want the text app to go to pocketCM threaded text messaging?? is that possible?
Not sure but does this help?
that edits the tabs and everything. I just want to edit the three little boxes above the tabs. The email, text, and missed calls
this program cannot edit those three tabs?? maybe a reg edit, to specify path to the PCM text messaging?? anyone have a clue how to do thisZ
It takes more than a simple registry hack to get this to point elsewhere. I hexedited the HTCHome.dll file to point to "fmail.exe" instead of "tmail.exe" and fmail.exe is a vjbrisk pointer to FlexMail. Even hexediting is insufficient as you need to digitally sign the dll file so it can run again. Even then, it will not go to the corresponding folders.
so...... dont even bother w/ threaded text messaging. Because i use that link a lot
maybe a mortscript can change the reaction to the tab? I want to use flexmail too, because poutlook suck so bad. Cannot display half of my email, only thing it display is the subject.

I am looking for a resource to help me with custom theme development.
I would like an XSLT/API for the XML that defines themes -- I have been unable to find anything like this.
I do not know the tags I can use for each plug-in, their attributes or values.
Thanks

If there is no known resource (i couldnt find anything on MSDN for the microsoft plugins) does anyone know how to:
1) Make the Missed Calls plugin label invisible, but still take up the the space on the screen? When i have no missed called the "Missed Calls" plugin collapses to a height of 0px, shifting everything up.
2) How can i set a specific plugin to have focus when going to the main screen - currently the top-most plug-in receives focus by default.
anyone have any ideas on this?
why dont get a homescreen that support it and read....this is the way i learned how to make homescreens.
Anyone know the regedit to remove this and/or know the image file it calls so I can edit it? It's blocking my dog's ears...
I use this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437420 and set the curtain as clear.
Not sure of reg edit tho
hi all, would like to ask if anyone have any experience editing thread_sms.htm other than just to change the size of the sms input box?
I experimented changing the other parameters in the file and it's corresponding css file but none of the changes took effect.
I am aware of the need to remove the system and read only attribute before editing.
Any one has any ideas to share?
if we can edit these 2 files, we might be able to do some minimal skinning for the sms app.
In file thread_sms.htm search the parameter height and set the value = 70 instead of 35 or 30 (not remember the original value). Restart pda and you will have a input text box for tree line text.
For change file you need to copy it in your PC and after recopy to pda, using resco explorer or total command.
erm. i think you misread my question. I know how to change the height of the sms box. I am asking if anyone has experience changing the other values?
Hmm. You tried changing which parameters? If it can be skinned with html, it will be marvellous!!
I've tried many roms and none have any special modifications that I am aware of. It would be cool to have it skinnable
You can customize font colors via the read_style.css stylesheet, and i've also seen someone put a background image in the sms view. It was just generic html code. I don't remember the details, but i saw the thread about it here, on xda-devs.
Try searching the forum for read_sms.html
