[5/4/2008] ichis - "Yet Another iPhone Hybrid Theme" for rlToday

Hello All,
I updated a few lines in my MortScripts, redownload the ichis.zip file and the new files are in the ichis directory, just overwrite the existing files in "\Program Files\rlToday\ichis\"
I wanted to release my rlToday theme. ALL icons are active and info is displayed. Let me know what you think.

To update weather:
a.) Either tap the one of the smaller icons (tomorrow/after tomorrow's forecast) if you are connected to the internet.
b.) Or, tap the big icon (current condition) to update via Google's SMS. once the message is recieved:
- Open the message
- Tap and hold and Select all
- Tap and hold and Copy
Then it will update the Today screen.
The reason I have an SMS option: I don't have a data plan other than when I'm at a WiFi spot. So, its really for me
If any of you get an error message, please post it here and let me know so I can add that icon/weather condition [Un]Fortunately, I live in New Mexico and its always Sunny and Clear, hehe.
AND I'd love feedback. If you use it, modify it, post your screen here!! I'd love to see what you guys come up with too!
Installation:
Inside the attached chis.zip file, you'll find everything you need:
1. Install MortScript 4.1
2. Install rlToday
3. Copy Sys-To-Reg-2.0 directory to \Program Files\
4. Copy cutouts.ttf to \Windows\Fonts\
5. Copy ichis directory to \Program Files\rlToday\
6. Run Sys-to-Reg-Install.mscr and allow it to run at Startup
7. Make ichis the skin in rlToday
8. (OPTIONAL) If you use S2U2 v1.00 or above, set the weather option to UserWeather in S2U2 Settings and copy the contents of the S2U2weather directory to \Program Files\S2U2\gfx\weather\
9. (OPTIONAL) Set the bg-black.bmp as your background with 0% transperancy via the WM Pictures & Videos application
10. (OPTIONAL) If you would like your own background behind the icons, I've included a bg.png file that has the transparency layer preserved and you may place another image behind it of your choice using your favorite image editor (ie. Photoshop) -OR- just make your favorite image your background.
11. SoftReset and Enjoy!
* Note: you may need to edit some of the applications that the skin.xml file launches. you can do so by editing the skin.xml file.
Recommended applications:
S2U2 by A_C
S2P by A_C
Google Maps by Google
Task Manager by DotFred.net
** I have my mail icon launching Gmail, if you don't have this account on your phone, you'll need to edit the gmail.lnk file to launch the appropriate account.
Special thanks to Mirko Schenk for MortScript, Allgemein and emerym at the rlToday forums and for Sys-to-Reg. Although Sys-to-Reg is currently version 3.0, I'm using 2.0 because it does what I need it to

Nice but seems like a lot of steps

Hehe, yea, The whole reason I use Sys-to-Reg is so that when there are no messages/missed calls it doesn't display a nasy "0" and its blank.
And the reason for the update via SMS option is because I dont have a data plan

Update
I updated the instructions a bit. This is my first release, so I'm thinking of things to add to the post as I go

wow!!!!!!
thanks in advance

-thanks chriscsh, because i use his some files.
I'm sorry the first version don't work weather update, but now all work

Nice i'll give it a go.

Cool theme! I have some problems though...
1. The weather icon is too large. It seems to be double the size it should be.
2. Everything seems kind of cramped. Maybe things could be spaced out a slight bit more?
3. Maybe the music icon can show the artwork and controls on the bottom of the screen (and leave everything else still on the screen)?
Besides that, it looks great! Very minimalist.

About wether icons the last time i change icons on more big. Now i make VGA version and maybe new 0.2 being .cab files and could be spaced out a slight bit more. Wait.

New version 0.12. Just the wait!!!
now need make easy .cab files (0.12 and now only for QVGA displeys)

I don't need a CAB, only the theme folder
So that's what that IE icon was for, you were adding it in the next version

New version 0.12

1. This cab will install the following
icon.dll (required for the icons to your windows directory)
Folders with my icons to your start->programs menu
2. The folders that will be installed have been given an ENGLISH name. If you have your default folders in another language, you will end up with your original ones PLUS my own folders.
===================
CUSTOMIZE YOUR FOLDERS
===================
1. Using a file explorer navigate to /windows/start menu/programs
2. Every folder (from my skin, has its own icon.lnk file. You can copy that to any folder you like to give it the same icon
3. Put that mess in a nice organized order!!!

Download from Rapidshare

Thanks, they are cool. looks great with the new rhodium icons.

Thanks
Excellent. These might end up in my ROM, if I can get evrything else working. Seems like nobody wants to share the Rhodium commanager, which is all I need to make more progress. Thumbs up
Here's some I put together. Not quite as nice, but effective.
Same install instuctions as Gianni86's folder icons.

Name : htc programs
Size : 150kb
Info : 3X FASTER than the original program folder
Comparing Video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWlZC_ZPIXA
so now i need your help to change the original programs folder path to this EXE
YOU NEED TO TRY IT
installing: unzip it and copy it anywhere in your diamond and make shortcut to startmenu

Very smooth indeed. Nice one mate.
Got a question though. How do you create a shortcut in the start menu to a program like this that hasn't been installed?

look at this - Link Creator 1.3 ... it should do the job... (if u are using english rom)

Wonderful
Is there the settings.exe?

I think this is the same as something that should already be on your phone. Check in \Windows for a file called folderview.exe (it's on my Fuze and I presume it's in Diamond's as well). I've seen this in the past since the tweak to get 4 columns in the programs directory will not work for this file. What I've done n the past is set this as a soft key to make it quicker to get to.

Renaming this file to folderview.exe and cooking it in the ROM overwriting the existing file wont help?

use resco explorer
1-hold on the file you want to make shortcut for
2-a screen will popup
3-press send/send to startmenu

wow thanks for this! makes such a big difference

Where did you get the background from?

Thanks guys for the solving my shortcut program. It was really bugging me that I didnt have a shortcut to the TomTom 7.9.

WAD2 Help

I've been using WisBar Advance Desktop 2 for a few days now and I like it but I have no clue how to get skins/themes to work with it. Below are the ones I've downloaded but I can't get any of them to work. Any help?
I'm using an AT&T Tilt running WM6 if that helps any.

just copy the extracted file you downloaded
/Program Files/Lakeridge/Wisbar Advance Desktop/Themes
you should have install the WAD in your phone memory not storage care.
then go to settings in your wad and search themes it will find the theme there.
select the theme and its done...
wait for few minutes as some time it takes time to load.

You need to make sure there for your device, if you have a QVGA device then your fine as these themes will work.
Also if it says copy to 'Internal Storage' and yours is 'Storage Card' you need to make a folder on the root of device memory named 'Internal Storage' and vice versa if its the other way round.
Make sure everything is copied per instructions, fonts, images, scripts etc and everything is placed into the correct folder.

ok the problem is
when the person made the theme, the theme has to be associated exactly.
let me explain.
if i create a theme, and all of my images are in specific folders.
if i gave you that theme you would need to have the images in the exact location. as it looks there for them.
your screen shot shows the theme is loaded, however the images arent loading. therefore you need to make certain you have the images in the correct spots.
