try using total commander or resco explorer to see hidden files/rom files.
still no luck. I downloaded resco explorer(which is awesome!) but I still cant find it. any more ideas from all you gurus out there?? It is an alltel touch not a sprint vogue if that makes any difference. thx guys!

Make sure you have Resco set to show all files. welcomehead.96.png is the file your looking for, on all devices I believe.
If you still can't find it, use a photo viewer, like S2V, and load the windows directory. Then you can browse through and find it visually.
you guys were right it was hidden. I just didnt see the option to show hidden files. but now it says this is a ROM file and cant be changed or deleted. is there anything I can do?
drop the new file (of the same name) in the windows dir. when it asks to overwrite, hit yes. that should work with resco. another [more complicated and dangerous] way is to unlock the extended rom.
hey it finally worked! Thanks for all the help guys. It looks great!
What did you replace it with? post the picture i want to see it, haha
sorry Ref cant get the screenshot to post from my phone, ill try to after while from my home computer. but if you wanna see it go search for [email protected]$, hes got all kindsa cool skins and images posted. He does really good work
Heres the screenshot of [email protected]$ splash screen

I made a flashy Vista splash screen for the PPC startup. You only see it for a few seconds but I think it's a lot better than the stock one.
I have also included the original in case someone decides to try this and go back, and for comparison purposes.
To install: simply move the file named "welcomehead.96.png" into your Windows directory. You will see the splash when you soft reset!
This splash supports both portrait and landscape views.
This does not work for my Wizard.
I think it has to be 320x240. When I use your picture it shows up like a square..
Strange, it works on mine. The reason that I don't have it set to 240x320 is that (like the stock WM5 splash) the phone should know whether you're using portrait or landscape, and clip the picture accordingly.
It may have something to do with your ROM, I dunno. You can always crop it too.
I see this thread's getting a lot of views. If it doesn't work for anyone else, please let me know and I will look into it.

It also alowed me to replace the HTC logo for my own logo by replacing the HTCABOUTLOGO.bmp file in the windows directory
Now if i could only get rid of the i-mate screen, my start up screens would all look great...
and if it that doesn't work
convert the pic into a .png file and
just rename the picture welcomehead.69
copy and paste into your Windows folder on your Wizard

That's pretty sweet, I thought I was being original too.
I like what the artist did, but I prefer not to have things say "Windows Vista," or whatever, unless I'm actually running Windows Vista. I just can't bear to lie to myself like that
edit: and thanks to everyone for their praise! I'm glad it's working out for you.
thanks for the splash screen.
i found i needed total commander to copy it over.

Version 2. I wanted to make it look a little less "busy" so I gave it more of a see-through effect and each button is very slightly different, fitting in with a complete screen image, if you see what I mean.
Also matched the ROM colour better.
B/W version added as an alternative
Unzip files and copy to /Windows using TotalCommander or something similar.
As usual, every button you press on your PDA is at your own risk ;-)
Hope you like them

have you already installed HTC ActionScreen?

Hey DaVince - where did you get those HTC Home icons from? They look great!
which launcher is that below the htc home plugin? I'm currently using claunch, but that one looks good.
Plugins shown in order:
1. HTC Home
2. Quick Launcher
3. Windows Mobile 6.1 Getting Started
4. Device Owner
It's the WM 6.1 ROM for the Touch Dual by tom_codon. Once officially released, I'm sure somebody will extract them and post it here.
Good Work....
Tks for sharing!!!
Thanks for sharing
U the man. I copied all AS files excepts for the AS_Bkgd_1.brn file and found a very nice result. Your new graphic on top of the old one. Very nice. Tried it.
Thanks again.
what am I doing wrong? I installed the app, copied files to windows and still showing the old skin.
Black?

Please, it is possible to create black version of this awesome graphics? I am lame for this graphical stuff
I'll see if I have time
See first post for b/w version
also.. anyone have a better icon for Action Screen app?
The default is only that boring white square
To replace the icon
I think you have to use a Resource Editor.
Correct me if I'm wrong somebody?

I was wondering this exact thing the other day!
edit the .lnk file to have this:
48#"\Windows\HTCActionScreen.exe"?<Path of icon or DLL>,<index of that icon>
Go to http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5154243&messageID=9583160 for more details. They talk about it in the last 2 or 3 posts.
@davehutch - I love the Action Screen graphic. I'm using it and pumped!
Nice graphics. Thanks a lot

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.

the hooneycomb menu was lost on the last 4 public 6.5 builds, so i took the time on bringing the back.

Does the icons back to normal size or they are big into the hexagons, i would like to bring back the windows or start menu animation.

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?

I'm sorry , i try to explain... I know that there are two files that are the responsable of the making visible of the exagons, the ones i called with the cpf extension (but they aren't cpf, i don't remember the extension).
Those files have to be put in the windows folder with the corrisponding png files... right?
I was looking for those files.
thanks

install my cab and go into your windows folder and look for StartMenu_GridScene_240x320.cpr and StartMenu_GridScene_320x240.cpr.
Thanks a lot, I was in need of this.
UPDATE: These files are a part of my ROM, which came with my phone and it looks like simply copying the files over will not work. Maybe someone can try to figure out how to make it work on any device. Until then it looks like this is pretty useless.
My phone came with a built in iPhone-like Slide2Shutdown application. I did not develop the program, but I thought it was pretty cool so I figured I'd share it.
All of the files were located in my Windows directory, but I'm not sure if it's necessary for them to be located there. All you'll need to do is put a link in the Windows directory called Long_Power.lnk that points to wherever you put Shutdown.exe. I don't know how to make CAB files so if someone wants to do that, send it to me and I'll repost with the CAB.
You can probably reskin it using the png and ini files, but I'm not the developer of the program so I don't know anything about that.
Enjoy,

I tried copying it from my zip file and it did the same thing to me when I ran it. Looks like it may not work for some reason. Maybe someone could modify it to work correctly.

I know JMZ made an awesome lockscreen changer (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523812) but it isn't playing nice with my setup and keeps crashing so after trying it long enough, I've given up on the app.
Can someone tell me how to manually change the lockscreen image? Where do I place my image/name it and what resolution, etc should it be? Thanks.
go to Start>Settings>Today. at the bottom. place a check inside the box. andmap the background you want to use.

The Program he used makes the cab makes the image a manila file. I would suggest ask the OP for the original image.

Alternative method
Hi all
An alternative method is to create an image file you want to use for your today and lock screen background. The format is .jpg. The portrait should be named:
stwater_480_800.jpg
and the Landscape named:
stwater_800_480.jpg
Copy these to a convenient folder on your device, e.g. My Documents. Then, using a more powerful file manager, e.g Total Commander, copy them to your \Windows folder, overwriting if prompted.
Cheers

Home Screen/Lock Screen Merge?
Hi Guys,
Does anyone know if you can set the home background image (in TF3D2) and the image for the lockscreen simultaneously? In other words, can you update both images at once (preferably by selecting it from the "Settings" tab in TF3D2)? Is there a .CAB of some sort? ANY help would be appreciated. ANY help at all!
Thanks a bunch!
