Need help creating a skin (WAD2) - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hello,
I am trying to make my first theme, and need some help
I am trying to base it off these two screenshots:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have got the main page done pretty well, but not the top bar. Can anyone help me with the icons? Also, is there a font that would look more like the one in the screenshot?
On the second page, I am just stuck... I was thinking about making each little icon in a dock, and selecting it would make it open the dock_selected, with the selected icon in it, and then making all the rest smaller (that is sort of what I did for the main page).
Thanks!

Font looks like Arial, but I suggest Segoe. Icons should be easy to do.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421944 , u may find that helpful

Is there a way to use Segoe font in WAD2? That isn't an option.
(I'm using WAD2 because it seems to be the easiest to make a complete "shell" in, and to customize)
And I'm AWFUL at making icons. I have no idea what I am doing with them

[REQ] Weather App Font Size correction

Hi guys,
Been reading for days on the forums to mod the stock ROM on my Vz TP2 and and I'm very appreciative for all your efforts.
I've learned how to mod the font on my TF3D tabs....
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
but I've run across the issue that everyone seems to hit after this change. The current temp is too large to be displayed.
I've tried everything I could find in my search and haven't found anything that works to change the font size, nor SHOWACO's fixed manila file (in fact, that one locked up my TF3D).
Can anyone point me in the right direction for a tutorial, so I can learn how to do this kind of mod myself? I'm no programmer like most of you, but, I'm not a light weight either and I'm very willing to learn.
My next step in learning is how to change the flip clock font to match, I'm using Berlin Sand FB if you are curious.
Thanks

How to remove slider tab???

I've been up half the night and most of the morning searching for a cab to remove slider tab for sense 2.5. I finally found transparent icons that match my theme from a collection of great developers. Is there a cab to remove or make the actual slider itsef fully transparent with no outline or just remove it?? is it possibe for someone with photo shop to edit the file and make it completely blank and put it in a cab?? I know dinik has a cab for just the slider box, is it possible to take a file like that and just have a blank image??
Thanks Hell
Want to remove the box frame
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",

}
If you don't want to see the slider, just disable Sense!!
Have a look in this thread. It might take a few cabs, but it might get the job done for you.

[Q] Modify default theme on HD2 Android

Hey Guys,
I'm trying to modify a HD2 Android them.
the default theme is based on HTC Desire, and which my favorite theme is MDJ Next Sense 2.7 theme.
I tried to modify these 2 APKs
com.htc.resources.apk *modified some png in ./res/drawable-port-hdpi and ./res/drawable-hdpi
framework-res.apk * completely replaced.
And after the modification, you can see that really not perfect,
You can see that still a round shape under the navbar to show the pages like default theme, and the tab show the pages moves around the round shape.
What I want is:
1, remove the round shape
2, mold the tab straight, not around the round shape.
Which files should I modified? Thanks advance for seeing through this thread no matter you can help or not, you studied my questions already.

i like that clock...even tho it took me a while to read. no suggestions...maybe make the other icons fit the cubes? i dunno. different colours too. just personal pref tho.
Good work
Took me a while to see the numbers in the clock but once adjusted to it they were very clear. I would be happy with that.
Bottom looks too busy for me, maybe with a simpler background?
Love the deep slider bar!
Some people find it very difficult to see these numbers :-D
Some color and clock changes
download in 1st post
looking pretty cool with this numbers.
Thanks a lot. It looks so good ! :good:

How to change icon position in status bar (AOSP ROM)

Hi,
Is it possible to change position of status bar icons (signal, battery etc.) by editing xml files? I'm making custom theme for personal use and next screenshoot will tell you exactly what I want:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(direct link http://i.imgur.com/yX0Gx.jpg)
I want to squeeze those icons a little bit since I've made them smaller (grey box is actual .png size so you can see wasted space in between).
I've found several theming guides but none of them explains how to manage icon position in status bar. Any advice? ROM is Oxygen (AOSP).
Nobody, really? Should I cook ROM from scratch?
