[THE]Brins0net_Droplets_Theme

I have made a new theme for my new HTC Diamond, as the one I made for my artemis no longer looked right, as the image was stretched. So I have re-made it and decided to release it into the community, as there are so few VGA themes which look nice on the HTC Diamond
- It's both VGA and QVGA ready, as well as Landscape/Portrait ready
- There's a nice glassy/ripple effect on the start menu
- All of the system colours have been adjusted to suit
- Looks great in WM2003/WM5/WM6/WM6.1
- Really suite the HTC Diamond's looks
Download and more information HERE
If you want to link to this, please don't link to the executable file, but to the project page instead.
Please tell me what you think of my theme, I may make more in the same fashion if you all like it...

why have you disabled the tf3d.

Not everyone likes TF3D, I eventually got annoyed with it because the home page doesn't show tasks at all and seems buggy when it comes to displaying calendar entries. I've got nothing against TF3D, but at the end of the day I need a home screen that shows the necessities and anything that doesn't meet that basic requirement, no matter how pretty it is, is useless.

Use SecondToday !!!
However... can you make a theme with black glossy 3D Bars, like the grey you've posted?

1: I've not actually disabled TouchFlo 3D, as that image was captured from the Windows Mobile Device Emulator, as you can see in the screenshot, so it's not running an HTC rom with TouchFlo 3D in it.
2: I have not only disabled TouchFlo 3D on my actual Diamond, I have flashed a new rom to it without the blasted thing even installed, as I find it an irritating waste of RAM and ROM. There are things i'd much rather use my system RAM for than some pretty interface. As the guy above has stated, it is lacking in several key areas, and is such quite useless for more advanced users such as myself.

I don't quite understand what you mean here... Do you want me to make a theme with the same background, but with the upper and lower bars in gloss black?

[THE] Custom Manila 2.1 Slider Set

I created these as I wanted something a bit more stylish and based on physical items such as OSX icons, etc..
Please feel free to try these out. I have included both the manila files in a zip and a cab installer. If you don't care for the icons, then simply uninstall "Ceger Slider".
Feed back would be appreciated.
Ceger

Could someone give me a link to find out how to have manila 2.1 or higher on my Diamond, please? there would be very kind! I know this is not the best place to ask this but, after many searches, I found nothing.Thanks in advance

Hi! Thank you for the icons, man, they are awesome!
One thing that I notice is that they seem small and a little dark (I was using the colorful TF3D 2.5 original icons before... so maybe it´s just that).
I love the design though, and I´m keeping them for a while. Thanks again for the work and for sharing.

Thank you. I guess going from the high color cartoony ones, it does come across a little darker. However, I had gone from another set of OSX icons to my own and didn't notice.

Possible to change just clock appearance?

Hi there,
since all the great tweakers seem to take shelter in this forum, I'd like to post my concern right here.
Actually I come from a german Leo-Forum, but there are so many links to the xda-guys, that I'm sure I'm better off here.
It's about the clock of the native homescreen. I'd like it to be darker, meaning that the sheets should be of a very dark grey for instance. Would it be possible to make a cab, that changes only the clock, leaving everything else as it is? I'm not much of an it-expert, so please excuse me, if this question is kinda silly.
Thanks so far!

I second this. Would like to add other clock options (analogue/digital/formfactor)

Don't we all?
I hate the standard HTC flip-style clock and I found nice ones for my HTC Touch HD, but not for the HTC HD2 (Leo).
So, I support this too!

[REQUEST] HTC HD Mini bottom/top bar

Hi,
I have a ROM with Windows Mobile 6.5.5, and it has a smaller topbar (With time in it and stuff like that) and a bigger bottom bar then the older version of Windows Mobile.
It's almost like the one of HTC HD Mini, but it does not have the glass effect, behind the softkeys, its just black.
Is there any way to get a glass effect exacly the same as in HTC HD Mini for the bottom and top bar?
I have seen it already in other ROM's, so I think there must be a cab/theme for it aswell, but I can't find it anywhere.
Or maybe someone could make a cab?
Much thanks in advance!
Greetz,
Joshoon

You need to find a theme that matches what you are looking for.
Maybe Dusk Themes?
Also get's rid of stock windows wait cursor and replaces with a Black scolling bar.

Black and White Metal 2.5 2013

See if you like it. It is White Metal 2.5 2013 for a 6.5 build. Tell me what you think.
Also including a different contact icon if you want it. Not necessarry but a different style in case you do not like the contact tab with the human outline.
I am running mighty rom Windows 6.5 with Manila 2.5.2013
I was not happy with the centering of the Calendar date on the tray icon-so I included a cab with the fix.
Facebook Tab. You must already have the tab in order to use this. I installed it from Meltwaters and then alterred his manila for tabs

lubbad85, you are my hero! I have been looking for this everywhere. I don't know why but for some reason I've liked this style of slider ever since I've seen it on another carrier's phone.
I installed it asap and I like how it works! It works like a charm, I love it. Great job lubbad85, you rock! The only thing I would probably do is just better the screen icons when you change to a different tab on the slider. Those stock white ones will do but I would just see if I could replace them with any other better icons. Just my personal opinion. Other than that, you created a beautiful slider!
Quick question, I'm running C0okie's Home Tab. How does that extra notification bar appear? (The one on top of the actual sider)

In the options for cookies home tab you can put the extra notification bar. I think under miscelaneous The bar is a bit redundant though.
Glad you like the slider. Give me an example of what kind of slider you really want. If you give me a direction I can build one. Manila is very forgiving. If you screw it up you have only to delete the manila file that you put into windows and the phone's ROM will build it back the way it was before the new manila was used.

I've been looking around in C0okie's Home Tab for the past 40 minutes and I believe I've gone through the whole editor twice and I still cannot find the setting which enables the extra notification bar. I feel like a noob or just looking for something that isn't there. I'm running v1.8.5.

I got it! Thank, yet again! As far as the slider goes, it works like a charm! I really don't have any other suggestions for it as of right now. Maybe later as time goes by and I think of something. But if you implement any improvements or make any changes to it please post it up, I will gladly test it out. Thank again!

lubbad85, I found a small little defect that you might consider. When I slide to a desired tab on my touch flo, I find that the tab icon I chose has a blurry icon. It looks like as if there is another lighter icon behind the primary icon. It's just a little annoying and tends to cross my eyes after a while. lol. Check it out in the attachment to understand what I'm talking about.

Nice work bro! Would you consider adding icons for Facebook and Call History tabs please?

I found this slider skin very pretty and charming! Is it OK to cook this skin into rom? I'm developing roms for myself, but somehow the xda community convinced me to upload them to public xD

I like that idea. I have been running a Mighty Rom. But I will try yours when you get done cooking.

My ROMs won't be updated before August if someone doesn't find some critical bugs
This slider really fits the "old" Sense 2.5 skin, however it has got some images that could be a bit more polished... Ach, and some icons could be a little re-sized, because they aren't this same size. Anyway overall the experience is great! So keep up this wonderful work, first time that I like something that isn't made by ShowTime7.

right.

Hi there, I downloaded and installed the theme, but I dont know how to change the theme, i hate to ask but how exactly do I apply the theme? I tried Star->Settings->Today, but the theme is not on the list of available themes.
Thanks for your patience, I've only had the phone for a week or so.

You're going to run the .cab file from your storage card and install it onto your device when prompted to. Immediately after the slider is installed it is going to ask you to restart so the changes can take effect. You hit "yes" or "ok" (Not sure which option it gives you) Then, once the device restarts and turns on, the slider will appear and should be already installed automatically. You shouldn't have to do any other additional setting changes after you restart so the slider takes effect.

Hmm I installed all 3 cabs and it just told me "white metal 2.5 2013.cab was successfully installed on your device" (same thing with the other 2) but it didn't prompt me if I wanted to restart the device.
Any ideas why? this blue at&t theme is ok but this B&W Metal theme looks amazing.
Thanks

turn off sense

Or install the cabs and then soft reset

Hello again lubbad85!
Could you do me a little favor and add a facebook icon too? The meltwaters work is really impressive!

Just the sense tab

You just want the sense tab-in other words you already installed the other files neccessary for the tab? So just the tab icons?
If so here is the cab for just the tab sense icons in white to match the set. I cannot test it since I have not installed the control files for this tab.
