you did a great job with this theme... especially the dialer... it has its quirks and bugs i wish i knew how to fix (on the dialer)... and as for the theme, its perfect and very detailed to the t, but is very bulky and slowly responsive on my device. once everything is in memory it is pretty quick, but once you slide to landscape or power the backlight off... the memory will reset itself. (which is a problem with wad) but that isnt your fault wad2 will fix this! i have a lot of memory to spare on my kaiser... and once we get these missing drivers, im sure this theme would be a lot faster, but thats a whole new rant on its own...
but either way, getting back on track, i had to show appreciation to your work and share with this community here. thanks

i believe you extract the theme to /themes/desktop/ and then choose it in theme selector
but make sure you have your wad set to full screen in order for it to display properly...

Wad - wisebar advance?
Seeing the questions you have are all similar I'll answer as one.The main basis for my theme is Wisbar Advance 3 and Wisbar Advance Desktop. If you do not Have or know about these go to http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/download.php and all the relative Information is there.
As for my Theme It is easy to Install Thw Wad just needs to be extracted from the Mobile Vista.rar and the two folders Mobile Vista Portrait and Mobile Vista Landscape placed on your mobile in Themes/Desktop , that is if you have the WAD program. Then just select from Theme Manger.
All the other items are self installing Cab's or Extractable rar's and only need to go into there respective folders ie: Mobile Vista Wmp11 into the folder Windows Media Player etc
I hope this has helped
its wisbar advance desktop theme but its big. U can reduce it to 50 % because most of the background (wallpaper) is in .PNG format and u can change them to JPEG and that will reduce the size and also some .TGA (backgrounds) files are doubled and actually u can use onle one so delete if u find them i have reduced mine to 50% of the total size of this theme !!!

I had no problem with you posting my Dialer on this site, I guess I felt the rest of the Theme should then be here as well.
Yes it's only my second Dialer, Works well for me but then again I undestand all our mobiles are slightly different.
Anyway Tks for all the words and I'm glad you like It.
I haven't really had a chance to mess with any settings or Wisbar products yet, but what's the need for the Wisbar Advance?

If I understand the Question, there are no special needs they can be used on any windows mobile pocket pc pr phone addition. 2003se, mobile5 and mobile6. It's probably better with a newer modile as they usually have more memory.
Thanks for the great theme work. After a few times making the theme FUBAR'd and reloading it, I finally figured out how to customize it! I even added pages and plugins. Once it's finaly setup the way you want it, make sure you copy the theme directories to a safe location, because its a pain to customize in both portrait and then landscape, hours and even days of work can be lost in a snap. Here are some screen shots to give you some ideas:
The blue bar next to the start button is actaully a signal meter, it helps to know if you can make a call or not.
A few more screens:
The last one here is a page of spb today plugins; "Pocket Plus" "Phone Suite" (as a plus tab) and "Time".
Last one, used the included "weather page" and and customized it using "spb weather" today plugin, with some custom logos/text:
I would like to see an update to the dialer if possible, the "talk" button needs redial behavior added, right now it does nothing. If I can learn how to fix it, I'll post it if thats ok. It also needs the more white top raised above the buttons, for a better appearance, in my opinion. Thanks again for all the GREAT work, I know you put alot of time into this!
hi there
first off, i'd like to thank for making such nice appl,
but sorry to my bad understanding, how do i install it...?

PS. Using on AT&T Tilt, WM6 Professional
Sorry another P.S.
Disable any screen savers, especially "Spb Time" if you have it, the screen saver won't apear over this theme, until you try to answer a call, and then it can possibly lock up the phone requiring a reset. Do you really need a screensaver anyway, if its not in use, shut down the screen and save the battery
Hi everybody,
at the end a contribute of mine... Hope you will find interesting.
I finally find out what is needed to change both the Title and the Icon in the main WM6 taskbar. You can see attached my mod with no text and Htc green arrow icon. I'm building up a guided procedue to act if I find you really interested and if moderator finds it legal . For the moment I can only suggest you that you have to modify shellres.192.dll in order to change the Icon (icon numbers 292/293) and shellres.dll.xxxx.mui in order to change the Start text (xxxx is localization code i.e. 0410 for Italy!).
Let me know what do you think about it and then I'll go on with the suggestions!
Cheers!
Guided Procedure:
---------------------------
What you need:
1 ROM Extractor for WM
2 Res Hacker
3 Siggner (attached)
4 Resco Explorer/Total Commander
5 You can change the Start Title editing the shellres.dll.xxxx.mui at the string table resource number 321
6 You can change the Icon editing the shellres.192.dll file at the Icon Resource number 292/293 (Icon must be 21x21)
First of all you have to extract those two files from \Windows folder of your device. Those file are blocked because ROM so you need the freeware ROMExtractor to copy them from \Windows to the internal storage folder. Then you can copy them on your PC hard-drive to manipulate. !!Keep them safe because they are your original ones!!
To edit them you absolutely need the freeware Res Hacker. Open the files with it and edit the resource as you want. Save. Normally ResHacker make an original copy of the file. If not, be sure to keep safe your originals!
When you save your changes, the dlls lose their integrity and you absolutelly must sign them again to let your device accepts as originals.
Use attached Mssigner to act like that.
If txt log says succeded (not the application, you have to check the txt file to verify if it's succeded!) now you are ready to copy those files back to yor \windows on the device. Use Resco Explorer o Total Commander to do that.
Overwrite when you're asked.
Soft Reset...
Is everything all right!!?
When you'll become confortable with the proc you will probably be able to edit a lot more of Windows resource and customize your system!
Let me know your tries, guys!
that is very nice. I haad never liked those letters, however i would like to keep the windows logo.
Nice! Because I use WkTASKchange, the application icons in the taskbar let me know what is running, but they also cover the focused application title. That looks bad. So, I'd like to remove the application title in the taskbar. Without changing the Start icon, if possible. Although it sure is nice to change that as well
how do i change the "start" text? where do i get images (ie ".ico") to replace the original windows icon( preferably a black logo of windows)?
Thanks.

Not connected to the post.. but do you use wktask successfully on your diamond ? I cannot manage to hide a task called demarrage... even with no process i have a process windows near to the start menu...
It can be cool to hide the start menu if it helps to put more things in the task bar

Sorry for the off topic.. Yes, WkTASK Manager works fine. I've excluded manila.exe, repllog.exe and HTCActionScreen.exe, through the Preferences - Excluded tab, for instance. Not familiar with your demarrage process though..
Wonderful. Why don't you tell us exactly how to do it? Would really appreciate it.

Thats a nice idea
Or something like this:
What size does the icon need to have? and does it have to be a .ico or can it be any image?
I hope the most answers are on the first post!
Wait for your replies!
BRICKED!
Well, that didn't go too well!
The first attempt resulted in a bricked phone, I had to hard reset as it wouldn't boot. The second attempt I was a bit more careful but now all my icons appear messed up (in File Explorer folders and files are books and message icons, no start icon at all etc.).
I'm a bit confused by the instructions, firstly, in shellres.192.dll, if I export icon 292 with Res Hacker it is 41x36. If I have a look at Icon Group 4609 it is listed as a 41x41 icon. I know you mentioned it should be 21x21 but this doesn't seem right, I would have expected 32x32!
Anyway, I tried from scratch using a 21x21 icon and it still messes up all my icons. I think I will leave it for now until someone makes an App or Cab file.
I am using SwiftBL v7 ROM by the way
Mmm... Strange...
Since I found out the trick it's my 10/12nd attemp to change icons and texts and everytime it worked fine!!
Anyway, her you are some information (Look the attachment):
- I'm on official rom 1.93.408 ITA (the htc official latest one)
- after a lot of succesfully changes on my device I can absolutely say that icon must be 32x23 16M colors and the right icon is number 292.
I will take some time to understand what's the difference on your ROM...
Let's keep in touch...
isnt there an easy way to change them letters?
I noticed the same issue's as wired69 did.
But in your instructions you say that the icon size has to be 21x21 but later you post and i quote:
- after a lot of succesfully changes on my device I can absolutely say that icon must be 32x23 16M colors and the right icon is number 292.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If so could you please update your instructions.
Do you only have to change icon number 292 or both 292/293? That was a bit confusing to.
Hoping you will help.
P.S. Which certificate do you use for the signing part because the .mui signes just fine but the .dll does not.
You can read HERE how to change your icon.

Indeed my friend!
Bricked, but solved now !
Hello,
when I had two times bricked my diamond after signing and installing new mui file, I found, where the problem was.
I removed "Start" text from menu for better view of WkTask, then I signed file with mssigner. When I copied new mui to windows folder, my diamond became a brick :O The main problem was in missing SDKCert.cab. Because when you are signing with SDK certs edited mui, you have to install SDKCerts.
Now it looks for my needs, screenshot included.
Bye
I could easily give some money if someone could make a program for making the bottom menu bar to hide and pressing like the big round bottom on phone would make it visible again. It would give alot more screen space for alot of programs, like writing sms etc.
It would be really great, I bet alot of people would like it to and also pay for it!
thanks

Great
It would be really good removing it, having more screen space like opera when browsing it goes to fullscreen and pressing on the screen will make the bar's and menues apear again. Something like that would be great for the rest of the phone!
Ok ill give 200sek for the one that fixes this mod!
hiding top and bottom menus! And makes them appear when wanted!
Questions? ask!
you can do that with vjtoggletoday (www.vijay555.com) and a tool for setting registry keys (the guy who has written batterystatus has also written such a tool).
create a lnk file with the desired settings and map it to a key. that should do it. but you only have one key available to map (long end key)
I've seen that toggletoday thingy but i think its for wm5. I've tried installing it but nothing happend.
Thanks thou!
hi guys, I wanted to just remove the bottom bar like u guys and found this software from some site. Dont know where actually.. But it works on my Diamond.
It just removes the bottom bar.
Hope this helps.

Nothing happend with that cab. I did a soft reset but didnt help!
thanks anyway
same here
doesn't work with my touchflo
also tried a softreset
tried to install it with touchflo disabled
and when i enabled it ..... nothing
(also tried the softreset afterwards)
any sugestions ?
reg references ?
(maybe's there's is a way to just remove the black bar (as was done with the curtain remover) and leave the buttons intact ?
(that would be the next best thing for me)
I'd rather hide the menues completly. It would be really nice having a full screen phone. Now it looks more like a pda

vjtoggletoday works also on wm6. make sure it is the alpha2 version.
you can use the attached zip file. put the autorun lnk file into your windows startup folder and configure this utility before soft-reset.
advantage of vjtoggletoday is, you can define how much of the bars' height should disappear.
another app is dcinobar which hides the bottom bar only

I dont know what that apps did to my diamond. Im not setting that on autorun! And the config file how are you suppose to config it? When neither of them starts?
by the way: both apps (i have attached dcinobar to my post above) only hide the bars on the today screen only. the bars do not disappear if you run an app.
if this would help you to some extend, i'll give you a step-by-step instruction for vjtoggle.
dcinobar is easier. just run the tool.
Have you tried them on a diamond? Cause the dcinobar did nothing on my diamond.
And the other program i think i will need a step by step guide
Thanks mate!

dcinobar works definitely on diamond. i am currently using it myself.
as said. both programs only hide the bar on today screen.
dcinobar: just copy the exe file to \windows\startup\. softreset. that's it.
vjtoggle:
copy the vjtoggletodayiialpha.exe to \Program Files\vijay555\
(if you keep the directoryname, you do not need to adjust the lnk files)
copy the vjtoggletodayAutorun.lnk to \Windows\StartUp\
copy the VJ Toggle Config.lnk to \Windows\StartMenu\Programs\
now run the config tool and set the values to 0. the config tool only sets the registry keys which are being used by the file in the startup folder.
alternatively you could do the settings yourself:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Vijay555\VJTodayToggle]
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"SoftKeySize"=dword:00000001
"StartSize"=dword:00000001
"TrayVisible"=dword:00000001
in this case the top and the bottom bar will have the size of 1px (just in case you still want to access them )
soft-reset.
if you do a soft-reset i would recommend to switch the phone off (long press on the button on the very top of your diamond).
if this is not working, you are definitely doing s.th. wrong as it works on my diamond.
post here if you need some more help.
vjtoggle:
copy the vjtoggletodayiialpha.exe to \Program Files\vijay555\
(if you keep the directoryname, you do not need to adjust the lnk files)
copy the vjtoggletodayAutorun.lnk to \Windows\StartUp\
copy the VJ Toggle Config.lnk to \Windows\StartMenu\Programs\
now run the config tool and set the values to 0. the config tool only sets the registry keys which are being used by the file in the startup folder.

I did that, step by step. When i rebooted the htc, i didnt get a top menu at all and not just in today in all windows. And the bottom menu was still there.
And what happends if this will work. Will i get 2 black bars instead of 2 menues or will the screen auto adjust?

the space available for today screen will increase. the today screen is not stretched by the size you gained, you 'll have more space available.
did you try dcinobar?
TF3D Neon Tabs Theme
Still development in progress but so far I have managed to get the actual TF3D tabs to be in a type of "Neon" scheme.
I will be working heavily on this trying to go through all icons in TF3D making them Neon so there will be many updates to follow making this simply perfect.
Feedback more than welcome and opinions probably will be worked in.
Please note, people have confirmed this works on....
-- Touch Pro 2
-- Touch Diamond 2
-- Touch HD
If you do try this on any other phone, please let me know the outcome, I should be able to adapt the files to work on any phone in theory
The Cab file is fully un-installable so if you don't like them, just remove the program in Remove Programs and you're back to normal.

There is no need to extract the file, it's a cab anyway.

The slide part, the button that you hold to move and slide, the "block". Can't think what its called but its the rectangle block that you slide from left to right.
Ahh ok, you mean the slider .
I'm already using Lucarp's transparent slider.
I've attached it, so you can have a look for yourself what it does.

Here's a screenshot of the slider if you don't want to install it

Looks good, I want it to be a bit narrower though I think, not 100% sure yet, haven't made my mind up. Think I'll have a play around and might incorporate it in my icon set.

Updated icons to include people section and also added transparent slider and transparent bottom curtains in so no need for extra installs.

I can do them for the Touch HD too if needed. I just need the manila files uploading somewhere if someones prepared to do it?

Hi there, just want to say it works on my Touch HD Unfortunately I am using a chinese rom (Devilstone v3.7 with TouchFLO 34 2.1.38158.2), so I am not too sure if it will work with other cooked romr, just give it a try I guess~
Here are the screenshots:
This is just the theme itself (with Lucarp78TS.cab)
And this is the transparent both cab (I uninstall Lucarp78TS.cab)
Looks awesome on my TP2. Thanks dude, good job.
I have adapted the HD 18 buttons Action Screen, with Wifi and Bluetooth status indicator, to the Rhodium bluetooth stack.
All credit goes to Wedge666 (thread here), to posters in his thread for customisation and of course to first Action Screen developper (I would quote him if I knew. Anyone knows? Or was it adapted from a HTC application?).
As in the original from Wedge666, you trigger with Manila Home tab right soft key, and you can configure program to make it running in background if you wish (quicker?). You have no confirmation message on shut down or reset.
You get advice about installation and basic customisation explanation in the HD thread.
Thierry
EDIT : on Roms with Action Screen already installed, it may be difficult to completely uninstall this version. And you need to apply the fix here.
Thanks thierry2064,
Will try it.
Greetings from Lille
You are welcome!
I attach here the version I use now, black and white except for the network status indicator, plain black background. Links to Pocket informant, Opera Mobile, Resco Explorer, Tomtom.. but this is easy to change, as explained in the HD thread. I may personalize it later (the favorite people button is a "heart" game card now).

i followed instructions for this by installing mortscript then .net.
nothing showed up on home tab.
the softkeys phone(L) and menu(R) still remain from rom .
im using HTCSense2.5 Landscape|Rhodium_AF|WM65 23529 by ark on my att tilt 2.
so by using total commander i see that it is intalled and the config icon is in start menu and folder in windows.
but how do i make a softkey for this or shortcut or something?
help?
Did you reset ? By the way if you had the cab in the third post (NC for no color), pease do not install, because I forgot some blutooth files... I will upload corrected version later.
help
i soft reset after every step.
action screen works, but i had to find link via total commander.
only action screen config had link in start up menu.
i copied paste action screen link to start up menu via total commander but link was not pretty and i dont know how to change its icon.
also, neither the left or right soft key changed after installation as mentioned in my previous post.
any help is much appreciated.
could it be the rom i am using?
i used the color actionscreen cab
If you feel like to change the registry (take care, if you do some wrong change you could have to hard reset), you can go to HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila
then change HomeRSKPath to \Windows\ActionScreen\LauchAction.exe and HomeRSKText to Action. Afetr reset you should see "Action" on the right low corner of the Home tab of Manila. If it does not work I do not know, maybe you shopuld ask on your Rom thread...
thanks
thanks for your advice.
doing regedit is alil beyond me bcuz i am new to this.
i still appreciate your effort.
Here is the version I use now. I added text, and warnings for Power Off and Reset. Customized to my needs, you have to see explanations in the HD thread to customize it to yours.
Here is a customization tutorial : http://www.techparaiso.com/customiz...how-to-assign-it-as-power-button-application/
I do not use Photoshop, the freeware Paint.net does the basic work. The icons could be nicer, if you make or find some nice icons, please share the background and the icons so that we can use it!
Can you please work on setting the action screen to the power button of TP2 instead? thank you for your great work...

Actually I configure the Home button to launch Action Screen, with this excellent application : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240
You can do the same wih Power Button long press.

Sorry about this, but I uninstalled a number of times with no problem, just with Settings / System /Remove Programs... Did you try a reset ?
Close HTCActionScreen.exe manually.

Hi charlieb620
You need to close the Action Screen process manually using a task manager like dotfred's or schap's. You're looking for HTCActionScreen.exe.

tried a reset and it wont let me uninstall
when i try to overwrite or uninstall i get this message. i dont want to hard reset but i think i might. cause now my phone freezes when i go to my action screen. and yes i have mortscript and sdk installed. i cant do anything. i get that message. when i kill process i go back to try to uninstall and will just stay there iin programs list
I am wondering if it is not a problem with another version of action screen installed on the Energy ROM. Can you see another one in "remove program" ? Maybe this 18 button action screen is not compatible with the Energy Rom (I have a stock Rom).
Rename the extension

Hi charlieb620
Try using Total Commander to rename the extension of HTCActionScreen.exe to .ext or something like that. If it let's you, restart the device and you should be in business.
