Is it possible to mod the fish panel? I'd like to change the background color (the white is too bright for me) and if possible maybe change the clock as well.
UP!
There isn't a metode to change something????
This panel is the best for me!! Let's pump it
Yeah!
we should be able to customize it, or at least make it like the growing panel (changes with day time). but still giving us complete control over it would be best. we should be able to change the background color to any solid color, have a default color of the sea with the effects of a real one (water moving and all that) and adjust its depth in water (brightness), plus the clock, and adding smaller fish and plants.
NOW THAT WOULD BE COOL!
i second that, would be really cool if we could change the fish and make it so that it grows by itself (when youre in a different panel) and the fish age and die and have kids and you can change the colour they change to when you get a message and stuff or their names
without the source-code just changing the background colour would take a long time
reverse engineering
and sonyE is not much for opensource it seems
So it's impossible to do.. sh*t..
imho then it would prob be easier / faster to make a new fish panel from
scratch
of cause panels are written in pure c++ win32 so the development
is a bit more steap then if it was .net but if it was .net it would perform poorly
as is the curse of .net compact framework

Is it possible to make a full theme change for windows mobile 6? I mean not like Wisbar Apps or any other type that is similar to it. I mean changing the colors, backgrounds of the phone and any other winmo6 embedded software.
Here is an example of want i want it to do. lets say that you are changing the theme of your winmo6 to blue but you want to keep the same look and feel to it with out install a cab to change the phone the blue color in stead when you change the color to blue it will change everything on your device blue too.
thanks
Its already been done. Search on here for Shantz changer.

it does not change the phone color just the today screen
There's two applications I know of - both change various aspects of your colour schemes; one is "RC Mod" (get it here) and the other is called "UI Tweaker" (from here).
Have a look, see what you think

first link is uesless, it's in italian for the most part. And UI Tweaker just changes colors, not the dial pad.
Unless someone comes out with an app that lauches the color changes as well as a cab install for the phone dialer, there isn't a current app to do this. This is one of the drawbacks I have hate about WM. It was never designed to do whole system color coding, you can change the theme which does change system colors, but there is still a lot of white coloring thru out the OS and the dial pads, keyboards, etc never change color with the theme.

I must have misunderstoof the first post incorrectly then, but I didn't see the OP ask about changing the dialer.....all of the colours on the dialer are images anyway, so it makes no difference what colour the rest of the UI gets changed to...
The first link is useless coz the attached images are dead links and the post is mostly in Italian because the author is, like, Italian....you obviously stopped reading after the first couple of words
I agree that WM 6.0 lacks any decent "UI tweaking" capabilities - hopefully MS will address that deficiency in 6.1, or 7.0, or 8.0, or........maybe not

Since the dialer, theme and everything else is controlled by images and registry edits I believe you just have to delve in with Mortscript and learn how to script it yourself. Mortscript will then batch process it in the same way you can do it yourself manually. But once you do it'll be pretty sweet. You can have a iPhone script, a Touch script, etc. for one click overall theme change. Its just getting familiarized with Mortscript and digging into dialpad CABs to see what registry/files need to be modified/copied. Heck if you are going that route you might as well see if its possible to manually copy over some of the welcome screens as well. =P
Just curious, do you honestly switch your entire phone theme that often? And need the phone pad/dialer to be changed as well? Have you even tried installing a dialpad CAB, then another one on top of it, then another one on top of that one...just to see if it creates any corruption?
Shantz is great cause it does exactly what it needs to do on changing the theme or background and he even has an option to allow you to run an external program (mortscript) so that it can copy the background onto other programs such as S2U2 and WAD (and in the future...possibly PointUI Home background).
So if you are willing to give up on the idea of installing a dialpad CAB (perhaps install a neutral gray or black one), the task will be a lot easier with Shantz and a little bit of Mortscript coding.

This software is not to change colors, but it has a theme modifier feature that changes the color of that ugly scroll bar on right today screen, and the default buttons etc. Very fun! There is a trial version on website.
TEST IT
Have a look at this program:
http://www.codeppc.com/telechargements/themegence/themegence.htm
it can create new themes or modify an existing one (you can copy the existing one from your windows directory)....
Hello.
I've been browsing through the forums for a while now and even been going through some themes to figure out how the diamond handles the backgrounds in other then the Today (or maybe its called home?) Anyhow what i fear is that it isnt possible to set your own backgrounds in the other windows such as whole background pictures other then small meshes which is then handled by the diamond to paint the background..?
Is this the way it works or are there a way to set your own costum, whole backgrounds not just some meshes which it handles itself, into themes or some other way?
//Zorgin
Its not possible yet but who knows what the future holds
im hoping this will be enabled in tf3d 2.
yeah i was hoping to find an answer as well, the only thing i could come up with was the manilla editor and using that to manually change the backgrounds, but its very cumbersome to do...
hopefully some people can figure out an easier way to do this! it would be awesome.
like seriously, this display friggen rocks, you could have the ****tiest picture as ur wallpaper, but the screen clarity makes it look so nice lol
i love just waking up my phone and looking at the homescreen!
We have a Diamond Background Changer which changes wallpaper according to time of the day. Would it be great also if we also have a wallpaper changer that can changes background according to battery life remaining?
Probably we can also 'remove' the battery indicator at the top taskbar (freeing up space for a cleaner look) if such an app is possible.
* Just a suggestion. I do not have any programming knowledge hence i don't know if this is even possible.
Thank you
Would you really install it and use it?
sure its, even quite "easy" to do, just adapt the mortscript from the daylight background changer, to take the batterystatus as input instead of the time...
i remember i saw some commands in the mortscript manual whic make it possible to read out battery status...
but on the other hand, why would you want it? you already have a battery indicator right on top of all things....
having a changing background to indicate status doesnt seem logical to me...
Well Ithink it would be very handy if the background would slowly change from green to red using backgrounds in according colours...
i think it's a great idea.
of course i would use it, haha. I have to admit that i'm an app / rom junkie.
Anyway i was thinking if it would be great to remove the whole top and bottom taskbars for a totally 'windowmobileless' look. BUt to do that we need something to replace the battery/ network/ connection/ sound indicators.
The Quickstart menu shouldn't be a problem as i have high hopes for 'touchlaunch'
I actually think this is not a bad idea at all. If you look at some of the colour battery icons, this kind of makes sense. The moment your phone is activated for whatever reason, you can immediately see that status of the battery, without having to look at the (rather small) icon on the taskbar
Hence.. Hello to developers.. any takers?
Great idea, I would use it too! We could add a corresponding battery symbol on each wallpaper, like in S2U2 but smaller
Cool idea, I think also if the wallpaper could change based on the weather that would be really cool.
Hey, I was wonderin if there is a way to change the colour of the top and bottom windows bars (the ones with the soft keys and battery, signal & start) i would really like to make them transparent if it's possible.
I know with the older versions of WM it was possible to play around with these using theme makers but it was pretty much to change the colour not make em see through.
So if anyone knows how or is upto the task of doing it or even telling me how to do it id be a very happy chappy!
Thanks
you can change the colours just by changing the theme in the today option in settings, and theres some cabs floating about to make them "glossy black" like the basic theme in vista! i dont think is possible to make them transparant tho
I looked at changin the colours but because i use the Background changer none of them really matched the pic i was using,
Oh well with any luck some bright spark will figure it out sooner or later!
Thanks for the imput
i tend to find the themes just change the top and bottom bars.is there a way to change the white background when you access the windows mobile part of the device?
I guess this is not possible then? Everyone must be content with the plain dull White windows mobile b/g?..MODS can you transfer this article over to the themes and apps please might get some hope over there
I doubt most of us delve into WinMo enough to care.
Not only that, would you be able to read the text with a darker colour or pattern?
Thanks, Possibly most users aint interested but it's really bugging me. If only i could change it because it looks so bland!
short version: try "ui tweaker" (lets you adjust windows theme related colors, look, and feel)
long version: there are some TSK files available that give the effect you desire. however most of these work well with WM6.1 and earlier. same goes for "ui tweaker", but these same approaches don't work well with WM6.5 and later. this is largely because WM6.5 has newer, different, bigger GUI control elements.
if you choose the ui tweaker approach, rp-x1 is correct because you would indeed have to play with a whole bunch of colors on a whole bunch of GUI elements before you'll be able to get the contrast right.
hey thanks man, it sounds difficult but il give it a go..have you tried it yourself?
i have used ui tweaker many times to change the selection highlight colors and what not when i was using WM6.1 ROMs on my kaiser. i even once tried exactly what you are looking for
i found the WM6.5 themes to be a much more improved bunch, so never felt the need to customize them further, though i wouldn't mind a white-on-black theme some time, like a "negative" of the GTX themes, that would be stellar!
i tried uitweaker but it doesnt give the option to change the white background!! i tried another app called settings+ that didnt also -but they are quite handy to tweak windows side of things
forgot to add..the white background remains but i managed to add some colour to tabs at the bottom and every box is highlighted i've also changed the font it makes a massive difference to me thanks
!! the white background is no more!!! haha i've managed to change it with uitweaker...thanks again
