NEW black glossy HTC Home

Hey guys, I got bored with the same old looking HTC Home today plugin on my device so I decided to fiddle around a little bit with the .png's and this is what I came up with. If you like the look just unzip the folder attached and put the file into your HTC home folder and replace the old file with it. You might want to back up the old file in case you want to switch back to it sometime.
THIS IS NOT A NEW INSTALL OF HTC HOME, IT IS MORE OR LESS JUST A SKIN FOR IT. YOU MUST ALREADY HAVE HTC HOME TODAY PLUGIN INSTALLED TO USE IT.
enjoy.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but where is the HTC Home folder?

not a stupid question, it should be in the main device folder where your windows, temp, and program files folders are located

Weird, it's not there - shame, your mod looks really nice.

hmm, you probably have a rom wth the HTC home plugin written into it. You could try just putting the file into your windows folder and see if it asks if you want to replace the file with the new one, see if that works!

It's also possible that you have the HTC Home plug-in for WM6, which installs to \HTCHome by default..

Found the file location - spencepu3 was right, the files on my phone (DopodD810/Trinity/WM6) were installed right into the Windows directory.
The 'skin' looks really nice spencepu3 - I suspect you may have started a trend now!

it seems that you guys haven't used emunutz's HTC Home Customizer (version 1.0b5 right now). pretty complete customization of the plugin, including clock font, clock color, skin, icon packages, weather icons, etc.
thanks for the skin though, it's nice to look at.

I have used emunutz's program but as you can see there are no background skins that look like mine, I happen to like the look of mine over the skins in his package

Hey spencepu3,
Nice black skin, my favourite. have downloaded and added to the emunutz's HHC. Now I have another choice. Thanks!

Hello,
I Like that Glossy Style, but for me it is a little bit to glossy. Can you make the glossy part more black and less white, like the top and buttom bar?
Thanks

sure, when I get some free time, maybe tomorrow, I will make a seperate one a little darker for you. However, why would you want it any darker, especially with your black background the bars will barely be seen, this way they stand out more which I like, but if thats what you want I can make it, it shouldnt take long

Oh what a quick reply!
Black is beautiful > I think so.
Thanks for your work, I will look forward to it.
Cheers & regards

@anja31: What is the bar with the 4 buttons over the softkeys? Looking for that for a while now, so I can hide the softkeys^^

[THE] TF3D Beta7/Vista Theme for manila

So after a week of almost giving up every other day I finished (as far as im going to take it ) this theme.
Before I post pics...
Thanks to all Mods and senior members for all Cust and help. Specifically:
NisseDILLIGAF - in general, also used NoTopCurtain, and black font files in theme
Giannis86 - for Landscape Icons
sushilange - for Manila editor.
Okay here it is.... Beta 7 theme. Zip includes PNG files but just copy MANILA files into windows folder.
note: Background is kind of bright and doesn't work well with all tabs. But I dont use all tabs so it suites me. and i just got quick cab but still dont really know how to use it.
enjoy.

Also Beta Dialer!
I also made a dailer to kinda match. dont like stock dailer and the black Dailer is hard to read in sunlight.
So I made this dailer with big Numbers and contrasted them against theme. Added little accents to other dailer files.
Cause, you know its the little things.
Instructions: just copy image files from zip into windows folder on device.
BETA DAILER.

Good Work
Very good work mate wont be using it as i just got my TF3d looking sweet but urs could be a contender on my next flash
Downloaded and saved

thank,download

Nice, many thanks.

This is a quality theme! many thanx ive been looking for a decent windows theme, only 2 issues with it tho, the numbers on the clock dnt sit on the flip thing proply (witch is easly solved) and that gr8 dialer skin dosent work with slide to answer, witch is a shame!! apart from that its pure quality

Slider Upgrade
Thank You and sorry about the wait. But here you go..
Sorry no screen shots only file copies. I have CDMA TouchPro.
Added all files to zip just extract and enjoy!

[THE] S2U2 1.4x & 1.5x Diamond Theme (Mar 01, 09)

I thought maybe someone might be interested in HTC Diamond theme for S2U2 so I made my own. It's not perfect and the clock is not mine, but I've made there a couple of changes - used original TouchFLO 3D icons, used original WM 6.1 icons for statusbar, made all new slider (matching the HTC Touch style), fixed and cleaned the background (found here on XDA). All info is in enclosed ZIP file.
Enjoy.
EDIT (March, 1st): Screenshots slightly out of date.
LATEST VERSION 1.5x: Initial release (March, 1st)
LATEST VERSION 1.4x: V04 (February, 8th)​
Version history 1.5x:
Initial release
All files updated in order to comply with 1.50 version
Included original S2U2 1.50 Diamond style as well as my Diamond Glass style
Version history 1.4x:
V04
Updated "redcircle.png" by original TouchFLO 3D images
Updated "system.png" by original HTC and Windows Mobile icons (alarm icon from TouchFLO 3D, WiFi nad BT icon from HTC WM)
Removed black background from "system.png" in order to make it compatible with light wallpapers = no more black rectangles
Added landscape "manila" wallpaper
V03
Corrected some "manila" clock files
Deleted screenshots from the pack
Added two new wallpapers
Added "glass" version of wallpaper and clock
Updated "readme.txt" in both Czech and English
V02
Cleaned the wallpaperb.jpg
Intial release
Known limitations of the skin/S2U2:
(red = 1.4x, blue = 1.5x, black = both)
I haven't designed the skin for neither S2P nor call answering. The skin was designed to look exactly like on the pictures I've enclosed.
The clock format must be set to "HH:MM" (01:30 format), otherwise the clock will be bad-positioned.
You can't use the "show large battery" function because it would mean there are no flips under the clock (the flips are parts of the wallpaper - just have look at the templates).
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND TO UPDATE TO THE LATEST 1.5X VERSION SERIES.​

Very nice work, i know some released a similar version earlier but this looks like it fits in with TF3D alot more. Thanks!

Nice work, thanx
Diky, rad vyzkousim

Great job. If I may make a small request though as to change the white flip clock to the glass flip clock? I would really appreciate it. I use the glassclock on tf3d so it would just match better thanks in advace

Even though I said there would be no updates or whatsoever, I think that shouldn't be a big problem for me. If you were able to get me a screenshot or point me, where to get the source files, I can give it a try.

Nice work! Just a little note - why do you have the "flips" moved slightly to the right? Is it on purpose? Anyway - I've made another version if anyone found it useful.

Done and included in both pack (since V03) and templates.

Farkin Sweet! Thanks a ton for creating this, I REALLY appreciate it. Especially the templates! (Once I realized that it wasn't actually a real flip clock and half of it was part of the background.)

Great to hear that - anyway - just a little note - I haven't received any answer from the glass clock author, so I had to "rip" the source files from manila themes using the Manila Editor. The numbers are made by myself (actually edited), but I hope it looks pretty much like the original you wanted.

Wow, good job on that. I opened your glassclock template in Photoshop, inserted my own wallpaper, and sharpened it. Here's how it came out. (the only glitch i have found so far is that when the clock goes from 12:59-1:00 that the numbers slide over and no longer match up with flip clock outline.) Because of this, I'm not sure if my wallpaper for landscape will match (I have a TP). But I made one anyway. I also added a little more dimension to the slider and posted it.
:Edit: I got the glass to look a little more glassy/transparent. Now if only I could get the one in tf3d to be the same lol

The thing is that the clock format must be set to "HH:MM" (01:00) instead of "H:MM" (1:00) - there's unfortunately no other way. But I think I've mentioned it in the readme file. And what more - that's true that I haven't made the landscape wallpapers either.
EDIT: I've added the ZIP file containing the landscape templates. Thanks for your great idea!

Thanks for another template. Glad I could give you the idea. I took your advice about the clock and other than the a big "0", it's balanced. so I can deal. I also got bored and remade the slider icons again, and again, and again check 'em out! tell me what you think.

I think they're pretty good!

Great stuff. Thanks for your help.
Is there anyway to make the flip clock flip? Mine does not flip.

As far as I can tell - it's impossible.

That is what I figured. thanks.

[stopped!.. on to something else -see last post!] htctoucher's Microsoft retouched

Hey everyone!
I decided to stop this theme!
its not fun enough for my taste.. a little too generic even
I might start working on some palm pre inspired skins like this for pcmc:
so stay tuned?!
UPDATES AS OF 4/13/09:
Dialer skin added (see post #2)
wm6.5 skin added (see post #3)
s2u2 skin updated (vga support added and graphical errors fixed)!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
s2u2 Preview:
*not everything is shown (one wallpaper, some of the buttons/sliders)*​
INSTRUCTIONS:
-- backup original s2u2 gfx file if you wish to keep the original skin
-- unzip the qvga or vga gfx folder from the .zip file attached depending on your devices resolution
------ (excluding wallpapers, vga works with wvga and qvga works with wqvga)
-- there are different styles of unknown and nopicture callerid wallpapers, buttons, sliders and wallpapers within the zip
------ choose the one you want to use and name it to the correct filename (arrows.png, buttons.png, buttonl.png, wallpaper.jpg, nopic.png, unknown.png)
-- copy/move the gfx folder into your s2u2 folder and overwrite originals
-- you will want to disable the bottom bar and topbar in settings, and it would probably look best to disable the s2text for the dialer screens too in the lang file
FAQ:
Q: Are the call buttons/sliders hardcoded into a particular incoming caller wallpaper?
A: No, use whichever unknown or nopic wallpaper I have included, select either slide2end, slide2answer or simple answer and end buttons in s2u2 settings and you will see the sliders/buttons/wallpapers work independently from one another
Q: Will there be more FAQs??
A: Yup, as soon as I get more
WARNING:
I havent been able to test all aspects of the VGA version, but it should all work
If you encounter any issues (graphical) please upload a screenshot and/or description so I can work to fix it
Enjoy!

dialer and commmanager skins!
Preview of the comm manager and dialer skins:
..
**if anyone knows why in the dialer incall screen portrait the disabled pause and add call buttons are still htc-styled please let me know..
I skinned every image I found that corresponded to that part of the dialer but they havent changed!**​
DIALER INSTRUCTIONS:
-- first note that it is a QVGA skin, i dont know what the most popular VGA dialer is
-- unzip cab from zip attached
-- uninstall any previous versions of opal phone canvas if you have them installed
-- install the cab to device, not storage card
DIALER KNOWN ISSUES:
-- Not everything is skinned in the dialer, and there may be some issues as it is impossible for me to test everything
That being said, I tested everything I could, and I cannot find any skin-related issues
I tried my best to skin everything but there are over 200 files so it may be that I missed some
-- Also, I am still working on how to change the font color for smart dialing portion of the opal phone canvas
If anyone knows, please post or PM me!
it is the opal phone canvas, and I think its done by registry keys but the cab I used didnt install any
**comm manager coming as soon as i figure out which version this is so I can make the cab..
any help pointing me in the right direction would be great! (its part of NFSFAN's 6.5 rom)**​
here are just the files for opal phone canvas
only use these if you already have opal phone canvas already installed (the version WITH THE INCOMING SLIDER

Enjoy!
htctoucher

windows mobile 6.5 skin!
Preview of the skin for windows mobile 6.5 users
This theme will *only* work if you are running WM6.5!!​
INSTRUCTIONS:
-- download the .zip attached
-- unzip the folder "files to put in windows directory" somewhere so you can look inside it
------ the Titanium_240x320.cpr file fixes the date issue mentioned above, and the StartMenu_GridScene_240x320.cpr will change your start menu from 3 to 4 columns
-- choose which files you want to copy to your device, and do so
-- soft reset
------ you will not see the changes until you soft reset
KNOWN ISSUES:
-- some of the graphics of the lock screen have not been skinned, like the locked dialer for example
when I get more time I will skin these as well
Also, I was going to make a cab, but figured not everyone will be using titanium weather and may not want some files or 4 column start menu etc.
If cab is requested by some of you, I will make one, but its a pretty simple installation anyway
Enjoy!

just in case, this ones reserved for even later

Typical htctoucher Theme.Looks really cool.The Blue is allways royal.loved the arrow for ur s2u2.It would be cool if u add mort button skin.Great work.

Very nice icons for notifications! The slider needs a little touch up. Anyways, great job ! You need to update your theme color like blue to other colors. Blue is getting bored...

Amazing look and pretty impressive.

wow that baby is sweet lookin....please make a QVGA theme as well

Looks great and I am already looking forward to using it .
One question though, what formats will you make? WVGA?
Cheers!
// X

I love it! I cant wait to see the rest. good work!

you're pimping again

looks great.

Yes, please!
When you get finished with all this, mind if I cook them into a ROM? possibly some minor, minor branding involved (just on the M2D and/or S2U bg if you'll let me do so)

Man.. you're sick.. in a really really beautiful way.
Where do you get all those graphics? The notif icons look reeeaaaallly good. But try using a different color for the bkgnd.. maybe red? or purple? or yellow? or green? o orange?

Looking good!!

wow! great response!
wow i only posted this morning and alraedy got a LOAD of feedback.. very motivating! thanks to everyone who has posted!
now i will try to answer all of them.. because i can (and i want this theme to have a lot of user input because ideas/concepts are best developed when bounced around - thats the great thing about this community!)

yeah i like the notifications too, agreed on the slider, gotta fix up the edges and the white lock icon.. forgot to do that before i flattened it and uploaded the preview
i think i will do multiple colors, but i am not sure how to implement other colors (should multiple backgrounds with one dominant color, or one background with a melding of multiple colors?)
i agree blue is overused, but to be honest, its my favorite color! and microsoft uses it a LOT (maybe i will bring in some cyan/very blue green as that is the color scheme in vista?)
what do you think?

so please.. anyone with an old vga device, send it my way!
or if anyone knows a really good emulator.. i am using microsofts sdk, but it doesnt look good/right

hey sorry i couldnt respond right away but next time, pm me rather than post your problem 5 times. Could you tell me which version of tf3d you have? (Go to settings tab of tf3d and look at the version number)
