[5/4/2008] ichis - "Yet Another iPhone Hybrid Theme" for rlToday

Hello All,
I updated a few lines in my MortScripts, redownload the ichis.zip file and the new files are in the ichis directory, just overwrite the existing files in "\Program Files\rlToday\ichis\"
I wanted to release my rlToday theme. ALL icons are active and info is displayed. Let me know what you think.

To update weather:
a.) Either tap the one of the smaller icons (tomorrow/after tomorrow's forecast) if you are connected to the internet.
b.) Or, tap the big icon (current condition) to update via Google's SMS. once the message is recieved:
- Open the message
- Tap and hold and Select all
- Tap and hold and Copy
Then it will update the Today screen.
The reason I have an SMS option: I don't have a data plan other than when I'm at a WiFi spot. So, its really for me
If any of you get an error message, please post it here and let me know so I can add that icon/weather condition [Un]Fortunately, I live in New Mexico and its always Sunny and Clear, hehe.
AND I'd love feedback. If you use it, modify it, post your screen here!! I'd love to see what you guys come up with too!
Installation:
Inside the attached chis.zip file, you'll find everything you need:
1. Install MortScript 4.1
2. Install rlToday
3. Copy Sys-To-Reg-2.0 directory to \Program Files\
4. Copy cutouts.ttf to \Windows\Fonts\
5. Copy ichis directory to \Program Files\rlToday\
6. Run Sys-to-Reg-Install.mscr and allow it to run at Startup
7. Make ichis the skin in rlToday
8. (OPTIONAL) If you use S2U2 v1.00 or above, set the weather option to UserWeather in S2U2 Settings and copy the contents of the S2U2weather directory to \Program Files\S2U2\gfx\weather\
9. (OPTIONAL) Set the bg-black.bmp as your background with 0% transperancy via the WM Pictures & Videos application
10. (OPTIONAL) If you would like your own background behind the icons, I've included a bg.png file that has the transparency layer preserved and you may place another image behind it of your choice using your favorite image editor (ie. Photoshop) -OR- just make your favorite image your background.
11. SoftReset and Enjoy!
* Note: you may need to edit some of the applications that the skin.xml file launches. you can do so by editing the skin.xml file.
Recommended applications:
S2U2 by A_C
S2P by A_C
Google Maps by Google
Task Manager by DotFred.net
** I have my mail icon launching Gmail, if you don't have this account on your phone, you'll need to edit the gmail.lnk file to launch the appropriate account.
Special thanks to Mirko Schenk for MortScript, Allgemein and emerym at the rlToday forums and for Sys-to-Reg. Although Sys-to-Reg is currently version 3.0, I'm using 2.0 because it does what I need it to

Nice but seems like a lot of steps

Hehe, yea, The whole reason I use Sys-to-Reg is so that when there are no messages/missed calls it doesn't display a nasy "0" and its blank.
And the reason for the update via SMS option is because I dont have a data plan

Update
I updated the instructions a bit. This is my first release, so I'm thinking of things to add to the post as I go

wow!!!!!!
thanks in advance

'new' Opera Icon very ugly

Since the new ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=504094) the Opera Browser Icon is very ugly.
{
"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_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Is there any way to change it? I prefer the transparent one...

Here a bigger picture, to proof that the new opera icon is quite ugly...
Anyone any idea how to replace it?

Ain't it though?
Step 1:
Create a .REG file with the contents below and import the .REG file:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Opera9ICO]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Opera9ICO\SelectIcon]
@="\\windows\\OperaL.exe,131"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Opera9ICO\DefaultIcon]
@="\\windows\\OperaL.exe,131"
Step 2:
Adjust the contents of .LNK (Opera Browser.lnk) icon file as follows:
Code:
39#"\Windows\OperaL.exe"?:Opera9ICO
Power off/on your device ... should do the trick.
HTH,

hilaireg,
thanks, though i have to ask again a bit. sorry!
step 1,
so i copy paste the whole content
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Opera9ICO]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Opera9ICO\SelectIcon]
@="\\windows\\OperaL.exe,131"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Opera9ICO\DefaultIcon]
@="\\windows\\OperaL.exe,131"
into a .txt-file, rename it to .reg and import and run it?
step 2,
because in the reg-file OperaL.exe is mentioned, I looked it up.
Seems as if the OperaL.exe has the same 'stupid' icon.
And how or where do I
Code:
Adjust the contents of .LNK (Opera Browser.lnk) icon file as follows:

Hi DaM79,
Step 1:
That is correct, create a .REG file with the complete contents of the "Code" window in the post. You'll need to use a utility to import the .REG file - ex: PHM Registry Editor, FdcSoft (dotFred) Task Manager, etc.
Step 2:
It does, the .REG file and the adjustment to the .LNK file instruct the system to use a different icon that is embedded inside the OPERAL.EXE file. An .EXE/.DLL file can typically contain many icon resources ... which is the case with OPERAL.EXE. You can use a utility to view icon resouces - ex: ResView.
The Opera Browser shortcut (.LNK) is usually found in .\Windows\Start Menu\... - you can use File Explorer to navigate to the folder location on your device - you may need to enable Show All Files in File Explorer.
HTH,

I tried to change it, but on my side I can't change the icon settings.
So I can't get the icon change to work one bit.
Do I need software to do it?
I also tried to import the registry file with PHM editor, but it grey's the option for it.

Everything you need is attached to my previous response.
Cheers,

Thank you for pointing that out to me.
I don't know why I haven't checked that post and tried the software you mentioned.
It works like a charm now. Thank you!

Today 06:18 AM

Name : htc programs
Size : 150kb
Info : 3X FASTER than the original program folder
Comparing Video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWlZC_ZPIXA
so now i need your help to change the original programs folder path to this EXE
YOU NEED TO TRY IT
installing: unzip it and copy it anywhere in your diamond and make shortcut to startmenu

Very smooth indeed. Nice one mate.
Got a question though. How do you create a shortcut in the start menu to a program like this that hasn't been installed?

look at this - Link Creator 1.3 ... it should do the job... (if u are using english rom)

Wonderful
Is there the settings.exe?

I think this is the same as something that should already be on your phone. Check in \Windows for a file called folderview.exe (it's on my Fuze and I presume it's in Diamond's as well). I've seen this in the past since the tweak to get 4 columns in the programs directory will not work for this file. What I've done n the past is set this as a soft key to make it quicker to get to.

Renaming this file to folderview.exe and cooking it in the ROM overwriting the existing file wont help?

use resco explorer
1-hold on the file you want to make shortcut for
2-a screen will popup
3-press send/send to startmenu

wow thanks for this! makes such a big difference

Where did you get the background from?

Thanks guys for the solving my shortcut program. It was really bugging me that I didnt have a shortcut to the TomTom 7.9.

[HOWTO] Set full screen background on Mega (Touch 2)

I did a (fake) full screen background for the default Mega’s theme, but you can do it for any image that you like.
>> Here is a usefull Tutorial about how to edit images by TheRem. <<
The defaults (Brown) Mega’s “Taskbar” and “SoftKeyBar” images for “HTC Black” theme, are named:
“HTCblack_taskbar.png” for Taskbar (UpBar) and “HTCblack_softkeybar.png” for SoftKeyBar (Down Bar).
They are under “/Windows” folder and you CAN'T replace them.
So what we do?
Its simple.
1. First of all you need a 240x320 (any format) image.
(For my example i used the default Mega's Background that is named "HTC_stwater_240_320.jpg" and you can find it under "/Windows" folder)
2. Crop it like TheRem’s Tutorial.
BUT crop both images (Taskbar’s and Shoftkeybar’s ) at 240x26 and NOT 240x18 / 240x34 as TheRem’s Tutorial.
3. Save them both as PNG (it might work for other formats too but not test it).
4. Transfer the two images to the phone.
(For my example I named images as “HTCblack_taskbar1.png” and “HTCblack_softkeybar1.png” and I put them under “/Windows” folder. But you can name them as you like and put them anywhere you like)
5a. Open a Registry Editor and head for TaskBar to: “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Taskbar” open the “TaskBarThemeImage” and change the path “\Windows\HTCblack_Taskbar.png” to path that you place the image for Taskbar.
5b. For ShoftKeyBar head to: “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\SoftKeyBar” and edit “SoftKeyBarThemeImage” as above.
(For my example I swapped paths to “\Windows\HTCblack_Taskbar1.png” and “\Windows\HTCblack_softkeybar1.png” respectively)
6. When you end all these, do a soft-reset and you will get these results.

The images that you want to change are part of Manila2d (TouchFLO2.0) and not part of windows system. So you need to search @ "M2D2.0 Themes Topic" about them... Anyway the images that you want are named "hh_fw_tab_bg_fill.png" and "hh_fw_title.png" under "\Windows" Folder but i dont know yet the registry keys that allows you to replace them... so do your search @ ''M2D2 Themes'' topic and i think you ll reach your answer

Quicklinks Folder Shortcut

Howdy All,
Firstly i hope I'm putting this thread in the correct folder. If not, could the powers that be do some magic and move it to the appropriate topic.
Preamble: Using blackSTONEhenge (cookie and now slim) it bugged me that I had to have quicklinks to specific programs and not to specific folders e.g. Games or Office. After lots of searching, and I do mean lots, I managed to do this. credit must go to pgriffith in the Touch Diamond forum, and others.
Solution (for Games Folder shortcut): Unzip the _FolderView.exe in the zip file found by following this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416092 post #3
Using Notepad, create a .lnk (that's .Lnk) shortcut file with the following:
66#"\Windows\_FolderView.exe" #\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games\?shellres.dll,-8229
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and save as Games.lnk. Don't forget the .lnk at the end.
Copy and Paste to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder. You can now add the Games folder to your Quicklinks. The beauty about this is that uses the ROMS start menu and not File Explorer.
I tried the same with Office folder and it worked, except the icon is, as you can imagine, the games folder. My next challenge is to identify the Office icon number from shellres.dll and even better the HTC Sense icons. If anyone can help, it'd be much appreciated.
PS: If this has already been discussed, kindly ignore.

Thanks Raving Nanza. I realised my error.
For an Office Shortcut use
67#"\Windows\_FolderView.exe" #\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Office Mobile 2010\?officeres.dll,-7690
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
. Funnily enough when I changed it to -3 as per your suggestion Nanza, it was the same icon.
Any ideas on using the Sense Games icon that looks like a game controller instead of the Windows folder + card icon? Anyone know what the .dll file for the Quick folder is(i.e. the one with the toggle switches for BT, Wifi etc)?

ok i dont know how you got -7690 but it could be your version of officeres.dll is differant to mine, obviously coz in mine its icon number 3....
if its just the icon you want to change then make an icon and put it in the windows folder, name it something random and create a link to the icon then lable the link - icon.lnk... now put the icon.lnk into the folder you want to have the icon for, eg games/office... any folder to be honest.
but.. swiftly moving on:
when i made my rom i created my own dlls and icons for folders, using icofx.exe and reshacker.exe .... ive uploaded my dlls below..
the icons inside my dlls are:
windowsfoldericon.dll, -1 = WINDOWS FOLDER ICON
windowsfoldericon.dll, -2 = OFFICE FOLDER ICON
windowsfoldericon.dll, -3 = TOOLS FOLDER ICON
gamesicon.dll, -1 = GAMES FOLDER ICON
