Kaos Cursor for MWC2 - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Yeah i know MWC3 is on our doorsteps but I decided to make a cursor in the meantime for use with 2 - no doubt it will be compatible with version 3 though.
I love the vista cursor but its too small as its designed for qvga, and i use the diamond, so i decided to make one, then i went off on one and it doesnt really look like the vista one, but i like it so i thought id share it.
Here's an example of what it looks like.....
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Let me know what you think....
**Edit**
Ive made different resolutions for those that dont use diamond.
Resolutions are:
QVGA - 240x320
VGA - 480z640
WVGA - 800x480 (Let me know what this looks like as i cant test)
Cheers, kaos.

WOW !!!
this cursor is wonderful man !! Many thanks for sharing !!
but for which resolution is it for ?

i really like this but after looking inside the zip i found 18 images. i dont know what steps MWC does to make cursors but i can add them in the shellres.. and have a VGA cursor done by saturday morning, if its ok with you ??
and if it is id also like to share this with the members of the site i staff on, smartphonejunkie.com, again if its alright with u ??

Thanks for the wonderful cursors kaos_king!
They'll be included in the release of MWC3, if you don't mind.
Great work!

If you add them into shellres you will lose the transparency and get a white border around it, like the original windows wait cursor, wont you?
Anyway, you have my permission to use this on your site, but could you please give credit? I will take a look at the site.

TF3D Theme Webpage

Hi guys,
I noticed that the collection of TF3D themes used with TF3D Config are
scattered across the forums. I did find one page (wiki) that had them semi-organized.
I have been reviewing the CDMA Diamond at the TheTouchBlog
and I don't mind hosting the themes and any screenshots.
If you would like to have a place to show off your themes then PM me and I
can set you up with an FTP account. You can then upload any pics, changes to the theme files and then PM me any changes. I can then quickly add these to the HTML pages for you.
Let me know. I would love to have one place to go for themes instead of having to do dig around.
Thats nice from you. I hope someone will support your cool blog and share his TF3D themes, cause thats what I am missing. A page with all the themes on 1 place.
I guess another question is, would theme developers here be ok if I posted your themes ( I would give you credit and a link back to xda)?
I can download them myself and then add them to my server so I am not leaching off anyone.
I just don't want to step on any toes so I thought I would throw that out here.
If no one cares then I will start adding them myself.
Thanks!
I encourage you guys to let blue1k host for yah. he is hosting our rom for the new Diamond and he is doign a very nice and neat job!
I guess no one cares...lol
If you have any problems with me featuring your theme then let me know.
I'm going to start adding them
Thanks Blue
Ok I added a few themes along with screens.
You can check them out at my site:
The Touch Blog

Thanks a lot
BTW: Do these themes all come with a modified landscape panel of Tf3D for the PRO?

Site looks cool, like the scrolling feature to view the skins.... Feel free to post any of mine..
One thing though, you've put arsenal football theme on your menu, but it clicks through to the Liverpool theme instead
lol...I just realized that...will fix it soon
I will also add link backs to xda so people can see donate buttons when I have some time.
thanks!
This must be a sticky, because it´s so helpfull.
Your site is beautiful, did you do all the design yourself?
Great initiative, thanks.
Wheres the the touch blog site gone it doesnt seem to be there?
likewise, if you guys need hosting or anything -- just send me a pm -- I'd be more than happy -- and thanks Blue
seems like a good idea, would love a central point to find themes, but the theme slider that you use is very flash but won't be practical with 100/1000 themes, a lot of work for you to update/maintain an also as a user a mission to slide through em all, maybe a "list all" option too? just a thought.
You may put my themes on your site if you wish.
Love what your doing though, an hope it all goes well
Ya the scroller is not the best for a lot of themes but for now it works.
I used part of the design from another app and then did the rest in photoshop.
The problem I have is the site is a CSS theme that I used in Rapidweaver (mac) that I completely redid in photoshop. I had to sell my mac so right now trying to get Leopard for virtualization or OSX running natively.
SO....
Right now I have no way of updating the site but I am working on it!!!!!
Thanks for the comments
Hey Dude, might be that it is late at night, but how do I download a theme from your site?
slow website ....
or loading error didn't wait very impatient

[15/10/08] Manila 2d in Landscape Workaround

Hi guys,
If you're like me, and you constantly flip open your keyboard to find that once you go to the Today screen, your Manila 2d makes your device rotate back to Portrait, you're in luck
Here's the result of a three days of work:
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Download:
http://myunspace.com/?d=D45839481
Video: (thanks darkz)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rv-mN15o5VI
How it Works:
Inside the .cab is Mortscript, which is vital for this to work. There is a script that runs while Device.exe (which should always be running) that reads whether the device is in Portrait or Landscape, and checks off TouchFlo and checks my Touchflo-skinned RLToday, and vice-versa. Then it redraws the Today screen. However, it does take a while to do all of this, but the effect is worth while
Enjoy and comment please
Woo, right on time, installing now...thank you so much!!
Does this work with all TouchFlo skins or does it only work for certain ones?

Very nice. 1 Suggestion: post the release date (16OUT) in the title. For some reason, i was expecting to see it ( I think it picks up more attention ).
Any chance you can post a video?

Thanks mbarvian

edit: download is failing every time - server can't keep up?
just a curious question, whats the difference between this landscape and herg's upcomming landscape mode?

this one is just convenient shortcuts, while his is just landscape Manila 2D
however, I don't know how that's going to play out, but we'll see!
THANKS my friend, great job
Mirror please. Can't download, complaining that due to proxy server or something. Thanks.
wow great work men...
i installed it and when i go to landscape it doesn't work. i also did soft reset b4. i got a Samsung sch-i760.
heres a rapidshare mirror: http://rapidshare.com/files/154444657/MBarvian_Manila_2d_Landscape.cab.html
EDIT:
tested on an At&t tilt from 10:30 pm on..and works ( for the most part ).
issues to report :
threaded msg'g doesnt work
contacts take 3-5 seconds to load
task menu loads scrambled.
i do appreciate your efforts tho..i do look foward to a future release!
Works great!
Any way to change the links?
Awesome work Mbarvian! Any chance of switching this over to homescreen ++ UI, its very similiar to rltoday in the xml design, but allows for multiple pages and today plugins to be added? That could open lots of possibilities.
question: once installed if you dont like it can you uninstall it or what cause id like to try it out on my tytn 2 but like to know whats what first thanx a lot an greak tjob on making this!!!
Very nice, great work! I installed on my herald running ttrans 7.5 M2D rom and it works great. sure there is a bit of a lag, but who cares it adds alot of class to the manilla platform! so for all with M2D cooked into their ROMs, this will work. Thank you for your time and obvious talent!
hey mbarvarian i posted a link frm my thread to yours.
i am still trying to get a true landscape m2d but untill then i did post a link here.
great job i really like this alternative setup.

Which I now realise linked to the wrong place in the first post. I've fixed the link up there!
Looks funny and good!
Thanks, and goodluck for the next updates!
i love the idea but honestly speaking, i really dont like the colour theme.. (the red part i mean..i see that the blue is skinable so...it would be nice if it was black like manila or make the application skinable..i'd gladly make some skins if it was like that or help with the graphics if needed
seeing this reminded me of that film "wargames"
I agree about the colour scheme - I look forward to the future developments of this one and will try it when the VS computer option is ready.
Cheers
here is how it loks with a carbon background
This is fantastic. I cant wait for the release that has player vs computer. Colors are a bit loud, especially in the dark. Maybe a color selection option and ability to change background would be great...if possible.

The skin for the game part can be changed (as in the post above), the tabs are part of the ManilaGames framework.
See here for the ManilaGames framework.
With regards to the skin, the two O/X are 120x120 pixels, offset at 0 and 120 pixels (width) respectively. The "buttons" are 90x40, offset by 240 and 360 pixels (width). The background is 480x640 pixels, offset by 120 pixels (height) from the top.
perfect..i see now the file for the slider..i have no idea what to do to make the exe after i skin it.could i send you the skin(s) after i make them?
edit: by the way the lines which show in the middle of the screen during the game. where is its resource located?
Sweet! I can't wait for your next games!
Thanks, It's cool

Hi Rota,
you've done a great job in developing for the Xperia so I would be happy to help you out in beta testing some of your applications.
tester here...
but i've have the italian version of touch pro2
no problem..thats even better
Excellent, I'd be happy to test any TF3D mods you can come up with
I've got a UK Vodafone Touch pro 2 (TF3D=2.1.38158.2), with their own TF3D theme applied.
I have managed to change most things using MaxTTM, but can't change the black text to a lighter colour so I can use dark backgrounds (I'm sure you could fix this as it's the opposite to stock HTC TF3D white text )
Just for info, those who haven't seen Vodafone's theme, see attached + one of my updated look -
stock text is black as well.not white.i could do it..but not right now..right no my eyes are set on some more flamboyant mods..

It looks like I'm the only one around with the US T-Mobile branded version.
A lot of stuff currently out right now doesn't work for this device...trust me!
I've been a member for several years now & haven't contributed much. This is the 1st time I'm on the scene before everyone else.
With all my previous devices, by the time I got them....everything was available except for my MDA and I was a rookie then.
Nice to see you over here mate .
I tried your Slide to Unlock Mod on my Vode branded TP2 and it worked (kinda) but had some graphical glithes... If you know about these fine, if not, lemme know and I'll re-install and post you some more details.
Dave
I have the Orange UK ROM on my Rhodium, if I can be of any use with testing then let me know and I will try my best to help.
count me in I am happy to beta test.
cheers
Nice to see you over here... gimme a shout if you need anyone else to test
Dave
I have an unbranded version 1.19.401.0(51489) WWE,
If you need any more testers.

hey dave,
i was aware and now i have tried to make it so that it will work perfecto on all phones!!
--

[Q] modding HtcHomeSetting.xml.

Hi guys,
I was reading this thread , it explain some tips for modding HtcHomeSetting.xml for Manila 2D, seems that thread is a bit old and im afraid that a post in there won't give me some answers.
Basically i understand what this mean but there is something that i cant understand:
how can i find the coordinates for moving things on Manila?
I know that my device is QVGA 240x320 and i would make a grid for have more simply all tyhe work of customisation plus i wanna try to make manila 2D in Landscape.
Any tips, tut or apps would be really appreciated.
Thanks.
Hey man... i guess i saw a Visual UI software for your PC that can helps you editing XML coordinates... just give it a try with the search
mmm search as XML GUI editor or something like that
XmlGui by programatix
