icons on themes, dialer skin.

I have tried to search and find what to do to install a theme that has icons, and cannot figure it out. Do I need some program that everyone is using? Also on dialer skins how are those installed?
Do skins kill battery life or use alot of system resources?
Thanks

What theme? If its HTC home, you install the .cab file from the phone or sync the phone to pc and double click .exe.
If its a .tsk file, Put the file in the windows directory of the phone then go to today screen and select from there.
Skins dont use a lot of system resources UNLESS they are actively doing something( S2U2 for example if you install a moving gif as your wallpaper) as they are just being used instead of the originals.. Cheers...

yea, u need to be a wee bit more clear as to what you want, you're probably new and dont know the right terms, so maybe if you posted some pics we could understand a bit better what u are trying to achieve.

this is the style im looking for http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=51534&d=1190401691 with the big clock and some icons below. I think that I will need a plug in to show the icons. I installed a tsk theme but it only changed the color of the top and bottom bars, but did not show the large clock or icons like that one. I saved it to the memory card, not within a folder and I was able to browse find and install it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry Im New
thanks,
Nicholas

that big clock is the htc home plugin, which you can download all over this forum, or at www.pocketemu.com which incidentally also has another program called htc home customizer, which would be the easiest way to customize the home icons. It may not have that exact theme you are looking for, so the best way to get that theme is to ask the person who posted that screenshot

Ditto. Welcome to the addiction...I'm lucky to keep the same clock and icons for more than a week...

[PdaStatus] New release for WVGA devices !

Hello everybody,i find this plugin very useful on my Kaiser,but on my HD it works perfectly but it was very too small . So i've decided to modify it for our wvga devices .Here are some screenshots :
First install the plugin available here then replace config.xml and put the other files in the same folder as the original skins .

Does this tool + skin replace the task manager or when does ist flip up?

Pdastatus is a plugin created by Corner-a,it works like all the other plugins on your today . Task manager is an other application ...

Download it in the official website

dont work in my touch hd....
sorry for my bad english

on my hd works but not your skin pls help..

hello,do you change config.xml too ? Do you put all the files in the correct folder ?

I've just recently reverted back to the old Windows Today Screen after issues with PointUI2. I decided to update my PDAStatus icons to have a 'stainless look' to be more in keeping with the rest of my Today theme. The icons are 64x64 pixels, optimised for a WVGA display. Its a bit of a WIP at the moment, I've just made the battery, wifi, bluetooth and sms icons because those are the ones that I use.
What do you think, if anyone is interested, I'll make the whole set.

hi i just want to know 2 things, please:
is it possible to increase a little the icons size and is it possible to display the % memory used where i circled?
i have a Touch HD
thx for Ur answers

Diamond 2 and skins

Hi everyone
Can anyone tell me if it is posibble to change the skins on the diamond2 (the newest model).
What kind of program will i need?
i have downloaded the program from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427392
and want to use the skins in this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425974
Can i do this om my diamond 2?
If not can someone please tell this newbey how i can change my skins on the htc diamond 2
Thank you so much

hi,
no you can't because the skins you pointed out are for TF2D (manila2D) only.
Nevertheless it's possible to change the skin : choose TF3D2.1 skins for your Diam2
The best is to install themes cabs : copy the cab to your ppc then click on it with your explorer (total commander by example) to install it and soft reset (reboot)

Well thank you very much for your reply!
I typt tf3d2.1 in the search field here on the site but i did not find any files.
Can you point me in the right direction? where can i find that kind of themes?
Thank you again

hi,
First of all your Diam2 (topaz) is WVGA (480x800px screen) so you have to verify in thread title if the theme is really made for WVGA screens.
Second, your UI is called TF3D2.1 (or manila 2.1) here on XDA : that means you can install full themes made for TF3D2.1 or icons only (from bottom bar) made for TF3D (the first diamond or Blackstone). The best is to try different themes because there is no general rules : some icons sets will work but others won't
The last version TF3D2.5 from LEO device (manila2.5) won't work with your Diam2 stock rom.
there are different ways to get skins for your Diam2 :
- into the dedicated Topaz section : HERE (this one was made especially for your Diam2 so all the stuffs you'll find into this section will work on your Diam2)
- Into general dev&hack section you have the windows themes : HERE
(this is general section so all the themes in this section won't work : verify WVGA TF3D2.1)
- the most important skins databases for TF3D are for Diamond1 (HERE) & HD-Blackstone section (HERE) (because they are older than your D2)
By example, these ones should work on your Diam2 :
- Snoopy
(choose WVGA, don't install VGA or manila2.5 cabs)
- Dusk for manila2.1
- Coquette
- Vector
- my TF3D icons HERE
BTW skins & themes are mentioned by [SKN] or [THE] for a better readability in thread title
One last thing : never install a theme cab on a previous one, always remove old theme cab before installing a new one ^^

Hi thank you again for your reply you made me a happy woman haha
Tonight (its 10 a.m. here) i gonna to install your black icons on my diamond 2
You made what was gibberish for me a normal language thank you so much

I really liked your black vi.7 icons. I downloaded the file and i am gonna install it tonight!
I let you know if it worked! and i am gonna add a thanks on your thread ofcourse

Can i also instal the v2.2 icons? i liked those evenmore

Yes, all my SenseLIKE TF3D icons work with TF3D1/TF3D2.1

well i got something strange it does not fully work on my diamond
How i installed it..
i installed the cab on my memory card. then i installed the program and turned my telephone off and on.. and i tryed to soft reset it.
Is this the right way to install it?
The problem is that the first icon stays in color and the pictures of the icons do not fully fit in the icons. you can not see the full icon.

Do you have the new TF3D2.1 Sense (weather clock) ?

uhmm i have windows 6.5 with the newest rom update from the htc website. the rom update that change the colors the icons. And i do have the weather clock.

oh and maybe good to know.. i have diamond tweak installed on my phone

cant see to get the m mobiler working 2 :s

got the mobiler working but the front is not fully showing.. i hope you got the idea..
you can see the top of the icons
i attatched a print screen

it seems like the icons are to big for the slide bar

hi,
thanks for the screenshot : I can see your issue now ^^

thanks again! gonna try it tonight..
Hope it works!
Ill let you know

yes i worked
Looks so nice!!!
Thank you so much!
Now im gonna try to figure out if i can change that green color that you see in the phone. that little green ball wich tell you how much emails you got and in the organizer.. really dont like the green color..
Well anyway you helped me solve my problem with the colored icons!!
Many many thanks

if you know the answer to my question can you tell me how :$
All most afraid to ask haha you helpt me already so much..

hi,
Well, for Email bubble notification, the most important collection to my knowledge is the one made by CMYLXGO at PPCGeeks : HERE
To change green highlights to blue you can take a look at DJCedric or Henk2484 BlueHighlights

Custom Wallpaper

Were i can locate the default wallpapers on my HTC and if anyone know whats the default size of them
Maybe i will sit and make one of my own so i need those info
And ..what i need to make it a weather - wallpaper ? And what i need to make it animated?
Thanx in advance

MOD EDIT - Moved to General forum as not related to rom development

no one can help me?

You're free to decide in which direcotory to put your own wallpapers, no need to put them in the default directory. I for myself have put several wallpapers in a directory on the storage card. Later, as you change your wallpaper, just go to the TouchFlo tab called "wallpaper" or "background picture" (I'm not sure since I use another language version) and navigate to this directory, then select your own wallpaper.
They can be of different sizes. Since this is not a full answer to your question, I added a container with some nice wallpapers which I found in another forum. The last one ("fantasy") is special, it has an additional frame.

Thanx for reply !
i need to know the dimensions cause i like to make my own theme (Starcraft 2 )
Anyway you know how to make it animated ... or like those new "Weather Wallpaper" ?
i have an HTC HD with Maryone Rom... 6.5

I only can tell you the dimensions of the one I use myself ("fantasy", it's included in the *.zip file I uploaded). Its dimensions are 533 x 800 pixels.
Sorry, no idea how to animate a picture, my knowledge in graphics is down to almost zero. However, searching with "how to animate a jpg" brought instant access to several solutions (software packages). Some are to be found here: http://bit.ly/cblIdu. Good luck, though!

ok mate
thanx a lot
