THEME + RINGTONE + PHONE DIALLER all-in-one CAB file

Firstly thanks to all those who contributed knowledge, picture files etc in the production of this cab file.
This 'super theme' does a few things -
changes phone dialler skins in both landscape and portrait mode
changes dial buttons in both potrait and landscape views aswell as in the progress screen and dial screens
changes missed/incoming/outgoing notifications in call history
changes the ringtone to the matrix soundtrack
adds the matrix theme to 'my documents' folder.
what i am struggling with is to automate the matrix.tsk file automatically rather than manually setting the file.
i added this to my extended rom so the only other thing it didnt apply is the black bars on the task bars etc.
apart from that give me your verdict on rounghly a weeks work.....
ps the file is 4mb due to the ringtone and also i would like the data for the 'video' button so that i can amend the registry to fit in with the rest of the theme. thanks.

Hi 16cum,
What application are you using for your meters? Any slow downs?

i am using a simple one called batterybar.arm
attached
nice and simple an deasy to use doesnt slow the system down much, only thing is it was designed for WM2003 so sometimes shows charging and sometimes battery full, but after a single tap starts to behave!
re other screen shots well i am hoping to do Star Wars theme, but give me a bit of time and will post

nice work 16cum :wink: give us more !!

Hello
A few glitches sorted out with the cab files, they still do what i said they would the difference is now they are about 1mb in size, i have cut down the ringtone to 33 secs so drastically reduce the file size with compromising quality.
the rest is the same. you will still need to apply the theme via the Today Screen settings as as yet i havent been able to apply directly. Unless someone can help me!!! anyway
Enjoy Starwars and Matrix!!!!
Plz leave feedback on these and any requests and am also considering starting a website for these Super Themes so can have them all in one place.
Thanks

Forgot to add:
Use any cab file on your Exec, and just install. It will restart the device, then goto settings>today and apply the theme.
If you want the other one instead just transfer the other cab file and click to install. It will automatically uninstall the first theme and install the 2nd one and just the same goto the settings>today and apply the new theme.
This way you dont use a lot of storage space and program memory., you only use the 1mb for each theme in you device or better still SD card.
thanks

Err I am no longer using The Matrix theme but it is still shows up on the dial pad section? How do i remove it?
Edit: Found it under remove programs

Today launcher that supports big icons ?

Hello everybody !
After numerous attempts to customize my HTC trinity for a thumb-based experience, I finally got onto some applications that really do the job :
- Tene's PocketCM for the contacts
- ArticCat's OTO for the calendar (works well so far, however I hope to see more of it soon)
- Paulya's Vista II dialer replacement
- A_C's S2U for the lock and S2V for the pics viewer
- HTC's PhonePad for the SIP and Mediaplayer for the music player
- SPB's Mobile Shell for the navigation and the menus.
What I'm missing is a launcher that would work as a today plugin, and that would support large icons in PNG format (thus, with alpha transparency). By "big" I mean "larger than the default 32x32 pixels that all launchers support" - 48 or 60 pixels beeing the size I'm after (something large enough for my fat thumbs ). I don't need tab support, since there are only a small number of apps I want to access from the today screen (typically 8-12).
Do you know if anything that'd meet my needs exists for WM5? Even for a small/reasonable fee (means, around 10-15$) ?
Thanks a million in advance !

I think i used claunch to put a really big shortcut (64x64px) on my todayscreen
Greetings, Vi

ThrottleLauncher
Search for the ThrottleLauncher thread here. No Today plugin yet but all indications are that it will be coming. Great launcher, you can size the rows the pictures are in to any size you wish. I am using 56picsels by 56picsels.

pocketage - no size limit

I tried to install PocketAge from the latest CAB I could find on this board, but something must have gone bad... My Trinity is now stuck as reboot
Everytime I soft-reset it, it got stuck then block at the following step :
{
"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"
}
Of course, none of the hard or soft buttons work and I can't dismiss this reminder. I tried to remove the corresponding event from outlook but I couldn't manage to sync the device. I noticed I can access the device filesystem. One strange thing, though, makes me thing that the system is not completely frozen : the clock on the reminder changes and shows the correct time.
Any idea how to recover my phone without having to hard-reset it ? Thanks !!!

yeah, claunch is a good one. it's a today plugin and you can use custom icons. not sure if they are png though never tried it. it has way more options than you need but you can configure it how you want....

S2U2 Diamond weather icons

I've made an icon strip for S2U2 weather status. It works with SPB weather, I don't know if the same file is used to display icons for HTC weather and other options in S2U2 weather status. Just copy and overwrite it to Program Files/S2U2/gfx/weather/
{
"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",

}

They look great, but is there a zip file for it? These will work on any weather app. Each icon has a specific name, "2.png", for example. Each weather forecast gives a specific code for the current status which then shows that specific icon, like 2=Hot!, so it shows "2.png".

Hi,
thanx for sharing works and looks wonderful

If someone can make a skin file for Spb Weather too, it would be great!

I've made icons for SPB Weather, before I've realized that S2U2 uses that icon stripe to display icons. I don't know if they work correcty, but here you go.
Usage:
1. Copy to Program Files/SPB Weather/Diamond/
2. In SPB Weather in Menu/Skins add the dir in step 1.
3. In View, 'Choose skin' select Diamond
Done.

It's working great, thank you! Now I can stop in creating a skin myself!

Can you do it for SBSH Pocketweather plz?
It would be awesome!!

do you have a zip with all the individual icons that ChampJT suggested? theyre the only ones that work on S2U2.

anyone have the stardock weather icons for s2u2?

how can i put this strip of icons into the weather folder in S2U2 when all the other weather images are individual for each condition, any help, it can't be as simple as just dropping the whole strip into the weather folder.

Thanks, how do you apply the font? Copying it \Windows\Fonts\ is not enough!? In XMT the fonts don't appear on the font tab.

damn!
this is amazing!
i love it.
very original.

Awesome theme, as always
How do you make your themes? I see Mac OS X files in the .zip, so do you use a Mac?

i made a miniColour blue iContact theme that kinda matches

Very nice! Great design! Nice to see colours and with light!

Great work chriscsh! Congrats! Looks awesome

Thanks all guy
just upload some file for S2P to match the miniColour Theme

vga fonts dimensio mismatch in my case

Very nice, very original. Excellent work

[THE] SonyEricsson logo for start icon and waiting cursor

Here is it, a modified shellres.192.dll to have a nice SE logo instead of standard windows start icon and a nice rolling waiting cursors
Preview :
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
How to install:
- install sdkcerts.cab first
- copy provided shellres.192.dll to your \Windows dir with TotalCommander or Resco, overwrite when prompted
- reboot
If something goes wrong or you want to restore default dll:
- rename \Windows\shellres.192.dll to shellres.192.dll.old with TotalCommander or Resco
- reboot
- delete shellres.192.dll.old
I'm not assuming any responsability about this hack or your devices
btw it works great for me

nice job! going to have this

thanks allot
but i can't try biz my phone is new i scare damage
if after 6 month i go to to try

nice work indeed!
Thanks!

It works beautifully... thanks!!!

the start icon is brilliantly done, make the X1 more complete and I wonder why SE won't put that in to "create" its own DNA
could you do a transparent background for the animated cursor? I think this can be done (in other thread) as the black background looks out of place.
Thanks, great work though.

Great!
But if better if wait corsor have a pulse mode instead of a rotation.

I agree with tha, I will try, but I don't think is possible
this is a standard replacement for windows cursors image, there are only bmp and bmp doesn't support transparency. Other programs (i.e. marshall cursor) can handle format as png but take control over the waiting process replacing it but at memory cost and more possibilities to misfunction
the only chance for me is to find a color that winmobile use as alpha even in bmp format. Can you point me to one of these transparent cursor thread?

The .DLL file is read only. How can i replace it with the one you have?

Hi
