For those of you like me who feel like an idiot for not being able to set up your ifonz theme then here you go. I literally figured this out like 10 minutes ago after searching FOREVER for help on the topic and being afraid to ask for help for fear of a tongue lashing (I didn't know Nick Burns was a regular on this site! Little SNL humor)
Themes in ifonz are really simple. They're not like any other themes we mess with like in weatherpanel, or the today screen. There is no cab file, no installer, just .png files.
All you have to do is:
1. download your theme/icon of choice from the net (do a search for ifonz screen and you'll see what i'm talking about - in Nick Burns style)
2. Copy it to wherever you want on your device or SD card
3. Forget about the Load Themes button in Ifonz!
4. Goto settings/background and then look for the background in .png you saved earlier and click "ok/save" whatever
5. Same goes for icons under the Icons tab in settings.
I know I'll catch a beating for posting this but it's so simple that it's hard as hell to do!
Hope this helps anybody as dumb as me out there!
GOD..is that u
ive been sitting here for the past hour and change to try and figure this nonsense out!
thanks bro!

I"ve been getting quite a few pm's regarding this old project of mine, sadly i moved on from the htc blue angel a long time ago, and so i no longer support this project, sorry guys, please stop making request for wvga/wqvga/etc cabs it wont happen, besides editing cpr files is not rocket science, anyways i hope this clears out/stops the PM's i've been getting lately, regarding this project.

the hooneycomb menu was lost on the last 4 public 6.5 builds, so i took the time on bringing the back.
what about the zoom vito?
Does the icons back to normal size or they are big into the hexagons, i would like to bring back the windows or start menu animation.

I like that the icons on your taskbar are all sized and spaced properly in the screenshot. I tried the 21198 build and the icons are unevenly spaced and the "X" was abnormally small. Looked pretty bad. I would definitely go back to a 6.5 sys if I could find one that looked as nice as your screenshot.
This was on a VGA device (Diamond).
Well i will try it... Jejeje
I will try it but I need to restore the icons from the last build from Xplode just resizing them again... and overwrite yours cause the xplodes are pettier... nice shot men!
so do you know how to get back the animations?

I'm sorry , i try to explain... I know that there are two files that are the responsable of the making visible of the exagons, the ones i called with the cpf extension (but they aren't cpf, i don't remember the extension).
Those files have to be put in the windows folder with the corrisponding png files... right?
I was looking for those files.

Does anyone know how to change the lock slider to the bottom like the iPhone? please help. Thanks.
search "S2U2" via google.
problem is I'll slide twice as both two lock screen programs are running
For a start, there is a way to turn off the default lock screen if you're using S2U2
Tip 27 from the Hints and Tips thread (I strongly suggest you read it all)
Tip 27. Disable Auto Screen Lock
If you use S2U2, you would have hated the double lock annoyance. Now you can turn off default Auto Screen Lock.
Go to HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and change DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 0, or use the following cab:

Second, you don't need to use a 3rd party app, you can just run the HeartOfWolf Lockscreen mod in my signature and it'll move the slider to the bottom of the screen for you. I have no idea why they put it at the top?

Can you explain a bit about this one rather than just post the cab please
You can try the HD2 Mini lockscreen cab..it's quite good, just don't use the PIN unlock.
It's slide down to unlock and it tells you any missed calls, SMS, emails etc...i quite like it actually..

You can also take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=632637
At the bottom, the OP posted a modified 480x800 cpr file to do want you want. All you need to do is change the extension from .txt to .cpr, open file explorer and put it in the Windows\Lockscreen file and soft reset.
EDIT:
Also, if you are using the HeartofWolf Mod and would prefer to have the original larger slider size instead of the small skinny one, I've made a few modifications to his LS_LockScene_480x800 and attached it below. All you need to do is change the file extension from .txt to .cpr and install it into your windows\lockscreen file, soft reset and you're good to go. Of course, please back up the original LS_LockScene_480x800 before installing this one, just in case you would like to revert back to the small slider. And of course all credits to HeartofWolf, I just made a couple of changes to his work.

It literally swaps the slider and phone location on the lock screen, nothing more.
Another nice solution is DJ Pete's locksreen. It's a simple modification of the windows lockscreen with manila clock, calendar appointments and slider variations. You can find it at pocketpc.ch in the thread
[Lockscreen] iLook v3.0c [NEUE VERSIONEN!|WM6.5/6.5.x WVGA][27.02.10].

Kandekied, to get you started, go into your windows directory inside file explorer and open the lockscreen folder. Next, copy the file LS_LockScene_480x800 somewhere onto your PC and open it using notepad. That particular file is for Portrait. If you want to modify landscape also, then copy LS_Lockscene_800x480. With the file open on your PC in notepad, you are now ready to begin modifying. The particulars of what you want to do would take alot of space on this post to describe, but to get you pointed in the right direction, I've copied a few threads for you to look at that will help you get started.

You see, this is why I asked for more information about this in the first place. I never install a cab that I've not read about first and that people have tested a bit. You should always link to the thread a cab came from, not just the cab.
Also, chill out. You installed a cab from a random thread and it wasn't what you wanted. If you have to hard reset it's your problem not ours.
If people don't reply to a post it's because they either don't want to or don't know. There is no point in wetting your panties and posting multiple times. It's more likely just to p!ss everyone off and make them not reply.

To be clear...are you talkign about the color of the clock tiles themselves, directly behind the letters? Or the background (wallpaper) on the home tab?
At first I thought you meant the border around the bottom half of the clock, where the weather shows up...but you shouldn't have that on a 6.1 ROM..
the two tone gray background of the clock itself, if it is at all possible without changing the clock numbers. I can swipe my finger "up" and then the numbers on the clock become smaller and the background goes away....thats what im after. and thanks for not railing on me, I may have alot of posts but 97% or more are questions lol but im getting better.

No problem What you're talking about is the clock tiles, and they are certainly replacable with custom ones. The trick is determining exactly what version of TF3D or Sense you have, you'll have to know that to know which custom clocks to look for and download.
Do you have an "About" entry on the "settings" tab? If so it'll tell you what version you have. If you don't see that there, you can just look it up in the registry (I'll show you where)...do you have a regedit app? (Total Commander, PHM_regedit, etc)

I dug around in some clock files and found this for you to try, there is no guarantee that it will work as i cant test it for you, but i looked at in with CFC gui and it looks promising!
It might be a good idea to back up the same file in your rom,
Untick manila in "home settings" then copy the file using TC or something
retick manila and it should show.
I hope it works for you

Ok yeah I have the same version as Tregrad (TF3D 2.1), and that manila file worked just fine on mine when I tested it...it makes the clock tiles 100% transparent.
However, getting that manila file into the right place on your phone takes a little doing...do you (Tregrad) know how to copy files into and out of your phone's /windows directory?
Maybe someone would be willing to cab that up for you to make it easier...but if not, we can show you how to get it on there and working.

there must be a tick box in "Items" Under today settings, and it will be Manila or TF3d or something HTC related! its been so long since i used this ROm i can't remember
So untick whatever it is and then install the cab then retick and it should have overwritten....Good Luck
ok tf3d is ticked, I am going to try the file thing first then if that doesnt work then i will try the cab, thanks.
nope, none of it worked. unticked, ran cab, wanted to restart - let it do so, restarted then re-ticked tf3d and nothing happened?
should i delete the existing file? if it isnt there then it wont want to run it right and since i just want it gone it wouldnt hurt right?
I have to go for now be back in a few hours. thanks again for all your efforts os!

Basically, everything is shaping up nicely.
However, there are two things I can't seem to master.
I want HTC Black as my default theme. I can never get it to work correctly though. I'll cook in the .tsk, but fail to place the image files in the correct place some how, or something goes wrong, because at first boot the stupid att default theme is loaded and everything looks funky. In addition, eventhough I edited the .tsk to place my images as the today and start menu background, they do not show up like that.
Also, my taskbar icons never work. I'm trying to cook in Dark Ninja's Desire taskbar, but it's not working. Icons don't show up at all.
One last, unrelated question.
I want the settings "folder" in my start menu which links to the windows control panel, not sense. How can I do that and remove the sense link?

1. Cooking the theme. Look here and here.
2. Taskbar, change the priority of processing the taskbar package in your kitchen. Probably it gets overwritten and that is why its not showing.
3. Default Settings. Add this as Regtweak:

By priority, I know kind of what you're saying, but when you set priority what does that mean exactly in regards to order in which the package is installed? If it has high priority, it's installed last so it overwrites other files?

The provxml file is important, without it you can't set theme as default on first boot. In the threads that I posted is explanation how to do it properly.
