Windows Mobile 5.0 Themes???

I haven't found any info on this matter...
I have tons of WM 2003SE tsk themes, but... they don't work with WM 5.0 in my Universal...
Do you know where can I find compatible themes? I tried wisbar advance desktop, but it is still in beta... I'm looking for simple tsk themes that work in WM 5.0
Any help would be appreciated.

Someone posted this a while back, I beleive you need the Pocket PC SE VGA to work with the Universal. I have not tried it yet, so do post back if they do work.
http://www.wmthemes.com/default.aspx

It doesn't work. The lower two softkeys don't change their colour, and the wallpaper appears like grey, even if it has... every colour of the rainbow.
I'm really surprised that M$ hasn't announced a theme maker for WM 5.0... And more surprised that there are only 1-2 themes available for WM 5.0 devices...
Really unfortunate...

Try this one:

try mine. i've been playing for a while. some of them are really cool. tell me what do you guys think??? rename the extention to .tsk
More to come....

svyatko you rock! Excellent themes at last!!! Send more plz!
How did you make them my friend? With what kind of software?
Thanx also for the other links to the other friend who post them

Hi svyatko,
Are you using a launcher? How did you get to show so many icons on your screen?
What is the colorful round icon near the battery icon?
Very nice themes. How did you create them?

Great themes svyatko!
I dont seem to have the additional icons!
Do I need to install flash or anything?

guys thanks for your comments. Now, all icons I have , are RESCO TODAY PLUG-IN. it's pretty cool. and it doesn't slow the system like SPB POCKET PLUS one. The icon in the corner next to the battery is POCKET INFORMANT icon.
and regarding the software I am using, its something like McDEV Theme creator. I can't remember the axact name, coz i'm @ work, sneakely writing from my Exec ;-))

yess! The program is ThemeMaker McDeb and it works...
At last I made my own themes based on the ones provided here! Thanx again my friend, it works great.

i'm glad you made it. the only problem I find difficult to solve is the dimentions of the picture. no matter how I tried, the picture gets cut in landscape or in portrait modes. it's obviously not a big deal in an abstract pictures, but in something more precise, that is a great pain in the ass...

Do you have a link for the resco today plugin?

It is colourful, u r the man!
Thanks for sharing

Glad you liked it.
Indeed... it is quite colorful
MS is going quite bold with colors for win 6.5.. but I like it

I like the blue one, very similar to udK's R6.
just nice and cozy.

@arkavat
nice enhancements there
i have a note for you though
the topaz and rhodium use a different version of HTC menus
The one you posted is for the topaz
Here is my glossy black for the rhodium, you can use it as a base for the layout

Hi,
these should be in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3628390#post3628390
it is everything to do with WM6.5 designer themes and the extras, first post is the actual themes and the second if for all other WM6.5 extras.
would anyone mind if i added this stuff to the collection.
keep designing new stuff here but can i add the completed/tested stuff to my post?
thanks in advance!

@mystic genious

From what i understood it is Rhodium menu enhancements to compliment WM6.5 themes, and the title of the thread is "[THE] WM 6.5 Theme Colours..."
Also, regardless of whether people are going to use these on WM6.5 or WM6.1, the same files get replaced in both versions of windows therefore the thread should just be called "rhodium/topaz colour enhancements"
WM6.5 themes dont work on WM6.1 so why have the matching colour enhancements? which is why i asked!!
I can still post links to them in my thread though right?

The colour enhancement is a pack of files modified by an user for matching colours of WM6.5.
It'll work even on WM6.1 because it is only a file replacement for HTC Rhodium that works on 6.1!

sure. I did think of posting them in your thread, but as kholk pointed out.. these can be used in Win 6.1 as well.
However, I agree with you that they will be primaraily used for win 6.5. Please go ahead and post these in your thread also. I will continue to update them here and notify you, so you can update as well. and/or you can add a link to this thread.
@ Giannis86
Thanks! I will start working on them as well.

You the search button, after that you'll figure out that that is a stupid question. People only have mad themes that look like Scene UI for programs like SPB Mobile Shell and Wisbar

I don't know how to delet this

But it would bevery nice
There are not such things as stupif questions, only stupid awnsers

Is your rom dumpable? If it is not dumpable then there could a probs to take it out, May b some experts can do.

its original
my friend bought it.he gave it to me because he dosent use x7510 anymore

Neither a cab nor an oem exist for HTC Sense. Sense is an Android interface and is not for WinMo. Please search before posting. Also, there are stupid questions. They are the ones you can answer yourself. Like this one was.

Wrong! Manila 2.5 (from the HTC HD2) is also called HTC Sense - it's even written on the phone case.
AFAIK there's a Manila 2.5 for QVGA somewhere on this forum...

@ Broman400,vicie,Nagrom Nniuq
Plz read the above post . So then who is stupid,and who has not use the search button, dont be too smart unless u use the search button ! Dont act smart coz fools will be like dumbs forever.ho ho.

Updated first post
Manila 2.5,Manila2.6.
The question is will it work for ur device?

HTC HD2 is coming with a port of Sense for WinMo. So just wait on that kid. People are just rude sometimes.

If you meant Manila you should have said that. Either way, you still could have solved your problem by searching. However, I highly doubt the Leo UI was what you were talking about since that has been talked about extensively (or maybe you missed that) and looks nothing like Sense from Android. Also, it doesn't work on QVGA (only just being ported to VGA). Anyhow, good luck with your cooking. Please share your knowledge and what you produce with the community when you get your ROM cooked up so we can all partake in you giving something back.

How to change the Softbar/"Bottom bar"

Hi Guys!
I have been searching for days how to change the style of the softbar/bottom bar (not the taskbar) of my TP2.
But somehow i could not find anything!!!
please help me or pm me the link of a thread!
thank you very much!
scrut

???
nobody that can help me?

how are you trying to change it... different themes will change the color and you could change what programs are linked to them but thats about it on wm6.5 and under. But if your using wm 6.5.x you have more options

so what options do i have then? i still have this problem and it seems that nobody has an solution for that!
thank you!

There's some pretty good looking ones in the thread at the link below...I've used several of them and I love em!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5807605

It is only changeable with wm 6.5. Wm 6.1 softbar is not changeable.

cool!
that is what i have been searching for!
does the installation erase the original bars?
just in case that i can go back to the basic version
thank you very much!

PLEASE help! I'm at my wit's end!

So I found out I've been posting in the European HD2 forums, so now that I'm in the right place, I've been wanting to change the appearance of my taskbar on my HD2.
Ideally, I would like to have my start menu button resemble that of the Start Menu button on Windows Vista / 7, and I would like to be able to edit the other icons on the taskbar as well. I have no idea how to make this happen, I've gotten a few ideas but it all seems overly complicated, like editing .DLLs and things like that.
I'm willing to take that plunge, I just need someone that's willing to help out. I'm seeing all kinds of uploaded screenshots of the HD2 with the taskbar laid out virtually how I want it, but I just don't know how to do it!
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Flash a rom that looks the closest to what you want would be my advice.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Just install a theme.

Honestly, you will probably have better luck posting in the euro hd2 section.... there's more people there and it's the same phone. I find more knowledgeable people there, plus the hd2 apps section is there. You're probably gonna do best just finding a skin you like... there's tons out there to change the icons many different ways. Search the hd2 apps section and the windows mobile themes and apps sections.

Thank you guys! I appreciate your responses, when I get home from work tonight I'll research the options I was given.

What you're looking for is a taskbar icon set... they're often included in custom ROM's and themes, but you don't have to go through all that to get one as almost every taskbar set thats found in one of those is also available as a stand-alone cab. In addition to the HD2 themes section, be sure to search through the main WM Themes section at xda to find other options too.
I don't know exactly which ones you've seen that you liked, but here's some of the most commonly-used ones on the HD2:
Dinik's Anastasia taskbar
Dafunk2's NGTV taskbar
Brian's taskbar, gfreek edition
Phoenix's B&W taskbar

You guys are amazing, thank you so much for all of your help!

A few pictures of what you like would be helpful. I am using the dinik anastasia one right now...Just make sure you read everything thoroughly and you should be ok...I have also used this one when I was running the GTX theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=626188
