Launch manager VGA default skin modification - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi ,
I use Launch manager as program launcher and have modified the default VGA skin , to have 4 icons per row instead of 3 icons per row .
However , I still have a tiny problem , still don't know where in the skin file : I have a blank in the 2nd row .
Attached my humble contribution and see if someone can find the mistake in the skin file
Thanks

Give color to HTC_HOME

You must have HTC_Home instaled...
Chose the color and icons that you want!
!!!!! -> Before installing new colour icons, the Transparent bezel fix, HTC Home plugin spotlight or the Coloured clock digits, YOU MUST disable the HTC Home plugin from your today screen (untick box in start>settings>personal>today>items>HTC home).
Replace the files of your instalation (normaly in "Windows" folder or in some cases in the folder "HTCHome"...) if you can't find the files to replace it's because you don't have HTC_Home installed!
you can only install one clock colour at a time. Soft reset to make sure, then retick the box to display your new today screen!
I hope you like it!
Here is a screenshot as an example...
Thye HTC Home Customizzer posted in these forums does that and a whole lot more, and it replaces everything for you.
Thanks Tunekas for ur creativity!!!!!
thank's dear for your support
Great work!!

slidding program launcher using throttle launcher?

I was wondering if someone is willing to help with this?! ( I don't know if there's a similar software)
I edited the config file of throttle launcher and basically deleted everything and only kept the lower slider setup. I put links to my own softwares and also links to the icons I wanted ==> what I got is a COOL software launcher that I can use as a today pluggin!
See pic I attached (I drew in the red/yellow box => that's the icon that shows up when sliding on the lower menu, but for some reason i can't capture it when taking a screen shot)
What I'm having problem with is:
- having it show up in ultimatelaunch
- the height must be at least around 150pixels for the icon that pops up above the menu to show (150 pixels is a lot of space)
- can I get the background transparent?
I hope that APBilbo don't mind this...
this actually is a good idea...
about the transparency: have u tried editing the png images and make them transparent, using a prog like GIMP? or maybe it doesn't work that way.

Why I will mind ?
In fact throttlelauncher started just beeing a program launcher app with photocontacts posibility.
Ok, lets go with your problems.
- About the transparency, you have to set transparency = true param on the skin.xml file your row or setup is using.
- To make it work inside UL, seems like UL doesn't act exactly like the today screen while embeding today plugins. After starting UL with Throttle embeded you have to manualy start the app "ThrottleTodayPlugin.exe" located on the throttlelauncher folder instalation. It should work .
If you're also interested, there's a only photo dialer setup at my forum to achieve the same that you have with programs with photocontacts . In fact, you can mix them having programs first on the ribbon and after some of your contacts .

Also if you don't want the icon preview showing, you can try using the scrollingmodes "Paged" or "Kinetic".
Hope this helps...

[APP] Manila Customizer - Customize Clocks, Icons, Sliders etc [15 May] New Version

I decided to write a Manila Customizer that will work Similar to HHC for Kaiser.
The app can be unzipped anywhere but i suggest \Internal Storage\Program Files\ManilaCustomizer
The Clocks are stored in Whatever path\ManilaCustomiser\Clocks
The Icons are stored in Whatever path\ManilaCustomiser\Icons
The Sliders are stores in Whatever path\ManilaCustomizer\Sliders
The TopCurtains are stores in Whatever path\ManilaCustomizer\TopCurtains
The BottomCurtains are stores in Whatever Path\ManilaCustomizer\BottomCurtains
The app will look for a .jpg file in order to be able to display and add a Clock theme and same goes for icons etc
So if you want to add a clock Called FireLighter then simply Create a Folder :
\Whateverpath\ManilaCustomizer\Clocks\Firelighter <-The Folder where the Manila Files are
\Whateverpath\ManilaCustomizer\Clocks\Firelighter.jpg <- The image that will be displayed
Note the Jpeg and the folder has to be the exact same spelling.
If the system finds a .jpg it will look for a folder by the same name and move all those files into \Windows upon selecting the Clock Set.
Same goes for the Icons and all others
There are a few special files in \ManilaCustomizer\*.txt. When an Item is applied the files for the Item (eg Clock) is stored in these files and when a new Item is applied it will first delete the files from the previous Item and then Apply the new Item (was changed to work this way in ver 0.6)
Please give feedback. Thanx
Ok i decided to split it into three parts for now. Application , Clocks, Icons.
So unzip Clocks into WhateverPAth\ManilaCustomizer\Clocks and same with icons
IVe only tested this on original installed black Manila on WWE Rom
Credit goes to the Following People so far who Supplied Clocks and Icons
NisseDILLIGAF
Panosha
lexxirae
ProphecyXR
doc31 - Sticker Icons
skilty - Added a zip file with three new sets of everyting. Very nice
If there are some clocks here that belong to anyone please pm me and ill add your name to the credits
Done :
Clocks \ManilaCustomizer\Clocks
Icons \ManilaCustomizer\Icons
Sliders \ManliaCustomizer\Sliders
TopCurtains \ManilaCustomizer\TopCurtains
BottomCurtains \ManilaCustomizer\BottomCurtains
Please Check Post two. Delete the whole app before reinstalling. Fixed all Clocks etc
Wanna Say Special thanx to NisseDILLIGAF for his help. I dont know much about Manila files but he has helped me a lot
The ManilaCustomizer.Zip file includes 2 samples of every item cause some people dont understand the directory structure to well. Hope this helps
Garp69 Took it upon himself to maintain all graphics for this app And Im Very Thankfull for him for that please have a look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2891202#post2891202
New version on next post
ChangeLog
Ver 0.1 - Initial Test Version, Only First Tab Worked for Clocks
Ver 0.2 - Added Icons Tab and Made it functional
Ver 0.3 - Rewrote Whole app and made it finger friendly.
- All Tabs Working Now, Clocks,Icons,Sliders,Top Curtain,Bottom Curtain
Ver 0.4 - Manilla Automatically Disabled at Start of Program and Started on Program Exit by using this app : http://www.ictinus.com/NoPluginsToday/
Ver 0.5 Fixed Finger sliding (was working wrong way around)
- Added Option to remove all manila files in windows
Version 0.5 Included Top/Bottom Curtains and Sliders in Manilacustomizer05.zip Please delete all old clocks and icons and curtains and sliders. I fixed all problems i think and old files might cause complications
Ver 0.6 Changed the way the thesmes are handled. It seems like to many different clocks, Icons and sliders use too many different files. The system will now store the files to be deleted for every item. SO when a new Item is applied it will delete all the files from the previous Item before applying new files, then store the new files and delete them again next time a new item is applied. No new files required it will use ResetClock.txt etc
Ver 0.7 Alot was changed. So please delete all files and folders and unpack the main zip files
System will now backup any item before it will apply a new one
Option to Restore from last backup
All manila files can be backed up (Not really recommended because it can be over 1000 files and take 8meg - im looking for a better colution)
Confirmation added before Resetting all manila files
Slide option is changed so when last item is reached it will got to first one and when first is reached it will jump to last
Version 0.8 Item Backup and Restore working 100%
Complete Manila backup will look at rom date and backup all manila files thats different so backup can be as little as 2 files if onl a clock was changed instead of backing up all manila files.
Manila Restore working perfectly as well
Version 0.9 Added Backgrounds and Touch Focus. Still busy with better backup solution. Look for Panorama Backgrounds on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3412257&postcount=748
Uninstall old version and reinstall new one, you wont loose any of ur custom items
Another one
Busy with at the moment :
Added Touch Focus Colours - Done
Added WallPaper Change option - Done
Adding Custom Option so people can have own special settings etc. Will be added Under Clocks/Sliders/Etc will also have an undo option for that
Adding functionality so one can enter a name when backing up full manila so custom themes can be backed up and restored....would be nice for saving multiple favourite looks.
Great application, thank you
good idea, thanks for sharing
Dude...you're the man.....
Great applications...Will try it soon.....
Thanx man !!!
Cool
Please tell me what other Hacks/Custmizations can be added
Grumps you can take all my icons themes (here) they are all in zip files (directly manila files)
i work to make zip manila files for my clocks
ok man i tried it ...and i found some bugs...(i don't know if you just know this bugs)
PS: I have an italian ufficial ROM
1)If I want to put a flip clock the clock flip veryveryvery fast...and appear "T-mobile" instead the mine.
2)There isn't the manilla files for the analog fire clock xD only the pic
3)The "Help" button in "Option" doesn't work
Sorry i didn't try the icon yet...but I will do it soon
EDIT: ok man i tried the icons...and that works perfectly
Anyway....great work man!!!

10x very much. it's a great program.
I'll check it later.

1. change the entire background in manila (a checkbox)
2. if u can integrate the tool that choses the default calender, dialer, sms....

1. I will do this as soon as its working on analog clocks as well
2. Do you mean to reset everything to default?
Great idea, keep going.
all my themes have the slider ( you can see it in pictures)
the slider : 1e29e8e7_manila
i've got an idea :
make the choice to have the background behind the icons and the background of provider and date (black, colored, semi transparent or not)
background icons : 1864da05_manila
background provider and date : 18c460d8_manila

Ok im confused i dont know much about the inner workings of Manila.
If you say background icons, background provider and date can you be more specific to what it is exactly then i can do that.
Im going to ad invisible top/bottom bar next and different sliders
Thanx bud

[/URL][/IMG]
1 - is top bar or provider background : the file associat is 18c460d8_manila
2 - is the bottom bar or icons background : the file associat is 1864da05_manila
3 - is the slider off course. the file associat is 1e29e8e7_manila
i hope you understand me
Awesome..
Well done Grumps.
Was waiting for a programmer to tackle the whole customisation of the TouchFLO 3D interface.
I have a rapidshare premium account at your disposal when your project is completed.
Is there any chance of changing the weather graphics in this as well?, extra tab would be good to i.e calander tab, missed call, comm-manager etc.
Once again a big thank you from all at XDA-Developers..
Thanx

[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
