Changing top icon colors.

I need some help. I am trying to put some stuff together to make my phone cool but I need to know if I can change the color of some of the icons on the top bar? You can see in my screenshot what I need.

This is really cool man. rltoday ?
The Icons are graphics and you can found them in windowsFolder. think you have to change the colors of the graphics an then put it back in windows folder.

Yes, it is rltoday running inside UltimateLaunch. Soon as I get it all figured out I will post everything.

I can not find these icons in the windows folder. What names should I be looking for?

They are at the Windows dir

Look for the bmp files in the Windows directory, some of them are gprs.bmp, gprs_snc_PPC.bmp, gprs_connect.bmp

i see u like the styling of Bell&Ross lol

Yes, I do like the styling of Bell&Ross. I made the skin for Retro clock and just kept on going.

Thanks for everyones help but tracking down those icons is not as easy as it sounds. So I decided to go a new direction using Wisbar Advance Desktop.

Wow, nice job with the design... looks great.

nice! this was your best option as the signal bars take the background color, so even if you found the required icons, you'd need to change your background for your windows to blue in order to get everything to match.

you cant find the icons because there are none. to edit the colors of the signal bars, data arrows, etc.. you have to edit .dll files. i cant remember which .dll files off the top of my head but i think one of them is tapre96.dll somethin like that. use reshacker to edit the .dll files

"SaFF" - Clock today plugin for XIAMultiTheme - Orientation Aware!

== Small and Finger Friendly ==
This is a clock area today plugin I made to compliment UltimateLaunch. Originally it was an rlToday plugin, but I have moved on to XIAMultiTheme (XMT).
It is an ongoing work, there will be improvements, probably VGA versions etc, but it is certainly ready for use now, so I am releasing it.
Current version: 0.9
You will need:
XIAMultiTheme (version GREATER than 0.06 - the nightly builds are later than 0.0.6 if 0.0.7 is not out yet)
MortScript must be installed if you want to hear beeps when you press the BT / WiFi buttons
That's it!!
Installation:
1) Install XMT and Mortscript.
2) Extract SaFF zip to PC, upload the SaFF folder inside to the XMT themes folder on your PPC (Extras is source images etc, you dont need that on PPC)
3) Copy all .ttf files from the extras folder to the \Windows folder on your PPC
4) Select SaFF as active in the XMT config app
5) (Optional) Set the registry type of the SaFF plugin to Type 5 to make always on top (see readme.txt in zip)
Planned improvements and changes:
===========================
Different colour icons as well as the blue.
Clock font as PNGs with transparency
Prefraction of backgrounds behind the rounded buttons / backgrounds
Removing reliance on mortscript to make beeps
I AM NOT AN ARTIST SO IF YOU ARE AND WANT TO CONTRIBUTE IMAGE SETS THEN LET ME KNOW !!

I am currently working on a new version for VGA.
I am also looking to improve the graphics somewhat - all graphics are just PNG files so any artist wanting to try and skin SaFF, let me know - it is very easy. BlueMetalAxe supplied me with a button template which helped, maybe I can persuade to do me a complete skin job
Here is a preview:
I have no new version of the landscape VGA skin yet, I am toying with how to do it as the larger BT / WiFi buttons in portrait mean I would need seperate images for the landscape buttons or standardise on size. I am thinking the former.

I have decided on layout, so all I need do is gussy up the graphics. I re-did the clock font, and am pretty happy with that now.
Here is the new layout (For both Portrait and Landscape) with slightly improved graphics. Has been mangled somewhat by the screenshot utility but you get the idea...
[Edit] I dunno why, in the SS, the counter for mail in the portrait layout has a couple of numbers stacked on top of each other (The top one is a 4) - this does not happen in normal usage, I think it only happens just after you switch orientation.

Clock font as PNGs with transparency
looking forward to this feature, then i can make a nixie clock on my home screen!!

My White ThrottleLauncher TF3D skin :)

Okay. I made a white/black theme. Here is the home ss:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is with the flash clock
Notes:
Non-flash clock is black and a bit messed up
Black Large icons
White buttons
On music page - flipped volume up and volume down keys (Vol + is on the left and Vol - is on the right)
Silver/White/Black Back and icons on landscape
Comm Manager - In the process of changing the last two icons and adding the words on and off.
Programs and Settings - White back to icons. In the process of creating new icons for Settings.
See attached pictures for what I mean
If you have suggestions, feel free to post them here.
Here's my files: Link
Instructions:
1. Backup original TouchFlo3D folder in \ThrottleLauncher\Setups.
2. Download my modified TF3D file.
3. Disable ThrottleToday in Start>Settings>Personal>Today>Items.
4. Extract to \ThrottleLauncher\Setups.
5. Go back to settings and enable ThrottleToday.
6. Enjoy!

very good really
thanks alot for sharing this

A little peak on an update

hoooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww tks....

hmm... perhaps you can put it in a subdirectory under the skin, and named it as Bright under the tf3d directory. Of course, xml editing need to be done.
Alternatively, you can even create another directory similar to Touchflo3d.
Well done, and keep up the good work!!

Great work!! Thanks!!

How did you change your windows logo on the start menu I like yours about 100000 times more than the normal one

I actually use Garmin's roms. You can ask him how to change the logo. I think it's a png file attached to a .dll

Nice work. Keep it up

some questions about home customization

1) Is it possible to change date position? I would move it to the same bar of operator logo? (as the arrow indicates)

}
2) is it possible to change the colour of this 2 windows mobile bars? It would be great to make them transparent
3) can I change the default operator logo
with a much colored one like this one on this pic? (yes I know is an iphone screencap )

same here. i think the date looks better at the top left as it was on the diamond. unfortunately, i have no idea how to change this though.

You can change the clock using cabs that were made for the Diamond, not sure about any of the other things. Maybe it's possible to edit some of the manila files.

Where did you get the cab for the transparent clock?

you cannot make the wm bars tranasparant that i have seen. You can change their color my using a theme in WM (not to be confused with a theme in the TF3D app).

I've the same question's
now is it possible?

sorry for thread diggig, any solutions yet? i'm figuring how to move the date up

Changing Operator Logo.
Steps to change Operator Logo:
1.Find 256x64.png file in your windows folder and edit it with your own logo.
2.Replace the original file with the modified one (Use Resco File Explorer).
3.Restart.
Find the attached image, i changed my STARHUB logo to my name.

Would really like to know how to move the date too!! Its much better up the top!

Hi shamsul,
but I can't found that "256x64.png" file.......

[Q] How to make the background transparent when scrolling within TF3D?

Hi, i wanted to make the curtains transparent, so i got NoCurtains.cab from some thread here, but when i start scrolling between the buttons (home, people, internet etc.) the whole screen goes darker except for the bottom curtain.
To describe better what i mean i included a screenshot:
{
"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"
}
Notice how the bottom curtain is transparent while the rest of the screen is dark. This is even more visible on the phone itself so my question is: is it possible to make the whole screen overlay transparent when scrolling? Or maybe there is mod already made for that, but i cant find it anywhere.
Also i tried some other mods that make the curtains transparent, but none of them made any difference.
Thanks in advance

I've been looking for this too, or if you could just make the bottom curtain the same "tinted" look but still keep the transparent slider/curtain.

To make the transparency amount the same, i will need to find the image files of the overlay, but if i find them, i will make them fully transparent so..
edit: im using the manila editor, but i cant find the images that are displayed when scrolling between the tabs. Does anyone have idea which images are displayed in this condition?

cheers bud, this one works, but the previous file still shows as a damaged file even now, well for me it does anyway!!!!

I've a Vodafone HTC Touch Diamond. I want to know how to remove the white shade while sliding between the pages. There some Panorama background and it doesn't look good while I sliding it. Are there transparent manila file somewhere? I can't find it in this forum.
The manilafile I found here doesn't work.
Thank you
