its for the Excalibur but should work if you find some of the cabs listed. or take the time to follow the tutorials on how to make your own.

Hi !
That may sound obvious, but make sure you look for qvga themes. Found tons of 'em by Google-searching "windows mobile themes qvga".

I've had the same problem as well finding themes for winmo 6.5 standard and 99% of them on xda forum are for touchscreens. the ones I did find require plugins that hog resources and kill battery life. I just want a good theme basic no plugins or anything. any help would be appreciated.

Hi all, I have a theme question

I've done a search of this forum & wiki, and the web, but I can't figure out where to get the themes that you guys have in the screenshots thread.
You all seem to take it as normal but I've no idea how to get started!
BTW, I have OzVGA on my Exec, is that going to be an issue?
If it's possible to convert them, I'd really like my PC's current theme!
(Clicky for big)
P.S. Is there a VGA Windows Media Player theme that gets rid of the nasty black bar at the base of the screen?
I am using Wisbar Advance as are quite a few others. The themes you need a are all over the internet, just google "wisbar theme" and you'll see what I mean.
For true VGA you will generally need to use QVGA themes, sounds daft but trust me.......
Here I'm using a vista theme for WA2 and WMP with the Expea2 extended theme for SPB Pocket Plus off the SBSH forum.
By the way, what XP theme are you using??
Hi Pug ,

Gopi

There is a problem with the WMP skin not keeping it's selection so the patched files are attached here.
Remember if you are using a "normal" display you need the VGA themes, if you are using TrueVGA you will need the qVGA with maybe the WMP VGA skins etc... Confusing but I didn't make the rules.

It's called Allion2 (it's on the dialog box in the screenshot!) There are a few different colour versions, "System" is the nice blue one.

Depends... Things like TF3D themes then No as they are customized for the screen resolution, ie QVGA, WVGA, VGA, so pick carefully or your flobar will be in the middle of your screen.
Top Icons should be a yes, they all use 32x32 ico files within the dll, so it should be ok, but not tested this. However, I did load so many with my Blackstone and they were all fine. Note that there are CMDA versions and GSM versions.
Pictures you will just have to get 480x800 pictures for backgrounds.
Dialer skin or color theme for Touchpro2
Hi guys.. im looking for a Dialer skin or some app for my HTC TOUCHPRO 2 to make my dial pad more colorful as I find the original one v boring..
can anyone pl suggest ?
thnx

ask

hi guys
There is know how to change the display on o2 atom wm5 to be like the iphone? I get a link from http://www.iphonethemeforppc.com/fwppc.php.
there is to discuss how to change the look like the iphone. but I can not download it
There is know how to get the file?
thank you very much
actually u need Wisbar Advance Desktop 2 for running that theme (as mentioned on the site). And WAD2 isn't categorized as a freeware. U can also try using iphonetoday or ifonz (both are free)
search it on development and hacking section
good luck
thanks for suggesting. but I've tried using iphonetoday. I was less satisfied. Can I get a file like I mentioned? because there complete with a finger gesture page switching ...
and others. I've tried to find. but
does not work ... I understand newbie,hehehhehe
I hope all senior here can help me ... thanks a lot
i haven't tried iphonetoday but i ever tried ifonz and WAD2 with iphone skin.
ifonz has better animation than WAD2's, it runs as similar as the real iphone's.
But on WAD2, u can put any images or even just a word that u can use as shortcut/icon to run your apps. That's why it's not free
HTH
just try the new ROM...i thought its better than making your o2 look alike iphone...

Some help please in clarifying my themes options

Ok so I know I'll always have unlimited wallpaper options.
But with this whole TouchFlo 3d thing being new to me obviously the world I know of the old home screens have changed a little. (yes I know I can disable touchflo and have the old back...but I like touchflo).
So I am trying to make sense of what my theme options are for my phone
Tmobile Touch Pro 2 with stock tmobile rom (phone purchased 2 weeks ago)
Windows 6.1
Touch Flo 3D version 2.1
plenty of memory
So what I am asking is a pretty newbish question despite me being a windows mobile user for 6 years.
How the hell do I get new themes now. The whole manila utility has me confused its apparant i cant use it but every theme i seem to find is a manila theme, or it is meant for a WVGA phone like the diamond.
So where can I find some that are Touchflo 3d 2.1 friendly and how do I go about installing them now.
Thanks fellas/ladies hope i dont take up too much of your time with this question
A couple of items you should note:
1. The Touch Diamond's resolution is VGA. The Touch Diamond2 and the Touch Pro2's resolutions are WVGA.
2. Manila and TouchFlo3D basically are used interchangeably.
That said, I've given up on manila themes for now. There are too many manila versions. There's 2.0 (without the weather on the home tab), there's 2.1 (with weather on the home tab), there's 2.5 (ported from HD2), and now there's new versions of 2.5 with documents tab...
Anyway, I suppose the advice is that if the theme is packaged into a cab file, give it a try. If it looks funny on your device, then it's not fully compatible with your manila version. Just uninstall it.
Also, it may be worthwhile to have a look at the link in my signature...
I knew I switched WVGA and VGA thanks for that clarification.
And essentially my options without manila are try and find a theme in a cab otherwise I'll struggle.
I read that manila is not compatable with touchflo 3D 2.1 and above. Or am I missing the whole point of how manila works?
For all intents and purposes, "manila" and "TouchFlo3D" are the same.
"TouchFlo3D" was the marketing term used for the HTC custom interface.
"Manila" is HTC's codename for "TouchFlo3D".
"TouchFlo3D" has since been re-branded as "HTC Sense" to be consistent with their custom UI for their Android devices.
In terms of compatibility, as alluded to before, it depends on the version of Manila on your device and the version the theme was made for.
Are there specific release threads somewhere on here for each version from the creator? I keep constantly running into edits and things like that but I cant find the specific release threads. Thanks for your help so far
I also have the same device only difference is I am running windows 6.5. Just yesterday I downloaded a theme from this same forum. The dusk theme. You'll find it just a page or to past this post. Very simple a lot of cab files. The only trouble Im having is installing the windows media and weather program. But take a look pretty cool theme.
Extracting Theme from another ROM
Ok, so I have a different question. Suppose that I like a theme/icons from one ROM, but like the features/performance from another ROM (and assume they are the same version of sense (2.5 with docs tab.)) Is there a way to extract the theme from the ROM and apply that theme to the other ROM that is installed?
Thanks!!
Ok so the dusk theme is pretty independent (looks like it has manila built in) that should be all I need to start off?

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
