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

nice find on the cab, but a couple of similiar cabs have already been posted in the skins thread for manilla 2d. You can also manually edit the xml and change rows and columns number in the launcher widget area, the only limit I found was when I tried to make a single column, touchflo would quit and have to be reloaded. For rows I have 20 currently.

Thinks !!!!!!!
I know have Master Release Cab Fils

I managed to edit HtcHomeSettings.xml to make it 4 columns. But, all the columns are stuck right next to each other. How do you create space between the columns?
Thanks in advance.

Hey TWOlf,
I wanted to use your Vista theme because it looks so great, but does the Weather icon and other icons get cut off at the bottom like is shows in the screenshots?

yes, but it wasnt accidental, it was on purpose... I could have resized all like the clock and internet.

[Theme development question] - signal state icons - asking the best of you

Hi, I trying create the black status bar icons set for use with white themes and I foun hard to change signal state icons...
my question is : anybody knows how to add for example 7 line of indicator of signal state like this....
{
"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"
}
but my primary question is how to skin this signal state icons f.e. black red and so on...
I stuck here:
changed colour of signal state but it seems like the signal state icons appears like "transparenting" status bar, because it also changes default white background on programs dialogs...
Any suggestions ?????

other pics...
for illustration of my problem...

If I am not mistaken, the signal icons are all contained in the shellres.96.dll.mui file. I remember seeing them while I was looking for the battery icons (I wanted to do the same as you but with the battery).
Hope this helps.

some months ago i changed some system colors with sktools, also the background color of wm. I also found out that wm uses this backgroundcolor for both, signal and background, so i see no way to manage this Problem without changing both so welcome to the the world of unlogical confusing programming:windows mobile. Try it with a light or middle grey for both.

the registry key is:
HKLM\System\State\Phone\Signal Strength
but then you have to create your own taskbar with something like homescreen plusplus
or you try wisbar
i am currently working on the same. i create my own taskbar with homescreenplusplus
just in case you need more keys:
HKLM\System\State\Phone\Cellular System Available
HKLM\System\State\Phone\Cellular System Connected

all right

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)
{
"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"
}
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.......

SPB 3 and standard WM6

hey guys,
wonder if this possible, i love the the new SPB3 but is there anyway to take out the start and bar at the top of the page the standard WM6, cause looks really nice then you have the standard ugly bar at the top
If it is possible can you explain in detail, cause not a great 'Hacker' as such
thanks in advanced
Shane

Even if there is away to disable the start button and take it out, leave the bar with the sound, and signal etc just want to take the start button and wording away??

there is an option to do that in the spb shell settings

making the start button go away isnt difficult, just install wisbar advance and then find a theme that you like

I just have a little "theme" on the bar that makes it completly black and i dont even notice it:
{
"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"
}
Take the theme, unrar it and paste it on the Windows folder.

found it, in the settings, then spb mobile shell, then system in there is a start override, change to yes, click tick and the fone will restart. it doesnt completed get rid of the task bar, but when you click start it opens the spb menu rather than the standard one?
not completely solved the problem but has made it better. cheers
