Howdy,
I have an AT&T Fuze w/ the AT&T rom. I downloaded a custom theme and a clock. However, the curtains, and any texting/email/settings menu are all in the dull AT&T silver color. Are there any .cab's out there to change the color of menus besides the TF3D screen?
I do appreciate it!
apparently the all backgrounds on tabs is a bit glitchy too. I had to uninstall that due to everything but the home screen being unreadable
Download a different rom, I don't think you can change those with cabs. Your other bet might be to install a theme.
Asked this in Q&A section, but guess its a bit more relevant to here!
Probs a simple (or stupid ) question, however -
I've just installed the official TP2 update, just wondering how or what triggers the full screen weather effects on the calender/homepage?
I've seen screenshots and vids etc of the full screen effects but haven't actually seen them so far on the today page. Is there specific config or do they just "happen" on their own randomly.
Thanks in advance

I think those are still in beta test phase. THere are a few ROMs here on XDA that have it built in. Look around in the various ROMs and see.
I am using the standard HTC WWE WM6.5 ROM and when I first installed the ROM I noticed the full screen weather animation at the home screen, however I have not seen it since for some reason! I'm not sure why, but it was cool and I want it to come back, not sure how.

Your not the only one. On 1st install, the weather was "foggy" and I got full screen fog. I've never ever seen it since, even though I had other "foggy" days. This is on the stock HTC WWE 6.5 ROM.

Yes, saw the same Could this be a feature of the HTC ROM? Can those using a cooked ROM comment?
dunno if this helps, but I have only seen the weahter animations on the home screen when you have default wallpaper.
As soon as you change to a custom wallpaper the animations stop.

You may be right! I switched back to default HTC wallpaper, put the phone in standby and then when I come out of standby the weather animation appears. Well, if that's true, that kinda sucks that we can't have the animation and the wallpaper of our choice.
The full screen weather animation is only for Leo ROMs which are Manila 2.5/6. The TP2 official update is only to like 2.2 (dunno what it is officially but it's not 2.5/6. Anyhow, you won't get the full screen weather unless you flash a custom ROM (or so I've heard and seen).

I have full screen weather animations with standard HTC WWE 6.5 ROM, but as stated previously, it will only work when default HTC wallpaper is selected.

comfirmed this works.
Tis a shame, even with a basic non animated wallpaper it doesn't work. However least we know the fix/workaround so there is a choice to be had.
kudos to reaper for the heads up.
I'm using the Max Manilla 2.5 Ultimate 1.1 theme (see picture in sig) and it allows
me to chose my own background and still shows the weather animation
on the home screen. You can even trigger the animation yourself by tapping the top left corner of the screen.
Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551489 to find it.
Read through the first 2 posts to see all the options this theme has.

What version of manila? Have you set your own wallpaper or using the default?
<edit> Is there any way to manually change the windows default wallpaper? Might be a quick hack to get a user specified background to work? </edit>
HTC HD MIRI V 13.0 No weather wallpapaer animation at all but weather demo is their nay suggestions?
I agree.
I have been running the custom Energy rom with Manila 2.1 and if I switch back to the HTC Black today theme then I get the full screen animation.
Thats the only one that has the full screen.

I have the latest Photon with 2.5, and if I set the wallpaper to default, and change the theme to HTC Black, then go to my home screen, tap the windows menu, then it back, it will full animate. Had sunny rays shoot out, and now have partly cloudy clouds drift across.
when i used energy photon 2.1 with hdwall for my tab backgrounds i had no problems. using his leo 2.5 and its there as well. i highly suggest using hd wall because some backgrounds seem to cancel out the weather animations
Task Manager
Whenever I hit the task manager in the top right hand corner while on the home tab, it usually triggers it. Hit it twice. Once to bring it up. Once to make it go away. Boom. Weather.
I have the official TP2 update for wm6.5, the weather animation can be activated on the home screen only with the default wallpaper. Also it can be brought up at will in two ways. hitting the windows start button soft or physical and closing it out by hitting the call end/home button or tapping the x in the top right corner immediately.
Hey all,
I've done a search on here for this, but the posts all seem to relate to older versions of WinMo
I have a VF branded HTC TP2 and the font of the start menu is black - which is ok on their theme, but useless for pretty much any other dark back grounds.
Is there anyway I can change the font colour so that it's grey or white?
Many thanks!
Con
wouldn't mind a solution to this myself.not the quickest around the workings of win mo
I'm new to the Windows Mobile environment and have searched for HOURS for a solution to this issue. This has been a very humbling experience
Regardless of the icon set that I use (installed as a Tap Icons component using MaxTTM v4.1), the icons appear cropped (as in attached screenshot). This occurs regardless of the icon set - even for those from the Rhodium forum specifically.
Am I doing something wrong here?
WM 6.5 Professional
ROM (OEM from US Cellular) version 2.01.573.3 (10/16/09)
TF3D v 2.1.19202217.5 (Per MaxTTM Settings tab)
Sorry for such an obviously NOOB question. Please let me know if additional information would help.
Thank you!!!
it is not only you. I got the exact same setup and have the same problems. I have found two sets of icons that work:
Black Slider Icons 6.5 can be found on PPCGeeks by santod:

It's because manila uses the top left corner of the image. Icons in 2.1 and 2.5 sense use only the top left hand corner of their entire 128 by 128 size
The ones you used are centered, so it scaled them up to 128 by 128 and then used only the left hand corner of them. It's just because you're using the wrong kind of icons .
Thank you both for your feedback. I thought it must have been something within Manilla itself because it was such a widespread issue affecting most component addons.
It is frustrating that it is so limited the way it is (albeit still better than Blackberry - a platform I have come to despise).
Someday when I have time/ambition, I it might be worth loading a custom ROM. Until then, thank you for your comments.
Even with those that say for rhodium manila 2.1? huh? will have to look out for it in the future.
I also had the same problem.
The solution is to create a 128 x 128 transparent image, and add as a new layer on top the icon image sized at 64 x 64. They will also need to be offset slightly.
As I cant post a link because I'm a newbie, run a search in the forum for the thread headed:
'New custom tab icons for slider of HTC Stock ROM Sense 2.1'
Post #14 amongst others.
Hope this helps.
i tend to find the themes just change the top and bottom bars.is there a way to change the white background when you access the windows mobile part of the device?
I guess this is not possible then? Everyone must be content with the plain dull White windows mobile b/g?..MODS can you transfer this article over to the themes and apps please might get some hope over there
I doubt most of us delve into WinMo enough to care.
Not only that, would you be able to read the text with a darker colour or pattern?
Thanks, Possibly most users aint interested but it's really bugging me. If only i could change it because it looks so bland!
short version: try "ui tweaker" (lets you adjust windows theme related colors, look, and feel)
long version: there are some TSK files available that give the effect you desire. however most of these work well with WM6.1 and earlier. same goes for "ui tweaker", but these same approaches don't work well with WM6.5 and later. this is largely because WM6.5 has newer, different, bigger GUI control elements.
if you choose the ui tweaker approach, rp-x1 is correct because you would indeed have to play with a whole bunch of colors on a whole bunch of GUI elements before you'll be able to get the contrast right.
hey thanks man, it sounds difficult but il give it a go..have you tried it yourself?
i have used ui tweaker many times to change the selection highlight colors and what not when i was using WM6.1 ROMs on my kaiser. i even once tried exactly what you are looking for
i found the WM6.5 themes to be a much more improved bunch, so never felt the need to customize them further, though i wouldn't mind a white-on-black theme some time, like a "negative" of the GTX themes, that would be stellar!
i tried uitweaker but it doesnt give the option to change the white background!! i tried another app called settings+ that didnt also -but they are quite handy to tweak windows side of things
forgot to add..the white background remains but i managed to add some colour to tabs at the bottom and every box is highlighted i've also changed the font it makes a massive difference to me thanks
!! the white background is no more!!! haha i've managed to change it with uitweaker...thanks again
