Using another Home Screens will solve your problem. Check this out: http://www.kooldezine.com/Q.htm
You can download bunch of cool Screens from that website.
Yes and how to apply all that homescreens also to the phone application? If I do that, the phone app is still green which is not very nice.

Well, you can change the settings in "Settings>Home Screen>Color scheme".
Then the color scheme won't follow your recent-applied Home Screen again.
Thank you all!!!

Guys please look into that attachements, pls start with:

Not at all,but i found from gfwyzxj new home screens.
By the way can someone tell me how can i put the allDay event plugin at the xml default green home screen(htc s620)?
I would highly recommend looking at a homescreen you have on your device. Once you find it, copy it to your PC and copy out JUST that section to the homescreen you plan on having as your default.
By going in and finding, copy, and pasting, you will get a basic understanding of how XML works. After that, you can keep an eye on other homescreens and "borrow" things you like from it.
We could do it for you VERY easily, but it would be beneficial and almost as easy for you.
Good luck!

I was just looking for a little advice on how to move some of the items on the sliding panels.
All I want to do is change the order of them, instead of having Missed Calls - Voicemail - Text Messages - Email, I would rather have it as Text Messages - Email - Missed Calls - Voicemail.
What would I need to edit this? What file? Where?
Do I need any specific software or can it be done with something like notepad2?

as far as i know you cant modifiy the order...atleast not yet. I could and proabably be wrong

Sorry, but it's not possible to do that with the current knowledge we have of the panels. Maybe later... who knows...
What about getting it to have dark text, or dark graphics? I would really love to be able to do something with some lighter homescreen backgrounds Im working on.

yeah man, goto home screen > Color scheme > Text: black
I Havnt Tested Rickys V9 And Below(but In Version10 For Sure)
In Your Settings-homescreen-color, You Can Select Black Or White Text, I Doubt This Changed The Start Bar Color But I Didnt Pay Attention... (also, Play Around With The Settings And Everything Else On The Phone...i Found Different Clock Options And Im Extremely Happy With This Version!)
could this be added to chome
Im on Ricky's v.4 at the moment, I was wondering what the technical method was of adding the black text, so I could preload it into a color scheme, appropriate to a given default wallpaper, button color, etc.

Hey you, black text? see attachment
extract...you know where it goes
AH, I get it now. I had been meaning to flash when I convenienly frozed my phone. It adds the black (or, white) text to the last picked color scheme. Nice!
Okay, now how do I mod the panels to black, and the icons in the top left corner of each? any starting spot? I didnt find anything that looked like a good lead in the .cpl or the .home...
Thanks, gang.
for the order of items in the panel, this might be useful:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2068381
not sure if this is true for all but whenever I set the text on a theme to 000000 it comes out jagged so i would suggest using 222222 or 111111...dark enough and not jagged.
I'm tempted to make a new thread, but this so seems like the right place. I've got the text themes working. Very well. I now can make my home screen a dizzying mess!
I am sure there is a way to make the panels themselves dark. Is it in a .dll in \windows? I cannot get some of them to copy, like, all the onse I want to pick at. Not that I am sure that my skills with ResHack are up for it. Anyone else interested?
I've got your chomebar.zip, now i am trying to integrate it.
As promised here's what I was able to come up with for a WM7 look theme, for our beloved Sliding Panels
If you want this look, install the .cab below. If you don't like it, uninstall the cab. Simple as that.
Any ideas for improvement are, of course, welcome!
p.s. The cab should prompt you to reboot after it installs. Please reboot to see the changes.
p.s.s Cab updated to include the prettier time icon shown in the screenshots.
Uploaded variations to the defaut cpanels. A light blue and a purple version. Install using the .cabs below and your panels will change colors after a reboot
CAB updated for better handling of appointments with a lot of text.

All I can say is wow what a beautiful look for the sliding panels. I got to this thread from your post in a thread in the Vox forum. Please make a Landscape/Portraite switching version for the Vox.
Roland
Wow, I like it. I hope you can make this portrait as well
.......................nice
I really like the sides, very very clean and sharp, I would use if they were clear panels.
also..
cant get my clock to look like yours, its a generic white clock.
I have red X for Myfaves icon-I dont know what happened but it is not there when I removed WM7 setting either- damn
my task bar looks like it always has not like yours
maybe ill reload it.
Sharp looking, it's even a hair better than some of what I've seen of WM7, in the drop shadows. Think it will find a way into Ricky's v.2x?
Oh sorry. Didn't realize not everybody has my custom clock icon in the windows directory. DOH! I will update the cab to include that .png in a few minutes.
I COULD make the panels clear. I was thinking of making them a little more "airy" and having a bolder backdrop effect, to simulate the effect of the panel gliding over the background.
Didnt have enough room to upload the centered cabs in the main post, so here they are. These will change the clock panel slightly, to center the operator name and the wifi networks, on the screen. Enjoy.

How to uninstall?
Uninstall the cab ?
I really like this .cab. It looks great on my phone. Thanks for your time.
The only thing I dont like is the clock face looks blurry on my phone. Do you know wherr I can find a better pic?
Again. Thanks for posting this..
I updated the cab in the first post to install the time icon from the screenshots. Please redownload and reinstall Thanks.
Sweet...thanks
is the background wallpaper available?
Sure... why not
Couldn't attach it directly as it's bigger than 20k, so I zipped it.
ack...shadow or this....ACK!!!!!
ARRRRRRRRRRGGHHHH ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
oh wait. do u know of any memory loss on this theme? cuz my regular sliding panels, i get noticeable memory loss. like when i reboot, i get like 20mb of free memory right, but maybe few hours later, 15mb free. and it would go down more during 2 or 3 days then i have to reboot to get it back up.
what u think? any1?
This is CHome with a different look... it's not really a theme. It's just Chome with a different look. So whatever "problems" you had with Chome, you'll have with this look as well. I reboot my phone at least once a day, you don't ?! And who cares if you go down to 15 megs, as long as you're not down to like 1-2.. you're fine.

well, to be able to to play Nintendo and SEGA, i need at least 9-10mb free memory or it'll lag too bad or it wont play at all. and no, i dont reboot once a day. i try to reboot once a week or less.
thanks its so much better than green.
I believe S2U2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412418) is an awesome application and it's a shame A_C isn't actively trying to make it work better with smartphones, as well. So, I decided to take the last version that still works okay (for us) and prepackage all the required settings to make it work right and look like the screenshots below.
You'll notice the weather icon at the bottom. It's updated from my miniweather application and the next release of miniweather (very soon) will have builtin support to update the weather information on S2U2's display. Keep in mind that this application has be launched manually in order to lock your phone, so it's best to use with SmartToolkit where you can assign a hotkey to launch s2u2.exe (I personally use the Spacebar with a 200ms delay).
Another way to launch is to reassign a different key, such as the tzones key, by editing the appropriate shortcut in the \windows directory, to launch s2u2.exe.
Anyway, enough blabber, here's the cab.... Please test and let me know how it works
seems to take high memory resource, so i have to kill the app after unlocking...anyway great works...
Yeah you're right... it takes about 6 megs the way I set it up. Which is a lot for an Excalibur, but not really an issue on my Blackjack with 128Mb of RAM, hehe.
Anyway, if you remove the wallpaper.gif from the gfx\ folder and maybe either use a static wallpaper or NO wallpaper, the memory usage should go down A LOT.

Haha yah well thanks for putting this together for us man...
Also if I would like to remove the weather from showing up how do I do that because I think that is eating a lot of memory too...
Also, sorry about all these questions but is there any way to have this autostart when you restart the phone, like have it autostart like a process?
You have to edit the registry to do that, but trust me, it doesnt eat up RAM at all. Anyway, go to HKCU\Software\A_C\S2u2\ and find ShowWeather and set it to 00. If you want it off the screen, just delete the "UserWeather" key.
How can we get this app to show weather for other user weather apps? lets say showaco's or outerdepth's weather apps? I have the ShowWeather key set to "5" and i have the UserWeather key as well, but theres no values in the UserWeather key and i dont see anything on my S2U2 screen with the weather on it
You talk to showaco or outderdepth and have them add one or two lines to their weather script, to update the "Userweather" key in the registry

well i see that there's a gfx/weather folder, but i don't see how or where it's linked in the s2u2 registry . i mean i see from your .cab that the user weather shows C|34|Fair 57F ...so your saying that since it says "Fair" it know what icon to use? and secondly i saw in your pics where it has your city "Las Vegas", yet i dont see that anywhere in the reg entries in the S2U2 keys....
Hmm I love the clean look. I just don't know if I want another screen to access my homescreen? I will have to do some more research on slide to unlock 2.
I kinda of want to read some feedback.

If your read the FAQ in the original S2U2 thread, you will understand how it works. "C" means "custom icons". The 34 is the file it will display "34.png" and Fair 57 is just... that.... Mine says Vegas because I'm in Vegas. I removed the Las Vegas wording from the cab, as it's irrelevant

Well it's more like a replacement lock screen for the usual lock screen of the smartphone. With this you just push the right directional key to unlock, instead of turning the phone one, pushing the unlock softkey and then the "*" key, which is a major PITA and it always annoyed me about smartphone. PLUS you get a cool info screen that you can look at without unlocking the phone!
its working great, i cant change any of the settings tho...
would it be possible to control the slide with the joggr?
nice have to check this out when i get the wife's blackjack II
this is great tht you took the time to get this to work in d dash. i have a question ,my appoinments are not showing, the weather icon is not updating and have no idea how to activate the locking and unlocking sound.
Guys, in order to set any of the settings you need to either get SOTI Pocket controller or MyMobiler. Or, edit the registry directly with the help of FAQ shown in the main application thread
yeah, i have mymobiler and follow all the proper procedure in faq but still not showing the updated weather icon or appoinments so on
Hi folks,
I'm looking for an programm launcher like the programs tab in TF3D, but I'd like to have multiple pages, as the 24 places in the tab are way to few.
Else I want to assign it to an hardware key, so I need an application, that is not integrated in TF3D.
Does anyone know a good app for this purpose ?
I guess someone already made something like that, but google and the forum search didn't bring it up.
Sounds like a job for Wisbar Advanced Desktop, I have 8 tabs on the main screen, 20 more fading in with one finger gesture, or configure a mainscreen tab to directly open a launcher page with 20 tabs per page, where tabs can also be a Inbox, URL or shortcut to opening a program with a given file. Then switch between unlimited launcher pages with one finger gesture per page.
^^ can you please tell me what part of wishbar advance i have to activate to make my screen look like that??
Look at MortScript and Mort Buttons You can add the buttons to start menu, Today screen or to the TF3D Programs page. each button has a full page or even multi-pages you can add apps, commands or scripts to. Really handy!

Its not Wisbar Advance (Task), but Wisbar Advance Desktop

Then you need to install Sergej's free Blackberry Theme to the themes folder of WAD, and activate it as your default portrait mode theme.

that looks really nice ... but how does is look in landscape mode? does it support landscape? if yes, i'll give it a try
Dont use landscape, but the program differentiates between those two modes, so you could just re-arrange the dock and tabs to fit your landscape preferences. For me the key feature was to be able to show unlimited appointments on my main screen.
already tried yota center?
Me I use UltimateLaunch that I looove with Yota

how to set the WAD as today screen? by disable the TF3D only?
last time i did try WAD, but, i didn't set it as today screen, i need to launch it as other program to get WAD work.
so, everytime you soft reset or wake up your HD, you will see WAD in your today screen?
Just disabled TF3D, started WAD installation, and WAD came up as today screen automatically. Yes, WAD is full today screen, but you can choose if you want to keep the Start and taskbar on the top of the screen, or have it disappear. Most standard Today plugins work from inside the WAD today screen, too.

thanks a lot Lucas, i will try.
Thanks for the ideas.
I'm already using Yota Center and its a nice program.
The only thing is that I'd like to have more pages, cause 24 places is too few.
I'll try Mort Buttons, looks interesting though.
have you tried launchmanager ? it's not free though ...

Thanks just one more question. When launching the Music player or Photo Viewer etc, are they the normal HTC ones or are they customized now?
Are they still easy to use?
Also does all your programs work normally? And if you don't like the WAD, you can easily delete it?

No, they will not be the HTC apps embedded in TF3D. You will set up each icon to open up your own apps. I haven't heard of anyone being able to use the HTC player or album yet as stand alone apps.
Yes they are very easy to use!
WAD will not affect the way your programs run. It is simply a launcher program (one of the best that I've seen yet).
Yes, you can easily uninstall WAD by going to remove programs and uninstalling it from there...although I have a feeling you won't want to after you get the feel for what it can do to your today screen!
Thanks that was a great explanation
just one more question for example do you mean it won't have a built mp3 player or something like that but you have to download a 3rd party one and assign it?
EDIT: I just bought it and installed the Blueberry theme but doesn't show up properly, i wonder why. I'm missing the clock, the calender and whenever i press the box on the right side, a empty grey box opens.. weird.
EDIT: Fixed it up by selecting Wishbar Desktop rather than HD BlueBerry, weird. some parts are still German even after applying eng buttons.

You can set it up to use Windows Media player if you want to, otherwise a third party app is what you will need. CorePlayer or PocketPlayer are a couple to check out.
I haven't installed the Blackberry theme for WAD yet but I do no if you don't have the icons installed in the correct places the theme will not show properly. I ran into this same problem when installing Mallmans Vista theme. As soon as I went back and followed his instructions perfectly, the theme was correctly displayed.
I'm not familiar with setting up different languages so I'm afraid I won't be of any help to you there. You may check out the Lakeridge WAD forum for that.
Here is how I have my WAD looking right now, a tweaked version of Mallmans Vista theme!
