[how to] Dialer skinning (in progress...)

I noticed that a lot of people like another dial skin instead of the standard blue WM5 dialer. There are some problems with the current custom skins available on different WM5 Phones.
So I like to start a "how to" on dialer skinning, so more people developing skins for different kinds of phones.
I would like to invite everybody with some experience to help me complete this thread, so it becomes a sort of Wiki on dialer skinning.
I would also like to invite "graphic designers" to create a database with skins.
Oke let's start:

Edit the DLL
Edit the DLL
If you want bigger buttons you have to edit the DLL
Tooling:
- Resource Editor / Restorator
- signtool.exe (included in .NET 2.0 SDK)
- Certificate (I use the SDKSamplePrivDeveloper)
Steps:
1. First you have to find the right DLL, in most cases it's the phcanrc.dll in the Windows map.
2. Open the file in a resource editor like Resource Tuner or Restorator. In the dialog map you find the different dialogs (portrait and landscape) wich you can edit, in the edit mode you can modify the fields on the dialog (unfortunately you cannot see the edges of the fields, temporarily use of borders can help).
Probably it's better to define a standard size and position for the buttons, so the dll's and graphics can be reused by all our developed skins and dialers.
Momentarily I use the next positions:
Portrait (top-left corner of button)
horizontal positions: 2, 81, 160
vertical positions: 84, 122, 158, 194, 230
button size: 78x35
3. Signing the DLL
The DLL has to be signed before you can use it, I use the signtool.exe from the .NET 2.0 SDK and the SDKSamplePrivDeveloper certificate in the same SDK.
Start the signtool in wizard mode using "signtool.exe signwizard" -> select the dll file -> custom signtype -> select the certificate from file -> browse for the corresponding key file.
I leave other settings default.
DLL Ready.

Hmm.. it would be a very interesting discussion.. And I have a small question.. Is it possible to extract the part of Phone application from Eten Roms and add it to MDA roms??.. It is the part where you can change the skins.. http://smartmania.mobilmania.cz/images/recenze/EtenM700/captures/06.jpg

here is the image sets, I used for my SmartDial BigKey Grass (see post).

I don't know if that's possible... I should say try before you die...

Hmm.. it would be good if you were to state specifically that the skinning app you are refering is the Ethen skin. There are the other dial pad skinning, which I think the buttons are a bit small to my liking. I use the Ethens.
BTW, since we are in this topic. I used to have an idea to 'do' my own skin (Ethen dialpad), but I find getting the buttons to be exact and save to the specific names and such, is a hassle. It would be good, if there were to be a way that I can have 2-3 skin for each screen where you have the 'release' and 'press' of buttons, in calls, etc, that one can easily Photoshop them. Then, there were to be a program to just cut, rename and save them, and possibly generate a preview as well.
Is there software that can do that? I can do that in Java (my C got rusted away long time ago), but I need some precise x-y of the buttons.

Not the Eten Skin but the standard WM5 Dialer.
The buttons and other (label) fields of the standard dialer can be resized and moved with Resource Editor or Restorator as described above.
I made a dialer myself for my QTEK9100 but people with a Verizon XV6700 have a problem sending text messages, so I give them the opportunity to adjust their dialer to a nice looking skin.
It's a hassle, you are right...
In Photoshop you can use slices and layers.

If you were to moved those buttons as you described as above, and refering to your black button skin, isn't that the Eten skin? Or tell me, whats the difference between your dial pad as compared to Eten dial pad?
As for the xy for the buttons, the information you provide
horizontal positions: 2, 81, 160
vertical positions: 84, 122, 158, 194, 230
button size: 78x35
Can be used for me to get a dial pad slicer done. But you've missed the xy for the 'backspace' button as well as buttons for the 'status screen'.
And while we are on this topic, we may be well able to see if anyone is free enough to get us a dialpad changer. AFAIK, to change the dialpad, all you need to do is just replace the BMP files in \Windows (for Eten skin), so it is quite easy to do. I'm so lazy to switch dialpad as per my Today theme, I end up using a grey pad instead of coloured ones.

Some people don't get the ETEN dialer or my dialer see post to work properly on their machine (Verizon TyTN etc.) see the messages in that trhead. So I would like to give them the opportunity to modify their own standard WM5 dialer to a nicer/usable skin.
And it works, because in version 1.3 of my SmartDial BigKey dialer I modified the DLL of a standard WM5 dialer of user "Trinergy" (see also the previous mentioned thread).
Btw. all the xy positions in my dialer are in the attached txt file...
And yes a dialpad changer would be very nice...

Also need WM 5.0 SDK installed?
OK, I modified my phcanrc.dll file using Resource Tuner, and started up the signtool.exe wizard. Everything went OK until the wizard asked for the certificate, which I couldn't find.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like you also need to have WM 5.0 SDK for Pocket PC installed to get the SDKSamplePrivDeveloper certificate that is required for certifying the .dll.
To download the WM 5.0 SDK for Pocket PC from Microsoft, you have to "validate" your installation by downloading Microsoft's WGA spyware.
I'm stuck here, since I really don't want to install the Microsoft Validation / "Windows Genuine Advantage" spyware stuff on any of my computers.
Sigh ...

Here are the necessary files...

I also found another way to sign files, in fact a whole tread about signing files... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=848131#post848131 and look for the signcode_294.zip (haven't tested it yet)

this is cool!
i havent yet done any of this and am still unsure where to get all the files. i really want the Vista II by JPL4 skin from paulya on my cingular 8528, except it does not include support for the smart dialer. how can i get it to work? is there a way i can install it and the smart dial modifications you have so it can work properly?

Bummer! Hit another roadblock ...
Well, I modified phcanrc.dll, signed it and loaded it into a .CAB file.
I also added all the Black Key images and some registry keys (assigning images to buttons, etc.) that I found into the new .CAB file as well.
So, I loaded the .CAB file to my XV6700, and ...
... none of the new key positions worked. Rats!
It seemed like the old standard WM5 keys were still in effect, and some of the new Black Key images were in the wrong spots.
I did a little experimenting with webpatrick's existing Big Key Black .CAB file, and found a registry key that "fixed" the problem (sort of):
HKLM/Security/Phone/Skin/ext = \windows\phcanhtc.dll
If phcanhtc.dll gets loaded, the phone keys work! However, when phcanhtc.dll is loaded, I experience other problems: Can't access phone settings, no text messaging, can't call voicemail sometimes.
Does anyone know anything about the phcanhtc.dll file? It isn't loaded by default. And, the registry key above normally looks like this:
HKLM/Security/Phone/Skin/ext = PhoneCanvas.dll
Does anybody know what's going on?
¿GotJazz?

2 webpatrick: I have installed your Black version on my MDAC 3 ... And it's working just fine. Thanks for that Cheers ...

Does that mean you can change this
Code:
CONTROL "", 23008, "MS_PHONE_CONTACTPICTURE", 0, 197, 25, 39, 52
found in phcanrc.dll to make the picture bigger?

Question : How to hide the word of speed dial in wm5 dialpad
I want to hide the word of speed dial & call history in wm5 dialpad, can it be done by edit registry? or i need to modify the dll? which dll should i modify and how?? Thanks.
Also i want to ask how to make the speaker on display in 2 lines.
Thanks in advance

[THEME] (7Mar) Max Customizable TF3D - Changeable Wallpaper Theme for Duttys ROM

Latest Updates Section
THEME FOR DUTTYS ROM ONLY ( DO NOT INSTALL ON OTHER ROMS )

26Feb09
a. Blue Theme for Duttys Extreme ROM. Click HERE
23Feb09
a. Analog Clock for Duttys Extreme ROM. Click HERE. ( sorry, run out of space on this page ).
21Feb09
a. Ultimate Theme Released ( read slightly below ). This will probably be the last release as I'm now comtemplating to jump over the new TF3D theme.
------------------------------------------------------------
THEME FOR STANDARD TF3D ( DO NOT INSTALL ON DUTTYS ROM )
This is my first post here. Thought I share this wt you all. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank some folks here which has made this possible. Below is a complete dump of my post in modaco link.
PLEASE READ INSTRUCTION HERE BEFORE INSTALLING
Here it is.....the complete TF3D package for your Touch HD. This theme has a fully functional analog, a working mini-flipclock, extended appointments, all 15 tabs and wallpaper can be updated with a press of a button for all background. The bottom bar opacity has been fixed. It is now 100% solid and I have done the same for the top bar as well.
Operator text now works. Read further below.
I apologize for the earlier mistake that during the rush of releasing this, I've overlooked and messed up some files. My intention here is to enable a fully customizable TF3D theme for everybody. So, pls read carefully and follow each instruction to get to the theme that you desire.
FIRST STEP......RESET TO ORIGINAL THEME FIRST
If you do not do this, there's no guarantee that this theme will work properly
Reseting To Original Theme Guide
Thks a million to Blessed HD. Here's the easy way to reset back to your default theme. Install Diamond TF3D Config program. You can find it in XDA. Go to the "Appearance" Tab and do a restore to default. It will automatically delete all the manila and related files.
PLS CHECK THAT YOUR ORIGINAL THEME WORKS FINE BEFORE GOING TO THE NEXT STEP!!
Installation Guide
It is not easy to make everybody happy but the closest I can do is to allow you to choose what to install. I have now broken down the key components that you need to install step by step. Drop whatever you don't want and only select those that you need. Below is a list of files and their description.
To install these files, simply copy the cab to anywhere on your mobile and click on it. Soft reset afterwards. Should you have any difficulty re-installing after multiple times, go to \windows\appmgr and delete the folder "Max Your Application Name".
1. Max Complete TF3D - Main.cab
This is the main file which will give you the analog clock, extended appointments and changeable wallpaper. The number of tabs remain as the original 11 tabs. This will the basic of my theme. You will still need to download the analog clock package which I will make available. In future, I will also create different configuration theme so that when you are bored wt this, you can always change to another look.
Remember to go and download the analog clock package to complete the theme. I have attached one analog clock package for you here. There's a selection of analog clocks on my modaco link.
NEXT, select a wallpaper to fill up the background. Go to your SETTINGS tab and choose a wallpaper ( anyone that you like ). There are already some default wallpapers that comes along with your phone.
That should complete the whole installation!!
Below are some pictures of how the theme configuration looks like. More theme configuration will come later.
{
"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_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
AGAIN, DO NOT GO TO THE NEXT STEP UNTIL THIS PORTION WORKS FINE FOR YOU!!!
NEW UPDATE : Operator text has been solved.....finally. It now works perfectly and refreshed realtime. All cabs have been updated with this fix since 15Feb except for the main cab. Since some of you preferred to have your own text up there, I will leave the current main cab available.
----------------------------------------
2. Max Complete TF3D - 15Tabs.cab
THERE HAS BEEN REPORTS THAT THIS MAY NOT BE WORKING PROPERLY IN SOME PHONE CONFIGURATION. IF YOU ARE REALLY DYING FOR THIS, DO AT YOUR OWN RISK. SHOULD IT FAIL, RESTORE YOUR PHONE BACK TO ORIGINAL WITH THE ABOVE RESTORE METHOD.
This cab will extend your tabs to a total of 15. Even without installing the Main cab, you should get the additional 15 tabs minus all the goodies that you get with the main. Additional tabs added are as below.<br />
a. Calendar
b. Sound Setting
c. Call History
d. Comms-Manager
-----------------------------------------
3. Max Complete TF3D - Main Config 2.cab
If you are already bored with the original main theme, here's another one for you to play with. You can install this cab with or without the main.cab. Here's a pic of how it looks like.
------------------------------------------
4. Max Complete TF3D - Main Config 3.cab
Another configuration with optimized space for a slightly larger analog clock. Clock position now swapped. Date placed on titlebar. All analog clocks on goodies section should work. You can install this cab with or without main.cab
------------------------------------------
5. Max Complete TF3D - Ultimate Theme
This theme is an enhancement of the main.cab theme. It has the same positioning as the main.cab but with an additional feature and one easter egg.
1. You can now edit your own text on the top left corner. Default "My Touch HD". To change the text, pls refer to my tutorial in my modaco link.
2. Operator text works perfectly on your top right corner.
3. Analog clock will trigger your alarm settings.
Easter egg - Your analog clock can move by press+hold on it. However, I could not make it to stick after releasing. If anyone manage to find a way, pls let me know
. Only way to get it back on position is to relaunch your TF3D or soft reset.
The "Ultimate Theme - Basic" cab only changes the settings for those who wants to setup their own theme entirely. You will need to add your own analog clocks, etc.
However, to further enhance the theme, I have released another cab which I named "Ultimate Blue Theme.cab". Unfortunately, I do not know why I could not upload the cab here. So, you will have to download from my modaco link.
In this cab, I've changed the bars and bubbles to blue and add a new transparent clock with blue tip and white on transparent flipclock. I did not touch the taskbar and tabs icons as this is very much a personal taste and it will be very difficult to please everyone. So, I would rather let you customize yourself.
In addition, I have selected some of my favourite wallpapers which will be installed on your \storage card\max wallpaper folder. By using the "Diamond Background Changer Installer", you can now automatically cycle your wallpapers over a periodic time through all your tabs. The installation process is as below.
1. Download and install "Diamond Background Changer Installer". ( could be anywhere on your phone )
2. Startup the Diamond program. Change the folder destination to : \storage card\max wallpapers\
3. You can also set periodic time here. Press "Schedule" to activate it once. Then exit.
4. Now install the "Ultimate Blue Theme.cab" on your device. (Cab can be uninstalled ). Soft reset.
5. After re-boot, your theme should look like below screen and your wallpaper will cycle through based on the periodic time that you set.
------------------------------------------
PROBLEM REPORTING
Should you come across any problems ( I suggest you chk thoroughly by following my instruction above first ) before you post them. If you did, pls consider sending a screen or more information or else it is very difficult for me to fix the problem if I don't see it myself.
GOODIES
I am slowly putting up goodies like analog clocks, flipclocks and others packages for you to dress up the theme. You can download frm the modaco link above.

could you please upload cabs here also ?

Thanks, the analog clock looks really nice!!
Could you explain to me how I can change back to my provider name in the right top corner (now it says: my Touch HD).
Thx!

Furthermore, how to remove the theme??
It doesn't show up in "remove programs" :S

Hi.
I installed it and it looks very nice but i have one Problem. After Softreset i cannot change something in CommManager Tab. I cannot turn on WiFi etc. After Pressing Menu and then go to Wifi Menu and turn it on Wifi turns on and then i am able to change everything in Comm Manager Tab. Perhaps you can explain it.
MfG Uro

Would it be possible to apply just the clocks? I don't really want the rest of the theme but the clocks look nice.

thanks
thanks great work,specialy the orginal htc theme

WOW... thnx Maxycy!!! You sure did something amazing for us
Your analog and flip clock works great on my HD (CHT HK ROM)
It works great with my still under-construction "Metal Glass" theme and taskbar (which on-hold for 3-months, that's another story )
Keep up you great work mate

Most of the issues mentioned so far has been addressed.....I hope
As for the future, there's plan to only release clocks and other things minus all the other files. That's the whole reason for this as you can now more or less customize your own theme to your own liking.
Ok...I call it a day for now.

yeah, i love the clock most too~~is there any way i can just install the cloak?

Nice work.
Can we have a transparent slider on the black theme?
The theme works well with black wallpaper but if you choose another the effect is not as great.
Many thanks

Hi Urokinase.
Installed with no problems, the Comm-Manager screen works ok I like the slow sliding animation when a feature is activated.

Hi, I try this and now my TF3D don't start ( any solution?

My screen keeps being white.. even after i changed the wallpaper to black or abstract.. it stays white / grey?

working perfect for me, no white background or other stuff ppl have reported except the wifi thing which i havent tested yet, it shows in the new 15 tab, other than that its abit slow i kno its called the touch flo 3d but this may sound strange is it using any 3d acceleration cos i'm using the ati driver posted somwhere in the forum.
EDIT; the wifi does not work in the comm tab, also there is no data connection there, other than that its ok, and looks slick, good job.

what does 15 tabs mean? What other menu items are added?

I had to read a lot, mostly from FInixNOver's great tutorial, then I
extract the proper files from UK ROM (KovskyKitchen) and unsigned, edited, repacked and signed every DLL, merging all the resources one by one, but it was worth the time: I have learned a lot and I am very proud of the final product, whatsmore, I even learned how to make some new icons of my own
Here's what I used:
- WinCE CAB manager (trial version) to pack/unpack CABs
- baniczek's "UnSigner" to unsign each DLL
- "ResHack" from Angusj and "PE Explorer" (trial version) to unpack DLLs, extract resources and icons, replace and edit resources and repack
- "IcoFX" to edit, merge and create new icons ("GIMP" is great too)
- MS "Paint" and MS Office "Picture manager"
- adexxx's "Siggner" to re-sign the edited and repacked DLLs
- WinCE CAB manager again to build the new CABs
- Lots of trial and error testing
Now I really need to go to sleep, hope all of you enjoy this skin, and please feel free to use/edit/mod any icon or DLL: I even prepared a developers pack with all the source files to share

gtrab my respect, very nice work !! was looking foreward to this...
I installed it and it looks very good, thanks for the great work

"PS 2: I packed my GPS icon, but I have never seen it on my Xperia X1... anybody has ??"
When do you think it's supposed to appear? I've lounched IGO8, and with full GPSsignal, I minimise d the program. There was no icon. Tried with VisualGPSce: same result.
Now get some rest man, you deserve it! Well done!

@gtrab
Yes, very interesting work - thanks

"PS 2: I packed my GPS icon, but I have never seen it on my Xperia X1... anybody has ??"
Yes ... because I live/work mostly in areas of marginal GSM signal, the phone signal icon (bars) sometimes drops in and out when the received signal varies in strength.
During this "wavering", the GPS icon displays briefly instead of the phone bar icon
Fact, but ...

thax, this is great job.
HATS OFF FOR YOU.
thanx for ironing out the bugs.

a very nice work, as old thread become a mess
I plan to contribute with a black and white version soon (except for the start logo obviously )

Can you please report if my icon displays ??
And if it does, displays properly ??
I've had no way to test it since I can't figure out how to make it pop up

Nice
I'm trying to do something similar to this myself, because I don't like the icons used here, just personal preference, I still salute your work. However, I am having trouble getting the device to allow me to copy the DLL files from it in order to edit them. Are there some registry values I can change to make the device allow me? Thanks.

wow. beautiful! tnx for this!

No it is very hard to copy ROM files from Windows, the easies way is to dump your ROM, but you don't need to dump the ROM again since I already did it, just download my developers package and use these DLLs, edit them to your personal preferences
Here is the list of icons and respective files:
BITMAPS (24 bits, 32x32 size) from /windows/*.bmp
- BT On Mode.bmp
- BT Discoverable.bmp
- BT Stereo headset.bmp
- Stereo headset.bmp
- GPS-icon.bmp
PNG IMAGES
- welcomehead.192.png (the boot screen, 480x800) from /windows/*.bmp
MUI SYETEM FILES (all icons 32x32 32 bits)
notify.dll.0409.mui
Alarm/reminder notification bell = icon 2
DLL SYSTEM FILES (all icons 32x32 32 bits)
- CDMA_RSSI_PPC.dll
phone/data signal strength
- HTCVolumeControl.dll
Only necessary when Touch-IT Volume Control is installed
Speakers (on, vibrate, silent) = icons 1,2,3
- outres.192.dll
SMS msg = icon 2
EMAIL msg = icon 3
- phecanOver.dll
Sony phone canvas = all bitmaps
Speakers = icons 100,101,103 (overrided by HTCvolumecontrol.dll if present)
Active Sync USB/PC connection = icon 22
Active Sync off disconnect = icon 93
Missed call = icon 92
Roaming = icon 102
WiFi disconnected = icon 104
WiFi connected = icon 105
WIFI searching animation = icons 106-115
Battery = icons 23-43,116-195
- shellres.192.dll
Wait animation = bitmaps 4896-4911
Speakers = icons 16,17,18 (changed = 4,5,16 in my DLL)
Multialert = icon 30 (= 17 in my DLL)
Sync animation = icons 270-290
Start = icon 292
(I also edited BT icons 3,4,5, WiFi icons 49,50,51,370,371 and HSDPA 201 for testing purposes, but seem not to be necessary)
- tapres.192.dll
Roaming = bmp 22256
Voice msg = icon 15
Speakerphone = icon 16
- tshres.192.dll
WIFI new net detected = icon 1

Well, I did say that ... yes, the GPS icon displays briefly and occasionally in place (ie. instead of) of the phone bar icon when the GMS signal strength wavers. It does not display for me at all when the GPS is actually being used.
As far as I can tell, the GPS icon itself, when it shows, looks OK. It never displays for more than a second or two.

i can't seem to uninstall this!
it says "was not completely removed"
help please

@ianll8888
reading your post, seems to me that the GPS icon appear more like a "NO phone signal" icon replacement!

Even when warned otherwise, package is completely deleted
Remember you need sdkcerts first
Reinstall sdkcerts, reinstall package again and then remove package
Works
EDIT: I observed that uninstalling after reinstalling from other version overrides the original system files, thus avoiding a full uninstall. SOLUTION on post 3

thanks!
i like your program.. the problem is.. when i installed spb pocket plus it created another battery icon.. i changed one to a clock but the other one doesn't change to your customized icon

Try this: settings>system>spb pocket plus>uncheck "taskbar battery indicator". Soft reset.

[TUTORIAL] Changing Program's Icon

1. Windows Mobile 6.1 with Manila 2.1
because of restriction of WM6.1 we will not be able to change program's icon to high quality one, but what we can do change their appearance in Manila
look at the following picture showes modified icons in Manila's Program tab which can use as a start menu based on Rhodium style ROMs
{
"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"
}
Each place in program's tab can have 96*96 Icon instead of windows normal icons (32*32). these icons extension are qtc and can be located inside windows directory by serching *.qtc files
Here is my favourite set of icon, including nearly 10,000 HQ icons
Code:

http://rapidshare.com/files/214990822/10000.HighDefinition.PNG.Icon.Pack.part6.rar
After finding your favourite icon now it must be converted to qtc, I do recommend CFC - THE Manila/TF3D Image Editor
From Tools menu choose Import from PNGs, press Yes and browse location of icon,
it will automatically converted to qtc format, once it's done it is better to change the name to MPI_*.qtc (instead of * put any name which you like)
Now with total commander or Resco explorer copy above file to windows directory.
With any Reg editor program go to following address:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE]\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
You will see numbers from 0 till 23 (24 place for icons start from left top till right bottom) choose the one you want to change it.
Put new path for the icon in IconPath like:
\windows\MPI_Programs.qtc
it's done now restart your manila and enjoy your new icon
2. Windows Mobile 6.5
If you are using WM 6.5 you can change program's icon directly from windows registry which will effect appearance of icon every where including Manila.
First of all you need to find high quality icon you can also use bluemetalaxe's thread it is full of beautiful icons and if you couldn't find what you are looking then make a request over there.
Now with Reg editor program go to following address:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE]\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start
you will see reg keys similar to shortcut's name in windows start menu
choose the one you want to change
inside the key modify or create String Value (Name = Icon) with value of icon's path
for example:
now do soft reset
enjoy new icon

I used normal .ico file for changing the icon in manilla program launcher.

I need some help..
i search some square icon (in .ico format) to use in the program tab of the manilla. like the one for iphone or the one from htc (but both are to small to the program tab, i think we need some 1208x128 icons, not 64x64)
thanks for the help!

Here are my choices. I decided to make the start menu show categories instead of apps so i have used a registry editor to link each icon to a sub folder in my windows/start folder.
I have also attached the icons which you copy to ppc windows folder and link to them in icon path field.

Thanks to new manila and master chef Dutty now we can enjoy high quality Icons in our blackstone.

Manila Start Screen Registry Editing
Hi, I wanted to change the icons in my htc diamond 2 (tmobile compact v) manila program start screen and also to have folders that contain other icons (like games or organiser for eg).
By accessing the following keys (0-23) in regedit you can change values such as name, link, icon and write protect.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\
I did try and add a 25th shortcut, it showed but did not work, will investigate that later.
Also I realised that you can use png's for icons in the manila menu, no need to convert to ico or qtc. (Need to find the optimum png dimensions yet).
I appreciate that some programs may exist to do this from a gui, but this a quick fix and all you need is a ppc registry editor.

MrKaon styler_RO.cab froze Diamond 2 Startup..!!
Hi,
I installed MrKaon styler_RO.cab on my Diamond 2 (TMobile MDA Compact V - UK) and it froze the startup sequence and the phone stuck at the windows mobile boot screen.
I had to do a hard reset to resolve action.
Perhaps it conflicts with TMobile skin files.
Beware anyway just in case peeps..

is for touch HD..
working perfect on Touch HD.

I followed these steps, but the resulting files did not have the .qtc extension. I renamed them like you instructed, adding the .qtc at the end. But when I changed the registry value to point to one of my newly created qtc files, the Icon in the manila programs tab was an empty white square (after restarting manila of course). Did I neglect something in the conversion process? (The png's I used were 96x96)
EDIT: Never mind, I figured out the problem. Apparently, 96x96 pngs are the wrong size. As soon as I scaled one up to 128x128, it worked just fine.

id like to put new program icones for my PhoenixEx 1.2 manila 2.5, can u send me cab please? if u have slidebar icones too...ill be happy

Thanks for that tricks.
It's quick and efficient on WM 6.5, using any registery editor.
Still, changing the icon from the "software built-in" one to an external PNG files slows down the display of 'programs' tab very much. With 27 apps on my screen, it takes about 5 secs to pop-up. (i use HTC sense)
PNG files specs : size 90x90, between 4 and 14 kb each, located in a folder at the root of the internal memory.
Would a soft reset fix the problem ?
EDIT : Soft rest doesn't fix the problem. Takes up to 10 secs to display page with 26 progs.
Does the problem comes form the icons location, of size in kb ?
Is there any way to change the default built-in icon of every software ?

Hide WM 6.5 Taskbar

Is there a tweak or a software to hide one or both bars (bottom & top) in winrows mobile 6.5?

The following cabs remove the topbar (operator logo) & bottom bar (TF3D tabs). It is advisable to install sdkcerts first.
EDIT
I have no cabs to remove top bar (startmenu/taskmanager) and bottom bar (soft keys)

[QUESTION] How to make taskbars transparent?
Hi,
Recently, I was wondering, how to change taskbars (upper and down windows, wich are black and Manila's tap-bar) to transparent? Right now I have my wallpaper in hi-res (480x800px), and only taskbars disturbs my HD look-and-feel
On screens:
1 and 2 visual of my HD screen.
3rd screen I've lent from MaxTTm's thread, to show wich bars am I talking here about... I mean number 5 (Manila tapbar), 10 and 11.
What I want:
5 and 10 could be 100% transparent
11 could be 65% transparrent.
Could Anybody make cab's with these settings for me? I would appraciate that.
Thanx in advance....
My screens:

I'm affraid that is not possible in WM6.1, but a feature in WM6.5.

I'm using ROM based on WM 6.5 (like in my signature, or secound screen shows that). So I think it is possible...
2nd screen shows, that top and bottom bars are a little bit transparent... I just would like them to be (top) 100% and (bottom) 65%...
THX for reply...

mmm
not possible in 6.1 ? what makes it possible in 6.5? a reg hack ? as this is only software and there is no physical change betwen .5 and .1

for those of you interested in hiding the bottom bar:
