Thanks Shadowmite, you save me a lot of time in hacking the registry on Japanese keyboard and clock display. Certainly, some more in performance.

was wondering when you were going to make your own thread

Is this the Version Bundled with V2.5?
Just wondering if this version of HTCustom Tweak is the same as the one bundled with the latest Custel V2.5 ROM.

its in the one that I JUST posted.

HTCustom
Thought so...
Not to beat a hornet's nest, but based on the screenshots it looks like some additional functionality and lay-out changes have been implemented since JJ's initial UI.
Looking forward to using it...

Problem with dd/MMM/yy...
I am having problems with the following format; dd/MMM/yy.
I changed the format and I still received the dropped 7 in the date. I read the wiki did the registry tweak, and used this prog as well. Still no dice. i'm on a plane now getting ready to head to NYC, so if u have any ideas I'd appreciate it.

If you are having the dropped last digit, add at least 2 spaces to the END of your custom string. If that's not enough do one more...

can you put there version number on the front page of the app please so we can see which one we have installed. i looked but couldnt find it

Are you looking in the titlebar?

yes but when you have the date and time up there like most of us do the version is cut off all i see is V1
i just did a hard reset or i would post a screen shot for u

Noproblem, releasing 1.3 in a few moments including that change, plus a few others, see the first post...

Good catch, posting version 1.4 to correct this.

im a noob, but i was wonder is there a way to have the time an battery in the task bar

Downloaded your source code ,but I just can not open the .sln file.
VS 2005 Just told me:"Error retrieving information from user datastore. Platform not found."
What platform do i need?
new to this kind of things.

Resolved.
It needs WM5 SDK to be installed, I had only WM6 SDK installed.
Studying now.

Cingular 8125
I've got an 8125 w/WM5, but cannot see this one after installing (tried many times). Also, after installing, I see "The program you have installed may not display properly because it was designed for a previous version of Windows Mobile software."
Does anyone have any suggestions? I *really* want to try this one out!
Thanks,
Rufus

look in the /windows folder for HTCustom and make sure you have the latest version of .net framework, he may have forgot the shortcut again

Rufus, it says that with the hermes as well (because its WM6 not WM 5). Keep in mind that this changes specific registry settings and those are probably not a good idea to try on the 8125. I don't think it'll hurt it too bad, but the settings may not take well.

All QVGA TaskBAR (phcanoverbmp.dll) - Wm 6.5 included

Hello to all,
(Saddened for my bad English this is an on-line translation)
From the excellent work of FInixNOver I dashed into the adaptation, even the modification, of the DLL phcanoverbmp.dll to make it compatible QVGA. After some evenings on the subject here is any warmth release of furnaces Taskbar everything in color!
In the passage it is to indicate that Pinpad is also retouched there.
The DLL contains 2 options for the animation of the battery, the standard version with the incremented remaining % everything the 1 %, the version to nuclear increments by step of 10 %.. The DLL remains exactly the same in both cases (in both cabs), only the base of register is different to reach the icone battery(icone drum kit) of its choice.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BatteryIconLevels"=dword:65 (B for nuclear)
"BatteryIconIdStart"=dword:3e9 (44E for nuclear)
"BaseDll"="phcanOverbmp.dll"
"BaseId"=dword:0
Do not forget to install previously sdkcerts.cab to avoid the problems of certification WM, then the cab of your choice.
End the installation by a soft reset.
We could again replace some icones but it would be to the detriment of Kb, I thus opted for a compromise aesthetics / weight. Besides the resolution QVGA shows icones 16x16 what does not still allow to obtain a sharpness of details.
For all those who would like to dash into the adventure you will find a very detailed post -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437307.
Noted: the Logo "Start" and the satellite dish situated above the signal of the network make party of shellres.96.dll, If you also wish to replace these icones 2 complete the installation by copying this DLL in your directory Windows. As for the color of the network signal, this one depends on the color of the subject and not on a DLL.
By hoping to satisfy most large number.
Special Thanks to FInixNOver, DarkLord69 and all those who contributed to the dévellopement of the TaskBar VGA.

Trying to work on it too and hope to send some more stuffs soon.

I have a problem: Icon of volum don`t change. How it happens?
I have read the instruction and i did it.
My phone is a HTC touch XL (Elfin).
Thanks.

First of all : "hello" or "thank you"
Volume icones depend of HTCVolumeSettings.dll (for HTC devices). Try to find your favs icones (dll files) with the search function.

Some changes from me
here is the thread and DLL files to download from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3149618&postcount=1699

Hey ! Thanks ! Could you post some other screen captures with the battery levels please ? Does the step goes by 10% or increments by 1% ? Does it show any numerics values ?
Thanks !

i did not make any other changes to the battery icons yet,i have a trinity and i need to change my battery.dll file to get that 1% meter,but with it i have a battery drain,so i can try to make something but i do not promise that i will succeed! have a nice day

Thanks Th3Hunter! Let me try to give a help if needed.
Bye

i'll make a battery icon but i'm not sure if it will work for other devices than Trinity,because as i said the icons for 1% are in different dll file, if you give your dll i'll compile one for you too , the other option is to make one for the 10% it will be working on other QVGA devices i think
@Tane71, if you want to help what can you do ? you can find some cool icons and i can compile them in to the DLLs
I couldn't find the missed call icon ?? can someone tell me where to look ? or maybe i don't see it in front of my eyes

Here I am: for lovers of simplicity, here is the phcanOverbmp.dll file modified with these icones (based on the Arthemus icones) :

I have found the solution to make High Quality wallpaper in 2.5.191xxx HTC Sense!
This solution let you have your own HQ wallpaper as default wallpaper and weather animation at the same time.
First you need a wallpaper with résolution 480x768(1),if you don't have it then resize HD wallpaper 480x800 into 480x768.
you need also the 2 manila files 4bfcbbee_manila(512x512 png file) & 54612042_manila (512x256 png file).
create new file with size 512x515(3) and very important with resolution"95,987"pixels!!!
Take your wallpaper(480x768) and from the upper side cut it in 480x515 and paste image in the new file you have made before on the left side,you will have empty area on the right side, then resize the file into 512x512.
Ok first image file is ready to replace in 4bfcbbee_manila file(with m9editor),be shure to unckeck "read only" in properties of the manila file first or you can't replace the image file in it,when the image file is replaced with m9editor then recheck "read only" before you copie it back in your windows folder!
Now the second file,follow the same steps as for the first file but cut your wallpaper from the bottom into size 480x256.
create new file with size 512x256(2) and very important with resolution"95,987"pixels!!!
Take your wallpaper(480x768) and from the bottom side cut it in 480x256 and paste image in the new file you have made before(512x256) on the left side too then it will look like this:
Ok second image file is ready to replace in 54612042_manila file(with m9editor),be shure to unckeck "read only" in properties of the manila file first or you can't replace the image file in it,when the image file is replaced with m9editor then recheck "read only" before you copie it back in your windows
folder!
Now copy both manila files you have create into windows folder of the HD,be shure to choose picture wallpaper first in menu on today screen.
When you have copyed both files into windows reset your device first!
When the device as restart then choose weather wallpaper and enjoy HQ wallpaper as default wallpaper
Here you have a screenshot with the result,i use Max Theme ultimate but its working without too.
I have work a long time on it to find this solution!
Im very sorry for my poor english,i hope its clear with this little tutorial and some pictures
Maybe we can use this to make new HDWALL for the 2.5 sense?
Also cookers can use it maybe?
Don't forget to say thanks if this is usefull to you

Tips & Trics
1.How to easy have the exact size to cut your wallpaper on the right position:
Thanks to kilzone who as given an easy solution!
there is an easier way to do this. When you select the marquee tool you notice (in the options bar) the option 'Style' which is probably set to 'Normal'. If you set this to 'Fixed Size' and type in 512x256 you have the exact size in one image (This is the correct way of making a perfectly sized marquee area.)

Looks good.
What programs do you use to make this? Where can I download them?

sorry wrong post..

I mean the files on the windows mobile device. I cannot overwrite them prolly because they are read-only, but when i change their attributes they are still read-only.

Hi there,
I was searching for some mods with my own wallpaper on different or all tabs, and stumbled across this fresh piece of code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3616825
Lets you create and install (via .cab) your custom made background (hires/all tabs) and slider icons.
Hope this helps.

Actually you can - even for 2.5.192xxx but you have to install grzegorz10_Background4all_Tabs-Manila_1920.CAB first, then select the manila 2.5 profile in the hdwalls settings. Then you have to install the cab and select weather wallpaper. Unfortunately for now i cant get it to work 100% correctly - i get black stripe on the right side of the screen - its like the size is not entirely correct, but i have the same problem using your method so it may be something related to the rom im using(or the all tabs background cab im using) or something like that - i have to check some stuff and figure this out.
edit: i measured the black bar on the right side of the screen and its width is exactly 29px

i think not 480X768
but 480X696

Can you actually select your own backgroud image for the Modern start screen? If so i will give this a try tonight and let you know if there are any issues. Thanks for your work on this i am not the biggest fan of the preset backgrounds.

With a program it's very difficult, because there is a system file to edit. I'll give a try
I think too that the default backgrounds are bad

Doesnt work. Started with Admin rights, I can change the accent color but not the background
Build 9200 RTM

@AsakuraVN Have you installed a LP?
@All I find a solution to edit a startscreen background with custom background. After some test, developing and more test, maybe i can bubblish the new version with this function.

There are some problems with imageres file.
I have do this manually (the problems are the image format, depth and color and maybe Resource hacker...)
Here there's a screenshot http://dl.dropbox.com/u/54377272/screen.png

@AsakuraVN Have you installed a LP?
@All I find a solution to edit a startscreen background with custom background. After some test, developing and more test, maybe i can bubblish the new version with this function.

You mean a language pack? Then no, Im using a clean install of RTM. Might try again later
Looking forward to your new version with custom background though xD

The 2.0 version is almost finished. I need some tester before publish, because the editing of imageres.dll wasn't much stable (though the problems was resolved). One never know
Please contact me with a MP to test the application.
Thanks and sorry for the bad english

Thanks! I can't wait to try it out - V2 that is.

ModernBack changer was update to 2.0 introducins new graphics, small functions and customizable background with a custom photo.
Need feedback (good or bad )

Tried this out of curiosity, but the start background image never changes, even though it says it should?

Some users can't change their background or accent color or twice with this tool...
I'm trying to find a solution (this problem came from 1.0 version...)
What version of Windows 8 have you tried? Have you got a language pack installed or your windows 8 is in another language than en-US?
Have you started it as administrator or have you restarted your pc and re-tried to edit background? Is your PC activated?
Sorry for a lot of question, but i have no idea of this problem...

Maybe the image selected was heavy and Irfanview (the tool included thatconvert images) didn't convert the image on-time. I will incrase the image converting time.

Thanks for the new version, everything seems to go well (no errors) but I can't seem to see any change's after I reselect the modified theme.

Thy this:
select a default theme and open the start-screen
return to desktop
select the custom theme and re-open start-screen
If this don't apply the custom background, look to \windows\system32 folder if "imageres.backup" is present
Maybe there are problems with permission of rename imageres.dll.
