I am trying to find a home screen that has the BBConnect status in it, by default BBConnect adds its self to the themes that are installed but I want to find the xml code for the plugin to add it to other custom screens. Can someone help me? I tried searching the device for those bb added screens but they don't seem to be listed anywhere.
Thanks

how can i restore the icon to the lower today screen taskbar...
i cant find the settings in the registry
is this to rotate the screen?
download and install this: http://tun0.de/uploads/pt_screenrotate_2.13_pro_20501101_112.cab
just installed?
but done nothing , where am i looking
wat does the cab install, will it place the the icon in the lower taskbar? would a simple registry edit not do?
yes it do place the rotate icon in the tray. in the cab is a reg that do the job, but why should i make it with a reg editor if i can simply install this cabfile?
@tomcoleman Have you made a soft-reset?
The suggestion given are 2 ways of solving your problem. It's up to you which you think its easier.
Download broken any chance anyone can post it the other one doesnt wrk on my xda orbit, or does anyone know the reg keys ?
It seems some people still interested in this, so i corrected the link above, still works on WM5 and WM6. Happy rotating!
A previous ROM I used -- Elf, I think -- had a tool in it to quickly change the functions of the left and right smart buttons on the Today screen. Lock Device and Write New SMS were a lot more useful than Calendar and Contacts! I've googled it up and down though and I can't find a CAB file for this program for the life of me. It's the one think I miss about that ROM since moving to Black.
Can anyone help me out? Even just the name of the program would help.

Hey Everyone,
This is my 1st post. I figured out how to alter the homescreen to add Fizz Weather to your homescreen. It involves use of the Orange Plugin. If you don't have I can arrange some help getting it. If People are interested in this being added to the homescreen make a post on here. When I get home from the hospital tonight, I will upload the xml file and or the code. Let me know what you think.
u have screens?
If you are speaking of 6.1, your a hero.....but I think we all know how to add it to 5.0 and 6.0. Which O/S are you referring to?
Yeah, we know you can add it. We've always know that. I'm sure the Orange plugin gives you more flexibility, where you can probably shrink CHome a little MORE. But, the million dollar question is... can you place Fizz inside one of the panels of CHome ? That's what we've all been waiting for!

Thanks! I wonder if we can make one of the panels display a dynamically changing registry entry that would be updated by a weather app. The only panels I can think of is the Messaging panels,which aren't flexible at all. Hmmm...

Hi All
Since getting a Touch HD iv'e been trying to make some of my favourite programs look ok with the WVGA Resolution.
Here are 3 skins i have either made or modified that work well all keeping the Touchflo 3D Theme.
The first is an S2u2 theme (just copy the gfx folder to the s2u2 dir) and use the clock dir
Second is a quick basic Launch manager theme (copy the defaultwvga dir into the skins dir of lm
last is a Pocketcm theme , This is not my theme but i adapted to work on WVGA , The theme was created by Oumpahpah called Dark Diamond II - 2, I just resized some graphics and made the buttons work on the contact details page, I also edited the ini file to resize some of the screen placings.
There i 1 small glitch which i have yet to iron out on the sms page but it does not interfere with the working of the sms page it just bugs me its there (a white line around the SMS box)
you need to extract both the zip and the dir into the pocketcm dir and choose the
Modified Dark Diamond II 0.25c VGA theme
Also check here for a nice TF3d calendar mod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423647
It works great and ive also managed to move the tab using the diamond TF3D editor
also from a diamond thread ive managed to change the calendar link from the homepage to thumbcal and the all people shortcut on the contacs page to pocketcm
I just wish HTC would allow us to show more Appointments on the home screen it seems a waste of the lovely screen not to fill it up
Hope these help
Edit Fixed the SMS glitch Ver2 uploaded of teh PocketCM Theme
Edit Added Thumbcal Skin (skin.diamond_WVGA.zip) just put the zip into the Thumbcal Dir
the other skins work ok but i noticed that the lines were not even on the vga Skin so this fixes that along with the images are now the correct size
New Calculator SKin
Found a great VGA Calc Skin by L.Sylvain but i admended it for WVGA
Install the L.Sylvain cab file then extract the SpbCalc_P_VGA.png file from the SpbCalc_P_VGA.zip and copy it into the windows dir
Edit 20-11 Resized the Landscape too - copy both files into the Windows Dir
Edit 21-11 Small update to the Calc Skin - Changed the pressed keys to Green which is more in line with the Touch HD Theme
08-12 removed the original calc skin as there are better versions now
The final skins are later in this thread
Calc with Grey Pressed buttons SpbCalc_P_WVGA_grey_Final.zip
calc with Green Pressed Buttons SpbCalc_P_WVGAgreen_Final.zip
Both have a condensed but i think easier layout on portrait
and a full layout on landscape
Wow, the calendar and it's tab looks VERY nice! It's late now, but I'll definitely give this a try tomorrow..thanks!
hi machmandp
do i get it right?
I can get the calendar tab in tf3d on the touch hd following the instructions given on the link you supplied?
Do I loose any other tab of the original tabs by performing thid modification?
Thanks in advance for your replies!

Hi
I can just give my experience and i lost no tabs when i added it
I dont use the stock tab which is why it's missing from my setup but it's available (i tried it)
Machmandp - you are an absolute star! I piddled around with the dark diamond skin when I got my HD and got so far with it but then got stuck. I've been hoping someone would sort this out as it is a very appropriate theme for the HD. Limited testing so far and although I can see your (very minor) issue on the SMS screen, everything else looks very good...so many, many thanks. I'd be interested in any further tweaks you make to this skin.
I might pick your brains on linking to different calendar/contact apps, but I'll try searching again first.
Thanks again
I put it on and took it off again because I did lose a tab - programs. I don't have time to play with it right now. It also seems to be static - in other words you get a tab displaying a calendar page but you can't actually do much more than look at the dates. You can't open and interact with the calendar for example.
Mind you that's on a very limited try and I'm happy to be corrected.
machmandp - did you by any chance slot your version into where the stock tab would have been? Also, what do you do with the locale file - I was getting IDS_Calendar_... in front of everything. Can you do more with the calendar than just look at it?
If you get a second, can you point me in the right direction for the diamond tweaks for calendar and contacts - I'm drawing a blank so far
Cheers
Hi
the link for the editor i used for the contacts and calendar links
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407777
make sure you read the whole thread as it has info for the touch HD later in the thread
I did put the calendar where the stock tab used to be but i have enabled the stock tab and it still shows so i have lost no tabs at all.
As regards to the local file you just need to download the lacales.zip from the thread and put the correct locale file into the windows dir (mine was en-us)
yep it's very static at the moment but as the page evolves i figure that it's a good thing to have it working and then i'll just have to replce the actual manila files without having to edit any again, also it's still pretty good as a quick veiw calendar
I am working on the Pocketcm skin so hopefully i'll get rid of that glitch soon
Thanks

Hi, in anticipation of getting hold of my Touch HD (when mobiles.co.uk eventually ships it on O2!) I'm been tinkering around with my Hermes.
I love the look of your S2U2 skin. I've tried to replicate it on my Hermes back down to 320x240 screen.
All seems to have worked ok except I can't get rid of the coloured overlay that S2U2 puts behind the clock. I've changed the background picture to be the one that I use across all devices (the nice blue sunray looking one from Windows 7) but it ends up with this semi-translucent bar with the clock figures and date in across the top half.
Which image file do I need to make transparent to make that go away?
Hope my post made sense.
I'll try and get some screen shots up to show what I mean.

Thanks for that; after a bit f hacking around in photoshop I've got the look I wanted.
I've attached a .rar of my modified gfx folder along with a screenshot if anyone wants to use it.
Many thanks to both who helped me in this thread. Just got to do it to my HD when it arrives now!

More Daft Questions...Sorry!
@machmandp - I have a little more time now so I'm going to have a play.
First off, I'm going to follow the Calendar hack to set up PI. Seems simple enough from the links you provided.
Then I'm going to look at linking PCM Contacts to the People Tab. How does that work for you? When you tap the contact picture does it link to the correct contact in PCM Contacts? Do the links to call or send SMS under the picture still function?
Lastly, I might give the Calendar Tab hack a go again. I followed the instructions quite carefully and am bothered that managed to lose my Programs tab. Did you copy the XML straight out of the original post? Did you mess around with the Page Order at all? Were you able to use the built in tab configurator to manipulate the tabs including the new calendar tab?
Hugely appreciate all your help so far - you've already made my day today with the fix for the PCM Contacts skin - and I'd immensely grateful for any more guidance you can offer.
Hi
Yes i copied the xml from the page but with the HD having an extra tab i put the number of the calendar page as 11 not 10
As regards to moving the tabs i had to use the diamond TF3d Configurator from the diamond forum, This works fine.
The link to Pocketcm is only for the All people softkey and not for any of the contacts but i find this works well
Hope that helps

Yes thanks, all begins to make sense now and I have the PI hack working nicely now. Did you remap the All People Softkey through SSMaPa too? Replacing POutlook.exe?
Where did you guys get that slide to unlock application with the HTC colours? is it in the skin imbeded?
The app is s2u2 by A_C (brilliant by the way)
the skin is from the first post of this thread for s2u2

I've seen some orange home screen for spv c550 or c600 mobile. It has two columns and it is very helpfull home screen solution.
Have you tried yet to install that kind of home screen layout.

just google L-Columns.v2.home.xml and i found that you need some orange.dll but i don't know where to put it.
This theme mentioned above has facade and fizz weather in one column.
also orange default theme in SPV smartphone models has nice solution but you cannot access with xml. When i open orange.home.xml there are only few lines. Some basic stuff as title, icon bar and organge plugin function in couple of lines.
If someone figures out how to successfully create columns in a CPR I will be ecstatic. I have tampered with the Columns="" and Rows="" parameters in the Titanium CPR so much, and still can't find a way to do it. For now, I dont actually think it is possible to have a two-column or two-row CPR Homescreen (at the moment). I do hope this gets some attention (and maybe a solution)!

I've found solution and it works.
As i said just download L-Columns.v2.home.xml and install JRulez_OHSP.cab because it saves orange.dll somewhere in the phone.
Now i have RJTime (analog) clock and date on the left side of my home screen and SMS/MMS/Mail on the right side.
I still dont get why every uploaded theme and every thread about home screen design in this Excalibur subforum is about C-home theme.
My personal opinion is that you can create most powerfull theme, most "business one" theme in classic way, creating good xml theme with couple of plugins and couple of programs as RightKey etc.
xmarkom - Can you please upload these files to this thread, or post direct links to them. i would be very interested in making a theme using this concept (and adding it to my CycloneSkins collection). I tried google, but I couldn't find anything relevant.
Thanks a bunch!
(By the Way the "CHome" layout is named because of the CHome panel which is the panel which tells you how many missed calls, SMS, MMS, and Voicemail you have. This panel is a significant part of the CHome layout in terms of efficiency. I believe that is why it is called the CHome layout, although in the 6.5 roms it is the Titanium Layout, and in 6.1 and below it is called Sliding Panels Layout)
any screnshots??

ok but i'm seek of this titanium layout and sliding panels layout because everybody talk about that, and thats all the same thing.
xml traditional home layouts should be better.
Wouldn't agree and if i personally wanted a old home screen i'd stick with WM6 to which is cumbersom looks like a dinosaur and not as tweakable as 6.1 or 6.5.
Can you please upload the files that peeps asked for as a google search with that criteria will get them no where...
please post link, i would like to have this
