Hello does someone know if it is possible to change the green Commanger?
I already changed the phonepad from green to the default Microsoft skin, but now the commanager is still GREEN......
Let me know if you know how to do it, or if it is possible to copie the commanager.exe from another device...
Grtz.
Marvie
Yes
tons of new types of comms in cab form for install.
i didn't find any tool that makes WM6 themes .
the WM6 themes are different than WM5 in few ways . like the bottom and upper bar are 3d ,
so if anyone knows a tool or app that creates WM6 themes please advise me .

Hi - build wm6 themes is v similar to wm5 themes albeit a few differences. I am plannig to write a minitutorial but not sure when this will done because i am cooking a rom at the moment.
For the app use my friend BenThon's app - ThemeGen CE http://www.codeppc.com/telechargements/themegence/themegence.htm
it now runs under vista
Follow my guide for wm5 themes here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=275907
To keep the 3d bars - use basehue to define the colors or Navigation bar color 1 (do the same thing)
1st change for wm6
Do not use these keys in the key section Color_SoftkeyFlatCentre and Color_TitleFlatCenter as they will give you flat bars.
2nd change for wm6
You can use standard format theme or start image theme still in wm6 but most of the wm6 have orientation P & L themes. (portrait and landscape)
Thats all for now.
Tips from BenThon - author of ThemeGenCE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you cannot figure out all options of ThemeGenCE and nevertheless want to adapt - easily - a theme from this thread (borealcool themes,
black in Black with screen 320x240, same scheme colors) to your wishes, follow these steps :
1) Download one the themes above (in this thread).
2) Launch it in ThemeGenCE. Do not close the program !
3) In the bottom left panel, define the 3 items :
a) Define Folder for saving the new theme.
b) Define File Name for the new theme.
c) Define Internal Name for the new theme.
4) Build your 2 images (with the software you want, Paint, Photoshop... In bmp, gif, jpg or png. Windows Mobile and also Desktop Windows do not care about the extension of the image. It recognize the real format, independently of the extension. That is the reason why, for simplification, in ThemeGenCE I always put ".gif" extension.).
a) one for Portrait Mode. (240x294 pixels)
b) one for Landscape Mode. (320x214 pixels)
5) Copy the 2 images in the same folder as the program ThemeGenCE.
6) Delete the 2 existing files in this folder :
stwater_240_320.gif
stwater_320_240.gif
7) Rename your 2 images :
Portrait Mode Image to stwater_240_320.gif
Landscape Mode Image to stwater_320_240.gif
8) Go back in ThemeGenCE program and save the theme by clicking the fourth button of the main toolbar. You do not see update of the
images in ThemeGenCE but your new theme is now created with your own Images ! I have built the ThemeGenCE program to verify "on
idle" if the images have changed, so new images are incorporated in the theme even if the preview is not systematically updated.
9) You can verify that your new theme is really created. Exit from ThemeGenCE and relaunch it with your new Theme.
@meschle
thanx a million , now i will try to make my first theme

is there a way to change the colour of the top start bar text???

Not really - if you change navigation bar color text - it only changes for a second when you apply the theme it then reverts. It was meant for wm2003.
You can change the color of the text of the bottom bar Color_CommandbarText in the wm5\keys section but not the top.
BenThon have you any suggestions? Is there a key we have missed out for the top bar color text?
Friendly, mark
wm2003 themes works too
the upper and button bar is
just like the bars on other versions
as it it's only asigned colour
nothing more

Sorry Mark, "I am a poor lonesome programmer... " and I have not WM6 device!
But I am waiting for your precious advices to adapt ThemeGenCE for WM6, if "theming" without plugins is still actual...
Thanks for your help and your support, Mark.
Friendly, Benoît
Thanks BenThon - i think the key in question is the same as with wm5. I am poor 2 and do not have wm5 device to test.
take care
Dialpad CAB
How do you incorporate a customised Dialpad into the theme?
Not possible i hace tried. Although a tsk file is really a cab file it does not work the way its expected. The only way would be to install it all by cab but then the theme would not show under setting\today. (theme would be installed by the images not tsk) Better to do them separately.

I think it is possible !!!
If you don't name the file with TSK extension, but with CAB extension.
I think I have seen this in a forum.
And maybe a soft reset after...
Hi BenThon Yes i have installed this way e.g. with my first orientation themes - only problem is when you switch theme the today screen theme is lost because the theme.tsk was not installed only stwater.gif etc..
It will be ok for a one off installation but a problem when you switch themes.
Friendly - your pal.
ThemeGenCE V 2.5 - Preview WM6
ThemeGenCE version 2.5 has been recompiled with Delphi 2007 for Win 32 which allows to develop Vista compatible applications. ThemeGenCE stays compatible with earlier Windows versions.
Some minor bugs have been corrected.
This version now gives a new preview for the last Windows Mobile OS : WM6.
On the main form, there is a new button (on the right side in the middle) above the preview button already available in ThemeGenCE version 2.0. This button gives a preview for Windows Mobile 2002, 2003, WM5 et WM6, with a preview for "Today" and "Start" pages in portrait and landscape.
{
"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"
}
Below this button, you have the preview with "Skin" PDA choosen. WM5 or WM6 preview in the Skin PDA can be selected in the radiogroup (NB : this option is saved in a file for futher use).
Precisions about the algorithm for choosing Bars Hue (attempting to do the Microsoft algorithm) will be given in ThemeGenCE forum from CodePPC (also in english. "Poor english", sorry). Soon...

How can I put the 3D bars in WM5? To tell you the truth,thats the only attraction I have to WM6.
Algorithm for choosing Bars Hue (upper and lower)
Algorithm for choosing Bars Hue (upper and lower) with WM5 and WM6
Here is the method ThemeGenCE uses to attempt to simulate Microsoft algorithm for the choice of the upper and lower Bars Hue with WM5 and WM6.
Color 5 is the navigation bar color (Color 1).
With WM6 Bars are 3D. But if you define Specific keys like these one :
"Color_SoftkeyFlatCenter"
"Color_TitleFlatCenter"
they become "flat". Thanks to Meschle, for this precision.

Don't forget that ThemeGenCE can make themes for WM 2003 to WM6... I understand that it may be a little confusing for those who have not followed OS evolution. The preview on the main page is for WM 2003. You can have previews for new OS by clicking on the buttons on the right middle of main page.

How To Make Themes Using ThemeGenCE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mv4C1KsY0S0
hey guys just installed this great program but for whatever reason my "my programs" panel shows a pic of a red x and 1 - 11 are for word mobile why is it like this no matter if i change it or not.
i can help you, but first wat does oldsap do
oldSap is a programmer
o ok that makes sence, well all of the program link being set to word mobile is the default, u need to install the CHome Configurator cab to edit and customise the panels, it comes with neo order but all that does is change the order of the panels i believe. heres a link to the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393104&highlight=chome+configurator
EDIT
I just realized oldsap favorites does the exact same thing, but yeah just change it
This is my beloved black/green original HTC Manila theme and maybe a "reference" for others manila skinner.
Black default HTC theme for graphics & default green highlights for all colored components (checkbox, buttons and so on)
no screen needed as we all known default htc black theme
developed and tested with itje's latest build, currently T-mobile one from 6.1 2.604 kitchen. Feel free to try on other roms, it should work, but keep in mind that results may be different.
why 2 cab? to separate "static" graphic elements form indicators, selectors and so on. It's a huge work, done once for all (I hope ).
guap Manila Default Black.cab contains only "static" graphics (tabs, bars...)
guap Manila Green Hilights.cab contains only "skinnable" items (selectors, checkbox, buttons) to keep simple for others to change colors on their own without having to search all of them.
If you want i.e. to make a "red" theme, just edit files in Highlights.cab and you're ready
Or if you want to have black back on your t-mobile manila but keeping the blue/gray selectors and indicators, you can install only Default Black
How to install: disable manila, install cab (always to device if asked!!!), then re-enable manila. Soft reset shouldn't be required, but has to be the first option in case of weird behaviours
All cabs are unistallable and shold be an harmless process, but ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP with something like sprite backup or spb backup.
Other goodies
guap Green Fingermenu.cab for default green fingermenu
guap Green UsbToPC.cab for default green UsbToPC popup
guap Manila Green EnlargeStartMenu.cab for green EnlargeStartMenu
guap Manila Blue T-Mobile EnlargeStartMenu.cab for restore t-mobile colors on EnlageStartMenu (as this requires registry entries, isn't sufficient to uninstall the green one)
guap Manila Green Taskmanager.cab for green TaskManager (tnx to itje)
guap Manila Blue T-Mobile Taskmanager.cab for restore t-mobile colors on TaskManager (as this requires registry entries, isn't sufficient to uninstall the green one)
Default Indicators.zip once for all, some files MUST to stay green, i.e. the stock chart indicators: they are these files, if you get fuzzy stock indicators installing a custom theme, drop this in \windows and should be fix
Fix
guap Manila raindrop fix.cab t-mobile manila has ugly rains, probably messed up during blu-colorizing process: this will fix ugly raindrop on weather tab
Sorry about rapid, but this manila doesn't support cfc, these 2 are too big for the board:
guap Manila Default Black.cab -> http://rapidshare.com/files/216177011/guap_Manila_Default_Black.cab
guap Manila Green Hilights.cab -> http://rapidshare.com/files/216177012/guap_Manila_Default_Green_highlight.cab
...reserved...
Nice! Are different colors coming in the futue?

Realized that this is still missing the new modifications to the dialer..
but those have to be done in the registry, which is a lot of work.

wich modification? This is related to manila only, manila isn't supposed to have a dialpad
can you post a screen?
@tomzibad: of course, open package with m9editor, extract clock png (they are clearly recognized ) and make your own color
Is there anyway to change to selection colour for the notification manager?
When I click it, it's still the same colour that I got rid of everywhere else. I still have a weird blue/grey/purple colour. And I would like the green in the notifications manager.
uhm maybe I missed it. Take a look in the latest kitchen, components are sort by directory, should be simple to find the misssed bmp for notification manager

thanks guap for your cabs, very useful.
I installed them to remove t-mob customizations in the rom i use. I wanted to rollback to default HTC classic scheme.
But after applying the cabs, the UI remains the same, strange to me, even the flip-clock (I don't like t-mob white-on-black clock). Your cab contains both square backgrounds, as well as digits, suppose the digits are white and the background is black in your cab file?
Pls advice, howto revert to black-on-white flip-clock?

Hi. I have problem with distorted graphics on the email tab (email account select). Any1 has experience with this problem? I am using green buttons, selectors etc. and Itjes 7+ final or Smabergs 6.2 ROMs
Dear knaplullig, guap
I noticed a problem, after installing Plain HD TF3D.cab,
my start menu stopped working (before when tapping on 'start', I had programs menu, not the classic start menu).
Which .manila file is to blame?
Dear All,
anyone, who uses this Plain TF3D tweak, do your start menu work ok?
Mine (I had programms when tapping 'start' -- before installing Plain TF3D cab) just stopped responding to taps. Winkey on Hw keyboard works (old-style start menu).
Anybody has suggestion, what has to be corrected in order to have responding startmenu back again?
FOUND!
I've found the file which froze startmenu.
It's 5c9aa261_manila. Can it be fixed somehow?

not to reflash you just have to re-instal and then remove the program.

[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
