Why don't we do sth similar for the Excalibur?

I agree. This could look good on our machines. And maybe I missed it somewhere along the line, but how is everyone getting the Vista style start menu with Tasks instead of Contacts?

1. Those look like "portrait" devices...
and 2. I think my excal looks almost identical in res, but I got bad eyes

Did anyone see this page or use this tool?

I'm going to try it now. Let ya know how it goes. *Fingers crossed.
**UPDATE - Ok. Well. Installed it, ran the .cab. Rebooted. Now it just sits on the Windows Mobile boot screen. Haven't given it a WHOLE lot of time yet, but ActiveSync won't pick up the phone so I can't reinstall the ROM. Any suggestions?

Just install some original ROM (from your brand) with the bootloader mode, and then you can install latest WM 6.1.. and don't play stupid games anymore
The default res is perfect to me... on VGA everything will become more small and unreadable .

I got it back up. (That's what she said! Haha!) Anyways, back to 6.1 the way I had it. Would like to get the resolution better though or at least try it just to see what it looks like.

Just changed a 2 registry values and my phone works fine in the higher resolution (been about 30 seconds, so far so good)
heres the ones u need to change from the VOX thread
Change [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\ Display\GPE\LogicalPixelsY] and LogicalPixelsX to 96 in decimal
when not on the homescreen using the colored battery indicator icons and such the icons don't show, they posted dll's for that in the VOX forum and I'm trying them out now, I'll let you all know.

thats it...just changed those two values, rebooted and it worked...issues with STK and the top white icons but the homescreen works fine and the phone itself works fine, biggest issue is with the system icons, if anyone knows how to mess with DLLs and is trying this out I would love the fixes to those issues. Because it looks a lot better this way.
Oh and I highly suggest if you go over to the VOX thread DO NOT install any of those cabs, they forced me to restore my phone...twice because I had to try it again from a fresh boot.

works like a charm, but there are issues in display of icons (look rough) and the top bar displays white squares.
I switched back, did not stick to spot the other issues, hope it will be resolved soon so we could all enjoy a better looking screen (more items visible)

works nicely
This works very nicely for me.
changed:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\ Display\GPE\LogicalPixelsY] and LogicalPixelsX to 96 in decimal
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\cxVscr
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\cyHscr
to 3
(the last gives narrower scrollbars)
The start menu now contains 3 rows with 5 icons each. So more icons are displayed at a time. For some reason, only 2 icons are displayed on each screen, though, so 3rd row has only 2 icons...

Dudes. This just makes icons and text smaller .
If you don't believe me - try with some white sqare - 200X200px and see it on a diferent "resolutions" - its the same .
This makes text unreadable... its too small for me.

i can read the text fine. everything is fine for me, I'm just looking/waiting for a fix with the system icons, but I can deal with them. I had my phone on for like 12 or so hrs now and no ill effects as of yet. So yea...we'll see.

Yah, I just tried the RegEdit and all my icons look like crap. It would be nice if we could get this resolution without the icons looking jagged, the black bar on the bottom of the screen, and the white squares on top.

CMyapps

Can someone upload the CMyApplication icons. PLease

there you go

here you go

Worked like a charm...Thank You

what is the use of this CMyapps?
thanks!!!

Creates a panel on your home screen. You are able to link an app to per page. This Reg file(s) have up to 20 pages.
App has to be stored on your phone or on your SD Card.
I think thats a simple explanation.

I'm unable to get the active/inactive icons to work using CHome Configurator. It shows a bloody red X even though I've inserted a URL to the icon I want to use.
Can someone help me? Thanks

i had the same problem but basically i went into Resco and unzipped each icon file individually and when i returned to the screen it was working ... hope that helps and maybe you can help me with something, when i putah this app on my phone and started it when i did i had nrg weather on my homescreen with the 5 day forecast panel but basically now that my apps is on there it doesnt show the 5 day panel anymore and i tried disabling one or more panels to see if it would come back and it didnt and i even tried changing the layout in the CHomeWeather settings ..... any suggestions

Blackjack2, if you already use the Chome Config utility, you can create as many pages you need after enabling/disabling the corresponding panels in it. You can also create multiple panels, as long as you give different names to them. There after if u go into HKLM/SW/MS/Chome, you can see your new panel/page listed there, and can change the icons, action URL, right soft key, title etc etc.. if u want to modify them (you can also do this thing via chome configurator)
Rickywatt has essentially provided reg entries to do this readymade, and has supplied a whole bunch of neat apps that u can give to each page, so that they will look cool on your homescreen

Im having some trouble i put both the files on my phone opend the CAApplication one and did the regestry thing and nothing looks diffrent..

Did u reset the homescreen? Or restarted the phone? Do u use Chome Configurator? If so, did u check whether the CApp panel is hidden? You will have to enable and SHOW it for it to be displayed on homescreen

Is there a way to backup all the setting in the sliding panels,so I dont have to do them all over again when I hard reset my phone? Thanks

very nice! how have you done that?

just replaced taskbar and bottom tabs. use crystal envelope on 'mail' tab also and a few other bits here and there which you cant see.
background goes through all the tabs as well, though annoyingly its slightly softer on the home tab. dont htink a fix has been found for this yet though!

So how's the iconset called ?

its really not very difficult if you search these forums.
the task bar for example, you'll need to install sdkcert cab (which i believe allows adjustments to rom files), then install the taskbar cab. thats all explained in the threads. the slider icons i used were again in a cab file.
generally anything thats compatable will tend to be explained well in the threads and installed in the same way as other 6.1 devices. be wary that this is a new phone though, so 100% compatable themes and the like arent going to be quite so plentyful as other phones!

ok no probs
thats why i have asked for a walk through from people who have done it on the TP2,
tried to alter the weather app the other night after doing a search couldnt get it to work then hamz22 did a walkthrough of what he did on a tp2 which was different to what i had been trying and it was spot on
i have sdk certs on so i will look for the task bar cab
thanks for the hlp

Hi Shingers5,
I really like the look of the icons on the bottom of your screen, any chance you can post a link to the cab or whatever it was you did to achieve this. Oh, and how did you change the colour of your clock?
Thanks

Titanium Layout for WM 6.5 Phones

Here is my rendition of the titanium sliding home screen.
I have included a cab file to install. After install, reboot, and then go to settings-->home screen-->and on the Layout, pick Titanium Media Topbar.
This was installed on NRG's 6.5 energy ROM so i don't have any testing on whether or not this works properly on ookbas 3Volution ROM. It also is intended with the topbar in mind. I'm not sure what it will not look like if you dont have the topbar already installed. Please use at your own risk. It should uninstall cleanly for anyone wanting to remove it, however if you have installed rickwyatts version it may leave behind some reminants, so you may want to try and uninstall his first before installing mine.
Thanks go out to NRGZ28, rickwyatt and frauhottelmann with their assistance in getting this layout to this point.
There is a settings panel right now, but it doesnt display any images. If anyone wants to talke this, let me know what a fix would be and i will include it in the .cab.
edit: I've included reflective gmail and yahoo mail icons as well for the mail panel
Here are some screenshots. :

Hope it works with my ROM

why is the right soft key set time and not contacts

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
A Because its the titanium panel layout
B Because you are on the time panel, not on a contacts panel.
its quite an easy change if you're familiar with editing the registry. go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Chome\CClock then edit the two values SK2TEXT and SK2URL..... change the SK2TEXT to read Contacts and the SK2URL to read :MSCONTACTS then exit your registry and if you have chome refresh use that. otherwise reboot your phone.

I have no idea, but you can try to just strip the background away and leave it transparent an make sure your custom icons are Centered correctly. I haven't had the problem you're having but in theory the transparent method might work.

if you just make the icon bg's transparent then they will still look fine if you change your notibar color (unless u change it to white )
OR
you could open up one of the icons that does match the notibar and copy/paste that gradient to the one you need to fix
also, I don't know if this would create a problem but I always make sure to save icons and such as "save for web and mobile devices" in photoshop

I did try to copy onto a gradient icon that did work. For some reason it still came out wrong as you see on the image.
"save for web and mobile devices" would this help with image size? Currently they are coming out nearly triple of stock. example stock icon=1.31kb modded icon=3.97. I'm sure stripping the gradient will help but is still huge compared to stock.

i use cs5 fireworks for editing all pngs and no change for editing .9's. like neb said you can either find each add'l file and redo filter repeatedly through all the bg's or you can just make them transparent like neb said.

This thing is frakin amazing!!

Ok so I took out everything except for what I needed. No gradient nothing else left but the white notification icon. Then exported it with "save for web & devices" (this helped on file size thanks) Now what its doing is, icon appears correctly when its slide down into position, but then the icon stock background color gets added on (wrong gradient). Its so quick but I can see it happening.
On the plus side some did change like all battery icons and wifi, but the rest seem to be doing what I explained above very frustrating. Ive attached one of the icon's that I'm working on if anybody whats to help me out.
Rom Fresh 0.3 if that helps any.
