Check this Homescreen i came up with

took old tmobile blue homescreen did some editing and came up with this used the background from staulkor's from howard so kudos but i did edit the screens to work nicley here is a pic for some reason the one from staulkors kept showing the myfavs bubbles on screen so all i did was use the same background and edited the tmobile blue.xml to look like this first one i did so im still trying to figure out how to do this also have the black scheme to go with if anyeone is interested. what you all think??

i like it, i especially like how the carrier, time, and date are spaced out nicely. That's one thing that most homescreens lack

Um dude, this screen is old. I have had that for months. Someone else posted it a long time ago. Its called Black Dask.

really all i did was i found the one posted under black jack but for some reason myself and others the myfaves keeped turning on so all i did was edit the t-mobile blue xml and added the background from blackdash in it there where some commands where missing in the blackdash theme i downloaded like i said it came from staulker i belive none the less thanks for letting me know

i still like it lol

Hi - where to get it from? I like it very much, but here there is only a thumbnail attached, right?
Is also the calling dialog customized with these files?:
HTC_BrandingBrickImg_320x27
HTC_CallProgressBkg_320x186
HTC_WallpaperImg_320x240
I never seen a homescreen for s620 with that customized images.
So the result is e.g. grey theme, but still the default green calling dialog images.

You might like this one (I made it):

ok can still anybody publis the homescreenplease? I dont have it and cannot find it.

here it is the home screen i posted that i edited along with the blackscheme cab file to make it look like all black.
to make all black you homescreen layout needs to be at Grey Dash and your color scheme at black bars and your background image to default.
to get the all grey look color scheme and background set to default
enjoy!

thank you guys! it's nice!
do you know, how to make it that I don't have that green graphics on the calling application after I installed the new homescreen (see thumbnails)?

Thanks its great, and the green call screen can you change by jeyo personalizer whith another one

Thanks a lot, and the green screen can you change whith jeyo personalizer, to anyone

Can you make the Windows Basic layout in Grey ?

use this to change the dial pad operator from the green htc to this just install the cab and i think you'll like it just reset the device after install
save to storage
install
reset
and dial out and see
its basic but cool forgot where i found it though so kudos to whoever came up with it

HTC Home Plugin Changes

Please see second post for some new icons and a fix for the selected item bezel problem that occurred with my original set of icons.
Thanks to all for your support and positive comments. I am really surprised at how popular this little thread has become. It seems a lot of people are interested in modding their today HomePlugin with new clock fonts, icons, etc. and there are some talented folks contributing some very nice graphics on this thread. Thanks for your efforts!
The new Kaiser Home Plugin is superior to the one we've been using til now, and it is available in color here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316107. The actual number digits are still white in the Kaiser version though, but the same "colorized" digits I posted below will work fine with it.
Hello all,
I really liked the HTC Home Plugin, but its stark white clock digits didn't go well (I thought) with Custel's Black theme that I have installed. So I made some files with different colored digits to replace the stock ones. I just replaced the ones in the Windows folder of my device with the ones in the archives below. Choose the color you prefer, extract the files and make sure that you don't have the plugin selected in your Today Items before you try to replace the stock files. You can either use Explore from ActiveStink or copy them onto your memory card and then transfer to your Windows folder. I also included the original digits in case you want to go back to basic white. Enjoy!
P.S. I'm waiting for permission from Schaps to post an additional archive with the improved Vista-like icons he uses in his ROM. The original icons provided by HTC are way too plain.

Here's an example of the EBlue
Note: I attached the transparent and "spotlight" versions for the button backgrounds. Use the Transparent Bezel to fix the left and right bezel problem as reported by Binyo later in this thread. The Spotlight with icons version is based on JUVS color icons for the Kaiser version. It gives a nice "stage light" appearance to the selected icon and a darkened shadowy icon for the unselected items. You can get the complete set of icons with the spotlight or just the spotlight by itself if you already have icons you prefer (I changed JUVS house icon for example, to one I liked better. You might have done the same.). These work with the original and Kaiser version of the plugin.
Thanks to Schaps for giving me permission to distribute his very nice icons!
HTCHIcons.zip - Here is a package of Schaps' Vista-look icons with some other files that give more transparency to the HTC Home Plugin. These are to be extracted and copied to your device's Windows folder to replace the stock ones. Screenshot is no longer attached, sorry.
TranspSpotlight Clor Icons.zip - These are the new "stagelight' version. See screenshot below.
Here's what it looks like on my today screen:

Looks good, thank you.

Very nice thanks for sharing.

Missing file
Good job! Thank you.
The only problem is when I tried to go back to the original color I find that the HH_HOME_seperator.png file is missing from the HTCHbkup folder.
Can you please post that file?
Thank you for doing that
Also, is there any way to make green digits? (like the metrix)
Thanks again.

Sorry, I am assuming you already have Schaps' ROM, it is already enhanced. I made these for folks who wanted to use the HTC Home plugin with Schaps' icons no matter what ROM they used. True your clock is white, but other than changing the files at the source and recreating the ROM I don't think it can be done.
For Schaps and anyone else who is a big fan of purple, here's a set that goes well with Schaps' today image background...

Try using something besides the regular file explorer - like Total Commander or Resco Explorer - and changing the read only flag. It actually works - usually. Give it a shot. Good luck.

If you mean the background, I picked it up at this forum. Unfortunately the copy I have is only 320x240 and cuts off when in landscape mode. If I find a 320x320 version I'll send it to you.

Found one!
For anyone who liked the background *this is really getting off topic here, moderators feel free to move this thread if possible* I found one at www.wallpaper9.com that I cropped to 320x320 and modified by tinting it darker blue. I like the darker blue, but I'm including the original color too. In case anyone doesn't know this little trick: copy it to your device, then use the Pictures and Videos app to find it. Tap and hold for the context menu and select to set as today... This way you can set the transparency to 0, otherwise it gets washed out. You could also set the transparency to anything else you like of course.

Replace green Windows Mobile splash screen

I was screwing around with Schap's Advanced Config, and saw the location of the windows mobile splash screen. So, I created a replacement screen that I also use form my S2U2 lock wallpaper. So all I see when I boot my phone is this pic continuously. Attached is the pic, but if you want to replace it, just replace the file /windows/welcomehead.192.png with a 480x800 .png of your choice using total commander or resco explorer. I noticed the green original image is 800x800, however as a splash screen pic you don't see half of it. Replacing it with a 480x800 image works fine. If anyone would like a variation of this pic please post up and i'll make it. Enjoy!

StartUpImg_DMDO_000.bmp is the image that appears right after the startup animation just before homescreen boot. It's the only thing I've found so far. I replaced it with a windows phone image instead of at&t worldphone. I think the rest are all part of the StartUpAni_DMDO_000.dll

Ok im going back to b00n school for this one :S.

This means we can add custom startup animations!
Then the StarUpAni.dll holds the startup sound. (Sry if this is all old info i thought it was big )
But to this conversation the image in question is not in there...

What are you using to take apart the dlls? I tried to do it a month ago using Reflector but kept getting an error message (no cml header or cli header I forget). It was giving me the same error message trying to take apart some taskbars dlls to make one that works for everything including the start icon.
In any event that's excellent news. I'd like to take apart this animated gif in animation shop and use it if possible.

LG doesn't seem to use a welcomehead.192 Since you're on AT&T also you know how after the annoying bars animation with the loud noise and then it goes to a white screen that says AT&T Worldphone? That white worldphone image is the StartUpIMG_DMDO_000.bmp. I used a png file from the link I posted and renamed it to .bmp and replaced it and now it shows the black windows phone logo. I'm going to have to take a look in that dll and see about replacing the startup animations it uses by taking apart some WVGA gifs and replacing the images.
Since you had posted about it on lg-expo and here about taskbars; I think the majority of the files for our taskbar is in the shellres.192.dll (if you wanna dissect that too). I tried replacing the 0409.mui and using icon demarrer to change the start icon like a thread on here said to to change the start icon and it didn't do anything. You've seen the taskbar I use (taachan's dusk) and it changes everything properly but the start icon, however if you look for the dusk taskbar in the Rhodium forums that taskbar changes everything except the antenna bars and the bluetooth icon (it does change the start icon and comes in two flavors, start icon w/text and without). It might be possible to take them both apart and find out what works from one and not the other and make one that will work on our devices as well as figure it out to make other ones.

Yes it appears that they dont use a welcomehead tho the windows image(the red&orange one) has to be coming form somewhere... everything else is coming from the files listed above.
yea i have also been looking into the taskbars ALOT, but i havent found out why yet that the Dusk taskbar works. The reason that the others dont is because our phones phones are using a separate dll(current i cant find it) for the network signal icons. I havent given up yet tho...ill keep looking lol.

I think I had found the orange windows screen one day while going thru the windows folder but don't recall where it was I'll look again when I get some downtime at work.

Edit: 2nd cab is with any bug correction

Hello ppl,
I used it, it works really nice. 3kb cab file... so simple..
.. here are some pics as looks on my system.
I used a dull gray backgound for pictures..
You can drag and drop the elements in the position you want in order to set up order.. that works pretty fine.
Now, question is, any possibility to have bigger characters on the screen ? as this looks too small.. or at least to have them in one line only ? not white / yellow thing as on the screen ? only white and bigger - similar to windows default theme ? maybe more spaced.. but definitely larger characters.
Brgds,
Radu

hi,
if you ask me, i would like to have white letters only.
similar size, a little smaller than theme.
ideea would be to look consistent with theme default.
maybe...the "loupe" effect is it possible?

This a simple css not a app. The fonts it's the original windows.

Hello again Mike,
Here are two pictures of actual look and what i think would look better.
Is about taking out the yellow writing all together, it does not make sense to have same thing written twice, it looks cluttered.
Unless, let's say, if there is a folder which has more than one icon inside it, like for example the Tools or Settings folder. There will have to have the big white letter for title and in yellow letters, below, the content of the folder.
Size of the yellow letter seems fine for me.
As for the white letter, maybe one single size increase, like from Tahoma12 to Tahoma 13 ( and/or bolded ) so that would look closer to original windows default theme. But, not too much as it looks now, "Microsoft My Phone" is very long and would go out of the screen on the right side..
My ideea would be to have same aspect once navigating in between main theme and control panel.
"Loupe" effect, is the highlight ( or magnify lens ) that is placed on the active icon, like the effect for the clock tab, in the main theme. Or can you replace this with a underline for the title... i do not know if this is even possible..

Radu
PS: i would be really happy if i knew to tinker code here, not to bother you..
LE : started reading the post in original thread, maybe the yellow text can remain but made smaller to resemble tooltip description... small text that you really need to look closer to understand the meaning of the title if not displayed correctly...Somehow to differentiate title from description and create impression of separate "paragraphs", if that is right term.

Hello again Mike,
Here are two pictures of actual look and what i think would look better.
Is about taking out the yellow writing all together, it does not make sense to have same thing written twice, it looks cluttered.

WOW lol
Sorry your post is complexe for me, my english is not better for understand you lol
For the code, no prob use the 2 files in attachement. For edit use notepad++ and replace the original in windows folder and softreset.
Tahoma 13 is the font of titanium? it's not a probleme for replace the font in start menu.

Thank you man, that's what i want, also i see this become a very useful post.... nice!!

Hello Mike,
Maybe i'm too dumb for this...
Can't edit file in pda... is opened already ??
Nor can copy/paste - have no rights...
Can you manage to make the package once again, but without yellow characters, at all ?
Regards,
Radu
