I *MIGHT* have found something....

Ok, first of all, can someone point me to a screen capture software? I know that smart tool kit can do it, but i dont like all the other things it does. Ok, now on to the thing i *MIGHT* have found.
Each one of the sliding panels has an icon on the top left that represents what its function is for that panel. I found a way to change those icons. Im not sure if this has been done, but if it hasnt i wouldnt mind showing you guys how to change that icon. Once i get a hold of that software, ill take a screen cap to show you guys. The easy way to change them to a color icon is by simply relocating the location of each icon using the registry. Windows Mobile 6 has color icons availalbe of all the white icons we get with a stock WM6.1 device. I dont know why MS or HTC for that matter, chose the plain jane white icons, but i decided to just map them to the color icons in the set that MS includes. Not only does the sliding panels look nice with the NRG icon bar on top, but if you really wanted to change the icons to whatever you want, you can do that. By simply using a PE explorer to view the bronzeres.dll, and moddifing the icons by injecting them in place of the ones you are linking to.
Once again, im not sure if you guys know how to change them or not.

for the software, check your pm's

For screen capture I use

As far as changing the icons on the panels do you mean like this
Notice that I change the icon when a panel becomes selected.

Exactly like that. I know you can change the icon, like one can be 2301;2300 on the registry so it becomes "active" when you scroll to it. Ive been digging into the .dll's and registry ALOT the past 2 days, ive become....obsessed with it, really. Thats why i thought i might have "discovered" something.

Ive found some "Developer Modes" as well. Enter code *#*#364#*#*, and it displays some info that i dont really understand.

yea and you can also use icons outside of the .dll too.
look at these screenshots and see that they are nothing like the default ones that come in the .dll

Hahaha
very nice Dude, switching up the dlls lol...

Yea i changed all my GF's icons on her Dash. Heres something off topic, after people have seen the WM6.1 and the hacks ive done to my phone, ive made about 6 people buy the S620...lol.
On another note, how on earth do you change the background on the start menu? Ive seen some posts about this buy they all seem either confusing or wrong. Also, is it possible to change the icons on the top when the start menu is showing so that its consistent with the home color icons by NRG?

Can you post up the changes to make to the registry to enable all of these icons you're using? I'm assuming they are the stock WM6.0 icons?
Thanks.

Change 6.1 Clock font and style

well, now im working with Kavana's 6.1 rom and i'm satisfied for now, except:
i yesterday flashed my Witzard to 6.1 and there i could modify the style of the clock shown on home-screen. (so from the ugly LCD-Font to some 3d-like textured font.) Is there a similar way on the S620 to change the clock-style?
and - any chance to change to clock in the titlebar (in programs) from 12-hour am/pm to 24 hour-mode?

In your Windows directory on your phone you will find this file CHome_320x240.cpr if you copy onto comp and open up with notepad you will see all the panels and the text associated to these you can edit font size position etc, keep a copy of your original .cpr and then do your edits and place back on phone, you can use CHomeRefresh to update your homescreen rather than rebooting phone, place the file on phone and run after edits.
Free fonts @ dafont.com
Everytime you place a font in the windows dir on phone reboot then place the ammended .cpr on phone and run CHomeRefresh.
The name of the font needed is the font name not the file name the font name can be found by clicking on font file on comp.

whoooooo. im give this a try...

Damm Stylez, ya beat me to the reply lol
Must admit, im loving your screen.....ive got about 4 .cpr to choose from now. Follow Stylez post and ya cant go wrong. Laters Bud

thanks for the info, it worked.

Thanks shaz3 for comments, chilly and me been working lots on fonts .cpr over the last week
satani glad it worked any chance of a screeny?
The main things to play with in the .cpr are FontFamily= which is the name of the font you want there Top: This is how far down from the panel larger number further down, left: space from left of panel "changes for clock as it's @ 0 so to move left you use - small increasements as -30 moves alot to left", The other is FontStyle which can be changed to "Bold"
Just another thing to add and thats if you put the date in the center to which is left:120 then the wi-fi will cover over the clock and make it look unclean, you can delete this line of text:
<!-- WiFi -->
<Text ID="WiFi" Left="15" Top="81" Width="145" Height="19" FontFamily="Nina" FontSize="9" FontStyle="Regular" Wrap="False" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Trimming="EllipsisCharacter"></Text>
Just make sure there is no space and the next line buts up so as it will now look like this
<!-- Alarm -->
<Image ID="Alarm" Left="282" Top="8" Width="22" Height="22"/>
</Layer>
</Layer>
<Layer ID="ClockCondensed" Visible="False" Width="320" Height="36">
Now on CClock it wont display the Wi-Fi connecting but you have an icon @ top anyway.
Have fun
Have attached a txt of remove wi-fi as it loses composition in thread.

It be nice if someone could come up with a chome clock styles cab that you could install and have different ones to choose from, though I wouldn't mind learning how to make my own.

Check this out and then play with .cpr and fonts

If you follow Stylez instructions on this post and use the cpr/dll file changer then you can just make ya own cpr files and use the font style of your choosing. Along with a decent background pic, your gonna end up with a seriously personalised phone.

Thats cool the .dll changer you will need 2 .dla files in the dir to be able to choose one, i copied a .dla and renamed to b.dla in there so all the .dla files could be chosen, named b.dla as it always @ the top of the list.

sure ... here ya go:
well, i used the background before in 6.0 where i had date, operator and time right below the top-bar and only recent programs and calendar in one line at the bottom ... but still looks good.

Cool screeny
You could edit the .cpr for the date and operator to all be centered?

here ya go guys....just an example of how you can move the time, date and operator logo by playing with the .cpr file. Big thanks to Stylez. Its a working team bud lol

There is no tutorial for it here that I know of, but search the forum. The thing people normally miss is extracting the bitmaps from phcanImages.dll.

Thanks will give it a more indepth bash...
I've tried extracting the images, changing them and putting them back into the dll. This doesn't work, where do I put them after I've modified them? Straight into windows directory?

No you are right, they are to be inserted into the DLL again after edit.
Pointer #1. Take great care not to change bitmaps properties when editing. Must be EXACT same format when reinsterted.
Pointer #2. Remember to sign the DLL after save. This can be done with msigner (search forum).

OK, let me give that a bash when I get a chance. Thanks, appreciate the input.
Still no luck, the files have 1kb difference in size, but I'm not sure I'm using msigner properly. every time I use it I get an error 80070057.

You have to unsign the dll before editing, search the forum for "unsigner". Same usage as singning after editing

Damn, so many little pointers.
Thanks for all the help. I finally managed to get the new dll across, but not all the images are being over written. I'll have to check and see if there is an over riding image somewhere.

black dialer
Sorry, but there is a question left for me:
How do I change the ( white) background behind the telefonnumbers?
It is not a bmp or png file. - (for examplel :from the backgroundfile for the dialer is only used the grey coloured piece.)
It seems to be a dll file. Maybe phcanImages.dll .
But my knowledge is not good enough so i don´t know if it is the korrect file and if it is i don´t knowhow/what to change.
Do anybody have a tip?
Edit: I read the thread once more and see that you change the dll. So I chang my question : can you share the changed file? I don´t know if it works on my phone but mabe it is helpful for me or others .
If you do so- can you tell how/what you changed ?
thanks for sharing and sorry for my english

Contact Highlight
How do I change the highlight behind the contact, the whole bar. I've edited all the green out of phcanImages.dll, but still it lingers. Is it somewhere else?

The way I got to my color is:-
1. open it in a graphic editor
2. invert the color
3. use invert color RGB (in Hex) in registry.
Not perfect but it's a good starting point.

Text Colour when Highlight selected
Also need to change
HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE\SmartDial\ClrMatchText_Sel REG_DWORD 0x00000000
so when you select the entry the highlight text changes too, as highlight changes to white.

Thanks for the answer, maybe I explain it not very good:
I want to change the background of the text( the background of the whole text not only the selected number), not the textcolour.

[TUT] Transparent Wallpapers for 3VO ROMS

You guys have been asking for it, here it is. Kinda a rough dirty way of doing it but here goes...
This will not be easy to do for newbies or people with no image editing experience. You need some Photoshop or other photo editing understanding and experience to accomplish the desired result. Eventually WM 6.5 Stanard will hopefully start supporting full screen wallpapers and transparent softkeybars or I will write an app the will automatically convert a wallpaper for you but for now...
You will need:
Your wallpaper that you want to convert (320x240)
black_softkeybar.png from \Windows on phone running a 3VO ROM (320x26)
Photoshop or similar photo editing app
The goal here is to cut out the bottom 26 pixels of your wallpaper and paste it to the black_softkeybar.png file. Then crop the wallpaper image to 320x214 top justifying. Your result will be 2 images, wallpaper.png (or .jpg) and black_softkeybar.png (must be .png, same as original filename).
Then, copy black_softkeybar.png back to \Windows on the phone and wallpaper.png to \Application Data\Home. To select it, go to Settings, Home, select wallpaper.png as your wallpaper. In order for the softkeybar image to show up, you have to reboot.
Might take some practice but give it a shot...

Not too different....
Use your explorer to go into the SmartToolKit folder (Program Files/SmartToolKit) and then into the Skins folder (/Skins). In there you will see either one or many folders (or none if you don't have a separate skin installed). If you dont have a skin installed, google it. they are not hard to find... Once you install a skin, you will notice a file called 320x240.skin or something similar...open it with notepad (on your phone or computer) and look where it says "start bar" (commented out) ... there will either be one or more image files listed there...in either case, delete them and drop the blackbar.png file you made into this folder and in place of those other file(s) name(s) put in that one. Restart STK and you should be fine.
EDIT: If you want a cleaner way of doing this, also notice in that same 320x240 file there one for the start icon (1 for activated, 1 for non-activated)...you should remake those files to match the skin you are using on your homescreen if not, you will have your tranparent skin, and on the Start button area you'll have something totally different...

Here are a few:

Calling all programmers!
Also, I'm not a programmer but if anyone wants to take a shot a writing an app that can take a 320x240 wallpaper and cut it up into the two files to automatically create these themes, by all means!!! Go for it!
The mscr file I wrote in the Transparent Wallpaper pack CAB on the first post of this thread contains the registry settings and file locations for it to work right....
Anyone up for the challenge??

i think i made a mistake!?!?
can i have the original black_softkeybar.png file,
i think you know what i did.

I think you'll like this one, WM 7 style, though it's not transparent^^
BTW I also have the correct bronzeres.dll if you want the panels to look like WM7!

Sports Themes
Would be cool if we started sports theme ones. Like football, basketball, hockey and baseball.

Should be a copy of it in \Program Files\3VO\Transparent Wallpaper. Or just run the Transparent Wallpaper app I wrote in Start Menu\Tools and select Revert to Original.

[TUT] Changing the system and menu fonts

i am sure that in the same registry keys used to change font some of the others values are what control size and weight of the font, but i am not sure what numerical value you would need to put in to change it...i will leave that open to the seasoned forum people...you could cheat and just get a font with a smaller appearance from somewhere like here.

if i want to make my font half size from the original, which one should i change?

it changes the system font, as well as the font of the drop menus.....in other words, it covers just about everything font related (i am uncertain about the icon text for the start menu...i use 3vo and hide them...it changes the text at the top bar, though...)

Testing
It was impossible for me not to try this tweak
Results on my S620:
Only change that seems relevant is the one on HKLM\System\GDI\SYSFNT\Nm.
Changes on the other 2 keys had no effect.
None of the 3 keys changed the font for:
Start Menu labels
Opera Mini
Contacts list
Text messages
And other things...
It did change font used by Internet Explorer on its UI. When browsing with it, results are mixed.
I am particularly interested in changing the font for Start Menu labels. Well... not even the font itself: would make me happy just to make them "Bold". Fiddled with the Wt value on the 3 keys but saw no change. Anyone knows how to do that?

it doesnt change all the font on windows. only part of it. im using wm 6.1. so, exactly, how to change all the font on windows?? is it possible?? need help.. thanks.

Try some of these Ive had some luck changing the barfnt,popfnt,or OOmfnt,but depending on the font used looks a little iffy, so I mainly stick with the sysfnt.

Please reply on this silly matter !!
Hey guys wanna change the fonts and menu but not gettin the registry edit please guide thru.

thanks for the reply..

The simplest method to change your Windows Mobile Core Font!
Take two font files (one for normal and one for bold attribute)
Rename the normal font as segoe.ttf (only if its truetype font) and the bold font as segoeb.ttf
Replace the /Windows/segoe.ttf and /Windows/segoeb.ttf with the ones you renamed above. Reboot and Viola!
To Change again you have to restart ur phone once before over-writing again or use your favorite file replacer
