[Dec 17]WPC: WallPaper Changer-Added Directory and Weather support - HTC Excalibur

Here's a wallpaper changer that will auto change at user set intervals with user's wallpaper. In options is the option to start it, stop it, set the number of wallpaper you want to include, the time interval in hours for the change, and which wallpaper directory to use.

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}
You will need a folder(anyname) filled with your wallpapers you want to use. After WPC install, place this wallpaper folder inside the WPC folder. It should work with any number of backgrounds, they just have to be inside a folder within the WPC folder and numbered in order starting with 1.jpg up to your chosen number. There are zip files below with some random wallpapers I put together. With option 3(Set Number), you can also set them to change in order(linear) or randomly.
To install:
1- Download and run cab file. It can be installed to main memory or storage card, wherever is convenient. If you don't already have mortscript installed, then you will need to reboot now to register extentions.
2- It won't work using default background in Settings\Display\Homescreen, so choose any other background in that option now if your still using default wm background.
3- Go to Start Menu and choose WPCoptions
4- Set wallpaper directory to use. When selecting directory, number of wallpaper is set automatically, but can be changed to a different number using option 3.
5- Set the update interval in hours, can be from 1 to ?.
6- Choose option 1, Start Wallpaper Changer
7- Thats it, first change should happen immediately and changes take about 5 seconds, but they run in background.
I've added support for FeatherWeather with this version also. If anyone wants another weather app supported, post here or pm me.
For FeatherWeather users that want weather activated wallpaper, download the Feather.zip below. Unzip and place Feather folder into WPC folder. Take the Feather.mscr and overwrite the original in FeatherWeather folder.
Thanks to roloracer for this idea, and for extended testing on his device.
Ver .2 - Initial release.
Ver .3 - Added directory support
Added FeatherWeather support

Hey Show , should I uninstall the beta version before I run this cab?

It should uninstall when you install the new one. And your options should still be saved to registry, you will just need to change number of wallpaper.

Cool, can wait to install the final version GREAT WORK.

Very Cool I'll have to check try this out!

This is great!
Been looking for something like this. I ran across one thing though, since it uses the FacadeRefresh.exe my colors that I set with AutoBaseHue were getting reset to default after every wallpaper change.
I added these two lines in the WPC.mscr:
Sleep(10000)
Run("\Windows\StartUp\ABHSetter.exe")
These were added at line 61 which is:
RunAt(timestamp()+(usertime*3600),instPath&"\WPC.mscr")
The 10 seconds gives the screen time to reload and then changes the color back to whatever it was before. This will only work if you have AutoBaseHue installed. I posted this earlier at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2969690&postcount=8
Not really a problem, but an annoyance for me, thanks for the script and the wallpapers.

Pretty cool. I want to use animated wallpapers though a la Windows Media Center and Windows Dreamscenes.

Nice find, thanks for the info, I'll post update later this week. I use a scheme file for the solid black bars, so I didn't notice that.
Here's a christmas wallpaper pack for anyone feeling festive They're already numbered 1 to 29 for use. Just copy your current wallpapers into a folder for backup before placing these in WCP folder.

Very nice. Installed a couple of hours ago and been enjoying my changing wallpaper since Gonna install the xmas pack too. Thanks show, and to all testers too.

I don't know what rom you're using, or if the autobasehue that you're talking about was added to your phone as an app, but when I was testing the WPC, I had different colors on my basehue , different .xml , different .dll files and a modified .cpr and the only thing that changes is the wallpapers, nothing else. Were you using a default background when you started it ?
Showaco: Great job on the xmas papers.

Just tried it looks great works fine so far.
P.S. I had a fun time finding the WPC folder lol but eventually found it.
Happy Festivas!

Thanks everyone for the feedback, glad to hear its working correctly. I'm adding a few new features, the main one being able to use wallpaper folders so its easy to switch to different wallpaper packs in just a few seconds. It also automatically sets the number of wallpaper when you switch to a new icon pack(although you can still manually set number). Here's a couple of screenshots showing new option and selection screen.
I'm also going to add a weather wallpaper pack that will update based on current weather/time of day. Its using FeatherWeather, but it can be also set up for NRG miniweather if someone wants to get with me and help me iron out the details for it.

New options

I like the theme a lot as well as the tweaks, but I had to turn smarttoolkit off because while it's awesome it sometimes freezes or doesn't respond. Great job on the theme though, it'd be nice if you could reach the com manager from the main screen and if it had a quick launch.

good idea, i can add another line to the bottom of the theme under missed calls, maybe it will say "ComManager" or something like that, but how do i just add a text link to it?
Using it now. Looks great. The only thing is that the time and date look out of place on the left, at least compared to the great look of the right side of the homescreen.
I've also had issues with smarttoolkit but I'll give this version a try.
Thanks.
i know, i couldnt get the time and date to place the way i wanted them to be because of the plugins on the right side of the theme, they interfere with the time and date
Carousel theme on HTC S620 (phone make over)
Hello Aldech, can i just ask, can this theme be used on the HTC Elf (wm6) sorry if this is a silly question
no, it can not, this is only a smartphone theme, it doesnt work on a touch screen win mobile, unless there is a way to implement it that i dont know of
Having problems with smarttoolkit again, can't read text messages. The list of text messages comes up but it won't open any of them. Also if i select messages on the desktop, battery information comes up.
how can i make it so smarttoolkit starts up when my phone starts up?

Yea, I used the version you uploaded. Its a really nice program but on my dash for some reason it would freeze and certain things wouldn't work sometimes. I'll try it again now that I'm using the HTC rom and the phone is generally running smoother. I hope you keep working on this theme, it's one of the best I've seen.

It So Beautiful
I got to keep it on my Dash, its so beautiful........!
Great homescreen. Thanks for putting the time into it. Using now.
FANTASTIC THEME!
I am really enjoying using it....
I do have one request/suggestion....
On the home screen, could you make the highlight of what "section" you are in more apparent?
i.e. The switch between Profile, Messaging, and Missed Calls.
If you can make it more apparent which one the cursor is on would be a HUGE improvement. The highlight doesn't seem to be much of a delta between the one you are on and the one you are not on.... The "Messaging" one doesn't even change when you are "on it"
Thanks
D.
i can but if i do, when you highlight for example profile or missed calls, if i make them bigger, they will be out of place, i will give it a shot when i get home and let you know, and for the messaging part, the work "messaging" is actually just a picture with the background its not really active.
IMO, you might want to look at removing "messaging" from the wallpaper and make it part of the home screen so it can be highlighted by either changing colors or making it bold. That would also open up changing wallpaper but keeping your layout.

So, for this link above, if you were looking for Calcutta, India. Go to this link, and you will see a line like this:
<location cnt="1" city="Calcutta" state="India(Bangla)" location="ASI|IN|IN036|CALCUTTA" />
So your location to enter in to options would be :
ASI|IN|IN036|CALCUTTA
This should work for cities worldwide.

There should be a way , since ppc's have animated weather icons using flash.
the currentcondition icon 3 is way too small on the default .cpr, can u make it bigger?

there's a couple issues here... When I dial out it displays some of the text from the weather app on the dial screen, like Current Conditions: Dialing: Mom.
Also, is it really necessary to display cloud coverage percentages with 5 decimal places of precision? Makes no sense... 0 decimals of precision is fine. in case you were wondering our current cloud cover is 93.59341% :/

Weird that you got that precise of a cloud cover number. I've never seen it display any decimals at all. Must be the accuweather feed for your area. I can add a round command just to make sure it doesn't happen anymore. The weather loop uses operater name text field, so it show
anywhere your network name would normally be.
I'll say sorry first because this is a noob question. I have a Axim x51v, will this program work on it. I installed as instructed but when I try to open feather weather options from start it say to launch the program first. Any help would be appreciated. The program looks sweet & I would like to use it. Thanks.

It requires windows mobile 6.1 standard to work with sliding panel homescreen. I'm not familiar with specs of x51v, but if its touchscreen, chances are it runs wm pro, not standard.

[THE]*UPDATE*[01-10-09] Black Magic by Zal (TF3D & S2U2 & 15-Tabs)

Ok this is my very first attempt at working with manila/themes! So like please don't shout at me if I get anything wrong (also it's my first ever post ) All advice/suggestions are welcome!
While this might look like the Sprint Theme from NisseDILLIGAF, it is not. It is, however, inspired by the Sprint theme. The only thing I did actually use is some of the neon icons but I created some new ones. Including a shiney red one for the stock tab. Also Calendar and Sound Settings icons for 15-Tabs version.
Everything else I made from scratch in Photoshop. I created a new tab-sliderbar similar to the Sprint one because the original did not work well on the HD. (as can be seen here)
My version:
{
"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"
}
(I'm particularly happy with the little funky light sparkles)
I found a way to use full-sized high quality images in the tf3d Home tab and also have a semi-transparent slider bar in all tabs. Which means you can see the HQ background through the slider in all tabs! (make sure you have default wallpaper set in tf3d settings.. i.e. no wallpaper)
I might do some more work on the clock because i'm not 100% happy with it yet. There are lots of other little mods you'll have to see for yourself
Got the battery fire effect from Godzon's Battery and modded it to work properly on Touch HD.
Oh and the flowery brush used for the wallpaper I got from here.
I made it into a cab for easy install/uninstall. (remember to soft-reset after installation)
*** NEW cab that includes 15 tabs and the 15 tab manila hack ***
*** Reserved ***
Cool theme, will be trying this out.
Yeah... excellent work, dude.
Amaizing work ! Looks great ! Going to use this..
I REALLY like that you have made it into a cab file.. every theme should be like this.. Perfect !!!
great work man, one of the best themes here.
Some suggestions for future updates :
1. Make a 15 tabs version. with complet icons set.
2. Add a new font to the mix.
3. Skin for throttlelock.
4. Custom wallpaper for weather tab.
Thanks for all the positive comments This is just the first of many more themes to come!

Some really good suggestions here. I'll definitely make a 15 tab version and I'll have to play around with fonts as I haven't tried that yet on the HD. I've created a few fonts in the past so hopefully I can come up with something original.
I Haven't actually tried out the throttlelock program yet as S2U2 works so well. But I'll give it a go today and hopefully make a skin for it!
Currently it's not possible to have a different wallpaper for individual tabs. However, I'm gonna work a bit on the graphics used on the weather tab.
Zal, Nice Theme!
Just wondering how you managed to create your custom icons in the phone?
Im trying to download a few png files that i want and cant find any info on how to just change these?

Hi gbds, the process is outlined here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Custom
Best to read the entire page, but basically you have to copy all the files ending in _manila from your phones windows folder (using explore in active sync) and then use Manila Editor to insert new png images into the manila files and copy them back to the phone Hope this helps.

great work man, one of the best themes here.
Some suggestions for future updates :
1. Make a 15 tabs version. with complete icons set.

I made a 15 tab version! I've updated the cab file. So just uninstall the old one and download/reinstall the new one and it should give you nice icons for all 15 tabs
Let me know if it looks ok to you, I tested it and it seems to work well.
Great job,thank you!!
do i need to uninstall my previous S2U2 before i install this?

Nope, you need to have S2U2 installed before you install this theme. Currently the cab just replaces the wallpaper in S2U2. (The clock shown in the S2U2 screenshots is just the standard small one found in the clock-pack which you can download on the S2U2 website.)
Oh and uninstalling the theme puts back the original S2U2 wallpaper
Do I have to install the 15 tab from the other thread 1st?
Or your cab files already include the 15 tab and the respective icons?

15 tab cab first. I only included the icons for 15 tabs and not the 15-tab-hack, in case people don't want to use 15 tabs.
you have just made me think though. Maybe I should have 2 cabs available for download. One with just the normal tabs and one that has the 15 icons and the hack included in it hmmmm.
Cool theme !
At first, I really wasn't convinced with the flowers brush next to the neon icons. Reason is you can't change the background to fit both neon & flowers styles
But then I found it quite unique.. I loved it
Keep up the good work
Very very nice!
I like the original Black&White theme but wanted a touch of color in it without replacing the whole thing. well, using neon colors for the current selected tab is just perfect!
The colored flowery background is subtle and very nice too, If we could have more different choice of pattern for that background it would be even better.
I might do some more work on the clock because i'm not 100% happy with it yet.

I agree on that point, the problem is that because of the transparency the flipping animation when the time change doesn't look so good, and we can't see "PM" or "AM". How does it look with the original clock?
I'm using the 15 tabs version but maybe you can provide a separate 11 tabs version.
Also it'd be nice to separate the customization for s2u2 from the TF3D cab.
Same if you do the Throttle Lock.
Is it technically possible to slightly animate things like the light sparkles, or the glowing of the neon?
Thanks again for your work, it truly awesome!!
I made a 15 tab version!

great news man, now you're cooking.
installed it, everything works, except for the s2u2 skin. i'm using the latest 1.4 vs and i'm still having the default skin. any suggestions ?
Uninstalling it doesn't work though?!
Solution: here.

[Theme]The Office (RC33) *BETA release*

Hey guys,
Here are some screenshots of the latest theme I have been working on. Feedback and suggestions/ideas are greatly appreciated.
***UPDATE 4/9/09***
Made a lot of fixes based on feedback received. Clock now matches the other icons/notifications, I personally like it a lot better! Application tray handle is now a thumbtack rather than the stapler in jello (stapler in jello is now delete handle). Added matching notification icons for most common stock apps (gmail, im, messaging, market, music, etc.) Cleaned up a weird looking button. Download link below!
***UPDATE 3/27/09***
Icon pack is available below. Included are all the application icons I made, as well as a blank icon background that you can paste your own icons into so they all match. Here is my process for doing that, though I'm not in any was saying that this is the only, or even the best, way to do it:
-Open both the icon you want and the "empty_sketchy" from the icon pack below in your favorite image editing program, GIMP or Photoshop, or whatever.
-You may need to resize the empty sketchy image, it works best if it is about twice as big as your icon you want to paste into it. There are two different sizes available in the zip file below, or it is a simple process to resize it to whatever size you need.
-Select and copy the icon you are working with, and then paste it into the empty_sketchy image. Center it, do any editing you need to do, etc. Then resize the entire thing to 48x48 and save it as a new file.
I'm still making a few changes and updates to the theme, and should release another update sometime this weekend.
***UPDATE 3/25/09***
Beta version now available, see link below. I still haven't quite finished everything I want to do with this theme, but I welcome ideas/suggestions/comments from anyone who wants to test it.
This theme is based on the US version of the TV show "The Office". It utilizes both things from the show, and typical office supplies.
Done:
custom boot screen
some notification icons
unlock screen
button backgrounds
clock
data network icons
phone signal, wifi, and battery icons
notification tray
all custom wallpapers
custom emoticons (from punkymoods.com)

remaining notification icons

Here is the theme as it is so far. I have tested this on both the lite and regular versions of JF 1.42 RC33, and it worked fine for me. Let me know if you have any problems, and I will try to help. Also, suggestions/comments/ideas are encouraged!

Good job, I like it.
I think this is a really cool theme idea. I am a big fan of the office. I think it looks really good. Can't wait to give it a shot!
Love the office. This is cool!

YEAH!!! I just started watching this about 2 months ago and now I am on season 4! This show kicks so much @$$! I can't wait to see this theme in action!
beta release now available, should work with both regular and lite RC33. download link in the first post!
I like the theme for the most part, I dont know what else you would put there but i dont really like the stapler in the jello as the apps tab thing. I really love the icons, can you post those for us to download to use with other themes as well?

I will post the icons tonight, as well as a blank icon background that you can paste other icons into so they all match.

wow that would be awesome, i downloaded this wallpaper and resized it for the G1 and your icon set will look awesome on it
not sure about a new app tab I will be thinking about it and let you know if i think of something
I love it i am downloading now the only thing i would change just from looking at the screens would be the clock i just doesnt seem to fit in
See the first post for a link to a zip file with all the icons from this theme and instructions on how to make matching icons for other applications.
@JediMasterASD: That corkboard wallpaper is awesome. Maybe I should include that as one of the wallpaper gallery choices in the theme.

I don't think I love the clock either. I'm thinking maybe just a square clock like the kind in every office and schoolroom in the world would be better...what do you think?
Thanks again for the icons, i have already made a few more and am loving it! this is my current homescreen
I would actually like to get a copy of your theme without a graphic at all for the apps tab if possible, obviously you dont have to go changing it just for me though but my homescreen would be perfect then. Also a clock that more resembled something you would see in an office would be good too.
also something you could do is for the app tab and the notification is use weapons, becuase we all know how much dwight loves to hide weapons around the office!!!
bump for the update - see first post for changes and for new download link!!!

Home Tab: Removed call history and no appointments. Voicemail and valid appointments still show. Moved appointment list higher so you can see maximum of 4 now. Moved date and alarm above time, and moved carrier name to center. Clock press now takes you to a 6 tab screen(call history, all people, web search, world clock, alarm, and profiles) instead of the standard world clock view.
Album Tab: Enlarged pictures/videos preview size for easier viewing
Music Tab: Enlarged album view and changed perspective
Internet Tab: Removed the logo/Launch Browser for better viewing since new search bar cut into screen area. Added "launch browser" link that launches whatever your default browser is.
Programs Tab: Changed to 3 icon view and changed All Programs to 4 icon view

messaging bug
I like your rom but I found the following bug: when you try to enter a recepients name in sms dialog box something messes up. I think that it tries to display contacts from outlook but it doesn't show up but messes up the vertical scrollbar and stuff.
Otherwise seems nice

no it not, at me there are 3 icons. And i downloaded that themes but nothing has changed, that impossible stuff is still there.
have been testing your ROM for a day or so & I have listed a few things below as a general feedback.
One of the issues i have is that when assigning images to the people tab, the images are not resized correctly. They are way too big!
I have to go back into the contact & edit the manually by re-selecting the photo a second time. It's not a big issue, just annoying one.
The letter selector on the contacts list is a little jumbled which means the letters are not shown cleanly.
With the tabs on the home screen i really like the text being used however the white shading used at the top half of the tab makes the text a little hard to read in certain light conditions.
Also are you considering releasing a LITE version without the rarely used apps like MS office, Java, MP3 Trimmer, games? Looking for more speed
Generally its a good first attempt as it appears quite stable & reasonbly quick.
well done. looking forward to more releases
cheers
Pete
