Have a look at the attached ZIP file; it's got loads of .lnk files (shortcuts) to all/most of the Control Panel type applets. There's a memory one in there that should do the trick.
Mark.
Cheers
Worked a treat
maybe dumb question but...
Where do I have to put the icons in order to use one of them?
Do I have to create registry in order to get a Screen icon on the try??

I was gonna ask the same thing. What folder do the .lnk files go in to have the shortcut show in the tray?
EDIT: Found this app that does the trick called "PHM Traylaunch".
I just put the control panel folder in program files went into battery status>tray launch then navigated to the programs>control panel and chose the shortcut i wanted and then tapped add.
hope it helps
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.
Thank you Gmgonzal
Thank you for bringing a little colour to an otherwise drab today screen.
And ofcourse thanks to Schapp's for sharing his great work.
Man, that's what I love about this Forum.

Wow, that was embarrassing! The corrected bkup file is in the first post. I also put the original non-transparent background in it in case someone wants it. I made a matrix-style green one for you, as thanks for pointing it out.
Thanks for your understanding!

Thanks for the positive comments, it's a simple edit on png files. I'm glad you all liked it!
These look really god, thank you, but problem is I cannot use them.
The files on my PPC are Read-Only and ROM flagged so I cannot overwrite them due to the ROM setting. Does anyone have any suggetions?
My PPC is flashed with WM6 with built in HTC.

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.

Just go into your region settings and change it to the 24 hour format. It will change the plugin format as well.

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.

Provide the info you found please always helpful for others reading post
I sure can. actually it's pretty simple. Go to application data/home folder (example-whatever.home) file you want to tweak. email or what ever method you choose to get the file to your PC (I emailed it from my phone to myself). Open on PC and tweak using Notepad. Save your new version under a different name or same name and Autosync back to phone and put back in same folder and away you go with your new personalized homescreen. Let me know if this works for you as well. I will mess with it tonite and post before and after pics when done.

In new manila in the Communications tab ----> 'Wi-Fi', it gives you the available networks.
Do you happen to know the file that gives you the highlight icon when you press the network you want to connect to?
(I altered some manila files to change the theme and now when I press at the desired network it highlite part or the name
Thanks in advance

Sorry, i dont know the filename for that. But to me it looks more like a problem with the sizes of the images you replaced. Did you keep the exact heights and widths of the graphics?

How to change weather update intervals?

I have another question regarding weather update intervals, this time.
Does anyone knows which manila files to edit, so we can change the update intervals when we have selected 'Download weather automatically' in weather tab (e.g. make it update every 4 hours)?
Hello everyone, i look for wvga honeycomb cab for my hd, i saw somewhere in the forum a cab who replace hexagon in 6.5 start menu like in the old build, but it only work in qvga devices. So i'm a jalous of that, what about a wvga version ? is there also a cab for us or what ? Thank
sorry if this thread already exist, but i search and i find nothing... i would like to know if it possible to make a cab to
i believe this is what u need
Unfortunately this only gives you the honeycomb shaped selector (instead of the glowing ball); it does not give you the nice honeycomb background.
Not so busy on the honeycomb actually but jsut think that if they want to remove it they should then line up the icons in rows rather than staggered for no reason...or give back the background so you can see the structure

i confirm it's not the entire honeycomb, just the shaped selector, but thank for your quick anwser, i hope a wvga cab will soon release.
Do you want the honeycomb background with 3 or 4 columns?
3 columns can have large or small icons. 4 columns has to be small icons. I have a few files you can try.
Cool, 3 columns with large icons would be wicked for me!! Glad to 'beta' test!

I was looking for the honeycomb menu too and found only the one where's teh highlight.
Would be really nice if somebody would post a cab
Sorry I didnt get back last night but attached is the files. Ive tried to get the icons as central as possible.
Change the file extension of the startmenu_gridscene file to .cpr.
Use Total Commander to move the 3 files to the windows directory and soft reset. You should have 3 columns with large icons. Try a fairly light wallpaper and youll see the effects better.
Let me know how you get on. Ill see if I can make a CAB if people are happy.
Thanks, will be glad to try, but the zip shows up either as empty when I try to extract or corrupt if I try to view it...

thanks for the files... but it seems that the archive is broken or something....cant open it...it says its corrupt
You cant open the file with winzip or any other zip prog. Its not a zip file. I changed the file extension so I could upload it for you . Thats why I advised you to change it. Put simply -
Download the file, save it where you know it is (DONT TRY AND OPEN IT)
Navigate to the file, right click and click on rename. Change ONLY the zip to cpr and press enter.
Then put all three files (without changing the sizes) into the windows directory and soft reset. Thats it.
AHhhh...thought the file to rename was IN the zip. Trying again!

Ok, this is perfect, many thanks. Nice big icons (why have smaller when you don't get more, can see if you choose 4 columns however) and the layout now makes *sense* -- silly to have it staggered with no structure to tell you why. Slightest hint of lag on the first use after a reset but really not noticible, and then doesn't happen again...works perfect. Thanks again...
sorry for being stupid... but I dont have these 3 files...I only have the renamed one and nothing happens when I copy it to windows folder...?
The two images "thumbnails" are the other two files! Took me a minute too cause they said thumbnails instead of attached image...

At the moment I have only altered the config file for portrait but if I have time I will look at the landscape config file. I might have a look to see if its possible to get 4 columns with large icons in landscape.
