HErmes WM6 Themes

What software could i use to create my own themes for WM6?
thankyou
Massimo

I too would like to know if there's a good theme creator around...
I've tried this:
http://www.codeppc.com/telechargements/themegence/themegence.htm
but it's not very intuitive and I can't work it all out properly...still trying with it though
If anyone has any tips to get the best out of it for making a WM6 theme, please post
Smiffy.

Why did this thread die?
has anyone found some good theme creating software yet? if so can you share?
Thanks bennec83

I use ThemeMaker McDeb ( http://www.mcdeb.com/tmmcdeb/ ). It works with WM6, too. The only thing I'm not able to do, is to determine the taskbar color. It seems that WM6 is generating that color (or the glass effect) from one of the other colors.

I use ThemeGenCe
It has good features but lousy UI
But i recommend it

Definitely - if there's anyone who's got either some proprietary software or cleverly made their own and wants to share a link, deffo please do so - I abandoned trying yonks ago through lack of getting anywhere. The software I tried was either not suited to WM5 & 6 or had very poor UI.

wm6 themes
hiya,
I've had same problem trying to find easy to work
with software for making thmes. I finally gave up trying though and took
up mixing and matching existung themes from others.
Currently using Wisbar 2.7.x as the LCARS theme doen't like 2.8 or above
and Wisbar advanced desktop 1.2
while these are commercial packages, there tons of free themes tostart
you off on lakeridge sofware's website forum and I even found a few really keen
ones on a russian site 4PDA.RU
Google the following Wisbar to get the software
then google 4PDA.RU wisbar and look for the wisbar skins and thmes link to thier page
theres like at least 20+ skins and themes there and more on the lakeridge software forums
enjoy. note: normally I'd post links but I'm in my car at moment using
my hermes bluetooth internet sharing for the hsdpa speed it gives and
I'm posting this from my HTC Blue Angel hahaha yea bigger screen and is why I'm still
mad T-mobile wouldn't work me a deal on the Ameo

WVGA layout for Free42 available (beta version)

I lack a good RPN calculator on Blackstone, so I have done a WVGA layout for Free42 HP-42 simulator, available for Pocket PC (see http://free42.sourceforge.net/).
This is a beta version, but quite usable. Display is not exactly on scale, and display color need to be changed. Annunciator bitmaps are not present.
Maybe other member can ameliorate this layout.
Just unzip WVGA42.zip in Free42 directory, and select WVGA42 layout. Have fun !

Despite this seems to interest nobody , I post an updated version of WVGA layout for Free42.
Annunciator are present, diplay better colored and centered.
There is still room for amelioration, but this version deserve a "V1.0", not beta anymore.
Have fun ! (really !)

Looks good - will check it out

Been a long time since I've used a proper scientific calculator, but a very nice skin! Much more useful than the basic calculator in WM, now I just have to learn to use it

Even with an honours degree in mechanical engineering, I still don't understand reverse Polish notation nor why anybody would use an RPN calculator. I guess your audience for this work is very small which is why you had no responses...

as fast as I get my THD i will test it, it's just what I'm looking for.
many thanks

thanks! this was the high res skin i was looking for to use on an HTC Diamond 2. Works perfectly

Thank very much, good for HD2.

Another possible reason for lack of response is that it should have been posted in the Touch HD Themes and Apps forum which is where I've moved it

Possible i can skin it to dusk with the original grafics. I will take a look today, but there is no time before march.
I have todo so many work in my day job until then. But it is possible i will do it and publish them here and in my dusk thread...

I was hoping to find this some day..
Your WVGA v1 skin looks awesome! Thank you very much!

$me implements both skins within all Free42.zip's

Opinions please....?

Wisbar Advanced Desktop 2 or Touch FLow 3D???
Ive had my HD for a week now and barely scratched the surface of this fantastic piece of kit, Im still running the bog standard HTC TF3D theme/homescreen, the thing is, the more WAD2 stuff I see, the more I like. I've checked out www.lakeridgesoftware.com and www.swampthing.net and I think Im going to go with WAD2. Just wondering what the general opinion is...pros and cons?
Thanks guys, great forum btw !

pros : you can do just about anything you want with WAD
Cons : steep learning curve I've found

Ok mate, thanks. Presumably by steep learning curve, it depends how far you are willing or 'able'(!) to go into it? There seems to be alot of info floating around here and other net forums.
Any more opinions?

I'm using WAD2 as of right now and love all the capabilities of the software. I agree that it is a steep learning curve but for us WM users, isn't that one of the pluses for owning these awesome devices? WAD2 outperforms TF3D as far as usefulness functionality.
The only thing I miss about TF3D is the weather animation...which I believe will soon be incorporated somehow in WAD2!

TF3D looks pretty to start with but it always seems to take me 1 or 2 taps/slides more than I would like to do what I want.
WAD2 lets me configure my home screen exactly as I want. I have my most common contacts, playlists, application shortcuts and notifications all in one place.
If you use Davideuck's ROM he also includes wkTask which works great for me alongside WAD2. I use WAD2 desktop mainly for notifications, agenda display, contact shortcuts and a few useful but less frequent application shortcuts. I use the downward swipe feature of wkTask to call up a launcher with my 12 most common shortcuts (which can be called up from anywhere). I'm sure you can install wkTask separately but I would recommend Davideuck's ROM as it's very stable and seems to fly along with great battery life.
Cheers,
David

Thanks for the answers guys, think I'll go with WAD 2.

Is there a way to keep theTouch Flo interface and just make WAD2 like a softkey shortcut on the homescreen of TouchFlo? It would be cool if I could switch interfaces on the fly like that

Not sure about that, it sounds like a good idea, I just think some of the WAD themes are the dogs bollocks! Maybe one of these guys can help, you done a forum search?

Do a search for "Second Today". I've heard that this program will allow something like this to be done... not quite sure how it work as I haven't tried it myself yet.

TF3D Theme v.2

Hello!!!
Can someone do a TF3D theme like the new Diamond2 has? I saw that Duttys new rom 1.8 Extreme has the new look that is coming on the new Diamond2.
???????

Nobody ????
Take a look at the rom site, and go to Duttys rom and you can take a look of the theme.
I hope someone kind can do a theme like that.

What? I just don't know what you mean!
My TouchFlo on my HD looks like Dutty's one. It just has not as much functions. What do you mean with "theme"????

ask here.
he made the keyboard too......

dutty uses a new manila 3d build with landscape support. I didn't tried it yet as I own xperia and he hasn't yet released for my device but major hacks doesn't work anymore and, possibly, themes has to be modified to work on this new manila
But as It has been released form only 2 days I suggest you to sit down and wait or go to make a theme your own. Themes will come for sure

Somewhere here on xda is a thread for a theme generator that is linked to this site: http://ppcthemeonweb.benthon.com/ThemeOnWebEn.htm
At that site, you can generate themes to your heart's content. You just have to get some Christmas images of your choice and save the Jpegs on your computer to be used by the online theme generator.

yes
Thanks man, really!!
Will try it out as soon as I can

You just need to know your screen resolution when you select the initial theme. Prior to this, you need appropriate pix stored in a directory. Then you will set up the landscape and portrait lay outs. If I remember correctly, once you tell the website you want to create the theme, it will provide a link for the download of the theme it creates using your info.
The developer did a nice job and does not add watermarks or other info indicating his site was used to create your theme.
I did one or two themes just after I discovered the thread here and have the exterior website as a Favorite.
If you're going to publish your theme, I'd recommend going to http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page unless you're good at creating home made pix. Wiki Commons has pictures that are in the Public Domain that can be used without violating a copyright. Typically if you use a picture in the Common Domain, you might want to attribute where you found it and release using the same Public Domain license.
Using the Search box off to the left side of the screen will call up pictures.
Good luck!

I've tried it guick but it looks like it's not for blackstone? no WVGA res?
and in the preview with my pics, it looks like it's for devices without touch? I know it has nothing to do with touch or no touch, I just wants you to know wich phones I mean. Like blueberry devices.

It creates a very basic theme one probably more suited for non-touch/non-TouchFlo PDA or smartphone. It's capable of creating every smartphone's theme - you just need to know your phone's resolution. I don't have a Blackstone or knwo what WVGA is. I have built two basic QVGA themes for my Jade Clone because I looked up my resolution and worked with the online theme generator to build themes.
You have to become your own master if you want to have Christmas themes.

HTC Touch HD resolution is 480x800..
There were no such resolution to choose.
Tried HDWall but can't get it to work, will try even more
Thanks for your help man
