Just modify CHome_320x240.cpr ,set the font face of time.
I've modify one for Excalibur WM6.1,just download it unzip file to the windows folder,and reboot to take effect
i use the font name called Register
if you want to back to the original time font style ,just delete CHome_320x240.cpr and rename Register.ttf to 000,reboot ,then delete 000

Awesome, Beautiful, now that's adding class to the Excalibur! "LED Digital Time". Everybody will want this add on.........! Looks more like the scoreboard clock at Madison Square Garden, or it makes me fell like I'm at the stadium watching the game, awesome guy. How much time is left in the game...........?

Here's a variation, with a font that looks MORE like a digital clock
Download .cab below... or just the files in the zip. Cab is easier... just install.

Your digital clock looks very good on the Excalibur also, excellent work.......!

Can we throw a twist in this LCD look with...lets say a red or purple LCD time? (depending on the background pic....different color time would be nice)

That's What I'm Talking About

Can we change the color of the LCD from white to whatever color we want?

very cool

Just Gotta Say...
This rules. I really like the ease of adding this feature too!!

mine doesn't work. downloaded, install the cab, restart, and ntohing changes.

kavana thank you so much have only just installed Kavana 080408 and it's so sweet this tops it off, Bruv
Any chance of you making this with the forte font? Would look so sweet.
Have included font in case it helps.

I really liked the LED font, but I found that it really screwed up fonts elsewhere on the phone -- Opera, CHome Weather Settings...
Is there a way for the Clock Font Change and everything else to co-exist?

Yes. Try this: Transfer "Tahoma" font from your PC to your device. Place the font in the \Windows folder and rename it to "aatahoma". Reboot your phone. Afterwards, the default font that those programs detect should be Tahoma instead of the LED font.

I have to say that "Forte" font is one ugly mutha of a font !!

Windows Fonts Inquiry
I checked the Fonts folder under \Windows and did not see any. I would like to change the clock font to that of an LCD screen/alarm clock. I believe I have found where to change that in registry but I'm wondering if I can just drop some fonts from my PC onto the phone and just go.

what font are you trying to use? Are you editing your CHome_320x240.cpr and dropping your .ttf file on your windows directory

Take a read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=434858
You don't say what ROM your using the difference if your using Rose ROM the .cpr will be called HTCSlidingPanel or SlidingPanelMedia "if i remeber correctly lol" depending on the homescreen your using .cpr.
The more info you give the easier it is to help.

Manila 2.5.1920 Font Color change?

When using Wallpapers that are more on the bright side and BG4all, it becomes really difficult to read the text on some of the HTC Sense (Manila 2.5) tabs, especially the messaging one.
So I was wondering if it is possible to change the font color to black or something else.
Anyone know something about this?
Thanks,
Rag.

Same question here.
I found a thread where they talk about it but its not Manila 2.5.
So I would like to know which Files I have to edit in 2.5
Here is the Thread I mean:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2749452
Thank you for help

I use m9Editor, look for the mode9 files for the parts u want to change..
Manila mode9 u can search say for all entries called "text" this will so you things such as carrier name, in there you can add a property for the colour and change it to what you want.
Look for the m9editor thread, much better explanations in there than I can give
Found them;-
My example, if this is what you mean - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=570395
Edit Manila - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567515

Nobody knows how to do this? I am going crazy trying to figure this out. Thanks

It's in the colors.xml I think .
It may be in values folder.
Once you decompile the
framework.apk
Not at a computer or I could give you a better idea.
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App

[Q] XML File to change Text Color??

Does ANYONE know what XML file I would have to edit in the Facebook for android apk to make the text color of the app widget white?
-Meaning if you have the FB widget on your homescreen, usually the background is white and the text is black..ish. My background is now black and I want the text to be white instead of black...ish.
I can read the text, but it's quite annoying. And no, I do not want to go back to a white background if that was your solution = )
Thanks!

There are many xmls to look for. Check the values folder under color or drawable. Or it could be in layout under appwidget

Yep, well I looked in there, but I wasn't sure it was the right spot to change the color since I kept seeing #ff000000 instead of #000000 which after extensive googling, I found out the ff is the transparency and the rest is hex. Ok so that makes sense now.
So for ANYONE who may want to know this... first decompile the apk so you can edit the xml color in values\drawable.xml and then compile apk AND THEN edit your res\hdpi files. Otherwise it doesnt work. This was the case for me anyway. I could be 101% incorrect, but this is the way it worked for me

Creating icons from .psd file?

Hi, can somebody please advise me on how to make icons from a .psd file? I have CS6 and GIMP, (but no experience with either) and have been floundering around for the last hour or so trying to make even a single icon from the template, which is attached.
As a sidenote, I think it would be pretty cool (and useful) if somebody were to make a thread about this, as I am sure there are many people who would like to make their own icons, but don't have the know-how to do it.

Are you making a PNG icon? What I did was using a custom launcher (I use Apex in my case) so that you can change the icons on the homescreen using just transparent 96x96 PNG files.
To create PNG icons on CS6, CTRL+SHIFT+S to save as .PNG and transfer it to phone.

Yep, a .png icon. I'm already using a theme which has a number of themed icons, the problem is getting other nonthemed icons to look similar to the themed icons. For that, there is a .psd template included, but I don't know how to use it to create icons.

A piece of cake! Lemme explain it to you:
1. First of all, open the .PSD file you attached above.
2. Hide ("close the eye") of the layer that has the text on it (the one that says "Drag your image UN...")
3. Drag-drop the image you want to transform into icon onto the working .PSD canvas (not where the layers are as it'll open a new project)
4. Move the image generated UNDER the layer you hid on step number 2... Your icon will be created.
Then, you just have to save your image as a .PNG file by selecting this option in the drop-down menu after doing CTRL+Shift+S ("Save as a .PSD" is by default)
And that's all! Hope it's clear now!
PS: Additionally, you may change the base colour of each icon by unlocking the "Base for icon" layer and then applying a color overlay under the "Blending options" as well as hide/delete the background.

Thanks a ton, just a few questions.
1. After dragging and dropping the imageimage I want to change to an icon I have to "place" it, right?
2. After doing as told, what do I do if the image does not fit the base of the icon? For example, if it is too small?
3. After saving the file as a .png, the background still remains in the .png image. Is this normal?
Thanks again!

First off, if you speak Spanish (I think you do because of your name), you can ask me anything using that language. My mother tongue is Spanish, but I know some English as I studied English Teaching and Translation.
Concerning your questions, here you are the answers:
1. As I said before, you have to drag-drop the picture you want as an icon FROM a folder ON the canvas/working space (where how the icon will look like is). Then, you can modify it.
2. If the image is too short/large, you have to resize it. Simply, press Ctrl+T (assuming you're using Windows. If not, CommandKey+T), hold the shift button down (in order to mantain proportions) and drag the corners of the picture to resize it. When you're done, press Enter.
3. Which background? The one with the wood texture? If so, it is quite normal if you haven't hidden the background layer. As it is locked, you have to select the background layer, press the "padlock" on the layer section of PS and then you can hide it.
As I said before, feel free to PM me any question. If it sounds confusing in English (and if it happens you know Spanish), I can explain it to you (or make a screen cast if you have some time).
