CHome Configurator for WM6.1: Version 1.1.0.5 FINAL (UPDATED - 2008/07/11)

If you are using a smartphone running on Windows Mobile 6.1, this small utility might be useful for you. It allows you to switch on/off and change the display order of the sliding panels on any CHome homescreens. It could also be used to customize all custom panels based on CWelcomeCenter and Settings plugin.
This is the final version which has all the features that I have planned to do since the beginning. Please try it out and report you find any bugs. Have fun.
PS: Thank rickwyatt for the dialer extracted from his ROM and everyone else who contributed the icons.
Download the ZIP version if you have trouble installing .CAB on your device.
If you are using Ricky ROM v24 with CHome Configurator preinstalled, unzip CHomeConfig_Ricky_ROM_v24.zip to \Windows folder of your device.

Works like a charm. Great Work!

Just downloaded and installed. Tried a few tweaks and works great. Its simple to edit the panels and also seems to work well with NRG's weather panel. Awesome app, man!

I Must Say:
This is really nice, I do have a reg editor, which is really all this is. But it has a great GUI, and unlike the OldSAPFavorites, it actually works like it's supposed to work.
I am really impressed by the author, and heck I might even try to improve on this. Although I don't really see how.
Props to the author, and to everyone who hasn't checked this out, it's definitely worth the time. It takes you to exactly what you want to edit. Updates it perfectly.
Rock on!!!

Aww man... This GREATLY eliminates the headache of having to do this through the registry! It's pretty much the same process--just a more user friendly interface!

Ops! Stupid me. Should try the apps first before commenting.
Anyway how about a module to modify the layout - changing the cpr file's fontsize, text placement and slide size. Make a visual presentation of changes being made.
Currently in order to see changes made to the cpr file, require changes in the settings>homescreen.
Thanks and thanks for such a useful apps.

And how do you propose he accomplish that ? You STILL have to reload the CHome plugin to see your changes. Besides, making a GUI editor for the CPR files could prove to a huge pain in the ass, probably not worth his time

Just responding to his comments. Too bad I'm not a coder. Well, if it can be done without hurting anyones's a$$,well and good. Otherwise....

Only suggestions I could think of for an improvements is perhaps getting rid of red for the disabled ones. Its a non-standard GUI practice. More commonly the disabled would be grey, or struck through, and an icon pair, like perhaps an eye & a circleslash (or similar) would denote the visiblity of the active ones. And maybe some way of not moving them to the bottom if they are enabled-invisible, but letting them stay in place.
Still, rather trifling things, and very nice app, that should be standadrd in any 6.1 ROM, as of now, IMHO, and should probably be in the settings Cpanel! Good stuff.

There is no software without bugs
There was a bug in version 0.9.0.0 which prevents Softkey2 URL to keep it value after the settings are saved. So I have updated the software to version 0.9.0.1. Please read the first post for more details.

It would be nice but it would be more like a software running on PC not on the phone because of its complexity and I don't think I'll have time for that for awhile

Belive me, grouping the panels by their visibility is more difficult to do than leaving them in place but I chose that way because it represents exactly what the user will get on the homescreen.
*Off topic*The version number starts at 0.9.x.x: because I haven't had enough time to implement every features I have planned for version 1.0.
Features still not implemented:
Changing page order on Customize window
Adding/Deleting page on Customize window

First of all, thank you for making such a great app. I installed it on my Vox and it works great. The only question I have is: How can I add the CLinks page? When I make it visible, it's not on the homescreen, because it's just not present in the reg. Is there an easy way of adding it?

so i was messin around with it because it diddnt seem you work i hid all the panles and now it wont load even a blank screen when i reset it it freezes at with the start menu bar showing and the windows wait symbol anyone got an idea or am i F'd

Can you still open it with Active Sync? Because if, you might wanna delete the sliding themes and then reboot. It'll probably show that it can't load a layout, but you can acces the startmenu again.

I tried that myself and it required a hard reset to fix the problem. I didn't expect the homescreen to crash like that when no panel is visible (typical Microsoft QA
To do a hardreset:
- Turn off the phone
- Remove the battery for a few seconds and put it back
- Hold both your soft keys for a couple seconds and then while still holding the 2 keys, press power on.
I'll make sure that there's must be at least one visible panel in the next release.

Top Bar Gone
When I install either this one or CHome Weather, the top bar with the status icon disappears. If I uninstall both, the top bar reappears. I have tried it several times, and I get the same results. Any ideas?

Does it just reload the homescreen? If it does, it want work with for people using the TestUIPlugin(like CHome Weather). If this panel is being used, then a reboot is needed to reload the homescreen. But I could be wrong, I was once before.

[Updated] Text Colour - All Programs Hightlighted Item

I have 2 problems...
[1]
I have managed to change the header/title background image for the Sound, Customize Tabs, All Programs & Music Library pages, but now I need to change the colour of the text shown on top of this background.
Does anybody know what registry setting or manila file I need to edit to change the colour of the text in the title bar for these pages?
I have been through every forum topic that remotely mentions text colour/color... but can't find anything relating to these pages. I've also looked through every registry entry on my phone, and can't find anything there either.
I want the colour of the title text on the Sound, Customize Tabs, All Programs & Music Library to be white... as it is on the Settings page (see images below).

I have managed to change the text colour for the title on the Communications page via a registry setting, but I can't seem to find the right manila file for the header/title image.
The Communications page looks identical to the Sound & Customize Tabs pages, yet they don't share the same background images or text colour settings... seems odd!
Does anybody know which manila file relates to this header?
Can anybody help? Thanks, in advance

Well... it's been 6 long days... and it appears nobody knows how to change the text colour on the pages I mentioned above
I've managed to solve problem number [2]... the header/title image for the Communications page is actually a simple PNG containing the header & background in one large image... and not in a manila file. Same goes for the highlight image for this page. Maybe this is because the Comm Manager can be accessed even if TF3D is turned off!
I've also partially managed to solve problem number [1]... the colour of the title text on the Sound, Ring Type, Ringtones, Customize Tabs, All Programs & Music Library pages is controlled by one of the mode9 files (one which initially generated an error in the m9editor, but it turns out I could still edit it).
Anyway... I'm still stuck on how to change the default black text that appears on the All Programs page for a highlighted program. The All Programs page is the only page that doesn't alter the colour of the text for a selected item... items stay in black text whether selected or not... so I need to know how to change that to white. I know which mode9 file relates to the Program Launcher... but there's no entry relating the the colour of the text when highlighted, so I imagine I will have to create an entry. I've tried a few variations, but none of them work... I'm basically taking stabs in the dark here, lol. Does anbody know where in the mode9 file (at what level) I need to insert the text colour reference for a highlighted item?
I've only had my HTC Touch HD since Christmas day... so almost a month... and I've mostly finished 'skinning' it... all thanks you guys. Everything I've achieved so far has been by reading through endless forums. I've not expected anyone to do anything for me... and I'm more than happy to put the work in... but I'm about pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to change 1 simple bit of text colour
Please, please, please.... can anyone even point me in the right direction

While I'm waiting... a few tips
I thought I might share a few things I've learnt & a few problems I've solved... just things that bugged me.
[1] No SMS sent message. I wanted it.
In the registry, go to: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings & set SMSNoSentMsg to 1 (or create a New String Value, if it's not there!)
[2] New SMS/MMS/Email sound. It played once & stopped. Easy to miss a new message. I wanted the sound to repeat.
In the registry, go to: HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications. Find the folder for Reminders {15F11F90-8A5F-454c-89FC-BA9B7AAB0CAD} (inside you'll find a key called "Default"... it's value "Reminders" tells you this is the folder for Reminders... you need to know this so you can locate the folders for SMS/MMS/Email. For now, copy the value of "Options" which should be "1073741845". Now go back to where all the other {folders} are, and find the ones for SMS/MMS/Email and change their "Options" value to "1073741845 (copy & paste). That's it... new SMS/MMS/Email sounds will be repeated!
NOTE: You may find that the sound will not stop playing, even after you've read the new SMS/MMS/Email. I haven't found a way to prevent this (yet!), as it appears WM6.1 doesn't give the command to stop playing these sounds... as it was designed to not have these sounds repeating in the first place. So in the meantime, pressing the END/HANGUP softkey seems to halt the sound immediately!
[3] Threaded SMS. I hate it. I don't want my SENT SMS to appear in my INBOX marked with "Me:". If I sent it... it should be in my SENT items and nowhere else! Plus... seeing one long conversation like "happy new year. you too. my father just died. fancy coming to a party" etc... when each message is months apart and not related to the same conversation... is just ridiculous. Why a choice of thread or not is not included in the options is beyond me!
In the registry, go to: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\OEM & set SMSInboxThreadingDisabled to 1. Threaded SMS is GONE!
[4] Reading an SMS... the page initially jumps to below the "Sent:" information... this is annoying. I usually like to be able to see the date/time the message was sent while I'm replying, and having to always scroll up a bit on every message gets annoying.
Find the file: c:\windows\read_sms.htm and move the anchor tag with an id of "Inbox:top" to just below the first div tag under the opening body tag. No more jumping!
[5] ActiveSync constantly running... me closing it... and it's running again within minutes.
Go through the ActiveSync set-up... tell it to sync MANUALLY, and when you're asked what to sync (contacts, addresses, etc), UNTICK THEM ALL. No more ActiveSync running all the time!
[6] Selecting "English United Kingdom" in my regional settings... still shows "favorites" instead of "favourites" in some of the People menus, and the date on the Home tab is in an American format.
There are 2 manila (XML) files (one US, one GB) for Home, People & People List. Whether you select English US or English UK... manila is using the US version of these files... I don't know why. Find the GB versions of these files (00a49dc2_manila, 4d8aad9e_manila, 5fbd18e6_manila) and rename them to the name of the US versions (1dea52e0_manila, 7fc62a3c_manila, 590ad244_manila). Then edit the page relating to the Home screen (590ad244_manila) and change the date format to "dddd, dd MMMM yyyy" which will give you "Friday, 23 January 2009" instead of the current "Jan 23, 2009".
I hope these help somebody else

You're right... my bad. I've changed my original entry to reflect the correct registry position.
For anybody else wanting to change the colours of the title text....
[1] Open the mode9 file "5c9aa261_manila", and find the colour reference for "TitleText" (which refers to the title in the main TouchFlo Tabs) & "TitleTextLowLayer" (which refers to the title in the Sound, Ring Type, Ringtones, Customize Tabs, All Programs & Music Library sub pages of TouchFlo). Change the colours to whatever you like, and "save as". Copy this edited manila file over to your device & replace the existing one.
[2] The colour of the title for the Communications page isn't controlled by the above manila file... you have to change a registry setting instead....
Go to HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager and find the key called "TexColorSetting". It contains a lot of hex colour codes... the first 6 digits being "50 50 50", which is the dark grey colour of the Communications title. Change that to whatever colour you want!

Did you manage to change the white background color from the music library tab?
I'm searching everywhere for it but cannot change it.
If i use the background for all tabs the '3d' grid disappears but the white background sticks ..

I hadn't even tried to do that, because I want my Music Library background to stay white.
However, I've just done a bit of experimenting on your behalf, and can confirm that you can have the same background in the Music Library as you have in all other tabs. (or a different background if you prefer!).
You need to edit the Mode9 file "5c9aa261_manila" (in m9editor), and find the section that relates to "BackgroundLevel0" & "BackgroundLevel1".
Copy the 2 properties found in "BackgroundLevel0" as shown in the pic below, and paste them into "BackgroundLevel1". You'll also need to DELETE the "Opacity" property from "BackgroundLevel1".
Basically... your file should look like the below image!

DUDE! you're my hero
thanks man!
it works perfectly
and now to find a way to put a custom background behind it instead of the sprint_bg one

The image called "Manila_sprint_bg" relates to file "4a087e41_manila".
Simply edit that file (using Manila Editor) and use whatever image you want!

I know
But I already did this for the background of all tabs.
So will replace the location for the level 1 to refer to a different image (or see if I can add a new manila file) as I want it to be different.

Thanks for the tweaks. Here below i explain a bit simply to users like me (i.e. "dummies)
Enter to above registry using some reg editor program like SKTools for example. If OEM is not preseent, create a key with this name. Then enter in the key folder and create a string named SMSInboxThreadingDisabled with value 1.

To change read_sms.htm use total commander, navigate to windows\read_sms.htm, use the edit function, then cut/paste below the first div tag (its little above cut item.

[TUTORIAL] How to get HIGH QUALITY wallpaper on your Touch HD!

Rozenthal's guide on how to get high-quality wallpaper image on your Touch HD.
There have been many topics dealing with this issue, and I figured it was time someone made a guide with correct and precise instructions.
To complete this guide you will need to have at least moderate knowledge of Photoshop or similar advanced graphic software. You will also need your PC and some additional software.
However, I can confirm that the results are "as advertised" - full quality wallpaper image, without any visible image degradation.
Please note that I take no responsibility if you mess up something. I suggest you make backup folder with Manila files that need to be edited, so you can always go back to default if something isn't working. Also note that this guide deals with Manila2 (the new Manila from latest Topaz / Rhodium ROM's). The old Manila1 may be using different file names.
If all this seems too complicated, a simple way to improve image quality on your Touch HD is to use 512x512 pixel PNG wallpaper! Do not use 480x800! Use 512x512 and you will see it will be sharper and much better looking. Not perfect, but still better!

my head hurts!!! do you have an example to download and try?
maybe you can use this:

and what if u select an 696x480 pixel pic as background? will it still be compressed that much ?

You can imagine how much MY head hurt when I was trying to figure out all this... It wasn't easy, seriously
Also, if you use 480x696 the image will still be downsampled to 512 in height, compressed and then stretched to 480x696.
You have to remember that image CAN NOT be larger then 512x512 for TF3D to use it.

I will not be a gold-fish here, so please don't request me to make your own custom wallpapers. I spend a lot of time trying to figure it all out, and now I'm sharing my knowledge with other people, so they can learn it too - and have it all much easier then myself
But, here's an example of my own custom wallpaper.
Manila files are inside ZIP. Backup your old Manila files before copying these ones into Windows folder!
Overwrite old files, restart TF3D and set the wallpaper to display default wallpaper image.

One more example...
They're both dark and simple, but I prefer them that way They work 100% and they don't cause problems reading the SMS / Email / Today text.

You are in the true, Rozenthal.. best backgrounds are Black. I always use black themes like the example posted. Great, great tutorial! It´s a bit hard for me (and english too) but i´ll try to follow your instructions. Thanks a lot!
Frank

I know it's not simple... I warned you
But, it might get a lot simpler soon, because author of CFC GUI (Chainfire) has been working on a solution that would automatically slice wallpaper bitmaps into appropriate Manila files.
That would mean you would not have to know anything about Photoshop, you would not have to create 4 separate PNG files or anything similar. It would all be done by CFC GUI "automagically" - as Chainfire likes to say it
But, until that happens, this is the only way

great write up
i actually spent a whole day figuring this out myself, then i find this awesomeness
a great contribution to our community
thanks

arrgh, can´t quote ´cause the tut is a big image.. clever
well, nice tut but it is not working for me. i´m on panoshas black pearl 2.2 and replacing the manila files (used yours) just screws up my background.
So i guess my t3d version must be different ("New Manila v 3.1 panosha with landscape ").

it would be cool if you post for the old manila too ..

Thank you! You made my life much better.

This simply means that in your ROM these files are named differently.
The needed files are inside your Windows folder, so to figure out which ones are they, you'd have to copy ALL Manila files to your PC and use CFC GUI to check them and see what are the new file names. You won't have a hard time finding them, since there's not many images that are 512x512 / 512x256 pixels big.
The rest of the process is same as described.
Same thing goes for old Manila. The only difference with old Manila is that I'm not sure there are dedicated images for Landscape mode. Most likely there are only images for portrait, but as I said - I'm not sure. Someone with old Manila would have to check this out.

I know it's not simple... I warned you
But, it might get a lot simpler soon, because author of CFC GUI (Chainfire) has been working on a solution that would automatically slice wallpaper bitmaps into appropriate Manila files.
That would mean you would not have to know anything about Photoshop, you would not have to create 4 separate PNG files or anything similar. It would all be done by CFC GUI "automagically" - as Chainfire likes to say it
But, until that happens, this is the only way

This is a much needed thread, thank you for starting it! I'm afraid it is a little to late for me though as I'm using Dutty's v2.6 xtreme rom with the new manila. It would be awesome if Chainfire makes his tool compatible with the new manila. I would definitely send a donation his way for the CFC GUI tool so I can finely "automagically" have a beautiful personal wallpaper!
Any idea when his new tool will be available?

Is it possible for those which have tried this and confirmed that it worked successfully to post their work up here too? So others that like the same background can enjoy them as wel.

after copying in my windows directory the files that rozenthal was so generous to share (after making a back-up) i can confirm that the gray tiles looks fine in my all tabs. i can not say that now i have a high resolution back ground because the image is gray and the tiles are very, very small. just kiddin'....the tiles are only a few pixels so it is easy to see that YES, i have a high resolution image in all my back grounds. i guess the same image without being killed, sliced and being revived should look awful.
there is a small bug: if u are looking closely you can notice that my lower band (Bottom Curtain) is transparent and the background image is not "stretching" to the that part of my screen. this is certanly not rozenthal's fault, this is because me tweaking the mannila. i don't think that covering that part of the screen should be a problem.
now go back and release the finger keyboard 2.1 rozenthal! enough playing!

I use your tuto, and all tab is OK, except for home tab, I have a white background !!!
I use dutty 2.6, and analog + flip clock from Max TF3D Theme Maker on home !

Hi there!
I was so happy while reading your Tutorial, because i allways searched for a solution for the blurry Backgrounds in TF3D. I tried all the steps but my result looks like the attached Screenshot. You will recognize a small grey line where the two parts of the background come together.
Is this a other Manilla part which overlays the Background? Because the files should be OK, i checked twice that no pixelline is missing.
Any Ideas?
(the pngs that i used for the manilla files are in the Zip-File)

Hello Borbosch,
the issue you describe is the last thing we have yet to figure out. Chainfire is working on solving this. If it makes you feel any better, I had the same issue on some of my wallpapers as well.
I assumed it was aligning issue, but yesterday night Chainfire said it was not problem in bitmap aligning but rather something else. I have a feeling it might have something to do with compression, but we'll know soon enough, and hopefully provide a solution.

[TUTORIAL] Changing Program's Icon

1. Windows Mobile 6.1 with Manila 2.1
because of restriction of WM6.1 we will not be able to change program's icon to high quality one, but what we can do change their appearance in Manila
look at the following picture showes modified icons in Manila's Program tab which can use as a start menu based on Rhodium style ROMs
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Each place in program's tab can have 96*96 Icon instead of windows normal icons (32*32). these icons extension are qtc and can be located inside windows directory by serching *.qtc files
Here is my favourite set of icon, including nearly 10,000 HQ icons
Code:

After finding your favourite icon now it must be converted to qtc, I do recommend CFC - THE Manila/TF3D Image Editor
From Tools menu choose Import from PNGs, press Yes and browse location of icon,
it will automatically converted to qtc format, once it's done it is better to change the name to MPI_*.qtc (instead of * put any name which you like)
Now with total commander or Resco explorer copy above file to windows directory.
With any Reg editor program go to following address:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE]\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
You will see numbers from 0 till 23 (24 place for icons start from left top till right bottom) choose the one you want to change it.
Put new path for the icon in IconPath like:
\windows\MPI_Programs.qtc
it's done now restart your manila and enjoy your new icon
2. Windows Mobile 6.5
If you are using WM 6.5 you can change program's icon directly from windows registry which will effect appearance of icon every where including Manila.
First of all you need to find high quality icon you can also use bluemetalaxe's thread it is full of beautiful icons and if you couldn't find what you are looking then make a request over there.
Now with Reg editor program go to following address:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE]\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start
you will see reg keys similar to shortcut's name in windows start menu
choose the one you want to change
inside the key modify or create String Value (Name = Icon) with value of icon's path
for example:
now do soft reset
enjoy new icon

I used normal .ico file for changing the icon in manilla program launcher.
You dont have to convert the icon!

can i get some help?

I need some help..
i search some square icon (in .ico format) to use in the program tab of the manilla. like the one for iphone or the one from htc (but both are to small to the program tab, i think we need some 1208x128 icons, not 64x64)
thanks for the help!

Here are my choices. I decided to make the start menu show categories instead of apps so i have used a registry editor to link each icon to a sub folder in my windows/start folder.
I have also attached the icons which you copy to ppc windows folder and link to them in icon path field.

Thanks to new manila and master chef Dutty now we can enjoy high quality Icons in our blackstone.

Manila Start Screen Registry Editing
Hi, I wanted to change the icons in my htc diamond 2 (tmobile compact v) manila program start screen and also to have folders that contain other icons (like games or organiser for eg).
By accessing the following keys (0-23) in regedit you can change values such as name, link, icon and write protect.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\
I did try and add a 25th shortcut, it showed but did not work, will investigate that later.
Also I realised that you can use png's for icons in the manila menu, no need to convert to ico or qtc. (Need to find the optimum png dimensions yet).
I appreciate that some programs may exist to do this from a gui, but this a quick fix and all you need is a ppc registry editor.

MrKaon styler_RO.cab froze Diamond 2 Startup..!!
Hi,
I installed MrKaon styler_RO.cab on my Diamond 2 (TMobile MDA Compact V - UK) and it froze the startup sequence and the phone stuck at the windows mobile boot screen.
I had to do a hard reset to resolve action.
Perhaps it conflicts with TMobile skin files.
Beware anyway just in case peeps..

is for touch HD..
working perfect on Touch HD.

I followed these steps, but the resulting files did not have the .qtc extension. I renamed them like you instructed, adding the .qtc at the end. But when I changed the registry value to point to one of my newly created qtc files, the Icon in the manila programs tab was an empty white square (after restarting manila of course). Did I neglect something in the conversion process? (The png's I used were 96x96)
EDIT: Never mind, I figured out the problem. Apparently, 96x96 pngs are the wrong size. As soon as I scaled one up to 128x128, it worked just fine.

hello!
id like to put new program icones for my PhoenixEx 1.2 manila 2.5, can u send me cab please? if u have slidebar icones too...ill be happy

Thanks for that tricks.
It's quick and efficient on WM 6.5, using any registery editor.
Still, changing the icon from the "software built-in" one to an external PNG files slows down the display of 'programs' tab very much. With 27 apps on my screen, it takes about 5 secs to pop-up. (i use HTC sense)
PNG files specs : size 90x90, between 4 and 14 kb each, located in a folder at the root of the internal memory.
Would a soft reset fix the problem ?
EDIT : Soft rest doesn't fix the problem. Takes up to 10 secs to display page with 26 progs.
Does the problem comes form the icons location, of size in kb ?
Is there any way to change the default built-in icon of every software ?
Good night all

Titanium FileChanger2 by Roloracer for 3VO WM6.5 2.50( update 9-6-09)New Feature!!

This is a remake of Showaco's file changer, remade to work with the titanium .dll's, .cpr's, and now .png's. For anyone that's new here and hasn't heard of the filechanger, Here's original thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413393 .
To use this, once you have placed it on your phone. Run the Titanium FileChanger2.mscr. It will ask which type of file you want to find and change, pick one and hit OK. Next, the File System Viewer will open and you will need to navigate to where you keep the file and choose it. Click OK, and it will ask you if you want to set the file change. Push Yes or No, and it will do the rest.
You can install these 2 files(in the zip below) anywhere on your phone as long as they stay within the same folder. They can be in main or storage, program files, my documents, wherever you want. Once placed, you could create a link to start menu. Your cpr and dll files can be place wherever you want also, and do not have to be in the same folders. They could be scattered as long as you know where to look. [Quoted from Showaco's Original]
Once you download my Titanium FileChanger2 .zip , extract the files, and drop the entire folder in your phone (preferably on your sd card), move the .ttf files(inside font and cpr folder) to the windows directory folder, and reboot to register the fonts. Once that's done, you can now use the T.FileChanger2 to mod your homescreen. I hope you guys like them
Now to my new feature!!
the latest thing is transparent softkeybar wallpapers, and as you can see, I've added the feature that will allow the use of multiple of papers, without the need of making one and having to drop it on the windows directory to overwrite the black_softkeybar.png.
Now like the .cpr's and .dla's, you'll be able to choose the .png's , you'll be able to make your papers, make your bottom bars, place them on the supplied folders, and use the T.FileChanger2 to navigate thru the device and select which bottom bar to use, let the app do it's thing , and after reboot, go and select the matching wallpaper and that's it.
I had to rework the mortscript 'cause it didn't want to activate the titanium refresh.exe for the .cpr's after the addition, so I've added a CHomeRefresh.exe that you need to place in the same place as the T. FileChanger2.
I made some wallpapers and matching transparent softkeytbars, for those who don't know how to make them, and also included two new .cpr's with fonts. You will need to use one of my .cpr's to get my clock icon to display on your clock panel.
Happy Customizing....Roloracer

PS: If there's any font someone want's me to make a .cpr for, pm me and let me know which font and I'll happily will do so.
Also for anyone that want's to revert back to the black softkeybar , to use regular wallpapers, I've added a .zip with the black_softkeybar.png here. Just add it to your bottom bar folder and select with Titanium FileChanger2.

Reserved for more panels!

Wowza

This is made with titanium panels , and titanium.cpr, NRGZ Energy WM6.5 uses the sliding panel homescreen, so because of the different size in the panels it wouldn't display properly , same with the custom font .cpr. Sorry

im having trouble getting this to work. i have 1.3 of the 3vo rom
i downloaded the attached file, copied to memory card, move font to correct directory, rebooted, installed cab, set .cpr file then set .dll and rebooted, no change in panel color but i have the new font
any thoughts?

the color on the bottom bar is part of the rom , the only way to change it, (to my knoledge) is with smarttoolkit rc09 , once you install it, you should just be able to use the base hue app on the phone to change the color of it. Smarttoolkit takes over the bottom task bar.

Why you guys changed the default bottom panel behavior? It is more flexible and customizable if you keep the original panel. why we need to use smarttoolkit rc09 to get standard behavior !!!. please atleast next release keep the original...

the smarttoolkit is just a windows vista like interface app that gives you the option to do that, and do skinning also. He probably just wants to be able to match the bottom bar color to the panel color. You don't have to use the smarttoolkit if you don't want.

I should work fine for the panels (.dll), but DO NOT USE IT for the .cpr

Kudos!!
I am using this along with pudgedaddy's Titanium panels, and awilaman's TitaniumWeather panel, and it works perfectly. Make sure to use only the .dll files, for if you use the .cpr's it will mess everything up. (Trust me, I know from experience ) I've got it set up just like I like it, quite transparent so that I can view the background on the home screen.
Again, thanks Roloracer. Keep up the great work.

Honestly , if you go on your pc to windows explorer/my computer/mobile device, and you open the device , you'll find the windows folder(aka- windows directory) it can be dropped in it, or in the folder named fonts, within the windows folder.
If you go in your phone to start menu/acessories/resco explorer and click on it, go down to windows and click on that, and now you're in the windows directory, either drop it in there or, you should see the fonts folder in there, and reboot. Let me know if you need any additional help.

thx roloracer for your help it worked,I put a new font on the phone and everything worked except, 2 problems though ,I tried my font and it worked ,tried your font didnt work, and also I cant use titanium configurator to customize my panel anymore, other than that very awesome to have that flexibility to change my font thx
