Hi,
i recently switched to wm6.5 (miri).
Now i want to use customized backrounds for my HD -> those from "Lost in Asia ROM".
As I want to use a different bg for landscape and portarit - I think I have to use a Theme do I?
So I tried to genarate one with ThemeGenCE.
MS Theme Gen doesnt support new WVGA themes...
But When I use my generated them it didn't set the pictures.. and it messes up the new "WM6.5 Lockscreen" completely.
I also tried to modify an existing theme (renaming to zip) and replace the pictures inside (skwater 001 and 002) and repack but it didn't work either... same as above.
Anyone knows how generate a working WM6.5 Theme?
I would also help just to know the REG-Key or where to place my bg files to set this up.
THX

bump the message...
Can't be that hard I tought? No one got this problem?
To be honest I'm not sure what you actualy want? When you say theme do you also mean different colour theme for Portrait and Landscape? not sure if this is possible?
However if you are refering to having different background of your choice for Portrait and Landscape then you can simply rename any .jpeg picture of your choice to stwater_480_800.jpg (Portrait) and stwater_800_480.jpg (Landscape) then simply copy them over to windows folder using resco file explorer or total commander! if you already know this then I'm sorry I could not help you on this occasion!
THX
no didn't know that it's that easy... I'll try.
I know its not possible to have different colorschemes for Port. & Land.
By theme, I meant the *.TSK Files which one could create for WM. They contain the Pictures for Port. & Land. + the colorscheme information.
As I described above I didn't get it managed to create such a file working on WM6.5 using a theme generator- worked on 6.1 - but messes up the new WM6.5 Lockscreen
So the question for a working WM6.5 theme generator is still open but not that important to me now.
Thank you, if that works, its all I want (for now) ;-)
It's there a way to change the start menu icons??
Have been searching for about 2 days and no luck for me...
Check this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=525341
I am also interested in changing the main menu icons.
But as far i can tell there is no great enthusiasm among
people in this forum to get this going...
Anyway, the guy that posted the thread knows how to do this...
I only changed the original icons to a background ones to make
them look better.
the thing is, is there a way to examined that .cab to know what to do or something?
I can make you a CAB for WM 6.5 Prof Style icons and one for Snap-alike icons!
Hey
Hey frauhottelmann
Could you create a cab or .dll(even better) containing icons for
bunch of default and not default programs (fring, twitter etc...)
So when we use it if we have the program it will change the icon
if not... nothing will happen....
And if we like to be able to change the icons in the .dll
That would be awesome!!!
We could call the people to create a list of programs we use...
And we could create icon collections or something...
That would be great...
btw could you teach me how to do it my self?
i'm insterested as well in learning how to create and change the icons on the start menu.
please teach us...
[UPDATED 07/11/09] WM 6.5 & TF3D System Fonts (Works with 6.5.1 ROMS! CABs within!)
Hi Guys,
I installed a couple of system fonts posted in various places and discovered that they didn't play too well with 6.5. I did a bit of digging and discovered that the .ttf files in the Windows directory differ in 6.5 so I set about making a CAB specifically for us WM 6.5 users
I'll pop a couple of CAB files up as I do them, but there's one attached to this post along with some screenshots. The one I've chosen to start with is Eras, not a huge amount different from the standard font, but it's nice and legible but different enough to be noticeable.
There are three levels of boldness used in WinMob and TF3D, a light, medium and bold. with Eras, the most bold version was too thick and caused the calendar in TF3D to not display the dates correctly, so I've only used a light and medium version in the CAB.
If you have any problems, the CAB is uninstallable. You might want to disable TF3D when you install the CAB, but I didn't bother and it installed fine. I look at it this way; even with TF3D disabled, there are still fonts in use by the system! When changing fonts (from one CAB to another), I use a bit of a shortcut too; I uninstall the CAB, press cancel when the system asks for a soft reset and then install the next font CAB. Only then do I soft reset. Works ok for me!
I'll get on and do a couple more over the next few days. If anyone has any requests, post them here and attach the .ttf files that you want converted. Ideally, there needs to be at least two versions of the font, a light and a medium. If you're not bothered by having a more bold font in certain places, then one will do.
I'll update the 2nd post of the thread with links to newer posts containing CAB files as the thread grows (if it grows)
This is where I'll add links for new CABs

Just a quickie to re-iterate that these fonts are for Windows Mobile 6.5 only. They won't work properly on 6.1 as the font names in the Windows system directory are different. This is why, I'm told, I'm the only person making fonts for WM6.5 that actually change all parts of the system.
In addition, do not install another font before removing the previous one. It is ok not to restart the phone until after the replacement has been installed, but you must remove the old font before you install a new one.
If you look at my screenshots and wonder about where all the TF3D mods come from (apart from the fonts of course, they're right here in this thread), check out the links in my signature.
Thanks, enjoy.
PS. I have included a CAB here which will reset the fonts to standard if anyone gets into trouble. If you follow the general advice above, nothing bad should happen though
Thanks, will try and give feedback.
One question: which program you use to enable WP in all tabs?
Nice
Thank You
Works...
Works(and looks) nice on NRGZ's ROM.

MaxTTM, the only TF3D modification system worth using
OK, second CAB of the day: Century Gothic. Again, not too dissimilar to the original font, but I think quite nice. Also, slightly larger on the screen than the Eras font that I posted earlier. Good for those visually challenged people like myself...
where did u get those tab icons? thanks

All TF3D mods can be done through MaxTTM. Go see Maxycy!
EnviroD system font attached to this post. This is a nice, futuristic-looking font, only problem is with the TF3D calendar; the number digits in this font are slightly too wide and so some of the numbers are truncated (see screenshot). If you can live with this, it's a good-looking font. I did try using a less bold version of the font for the calendar, but it had no effect, still truncated. Personally, it doesn't bother me too much as I love the look of this font on screen.
Edit: It was really annoying me, this font not working right so I did a bit of digging with Font Creator and scaled the numerals so that the calendar tab now displays correctly. I also used the three versions of the font (2 of which I created from the original), light, regular and bold.
OK, second cab of the day, the old favourite, Comic Sans.
This font has the same problem as EmviroD, in which the numbers are a little too wide for the calendar and so are truncated. However, it's a very readable font and I can live with the calendar.

Fine by me, my friend. It's not my font, just my CAB

Except the weather temperature is broken
Another day, another font
This time, we have Jott, which I think works quite well as a semi-handwritten system font. All the screens seem to work ok, calendar, weather, etc. Hope you like it! I do!
If you'd like to know how I got a full-screen wallpaper in TF3D, see Maxycy's thread here. All the manila mods you can shake a stick at and more.

Not sure, but if you post a screenshot of the picture perhaps others may have a standalone version of the picture.
You can either use WinCE Cab manager to extract the .tsk, or check in your windows folder for something like stwater.jpg or stwater_640_480.jpg.
Thank you I found a stand alone version of teh picture
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.

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;-
