Chome redesign

I've grown bored with the standard CHome layout already. So tonight I spent a couple of hours moving things around. My original "Chome Slim" mod was improved also. So here's what this is about...
* Clock panel rearranged
* Opacity turned down (less visible), for unselected panels.
* Smaller panel icons
* NO panel icon for the messaging (notifications) center
* Centered the MyApplications, CPhotoDial, MWelcomeCenter etc panels
* Centered and tweaked the music and picture panels
* Tweaked Settings panels for bigger icons.
Cleaned up the xml file a little bit and made it more consistant (that's the .cpr file in case you're wondering).
If you want to try this on, install the cab below. Keep in mind I only tested with the panels you see in the my screenshots, so if you're using the Windows Live panel, for example, it might not match the rest of the theme. Please feel free to tell me your ideas, and of course.. your opinions of what I've done so far.
Uploaded the background used, since I'm sure I'll be asked for it Just download the last thumbnail and ... use it!
p.s. Reversal .cab uploaded. Use it to revert back to the original slim chome version, in case you don't like this one!

Nice! Any way of emulating the i600 Samsung Carousel/Card Wheel? I believe it can be done by manipulating the cpr file.
thanks

Just upload another cab to restore original files.
I will test everything, but don't wont to hard reset every time .

I really doubt it.... Sorry.

looks good.... i'll try it later

Im digging the layout, nice work. I just wish SmartToolkit would dynamically change the right softkey with chome like the original wm toolbar. Otherwise looks great!

Thanks.
Updated first post with a reversal .cab, which you can install to revert back to the original "chome slim" layout. Thanks!

Nice job man, looking great

Is there a way getting the time bigger. i am lol

Haha why would you want that bigger?

Actually a slight bigger clock and just the clock to be red would be rad.
*for me*

Oh ok I can try to work on something tonight ok.

Sure there is.. but then... it probably wouldnt be as cool... haha
Try the one attached to this post and see how you like it... copy to your \windows

check your private message

Hmmm havent tried to change colors yet... but that SHOULD be doable. Lemme try it a little later.. and I'll let you know.

can i install the css with only this mod from post 1? or with any homescreen prior to installing the mod.
Cause i dont like the slim look

Sure. So you JUST want the rearranged Clock.. Date.. etc..Just the first panel ?

yes please

The right soft key can be changed through CHome. Edit the CClock's SK2TEXT (soft key) and SK2URL accordingly.
The clock's font size, position, can be changed too. But not too sure about the color. (Tried but was not successful). So are the other panels. The screen layout is controlled by the cpr file.
To revert to factory default simply delete the cpr file which is in the \Windows directory. Since the original cpr file is in ROM the deletion actually deletes whatever mod that has been made to the cpr file. The original cpr will them be used.
The icon file is in \Windows\bronzeres.dll. Can be opened using PE explorer (google for it).
I hope this little info helps those interested in doing their own modification.
Thanks.

Any idea how to keep an unedited bronzeres.dll around, but be able to call images from an adulterated remake, like "bronzeres2.dll"? I would love to be able to swap the colors of the panels back and forth, and made the dll to do it, but can't figure out how to point to another filename. In the cpl? somewhere else?

Need help with manila background image

Hi,
I have a O2 branded TouchFlo3D, so it is blue and white. The background image an all manila pages is fading from blue to white.
I have replaced all Luaq- and QTC-Files in my windows-directory with those from the original htc theme. That works fine, but i still got the old O2 background image. Which file do I have to replace???
Please help.

Sers,
maybe the luaq and qtc files are the animation behavor itself and the gles files are the picture informations?
Please report if it will work!
regards

You can try this !
Unzip this file and install CAB on your Diamond.
Enjoy official Manila theme !

Can u make screenshot for it.Maybe with Screenshot i can help a bit

Yeah, post a screeny so we can see...I'm using Dutty's Full, with an O2 manilla cab installed. I didn't get the .tsk or wallpaper in it, so not sure what you mean. On the pages after home, the screen is gradient, but with bars. If you don't mind, while helping can you tell me which file is the background images aside the home page?

Did you mean the wallpaper on Manila backgorund when you selected one from the setting page?
If that's the case you should see:
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\HomeBackgroundPath
Unless it's not what on your mind.

Hi!
I think, we talking about that picture, what's in the background on all of the other Manila pages. Black with gray rectangles.
Is that changeable manually like the home's one?
What file is it? Anyone can help me?

PS: Sorry for my poor english!

Hi, sushilange,
could u plz upload the o2 manila files so I could compare the files with the stock ones?
I really think it should be the gles files which effect the background....
best regards

Yes I mean the background image, which is on all manila pages.
I figured out, just replacing all QTC-Files doesn't work, so i had to replace all manila-files. I think you also need a LuaQ-File for displaying the background?

I have found it.

I also have a background image problem while using Manila black, it's a different though...
Since i applied the manila Black theme, i am no longer able to change the homescreen background. No matter what i try the "wallpaper" just does'nt appear.
Who can help me out?

I've backed up this key and HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\CachedBackgroundPath but when i restore these keys my home screen background remains black.. is there some other file where the background image is copied after you change the wallpaper for the home screen?

{question} TF3D Music Library background?

Does anyone know where to set the color / background of the white music library menu ?
I've managed to isolate most of the visual manila properties but cannot seem to locate the file that fills the background.
By now my hunch is that it's an inverted version of the default tab backgrounds.
I've searched for hours all over the place but i couldn't find an answer for this part of the background.
Can somebody help me out?
thanks

here you are
edit: sorry i didn't read the question correctly it is manila file 0d1412f9_manila
happy skinning!

That's what I thought at first as well.
But somehow if I replace the file with a grey one it doesn't change the background
I have attached the grey filled manila file i copied to my device.
I used the mode9editor which does a great job with the normal background 4 all tabs without any hex editing.
do you have an idea what is going wrong?

hmmm... I am am clueless..... sorry... maybe it is unetitable....

WHen I use the background for all tabs the '3d' grid part of the music library does disappear but the background stays white

maybe that is a preset..... yes it could be....
i think htc has coded it to have a white background and invert the tiles.....
that is the only way i can think of...

I have to confess.. I haven't checked the lua scripts yet.
But did dissect all mode9 files in search for this element..

I think i did it!!!!!!
ok replace this .png file with
0d1412f9_manila
it should work....
i can't believe it
lol i think if found it out
try it and then tell me results

I tried that one.. to make the side (where yours is black) grey and also the whole pic black..
I tried yours just now.. but doesn't work either
do you use the touchHD or the X1?
can you zip your manila file that worked to just be 100% sure I don't mess up while creating the manila file.

Touch HD
hmm.... i was sure that was it.... hmm.... i'll look some more....
now i am depressed :-(

don't be depressed
can I have your 0d1412f9_manila file to double check

I don't have the file as i am at work on a mac.
you will have to replace it in manila editor or Mode9 editor

If I selected one of the existing cabs what would it change after i install it? I'm JUST looking to change the PANEL only. But if someone could just edit the default rose panel and put a subtle black hint to it...and put it in a cab...yeah, that'd be tits.

Are these the files?
/windows/Focus_Panel_Landscape.png
/windows/FocusPanel_Action_Landscape.png
Well I looked em up using Resco and viewed em on the phone. Sure don't look like what's on the home screen...I'm going to copy them to the desktop and take a look later.

buttons

It might be a stupid question and if so dear administrators please remove this thread. I am wondering if anyone found the names of the buttons in the command bar (the bar below) in the new winmo roms such as 23053+.
This should be winmo graphics and no manila files and thus more easily to modify, I guess.

They actually can come under different names depending on which theme you select. The easiest one to look at is prefixed with ClassicBlue, thats the MS set

Here are some skins for these buttons
Maybe you can extract the files from the cab to make your skin...

Thank you for your quick response. Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough, since these weren't the icons I was looking for and the buttons in the command bar don't change when you switch themes.
I added a full screen shot and marked the buttons.
Thanks anyway.
