This is so cool! : ).
I can't wait to see it on my phone.
Can "we"? Yes, all the shadow glamour is powered by ( and probably funded 6.1) the funky new silverlight tech that powers Chome.
But do we want nice large photoes and album covers on our home screen? Do we want my fave loading with Flash-like slowness? Some yes, some, not so much...
There is a *load of possibilty in this .1 release, beyond what we've seen so far. SmartPhone Cube? Excalibur-exclusive UI functionality exploiting the unique hardware I assume is only days away, if everyone is as rapid-fire as you, Rick.
Replace * with your favorite word
I think, the people must have a choice, what to install and what is important - performance or effects. This is personal choice, and if there are many variants, technologies, etc, the people will be happy.
You see what happen when sliding panel come - everyone like it! .
The interface on the Juno... which is what you're seeing that in video... IS Chome. It's even the same CLSID on the home screen's .xml... the same GUID's... etc I'm thinking the .dll's are different to make it "special" for the TMobile Shadow (the HTC Juno).
I thought it was just a matter of formatting, like changing the .cpr file or something. I don't think it is so though... as I've searched the file system on a TMobile Shadow phone and couldnt find any .cpr files whatsoever...
All CHome interface in bronze.dll (i think so...)
yep.. true.
this cmhomeaddon plugin is only for portrait screen,and only for neo display style(another display style of chome)
Oh, sh....
Neo have weather plugin, and current CHome - no
Any recommendations for what to pick apart and repack bronze.dll with? ResHack isn't giving me anything too friendly.

use this PE Explorer
PE is much friendlier! Thanks for the tip!
When I replace the images, the file is nearly 4x larger. When I replace bronzeres on the phone it kills Chome-based screens. Is there something I have to do to force a file-size match, or sign it, or something?

unsign the dll first then once done resign
i think it would be real neat to have a shadow interface on the dash it would make the excaliburs unique and for people in the barbershop with the same phone as me can envy lol
It works, it works! And boy, does this quick test version look like crap--- but it works, so I think I will try again, but with feeling now. Woo hoo hoo...
So, how shall we get this working on the same phone with an existing bronzesres.dll? I notice that thehome.xml calls only 2 plugins, iconbar and "Bronze". Anyone know how to dupe Bronze, and have it call the new dll?
Off to Google I go...
Ok, it's closer, and much stronger than the first experiment. In fact, the black is too strong. Back to the 'shop to tweak it again...
UPDATE: Closer still... (#6 & #7)
Got it
Ok, here it is, a nice, dark, but not too dark Sliding Panel set. At this point, it will REPLACE your regular sliding panel's soft translucent white bubble look.
Although a simple script to unload any current Chome-based homescreen and swap the dll's is probably trivial for someone to write (hint, hint), it is not for me.
Directions:
Be running WM6.1, and have Sliding Panel (Chome) working.
Switch to any homescreen that does not use Sliding Panel.
Backup your existing bronzeres.dll
Overwrite with the BrightNight version.
Load a Sliding Panel style homescreen. For best results, use black text and a bright and light background, or a medium text and a dark background for a low output "night mode". Hence the name.
CAUTION: This .dll is experimental. Use at your own risk. Look both ways when crossing the street. Floss. For those of you who didnt follow directions, the original bronzeres.dll is available earlier in this thread. It is in use and cannot be overwritten while chome is running.
UPDATE: Added some bright wallpapers, since they are hard to find around here. © someone else. If you need directions on what to do with them, just skip this whole topic.
That's tight! Maybe we can "join efforts" and make the top of the rectangle darker also, like I did in a previous thread around here. Oh... what do I do with those backgrounds ?!
send me the pic. I was toying around with making a whole new image, if I ever get a day off, too.
CHECK OUT NEW WEATHER APP & THREAD! (This Thread Retired) ODSHOWeather.CAB (8-07-08)
**Note**Thnx to Rafer,NRG/Z28,Pudgedaddy, Luckybandit!!!
WE HAVE A NEW WEATHER APP!!!! IT IS BETTER AND MORE EFFICIENT
CHECK OUT THE NEW THREAD!!!
Updated: (7-08-2008) ODSHOWeather v1.0.2b (8:37 p.m.)
Please read all instructions before posting. Thanks.
Showaco, I are happy to bring you what will be one of the final installments of the weather panel. I have worked on testing this thing for a while. The new addition is the radar page to the forecast panel. This includes a new app that is included in the cab. It's called Weather Radar. It is located as your right soft key link. Just click it from your phone to set it up. This is a separate app that runs in our panel, but is not required to use the panel at all. I just included this, because it is frickin' sweet. Just input your location and it shows an updated radar image for your area that is updated by the NOAA every 6 minutes. Trust me, if you work outside for a living, this is a godsend.
Like I said, this weather radar app is not part of our weather update or any panels display properties or anything, it is simply a link to a separate (yet related) app. That's all.
With that being said. This radar page is pretty sweet. Follow the instructions below to make sure your clock weather, forecast panel, AND radar are setup properly, before you use this. Hope you enjoy, there are 4 wavs for you to check out as updated voice messages. There are 4 panel borders that you could display. You have an option for now forecast panel (lite version) and an option to display a forecast panel (full version).
Look at the 3rd url below, in it is a zip that you can use to replace your digits in your clock panel. The digits1 are the originals, the digits 2 are the HTC Diamond Font numbers. If you are curious as to what they look like, just search HTC Diamond. Luckybandit posted these, so thanks to him. In order to have these display, just rename either folder to digits and drop it in your \Program Files\Outerdepth\KPWeather folder. They will overwrite the ones you have, but don't worry, I have supplied you with both. They will not completely show up until the forecast panel update has run, so set your fupdate value to 1 in your reg, and then run the update. The location in your reg is HKLM Software\Outerdepth\KPWeather.
Lastly, we do have a banner, so you can also edit your banner's display text. It is located in the options menu as well. It will be displayed in the scrolling texts in your clock panel. ENJOY!!!!!
CHECK OUT SHOWACO'S POST #2!!!!!
Instructions:
1. Download cab from link below.
2. Copy cab to smartphone. Using explorer or Total Commander, click on the
cab. It will install. If you have downloaded the cab before, don't
worry about uninstalling it, it will do all the work itself. That's it. All installations are done.
3. Go to your weather options and set them up. Do all of the options, if you want or expect all of the features to work!!
4. Run Weather Update. It will write your forecast panel and radar. That's it.

Here's the original 320x240 sliding panel cpr file for anyone who needs it to remove cclock weather and fat panels.
Looks nice! I'll have to try it out soon.
Looks great
The thumbnails look great. I have a couple of questions:
1. Looks like you are using the fat panels. Is it possible to use just a fat panel for this, and slim panels for the rest of the panels?
2. Will you be posting a cab anytime soon that automates the installation?
Thanks.
Great job
Can't wait to load your app on my Excalibur and try it out but I am at work and need to wait until I get home since you do not have a cab file.
Looks great but !!!! Even though I have added quite a few things to my phone your installation instructions are beyond my knowledge.
Step #4? More explanation needed. Are these registry files. Are they exe files? Where do I copy them and how do I run them.
Also, one other thing that I would like you to include. When you include the new option of radar, can we choose our own radar. The local TV station has an great radar screen for mobile phones that I would like to use.
Thank for all your work,
Tim

1. In sliding panels, as of now, all panels must be same size, no exceptions. But if there is interest, it is possible to kinda create the illusion of different size panels using panel backgrounds.
2. We hope to have cab up in a few days.

To run the reg files, you need to use a reg editor, I use resco explorer which does a great job but there are others.
As for as radar, It is possible to use custom radar, but that isn't the way we were headed right now. But we will consider it.
thats sweet.....its goin on mine as soon as I get home
The one thing I might like to add it that if you have any issues after uninstalling NRG's Chome Weather , where it gives a whie screen with an error unable to find weather.exe it's because it's still stuck in your notifications queue. Run Sktools and locate your notifications and find the offending notification and check it, then remove it. This will stop that error.
I'm only mentioning this in this thread as to warn others about this possible issue just avoid any confusion that by installing outerdepth's weather app, it does not cause this error.
Locked out of Messaging
After following your directions I am unable to acces messaging on my Dash and there is no weather. Please give more detail on step 4 on how to actually "Run" and reg file. Is it an import?
You're going to have to tell me where to edit the scrolling marquee stuff. I dont see where to customize it.
Nevermind: I found it.... for anyone who wants to know, you have to edit the KPWeather.mscr file in notepad or other text editing software and locate the txt8 value about a little past half way down the page and edit it. then overwite other original .mscr
Update: Where would i go to edit the Condensed Text in the forecast panel. I want to read something else besides CWeatherODSP
Nevermind on update: I figured out how to change the condensed text in forecast panel too.... i'm such an idiot sometimes... was an easy find.

It would be nice to add that as an option in the weather options .mscr.... other folks may not be saavy enough to use a text editor. It would kinda of "idiot proof' that function
Awesome App
Congrats Outer & Showaco. It's a great app & it works flawlessly. Only suggestion I have is if it's possible to make this for normal panels (I use normal, not slim). I know it's very difficult to put that much of information on this size (and I must say the clock panel looks AWESOME) but my other panels look really fat with too large fonts.
Anyway it's just a suggestion. The app is really cool and I have to say thank you for all your hard work
Cheers
Hey Outerdepth, this is awesome. We're finally going away from CTestUIPlugin. However, after copying my weather script line for line, even down to the directory names and graphics used... I would at least appreciated a little statement that this is all possible because you're using my application But hey....

Will be done later tonight, thanks for the input. We will add a user text line that can be edited from options panel.
You may also want to edit the Title on the consensedtitle panel. It currently reads: CWeatherODSP .... which to me doesn't seem to descriptive. I personally changed it to read "7-Day Weather Extended Forecast". that seems a little more descriptive to me. Of course you can do whatever you want to it, but using the title i use or some other variation of what i use may be a little more descriptive.

Yeah! A Real Weather App
Great job guys and will be even better when you add the "Doppler Radar" with automatic updates. Please use the newly released "Doppler Radar" for smartphones and pocketPC devices, again guys, this is a super awesome job.................!
Hey
wanted to know if the WM6.5 allows you to use full res and quality wallpaper?
not like on the regular HD wallpaper that shows only 512X512...
tnx =]
WM 6.5 allows you to use full screen images and they are crystal clear.

It's not WinMo that's causing the problem with Touch HD background wallpapers, it's Touch Flo 3D.
So, if you would disable TF3D you could probably get nice quality with WinMo 6.1.
I have been digging around this issue and I do have a solution to get full resolution wallpapers with TF3D. Unfortunately, this process now requires a lot of messing around with Manila files, so it might not be for everyone. But I'm thinking about publishing my custom Manila wallpaper files, which basically require simply copy+paste into Windows directory and then restarting TF3D.

That would be great.
I hate how the quality is degraded once you set the Wallpaper.
There is so much difference in quality when viewing a picture in "albums" as opposed to the home screen wallpaper.
I wonder why TF3D lowers the resolution on the home screen.
Please publish a solution. thanks

I actually started a thread in General > Dev and Hacking about this very issue. It didn't get a lot of attention from people with Touch HD's, but none the less, I managed to get down to the bottom of the mysterious TF3D behavior and I can see that the info from that thread got to the people working on visual enhancements for Touch HD.
Basically, it's insanely stupid solution some lazy HTC programmer implemented.
Imagine that TF3D can display images that have maximum size of 512x512. Now imagine you have screen size that's 480x696 pixels (this is how big the wallpapers are). See the problem? The maximum image you can use is 184 pixels short to cover the whole screen.
And then you get a genius idea to use two 512x512 images to cover the screen area and allow full resolution wallpapers to be used. So you take the default HTC wallpaper, split it in two parts, align them perfectly on the screen so it looks as if they're one image - and problem solved!
Right?
Well, not quite. Yes, it will work for default background image, but what about custom wallpapers? Well, they were too lazy to make an automatized script that would split the images in two and align them on the screen.
Instead, they opt for a more convenient solution in form of taking custom wallpapers, shrinking them down into a single 512x512 box and then stretching this downsampled image back to 480x696 area.
And that's whats causing all these problems.
If you want a temporary solution, create 512x512 image - I bet it will look sharper then your 480x800 image.
A true solution is to cheat TF3D and import manually FOUR separate images that together form portrait and landscape wallpapers.
This can be done, and I will explain it in a separate post here when I get some free time. At the moment I'm too busy with FingerKeyboard
Wow, Rozenthal! That would be very interesting! It´s almost a dream I have: to see a quite sharp image on my TF3D Home screen.
A lot of people would be very glad with you if you teach us how to do this.
Thanks a lot in advance
It's not a dream I have it on my screen now...
The problem is in the fact that changing skins cannot be done through Settings tab. It requires editing the appropriate Manila files by using a Manila graphic editor on your PC. Also, this is something that will require at least moderate knowledge of some good graphic editing software (read: Photoshop), because you need to manually prepare split png files for portrait and landscape.
Then you take these files, load them into Manila files, compress them into a special TF3D graphic format, copy them to Windows directory overwriting the old files, turn off TF3D and then pick "Use default wallpaper" in your Settings / Wallpaper tab.
So, it's major pain in the a$$, and it's not something you would be doing on the road, or every day. But, as I said - it CAN be done.
The way I see it, we could probably get some users here to team up, learn the procedure and then simply offer zip-ed Manila files that other people can download and copy into Windows folder. That part is easy, it can be done by anyone. Preparing the wallpapers, however, isn't that simple.
Anyway, I will try to make a tutorial on how to do all this tomorrow.
In the mean time, you can check the thread I mentioned earlier. Altough, be warned that some of the final conclusion posts from that thread were lost during last sunday hack attack on XDA.
I am very seriously interested in designing skins or themes or whatever for my blackstone but there really is nowhere to start. There are no definitions for the things people talk about and it makes it super hard to break into this developers world.
But I guess I am looking for a few answers and tips about Themes.
What is the Top Curtain?
What is the Bottom Curtain?
Flip Background? Flip Digit?
Slider?
How to create Icons for the slider and the task bar at the top?
Details like pixels sizes, formats and ect.
Just anything about themes.
Is there a book about this? haha.
I will probably be yelled at for this post and referred to the search function but from what I have seen, there is nothing about this topic. Hmmm, Maybe this is something to add to the Wiki? These are probably the questions developers do not want to answer because this is all probably fudamental and kindegarten but I have to try.
Thanks to anyone who can post some links to guides or some tips and answers.
I feel retarded.
Don't feel retarded.
If someone is retarded it's the Microsoft and HTC programmers who figured that absolutely everyone will just love their default colors / icons / wallpapers, and so they didn't provide any support for making new skins and themes.
To cut the long story short - yes, it can be done, and yes it's kindda frustrating but if you're serious about it and you know how to work with graphics, I'm sure you'll be able to figure it all out.
First of all, you need a Manila editor. There are a few, I recommend CFC GUI and M9EDITOR, the first one being intended only for graphics, and the second one having the same but also additional things too. If you only want to skin the graphics, then you'll be ok just with CFC.
Then go to your device Windows folder and copy over to your PC any file that ends with _manila. There's like a few thousand of them, so it will take a while.
Run CFC GUI and point it to the folder where you copied all those _manila files. It will then show you a list of all the files that contain ANY graphic elements.
Browse it through and you'll soon recognize the familiar graphic items from your device. You will also notice there's a "Save as PNG" option - that will create a transparent PNG in the appropriate resolution, which you can then open up in Photoshop, edit, colorize or whatever you like.
When you're done, you save the PNG, go back to CFC, select "Replace with", load your newly edited PNG, press "CFC Compress" and voila!
The 12345_manila file you just edited has been updated!
Now you take the 12345_manila file, copy it back to Windows folder and restart TF3D.
You will see your new graphic has been integrated into the system.
First of all, Thanks a Ton!
Thousands of them eeeek. Does it take a long time to make a theme?
No problem... I've just started messing around with all of this, so I'm no pro skinner either.
Does it take long... Well, depends on your skills. And also on what kind of extent you want to cover with the skin.
The biggest problem is that most of the graphic files are a complete mess. There's no logical pattern, and they've managed to complicate things beyond reason - for example, some of the most common graphics you see on the screen are actually made out of two or more separate bitmaps, and it's up to you to figure out what is what, etc.
For example, when you click on the flip-clock on your Home screen it glows up in green - well that "green background" is made out of THREE images!
Also, some of the files are coded into Manila format, while others are just plain BMP or PNG or even GIF. Then there's a lot of stuff that's controlled through XML files...
So, when you start with all this, keep your ambitions modest - it's not something you can overcome in one day. But it can also be very rewarding
Took like 50mins to copy over. Wow. I opened it up in CFC and I can not believe anyone who has made a theme. I am trying to figure out a pattern with the file names. Sooo confusing but thanks a ton again for your help. Now I just need to find a graphics editor.

Very useful and informative.
(and a refreshing change from the "do a search" unfriendliness that often befalls these forums ).
I've seen some orange home screen for spv c550 or c600 mobile. It has two columns and it is very helpfull home screen solution.
Have you tried yet to install that kind of home screen layout.

just google L-Columns.v2.home.xml and i found that you need some orange.dll but i don't know where to put it.
This theme mentioned above has facade and fizz weather in one column.
also orange default theme in SPV smartphone models has nice solution but you cannot access with xml. When i open orange.home.xml there are only few lines. Some basic stuff as title, icon bar and organge plugin function in couple of lines.
If someone figures out how to successfully create columns in a CPR I will be ecstatic. I have tampered with the Columns="" and Rows="" parameters in the Titanium CPR so much, and still can't find a way to do it. For now, I dont actually think it is possible to have a two-column or two-row CPR Homescreen (at the moment). I do hope this gets some attention (and maybe a solution)!

I've found solution and it works.
As i said just download L-Columns.v2.home.xml and install JRulez_OHSP.cab because it saves orange.dll somewhere in the phone.
Now i have RJTime (analog) clock and date on the left side of my home screen and SMS/MMS/Mail on the right side.
I still dont get why every uploaded theme and every thread about home screen design in this Excalibur subforum is about C-home theme.
My personal opinion is that you can create most powerfull theme, most "business one" theme in classic way, creating good xml theme with couple of plugins and couple of programs as RightKey etc.
xmarkom - Can you please upload these files to this thread, or post direct links to them. i would be very interested in making a theme using this concept (and adding it to my CycloneSkins collection). I tried google, but I couldn't find anything relevant.
Thanks a bunch!
(By the Way the "CHome" layout is named because of the CHome panel which is the panel which tells you how many missed calls, SMS, MMS, and Voicemail you have. This panel is a significant part of the CHome layout in terms of efficiency. I believe that is why it is called the CHome layout, although in the 6.5 roms it is the Titanium Layout, and in 6.1 and below it is called Sliding Panels Layout)
any screnshots??

I believe that is why it is called the CHome layout, although in the 6.5 roms it is the Titanium Layout, and in 6.1 and below it is called Sliding Panels Layout)

ok but i'm seek of this titanium layout and sliding panels layout because everybody talk about that, and thats all the same thing.
xml traditional home layouts should be better.
Wouldn't agree and if i personally wanted a old home screen i'd stick with WM6 to which is cumbersom looks like a dinosaur and not as tweakable as 6.1 or 6.5.
Can you please upload the files that peeps asked for as a google search with that criteria will get them no where...
please post link, i would like to have this
