Change the size of icons on a panel created with Titanium Configurator. I have created a contact dialer panel and have chosen the pictures for each. However, the are scrunched. These images were sized and cut by me for use on my phone and they work fine for the normal contact picture (poutlook). So where are these panels? Are they in the .cpr file? Or is there no way to change the size of the icons without actually editing some .dll file?
You should be able to find it in the CPR file in /Windows. Change the values there...DONT FORGET TO MAKE A BACKUP JUST IN CASE!!!
I just checked and couldn't find the one I'm looking for in the cpr file. It's just a panel I created call My Contacts. Currently the png file I use is called Favorite.png since none of the contact pictures look right.

if you want the icons to not be scrunched...you need to take them into photoshop...or gimp...or some type of image editing program and change the canvas size of the transparent canvas behind the image to 86x113...then they should display properly....additionally the panel order is stored in the xml.home, and the panel specs are in the cpr...the only .dll that you might need to edit is the bronzeres if you want to change the icons on the panels that you did not create...same deal though...86x113, but you must use resource tuner, pe explorer, res hacker...or some similar program...hope that helps

Guys/Gals,
Newbie here. I'm trying to modify the sliding panel media homescreen.xml file. My question is more for the general xml programming. Is there a way to include a "plugin clsid" within a "plugin clsid"?
See the attached xml file. There's "CCustomPlugin" section where you can create your own panel. I'm using Good mobile messaging and i want to be able to add the Good mobile email and unread email plugin.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Actually, to add a new panel, you need to add a new dir(name of you choice) in your reg under chome. Under the new dir, copy all of the info from CWelcomeCenter panel into it. Then you can modify all the values(text,picture,url) to what ever you want. No need to change xml except since you have a list of plugins in there(cclock,chome,etc), you need to add it to the list. Once you created the dir, with copied info in it, you could use chome configurator to modify the values(easier).

Thanks Showaco. Does the method you described allow me to add a plugin as well? What i want to do is this. I want to add a panel with a program (exe file). This program also comes with a plugin clsid that shows my online status. So the end product would be an icon, the program name, and my online status. I think the method your prescribed only would allow me to add the program and the description of the program. But not the plugin clsid...
Showaco didn't understand what you're trying to do. Let me explain...
In the homescreen xml file you can ONLY have two plugins (in the sliding panels configuration). One being CHome and another being the 20 pixels at the top. The top plugin can be anything... 99% of the time it's the iconbar, of course. People like rinku have made different plugins that show different information up there, but.. you lose the iconbar. So, to wrape it up, you can replace the icon bar GUID in the XML with your plugin's GUID(and settings) and have it show up at the top. BUT, you lose the icon bar.. and that's a NO NO if you ask me
I gotcha now, I didn't know realtime data involved. The only way I know is to use testuiplugin panel, but it would only work if the info that you want to display is written somewhere in the registry. Does the email program write info to the reg already?
I understand. So you can't have another plugin within CHOME..that sucks and makes what I want to do harder.
What I'm using is Good Mobile Messaging. I assume this program already writes to the registy? It would be perfect if I can just replace the CCalendar with GoodCalendar and CMessaging with GoodEmail.
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.
*This one, really really really, didn't need to be moved. One could have posted a link to the Clock thread. I would have appreciated that. There is, however, another question here related to fonts in general on the phone. I searched, couldn't find. However, if you know a thread, by all means move this one there.
For the second time, don't be so quick to just move the thread.

You shouldn't have to change anything in your registry, regarding your clock font. Just drag and drop a font file (.ttf) from your PC to the \Windows folder itself. Don't worry about placing anything in the "Fonts" folder. You'll need to edit the .cpr (also located in the \Windows folder) and replace the current clock font with the name of the LCD font.
EDIT: Make sure you rename the font to have "zz" at the beginning (ex. Tahoma = zztahoma.ttf). That way, your clock font won't be used to everything else in your phone. If you don't do this, you'll notice your Internet Explorer and Opera Mini browser (if you have it) will use the same font as your clock.

Thanks for clarifying that. I haven't changed the home screen that defaults when one installs Kavana's ROM. I've modified it and added panels with CHome Configurator though. Would you happen to know the name of the .cpr file I'd need to edit?
Edit: DERP! That'd be the CHome_320x240.cpr file wouldn't it?

I guess that is dash/excalibur specific, because I installed the zarmalite.ttf on my blackjack, and it took over operamini and some(but not all) of my mortscript options pages. Since it started with "z", I thought it would be alright, but I ended up having to remove the font completely. Also, my clock font never changed at all, even after editing the cpr with the new font.

Same thing happens to me, after a lot of tries, I gave up on the idea of changing the font.

Really??? That's strange. I'd think that this would work for any Windows Mobile device. Try this... Transfer over Tahoma (or another font similar to Segoe) to your device just like you did ArmaliteRifle. Rename it "aatahoma.ttf" so that Opera Mini and PIE will pick it up. Let me know how it goes, showaco.
EDIT: Also, it is IMPERATIVE that you name everything correctly. Double-click the ArmaliteRifle font file on your PC. Whatever name is listed needs to be what you place in the .cpr file. Place that particular name in the Font Family section of the clock area. It sounds like this might be why your phone picked up the font, but not your clock.
hi there i searched the forum for about a day and realy can't find my answer
can any one plz tell me how can i change the tf3d (touch hd version!) highligt color? (with out changing the original theme indid !)
tanx alot
and for changin the wallpaper in all tabs. can any one make an app to do this in one simple step? or we have to do all that things one by one every time we want to chang the wallpapers?!
tanx in advance

There is no 'easy' answer to that question.
For some highlight elements of Windows Mobile (like the phone dialer or call history, and other system screens) the highlight colour is determined by .tsk files... and registry entries.
Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color and change the values to whatever colour you want. This effects Windows Mobile system colours (including highlights).
You might also need to look at HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today and change the colour values for whatever task file you selected to use. (HTC Black.tsk, for example).
The green highlight you see in TF3D is controlled by numerous _manila files.
The clock highlight on the Home Page, for example, is made up of 3 _manila files (1 left edge, 1 right edge, 1 middle tiled image). Another 3 _manila files are used for the call history and calendar highlight. Another 3 _manila files control the higlight on other tabs like Settings, or All Program etc.
The keyboard menu highlight, and the Communication Page highlight are all controlled by simple .png images (as these are accessed outside of TF3D.)
So to change the colour of ALL of the highlights on your phone... you have to change many things. Or install a complete theme made by somebody else (and hope they changed ALL of the images... which isn't always the case).

If you search the forum, you'll probably find 1 or 2 programs that will let you change the wallpaper with a few clicks... but that function is usually built into a program that does many other things too... and you did say that you didn't really want the theme of your phone changed!
However... editing the _manila file isn't that complicated anyway.... you create your image, import it into the manila file, copy that file to your phone... done!
Using a program (as you asked)... you would create your image, copy it to your phone, launch an app on your phone, click change picture, select your image... done.
Those 2 scenarios aren't that different or really any quicker! The only real advantage to using a program... is that you could change the background image while away from your computer. However if you want to keep 20 different wallpapers on your phone that you can select between... simply import those 20 images into 20 of the same _manila file and store them on your phone like "sports_car_4a087e41_manila" & "hot_babe_4a087e41_manila"... then when you want to change your wallpaper to one of them... simply rename whichever file to "4a087e41_manila" and copy it your your Windows directory... done!

Hello,
I can get regular fonts into zooper, however these other fonts i have downloaded i can't get to work because the keys aren't assigned like regular ttf fonts it seems. It comes with like css files and a bunch of other files where i think the icons in the font are assigned to different things, but i have no idea if this is even possible to get into zooper. The pictures i included are what is included with the font.

You need to open the index.html file to check which character is assigned to which key. If its a-z keys you just use those letters in zooper to display corresponding character. If there are codes instead (like &#e001; etc) you could make an iconset to display your characters OR if you have the font svg files (in your screenshot) you can upload them to an iconfont generator site like Icomoon and assign your own keys, at least that's how I do it.

Thanks man, i went to icomoon like you said and got to work.
I'm new to zooper and have been customising a home screen for a couple of days. One thing I wanted to do was to display a different image for each weather condition (yahoo weather).
I figured out that I can do this by having multiple bitmaps overlaid on each other, one for each weather condition, with the alpha value set to 0 if the relevant weather condition isn't detected.
With not knowing too much about zooper just yet it struck me that this might be a bit of a heavy handed approach, with potentially up to 48 bitmaps in the widget (according to the yahoo weather condition codes XML I found) each with their own advanced parameters being monitored.
So I suppose my question is, am I going about this the right way and will it be a huge drain on resources?
After reading this thread it seems I was right to think it felt heavy handed.
From what I've read, the right way to go about this is to have one bitmap layer with advanced parameters that display each picture only if the specific weather conditions are true.
Example:
Code:
$#WCCOND#=mostly cloudy?(b)/storage/emulated/0/ZooperWidget/Bitmaps/BlueBeacon/cloudy.jpg(/b)$
$#WCCOND#=sunny?(b)/storage/emulated/0/ZooperWidget/Bitmaps/BlueBeacon/sunny.jpg(/b)$
NB: The round brackets in the above code (b) (/b) should actually be square brackets but the forum turns this into bold.
You could create an iconset instead, or grab an iconset from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2084070 and replace the images with yours.

Thanks for that, I'll look into it. Is there any advantage to going the icon route? And does it matter that my images are jpg photos (eg. a cloudy sky rather than a cloud clip art)?

An iconset is a lot easier to manage (use in different widgets, sharing etc) as it's just 1 zip file. And I believe jpg will work as long as you edit the image extensions in the iconset xml file.
