Three New WM6 Themes [FIXED]

Hello,
I made three themes for WM6 for personal use with some wallpapers i found around the net and in the forum. These are nothing special but as i like them so much i thought i'd share them with you, you might like them as well.
The "Tree" theme doesn't have a landscape wallpaper (it's black) because i couldn't find the corresponding wallpaper, nor the original where it was taken from. This is not a big deal for me as i never use landscape mode, but i thought i'd warn you.
Here they go, hope you like them:

These are named Tree, iPhone and Harp. Enjoy.
EDIT1: Fixed the colours on the blue themes. Some people seem to get black bars instead of blue.
EDIT2: Uploaded actual screenshots.

I loaded the Tree theme and the background matches but the buttons, clock etc are in "windows" style. Any idea why? Or what to change?
Thanks,
NK

The buttons are part of HTCHome not a theme.

clock
Is is possible so that touching the clock numbers that it doesn;t go to alarms, ie does nothing., I keep on touching them in error.
Nice theme BTW

Yeah, to change those you have to modify the icons separately. There's a tool called HHC (HTC Home Customizer) which will do that for you easily.
Try this:
http://www.pocketemu.com/hhc-info.html

OK ... I loaded HHC and the "HTC.Home.v2.1.1005.722.Directory.And.Brightness.Fix.schen.cab" on to the WM6 Axim x50V. The program appears to work but I can't get the home screen to change?
Thoughts .... Help?
NK

you have to load HHC after loading HTC home than go to HHC customizer and change what you like from there,you can DL different Icons and stuff from there

I'm not having such good luck. I reloaded as you said. When I run HHC it seems to work fine. I click the "re-apply" button and when I close, no change.
I'm running MagLite's A02 WM6 rom. Did you need to install any other cabs? Any other thoughts?
Thanks for helping.
Nick

are you touching save at the bottom of the screen in the hhc?

I believe on the emunutz home site (creator of Home Customizer) he stated that Customizer wont work with the v 2.1.1005.722 Home, you will need the older version (attached) which to me looks the same as the new release.

Doesn't this version have a bug with going into vibrate mode? I recently reimaged my phone and I'm running this version and even when in Normal mode, if I have an appointment, my phone goes into vibrate mode occasionally.

Animated wallpapers

Are any good animated wallpapers in WVGA out there?
Does TF3D support them? If not, we could use them for S2U2.
All animations I can find are vor QVGA :-(
I tried making my own by compressing a dreamscene video ans resizing it to WVGA.
It worked, but the filesize was too big and the image quality was too bad...

I also would like to know where I can found animated wallpapers to use them in Manila 2.5

i don't even know what kind of animated wallpaper it is?? (gif? or what??)
and i wondered 480x800 gif might look awful on HD... since the color is limited to 256 colors in gifs and with such a high resolution...

Haven't seen anything except this which I know isn't exactly what you are looking for.
Also found this thread on same topic, but unfortunately with no success

A truly animated background would be way too sweet!!!

so it means manila 2.5's animated wallpaper = 480x800 gif?

Dont know. Im testing it wright now!
Made animated gif file of 7MB size. But doesn't play it!

Don't be silly guys, it's not animated gifs. A quick look in the /windows/My animated wallpaper dir shows a bunch of PNG's which are the actual background used for this (at least in Miri's V9.0). The animations themselves must be included in manilla files, like the weather animations.
So good luck to create your own. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think it will be as easy a creating animated GIFs.
Exemple here (just the background pic without animations)

I don't think that they must be included in manila files. Because when select that you want an animatet wallpaper it takes you to Album where you must srch for it!

It sounds logical, you still need to have a preview of the animation.
By the way, I've just checked if by chance those png's were animated (apng format, same extension .png) but they are not. Just a flat background.

Seems I was right: these pics are part of the animation related to the background pic I've just posted. I've extracted them with CFC editor fro chainfire. Same song as for the weather animations. I think we would need a special tool to create our own animations because they are scripted, which is quite more complicated than just a bunch of frames playing constinuously.

any luck with that for now?

Can someone upload those original xperia wallpapers from official rom??

Hi!
I'm new to WinMo, so this may be a noob question, but... Can someone tell me please how to change the wallpaper transparency on Today screen? I'm asking because when i set up a picture as wallpaper, the picture displayed in the background is awful...as if it's in some white/grey tone, and of course the Icon titles are also displayed in white so i can't see them well.
Thank you very much for your help in advance!
Anyway SEX1i rocks!

Setting Wallpaper with 0% transparency
All you need to do is access File Manager, locate the image and open it. Now select Menu then Set as Today Background. Here you can adjust the part of the image displayed (if needed) and the Transparency. Bare in mind that if you change your theme you will have to go an redo this as it will default back to that ugly ass, greyed out crap.

800x480 wallpapers
Have a look at the Blackstone wallpaper thread for more:

you can move the quicklinks up/down like other widgets and also you can resize it...
I removed text and text background from CHTEditor and resized it by taping and holding... there will be a list of options... choose resize.

I don`t have that paste "HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Softkeys.KeyHeight".

[DEV] Windows 8.1 Touch-Keyboard Customisation & more

Hi all
after some research to customise the W8 on screen keyboard,
i have replace a duib resources by a duib xml extracted from W8 beta version....
this can also be used to edit some other parts of the Modern UI...
this work is at alpha stage an contain some visual bug as you can see at the end of this post.
i'm always working on it but i hope some users will also contribute!
you can try this mod by replacing the dll tabskb.dll by the attached version (x64)
or replace the resources UIFILE/15731 in yours using reshack.
there is a lots of customisation possibility:
add a key border (color,size...)
change key background color.
change keyboard background color...
& a lot more with better understanding of the duib xml...
you need to take ownership of the file & kill tabtip.exe....
Tested on Windows 8.1 6.3.9600.17031
Code:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ink\tabskb.dll

Windows 8.1 Hidden Start Menu Animation
During my test i have found some registry key used for the start menu animation but not present !
you can customise how the tiles appear with those keys:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell\Grid]
"Launcher_AnimationOffset_Launcher_Cx"=dword:00000000
"Launcher_AnimationOffset_Launcher_Cy"=dword:00000000
"Launcher_AnimationOffset_IndividualTower_Offset"=dword:00000000
For exemple:
"Launcher_AnimationOffset_Launcher_Cx"=dword:00002000
tiles come from right.
"Launcher_AnimationOffset_Launcher_Cy"=dword:00002000
from bottom
There is also this one to have the anim like at login but this can be slow....
"Launcher_SessionLoginAnimation_OnShow"=dword:00000001

Can it be transparent?

In fact stock keyboard background is transparent but the Tabtip window is black.

IMHO - one of the biggest things needed for windows 8.1, is opacity control, and gesture support for the onscreen keyboard. I have the 8" Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet, and when the keyboard pops up, it literally takes up 3/4 of the screen in landscape mode. Portrait mode is not so bad, I would love to have gesture support as well - swipe like functions. The feature is now on Windows Phone (gestures), why cant we get it on W8.1.

it would be good to know how to change the font size on the "extended" (full) keyboard ... I would like it to be "Bold" type like on the normal keyboard.

does anyone know of a swipe keyboard for w8.1? I Tried TouchPal and it say it has the swipe feature, however when I check it does nothing?
