.net Components... - Windows Mobile Software Development

Hi all,
I am trying to create some WM6.x app's based on .NET3.5 with Visual Studio 2008.
What I find is that the default libraries contain only very boring sliders, and like the nice sliders that most app's have these day's do give a more intuitive look and feel to an app.
Is there somewhere a set of these components, like a HTC TF3D SDK-isch tingy for my on/off switches and sliders.
You know red/green sliders.
thanks in advance.

you need to install one of the wm themes. the .net framework by itself won't let you change those things unless you override classes (like onRender).
eg i use this theme .. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4653738
and as far as a htc looking UI have a look at this SDK. it allows you to create UI elements in the htc style. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4653738 . but, it has a few bugs and hasnt been updated in a while.. it is extensible though so you can make your own UI elements.

WM 6.5 Backgrounds - theme Maker?

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
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) ;-)

[SKIN][TF3D2][18-06-09] AnX1 Nature's Grace V1.0

(Click the image to download)
Donations are much appreciated!
​
Introduction:
This is based on my previous "Shadowsong" skin (which no longer exists).
Many people found that too gloomy and dark, so I adapted and made it... happier!
In the process I tried to preserve the balance between tech (glow, embossed) and
nature (background, colors) which I also tried to approach in Shadowsong.
This skin uses a lot newer code, with some neat features. Enjoy!
Changelog:
* None yet! *
Upcoming features:
- Improved start menu
- Inside menu's graphic tweaks
- Improved media player layout.
Features:
- Fully skinned TF3D2 with files from Rhodium build 1.19.
- Panoramic Background modification
- Improved Slider modification.
- Sprint clock modification
- Complete skin, including submenu's.
Acknowledgements:
- Guap: Sprint clock mode9 files.
- Rotastrain: Slider and panoramic background mode9 files.
Installation:
- Download the .cab file
- Copy the file to your device or memory card
- Run the .cab and install it to main memory
- Restart your phone
* If your TF3D becomes white after installation, your ROM or TF3D2 installation does not support CFC (Chainfire's compression). Download the compatibility cab and install that instead. (can be done on top of the previous install) *
Compatibility:
- Should be compatible with all TF3D2 Rhodium builds.
- WM6.1 confirmed.
- WM6.5 unconfirmed, but should work.

- AnX1 Actionscreen v1.2

Rotastrain made small tutorial on how to make backgrounds for this. (It's his panoramic code). Search for it, in this forum.
While I really appreciate the scenic background, I must say that reading white text on the light background is really not comfortable. Either the text will have to be made darker or that beautiful background has to change!
Yes, Rota made a nice tutorial to make panoramic backgrounds, but for those of us who have no IT skills, is there some place where panoramic backgrounds are available that we could just dump into a folder ... easy and simple?
The background is 01253_silence_1280x800.jpg from interfacelift.com (maybe the source is another size then 1280x800).

Seek and you shall find. In Rotastrain's thread about panosidetoside, users have posted over 50 wallpapers, all panoramic. =]

Actually, that is not my source. It's a wallpaper that is available at several sites all over the internet.
I've received quite some feedback on the TP2 forum, regarding some issues and suggestions.
Does everyone in here think it's just fine as it is? I'm not getting many replies, so I'm actively asking for 'em now.
Really nice, great job guy.
After installed, there is a part of white color on the "moving tab", even when I move it to anywhere , it still nothing change, but the backgroud of the tab such as home , message, mail ,etc, which is no problem
On this solution, is that mean's "If your TF3D becomes white after installation" ?
Beacuse I have also tried install 'compatibility cab' but there is nothing change, thx

No, that's not the same bug. With the white, I mean entire manila.
Please post a screencapture of the bug, so I can better understand what the problem is.
it's look like this ( I used your screen shot )
I am using X1 firmware R3AA010 , TouchFLO 3D 3.0.38196.3 B3

I see. I haven't seen this problem before. I think it's because Rotastrain's crystal slider isn't compatible with the CAB TF3D2. Rotastrain is the only one I know who can fix this. You had best ask him, so he can tell you which files he needs from you to be able to patch it.
help with stock icon
Hi Angelusz. This is a really great theme. I am having a problem with the stock preview icon. The 174ba15d_manila contains the correct image (see cfc gui screenshot), but displays the old stock icon (see other screenshot). I think this might have to do with the manila name. 174ba15d_manila is named stock_preview.qtc, while all of the other preview icons are named filename-hero.qtc (ie home-hero.qtc). The stock preview icon is the only one not listed under manila\icon preview. However, I do not know how to change the manila file name, so I cannot test it. Would you be able to test this to see if it corrects the issue? Thanks.

Wait, so how do you get the background image to move when going through the tf3d tabs, and is it possible to add own background that moves like that?

That moving background is Rotastrain's Panosidetoside. You can modify it, as it's just normal manila image files (QTC).

WM 6.5 Theme {How To}

With the growing number of ROMs and all the hardwork put behind them, I feel its time to have a comprehensive tutorial for skinning or theming WM 6.5 titanium.
There is a tutorial available, but somehow its difficult to comprehend. Perhaps one of the theme GURUS can answer these,
1. Does wm6.5 require tsk files or has its own code.
2. Will themegen ce work with WM 6.5.
3. How do we edit an already created theme "cab" only for the wallpaper. No colour or any other change.
4. What if only the taskbars and the wallpaper is something you wanna replace. Do you need to create a theme or just edit the relevant files in an already created theme.
If some one can help in the above, I have a lot of time to create some great themes and even take requests.
WM 6.5 Gurus ...please help.
can i change the Today pic .. like 1 for the titanium homescreen and another 1 for the Menu background?
and u cant have a separate 1 for landscape mode hey? ^^
Nah i dont think you can have seperate background for menu and today in titanium.
You can change the minimize tab and the main tab though for landcape and portrait.

If you want a new Theme you'll have to download the img files of the theme and the tsk file (usually they are packed in one cab)
2. Will themegen ce work with WM 6.5.
Don't know =) You can try it and share your Results
3. How do we edit an already created theme "cab" only for the wallpaper. No colour or any other change.
Open the cab with an Cab Manager and replace the stwater background file
4. What if only the taskbars and the wallpaper is something you wanna replace. Do you need to create a theme or just edit the relevant files in an already created theme.
you can replace them... but i'd rather create a new one because it's nearly the same work
If some one can help in the above, I have a lot of time to create some great themes and even take requests.
Can create my own one XD

Change program icons in Manila 2.5

Hi,
I asked this before, but only got a program to change the program icons in the windows start menu...it didnt carry over to the program icons in manila (im using Valkyrie_v5.7 24001)
I would prefer to have all icons in a similar fashion...some are low res and some dont fill the rounded square well.
Hope this made sense
Thanks
Use the program, then once you've changed the icons, delete all the contents in Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher then soft-reset.
By the way, I recommend nullstring's Icon Changer. He's an X1 user as well, so you're sure it'll work on your phone.

thank you..
never seen this post man, thanks alot! it works like a charm...i never realised that you had to delete those temp files!
im using the ireflect icons, i know they look like a gayphone...but they do look quite smart.
what icons you guys all use? im looking two that dont fit in at the moment;
ie icon (rounded corners)
marketplace (again, rounded corners)
If you are interested in some other ideas about icons, I can suggest those:
drik´s icon pack
dZenkinZ Iconset
tnynnt´s Application Icons
DINIK´s HD2 Icon Set
And maybe there´s even more on xda... those suggestions are just from the
forum I visit most these days...

[App] Moogly - simple to-do widget needs testers

Hi everyone! Im the developer of Moogly, a simple but useful todo list widget that started as a project for Honeycomb. The pr is after the break.
There have been reports that it doesnt work properly on some devices! If someone could be so kind as to try the Lite version and if it doesnt stretch properly, send me some screenshots and log files!
You can also post issues at the main thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202211
Thanks in advance!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MOOGLY
A simple but powerful to do list widget designed to be customized. Now with auto-hiding buttons!
Features:
★ Multiple independent, scrollable widgets
★ Quick, dialog based entry
★ Tick to delete or mark complete
★ Widgets are optimized for Honeycomb
★ Predefined themes or total customization
★ RTL support
★ Custom image backgrounds
This widget was inspired by To Do List from HTC Sense - for some reason, they were the only ones to get it right.
Lite Market link - restricted to 8 entries and only one widget
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.moogly.lite&feature=search_result
Screens:
This widget is THE BEST! Thanks a lot!
Love this widget, probably the only thing I missed about Sense.
Do you use HTC Classic Yellow?
Looks absolutely perfect on mine, SGS2 running ADW launcher, 2x2 widget and minimal dark skin.
An option to autohide the buttons at the bottom would be nice, as it sort of clashes with my minimal look, or even just an option to dispense with the settings and minus button?
I haven't bought the app yet, will probably do it in a couple of updates time. Your problem is kind of that you made the lite version too good - I only need one widget!
Great work
But do you only need 3 entries? Thats crazy when the app is only $.99

Yep - didn't realise the lite version had that limitation
Only found out when I tried to add a 4th - now I've got the pro version.
You're a good salesman.
Haha - gocha! Just kidding
great widget. hope will get more graphic enhancement in the future. it didnt look clean, it didnt look neat, its not stylish and sleek too but hey it works. thats the most important thing. now after you pushed all feature updates, make the visual enhancement so my friends will look at this widget with awesomeness not only with functionality, but with great UI.
What? It looks alot cooler than everything else on the market. You just seem to have questionable taste...

well, ok then~
Ok... i hope all those friends of yours can forgive me. I havent been making best selling apps all that long, its possible i just dont understand what im doing
Update should be ready tomorrow GTasks ftw!
Any issues to report?
Nope - working flawlessly and ive invested in your humble price and got the pro version
Ive now increased the Max number of entries that can be made in the free version - enjoy!
Any issues with the latest builds?
How can I hide Entrys? Is this only available in the Pro Version?
And a second question: Could it be possible to safe the Todo as a .txt-File and import it again e.g. after flashing a new Rom?
All lists are already saved. As for restore, i suggest you use Titanium or something like that.
Yep - the csv files can be found in RCBs directory!
