I would like to know if it's possible to customize the HTC Home plugin (as found in the full Indigo ROM for example), specifically:
1. Change the typeface (font) on the clock, the digital clock is kinda boring.
2. Make the Weather section poll a different weather service than accuweather, I find their values consistently off for my area.
3. Use colour icons for the 5 tabs instead of the Touch-styled grey ones.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks, guys!
Hi,
First to avoid the confusion, I'm NOT looking for the transparent curtain in TF3D, im not using TF3D.
I've got many nice wallpapers for today screen, however, the top (the bar that contains: start button, network signal, battery icon) & and bottom bar (2 soft button) make this unpleasant.
I've searched around and came across SkinMobile 5 & VJToggleToggle/Today ... however, it looks to me like they don't support WM6.1, nor WVGA.
SkinMobile5 v1.1 is what i tried, and it doesn't provide transparency, and has to be run in background
Could any one offer me a solution to make these bars transparent so I can see my wallpaper fully?
I thought these should be some png files that I can set transparency to?
Thanks...
guys... help please... How come all of my questions never attract any reply?
there are quite a few posts with replies out there mate

Well i can 't find ANY when using search on transparent menu,
so if anybody know a link please . . . .?
i hope due to the wm6.5 wich has actually transparent windows task bar and bottom menue bar
it might be possible to get an mix version also for the diamond.
or only an tsk file which has this "colour for transparence"
would be realy cool
if anyone has it please send me an pm
greets
That's EXACTLY what I was thinking of !!
I've been trying to modify one of the Pocket PC Themes (a .tsk file), but unfortunately couldn't find no transparancy options for the top & bottom bars as you indicated ...
I used Netswap ThemeMaker X (TMX) & Microsoft Pocket PC 2002 Theme Generator.... Perhaps there is an advanced software somewhere that could actually help...
anyone got it solved
Transparent taskbar and commandbar
Need transparency for both the task bar and the command bar, - I'm using topaz
Did you try Max TF3D Theme Maker

Mate,
Did u try this ? This is for WM6.5
Never got a chance to try it myself but looks promising
Give it a try but start from here
It will work on WM 6.1 & 6.5 + any Manila version
It may be possible for WM 6.5 with MaxTTM, but not for WM 6.1, MaxTTM can only change the icons of the taskbar but not the transparency. Hope someone comes out with an answer for the transparency - ( please note that the transparency is required only for the taskbar and the command bar - not the taskbar icons nor the softkeys) - Thankyou.
Edit1: Maybe something like below:
http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/4871/honeycombui.gif
WM6.1 top/bottom bar transparent (not TF3d user)
I would also like to have this transparency... if anyone knows please share... thanks !!
so it's not possible with windows mobile 6.1??

Nope...
use hdwall just use the search function or:
1. Take your wallpaper
2. creat to new pngs one called mysoftkeybar.png and the other mytaskbar.png or whatever you like. (480x52 Pixel)
3.put the top of your wallpaper first 52 rows (sorry for my english) in the taskbar.png and the bottom 52 in the softkeybar.png.
4. Copy theme into \Windows\ folder
5. Edit the registry entries:
\\\registry\HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Softkeybar\SoftKeyBarImage
to your pngs
same for taskbar
and reset device.
but i highly recomend to use hdwall much easier
oh i neary forgot your wallpaper image should now be 480x692 pixel's for the normal today (crop of the bars)
for manila use the normal wallpaper

Taskbar Icons WARNING:
Please take SPECIAL WARNING when playing with taskbar icon deployment. All components currently supplied are only VGA based and have been tested on WVGA devices without any issues. PLEASE DO NOT deploy this on QVGA/QWVGA phone or it will go for an immediate hard reset. Also, I will not be responsible for whatever that can go wrong wt your phone. ( supposedly nothing much, worst case a HARD RESET )
To know more about taskbar icons, pls go to the below links. Pls read theme before posting any bugs/questions.

INTRODUCTION
In a nutshell, TF3D theme can be broken down into groups of files or "components" depending on what level you want to go down to. Traditionally when you install themes, you get the whole package. With this app, it gives you now the opportunity to break them down into seperate components which you can later deploy and create your very own personalized theme. This is the basis of this app. Below is a picture of how I have broken the components down.
Besides graphics, the other important element of a theme is the color. This app can now gives you full flexibility to modify certain components of theme like the taskbar, commandbar and font color which was not possible before for TF3D.
If this is not enough, there’s also a function which allows you to personalized your own text. Show off to your friends and tell them that you have the phone specially made for you.
How about having your theme auto change itself on a scheduled time? I can assure you that you will never get dull with your phone theme ever again.
You can also now shake your phone to change the wallpaper instantly.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
There are quite a number of new home layouts released till now. Below are a list of them for your reference. If you want to learn how to customize your theme, pls check the link "How to Customize Your Theme" on post #3.
These are specially created manila files where it changes the original layout of a big flip clock to the analog clock layouts and etc. As these files have to modified, they can only work for respective manila version. So, please check your TF3D version before deploying these files. Right now, only WVGA is supported for the home layouts.
Easter egg for Analog Only and Analog Only Special home layout. You can press and hold the analog clock and then move them like a widget across the screen.
Enjoy

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) :
Does this works on other phones beside Touch HD?
In essence, the app works in any phone. The main ingredient, TouchFlo components which are supplied together wt this app, are tweaked specifically for Touch HD using the new manila version. All graphical components like tab icons, slider, curtains, flipclock are shared across all manila version used in all HTC phones. Only specific components like the home tab layout and analog clocks are specially tweaked for Touch HD ( in my case, I'm using Duttys ROM 2.6 )
How about phones that uses the new manila version?
There is a very good chance that it will work. However, there may be some issue with resolution as the alignment are all based on Touch HD 480x800. In this case, Xperia should work well.
Can I retain some of the components that I'd captured earlier after a new ROM flash?
Yes, as long as you have installed the program in your storage card. After flashing the new ROM, re-install the app into the same location and you will retain those components that you had earlier.
After installing the analog clock layout component, why do I have a white screen?
The analog clock layout component requires you to select a wallpaper from Settings tab to fill up the background. Also, you must select both the analog clock body and hand to display the analog clock.
What is the difference between wallpapers selected from Settings tab and those that was supplied as components?
The wallpaper component is unlike the standard jpg or png images that you encounter. They are basically pre-made qtc format file used as default background. If you have not installed any wallpapers from Settings tab, this will be displayed. Also, one point of notice that in the non BG4All layout components, on the home tab will display the wallpapers from Settings tab and other tabs will display the default background. The advantage is that now you can have 3 backgrounds ( home tab, other tabs portrait and landscape ). The other reason I keep this component ( which I also use personally ) is that the rotation works faster than the BG4All layout component.
Why I can't edit my personalized text?
This can only works on the components that is supplied through me. You can PM me if you want to add this feature on your own layout.
Why I can't change the font color on home tab?
Again, this only works on components that is supplied through me. You can PM me if you want to add this feature.
Can I manually add components to this program?
Yes. All components are located in folders inside the \MaxTTM\Components folder. By giving your folder a name and putting it under the correct components category, the app will display the components when you load the app. The app can then deploy the components as if you have captured them previously.
Does the THEME COLOR works on WM6.5?
Unfortunately, no. WM6.5 uses a totally different color scheme and hopefully this can be included in later version. Now there's a new tab called "WM6.5" which allows you to tweak the outlook of your taskbar and softkey bar. Check the above "How to Customize Your WM6.5 Theme" tutorial.
I've accidentally installed the BG4all before changing the startmenu back to classic. How do I get access to startmenu now?
Go to SETTINGS tab. Click on "All Settings". In Settings, go and disable TouchFLO at Personal -> Today. You should be able to access Startmenu again. You can then run the app and set the startmenu setting.
Please read the FAQ and manual before posting any questions.
Anybody who wants to contribute to this component repository is more than welcome. Pls post in this thread and attach your components and I'll put the link to that post here.

Are we able to change for example the text like on your Max Blue Theme for dutty roms in the top horizontal bar where the operator logo is displayed?
For example - your Max blue cab changes this to show Max Touch HD on the right hand side - is this customisable using this software?
thanks in advance.

Unfortunately no. This involves modify a mode9 file and it's quite complicated to do so but maybe in the future. You can still modify yourself and then save it on the folder.

Before you install anything, always BACKUP!!! There's a function "BACKUP THEME" that you should use before you do anything else. You can later "RESTORE THEME" to get back your original theme. Pls read the instruction before doing anything.

I restored my backups many times without any problem. The backup is normally used once after you'd installed the program. This is to ensure that whatever theme that you had before are not lost. You can also add the component items on the list (if you know which file to capture).

Intro:
This Manila (TouchFlo3D/Sense) modification is made to complement maranell0's excellent HDWall.
It does the following:
- fixes the WM6.5 skinned taskbar wallpaper misalignment (seen as small black line below the taskbar)
- fixes other general misalignments depending on Manila version
- allows you to select a different High Quality Home Tab wallpaper
- [Manila 2.0 & 2.1 only] allows you to set a wallpaper on the Manila Start Menu (this is not the WM6.5 Start Menu!)
UPDATE 23/05/2010:
New version with landscape support. Universal version for any Manila 2.5.xxxx version.
Use it with the new HDWall v0.29b.
UPDATE 22/02/2010:
New version for Manila 2.5.2011 and 2012.
UPDATE 28/11/2009:
I remade the patch for Manila 2.5. Now it replaces less manila files so it's more compatible with other Manila mods (such as the 16/20 quick links or Max Manila Ultimate).
UPDATE 24/11/2009:
Support for Manila 2.5 (HTC Sense).
The patch fixes the line below the taskbar (visible when using WM6.5 skinned taskbar) and the bug in landscape on Photo and Music tabs.
It also allows you to set a different HQ Home Tab Wallpaper.
You have to use HDWall v0.28b or newer with this patch.
Known issues:
- Max Manila: In Max Manila Setting you must set the wallpaper to default (D). Also make sure you use the Sense - All Tabs profile in HDWall.
Requirements:
This patch will only work on Manila (TouchFlo3D/Sense) versions 2.0, 2.1 and 2.5.
To check the version go to the settings tab in TouchFlo, at the bottom there should be "About" and "TouchFLO 3D" followed by the version number.
Update: With recent Manilas the version info is no longer there. If that is the case for you try to find the Manila version info here: on the Settings Tab hit All Settings then System, Device Information, Software Information.

How to install:
Download one of the CABs attached below. Download the right cab for your version of Manila: 2.0, 2.1 or 2.5.
Install the cab on your phone and you'll have a freshly patched manila with high resolution home tab support.
Now, in order to set wallpapers you have use HDWall by maranell0. The old way of setting wallpapers from TF3D Settings tab is disabled.

Depends on which version of TF3D you have. This patch only works on versions 2.0 and 2.1. To check the version go to the settings tab in TouchFlo, at the bottom there should be "About" and "TouchFLO 3D" followed by version number.
Beautiful, thanks very much for this.
Working in Onkolog 25/6 build (WM 6.5).
However, there is a slight but noticeable more lag for a tab to come up after it is tapped. ie. after I press the 'Programs' tab it will take half a second more for the programs to be displayed on screen.
It is small enough for me to live with for now, but time will tell how I will think of it when I use the phone on the go.
Anyways, thanks very much!

Did you make you wallpaper with or without UltraHQ compression?
While I was testing I noticed some issues with UltraHQ - tab switch lag and choppy animations for tab slider and hide/show clock.
Without UltraHQ everything runs smoothly.
Duuuude!!! Do you know that you rock?
Now for the question. As I understand, the file names are different for the home tab, and for the "all tabs".. Can I create a home page image with "your" profile, than make a "rest of the tabs" image with the default profile, and run the "create cab" process that adds all of these images into 1 cab.. Will this make an installer that changes both the home tab and the rest of the tabs? I mean.. I hope so
Update: YES, it DOES work! Now, there's still the weird difference in padding (or at least I think so.. The bottom of the image seems ok, but I think the top it seems to move a couple of pixels higher.. but nonetheless, now it looks EPIC! Thanks a lot for the awesome update!
I guess I noticed a small... bug.. ?
The home tab doesn't have a "hashed" area on the top.. The operator name now is printed directly on the background..
And of course the non-transparent slider, but I suppose that's not an issue with your cab

I didn't notice this before because I was using completely different home and non-home wallpapers. I'll try to fix it so they align correctly.

Do you have Manila 2.0 or 2.1? I might have done something wrong with v2.0.

Very weird. I flashed a Manila 2.0 ROM on my Blackstone and everything seems to be OK: Home,Non-Home
You must have a slightly different version of Manila. I'm not going to be able to fix that. Sorry
Hehe, weird indeed..
Oh well, it's not like it's a big problem.. Besides, I'll flash a custom rom at some point anyway
Thanks a LOT for your cab again ^^
Good Job!!! Now i can spend even longer looking at the millions of HD pics available for different tabs
The only thing i want to know is how to change default grey colour on tabs text (ie sms messages, calender items on home tab etc etc. Its often difficult to read when using a lighter colour picture, making it useless.
Any clues to simplify this task?
I think you should be able to do this with MaxTTM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493011
I found and fixed a small bug in landscape mode. Updated CABs in first post.
Nice work, thank you!
New version up - see first post.
I added support for Manila Start Menu Wallpapers:
Also, maranell0 said he would include these profiles and cabs in the next version of HDWall, so watch out for that. It will make creating these wallpapers easier
co0kiemonster.... GREAT WORK. I have 1 small question though. I realise this app was probably designed with the devices which have tf installed as stock, but I'm using a SE XPERIA with Smaberg's TouchX 10.1 Rom. I've installed your cab (i've tried manila 2.0 & 2.1 cabs) and there is one small side effect. I can no longer tap on the clock and go into time settings. I can tap on the alarm and set those so it's not a big problem, more a "would like to have". I thought I'd bring it to your attention for any further releases.
Besides that... NICE, I can have matching wallpaper through all tabs including the start menu... SWEET!! Ta very much!

Hola,
1) the Top Icons as you call them, are "hidden" and included within the dll´s of your device. If you want to change them, you can either learn how to make taskbars (extract images from them, easy, but then mod them, also easy, and finally "put them back in and make the taskbar work - not so easy). You might find up to 1500 or 2000 images within the taskbar. Some of the images can be found in windows root though ;-)
It´s a lot easier to find a "proper" taskbar with the icons you want, or and this I would not recommend at all - play and check which dll is responsible for which iconm and mix them.
Messing with these can really screw your device, so if you don´t know, don´t do it
2) Transparency for the BackGround of ClockArray
- you can edit the manila file for the background your self, then you would have to decide wethere transparent or visible, and keep the "other" version on SD card, so that when ypou wanted to change that, you simply "replace" the one in windows from SD Card
- or if using CHT, you can install Poyensa´s CHT Tweaks (beta) and use the config possibilities in it to make it transparent or visible on the go, as well as many other interesting configuration options within and for CHT Widgets...
3) That is a rather tricky one because it´s hidden in the mode 9 file for that tab, and maybe also referenced by lua files and other mode9, and this tweaks are discussed in specific threads so that the average user is not missled into modding elements that could mess his or her sense(s)
4) You already have those icons provided by you. The are in the cab from Keko
If you check the files with CFCGui you will find up to 5 or 6 icons that are "almost" the same for each tab. As posted in the other thread:
he slider cab / or slider elements consist of the following groups/items:
- Slider bar icons when selector is not "on" them
- Icons on selector when scrolling over bar icon (these are transparent when using transparent slider, except for calendar because of date)
- Midscreen Icons
and last but not least, the ones within the settings tab and tab config personalize options
If you could tell me, which ones you would like to change, I could provide you with the list for them

Which manila files are these?
Hi, manila files are located in the windows, if you change (copy paste) remember to backup the original ones.
This cab is for transparent bar operator, just to start ....... To me it works 100% with CHT. to make transparent the other bars, there are many cab we work with hd mini. There is a cab I think I ANASTASIA that makes everything transparent screen, calendar of 70%. the only thing that does not work with hd mini is the digital clock. My setup always with CHT.

If the cab is OK, it should restore the o files after uninstall - but you should ALWAYS know the files that are beeing modded/replaced, and if you don´t have your ROM files broken down already on PC, then you should back them up from device first
FlipClock background has two files:
BackGround normal = "31794a12_manila"
BackGround when "pressed" = "0b6f5c5e_manila"
Hi BHS,
thx fpr this file names. The Flip Clock background files are well known
I am searching the files for the top bar. In my Screen marked with number 2
Regards

You are still on CHT right?
Sure, check out 573d289b_manila It´s a manila qtc (image) file that can easily be modded to suit your needs for the Home Tab. And in one of Gabbana´s posts (actually two posts, one cab and one zip) where he offers transparent top bars for all tabs except the Music Tab... Sense Transparent top bar tab Maybe you have included them already in your collection of Gabbana´s work?

You,re welcome. If you try files, just remember to always backup the original ones, and if you are not sure about the origin or the changes in those files, replace them one by one and check for results...
This way, if "undesired" side effects happen, you can simply replace the file by the initial one
Unless a cab / install does a lot to your registry... In this case, an uninstall sometimes will not revert your registry back, but you can check in the cab for the changes.
