Hello everyone,
I would like to change the appearance of a standard message window in my Xperia, I heard something about the HTC message but don't know how to take it.
I would like also change the look of windows / clouds that pop up when you hit the icon range. Take board to change this?
Is there a board?
King Regards!

Hi everybody,
I want to use a picture as wallpaper in my Qtek 9000..
But there is a problem: the lines between the Today plugins!!
I solved DEACTIVATING all today plugin!!
But i can't belive that i can't ERASE that damned lines!
Well: i tryed Wisbar Advanced desktop... but it slows the PPC..
I would write to Microsoft.. Because i HATE that lines..
I could use Pocket Plus.. But seems it crashes PDA..
Can you suggest me something similar.. Maybe freeware..
Please help me..
Bump and ditto, easy solution?
I too would like to know how to get rid of those stupid lines, it just makes any background image look crap.
I have managed to edit the Tomtom logo and made it smaller so it takes up less space but the annoying lines have to go.
If anyone out there knows a solution it would be greatly appriciated.
how did u edit the tomtom logo?
You could try changing the colour of the lines. Google for Tweaks2k2 and you should find a great tool you can download and use 3 times before needing to purchase it. BTW, the tool does a lot more than give you the ability to change the colour of the lines. This is a must-have app.
I can't belive that the only solution is to change the line's color!
I want to see the picture of my girlfriend WITHOUT that UGLY and STUPID lines!
No other phone in the world doesn't show a full picture!
I think that the solution is to write to Microsoft.. I can't belive it.. But there is no other solution!
They have to chang Today.. It's too old.. Based on old Pocket PC (In portrait)..
Maybe i posted in a wrong room?
on a old jornada I had I recall an app that had this as an option, so its possible, there must be a way to do it, maybe just replacing the image used for the lines with a blank one?, Im no coder or anything like that, just throwing out an idea, this is a developer forum, maybe someone could throw together a quick and dirty hack or maybe a reg hack, somebody help us out, I hate those lines too.

This issue has come up in several threads. The only way I know to "get rid of" them is to change the color to match the background by using a Theme Generator program.
I found links to the SHMetrics value in the SHELL32.EXE code of wm2003se. It is all done by COMMCTRL.DLL and te lines are called TodayLVItemLine2 and TodayLVItemLine1. But this is very undocumented. The problem is that you need to reboot every time you change something in the SHMetrics value.
See this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=44154
I am still fiddling around with various values of this SHMetrics value. Problem is that I realy don't know what the effect is on what GUI element.
Perhaps one day...
Cheers
Im running wisbar advance 2 and I average 2-8% cpu (overclocked to 264) with it running but I dont see a setting to remove the lines, correct me if Im wrong...
I wish wisbar had different edge/gprs icon support, edge is spotty in many areas I frequent, so I trey to dl when im in an edge supporting cell...even if it just showed the actual icon like "notifications"

to change the colour of the tomtom sign just go to paint and zoom in and change the colour to your desire. i have made mine deep red. and to change the size go into photoshop and change the image size to a smaller size.
Once you have the one you want just go to the tomtom folder that should be on the root of your device and replace the file ttoday.bmp with the one you have. You might want to back up the original ttoday.bmp file just in case.
Once replace you don't even need to soft-reset. just go into settings-today and check to see if tomtom is selected to appear on your today screen. once you tap on the tick in the corner your picture will be updated.
Il try to attach the ones i have done but this is my first time attaching an image so it might not work.
As for the crappy lines on the screen.....Is there not a way just to make the lines invisible???

Hi, i was just wondering if there was a way of changing the look of text messages. Its all fancy when it touchflo showing the last message received, but as soon as i reply or go to all messages, its a horrible white screen and very plan. Anyone got any solutions to this? Thanks.
Hi
Consider upgrading to one of the latest Rhodium/Topaz ROMs where HTC have included this area of Windows Mobile within their customisation and done a reasonable job of hiding our very own Ugly Betty (WinMob 6.1)

the other way around is using a proggie like sktools to change system colors of winmo parts (a bit like righclicking on our win PC desktop/properties/appearance)
just changes colors anyway
Programs that change the system colours seems like a great idea until you start doing it, i too hate the boring messaging colours, i wanted white letters on a black background, but although u can easily change them u soon realise its not workable, changing "window background colour" to black also changes signal bars to black, & it also changes internet pages such as facebook to black, but when u then change text colour to white for messaging it leaves web pages with black type on black ! & notification text would also be black on black, you end up trying different combinations for ages then reverting to standard.
yup thats the crap of it
like in pc windows anyway
Hello everyone, I am an Italian partially sighted, and then I have big problems of view. I note with regret that Android is very configurable, but with more difficulty.
I have a HTC Desire with root privileges.
I would simply like to change most of the interface, not pleasure, but to use it, for example, I have to change anything that has white background with black background and then put white text, here's a list:
- Change backgrounds with blacks and whites to white text (it is called high-contrast)
- Change buttons with clear background and insert new ones with black background and white text
- A little larger all the characters
- Enlarge icons
- Have all black keyboard with white keys
- Have different software with a black background and white text
How do you see there.
I am a programmer and I also know Java and I have the android SDK installed, the only lacks experience in this system since I got two days ago.
I installed without success, Open Home, in the sense that I did not get good results.
Can you help?
I am willing to install something already done or create something from scratch I just do not know where to start, I know that Android is based on the topics of XML, but I do not know where in the system, such as retrieve and re-enter .
Excuse me for my bad english
Thank you all.
Ale
I would be interested in the results that could be achieved by one of the active themers around here, in response to OP's request.
I do not have the difficulties that OP does with his vision, but I think that black everywhere with white text is far more attractive. I'd be especially interested in a mod for the GMail app, Market, People, etc.
I hope someone can help out so the OP can really get some use out of his phone
Hi there,
I am looking for a way to change the left Softkey of my phone (HTC TP2, Tilt,Rhodium) from actually "People" to "Home". (I am bored of recalling my Phonepartner, because I wanted to change to the HTC sense Homescreen while have a phone call and so, I suspended the call ...)
This is NOT the Softkey of the Manila / HTC sense UID, but the one of the Phone (cprog).
I had looked at the registry and nothing found and I used the search-function here at the forum, but nothing found, too.
Can anyone help me ?
Thank you,
MalcomX
Hi Guys,
After living with Manilla ever since I got my TouchPro2 (I hate HTC Sense), I decided today to go back to the original Today Screen style, with 'Pocket Digital Clock' and 'Easy Today Launcher' doing the honours as useful plugins.
What I can't seem to find (and judging by a search in these forums and the internet nor can anyone else) is a simple one line plugin that displays Unread SMS/Emails and Missed Calls Counts, either as nice little icons, or just text.
I don't want to switch to HTC Home Plugin as that's too heavy for what I need.
I had a quick look at the MSDN samples and I'm sure I could have a crack at it, but it'd take me hours to even get a rough version working.... So, does anyone have a plugin that does what I need easily, or (long shot) does anyone fancy knocking one up for me?
Thanks in advance,
-Jar.
