Changer for 6.1 Homescreen CPR and DLL files

This is a simple script for helps in locating cpr and dll(it actually looks for dla files like the weather ones are named) files that you have stored on your phone. With it, you can navigate to your file and choose it, and then it will take care of overwriting the current file being used.
I wrote this because I change up my cpr files alot and have different dll files that each one works better with different themes. So I wanted to be able to make a folder on storage card for dlls and cprs that I could easily copy and set on my homescreen.
To use this, once you have placed it on your phone. Run the FileChanger.mscr. It will ask which type of file you want to find and change, pick one and hit OK. Next, the File System Viewer will open and you will need to navigate to where you keep the file and choose it. Click OK, and it will ask you if you want to set the file change. Push Yes or No, and it will do the rest.
You can install these 2 files(in the zip below) anywhere on your phone as long as they stay within the same folder. They can be in main or storage, program files, my documents, wherever you want. Once placed, you could create a link to start menu or use CHome Config to set it to a panel for easy calling. Your cpr and dll files can be place wherever you want also, and do not have to be in the same folders. They could be scattered as long as you know where to look.

***This is a mortscript file and you will need Mortscript to run it. I attached the cab below for anyone not already using it.
***This only works for Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard
I could have placed this in a cab, but then it would install where I wanted to keep it, and not your choice other than main or storage. That's why I left in zip form. I will add some dll files tomorrow.
EVERYONE : If you have dll files or cpr files you would like to share( and I know some of you have them and can make them) PLEASE post them in here for everyone to enjoy.
Added portrait version so cprs would load correctly.

Here's some neon glow dll files for your homescreen. These dll files also includes new default icons. Just install using the changer.

Here's a few more. After unzipping, just put them on your phone and use the changer to install.

Here's some cpr files that will work to put a simple ODSHOWeather display on clock panel. There is a slim panel and a standard size panel version. Just unzip and use the changer to install.
The Feather zip is for use with Feather Weather and includes slim, standard and mini panels.
All are for landscape devices.

This is exactly what I'm looking for....I'll have to try to figure this editing out.

Thank you so much showaco. That was so simple and exactly what I wanted. Is there a way to slow down the scrolling text. It's fippin fast.

yeah, LOL, in the weather folder. Look in program files\outerdepth\kpweather\ and find loop.mscr. Open this with notepad on your pc. When you look at it you will see the text lines being written, with the RegWriteString lines.
After each one of these, there is a Sleep command. The numbers are milleseconds, so 1000 would be 1 second, 4000 would be 4 seconds, 3500- 3.5 seconds. That's how to set the time delay, just change to desired delay, resave, and then copy to phone. You can set each sleep command to a different delay if you want, some of the texts take less time to read and some more, so just play and get it where you like it.

Yeah, I'll post it tonight, I'll put up the whole theme you put together. I was hoping ya'll would all post your stuff on here. I know you and Outerdepth and NRG all have some, I started to post them all and decided I would let ya'll do it if you wanted to share. Thanks for posting yours!

ok.... i only asked you to post that one since i didn't keep that theme or .dll (imagine that?)

This is great, this way i can try yours and even put the WM7 dll from the weather 3.1 app and try them all easily.
Finally got my homescreen how i want it, but different panels to try would be great.
Since my troubles always came from my panels disappearing with a full replacement of cpr files, would it be possible the script replaces common parts of cpr files but leaves panels it doesn't know alone? (Worst are the NRG cpr files bringing up myfaves and the like)And does not show panels that are currently hidden? For say different versions of ClockExpanded w/o touching any of the others?
That would be most awesomest!
But even just replacing bronze in a jiffy is great, thanks,
Daniel

the cpr file is either all or nothing... no merging or editing....... basically the cpr file is similar in concept to the home.xml files..... the cpr file can be edited in notepad as well ( if you have a bit of understanding of how .css or .xml works) what basically happens is that the file( for the excalibur) it replaces the chome_320x240.cpr in the windows directory. The only way a .cpr file will mess up your panels (all by itself) is if a certain chome name ( such as "operator services" or "music") are omitted from the .cpr file..... usually the culprit is something in the registry that has to be manually changed.

I have mortscript.exe in my /Windows directory, courtesy of MiniWeather. If I place these two files into a directory on my storage card, will they still work ok, or do they need to be in the same folder as mortscript?

I believe it will work. If they say not associated with an app, then go to your mortscript.exe and click on it to see if that will register them and then try them again. If they still won't work, then you can do one of two things: 1) move the file changer.mscr and chomerefresh.exe into the folder with the mortscript(they only take up about 3 kb) or 2) download the mortscript cab I posted which I know can run files from anywhere. I have my changer in a new folder I made called changer along with all my files on the storage card. The cpr and dla files do not need to be in same folder as the changer itself, so you can put the cpr and dla files in storage while the file changer itself is in main.

Here's the theme and the dla by itself for all the longhorn fans!
The theme zip has the dll, the scheme.xml, and the UT wallpaper.
Enjoy, courtesy of Pudgedaddy, because he loves the longhorns.hehe
Right, Pudge? Maybe I'll see you at the Red River Rivalary game.

Mini Panels
Here's a cpr for mini panels, they are narrower in width and work with ODSHOWeather for the clock. Shown here with neon blue dll.

I really don't want this thread to end up in the dumpster. Its such a neat tool and i love theming my phone.

Here's a few new dll files just for sports. I included a gold and silver tint to go with the olympics(lol). Also, here's a texans logo panel.
Any requests for team logos?

Here's a new dll file for a variant of the chrome border, this one is by Kron2.

WM 6.5 Themes and Development

EDIT: Post your questions and discoveries regarding WM6.5 skinning here. For finished themes, you may visit this thread. Thanks.
My aim is to centralize WM6.5 Themes and any discovery on how to skin items such as messageboxes, etc. and any discovery on which could be changed via registry values.
I myself have just started on playing around with it and here is what I have so far:
1) Files could be saved anywhere on the Storage memory. I opted to save my image files and tsk files on \My Documents\Themes folder instead of overwriting the default files on the \Windows directory.
2) Which could be skinned: Bubble, Listview, Menu, Messagebox, Scrollbar, Tabview, Taskbar, Toast, UpDown Control.
3) Main Registry keys/values to look at:
- HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color\MultiColorTheme\
- HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\MultiColorThemeEnabled = 1
- HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Bubble, etc.
- HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color\MultiColorTheme\
- HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color\MultiColorTheme\ThemeColors
- HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color\MultiColorTheme\ThemeValues
As an example i created a theme posted on post#2.
Anything you discover with regards to theme generation or any registry keys to consider you can post on this thread. Thanks.
If you have created your own themes, you are welcome to post them here!

Hopefully the beginning of something extremely useful. Trying to put together some sort of idea of how the whole thing works together.
Please edit this page to update your findings! I've been very hit and miss in finding what these registry values actually change, although I think I've got a pretty good handle on how the whole thing works...
If you need some explanation, please drop a PM I'd be happy to explain so we can all figure this out.

A 'theme' cab is simply a .CAB renamed to .TSK. My instructions aren't 'there' but they're simply in-between the lines (I added this to my (now) mega-post):
1. Name your theme (use your name instead of the *)
2. Make your images according to the guidelines set. If you don't know what each image does, unpack some of the original shipped themes to get some ideas.
3. Make the TSK. Use WinCECabManager to edit my base theme so that wherever a key says "REPLACEWITHNAME" in the Registry section, put in *.
4. Add wallpapers. This is where you have to make separate files for VGA and QVGA. You need stwater_640_480.jpg, stwater_480_640.jpg, stwater_320_240.jpg, and stwater_640_480.jpg each at the resolutions given. Just drag and drop your files (these will be the backgrounds) into the Files section of your TSK and put them in the Windows folder and select Hard Code Path.
5. Save your TSK and create a new CAB. This will be your theme installer.
6. Drag and drop all of your TSK theme elements and the TSK itself into the files section and put all of the files in /My Documents/Themes/*/ and select Hard Code Path.
7. Test your theme by installing it. Select your theme in the Today settings and check that all of your theme elements are displayed. If some aren't, make sure you have everything in the right path and at the right resolution (also check filename!). If you had to edit something, just recompile your theme and test again.
8. If your theme works, share it! We all love a new theme in our midst Make sure you take some screenshots (preferably of the Home Screen and the Dialer with the right soft-key pressed) with SPB Screenshot. Then add your screenshots to the PSD template that is provided in the first post of this thread.

a tsk file is just a cab file. I use WinCE Cab Manager to make my tsk files and cab files.
I'm still trying to figure out registry keys to change the colors. I found a few but not that much. I was able to change the some colors via Basecolor1, Basecolor2, Basecolor3 and Basecolor4. Also via ThemeValues. Please see the registry keys on post 1.
I hope anybody who has a more comprehensive detail on the registry keys to change so we can better control the colors of the theme would post them here.

Hi there.
Here are icons for the tab bar and their accompanying preview images.
I can't take credit for the images. I took most of the images from the Internet and modified some of the original manila files e.g. I've added reflection to the three stock images and one of the footprint images (only the one on the bar and not the images on the selector and settings page).
Use the cab or copy the individual manlia files from the zip to the windows folder on your device.

How did you manage that? maranello's cab creator doesn't work for 2.5 tab icons.

puting manila files in cab
that's a trick
I didn't load any wallpaper but went directly to create cab
then I selected the folder with my manila files in the left part and pushed he button [add files] and they appeared at the right part.
did not select wallpaper or anything else just created the cab (and renamed it).
but I found an even better way here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400221
it does more than only copy files. it can do registry entering too
that's great!
now I can change the color of the taskbar too.
When I've figured out how the wallpapers are working in manila 2.5 I want to post a complete (more or less) theme on OSX style.

Hi there,
Is there a slider with OSX icons for Wm 6.1 TouchFlo 2.0
I just got my phone (HTC Diamond 2) & would love to have the OSX icons, but don't know how to get them.
These here do not work in my device and the HDWall Slider part does not work, calling me not have proper version of .NET framework (I updated it to as fresh version as possible).
Please, help me guys if you would have a moment.
Would very much appreciate your help.
Jack

the images are also included in the zip file as png-files, so if anyone want to use them to make a manila (or TouchFlo or TF3D) 2.0 version, be my guest
to Jack: maybe one day the slider part of HDWall will work.
if you find out that it does, please share that with us in this thread.

I will definitely share the info.
Did not know, that it does not work for others as well

unfortunately HTC changed the *_manila files with the different manila versions.
I think that's why it is so difficult to make a skinning application like HDwal.

update (new version)
Hi There,
When I changed to a new rom I found out that version 1 of my theme didn't work. The images had to be rearranged in to a new size.
So I did that and made some other changes too.
In version 2 a slider bar is included to get a more OSX stylish look.
Some of the newer HTC icons were already with reflection and I must say that I like some of them better than the icons I put into V1.
The newer manila 2.5 has an added feature, namely the date on the calendar Tab icon. So I kept more of the original icons in this new version.
The guitar is also a bit bigger.
Tip: rearrange the tab order to have the music tab in view on your home tab for easy (direct) access. [home; messages; mail; calendar; music]
In post #1 are a zip file and a cab available.
(the zip includes the png-files)
I hope you like it and use it

Anyway to get this for Manila 2.1?

Sorry, no.
I don't know which manila files to use. I've gone from manila 1.3 directly to 2.5.

[REQ] Customized slider icons for Cloudy's rom

Greetings,
I have a litle request from u guys.. i Kept trying to change my slider icon bar in cloudy's rom for so long, but they didnt change ... anyway, i found out am using slider icons for old manila on new manila.

from here http://www.ppcmods.com/sliders.html you can download ready Slider Icons set for Manila 2.5 just download the one you like and install

Ty.. it works like charm.. finally i can customize my slider
is there any guide about making those manila 2.5 sliders on my own?

You dont need a GUIDE once you have a Slider CAB you can open it with WinCE CAB Manager and extract the files, then with CFC GUI you can see them and export to PNG Files in your Desktop PC then you can see how they look like.. you can create your own icons they need t be exactly the same size etc like the default one and you can replace them with the CFC GUI after this you need to make them in one single cab again with WinCE and you are ready for all this things you need only 2 Programs and to find out by yourself..
Download WinCE CAB Manager and CFC GUI and you are ready to go.
P.S this is how i found how to make whole Themes by myself without a Guide and without anyone to explain me what i need so its not so hard and now i tell you what tools you need all others is in your hands. You can create sliders, clock, and many other things with this programs whole themes and mods etc.
And for future don`t write things like "slider icons for Cloudy's rom" because not all peoples know Cloudy ROM there have Touch FLO 3D. Sense 2.1 and Sense 2.5 so in this case that you are with 2.5 Sense you need to write only this because all the themes icons cabs etc who are made for 2.5 Sense will work in all the ROM`s with this version of Manila...

well, i followed the steps ... but i guess something is wrong with my icons .. check the difference
The icon from the .cab ... 256 x 256 res
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My icon ... 256 x 256 res
However as a manila file .. the icon in the cab looks like >>
while mine looks like >>
Somehow ... while the icon from the .cab is shown in the top left corner and the rest is white .. its shown correctly on the device ( right size and no white background) .. while my icons are too big + they have a white background
Oh and in the cfc gui .. its written that the icons from the .cab are 8bpp,alpha formated while mine are 4bpp ( without that alpha thingy)
am really confused... any tips?

Of Course the files need to be PNG files and this white area is not white is TRANSPERENT so if you want to make this monitor icon the Monitor must to be smaler and to be in the same position exactly where is the original icon and the whole png to be again 256x256
Remember the most importmantly is the Image to be on the same place not only in the top left corner but exactly on the same place because if is a litle bit on left on the device will look more left or right so need to be on the exact place, see the example its ugly because i make it fast just to show you what i mean.
I make fast example the file need to look like this, when you download the file and open with any image editor you will see that this is not WHITE its fully Transperent
ALL image files in the Manila are like this they are not just Images they are PNGs with transperant and etc later when you try to do something other like clocks slider and other visual things you will see its everywhere the same, so once you understand about this you will be able to make everything

Hey Colossus,
Take note, Wireless icons file is named Wireless.rar.zip, for it to be opened it needs to be renamed to Wireless.rar
I copied all Icons into \windows folder, restarted the device. The New icons appear in START menus but not in manilla/Sense/CHT. What's wrong?
For those running CHT 1.8, should all files in Wireless.RAR be copied into \Windows folder, or everything BUT the *.exe files?
Oh, congrats on becoming an official Theme Maker

Thanks Roadrunner
The zip extention was added cose xda permits only zip files not rar but winzip will open the file anyway.
Manila (sense) keeps a cashed version of the icons that use.
When you change icons you must clear that cashe.
Use this litle util to do that. Just run it and softreset when it asks.
The other app its a general clear temp utility
If you have any custom apps you want them in the theme just post the icons here and i will convert them for you to colossus gtx
The wirelles its only for the cht 1.71 user to have the functionallity of the 1.85 (you have that allready).

Yeah, but I love those Icons. Can they somehow replace the ones used in CHT 1.8x?
By the way, the latest ENERGY GTX (see my signature) is a flyer, and a keeper. Apart from issues I'm having with iExplorer all is fine...

Yes ... the format for names that cht use are:
Switch icons:
* CHT_switch_bluetooth.png
* CHT_switch_wifi.png
* CHT_switch_vibrate.png
* CHT_switch_BLABLABLA
search in \windows folder find the one that you want to change keep a copy of the original and after you rename my icons to the ones that cookie use (For example for wifi my icon has to be renamed to "CHT_switch_wifi.png")
then copy them to \windows

Thanks, fits nicely with the rest of the theme

mmmm unable to have your icon on the program you provided.
I've copied all the png images under windows directory.
Added the program using the "Add to start menu" function.
But it still show the .exe icons and not the png images.
Also deleted the cache, with no luck.
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance
EDIT : sorry I think I have to use some icon changer program to do this
