Hello there. I know that WM 6.1 is pretty much dead, but i'm still using it cause 6.5 isn't as fast as 6.1 on Blackstone. I've searched a couple of forums for a decent taskbar, couldn't find something to suit my taste, but instead i found an interesting taskbar for WM 6.5 which fits and works almost perfect, except for the "x" and "ok" buttons which show as a white square, due to the difference between the WM 6.1 and the WM 6.5 OS. If anyone who's a savvy in taskbars could help me and point me in the right direction to edit those 2 files and settings in the cab file in order to replace them with the default ones or any other files, i'd appreciate it. Below i attached 2 screenshots of the taskbar to see what i'm talking about. Thanks
P.S. Modified it. No further assistance needed.

Hello all. I am new to this site and I am loving the work I have seen so far. I have a shadow and I am a user at allshadow but my wife has a wing and we have been playing with it for a while. I just uploaded the new biggy Open Touch WM 6.1 with touchflo rom and we are both liking it but I am having trouble with it. Everything seems to work except the touchflo itself. I can go into the TF settings and click the buttons to show the cube but I dont see anything to actually activate it. If anyone can help us we would appreciate it. Everything that I have read says there should be a softkey for touchflo but I dont see it. I dont know if I have to download a different version but this one has a load of programs with it and it said toughflo. Thanks anyone!
Can Anyone help me with this please?

I think were fighting the same battle. Funny how wm 6.1 came from a motorola q8.
thanks i'll try them out and tell u if it was successful
nope not working just a background and nothing else
Im also looking for this. If anyone has an idea for an working one please leat me know.
sliding panels theme-on other than kavana?
is it possible to get the theme installed on a 1.33 version? im not sure if this is his own theme and hasnt been released to the public.
i tried the kavana version and it just seems that the 1.33 works smoother (...please dont bash me, its just personal preference) and uses less battery life, so i flashed back but i really miss the theme and a few of the other options. so my next question, am i just better off cooking my own rom or is it too complicated for "slightly above average" people like me?
can anyone point me in the right direction please?
thanks in advance
The "CHome" homescreen plugin is developed by Microsoft and is part of the WM 6.1 OS. Anyway... there's ways of getting it to work on other ROMs or devices. Here's a cab I have that's supposed to make that happen. Try installing it on your device, it should work.
thanks ill give it a try
fast response much appreciated!
tried a version of chome that i found but it didnt work either...i installed the chome_2 first and got a blank background, installed a version of chome and got the same thing but only showed a partial of the blank background, like the right and top are chopped off with a different shade of green than the background, (sorry best i can describe it) i uninstalled both and reinstalled chome first then chome_2, still the same results. i guess im stuck with the brightpoint 1.33 kavana version for now. thanks for the help
sorry for the post, the kavana version changed since the last time i used it. im cool with it now, no need for this post anymore, mods please bump. thanks
Work it with WM 6.0? Thanks.

Think this has already been answered and it's not available without 6.1.
Please feel free to correct me if wrong?
Hi all please be gentle as I'm new. And yes this may be the wrong place for this question.
I have seen videos and reviews about the new 6.5 but none of them show what the weather tab will look like as I love the look of the home screen with the big flip clock and tabs on the 6.1 but they look rather plain in just text style I have seen on the 6.5reviews on youtube.
Is it possible to have the advantages of 6.5 but with the old look of 6.1? Are there any photos anywhere? I have tried to do some searches here but have not found what I'm looking for.
Just to add, I don't have one yet but looking into getting one and have read the issues with 6.1 but love the look of the 6.1 (origional Touch HD) So it looks to me that 6.5 is better but lost the look.
Please help
Thanks.

I am running WM6.5 and it is the same as 6.1 (at least from a TF3D perspective). All the tabs are the same as with 6.1. There are different versions of Manila (ie TF3D) viz 2.0, 2.1 and 2.5 which run on both 6.1 and 6.5 (although I have not seen Manila 2.5 on a 6.1 ROM yet).
Perhaps in the youtube video they were showing the Titanium interface, but you have the option of either running Titanium or the more familiar TF3D.
So yes, if you go to a 6.5 ROM you can have all of the benefits of a 6.5 ROM with the familiarity of a 6.1 ROM. Try it, you'll love it.
Thanks very much for the quick reply and clarifying this for me.
Now I just have to find a unlocked new handset for under £400.

You do not need to worry about getting an unlocked one, there are tools here to unlock the phone so that you can flash to any ROM. Read the stickies on the ROM development forum.
Hi folks
I've been using WM devices for some years now but I've never gotten into the upgrading side of the operating system. I recently got a TP2 on T-mobile and I'm wanting to jazz it up a lil with fresher icons etc. Can anyone reccomend any good upgrades/updates that are easy to install?
Many thanks!!
Do a search on this TP2 forum and you'll find a lot of upgrades for the icons
Go to the Rhodium apps, themes, software, etc sub forum & search. lots of stuff there. also the PPCGeeks forum has a lot of themese
look up HDwall. you can use it to make background cab files and slider cab files. the .cab files just make it easy to install. copy to device and run.

Flash HardSPL and load NRGZ28's Genesis WinMo 6.5 rom. It is fantastic. You won't regret it.
Plus, WinMo 6.5 is MUCH more finger friendly.
Hello,
I just tried Windows Mobile 6.5, and although I personally found it too sluggish for my Artemis, I *loved* the larger buttons, it's a lot more fingerfriendly.
Now I'm back at 6.1 (Yue to be precise) and I was wondering if there's some program or something to enlarge the bottom buttons?
It would make me a happy man.
I've searched the Artemis forums and especially the brilliant "Customize your rom - cab-collection"-thread, but wasn't able to find anything (apart from the "larger start menu").
Does anyone have an interesting suggestion where to look?
I dont think it was possible ... I have used to wm6.5 of Shady Kitchen (original microsoft version - czech) and i was satisfied so much.
