Is there a way to make the text smaller in outlook and text messages in wm6? Its looks gigantic to me after using WM6 professional on a mda for so long. Thanks for any information....
Sorry boss, I looked and looked and couldn't figure it out. In e-mail, you can open the message and select options and view and change that size, but not on message preview and not for sms.

Thanks man..Thats what I thought...I was using a smartphone first and then I went to a pocket pc and now back to a smatphone. I got do used to the small text...By the way, do you have any idea how many times I tried to drag my finger across my dash's screen to copy and paste something...too many...
maybe you can play around with these files under \Windows folder:
read_sms.0409.htm and read_style.0409.css
only read_style.0409.css is relevant, but even that is not.
affecting the font sizes only reduces the text when reading messages, not when previewing
attached is the edited file, every font size mentioning has been reduced by 1pt

Thanks...I will try it when I get home. So you are saying this will only reduce the "reading messages" font right? Not the previews? Thanks either way...
correct. I will keep researching tough. go trough all .css contents of /Win folder
I was just looking for a little advice on how to move some of the items on the sliding panels.
All I want to do is change the order of them, instead of having Missed Calls - Voicemail - Text Messages - Email, I would rather have it as Text Messages - Email - Missed Calls - Voicemail.
What would I need to edit this? What file? Where?
Do I need any specific software or can it be done with something like notepad2?
.G.
as far as i know you cant modifiy the order...atleast not yet. I could and proabably be wrong

that has nothing to do of what he wants
your right, my bad.
Sorry, but it's not possible to do that with the current knowledge we have of the panels. Maybe later... who knows...
What about getting it to have dark text, or dark graphics? I would really love to be able to do something with some lighter homescreen backgrounds Im working on.

yeah man, goto home screen > Color scheme > Text: black
I Havnt Tested Rickys V9 And Below(but In Version10 For Sure)
In Your Settings-homescreen-color, You Can Select Black Or White Text, I Doubt This Changed The Start Bar Color But I Didnt Pay Attention... (also, Play Around With The Settings And Everything Else On The Phone...i Found Different Clock Options And Im Extremely Happy With This Version!)
could this be added to chome
Im on Ricky's v.4 at the moment, I was wondering what the technical method was of adding the black text, so I could preload it into a color scheme, appropriate to a given default wallpaper, button color, etc.

Hey you, black text? see attachment
extract...you know where it goes
AH, I get it now. I had been meaning to flash when I convenienly frozed my phone. It adds the black (or, white) text to the last picked color scheme. Nice!
Okay, now how do I mod the panels to black, and the icons in the top left corner of each? any starting spot? I didnt find anything that looked like a good lead in the .cpl or the .home...
Thanks, gang.
for the order of items in the panel, this might be useful:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2068381
not sure if this is true for all but whenever I set the text on a theme to 000000 it comes out jagged so i would suggest using 222222 or 111111...dark enough and not jagged.
I'm tempted to make a new thread, but this so seems like the right place. I've got the text themes working. Very well. I now can make my home screen a dizzying mess!
I am sure there is a way to make the panels themselves dark. Is it in a .dll in \windows? I cannot get some of them to copy, like, all the onse I want to pick at. Not that I am sure that my skills with ResHack are up for it. Anyone else interested?
I've got your chomebar.zip, now i am trying to integrate it.
Anyone knows how to change the blue image that appears on top when you press the call button that says "smartphone" in Kavana's WM6.1 080408??? Or where to drop an image with the same name so I can replace it??? If so, what's the image name...
No Problem!

All you need is a pic you want to change this to. Rename it cprogback_land.png and drop it into your Windows folder. This will help you avoid messing with you registry. I have a sample one below that you can use. It has the numbers that correspond to the letters on a dial pad, so if you want to dial 1-800-BelowMe, you would know what numbers to hit from your screen's background. There are some threads that you can search for as well that are devoted to this discussion.
Dialing a number screen
Hey thanks man, I really appreciate your help, but that image is the call status background, I've already did that and it worked when I wanted to change it. The image I'm talking about appears when you're dialing a number, above the space where the numbers are written, when I had my Dash with WM6 there was a bar with the HTC logo on it, I want to put that image there. I'm attaching it so you can see it...
Will this do?
Bar on the top...
Well, I don't know if that's the background image in the dialing screen in your phone but thanks anyway. I'm attaching a picture that shows the screen I'm talking about, actually, is a picture of WM6 but instead of the bar at the top with the HTC logo, in Kavana's ROM appears a blue one with SMARTPHONE to the left, I'd like to change that bar for the one I posted before...

Hey man, thanks for the thread, they solve the issue of the small banner that says "smartphone" but put some numbers there, I just want the original banner from HTC with the logo on it instead of the "smartphone" banner...LOL!!!
Restore HTC banner on the dial screen
So, there's no way to restore the HTC banner on the dial screen instead of the one that says smartphone on the right? Somebody knows how to do that without using any .cab file? Just replacing it by renaming the picture for example...

I have done a .png that has the banner @ the top and transparent under or do you want bellow banner white? Then just place in the folder location Outer posted, back up original incase you want it back?
Will upload both in morning as using Dash.
Am i on right lines?
Here is a cab.
Check this out man. I got tired of reading the posts that try to help you, so instead I just made a cab for you to install. You will have to reboot your phone, but it will do exactly what you want.

Hey O, you did it, that's exactly what i was asking for, but i don't know why the banner looks kinda blurry, if you want i'll send you the original image so it will looks better, because i couldn't upload it here because it exceeds the size of the attachment.
Very good job man, thanks...
this one looks better
Here, use this one, I guess paint doesn't work as well as photoshop for converting jpg to gif, go figure.

One more question...
I just wanted to know why this rom's doesn't keep that simple details, it's what normal people like me loves about this phones...
Hey Outerdepth do you have that htc logo but in the blue version? Doesnt have to be a .cab file
Hello xda's, altough I'm not that technically savvy, I managed to learn how to create and manage icons to use in creating Chome Configs panels. Thanks to some xda members like Stylez and Nrg for their help so here it goes, and please correct me if I'm wrong.
Find your icon, I like using the icons from www.iconspedia.com, their icons are hardcore and of course hi-res.
The icon size is 22x22 with the highest dpi you can manage. To resize the icons I use Paint.Net(Stlyez ) this program is so ridiculously simple its not even funny, just play with it for a minute and you'll have your icon outputted in no time at all.
Icon Name (like the say, "don't know why it is, it just is" lol)
To have some common factor I use the name Chome in my icons that will be used in my panels ie.
chome_gps_sat_active.png
chome_gps_desat_inactive.png
or you can just name it - icon_sat_active.png and icon_desat_inactive.png but again notice the common factor
I don't know why its sat_active.png and desat_inactive.png but all the icons have to end in that format. Once you have your icons launch Chome Config and create your panel ie. Gps, once you see it go inside and create your 1st page, at the top it says:
Panel Icons:
here you'll follow the aforementioned format including the path of the icons like so:
\Windows\chome_gps_sat_active.png;\Windows\chome_gps_desat_inactive.pg
I highlighted the ";" so you don't forget, if you mess up the icon name or path, you'll end up seeing a red icon with an "x" in the middle, alerting you that something is wrong
The active icon is the icon that will show up when you select that panel and the inactive icon is the icon that will show up when you are not in that panel. If you put the both icons the same, then common sense dictates that the panel will use only one icon for inactive and active views, a lot folks like to have inactive and active icons just to show a little contrast but the choice is strictly yours, and that's why I think this is such a great piece of software, its so configurable yet simple to use once you get the basics. Below are a couple of my icons I used for my Gps panel that holds the following apps: Garmin, Google Maps, Live Search. The little color icon is my active and the bw is my inactive and the original, so you're able to compare the scaled down versions
Well I hope this helps someone and again if some of the more technical members can add some more knowledge, please comment
Good post man, looks like it took some time to do this... So lets keep this post up in order for people to see it and not start new threads asking questions on this topic...
Re: Setting Up Panels
To carry on the subject here is how to set up your CMYApplication the same goes for all panels.
Here is what it look like:
I have set up Opera Mobile
The Red arrow is the name of panel when condensed "not on the panel"
The Blue is the name shown on the top of panel when expanded
The Green is the location of the .exe "program want to open"
The Purple is the location of the picture .png "i place mine on storage card in a folder called PNG"
You may find that page 2 doesn't show as i think there is a bug i have had it on both ROMs hide the page and make a new one to get 20 pages for 20 programs
Hope this helps.
Excellent guys !

I did some searching around, but I couldn't find an answer. Has anyone indexed these panel icons, and the reference numbers for the default? I'm trying to find a panel icon for the myfaves in black and white, so that I can add it to my quick dialer panel. Any thoughts?

Nice work I somehow managed to not comment a long while back. I figured some of this out thru trial and error but some of the tutorial actually helps me tinker even more if I want too. It just sucks that one must redo all of it again with a simple flash...

There must be more we can do through walk through edit.cpr? I got a how to change the panel with PE which i could upload but maybe we need a thread deicated to it all?
Blackjack2 you could change the title to something else like Video & Picture tutorials?
Just a thought...
I feel dumb but is there any docs on how to use Chome I cannot seem to figure it out and I don't want to mess anything up.
Thanks!
You're looking at one buddy, just ask and we'll tell you.
This was very helpful, as I was sort of lost. I had the right idea, but some things weren't totally right until the picture tutorial that stylez put together. Thanks so much.
Great job to both of you.
I added a link to this thread in the original CHome Configurator thread.
Opera on panel
Hello,
Ive been trying to add favorites from opera to a panel, is there a tutorial somewhere how to do this ?
I actually have not been able to add Opera mini to a panel but I think this is how I installed Opera mini..I went to mini.opera.com and installed it but to access the application I have to go to start/java/launch opera.. I can find opera in the application list if I use the template for apps in ChromeConfig and it does add it to a panel it just doesnt work lol
So if anyone knows how to get either of those to work would be awesome.
Thanks in advance.
Hey guys,
Thanks a lot for your tutorials but I am still not able to get my icons to show up. The icons on the top bar(_sat_active.png and _desat_inactive.png) show up just fine but it is the individual icons that dont show. This is the case for both my applications as well as my contacts. Any suggestions?
Hello.
Is it possible to remove selected text from the calendar title.
Example, say the word "SPRING" appears on many of my titles but I want that word removed if so, is that possible?
And what if I want to remove one word and then also switch another one?
Example, change. .. SPRING: GIANTS AT PADRES
into... GIANTS @ PADRES
So "Spring:" is removed and "AT" is switched to "@"
I want to do even more than this, but I'm hoping I'd some one could show me how to do this, If it's even possible, then I could expand it from there.
Thanks.

With the native options in Zooper this is not possible. You'll have to process your calendar events through Tasker for this kind of string reformatting.
