These are the files that are in the zip file:
bluetooth_off.ico
bluetooth_on.ico
devicelock.ico
display_off.ico
Files that are missing are:
WiFi_off.ico
WiFi_on.ico
Mine are called:
wlan_on
wlan_off
...but you're right, I forgot to include them in the original zip... so here they are!
These are nice. I didn't have a reason to upgrade to Battery Status 1.04 until you put out these icons...I see what i've been missing...Thanks!!

What do you think about this? There are MANY elements that can be changed in SMS/mail forms, since they are html - based ones...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Note, that the vertical scroll bar is hidden, until it is needed
The bg images can be independently changed for write and read of messages...
Edit:
There is a test bg included as an attachment - only the background is changed in SMS window. You can replace the default image, it is \windows\sms_bg.gif
You can modify the fonts, etc by editing \windows\read_style2.css and \windows\compose_style2.css
\Windows\compose_sms is the file....
Really?
read_sms.html also. As well as compose_style.css and read_style.css
yea XD
how to get rid of scrollbars?
Remove all the
near to the end of the file
The one thing that I can't yet figure is object.richedit font size/background :/ (SMS text input field)
LMFAO I didn't notice that!

Hi "_TB_TB_", how can get background images in SMS/mail forms like your picture, Please? Thanks
Simple HTML:
Just create an image similar in size to this:
(240x265)
Modify the < body > tag to make it < body background="file://pathtoimage" bgproperies="fixed"> and voila
read_sms.htm
HI _TB_TB_
I just copy the image you post then i edit the read_sms.htm file under windows and added the following under the body:
<body background="file://windows/sms.gif" bgproperies="fixed">

Hi baniaczek

_TB_TB_TB any help will be greeatly appreciated.. Thank you so mcuh.
Hi
I have tried this,
Copied the file to PC editted them and when i copied them back I get the 'Access is denied' Error message,
I think those files a protected & Hidden system files when on PC, any way of getting around this?
Yes, yes - bgproperties, not bgproperies
You should REPLACE the < body > tag with < body background="file://\image.gif" bgproperties="fixed" >
Use Total Commander ON your PPC to change attributes (un-check read-only)
i have tried that, but the attribute is re-ticked when the properties are shown again.
Need Your Help
Hi _TB_TB_, can you tell me what software for edit read_sms file? I use internet explorer and Mozilla Firefox to open it but I can't edit the content. Or maybe you can send me UR read_sms and compose_sms files that U have edit. Thanks for ur kindness
1. Extract all files in the packed attachment below to your SD Card,
2. Then use Windows Explore or Resco Explore copy them to Windows directory on your device.
3. There will be some notifications that "...blablabla... might damage your windows" Pass over it, tap on OverWrite.
4. Return to your SMS Inbox, you'll see......
This trick is a nice addition to all those WisBar skins, etc
Use Notepad to edit HTML files
hm, did U notice, that after removing the scrollbars, some text on the right side is cut?
There is? I did not notice that yet. Maybe it would be enough to edit the richedit a little... I'll give it a try, but some screenshots with cut text would be useful

I've Dutty's Hybrid V2 Rom... I love it...

Little did I know, I hate them... now that I uninstall them, I've lost all the original icon on Dutty's Hybrid v2
Can anyone kind enough to make me a copy of their Start Menu?
it's just a bunch of shortcuts (including the icon file in each folder), no personal info, so don't worry.
"\Windows\Start Menu\" Please zip/Rar me the folder "Programs"
Thanks a million.... I've the copy of shellres.dll so no worry there.
New flash

Can you zip me a copy of your start menu "Program"?
Try deleting or renaming the icon.lnk file in each folder. As the original files are in the rom it should revert back to normal.
Use totalcmd to go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games and rname the icon.lnk file to iconxxx.xxx reset and hopefully that folder should be back to the original Dutty's Rom default.

That's the problem... I have all the shortcuts, but I'm missing the icon file... The shortcuts are messy, but I can rearrange them without problem
I'm giving this a go straight from Opera on my phone, so I hope it works for you. There should be a .zip file attached with the folder structure and icons in place but everything else removed.

If noone will send you the start menu you can always make a backup with spb backup or sprite and hardreset and copy your start menu/restore from there...
here are 4 nice Skins for your HTC Touch Action screen!
No installation required.
You have only to...
How to install:
1) unzip the ".zip" file you want to use:
-set black and orange.zip
-set cool white.zip
-set white and black.zip
-set black and red.zip
-original set.zip
on a folder on your computer.
NB: check on your device, "\Windows" folder,
If you have, for example, "AS_01_focus.brn" instead of "Blue_AS_01_focus.brn"
just delete the "Blue_" from all the downloaded files, inside the extracted folder
on your computer!
2) copy all files extraced into your device, in the "\windows" directory
replacing the original image sets.
3) done!
no restart required.
Just use and see if you like it.
Note:
If you dont like, you can put the original set back
using the "original set.zip" file, with the same procedure
or "backup the files from your device into a folder on your computer"!
(the files you have to backup have the same name of the ones in the set ".zip" file)

Which version of the Action Screen are you using? The reason I ask is because the files on my phone don't have the "Blue_" extension in front of them. Example, AS_01_focus.brn, etc.
Anyone having trouble with this, check your Windows folder. If you have the AS files then just delete the Blue_ from the downloaded files and it should work.
FYI, I'm using HTC Action Screen v1.0.

Okay, I really wanted to get the WinPhone7 lockscreen for Android, but no one has made an app for that yet...so I got experimental with Minimal Text Widget + Desktop VisualizeR. Please note that this is not an exact look-alike and does not behave like WP7's lockscreen. This does not bounce.

Requirements:
-WidgetLocker - $1.99 USD - Market
-Minimalist Text App - Free - Market
-APKManager - Free - Link
-Root Explorer - $3.93 USD - Market
-Custom iPhone Slider/Background (Made by me) - Free - Download Attachment Below
Let's get started.
---
Step 1. Open up Root Explorer. Navigate to data/app and find "com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk". Do a long press and copy to your SD card.
2. Transfer WidgetLocker to your computer. Place WL's APK anywhere you desire. Do not close this window.
3. Open up APKManager RAR and extract all of the files to a folder. Anywhere you desire.
4. Open up the APKManager folder you just made. Open up "place-apk-here-for-modding". Back to WL's APK location, drag WidgetLocker's APK to "place-apk-here-for-modding" inside of the APKManager folder.
5. Back in the root of APKManager folder, double-click "Script".
6. Choose option #22 (Set current project) by typing "22", and then #1, then #1 (Extract APK) again. Do not close this window.
7. In APKManager's root folder, open up "projects". Navigate to com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk/res/drawable-hdpi. It does not matter what screen your are, just open it.
8. Find "slider_iphone" and "slider_iphone_background". Delete those two files and replace them with the modded ones.
9. Open up Script again. Choose option #3 (ZIP APK), and then select Regular ZIP. Once that is done ZIPing up, choose option #4 (Sign APK).
10. In the folder "place-apk-here-for-modding", there should be a new APK called "signedcom.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk". Put that on your SD card. Install the new WidgetLocker on your phone.
---
Lockscreen Time!
1. Once installed, goto Tool Mode by launching WidgetLocker manually. Then navigate to Menu/Settings/Look & Feel/Slider & Layout. Choose iPhone Slider.
2. Now goto Menu/Add. Choose Minimalist Text, and then the 4x2 option. That seems to work best.
3. Uncheck Show Background. Then goto "Horizontal Block" and "Horizontal Text" and make them both "Left". Then goto Predefined Layout > Custom... Then make your layout like below.
[Hour (12h)] [Static text- ":"] [Minute (2 digits)]
[Day of week]
[Month text] [Static text " "] [Day]
P.S. The "Static text" for Layer 1 is just a colon and the one on Layer 2 is a space.
Now add a Static text in the very front for all of the rows. Now for each Static text, add 3 spaces.
---
4. Once you're done with the layout, press Back until your at the Main Menu. Goto Text Style and make all of them
Font family: Default
Bold: Uncheckd
Italic: Unchecked
Size: 45 dip
Case: Normal
Color: White (#ffffff)
(Leave the rest under Color unchanged.)
When you're done filling the first one out, just go back and do the second and third ones.
When you're with those, press OK. There you have it!
Question and comments go below. Rate, comment, and subscribe!
You don't actually need Root Explorer.
Just use the SDK to pull the .apk
^^ That too
Don't quite understand why this has a separate thread...just throw it in the widgetlocker mods thread.
Don't quite understand how this mimics WP7? Looks like a custom background, with a text widget and a WidgetLocker mod. You can't slide up the whole picture like on WP7.
