So I was trying to mess around with the look of WM6 on my Wing but I have not had much luck. How do I change up the colors of my interface without having to download someone elses ROM and flashing my phone? I alright with they way everything is set up but I'd like to customize icons and change the blue theme. Where do I start? Is there a certain directory that I should edit images from?
Just download themes for WM. they are .tsk files. To change your theme direct to Start->Settings->Today. If you want something a little more customized than that check out something like WisBar and WisBar Desktop or similar program.
I know I can download other ppls theme but how do I start making my own?

Hello everybody, I just joined the site recently and absolutely love it.
But I have a question... I just updated my software on my Kaiser to Windows Mobile 6.1, and my question is... How do I get these zip folders to be accessible so I can use the new features?
I'm not too sure if I'm supposed to extract the files some place or place the zip files in a certain folder. If u guys can help me, I'd gladly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

By Zip Folders? You mean CAB Files?
Just google for Installing CAB Files

No, actually I mean zip folders, lol. I know how to install the cab files.
Which Zip folders are you referring to? Are you trying to access zip folders on your phone?

These zip files. and i can access them, Im just not sure how to use them as an actual program or layout or whateva
Those are Skins for PocketCM, you have to install that and unzip the file into the themes location in PocketCM.
Installing themes varies depending on what they are for. Have a look on the PocketCM website for more information.
I suggest reading the thread's and posting in there if you have any problems, because as I said before, each theme is different. (Probably why I don't use them that often )

I really only want the application for the new SMS chat feature thing, lol. Do u know how to get that running?

If you have WM6.1 it should be working.
You can check the Wm version in Start>Settings>System>About.
If not, there is a tweak to enable / disable it. Download and install KaiserTweak or Schap's advanced Config. And have a look for the option.

Well, I have the HTC touch pro, and I'm bored of this theme. I use the Manilla Customizer, but that has gotten old as well. So this just gives me the final question, how do you install themes? I have downloaded a few, I just don't know how to use them.
Thanks.

Try this thread.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749
Im not sure if you have the theme files and you wanna change them.. but if thats the case this app should help you.
Also, in future, before you ask a question, see if you can find something in the forum that might have already answered your question. I just searched for Change Theme in the Forum search and this link was the first hit..

Unfortunately, that program doesn't work. I have tried searching, but this stuff is complicated.
To go a little off topic, people say to extract some files in the windows directory of my phone. Do you know what exact directory that is? Sorry, if it sounds "noobish".
Thanks.

I'd like it to be proof-read by somebody else. Not meaning to be disparaging to your possible skill, but a guide written with the same rampant disregard of English shown here is likely to lead to confusion. Guides and tutorials should be written mindful of the fact that exactness and clarity is required.
I would really like to know how to sign a ROM... mainly because I'd like to be able to modify existing ROMs with different apps and ringtones prior to flashing, which would be MUCH easier than having to do everything through Terminal after flashing.
It would help if there was a list of hero apps that would work when creating a normal G1 rom (not hero).

I'd like a section dealing with modifying-upgrading the kernel, ramdisk, and really anything dealing with the boot and recovery images (since I've already learned most of the workings of the system partition)

Hey man i actually was about to jump into the same thing for this since eugene left.
I really don't know much but a few tutorials that i bookmarked and kinda got the basics.
I do know that one of the guys used an old blueberry theme from his old Hero3g Uni ROM(dont know if you were following him since then) but it did change the wood theme to blueberry without touching the icons which i think would be a good "Blank Theme" to start off with.
I am going to look for the file now.
Blinker1683, Most of the G1 instructions will work just fine with the Sapphire aswell, any specific part you need help with to get started?
Yes how can i get the empty theme to edit, do i use the files that are inside the specific ROM that i want to edit, or is there a stock theme i can download that would work .
Thanks for replying and i need the information please
i am ready to get started as soon as possible
templates
I believe you are speaking of getting a template based off a specific rom to edit the pngs and such. You can just use the dream tutorials on creating a theme, with the actual update.zip you used to flash the rom. All of the files necessessary are included in the update.zip. I believe you can also cut out all the crap u dont need, but im not sure the exact/safe process to do so.
blinker, yes you can use files inside a specific rom file or if you are making it for the cyanogenmod roms then i believe in his posts he also includes a template for themers.
Hey guys, does anyone have the default HTC black theme, or can you tell me how to get it?
I installed a theme I didnt like, and was unable to install it, and with some application I installed I was able to remove it.
It wasn't completely removed because when I make phone calls the number pad is themed. It pisses me off because I am unable to see the name and number that is phoning me.
I have a bunch of manilla files in my windows directory, do I delete those? Do I just take the default HTC black theme in .cab form and install it? (If so can you link the cab?)
Edit: I'm on a touch pro btw, RAPH800
There are a bunch of threads out there with the HTC Black tsk file. Please search before posting.
To restore, you can try this: In Total Commander, select Hide ROM files. Then delete all manila files you find.
But this might not work completely - then your only choice is a hard reset.
I search everywhere in xda forums but I couldnt find...
If it's here, it is playing hide-and-seek very well...
Do you mean this file?
This file is WVGA format.
