P3600 homepage change - P3600 Software Upgrading

Hi to everybody! Can anyone help me to change white characters on dark background to black ones on white/clear background? I used some programmes able to change anything except the homepage appearance. Thank you for your help!

Ah, I'd like to change characters due to the very poor readability of homepage in sunlight even in the shadow. Thanx

¿?

It depends on the "theme" you have. some are white on dark, some the contrary.
Get some and try. (lots of them everywhere) Then you can find on the forum some tools to design your own homepage.
There is no straight solution (I mean, an "appearance" page as in Windows XP)
Hope it helps.

Thank you for your help. Actually there's plenty of themes on the web. I also found "Phone themes studio", a freeware programmme that helps to build up such themes, but the files are saved in a size not recognized by P3600. Where on this forum can I find the tool to build the new homepage? Thanks again, ciao

Make a bit of research in the forum, and try the wiki. I have not made them myself, (too time consuming), and there are so many themes already working, that you will surely find one that suits your needs, or many one to change daily!

move phoneAlarm to bottom screen - Hima

Help.. attached is my current Today screen..
i want to keep my Hima as content free as i can so i only installed SPB pocket plus 4, changed today theme with a full black one, and installed PhoneAlarm.. that's what i have right now.. I want to move the PhoneAlarm to the bottom most part of the screen where i also took out the screen rotate/power and wireless comm manager icons via reg hack.
can anyone please help? i tried using WAD but it's too big for me.. anyway i can just tweak the PhoneAlarm itself?
any ideas will be greatly appreciated... thanks in advance!
U have to edit ur Registery Settings For Ur today screen (i.e. their order numbers)..i think
There is a very good explanation on the PhoneAlarm website on how to edit your skin. That should do the trick.
There's also some old tiny today plugin (can't remember it's name, sorry) that adds just empty space between other today plugins.
success
AFAIR it's called "Spacer".

thanks for the replies! im in the office ryt now and i can't install spacer yet.. BUT.. if it's a plug-in, then it would do the same as adding a new plug-in to move it.. then a white scrollbar will come up on the right... RIGHT? (hope im wrong...) i'd try it.. anybody else got ideas? how about that registry mod thing.. any clue what key values i need to modify ?
thanks!

downloaded it not from scarybear site but on
http://www.pocketmax.net/index.html
set it on 33pixels...
perfect!!! thanks everyone!!!
I'm sorry. I didn't know it was on Pocketmax, else I would have given you the link.
I advice everyone to always check the original writer's website for all your software, both for PC and PDA.
In general they give better support, more information, they like to be in touch with their users, comments and suggestions can improve a product in many ways. Most offer free beta's for serious testers, some offer free full products for beta testers and I've seen more than once that writers released their older products to the public domain while they're still on sale on the shopping cart sites.
And of course it's safer...
In most cases you can find a link to the writer's site in the About screen, the Help or a Readme. Or you can Google (sorry Google, I continue to use it as a verb)

Help theming...

To all you Kaiser owner out there.
First of all, this is my first post.
But here it is, I'm trying to create a theme for my Kaiser (WM6.1), but I can't get it the way I want it. Because I don't know if it's possible.
I made a template with photoshop, to see if you guys out there can help me make it, or even tell me if it's possible.
It's kinda the UI of mac... and the top bar where clock wifi sound etc is...I want those 'icons' to be blue...
I;ve tried a lot of programs out there...
themegen etc...and I did search the forums..
thanks for any input...

Hi, not sure if that's possible or not since the top icons reside on ROM. If you look for them you will find the icons on the windows directory on the Pocket PC. Maybe you can edit them to something else and cook a new rom with those edited icons. But I doubt they will show in blue color since they need to be monochromatic.
Why don't you just use WisBar Advance Desktop since there are already tons of different themes including OSX ones.
Cheers!

thanks for your reply,
Yes I know it's kindda impossible, and there reason why I don't use wisbar, is because I want a free software.
but there isn't another choice

Quick question...

Am I imagining it or should the screen flip over when I move the diamond to horizontal when browsing on Opera? If it should be, how do I make mine do it?
it should do it automatically
Edit:
Try this ..enter your browser, go to settings, then display and automatic full screen should be marked
Ok, well than I have a problem because it's not. Help!

Full screen was marked. Thanks though...
Ok, I just realised that my battery was very low. Not only was the screen refusing to go horizontal, when it did go eventually go horizontal, the key-pad came up and showed me missed calls!?? Does the diamond go a bit crazy when battery is low? lol!

Buddy:
A word of advice:
Read all the post and threads before you start your own topics.
Dont be lllaaazzzyyyyy, we were all once new to the Diamond.
All the questions you asked since you have become a memeber have been asked and mostly resolved.
Make everyone a favor and explore all the knowledge that has been gathered for Diamond users.
It all there man!
Luck!
Thanks for the post, but I searched for this issue and couldn't find anything.
As you're such a senior member, some help and perhaps at least pointing me in the right direction on this forum would be greatly appreciated.

What usually helps in this situation is do the following:
-Quick fix for the Opera is here: Latestzz version of Opera which I believe is the one on Duttythroy.net
-Uninstall current Opera version and reinstall with 1938.
If that does not work try this:
-Flash ROM. You choose your poison. All ROMS offered are good, it all depends on your taste.
-And then reinstall new Opera version (if ROM does not have it)
Luck!
And remember to search and read!
Thanks for the tips. I should have mentioned that I have Swift v6.0 ROM...
Are you saying that the low battery and crazy web page viewing is common then? Or that the screen not going horizontal is common?

Some bugs on the switchng to horizontal and then starting phone app are common. I believe they dont have anything to do with batts.
You will stumble across multiple bugs, the Jewel is one spoiled brat. But we all love him anyways
(I guess its the price to pay for such an "Open Source" based on liberty device)
Luck!
Does the latest Opera on dutty's webage fix this bug?
Also - and I have searched for this relentlessly - I don't understand how to install cab files, can you tell me where they need to go on the phone before I try to execute the file...

D/l from wherever.....store on PC Desktop
Connect Diamond to PC Activesnych.......
Copy d/led CAB on Desktop to Internal Storage on you Diamond using file explorer on you PC
Using file explorer on your diamond go to Internal Storage.....
Click on Cab file.
It will start installing and ask where do you want to install....choose where internal storage is best.
Then hey presto its there.
Go to Programs and icon should be there click and enjoy

A few questions about themes and such...

I have searched and searched for a way to change the color on the my home page from black as best as I can tell please tell me if I'm wrong but I need to install a theme that has a different color text in order to do this.. Is this correct????
Now a few questions on the new themes... If I install a new theme on my phone am I stuck using the background that comes with the theme or can you change the background to whatever you like?
If you can change the background does anyone have a link to a simple theme that has white writing, Maybe the Buttons I saw one that was almost like the original just a little more 3 dimensional. I don't want anything to different just keeping it simple..
Now when you are talking about installing themes.. I have read many terms I do not understand and so I think if I understood them I might be better equipped to actually tackle installing a theme...
What does ROM stand for?
What is a .cad file?
Do you need anything special to install a cad file or does it do it on it's own?
This program I've read people say you have to use to install themes.. Total Commander. Do you install that on your computer or your phone?
I'm a total newbie to this and trying to sort through little bits and pieces everywhere is really overwhelming me.. I really want to get a grip on this phone..

Check out the link below. Also there is a thread in the Raphael/Rapheael forum for q&a like this.
Okay, first of it's a CAB file, in windows(desktop computer) it will be labeled as a cabinet file. copy it to your device, in any folder, open file explorer, and double click the cab file. it installs automatically.
And a ROM? you answer is HERE
Read it and read it closely. Also the wiki is a good place to read about the problems and solutions that can arise from flashing a new ROM.
Both those questions, shouldn't even be asked on the forum.
read here about font colors in TF3D
and remember always to search, i just don't feel like you had done enough. Hope these help you, and remember to read, read, read, read, search, read, search, read, then ask. Keeps the forum clean, and easier for the next person to find what they are looking for.

Hi everyone, is it posible to change the background colour for the start page? I have seen a few people saying that its posible but does anyone know how?
Many thanks for any help.

Version 1.2 in james1123's posted link works for a lot of edits, but not all yet, it does ok for this.
Be warned, back up your phone before attempting this!
I used advanced config and chose a nice colour and followed the steps above with the new hex number.
For some reason text and background were the same colour black and I could not find where to set the screen back to dark!
Lucky I had a backup.
Edit; next time I used the orange colour, very nice
