Greetings!
If someone is interested in having a HTC visual touch here are the files. Would be great if we can achive HTC TouchFlo effects soon
@eloger it will be pretty good if you give the screen shot. I used already HTC Kaizer Home plugin, it is very cool mate
thnx for the collection...

I found it here is some threads:
*Attached the actual Touch wait cursor
*Touch dialer (The one we used in the Ather ROM) (I think its also used on the touch!)
Enjoy!!!
Vibrating Phonepad
Guyz this was included in my Winodws Mobile 6 Rom..now im sharing it with u
Download the Attached CAB file to make ur PhonePAD vibrate when a number is inserted
This is the appearance HTC Home Plugin
I like most of the HTC plugin, but not the HUGE clock. Is there still no solution to shrink it down to make room for some more buttons or today items?
by the way, eloger, there are lots of solutions around to get more touchflo- and/or iPhone-like experiences, like:

There are more that I'm either not aware of or that I can not find at the moment, so please, if you know of similar programs, tell us in this thread.
There is free software namely HTC Home Cuztomizer, may be it can help to customize all appearance in HTC Home plugin. To change the style of clock is absolutely possible but I like big clock, so I don't try to make it into small size

Last time I looked into it, it was only possible to change the font, not the size of the clock
i ll check the registery..maybe it can be resized by it

HTC Home Cuztomizer
Hello,
since battery life of the S730 is not very long, i would like to see a more detailed battery information, that is available by just pressing one button.
I searched the internet for some application or tweak that does the trick, but no success.
I was thinking about a replacement for the normal battery icon that shows the status in percentage, also when recharging.
Another idea is to add the battery status in percentage in the information screen that you see when you unlock the keypad of the S730.
Does anybody know of an application or tweak for this?
Greetz,
Rob
Just install SmartMonitor plugin and a cool homescreen that uses it (here are a few : Cool Homescreens for S730)
I had to use SmartMonitor 0.9.5.1, because the latest (0.9.6.0) was giving me some input lag
I recommend bLifePlugin. Its a plugin for homescreen that displays battery %, battery life (number of hours until the batteries run out), and few other statistics. Its free and small.
I just use start>8(settings)>9(Power management). quick and easy enough.
Thanks guys, I'll check those apps and see what i'm going to use!
gr. Rob
I've been using SmartMonitor with a modified HTC Home screen - the attached homescreen puts the battery % below the bar icon, with the free RAM next to it. (I've also tweaked the calendar plugin and added Profile and MRU details)

Hi Madferret,
sounds great! I see there is a xml file in the zip. What do I have to do with that, to get it working?
gr. Rob
I already found out where to put the xml file, but it doesn't show battery status. I guess that is because I don't have smartmonitor. Could anyone post the cab file for smartmonitor?
gr. Rob
Et voilà
Regards
Thanks a lot! It works.
All this new functionality asks for a lot of tweaking!
I already tried to modify madferret's xml file to get rid of the 'profile' section of his home screen, but the s730 doesn't recognise the new xml file. I named it Rob.01.xml.
How do I get it to work?
Use crimson editor to edit your .xml file
http://www.crimsoneditor.com/
Regards
Still doesn't work. I opened the file from madferret with crimsoneditor and just modified the author and title and did save as "Rob.02.xml".
Then copied to \application data\home and tried to select it in the settings for the home screen. But it was nowhere to be found!
Anyone knows why?
Please help! Rob
Try this
Regards
I don't know what happened, but the things I did this afternoon and didn't work, do work now.
I guess it has to do with the computer at work.
I'm going to tweak the home screen I have now and I'm sure it's going to be a neat home screen for me. Maybe I'll post it some day!
thanks guys!
Sorry for the delay, I've been out of touch for the past week or so!
For a homescreen file to work the filename MUST end in .home.xml - you can put anything you like before that. Change your file to Rob.02.Home.xml and it should work. Also make sure it's in Application Data/Home. See http://tinyurl.com/47o4 for some info on homescreens (pre WM5 but still relevant).
I should also have mentioned that as well as the SmartMonitor plugin I also have the PtkslApptPlugIn running in place of the default calendar (it gives a scrolling display and always shows the next appt if you have nothing for the present day) - http://www.patricktrentsullivan.com/products.htm. All you need to do to revert is copy the original calendar plugin XML code from the default HTC.Home.xml to your file in place of my code.
@madferret:
the information from this thread helped me to tweak the homescreen, and now i'm quite pleased with the result. Thanks for the help. I am at my work now, and it is not possible to upload a screen shot. But now i have a battery meter at the top of the screen. It is the battery/memory meter I found in batt.htc.home.xml. Then the htc clock, without the message notification bar. Then comes the bar with small icons from the last used applications (rmu), which I also found in one of the homescreens posted here. Then comes the agenda from the homescreen from smartmonitor, which shows upcoming appointments better then the standard htc homescreen does.
All of this fills the complete 2.4" screen and I'm very pleased with it. A wysiwyg homescreen editor would have been helpfull, because I don't have a lot of time to spend on these things.
gr. Rob
Pleased to be of help
I thought the SmartMonitor home screen just uses the standard calendar plugin?
If you're looking for a WYSIWYG home screen editor there are a few out there but a lot are based on the 2003 version. I found a free one at www.madbeetle.com, useful for getting the basics covered.
is this with wm6 or what os? maybe at the wrong thread point me the rite way please>>>themes for wm6 or a very good generator>>>i have ms theme gen 2002
I was reading around through the forums and found that you need to use Manila to edit a file "4a087e41_manila" to change the background on the home screen and all the others. Well I did this and it has yet to change anything...
Any advice?
i was able to change the home wallpaper by going to the settings tap and going to wallpaper....go figure...lol
but I still want to change all the other tabs to have the same background as I am using on my home screen.
anyone?
there's a cab that will do that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=121510&d=1223945516
well the above cab worked great, put my background on all pages, but then also set my clock to 12:59, the date to Jan 1 2008 and set my network to T-Mobile....lol (im with AT&T)
I will mess around with it and see what I can do
ok so I think i got it now.

I went there and used nisse's zip files, then I used manila editor to change the image, the trick is that the image you replace in the files that you download from nisse HAVE to be the same size, exactly 256x256.
But the only problem now is that the picture has gone over my home screen, all i have is the background there, but its only for my home tab. I may try to load a different clock and see what happens.
All i need to do now is figure out how to change what the buttons lok like in landscape mode and I will be golden
Hi,
I want to get the background of the golden theme. I searched really a lot. I manage to change background for all tabs. In settings on today I tried too, but it isn't working. I get an image on the startup, but it isn't looking like the original image... pls help. I tried to edit in manila editor to change the image, but I get an error. Everything is looking good of the golden theme, except this background is driving me nuts. nobody seems to have this problem, am I really just stupid??
here you go.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2968109&postcount=168:)
use this method,. it works every time and you don't have to have 256x256, its 512x512.
Well the cab. works greate but the slider goes to left and the clock has goten white from incolor... have you got an answer to this too?
Thanks!
All functioning and even the screen orientation icons make sense now.
Thanks to icons mostly from here:

Realize weather icons from oscarbum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3032867&postcount=24
[UPDATE] Added neon weather icons to neon.zip file (adapted from original Vito icons)
[UPDATE] See post #59 for extra Neon icons in a dll file. They can be used by calling them in a .lnk file as described elsewhere in this forum.
Briefly, you make a txt file and the syntax would be, for instance:
81#"\Storage Card\Program Files\CorePlayer\player.exe"?\Storage Card\My_icons.dll,-20
where the number 20 is the icon index in the dll file. I've also attached in post #59 a png file showing the icon index number for all of the icons in the dll file.
Best of luck
Great, thank you!
That's funny. I've been working on a new theme for WAD2 using this set and it didn't occur to me to use it for WF. Nice work.
Amazing Work! Thanks
For me, THE best skin for winterface... great job, and thanks for sharing
Posted the various links for WF themes here on xda-devs...
...at blog.iwindowsmobile.com
and the moderators keep removing them.
I wonder why :-/
i think they still see skinning as hacking. but then what do they expect if they don't offer alternative themes themselves? even though the software is pretty good, many people won't buy it because of the oppressive look of the UI.
people want a constant theme running through their whole device and application UI, or they want to be able to tweak things to their satisfaction
*more people will buy the software*
hope someone from Vito reads this.
i love it man vito/iwindows should allow open skins for this it makes it more attractive...and i was think (maybe its too ipone-ish but) they should lock the bottom bar and allow us to put our most used apps/settings/contax etc there just a thought but im addin this new skin to the collection
Great! Thanx friend!
thanks for all. I like it. I love the VITO Interface but now it has a very very good look and beautiful colors...
Thanks a lot...
Just for a laugh...
...some hand-drawn icons added to first post
nice, nice... thanxx man
Nice, thanks dave
If you ever decide to do another Winterface theme...
Here's some things I've found that might save you some time....
1. Don't do a calendar icon. Winterface replaces it with the background icon in the black file and puts the date on it.
2. Don't do a clock icon. Same reason.
3. Also, the weather icon in the icons file is no longer used. It pulls the info from the weather icons.bmp.
4. On my phone anyway, Winterface doesn't use the calculator icon. Kind of an odd glitch.
5. I don't use bluetooth, so I don't know for sure, but unless the plain bluetooth icon opens bluetooth explorer, doing all three icons is pointless too.
6. This next point actually adds time, but I noticed you did not do anything with the top row contact icon. It is skinnable, you just need to make sure you do EXACTLY the same thing to the contact icon in black.bmp.
Great job, as always. I hope to be back working on more icons soon as well once I finished my Blackberry Bold theme for WAD2.
Another theme
Here's one I threw together this morning. (Are we nearing the point of simply having a Winterface theme thread?)
I don't know if I've posted the weather icons before but it goes well with the realize theme.

Although I think it does use this icon if your default calendar app is not the standard Windows one. One way of working is to have your appointments shown on S2U2 as you unlock and use a better calendar such as Thumbcal as standard
2. Don't do a clock icon. Same reason.
3. Also, the weather icon in the icons file is no longer used. It pulls the info from the weather icons.bmp.
That's another ton of work I have to do :-(
4. On my phone anyway, Winterface doesn't use the calculator icon. Kind of an odd glitch.
Mine neither, but I figured that's because I dono't use the standard calculator
5. I don't use bluetooth, so I don't know for sure, but unless the plain bluetooth icon opens bluetooth explorer, doing all three icons is pointless too.
Yes, the plain one opens Bluetooth settings
6. This next point actually adds time, but I noticed you did not do anything with the top row contact icon. It is skinnable, you just need to make sure you do EXACTLY the same thing to the contact icon in black.bmp.
I thought the very same thing this morning. My upcoming theme will change this icon as well
Great job, as always. I hope to be back working on more icons soon as well once I finished my Blackberry Bold theme for WAD2.

Should be able to post another here in a day or so, depending on whether I take on the buttons and the weather icons as well!
Good work and thanks for the tips
well i notice the slide to unlock image (lock) is messed up. also, there are pink dots on bottom left and right of bluetooth icon.
other than that they're amazing. thanks for the icons.
we are also waiting your last theme with realize icons,oscarbum.
thank you both.
is anyone else having this issue.. it's also noticed when i move icons around and when one icon goes over another, it has parts of the icon that is transparent and that's how the lock looks when it appears. this is vga supported, right? i have touch pro.
Yes, I think that's the messed up lock icon that was mentioned
on another note though, I can' get the contact pictures to work if I change any of the contact icons as you said oscarbum.
I've tried changing the two in black.bmp and the one in icons.bmp in every combination and it doesn't work.
The pictures need to work in three places in the theme:
When you view you contacts ready to dial
When you select the contact to bring up details
When you add a contact.
There is no combination of changed icons (all identical) that works.
I went through a lot of themes and pulled the FONT files!
Have fun!!
Special thanks to NisseDILLIGAF and this post for showing me the files.
Hope you don't mind I made a cab for the black and white to be able to uninstall easier
I haven't tested them yet, so let me know if there is a problem.
any way to get blue cabbed up as well?
Post #2 UPDATED
thank you!
does this work for all the tabs?
Hello,
I've try the cab files.
I put the file in the internal storage, i execute the cab, i insall in the device.
I do a soft reset, and there is nothing to change.
I've try with the 3 cab files.
Can you help me ?
thank you
Has anyone preview pictures?
I need a cab file only for the home tab, because there I change the wallpaper, so I need to change the font color.
-> the 77faa36d_manila only changes alarm font in Home tab and font Settings Tab. What is with "Calendar, Call History ..." in Home Tab?
For me, when i execute the cab ,it isn't change home tab for the text "calls","calendar", this text is white again so that i execute black cab file.
But for example when i go to message tab, the text messages are black.
i want that the text on home tab change also.
The cab changes the text in all the other screens except the Home screen. For some reason, on the contacts screen, all the text disappeared when I was using the blueish font cab. I just uninstalled it and reinstalled Manila once again. My phone doesn't like most of these cabs because my Manila always gets messed up and I end up spending the next 20mins or so uninstalling/reinstalling to get my flip clock back.
I wish there was a cab that was more (for lack of a better term) 'hotswappable' so I could change things on the fly... without uninstalling/reinstalling. You know, just go into the specific program, select what font color I want to use, hit apply (or something) and viola! I'm done and back to other things.
strongly that it is possible to have a cab file that allow to change color text Home screen because i can't to put the wallpaper that i want.
I wait with impatience.
In installed the black font cab and everything worked except for the calender tab. And for some reason my weather tab just said text at the top and didnt show any weather. So i uninstalled the cab and weather was back and the font stayed black. So my only question is how to i default my font color back when i decide to change my background to a dark color and want the white and grey default?
I have the white font cab for a back up incase but if anyone knows that would be awesome.
I got the same problem with the cabs. I installed the white cab and the weather was gone. I removed it and it was back. Also, when installed my icons under the contact person picture (such as the home, send sms, office, short cuts are gone) Thanks.
The font on some tabs is changed but TF3D keep crashing, tabs aren't loading and the soft keys are getting stuck after going on tabs.
Thanks anyway but its just not working for me
Thanks, Chris

Anyway, could you guys make a red color. please......
Is there a way to make the background for all the icons for TF3D the same like the home screen
Guys, did you succeed with changing home screen font? I need all the text (or at least the appointment details) to turn white. Is that possible?
This doen't work with manila 2.1.
I managed to change some text in some of the manila files but it's hard to find the right files to change...
does anybody know why these fonts are not working?
or can anybody tall me where to get these manila 2.5 files in multiple colors?
I've tried to above 3 cabs, these did not work after installing and softreset
also replacing the manila files itself did not do anything at all
Thanks a lot
