win mob 6 themes and tweaks? noob here. - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

hello,
i just got my tilt yesterday and purchased a seido case, 4 gb mem card, screen protector, and installed sbp software. i am not ready to load ROM themes and such so i was wondering what are the wm6 cool themes and user interface tweaks available?
i really like sbp diary and pocket plus. using those, i dont see a purpose to mobile shell.
question, when i choose an image to be my background wallpaper, why is it shaded white? i couldnt find the control that specifies the transparancy.
thanks!

That's why it's an HTC program. Why don't you use SPB Mobile Shell which is just the same?!?!?
very nice
works soo great on my kaiser
really appreciate it,thanks the guy from pxdxa~~
and i have a question:
i install your attachment,and just have the clock and msg,no green icons~
the green icons on your screen(the quick links?) are htchomeplug, right?
yep, you need to go to the settings - today - and there is one more tab - plus! - where you can setup what you will see or not. just setup it here
It's interesting, very minimalist compared to the HTC Home. I wish they would have added Tab support as in the Home plugin, so we could switch to contact photodialing, quick launch etc.
The existing quick launch along the bottom is nice, especially being able to add any program to it (and drag icons to re-arange their order). But it's only one line, having to click on an arrow to scroll through them. Expanding it to display more lines, or perhaps even the entire screen (if needed) would have been nice.
I'll be sticking with HTCHome for now, maybe use Plus! to add 1 row of quicklaunch icons and not display the clock/mesage indicators.
(unless I am misunderstanding what this app does):
Just to let you guys know, your Kaisers should already be pre-installed with the Quicklaunch icons (with one additional for backlight) prior to installing this app. Go to "settings>today>items". Look through the list and check the box next to "HTCHomeplug" (Not htc home). The only difference is the icons aren't green.
ee, i do not agree. thchomeplug is someting different from this. icons are smaller then on quicklink and you can not customize it..
disagree

you can customize htchomeplug search for either the thread started by me or search for registry under kaiser upgrading and you can customize the new htc tray app using the same registry keys
yep, already found that and it was posted HERE
the problem that i find with this home plug in is that the quick link to the txt, mms and e-mail are all liked to the same main page of Messages, not individually like the htc home plugin v.2... can you fiz that issue, or can any one fix that??

Spb Pocket Plus

Hello everyone,
I have a rookie question...
I just bought SPB Pocket Plus, mainly because the people from the the thread where you show your today screen had magnificent screens and said that they got there from pocket plus, and was wondering how you get the skins/themes/ whatever they are called. I liked the iPhone looking one i tried 'googleing' it and nothing close to what I was looking for. Thanks in advance for any help!
look around
It's opinion on what's the best theme. Just make sure you're catching the difference between programs and themes. HTC Home is popular but isn't really a theme. In SPB shell there is a quick way to switch theme colors, and then just pick a Today screen. I would look around a but for posts on today screens to get a feel for what you like.

This post has tons of examples.

Hi:
There are no Pocket Plus themes per se. You can change the icons to your liking, so they go well with any theme you choose.
You can find icons for Pocket Plus here:
http://www.spbclub.com/forum/viewto...tart=585&sid=1f6b7201264cbff68b5a4f341b2cee91
The Today theme is different than Pocket Plus. Pocket Plus is just one aspect of it.
For example, I will post my Today screen below. At the top the 5 icons are SPB Pocket Plus, right below that is HTC Home (that includes the clock, indicators, and five icons right below it. Below that the voicemail indicator, and bluetooth toggle are SPB Phone Suites. In addition, there is a separate Today theme (which includes background, and the color of your text (as you can see, my theme is all black , but you can also choose backgrounds with wallpaper etc.)
Anyway, I hope this helps

Dude why do you have 2 clocks on your today screen?

Lol, very easy explanation. I like the look of HTC Home, but the small clock is visible in all programs. So, if I am online, or whatever I still know what time it is.
It's so funny, I have shown my Today screen to tons of people, and you are the first to question this. I think others just assumed there was a purpose for it
Yeah, I thought of that right as i posted. lol

Tools to customize the today screen

Greetings,
I was searching the forums looking for tools to change my today screen. In fact, I have found 1-Home Edit, but it doesn´t seem to work on my Kaiser.
tbh, I just want to change default colors and the background. Are there any utils that would do that ?
Thanks in advance,
search for htc home customizer
haam1978 - search for htc home customizer
He wants to customize his today screen as he said. He didn't say anything about wanting to customize the HTC Home plugin.
That´s right... for example, when I go to settings, today screen, and specify a background, it loads ok, but it appears like Im looking through a smoked glass... I even thought about editing some themes and saving them with the backgrounds I want, but that wouldn´t be pratical.
Reading the description of the 1-Home Edit tool, I found that that´s what I´m looking for, but it won´t work on the kaiser.
Any suggestions ?
In response to the OP, try reading this from microsoft. Personalize the Today/Home Screen.
Also,
Microsoft’s free desktop PC Theme Generator
ThemeMaker
VITO ThemeEditor
Spb Pocket Plus
PocketBreeze

The 1-Home Edit tool is for Windows Mobile Smartphone/Classic not for Windows Mobile Professional that the Tilt/TyTNII uses.
ok for putting your bakground do the next
open it by the windows photo viewer and then choose it from the option menue to be as a background and then you will get a transperant percent put it in 0 then you will see it as well
for changing the coloures of your bars i think any themes can do that
i hope this is what you mean
I had the same problem about the background, thanks for the info haam, it helped

[Theme] [QVGA Landscape] [Standard 6.1|6.5] Smartphone Revitalize Sliding Panel Theme

Hi guys,
So I'm one of those guys still living in the dark age of Windows Mobile Standard. I don't see many good themes posted for good ole non-touchscreen phones, so I thought I'de give it a shot.
Critiques are encouraged!
More information to come...
Requirements
Windows Mobile Standard 6.1 or 6.5
QVGA Landscape device
Installation
After unzipping, look at the folder names for instructions
.
i have broke my last smartphone a while ago (and now all my smartphones are died)
but imo your theme is perfect and nice... very cool text on screen (great chars, slim font)
i love the themes without useless icons ^^
maybe you could add a titanium slider (or only an underlined graphic to the active panel)
the page counter is a little "oldish" maybe you could redesign it and move to another position
and for least a thing (i think is impossible): make the long titles of panels sticking/sliding to read the whole text in it (e.g. in the calendar panel you could read only the first part of the appointment infos, if u get it orrizontal sliding you could read it all like the music info panels) but for me this is impossible
so now i haven't a device to test it, but i like, nice job! thanks to sharing
ot
are you still living in the dark age of Windows Mobile Standard? i wish that times return for me
i miss my old winmo NONtouch... actually i hate to have to tap with my finger on these little display (e.g. i was texting on my htc wings 50sms/hour , now my frineds joke me cuz it seem that i cannot write in a correct italian language...)
non touchscreen are the best phones imo but actually they are lost in the old technologies limbo... and i doubt thay could come out again...

Thanks for the compliments!
I'm working on adding a titanium slider right now to see how it looks, but I designed it to not require a slider. Text on the currently selected panel is white and text on unselected panels is transparent.
I'm still trying to figure out what (if anything) I'm going to do with the page counter.
As for the long titles extending off the page... well that was sort of the goal. It was inspired by the Zune HD and Windows Phone 7 interface. 99% of the time it shows enough text for you to understand, and in the rare case you do need to see more you can always click it. I think horizontal scrolling/sliding for long text would be really cool, but I have no idea (yet) how to make that happen. If anyone know a way to do this, let me know.
i see...
the orizzontal sliding for the title is a "higher sky" and personally the cropped title text is cool
and i love the zunehd inspi.
apps and web apps panels are fantastic
(a suggestion, for the counterpage maybe you could remove the numbers and left only the arrows, white for the next page, transparent if no page avalaible)
all my compliments
I created a version with a slider. If any smartphone users make it in here and would like me to post it just let me know.
Hi gtg456x. I got a new touch phone recently because my contract for the BJ2 was up. I've always loved the performance of Sliding panel plugin, and I can't wait to try this theme. It looks uncluttered, so I think I can finally put some wallpapers that didn't used to work on the standard icon-filled theme. Thanks for sharing and for reviving my interest in the BJ2 phone
this is an awesome theme....it's too bad that I don't know how to apply anything that isn't a .cab file!
I know your probably thinking I'm stupid, but I have no idea of how to install this theme onto my blackjack 2. It looks so great, and I would really like to use it on a daily basis. Please Help!!!

I have install before the titanium panels?
With a black background and this theme is terrific. Almost Zune-esque. Thanks! Here's a screen
how to install a certain part?
can u please point me the way how to install the files that are in...
Optional images for link panels (you will have to create your own to match your links)
i have managed to install all the rest but need some help.
Now if you would port the landscape cpr to a portrait cpr, I would be happy, because I wouldn't have to do it myself (although I made myself a similar theme a couple of months ago, but I didn't release it to the public )...
like it about to put it on my jack

Looks like you forgot to install the font though.
Wasn't expecting this thread to get revived. Shouldn't be too hard to make it into a cab file for those who are having trouble.
blee
i know you should had posted this in the windowsmobile standard section you would had got so many people here instead of windowsmobile touch screen section .Its mostly a touch screen section then for both touch and type of phones.

Spb Mobile Shell 3.5.5 - Theme

Hi,
I have installed Spb Mobile Shell 3.5.5 on WM6.1 on HTC Touch (ELF) & using Onyx Micro ROM.
When I go to change theme, it doesn't change the theme leaving it to the default theme it came with. I just want to use plain "Black" theme that comes with Spb Mobile Shell 3.5.5.
Is there a way I can change some registry entry to force it to use the theme I want?
Cheers

a) Wrong post category!
b) There is a thread already for SPB issues!
c) You could have got better help there
d) Do a fresh install - it should start with default
SPB shell default = lifestyle screen, blue wall paper with black/blue background according to your 'today' theme.
Use any today theme which makes your phone 'black' or search for 'LIVENN themes' and install them. After that select Livenn Black.
Hope I have helped!
Thanks for the help mate.
I did a fresh install. Went to Launcher, Theme, Black. Nothing happens. I would like to start there before going with third party themes installations.
BTW where is the "Thread for SPB issues"? I searched but no joy.

One of the theme changers I use and I love it on my TG01! If you wish, you could try - simplest and quickest solution!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578468
EDIT: Just realized you mentioned 6.1 winmo, I think link I posted for themes is 6.5 or higher, might not work!
Hope I've helped
EDIT 2: This might work - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364541 for 6.1
Thanks. I think I am going to post in that thread as I think there is a problem with the SPB installation I have. The inbuilt color theme functionality is not working and I just need the registry setting or a setting in the file which forces it to use Black or Maroon or Gold... theme.

If you want to force Black to be used you have to go to "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color\MultiColorTheme" search for "BaseColor1" key and replace the original value with 0 and then do a soft reset.
