I've done my searches (yes more than one, using several key words ) before I get flamed.
Didn't quite know where to start this thread, but it seems software related, so will post here (plus, this forum looks a bit empty )
Onto the issue, i'd like to be able to change the scrollbar graphics on the today screen (see picture below), reason being I have a lot of appointments and stuff so it's almost always there, but it contrasts with the slick look of Dutty's WM6.1. I've noticed Confused Stu's "Mobile Vista" ROM (which is pictured below, great work stu ) has changed the scrollbar graphics, so I'd like to do my own. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
What you see in that image is the TodayAgenda plugin which I also use.
Here is the cab for you.
Enjoy.
Thanks MACKjam, looks interesting.
However, I was hoping to be able to create my own graphics for the scrollbar, in flash/PS/whatever. I'd love for it to be as easy as finding some .jpg/.bmp's and modifying them, but I know it won't be that easy
i ran across this thread and started using that plugin and i think it's great, my only issue is i still get the default today screen scroll bar, so i have 2 including the one in the today plugin. how do i disable the default scroll bar? i've been searching and diggin through registry and i just don't see that option.

Not sure you can, Fix the Height of TodayAgenda in the Layout tab so that I doesn't create scroll bars.
Ta,

very good thanks. that was driving me nuts.
Way to hijack someone elses thread!
Yeah thanks for that
O/J. but back on topic
Actually - That IS a good plugin!
Thanks!
So when the phone is vertical and normal the menus come up with words and what they are, but if i slide it open the menu words are blank and have this weird chinese looking symbol on some spots.
The suggestion words do the same thing.. how do i fix this so it works both ways. its really annoying..
i know somebody knows how to do this ?

I really dont understand what are u talking about. U dont see text when u open up the keyboard?
If that is it, try to disable cleartype in landscape(install schaps advanced config, and there is the option to turn off cleartype in landscape)
Hell yeah ! thank you kind sir, you have solved my problem ! kudos for you !
Ahh, so much better. And what is unicode ?
My first theme/dialer aka "Purple Nightmare"
spent quite a while on this, and this was my first attempt at editing manila, playing with xml and trying out mode9 (mode9 = killer!)
i would like to say thanks to Herg, Nisse, dHarvey, Xbmod, Showaco, Elvelynn, Mobilematt and a few others for helping me with this.
I attempted this as i noticed a lack of Purple orientated themes on the site... plus i think purple looks good with black!
Anywho, the home page is actually intended for the clock to be dragged back, think it looks more proffesional that way, plus ive "cleaned up" the home tab. you will still get notifications of missed calls and voicemails though.
Also, it contains a different background from the rest of the tabs, the hompage wallpaper will be added aswell. It also contains a different dialer...
To install:
Turn off TF3D
Put the Htc Purple.tsk folder in windows
Install .Cab file
*Soft reset*
Go to Start/Settings/Today and select the Htc Purple theme, and reactivate TF3D, choose the wallpaper through TF3D
as always, this release is not perfect. so if anybody finds any bugs, please let me know.
and there you go, hope you like it...

Looks nice!
Things to do:
Lanscape dialer:
try and find a solution to get rid of the white box around the "end call" button
View attachment 163111
submit this to CRC for deviceUpdate deployment
Request it to be called something like:
TF3d Theme\Purple Nightmare
TF3d TSK\Purple Nightmare
Nice work.
Looks good!
thanks to 12aon, i made a matching landscape for the theme. But due to certain conflicts of manila files, where previously edited files are being replaced by files containing different data, it is causing a few "visual" problems in regards to the theme. This is a pretty easy fix, but i just cant find the time seeing as i have so much work at uni this month. Also, the port from TP2 is nearly ready, so im not gonna stress myself out to fix this .
the cab below was intended as an "add-on" but has now become a file in which i hope others will edit to their benefit. if anybody does edit the files to coincide with one and other, please post them back here.
INSTALLING THIS "WILL" CAUSE PROBLEMS, SO DONT MOAN AT ME AFTER... IM WARNING YOU!!
Finally, im preparing a similar theme for the new port, so bring on "Purple Nightmare 2" for the New TF3D!!!

Love purple! Thanks!
Hmm.. well, that didn't work... Hard reset time.
Installed as directed. After the (automatic) soft reset after the cab install, and re-enabling TF3D, all screens selected with the slider were blank (just the background image with title, no content/buttons), and after the 2nd or 3rd screen, the slider would freeze, and eventually error out with an exception in shell32.dll. Softkeys at the bottom were "OK" and "Help", rather than what they were previously set to.
Tried changing back to a stock theme, but that had no effect on the TF3D issues. After stopping and re-starting TF3D, the same behavior would occur.
Tried an uninstall, didn't really seeem to do much. Same colors, same behavior. As a last resort before hard reset, tried a "Reset to default" from the theme selector in Diamond TF3D Config. This reset all the graphics to stock AT&T (rather than the HTC version I had to begin with), but with the same freeze of the slider after the 2nd or 3rd selection from the slider bar.
Running on AT&T stock ROM, with tyguy's 'no bloatware' TF3D install from this thread. I had made a bunch of tweaks with Advanced Config Tool, Diamond TF3D Config, and Diamond Tweak. The main one that I'm wondering about that might have had something to do with it was changing the order of the icons in the slider.
Getting the fresh TF3D install going now, this time I'm going to try installing the theme before all the other config tools, and see how that goes.
Absolutely beautiful theme btw, I really hope I can get it up and running.
Got it reinstalled on a fresh copy of TF3D.
Home screen is still pretty much non-functional. When it starts up, it's blank with OK and Help softkeys at the bottom (Screenshot #1). After selecting any other page, then going back to home, the softkeys from the previously selected page remain at the bottom of the home screen (Screenshot #2, after coming back to home from the settings screen).
Pressing either of the softkeys on the home screen, regardless of what they happen to be labeled at the time, will cause TF3D to freeze after the next use of the slider. TF3D can be restarted without a soft reset, and it will work again, until one of those softkeys gets pressed.
I've also noticed that the background is a little bit different than in the screenshots you provided with the original post, and setting the jpg file as wallpaper from the settings screen doesn't seem to have any effect at all.
All screens except for home seem to be fully functional.
Update:
Hard reset and just let it install the AT&T Manila and bloatware, then installed the theme. Works fine. Must be something it doesn't like about the HTC Manila.
Before another hard reset to go back to the non-bloatware install, I did try a quick install of Glass Clock, which did not change the clock at all from the standard AT&T clock. *shrug*

i made this on the stock HTC Rom.... so i can honestly say, that i aint got a clue as to why it aint working for you. the only reason maybe is because of the rom difference maybe?!?!
but other that that i dont know why it wouldnt work...
Im sorry for the hard resets but if u do get it to work let me know man
good luck

Ah, no worries there. The beauty of having a fresh new phone with nothing on it: It's the ideal time to play, mess with stuff, and hard-reset to my heart's content!
Anyway, after some more monkeying around with this theme and Brian's blue/red & chrome themes, all of them seem to work fine with the AT&T Manila, but wierd things happen when I use them with the Manila from tyguy's package. I don't know if it's something to do with a difference in the flipclock-style Manila vs. the AT&T clock, or what. I'm brand new to the Raphael and TF3D (just picked it up after my Kaiser met an untimely demise by getting left on the trunk of the car.. d'oh!), so I'll have to do some more searching around. Prolly end up flashing to a cooked rom anyway, so the whole point will be moot. 8)
I'm down to one last thing that's not quite working with this theme: On the Settings tab, it doesn't come up with the white background like in your screenshot, it's just nearly black text on the mostly black background, very hard to see. Any ideas on that one?

i dont use any of the extra calendar, call history or comm. tabs... but im guessing maybe your problem could be fixed by copying over one of the manils files from post #49

Little help installing...
I tried installing as described in the topic-start, but when I try to install the _manoli20_purple night.cab I immediatly get an error.
The landscape_purple.cab works just fine. (looks very nice.)
Any ideas on what might be going wrong.
My Rom: 5.05.404.1 dutch HTC original

Direct error because of corrupt installer. Downloaded again and it works. Now to figure out how to get the landscape working as well.

good.... the thing with the landscape, it has files which clash with the theme.... if your new to this you might wanna stay clear of it. if your up for the challange then look into the diting of manila files, its not that hard. good luck.
The landscape 'cab' installs just fine, but while trying all sorts of other stuff I can't get the normal theme applied back on.
I can't get it uninstalled, can't get it re-installed.
Any tips on how to uninstall an unwilling app/theme short of resetting my whole phone.
Can I just go into the registry and delete the key, or are there files I have to delete also for that to work?
(fideled around with the manila customizer, and that gives nice results as wel, but nothing in landscape.)
Ive noticed an incredably annoying problem on my latest 6.1 ROM. When I am typing on the hard keyboard my sentanceso ftenc omeo utl iket his! Due to a delay in a space being inserted after hitting the space bar. I think I have read this is a common problem on some ROMs. Is there a solution? I have disabled the word suggestion and auto correction features.
Lastly, how do you revert to standard sized menus? My latest ROM shows soft button menus full screen and I really dont like this.
I hope someone out there knows of some cabs that may help.
Thanks guys.
For the keyboard speed up solution, it's one of the stickies at the top of the Kaiser Software forum, here. As for the large menus, you must get some kind of registry editor, and change "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\CUIHandler"
to DWORD "0", this worked perfectly on my old ROM.

Thanks Dave1. Much appreciated mate.

hey, i want to know if someone could help me.
I've searched a lot and tried to find the answer on my own but i think i need help. I think this is one of the stupidest things in 6.5
i use one of the blue wallpapers from the htc hero on my phone (check signature) . touchflo makes it look good in either landscape or portrait, but if i set it for my today screen background and go into the start menu it will look tiled.
I can either not change the picture and it'll be tiled if the start menu is in portrait mode.
or if i rotate the picture 90 degrees it will be tiled if the start menu's in landscape mode.
It's a small annoyance but i'm sure it bugs A LOT of people, or maybe i'm just stupid. Why doesn't windows mobile have the option for stretching or fit to screen of a wallpaper?
so if anyone knows a cab that could help me, i'd really appreciate it.
thanks in advance
This should be in the wiki or something. how many people would know this?
I found a solution for omnia
http://discuss.pocketnow.com/showthread.php?t=26213
it's meant for the omnia so just switch 400 to 640 anytime you see it, and 240 to 480 so it uses the TP or fuze resolution.
Then just soft reset and it should be good.
At first i got the numbers switched up so change it and soft reset if you have to.
