I've not really liked the pink/purple of the T-Mobile comm manager icons, so I installed duttythroy's 10 button one.
I really like the simplicity of the of these icons, and the blue is my fave color.
What I want to do is change as much of the graphics as possible (home screen, dialer screen and others) to be the same style as the comm manager.
Any ideas of how to do this?
Any help ?
Check out Schaps Rom for Hermes.... in one release you will find the necessary cabs for comm manager, audio manager, htc home and so on... as well as schaps black theme. give it a try - dont forget to make a backup.
If you look in the \windows folder you will find all the .png files you are looking for they are HH_*.png and L_*.png and #.png If you edit them and change them around and put them back into the \windows dir on your phone they will change the appearance
Take a look here I have done some http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335652

Nice icons
I have almost got it like I want it.
The only problem is the Home background.
I have PaintShopPro 7 and I have created some backgrounds, but when I use start> settings> home to select the background they get displayed very pixellated and as if the brightness has been turned up very high on the image.
I have tried several file formats for them as well.
I've got installed:
HTChome customizer
duttythroy WMP touch skin
Sharkey48 Softkey Changer
jizy HTC Action Screen
RC Mod v.2.1 by o3blig
Deathace MDA Vario III de-Brand
ScaryBear Software QuickTasks (reports database not available dialogue, then shows as it should on homescreen)
Resco (explorer, photo viewer pro, registry editor)
AE Software AE Button Plus
lokmeup IE Slow Scroll Fix
Windows Live 10.6.33.0600 (which only shows the loading for less than a second and does nothing)
try using the built in photo viewer app to set the today screen wallpaper. Make sure to select 0% for the transparency.
Yep...
That's sorted it
Here is a wm7-inspired theme I have been working on. It comes in Blue and Black, and ONLY SUPPORTS QVGA.
The preview only shows black (blue is blue where this preview is black - except for the keyboard.. this is the same in both versions)

Files needed are located in "htctoucher s2u2_s2p wm7-inspired (Black or Blue).zip"
TO HAVE THIS THEME LOOK JUST LIKE THE PREVIEW ABOVE....
...You will have to remove "slide.png" and "slideanis.png" to hide the bottom slide background/"slide to unlock" animation that is default with s2u2

==================================================
**PocketCM Contacts INSTRUCTIONS** (for questions/updates/feedback etc aboutvPCMContacts Theme go to this thread)
This is the "htctoucher wm7-inspired black.zip" or "htctoucher wm7-inspired blue.zip" file (depending on which you use) attached in the PocketCM.zip.
...Drag the .zip file into your PocketCM folder on your device (DO NOT UNZIP!!)
...Go into options in PocketCM by pressing the filter button and going into options
...Press "Select theme" and choose "htctoucher wm7-inspired black" in the drop down menu
...Restart PocketCM (you may not have to do this step, but it is recommended. First load may be slow, but second will be very fast (new version caches images)
==================================================
**PocketCM Keyboard INSTRUCTIONS** (for questions/updates/feedback etc about PCMKeyboard Skin go to this thread)
You will need the "htctoucher wm7-inspired.skin" file and "Eng htctoucher most.layout" file found in the PCMKeyboard folder found in the PocketCM.zip.
...Drag the two files into your PCMKeyboard folder on your device
...Go into PCMKeyboard options by holding down the *return key* and navigating to the "Opt." button

...Under "Keyboard skin" choose "htctoucher wm7-inspired" in the drop down menu
...If you want, change the feedback time etc., and once you are done, press ok to exit the settings
...You may have to reset your device, but probably not
By the way, in the above preview you will see a unique layout that includes a keypad page, smileys page and an internet page with internet shortcuts
*almost every button has a popup.. just hold down a button and find out what is hidden!*
==================================================
**PocketCM ImageViewer INSTRUCTIONS**
This is the "theme.zip" file found in the PCM ImageViewer folder which is inside the PocketCM.zip.
...Drag the .zip file into the folder on your device you have created for ImageViewer (this folder must also include the ImageViewer.exe file found on pocketcm.com!)
...load ImageViewer, and you will see the theme
If you loaded ImageViewer before having overwritten the original with mine, then you will have to delete the cache and usersetting file

**rltoday INSTRUCTIONS**
!!ONLY DRAG THE WM7 FOLDER TO YOUR RLTODAY FOLDER ON YOUR DEVICE!!
to hide the bottom softkeys on your todayscreen, you will have to install the "PMC TodayShrink.cab" I included
BOTTOM ROW and APP LAUNCHER
The home button on the bottom left of the screen brings you to the first screen. The star can be mapped to shortcut to whatever application you want.
The person icon is pocketcm for me, you can link it to whatever you want, and the web is the next icon.
To set this up properly, go into options of rltoday (hold down on the today until options pops up) then go into the "Apps" tab.
....make sure your first FOUR applications correspond to:
..................................1.png (the star or music note, depending on which you choose to use)- **change "change to 1.png if want to use instead of music note.png" to 1.png if you want to use it**
..................................2.png (the person)
..................................3.png (the world with the magnifying glass)
..................................5.png (the lock)
you do not need to do anything with 4.png
The next 10 applications you choose are what will show up on the app launcher page.
==============================
RLTODAY WEATHER
**EDIT THESE FILES IN NOTEPAD**
To update weather, press on the weather icon or any of the degrees shown.
YOU MUST EDIT THE "rl_Vista_Weather.mscr" file in the rltoday-->wm7 folder to change the lines:

</Text>
(located near the bottom) to your city name.
**I have also included TWO STYLES for the background (different bottom), just name whichever one you want to use "weatherbg.png"**
==================================================
**IF YOU WANT TO ADD MORE BLUE INTO YOUR TSK, INSTALL UI TWEAKER** (included in UI TWEAKER folder)
....take the "WM7 black UITWEAK" file I included in the folder

wm7-inspired Dialer to match PCM Contact theme
here is a dialer I made to match the PocketCM Contact Dialer
looks like this:
***DIALER INSTRUCTIONS***
.....Attached is a .zip.
.....You will have to first install the .cab file, which will install a Diamond-styled dialer (the original dialer is an iphone dialer, but I cannot remember where I found it)
.....With that installed, you may have to reset.
.....Take the images I have included in the folder called "Images" in the .zip attached, and drag them into your Windows folder on your Device
.....Overwrite all files.
there is a blue and black version.
===============================================
I recently tried out the shrink to fit option and liked it, so created bubbles for this feature.
looks like this:
......black bluegreen................................black bluesilver...............................blue blue silver..................................blue bluegreen.............
enjoy!

Good morning,
nice to see another good skin coming.
I tried your Pidgin Manila-styled Theme on my Diamond, which did not work because VGA iso QVGA (?). But now I hope you'll be able to upload this PocketCM theme.
Can I use it on my Diamond with pcm 25c?
Thanx allready

nope.. this is made for QVGA screens only
I was in contact with a fellow that has a diamond (huey), over on PocketCM and here, and we are looking in to making VGA versions of some of my themes. His device is in for repair now, but once it is fixed you should see some VGA coming your way!
hopefully it doesnt take too long!

I'll just keep checking in so once in a while. I like your style.
Great themes and the dialer also very nice
I'm digging the style. Good work.
WOW...Great Skin...
Great work
superb work.. I installed this on my touch and it rocks.. Thanks for such a lovely work..One thought, when moving between tabs, it takes time and refreshing of the mage is also very slow.. Can something be done to speed it up...
WOW!!!! im speechless, Loving this style A+
did i miss the pcmkeyboard and image viewer skin??? i dont see it for D/L
*edit* never mind, i found it
but the image viewer theme looks the same though

i wish, this seems to be a limitation with the program itself (I would love to see rltoday updated with tab support, transitions etc.)
But rltoday doesnt have tab support, so this theme actually uses mortscript to change between different skin setups.. too bad rltoday doesnt seem like its gonna be updated any time soon :/

thanks man.
by looks the same, do you mean as the standard theme that comes with ImageViewer?
The only thing I changed was:
...moved the favorite icon
...changed the headers
...allowed more room for viewing images
...customized dropdown menu
...removed scrollbar
...changed pressed button
...changed font size, location and type
I did not touch the header buttons because I thought they looked good.
Are you not seeing my changes?
if you cant, you may have loaded PCMImageViewer once before using my theme. In that case, you will have to go into the folder where the .exe is, and there is a usersetting file or something like that, you have to delete that.
hope that helps

Amazing work, htctoucher
one of the best graphic designs i have ever seen (excluding some wisbar designs ...)
Is there a Keyboard skin that matches the blue theme or is it just the black keyboard? I downloaded the blue-theme PocketCM file and followed the directions, but the skin for the keyboard looks black. Is that correct or am I doing something wrong?
I think im retarded, im stuck on the RLToday thingon changing it and stuff...Help!

have rltoday activated on your today screen (windows mobile options-->today-->today items-->check rltoday)
hold down on rltoday on your homescreen and a popup with "options" will come up. Go into options
here you will select the skin in a dropdown "wm7"
then go into apps and follow the instructions which should take you through it
when you are creating apps, to get the icons to show, you have to define custom icons to the ones that are in the wm7 folder on your device
hope that helps
(to quote use the little quotation icon on the posting toolbar where the font styles etc are (haha))

@ HTCTOUCHER
It says mortscript cannot be opened. even after three installs...am i installing the wrong 1 or what? i installed the ppc cab..hey thnks for the help btw
Awesome work @ htctoucher !!!
I like this rlToday Theme a lot.
I worked self on an WM7 Theme for it (base was your older version from forum), but this is very...very...did i say it ? very great
Is it possible for you to make a "white" touched WM 7 ? White background with black letters a.s.o. ?
I worked on an script for me, that changes the theme on any time you want, ex. on evening darker, on daylight much lighter theme..
Best regards !
another question...is there a way i can change the sms app, i dnt use the 1 that is predestined...i installed something else
Hi guys.
So many of you have requested the original Diamond gridded wallpaper before that I decided to copy it from my wife’s Diamond. Here it is in 240 – 320 (Kaiser)
The file is in .png format, so you won’t see the grid in normal (pc) viewing. Also, the image is about 5% darker than displayed on the Diamond…never the less…it looks great.
For Manilla 2D users – disable TouchFLO, coppy the file to the Main Windows folder, overwrite, start touchFLO again, and the default black gridded Diamond wallpaper or “background” should be seen.
…Or, use the file in any way that you want.

thanks bro..
is there any application that can make a High Resolution Wallpaper for the VGA screen device like the one for the WVGA screen device in the blackstone forum?
link to the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503511
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470798
the cfc editor also works for our VGA resolutions.
steps:
turn off manila
under device, go and patch manila
then under the tf3d, apply the xbmod patch (if that's what you're using)
then tf3d > create background
photoshop your image to the given sizes. (choose vga landscape or portrait to see sizes)
load up the image and save. it will split the images. you can do this for both portrait and landscape (i have different backgrounds for each now)
after you load up your images and they show up on the panel on the left, hit CTRL-F.
yes to compression, yes to trim.
then transfer to device. although keep backups of the files being replaced incase anything goes wrong.
this replaces your default background. so just go to settings and choose to use default bg and that's it. one side-effect is that i have backgrounds on all tabs now. not that i'm complaining.
woot, finally high quality backgrounds. those grainy bg's from before were really getting to me. this makes changing backgrounds harder, but i like my quality.
