how to make your own theme? - Windows Mobile Themes

i ve searched and did not find anything that makes sense.
usually for a board this big theres few stickies for everything.
am i looking in a wrong part of the forum?
i want to make my own theme for touch pro 2 and i did not find any usefullinfo in rhodium or winmo themes sections.
can someone give me a link if theres in fact a topic covering it?

I have not any link, but for me the best way to create a theme is downloading one made for other people and then editing these files and changing them to my own files.
Of course you will need some tools like a cab manager software like Wince to see wich files are in every cab you downloaded.

so theres no theme creator for windows mobile?

Ummmmm... maybe you wanna try the Fuze forum. This forum is for the Htc dream. The dream runs android for the OS, many users in this forum have little or no experience with windows mobile.
.......and some of us abore microsoft.
Abhore. Windows Mobile can eat [fill in this blank with whatever comes to your imagination].

i don think you can use flash android dosent support it (yet)
btw questions go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=507
can anyone move this to the DREAM Q&A??
If u want to make a theme, then u dont need nor java or flash. All u need is photoshop to make the png's and then import them into the xml files. I dont know exactly which ones but you can ask around....
no not themes i mean like animation of when you close and open apps and when you move from one place to another

i believe these are .xmls
Start asking your questions in the right sub-forum (Q&A) (Theme) or even in (General), or i will be forced to ban you for 3 days or till you learn.
Thanks
Thread Trashed!!
thank you kind sir!

Weather forecast, women animation perhaps

I posted this Idea on PPCgeeks and was told to better post it here since all the GREAT developpers are here.
What would be really cool, if some developer would mod/tweak the weather tab or the weather on home screen with women animation for sene 2.1 and 2.5.
Example:
1-Sunny - an animated swimming suit model
2-Cold - a animated women with white coat on
3-Windy - animated Marilyn Monroe with her signature pic, flying white dress
I think that would be nice and an extreme hit.
Clever idea.
Not a developer, but most of the weather apps simply use a different numbered .png file for each condition. It would be fairly easy to replace them with static images of different woman pictures. The animation may be a bit trickier...
hahaha... I like the idea
Great idea. i hope it will be done some day=)
Most of the work for this would be more graphical and skinning then actual software development.
So i moved this thread.

You're so right ! people want skin and very graphic descriptions
I can help with the image editing if anyone can tell me details on what would need to be done
Unfortunately I can't tell you anything about it, but you could ask HERE or even track down and ask directly the 2 users who made the mods you can find in post 5 of that thread. Just read a few pages back from the end.

well can be done with towolfs 3d weather... it uses the swf file for the animation so you need to make appropriate swf file and change it....
wow~i like this idea!! this is so cool
looking forward for this
Woah...
This is an awesome idea, and I can't WAIT until this is done. I'll def be following this thread. Let's make it happen.
and maybe a version for those of us that like the boy types?

err, can it possibly be that you are in the wrong subforum? just checking your sig I mean...
well, I'm no chef so I can only be vague about it, but you need a kitchen for the device, add basic Wm version, apps and progs and also manila version (and probably something more as well) and cook it
adding it on a cooked rom is somewhat more complicated (if possible at all); i seem to remember a thread offering add-on like manila as a cab, but I'm not exactly sure about it
there is a lot of qualified folks here who are better able to answer that, so i will move the thread to general for continued input, but would also advice an visiting Chef Central (dev/chef support there) and do some reading/searching there
best
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general/q&a

It's impossible to install Manila with CABS! Have been discussed more times on the forum..... you can ONLY add manila and its components by cooking all its files and dependencies on a new rom!
exactly, there is a cab here on xda with manila/sense2.5 but i wont recommend it due to the fact that many dependencies were left out, meaning only some stuff works... and those manila/sense cabs takes over 20 mins to install... you can task29, flash a rom and setup in that same 20 minutes
thx both
@spike at least now I know I'm not completely daft

[THEME IDEA] symbian navy theme for android?

Hi everybody!
I'm not sure if i should have started this threat in Q&A section or here, so I'm sorry if i chose the wrong place.
I used to have a nokia symbian phone before my current sgs and there was this beautiful theme named "navy" made by "babi" which i loved the most, and ive lately been trying to get it for android, so i made a lil online research about getting the pictures outta the sis file and finally i made it, but the thing is that those are svg files and all are invalid.... now i dont know what is wrong but i really want this theme to happen soooooooo badly, so is there anyone who can validate those svg files or i dont know, help me in some ways? i think it will make a WONDERFUL theme.
The svgs, the theme and a picture of the theme are attached to this post but im also putting a link to the website where you can get more info about the theme and it's creator, or if you would like to see other versions:
