How can i hack/modify the HTC home plugin?

I've already found how to change the order of tabs (and which tabs), by changing a registry key.
Does anyone know/remember how i can change the music tab from linking to WMP instead of the (horrible) audiomanager ?
Tips very much appreciated...

Tell more about that registry keys...

Maybe you can try this :

And let us know if it is working fine

Thanks my friend, it's fine...

Thanks....this works great !

Got amazing results for myself, very happy. Thanks for the work.

Here is what I got:
Removed the 5th tab, didn't use it
Changed the clock to something much more modern
Weather now works ok for me. had a problem before, probably because of the Hebrew Add On.
Icons by Schaps

Nice ...
However, is it possible to reduce the height of the clock?
Because in my opinion, it is TOO BIG ! ... I prefer to add more space for the appointments, tasks, etc ...
Also, is it possible to DUPLICATE the program shortcut tab ?

I agree with the first request. I also do not think the clock should be so big. Don't know if there is an answer, I think it is part of the design.

Third! on the size of the clock
When you only have a couple of inches of screen real estate its ridiculous to have a clock you can read from 3 miles!

yeah, the clock is WAY too big.

I was thinking the same about the clock. I think they overdid it, especially while in landscape mode. Blocks the whole screen

I'd love to get rid of the clock. I like LVM better. Also is there a way to unpin the plugin?

Look at post #3 at the top of this thread

That HTC customizer app is pretty handy. It allowed me to unpin the plugin so now the clock size isnt really a isue. Thanks.

Look at alternative home replacements. I know LauncherPro and Zeam offer the ability to change the number of columns in the application launcher, that would reduce the extraneous white space.

Wow.... yea I should have thought that.... for some reason I thought coding was involved... silly N00b me

HTC Sense transparency

Hey boys and girls I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to get transparency on HTC sense, specifically on the bottom navigation bar.
I've been searching around but the only things I could find were non-htc sense home screen managers alternatives.
That's pretty much the only thing that annoys me about sense (the huge Phone and useless "+" button) but I love the 7 screens and the widgets so I wouldn't replace it with an alternative.
Thanks in advance!

To change the "+" button check out the marvelous jpool's thread here-

And to make Rosie transparent you'll have to crack open htc resources framework and edit the images inside, if you want post up your framework and ill edit it for you.

If you are on VillainROM12 there are a few themes [URL="http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/forumdisplay.php?96-VillainROM-12-Themes]here[/URL]
However, I do recall seeing a mod which allows 5 sections on the bar, but I can't remember where it was, I'll have a look and get back to you

5 sections? On the Rosie Nav Bar? Now that would be interesting. If you find the mod let me know

[Q] Hand drawn style music widget

Hope you guys can help. I have several different music players on my Thunderbolt (Cubed, Jukefox, Mortplayer, Winamp, Poweramp, Mixzing) and Phantom Player control widget controling the stock Android music player. Its the closest I have found to what I would love to have.
What I would like to know is this:
Is there a music control widget that looks more like someone scribbled or doodled the controls on a sheet of paper, something that looks hand drawn? No background, and the ability to use custom text for album name and/or artist name?
What I am trying to do (im not rooted, so no pictures) is make my GoLauncher look like a note pad. I am currently using Desktop VisualizeR and SimpleText to make my icons look like they are written in lazy handwritting. And I am OK with the Minimilistic text for clock, battery and weather being more stocky. I am also using Simple Calendar and allthough its also stocky, its working.
I have the wallpaper, and my home page is really close, just would like to know if there is a widget for music control that allows that doodled, hand drawn look? Same with a clock and calender widget too?
thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.

for the clock i guess you could use mclock. if there is no handdrawn theme available there's a topic with instructions on how to make one

Is the topic for those of us that know nothing about programming and have limited resources for this kind of thing? And where is this topic?

you might find some useful things here
or you can look here: http://www.maroonedsoftware.com/index.php?title=Main_Page it's an mclock reference
you might look for a template with the functionality you want and change the font to handdrawn

Touch Wiz Ux Mod

I am looking to mod the Touch Wiz Ux launcher to have a centered AllApps Button. Instead of all the way to the right, I have seen other people do this to the launcher before, but i cant seem to Figure our where or how to make this possible. Would greatly Appreciate it if you could, lend any sort of help to which xml or what needs to be done thanks. I am also looking to change it so you can put 5x5 apps on the pages, i seen this done. Not the App drawer 5x5, that already posted, but the actual launcher page, having the ability to have 5 apps by 5 apps. If there is an xml or somebody knows which one i need to edit for that as well it would be great appreciated.
