i also put it under there because i was unsure but i still don't see it 'htchome' as a theme (start-setting-today-appearance).
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
its a theme for batterystatus, not the regular device. you have to select it as a theme in the batterystatus settings, its in the advanced tab
[Windows Mobile Themes] omair2005:
got it! thanks a lot.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mmick:
I installed your pack but the background was never 100% transparent and I never knew where to shut it off the semi-transparency (though I changed a lot of settings)

I unninstalled all apps but now I have a problem! Bottom bar (with 2 soft keys) do not appear!!! What can I do?
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
I could have helped you with the background before you uninstalled but oh well. You have to open the picture on your pocket pc and go to options and set as today background, then set the transparency to 0%

for the softkeys you need to delete the program dcinobar.exe and or just delete the the shortcut in your windows/startup folder and then soft reset
[Windows Mobile Themes] mmick:
Thanks! It worked well!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] kidnamedAlbert:
can someone help me?

i dont know what im going wrong but i have wrong fonts and background doesnt show on second tab
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
for the font problem check post #312.

and set this picture as your today background:
[Windows Mobile Themes] BustedNuts1:
Anybody cab'd this up yet?
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
there is no one .cab that will install this theme, it works with multiple today plugins so it would be extremely hard to make. I dont see it ever happening sorry.

On a happier note, this theme is not by any means hard to install. Follow my directions to the best of your abilitiy and if you run into a problem all you have to do is post a screenshot and I will help you, I dont mind answering your questions.
[Windows Mobile Themes] BustedNuts1:
That makes sense, I just didn't know if there was a way to cab up the theme and just say make sure you have the 3 programs installed.

Anyways, one question. Which program counts missed calls, sms, email, etc?
[Windows Mobile Themes] spanglmd:
I spent over an hour trying to get this theme to work. Couldn't copy those 3 htc home files after following the directions, weather/phone tabs didn't work in ultimatelaunch. Had to hard reset after it kept freezing and lost all the apps I had installed.

Make this LESS confusing and it would be more intriguing to me. Right now I'm just frustrated as all hell from it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
i installed all those programs but im not sure what im doing wrong. i have never had those buttons at the bottom of the screen and i would like to know just how to get them. Because to be honest i cant be bothered with those nice themes now because its so confusing to install

but i still think there great themes
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
First off how about you make yourself LESS demanding, I make these themes and help people in my spare time, I don't make any money from it so making demands such as this and getting mad about it isn't going to win you any help from me.

I have said many times in this thread to multiple people that if they have problems they can post a screen shot and I will help them to complete the theme on their device. You performed a hard reset without asking me at all for help. THAT was your problem.

Now, if you want to try this theme again in the future then you need a little reality check. I am not a robot that just takes orders from other people on the internet and has no life. I do this as a hobby. I don't expect you to be able to install this perfectly and thats what I am here for, to help you out so you can get the look you desire. If you took the time to scan through this thread you would see that I have been helping people with this theme the entire way through. I have also helped them with the same problems that you have listed and I could have helped you if only you had asked before you did a hard reset.
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
Which theme's buttons are you talking about? Aurora or Manila? For both of them the buttons on the bottom are a skinned batterystatus, you have to make sure that you have batterystatus installed and then go to options for batterystatus and select the correct theme. For Manila the theme file is htc_clear2.xml and for aurora it is htc_clear.xml
[Windows Mobile Themes] mario23:
If the directions are followed, one shouldn't have any problems.

Hey spence any chance I did something wrong with the HTC fill file?

I copied the files into the HTC Home folder but can't seem to get rid of the tab.

Other than that, the theme is working flawlessly.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
Do you want the profiles tab showing or weather? If you want weather then download htc home customizer and change the active tab to just weather.

If not then nevermind. Secondly, It would be extremely hard to actually remove that bottom tab from htc home because it would involve editing the .dll so to get rid of it I just put a margin on the top of the plugin until the tab disappears. To do this go in your ultimatelaunchconfig and go to the tab where your htc home is located. tap on the "tab" tab at the top of the screen and you will see were it shows the margin, the one you want to edit is called margin top/bottom I believe. Change it to something like 20 until the tab dissapears
[Windows Mobile Themes] mario23:
That will work...thanks.

I'm using Weather Panel on another tab and liked this profiles tab in HTC Home so wanted to use that.
[Windows Mobile Themes] BustedNuts1:
which program counts the missed calls, sms, voicemail, and email? Is that batterystatus? When you push one of those buttons does it take you to the corresponding program? If so, is there a way to just install that part of your theme.

(I was specifically looking at the aurora theme.)

(I think I speak for everyone that has been helped by you. Thanks for the great theme and your patience and willingness to help.)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Latentk:
I just wanted to say thanks Spence, looks and works great. Just wish more Mobile software out there was free... Dissapoints me someone out there wont take initiative and try and NOT price gouge poor college students. Excellent software. And I cant wait for V 3.0
[Windows Mobile Themes] beefcakeb0:
I read and read and warily jumped in to it I have aroura pretty good just using battery status ultimate launcher kept saying I had to activate and when I did it still didn't work but im ok with that it looks great but with a few flaws how do I exactly edit to put my own apps on the lg buttons and move them to bottom and my htc home doesn't have a tab under today screen it just has a check in the list hope you can help.... once I get all the icons and situated I'll try ultimate launch again
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
Yes, it is part of batterystatus and yes you can use just that part of the theme. Just install the theme in your batteystatus folder and tap/hold on batterystatus on your today screen until the dialog box pops up, go to show rows and deselect everything except the messages row. And yes they do take you to the corresponding box

@latentk,

thanks a lot bro I appreciate all the support I get
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
You can edit the paths to lg buttons by editing the xml file for it. and post a screenshot of your screen so I can furthur understand what you are talking about
[Windows Mobile Themes] beefcakeb0:
i just dont know how to edit do you have some edits i could usee i would much appreciate it the only screenshot app i have is for a pc and i dont have one right now is there a cab for screen capture ? thanx for all the great work
[Windows Mobile Themes] beefcakeb0:
and how hard is it to move the buttons to the bottom ? thanx again
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
to move the bottoms bottom yuou have to install a program called spacer2, to chenge the xml file just open it up on your ppc, open itup and then change the paths to the butonst that you desire.
[Windows Mobile Themes] summershit:
Hi guys. Can someone give a response on this? If it can not be done that is fine.
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
if you change the path it can't be start menu\programs\xxx.exe it has to be windows\start menu\programs\xxx.exe
[Windows Mobile Themes] beefcakeb0:
thanx for the spacer info and so i understand about needing to edit xml but dont know the first thing about actually editing some direction would be appreciated a demo would help

also your the ****
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
ok, if you open the .xml file you will see an area called <!--buttons--> that there are four different paths with are assigned to each one of these. For instance the area in the button sections you should see somehing called "windows\calender.exe" for the path for the first calender button. Change this to whatever you like you just have to figure out where exacty the .exe if for the file you want to replace it with. If if is in your program files folder than you would write "windows\program files\xxxx.exe" with the xxxx being the name of whatever program you pick.
[Windows Mobile Themes] beefcakeb0:
*do you have to use a pc to edit it* ignore this

is that s2u2 the spacer or just the background ?

are your lg buttons part of the battery status if so is there a way to split the messages and the buttons with the spacer ?

thanx a bunch

ps how bads it look?

sorry i reread and i am now editing the xml
[Windows Mobile Themes] met3ora:
Hey there. My BatteryStatus isn't working correctly. The skin isn't showing correctly, it looks as if the images aren't there (but they are). Also, when I go to uncheck rows, I get Row 1, Row 2...until Row 6, and no "Messages" row.

I do have to say though, I'm using a built in BatteryStatus version because I can't install your version over it (it crashes the phone). The version is 1.04.203 beta4, though, so it should be the same. Help?

edit: Using Alex's ROM v6.0 WM6.1 Cube
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
well thats the reason, you need a newer build of batterystatus. I know people with batterystatus built into their roms and they can still upgrade to the higher version, I dont know what the problem is in your case, sorry
[Windows Mobile Themes] youngteck:
having probles from step one

i have read every page of this post because i want to have the aurora black theme on my tmobile wing but i dont have a masters in htc pocket pc programing like some of you lol and i dont understand how 2 install the theme for instance when it is said in the instructions to "put the htc home.xml and the htchomeskin folder in your batterystatus folder in the windows directory." does that mean extract the zip files into the new file i dont understand it can someone explain a step by step super simple way to install the skin thanx
[Windows Mobile Themes] DaniWard:
Hi all

first of all, i want to give thanks for this theme! it's great, good work.

then i want to tell you my problem using Aurora Theme I think I installed it in the same way as I had red in the txt and in this board.

The elements are ok they are as I want but the problem is with the color is as it was a white frame with 20% of transparency... i don't know how to explain it in english jejeje Well i left you an screenshoot so you can see it.

I hope you can help me, thanks for all!

see you
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vukile:
Maybe the weather plugin in the Manila could be BSWeather,I get an error when I try to open it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
find the picture you want to set as the background and open it on your ppc. hit menu or options i forget which one it is in the bottom left corner of the screen and then tap set as today background, when it asks for the transparency put 0%. that should solve your problem
[Windows Mobile Themes] DaniWard:
Hi! thanks for the answer, i try it but it dosn't asked me for transparency, simply set the image as background, I use an HTC ELFIN XL with rom 2.26.110.51.C28 with WM 6.1
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
what picture viewer are you using?
[Windows Mobile Themes] DaniWard:
Ohhh sorry sorry!! Now it's perfect thanks

i was wrong I use the contextual menu of the file explorer when a read your last post I red the first one twice and I did it well.

Thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Themes] beefcakeb0:
i dont suppose theres any way the put space between the battery stattus messages and the lg buttons are there unless there is another set of buttons elsewhere since you said 'untick everything except messages'

i suck i thought i had it pretty ok but once i try to get further progressing i find out my screen is nothing like you intended i do like the clear better though
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
no you can't put a space in between them. THey are both a seperate row in batterystatus. If you put a row in between them that was empty it would create a space but you would not be able to fill the space with any other today plugin
[Windows Mobile Themes] beefcakeb0:
i would just like to kinda keep the status stuff can you rearrange it to where the buttons are bottom and maybe that tray launcher from bottom to above buttons and possibly leave the memory in there somewhere? if youd like a donation id pitch a few

edit:sorry i didnt mean to make that sound like a request just asking if its possible and if so maybe edit instructions:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] JokeZony0u:
perhaps it was already asked, but i was wondering how many much RAM it takes to run all those at the same time, rlToday, ultimatelaunch and so on
[Windows Mobile Themes] webdk:
Hey guys you can use this on Kaiser right? and there is no cab for this yet correct?
[Windows Mobile Themes] trickyhenry:
Donations for .cab ?

I'll happily donate £20.00 if a .cab does all the work. This is the best looking home plugin i've ever seen!
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
could you possibly make a little drawing in ms paint to clarify what you want done, I'm a little confused.

and also, requests are fine with me :) its demands that I don't like

For me running ultimatelaunch, rlToday, and batterystatus together is a little under 2mb, very bearable in my opinion

and to the above posters asking about a .cab file for this I have been working on it but I'm not in experienced in .cab building, if you guys know somebody that does then please do let me know. I would love to make it easier to install.

**also to everyone thanks for offering the donations but I will not accept any. I do this as a hobby and compliments to me mean more than a donation.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mateotti:
Delete sms and missed call icons of battery status

I replace the original rltoday skin by the one present in focaldesign2 theme wich is very nice http://www.focaldesign.be/HTC/?see=Focaldesign2. So i don't need anymore sms and missed called icons of batttery status. Anybody knows how to delete its but let the bottom bar.

is there a way to get the appointments to show on the main screen anywhere? it would be cool if it could display across the top where the other clock is
[Windows Mobile Themes] Quadman:
Will either of these themes work with my VW xv6900? they are realy cool.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kwill:
hold down on that row till the battery status options comes up. under show rows uncheck messages.

That's done! Thanks!

[Windows Mobile Themes] 6Phoenix6:
hey

i've got the problem that the traybar by the softkeys is visible

in battery status the traylaunch is disabled

i'm using windows mobile 6.1 19900 [http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=390603]

any ideas how to disable the traybar?

in the windows\startup folder there are no shortcuts to the bar
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
you have to install a newer version of batterystatus
[Windows Mobile Themes] kwill:
i installed wisbar advance 3, just to give it a try and now i have this scroll bar on the side. i disabled any softkeys from wa3 and anything else i could think of. but, no luck. just checking as i figured a few people would probably be using it with the few options there are :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] dharvey4651:
Please accept my apologies if this question has already been asked in this thread but I really don't feel like searching through a dozen or so pages for one simple answer and yes, maybe that is lazy but I'm in a very lethargic mood today.

Is this theme compatible with the Sprint Touch(HTC Vogue)? The processor is very different(MSM7500 400Mhz) than that of the GSM Touch so I'm not sure I can use batterystatus even if it is just going to be themed and not interacting with the processor.

Thanks, Dan.

EDIT:: Took the risk. Everything installs ok but I am having some problems.

As mentioned above, I own a Vogue. I have the home plugin installed on my device as it comes on it.

The home tab has a very crappy looking analog clock on it.

The apps page is ok, I haven't configured it yet.

The phone tab seems fine, I haven't configured that yet either.

The weather Tab displays the ENTIRE HTC HOME PLUGIN, not the weather. Anyone have a fix for this?

I am going to leave this setup installed but am not going to use it until a fix for the problem mentioned above is fixed.
[Windows Mobile Themes] 6Phoenix6:
go to options and then today, disable the htc home item and then use htc customizer or the today htc options to disable all pages so that only weather is enabled, then enable the htc home item again and you will see the weather

sry for a bad english
[Windows Mobile Themes] dharvey4651:
That actually worked. Thanks so much!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] dharvey4651:
Yes they work for me and I have a Sprint Vogue. You just need to make sure you stay away from the CPU options as our devices are incompatible with the OMAP Clock Overclocking software built into batterystatus.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Porschefb61:
???????????????????

Maybe I am just retarded but I just got my mogul and the aurora would be amazing to put on it but i tried everything the instuctions said and it didnt even come out close....is there an all-in-one install or an extremely detailed instruction manual to doing this? I know nothing about this stuff. Thanks in advance for any help. Email me at Porschefb61@gmail.com Thanks a lot!
[Windows Mobile Themes] TheChampJT:
The installation steps are in post #1, you ususally will find all the useful info in the first post of a thread. Also, if you are having a problem, we can't help you if you don't elaborate on the issue.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Porschefb61:
My Problem

Alright I did read the instructions on the first post. I followed them perfectly and i think there are some steps missing. For example the is no htc home theme on the today settings, theres only 2 htc home files, and on top of that there is no elaboration on what we have to do with all the .CAB files once installed. I just assumed that once you follow the instructions on the first post that it would automatically look like the Aurora theme. Let me know what Im doing wrong. Thanks. And again my email is Porschefb61@gmail.com
[Windows Mobile Themes] kwill:
theres also a cab install someone posted, but i cant remember which page.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kwill:
would others please post other clocks theyve managed to put in rltoday or at least how you went about doing it. ive tried just using some other clocks made for rltoday with no successs. thanks much
[Windows Mobile Themes] kwill:
the instruction are perfectly correct as i just used them and dont believe there was any varying from them. could you explain a little more what is actually happening or wrong. thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] Porschefb61:
I just give up with this. If you find the page the .CAB file is on that will install everything then let me know. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] gthing:
Is that true? i searched around a bit - but didn't see anything.

The install instructions are a bit weird, in that they ask you to install all this stuff but don't link out to any of it and searching the boards or google doesn't even bring up the file you're supposed to use for step 1.

The thread author should post the cab file on the first page, if it does indeed exist.
[Windows Mobile Themes] icet717:
hey i have the same problem with the weather tab,, it keeps showing my htc home plugin and i did disable everything except weather in the hhc .. even when i set the htc home plugin on it still shows home tab first.. and did anybody figure out how to take out the 4 not activated?? please help
[Windows Mobile Themes] kwill:
its in post 236. i did take some searching through each page. so, ive done the hard work for you. its in moe's signature i believe. but, remember, you still have do do some confguration. this installs everything where its supposed to go. GOOD LUCK!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
the directions are correct, htc home is not a theme for your today screen it is a theme for batterystatus.

Correct.. instructions are not absolutely clear.. here is where you would find htchome for batterystatus:
