@ spencepu3 :

Thanks for the great skins and for taking the time to put all the needed items together for everyone!

@ Everyone Posting or using this skin:

spencepu3 did all of us a huge favor by putting all the items & directions needed to get this skin running in an easy/neat little package. But remember that he made this skin using apps such as RLToday, Ultimate Launcher & Battery Status and each of those apps have may options to each of them. It would be best for everyone if you search for the app that you having problems with and figure out how to make any changes \ edits. Instead of beating on spencepu3 with questions that can\have been answered in many other threads. I'm sure spencepu3 will help out but something things are best learned rather than just handed out.

Here are a few links for those of us who are afraid to use the the search function:

RLtoday Forum / Wiki

Ultimate Launcher (This thread started as a question about tabbed today plugins, but became a UL info thread)

BatteryStatus / XDA Thread about it.

Hope this helps.

Does it works on....VGA Screens?
[Windows Mobile Themes] bartybet:
Ditto on a tytn running 6.1.
[Windows Mobile Themes] bartybet:
I used the one you posted somewhere else. freezes and eventually hard reset to just get the ppc working again.
[Windows Mobile Themes] robpet2:
is there a certain battery status program i should use ???
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sergio_Bandeira:
I'm with Windows Mobile 6.1.

After softreset appears a box saying "'dciNoBar' is not a valid Pocket PC application.

It's the rlToday that make the system crash because the system crashed after I enable it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] robpet2:
okay i got dcboinar is not a valid ppc application
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sergio_Bandeira:
Tell me, it is supposed to install anything more besides the "SH4Y_s_Manila-Aurora_Today_Installer-FINAL.CAB"?

Anyone have installed Aurora in a HTC Himalaya device?
[Windows Mobile Themes] bartybet:
Im thinking this isnt too final.
[Windows Mobile Themes] robpet2:
this is not working on my phone at all - about to uninstall
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dmoney5150:
following those steps gives me the error message dcinobar is not a valid pocket pc application, also even after a hard reset none of the today items appear when i select them.

:( but keep working on it, its a awesome theme and im glad people like yourself are trying to hook us up :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] star-star:
i use Spbpocket plus
[Windows Mobile Themes] Svein10:
I have the same problem:(
[Windows Mobile Themes] SH4YD33:
Well guys, I've installed this on 3 devices and they have all worked. After flashing many ROMS. I'm not sure what the problem is as far as it sometimes working and sometimes not working. I'l be looking into why you guys are having some problems. But, from what i've heard its best that you install this directly after a hard-reset or on a CLEAN rom. Also, it may come to having to install the specific plugins first then having a .cab to install the skins.

As far as dcinobar.exe throwing errors, your device will need to be application unlocked. You can do this with a progam like advanced config, or with the cab posted below.
[Windows Mobile Themes] bartybet:
My phone is unlocked. So thats not why I am getting a not a valid application with the dcinobar. I have tried 3 times to get it working, no dice. But I do see I am not alone in this.

Now what do you mean about "come to having to install certain plug ins first"? Did I miss that in the instructions? I installed the cab files that said they did it all.
[Windows Mobile Themes] bgraham7686:
Question

ok i've read all 60 pagews but the questions that i have i haven't seen the answers too............1. my screen keeps saying not activated. How do i remove that? if i click refresh ini it goes away but it pops up every 2 minutes. 2. What was the final solution for those whose bottom icons dont show the numbers when they get a new text, email, or missed call?
[Windows Mobile Themes] clockcycle:
You have to register ultimate launcher to make that go away.

-CC
[Windows Mobile Themes] yodah:
UltimateLaunch has not been activated. It is nagware. Go to the UltimateLaunch config and on the last tab there is an activation code you need to confirm to remove the "not activated" message.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Knumb:
well the cab didn't work on 2 different ROMs....I will give it a go installing each plugin separately...
[Windows Mobile Themes] clockcycle:
Used this, same error dcinobar not a valid app..

-CC
[Windows Mobile Themes] bgraham7686:
what do i do to confirm that code? whenever i push activate it goes away for a lil bit but then it comes back so what do I do with those numbers?
[Windows Mobile Themes] SH4YD33:
Okay.. Everyone wait on installing the .CAB unelss you own a HTC Kaiser. The cab i build was from that phone.

For everyone else .CABS were posted by the OP. If you missed them then you can download them here. These should work for you.

http://asapload.com/113252

If you own a Kaiser post if it works for you. I've flashed every ROM for that phone and my .CAB installs perfectly.
[Windows Mobile Themes] newone757:
just install it manually

ive had zero problems on my mogul and the time wasted with this cab you coulda already had it working by now. plus youll learn more about your phone
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dmoney5150:
Well i have a Kaiser and not been able to install it correctly, i can follow instructions

can you let us know which cooked roms you have had success with? maybe thats the problem?
[Windows Mobile Themes] edgie168:
I've found that without the other htc_clear that someone else posted earlier in the thread (and editing it a little), I cannot get the missed call/vm/sms-mms/email count to display correctly. And I still can't get the battery indicator to replace my start menu button either.

Running dutty's hybrid v2.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dmoney5150:
that somewhat works, i have the clock and thats about it everything else is not working properly, lol im very happy CLOCK DOWN :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] SH4YD33:
This is the problem.. I've implemented it inside of the .CAB file but i need to make a OEM package that can be cooked into the phone.

Install the single .CABS.
[Windows Mobile Themes] roos_t:
I also have a Kaiser. The first cab u made for the Aurora skin worked perfect. But the last one, the final cab, it doesn't work. I'm running on Dutty's latest ROM.

After the installation of the final cab, after the reboot, the first thing that pops up is the "dciNobar is not a valid pocket pc application" message. dciNobar was working before that just beautifully when it came with the first Aurora cab, but now it's not working. Next thing is, that when you go to the settings/personal/today/ items ... there's only rltoday, no ultimatelaunch, and no batterystatus.

the rltoday isn't working either... u enable...but it doesn't show on the today screen. it's just an empty space on the upper part of the screen where the rltoday is supposed to display.

The rltoday ini settings file is also messed up. I tried to open it with notepad it said it's too big and opened it with pocketword instead... and it was all wierd symbols all over. maybe if you can upload the proper rltoday ini file we can fix it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] edgie168:
Tried your cab, but I have the same problem a few other folks have -- rltoday, et. all don't show up in my today settings, plus the not a valid app issue (regardless of what i did).

Weird.
[Windows Mobile Themes] speckledpig:
Well dammit. I got the abovementioned errors on my Hermes; when I uninstalled the CAB I got a "this didn't uninstall everything....remove from list anyway?" message.

Then when I soft reset I can't see HTC home. I have reenabled it in today setup and soft reset, still nothing.

My fault for installing a "not so final" CAB! :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Themes] mr_boogie:
Probably a back to basics step by step installer would be better than a full cab.

You should keep both of the options on how to install, cause people might want to learn how to do it properly....
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
Therss been a step by step since I made the skin, I never removed it. check the first post
[Windows Mobile Themes] mr_boogie:
Yes, but that does not work with the cabs.

I get rltoday to run, but with a strange clock (not the manila clock), the number of missed calls, emails and messages is allways 0 and is strange (it does show up small 0's there), and I have a bar on my screen.

Do I have to take out all the options in Battery status, and leave only the skin?
[Windows Mobile Themes] bartybet:
So whats the deal with this? Working?
[Windows Mobile Themes] ninja_unmatched:
weather tab issue

I cannot get the htc home customizer to disable the other tabs. Shows in the program to be disabled but still shows up. What to do? Also, while installing aurora there are three images that are to be installed to the windows folder. My sprint touch will not copy over the files. I tried with Resco Explorer and it is not working either. It says that the files are in ROM. Any input to help would be appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Themes] aznmasterpiece:
Doesn't work on my Kaiser

I installed the cab and it didn't work. I also followed ur instructions and that did not work either. My today screen does not show anything after all that. What am I doing wrong? I'm using Dutty's WWE6.1 ROM.
[Windows Mobile Themes] LiquidSolstice:
Excellent!

Works....VERY WELL.

Seriously, don't mess with all this single file cab business. Do it manually, and follow the instructions. You'll save yourself a lot of headaches.

At any rate, I only want to know why I can't pick Tasks and Calendar as a today plugin for my home tab?
[Windows Mobile Themes] benson1985:
how to install

I download the New single .cab installation and install it, is it all?
[Windows Mobile Themes] ninja_unmatched:
Okay I went to a site. http://weather.not2advanced.com/files/ and downloaded the htc home plugin from there by schen without the brightness patch, restarted phone, went to the Today options without the customizer an saw an extra tab for enabling and disabling the tabs. After that it worked and was able to update. I added the customizer after anyways so to make customizations as they come up.

I still need to find a way to copy the aurora files to the windows directory on the phone.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mateotti:
With some modifications.
[Windows Mobile Themes] DJorgio:
Has anybody actually got this running on a Kaiser, no luck for me... Looks great though..
[Windows Mobile Themes] palmbluetooth:
Hi, tried installing the cab on a touch cruise, it does not work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kwill:
look for calplus and taskplus. theyre both freeware. then you can add them as today plugins in ultimatelaunch. the built in task and calendar arent recognized as plugins by UL.

man, its memorial day!! here you go
[Windows Mobile Themes] kwill:
not kaiser, but tilt. same thing pretty much. and i havent tried the cab install, but i can agree with an above mentioned statement. use the manual install as i cant really see a cab making this too much easier to troubleshoot after the fact.
[Windows Mobile Themes] captkkk:
Hi Spence

Thanks so much for the inspiration, this is my screen shot, I have to say, with the HTC Home cut down to only showing the weather makes the whole screen more responsive!

Now my Touch v2 has this Tri-Plugins screen + Cube, the whole thing is very convenient :-)
[Windows Mobile Themes] samadhi23:
yeah this looks nice ... can u share it?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Silverfox1978:
Excellent! My Kaiser is totally ruined after installing this CAB.

Just a +1 on don't bother with it. :mad:
[Windows Mobile Themes] Synned:
Yup, cab bricked my phone 3 times, same thing:

Today screen is blank after install, there is no UL or batterystatus today items in settings, and setting rlToday to today freezes up the phone, can't even get to start menu.
[Windows Mobile Themes] edgie168:
It's really not difficult to install it manually...

Total Commander is your friend.
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
Guys I'm removing the .cab right now on the basis that I haven't heard it working for a single person yet, Don't blame me cuz I didn't make the .cab but this is why I didnt even want to try because it is a diffucult task. I suggest installing it manually it really isnt hard at all.

Unable to get rid of the today softkey bar!

I have read most of the pages. I dont think anybody has experieced this problem. Everything works fine, but I cannot completely get rid of the windows softkey bar on the today screen. I have dcinobar.exe in the windows folder and dcinobar.lnk in the windows/startup folder. The softkeys disappear but it is replaced by a black bar and when I open and close an application the softkeys of that application gets stuck on to the black bar until I open another application when it changes.

Anyone noticed this? Any fixes. I tried soft resetting several times. No luck. Thanks

Whats up guys...I'm trying to mess around with this theme a little bit and I'm running into a little trouble.

Screenshot:

I just got it almost exactly how I want it, but I'm having trouble getting the home screen to look the way I want it. The problem is, I cannot have icons and the clock co-exist, or it bumps the clock down.

I would like to have another button directly opposite of the volume button, for a redial. How could I make it so that they are aligned?

My ultimatelaunch file:

http://renaxgade.net/UltimateLaunch.ini

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Joe
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
You can either change the size of the clock or reduce the frame for UltimateLaunch.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jugulator:
Could anyone help me with this???
[Windows Mobile Themes] brodys2:
unltimate launcher

3. put the rltoday plugin in your ultimate launch tab and enable only ultimate launch and batterystatus in your settings/today/items screen.

Just having problems with this step.. any suggestions the can't seem to understand what to do here (newbie) Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Themes] JudasD:
Don't let anyone discourage you about this theme! This is by far the best theme i have seen for the PPC and it was the ONLY theme to ever make me switch from the regular boring today screen. Spence you rock!!

where do i get baterystatus and s2u2 id love to try this theme out
[Windows Mobile Themes] edgie168:
Uh, pretty much everything you need is in the very first post. :confused:

And if it isn't... http://xdaforums.com/search.php is your friend.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sidewind75:
yup i figured it out i only grabed the auroa2 and not the firsst one evertying is working

one other question what do we use for weather..mine says dll not found?
[Windows Mobile Themes] edgie168:
You'll have to fix that in ultimatelauncher.ini (or whatever the filename is). Default should be set to HTC Home, but I have mine pointed to WeatherPanel (since that's what I have installed and prefer).

If you're going to use HTC Home for weather, you'll have to configure your HTC Home to show ONLY the weather tab. I recommend using HTC Home Customizer for that, to make sure everything goes the way it should.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Synned:
Just wanted to share how awesome this looks with this BLACK skin for WA3.
[Windows Mobile Themes] abhayz:
Hi All

I have ATT Tilt. I have following issues with the Aurora theme

Everything is working fine except

1. I get "Not Activated" message on all the screen even though I have gone into ultimate launch and activated it like million times.

2. SMS, missed calls and emails on battery status does not get updated. It was working briefly and stopped working.

3. How do I changed the icons to point to the functions I want (for e.g. email icon to point messaging rather then outlook inbox

Thanks for the greate theme. I love it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jugulator:
1. You need to buy ultimate launcher or get an activation code "some how" :)

2. I am looking for this solution as well. The buttons light up but it doesnt show the counts as the screenshot in the first post show. Anyone knows how to get this to work. It never worked for me but it does light up

3. You need to edit .xml file within the batterystatus folder. Open it with notepad on your computer and edit. For example if you want to change the calendar to file explorer search (Ctrl F) for calendar and replace it with fexplore. Like this you can give any path for your different programs
[Windows Mobile Themes] abhayz:
Thanks man. I will have to look for activation code then.

I have few more questions if you dont't mind

How do I change the number of items that appear in one row under Apps Tab, I added 9 but only eight shows up. Four in each row.

And when I try to change the Phone Tab in Ultimate Launcher by selecting Phone->change->new, It doesnot give me option to choose entry from contacts but has only "shortcuts...." and "Today-plugin" to select. I cant add people like I used to, with HTC home. Is it possible at all to add contacts?

One more question, I tried using rlToday skin from Mateotti, Have you tried that? It just did not work for me. clock appeared but the Numeric time overlapped the date part and sms, call counts were little off screen.
[Windows Mobile Themes] edgie168:
Resize the icon pics, make them smaller, then they should fit. The trade-off, of course, is that now the icons will be smaller so you run the risk of tapping the wrong icon if you've got fat fingers. :)

I don't use the testtoday.cab anymore, I point "Phone" to HTC Home and through HHC, I disable all tabs except for contacts. I use WeatherPanel for my weather. All of this you'll have to edit in your ultimatelaunch .ini file.

I had to edit the skin file and resize the fonts, however it should not be overwriting what yours is, since rltoday is/should be the first plugin, which is supposed to place it above UL and BS.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mateotti:
Is it possible to delete the space between the bottom bar and the bottom of the screen because we can see a piece of wallpaper?
[Windows Mobile Themes] jugulator:
Yes. Just increase UL plugin height by 2 or 3 pixels in the settings-display tab. That should do the trick. I have question to you. As the above poster said I tried to install your rltoday skin but it doesnt work. The analog clock is OK but the digital one is so big that it doesnt fit the area allocated for rltoday. Any idea how to fix this?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mateotti:
Sorry, extract and copy the fonts here (http://dl.free.fr/jLBC2EgoU/font.rar) in windows directory. May be you will have to soft reset. I don't know wich one is it so paste all.

For my problem, i already tried but when i increase the height of UL, the scroll bar to the left appears.

I would like also that when i push a button, it doesn't change of aspect, no more hollow.

Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Themes] RideTheTube:
does the manila theme supports landscape?
[Windows Mobile Themes] DrewVS:
Please indicate screen resolution.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Americanmetal:
Is there anyway to customize the shortcuts that the battery status buttons lead to?
[Windows Mobile Themes] edgie168:
Edit the skin file.. htc_clear.xml (?) IIRC.
[Windows Mobile Themes] edgie168:
Well, since he's got pictures of a Touch Dual with both themes on, what does that tell you? :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Themes] mateotti:
Anyone has also a space in the bottom of the screen?
[Windows Mobile Themes] met3ora:
Just go to UltimateLaunch and make the fixed height a bit bigger.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jugulator:
I had your problem and all I did was increasing the width of the UL plugin. I think should consider changing 1 point at a time to prevent scroll bar from appearing.

And thanks now your theme is working after installing the fonts. But I notice that the font of Communication Manager and task manager also changed which I didnt like. Is there anyway to keep the font of these as original while changing the rltoday font. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sidewind75:
I love the aurora 2 theme. the only problem I have is when I set the aurora.jpg to the background its milky. im pretty sure its going transparent a little but I can't find where to change the transparency anyhelp would be appriciated
[Windows Mobile Themes] edgie168:
Sigh. It was actually explained in detail.

Use the built-in picture/video viewer and then set as b/g. There'll be an option for transparency, set it to 0.
[Windows Mobile Themes] abhayz:
Select "Pictures and videos" program and select the image there and from menu options choose "set as background" it should bring up a screen where you can make transparency as 0%
[Windows Mobile Themes] mateotti:
When I increase the heigh of UL of one pixel, the bar appears. I don't understand why is there this space! It is the same for both battery status Aurora theme.
