mortscript

Spence,

Could you post the cab file for Mortscript? Also I am having trouble getting battery status to work. I followed your instructions in the previous post, but it didnt work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
damn guys Im really sorry I accidently put the wrong xml file in there with the htc_clear folder. That explains why nobody got it to work...theres a new manila.zip put up now to fix it. Sorry!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Fresh2Death:
YAY!! i knew u would help us spencepu3 :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] briggs81:
Hey,

How do you install the manila theme.

The instructions in the first post reference all these files that are not in the Manilla.zip folder.

Also, the Manillia zip folder seems to contain a lot of duplicates. There are like two manila folders in there and htc_clear also.

Slightly confused!

Thanks

edit: nvm see the other instructions there under the pic, will give it another shot.
[Windows Mobile Themes] JohnQ:
@spencepu3

thank you anyway. i will try again.
[Windows Mobile Themes] briggs81:
I have the basics done for the manila theme but things don't look right. will have to play with it again tomorrow to see if i can fix it up :D. Hope i can get it working if i am not tired :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] Fresh2Death:
so far i love it. but the fonts on the rltoday plugin kinda run off my screen lol. imma take a screen shot and post so u can see what im saying. no biggy tho. jus 2% away from being perfect :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
yea I used a different font for rltoday, Ill attach it for you so you can use it.

edit: take this font from the .zip folder and put it in your windows/fonts folder. reload your rltoday theme (just tap/hold on the screen anywhere and hit reload theme). You may need to soft-reset too. This should fix your problem with the fonts
[Windows Mobile Themes] jonnykid:
Could someone tell me if I should be seeing numbers next to the missed call, txt, Email etc notifications in battery status. At the moment they just light up, but I have seen screenies from people who have numbers. Do I have to configure this somehow??

In the Aurora skin BTW

Thanks,

JOn
[Windows Mobile Themes] briggs81:
spencepu3,

if you have time, can you add a bit more of a description as to what does what in that manila screen shot? like what part is ultimate launch and what not and what do your icons point too?

Not to in depth or anything that would waste your time, but maybe just a bit of an explanation.

I am having a bit of a hard time figuring out what to use for what and where (i have the themes installed and they show up fine.
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
sure,

ultimate launch is the entire screen except for the batterystatus skin on the bottom, inside of ultimate launch is rltoday which basically the whole manila theme is made for.

Tapping the clock brings up the clock and alarms. under the clock is the calender line with appointments. the calender icon is live and should update itself with the date. tapping on it will bring up the program thumbcal which is the calender I use. tapping on your appointment will bring you to your appointments page in your calender.

under this is the notifications row. the first is missed calls, tapping it will bring you to your phone dialpad, after this is email which brings you to your outlook email account and the sms icon which when tapped brings up your sms messages

Finally the bottom is batterystatus. the first icon is a "home icon" , you can edit the path to this in the .xml but right now i have it set up to launch ifonz.exe, the next icon is the explorer/globe icon, i set this to launch file explorer. Then there is the icon I made which resembles a directors scene tablet (you know the thing they use and say "action!"... so appropriately i assigned this button to launch htc action screen. after this is the contacts icon which i set to launch icontact.exe, and the last one is the weather icon which i set to launch the now screen of spb mobile shell to show my weather.

I realize that not all of you use these programs so if you want to change them just open the htc_clear2.xml file and change the paths to these icons.
[Windows Mobile Themes] briggs81:
Thanks, that helps a lot. Hopefully will get it working today!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Fresh2Death:
thx spencepu3, u da man :cool:
[Windows Mobile Themes] acc0101:
Is the Manlia theme real?

Are you on it?
[Windows Mobile Themes] briggs81:
You have to read the post.
[Windows Mobile Themes] briggs81:
I have batterystatus extended 1.05, id ont see 1.04 on his site. It started giving me an annoying shareware pop up box so i've uninstalled it.

I have found a 1.04.202, i think that's a bit lower then what you suggested, will it matter?

actually, looks like i did have a 1.04 not a 1.05. Hmm.. i guess i will try a 1.05 from his site and not this 1.04.
[Windows Mobile Themes] briggs81:
what htc_clear file are we suppose to use?

htc_clear or htc_clear2?

the only plugin i have on today screen is ultimate launch. then in ultimate launch tabs settings i try to add batterystatus and rltoday as today plugins in tab but they don't appear anywhere.

maybe someone else had this problem, i read back later.
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
use htc_clear2

dont put batterystatus in ultimate launch just rltoday, so ultimatelaunch and batterystatus should be the only things enabled, (with rltoday in ultimatelaunch)

yes, what do you mean by am I on it?
[Windows Mobile Themes] leoiden:
hey spence

any future cab release to make it alot easier to install?:confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] briggs81:
darnu ultimate launch likes to lock up my device when itry to add new ab toay plugins.

what is skin.xml for?
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
probably not, but its really not that complicated at all (you basically just apply two skins i made)... just follow my instructions.
[Windows Mobile Themes] briggs81:
darnu ultimate launch likes to lock up my device when itry to add new ab toay plugins sometimes. anyhoo when i try to add battery status to UL it does nit add it :(

what is skin.xml for?
[Windows Mobile Themes] briggs81:
even tryiry to add devicelock or messaging to the today playin in ultimate launch does not work. somethiny is odd:(

i can now add it but its just a short cut to battery status.

oie, lots to try and figure out. have not seen the icons for the bottom yet. slowly making progress though.
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
when you click to add something in an ultimatelaunch tab are you clicking shortcut or today plugin, because you have to click today plugin. skin.xml is for rltoday
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
hey guys check out the new graphics on the first post so you can see what the themes really look like on a device. And give me some ideas if theres a certain theme or imitation theme you wanna see me do
[Windows Mobile Themes] inumaniac0601:
a little new to this

so im a little new to this and the manila looks great but i don't know how to install it on my phone if you could maybe help with a readme to explain or something similar id appreciate it
[Windows Mobile Themes] bereda:
spencepu3 hey i was wondering if it possible to edit your skin and make it like this concept from your skin and some other programs? i know some xml so ill try it and tell you how it comes out...
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
theres instructions in the first post

@bereda, are you asking for permission to edit my skin or are you asking me to do it for you? either way is fine
[Windows Mobile Themes] urox23:
Hi spencepu3, i was wondering when is the Aurora V3 come out? I love your theme. Add a really nice touch on my Samsung i760
[Windows Mobile Themes] acc0101:
Where can I get the mortscript?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vukile:
Ultimate launch tabs...

How do you customise the quickdial in the Phone tab with pictures from contacts? I also am having trouble customising the apps tab.:) How can I get the LG links to open Resco instead?
[Windows Mobile Themes] king_k@rtik:

[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:

[Windows Mobile Themes] king_k@rtik:

[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
download htc home customizer from www.pocketemu.com and enable the weather tab instead of the clock tab
[Windows Mobile Themes] king_k@rtik:
sorry to bother you but i allready installed that but cant find this option to enable weather

looking forward to you
[Windows Mobile Themes] alan1988:
:):)try:(:(
[Windows Mobile Themes] mstrpakman:
can you please just make a cab file of the whole setup
[Windows Mobile Themes] acc0101:
I can apply the theme but it doesn't display properly in my prophet

The date and year can't come out entirely (eg, 08 displays as 0 and Thursday displays as Thursda)

The second thing is even though I got the mortscipt v4.1, the appointments always shows " No Appointments"
[Windows Mobile Themes] brushrop03:
I have everything set up, but I just have a couple of questions.

1. Where can I get Icons to use for my applications and whatnot

2. For some reason my UL keeps becoming unactivated. The .ini keeps changing and i have to recopy yours to the folder
[Windows Mobile Themes] brushrop03:
Is there anyway for UL to not do the finger gesture thing to move to the next tab? I use a plugin that uses and I put that plugin on the home tab. Whenever I try to use it, i move over to the next tab.
[Windows Mobile Themes] brushrop03:
Go to Settings > Today > HTC Home tab. Enable Weather and take everything else off...Make sure HTC Home isn't checked on the items tab also
[Windows Mobile Themes] mstrpakman:
how do i change the clock front in rltoday
[Windows Mobile Themes] mario23:
Great work.

Playin with it now.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] mario23:
Not sure if this has been asked yet (I couldn't find anything on it)

I'm trying to get this to work with Wisbar Advance 3.

There is an option to "Hide the SoftKey bar" but that still leaves a little gap at the bottom of the screen which in turn activates the dreaded scroll bar.

Has anyone found a way around this? If not, I may just get rid of Wisbar since this program you put together is too good to let go ;)

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] brushrop03:
Is anyone's UL becoming unactivated? That seems to be my only problem with this...
[Windows Mobile Themes] mario23:
Did you ever post these?

They look great!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] mstrpakman:
can somebody make a transparent s2u2 background cause the black one for rltoday dont look right with the theme
[Windows Mobile Themes] mario23:
I overwrote the HH_frame files but I still have that bottom tab showing up on the HTC plugin.

Did I do something wrong?

TIA
[Windows Mobile Themes] summershit:
Anyone have a solution for this?

Thanks for a set of excellent themes.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mario23:
If you look at the XML file with an editor, you will find those four buttons mapped. Where it says Ontap, you need to change the path in the quotes. The path depends on the program your wanting to put there such as

"\Program Files\Pocket Informant\Pocket Informant.exe".
[Windows Mobile Themes] mario23:
Ok here's my only problem right now. Maybe someone can help me out.

I am using the HTC Home plugin only for Profiles as I already have WeatherPanel configured and working. I replaced the three HTC files but I still can't get rid of the tab. I was able to select only profiles to show as instructed but the tab is still visible. Here's a pic:

The rest of the programs are now working flawlessly. Great job again and thanks for any help you may be able to provide.
[Windows Mobile Themes] summershit:
Thank you for getting back.

My question is how would one go about opening the programs menu rather than just one particular program?

Also what are the steps need to have S2U2 tie in to this theme. Just adding the S2U2 folder did not do it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ericjohnmc:
Does anyone know how to make the background photo (any of the colorful backgrounds supplied in post 1), look more bold? They are extremely washed out or faded. Kind of like I have some sort of transparency setting that is making them much lighter. Every photo I see of someone's screen including the original post, the background is much brighter, vivid, etc...

I must be overlooking something here, just cannot figure out why my backgrounds are sooooo light colored. The blue and green you wouldn't know they are blue or green if you saw them on my today screen. Yet, other apps are looking fine, so it isn't the LCD. Just the today screen backgrounds.

Thanks for any help!!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] cbus:
Having same issue as Mario - the bottom LG buttons do not touch the bottom of the screen. There is a small gap there - I changed the xml file to try and adjust the height but it just gave me the scroll bar.

Has anyone found a way to make the LG and the messaging buttons to move down to touch the bottom of the screen without the scrollbar appearing?

Thanks in advance for your help.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mario23:
I was actually able to fix it in the Ultimate Launcher settings. I changed the height from 138 to 137. There's a very small line at the bottom that doesn't bother me at all and most important...no more scroll bar. Keep in mind my problem was specific to using Wisbar and hiding the softkey bar. I'll post a pic in a bit so you can see what I'm talking about...
[Windows Mobile Themes] mario23:
cbus, here's a picture of mine so you can see what I'm talking about...

The bottom line is barely visible and again this makes it so I can run it with Wisbar Advanced...
[Windows Mobile Themes] PogoStick:
Anyone get the manila theme to come out right in the Mogul? Mine is all distorted.
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
@PogoStick, post a screen shot please
[Windows Mobile Themes] summershit:
What weather plugin are you running Mario?

EDIT: Read that it is Weatherpanel.

Spence, any info on my question in post #359?
[Windows Mobile Themes] eskostar:
Hello!

First of all thanks all for the work and tips in this thread, specially to Spence for starting this project, big up!

I've been following this thread for a while now, and finally decided to install it myself. All working 99.9%, made some chances to rlToday xml and to battery status theme .xml in order to have a 24h clock, and links to appropriate links (thanks to the guy who posted the .xml change to allow the link to open hotmail directly btw), again, all working (almost)perfectly, thing I finally have a today theme that I will keep for a good while!

My answer is the following, it's about Battery Status. when pressing the lower buttons (the LG styled ones), sometimes it won't open the appropriate link, it acts like I pressed somewhere on one of the above buttons, and opens one of the message links. Wondering if I can solve that by some xml tweak or if it's a limitation due to batterystatus skinning.

Not a big issue anyways, but would be cool to find a fix for it, but I'm not (very) picky.

Thank you once again for the help, hope I made myself clear.

Cheers, esko.
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
no it was a little coding problem. The user cbus fixed it with his buttons in this thread. They look like mine but they are clear. if you search the attachments its called htc_clear.zip. I can change them to my black lg buttons if you want also.
[Windows Mobile Themes] eskostar:
If it isn't asking much, yeah I would love to have that in the black button style, tried changing the .xml of that one to meet my applications but the design doesn't "fit" anymore.

Thank you for the fast reply, esko.
[Windows Mobile Themes] LycanNyc:
Anyone has a easy cab installation to do all this ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mario23:
Me too please :)

I prefer the look of the black buttons.

Also I'm getting that nag popup for battery status advising that is a shareware ect...

I've heard I need to upgrade to the most recent version to fix it?
[Windows Mobile Themes] eskostar:
Ok, so I KINDA managed to get things working using the aurora2 .zip, managed to change buttons, links, etc, but no matter how many tweaks I make I can't get the skin to show the amount of messages unread, all it does ishighlight the icon, doesn't show how many are there, like with the previous skin. Any ideas?

EDIT: Screenshot added for clarification
[Windows Mobile Themes] eskostar:
I just couldn't get to sleep before fixing this so here it is

Black Icons, two rows so they don't overlap, E-mail button opens Hotmail account and messages showing number of unread:

Screen:

Download:

http://esko.planetaclix.pt/htc_clear.rar

BTW: I removed the rest of the BS skin (stuff like clock, memory etc) to clear space, so if you use the rest, please make sure you know how to add it back.

The link for voice calls was replaced by Outlook E-mail.

My "LG" buttons open the Calendar, Resco Explorer, pTravelAlarm and PocketCM, change what you want in the .xml, just look for the .exe paths
[Windows Mobile Themes] Beast84:
What do I need to change in the xml to make the email button open my yahoo account?

Or is there a way to have it open whichever email account has messages? I have yahoo & hotmail so this would be pretty convenient if I could to that
[Windows Mobile Themes] franzese:
Odd question, has anyone tried Aurora on an ATT Tilt? Is there any issues. It's a great looking build and I would like to try it. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] eskostar:
Hello, just open the .xml, search for hotmail and rename it with the name of the account you want it to open
[Windows Mobile Themes] mario23:
I have it running on my Tilt....no issues at all.
[Windows Mobile Themes] sheltem:
So in order to use the Manilla theme, you should install the Aurora theme first?
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
no its seperate
[Windows Mobile Themes] mario23:
He Spence, any chance of getting this in black?
[Windows Mobile Themes] KamaL:
Very nice work.

Is there a quick contacts launch frame?? That's something missing in ultimate launcher, and I keep HTChome for this reason.

Opening PocketCM isn't that practical every time.
[Windows Mobile Themes] caballero600:
like it too, i have something similar, but not that goodlooking lg buttons!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Synned:
+1 Excited.
[Windows Mobile Themes] thecoredump:
give me give me give me

Really cool !
[Windows Mobile Themes] andrew7777777:
It's a great theme - there r lots of qq a/t it... yet it's rather hard 2 say anything without testing it first:) From the side look it seems that HTCHome Plugin is involved (I mean the clock & the weather aspect) yet I can say very little a/t the gadgets without using them first.

Spencepu3, please post a download link:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] MetaImi:
hy

How can you remove the soft keys and the tray bar?
[Windows Mobile Themes] andrew7777777:
So what is left then? ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
for the soft keys i use a program called dcinobar.exe and for the tray icons you have to delete the corresponding programs in your windows\startup folder.

Looks like im gonna have to do a step by step on how to do this since there are so many programs involved. I will update the first post as soon as i can.
[Windows Mobile Themes] starfish_001:
Great looking theme etc....... I guess step by step is needed by many but If you could zip the files up by app .... I'm pretty sure many could work it out accepting that some of the progs are time consuming to config UL and Rtoday spring to mind
[Windows Mobile Themes] mugglesquop:
Could anyone create a .cab installer that does all the programs/settings etc?
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
That would be nice, Otherwise I will do what somebody said previously and make a .zip file with a little how-to guide. I'm just fixing up some minor bugs right now, should be released soon
[Windows Mobile Themes] Synned:
Awesome man, excited!
[Windows Mobile Themes] KamaL:
Are you using any program for quick-contacts on the today screen? You seem to be using only the weather tab in HTChome.

Looking forward to check it out
[Windows Mobile Themes] daflip:
Relase time? thx love this grafx ;-)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Jeff:
** Bump **
[Windows Mobile Themes] cmortensen:
Drooling...... Can't wait to use it!!!! :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
alright guys im ready enough for an initial release, still a few bugs. follow the steps in the first post. enjoy!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Synned:
I tried following the steps and ended up pretty bad.

It looked like this:

Home|Phone|Apps|Weather

CLOCK

No tabs at the bottom

I'll try again in the morning.
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
hmm well the bottom tabs are batterystatus. did you install it and select htc home as your theme?
[Windows Mobile Themes] sikol121:
spence u are the man, this is an amazing look, i cant wait for ur release :D its really gonna make the phone look sick. Great jobb mate
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
mario, check post 373
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vukile:
Combining with separate weather plugin?

I saw this weather plugin that combines with Battery Status on the today screen. Would it be possible to build it into the rlToday theme because I cant get it to work properly in BS.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Beast84:
There is no hotmail in the .xml?
[Windows Mobile Themes] brushrop03:
Quick question. what do I need to just get the clock thats in the aurora v2 theme?
[Windows Mobile Themes] eskostar:
Hello

If you download my .rar file on post 373, you can open the .xml and find the line containing:

Item>
- <Item class="registry_tracker" ontap="StartApp" path="\Windows\tmail.exe ::-service "Hotmail" open "inbox"">

Just change Hotmail to the name of your acount, if you cannot find it just search for it using built-in search option.

Or just tell me what's the name of the account you want and I'll post the .xml with your changes
[Windows Mobile Themes] eskostar:
Just to show how I ended up with my today screen, thanks to everybody in this thread for ideas, tips and tricks, again, thank you to Spence for starting it.

My Today:

Using:

Wisbar with Vista Theme

rlToday WM7 skin

HTC Home Weather / Ultimate Launcher allows to change this tab to Applications Shortcuts

BatteryStatus with Messages and LG Buttons

Pretty(for me), and very functional, still maintaininga good amount of memory and storage available.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mario23:
Wasn't paying attention...thanks...
[Windows Mobile Themes] streetknight:
what did i do wrong?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mario23:
In the options for Battery Status, you need to disable the taskbar.

Also in the "show rows" option, you need to show only the "messages" row...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Philux:
Could you please post your theme files that you used to make rltoday WM7ish skin look like that. And how do you make battery status display a pop up of information?

Thanks and great work it looks totally awsome!
[Windows Mobile Themes] nico4k:
awsome

this theme work is awsome... i really like this manila phone...
[Windows Mobile Themes] omair2005:
i'm stalling at the first step. Install battery. i put the htchome.xml and the htc folder in my windows dir. but the only theme (appearance) i see is htcdefault?
[Windows Mobile Themes] eskostar:
Hello, the rltoday skin is here: http://esko.planetaclix.pt/rlToday-wm7ish.rar

As for the popup, is part of Wisbar, not BS.

Cheers, Esko
[Windows Mobile Themes] eskostar:
Why are you putting it in the windows directory, it says to put it in the battery status directory, which is under windows
[Windows Mobile Themes] spencepu3:
yea eskostar is right, you must have misread the directions
