ok.... i only asked you to post that one since i didn't keep that theme or .dll (imagine that?)
[HTC Excalibur] morfic:
This is great, this way i can try yours and even put the WM7 dll from the weather 3.1 app and try them all easily.

Finally got my homescreen how i want it, but different panels to try would be great.

Since my troubles always came from my panels disappearing with a full replacement of cpr files, would it be possible the script replaces common parts of cpr files but leaves panels it doesn't know alone? (Worst are the NRG cpr files bringing up myfaves and the like)And does not show panels that are currently hidden? For say different versions of ClockExpanded w/o touching any of the others?

That would be most awesomest!

But even just replacing bronze in a jiffy is great, thanks,

Daniel
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
the cpr file is either all or nothing... no merging or editing....... basically the cpr file is similar in concept to the home.xml files..... the cpr file can be edited in notepad as well ( if you have a bit of understanding of how .css or .xml works) what basically happens is that the file( for the excalibur) it replaces the chome_320x240.cpr in the windows directory. The only way a .cpr file will mess up your panels (all by itself) is if a certain chome name ( such as "operator services" or "music") are omitted from the .cpr file..... usually the culprit is something in the registry that has to be manually changed.

I have mortscript.exe in my /Windows directory, courtesy of MiniWeather. If I place these two files into a directory on my storage card, will they still work ok, or do they need to be in the same folder as mortscript?
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
I believe it will work. If they say not associated with an app, then go to your mortscript.exe and click on it to see if that will register them and then try them again. If they still won't work, then you can do one of two things: 1) move the file changer.mscr and chomerefresh.exe into the folder with the mortscript(they only take up about 3 kb) or 2) download the mortscript cab I posted which I know can run files from anywhere. I have my changer in a new folder I made called changer along with all my files on the storage card. The cpr and dla files do not need to be in same folder as the changer itself, so you can put the cpr and dla files in storage while the file changer itself is in main.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Here's the theme and the dla by itself for all the longhorn fans!

The theme zip has the dll, the scheme.xml, and the UT wallpaper.

Enjoy, courtesy of Pudgedaddy, because he loves the longhorns.hehe

Right, Pudge?:D Maybe I'll see you at the Red River Rivalary game.

it was hard cuz i love popcorn :D
[HTC Excalibur] roloracer:
Ok, children stop making such a mess with the popcorn :D I know Stylez, babysteps with this one! JK :D:D when you saved the .dlls to your phone, did you rename them to .dla?,

when you choose a .dla, (EG. bronzeresdarth.dla) the filechanger should tell you that you're choosing such .dla and it will reboot. The phone has to reboot every time you change the panel for it to take effect.
[HTC Excalibur] rvargas:
did all that. and i tried several different dla but no success. ill try to figure it out on my own as stylez perfers. :D. ill be on tommorrow. dont wanna stay any later at work than i have to. thanks rolo
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
My popcorn joke you would have to delve back <- just a little bit on thread there is a long bit with a BJ user about the same kinda thing.

Don't through me popcorn as i need it to servive around here & you make a mess on XDA floor the Mod squad will get ya :D JK

So i wasn't saying figure on own my joke was @ roloracer but he forgot i think? :eek:

changing icons in titanium

Hi all.....

Hoping someone can help...I am trying the change the orange clock icon in titanium. The story so far:

- have changed the icon 2051 in the bronzeres.dll thrice:

- 1. just changed the icon

- 2. changed the icon and padded zeros on the end of bronzeres.dll to get it to be the same size as original file

- 3. padded the png file to the same size as the original icon and then changed icons in bronzeres.dll

all failed to work, I just get a stalled titanium with no slider, time or any other from page except the top and bottom bars. I can still access the hex prog list so can do things.

It seems I am missing something in the changing the icon with new png process....please help!!!

Thanks Chris
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Chris,

Possibly the wrong place to ask as this is the Dash forum so no WM6.5 available but are you unsigning changing resource and resigning? Also due to change in resource you may need sdkcerts installed?

There are themer's changing the bronzeres.dll on WM6.5 so you may well get a better answer PM'in one of them to which you would find in Dev section.

Peace,

stylez.
[HTC Excalibur] roloracer:
it sucks to think there are soo many people using the 6.5 that they assume everyone is, that really sucks.

Someone needs to figure out how to port over, either 6.5 or the m2d for the dash, or I'm just gonna get myself another phone, ( tilt or fuze ). :(
[HTC Excalibur] feyd2blak:
Sorry, and thanks....I will try find the dev forums....
[HTC Excalibur] KROMO50:
first off thanks to everyone on this site i just love the 6.1. just got it on last night. I am looking for a background that is just black i don't like alot of stuff on my phone if there is one please let me know. thanks
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Here you go it's my welcomehead.96.png off Tilt resized and .jpg'd, if not correct Google Images "Black" and use Gimp or any other imaging software to resize to 320x240 :)
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
I take no credit for the artwork it's l0lcats, just ported to original .dla & show.dla
[HTC Excalibur] EternalSoil:
Ok guys, Attempting to mess around and make my own .dla file and i have a question.

I know i could just replace one thing with another and probably have it work but I would like to know where I can find certain information for myself for other changes.

When I open up the .dla file (changed to a .dll) in Resource Tuner I open the RC data folder and get all the png files with numbers. I know how to mess with the icon numbers for the most part but the panels themselves, I'm not exactly sure what the numbers correspond to or how I can mess with them.

I have one named "3000" that looks like the a darkened glass, one named "3300" that's more glassy, one named "4000" which is the glowing type one that I see, and another names "4300" that I have never seen before.

How would I go about finding where these numbers are referenced? And is it possible to change that so they can be words rather than numbers?

Thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
4000 is the panel inactive 4300 is the panel active "when pressed"

To be honest i use PE Explorer as far more options than Resource Tuner it's little brother ;)

Don't know if you have this File Editor Suite very handy for unsign & sign of files.
[HTC Excalibur] EternalSoil:
Ahhh, I see. I think you got them switched because I see 4000 all the time, but 4300 when pressed.

I will have to try that other program, this one is kinda funky.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
4000 is the panel inactive 4300 is the panel active "when pressed" :)

Active should have really been Action but hay :D "I deal with alot of .dll's so terminology not always correct"

If your looking for another prog PE Explorer & Restorator are good Restorator allows you to change resources even if different res or bit
[HTC Excalibur] EternalSoil:
Another quick question. I had at one time changed my font from white to black, now i cant change it back or change it to a different color. I used the XML editor and made a new copy of the text.scheme.xml file so i could change the color to say, red, but any time i select it it gives me that "Data Call The layout you have selected cannot be loaded..." thing. Any thoughts?

Also, I have 2 options for all of these in the home screen part in settings: home screen layout, color scheme, and background image. I don't think i should though.
[HTC Excalibur] roloracer:
did you place the text.scheme.xml copy in my device/application data/home folder? also , you shouldn't have two options for any of them.
[HTC Excalibur] EternalSoil:
Yes, I put them in there, and I do have 2 coppies of all of those I listed.

How to Post it install it Man

Can some one tell me how to install whether its direct to phone or thru pc !!
[HTC Excalibur] Fantasigraphic:
so i installed this and applied the dla file and it wont change the color of the sliding panel. one thing i noticed on the file changer screen (header) in the top it says to Choose your ODSHOW weather...

only problem is i have feather weather.

any ideas why it wont work?
[HTC Excalibur] roloracer:
odshow weather is feather weather, older name for it!:D you do have mortscript running right?
[HTC Excalibur] Fantasigraphic:
Yep!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
I'm sure in this thread there was another bj user with the panels not changeing?
[HTC Excalibur] Fantasigraphic:
Im sure ill look.. thanks for your time and help
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
If you could get your bronzeres off phone i'm sure that there'd be a fix HTC went from brozeres to png back to bronzeres for 6.5 take a look through your Windows directory with Total Commander or Resco so can see hidden files.
[HTC Excalibur] Fantasigraphic:
So i got it to work. what i did was went into my /windows/bronzeres and replace it. didnt even use the file changer
[HTC Excalibur] roloracer:
Hey Stylez! How about some popcorn?:D
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Woo hooo no popcorn needed :D solved by a simple thing like just copying over file ;)
[HTC Excalibur] brent372:
Can you provide a ZIP file of just the actual glass panel images?
[HTC Excalibur] SimPup:

[HTC Excalibur] HTCS621Smartphone:
Can Someone post the S621 Excalibur DLL file.. seems like just about every other one has been posted in here, hope someones kind enough to share it.
[HTC Excalibur] roloracer:
hit me up in a pm , and let me know what .dll you need and from what rom, if there's a particular panel you would like, and I'll check on my pc, and hit you up with it.:)
[HTC Excalibur] wayu_blue:
thank for every info bro:)
[HTC Excalibur] magesh_kavungal:
Is this is working only in 6.1 ROM !!!!

mine is samsung b7320 with 6.5 ROM.........

have any chance for working this theme option in my device ?
[HTC Excalibur] roloracer:
this one is only meant for 6.1 ,do not try this on 6.5!!! my version is the one for 6.5.

Anything in this forum made for win mo 6.5 might work on your samsung but you'll have to try it out and see if it works! I would suggest using a backup data software like spb backup in case you have to do a hard reset.:)
[HTC Excalibur] johnnyeoneal:
Soooo. . . .I'm an idiot I guess. I attempted to install nd was successful at first, but got kinda lost as to what to do or where to put the bronzer files etc. I was able to install the file changer, port chabger etc but failed horriblly after that so if anybody has the patience or knows what I may have done wrong or not done at all I would very much appreciate it!!! FUTURE THANKS!!! :confused:
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
If you can run file changer, then you just need your bronzeres files somewhere on the phone that you can find them with the file explorer built into file changer app. Make sure your bronzeres.dll files are named with the extention .dla instead of .dll so that file changer will let you see them. The files can have any name as long as the extentions are dla( for example: blue.dla). Also, you will need at least two dla available in same folder, because for some reason, the file explorer used by mortscript won't let you select from a single file. Once you select your file, then confirm you want to install and reboot. that's it.
[HTC Excalibur] parthabhatta:
I am using a portrait phone (HTC VOX) and have installed the portrait version of the file changer software sucessfully and changed my bronzerer to neon blue. But I have the following queries:

1) The change is only showed when the orientation is changed to landscape. May be since dll file you made is for landscape mode. Is there a way to make it visible in portrait mode or there are some dll files for portrait mode.

2) I am using WM6.1 with green theme. How to reinstall the default bronzerer file. I don't have the default WM6.1 green theme files with me.

3) I am using your featherweather-portrait version. If I change the cpr files will it affect the layout of the clock weather panel ?

Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] johnnyeoneal:
I have all the zips installed, I have checked the names (.dla) nd they are correct, but the file changer cannot find them or see them still. I have a huch it's something simple I'm not doin correctly but still no luck. Thank you again for your efforts in this matter.

Here is exactly what I've done so far. . ..

I saved the three zips you provided (file changer, monoscript,etc) to my phone. Used the file explorer on my phone to install them. Then I saved a few bronzer zips to phone as well, went through file changer file explorer changed the .cpl, when selected to change .dll/.dla it opens the explorer nd each file I scroll through looks empty, it's not recognizing the bronzer files nd I know it's cause this is a lil over my head but I very badly want this to work!!
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
1) I didn't add the portrait images in there, but I'll do it and post all the dlls again tomorrow.

2) I have a default dll that I will post at the same time tomorrow.

3) As for as I know, Kron2's portrait cpr that is in featherweather thread's post #1, is the only one available right now. You can edit the cpr yourself using notepad. If you need help, just post your questions, but basically, if you don't delete anything, its pretty easy, just takes time to get stuff to line up the way you want. Each type of panel has its own section to edit.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
did you rename your bronzeres.dll files to something like bronzeres.dla? have to change the extention in order for the filechanger to "see" them. Since you were able to change cpr files, that is the only reason you shouldn't be finding the dla files, because it doesn't see dll , only dla. It converts when it installs the file.
[HTC Excalibur] johnnyeoneal:
Ok so I was able to make some progress. My file changer is now able to see them I wasn't extracting correctly. . lol. ~Neway, since I was able to change my .dla./.dll files the only thing it changed was icons in my sliding panels. I know to edit my panels, etc I have to do so using noteepad, I will just need to do some more reading nd research cause thats something I've never done before nd want to make sure I do right. I appreciate your help in this, any tips on the notepad aspect or how to customize panels would be highly appreciated.

edit: I had to remove my HTC touch Diamond theme to notice any difference at all, but I have new icons now at least. . lol
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
K, The dll's I posted only had landscape support but I'm going to get the full landscape/portrait versions up soon. That's why you only got the icons, check back in about 8 hrs.
[HTC Excalibur] johnnyeoneal:
Thanks!!!!! Will do. :)
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Here you go, all these work for landscape and portrait as do all future posted by me.:)

The silver has a silver tint, gold tint, and Houston Texans logo one.

The neon has the glow, neon blue, and neon yellow borders.

The cow has the cow and hazard bordered.

The chrome has the two different style chrome bordered and the full blue.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Here's a new rippled image dll.
[HTC Excalibur] parthabhatta:
Superb , I am going to try right now.

Attach the original WM 6.1 green bronzerer please
[HTC Excalibur] johnnyeoneal:
Genius! I am on my shadow right now nd not around a PC at moment but will download first thing in morning! I just want to say thanks for your help along w outerdepth, ND4SPD, My HTC, Kron2, and many more! Its fortunate that we have people like y'all for support nd I will be donating in near future, goin through divorce right now or already would have! Thnks again!
[HTC Excalibur] parthabhatta:
I installed the portrait version bronzerer but none seems to work. I installed them in a similar way to that of your landscape.dla files and they worked fine in landscape mode. Can you guess where I may be going wromg ?

Thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] johnnyeoneal:
Awesome, I love it. Only help I need now is I would like to edit my panels a lil nd possibly add the file changer to it's own panel for easy access. I'm using the Ripple.dla nd it's pretty sweet. Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] pmorganii:
showco...this is really nice!!! working perfect on my portrait device. one question though. i would really like to keep the original smartphone icons...i am running your ripple on a black background and i am kindof a monochrome guy - icons are nice...but too much color for me. is there any way to keep your awesome changes to the sliding panel, but have the original WM icons? thanks in advance.
[HTC Excalibur] thompsonjdt:
I had installed the ripple effect before I installed the chrome2 and when i press something in which the panel holds, i.e. text messages, photos or whatever, it briefly shows the ripple.

Pretty cool side effect!
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
Actually, its not a side effect at all! lol

In the dll you can set the normal look of the panel plus the look when you select something on the panel(the ripple effect). I liked it too.:D
[HTC Excalibur] KidDzAkemi:
I'm not sure if I've ever posted lol. I mostly lurk and search for answers to my questions. In a moment I'm going to take a crack at installing one of the 6.1 roms.

I wanted to ask, because I'm not sure if I can with the default settings change that green color scheme to hopefully something blue and fluid. D

Does this set come without the ripple effect? Or will I be able to chose btw the smooth original "thingy" (lol sorry, i'm running on fumes) and the ripple "thingy" like in the pictures.

I pray this makes sense, it all sounded(is this even a real word) well thought out in my mind but when I started moving my fingers... not so much. Thanks in advance. I'm really prowling around to make sure I have everything I need and want before I start changing anything.

Edite
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
The ripple look and the blue background aren't included with 6.1 rom. The ripple look is available above, and the background is just one i made for a simple black to blue fade.:)
[HTC Excalibur] Exodusoffg:
This all is very cool stuff thanks for sharing. How would one create their own dll's?
[HTC Excalibur] karelj:
I'm about to try this for the first time....but I would like to have the original .dll/.dla file for the unaltered panel. Can someone provide it or tell me where to find it?

Thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
In post #9 pudgedaddy post :)
[HTC Excalibur] karelj:
Thanks... I missed that on my first read.

Now I have another issue. Initially, I had two .dla files in the same folder but only one was able to be selected. I added a third and I was able to select any of the three.

Now I've added the original dla file but no matter what, I get the message "no file selected" when I try to activate it.
[HTC Excalibur] garthy22:
Heres some more....

heres another one similar to bronzereschrome2 but I changed it slightly to keep the standard icons as requested by pmorganii.

Also, heres the original again to put it all back to normal if anyone needs it.

[HTC Excalibur] enzyme:
SHOWACO... make me your apprentice lol!

I am trying to make my own theme / interface for my phone. I was looking for a way to edit the panels visually. Mainly I wanted to get rid of the glass look of the panel. Also wanted to change the size of the panel, particularly the width. I see all of those in the screenshots. This appears to be everything I need here.

Here is my problem. The ones shown are great but I really want to make my own. How would I go about doing that? I am not all that savvy on scripts and codes and stuff. I do stick it out and learn what I have to get the job done. I am more of a graphics person.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
If you want to completely remove the panel background, it can be done in the chome_320x240.cpr file. If you just want to change to a different look, you'll need to edit the bronzeres.dll file. For the size of the panels and layout of text and icons, that is all done withing the cpr file. To change icons, you can make your set and put them inside the dll, or you can make the changes to the registry or cpr to look for them.

To edit the dll, you could take any of the dla files listed here. Put them on your pc and change their extention to dll. Then their are several programs that will let you change images within dll and exe files. I use Resource Tuner. When you open it, you will find the panel images at around 4000 for landscape and 3000 for the portrait. All the icons are their to and you will see them if you check the different image numbers.

To edit cpr files, I use notepad on pc(or phone). The different type of panels each have their own sections. Its fairly easy to read(its xml). The panel size is controlled at top of the cpr before the panels are listed. You can change panel size and you can change the "visible panel background"(from dll file) size seperately.

I just started editing and playing, just make sure you have backup copies before you start in case you can't restart the sliding panels.
[HTC Excalibur] enzyme:
Sweet! It'll probably take me awhile to figure out but the info you've given here is very promising. I want to completely change the look.

^^ I have a question about the one with the mini panel (first one posted). In that one, it looks like the actual panel size with its contents are still starting from one end of the screen to the other end, with the panel background (glassy box) being resized. Is that correct?

I ask because one of the things I want to do is be able to squeeze the panel & the background and all the content together to leave an X amount of space on each side of the screen. I want to use that space for wallpaper graphics. I am trying to make the whole theme look every interfacey if you know what I mean.

To avoid misunderstanding, here is an example of what I am talking about.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
yep, your correct. The first shot is full width panel with a smaller background image(size set in cpr). You should be able to get the view you want, just take a little time to get the layout right, but it'll work for sure.:)
[HTC Excalibur] enzyme:
Yessss. Thank you for everything.

I bet by the time I get everything figured out, there will already be some WYSIWYG creator program lol.
