one help please

Hello everybody,

Now I'm grateful for any help, it're driving me crazy. :eek:

I read the entire thread and could not solve this my problem.

I copied and pasted from the htchomesettings manila2d 2.0.1919 that this is the manila sense and had no success.:mad:

When the music starts to play the line of progress only begins to move after 30s. :(

I hope someone can help me. please.Tks so much.

mureta.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] pfcsabre:
I've tried that already, doesn't work :p )

The reason is the attribute path in the ImageList tag ("\m2d_images") concats to the attribute name in the Image tag ("\Windows\hh_music_record.png") so you'll get "\m2d_images\Windows\hh_music_record.png".

That's why the massive edit in the img paths :D

240x400??

Hi.. I'm running manilla2d on my omnia and it all looks very, very promising.. However, the 240x400 screen is not fully supported.

Now I'm trying to adjust the HTCHomeSettings.xml (maybe that's what you're looking for LivinOne?) to reflect the resolution and the 2 items I thought were used in this regard where:

<HTCHome version="3.00.0" device="OPAL" portrait="0,0,240,348" landscape="0,0,400,268">

<Property name="IDTABWG_WIDGET_RECT"	id="0" value="0,0,240,330, 0,0,320,230" />

Now the most screens (software and so) are fullscreen. But the tabbar is still not at the bottom of the screen. Anyone knows what to change to reflect a 240x400 screen?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] showaco:
Try adjusting this line, this is the one to move the tab bar location.

<TabWidget>
<Property name="IDTABWG_WIDGET_RECT" id="0" value="0,0,240,230, 0,0,320,170" />
<Property name="IDTABWG_TITLE_RECT" id="1" value="8,0,224,25" />
[B][SIZE=3]<Property name="IDTABWG_TAB_RECT" id="2" value="0,217,240,51, 0,140,320,51" />[/SIZE][/B]

ok which files are safe to move to another folder, i have moved all (except hh_music_record.png) in imagelist to folder within windows folder, also i moved mentioned in the xml files to that folder (just these files that have value=\windows...) everything works fine, but i got a strange bug in email, when i change the account manila crashes and when i change the mail message manila crashes

so does enyone can reference me which files are safe to move to another folder and maybe sample xml to compare where is my misstake

here is my HTCHomeSettings.xml
[Windows Mobile Software Development] pfcsabre:
Here you go (see attachment) My home settings are for directory reference, so don't use it :rolleyes: For the bonus, a Mortscript mover :p I think you'll get the drift on how to edit this one up:

L = "\Storage Card\HHIMG.TXT"
Source = "\Windows\"
Target = "\Windows\m2d_images"
NewSettings = "\Storage Card\HTCHomeSettings_new.xml"
OldSettings = "\Windows\HTCHomeSettings.xml"
BackupSettings = \Storage Card\HTCHomeSettings_backup.xml"
If( question( "Move Manila2D images to " \ Target \ " and replace HTCHomeSettings.xml?" ) )
list = Readfile( L )
If( NOT(DirExists(Target)) )
MkDir(Target)
EndIf
Copy (OldSettings, BackupSettings, TRUE)
Copy (NewSettings, OldSettings, TRUE)
ForEach line in split( list, "^LF^", 1 )
sFile = Source \ line
tFile = Target \ line
Rename ( sFile, tFile, TRUE)
EndForEach
Message( "Move finished!" )
Else
Message( "Move cancelled" )
EndIf

note that this Mortscript WORKS ONLY ON INSTALLED M2D, NOT IN A COOKED ROM (and for the usual disclaimer to everyone: I'm not going to be responsible if you mess up your PPC :p)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] tyguy:
Can one make this thread sticky???

There are SO many questions regarding customization all over the M2D threads but this one here is really good.

Hi guys.

I'm using a rather large clock, and I'm looking at my HomeSettings XML trying to figure out how to remove the Call History and Calendar lines from the home screen, and move the alarm line down to where the Calendar line currently resides.

Any ideas?

Modification Suggestions for 320x320

EDIT: nevermind...i found a theme to get me started..

i'd like to use Manilla2D on my Treo Pro and would appreciate any guidance or suggestions (via PM) on files that need to be modified and what type of modifications are required for 320x320 resolution. to my surprise, everything installed ok but the images, text, etc. are misaligned. i suspect this has to do with the start/end positions of text, etc., but i'm not sure. below is a pic of the home screen:

thanks in advance for your help...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mrpiggae:
Thanks a bunch! Here it is. I figured out how to remove the separator lines that I didn't like, but I'm having a heck of a time getting that alarm image to move. I tried moving it around with my test XML, but no matter what I do it stays in the same spot.

Hi,

i started my own skin and now i have some questions

1) I have done my hh_fw_tab_bg_fill.png but i want to position it not directly at the bottom. The bar should be some pixels e.g. 5px over the bottom so that its centered to the hh_fw_tabbtn.png. I tried to increase the height and centered the bar, in it but now everything which should be transparent is black. Solution for this is? Can't i simply postion the hh_fw_tab_bg_fill.png somewhere?

2) Same for the icons which are displayed on the tab_bg

3) Changing the font color? Now i have white color on a white background which is pretty uncool :)

//edit

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2713861&postcount=1622

Here you can see what i am trying to do for my Manila 2d skin
[Windows Mobile Software Development] showaco:
1) yes , you can move the tab row anywhere, I've moved mine all the way to the top before.:)

3) I'm still waiting for someone to figure this out as well:rolleyes:

For doing like that screenshot, it might be easier to just make a tab fill with a seperate stripe across bottom to match background. Like in that pic, you could make a red bar with a white stripe at bottom, it would still give the effect of the raised tab bar. I think that the black left behind has something to do with the tabs(maybe the masks themselves). It shows when you make the tab bar transparent also.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] showaco:
If your talking about the alarm line you mentioned earlier, did you move it in this first line:

<Property name="IDHMWG_ALARMSTATUS_RECT" id="90" value="[B][SIZE=4]29,127,213,148[/SIZE][/B]" />
<Property name="IDHMWG_ALARMSTATUS_IMG_ON" id="91" value="41" />
<Property name="IDHMWG_ALARMSTATUS_IMG_OFF" id="92" value="42" />

This should be the alarm text and you should be able to change its location.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] greatbal:
this will also move the clock icon correspondingly.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mrpiggae:
Nope, I was on the wrong track! Thanks guys, I'll try playing with it now.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Amr0d:
How can i move it?

And no, if I would fill it up with white the ppl couldn't use another bg image
[Windows Mobile Software Development] caballero600:
Is not very strange? What is this tab for?? I haven't found any information about this...

I can enable the operator tab, but nothing appears, only the title.

<Property name="IDHMWG_CALENDARBTN1_TEXT_RECT" id="43" value="[COLOR=red]55,178,213,206[/COLOR]" />

What do the four nos do? I mean what is responsible for doing what?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] greatbal:
If I'm not mistaken they refer to rectangular bounds of the calendar, upper-left point and the lower-right point, i.e., x1, y1, x2, y2.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Ameet:
You mean something like this?

If you or anyone can confirm this, I'll add it to the first post. Great help :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] showaco:
The four numbers are "left, top, width, height". If a property ending in RECT has eight numbers, then first set of four is for portrait and second set is for landscape orientations. "left, top, width, height, left, top, width, height"

Also, properties ending with POS(instead of RECT) are "left, top". And if they have 4 numbers, first set of two is portrait and second set of two is landscape. "left, top, left, top":D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Ameet:
Oh!! So its not the sequence of the x,y coordinates is it? :) Will add your post to the from page ;) Once you confirm my question
[Windows Mobile Software Development] btprice2001:
I have found that both you and ababrekar's explanation are correct; certain rect settings use x,y,width,height while others use x1,y1,x2,y2.

IDHMWG_CLOCKBTN_RECT under the HomeWidget uses x1,y1,x2,y2.

IDWEWG_LOCATIONTXT_RECT under the Weather uses x,y,width,height.

For information is it possible to have weather, sms/mms counting on the first tab ?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] tyguy:
Look into the M2DC customizer, as far as I know you can move all tabs around like you want though I'm not sure if HOME can be moved to second or whatever place (didn't bother to try yet).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Ameet:
I dont think he asked about the tab locations :)

@imfloflo. I tried adding different widgets to different tabs once but it didnt quite work out. So I guess the widget are tab specific. But will have to experiment deeper into this :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] imfloflo:
@ababrekar, yes you have understood what i want :p in some clock skin i see sun or moon so i was thinking to have sms, weather on the first tab but if you try didn't succes :s

HELP

OK I tried hard but cannot get it done.

HOW do I move the "weather event" more to the right?

Played with X1 Y1 etc. but no success.

... please ...

Hi. A noob in xml here and Im thankful for this thread.

May I ask how do I add another app in the "Internet" tab, under the big globe? Mine has "You Tube". Can I add another one below You Tube, for example "RSS HUB"?

Please guide a noob :)

thanks...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] chihliouma:
Can anyone teach me how to redirect the original calendar into other calendar such as "thumbcal" in the HOME tab ?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] showaco:
Looks like you have the original weather setup, here's the line from original xml:

<Property name="IDWEWG_WEATHER_POS" id="17" value="35,65,0,2" />

The values here for positioning the weather icon are "left(portrait), top(portrait), left(landscape), top(landscape)". So for portrait orientation, you need to adjust the first two numbers only, the last two are for landscape orientation. Left is pixels from left of screen, top is pixels from top of screen. Hope that helps.:)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] sun-drop:
is it possible to have a screen orentation and brightness controls added to the manilla 2d program launcher?

much like as in the stock standard windows 6/6.1 launcher where you have both of those. and you can tap on the screeb brightness control button and it would progressively brighten the screen.

is that possible? i can't add those features though the M2 program launcher ADD option as they don't come up in the program list :(
[Windows Mobile Software Development] blazingwolf:
You can add one but it is not done in the xml file. It is done in the registry.

HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila2D\InternetWidget\Customized is the location you need to do this in. Look at the file 0 in customized to see what you need to add to get RSS Hub working. :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] blazingwolf:
I think this is because they are not exe files. So, I don't believe this is possible right now.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] tyguy:
Indeed it did, thanks!

It´s just fixed. Correct settings on line Separator_Pos are: <Property name="IDHMWG_CLOCKBTN_SEPARATOR_POS" id="5" value="0, 27" />

[Windows Mobile Software Development] poorlyduck:
hi guys, I just got a hold of this thread, great info here and keep up the good work.

I just setup the m2d in my device, Im willing to contribute with some skins in near future.

when I skinned other applications that uses x,y postions for example Windows media player or audio manager, I used photoshop to determine the x,y in the info tab, I just make a bunch a new guide lines where I want the buttons to be positioned, but in order to do that I know what background Im basing my positions, so I open the background and start placing the buttons where they have to go then I add guide lines to determine x and y.

so my question is what background are you guys basing the postion of the clock, weather, calendar, is it the whole 240x320 screen or the background included in m2d manila files hh_fw_background.png.

thanx.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] showaco:
You can use the whole screen except for the start bar(which is what, 25 pixels?) and the soft keys(27). So maximum usable space is 240x268 at the moment, unless you don't do something with the tab bar(another 38). Then you only have 240x230 to work with. Also, Some elements locations are located based on another images location. One example is the weather screen, the forecast is positioned by the seperator line above it. It always stays directly below this line, even though this line is a seperate image.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] poorlyduck:
great, thank you, now let get to work :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] pidsw:
I tried doing this and it had no effect.

Aside: It seems like the name is not that significant, rather the id identifies it as aspects of the calendar.

I.e. if I had new lines re-using existing ids and different names it overwrites the prior entries for that id.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] showaco:
Those values in quotes are for the image numbers, they have nothing to do with size or position. To change size, you will need to edit the image files for the clock hands.

ist there a awy to get the location of the calendar application on the main screen ?

for example

Alarm Status

Missed Calls

Meeting with Tom
​

but no Location !!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] blazingwolf:
You can copy and paste the 0 folder to another location. Change the name to 1, make your changes and then move it back.

If you do this manually then you will also nee to change another reg setting. It is located at HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila2D\InternetWidget\Cutomized. You need to change CutomizedCount to 2 (assuming you don't add more).

Maybe stupid question, but is that what we see in the xml file the complete set of xml instructions what 2D understands ?

Say i.e. would "seconds" be possible to add to the clock widget ?

In another way did someone try different instructions ?

Or are there none of them beside whats in the xml file.

i was wondering about the calender also it seems this is something alot of folks are trying to accomplish...does anyone know the answer?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dinoalbert:
Thanks bro. I dont think I have the right to post it there cause its not really my own version. Im actually using Starbase64's TouchFlo2D rom and didnt use any skins yet, just the default blue one...what I did is just added RSS Hub in the Internet tab so I guess it no biggy for those not using RSS

btw, is it possible to decrease the height of those items in Internet Tab (You Tube and the RSS Hub links) such that everything is fit in that Tab's screen? Because right now when I added the RSS Hub item, it seems not to fit the screen, RSS Hub icon shows only half of it that I need to scroll up for it to show fully. Do I need to change any value from these lines:

Property name="IDINTERNET_CUSTOM_ITEM_ICONPOS" id="20" value="16, 12" /

Property name="IDINTERNET_CUSTOM_ITEM_TITLEPOS" id="21" value="48, 12" /

?

Just a thought :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] greatbal:
brute force method i did to make thumbcal to launch when clicking the calendar icon onthe home page:

1) Install ThumbCal

2) Go to the install folder

3) Copy all files into a temporary directory (as you need to rename ThumbCal.exe into calendar.exe)

4) Go to the temporary folder you created containing the copies of the ThumbCal files.

5) Rename Thumbcal.exe into calendar.exe

6) Copy all these files into your \Windows folder(making sure the default calendar is not running, else terminate it using task manager first).

You will be prompted in overwriting a system rom file calendar.exe, click yes (I use RescoExplorer).

7) Done.

As I said, this is a brute force method. but it works for me. :)

NOTE: I will not be responsible if something happens to your system when trying this out. Do this at your own risk. :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] showaco:
Yes, you can make the item height smaller here:

<Property name="IDINTERNET_ITEM_HEIGHT" id="16" value="41" />

Default height is 41, you could probably go to around 25 for minimum, I use 31 and it works out nice with items with descripitions.

You can also make the main internet icon smaller, and this will move the items up higher since the automatically move up just below the main icon.:D
