[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mouki_9:
I edited it with adobe photoshop elements 6. That was the only normal photo editing software i had on my laptop. If you open the original HTCMenus.bmp file, you see all sorts of green graphics. What I did was all manual work. Replace the green for blue. I used: quick selection tool, gradient tool and pencil. Kind of crap to do it on a laptop, but somehow i managed. After editing needed to save the picture as 16bit .bmp. I also couldn't open the file on the phone, but with irfanview it is possible. Don't know why. It works in my Touch HD luckily :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cybermaus:
You found it. This explains the other values in the registry. They are coordinates in this bitmap.

For example ItemHL=0,73,0,0 means:

0,73 starting coordinate for the portrait pressed green selection bar.

0,0 starting coordinate for the landscape pressed green selection bar.

There is also a HTCMenus_mask.bmp, which is used as mask for the painting.

I'll work out the rest too, but I am sure they are now trivial to find for any skilled skinner. Now, for me, I am happy with the skin as it is, all I wanted was a smaller menu and a faster or skipped animation. But I am sure the skinners will thank you mouki_9

More detailed:

HTCMenus_mask.bmp (8bits/pixel, but only black/white used)
HTCMenus.bmp (16bit/pixel)
620x218 size as 3 rows of 72 with 1 pixel separator
(size can probably not be altered, even if the coordinates are correct, because it
seems TF3D itself does not use the registry entries, but probably still does use the bitmap)

"ItemHL"="0,73,0,0" means:
0,73 starting coordinate for the portrait pressed green selection bar
0,0 starting coordinate for the landscape pressed green selection bar.

"ItemHW"="440,72,640,72" means
440,72 width and hight of menu item in protrait
640,72 width and hight of menu item in landscape

"ItemTile"="10,72,146,0,11,22,33,44,55,66,77,88,99,110,121,132,143,154,165"
10 is tile unit width
72 is tile unit hight
146,0 starting coordinate of tile set, start with top-left edge
11,22,33,44,55,66,77,88,99,110,121,132,143,154,165
These are the next tile units, each 10 (a unit) width but with 1 pixel separator
The last one (165) is the right edge of the unpressed selected tile

"SelectIcon"="31,32,146,438,470,502" means
31,32 size of the icon
146,438 coordinate of the disabled icon
,470 coordinate of the selected icon
,502 coordinate of the deselected icon

I think with this, the other values are trivial (if you at least also look at the bitmap. I attached the all originals (green) in the zip. The preview thumbnails is just to make it visible in this forum. For the blue one, use the one from mouki_9's post a few post above.

Edit: A request/warning to skinners: the program does a floodfill against the 'purple corners'. Make sure they stay. And to remain compatible with smaller menu coordinates, they should not be made smaller. In fact, it may be best to make them 1 pixel radius larger, or even better, have a 1 pixel wide transparent line on the entire length of the left/right side where applicable.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mouki_9:
lol i bet the skinners will do a hell of a better job than me. My paintshop skillz are way too low for this hahaha

in the registry i see a htcMenuSetting.exe but i cannot find the exe anywhere....

HKCU\Software\HTC\Taskmanager\ExclusiveList\System

dunno if it is anything or not, but i was just wondering.......
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cybermaus:
Updated first post with what I believe are now ideal sizes for both portrait (8->11) and landscape (3->6 menu items), without further sacrifice finger usability (individual size still 60 and 57, still larger than first reported 56)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] funk1980:
Installed and tested. Works like a charm in all non-manilla apps. Still very finger friendly. Thanks!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] BadCluster:
I've import the registry key with registry editor by resco.

I've do a softreset

but nothing change...

I'm using Original Rom by Tim
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mouki_9:
i believe i have found a bug, but i think it's for the htc menus and not this registry mod. I use Solitair city 3.0 and the menu is at the top instead of all the programs on the bottom of the screen. To make the menu appear it takes a lot of time and the screen is distorted. But if i select a submenu, then everything is back to normal. See the screenshots :P
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cybermaus:
Can you check with if the error is still there if you restore the normal menu? And if so, if it is also the case if you re-install the latest menu. (you use the one that was current yesterday morning.

Please put screen prints if possible.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cybermaus:
Wait: Original rom? Please reread 1st post. This is only if you already have the new menu and want to make them smaller. You do not have the new menus, so don;t expect anything...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mouki_9:
Ok, i've resetted the setting to default with the normal menus cab and soft reset and started solitair city 3. The menus were faster and displayed normal.

Then i've imported the new settings from first post to make the menus a lil smaller. Soft reset and started solitair city 3 again. This time it seems the menu were even slower than before and the problem is still there.

So i guess we screwed something up lol. Problem is it only occurs if the menu is @ the top of the screen. I have not seen this issue in any other program, but the menu is always @ the bottom of the screen in all those other programs.

see attached screenshots. First one is with normal menus, second one is with the smaller menus from first post.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ark666:
Hi guys, can someone provide a cab of this very nice app? :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cybermaus:
Actually, we did have two other apps reported.

But I have an idea: The bitmap you've found does have some transparent sections. The green corners, which cause the rounded edges of the menu. I am making the menu's smaller, but as a result, the ones where the edges are at the bottem are cut off. Only rounded edges at the top.

Maybe this messes up the drawing routines. They expect to end with rounded edges, but don't, or at least, not when drawing from the top. Or the 1-pixel distance between the image parts have a meaning that comes out only when drawing from top. Or the black/white bit count in the mask must always be even (your print screen does hint at some on/off toggle for transparency.

If so, we need to create a bitmap to match our smaller tiles that matches whatever hidden requirement is in the programming. And I was thinking this was going to be an easy tweak....

edit: Try these values, I want to try something:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCMenus]

"ItemHL"="0,73,0,0"

"ItemHW"="440,60,640,60"

"ItemTile"="10,60,152,0,11,22,33,44,55,66,77,88,99,110,121,132,143,154,165"

"NaviHW"="440,18,640,18"

"NaviTile"="10,18,160,200,211,222,233,244,255,266,277,288,299,310,321,332,343"

"NaviIcon"="20,18,160,354,375,396,417"

Please also try landscape...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mouki_9:
ok..... you lost me :P

If i understand correctly the bitmap we customized was for the bigger menus, so now our menus are a lil smaller, we need to also make the graphics inside the bitmap evenly smaller. But this means we gotta start counting pixels........:(
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cybermaus:
You posted the same time as me. Can you read the edit above?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mouki_9:
LOL....... gonna try now....back in few secs

edit:

ok, now i see the round edges are gone, but in solitair city 3 the issue is still there.

and i forgot to mention, in landscape it works just fine, but that was in the situation before also working fine....
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mouki_9:
oh and the speed seems the same in all the other menus.

Only in solitair city 3 it takes a few seconds to appear.

and in landscape in solitair city 3 the menu appears much faster. Like in all the other applications
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cybermaus:
Ok, well, here's my thinking after staring at your screen for a while:

The problem is clearly a left-right only floodfill going wrong. It turns out transparent, so the color that is filled is probably the one used for overlay or alpha blending.

I already noticed before the purple color in the bitmap as also a transparency color. Before, I did not bother off-setting the tile segments, so it keeps top-side, but bottom side was cut off. This because most menu's are floating from bottom, so it looks nicer that way.

What I had you try was offsetting the tile segments by 6, which by a lucky coincidence meant that you had 1 pixel of the rounded segments on either side. So the rounding was not gone, it was very small, but this time existed on either side. I hoped this would give the floodfill routine the handle it needed.

The reason it may be a problem only when at the top in landscape could be because the (still hypothetical) floodfill runs from bottom-right to bottom-left and like this upward to top. Even if you hold it landscape.

if so, at the cost of having rounded edges only at the bottom, it may be gne if you try these values:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCMenus]

"ItemHL"="0,73,0,0"

"ItemHW"="440,60,640,60"

"ItemTile"="10,60,158,0,11,22,33,44,55,66,77,88,99,110,121,132,143,154, 165"

"NaviHW"="440,18,640,18"

"NaviTile"="10,18,174,200,211,222,233,244,255,266,277,288,299,310,321,3 32,343"

"NaviIcon"="20,18,160,354,375,396,417"

PS: I am hesitant to actually change the bitmap. Not only do I not want to go there, but I fear that the manila programs, which do not use the registry setting, may still use the same bitmap, with hardcoded coordinates
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mouki_9:
soft resetting now. With the manila programs you mean the tabs and the menus there? like with the sms tab and all? I think they don't use that bitmap, because in the manila files i see their own menu items.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mouki_9:
Ok, with the new settings, all the programs appear to have the problem as in solitair city 3 (from now on known as SC3). And also slow as hell :P

SC3 on the other hand works now and is quite fast

my guess is you turned everything around lol
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cybermaus:
That is correct, I turned everything around, to test, and this outcome was in fact one that I had, if not expected, I had it listed one of the possible ones. It tells me a lot. Sorry for having to be the guinea pig.

I'm going to think it over a little, and add a small warning to the 1st post.

Please tell me: apart from slow and ugly, the original version, with only the menu from top bad: The menu did work? So I can describe it as unpleasant but workable, while a solution is worked upon?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mouki_9:
no problem in being testsubject :P

just want to get this working, cuz the bigger original menus were just too much scrolling.

the small menu's are working, it just takes longer to load and looks horrible, but is fully functional. And it only happens when the menus are @ the top of the screen. All the other apps i have have the menu @ the bottom of the screen.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cybermaus:
Well, I downloaded SC3, and mouki_9, you may have been a little too overenthousastic in your help, and missed a value or so. 'cause the suggestion made in post 34 did work.

Essentially, it positions the tiles so that there is 1-dot left of the purple transparancy color on all 4 corners. And it worked....

Anyway, problem solved, without changing the bitmap :)

(PS: there is a theoretical issue in landscape, because it uses 57 in stead of 60, so the centering is off for that. I predict that a menu in landscape with less then 6 menu items drawn from the top will still have the issue. We may have to still either adjust the bitmap, or accept only 5 landscape menu items (making it also 60))
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mouki_9:
can you make a cab to make sure all the settings are the same?

&*^&%%&%

i did the settings of post 34 again and now it was correct? This time i didn't only changed the bold values, but made sure i changed ALL the values.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cybermaus:
I'm sure I am partly to blame for making those bold that I found critical, while you probably had deviated in other values earlier.

You do know all you have to do is click on the registry file? It is as easy as a cab file.

Anyway, glad we found it, because it was reported before for Resco and wlTask as also having the problem. So it was already a nagging issue. I also updated the skinning post, as it means there is a restriction for the skinners.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mouki_9:
yeah i know, but i wanted to edit it fast, without first copy and paste it into notepad and changing extension and then activesync with laptop and copy to phone. I was quite faster making the changes directly :P

but as we now can see, safer to be sure :P

By the way, i have no problems with landscape whatsoever. They all work, but the menus are always centered in the middle of the screen, no matter what the width is.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cybermaus:
Added custom bitmap (re-colored only 6 but very critically placed pixels) to solve even the last remaining floodfill error (well, the last one I know about)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cybermaus:
Hi all,

some people in this thread packaged up as CAB, so you can (probably) also use it on stock roms. They are skinning it too, but I believe not playing with sizes, so you can still use the values found in this thread, if you like.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] funk1980:
The reg file doesn't work anymore in Dutty's 2.2 :(. When opening a random menu, the screen becomes darker (as usual), but no menu appears anymore... Restoring with the 'normal' reg file doesn't solve the problem, so it's hard reset for me!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Co0kieMonster:
Try this for Dutty's 2.2. It's working well for me.

I edited the .bmp file so that the edges are rounded like in the original (large) version.

@cybermaus: Great work decoding the registy values and solving the floodfill error. I just built on this for the menus in Dutty's 2.2.

As far as I've noticed the changes between the old (Dutty's 1.8-2.1) and new (2.2) menus are:

old: "ItemHW"= protrait_width, protrait_hight, landscape_width, landscape_hight

new: "ItemHW"= protrait_width, landscape_width, protrait_hight, landscape_hight

The default hights are 80 (72 before) and default landscape width is 740 (640 before).

The .bmp file is also larger in line with the new default values.

There are also three new values:

"LandscapeMaxItemCount"=dword:00000004 -> edited this to dword:00000007

"PortraitMaxItemCount"=dword:00000008 -> edited this to dword:0000000c (12 in decimal)

"FontSize"=dword:0000001C
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cybermaus:
I shall have a look when I am back.

For now, maybe you can go back by installing the above you referred cab? Or if you reinstall Dutty 2.2, please before you do anything else, extract the HTCMenu's and send it to me.

This week I cannot spend a lot of time on this, sorry.

Hi,

Ive just gone from an N95 to a T-Mobile MDA Vario IV (touch pro)

love the kit. love (trying) to tinker and very impressed with what can be done.

However..... why oh why did T-Mobile force us into a horrendous pink and white theme ????

OK. so i have tried the TF3D config - and managed to install several different themes but they all seemed to have problems. one had no 'music' sub menu, others have had black-on-black font, and others have just been really slow.

Is there a 'simple' way to just change the pink colours to black ?

or gives no chance for polaris overclock !!!!sry my englisch is it google i am german
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] ArtaxXP:
Also zur Zeit ist es außer mit dem Tool "HTC Performance" nicht möglich, die Qualcomm CPU zu übertakten. Selbst das Tool scheint nur die Grenze der CPU auf bis zu 624MHz hochzusetzen und übertaktet selbst garnicht. Bei Benchmarks gibt es zumindest keine Leistungssteigerung. Ich lass mich allerdings gerne eines Besseren belehren ;)

Gruß

Artax

I think it is not possible to overclock the Qualcomm CPU for now. There is a tool named "HTC Performance", but it only seems to set the max limit of the CPU up to 624MHz. It does not really overclock, which is shown in a constant performance in different benchmarks.

Hello djmattm,

could you please run a

and share the results with us!

There has been a lot of discussion over the HTC Performance program, but i haven't seen any results myself.

Could it be just placebo?

You can take a look here to view some results over at the Kaiser forum:

i don't know benchmarks, i think they're just numbers, i look to my daily-use phone that is more responsive, yes not so much maybe a 10-15% faster in the honeycomb wm6.5 menu; i don't think that is a placebo effect for myself because i read that thread before installing it so i installed it with a lot of doubts about that program
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Straynart:
Weirdly, My BatteryStatus still show 400MHz for the CPU. And I still can't see any improvement.

No better response, but the battery is drained a bit more…
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] ArtaxXP:
So is there anybody who can tell us what HTC Performance really does or what it should do? The bad results from some benchmarks could be cause of automatic underclock while lesser CPU usage. I think the program does not really overclock. It could be like a power plan using system files, which over/underclock the qualcomm when more/less speed is needed and set the max limit of the CPU up to 624MHz.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Rubikian:
No difference

I tried to benchmark with my core media player and there showed no difference. I knew it's not for qualcomm processor but I just want to try it out. With turn on or off on my polaris, it only gives me about 17fps :( in a divX movie...

Spb Benchmark v1.6 is freeware for personal use - just download from the Spb website after registration.

I've tested HTC Performance on the P3650 using Spb benchmark. In the "Main" area, the benchmarks record some significant benefits, in the "Storage Card" area there a few improvements.

Whether or not Spb Benchmark is regarded as objectively accurate (and this I know not), the relative measurements listed above are interesting.
