Sneak preview of my upcoming "Heineken" theme :D.

Has anyone figured out how to change the font and text of the today items, such as phone, text, email, etc. Being able to play with the colors in these would be awesome!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] 4D3:
yes you need to edit the cpr.

you need to change these lines:

<Text ID="Text" Width="100" Height="19" FontFamily="Nyala" FontSize="9" FontStyle="Bold" Wrap="False" Trimming="EllipsisCharacter">No Items</Text>

EDIT: Titanium_***.cpr is found in windows dir

I've been messing around with the .cpr and it's really cool, I'm using dreamweaver to edit the cpr code manually since I'm proeficient with html and php, Is there a better way to edit cpr files, i mean vitsually?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] m.carroll:
not really, its actively parsed on the device... you can also play around with the start menu cpr's :D

hello

here is a zip file with all the images from a theme that works completely in qvga size with no problems

in addition to the up & down, sometimes the selected item horizotal bar (like a selected file in file explorer) doesn't show too with your theme but used to work with the theme of the attached files

thanks

WM6.5 Theme Colors Wiki! - http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Windows_Mobile_6.5_Theme_Colors

Hopefully the beginning of something extremely useful. Trying to put together some sort of idea of how the whole thing works together.

Please edit this page to update your findings! I've been very hit and miss in finding what these registry values actually change, although I think I've got a pretty good handle on how the whole thing works...

If you need some explanation, please drop a PM I'd be happy to explain so we can all figure this out.

Thanks for the 4x4 QVGA StartMenu! This is exactly what I was looking for to make 6.5 complete for me (ALMOST don't miss Manilla 2D now) :)

Just thought I'd share something too. I just tweaked twolfs .cpr file to shrink the icons from 45pix to 36pix and reposition them to give each item a little breathing room.

nice work here guys..has anyone figured out how to change the font in titanium..i was messing around the registry and changed the name value in HKLM\\System\GWE\OOMFnt from tahoma to the system font im currently using and it changed the font to arial black or something and blew up the size of the font also..anyone wanna give it a shot and see wat it does on their device let me know(it looks ugly so be prepared:D)...im basically @ a brick wall now..d screenshot is below

ps: installing the wm7 theme changed the font for the weather, but nothing seems to be changed in the registry, so can someone take a look @ that too:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ibrythill:
You have to edit titanium cpr files and change font for every panel. this can take a while...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lakeside00:
u kno..i thought of that just a few minutes ago and i went into the windows directory and pulled your cpr file, but the font name is unchanged in the your cpr for titanium weather, so that dosn't explain the font change(i'm guessing there might be a workaround somewhere in the registry)...but that means that every time the theme gets changed it has to be redone allover, because my understanding is for every theme a new cpr file gets re-written to the windows directory(correct me if i'm wrong)..and the font used has to be present on the phone to make sure it works..

i'll start working on your cpr file and change the font for the panels..i'll send u the file wen i'm done(will take a few days cause im pretty busy). and we'll see wat can be done

for those of us whom are VGA thermers, can someone with QVGA resources post all of the pngs listed in http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3613354&postcount=120 preferrably from the classicblue theme. This would serve as a good basis for QVGA theming, and in combination with the base theme posted there as well we should be able to produce perfectly working QVGA themes.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] m.carroll:
thats nice, but those are "already-doctored" files. I think it's important to have base images which are originals from MS. So ClassicBlue would be best :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jonnrb:
To build a QVGA only theme you just cut the resource resolutions in half. It's as simple as that. If you want to build an all device compatible theme however, you need to use VGA images and they will be scaled when used on a QVGA device.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] m.carroll:
were it only so simple...

i understand your point of cutting the resolutions in half, that being said, i still want native resolution resources. image scaling is a completely lossy process, and as a graphic designer scaling like that makes me cringe. i'll just go dump a QVGA 6.5 rom and do it myself.

the pureblack theme i posted earlier did not function properly on QVGA (IE: it wasnt scaled down like you say) i do believe all-device compatible themes are possible, but until we get real specs on theming from microsoft we're all just guessing.

I'm remotely considering making my themes for multiple devices (vga, qvga, blah), and If I'm not mistaking, bronzeres.dll auto-scales images to all resolutions right? I'd only have to worry about my .cpr tweaks, wallpapers and so on, right? I know folks have gone back and forth on this thread about multi res compatibility on themes but I'm not sure anyone has come up with a final word on this. :eek:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jonnrb:
Yup Titanium scales. CPRs don't. Question answered :)

EDIT: Just as a sidenote: any CHome app (LockScreen, Titanium, Start Menu, etc.) will scale the images. The only thing you have to worry about is the CPRs. When making a theme that works on all devices, make a scaled CPR for every resolution. As complex as that may seem, all you have to do is scale the layout and put the resolution in the filename (LS_LockScreen...640_480.CPR). But yeah... CPR editing and porting is a pain in the ass :D

Hey,

Ive been away without a laptop, and while bord i was messing with my phone.

Anyone seen this screen before?

If not, basically press and hold on one of the icons in the honeycomb and this will allow you to order them.

Essentially if this is possible there is somewhere where the order is stored, if we can find this we can stop the stupid order that windows mobile decides to do.

as you can see from my honeycomb there is not really any order such as, folders, then links etc it just alphabetical which is messy.

If this has been found then i apologise for wasting a post!!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rpereira:
Which theme are you using? The weather plugin is highly dependant on the Titanium .cpr in order to display on the home screen. So, if you installed a custom theme after the weather plugin it's most likely that the weather plugin's .cpr got overridden by the theme. That's why I started including in my custom .cpr's a section tu spport the weather plugin.
