Nearly ready

Thanks. I noticed that the dialler window is still showing the original background image (Classic blue I think it is) that installed with the ROM i'm using so I need to find out how I update that. Other than that I'm happy with it so I should be able to release it over the next couple of days.

I should mention that i've already installed it on my HTC Touch Dual and the gfx all look fine. I can't test it on any other device because the dual is the only one I have...

Thanks.

do the images in bronzeres.dll need to be scalled to a different size for qvga or does windows scale it automatically?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] larbke666:
automatically i guess.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rpereira:
not at all, they're usually larger than what's used on the device, so they're automatically scaled down to fit different resolutions. In, most images, including additional icons won't require any scaling, everything is done through the .cpr's, that's where you'll find yourself specifying image sizes.

awesome, thank you for the quick response.

CPR color codes!

First, let me correct you to state that the color codes on the CPRs have 8 and not 7 numbers.

Second, having that in mind, after reading this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3272435&postcount=1 and doing some testing, I got to this conclusion:

The color codes on CPR file mean #AABBGGRR, where AA is the ALPHA channel value (opacity of the color, if i got the explanation right...), BB is the blue color value, GG is the green color value and RR is the red color value. :D

Attached is my current homescreen with the text color changed using this pattern.

Cheers!

Thanks for the clarification, makes a lot more sense now. Some .cpr's are using 0x000000 and 0xffffff - how would this work? "0x" assumed as the alpha channel?

I like the theme you've got there as well, really nice and clean - any chance of making it available for porting to WQVGA?

Hiya guys i'm working on a new theme file, lemme know what you think...

It's still 'work in progress', the theme is a combination of m.carroll's glossblack and Windows Se7en upcoming OS.

step 1: Install the "SdkCerts.cab" file if you haven't already done this for another program.

step 2: Install the "WM6.5_Gloss_W7_QVGA" file.

step 3: Change your wallpaper to your favorite wallpaper that is attached (or use your own). the easiest way is just to select a jpg file and choose the "set as wallpaper" option. (tip: "Win_Se7en" wallpaper will look good on both portrait as landscape)...

step 4: Go to your today settings and select the "GlossBlack" theme and enjoy...

This theme is for Windows Mobile 6.5 only, specially made for wqvga so 400x240 (Samsung Omnia).

I want to make two request to any skinners out there.

1. A mac OS theme would be simple and sweet! A gray theme with an apple of coarse the purple dust wallpaper.

2. Is it possible to have the the top and bottom bars aways transparent? I dont think this is controlled via registry key but im not sure. Its really odd how the transparency of the bars isnt always consistent and im wondering if this can be exploited.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cassiano:
CPRs color codes and theme

Hi,

First, about your color code question, since the values are hexadecimal, I think you're right, "0x" would be the value for the alpha, but I can't be sure right now, because I'm no coder, just a hobbyist ... (actually I'm a lawyer :D).

Second, I'm going out now, but as soon as I get back I'll post my skin. It's actually for VGA, but I guess I can make it WVGA too.

HTC Theme

I'm not sure if this has been done but I didn't see anything when I looked, so decided to have a hand at creating a HTC theme. - Edit: just saw Morpheuszg's marvelous theme, mean no discredit for not having spotted it earlier or by attempting something similar.

As this is my first attempt at a) making a theme, b) making a cab, and c) making graphics for the Diamond, this is pretty much just a proof of concept that I'm posting here in the hope of getting suggestions.

The concept is essentially that WinMo6.5 themes allow something much more in feeling with Manilla than the classic black, so I've attempted to jazz it up a bit with some of the HTC elements where I can. The scrollbar is a problem area as far as my imagination is concerned and I apologize for direness of the initial attempt.

The todayscreen, however, I think looks great. And due to having the HTC menu enhancements, I haven't been able to test the menu. I also couldn't figure out how to display a wallpaper on the start menu without it being washed over. Any suggestions for what to do to the scrollbars and other improvements?

Cheers

Hi,

With the newer 6.5 roms (build >23000) from Khuanchai or sector I've some interesting behavior:

I created a 6.5 theme myself (slight modification from pureblack2). I install the cab everything looks quite good (the files are in the right place: .tsk in windows, theme files in my documents/theme directory).

Then I select my theme (settings - today) to see my great and shiny theme but now some magic happens: the colors of my theme get set, but there are no 6.5 menus (old 6.1 style) and all the theme files get deleted (.tsk from windows, .png from my documents/theme, even the theme folder)!!!

I tried to set the file attributes in the cab to "readonly" and even "system" - no go.

Enclosed themes in rom are working as expected.

Anyone a clue whats going on here? My fault, roms fault?

I asked this question over at modaco with no answer...

johoe

I have the idea as follows:

Have the 4 accross like in your bubble menu, but instead of them being in the ziggag, could you make the list comb, but to take 4 icons across the top, in a row with no zigzag?

so it would look like a grid and not a honey comb?

can you do this?

First off thanks for a great topic and thread. Been looking for a little guidance when it comes to building your own theme. I would say I am at 70% done...

Having some issues trying to track down the files I need to edit in order for me changes to be seen.

On the main WM 6.5 today screen I have it 90% the way I like it. The only issue I have right now is the top task bar is a dark to light fade and not the task bar I thought I set. Wondering what that file might be called. The bottom bar is transparent and shows the background image through it no problems. For the top task bar I did make a 640x120 image renamed it "taskbar.png" and added it as a file section of my cab. Seems like it still not replacing the top task bar. (EDIT it seems to be only a little bit transparent I can see some of the background if I look hard enough).

The other two areas I have seemed to miss are the top and bottom bars on the main start page. Both are not transparent (They are a dark to light grey fade). Any ideas on what these files are called so I could replace them would be great.

Thanks :)
