Hi Micha

Thanks for your offer. In fact it took me some time to sort this out. Now it is working as i apply bronzeres.dll with a cab, so i don't need to disable Titanium. At the end i refresh Titanium so everything gets updated. The idea is later to avoid swapping out bronzeres.dll, when all theme builders make their themes without changing bronzeres.

A VGA version should not be difficult the only problem i have is that i only have a QVGA device. The cprs i have included are the themes cprs for QVGA, complemented with most of the plugins and some modded by me to get support for the plugins. I am still working on some icons and layouts. If someone with a VGA device has cprs for this themes filled with all the most used plugins i would be very grateful to receive them so i could put together a set for VGA. The same also for other resolutions. This shall be a theme switcher, so i am not interested for skins which can be changed by applying the corresponding tsk.

The way the theme switcher works is very very simple, and it works with Mortscript:

The themes must be installed first, all of them. Then we copy into windows the cprs for all this themes, Titanium_240x320.cpr and 320x240.cpr, Neo_240x320.cpr and 320x240.cpr, Lizzy_240x320 and 320x240.cpr etc etc.

By calling the themes menu mscr the menu pops up with all available options:

Save the current theme: This backs up the currenty active Titanium cprs and bronzeres.dll, so that one can revert back to what he had.

The next buttons are for applying any of the themes. This is done by inserting in the ExtensibilityXML registry the name of the cpr to be used, without touching the rest of the information in this registry, that means your personal plugin setup (active plugins and their order) stays the same. Then the corresponding bronzeres.dll is loaded by cab and when available the themes tsk is applied. At the end Titanium is refreshed and the theme has been changed.

As said this is still a bit rudimentary and i will with the time make it smoother and apply some cosmetics to make it look better.

The problem with the cab is that i have only built very simple ones like for loading bronzeres.dll into windows. For this i would need a cab which:

1. installs all the themes,

2. copies the TitaniumThemes folder into storage card,

3. copies all cprs into windows and the shortcut into start menu/programs
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
I almost thought, that you're doing i like that... it's not rudimentary - it's a very good way :) Perhaps a little bit to complicated for some things (why not using ExtensibilityXML to approve only Plugins, which works with the skin). Thanx for explanation.

But one thing... I don't know if you assume this will be in future, that's noboy would change the bronzeres.dll - I think not all developers will know this way - and there will be much more edits in future of other Titanium-Files perhaps - I would save it and have a look, that it would work with and without Bronzeres. Save the differences of each installation to the original theme - and you mustn't care for such things (I know - that's very rudimentary - but how do you say in english: If the mountain won't come to Mohammed, Mohammed must go to the mountain :) )

I will have a look for my VGA-cpr - at the moment I haven't very much installed.

To your problems:

The problem with the cab is that i have only built very simple ones like for loading bronzeres.dll into windows. For this i would need a cab which:

1. installs all the themes,

What's the problem there? The themes are all installed by cab - so alltogether should also be installed like cab - Perhaps - I don't now - you must only cascade the .cabs in Installation - with between "saving" - that could work

2. copies the TitaniumThemes folder into storage card,

*g* For this case you asked in the other thread. In this case... make an installer after installation (I think you have JMLToday ( *link*), too? - you know what appears after Installation? In this script you could put the copy...

If you want to make it International... why not putting the Name of "Internal Storage" in the language-File? Or: Ask the user, where he wants to have his "Save-Files" - then you have the complete working path for you.

There's no reason to put something in a .cab, which canbe much easier done after installation. You need it anyway the whole time if somebody creates a new Titanium Skin - or should then the cab be reinstalled? :)

3. copies all cprs into windows and the shortcut into start menu/programs

Same as 2. - only back... and how to add Shortcuts in an .inf-File - I think that you already knows, right?

Keep up your good work - when it's working - than very much people will know, for what you'd make this effort!

Thank you

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
I did not want to touch the rest of ExtensibilityXML because i want to leave the setup of the plugins everyone already has. Anyway only the plugins supported by the theme will show up.

Some developers to which i have talked are willing to change their approach and try to leave bronzeres untouched for the next versions of their themes. Anyway the possibility to swap bronzeres is in the script and it is working well. I have fried to chnage theme without bronzeres at the beginning but for most of the themes the slider panel image is in bronzeres, so it does not look good without changing it.

Thanks i will appreciate that.

Yes i was thinking doing it like this but i have only done the very sinple cabs to install bronzeres up to now using the cab wizard, so i really am offside with building cabs.

You are right on this, the script could be launched after installation and just copy the TitaniumThemes folder into Storage Card. I did choose this name as i used it in my scripts but i could change it to Internal Storage to suit the needs of non WWE users, for you it would be Speicherkarte right? :D

Ok, can go in the same script, i thought pakaging everything into 1 cab install would be easier but you are right.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
No - not "Speicherkarte" :) "Interner Speicher" would be the word, which Microsoft has chosen...

With Cab-Wizard you won't have any chance... you need the .inf-File... and I know... it's hard... there's no description for our purpose at one place - I had to seek very much around until I had the cab-concept e.g. for JMLToday.

But so I could help you - I will make bytheway a description with a .cab-Frame for JMLToday 5.3 - but I can give you the additional informations what you need to get it work with AT Plugin Installer.

Therefore I would need the complete directory-structure, which you want to cab... and a little time... :)

Send me a private message, ok? Don't want to blow up your Thread with Things that doesn't concern all users.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
I am working to iron out the cprs for the different themes, to get support for most of the plugins out there today. When they are ready for QVGA i will try to resize them for the other resolutions with the new tool that came out, and post them for you to test them for me in your devices. When they are working well i can post installers for all resolutions.

I need information of which themes people is using to see which ones are worth to be included in the theme switcher, so pls. vote in the poll.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Cool Claus, but the poll isn't good :)

You develop a Theme Switcher - and in the Poll you can only choose one Theme :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
You are totally right Micha, it was late when i posted the poll and forgot to change the option to let choose several options. Now i don't find how to change this option. Any mod can help me do that?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
There are some resized cprs to be tested on the first post for VGA and WQVGA. If someone with this resolution has TitaniumShadowNeo or WM7 theme installed could test them, i would be grateful. Pls. don't forget to backup your Titanium cprs first.

Will be happy for any feedback to correct the cprs.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] goraps:
I have been waiting so long for someone to do this. Thank you.

Here are screenshots of my 2 real issues so far.

1) The is no icon for the SMS/MMS panel.

2) notice how the word phone is cutoff on the Phone panel.

P.S. I am using it on a Diamond
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Thanks for testing it, i will look into the missing icon and move the text a bit up for this panel tomorrow, and repost the cprs. Are those the only issues you found?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] goraps:
Actually I did make one simple change to the Titanium Weather section. I changed the height of the Day2Icon, Day3Icon, Day4Icon and Day5Icon on the fist page. The icons were streched based on their current size. I am using the HTC ones. Here is the section I changed

<Image ID="Day2Icon" Left="124" Top="86" Width="72" Height="46" />
<Image ID="Day3Icon" Left="204" Top="86" Width="72" Height="46" />
<Image ID="Day4Icon" Left="284" Top="86" Width="72" Height="46" />
<Image ID="Day5Icon" Left="364" Top="86" Width="72" Height="46" />
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
For point 1 the cpr points to :

Source="\Program Files\greatbal\MyTitanium\Shadow\Images\CHome_Messages_desat_inactive.png"
and
Source="\Program Files\greatbal\MyTitanium\Shadow\Images\CHome_Messages_sat_active.png"

This images are installed when installing the cab on the TitaniumShadowNeo thread, pls. check if you have the folder and the images in it.

As for point 2 i shifted the text 5 points up and updated the cpr on the first post.

Regarding the weather icons i did not change much as there are 4 or 5 options for icons (i use beyond invisible icons) and every set of icons looks and displays different.

Have you tried also landscape, and does it display ok?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Converted Titanium cprs for more resolution and fixed some layouts for the WM7 and TitaniumShadowNeo themes. Now for QVGA, WQVGA, QVGA square, VGA, WVGA, VGA square. Need testers to try them out and give feedback on what to change. Pls. backup your Titanium cprs before replacing them.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Included in first post also Titanium cprs for Default theme, for QVGA, WQVGA, QVGA square, VGA, WVGA, VGA square. Need testers to try them out and give feedback on what to change. Pls. backup your Titanium cprs before replacing them.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] goraps:
OK I fixed the text messaging images. I think they are missing from greatbal's CABs I went back and looked but didn't see the images so I just created my own and placed them in the folder. Could you post greatbal's original messaging images

The word phone is still cut-off. I tried a few things and couldn't get it to change. It almost looks like it is under the text panel below it.

I don't use landscape so I haven't tried it. I have my sensor disabled.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:

:::This issue was resolved by claus1953 in the post #34 below:::

OK. I am having a time with trying to get this to work on VGA Touch Pro Titanium with WM 6.5.

I tried:

Installation:

1. Unzip the enclosed file TitaniumThemes to Storage Card. (check)

2. Have all your plugins installed, so that the themes can load them. (hmmm)

2. The next step is to install all themes, below you find the links to the (check; note I only installed neo-shadow)

corresponding themes threads. By installing the themes you make the

images, icons and necessary files available for switching. You should

already have the Default Theme installed, if not find below a cab for it.

3. Install the cab with the cpr files for your resolution (check)

4. Copy the Theme Switcher shortcut from the apps folder in (check)

TitaniumThemes into Windows/Start Menu/Programs.

5. Apply the tsk of your choice (please see error below)

Usage:

Click on the Theme Switcher shortcut. It opens a menu with all available themes to switch to, but you can only switch to themes you have installed. It switches in some seconds. If the switching did go well the message "complete" should come up.

When I click on the Theme Picker shortcut I receive the error "There is no application associated with "themes_menu". Run the application first, then open this file from within the application."

I'm sure I am doing something silly wrong here, help/ideas appreciated. I am honestly not sure I have mortscript and didn't find an install after a quick search (seems it is part of 6.5?).

Thanks to all.

Added a pic of where I am at. Replacing the bar across the screen with a bubble is a great start, and certainly makes me happy. Basically, my goal from here is to replace the preview text of e-mail, text, windows live, etc with icons (prefrerably the ones that shadow neo uses)... thanks again everybody.

note: added this q on ppcgeeks @: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4503505#post4503505
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
It looks like MortScript is missing, download here.

http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=download&action=list&category=18

Install Mortscript and run it so that it will recognize all installed scripts. The run the themes menu again and it should appear.

Now if you only have default theme and titanium shadow neo theme, you will only be able to switch between those two. If you try to switch to another theme, some parts of the theme will be missing, like sliders or icons, as they are installed when installing the themes cab.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] -Enkidu-:
Sure was, I cannot believe I didn't find it.

Thank you SO much for the link & help!

I will note this on the thread I started on the ppc site as well.

Hi claus1953,

Soo, I thought the shadow was removed (outside the orange outline on the attached image). You can hardly see my Grams in the attached image. Also, it appears your analog clock looks somewhat transparent and mine does not, no?

Man, thank you so much, I would really like to see this working the way I want, in my opinion this theme will make titanium the most efficient, fun to use and best looking home screen I have seen for a mobile (actually makes me want to figure how to do this myself...).

Yet again, I thank you for any input.

"Theme Switcher shortcut" in "apps folder in TitaniumThemes"?? Where is Titanium themes?

I even installed the program in my SD card then I found a folder called Windows inside that I found lots of cprs and a setup xml file. But where is the Theme switcher shorcut??

Please help!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Installation:
1. Unzip the enclosed file TitaniumThemes to Storage Card.
2. Have all your plugins installed, so that the themes can load them.

4. Copy the Theme Switcher shortcut from the apps folder in

5. Apply the tsk of your choice

In point 1 you unzip the zip file downloaded from the provided link

http://www.4shared.com/file/12673907...iumThemes.html

to Storage Card. This creates a folder TitaniumThemes in your Storage Card with several subfolders. One is apps, inside there is a scriptshortcut. Copy it to your start menu, wherever you want for easy access.

As for point 3 the cab file for your resolution cpr you have to install to device, not to storage card, as they have to go into windows.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bikram:
OK what am I doing wrong?

1> I installed the	WVGAcprs.CAB since I have Xperia.

2> I unzipped TitaniumThemes Zip file in my storage card

3> Using Total Commander I copied the menu.exe from the apps folder of the TitaniumThemes, and pasted it in Windows/StartUp/Programs then where I wanted it.

4> Installed all the themes I wanted.

5> Then I went to the starup>program and clicked on the Menu.exe what I got is a menu showing me SMS|Email|Contact|Task|Note|Appoint|Excel|MMS

Ok so what am not doing right?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
You need a shortcut for the themes_menu.mscr, not for the menu.exe. Try copying the enclosed shortcut to your start menu programs folder. Unzip before.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MrMef:
Ok I am apparently missing something here :confused:

Installation:
1. Unzip the enclosed file TitaniumThemes to Storage Card.
2. Have all your plugins installed, so that the themes can load them.
2. The next step is to install all themes, below you find the links to the
corresponding themes threads. By installing the themes you make the

already have the Default Theme installed, if not find below a cab for it.
3. Install the cab with the cpr files for your resolution
4. Copy the Theme Switcher shortcut from the apps folder in
TitaniumThemes into Windows/Start Menu/Programs.
5. Apply the tsk of your choice

So following this I have the following issues:

2. not sure what plugins I need to have, I installed both default + WM7 theme which erased my current custom setup without having the intended option to backup within ThemeSwitcher, anyhow will know next time

4. I can't find it there - no lnk file I could use or EXE suitable to link to.

(ref. http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/6502/fullscreencapture149200.jpg)

Please help me out some to get this sorted, thanks!

EDIT: regarding point 4 I found it, though it's just a "bak" file and it's not called themeswitcher lol so got confused
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Ok guys, i rewrote the theme changer for easier install and operation. Now you only need to

Install the plugins you like, on the first post there are links

Download the zip file with the theme changer folder

Unzip to storage card

Run the installer

Switch the themes

See the detailed instructions on the first post.

Give feedback if everything works

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WAIKIKI728:
Run the installer

Switch the themes

Give feedback if everything works

The installer doesn´t create any program icon in startup menu amd i have several problems with some panels ...instead of all when the most of them are working well...

Good job for being a beta it´s really a good job..:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Uploaded new zip file with corrected cprs (text, layout and icons), added support for ArteseaTwitter and Taskanium plugins, and fixed issue that shortcut was not copied into Windows/Start Menu/Programs.

Just one thing ....there is a new beta skin...maybe you can have a look...and ...perhaps...why not?to colaborate if you want or just to adpt it to other resolutions;)

http://www.modaco.com/content-page/294091/wm6-5-skin-wqvga-titanium-sense/page/60/

It´s just a beta but it´s a great beginning...:D

Edit.I miss the copera in the josito skin...the images panel don´t work anf the twolf first panel has a problem also..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Thanks for the feedback, i will look into the position of the images in the TWolf Multiplugin page 1 in the Josito theme, you have WQVGA right? I will also add the Opera plugin, as i forgot it in the Josito theme. As soon as done i will post the corrected cpr set for you here.

In fact that Sense theme looks very cool, i will try to extract the cab to see the cprs and the rest of the files, maybe if it is not too complicated i can try to add the other plugins, and convert to other resolutions.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WAIKIKI728:

Much better ...Than you:)....

Just one thing...the system panel doesn´t show me the percentage in the icons...is it this for the plugin itself or it is something we can improve in the skin?¿?

P.D:I hope you know what i mean:o(sorry my bad English)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aaronpoweruser:
if i have a application with TICS woudnt it insert into the theme the same as it normally would thereby making this work with non supported plugins ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Yes - TICS would insert it into this Theme - and if you'd have different .plg's for the Themes - you could tell TICS, which .plg is for which Theme - so you can insert a Plugin in different ways to different Themes.

So Themes an get much more variable in future.
