How to change the ME picture?

Hey folks,

May I know how to change the ME picture?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Danni3:
possible, i assume it would be based on the people panel, i believe you ask Casey_boy since he built a similar office panel.

i myself am working on a weather panel, clock panel, phone panel, and a resource panel (woot >.>)

any suggestions for the clock panel?, right now it just has the time and battery percentage (no icons)

to do list:

-kill that damn black bar

-finish phone and clock panel

-weather panel

-integrate something into that magnifying glass

-maybe add active communications to comm manager panel (icon for what is on)

-change the task manager panel into a resource info panel that opens up to task manager

edit the skull.png inside your images folder or select a different picture in your theme settings
[Windows Mobile Themes] Yagbadoodles:
I suggest for the CLOCK panel, an animated Analog Clock :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Zukunft:
why we use a complete panel for time ? so we can see the time only on homescreen.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dave760:
i see a lot of modifaction that was made on this theme but its hard to find them cause they are hiding between the replys....anyway...any change should be posted on the fisrt post!!!and i think that the first reply "dude its horrible" also should be change cause this theme is amazing :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] seclub:
wow mate the right version is awesome, can't wait for it :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] -NRG-:
When you can choose an account go to the message tab, here you have multiple options. You should turn off "Display account picker when opening Messaging".

I think this will solve your problem.

I would say alarm settings or showing when the alarm-time is set.
[Windows Mobile Themes] young blade:
Thanks for your input

@Casey_boy

Sorry for my late response.. went to sleep..

But Thank you verry much.. I've edited your code and now it looks like this:

<panel name="Office" X="5" Y="965" height="90" width="90" visible="true" layout="Free">
<icon
X="0" Y="0"
width="90" height="90"
path="#$THEME_BASE#\Images\office.png"
/>
<text
X="10" Y="75"
height="15" width="80"
alignment="Near"
text="Office"
fontcolor="0,0,0"
fonttype="ZegoeL,8,false"
/>
<event type="Click">
<action execute=":RunProcedure" parameters="WhenShowPage(office)" />
</event>
</panel>

:cool:
[Windows Mobile Themes] Casey_boy:
Definitely possible - quite a bit harder to code though than the office hub was lol. Though, should be able to grab bits of code from other parts of the theme.

Trouble is though, this wouldn't be following the WP7 theme?! Perhaps, in arley12's next beta we can decide upon what should be integrated in and what should be optional.

@young blade - glad you got it working :)

[Windows Mobile Themes] young blade:
Is there any way to improve picture quality of the slides on the home page.:confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] Casey_boy:
To change the phone tile

In case anyone was wondering...

If you change the missed calls app, as shown, then you can not only view your missed calls but also make calls. This will probably only work with HTCs (I'm using a HD2) - but in theory if your handset maker has a similar app you could change it to that.

Find:

<panel name="Tile1" X="5" Y="15" height="90" width="90" visible="true" layout="Free">
<icon X="0" Y="0" height="90" width="90" path="#$THEME_BASE#\Images\#@TilesColor#.png"/>
<text
X="0" Y="0"
name="Missed Calls"
height="90" width="90"
text="#$SystemState,PhoneMissedCalls,map,[-|0-]#"
leftmargin="47"
topmargin="27"
textimagesscale="0.5"
textimages="#$THEME_BASE#\Images\Numbers\#$char#.png"
path="#$THEME_BASE#\Images\MCalls.png"
/>
<text X="10" Y="75" height="15" width="80" alignment="Near" text="Phone" fontcolor="255,255,255" fonttype="ZegoeL,8,false"/>
<event type="Click">
<action execute=":CallHistory" parameters=""/>
</event>
</panel>

change to the action execute line to:

<action execute="cprog.exe" parameters=""/>

Now when you click the tile - you'll see a recent calls list as well as the ability to make a call :)

Casey
[Windows Mobile Themes] -NRG-:
I'm using the theme right now and i like it a lot, thanks for your work Arley!

Donation: 04J64744G8604642N

I might donate more depending on the progress and future updates of the theme.

Keep up the good work, also Casey_boy and Danni3!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Casey_boy:
I don't think so. I think this is either due to the ratio size distorting the pics or due to the module the code is using (which is throttlelauncher's not a custom one for the theme).

Thanks :) (maybe I should have a donate button :p)

Also, I have improved the Office page a little - just some new icons and a background. Any other suggestions? I think instead of just releasing; I will see if Danni3 will add it to his patch release.

[Windows Mobile Themes] -NRG-:
Looks great all though i would remove the lines around the office logo in the top left cornder completely.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Casey_boy:
Hmm... I've been trying :p the lines aren't actually there. It's because the logo is a different image to the background and for some reason they're just appearing on the screen.

I think the solution is to integrate the logo into the background. However, I'm worried about how this will look on the different screens and resolutions.

Also guys, I'm thinking about a music hub, like the one below (screenshot from the emulator)

We could easily map in the following way:

music > either a media player or to a music folder

video > either a media player or to a video folder

podcasts > either a media player or to a podcast folder

radio > radio app

marketplace > marketplace (I know in the real one it'd be to a different type of marketplace) or to some online store

wifi sync > maybe to a connection manager or something?

Casey
[Windows Mobile Themes] Cosmocronos:
Thanks a lot for the tip, it worked!

The only problem is that both "text" and "Outlook" open the inbox page; what should I do to re-direct "text" to the SMS app?

TIA

[Windows Mobile Themes] young blade:
Why O Why is the htc messaging only working after I have accesed it first from the start menu??

Looks like its has to be loaded in taskmanager before you can acces from the hub...

anyone else??:confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] lesangmd:
To slow

It seem a nicely theme, but loading very very slow !
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sultan1993:
me too...that isn't good :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] Casey_boy:
I've got the same trouble. When you click on the Text tile - do you get the normal windows bar at the top and does the theme become unresponsive?

EDIT: OK, I think I've got a fix. I'll just test it a bit first to check.

Casey
[Windows Mobile Themes] young blade:
please do and let us know...

I've got a feeling that this thread will make sure the new 6.5 owners won't need wp7 for a long time..:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] Casey_boy:
Fix for messaging client (I think)

So, to fix the Messaging_Client not opening I changed the properties of the tile. Instead of now having an event, we use a simple execute function. It seems to work fine.

Here is the original code for the sms tile:

<panel name="sms" X="5" Y="110" height="90" width="90" visible="true" layout="Free">
<icon X="0" Y="0" height="90" width="90" path="#$THEME_BASE#\Images\#@TilesColor#.png"/>
<text
X="0" Y="0"
name="Unread SMS"
height="90" width="90"
text="#$SystemState,MessagingSmsUnread,map,[-|0-]#"
leftmargin="47"
topmargin="27"
textimagesscale="0.5"
textimages="#$THEME_BASE#\Images\Numbers\#$char#.png"
path="#$THEME_BASE#\Images\USMS.png"
/>
<text X="10" Y="75" height="15" width="80" alignment="Near" text="Text" fontcolor="255,255,255" fonttype="ZegoeL,8,false"/>
<event type="Click">
<action execute="Windows\Messaging_Client.exe" parameters=""/>
</event>
</panel>

Let's now remove the event code and, instead, simply use a exec on the icons:

<panel name="sms" X="5" Y="110" height="90" width="90" visible="true" layout="Free">
<icon X="0" Y="0" height="90" width="90" path="#$THEME_BASE#\Images\#@TilesColor#.png" exec="Windows\Messaging_Client.exe" />
<text
X="0" Y="0"
name="Unread SMS"
height="90" width="90"
text="#$SystemState,MessagingSmsUnread,map,[-|0-]#"
leftmargin="47"
topmargin="27"
textimagesscale="0.5"
textimages="#$THEME_BASE#\Images\Numbers\#$char#.png"
path="#$THEME_BASE#\Images\USMS.png"
exec="Windows\Messaging_Client.exe"
/>
<text X="10" Y="75" height="15" width="80" alignment="Near" text="Text" fontcolor="255,255,255" fonttype="ZegoeL,8,false"/>

</panel>

I'm not sure if there are any drawbacks to this - though I haven't found any.

[Windows Mobile Themes] ryomahino:
Hi guys, exist any chance to have the original graphics of WP7 from the emulator?

If we have the original Files, we just need to assembly using xml code.

If anybody cant post the files and a screenshot I could assembly the player page.

One Advice:

Instead of putting two xml files (for HTC users and non HTC users) why dont you make only one xml and modified the config to select if you are a Htc user or dont. If you want an example see the xml of new Hero Music widget, in the config you can select what music player do you want to use and what size of the widget you want.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dimzy_05:
Fix for text tile

edit Home.xml

find this line

<action execute="Messaging_Client.exe" parameters="-service "#$SystemState,MessagingSmsAccountName#""/>

and replace with this

<action execute="tmail.exe" parameters="-service "#$SystemState,MessagingSmsAccountName#""/>

hope this help.:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] Casey_boy:
I agree, the original background files would be good - I don't have the emulator installed though.

Yep, that would definitely be the best way. Do you mean modify the config.xml file or the throttlelauncher config?

Yep that works, but this my fix above is if the user has the HTC Messaging Client installed.

Casey
[Windows Mobile Themes] young blade:
@Casey_boy

Thanks a lot

for the ones who prefer htc messaging here's the code::)

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

never mind this post I think the results are the same....
[Windows Mobile Themes] ryomahino:
Yes I mean modified the config.xml of the WindowsPhone7 Theme for choose between to options for example Messaging between HTC users and non HTC users

And put in the home.xml

If messaging=htcuser...

and

If messaging=nonhtcuser...

That way you use one xml and let you choose for your own convenience.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sultan1993:
can you make PHONE hub go straight to HTC Dialer, not Windows Dialer
[Windows Mobile Themes] Casey_boy:
Did it not work? Or do you mean your code looks the same as I posted?

Cool. Fancy trying it?

Casey
[Windows Mobile Themes] young blade:
@Casey_boy

the outcome would be the same.. my exec: was linked to:

\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Messaging\HTC Messages.lnk:rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Themes] ljjehl:
How about a default Home page setup? Say you press the left arrow from applications to go back to the Home page, it seems to stay where it was last accessed and not move to the upper left corner of the Home page (By Phone panel). Since most people tend to use the Phone and Email/Text panel a lot, I would assume that would be a preferred option....

Observation/Question

I really like this (Great Work & Thanks to all that have contributed) I have this on an HD2 WM6.5.x rom and it seems to me that it is using alot of cpu time (It could also be time to do a HR to clear the dust, this rom have been on for over a week) ;) anyway I wanted to see if anyone else has noticed this.

Cheers

any progress on the weather panel? have you gotten it to accept the config settings?
[Windows Mobile Themes] valkryomnia:
Waiting for Danni's v.1.4 (Don't rush yourself.), and Casey's updates!

Goodwork guys.

Also, my music path for s2p doesn't seem to be working anymore.

Any reason why? I have the following code:

exec="\My Storage\Program Files\S2P\s2p.exe"

under the MusicVideos tab.
[Windows Mobile Themes] young blade:
1) you need to edit the HOME.xml and find the following part of the code:

</panel>
<panel name="MusicVideos" X="5" Y="395" height="90" width="185" visible="true" layout="Free">
<icon
X="0" Y="0"
width="185" height="90"
exec="\Storage Card\Program Files\CorePlayer\Player.exe"
path="#$THEME_BASE#\Images\MusicVideos.png"
/>
<text X="10" Y="75" height="15" width="80" alignment="Near" text="Music" fontcolor="255,255,255" fonttype="ZegoeL,8,false"/>
</panel>

There where it says exec=''\xxxxxxxx

replace xxxxxxxx with the path to your player

as you can see I'm using coreplayer from my storage card..:cool:
[Windows Mobile Themes] Omega Ra:

[Windows Mobile Themes] kinkyy:
if you like to have the music panel looking like in the screenshot , copy .xml in your WindowsPhone7 folder and .png in the Images folder. if you want to keep your settings from home.xml and just to replace the music panel:

<text X="10" Y="75" height="15" width="80" alignment="Near" text="Music" fontcolor="255,255,255" fonttype="ZegoeL,8,false"/>
</panel>

with

<panel name="MusicVideos" X="5" Y="395" height="90" width="185" visible="true" layout="Free">

How exactly do I change icons? (like the one on the office tile)

@Omega Ra

you will have to use a photo edithing pogram to make the blackwallpaper transparant and than youl see your homepage wallpaper.. (just did it)

use the atached picture:

its because when they code another panel the theme recognizes it as a third column and thus you can scroll left and right i believe

before i release v1.35 does anyone want me to add specific panels already made, and has anyone fixed the all contact page to make the list at the top (not starting from the middle)

to do list:

-calender panel

-rework the battery icon

-weather panel

-integrate other dev panels

-resource panel

-rework music panel to display current song

-do something about that damn magnifying glass >.>

i'd rather not make a separate page for the music due to lag issues =\

edit2: after several uploads and removals, tmail.exe doesn't go directly to the sms without parameters but that messes up htc messages =\
[Windows Mobile Themes] valkryomnia:
Sounds great.

Awaiting the file.

Maybe if someone could make a wp7 music look alike app, we wouldn't have to make a new page for it. We could just execute the animation, and have the app load.
