Hi I got fedup of Sense 2.5 kept crashing and not loading after a soft reset so am using this theme with TL and loving it on my TD2. One thing I'd like to know though I'm adding apps etc to the front but where do I go to change the icon for the item?? I downloaded the nice icons from this thread but don't know how to use them for the app I want to add it to! please help. Thanks

EDIT: I just had a look at some of the pictures that the theme is using. I think some aren't optimized as much as they can be! The pictures_tile the one with the little girls in the canoes... 110kb?!? A bit much for something that slow! Do these pictures have to be .png?? Can they not be .gif or .jpg for better compression otherwise perhaps trying .png with jpeg compression to speed up the interface, as it could be smoother on TD2! Otherwise still good stuff!
[Windows Mobile Themes] mchaves44:
Click the add or remove tile

then hit new application

then name the application

then find the path of the application you want

and then choose the icon path

hit ok

then go back to the list of programs and search for your new program and make sure it is checkmarked

tooodaaa :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] DaBountyHunter:
Thanks that works well! there is not option to change icon of current app already there though? As I've found facebook is already on my EnergyROM but if I try and add Facebook and choose new icon as a new app it won't list it !
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sb.:
I use it everyday with ease and mine works excellent but you have to tweak it a bit and keep using it to get used to where everything is.
[Windows Mobile Themes] plex12345:
i think the theme is still slow.. slower than sense 2.5
[Windows Mobile Themes] DaBountyHunter:
I might take a look at optimising the graphics a bit further as I'm sure they are the main culprits as to why it's slow idk it could probably be something else too but I don't see why some of the images should be over 100k when they are so tiny even if they are png! Fireslave does the theme have to use png if not I can help make some better optimized images and help make it fly on slower phones like my TD2! thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] m.schmidler:
Hey Ivan :)

Finally tested your theme after flashing a stable ROM...

Looks really really nice and I like the customization options.

What is quite annoying is the scrolling behaviour on the start page, it should only slide up/down, shouldn't it?! Also due to the animations it gets a bit slow sometimes, but it's okay.

Is there any way to cache the pictures hub as scrolling & using it is a real pain...but then that would be a thing to do for Alfonso ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] DaBountyHunter:
Ok I've had a look around (hope you don't mind) and play with a bit of the hub xmls and I've noticed a good few of the standard home screen images (pictures_tile, moviesandvideo.png etc...) are all large pngs and are not 1:1 size so they are being scaled down. I've edited BB88's version to use JPGs for the block images not using transparent pngs ... when I get time I'll try scaling them 1:1 ... but hopefully something else can be done to help speed up the interface.
[Windows Mobile Themes] lovefromsky:
Any idea if i can use it on touch diamond? if yes how, since for me after launching TL it just says TL started and nothing more :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] Steve_Walker:
I've had a play and uninstalled but I notice now that the dark HTC Sence black theme is either damaged by this or no longer loads up the proper files.

In settings (under home) you'll get the < > for the menu but no text - changing to say the default blue - it is fine - but HTC's black theme no longer works properly - and you get some strange artifacts left over when you change back to Sense.

Might have to hard reset unless anyone knows any better?

Steve
[Windows Mobile Themes] DaBountyHunter:
...also I noticed you get some graphics tearing when browsing in the pictures section anyone else confirm?
[Windows Mobile Themes] infadelics:
All functions

Are all functions off my htc hd2 still available if I install this ?

I mean twitter, opera etc. ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] makaveddie8:
Why is it that when I click on a contact that is under my favorite contacts (i.e. Throttlephotodial) it does not give me the option to call their mobile, home or send them an sms, but when I click on any other contact (that is not under my favorites) it does give me the option to call their home, mobile or send an sms?

Anybody have a fix for this?
[Windows Mobile Themes] pimp1310:
hello,

i try it but, i installed all and apply the theme, but is show other as yours, my scrteen is opnly black and at the top are buttons and under the screen settings home and one more....

where is the style of the pictures?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mchaves44:
I have a couple large .jpgs for some of my hubs backgrounds and I don't notice any lag or change in speed. Seems fluid when I click on em..

maybe just your device, who knows.
[Windows Mobile Themes] JJKameR:
I imagine you don't have any picture file stored on your ppc.

If I try to open my pictures it freezes and load a picture every 3 seconds.
[Windows Mobile Themes] bsellmon:
I'm having the same problem, it won't show up in the today screen plugin section...tried your suggestion, no luck...:( I'm using Eto.Y's Rom...any other ideas?

Nevermind, I figured it out :-)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Tribulattifather:
Updated later on in thread.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Fireslave:
Hi, I'm glad you like it, I'm working to improve the general performance(I think the "import" tag is slowing down the theme);).
[Windows Mobile Themes] Tribulattifather:
Hey, would you mind posting my .cab file on the first post for people who want an easy install of the theme?
[Windows Mobile Themes] DaBountyHunter:
Fireslave... I was just thinking in terms of helping speed up the theme. Would it be possible to render the text using the actual .ttf instead of using the .pngs would it still be anti-aliased and look crisp if you went this route? Might also help render faster??
[Windows Mobile Themes] Fireslave:
I'm sorry but 1800pocketpc.com has the exclusivity of the hosting.

In fact actually I'm not using .png for the text, Don't worry I have a surprise to you people;), just wait!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sb.:
Ive got six of my favorite wallpapers at 2560x1600 res. that ive installed into a folder just for the rotating pictures on home page and if I want to look at pics I use resco photo manager for that cos its ultra quick.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Danni3:
how about hard coding the important panels into the home.xml and importing the custom panels instead =P, theres also the option of hard coding just the text and images into the home.xml and then importing the scripts that go along with it

sorry guys i haven't been active lately i've been overloaded with schoolwork, college is a pain >.< and finals are coming up

as for my own theme, its renamed to Deity since i can't have the circular scroll and thus no else ui >.< ah back to writing this 7 page essay
[Windows Mobile Themes] DaBountyHunter:
Sorry not to sound like a smart arse but the weather.png .... pictures.png etc the images used there to handle the large headings etc...

EDIT: Also are the new adjustments being made on BB88's mod?? (I think the clock and settings icon on the right is pretty handy! though the clock on the right might be slowing it down??)
[Windows Mobile Themes] pimp1310:
hello,

i add under options, a Favorite Picture Hub the Picture and number but under my home screen is no favorite hub how in the pictures of the first post?

can someone help?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Tribulattifather:
I didn't copy there work exactly, if I did then I wouldn't be able to post the .cab file that I made. I took information from them and then utilized it in my own way.. so it may be like what they have but it isn't.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ghamdism:
Thanks for the cab ,

who can i get the weather code , and cant add game in game hub.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] bigfoune:
cool

i made a avatar "jackson five" for game hub :D

if you like my work pls applaud me
[Windows Mobile Themes] Tribulattifather:
Not sure what you mean. I can get the weather and I can add games just fine on mine..
[Windows Mobile Themes] rDieseL:
Hey guys, umm, this theme seems really nice and all but I can't get it to work :S. I have installed Throttlelauncher, and i have put the windows7 folder in the programfile/throttlelauncher/setup directory but when i launch throttle config the only thing that comes up is Light3D. Help, anyone??

// Diesel
[Windows Mobile Themes] looby:
Folder..

@rDiesel I think you may find you haven't opened the unzipped folder completely, it's a folder within a folder...:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] bigfoune:
yes

yes me too ! when i click on weather panel ,the weather page appears but nothing else

i already enter my city in setting /weather hub
[Windows Mobile Themes] rDieseL:
Hmm, what folder is in? The folder I have extracted has become WindowsPhone7_1.5 , and the folders in that folder are battery, fubs, images, skins and some other files. I still don't get it :s
[Windows Mobile Themes] looby:
Folder..

@rDiesel

Sounds like you've done it right then so it should work..:confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] rDieseL:
Well as i described the only thing that comes up is the Lights3D thing :S windows is not even on the theme list even though the folder is in there..

I would really like to fix this! This theme seems so good :D Oh and btw i have version 1.01 of throttlelauncher.
[Windows Mobile Themes] rDieseL:
Ohhh i found it, i just had to press the light3d thing to get into the screen where i can choose.

big lol @ that
[Windows Mobile Themes] psycoy:
hello brothers TTL I tested on my elf and I must say as a graphic designer in particular animated pictures and favorite is fantastic, but very heavy on my elf x memory, in fact with the opening of another program crashes the elf ! sin I was enthusiastic ...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Tribulattifather:
Make sure first you verify you have an internet connection. Then click on the Weather Hub. Next click in the middle of the screen when it slides over. That is all I do and it works for me.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Tribulattifather:
My suggestion would be to install

Oxios CloseApps

. Then what I do is I set it to one of my softkeys and whenever I feel I am running low on memory I press that button. Also, make sure that you have the Task Manager allocated somewhere easy to get to because sometimes you will have running processes in the background that you don't realize you're running. So first run the Task Manager and then run Oxios.
[Windows Mobile Themes] infadelics:
Okay,

It Runs smooth on my HD2 at the moment.

Hardware Acceleration @ 10 with Chainfire's graphic driver.

It seems to hold.

More, i'm interested in making own tiles and removing the sample Hubs.

Messaging and phone are fully working now including people.

Outlook changed a bit.

And if i click pictures it won't show me my pictures ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] pimp1310:
how can i reorder the home screen widgets?

i want to have the Camera widget under the weather widget??

Please help
[Windows Mobile Themes] bigfoune:
thx tribulattifather but is it possible to have the last one weather panel ?this icone is horrible.

i mean about the ancient version of weather ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] BB88:
I have added "Enable Side Clock" in my mod v0.6+

Actually I think the new weather icons are much cleaner and match the WP7 theme much better.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Tribulattifather:
Alrighty, I'll update asap.
[Windows Mobile Themes] bigfoune:
thx

thank you tribulattifather !!:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Tribulattifather:
You're very welcome. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] DaBountyHunter:
BB88 tried your 7b mod overwrote current files with yours replacing what it does went to run it but whole theme is black i don't see any blue tiles??
[Windows Mobile Themes] Wize24:
BB88 could you add a tab in the config to change the messaging hub's link to smschat or other 3rd party app?
[Windows Mobile Themes] BB88:
What did you have before 7b? I don't have any problem. Try v0.8b, maybe it helps. :)

Actually I think the reason fireslave leaves it out is because it accepts additional parameters to run the default sms app.

UPDATE: I have added the "Use 3rd-party SMS app" in theme setup in v0.8
[Windows Mobile Themes] Mick300ZX:
This is great! Can you please incorporate pth6's SMS Hub, that will be cool!:cool:
[Windows Mobile Themes] bigfoune:
cool

merci!!what do you think about this?it would be nice if we could have this page for album music :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Themes] psycoy:
I personally use "MEM AID" to recover memory, I tell you, however I use an elf...........!
[Windows Mobile Themes] itzmezyro:
how do i set the music hub to work with WMP? and is there any fix to the game hub problem(cant add games)?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Tribulattifather:
I'll see what I can do.
[Windows Mobile Themes] DaBountyHunter:
I'm going to have a look at optimising the current set of images. I don't see why .png is used for some images when there is no need to plus it might save some space with ROM. Also I've noticed the anti-aliasing on some of the headers "weather.png" etc is quite bad so might redo those to look much sharper unless the Segoe system font can be used in the xml to render header text instead of relying on the .png's ???

EDIT: BB88 ... I've tried v8b mod of yours... I downloaded 5b and added 8b to it and running it now... however getting an error if I try and disable side clock it crashes throttlelauncher. Also on a side note I've added ali's icons and I've gone through all images of 5b and 8b + ali icons and optimized them and saved over 200kb!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Fireslave:
I suppose you have a wqvga or qvga devices, I already told this, if you have this kind of devices to improve the quality you have to resize the image on Images folder to the a middle resolution. for example if you have an image with 90x90 you have to resize to 45x45. This is because this theme is focused on WVGA and VGA devices, anyway works well for wqvga and qvga:)!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] DaBountyHunter:
Sorry not to question your ethics Fireslave I'm liking your theme alot :)

I've got a Touch Diamond 2 so WVGA... I went through some of the png's and compressed them with superPNG saved a bit of space with certain ones also used .jpg's for Picture_tile and MusicVideos and resized to 200x90 still looks sharp but like 6kb image vs a 103kb image :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] DaBountyHunter:
v0.5b + v0.8b BB88's mod + ali Icons + Image Optimisations

Hi

I've attached the zip I made of bb88's v0.5b + v0.8b + ali's mods + further compressed .png's I think it's a bit more responsive compared to what I was using before! Also this has the following hubs...

Camera

Facebook

Googlemaps

Office

TCPMP

Calculator

Feel free to use the reduced sized images in other mods (have also sharpened and anti-aliased some of the header text ..weather.png ... forecast.png etc as it was quite blocky)

With friction 0 and acceleration 10 in settings this seems quite speedy ...

Thanks...
[Windows Mobile Themes] ali1010:
Hi DaBountyHunter!

thank you for this package.

i will try it later.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ali1010:
Hi BB88!

SUPER GREAT MODS!!!

Hope you keep on improving this theme.

Thanks much!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Wize24:
Great Thanks !!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Tribulattifather:
Edited. Will post another .cab soon.
[Windows Mobile Themes] DaBountyHunter:
If you go into the folder called custom hubs... you can rename the folders to a higher number etc and reload the today plugin... as it loads those hubs in the order they are numbered afaik
[Windows Mobile Themes] Mick300ZX:
Thanks for putting all this together, one thing SMS doesn't work
[Windows Mobile Themes] Tribulattifather:
Yeah, that was a bit tricky for me. I don't have service on my phone so I waited to see if it did when someone talked about it, lol. So I guess I'll take that out then. Thanks for the update.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Mick300ZX:
Cool! Does pth6 still around, maybe he can fix it :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] bigfoune:
hey tribulattifather !! why the picture panel is very small ?i liked the ancient version :confused:

thx
[Windows Mobile Themes] Tribulattifather:
Not sure what you mean. On mine I have a image hub that is 185px..
[Windows Mobile Themes] bigfoune:
cool

everything is ok !i've put your "trib cab":D
[Windows Mobile Themes] Casey_boy:
Hi,

Do you mean the tiles which you have selected yourself through the add/remove programs tile, or do you mean the hard coded tiles?

If you mean the ones you've added yourself, the quickest way is just to remove the programs and then re-add in them in reverse order.

If you mean the ones which were hard coded then you'll need to edit the order of the tiles in the home.xml file.

Casey
[Windows Mobile Themes] Casey_boy:
I want to work more on my Office Hub and I would like in my next release to have a list of recent documents - but I don't know if Throttlelauncher supports this.

Does anybody know if it does and, if so, what the code for it is?

If it doesn't then I might just let the user add their 'favourite' documents.

Casey
[Windows Mobile Themes] vladimir2989:
i can not get it to work on my HD2,

ThrottleLauncher works fine, whan i add the theme to setup folder, and try to launch it it still opens Default ThrottleLauncher theme, and if i delete default theme it just wont open...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Tribulattifather:
I think your Office Hub is great. I'm sure whatever you do to it will make it even better.
[Windows Mobile Themes] DaBountyHunter:
Hey trib I've installed your cab! Looks nice! Glad you used the music and pictures thumbs I made :) one odd thing I did notice though the calculator and add or removes programs tab is shorter in width than the rest of the tabs as I can see comm manager and the larger hubs are a few pixels wider??
[Windows Mobile Themes] nsane:
Hello everyone,

thanks for the amazing work on this them and the numerous mods.

Is there a way of displaying more than 1 apointment in the homescreen box/panel?

I would like for the box panel to display up to 3 apointments over the next 31 days. That is the setting I use in Cookie Mod and it is really useful....

Suite 1.5..

This is a really excellent piece of work, fireslave has created an outstanding platform. I have included my take on this using parts from the contributors to show what can be done as much as anything else..while trying to remain faithful to the original.

1) Larger clock and green icon for battery charging on Homescreen.

2) Matching number-size for messages/phone.

3) Moved day/date up so can be seen witout scrolling.

4) Added background picture to weather.

5) Added background picture to music. (Album pics just for example)

6) Matching graphics for Comm, Office and People.

7) Use of .jpg to improve speed.

To fireslave: I found a problem on the Diamond2 WVGA with the re-drawing of the homescreen due to the taskbar. I seem to have overcome this by using

a black background file and modifying the xml in config.

Looks good!

Like the backgrounds. The headers, especially for Weather and Music hubs are not crisp...kind of blurry. using Omnia 2 WVGA..

Also is there anyway to incorporate moon icons for night conditions? I hate seeing a sun when its night out lol..

For your date problem, why don't you just put it in the taskbar?
[Windows Mobile Themes] bigfoune:
what's new in your new cab? thx trib;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] dangerousrun:
link not working :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] looby:
suite 1.5..

@mchaves44

You're right. That is because I used a smaller file size to improve speed. Have ammended it in first post still using small file size. I'm working on having the moon as I agree it naffs you off...:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Tribulattifather:
Update for my .cab file.

The original skin files from FireSlave and Arley12

I have the music panel from Nichitandrei

I have some mods (including custom hubs) from BB88

I have some hub images from Ali1010

The office hub from Casey_boy

Images for Music and Picture hub from DaBountyHunter

And my new internet hub.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Casey_boy:
I'm not sure who created the weather hub and I don't want to jump in on their production (or I might if I don't get a response lol); so I'm gonna make this suggestion:

Let's have the ability to add another city or two. To access those cities information we could scroll down/up and then have exactly the same info as we currently do per city.

Make sense?

Casey

P.S. Anyone know about my recent documents? :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] DaBountyHunter:
If you want crisp header images I advise to use the zip I uploaded on the 21st I redid the weather header etc with proper anti-aliasing and compressed the png's pretty good so use that as an image base!
[Windows Mobile Themes] pimp1310:
is it possible to to make the blue backround from the icons how "EMAIL" or "TELEPHON" make to 50% invisible?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Casey_boy:
Yep. I think the way to do it (though I might be wrong) is to create the background tile you want i.e. a 90x90 image with 50% transparency and then to edit the home.xml code and the hub xml codes to use set the tile background as your new transparent image.

If you look in the old topic I think someone did this.

Casey
[Windows Mobile Themes] pimp1310:
in the old topic stands something about the footer.....

i had the 90X90 image with 50% transperency , any ideas what i must change in the home.xml?
[Windows Mobile Themes] BB88:
Really great to see everyone is participating in making this theme looking nicer and better. Great work!
[Windows Mobile Themes] BB88:
Weird...not sure if anyone has this problem, but mine seems to run fine. Maybe you can try deleting the whole theme and unzip the whole thing there again?
[Windows Mobile Themes] BB88:
I like the weather icons. However, I'm not sure what googleweather may use, but your set doesn't seem to contains all the possible ones right?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Casey_boy:
New Office Hub (beta...ish - I guess)

OK, this Office Hub is for those comfortable with modifying the code (I've made it as simple as possible - but you'll still need to know what you're doing).

I have created a second page in the Office Hub where you can pin 5 of your favourite documents.

Unfortunately, I've had no response on the document coding - so it's hard wired (i.e. the need for the ability to edit the code). In the office.xml file you'll see at the end there are five new tiles.

You need to change where I've put

*Choose your file* < here enter the full address to your file (appears twice per tile)

*Choose icon for your program* < depending upon what sort of file, you choose which icon (I've also added a pdf icon to the image pack)

*Filename(x)* < This is the the filename you want to appear in the hub

Unzip the attached file and let it overwrite your current office.xml and add the adobereader.png icon to your images/office folder.

Download link in Post #2

Let me know about any problems :)

Casey
[Windows Mobile Themes] Casey_boy:
Yep, in the home you need to change this line (it appears twice) in the home.xml file:

path="#$THEME_BASE#\Images\#@TilesColor#.png

to whatever your new image is called. You'll also need to change that line in any of the hub.xml files for which you want to change the tiles.

Weather icons..

@BB88

Yes, I'm trying to find out how the google weather works and if it does the

moon. I've found that all the iconsets seem to have issues..:)

Note: Weather Icons updated in first post..(#265)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Tribulattifather:
