I just wanted to say Amazing work here ;) I've been on my Evo for months now, but still had my Tp2 laying around. Unfortunately the original theme from Fireslave always led to a blank screen.. Now this with a ton added.. A++ Dude!!

Thanks even from a Evo user lol
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
All of my mods are in 1 package. I do not want to package Fireslave's theme along with it because I don't want to take away from his great work on this and make people think that it is all my work and not his.
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
I have not tested with more than 10 unread emails but I will see if I find anything that would explain that and better adjust the header.

I have no idea why you're not seeing anything under pictures. Make sure you have configured the Pictures tile and pointed it to the folder that has your pictures.
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
Glad to help. :)

So far so good. TL loads completely and it looks good so far. Anyway to change the music symbol. Not really feeling it. Tried replacing the png but now TL just closes shut after a certain amount of time. Any recommendations? Also is there any way to drop the gloss background in the weather tab? Im not sure but the me tile doesn't show anything but whats new, notifications etc...., and the facebook tile just doesnt work. Still the best mods overall and im glad you're taking the time to make it work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] anesh01:
Amazing work, love the theme, got it up and running with an occasional crash here and there, but at least its up......the radar section still isnt working, im thinking that the widget is looking for the image in the wrong section ?? How do i go about configuring the GPS widget to possibly google maps ?, When i click on Comm Manager nothing happens

Everything else works flawlessly........also is it possible to have the tiles change color instead of blink when new messages/voicemail/email/missed call arrive
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
You just need to replace the musicbackdrop.png file that is located in 'Program Files\ThrottleLauncher\Setups\WindowsPhone7_2\Images'.

If you want to get rid of the gloss effect on the weather tile, rename or delete the blackgloss.png file located in 'Program Files\ThrottleLauncher\Setups\WindowsPhone7_2\Images'.

For the Facebook tile to work, make sure you have a shortcut labeled 'Facebook' and have it in the Internet folder under Programs (the normal Windows start menu: \Windows\Start Menu\Programs).

For the Shutdown tile to work, make sure you have a shortcut labeled 'Reset' in the root of the Programs list (\Windows\Start Menu\Programs).

I don't use the Facebook tile, it was too glitchy and caused even more crashes than normal with this theme. When I did use the Facebook tile it took it a long time to download and update and begin showing me useful information.
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
If you want the GPS to link to something else, edit the widget.xml file from 'Program Files\ThrottleLauncher\Setups\WindowsPhone7_2\Widgets\ShortCut_GPS' and change the following line:

Currently:

<action execute="\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\GPS\GPS.lnk" parameters="" />

Change to:

<action execute="\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\GPS\Google Maps.lnk" parameters="" />

Just replace 'GPS\Google Maps.lnk' with the path under Programs for the GPS application you prefer to use.

If your Comm Manager tile isn't linking to anything, then edit the widget.xml file from 'Program Files\ThrottleLauncher\Setups\WindowsPhone7_2\Widgets\ShortCut_CommManager' and change the following line:

Currently:

<action execute="\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Tools\Comm Manager.lnk" parameters="" />

Change to:

<action execute="\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\YOUR COMM MANAGER.lnk" parameters="" />

Just replace 'YOUR COMM MANAGER.lnk' with the path under Programs for the Comm Manager application on your phone.

For some people the radar doesn't work because it can't find your location code. If you don't manually enter the location code and after 6 hours it still can't find it for you, then edit the weather.xml file from 'Program Files\ThrottleLauncher\Setups\WindowsPhone7_2\Pages' and change the following line:

Currently:

<icon width="#@Screen.Width#" height="#$Expresion,#@Screen.Height#-106#" path="#$THROTTLE#\Plugins\Weather.com\map#$Variable,Weather.com_List[0].map#.png"/>

Change to:

<icon width="#@Screen.Width#" height="#$Expresion,#@Screen.Height#-106#" path="#$THROTTLE#\Plugins\Weather.com\map.png"/>

Map.png is the file it generates if it cannot find your location code. I'll try and see if there's a way for me to check if a file exists and change that on the fly via the XML, but for now it is a manual fix.

All of these changes require you to restart ThrottleLauncher or your phone to take effect.

I have been trying to get the tiles to change colors when new items arrive and I can get them to change, but I cannot get them to change back once all of them are acknowledged and set back to 0.

Hope that helps.

Can't you add a folder line to it so you can select the folder in the widget..?

something like this...

Here is the current widget for my GPS

<action execute="\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\GPS\Google Maps.lnk" parameters="" />

if my google maps is installed on my storage card... so exactly where would and what would i put in the new widget ??

and regarding the changing color of tiles, could it be a mortscript tweak....

u think u can add a shortcut tile for the camera........and a bigger icon....

i appreciate all the hard work you've done to make this already a great theme that much better
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
Yeah, that could work. I don't have time to try that out and test it ATM. I'm kind of booked this week and am now running actual Windows Phone 7 (a new HD2 ROM was just released) so I may not get to look into it until next week.
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
Yes, bigger icons and tiles aren't a problem at all.

As to Google Maps, it doesn't matter where you have it installed. The path should point to where the program shortcut is which will be somewhere under '\Windows\Start Menu\Programs' (one of the sub folders in there is where you will find the link to Google Maps and thats the path you want to put in the XML file.
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
No idea. I think you need to ask that in a forum about ThrottleLauncher or in Fireslave's thread.

All I do is make some enhancements and fixes for his theme. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] DavidinCT:
Man, I wish there was a CDMA HD2, I would have had it a while ago... It's awsome that it finally works.

At least now that you have WP7, you can keep your work here autentic as possable (it's funny how my views change from when playing with it in the store till I get home 25 min later).
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
Yeah, I was pretty stoked when I saw the post up on Engadget.

So far it works pretty well. MANY steps to getting it to work right and have access to Windows Live and stuff. But no Palringo or at least AIM is a deal breaker for me so if I don't find an app to get me connected to my AIM account soon I'm going to have to revert and wait. Or if it resets the phone back to factory when I reboot like it did earlier today (haven't rebooted since out of fear).

And yes, I plan on using my experience with actual Windows Phone 7 for ideas on how to improve this theme and my mods for it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] spannernick:
Yeah I have been doing some testing to and that code didn't workon my phone(didn't launch file explorer)

going to try something else...

If you look inside the shortcut it has a command in there that launches the program like...(open the shorutcut with notepad)

21#:MSFEXPLORE

So I am going to see if I can launch it with the command MSFEXPLORE like this..

<event type="Click">
<action execute="MSFEXPLORE" parameters="" />
</event>

I let you know how it goes...

EDIT:

No that didn't work so put it back the way it was and its working now just had to change this line to this..

<event type="Click">
<action execute="\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\File Explorer.lnk" parameters="" />
</event>
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
started crashing again today when i try to delete a text message

dont know whats causeing it but even after reinstalling TL

i add in fireslaves and test it and it works perfect

then add your mods and it crashes when trying to delete text messages

put in headhunters sence version and it works perfect

im stumped
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
I'll do some comparisons and see if I can find anything different that may explain that.

Thanks again for the feedback, the more I get the better I can make these. :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
cool cause i really like this theme with your mods
[Windows Mobile Themes] Omega Ra:
The only weird issue I seem to have currently is when I want to change colors, the weather/translate/taskmanger tiles don't change color, they stay the same blue...how can I fix this?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
i noticed that also and would just reload the theme
[Windows Mobile Themes] Omega Ra:
I will try, I just hope it doesn't screw up my graphics...I have the omnia 2 and my graphics drivers aren't the best..

edit: that worked! thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] yayyay:
Hey codeconqueror, I just wanted to let you know that the times being displayed in the notification bar up top is opposite from the time being displayed in the tile on the home page. For example, if I set the time settings to show 12h format, the notification bar will display 12h format, and the tile will display 24h format. I tried changing the settings to 24h format and get the same problem, a flip flop of times being displayed.

Is anybody else getting this issue, or is it just me?

Oh and this is with the win7 notification bar theme added, not the stock winmo 6.5 bar.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
cool glad it worked
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
Hmmm, I will look into this once I get WinMo 6.5 installed back on my HD2 (been experimenting with the real Win 7 all week).

Thanks for the feedback.
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
Well, I don't include the Translate widget anymore, so not sure about that one. The weather tile has an image as its backdrop and ignore the theme, but the Task Manager widget SHOULD be updating with the theme color changes.

I will look into this when I have WinMo 6.5 installed back on my HD2 some time this week.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Omega Ra:
if I reload the theme the color changes...must be something on the home.xml...the reload = yes or something?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
hey Code

how would i go about changing the icons for programs

ive already got the metro icons and changed the icons i wanted to

but when i add a new app widget its still the original icon
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
Go to the Widgets folder in the WindowsPhone7_2 folder, open the folder for your application's shortcut, in that folder you will find a widget.xml file. Edit that file to adjust the icon being used.

There's an example of how to change shortcuts for custom functionality a few posts back.
[Windows Mobile Themes] anesh01:
finally got this theme working, seems like if i install the original theme, let it run, then while its running install the mods, and reload seems to work, it still crashes from time to time, i jsut wish someone can pinpoint the cause if possible.....maybe if someone can convert it to a cab format will stop the crash perhaps ??

When i enabled the comm manager tile/hub, it appeared but not the icon, just a blank blue tile with the title comm manager....could it be the xml file ??

can someone help me with the gps tile and the xml file. i want it to start google maps which is installed on my storage card, however i have absolultely no idea how to edit the xml file or where to put the line...any help is appreciated
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
awesome Thanks worked perfect
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
not sure of the google maps one but if you attach the commanager xml file

i will look at it for you

ok heres the comm manager xml

then put this png file on your phone in My Documents\My Pictures

then reload theme
[Windows Mobile Themes] anesh01:
i managed to get the gps tile to link to google maps, after carefully paying attention as to what to look for and edit it accordingly....i still cant get the weather radar to load up, maybe you can take a look at my xml file and see whats wrong with it....
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
where did you get that xml from cause it looks nothing like mine
[Windows Mobile Themes] anesh01:
i got it from the mod from code....when i installed it, this is what came out. im all new to this so i dont know what is different or what should or shouldnt be there, im open to any suggestions to make it work....right now it does work just no radar but im willing to try yours
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
i use codes mods also and here ie what mine looks like

you can try it and see what happens

STOP

lol dont download that

i now see where you got yours from you got it from the pages folder

the one i just attached is from the weather widget folder

EDIT

i just compared yours and mine from the pages folder and i dont see any difference in them
[Windows Mobile Themes] anesh01:
thanks for the help, if i cant get the radar to work, its not the end of the world, i would love to be able to adjust the size of the icons if i do additional shortcuts to the tiles, like camera, cleanram...etc....is it a matter of just adjusting the image within the widget ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
that im not sure about

Code would know more about that
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
The reason its not working is because the weather plug-in library isn't getting the area identifier code properly. If you look back a few pages (direct links below) you'll find exact answers on how to customize the tiles for what applications and icons you want them to use as well as how to overcome the missing radar map issue.

[Windows Mobile Themes] anesh01:
i did those changes in the weather widget and still no go from the radar section, now it can find my city, does the track me with gps, and gps on startup need to be checked ? could that interfere with it ? ive attached my weather widget so you can see that i did do the change, unless i've changed the wrong line

thanks for the help in editing the xml files, which ive managed to do....what are the size of the icons that i should change, i'd like to keep the same icons just make them a big bigger
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
ok heres something strange

if i immediatly delete a text message TL crashes

if i wait awhile and then delete then TL doesnt crash lol
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
I think I may know whats causing it and would explain why it also happens in mail. I think it's how I'm refreshing those pages. Gonna try a few things out and see if I can get it figured out.

Weather tile issue

I am having trouble with the weather tile over lapping the outlook and messaging tile. Is there a way I can move the weather tile below the music?
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
All tiles can be pressed down for about 2 seconds and then dragged wherever you want them.

These kinds of questions would be best posted in the theme's thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=859799

This thread is just about my modifications to that theme. ;)

Hi

Me under the clock does not appear on the date

This version uses Windows Mobile 6 top bar Notification
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
The date on the clock widget will only be shown when using 12 hour time format.

A future version may have it enabled for 24 hour time format (but TBH, that one's lower on my priority list ATM).
[Windows Mobile Themes] MTom:
Thank you:)

The alarm also would be good
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
cool ,,will be waiting

also did you get my pm
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
Yes I did, just now. TY. :)

Aiming for an update today or tomorrow. I've got all known issues resolved so far with the following still remaining:

1) Reloading email account after reading last unread message results in an empty emails list.

2) Loading Settings page and then going back to home results in Right Arrow (to Programs list) to draw much too low.

3) Occasional crashing when checking / reading / deleting emails and SMS messages.

Still many more feature improvements to come, but this update will be more about fixes and stability. The sms/email crash issue makes using the theme quite annoying at times.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
i did find a semi easy way around the sms crashing ..instead of clicking on the sms tile when i get a message..i click on the task bar then click on the you have

new messages then read and delete that way and no crashing ...just a simple work around untill the problem is found
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
Nice. I've got the email page fixed and working w/o crashing but the SMS page is much harder. I've eliminated the crashing but now if I delete the last message, it remains there in the list until TL is restarted.

The crashing was a result of how that page was updating when new messages were received.

I'm sure I'll have it worked out in the next day or 2 at most.
[Windows Mobile Themes] falzon03:
alright so i downloaded TL and it works but when i unzip and install the WP7 pack it says its missing the skins folder which i cannot seem to locate either..any suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Themes] zoomonkey90:
Hi, sorry if this has already been covered, or seems obvious, but I didn't seem to find the answer browsing this thread. What I am wondering is, how do you set the pictures folder you would like to use for the Pictures tile? Mine is currently empty, or doesn't seem to be recognizing any pictures on my device.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
Hey Code havent heard from ya in a few days...hope everything is allright
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
No clue. Never heard of that before. Should be as simple as installing Fireslave's theme and then applying my mods using the instructions on the first page.
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
I don't understand what you're referring to. When it comes to favorites you can add as many as you like w/ 12 on each page, the All contacts page lists all contacts, not just the first few. There's no limit on either of those pages.
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
Go to the theme settings (three dots menu on Home screen, 3rd icon over), there should be options for Pictures tile. That will let you set the folder and refresh rate.
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
Yeah, I'm good. Work has kept me crazy busy and out of town for the last week.

Currently I have many improvements done for the current set of mods, BUT I'm having a lot of trouble with what I want to do to EMail and SMS pages.

On both pages, deleting items and receiving new items doesn't properly refresh the page. When setting the max items to display at once, if I set it to 20 but only have 3 you can scroll up and end up with a blank looking screen, it doesn't bounce back down automatically, I can't get it to show ALL messages, just the top X that I specify, and sometimes receiving a new message or deleting the last message cause ThrottleLauncher to shutdown.

So, what I'm thinking to do to avoid all the crashes (since I can't find a cause or solution - even when using other people's mods for those pages) is that I will only show unread messages and unread emails with a max of 8 at a time and then add some indicator to show when there are 0 unread messages and have a button to open the All Email/SMS view which will go to the default WinMo UI.

Its not ideal, but until I can write my own full software package to replace the UI like the Host 1.5 program (though his is nowhere near feature filled enough to use and seems abandonded), its the best I can do for the max amount of features w/ the most reliability.

I should have it ready to post by the end of the week.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
cool glad to hear your good

sounds good

wow that would be cool as the host started off good but like you said it seems abandonded

will be waiting for the updates

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] zoomonkey90:
Thanks for the help codeconqueror, it was exactly what I needed.
[Windows Mobile Themes] anesh01:
code...i mean to to say on the home page where the contact pictures are displayed...it scrolls through the first couple of contact pictures....hope that makes sense
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
You mean on the home page the People tile where it animates random pictures of your contacts on the tile?

I believe it is pulling them randomnly. I will look into it and see and if its only pulling the first few contacts I'll see if I can tweak it to be more random and pull from the whole list.

Updates should be ready by this weekend. Mostly just testing a tweaking it now to make sure its not going to be another "crasher" version. lol :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] anokee04:
Would just like to say that I have been following this thread for some time and appreciate the work you are putting into these mods Code..

Fireslaves theme is the best wp7 theme I have tried.. and I have tried many.

with your mods it really does take it to the next level.

So thank you from me and I'm sure the many others that are following this thread but not posting comments.

I eagerly await your next update!

:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
Glad to hear that. Thanks. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
hey code

is there a easy way to back up TL so i dont lose and have to readd all my contacts

and other settings
[Windows Mobile Themes] Morphinjus:
Hello

At first big thx for the great Theme.

BUt ich have a Problem.

Even if i install the Mod all the Names are only Black or white Boxes.

With so standard Theme there is the normal Text .

I test something and i think it is up to Facebook.

Do you have any idea?

Handy: Omnia2
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
I haven't tried, but I believe you can just backup your entire ThrottleLauncher folder. If you ever need to reinstall or burn a new ROM, just install ThrottleLauncher and then paste in your backed up folder on top of it and replace the existing files.
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
Make sure you are copying the Segoe UI Light font file into your '\Windows\Fonts' folder and then reboot your phone.

I recommend going to the theme's thread at: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=859799

Once you have the base theme up and running and have followed the instructions there and everything is working properly, then install my mods using the instructions from the first page.

Hope that helps.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
ok cool i will give that a try

Thanks
