I am all for keeping

WINMO

alive! And thanks Nando! I'm glad I haven't worn out my welcome so to say:D I have been watching vids all day for CS5 portable and GIMP 2 learning how to add reflections and make base Icons and even photo manipulation . I have the adding reflections down, Making Icons and photo manipulation, not so much. But , I will be continuing to try and learn this stuff in hopes of actually making something! Thanks to all for hanging in there with me and for your time and patience.:D

Hey Nordpolcamer! You are always welcome to lend your expertise here! Nice to see ya.

Hey BHS Interceptor! If you don't mind me asking, What new project do you have in the works? Just curious:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Nordpolcamper:
Hehe well if it fits into my shedule of course ;)

Just take it easy darkwolf ;) photshop, gimp etc are programs with very very many commands etc. so take your time ;) Furthermore of course you can learn by watching tutorials, but sometimes very nice effects occur from experimentation :)

In my opinion the best way to make reflections in ps cs5 is to duplicate your layer you want a reflection, flip it vertical and place it right under the original. Then just make sure you have white for the foreground color and black as background, add a layer mask to the flipped layer, select gradient tool and draw a gradient that fits you reflection into the layer mask ;)

Very easy and excellent results ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
Here is one I did with GIMP:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BHS Interceptor:
Hola, sorry for shortening your post that much, but it also basically describes the "project(s)" I´m involved atm, and also the reason for beeing away from this thread for a while... So, if you don´t mind the "off topic"...

It´s about a new ROM for the HD2 (I´m only helping testing, but the dev, the team and the users in thread are great), some improvements for CHTS Theming (here also testing but mainly thinking and configuring and structuring xmls for even better saving and more switching, as well as lot´s of testing and searching for files and elements - and also, dev, team and users are great), also regarding CHT itself (mainly feedback fro user issues, reconstructing issues and brainstorming for possible updates/fixes - this group has fallen a bit aparat since CoOkie has not been around for a while and the thread has also become a little to anonimous and sadly some users only demanding and complaining, but the supporters are awesome), and on the side, some "portings" from the HD2 for the HD Mini (here the "critical mass" of users and devs has vanished dramatically, but the ones willing to do stuff are very involved), but in the end, it´s all WinMo and very rewarding to see how people (devs, testers, users) do still commit and support this OS :D

So, to summ it up, besides the Mini, it´s focused on "Full ROM Switch" with CHTS :eek:

Oooops, congratulations, looks very nice and professional, like you´ve been doing this for years... I wish I could do it just a percentage of what you can :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
WOW! Sounds like your plate is full:D I always wanted to use a new ROM. Im still rocking the stock ROM:p

As far as the pic. No no no. I wish I new what I was doing . GIMP makes it very easy. Honestly just a couple button presses can yield that result. But thanks for your comment .
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
Hi all! Having a little trouble with the softkeys. When I use other people's 128x128 square icons for softkeys they look nice and pretty big. But when I make 128x128 icons they dont look as good or as big when on the phone:confused: . I know its probably something im over looking:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
Have you tried changing the softkeys height? If not, you can do so with CHT Tweaks(I know you like using this one already) or with CHt editor. Let me know if that helps any..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Nordpolcamper:
Yes Nando is right, you should go into CHTE and under Softkeys change the Softkeybars height to around 70 or 76 that makes the softkeys way bigger without them loosing nearly any quality if you had them in 128x128 ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
Appreciate the "thanks" my friend, I've returned the favor cause you also deserve alot of it for all you do around here ;).

Hey bro, glad to see your still here even though you've went over to the dark side! What i read in the other thread about you and dunc moving on to android, then even poy considering it makes me very sad!! I new it would eventually happen but am surprised at how soon..We were on a roll with all the new ideas we were bringing to cht! Hopefully we could all get together for another project..maybe help poy take cht tweaks to another level(provide all sorts of skins(pngs))?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
I agree with you Nando! I hope poy , dunc and nord come and see us from time to time and wow us with new themes and wonderful tweak programs.

Also agree with you on the CHTtweeks program. I've already suggested to poy the ability to change weather images and easily as the softkey docs and sms/email skins :D . I know that would be a big task but would be AWESOME:p

Thanks for the tips guys. Always appreciate it
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
Ok. That did the trick. Icon is way bigger. Now im curious how to get the best quality icons. Like bright and hi res! gonna keep playing around. I will post a zip with some I've made to see what you guys think:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
Here's a lil trick to make them appear sharper.. Start by using a larger image say 256x256 or 512x512..(# that's evenly divisible by the 128x128) to make the icons. Make sure everything looks good and clear in the larger size..Once finished and ready, resize/shrink it down to the 128x128 thats required. This way it'll appear to be higher res;)..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
Hey guys, just checking in to see how things are progressing.. Anyone working on anything new as far as the farscape theme goes??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
Hey Nando! No, I haven't mastered photoshop yet , but getting there:D

As soon as I get something I like I will post it. It shouldn't be to much longer i hope;)

You have anything new in the works? Not just for this thread but in general?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
Hi darkwolfelite, I'm glad to hear you haven't given up!! Keep working/playing around with it cause I promise you'll get better at everything but not only that you'll also learn awesome new, cool things along the way too. Can't wait to see what you come up with;) and don't hesitate to post stuff even if you're not 100% on it..there's plenty of us here to help!

Oh yeah, lots of projects..

I'm actually still very much in "can't wait for football" mood so I'm in the middle of making nfl teamed helmet toggles for all 32 teams. And a new set of teamed locksliders and start menu selectors as well.

Then there's a full Mortal Kombat theme for cht I'm working on with a buddy of mine. (almost at the point of sharing)

I also have a few new Farscape items to attach soon: wallpapers, 2-3 sms/email widget skins, and a windows media player skin
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
AWESOME! It all sounds GREAT! I can't wait to see the Mortal Kombat theme:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
Here are those new wallpapers and sms/email widget skins I spoke of yesterday. Let me know what you guys think..

Zhaan Sms/Email..

Chiana 2 Sms/Email..

Farscape 2 preview..

Farscape 3 preview..

Farscape_Wall_by_Euderion preview..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
Thank you very much Nando! They look awesome! I swear my sd card folder for this stuff has your name like , at least 20+ times :D

Great work as always:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
You're welcome bro!! Feels good to know you like em!! Now that you mentioned it..I guess I have contributed a bunch to the theme:D Even with all of that we still have to skin quite a few more items to have a complete theme so I'll keep trying to help(broke my phone earlier and can't test or do anything right now..gotta figure out what im guna do about a new phone). I know you're a fan of CHT Tweaks, so here's a zip with all the Farscape sms & email skins to use for easy switching.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
I for sure like them! And yeah I agree, hopefully I will post something soon to help finish the theme.

You broke your phone:eek::eek::eek: Accidental or in a fit of rage lol. I have toasted a phone or too mainly cause of women :eek::D:eek: , but never my beloved HD2!

Off topic. Was playing xboxlive last night and some guy was talking about the @#$%#% Iphone and he got quiet quick when I chimed in with my hd2. All I said to him was: Can your phone run WinMo?, No. Can it run Linux, I dont think so. Can it run droid?, dont think so. The hd2 IMO is the most versatile phone out. I know its only my opinion but I believe it to be true. And by no means am I saying the Iphone is a bad phone, its not. But is it as good as Hd2:confused::confused::confused: Not likely :D:D

Anyway, what phone will you be getting? Another HD2,WP7,Droid?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Bunglechunk:
Hey guys,

I had a crack at the slider and tried doing an email/sms widget but I've had to shelve them as I have limited time at the minute and I'm pretty much useless with Photoshop and I'm possibly going to end up putting my fist through my monitor!

@ Nando - Loving the new Chiana 2 Sms/Email widget (and the others obviously ;)) and also looking forward to the Mortal Kombat theme - I've loved that game ever since I was 12 and first played it round my mate's house on his SEGA Megadrive!

Keep up the good work fellas!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
Sounds great..i too hope you post something soon:D I like seeing creations of all kinds(different people) come together to make something awesome!! I'm sad to say I've never seen an episode of farscape but working on this theme is actually alot of fun to me!! Whether it's searching for new images, or thinking about different skinning ideas, or actually making them..I enjoy it all!!

I only had a tp2 not a hd2..i wish it has what the hd2 does under the hood lol. its kind of a long story but here's the gist of it..the slide mechanism was coming apart..took it to the store for them to say they couldnt do anything because liquid damage(mind you none of the stickers were tripped and it was a 2 month old refurb they gave me). So i called in and they said they couldn't do anything to replace mine so they offered me a discount on a new phone(haven't decided) so for the mean time im using my brothers old tp2.

@ Bunglechunk.. haha yea I used to love mk too!! Hell I still think it's cool..can't wait for the new movie to come out!! I still have a few more things to finish up with it but as soon as it ready, I'll share it;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] galilee6:
Me too
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
@darkwolfelite.. Hey buddy, what ever happened to you posting/sharing what you were working on? I was curious to see what you had come up with..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
:eek: WOW! I am so sorry Nando:D Also apologize to Nordpolcamper,,Bunglechunk,BHS Interceptor,Mike2 and Conantroutman:eek:

I have been meaning to post but something always comes up.

I don't want you guys to think I have abandoned this thread or forgot about all the awesome and hard work you guys did for me and this thread.

So to bring you guys up to speed:D A buddy of mine gave me an HD2 to put android on. I did. And all was well. The day before I was to give the HD2 back, MY Winmo hd2 bit the dust. So I asked my buddy if I could keep the one he gave for Droid and said sure for 50 bucks:eek: I couldn't pass it up.

So long story short, I am waiting to get another HD2 so I can WInmo:D And continue to use the Awesome things everyone helped me achieve

Oh and Nando, I have some things but have no way to test at the moment since im messing with the droid hd2. But once I get the other Hd2 With Winmo I will be back to post:D

Also, would like to see some of you guys make some Droid stuff:eek: I know its blasphemy but you guys do great work:D Plus Nando, sense 3.0 is pretty cool! You would be able to make so bad ass lockrings:D

EDIT: wow ! I use to many smiley's . Also, looking at the post your screens area I see you guys do have the Lockrings? Nice!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] cajunflavoredbob:
Why not just use Android on SD and WM on NAND? Then you have the best of both. It's what I do. I, personally, can't stand Sense for Android. Way too bloated and not as useful as the WM version. Even 3.0 didn't do it for me. I prefer CM7 all the way. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
Hey cajun. I might try that:D And yeah, sense 3.0 is okay. I really like HyperDroid CM7:D by Pongster
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] TommyOutlander:
Very cool theme!

Very cool Theme!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
Nice TommyOutlander. Alot of work from alot of great people on here went into this. Didn't even think people would care about this. Loved this alot. Even had the Farscape font :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] cajunflavoredbob:
Awww, this thread popping up in my subscription panel makes me miss WM a lot. This was one of my favorite CHT themes.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Bunglechunk:
Hey darkwolfelite, glad you like it - took me ages to get Moya right!

The minute hand is not connected because they're both pretty much the same size. So if it were connected telling the time would get mighty confusing!

When I get more knowledge of the workings of photoshop I'll be able to sort this.

I'm currently working on a Terminator clock and experimenting with the hands on that so once i figure out how to make the hands more visible (bigger) I should be able to update the Moya clock so the Peacekeeper Prowlers actually look like they're supposed to and not just a line! :D

Cheers!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
Updated Farscape font with the famous farscape s

Hey nord! updated farscape font with famous s. Only way to type the s is to hold alt 0167.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Nordpolcamper:
Ok^^ I have updated the Softkeys to your desire ;) hope you enjoy :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
Thanks!

Thanks Nord! You are the MAN! :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
!!!

OMG! Nordpolcamper! It just dawned on me that I was using your wonderful Pulse clock. I totally forgot you could change the background image. If your not to busy you think you could come up with a farscape image for your panel pulse clock? It would be awesome!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Nordpolcamper:
Hehe well i have made a background image out of the picture posted on the first site of this post ;)

I also updated the font for the clock, so that it should now use your farscape font ;)

Everything should work fine. I dont have the time to test it, but there shouldnt be any mistakes ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Bunglechunk:
Hi Nord, loving the clock and font you've put together!

There's one issue with it thought, the time and date are slightly out (screen shot attached).

Cheers!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Nordpolcamper:
Ok I will fix that as soon as I have the time ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Bunglechunk:
Excellent, cheers mate!

Also, nice work sprucing up the Farscape picture - looks 100% better than the job I did on it!

One last question and I promise I'll leave you alone (for now ;)), where can I get the pinups and moon face that I keep seeing around for your Pulse Clock?

Cheers!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Nordpolcamper:
Hehe^^ take a look into the pulse clock thread and you will find these mods;) they are made by anninor
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Bunglechunk:
Spot on, cheers mate! :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Nordpolcamper:
Ok I changed the files ;) it should fit now. If not, just tell me again ^^
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Bunglechunk:
Hi Nord,

Good job mate, looks good!

I've attached the screenshot. Personally - for me - the numbers on in the time blocks could be a little more central ;), but i like it!

Cheers!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Nordpolcamper:
Ok then next attempt ;) v3^^
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
Thanks Nordpolcamper. I appreciate all the time you have spent!

Thanks Bunglechunk. Also appreciate what you have done!

And Thanks to conantroutman for getting the system font changed!:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
Looks good.

Im still drawing a blank when it comes to some of the WM fonts... :(

I may have to outsource this one to a pro and offer up some E-cookies as a bounty.

I'll keep you posted.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
Oh almost forgot! I have farscape theme song.I use it for text notifications and ring tone. ENJOY!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
^^No problem ^^ Thanks alot conan! Yeah keep me posted. I cant wait! Actually I can :D I know you'll figure it out im in no hurry. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Bunglechunk:
Thanks Nord mate, your a star!

And sorry for being a pain in the arse! ;)

No problem mate, any time!

Cheers!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
Hey BungleChunk keep me posted on your Moya clock! If you update it at all let me know!:D But either way im USING it! :D

Quick question To Nordpolcamper and conantroutman. Is there a way to change the dialer font to the farscape font? (abc def ) etc
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
I've just PM'ed kliptik (developer of KD font changer) to ask about how to acheive "total coverage"....... hopefully he'll be kind enough to offer up the info I need.

About the dialler.

As far as I know, its the same deal as the start button. All the info is contained within .dll files. Ive never attempted any dialler mods so very unsure about what the possibilities are with that.

Might have a look into this tomorrow. (If I'm not too hungover ;) )
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Bunglechunk:
Hey darkwolf, hopefully i'll get time to work on it tonight (once the kids are in bed) :D

As soon as it's ready I'll let you know.

My ringtone is now the Farscape theme tune - thanks! ;)

Cheers!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
@conan: Not a problem! Thank you! Take all the time you need. Thanks for looking into it.

@ Bunglechunk: No worries mate. No rush! I also using the ringtone. Except am using the one that said Farscape reprise. A little shorter!;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Bunglechunk:
I've taken the Farscape theme tune darkwolfelite posted earlier, converted it to mp3, trimmed the blank audio from the start and end, made a 30 second ringtone (that's how long the HD2 rings for) and also attached a clip of John Crichton for a message tone.

Enjoy! :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Nordpolcamper:
ok darkwolf,

I edited everything as you wished ;)

The Clock ring is now red, the orange was made black and I adjusted the softkeys ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
WOW!

WOW Nordpolcamper I know you said Monday but damn you're quick! Hope you had a good weekend with your GF. Thanks for changing stuff for me. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
Hi

Hey how's it going conantroutman? Any luck on the Total coverage and or dialer? No rush , was just curious . ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
I didnt get a response from kliptik :( so still trying to figure out the font thing and I might get a chance to look into the dialler at the weekend but I think its something thats a bit beyond my level of knowledge.

Determined to crack the font situation though because its annoying the hell out of me.... should be simple lol :mad::confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
No problem conan. Your level of knowledge about this stuff is WAY higher than mine so I thank you for everything! I will look around some more to figure out the dialer.:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
Just noticed this on the portal.

This guy would probably be willing to help you out. Seems like a good guy from what Ive seen. Might be worth a try.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
Lol glad to hear you think I'm a good guy conan. And you're right I am willing to help!! darkwolfelite pm'ed me about it early and I'm on board! here's a preview of what I've come up with so far..and this is only a rough draft so be easy on me. what do you guys think of it so far??

@darkwolfelite you should change up the name of the thread to get alil more exposure ;-)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Bunglechunk:
Nice work lnando8, look forward to seeing your final version! :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] cajunflavoredbob:
I like the one with the filled in lines between the numbers. The other seems to be of lower resolution without the fill.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
Nice!

Hey Nando! Thanks for the advice (good call) on changing thread name! Gonna change it.

Awesome Nando. Loving the rough drafts! :D

EDIT: Can I change thread name and where? If not whats the best course of action I should take? Thanks

EDIT: Also, is there a way to skin the music player widget? Will post pic.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] darkwolfelite:
pics

Here is the pics! :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] cajunflavoredbob:
Edit the first post and change the title. That is what controls the thread title.

Something more appropriate would be "[THEME] Farscape Sense 2.5.2019+."
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
Thanks, me too!! the more I play with it the better it gets:D

I didn't see it like that before but now that you mention it, it kinda does look a bit less than the other. Thanks for the input;)

Any and all feedback is welcome, especially when it's going to help improve it!!

Awesome glad to hear you like the way its coming out so far!! Lots of work still to be done tho.. and then i'm going to need some beta testers because I own a tp2 and can't test myself.

Yea the music player is definitely skinnable. (Most of cht's widgets are :D)

A little shortcut to renaming the thread is to double clicking on the area around the title(not the link) on the hd2 forum page. text box where the title normally is should appear :-)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] cajunflavoredbob:
Nice tip. I didn't know that. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
I while back before KDfont, I used to change my own fonts by renaming a few files from windows. For my tp2 the default system fonts were HelveticaNeueOTS.ttf, HelveticaNeue LT 35 Thin.ttf, and Cour.ttf. I'm not sure if they'd be the same for the hd2, so I'd suggest combing your windows folder for .tts files. If you come across the one's I mentioned those are probably the ones. Rename the farscape2.ttf a few times until you have all the default fonts(found in windows) the system needs. For example rename Farscape2.ttf to HelveticaNeueOTS.ttf and so on. Save a backup of the default fonts just in case;) Hope this helps some..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
Here's another screenshot showing small update to the dialpad. What do you guys think of it? Any suggestions on how to make it better?

Once the dialpad is finished I'll get to work on the hard part..the dialer dll.

edit: what do you guys think of using the 2nd sreenshot as the pressed dialpad image? or save it maybe for a gtx theme??
