[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] poyensa:
no need to uninstall chttweaks, you can install jmlmenusense straight, its so independent.

jmlmenusense is necessary to run the setting menu. If not installed, the changes has to be done in the registry directly. I recommend to install v1.65, try, its not so bad :) if do not work just uninstall. I will extend explanation later ....

OK now in my laptop i can extend a bit more :)

Q1:> sorry I forgot to include the shortcut in the beta2.cab :o you can add it to start menu easily by creating a shortcut to CHTTweaks.xmu (find it in windows folder). This CHTtweaks.xmu is a file to run with JMLmenuSense (v1.65 better results) Its a simple xml file that can write some values in the registry, and create a menu with Sense looking. Its great how easy can be modified with notepad2. I will never stop say THANKS to JMHL for this tool.

The structure is simple: JMLMenuSense's setting menu (CHTTweaks.xmu) does change values in the registry, then the lua files of CHT1.8.5 are modified to look into those changes and apply them. If there is no JMLMenuSense the changes has to be done manually in the registry (but CHTTweaks still can work fine)

Q2:> the registry values are stored in HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\CHT.Tweaks.XXX

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"CHT.Tweaks.WeatherInfoFont"=""
"CHT.Tweaks.TypoclockAlignment"="0"
"CHT.Tweaks.TransparentLockToggler"=dword:00000001
"CHT.Tweaks.TransparentHomeTitleBar"=dword:00000001
"CHT.Tweaks.TransparentHomeClock"=dword:00000001
"CHT.Tweaks.TransparentAlarmIcon"=dword:00000000
"CHT.Tweaks.TextDateSize"="60"
"CHT.Tweaks.TextDatePosY"="-65"
"CHT.Tweaks.TextDateFont"=""
"CHT.Tweaks.TextDateColor"="50,50,255"
"CHT.Tweaks.TextClockSize"="120"
"CHT.Tweaks.TextClockFont"=""
"CHT.Tweaks.TextClockColor"="0,0,0"
"CHT.Tweaks.ShowColon"=dword:00000000
"CHT.Tweaks.SecondHandTexture"=""
"CHT.Tweaks.NetworkFont"=""
"CHT.Tweaks.MinuteHandTexture"=""
"CHT.Tweaks.LSWMSlider"=""
"CHT.Tweaks.LSVSlider"=""
"CHT.Tweaks.LSmanilaSliderBG"=""
"CHT.Tweaks.LSmanilaSlider"=""
"CHT.Tweaks.HourHandTexture"=""
"CHT.Tweaks.HomeClockNumbersTexture"=""
"CHT.Tweaks.HomeClockBackgroundTexture"=""
"CHT.Tweaks.HomeClockBackgroundOpacity"="100"
"CHT.Tweaks.HomeAnalogTexture"=""
"CHT.Tweaks.HideFlipClockLine"=dword:00000000
"CHT.Tweaks.ColonTexture"=""
"CHT.Tweaks.AlarmPosY"="-50"
"CHT.Tweaks.AlarmPosX"="350"
"CHT.Tweaks.WeatherScale"="0.5"

So if i want to change the analog clock for instance and do not want to use JMLMenuSense, I would do the change directly in the registry as shown in the picture, will edit the value of CHT.Tweaks.HomeAnalogTexture, adding the path where the analog clock file (in PNG) is stored. The the new analog should be displayed in the home screen. No more about manilas, install cabs, etc.

Q3:> But much easier (even) using JMLMenuSense, go to analog clock > select clock face and surf to the folder where you store all the clocks, then click on your favourite and the new clock will be there in the home screen :) Same for text fonts.

If no texture is selected it will show the default graphics in manila format (qtc) so you can still use traditional skin, and /or combine both.

There is many nice graphics in PNG format in ANDROID forum, and it is really easy to get them because .APK files can be dumped with 7z. Many of them can be used directly to CHT 1.8.5 (and 2.0.0) with CHTtweaks :D
