hi everyone,
since december i'm proud like you to have the kaiser from htc. i've spend still hour on hour modding my kaiser and reading all interesting informations that here is offered by you. and hell you all make a good job here!
so i want to give you something back and here it is:
i've taken the vista startupscreen before you logon from a few well hidden dll's and extracted the relevant images and sound.
example only!
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
it's animated! original size!
installation:
make a new .txt-file with notepad and copy & paste everything below in and rename the txt-file to whatever.reg:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\StartupAnimation]
"Volumn"=dword:00000064
"WAVFile"="\\Windows\\Windows_Vista_Startsound.wav"
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"GIFFile"="\\Windows\\animated.gif"
"Priority"=dword:000000C8
or you can take the file i made called "Startup.reg"
then copy "animated.gif" and "Windows_Vista_Startsound.wav" in your systemdirectory called "\Windows\" and overwrite the existing "animated.gif". if you want, you can make a backup of the original htc-logo animation gif. if you encounter problems to paste those files, try the resco file explorer instead of windows mobile explorer.
my zip-file contains the following:
- animated.gif -> vista-logo animation
- Startup.reg -> execute this and it will add the startup music and volume to your registry
- Windows_Vista_Startsound.wav -> yes! the original from ms
if you want the newest file, please download vista-startup_on_kaiser_v3.zip
V1
- first version
V2
- i've changed the timing of sound and animation to make both fit togehter a bit more. for now, i think its close to perfect. but make your own try.
V3
- improved image color quality. now it looks like eye candy ;-)
- loudness reduced
- fixed timing
hint: you can also download my source and project files here, to make your own great startup logo
lemme give it a try...always kinda like that animated vista orb..
Great job!
I will use it in my new ROM, thank you !!!
thanks
but i think the timing sound/orb isn't perfect. i will try to make it more perfect, but today its new year's eve and that means i've to guzzle lot of beers
How do you execute Startup.reg
How do you execute Startup.reg? I copied it to My Documets and click it but got an error. I have a progam called MobileRegistryEditor but it on't let me edi he registry, just view it.
Thanks!

hi osokona,
it's like under windows desktop os. simply click the .reg and windows will ask you if you're sure to add.
if this isn't working for you, something with your windows mobile is wrong or a setting from third party program.
if you have a registry editor, you can add the values by hand
That's real cute... cept that it doesn't care what your system volume is set at... it's loud as hell at 1am.

change the "volumn" setting e.g.
Code:
"Volumn"=dword:00000064
remember: set the value in hex not decimal
i want it as load as possible, so e.g. every it-freak who knows windows vista on train or whereever i am, hopefully thinks i've got really windows vista on my mobilephone (spoof people)
just did this on my tilt..thanks!
Works awesome kudos dude
Great Work!!!
I just installed it on my TMO HTC Wing. Works great. Thanks!!
Great Job.
Its works & its cool thanks a lot.
Can someone build a cab for this?
Here, I`ve build a cab of V2
Please let me know if it works... ( I didn`t test it, but it should work )
Installing now...
Slow, laggy, off timed, but cool nontheless!!!
Agreed, GIF animation is a bit slow.. Maybe if pause between frames are reduced a bit, it will look better..
Anyway to shrink down the size of the orb so the resolution is better?
I took the plunge and made the animation quicker.. I`ve tried my best to sync sound too, but unfortunately my device won`t play startup sound due to ROM bug..
I don`t know why Hermes turns white when this animation is finished, then flashes, then shows welcome png, is this same on Kaiser too ?
Here is the faster version.. I hope it is synced good..

the original vista orb, as shown on first page, is high resoultion. when i make the animation with "easy gif animator" he reduced colors :-(
in photoshop everything is ok, because ps uses selective colors instead of web-safe-colors
if someone knows a program to make a better animation or will try itself here are the source files in bitmap and optimized gif's from adope photoshop -> download moved to first post!
edit:
now i know who to create an animated gif in adobe photoshop cs3 (honest, since version cs3 it sucks really. shame on you adobe), but it will me take some hours. this means: expect the better image quality end of week or maybe next week.
stay tuned and check here again for updated news.

hey everyone. this is my first skin
I wanted a Diamon-Ish type of theme for S2P
so this is what i came up with.

i want to thank Lescro and poorlyducks windows media theme. for some graphics i borrowed.
i borrowed other graphics. but i cant find where i got them from.
sorry.
**** instructions ****
just put into the gfx folder for S2P
and into the gfx folder for S2U2
you need to restart to see the change in S2U2
UPDATE!
just put these files in S2P GFX
put them in S2U2 folder GFX also
lemme know, when u flip the albu over the background is not dark enough, i will fix that soon
thx
Update July 1st
i made a bad (took long enough.. sorry its not wider, i couldnt get it any wider)
also now its pink... if anyone still wants the green version just take the green pngs from the original i made.
update july1st (2nd time)
fixed a few things. red and green available now.
Looks awesome. By the way, does this skin also integrate with S2U2? If it does I'm going to use.
can you make a VGA version ?
very nice, but i lost all buttons when in folderview
maybe my mistake because i replaced your folder with originals, but would be good if you wrote something about that. Because if you name that gfx this means this is the complete folder !
can you make a complete gfx folder or send me my buttons back please ?????
EDIT: Problem solved: you forgot just the stbutton.png (i found one here)
my bad
i can try to make a vga. i wont be able to test it tho.
:s sorry if i forgot any files. i can upload a full gfx folder next time.
it will probably have a few mixed files since i dont have the original gfx for S2P anymore.

yes you borrowed the graphics from my windows media player?
i was also thinking of making oversized backward and forward buttons so that the entire bottom is white aswell..
arg.... maybe not.. i just tried.. and its to goofy for me to keep my atention with image sizes and being able to have it centered (cuz the press graphic has to be in the centere.
so i know there would be alot of empty spaces... alot of trial and error with image sizes ... cuz it puts the buttongs in weird places when you change there sizes.

Sorry, what I meant was, when you have S2U2 activated and you tap on the song title playing the controls show, does the skinning show there as well or does it use the default graphics?
just download it and look in the folder! i think the s2u2 play buttons are still basic, also stbutton.png.
so can you make the skin complete please ?
nice work bro.
excellent! thx
great skin
thanks so much
i will
ill update the gfx folder to a full one when i get home tonight
thank you ! good work. looks good to rest of my device.
i just checked that there is still a blue volume bar when s2u2 is on and the buttons on s2u2 are basic, but dont know if looks good if you change this buttons because they are in middle of the screen and transparent. but give it a try.
damnz bro! we are not worthy... we are not worthy!!! lol
does anyone know how i can chane the bottom bar that the buttons are on?

----------------------------------------
whats new ?:
- this is a nearly original wheee theme, all credits for Idea and look go to Ufufu and i use again the sticker icons, other grafics and background made by me. This theme has new topbar graphics and a new missed calls-icon that will come to snowwhite and free! theme with next update (This 3 sticker-iconsthemes use exactly the same xmls only the backgrounds are different)
----------------------------------------
I recommend to do this SETTINGS for your ppc:
(how to: open the xml or txt files with with "totalcommander", or on your PC with "windows Editor", make the following changes, choose "save" (NOT "save as.."), put xmls or txt files back in the theme folder of you PPC and restart todaylife.)
Edit the config.xml :
1. go down to "emaildefaultparam" and there you find:"freenet.de". Replace this with the name of your account.
2. go down to CalendarAction and set it to 1 (=default windows mobile Calendar) otherwise my settings open thumbcal !
3. go down to time format and change it to 12 or 24
4. go to SMS Action and set it to 0 if you don want to open pocketcm
5. you can do more changes (SMS Alarm settings/Lock-settings), they are explained in the xml !
6. change language in the appointments: open the portrait.xml and the landscape.xml . You will find this text:
<Today>Heute</Today>
<Tomorrow>Morgen</Tomorrow>
<AllDay>.....</AllDay>
<MultiDay>.....</MultiDay>
change this four words in this lines to any language
7. change the date format in both portrait.xml and landscape.xml: <Format>dddd, d. MMMM yyyy</Format>
8. add the name and path of you applications for the launcher in the "Applications.txt". Can be ".exe" or ".lnk" and works also with parameters.
9. To open with the launcher directly your favorite webside with you favorite browser:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2538839#post2538839

FAQ:
1. what is this ?
- this are my qvga themes (also Landscape support) for the FAST FULLSCREEN Software/GUI "todayLife" made by DAZZLINGDAZ. Today life is a brilliant new Software like rltoday or batterystatus, but will get much more functions and is much easier to costumize: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407900
2. how to install and what additional software do i need ?
- you need nothing more. i works with wm 6.0 and wm 6.1 with NetFramework 2.0 or 3.5. And no need to install !!! unzip the folder put it on your phone and start the todaylife.exe. If you dont like it delete just the folder thats it.
3. What is working till now ? :
- not everything, test it, but i update this skin everytime that there are some new functions for you.
4. I´m having bugs/Problems/Ideas ?
- if you have a bug/Problem/Idea or want to modify my theme and dont know how: post it here, if its not running or you have a request to the programmer post it in the above thread.
5. Can you make this theme to VGA ?
- no sorry i cant, i don´t have the time and biggest Problem: i dont have a vga device for testing the graphics here. But todaylife works well with VGA.
6. I dont come out of some windows ?
- slide to the left side

Congratulations on your first skin for the todaylife engine! Very well done!!
thank you.
Let me say some addional words:
- credits for some of the used graphics (especially Backgrounds) go to steve jobs
- i use some freeware icons from RuizDesign and use their psd-file for creating own Icons. thank you
- and yes it looks like a iphone skin, and this should be so.
Hi Blue,
Congrats on the new thread. Unfortunately, it mean that I'll have to follow 2 threads instead of Daz's only. Oh well.....
Excellent work!
A pity you don't have a VGA device.
Hope somebody with free time on their hands can VGA-ize it.

nice work blue!
Congratulations, good work. Could you make a theme that will have more "HTC looks"? Something like HTC Home? Thanks again for this great theme.
this is actually a very nice theme i must say!
to this day ive never heard of "TodayLife", but i can guarantee u this..im gonna give it a try..
the theme looks good, not too heavy to dark or too bright..actually looks similar to a MS2.1 theme ive seen before lol
ill give it a run, and definitely will provide some feedback!
kudos to all who created the app and the skinners/artists!
I'm glad you keep on improving your skin. I've included the previous version in one of my custom rom. And I was waiting for a new one since BS can manage plugins.
Thank You!
Guys - to change a skin pack to a different resolution takes time!!! the icons may be too small for starters - BUT - you can change most of it yourself - simply by editing the portrait.xml and landscape.xml and making all the X and Y coordinates double - S(ize) attributes for things like the calendar can be doubled too
Example (this is from the xml and is for the bit that displays the current date)
<Date>
<P>1</P>
<X>90</X>
<Y>45</Y>
<Align>CENTRE</Align>
<R>200</R>
<G>0</G>
<B>200</B>
<S>10</S>
<Format>dddd d MMMM, yyyy</Format>
</Date>
To go VGA for this :
<Date>
<P>1</P>
<X>180</X>
<Y>90</Y>
<Align>CENTRE</Align>
<R>200</R>
<G>0</G>
<B>200</B>
<S>20</S>
<Format>dddd d MMMM, yyyy</Format>
</Date>
This doubles the xpos , ypos - and doubles the size of the font - it really is that simple!
thanks you very much , great work
one question
this is a great theme just a couple of questions
first off how do you unlock it,
second theres nothing on the music or programs tab how do i change this?
thanks
I am still developing the program - so it is correct that some tabs are empty - this is by design and allows for expansion as I develop.
Please read the development thread for more info.
The unlock sequence is 4 seperate guestures : ^, >, \/, <
Can someone post more screenshots. I can't see the original for some reason.
Also, is there a collection of themes for this new program yet?
Thanks!
By the way - apart form the skinners...it's just me developing LOL - so if you request something and it doesn't get done straight away - it's cause there isn't a large team of monkeys bashing keyboards....just me...and I, unfortunately, have to sleep sometimes (although very rarely)

i attach a preview of the vga version i have to make working something more..
buttons are ok now i must work beside text and fonts dimension maybe something cold work
When i click the speaker icon my screen darkens, but i dont get a volume control. I have to reset the phone to get out of it. Anyone else have this problem?
okay, thank you all:
but again some words:
- creating or ripping and fitting these graphics needs about 40 hours. so i will not and dont want to make a quick htc skin.
- everyone is welcome to create own themes.
- this is a thread is just for this theme/skin. if you want more functions, want to know how it works or have a technical problem or want a different Design please go to the thread of Dazzlingdazz, he is the brilliant programmer of the software.
- to unlock slide to top, then to right, then to bottom then to left.

Don't loose time with SOFT RESET, get the NEW SKIN COLLECTION with AUTO-SWITCH feature.
HERE IS THE REVOLUTION

Install it and you will ne happy and surprised as never !!
A révolution for SPB MS
Great app
Loving it!
GREAT WRK
Keep progressing
Great tool.
I wait future implementation (weather change on the fly)
great site and idea
I get an error similar to
the file *nowscreen* can not opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.
the correct chosen skin will come up though, but only after a soft reset.
otherwise the ability to change skins quickly and their assortment is nice.
UPDATE
For some reason the nowscreen link in my registry was "broken". I pointed it to the correct settings again and everything works fine.. without soft resetting.
It makes it very easy to set up new themes by simply editing the .mscr. I've also changed some of the weather graphics around with no issues.
THANKS!!

Where is the script?
On the website it says to extract all files to my storage/spbmobileshellskins then execute installmenus.mscr. I cannot find this script in the download. I changed the options.ini to go to storage card instead of my storage. I downloaded the qvga english version. Anyone get this to work?
can we change the weather files ourselves for now? or will it throw things off?
i usually use "beyond invisible" sets, but i just want to know if it'll work..
seems cool but a bit hard to understand the instruction
anyway great work
Just installed it on Artemis without any problems, works perfect.
I am hardly waiting for next enhancements.
Impresive work, thanks.

I believe you only download the path and not the full version. Please download the full version which in Italian then download the English path and overwrite those files in the full version with the files in the patch. Remove the file SpbMobileShell.txt inside \SpbMobileShellSkins\Scripts. Hope that help
Ok, I'm having tons of trouble installing this. The main problem at the moment seems to be that mortscript.exe in the scripts folder is showing as a FOLDER, not an executable. Thus, I cannot complete the installation.
Anyone else having this problem? I've re-downloaded several times, all with the same result.
Ok, fixed this by downloading mortscript from the official site. Still, someone might want to check this. Great program!
we want a vga version !!!!!!!!!!!!! right now! lol!
Backlight Issue
MikiBest,
I love this program. I am having a backlight issue with it, though. Even though all of my backlight settings are set to never turn the backlight off, every time I end a call, the backlight dims and stays dim until I start another call or program. Am I missing a setting somewhere? Does anyone else have this problem?
Thanks!
I don't think this is a problem of Spb MS, try to check your display configuration into the Windows Settings.
All of my settings are correct; this issue has only occured with this program. Has anyone else experienced this?
Release 1.3
The 1.3 release, will be on line today.... please wait few hours , I've only to edit the web pages....
The new release is more user friendly, doesn't need to set paths and has the weather icons (4 sets) switch ability and layout switch ability ( you can choose from
1) basic;
2) with 2clocks (both analog and digital and same time);
3) FULL with 2clocks+MRU+3contact ) .
Good New !!!
It must explain if we must uninstall all the previous files or not...

Winterface 2.0 is out. My skin Googleface is available for download from VITO's website, along with several other skins. Unfortunately, VITO went with my first version I sent them and ignored the second.
So here it is:
HeroFace.
Installation:
Run the cab file from your device and install where Winterface is loaded on your phone. Go to options, skins, ouila!
Enjoy!
P.S. This theme looks SWEET with this wallpaper.

Or this one:
If you like this theme, donate to someone who actually puts effort into doing this stuff.
How?
Hi there - I'd really like to have a go at customising my own Winterface now that I've upgraded to 2.02.
How do you package the files (particularly the icons)? I can't find any information anywhere and VITO seem intent on keeping it a big secret.
Skinning it actually very simple, but good lord, it would be complicated to explain.
Basically, take a bmp like the one in the screenshot. When you save, and this is VITAL, it needs to be saved as 16-bit, R5 G6 B5.
Now, the EASIEST thing to do is to simply replace over a same named file on your phone, i.e., build your icon set on the icons.bmp and replace it with your new set.
If you want it as a separate theme, you're going to need a hex editor to edit the skin file and a cab builder if you wish to share it.
Any other questions, feel free to ask.

Hey Oscar! Can you post that theme (wallpaper background)? Looks nice... I just did a save on the screen image but figured you might have a better resolution image... Or can tell me where you found it at.
Thx!

No. Actually, I just copied the URL link to whoever did the original on DeviantArt. The version on my phone is exactly the version you see here.
Just installed the latest version of Winterface and using the googleface skin
just about to try your heroface skin.
When i add applications they obvoiusly show with their default icon, is it possible to edit the icon and replace with something that matches the skin set?
Can I use the cab files/skins for Winterface 2.0 to install them in Winterface 1.3? I mean, WF 1.3 is able to cope with different skins. Should I somehow extract the files from the cab and then copy to bin? I tried, but even when just renaming the files to e.g. lynx.skin, lynx.bmp and lynx_icons.bmp doesn't work. I know this should be possible somehow, but I don't know much about cab files, etc.
Hi,
it looks beautiful. Thanks.

Skinning it actually very simple, but good lord, it would be complicated to explain.
Basically, take a bmp like the one in the screenshot. When you save, and this is VITAL, it needs to be saved as 16-bit, R5 G6 B5.
Now, the EASIEST thing to do is to simply replace over a same named file on your phone, i.e., build your icon set on the icons.bmp and replace it with your new set.
If you want it as a separate theme, you're going to need a hex editor to edit the skin file and a cab builder if you wish to share it.
Any other questions, feel free to ask.

Noobs How To:
Download the .zip file below,
Don't follow the instructions of the old .doc.( this file is obsolete)
Unpack the .cab and transfer it anywhere to you device,
Start the cab file,
Select the drive of your Coreplayer installation,
Fire-up your CorePlayer.
Enjoy.
What's next:
YouTube, if I can find the solution.
Landscape mode update. But no hurry there?
This is part one, so anything is possible.
Suggestions:
Black Grease 0.40 first public release
Black Grease 0.42 style update
Black Grease 0.42.2 very minor adjustments+added .cab version update: 12-03-10
I want to thank:
DavidVD for his assistance with some graphical parts of the skin. Cheers mate!

looks really amazing...
Thanks ejder1377.
let me know if you have problems with it.
ebsbow,
Nice work, I'm using CorePlayer on a daily basis for video playback, I will let you know if I face any issue with it.
You did an amazing job
But I found 2 problems in the File Selection page that I think are important:
1. not show the path
2. not show the selective boxes
Can you fix these?
My device is Touch Diamond (VGA).
Also in YouTube page not show many things like settings button and fonts in main window
You must be replace the black fonts color to white,
in YouTube logo replace the black fonts (You) to white,
the search frame replace the black to white
and I believe the icons must be more "attractive".
Thanks ebsbow.
Great job!
Maybe its nothing, but the color of the selector should be an other color I think?
ebsbow,
As said yesterday, after a day of use, first point to say is CorePlayer looks nicer than ever.
Now time for the points to improve from my point of view:
- No timer anymore, I don't know how long the movie I want to see will last.
- As stated by kastel71, it is a bit difficult to choose a video file. That leads to strange behaviour such as viewing a movie you think you do not have selected.
I hope you can fix these things.
OK!
I made some small changes:
1. youtube and dailymotion icons
2. youtube logo (from black "You" to white)
3. close, meta (info) and net (beside full screen icon) icons
4. directory path font color (from black to white) at File Selection page
5. highlight color (from green to dark gray)
6. search background (from black to dark grey)
But I don't find yet how to make visible the checkboxes and I 'm still working on it.
Thanks guy's for the comments sofare.
@The_Steph: Yes, the timer is an style thing. Hav'nt yet figured out how to place it into the style. I considered placing it over the image, but that looked very sloppy.
Let's see if we can place it into the other view.
@kastel71: Nice work!
Definitively going to correct the file path color, and the Google search box.
The check boxes are still eluding me aswell.
@Bardok: Yes indeed, the color needs some tweaking still. Looking into that.
@PollPixx: Thats wierd, but I don't think its related to the skin. Though if someone else is having an similar problem, then I will certainly look into it.
edit;
Anyone have an working YouTube?
It looks awesome, but....this must be a coincedence, but after adding your skin to my coreplayer it plays not well anymore. The image is stucking after 3 seconds, the audio keeps running. Anyone an idea where this is coming from??
Edit, after re-installing coreplayer everything seems to be working again...
Cheers,
Arnold
@PollPixx : I don't think that's related to the skin. Atleast, never came across any comment relating to that kind of skinning problem.
But I will surtenly look into this if others have the same problem.
No worries, I just mention it...it may mean nothing. As I set I re-installed Coreplayer and now your skin is working, maybe I had an older version of Coreplayer at first. Looks great!
Cheers,
Arnold
Hi ebsbow, if you need help please ask.
Thanks mike2nl!
I may take you up on that
very nice skin... Looking good on my Diamond... Thanks!
Hey,
so first of all the screenies look amazing and I will give it a try
The problem is I followed ur advices and installed it on my device, I am not quite sure whether I installed it on the main memory or store card, so I tried both.
After installed to the main memory respectively the store card I have made a reset
No changes at all
What am I doing wrong?
Appreciating ur work!
@impreZzA:
Coreplayer must be installed in the default folder, on the card or other wise. The application should work for you. Just execute the cab file and select the correct memory location. Also be sure you have an recent version of CorePlayer.
Okay ^^
Tried again, but s.th doesnt work
so its installed on memory card
x:/Programme/Coreplayer
the cab file is located at x:/programme
I executed ur file and chosen memory card as the place where it should be installed and then I started core player no changes
Coreplayer is quite recent
Help
thanks in advance!
