Customizing HTC home screen by adding last apps and Skype - HTC Wings

Is it possible to edit htc home screen so there would be last used apps on the top, then that HTC thing with weather and clock, then Windows Live (without search bar), then Skype and appointments on the bottom?

Okay now. I have made some home.xml files and attached them in a zip file (there are four homescreens). All you have to do is extract and put home.xml files into Device\Application Data\Home folder and they should appear in homescreen list automatically (settings -> home screen).
I started all homescreens using "full.home.xml" as a template - "Windows Default". It is the most complete Windows Mobile homescreen which features all the things like call status (visible only if there's a call going on), voicemail, recent apps, etc.
There are four versions:
WindowsDefaultHTC.home.hml - It's a standard Windows homescreen with HTC color theme (the "scheme" part - default backgrounds, colors) and HTC clock/weather plugin instead of standard clock and carrier display plugin. Recent applications are located BELOW that HTC plugin so it looks just as good. It does not feature HTC mail/sms/mms/missed calls bar however, since the rest of homescreen is default, so it would duplicate the information.
WindowsDefaultLiveSkypeHTC.home.hml - it's just as the previous one except that it features Windows Live Services plugin (NOT that useless Windows Live Search Bar) just below recent recent applications bar and Skype plugin below upcoming appointments.
WindowsDefaultHTCLite.home.hml and WindowsDefaultLiveSkypeHTCLite.home.xml - they use HTC mail/sms/mms/missed calls bar, so standard mail notification plugins were removed. Also, a lot of other standard plugins were removed (cell broadcast, voicemail, etc.) so they are pretty fast to load. So basically they only include both HTC plugins (weather, clock + mail/sms/mms/missed calls notification), MRU (recent applications bar), call progress bar (only visible during calls), /Windows Live Services/, calendar, /Skype/ and current profile. Neat.
All homescreens are tested and are very tidily edited.

Wonderful! I especially like the Lite theme!
I have only one request for a change.
the icons of the recently used programs are very big, is there any way to make them smaller? Then wverything would fit on the page without scrolling.
And another one? Two appointments instead of just one?
Thanks a LOT!
best regards Martin

Open the home.xml you want to edit, search for:
<mru y="3"/>
and exchange it for:
<mru icon-size="16" y="3"/>
Also, you may need to adjust the pluging size after this modification.

I managed it to set the icons to small.
Replace line 49-53 with:
<plugin clsid="{79EFB752-CB70-446d-B317-499723482B3D}" name="startmru" height="33">
<mru y="3" icon-size="16"/>
<translaterockerkeys/>
</plugin>
thanks again!
regards!

ohhhh you were a few secs faster...

It's for HTC S730. I heard that it is possible to install it, search the Tornado forums...

do you know how i can get just the htc home screen + skype (without mru)
thanks

Thanks! I initially thought it does not work. But I discovered that using EditPad to edit the XML file renders it unrecognisable as a XML file. When I used a proper programmer's editor, it worked like a charm! Thanks once again!

hi and i must say this is the best site i`ve found that caters for the needs of us s730 owners, can i ask is there a way to change the colour of the htc clock etc i`d like it to look like the tytn 2 (blue) any colour will do apart from white. thank you

Propably s.o. can help me with my S730?
I like the original HTC skin, but i'd like to have two additional features:
under the htc-plugin: skype and above the clock: wlan status (name of conected network / actual ssid)
Can s.o. explain me, where i can find the xml of the original htc home screen? I didn't find it in the default folder.
/edit: sorry for my not-so-good english - it's just a foreign language for me.

Thanks for this. Do you also know on how to show the label of the Icons too?
Update:
Never mind. I found the answer. For those interested here is what I found. Modify the full.home.xml
from:
<plugin clsid="{79EFB752-CB70-446d-B317-499723482B3D}" name="startmru" height="52">
<mru y="3"
<translaterockerkeys/>
</plugin>
To:
<plugin clsid="{79EFB752-CB70-446d-B317-499723482B3D}" name="startmru" height="33">
<mru y="3" icon-size="16" max-buttons="8"/>
<appname halign="right" font-size="17" x="-5" y="8" w="320" h="22"/>
<translaterockerkeys/>
</plugin>

here's a good one.
i like the notifications of the home screen. I like the apps and the weather launcher.
what i don't particularly like is the huge clock!
I don't know how to edit this, but is there any real way to remove the huge clock from the home screen, it takes up ALOT of real estate.
Sorry for posting this here, after looking closer i realized i posted this in the wrong place :-(

Hi, original HTC skin is in Application Data\Home, but skin have attribute hidden. Use total comander.
For Skype add:
<plugin clsid="{61F6E879-E592-4006-9B44-1AA3BE9B6C80}" name="Skype" height="58" autoheight="true">
<background>
<format state="selected" bgcolor="transparent" />
</background>
<skype x="0" y="0" h-margin="2" v-margin="2" text-margin="6" separator-width="1" separator-color="COLOR_HOMERULE">
<selected highlight="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHT" fgcolor="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHTTEXT" />
<unselected highlight="transparent" fgcolor="COLOR_HOMETEXT" />
</skype>
</plugin>
and for wifi try this:
<plugin clsid="{E09043DF-510E-4841-B652-388316977A7A}" name="carrier" height="49">
<allowselection />
<background>
<format state="selected" bgcolor="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHT" />
</background>
<label y="21" textwidth="163">
<text>
<wifi />
</text>
</label>

well im trying to do it but it wont go into my today screen setings.

When I install the WindowsDefaultHTC.home.xml in Application Data/home, but I get the error:

That's why it's an HTC program. Why don't you use SPB Mobile Shell which is just the same?!?!?
very nice
works soo great on my kaiser
really appreciate it,thanks the guy from pxdxa~~
and i have a question:
i install your attachment,and just have the clock and msg,no green icons~
the green icons on your screen(the quick links?) are htchomeplug, right?
yep, you need to go to the settings - today - and there is one more tab - plus! - where you can setup what you will see or not. just setup it here
It's interesting, very minimalist compared to the HTC Home. I wish they would have added Tab support as in the Home plugin, so we could switch to contact photodialing, quick launch etc.
The existing quick launch along the bottom is nice, especially being able to add any program to it (and drag icons to re-arange their order). But it's only one line, having to click on an arrow to scroll through them. Expanding it to display more lines, or perhaps even the entire screen (if needed) would have been nice.
I'll be sticking with HTCHome for now, maybe use Plus! to add 1 row of quicklaunch icons and not display the clock/mesage indicators.
(unless I am misunderstanding what this app does):
Just to let you guys know, your Kaisers should already be pre-installed with the Quicklaunch icons (with one additional for backlight) prior to installing this app. Go to "settings>today>items". Look through the list and check the box next to "HTCHomeplug" (Not htc home). The only difference is the icons aren't green.
ee, i do not agree. thchomeplug is someting different from this. icons are smaller then on quicklink and you can not customize it..
disagree

Click to collapse
you can customize htchomeplug search for either the thread started by me or search for registry under kaiser upgrading and you can customize the new htc tray app using the same registry keys
yep, already found that and it was posted HERE
the problem that i find with this home plug in is that the quick link to the txt, mms and e-mail are all liked to the same main page of Messages, not individually like the htc home plugin v.2... can you fiz that issue, or can any one fix that??

Show us your Wings homescreen

Would be nice to see how people have set up their homesreen on their S730.
So please post a screendump of yours
Here is mine (ps. dont mind that the image of the phone is a Vox):
It is the original HTC homescreen with Facade installed. Plain, boring and simple..
What does the symbol next to the charging icon mean? The one that looks like a phone with a lightning bolt on either side.
vibrate mode
Not much free space to add anything else.
Moneytoo I can see you are using RightMenue
I installed it too but its not really compatible with the S730 is it? I uninstalled it but the button is still associated with the RightMenue...
But I mean why would you install it anyways. Isn't SmartToolKit better?
I have plain HTC screen. Can anyone tell me where I can download cool Wings homescreens?
Im using the latest version of RightMenu (1.97) without any problem.
Havent tried SmartToolkit yet.
Screen
Special for You
This screen with S730 [ language - Polish ]
I´d appreciate if anyone could post the files to have the HTC Wings homescreen. I think it´s a really cool homescreen and I would love to have it on my s710.
Thx

Edit your wanted homescreen (HTC.home.xml) in \Application Data\Home directory. And add it somewhere between other plugin tags (choose where you want to have these icons - in between what other plugins)

is this the one from the wings with the weather app and quickdial or the genric one that people made to look like the wings version,
There are many HTCWMPPlug files in S730 ROM. But I didn't found theme with this plagin?
Somebody has such theme?
- Thank you.
sorry but im bit confused. what do u guys want? the original htc homescreen with application shortcuts on it? maybe i can help
on the TyTN2 they could change the homescreen with extra icons by changing in the register. Could this also by us?
My homescreen
I've gone for the basic HTC screen with a scrolling calendar (PtkslApptPlugIn), WiFi, Profile & MRU.
Profile is at the top so it's a simple press of the D-pad button to change to vibrate or back!

[THE] 11 Icon Themes + Tabs (31/12)(Bugfix)

It seems I made something that could pass for a theme... I have modded the icons in the TF3D and the icons of the extra tabs, which are comm manager, call history and calendar (with active icon, modded by D-MAN666). These have also been iconized according to the renaissance theme. Furthermore these tabs should also appear when you install this cab, since I put in all the manila files needed for the tabs.
I just came across some great icons, so here is another iphone theme, "Blueprint Icons + Tabs". For those that already downloaded this theme and found they were missing the programmes tab (My bad!). It has now been reuploaded with the tab in it.
I just can't seem to get enough of those Iphone Icons. I present to you "Iphony Icons + Tabs":
By request I created a cab for the theme without the "Call History tab". Do note that this is not a theme, it is simply a modification of the manila file that allows new tabs. It needs to be installed on top of a theme and installing it without it will probably lead to strange behavior of the calendar icon. By yet another request I uploaded the "No extra Tabs" cab. Installation works the same as the above.
Some people have problems uninstalling my themes, therefore I created the Original TF3D cab. I have suggested a couple of times to delete your entire *_manila files library in /Windows to revert back to the original icons. This probobly not the smartest thing to do after all, because when I did it a couple of my manila files when missing. Do not delete your manila files
I created a cab file with a manila (TF3D) upgrade. I don't know if it is the newest one but it is the same as used in the latest ROMeOS and compatible with mun_rus's manila tweaks. This is a real upgrade as opposed the other cab I created. You may acquire it here

PS : how do i change the background of all the tabs in tf3d?
Find it here
thanx for editing the theme ... in the sounds tab did you have any problems with the font color?
Mine are white, I don't consider that a problem unless you have a white background. Maybe you could be a little more specific.

mine where dark grey and i have the default black background for the tabs so that annoyed me a bit ..
what about the slider bar did it become transparent or remained as it is?
I have a cab to make the Glider transparant, as you can see from the screen shots all is normal on mine

would you mind updating the screenshots of the red theme so that it includes one with the sound tab?
thanks
Thanx for updating the screenshots
Hi 12aon, firstly great work with the icons they look fab, i downloaded them all to see which would suit my phone best, i've got a few other tweaks already installed such as:
AutomaticWallpaperChanger
GlassClock_v1
NoCurtains
Pamas Transparant Slider
When i install any of your cabs it restarts then boots up and tells me that it is lauching TF3D then the screen comes and goes then a message appears on the top saying "Tap here to launch TouchFLO 3D" but when i do the same thing happens and it eventually returns to the same screen.
I was wondering is you could help me with this as i really wanna use ur Sloppy Red theme cause i'm using the stock vodafone rom and with it being red and now transparent ur icons would look fab, on the same note i dont suppose you know how to change the colour of the clock in TF3D or if it is even possible? I find it quite hard to search for stuff using the search function in the forum as you have to trawl through about 250 posts to not find what ur looking for so instead i've started following links in peoples signatures which brough me to your icon sets, thanks in advance.

Hi Aegishua
Hi there, nice and simple theme, extremely light. Keep on the good work
BTW you mention that "contacts" doesn't work, obviously your link has a small error: you wrote "contacts.ink" instead of "contacts.lnk" (with an L like austraLia
) happened to me too!
Ahaha nice, but will lnk work with the start_app item class? just verify that it does and i'll change it
THANKs
SiMPLE & NEAT

I wouldn't post anything that is not verified of course it works (BTW see my answers on mobilecustom.fr)
Hi,
How do you get the background show up like the pictures posted here.
I set it as background via settings/Today but the colour appear faded/washed out.
I added it into the .xml by adding this line:
<image left="0" top="1" src="Sonnar BGFinal1.png" height="300" width="240"/>
The colours are great now but the bottom of the background is cut off. See screenshot
Also what is the purpose of the TrayIcons section of the xml. When I enable trayicons in Homescreen ++ options the display becomes too long for the screen and the scrollbar appears. Is this just a matter of reducing the height of the spacer row? Then the background may have to be shortened to compensate.

can you make a theme like this
This theme is really great look at the picture some guy from XDA Developer was trying to make a new interface for omnia
(PLEASE TAKE PERMISSION FROM THE AUTHOR BEFORE YOU START MAKING THE THEME)
@ ronjoor, when you set your today background... try doing this.
1. Goto your file explorer and find the image file.
2.Then open it with pimg(the default image viewer) and then hit your RIGHT softkey to open the Menu.
3. Then from there SET AS TODAY BACKGROUND.
4. Set the Transperancy level to 0%
@fusioncoast We've been over this already. the fact that it uses a curved layout for the icons means the slide used in batterystatus wouldnt be smooth. You would need to use Flash or different program to accomplish this. Also.. you could always ask him to adapt it from whatever program he was using cause im not sure what that theme is from.
@tito12 Thanks a tonne mate. it works xD
I Still need some inspiration for a new BS Theme... feel free to post something and I'll get around to it. post about ANY issues about the theme itself or if you'd like to see some changes. Just say so and I'll consider it(I'll actually look into it lol).
IMPORTANT:
DOWNLOAD Version 0.2 TO MAKE CONTACTS WORK! See Post 3.
Looks good!
Diggin the layout, testing it on my Verizon XV6900 (HTC Vogue)
Downloaded 0.2, contacts link still not working. Any way to change the clock to 12-hr format?
Also, I can't change the batterystatus to Sonnar...is the reason because of the phone I have? I'm not terribly familiar with HS++ and how to customize the Today screen. I'd like to get my upcoming appointments on the screen if possible. Also, can you create a button on the screen to lock the phone? If i add it through the Today screen settings, it throws off the background image. Any help/guidance would be great!!
See the attached screenshots of with and without the device lock on Today.
Okay, if you want to get that lock working the easy way, I'd remove the bottom bar BUT if you want the tray icons with the bottom bar you'd need adjust the background and the spacer settings.
Code:
<!-- Spacer -->
<Row name="Spacer" rowtoggle="0">
<View height="85">
<Item class="space" type="value">
<label text=" " fontfamily="Segoe UI" align="center" left="0" top="0" fontsize="13" width="30"/>
</Item>
</View>
</Row>
you'd change "View Height" accordingly. My advice personally.. use todaytoggle, the softkeys will still work. Just the ugly bar will dissapear. Sorry i couldn't be of more help, sorta rushing to get to uni. maybe when i get back i'll help you abit more.
i think i kind of got the fix on it...
there is a DeviceLock settings that I can check through the OnHold function, which seems to lock it everytime the screen turns off (which is basically what I was looking for). Also, found a way to get my calendar in the homescreen by integrating the 'TodayAgenda' plugin and playing around with the XML file so it will fit. Also needed to change the background image a bit since the homescreen resizes depending on how much is in the Agenda screen.
I just need to figure out the 24 hr clock to 12 hr...my silly american upbringing won't allow me to learn how to read 24 hr clock. Ok, that's a lie, i just prefer 12 hr.
See my new TodayScreen attached. Thanks for getting this whole thing off the ground, I hope you don't mind my tweaking!
working on my device
very nice bro n thanks
Cool
Very nice dude looks great
