alright guys!
seriously.. last update
This is an add on to the last thread
(the last thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2453449#post2453449) didnt have space in first two posts)
here are improvements:
...changed rltoday (I felt the blue was too blue and the black was too black, so here is a medium!)
...added new weather icons for rltoday to match weatherpanel
.................also, used dcinobar.cab, it hides the softkeys better, so now rltoday goes all the way to the bottom of the screen!
new s2p skin to match ImageViewer skin
forgot to mention..NEW! Mortplayer skin (edited q_vista skin - takes a looong time to do all those little buttons).. plus alarm screen!
...added weatherpanel skin (edited an iphone theme I found (credit for the great iphone layout goes to buzzard808).. very nice layout)
...changed s2u2 skin to support fullscreen contact images
...added HTC TOUCH CUBE (original.. not slither) skin.. custom animation (flips up and down, the slide is similar to the PocketCM animation in v24+!)
here:
top row.... rltoday, s2u2vc, weatherpanel, s2u2
bottom row... mortplayer main screen, mortplayer car screen, mortplayer alarm screen, s2p

I sized the preview a lil too small to see how it really looks.. but trust me.. its really nice.. especially if you like my wm7-inspired theme, youll want to give this a go!
here is the cube:
for some reason its all fuzzy in the preview above.. on the device it is VERY clear
..so you know..
app launcher apps are:
mortplayer..........Evernote (very neat note function)
Skyfire..........Windows Live (can map it to messenger or email etc)
Comm Manager (or settings of basically anything you want)..........Sprint (anything related to sprint.. I use it for either navigation or mobile email settings)
I dont know if this skin will be useful..but on the off chance that you guys use all the same apps as me, it looks great on the device!
htc touch cube instructions (make sure you use a program like Total Commander - NOT File Explorer):
...copy/move all images in the "htctoucher wm7-inspired HTC TOUCH CUBE skin" folder to your \windows folder on your device
...you may have to kill the following if you get the error "unable to overwrite files" or something like that, which you can use MemMaid for (just download the trial - it lasts 15 days so you can use it for this!)
.......kill: BioTouch.exe, QuickDial.exe, MediaHubMini.exe, APLauncher.exe
...to change the path of the apps the cube opens..
,,,go into REGISTRY
,,,go into HKLM
,,,go into Software
,,,go into HTC
,,,go into BioTouch
,,,go into APLauncher for the App Launcher page
.............go into any App folder and change the "path" string to wheverever the file is that you are trying to open with the corresponding button
.............App0 is the top left app
.............App1 is the middle left app
.............App2 is the bottom left app
.............App3 is the top right app
.............App4 is the middle right app
.............App5 is the bottom right app
,,,go into MediaHubMini for the Media Hub page (music, pics, video)
.............App1_1 is the top
.............App1_2 is the middle
.............App1_3 is the bottom
rltoday instructions are the same as last thread:
RUN "dcinobar.cab" to hide soft keys... and I am including the TSKs (updated with new background) in the rltoday zip
Again, to add more blue.. you can use UITweaker and my settings file for that that you can find in the other thread (in rltodayzip as well)
**rltoday INSTRUCTIONS**
!!ONLY DRAG THE WM7 FOLDER TO YOUR RLTODAY FOLDER ON YOUR DEVICE!!
to hide the bottom softkeys on your todayscreen, you will have to install the "PMC TodayShrink.cab" I included (takes up no resources)
BOTTOM ROW and APP LAUNCHER
The home button on the bottom left of the screen brings you to the first screen. The star can be mapped to shortcut to whatever application you want.
The person icon is pocketcm for me, you can link it to whatever you want, and the web is the next icon.
To set this up properly, go into options of rltoday (hold down on the today until options pops up) then go into the "Apps" tab.
....make sure your first FOUR applications correspond to:
..................................1.png (the star or music note, depending on which you choose to use)- **change "change to 1.png if want to use instead of music note.png" to 1.png if you want to use it**
..................................2.png (the person)
..................................3.png (the world with the magnifying glass)
..................................5.png (the lock)
you do not need to do anything with 4.png
The next 10 applications you choose are what will show up on the app launcher page (the left screen shot of rltoday in the preview).
==============================
RLTODAY WEATHER
**EDIT THESE FILES IN NOTEPAD**
To update weather, press on the weather icon or any of the degrees shown.
YOU MUST EDIT THE "rl_Vista_Weather.mscr" file in the rltoday-->wm7 folder to change the lines:
# your location (see http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/ on finding your location)
location=""
# desired units for temp, f or c
units="f"
AND YOU MUST EDIT THE skin-tab2.xml located in the rltoday-->wm7-->mscr folder to change the line:
<Text text="Tuscon, Arizona" x="22" y="173" alignment="left" color="RGB(220,220,220)"><Font size="12" weight="" font="Segoe UI" /> <OnClick File="\Program Files\rlToday\wm7\rl_vista_weather.mscr" />
</Text>
s2u2 instructions:
..copy files in gfx in zip to gfx in s2u2 folder on your device (overwrite originals)
s2p instructions:
this is an add-on to the s2p gfx skin you can find at my previous thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2453449#post2453449)
..there are TWO sttopbars included.. blue and black.. choose whichever one you want and name it to sttopbar.png
..if you dont like it, just use the one from the original thread
..copy files in s2p zip to gfx in s2u2 folder on your device (overwrite originals)
..this zip ONLY CONTAINS BUTTONS (no topbar) to match the ImageViewer buttons I created for the wm7-inspired theme
weatherpanel instructions:
good to know:
the little "i" icon brings up a menu that will allow you to switch between locations and go into settings
the yahoo symbol will update your weather!
...copy the folder "iweather - edited htctoucher for wm7-inspired" into your WeatherPanel-->THEMES folder on your device
...copy the folder "Stardock Animated" to your WeatherPanel-->Icons folder
...in settings set for THEME: the folder's name
...select "Segoe UI.wpl" as the layout
...icon set: Stardock Animated
btw you need Segoe UI (havent tried it without Segoe UI.. the layout might look a little weird) which you can find around.. not sure if I am supposed to be posting it, but I did post it on one of my PocketCM themes a while back I think
mortplayer instructions:
things you should know:
,,to move screens, press on the album art
,,to get to playlist, use the little arrow in the bottom left hand corner
...place the "qvista_wm7.mpz" in your Mortplayer folder on your device
...select it in settings as your theme
enjoy guys.. seriously the last update!
hope you like it as much as I do

Few Questions
Nice theme, I want. I have few questions:
1) why do you say "use total commandar NOT File Explorer)?
2) You say "...copy/move all images in the "brn" folder to your \windows folder on your device". However, I do not see a "brn" folder.
Do i copy ONLY the image files or should I copy all files "Images + .brn files"?
3) Where is the "PMC TodayShrink.cab" i do not see it. It's not in the "htctoucher wm7-inspired rltoday 2.0.zip"
4) Not related to this thread, but another one where you said "Mort's MortScript 4.11b7 - !MUST INSTALL TO STORAGE CARD!", I wanted to try that theme first but don't have a storage card. So what happens if i install on the device? If that is not possible, then what do you need MortScript for on that theme?
Sorry for all the questions and thanks in advance.
wheres the .tsk file
looks pretty awesum but ive searched everywhere for a .tsk file of this
ur themes are dope
i just wish they were a bit easier to install

Few Questions

1) why do you say "use total commandar NOT File Explorer)?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
no file explorer.. simply because in my experience it does not overwrite files in windows folder
2) You say "...copy/move all images in the "brn" folder to your \windows folder on your device". However, I do not see a "brn" folder.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
there should be one folder with image files in the "htctoucher wm7-inspired HTC TOUCH CUBE skin.zip". (sorry I renamed it from "brn" to "htctoucher wm7-inspired HTC TOUCH CUBE skin" at last moment and forgot )
copy ALL FILES inside the folder to your windows folder
3) Where is the "PMC TodayShrink.cab" i do not see it. It's not in the "htctoucher wm7-inspired rltoday 2.0.zip"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
use dcinobar, included in the rltoday.zip in the first post of this thread
4) Not related to this thread, but another one where you said "Mort's MortScript 4.11b7 - !MUST INSTALL TO STORAGE CARD!", I wanted to try that theme first but don't have a storage card. So what happens if i install on the device? If that is not possible, then what do you need MortScript for on that theme?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if you dont have a SD card, you will just install mortscript to your device.
then download the attached zip
...the skin.xml will replace the skin.xml in the main rltoday-->wm7 folder
...the skin-tab*.xml files will replace the skin-tab*.xml files in the mscr folder found in the rltoday-->wm7 folder
if you were wondering, all I did was find instances of "storage card\program files\" and changed them to "\program files\"
i hope that helps

Dude this theme looks awesome...Great work!!!
You put a lot of time into the instructions etc even though my head hurts a little bit trying to read them
Well done!!
Man your work is really nice. I cant get the Mortplayer skin to work right though. What version of the player do I need installed? Or will this just not work on the Touch? Thanks anyway though.

if you are using the 2.0 version of rltoday, the problem with rltoday closing is that actually i optimized
the theme for ultimatelaunch. if you arent using ultimatelaunch you will have to edit some of the scripts in the mscr folder. there are three you will have to edit: tab1.mscr, tab2.mscr, tab3.mscr.....
all you have to do is open them in notepad.. you can even do this in total commander.. change the 0 for the rltoday today item line to 1 so it shows up when you switch through the tabs.
adding apps isas simple as going into the settings of rltoday (hold down on today screen till you get a popup with options.. then go to the apps page and set some. i believe all apps after the 4th will show up on the app tab.
weatherpanel is a today plugin, so there is no exe.. i use it as another page in ultimate launch.. not sure if you can make it act like an app pretty sure you cant
mortscript issue is strange that should not be happening of you have it installed to storage card!
i dont know what sms bubbles you aer talking about.. pcmcontact bubbles if that is what you mean are packaged in the theme zips
looking forward to seeing a video that would be really cool
hope that helps

Here's my first attempt at releasing a theme for Marsware WeatherPanel (http://www.marsware.net/WeatherPanel/main.htm). It is based off of storyr's PhatFinger III theme but modified to make it look as close as possible to the HTC Diamond's weather application. Tapping on the centre of the screen will bring up the detailed weather report as well as control buttons to gain access to Setup, Update, Radar Images, 6-Day Forecast, and Charts. Tapping on the centre again will return to the simple Diamond weather screen.

Checkout my Diamond WeatherPanel theme in action on you-tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9Jx_brSqfY
PLEASE read the FAQ at the bottom of this post before adding new questions to this thread
Release History:
NEWS (26 Mar 2009):
Psyki is working on VGA versions of my weatherpanel animations. For those interested check out post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3528549&postcount=1280 and stay tuned!
NEW (29 Jan 2009):
For those that use my Touchflo2D theme for ThrottleLauncher you may want to download the attached mod to my weatherpanel layout that integrates more with the overall look and feel of ThrottleLauncher as shown below. Mostly the mod is spacing changes as well as header and footer changes:
To install just unzip the attached file into the WeatherPanel\Themes\Manila folder, over-writing the default ones from the base theme.
Attention Omnia Users: There's a really slick looking Diamond mod of my theme over at http://www.actualitemobile.com/forum/index.php/topic,1327.msg104305.html#msg104305
Jan 22, 2009
- Completed WQVGA/Omnia layouts.
- Deleted ThrottleLauncher layouts. ThrottleLauncher 0.9.6 is now fully compatable with WeatherPanel so there is no longer a need to maintain TL-friendly layouts.
- Adjusted animated icons for Fog, Smoke, Dusty, and Haze (new animations and repositioned to be more in line with the rest of the animations)
- Fixed ALERT messages in VGA layout.
Installation Instructions:
First of all, make sure you've installed Marsware WeatherPanel 2009 ([ http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=7357
1. Download the "Diamond WeatherPanel Theme" file from one of the following links:
VGA Devices:
http://depositfiles.com/files/7iu1fker6
QVGA Devices:
http://depositfiles.com/files/2wt3sc5xd
WQVGA Devices (i.e. Omnia):
http://depositfiles.com/files/wt4jfvcs5
2. Extract the zip file and place in the root of your device's storage card. You should now have a "WeatherPanel" folder on your storage card.
3. Download the "WP fonts.zip" file attached to this post and unzip and place the two font files in the Windows\fonts folder of your device
4. For QVGA and WQVGA Devices you need to download an animated icon set (sorry VGA users...there are no LARGE animations in VGA):
For single play animations:
http://depositfiles.com/files/1kqhp54u9
For looping animations:
http://depositfiles.com/files/8qy325kct
Yes...these are the full icons...there are no longer any TRIAL icon sets...so enjoy! ...though I'd still appreciate donations if you enjoy my work! Donation link can be found below.
Unzip the icons place them into your WeatherPanel\Manila WP Icons\LARGE folder on your storage card.
5. In WeatherPanel options;
a) set Theme="Manila"
b) set Layout="Manila.wpl", "Manila-1line.wpl", or "Manila-5day.wpl"
c) select "Update Time"
d) clear "Don't Display Arrows"
e) set Icon Set to "Manila WP Icons"
6. Go to weatherpanel to setup your city and perform an "Update" to download the latest forecast.
Enjoy!
I enjoyed putting the theme together and am very happy with the outcome. I hope you'll enjoy it as well. If you like my work and would care to make a donation towards my effort you can visit the following URL:

WeatherPanel FAQ
1. Cannot add cities. Cannot update weather forecast. Cannot see hourly graphs. Cannot see moon phases?
You're not running the latest version of Marsware WeatherPanel. You need to download the latest version of Marsware WeatherPanel with "Moon Phase" fix. You can get it at http://pixel.dnsalias.net/weatherpanel/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=184&sid=0f5cebfcfc66ca3d8674eb259626d0f0
2. No temperature displayed on main screen?
Try the following tip posted by mlalahoi. Go to Settings>System>Regional Settings and make sure you have one of the English language regions selected.
3. How to set up Radar images
See post #95 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2416705&postcount=95
4. How to change the language of the weather forecast
See post 576 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2528918&postcount=576
5. My city name is too large to fit in the space provided
By default when you add a city, Weatherpanel appends the country/state/province to the name...so remove this and chances are it will fit in the space provided. If there still isn't enough space you can manually edit the layout files and reduce the font size used for #CITY#. Alternatively...move.
6. The theme is too tall/short to fit on my screen!
If the default layouts do not fit your particular setup then you will need to adjust the height to fit your unique setup. To adjust the height of the main screen, edit the appropriate Manila wpl file and simply change the value of the ;HEIGHT variable.
7. How can I get these animations to work with HTC Manila TF3D/Manila2D/HTC Home/SPB Weather (or any other weather application)
See post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5181452&postcount=1320 for details on how to get this working with Manila2D.
8. WeatherPanel beeps when I click on icons
The only way to stop this is go to Start>Settings>Sounds & Notifications and uncheck "Events (warnings,system events)"
9. Large icons do not display
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2656411&postcount=905
Other WeatherPanel Quesions
Try searching the actual WeatherPanel forum at http://pixel.dnsalias.net/weatherpanel/index.php?sid=fa3180ce65859f6fd41f18742405e37c, chances are your question is answered in that forum.
Damn! I was making one too but yours looks better!!!
I'm going to have to try yours now
The "Weather" Heading up top is part of UL right?
Could you upload that for me please?
Also what HUGE icons are you using? I do have the Diamond HUGE icons if you want them...
I was working with my theme all night just to find this!
Thanks.

The "Weather" heading is actually a XIAMultiTheme header. So the XIAMultiTheme header plus WeatherPanel make up one page of UL.
Here are screenshots of my UL setup. You can download all the custom themes at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2326335&postcount=28
Check out this video of this setup on YouTube!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdsGjtHCtUI
Page 1:
- XIAMultiTheme header of the date
- PhoneAlarm
Page 2:
- rlToday header "Calendar" and calendar
- SPB Diary
Page 3:
- XIAMultiTheme header "Weather"
- WeatherPanel
Page 4:
- XIAMultiTheme header "Music" plus all the music control. Based off of the great work from chriscsh at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396910
Page 5:
- XIAMuliTheme header "Contacts" plus contacts stuff. Again...based off of chrisch's fantastic work. Once cNetx updates their Face Contact application I will purchase it and put it in this location in place of the XIAMulitTheme stuff
Page 6:
- XIAMulitTheme header "Programs"
- SPB PocketPlus
- BatteryStatus
I've also put together a custom MobileShell theme (based off of Greatball's "Diamond" theme) that only includes the program launcher (all other tabs deleted). See photos.
I see you mentioned Face Contacts....
Have you heard that an update is coming?
I have that program but wanted it to be bigger.

The developer indicated (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378145&page=12) that an update will be coming in June (which is almost over!). Hopefully the new features he mentions will include one to make the contact photos bigger!
Outstanding Rumball!! I would definitely like to have my tilt look like this....

That would be perfect!
I'm playing with the MultiTheme Header deal now.
Trying to figure it out.
I had made some nice Diamond Header images but couldn't figure out how to integrate them into UL.
Hmmm... This is so embarrasing. I cant figure out the system with the cat at rapidshare. It looks like they all have a cat attached to them... Hmm?
Some of them are dogs
the cats are the ones that seem bigger than the rest usually
Man I copied the latest version of XIAMultiTheme to my ppc but when I try to initiate the configuration, it doesn't seem to recognize the program. I couldn't find any more specific instructions on how to run this so I'm stuck for now.
EDIT
Found the nightly build which works so trying to figure out how to create the image theme...
Can someone upload to this site please?

NOTE: In the screenshots WeatherPanel is running inside UltimateLauncher where the Diamond header and navigation bar are (i.e. they are not part of my WeatherPanel theme)

At this point there are no animations but since WeatherPanel does support animated PNGs (MNG) I may look into trying to replicate the Diamond weather animations once I get some more free time (in the mean time...if someone can point me to a link that shows what each of the diamond weather animations look like that would be a great start for me!)

@Rumball,
This looks awesome!! Is it VGA or QVGA?
this is prolly a stupid question, but where do i pace the theme for it to work? which folder in weatherpanel? cuz i see that all the images are together and not in a folder like most themes that can bbe placed in the themes folder, i want to use it with throttlelauncher

To install:
1. Copy "Manila Icon" folder into your WeatherPanel\Icons folder on PPC
2. Copy "MyManila WP" folder into your WeatherPanel\Themes folder on PPC
3. Copy fonts into Windows\fonts folder of PPC
4. If you want the diamond background, use the included Diamond.tsk today theme
5. In WeatherPanel options;
a) set Theme="MyManila WP",Layout="MyManila WP.wpl", Icon Set="Manila Icon"
b) select "Update Time"
c) clear "Don't Display Arrows"
Enjoy!
Finally figured it out.
Skin file was titled wrong
dude, this skin is AMAZING.. thank you so much.
i'd also like to know, if anyone knows, how to see the images and use the radar.
thanks you.

The "Weather" heading is actually a XIAMultiTheme header. So the XIAMultiTheme header plus WeatherPanel make up one page of UL.
This weekend I'll try and post my setup files. In the mean time here are screenshots of my UL setup.
Page 1:
- XIAMultiTheme header of the date
- PhoneAlarm
Page 2:
- rlToday header "Calendar" and calendar
- SPB Diary
Page 3:
- XIAMultiTheme header "Weather"
- WeatherPanel
Page 4:
- XIAMultiTheme header "Music" plus all the music control. Based off of the great work from chriscsh at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396910
Page 5:
- XIAMuliTheme header "Contacts" plus contacts stuff. Again...based off of chrisch's fantastic work. Once cNetx updates their Face Contact application I will purchase it and put it in this location in place of the XIAMulitTheme stuff
Page 6:
- XIAMulitTheme header "Programs"
- SPB PocketPlus
- BatteryStatus
I've also put together a custom MobileShell theme (based off of Greatball's "Diamond" theme) that only includes the program launcher (all other tabs deleted). See photos.
Anyway...back to WeatherPanel. I obtained my icons from one of the posts here on XDA Developers...can't remember which. What I would REALLY love to find are samples of the animations so that I can update this WeatherPanel theme to include all the cool animations. I have the PNG files that make up the animations (again...from one of the posts here on XDA)...I just don't know what the animations are supposed to look like!

can you further explain page 1? the indicators are phone alarm, right? what theme are you using? also, is the clock part of XIAMultitheme, phonealarm, or something else? thanks.
This is a nice layout, but I guess this is customised for black backgrounds because it looks very blurry against a light/white background.
I hope you can make a version for light backgrounds. Other than that it looks great

On page 1 only the heading (the date) is performed by XIAMultiTheme...the rest (including the analog clock) is performed using a theme I put together for the new PhoneAlarm 2.0. You can find a copy of the PhoneAlarm skin at http://www.pocketmax.net/smf/index.php?topic=6263.0
clarifaction please..?

Is this indeed what the tilt looks like with 6.1 Professional Diamond and the updated weather panel theme??.. it is HTC Diamond Post title and all...
just a lil confused.. Thanks!
ac
I've been working on this theme for a while, perfecting it to my liking. It is basically perfect for my needs, and its time for a break.... so I decided to upload it as well.
So here is the preview.. it uses s2u2, mortbuttons, PocketCM and rltoday
get s2u2 here......get mortbuttons here......get PocketCM here......get rltoday here
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
here is an update of the s2u2 theme you all might be interested in..
looks like this:
===============================================================================
!!!For this theme there are instructions you MUST read!!! (if you dont it either won't look right or you might miss out!)
===============================================================================
s2u2 INSTRUCTIONS
I will be attaching the photoshop file (.psd) for anyone who would like to use the bottom portion of the s2u2 image above (the embossed look of the "slide 2 unlock") over any image of your liking.
For those who like the whole thing, I will also be attaching the .jpg (it is greyscaled) and the animated .gif (looks like the preview but moves) and the gfx folder for the sms icon and the slider and other buttons.
The .zip (htctoucher pidgin s2u2 sample images and psd) I attached includes many different jpegs and a few animated gifs that you can use. I also included a psd file for those of you who might like to generate your own with my embossed slide 2 unlock.. the sample.jpg in the .zip shows you the kind of look you can get using the psd file.
.....Place the gfx folder in your s2u2 folder on your device and overwrite your files in order to get the slide button and the unread icons and all that
.....Doing this will remove the top and bottom shadings and it will also replace your wallpaper.jpeg, wallpaper.gif, so if you dont want those removed then move only the graphics you want over to your device.
===============================================================================
mortbuttons INSTRUCTIONS
This skin is the .zip called "htctoucher pidgin manila mortbuttons.zip"
It requires that you place the "pidginmanilla.mbz" file (the first mortbuttons screenshot) or the "htctoucher.mbz" file (the second mortbuttons screenshot) and the "bguppershade.png" image in your Mortbuttons-->skins folder.
....Then you must do the following:
Select "pidginmanilla" or "htctoucher" in Mortbuttons Setup-->Display-->Skin dropdown menu
-->Entry Size-->Big
-->Display Style-->User Background-->...-->Portrait ... --> go into your mortbuttons skin folder and select "bguppershade.png"
Select "bguppershade.png" for Landscape
Go back to the main display page
Check "Hide Menu Bar" but Uncheck "Hide Title Bar"
Check "Don't insert paging buttons" but uncheck "Don't insert back button to generated submenus"
Go into "Transitions"
For "To left" and "To right" select Cube transition from drop down.
For "Upwards" and "Downwards" select Slide Over transition.
Zoom in/out select Stretch and Duration 300ms
Go back to the Mortbuttons Setup main page
Go into "Handling" and then Configure Gestures and configure those to your liking
IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORTBUTTONS TO TAKE UP THE WHOLE SCREEN, just select "HIDE TITLE BAR" as well as "HIDE MENU BAR"... then go into Display Style--> "..." --> the "..." next to the color --> define your own color to "51,51,51" (by dragging along the shaded column on the right).. if you do this also make sure there is no image selected
===============================================================================
PocketCM INSTRUCTIONS (for a full preview of my theme go here)
This is the "htctoucher pidgin manila 2.0.zip" file attached.
...Download the .zip file
...Drag the file into your PocketCM folder on your device (DO NOT UNZIP!!)
...Go into options in PocketCM by pressing the filter button and going into options
...Press "Select theme" and choose mine in the drop down menu
...Restart PocketCM
===============================================================================
rltoday INSTRUCTIONS
if you want only the top (clock and unread, not the bottom icons or calendar) go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2410903#post2410903
BOTTOM ROW and APP LAUNCHER
The home button on the bottom left of the screen brings you to the first screen. The star can be mapped to shortcut to whatever application you want.. I have it to mortbuttons (my favorite applications).
The person icon is pocketcm for me, you can link it to whatever you want, and the web is the next icon. The settings is the cog icon (I used the Control.exe I am including in the .zip)
To set this up properly, go into options of rltoday (hold down on the today until options pops up) then go into the "Apps" tab.
.........make sure your first FOUR applications correspond to:
..................................1.png (the star)
..................................2.png (the person)
..................................3.png (the world with the magnifying glass)
..................................5.png (the settings cog)
you do not need to do anything with 4.png
The next 10 applications you choose are what will show up on the app launcher page (the left screen shot in the picture above).
WEATHER
To update weather, press on the weather icon or any of the degrees shown. Also YOU MUST EDIT THE "rl_Vista_Weather.mscr" file in the Pidgin Desktop folder to change the lines:
# your location (see http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/ on finding your location)
location="91011"
# desired units for temp, f or c
units="f"
for your preferred zip code and degree units (Fahrenheit (f) or Celsius (c))
AND YOU MUST EDIT THE skin-tab2.xml located in the mscr folder to change the line:
<Text text="La Canada Flintridge" x="22" y="173" alignment="left" color="RGB(220,220,220)"><Font size="12" weight="" font="Segoe UI" /> <OnClick File="\Program Files\rlToday\Pidgin Desktop\rl_vista_weather.mscr" />
</Text>
located near the bottom to your city name.
===============================================================================
That should be it for instructions.....
Anyone wondering, Why Pidgin??..
...from dictionary.com:
"an auxiliary language that has come into existence through the attempts by the speakers of multiple different languages to communicate and that is primarily a simplified form of one of the languages, with a reduced vocabulary and grammatical structure and considerable variation in pronunciation."
This theme brings together multiple applications, an inspiration of Manila by HTC and my touch (not the phone... but that too) into one theme that should make it seem like all these apps are one in the same!
BTW.. I may be doing other applications (S2P by A_C, but I barely listen to music with my phone) but as of now this is it!
!!big thanks to tene, A_C, mort and rl for their great apps!!
Enjoy!

which program are you referring to? but my themes for these programs should not (and in my experience do not) have any effect on the performance of the programs... I have not noticed any performance decrease, which means noone else should either.

I forgot to add that to hide the bottom bar on your today screen, you need to install PMC Today Shrink.cab (its a tiny file, it just hides the bottom bar)
I will attach it to this post
in mortbuttons, those two selections should be in the display tab, right above "transitions"
I really like this theme. Great. However, i'm only using rltoday and i like to see that theme only with clock and unread SMS, missed calls and unread mail. Is it possible to get rid of the calendar and mortbuttons? That would be fantastic.
I'm using rltoday with ultimatelaunch and todayagenda.

attached is just the top (clock etc.. no bottom bar of icons)
you can edit the skin.xml if you want to change size of the screen.
bg.png is the background for the clock
background.png is the same color as the background of bg.png, but just that color.. so it can be used as your today screen background behind the rltoday background.
hope this is what you were looking for!
tell me if you would like it to be changed at all

Help on installing
Hi,
I'm no expert in configuring theme. However I do like your theme.
I've installed, mortbutton, rltoday, and pocketcm.
Manage to get the pocketcm working without flaw.
However, after I installed mortbutton and rltoday and replacing the screen, I get this mortscript error when i click on the HOME button.
Any help or step by step installation guide?
Thanks a lot.

did you go through post #1 with all the instructions?
And did you install mortscript?
if you did the above two... can you tell me what the mrtcsript error says?
Hi,
I did not installed mortscript? What is it by the way?
I got this error.
The file 'MortScript' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of it's component cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file.
PS: I following all instructions in post 1. Except the s2u2 which I do not require. Is it mandatory?
I've just installed Mortscript 4.11b7 and still gets the same error.
Ok. This is stupid of me. If i install mortscript in my storage card. It works.
Thanks.
thanks for including the psd files too.. something most people dont do...
I installed everything word for word and got everything workin perfect, now my ONLY problem is that when I click on the arrow to get the weather, and error shows up sayin "Mortscript error-the file moertscript cannot be opened, Either it is not trusted with a certificate or one of its components cannot be found."
Anybody know why im getting this error? I do have mortscript installed also but not to use it with this theme. Also where is the control.exe for the settings tab? b/c I dont know the file path for the settings.
jesus, no help at all.......is it really that hard to get some help here lol

Hi, this is a great skin for pcm keyboard. Much easier to use then the default skin. I have 1 question: you added the long press to show upper case letter but this overwrite the long pause to show key press. Most time, I would like a lower case letter instead but want to key press longer to confirm I've pressed the correct button before release. I ended up having a upper letter in most case. Can this be change to either key press long to show current case letter and if press much longer (another 250ms?) show the changed case letter? Or even better, show 2 cases at the same time?
Thanks, again great skin for keyboard and contact. I have also some question on the contact skin and will post my reply over the other thread.
Cheers,

If you do not want to mess with rlToday skin files, you need to install mortscript in the "storage card". Skin-file in "pidgin desktop", skin-tab -files in the "pidgin desktop/mscr" directory do point mortscript to the "storage card".
BTW, thank you for htctoucher for a wonderful theme pack! I'm in transition replacing my old and trustworthy Wizard with Kaiser and wanting to do this kind of touching .
Here is a wm7-inspired theme I have been working on. It comes in Blue and Black, and ONLY SUPPORTS QVGA.
The preview only shows black (blue is blue where this preview is black - except for the keyboard.. this is the same in both versions)

The person icon is pocketcm for me, you can link it to whatever you want, and the web is the next icon.
To set this up properly, go into options of rltoday (hold down on the today until options pops up) then go into the "Apps" tab.
....make sure your first FOUR applications correspond to:

RLTODAY WEATHER
**EDIT THESE FILES IN NOTEPAD**
To update weather, press on the weather icon or any of the degrees shown.

**IF YOU WANT TO ADD MORE BLUE INTO YOUR TSK, INSTALL UI TWEAKER** (included in UI TWEAKER folder)
....take the "WM7 black UITWEAK" file I included in the folder

....Launch SysColor Changer, press "Tools"(the softkey), Import, and select "WM7 black UITWEAK"
....press ok, ok, ok and it will reset your device.
....if you dont like the added blue you can go back into SysColor Changer, Tools, and press reset
==================================================

Enjoy!

wm7-inspired Dialer to match PCM Contact theme
here is a dialer I made to match the PocketCM Contact Dialer
looks like this:
***DIALER INSTRUCTIONS***
.....Attached is a .zip.
.....You will have to first install the .cab file, which will install a Diamond-styled dialer (the original dialer is an iphone dialer, but I cannot remember where I found it)
.....With that installed, you may have to reset.
.....Take the images I have included in the folder called "Images" in the .zip attached, and drag them into your Windows folder on your Device
.....Overwrite all files.
there is a blue and black version.
===============================================
I recently tried out the shrink to fit option and liked it, so created bubbles for this feature.
looks like this:
......black bluegreen................................black bluesilver...............................blue blue silver..................................blue bluegreen.............
enjoy!

Good morning,
nice to see another good skin coming.
I tried your Pidgin Manila-styled Theme on my Diamond, which did not work because VGA iso QVGA (?). But now I hope you'll be able to upload this PocketCM theme.
Can I use it on my Diamond with pcm 25c?
Thanx allready

nope.. this is made for QVGA screens only
I was in contact with a fellow that has a diamond (huey), over on PocketCM and here, and we are looking in to making VGA versions of some of my themes. His device is in for repair now, but once it is fixed you should see some VGA coming your way!
hopefully it doesnt take too long!

I'll just keep checking in so once in a while. I like your style.
Great themes and the dialer also very nice
I'm digging the style. Good work.

superb work.. I installed this on my touch and it rocks.. Thanks for such a lovely work..One thought, when moving between tabs, it takes time and refreshing of the mage is also very slow.. Can something be done to speed it up...
WOW!!!! im speechless, Loving this style A+
did i miss the pcmkeyboard and image viewer skin??? i dont see it for D/L
*edit* never mind, i found it
but the image viewer theme looks the same though

i wish, this seems to be a limitation with the program itself (I would love to see rltoday updated with tab support, transitions etc.)
But rltoday doesnt have tab support, so this theme actually uses mortscript to change between different skin setups.. too bad rltoday doesnt seem like its gonna be updated any time soon :/

thanks man.
by looks the same, do you mean as the standard theme that comes with ImageViewer?
The only thing I changed was:
...moved the favorite icon
...changed the headers
...allowed more room for viewing images
...customized dropdown menu
...removed scrollbar
...changed pressed button
...changed font size, location and type
I did not touch the header buttons because I thought they looked good.
Are you not seeing my changes?
if you cant, you may have loaded PCMImageViewer once before using my theme. In that case, you will have to go into the folder where the .exe is, and there is a usersetting file or something like that, you have to delete that.
hope that helps

Amazing work, htctoucher
one of the best graphic designs i have ever seen (excluding some wisbar designs ...)
Is there a Keyboard skin that matches the blue theme or is it just the black keyboard? I downloaded the blue-theme PocketCM file and followed the directions, but the skin for the keyboard looks black. Is that correct or am I doing something wrong?
I think im retarded, im stuck on the RLToday thingon changing it and stuff...Help!

have rltoday activated on your today screen (windows mobile options-->today-->today items-->check rltoday)
hold down on rltoday on your homescreen and a popup with "options" will come up. Go into options
here you will select the skin in a dropdown "wm7"
then go into apps and follow the instructions which should take you through it
when you are creating apps, to get the icons to show, you have to define custom icons to the ones that are in the wm7 folder on your device
hope that helps
(to quote use the little quotation icon on the posting toolbar where the font styles etc are (haha))

@ HTCTOUCHER
It says mortscript cannot be opened. even after three installs...am i installing the wrong 1 or what? i installed the ppc cab..hey thnks for the help btw
Awesome work @ htctoucher !!!
I like this rlToday Theme a lot.
I worked self on an WM7 Theme for it (base was your older version from forum), but this is very...very...did i say it ? very great
Is it possible for you to make a "white" touched WM 7 ? White background with black letters a.s.o. ?
I worked on an script for me, that changes the theme on any time you want, ex. on evening darker, on daylight much lighter theme..
Best regards !

The curved version shown in the preview in post#1 is the first attachment (htctoucher wm7-inspired skin.zip)
There is landscape support, but it does not look very good. If you like the curved top, you can't have it in landscape view until PCMKeyboard is updated to support landscape images!
The straight top version is the second attachment (htctoucher wm7-inspired skin straight top landscape support.zip)
As this says, it supports landscape, but has a straight top.

Ive been talking to a guy who has an HTC Diamond (huey), and as soon as his device is fixed (apparently it is now in for repairs) we are going to make some VGA themes. Once we make one, it should be easy to churn out more because we will have the settings file as a base.
hopefully it doesnt take too long

Great job htctoucher I really liked v1 graphically but was missing the features added in pocketcm.25c as far as contact pic and the flip to contact info page. Then you added it into v2 and then v3 changed up the options page. Very excited to continue to use your theme, however, the only change I could forsee would be to make the time show in non-military time.
Very nice theme! I used the PointUI forever, and now think this one looks so sharp I had to switch. One question though...
Any way to make the bottom "link bar" on the contacts page dissappear? I don't really use it ever, and I really liked how it wasn't there on PointUI theme.
Thanks!
Problem on the Mogul
I keep getting a red screen when i switch to your theme. Help Pleasssse.

how would you switch from all contact view to contact with sms view?
if that doesnt matter to you, though.. you can do the following:
to hide bottom bar change the following lines:
(Open settings.ini in notepad, press CTRL+F to use the find function.. find the following lines and change them to what you see below. When you are done.. press CTRL+S to save)
portrait.iconpanel.*.box=0,0,100%,100%
landscape.iconpanel.*.box=0p,0,100%,100%
if that doesnt work.. also change the following:
## main four buttons layout fav, sms, contacts, keypad
portrait.iconbutton.filterbutton.box=0,0,0,0
landscape.iconbutton.filterbutton.box=0,0,0,0
portrait.iconbutton.smsbutton.box=0,0,0,0

Ok, just as I suspected... now I can't get into options at all.... and this is what it looks like after editing all the above steps. When I did only the first step, it just had the orange ALL CONTACTS bar at the top, and still had the bar at the bottom. Now, it's gone nuts.
I have noticed a slight problem I think at least on my phone. The icons seem to be a bit ...off. When I click the icon that takes you to the options area (AllContacts, Conatacts with SMS, Go to options....etc) You have to click slightly above the go to options icon otherwise it will click the little person with the magnify glass icon. I think it's only the very bottom bar though, not the rest of the icons.

true.. I havent figured out how to get the options button in the filterlist panel to move up (not sure if its possible).. to go into options more easily.. just hold down the phone button.. the first button is for options

[VGA][WM 6.5 & 6.5.x]HDWall-Like Mod for Sense 2.5 - Updated 03-11-10 with more cabs!
VGA HDWallUpdate 03-12-2010
Well, I made some more cabs if anyone is interested. The 6.5 and 6.5.x versions are zipped together. Make sure you install the right one for your SYS. You can match screenshots to the names on the softkey bar. Hopefully some people like them. They are attached to post 3 and post 4.

It's HDWall-Like because you have to do more work to get your own images . I don't have the knowledge to create a program like the one that exists for WVGA.
This mod is for VGA users running Sense 2.5 on their phones. I have only tested it with the current Sense_2.5.2012 VGA port, but it may work on the Sense_2.5.1921 VGA port. There are versions for both 6.5 and 6.5.x. This mod contains the 2012 Better_Background mod by amarullz and the a modified version of the bg4all mod I made following cookiemonster's instructions. For now, alignment is only perfect in portrait mode.
Instructions and cabs for creating your own images will be in post #2. I have simplified the process as best as I can, but it will take a little work on your part to get your own images.
The VGAHDWall mushroom cabs attached to this post will give you the HDWall picture above and also change WM6.5(.x) startmenu picture and make remove the opaque WM6.5(.x) start menu curtain. I have also attached various cabs to get the transparent slider, transparent curtains, transparent WM6.5(.x) start menu curtain, and transparent clock weather alarm date calendar.
Make sure you choose the right version for your OS (6.5 or 6.5.x)!
Please report any problems you may have (other than it not aligning right in landscape ).
It should work well with almost other sense 2.5 mods (the only manila file required is 090a4ee8_manila and 4bfcbbee_manila, 285d005a_manila, and 0509ab83_manila are used for the better quality wallpaper).
Making your own VGAHDWall Backgrounds
16 March 2010 Update
Easier and quicker template for making vgahd.png, vgahd_softkeybar.png, and vgahd_taskbar.png posted by jorgepr13 <here>. Save as png-24.
*click thumbnail for larger view
Step 1: Find a 480x640 wallpaper you want to use
Step 2: Open image in photo editing program (photoshop in this example)
Step 3: Open appropriate .psd (if using photoshop) or make your own template for taskbar/softkey bar. For WM 6.5, you need a template of 480x52 pixels.
I highlighted the entire 480x52 pixel template and moved that selection to the top of the 480x640 wallpaper. For 6.5.x, you need a template of 480x36 pixels and you select/copy the top 480x36 pixels of your wallpaper.
Step 4: Copy the top 480x52 pixels into the 480x52 template and save the file as vgahd_taskbar.png.
Step 5: Open appropriate .psd or make canvas for the softkey bar. WM6.5 uses the same 480x52 pixel template. For 6.5.x, you need a 480x68 pixel template. Copy the bottom 480x52 (6.5) or 480x68 (6.5.x) pixels and paste them into the template. Save that file as vgahd_softkeybar.png.
Step 6: Save the 480x640 wallpaper as vgahd.png.
Step 7: Make a copy of vgahd.png (ie vgahdtemp.png) and rename it to homebackground.img with no .png extension.
Step 8: Copy vgahd_taskbar.png, vgahd_softkeybar.png, and vgahd.png to \Program Files\VGAHDwall (you will have to create the VGAHDwall directory there).
Step 9: Copy homebackground.img to \windows on your device (overwriting the current one if it asks).
Step 10: Install the WM6.5 VGAHDwall.cab (WM 6.5) or WM6.5.X VGAHDwall.cab (WM 6.5.x) to your device and soft reset. These cabs contain the appropriate registry settings for taskbar/softkeybar and sense background (assuming you copied files to the correct directories ). They also contain the better background mod by amarullz (3 manila files) and the modifed bg4all (1 manila file).
Steps need to be done in order.
If you switch to a different .tsk, you will need to install the cab again to make the taskbar and softkeybar show your image.
If you want your start menu background to match, go to settings->Today->check box at bottom ("use this picture...") and pick vgahd.png. You will need to copy vgahd.png to a directory that it searched (ie \My Documents\My Pictures).
For a better look, you can replace stwater_480_640.jpg and stwater_640_480.jpg with your custom image. In the mushroom example in post 1, I saved vgahd.png as stwater_480_640.jpg. Then I re-sized vgahd.png to 640x480 (did not constrain proportions) and saved it as stwater_640_480.jpg. Copy both stwater_xxx_xxx.jpg files to \windows and soft reset phone. This will make the landscape start menu and titanium wallpapers look better.
Another tip to easily copy and overwrite files to \windows is to use cfcgui by chainfire. Just open the program and drag the files you want to copy to the white box in the upper left that says "drop files here....". It will copy files and restart sense for you (will still need to soft reset phone for taskbar/softkeybar and start menu to show).

Well, if you can't get the wallpaper to work, just select your wallpaper via the menu-home wallpaper-weather wallpaper on homepage. It should show up then. Make sure to install the cab (and reset) after doing all of the other steps like put homebackground.img in \windows and vgahd.png in \program files\vgahdwall if you are trying to get everything set all at once (of course, changing the wallpaper the normal way might be simpler).

It's simple enough. You can take apart cabs with a program called cab2oem. Google will probably find you a link. Then you can see what files are inside and know where they go.
Anyway, to get rid of it delete the following:
from \windows
285d005a_manila
0509ab83_manila
4bfcbbee_manila
StartMenu_Background_Screen_480x640.png
StartMenu_Background_Screen_640x480.png
homebackground.img
stwater_480_640.jpg
from \program files
delete entire \vgahdwall directory
Finally, set your tsk again.
That's it. You will be left with what was cooked in your ROM.
that's very nice looking! what about preparing one with this simple background? should look awesome..
i tried to prepare one by myself but the taskbar and bottom bar did not become transparent,they were still black.. dunno what i did wrong??
thanks mwalt did your suggestion and worked thanks
i'm trying on wm6.1/sense 2.5.2012 but still have no luck. the wallpaper shows up but the taskbar and softkeybar are still black. do i have to use some kind of transparent taskbar cab or the two 480x52 files are skin textures for them? maybe it's not 100% compatible with wm6.1..?
i did a cab:
the reg strings from the .rgu are imported
manila files and homebackground.img go to \windows\
vgahd png files (wall/top/bottom) go to \program files\vgahdwall\
i'm missing something?
---
edit:
nvm..from what i've read the wm6.1 taskbar and softkeybars are not skinnable..
I'm using "Blond" and my phone looks awesome. Thanks mwalt2!
I keep looking to the templates... and I think it will be easier using the slice tool (photoshop) and save for web & devices...
You make everything in the same window... it will separate the taskbar and softkeys... and you can save the complete image
If the slices are not shown, select the slice tool.
If they still dont show, make them...
With the slice tool selected:
-you can edit them by r-click (Edit slice Options),
there you can type the name (that's how that slice will be named when you save it)
-you can drag them to put them in place with the slice tool selected too.
When saving, select 'Save for Web & Devices...'
click the slices to select the extension, change quality if you want, ect
EDIT: Changed templates to png-24 preselected
added homebackground.img creator (a simple script that copy vgahd.png and renames it), place in the same folder of vgahd.png, and r-click > run as admin
EDIT2: Added the MakeCab... just place all in the same folder and run the script (r-click > run as admin) it includes the homebackground.img creator...

I keep looking to the templates... and I think it will be easier using the slice tool (photoshop) and save for web & devices...
You make everything in the same window... it will separate the taskbar and softkeys... and you can save the complete image
If the slices are not shown, select the slice tool.
If they still dont show, make them...
With the slice tool selected:
-you can edit them by r-click (Edit slice Options),
there you can type the name (that's how that slice will be named when you save it)
-you can drag them to put them in place with the slice tool selected too.
When saving, select 'Save for Web & Devices...'
click the slices to select the extension, change quality if you want, ect
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks, that does simplify things and works well (once I remember to save as png24 ). I've updated post 2 with a link to your post. I'm a photoshop noob, so I had not used the slice tool before.
edit - One other thing I've noticed is that the manila wallpaper is sometimes brighter than the taskbar/softkeybar images. It seems that manila changes this and can cause there to be a noticeable line between the two. One fix is to change the brightness +5 and contrast +6 (or so) for the taskbar and/or softkeybar. This will make it appear more fluid and the separation to be less noticeable.
