[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).
More pre-made cabs
cabs attached
reserved for more pre-made backgrounds and user-created ones
WoW! Rock on man, I've been wanting to use this for awhile but the original never worked correctly for my poor old diamond.
Can't wait to work with this!
One bump for more cabs attached.
Thanks man these are great. I love how it makes the screen seem larger and less cluttered.
imma try this out
awesome work
thanks
well i got it to work once by doing my own ..when i tried again only the top and bottom would show up and the reg wallpaper .followed the steps to a T
really need a program like the one for qvga lol oops wvga i meant
uuuggghh
how do you uninstall this? i changed my mind about wanting it and now it wont uninstall and it's really frustrating because my phone now looks retarded and i dont feel like hard resetting when i just spent two hours tinkering with it to set up this new rom the way i want it

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...

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.

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.
==============================
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)

<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\wm7\rl_vista_weather.mscr" />
</Text>
(located near the bottom) to your city name.
**I have also included TWO STYLES for the background (different bottom), just name whichever one you want to use "weatherbg.png"**
==================================================
**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
....place it somewhere on your device (preferably on device, not storage card.. although this may not matter)
....Launch SysColor Changer, press "Tools"(the softkey), Import, and select "WM7 black UITWEAK"

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.
WOW...Great Skin...
Great 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?

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
@ 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 !
another question...is there a way i can change the sms app, i dnt use the 1 that is predestined...i installed something else
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

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

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"

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

NeoTitanium Rev1.1 is released.
NeoTitanium All Resolution Alpha Test Mediafire - RapidShare
DragonWorld NeoTitanium Rev1.1 Full Suite.zip - DOWNLOAD HERE
DragonWorld TWeather Icon Skins.zip - DOWNLOAD HERE
Youtube Video Here
It has support for CLauncher, CS2P, TWolf Multiplugin, CCom, CVolume, CMultiClock, CHome, CClock, TitaniumWeather, OperaFavs, GPrograms, CTwitter, CFacebook, ArteseaTwitter, and many more.
The Plugin most be installed for them to work.
The attached ZIP has my Windows Mobile 6.5 Theme shown in the Screenshot, the NeoTitanium cab, Mortscript 4.3b10, and the CMultiClock cab.
INSTALL CMULTICLOCK BEFORE MORTSCRIPT.
Note: The new mortscript may cause bugs in plugins built on older version. Please consult plugin developer with any bugs.
Update Log:
Rev.5
Added Support for CLauncher, CS2P, & TWolf Multiplugin.
Rev.6
Updated CMultiClock Layout for v0.9.1. CMultiClock has Transparent & Red Clock built in now. No need to add skin.
Rev.7
Fixed AM/PM bug in CMultiClock plus made it use images instead of text for AM/PM.
Fixed Static Slider Icons so they are all "truely" static.
Rev.8
Fixed Script bug in CMulticlock CAB. Make sure to uninstall old versions first.
Added Glowing Slider Icon, when you press the slider it'll now glow red.
Rev.9
Added Missed Calls/Voicemail/SMS/MMS/Email Notifications to CMulticlock.
NOTE1: Both Rev.9 and CMulticlock must be reinstalled.
NOTE2: If there's no text next to the notification icons, you device ROM uses different registry for the Notification than. I'll write a walkthrough later on how to edit the script to change this registry if this is the case.
NOTE3: On Soft Reset, The Phone count will loose it's # text. This is normal as the registry being read by Mortscript gets deleted by WM on Soft Reset if it = 0. When you get a new missed call, it'll come back.
Added CHome Settings Plugin Fix CAB to the ZIP.
The CMultiClock Skin CAB is included in the ZIP.
Rev1.0
Added buttons to CMulticlock. (Buttons are binded for Call History/Phone App/SMS Inbox/OutLook Accout List/Analog&Digital Display Switch/AM/PM Display Switch & can be changed through registry [HKLM:Software\Microsoft\CHome\CMultiClock - Values with bt#_link = app url/Values bt#_parameter = app arguements])
Fixed Analog/Digital Display Switch, no more need to edit registry manually.
Rev1.0a
Fixed CPR layouts for the animations of the Buttons
Rev1.1
Made the Slider & Text Panel Background 2 images now. This way people trying to port NeoTitanium to other Resolution don't need to mess with them. They'll should now scale properly.
Adujusted & Changed the Page Arrow Images & Positions. They can be use as buttons to change the pages.
Added My Topbar Icons to the ZIP. (2 versions Rev3 goes with normal themes, Rev3a goes with Rev1a Theme Included/This is because the actually Icon Image is part of the Taskbar image in the "a" version so the DLL has a blank ico to make it look right)
ScreenShot of the "a" version of the Theme/Taskbar;

In order to change to analog clock in CMultiClock, click the setting softkey to tell the script to change. Then, open the registry Extensibility Value and change "Neo" to "NeoAnalog". It's at the very end of the value.

Hi drkfngthdragnlrd
First to thank you for this beautiful theme, amazing work !
Second, I installed the clock and later uninstalled, one because it couldn't show the analog clock even after changing the settings, and 2 it made the device slow, probably the scripts in the start up folder.
Third, it doesn't recognise CCom 0.32 which was installed before.I hope you have an idea about it.
I'll follow this thread especially to see if you'll add support for more plugins like CLauncher
All the best

CComm 0.32 is working for me. But GPrograms is not showing up.
If you change under CHome registry the extensibilityxml at the end from Neo to NeoAnalog like mentioned in the first post it changes to the analog clock.
Edit: After disabling and enabling GPrograms again it is now showing up... great!!
After playing around with it for a while following remarks:
The only plungins of my installed ones, which are not showing up are:
CLauncher (my games launcher)
CS2P (like S2P better as WMP)
TWolf multiplugin (like that better as Multiclock, faster and more complete)
The picture in the MyPic plugin could be a bit bigger, and also the current weather icon (i will change that in the cpr).
Very very nice theme, love it.
Hi claus
Thanks for the answers, I overlooked the instructions, yet as I said for the clock, the main prob is the slowering of my device, it becomes choppy, I understand not for you
My main setback is CComm, I changed its script to prevent data to be activated at all, and the cpr to remove the icon, do you think there could be an impact on the theme?
Hey man, I am really diggin this theme...I love how the icons are down the side...is there any possibility of getting this in vga? I would be willing to donate some $$$ if we could get this in vga
Sorry for the long wait. Was up all night when I released it & just woke up.
@claus1953 I'll add layouts shortly for those plugins.
@tito12 I'll check into why CCom isn't working for you with the version you're using.
As for a VGA version or any other resolution, I only have a QVGA device. If anyone wants to port my cpr layouts to other resolutions, they are welcome to.
Hi
Thanks, I tried chome editor and enabled it, and it works !
A little thing though, the wifi icon on the left doesn't change when switching panels. Also I condensed view it doesn't show text or icons, just wifi icon on left...

The icons on the left are just static. I hard linked them in the cprs. So, they won't change between pages. This is the condensed view is how it's meant to be. This to to give the active (expanded) plugin more room to display stuff and mimik the Neo(T-Mobile Shadow)/M2D/TF3D interfaces.
All NeoTitanium images are in the /Neo directory at the root of your device. I decided to put them in their own easy directory for skinners or people who may not like my icon choices.
And yes, claus1953, I am still using custom cprs. This will help prevent custom plugin installers from overwriting my layouts which are what makes NeoTitanium. The cprs are Neo & NeoAnalog and is what you're changing in the ExtensibilityXML.

BTW, porting to VGA should be easy, but time consuming.
It'll require copying out the Neo_240x320, Neo_320x240, NeoAnalog_240x320, & NeoAnalog_320x240 cprs.
Rename them to your resolution (VGA = 480x640 & 640x480).
Then, opening then cpr's in a text editor such as wordpad and doubleling (for VGA) all "Top", "Left", "Width", & "Height" values.
For WQVGA, add -40 to all negative "Top" values & 40 for all positive "Top" values. Also any 240 or 320 value must be changed to your resolution. I think that should cover it for the cpr porting.
You may also want to increase the image sizes as they won't be clear in VGA being streched from 41x41 to 82x82 pixels. All images are once again in the \Neo direction of the root of your device.
All NeoTitanium is, is a custom cpr with edited layouts.
BTW working on Rev.5 which include CLauncher/CS2P/&TWolf Multiplugin support. Editing those layouts atm.

Ok, I get it, but in this case you should make ALL the left icons static: the photos, calendar and notification don't change but are not static

Static means does not change, so I don't quite get what you are saying. Especially since every plugin's left icon is hard links in the cprs (source="\Neo\Neo_***.png).

S2U2 DUSK skin ~ tacchan23 edition
Info:
- credits and special thanks to grzegorz10 for the most beautifull DUSK theme and his help; also thanks to xpressyourcell for his S2U2 dusk theme which inspired me on this
- (W)VGA only
- Based on S2U2 2.34; after installing the skin cab to the same location of S2U2, restart S2U2 or soft reset
- By tapping on the clock, you can choose between 2 different versions as in the screenshots
- Don't change the S2U2 "appearance" settings if you want to have the same results as in the screenshots
- It will enable the S2U2 Volume Control which I think is very nice (in case you don't want to use it, disable it in the Settings)
- By defualt, the wallpaper will change every 1 hour (or u can go to S2U2 settings and choose a fixed wallpaper instead or delete those you don't like and/or add more wallpapers or move them to a different folder, etc); if you have a NON english ROM, you may need to change the folder path manually in the Wallpaper settings of S2U2
- If you want to top taskabr in Dusk glass style, you need to use the included wallpapers (as S2U2 doesn't support a taskbar image I had to edit the wallpaper itself with the taskbar graphics)
- I could use still some help to finish skinning some small details I'm not sure of; if you can help, read the second post below
- I can't test Data icons (G/E/3G/H/1x) so if someone could check if they are allright and post some screenshots would be nice! Also any other feedback is appreciated

If you want to offer me a drink CLICK HERE
Sadly it's not possible to change the background and text colors of the Setting pages; and for that reason also it's not possible to use black buttons there.
Anyway I could skin almost everything, but I still couldn't figure out some:
- is it possible to change the color of the battery in the taskbar? (for the battery in the setting page it should be possible I think,even if I didn't try it)
- just to confirm things, the TopMost curtain doesn't have any image file, right?
- is possible to change the color of signal strength bars?
- I couldn't figure out which is the .png for the "pushed" keys in the password dialer
- Also I'd like to know where those images are used: buttonB, buttonR, diverted, ecasterik, ptbutton, ptbuttonL, smusic, stbuttonL
If someone can help me a bit would be nice
Thanks

Thank You~
Uploaded Blue version, let me know if it works
it works but without the dripping wallpapers, all I get was the clock, taskbar and slide to unlock on a black background after a reset.
Edit: I have a dutch rom, so I had to go set them again. It works;-) thanks!
But when I receive mail or a missed call I see the default icons and not your nice blue ones. Also my clock\ is not the right one but just clean text which not fit in the squares. I might have changed that myself in the past.
Where can I change the icons for email?
Can you please give me the clock in a zip file so I can replace the clock\ with this one?
Cheers,
Arnold

Thanks for testing
could you help me a bit more? I'd like to know exactly what happens while installing my cab to a NON-english ROM. What u had to do in the beginning?
Where did the wallpapers got installed? in a wrong folder? or u had to change the setting in S2U2 to point to "program files in your ROM language" folder?
Also it's strange about icons... could u go to the folder S2U2\gfx and check the image notice.png?
Also about the clock, it should overwrite your old clock.

Installing went okay, I had to change in settings the wallpapers from "program files/S2U2/wallpapers" to "Programmabestanden/S2U2/wallpapers" as I have a Dutch rom.
The clock does not overwrite my old clock, I reinstalled again, but it does not overwrite it. Maybe something has to change in the cab? I don't know.
In notice.png I have still the default white/grey ones. Can you share the png file here so I can overwrite it? Also the clock\ please. I can overwrite manually in resco file explorer.
Cheers,
Arnold

Can u have a look at all the other files in gfx folder? just the notice.png is the original one? (strange if so°_°)
Also what about clockH\ ?
Attached clock and notice.png
Okay I reinstalled completely S2U2 and your cab. Soft reset and installed first S2U2 the latest version. Than installed your Cab and now it is working. Clock and notice.png are changed.
Of course I had to change the wallpaper settings again because of my Dutch Rom.
Problem with clock and notice can be caused I did not have the latest version of S2U2, I can't think of anything else. It looks perfect by the way
EXCEPT (I know, I am a pain in the butt) The battery charger. That is still the old ones I used. I looked in gfx and all battery icons are the old ones except "batteryC" and "batteryG", but batteryempty,battery0,1,2,3/10/20/30 etc are all the old ones.
Cheers,

Can you upload a zip file with the graphics instead of a CAB file?
Hi tacchan. I was able to properly install the S2U2 theme on my 6.5.5 JC1 based ROM. The only issue I had was the wallpapers folder, properly installed in gfx folder. But when I try to configure the folder in S2U2 settings, I'm able to enter gfx folder, but not wallpapers subfolder as in gfx other images are already present. I was able to bypass the issue by moving wallpapers folder to same level of gfx, select it as default wallpapers folder and sw reset.

The battery 0,1,2,3/10/20/30 etc aren't included in the standard S2U2 installation, they are a separate zip file right?
Honestly I never liked them much couse you lose the charging animation (that's the only thing that make me want to even have the big battery to begin with^^), so I didnt include them in my skin.

Honestly I don't understand why you can't access the \wallpaper folder if it's inside the \gfx folder... I have no such a problem. You have latest version of S2U2?
Would there be a QVGA version of these theme since I would like to use it with my Omnia i910 it look amazingly cool....

Added RED skin for VGA, link in first post
Fab. All's working as far as I can tell. Clock changes colour when tapped, wall paper changes. Great. Thanks. Appreciated.
Edit: My S2U2 is 233 version.
Man, are you singing "anything you can do, I can do better, I can do anything better than you"? First you show me up on the Swype skins, and now you show me up on the S2U2 skin? No worries. Starting to cook some of your skins into my ROM's. I figure that if you are doing the skinning, it gives me more time for cooking.
I thought I would share my current theme/skin in case anyone wants at least a part of it. I'm currently using an NRG Rom for my Tilt2 so the sense icons started with that general theme. It bugs me when all my icons do not match, so I skinned several programs that I use all the time so that everything flows well together. I should mention that some of these skins (power radio and thumbcal for example) may be WVGA only.
Update: Dialer cabs now available in post #3 - not sure if Leo cab is answer for HD2 dialer canvas problems - let me know(Dec 22)
Update: CHT2 Icons cab file in post #3 (Dec 3)
Update: New wallpapers for WVGA CHT2 in post #3 (Nov 15)
Update: Added blue highlight selection bar to phone skin zipped file in second post (Nov 9)
Update: Phone skin zipped file added to second post (Nov 7)
Update: Sense Icons, Comm Manager, Notification Icons, and Phone skin download link added to second post (Nov 6)
Update: Taskbar and Swype added to second post (Nov 4)
Look at the bottom of the first 4 posts for the attached cab/zipped files. Also the Earth and sun and moon wallpaper you see on the S2U2 screen shot is in the wallpaper.zip file.
My taskbar is a modified version of the m6silver color taskbar so most of the credit goes to him for that. I've changed the notification icons to match the sense theme I'm using. You will also notice that I use a couple of dusk images (like several graphics in the S2U2 theme and the Clock Background for Sense) and I don't want to take credit for that. If I have used someone elses icons, I don't want to take credit for them so let me know. I have worked a lot to make most of my own icons. I haven't really made most of the graphics, I have just pulled them from the web and converted them for the program images. I'm not a graphic artist.
The action screen is configured for some of the apps I use so it may not work for you. You can always visit the thread learn how to update the registry yourself.
I'm always open to suggestions and comments. I'm not really satisfied with the contact sense icon. I don't really like the orange background on the picture in the contact card. I'm looking for a better solution on that one. Also if anyone know how to skin the system icons on the notification screen, I'd like to know.
I've attached some screen shots and I will start putting together the cab files for the installs. It seems that I keep changing and updating the theme until I get it completely right.

CHT Forelayer / CHT Icons / Action Screen / Power Radio
I have made a lot of realize type icons that are rounded iphone looking. If anyone is interested, I will post those as well. Here's a couple of screen shots:
Also, standard disclaimer - don't hold me responsible if something goes wrong with your phone.
Here's the forelayer skins I use. See this thread for more information on the new CHT feature.
Also, I had to split the Swype skin into portrait and landscape because the file was to big too add. Plus not everybody needs landscape.
The Finger Keyboard skin is for this keyboard program.
The cab for the phone skin is too big so here's a download link. If the cab file isn't working (it doesn't seem to work for me either for some reason - anyone know why), I was able to copy the files in the attached zipped folder and use total commander or resco explorer to copy from my SD card to my windows folder. Give that a try. I should mention that I haven't fixed the graphics for the Landscape skin. I don't ever use the phone in landscape, but I might work on after I get everything else fixed. If you do copy over the files, I would make a backup of those files - especially the phcanimages.dll. Also, I don't even know which dialer is technically in the NRG ROM and for right now I don't have the VGA version done yet. I want to get the WVGA landscape done first.
The Sense Icons are all the icons that I updated from the standard Energy ROM theme. So some of them I haven't changed. If you need all the slider icons I can provide those as well. Just let me know.
Let me know if any of the cabs aren't working. I'm having trouble getting the phone dialer skin to work with cab install.
Sense icons and tabs
Dialer
Notification / Comm Mgr / Finger Keyboard / Swype
I've attached a cab for the Co0kie Home Tab 2.0 icon set. It also changes the icons in the CHT Editor as well. I'll be skinning the CHT scheduler here soon as well.
SUCCESS!! I've fixed a cab for the dialer. I think I have one for those having problems on the HD2. Try the cab and let me know.
Here's some new WVGA wallpapers I put together. Mostly Sci-Fi ones including the Wide (for CHT2), Portrait, and Landscape versions. The zipped file is very large so I uploaded it to 4shared. Some of these I pulled from XDA but I forget where. Others I pulled from the web and resized for my WVGA device.
One more saved post.
Thanks for sharing!
Excellent Work
Your theme for CHT2 is very good.
By the way, can you provide a link to the taskbar in you snapshots.

Here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653881
I have modified some of the icons and will post my version a little later. I've changed things like wifi, the phone icon, voicemail, and even the default folder icons to the black ones pictured in the resco explorer snap shot. I'm still putting together all the cab files.
I see people are downloading the Resco skin. I realized that I didn't skin all the buttons for the bottom. I just did the ones I use. I might look into skinning the other buttons as well, but there are a lot of buttons. I first will put together all the cab files for the other skins.
Nice choice of songs! I so want to get this thing up and running! Had to replace my Imagio, wife thinks it was the custom ROM with 1.8.5 on it that caused it to die. Soon I hope, soon!
Very nice job as well, this really looks great!
Looks great. I am hoping to try this out really soon.
Hello Worthy,
Bravo !!! It looks great !
Is it possible to have a link to your dialer and the font that you're using in the notifications tab (or S2U2) for example?
Thanks in advance

I actually used this KD Font program and changed to the Hall Fetica Font. You can find this great program here.
I'll post the Dialer cab and the other cabs hopefully today sometime. I'm scheduled to be out most of the day.
every thing looks awesome
im gonna take a guess its for wvga only
I probably could make some vga adjustments. My wife has my old Fuze. Some of the skins will work with vga I think. I'll make a VGA wallpaper at least and I think the dialer, power radio, action screen, and swype landscape are really the only things that will be WVGA. I can adjust the power radio pretty easily. The action screen is WVGA exclusive. I'd might be able to get the swype vga landscape and dialer files from my wife's Fuze.
Is there a big demand for those in VGA?

Which .cab includes the Dialer?
I have difficulty in seeing the stock Ivory dialer and your black dialer is exactly what I have been searching for.
(EDIT) Disregard. The answer is already in thread

Yeah. I just put the download link up this morning.
I downloaded and tried to install the "phone", which I assume included the dialer. It would not install. Got message to try another location for install. I tried both 'device' and 'storage card' and got same result.
