Hallo.
I made this one for you who cant see windows taskbar anymore and get tired of htc Home
All you FIRST need is in the Bluephone-zip file. then you can use my other skins.
My theme just needs vjtoogletodayalphaII and BatteryStatus and a 2 small application to mute the phone/make x button and windows menu enable.
Everything is working: SMS/Email/Missed Calls-Counter; WIFI/BLUETOOTH on/off, mute the phone, a new taskmanager (Batterystatus) etc. You get a new small transparent taskbar with a big taskmanager-button
--) Okay: here we go:1. put the vjtoggletodayalphaII into the windows/Startfolder. Go to Registry: HKLM\Software\Vijay555\VjTodayToggle\ and set the values under "Startsize" und "Softkeysize" to "1". If you need your Softkeys leave/set the sofkeysize to about 26.
2. Install Batterystatus (if you have ultimate launch: it works as a today plugin)
3. Put the folder "SmartUtilities_FilesOnly" to Windows\Program files.
4. Put the File "RegistrySetString.exe" in the "BatteryStatus" folder"
5. Now decide which skin you wantut the bluephone.xml and the folder "bluephone" into the Batterystatus or do the same with greyphone.xml and folder or with Taskbar and Tasbar.xml (u can also put all folders in)
6. Now hold on clicking with stylus on the plugin and choose all rows for showing and choose "lock" rows. AND DONT forget that your new BS-Taskmanager is enable !!!! And choose your SKIN !!!
7. Now you have to do some changes because this is for german version of windows: open the xml u use with your windows editor on your PC or with totalcommander on your ppc:
7.1 you find in the middle a path for: programme\smartutilities_filesonly, change it to program files\....
7.2 you find at the end a path for: "\windows\tmail.exe...." there you see "freenet.de": You can replace this with your own email account. then you can read "Posteingang": replace just this for the english version with "inbox".
7.3 you find there a row with the date like this one - text="dddd, d. MMMM yyyy"- you can change this because this is the european version of date (see picture)
then save the xml file and put it back to your ppc.
- thats it.
- if you like it crazy made more funny sound graphics for you. You find them in "othergraphics", just replace the originals in the Bluephone or Greyphone-folder with them. The wifi/bluetooth icons are with german or english text (on/off-an/aus). Replace them as you like.
- the tabs at the bottom are not part of this, you can find them in my iconthread for Ultimatelaunch.
- FOR THE OKAY BUTTON you must sometimes press your Hardware OK button ! (will find a Solution)
- VGA and Landscape-view dont work. This is just tested with wm 6.0 but should run with wm5
Looks awesome! I'll try it now!
thanks you for your share ;D
Thanx for sharing....nice refreshment for today screen!!
hey very nice!!!....I wonder....is it possible to get the big transparent x button as a stand alone?...I feel like if we could this would enhance a lot of peoples touchscreen experience....let us know!!
mmh, the button you see is a icon that just links to a program called tasklist.exe. This is a part of Batterstatus. It only runnes, i think, if batterystatus is running. So i understand your wish (because it was my wish too) but it wont work without batterystatus.
If you want only my taskbar, i can make you a xml file just with the taskbar.
cool stuff I like the idea and the way you created it
but can you (or someone) make a copy of the iphone taksbar? just the taskbar, not the "desktop" stuff
Is the Smart Utilities the same as this one?This one is already a cab. Could make things easier
(nevermind sry...)
Great looking taskbar created!
Thank you!!!
This is what I was looking for, thanks a lot!!
Downloading now!
bluemetalaxe, congrats, U R really crazy, dude
Nice work, though
Olioaglio
everything looks like promised.
nothing works. not the mute (the "mute" progy doesn't work) not bt 'cose there is no registry key_value="HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Bluetooth" on my phone (maybe 'cose is wm 6.1 ?), not messages. the icon doesn't appear anywhere !
tried to uninstalled it by reversing the steps to install it.
everything went back except the hated windows taskbars and of course i am missing now all the info and settings they were ment for.
i think i'll have to restore a relatively old back-up
suggestions?
[later] got back the wm taskbars. forgot to delete the vjtoggletoday progy. everything back to "normal".
interesting is that the tray launch with the "original" battery status theme, is working. what are the shortcuts to bt and wifi??? didn't you use the same in yr .xlm file?
great work... hopefully there will be more battery themes you can share with us
also how did you make the top bar smaller?
Can you make the bottom tabs part of the same theme? And can I get that headphones grey background?
This looks very cool. Will try it .

as it turns out I do use Batterystatus so yes thank you very much!!...your work here is quite nice....is the clock BS as well?
@tomoffel: If i find time i will try original iphone taskbar. then you have just to repalace the new iphone.xml with the bluephone and some graphics, thats it.
@Vukile: if you install smartUtilities und you find there muteonoff then this will work also. If not, put just my muteonoff in this new folder. you find the backgroundgraphics in your bluephone-folder (take the first 35 pixel of the head1.png= 35x50).
@nothin: i wont buy a iphone cause i cant do such things with that and i have gps and umts on my Polaris And why should WM always look ugly and not be userfriendly, do you use still Windows 95 on your PC ?
@Kukuriku: I`m sorry, tested it on touchcruise wm 6.0 and not on not existing OS There could be trouble with the working of wifi/bluetooth buttons because the registry values depend on wm or some phones.
UNINSTALL IS VERY EASY: Delete vjtoggletoday from your windows startfolder, uninstall Batterystatus, delete the folder with muteonoff.exe. Softreset, thats it.
Cant say anything to BS Traylaunches because i dont use Traylaunch.
@character: can make more themes (a question of time). The topbar is just my graphic with icons and text on it (see in the Bluephonefolder). The original Taskbar is hided by vjtgooles tool. I/You can make it smaler, bigger whatever i want.
@wyzepro: its all just one BS theme/plugin nothing more. The theme has 4 rows (see in the xml file how it works): 1. Taskbar 2. Sound and Clock 3. Date 4.Buttons. I can delete or add rows and buttons as i want.
The tabs at the buttom are part of my Ultimatelaunch theme. I can make them a part of Batterystatus, so that they just open Software,Settings, Internet, Wheater-Program. But everyone has differnt software, or wants to open specific things with that icons, maybe i write a .xml with that and you have to change the xml with links to your software.
EDIT: I sorry, just found a bug im my latest .xml with the Text on the battery-icon. The new .xml will come tonight.
I've cacked open the xml....which files do I delete in order to obtain the large X button you have?
Im sorry dont understand what you want, do you want just the x button and nothing more ? But then you need the original taskbar and will have two x buttons ?

looking at the reg it looks like you used the bronzeres.dll
for the icons but I can't over right it I was able to change the cpr and if you do use the bronzeres. do you use it on neo to
sorry I just figured it out you use the colored icons with different numbers
WOW. Nice job! Do you mind if I build on this and use it in future ROM releases?
Thanks Rick for the Shadow_SlidingPanels.zip but I'm having tremendous issues downloading from Rapidshare from South Africa. Is it please possible to upload the file to another site like 4Shared or Megaupload?
Does the battery meter work on the original neo theme.
later today ill be uploading a updated chome changer.ccs which you dont have to press reset any more
now ready to download
not bad. it took some figuring out. as reading the help ccs was pointless.
the zip is missing files as there is no changer in accessories folder. the theme files dont get copied to the application data/home folder.
a cab installer would be your best solution with this, i can make this for you as well to make it a 1 step east install.
however there is a cchome slim.css file that is the changer but the slide theme doesnt look good ....
if you want ill go through and make the default theme look like it should ..
but other then that nice work...
here is my mod to the theme

I think I've found an annoying bug with your NEO Theme. When I reboot the phone, the Flight Mode (phone radio is off) is turned on. This is even if it wasn't on before rebooting.
It doesn't seem to happen with the Sliding Panel Theme.
Thanks Rick
Don't use this if you intend to switch between themes
If you switch from Neo to sliding windows and try to switch back again, well, first you can't and second you end up with a blank screen. I had to not only turn the phone off, but remove the battery to get the sliding windows back and then EVERYTHING was reset to the defaults. EVERY change I made, having to type in the MyFaves phone numbers instead of being able to pick them from the address book like the original Neo interface was lost. EVERY custom app was lost. EVERY change made in CHOME was lost.
It's a nice try, but I'd rather live without MyFaves than to have all this trouble.
I went through a lot of themes and pulled the FONT files!
Have fun!!
Special thanks to NisseDILLIGAF and this post for showing me the files.
Hope you don't mind I made a cab for the black and white to be able to uninstall easier
I haven't tested them yet, so let me know if there is a problem.
any way to get blue cabbed up as well?
Post #2 UPDATED
thank you!
does this work for all the tabs?
Hello,
I've try the cab files.
I put the file in the internal storage, i execute the cab, i insall in the device.
I do a soft reset, and there is nothing to change.
I've try with the 3 cab files.
Can you help me ?
thank you
Has anyone preview pictures?
I need a cab file only for the home tab, because there I change the wallpaper, so I need to change the font color.
-> the 77faa36d_manila only changes alarm font in Home tab and font Settings Tab. What is with "Calendar, Call History ..." in Home Tab?
For me, when i execute the cab ,it isn't change home tab for the text "calls","calendar", this text is white again so that i execute black cab file.
But for example when i go to message tab, the text messages are black.
i want that the text on home tab change also.
The cab changes the text in all the other screens except the Home screen. For some reason, on the contacts screen, all the text disappeared when I was using the blueish font cab. I just uninstalled it and reinstalled Manila once again. My phone doesn't like most of these cabs because my Manila always gets messed up and I end up spending the next 20mins or so uninstalling/reinstalling to get my flip clock back.
I wish there was a cab that was more (for lack of a better term) 'hotswappable' so I could change things on the fly... without uninstalling/reinstalling. You know, just go into the specific program, select what font color I want to use, hit apply (or something) and viola! I'm done and back to other things.
strongly that it is possible to have a cab file that allow to change color text Home screen because i can't to put the wallpaper that i want.
I wait with impatience.
In installed the black font cab and everything worked except for the calender tab. And for some reason my weather tab just said text at the top and didnt show any weather. So i uninstalled the cab and weather was back and the font stayed black. So my only question is how to i default my font color back when i decide to change my background to a dark color and want the white and grey default?
I have the white font cab for a back up incase but if anyone knows that would be awesome.
I got the same problem with the cabs. I installed the white cab and the weather was gone. I removed it and it was back. Also, when installed my icons under the contact person picture (such as the home, send sms, office, short cuts are gone) Thanks.
The font on some tabs is changed but TF3D keep crashing, tabs aren't loading and the soft keys are getting stuck after going on tabs.
Thanks anyway but its just not working for me
Thanks, Chris

I totally agree with you.
Anyway, could you guys make a red color. please......
Is there a way to make the background for all the icons for TF3D the same like the home screen
Guys, did you succeed with changing home screen font? I need all the text (or at least the appointment details) to turn white. Is that possible?
This doen't work with manila 2.1.
I managed to change some text in some of the manila files but it's hard to find the right files to change...
does anybody know why these fonts are not working?
or can anybody tall me where to get these manila 2.5 files in multiple colors?
I've tried to above 3 cabs, these did not work after installing and softreset
also replacing the manila files itself did not do anything at all
Thanks a lot

NhatHoa ROM 6.5.3.11.3 NLD 28-01-2010
Manila 2.5 1922.2911
Radio 3.45.25.21
I tried it on the stock 6.1 sprint tf3d and it didnt change the home screen but changed all the other screens to black. I just want the home screen changed black because we have a photo on there and you cant see the white text. all the other screens I want to stay white...
I havent been able to find a fix for this anywhere...
so i fixed it myself....(when using wm 6.5, TitaniumWeather and s2u2 weather option is set for "userweather")
This is to fix the issue of S2U2 displaying the wrong weather icon in wm 6.5 and userweather option selected in S2U2.
copy the contents of the file folder (which it should be just pictures) to
S2U2/gfx/weather/ folder, to replace the pictures that are already there.
done....!!!
this has only been tried on windows mobile 6.5 using TITANIUMWEATHER, not touchflo

what does this do other then put the icons on the screen? put it in the center under the clock?
i have found other users with the same issue, the incorrect weather icon is displayed, this fixes that issue....
o do you mean when it get dark the icon stays as a sun instead of the moon?
correct, such as where i am, it has been clear all day, but s2u2 displays snow and ice....it kinda got annoying, so i took care of it....
o nice work
Which of the pictures in the zip did you modify/change? I'm interested in this fix, but I used a different set of weather icons.
Thanks!
right on, heres the story.....
as i was getting annoyed by the inability of the program to display the correct icon, i knew the problem was easy to fix. Accuweather calls upon the weather icon from wm 6.5 using numbers as the file name. So i figured that S2u2 does the same thing, and if that was true then the file names were numbered incorrectly to begin with. looking through the gfx/weather folder i found two sets of icons. the icons that s2u2 were using were incorrectly numbered. i found the second set was correctly numbered and just removed the first set and renamed the second set so that only numbers were in the file name. hence fixing the issue...
i tried the fix and i dont see a difference
p.s. from my understanding when the weather changes the icon changes. so far it hasnt..did i do something wrong?
make sure that s2u2 is setup for UserWeather under the notifications settings tab....its really only viable when u use wm 6.5 interface and TitaniumWeather....
i apologize if i didnt mention that before....i will edit
HTC Sence/touchflo 3d wrong s2u2 icons
I tried a similar trick to the HH_WEATHER icons for the touchflo 3d weather option but there seems to be something more seriously wrong with s2u2. For instance 'party cloudy' and 'mostly cloudy' weather results in displaying the same icon.
After spending a few days swapping icons about I gave up and turned off the weather in s2u2. It seems to be a moving target, like there is some counter out of sync.
This was on a touch pro2, wm6.5. Don't know which HTC Sence verision.
It would be good to know if others with my phone actually have s2u2 weather icons working with the TF3D weather and if there was a fix required.
hello,
For TF3D's weather, it seems not match because S2U2 show forecast only.
A part of the discution with A_C
A_C: "For the Manila 3D, v1.33 simply implemented what's done so far as v1.32d. i.e. some users may still cannot have the weather icon shown. There is no solution yet. Besides, please don't tell me that the icon shown on S2U2 does not match with the Manila 3D's Weather tab any more. It's simply because S2U2 is showing the FORECAST info."
This problem is old problem (V 1.33)
yours,
Hi All, thought I would publish my first effort at a WAD2 theme. My main aim after using other peoples themes was to make one that is 'thumb friendly' and real simple to use. It has 3 menu pages with large graphical buttons, and a 'home' screen with shortcuts to txt, email and call list. this theme is 99% portrait, how ever on my touch pro 2 if i flip the keyboard and go to landscape i do have a very basic black home screen with the 3 shortcuts. If people like the theme and would like to produce their own icons, let me know and I can post up some photoshop templates.
Installation
Install the files to your normal theme directory and search for new themes, then select Angularz as your portrait and/or landscape theme. Please make sure you install the fonts prior to use, as it may not the clock etc correctly.
Fonts
I use helvetica Neue fonts in the theme and have supplied these in the zip file. I also have replaced my system font with helvetica as it looks nicer, but I will leave that down to you. If you just want to use the fonts for WAD only, place the 3 helvetica fonts in your windows folder (with the rest of the system fonts)
I think I have packaged up all the correct bits (if not please let me know!!)
PLEASE CAN A MOD ALLOW ME TO SHARE LINKS!!
This looks neat. Nice docks.
good day.
it's just WOW!!
Thankyou!, I just wanted something simple but visually nice to look at, and this is the end result!
I find that if you increase the display cache size (through altering the windows registry) it does make it scroll through pages a little smoother.
thatbastard,
I'm using your theme and IMO, it is a simple but gorgeus. However, I have a problem with all notifiers. They are not appeared when I have some unread sms or missed calls. Do you have any suggestions? My device is Omnia i8000.
hi Laruku
You can try going to author mode, then page - show notifiers. Go to the properties once held down on the notifier and have a look through there. Mine is set on 'notifier type - unread sms' etc. by default this should work, however I dont know how different it would be on an omia. have a look in there and see if anything has changed.
how do you get out of author mode
taphold at any page and you'll get yourself the popup menu, i forgot which is the get out of author mode menu,,, but it is there,,,
@thatbastard,
would you mind sharing the images? the home wallpaper is really nice.
new version of WAD converts all the images folder into .wadesktop extension,,, which prevents me for extracting the images,
thx
here's my version
hello everybody !
Here's MY angularz, i hope you'll like this.
Koralii
you can see this on Youtube : v=GXtEynNZaf4 (sorry but i'm new here and can't post the shortcut.
Great Work
Great to see an original piece of work. i will give this a shot
Thanks for adding a bit of originality to my blackstone
Mark
Looks great !!!
wow, great theme
i think i'll make some personal changes and it'd be perfect for my daily use, YO~
DOOD JOB!!
Really nice. It's a shame, imo, that windows phone7 doesn't look more like this. My only comment would be that it might look better to have the text in panels up and to the right a few pixels, and have the voicemail icon transparent. (I can only comment on the screenshot as I don't have VAD2 installed on my device...
Thought it would be handy to have a volume icon on the home screen...
Steve.
Hi all, thanks for checking out my theme, Ive glad youve all liked it. Unfortunately I dont have wisbar installed anymore (and Ive had a lot goin on recently) so will not be continuing anymore projects but I thought I would share the remaining files I have. You can continue modding from my theme as freely as you like, as long as you mention it was based on my creation

Sure, there should be a zip file with ALL the angularz images. Ive also included a new homescreen which is a gloss black version (was going to be called Mono Tonez) but it will not be finished.
Enjoy!
good looking theme
willing to release a WQVGA version?
I´m new user of wad and i don´t know how to install this theme. I´ve installed mortscript and wad, and theme in lakerbridge/themes, and fonts in windows/start menu/programs fonts folder, but I don´t know where install angularz.wadesktop
Thanks a lot of.
Uncle Google says:
1. Using ActiveSync, copy the .wadesktop file to any location on your device.
2. From your device, use File Explorer to navigate to the .wadesktop file you just placed there, then tap on it to launch it.
3. You will be prompted as to a location to place the extracted files. Choose any location you wish (I personally find it helpful to have a Themes folder set up in advance).
4. Once the files are extracted, open WisBar Advance Desktop (if it's not open already), tap and hold on the screen, then tap Change Theme.
5. Now tap Menu > Scan for Themes. When the scanning process is complete, the theme you just installed should appear on the list.
6. Tap the theme, then tap Menu. Choose the appropriate menu option for setting as portrait or landscape. Please note that theme files are usually designed for one orientation or the other.
7. Tap Apply and you're done.
This should get you set up.
Thank you, uncle...
I´ll try.
