I am working on a Dark Knight Theme for my Touch Pro. Still developing it so open to suggestions. Some of the icons are just place holders until I decide what to do with them. If you like it watch for updates and suggest improvements. Landscape menu coming.

1. Disable touch flo to disable-go to Settings select today, select items/ and uncheck touch flo
2. Unzip the files on your desktop computer and Drag the unzipped folder of files you want to copy from your desktop to your active sync windows mobile device center
3 Open the program "total commander" (it is a free program) to move all manila files into the Windows folder. like this: Highlight all of the files with the Total Commander program and press the stylus down on the highlighted files until you see the drop down menu. select "copy/move"
4. Next slect Tree-and then double click on the "windows" folder
select copy or selct move
5. choose to overwrite the files if asked
6. restart touch flo.
Manila files do not have to be removed prior. The Manila files are amazing in function. If you delete them accidentally-they are burned into the rom so when the phone is restarted they will come back. Also if you have have the program Diamond tf3d configuration you can restore your computer to default.
i always use total commander to copy my originals. It is tedious, but I like to hang onto them.
worked perfectly .... good lookin homie... the theme is real nice in every way esp. with the details...

Also the file to remove the carrier logo from the homescreen is 443d5315
I included it in the zip, but if you want your carrier displayed then do not load that manila file
I will post my edited files here. You can try to install them with total commander. Always disable touch flo first. and remember...if you don't like it just delete the files and restart the phone. The original files will automatically be replaced. That is the beauty of Manila!

I am starting with Dutty Explorer, based on GSFinder+, a very good replacement to default File Explorer (even with extensions like Spb Plus and HouMing File Explore Extension), plus latest version of gsgetfile.dll compatible with WM6.
We have Resco Explorer but not Freeware. Total Commander CE is good, but not the interface.

SQPC is a program (MULTI-PURPOSE TOP MENU BAR) that as old as my age.....
But, flexible that you can alter it anyway you like, the main reason why I had it kept as personally I love that one tap finish actions too much, like copy, paste, input selector, soft-keyboard pop up.........
Goodness:-
1. SWAPPABLE TOP BAR with any Length / Programmable / Executable Icon you like,
2. Clipboard 10 history too easy to use ( very very good for my study use),
3. Clock and Calendar on the screen is plug-ins,
4. left side program shortcuts,
5. any back ground images, automatic rotate selectable,
6. single tap actions for any programs / files....
7. Less than 300 KB in file size........
Weakness:-
1. Too many functions for juniors, ( for me, just a junior user, I had explored its 50% of features only.... there are more advance feartures like to call out parameters......)
2. UI is not too fancy~~~
I would like to share the .ini file of it so everyone can give it a try.
PLEASE BE SURE THAT YOU HAD THE SQPC.rar.zip changed to SQPC.rar before unzip.

Hey fellas.
I am sure it's been discussed before and my searches to find something fruitful have been met with limited success:
I am looking for a way (if possible) to skin my comm manager. I have the 6 Button lateral one from Custel's V1.1 and not the 8 or 10 button manager.
Any idea's?
You should find one in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316107
I'm using the HTC Kaiser Comm Manager Fixed.
I see the comm managers but I am trying to find a way to skin my current one. Is there a way to editthe skin on my device? Where are the skins for the comm manager kept at on the device?
All of the graphics for the Comm manager exist in windows\
If you find those files and edit/replace them, you can change the whole way comm manager works.
Problem is, every button is its own image and each has 3+ states (on, off, disabled, or other options). On the 10 button comm manager, that means there are 80+ files to edit.
Thanks Dishe.
Looks like I have a lot of cutting & pasting...
Update:
For anyone looking, on my Alltel PPC6800 I found the files to edit in the \windows dir. The backgrounds are the P_BG & L_BG (portrait & landscape). The status icons are labeled as Status_Off & Status_On.

What someone should do (I'd do it if I had the time!) is create a photoshop .psd file with all of these graphics assembled as slices. Then we can change the background color, etc. and export them as individual files without having to manually edit each one.
In the mean time, the long way is the only way...

i just got done getting all the files on to my card... and now on my computer.. should i make a PSD or just zip it and then people can do w/e they would like?
i have all the PNG files in the windows dir.
I am trying to do what you are but I posted a thread about the access rights of the files for being able to replace them... are you not running into the same problem?
It wouldnt let me modify them at first but once I copied them to my computer, clicked on properties and removed the read-only, all was well. After amendment, they copied over the original on my device with no problems...
Oh wow I will give that a shot... thank you!
I am not sure how that would work though, seeing that the files on the device would still be read-only and shouldn't be allowed to copy over. When I changed the settings in TC it didn't save them either...
Nvm I figured it out! Thx

Honestly, I'm planning on replacing them on the ROM-level, and flashing a new custom rom with my new files.

dc13, getting the files are not a big deal... I have a decomposed ROM image on my computer with all the files that go inside it, so I didn't even need to look on the PPC. I just viewed all files by thumbnail, and grabbed the 80+ files that looked like they belong to the comm manager. BTW, not every .png is for the CM. Some of them can be HTC Home, or the Dialer, etc...
I would have put them up if people were actually having a hard time getting them. The problem is changing them in a uniform fashion!
For example, if you're familiar with photoshop, and you want to change the gradient background to be, say, red and black instead of grey and black, you'll need to create a full sized gradient background that starts from the bottom of the screen and goes to the top (just like the current background image which starts at the bottom as a darker color and ends as a lighter gray on the top), and then make sure somehow that every icon has the appropriate part of the background appearing behind it in the png. This is very time-consuming to do to 80 files.
However, if you had the time and knowledge of Photoshop and ImageReady slices, you could create ONE .psd file that contained all the .pngs arranged in their proper places. Then, change the background of this larger picture, and do whatever you need to do with the icons (which would have to be arranged as layers), then you click to save it, you can have it automatically split it into all the slices needed as individual .png files.
Once this is set up, skinning the comm manager will take a matter of minutes. The problem is that this is probably 2-4 hours worth of work to set up, and I personally don't have the time to dedicate to it right now, especially since its not a paying gig.
I put together a quick guide to creating a Today, Slide2Unlock, Startup, Dialer and Commanager theme. It's in the Hacking & Modifying section of the forum...

It's not that difficult to create a commanager skin, but it does take time to make it look good.
I currently have skinned my commager. I am using the commanager that poorlyduck uses in his theme package but mine has a new vista look.

You wouldn't possibly want to share that skin would you, looks great and would go good with my wisbar theme.
Included a semi transparent slider and 15 Tabs with active Iphone Calendar tab from Dman. Thanks to Nisse for the colored comm tab.
Just copy files to active sync
disable touch flo
Use Total Commander to put files in Windows folder
Restart touch flo.
If you do not want 15 Tabs go into the manila 269XXXX file and remove them.
Enjoy

Download Total Commander from this link.
Download his theme
Drop them into the Windows Directory.
Here is a free, open source, wallpaper changer. The screenshots explain what the program can do.
Note: If a phone call is in progress, the wallpaper is not changed (because it takes a number of seconds to change it).
Download. Simply copy it on your Windows Mobile 6 device and run it. (Works on my Polaris.)
Details
Source code
Works great, thank you very much.
I'll try it on my Samsung Omnia If I get it right, this app will finally let me set pictures that are smaller/bigger than my sreen with resizing them to the screen size?
THANKs
.
Awesome!! does it work for wm5? .. dont say 6 only
It should work on Windows Mobile 5 (I haven't tried the latest version), but you first have to install .Net Compact Framework 2 from Microsoft: here.
Windows 6.5 Wallpaper
A good place to get wallpapers is FFFFound.com
Here is the wallpaper that I'm using
http://ffffound.com/image/1833eeacd07acf07502260ed70c5be62af6f9185
Cool...good job!
Cool works great.
It would be awesome if it had a "silent" mode without gui and the wallpaper given by parameters for scripting use.
i.e.
wallperizermob.exe -silent -changeto "/Wallpapers/mywalpaper.jpg"
I know it´s open source but I´m not able to code/compile this feature
Version 1.4.4 works on Windows Mobile 6.5. (Or any other OS where the system's wallpaper files were marked as read-only.)
See the first post.

That is nice, and I'm loving your app! It was quite slow at changing wallpaper at first, but I unchecked all fades/normalizes/sosoes and now it does change pretty fast. Any chance you could add:
a "random picture" setting (not to have it change in alphatbetical order, that is);
shorter change intervals (like 15 mins and 5 mins);
"Load at phone startup" option (I know I can place a shortcut in the windows/startup folder, but I think this is way cooler and can easily be undone!);
And maybe even cab the exe up and get a custom icon?
So far it's the best automatic wallpaper changer for 6.5 Titanium interface!
EDIT: as you can see from my screenshots, looks like we have a couple of glitches... in today screen, bottombar gets funky (looks like it replicates upper taskbar, don't think it should...) and in start menu background remains the one it was there at boot (it changes only after a soft-reset). Think you can sort that out?

I didn't add those settings because the user would have to start the phone too often to see the wallpaper changing. I guess some people might do that just to see a new picture. Also note that this would consume more battery. I'll add these too.

The programming framework doesn't have a way to do that. It could be done but I don't know how much work that would involve... and the development of the program is frozen.

I didn't make a cab because I like my programs on the SD card, being able to run without being installed, so that no matter how many times I hard-reset the device, I will still have the programs ready to run (I don't have to install any program ever again).

The wallpaper pictures are shorter on purpose (and so the OS tiles them vertically). Normally, the today bars are opaque and stretching pictures on the entire screen area would cover a significant part of the pictures; this doesn't matter on a desktop computer, but a PDA's screen is too small (relative to the bars). For now this will remain unchanged.
teorouge said:

Click to expand...

I did that on purpose (but it should not display any kind of picture, or the skin's default picture, as it happens in WM 6.1). On WM 6.1, the today menu doesn't cover the entire screen and when it's opened, if it were to display the same picture as the screen, it would look as if the menu doesn't end anywhere. That's a weird feeling. We'll see how WM 7 will display it's today menu.
Version 1.4.5 is up.
In the "Various" tab there is a check-box to use a random picture.
The background picture of the start menu is changed on my WM 6.1, but only if TouchFlo is not running (I don't know why TouchFlo is not using it).
I have a problem.. not with our program, but with one that we e been trying to fix with roryB on a different thread:
the idea is that the wallpaper would change baed onthe regitry of htc home or manila weather panel and use e riginal weather graphics. there are 40 files in all and they are png's located in windows. we have been able to get mortscrip to change the reg but not the wallpaper.
It has do do the folowing:
1. watch the regitry for changes to the weather update
(the registry updates when you go to the weather panel and it auto updates)
2. based on the updated registry change the wallpaper to HH_WEATHER_##.png
3. refresh the wallpaper on the today screen.
it would be fine if the program copied the image and saved it n a different format such as jpg or gif; howver due to the large filecount t can not have the all 40 weather graphics in a separate folder or have duplicates. that would cost too much space.
RoryB is uing manila 1.5 (update 23) I am uing the mega manila which requres the media package to be able to set the today walpaper... however can be set via the file explorer or any other program for that matter. it does not allow to use the walpaper from the tsk.
my question is: what exactly does your program do tochange the wallpaper?
does it copy the file and rename it?
what actually sets the walpaper and refreshes it?
how can we replicate thi process and make it work?
If you could please let me know via pm or email? please.
Thank you so much, very appreciated!

You can look at the source code, in file "HaraWork \ SourceCode_VS \ Wallperizer \ Wallperizer \ MainForm.cs", the "void SetNativeWallpaper" method.
There are lots of steps and they have to be followed exactly, or else either Windows Today or Manila do not show the wallpaper. Just as an example, Manila refuses to show the wallpaper if the "HKCU \ Software \ Microsoft \ Today \ Wall" registry key is not set with whatever text.
By the way, I don't think PNGs are supported by the OS. You must copy the wallpaper in the "Windows" directory as BMP or JPEG (GIF works too). Note that the file name is specific, you can't use anything you want; "tdywater_[screen width]_[screen height]" is the name. The file name is created in the "string GetWallpaperFileName" method.
(Be sure to remove the read-only attribute of the "tdywater" / "stwater" files before you try to overwrite them.)

Make sure you download the latest version (1.4.5).
Click on the "Wallpaper information" button and see "Loaded pictures". If it says "0" then the program failed to either load the pictures or failed to set any of them as wallpaper (if this happens, they are cleared from the internal queue).
(You could manually set a wallpaper in order to be sure it works on your PDA.)
Version 1.4.7
* Added command line parameters.
* Check the "Portrait and landscape" check-box (from the "Various" tab) in order for the wallpaper to be set for both screen formats (= portrait and landscape). Note that this requires twice the processing time every time the wallpaper is changed.

2 option for select app
1. choose from list (only select .exe file)
2. manual input (any file with full path eg. \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ActiveSync.lnk , but keep in mind you need start by "\")
fix the problem about update icon (i hope )
v0.21 16-5-09
fix bug on Add/Remove Page

Nice, but you can add second line with some application description
where to download please?
I'd like to try it, where can I download it??
No download link

sorry, forgot to upload the file
pls check 1st post
it is working on wqvga, confirmed. But a suggestion would be that it can load .lnk too, not just .exe because activesync for example needs to call /remote as an additional parameter to repllog.exe to start in window and not just as a process
EDIT: until then everybody who wants to use activesync in claunch just go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CLaunch\Page that activesync is supposed to be\ and edit ACTIONURL with this string ':MSSYNCAPP' with no quotes
EDIT2: bug report: it seems that it doesn't refresh icons after the first choice. For example i had resco explorer on page1 and activesync on page2 but i decided to switch places for them and now resco has activesync icon and activesync resco's. That wouldn't be weird if i didn't manually chose new icons for each page but they just stay the same. Only after i edited registry and on page1 as an icon put App2 and vice versa it switched them but that shouldn't be like that so I am searching for the problem a little further. If chris doesn't do it first, ofc
LAST EDIT, i promise here are 6 fixed scripts. They have a delay when changing icon, but at least they work now
guess i lied, another edit, scripts now refresh themselves, no delay
Nice app... This was the exact launcher I was looking for.
I have an elfin (qvga) with dsixda's latest 6.5 beta rom and so far its working perfectly (I only tried to add apps and assign icons to them)
the only thing I noticed so far is that if you install it in your storage card you are not able to add any apps to it later (you get an error msg with a countdown button, don't remember the msg now).
