Hi,
thanks, but I look for nevertheless another than ThemeGenCE.
MfG

If you are after a theme to be created I run a website which makes custom themes for you for free. check out www.wm6themes.com
cool site, I snagged about 15 themes in 5 minutes!
Thanks! Kudos..
the microsoft theme generator is crap, it limits you to the basics. You create a theme to personalise your device to make it reflect you.
I want to do exactly that. I used to be able to do this with the previous windows platforms. I want to create and use my own colour palette, use my own fonts and change their colour to go with the theme and I want to customise the clock. Like for example have a spawn theme with spawn icon as the clock.
Is there any thing like that available for the hd2/wm6.5.

Yeah, try again. It worked for me. There's a .cab
Mh..
Nice wotk, but animation is slow (on my e-ten x800 at least) and doesn't support vga screen.
Icons are displayed wrong.
Works for me too with Qtek S200 Windows mobile 6. iFonz seems to be very good ! Sorry if my englsih is bad because i'm french.
Theres no anamations when you hit an icon.... switch pages is extremely slow... I thought this would be like itask but more like the iphone... please make it faster and put some anamations into it. I can do this with any launcher pretty much.
got..actually before i tried dwnloading with Opera but this time i used IE and it wored..
WOW WOW WOW just installed it and ITS ROCKING
Hi fellas if you have .swf rewrite the end to cab instead of swf and you got it
Nice program, runs well on the Touch Cruise.
Thanks!!!!
Am i missing somthing? All im getting is a black background with iphone icons lke in the pic. NO i phone amamations when hitting an icon... I dont see anythng special about this thing. Again am i missing a file?
Great Start
The basics are all there and ssj5trunks deserves a lot of credit for a very good first beta.
However, I found it quite slow and I started getting memory errors within a few minutes of starting to use it. I also got a fair few program errors.
With a little more work this has great potential but I may just wait a little longer until some of the bugs are ironed out.
Great job though, please stick with it.
No bugs for me at this moment, a lot of things to customize. Verry good job for the author.
A little bit more faster and is perfect !

This is an BETA version of the project, I am doing it for my own benefit at this point, feel free to use this tool, but I offer no guarantee that it will work, or that it won't delete your original Manilla 2D settings, or that I will continue to develop/support it.
I am a MFC programmer by day, but this is my first Windows Mobile project, so go easy on the comments please
Acknowledgments
Once TF2D came out I immediately tried to install and run the Diamond TF3D Config 0.6.7 by sushilange, unfortunately it didn't work, I started to follow the thread but have come to the conclusion that it is a Diamond App and will most likely not be tailored to work with Manilla 2D
I am starting this project because I do not like my home screen too cluttered so I disable a fair amount of tabs in Manilla2D and wanted a way to do this that was simpler than hand editing xml files...
First there are many people to thank because in no way am I trying to take credit for other peoples work
Thanks to udk, noonski, vetvito, hergzilla and the rest for getting Manilla 2D out and working, I was in the forums while vetvito and noonski were finishing and releasing the first beta and despite how geeky it sounds I must say that it was a pretty exciting time
Thanks to sushilange for inspiration via his diamond TF3D config program

v0.29.235
- 2nd attmpt at fixing digital clock shift bug
Jan-30-2009
v0.28.233
- fixed digital clock shift bug
Dec-13-2008
v0.27.232
- added "Apply the settings to all fonts" button on the font dialog
- increased the color picker drop down combo box length
- updated donator list
Dec-01-2008
v0.26.230
- updated donator list
- added option to not update the TabIcons images and settings from a new skin
UPDATE Nov-29-2008
v0.25.227
- added new dialog with 1 option "Don't update Weather Tab", so you can choose if you
want to use your existing weather settings or use the new weather settings
UPDATE Nov-24-2008
Nov-24-2008
v0.24.225
- fixed background bug, only worked with "\Windows\ManilaGFX" folder, now works with
"\Windows" folder too.
- fixed some formatting on the m2dct inside of a zip file warning box
- moved some code around so you are not waiting for 5 seconds after you hit apply,
now the spinning cursor should come up immediately
UPDATE Nov-24-2008
v.0.23.223
- added a new background page that will let you specify a png image to use as the
Manila2D background. Right now there is no way to go back to the "default"
background, only restoring a theme, or applying a new theme can change your
background. This feature only supports "hh_fw_background.png" files that are
located in "\Windows" and "\Windows\MainlaGFX" which should satisfy 99% of users
but if you have issues let me know and I will read the value directly from the
HTCHomeSettings.xml file
- fonts drop down boxes are much larger now, much more easy to read
- added warning about a theme file that contains an m2dct file, hopefully this will
cut down on some confusion
- updated donator list
UPDATE Nov-11-2008
v.0.22.215
- added an internet page that allows you to set a different default internet browser
for Manila 2D version 20 (build 1.0.1820.3328)
UPDATE Nov-10-2008
v.0.21.213
- added more fonts [Messaging, interent, settings, weather] (Manila2D v20 only)
- added ability to add a folder of themes in the theme manager, this folder will
be remembered and every time you restart M2DC will look for new themes in that
folder
- updated donator list (I think)
- fixed build process (again... stupid devenv not knowing how to handle dependencies)
- uninstaller no longer applies your backed up theme
UPDATE Nov-04-2008
v0.20.207
- reverted xml file handling back to the version 13 method, the new method caused the latest
build of M2DC to not load after a theme was set through M2DC.
- updated about page with new donators
- added new font entry for the weather pag error text
- fixed a spelling error (thanks p1tater)
UPDATE Nov-02-2008
v0.19.203
- Added 2 new font items, weather tab low temperature, and weather tab forecast temperature
neither of thee will allow a color to be set, not sure why, if you figure it out please
let me know
- removed experimental WM5 support... the cab will allow installation on a WM 5 device,
but this app is being built with the WM6 SDK. The WM5 support messed up my build process
- fixed bug with version not being displayed correctly on the about page (see above reason)

Thanks.)
MY 1.0 TODO LIST
- Add support for setting the default folder to open in the file manager dialog
- Add backup/restore for the registry key [HKLM\SOftware\HTC\Manila2D]
- "Implement the possibility to choose custom icons for the launcher. That could be a drop down list of the launcher buttons, where one can choose which button, and a button to choose the path for the icon."
REASONABLE REQUESTSThese are things that have been requested that I think are reasonable, they are not at the top of my list at the moment, but they may make it there in the future
- Add support for detecting what a theme file contains... ie make m2DC smart enough to know if the theme file is only weather icons, or that the theme file does not have an analog clock, If the theme file does not contain something in the xml or contain the actual files then don't use the xml or files for that settings
- Add support for picking and choosing which parts of a theme to apply. Show a list of theme components with check boxes that the user can check and un-check the specific things that he want sot apply. (only apply digital clock form theme A, only apply background and tabs from theme B, only apply weather icons from theme C)
- add option to hide tab bar and the non active tab icons link
- add option to display theme information link
- add option for start menu customization link
- add new favorites to the internet tab link
- add option to change the date format link
- add support for changing the launcher item icon link
- add option to apply welcome screens contained in theme files
- add functionality to be able to apply a skin via a command line argument link
- add support for adding things to the operator tab link
MY WISH LISTThese are things that I want to do, but I will need to invest some significant time into research to get them working
- add option to deal with *.tsk files (maybe copy the file to the windows directory and figure out the proper way to apply the theme in code...)
- add option to extract/apply themes that exist as cab files? (extract cab file contents on the fly cabextract.org)
REQUESTSI doubt I will do any of these things (I try to give a reason as to why)
- Add an option to auto rotate the applied skin every 30 minutes or so
Reason I don't see how this really benefits anyone, maybe I will do it after everything else on this list is done, but that will probably never happen. Maybe I will add command line arguments so that you can create a mortscript or something
- change tab functionalitynew run method
Reason This uses a 3rd party program that I did not develop, and it seems pretty extreme, If a simpler method is found I will re evaluate this request
- add new tabs
Reason I have no idea how to do this, I know that they can do it for Manilla3D, and i looked into it, but right now I have no idea how to do it for Manilla2D. When someone figures this out let me know and I will see if I can put it into M2DC
- add custom cities to the weather widget
Reason right now this is possible to do by hand, my city is in the default htchomesettings.xml file already, adding the ability to connect to the internet and get information from a website will take a lot of time and effort on my part, and I think that my time would be better dedicated to the more important features of M2DC
- Add option to have more than 1 upcoming appointment on the home screen
Reason I have no idea how to do this, and I don't use the calendar on my device so I always end up hiding even the 1 appointment on the home screen.
- Allow for more rows and columns in the people tab
Reason The people tab xml is just one huge mess, it is really hard to do by hand, and just thinking about the code that I would have to write to make this work makes my head hurt. I don't use the people tab right now so I don't think I will put myself through the pain of doing this. Let me know if this is a huge request for you.
- Smart phone compatibility
ReasonI do not own a smart phone, and I have only received 1 request for this, let me know if there are more people that want this
wow great tool , thank you
first the SPB MS customizer now this..
i have tears of joy running down my face at this point
Looking forward to further development of this!

KNOWN ISSUES:
- must be installed to the device, paths are hard coded for now
- not sure how well this will run on non English roms, right now some paths are hard coded such as "\Program Files\M2DC"
- icon is fugly, needs some work (help appreciated)
- restore defaults doesn't truly restore defaults, it just restores the entire HTCHomeSettings.xml file from when you first ran this tool
- ???

u may want to talk to user/rom guru "garmin" about ur icons..or even "bluemetalaxe".. to me they got the best icons around.
YES!!!! Can get rid of some of these useless tabs.... and maybe a way of custom weather soon? Closest one is New York City... about 3hrs away.
Just a suggestion can this be registered with apptodate? Makes updating my phone so much easier
if you could make it wm standard friendly. as without being able to select a tab and then hit move up without scrolling through the list to the bottom.
but this works on windows mobile standard using my mobiler
Nice work. The ability to change what app/plugin goes into a tab would be nice if possible. I would like to use Weather Panel instead of HTC Weather and to change the Homescreen.
Wow excelent, great work!
Just a couple of requests....
Could it be possible to choose....

i havent been able to get weather since the release!
so whats ur secret?
look for the HH_409_weather_cities.xml or something named like that in the \windows directory....copy that to your computer>open the xml file with either an xml editor like xml notepad 2007(free) or notepad.edit any of the top cities and insert you city name, location, state etc...and insert your zipcode or weather code(get this from www.accuweather.com,located at the end of url).save and overwrite in windows directory,soft reset and your set.

Hopefully this app can grow to be as versatile as SSMaPa. I would like the ability to change what the calendar link points to, etc.
Great work on the first step.
cannot uncheck tab on Udk Polaris manila ROM
The tabs in UDK Polaris manila2D ROM cannot be unchecked. The program runs but the same config comes back again after the program exists and reload TF2D.
The same thing for 6x4 launcher....
I am doing something wrong or the ROM is locked so that it cannot be changed? Please advise.
thks
>>>Edit
I can manual edit HTCHomesettings.xml file and able to remove mail, internet, and location tabs and also copy the setting from pcarvalho 6X4 launcher. THANKS pcarvalho! I now have 6x4 launcher on UDK polaris manila2D ROM! COOL!!!
you saving many lifes now
it would be really great if functionality could be added to change where widgets link to or possibly change urls without editing xml.
so people can use custom calendars/different internet browser/install things in different locations etc ^^
Nice program though
I was missing this task manager,This is the fix for WKTASKL for wm 6.5,
In the exclusion list include Start ,Settings, Connections , Personal ,System ,.This exclusion option can be obtain by adding the "titles" in the exclusion list, and check "dont close by X butt".Thats it, give ur feedbacks.
One more fatal fix
Also put Games, Office Mobile in the exclusion list. Or take out games say solitare, or bubble from Games folder, and put it programs folder and delete Games folder.Other folder follows the steps.
Also while putting names in add list , put the correct words like Setting , Start.
This is it, I want comments guys!
i am getting problem with it..actually itz theme.when i use of wikitask..theme of wktask is grey colour..while mine mobile theme is black colour so it lookz odd

May be someone comes up with that fix, that issue still remains, but u can change the colour manually.I think till WKTASKL has new V, it cant do well.
@Premo: Buddy you are doing fabulous efforts for getting it working, thats no question. But i think WKTask will give problems with WM 6.5 as it is not design to work with it. 6.5 Interface has gone major changes and one of these is MultiColor enabled themes. Under the new themes, the taskbar changes its look depending upon the place you are in the UI. Its transparent on the Today screen, semi transparent on the start menu and opaque in apps. WKTask is not compatible with these changes, its been designed for a static taskbar. Plus the start menu changes are also quiet big for it. It needs a new version before it can work properly.

pie control here & into v100beta
I continue experimenting with Co0kie Home Tab 2.0.0. Mainly CHTtweaks allow to change textures in .png format using the file explorer and give the option to easily change the text font for all CHT elements independently. Aditionally CHTtweaks uses great tool JMLMenuSense to make a setting menu.
CHTtweaks brings major changes as the original files of CHT.2.0.0 lua & mode9 are modified. I am also providing the open source where the changes are marked (--CHTtweaks) in the files as explanation. Feel free to use, modify, edit, mirror, sale, delete or whatever you want to do with this, but always with fun
For security also I am providing the original CHT files to restore if necessary. Just copy all files from insode the zip to windows folder, acept overwrite & restart Sense.
The files with changes are the followings:
5950B2CD_manila -- Co0kieNotifyBar.lua ==> added a 3rd layout for text missed calls - sms - emails - voicemail notification, Configurable: text font, size, color, alignment, language, displayed text
5fa4d4b7_manila -- homedigitalclock.lua ==> chose png texture for numbers, colon & background; switch for transparent flipclock-tabs; switch for get out of the midle flipclock line.
4B558519_manila -- CHT_Widgets.lua ==> selectable opacity for home clock background; added 4th layout to textclock: alarm icon only; added 3rd layout text notifications
1EC5924B_manila -- homeAnalogClock.lua ==> chose png texture for analog clock face, hourhand, minutehand & secondshand
new!2AFAFEFA_manila -- CHT_Softkeys.lua ==> chose png texture for the softkeys background; switch for transparent softkeys & softkeys background; switch to dissable the enlargement softkey icon when pressed, work done by devil-strike based on the script of rat_2665 (all credits for them please). Extended CHT menu. Hide taskbar new!
29C5E347_manila -- Co0kieEmail.lua ==> chose png texture for CHT email background independently of Email Sense Tab; change text font
7ECB5997_manila -- Co0kieMessages.lua ==> chose png texture for CHT SMS background; change text font
4956014B_manila -- CHT_Lockscreen.lua ==> chose png texture for the slider unlocker of each CHT lockscreen (Manila, Windows, Mini HD)
6A5D6A2D_manila -- Co0kieMusicPlayer.lua ==> switch transparent CHT music player background; change text font; change background
45E83959_manila -- CHT_Titlebar.lua ==> switch transparent home title bar; set color for other Sense Tab titles (excepting Music Sense Tab & Internet Sense Tab); change text font; switch page indicators to botton screen
5146EC01_manila -- Co0kieAppointments.lua, 45D3F17C_manila -- Co0kieListControl.lua & 094C0231_manila -- Co0kieAppointments.mode9==> switch transparent background for CHT appointment, horizontal alignment & change text font
3ACCF880_manila -- CHT_QuickLinks.lua==> change text font for quicklinks labels; change quiklinks frames
58B6C4C5_manila -- CHT_FreeLinks.lua==> change text font for freelinks labels; change freelinks frames
346BA8F0_manila -- Co0kieTextClock.lua==> change text font for the clock, date & alarm bar widget
6639bcc4_manila -- weatherforhome.lua==> change text font for weather info for home.
6DB6511F_manila -- CHT_Constants.lua==> dock size up to 120px
new! 285d005a_manila -- manila.lua & 3a8e04af_manila -- manila.mode9==> pie control in all sense tabs
CHTtweaks does also add some settings that use to be done in CHTEditor, now you can also do it in CHTtweaks, like disable double flip or minute flip; show seconds hand; set softkey height & menu height; set color for CHT Email text & CHT SMS text; select lockscreen style (0= Manila; 1= Windows; 2= HD Mini)
To restore default manila texture just leave the texture path in blank and restart Sense. CHTtweaks is provided without png textures because it was making so big. I have uploaded a pack CHTtweaks_PNGtextures.rar with some examples, just unpack it in the SD\CHTtweaks folder and select your favorite, delete, add new textures ... and share them with us! I havent done any of this nice graphics. I am taking graphics from NordPolCamper, MrBeO, LNando84, Santod040, [email protected], _leciel_, S-Droid, Sternas & ericv99. Thank you so much for them! Special thanks to LNando84 for all the good work and help with the setting menu.
Installation:
CHT2.0.0 needs to be installed previously.
Switch Off Sense.
uninstall any previous version, acept soft-resset.
Install CHTtweaks.v0.97.cab in device, accept soft-resset.
Install JMLMenuSense 1.60 or higher in device, only in case you allready have not installed for other widgets (v1.75 not working)
Extract CHTtweaks_PNGtextures.rar in device or SD, I use to do it in \Storage Card\CHTtweaks
Switch Sense On
Find CHTtweaks in Start Menu\Programs & CHT menu.
You can uninstall CHTtweaks.v0.97.beta.cab. If you have any problem after deinstallation use restore.CHT.original.zip, just copy the original files from inside the rar to windows folder, acept overwrite and do restart Sense.
Also you can restore independently any modified file of CHT and the rest will continue working. I mean if you like the way of changing the CHT Email background but nothing else, just restore all the files excepting 29C5E347_manila. CHTtweaks will continue working only with this feature.
NEW! ONE CLICK TO HIDE TASKBAR NEW!
Just copy the file into the zip to windows folder and accept overwrite and restart Sense
LOCKSCREEN
CHTtweaks.097.beta contains ICS lockscreen for CHT2.0. This lockscreen substitute CHT Windows lockscreen. It is made by 3 .png files: ICSlockscreen.png (256x256) for the slider; ICSlockscreen2.png (256x256) for the slider pressed; ICSlockscreenBG.png (512x512) for the lockscreen background. Of course you can change this graphics as usual in CHTtweaks, just go to lockscreen menu and select textures from internal memory or SD (to get default graphic just leave it blank. You can also select the application to launch by unlocking in left slide. As most of the CHTtweaks you can use this ICS lockscreen independently of CHTtweaks.
The others lockscreens (manila & HDmini style) can also be customized with CHttweaks.

TEXT FONTS
APPOINTMENTS
Tip: Go to HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\CHT.Tweaks.TransparentHomeAgenda and set the opacity value for the agenda from 1 to 100 (50, 33, etc)
SOFTKEYS
Just a few clicks and you can change easily the softkeys. Also I added the option to disable the softkeys icon enlarge when pressed, accordingly to the work done here by devil-strike based on the script of rat_2665
CHTtweaks includes the option to have transparent softkeys background in one click. All this changes in softkeys needs re-start Sense. Also includes the file restore.CHT.original.rar in case you want to uninstall this cab, just copy the files inside the rar into \windows and restart sense.
Special thanks to lnando84 for the tests and the work in the setting menu and all Dream Team for the nice graphics.
Tip: I am uploading a few transparent softkeys icons very useful to play a bit with this softkeys backgrounds textures. Enjoy!
Tons of Softkey bars (Docks) uploaded in this post and followings. Thankyou very much ezzie (& Nando)
EMAIL & SMS
in this post and followings ezzie has uploaded a lot of graphics for SMS & Email ready to use wth CHTtweaks. Thanks a lot!
HOMECLOCK
Thanks to the amazing work of Dunc001 in SimClock a lot of new possibilties are comming to the world of CHTwidgets. CHTtweaks add the feature to easily change the texture of some elements of the homeclock using png files.
Just open CHTtweaks menu setting (CHTquicklink / CHTfreelink >> miscellaneous) go to home clock setting and use the file explorer to find your favourite texture for the home analog clock, the numbers of the home flipclock and the colon (two dots). Also select the font text for the weather info & text clock. You can always restore the defeult textures just deleting the texture path and restarting sense
EDIT: With so many changes of home analog clock may be useful this set of clock hands good for any light-dark clockface
Thanks to Lnando84 you can find here (and followings posts) lots of clocks in png format, ready to use with CHTtweaks!
A few clocks, softkeys, Lockscreens, etc to enjoy with CHTtweaks. Unzip in SD card and select it with CHTtweaks:

STILL BETA STAGE, FEEDBACK AND SUGESTIONS IS MUCH APRECIATED
Some adapted themes: (here more adapted themes by cocopuf)

Here is the kitchen. In the folder \workspace\lua there are all the files decompiled and commented, the modified code is marked with --CHTtweaks where is changed from the original. It also has been modified the mode9 file 094C0231_manila, it was necessary for the appointments transparency. You can run it without devMode (_Deploy_to_device_normal_mode.bat). All credits & thanks to Co0kie Monster.
Also uploaded the source and kitchen of most of my widgets including CHTtweaks:
Poy_fullKitchen.zip - 49.19 MB
HOW IT WORKS?
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
CHTtweaks 0.93.beta introduces small modifications in the lua files of Co0kie Home Tab 2.0.0 which makes that some properties of a few elements (homeclock, lockscreen unlocker, email background, etc) can be set in the registry HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\CHT.Tweaks.XXXX. This changes are compatible with any other widget or standar CHT skin: if there is no CHTtweak registry setting the default texture will be used.
Attaching the source of all modified files in which has been included the marks --CHTtweak for easy indentification. As example the code below say to CHT to use the png file for the home analog clock -defined previously by CHTtweaks setting menu, but if it does not exist it will use the default manila file
--#####Set texture for home analog clock by CHT Tweaks
SetTextureHomeAnalogClock= function ()
poyTweaks_HomeAnalogClock_texture_path = GetCHTSettingString("Tweaks.HomeAnalogTexture", "\\windows\\htc\\Home\\Assets\\Images\\Home\\VGA\\AnalogClock_bg.qtc")
analogclock:SetTexture(poyTweaks_HomeAnalogClock_texture_path)
end
SetTextureHomeAnalogClock ()
_application.Store:GetValueChangedEvent(Lifetime_Permanent, "CHT.Tweaks.HomeAnalogTexture"):connect(SetTextureHomeAnalogClock)

CHTtweaks Setting Menu configure the registry, then this configuration is applied to CHT
And never forget Co0kie's words specially where is said " ... The source code is freely available. You may modify it as you wish, but I do have a request:
If you're going to post a CHT modification publicly, post only the modified files and not the whole thing, so that the installation procedure is:
1) Install the main CHT cab first.
2) Install your modification.
Alternatively, if you want to use any part of this source code in your own independent manila project, you are free to do so, but please do post a mention that you're using this code and what parts.
That's the only thing I ask. I hope everyone will honour it. Thanks, here's the source, have fun with it."
Thanks again Co0kieMonster
CHTtweaks 1.8.5
(available beta 2)
At first BIG THANKS TO CO0KIE MASTER its amazing how he has converted a static home tab into a flexible and very customizable home tab. Every time I look a bit into the source files I get impressed what Co0kie has done. Not only the CHT itself, but also the source is free and available for use and enjoyment.
With this development I try to bring some of the advantages of CHTweaks to CHT1.8.5's friends. So I have started with the analog and flip clock (basic CHTwidget) and CHTtweaks can change the elements of the analog clock -face & hands- using textures in PNG format stored in any folder of device or SD. In the standard flip clock can be changed the numbers (always in PNG format) and add 2 dots between hours and minutes. Also clock background can be changed using textures in PNG format and set opacity from 1=transparent to 100. Aditionaly has been added some work i the Home Title Bar (transparency). Further development depends on comments and sugestions.
Installation
1. Install CHT 1.8.5 (& rest of the components)
2. Install CHTtweaks 1.8.5.betaXX.cab, softresset
3. Aditionally I recommend to install JMLMenuSense v1.60 (or higher) for access to setting menu
4. Access to configuration menu in \start menu\programs
5. Get lots of textures in PNG format here and everywhere in XDA
**DOWNLOAD HERE**
Attaching the kitchen. The source with the modified files are in folder \workspace\_lua\. Everybody is free to add features, correct bugs, edit files, delete them, change, sale, mirror, or whatever want to do with them. Use is not compulsory. CHTtweaks1.8.5 works fine in my HD2(WM6.5.x) with CHT1.8.5 installed, but if it does not work in your device I will help as much as I can.
If you want to try the kitchen*, do the changes in the lua files with notepad2 (inlcuded in tools folder) then run _Deploy_to_device_normal_mode.bat and the files will be recompiled and deployed to your device fro test. Once the changes are done, just run _Generate_files_for_cab.bat and will get the files ready for the cab in folder \cab\_files_final\
* at first the device must be synchronized with PC and run z_init.bat only once at the beginning.
CHTtweaks 1.8.5 includes Typoclock
A reduced version of Typoclock has been added as layout in standard textclock. This reduced typoclock has time, date and alarm icon, and can be configured in CHTtweaks 1.8.5 setting menu (or directly in registry HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\CHT.Tweaks.XXX). It can be changed: text font for time and date; color; text sizes; vertical position; horizontal alignment (left, center, right); hide alarm icon; alarm icon position.
To activate Typoclcok on CHT 1.8.5 install CHTtweaks, go to menu > edit home layout > select level > Advanced > show text clock > typoclock; for configuration just go to CHTtweaks setting menu (start menu\programs) > typoclock > set your favorite parameters.

Addon for CHT
Hola, looks and works very good
Great job and lot´s of work and thinking behind it. Congratulations amigo.
It works on both of my devices HD2 & HD Mini, much better than expected
For beeing a beta, I´d say it´s rather a "release candidate"
Hi Poy,
WOW !!!
What a great job amigo mio, this is really another huge step to a higher level in WM and CHT Widgets.
If all this great things continue growing at this pace we will soon see a massive immigration coming from the dark OS sides
Once again amigo, Big Thanks for sharing your amazing work
OMG OMG OMG......
I may have to leave "sick" to get home and apply this.....does tweakideation sound like a legit diesese?
Hi again Maestro,
I wondering if you have installed the Dunc"s CHT Fix40 Slots-Widgets you posted here and could you please check in your registry to see if it is shown 40 or 20, I just installed this fix but in my registry it still show 20 slot, is this right?
Thanks in advance, amigo

I really do not know what cab i have installed so many test ... but for sure is Dunc's CHT fix 40 widgets. Dunc's mod of mike2nl's CHT fix 40 widgets is not included in CHT Tweaks v0.90. Its linked to this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12016868&postcount=24
I thinks that Dunc's mod of mike2nl's CHT fix 40 widgets should be standar nowdays, it should be added to CHT2.0.1 (or eventually to CHT Service Pack 1). This fix allows 40 widgets and reserve 8 slots for BG widgets. If you don't have 40 slots in the registry just add it: HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\CHTI.AddonWidgets.Count = 40
CHT Tweaks its just a protection to avoid overwrite the file home.mode9 when themers are working on home flip clock to convert it to digital clock with 2 dots & no flip line. Now you can get this mod without touching this fixed file. Something similar happends with CHT_rat_weather_library, with CHT Tweaks I am trying to protect this valious file to be overwritten.
Thanks for your fast reply Maestro.
I understood perfectly amigo, so I going to change the value 20 to 40 in the registry and I hope when I get my 21' widget everything goes ok
I just installed the 40 fix now because I know that amazing widgets are coming soon
Thanks again Amigo.
please give me stick note (hola) widget! Thanks
you'll find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965868&page=3

Now we´re getting to one of the main questions or issues since so many addon widgets and Cookie´s kitchen have been released. We are indeed loosing our "base2 or let´s say, "common ground"....
Guess we need a "Base Definition" in order to avoid future probs with "crucial" files in order to keep ONE basic CHT version & vision. I also think it is IMPERATIVE and every mod of this kind should always post a detailled list of the included and modded files, and maybe even provide the o files in case of probs. See notes and issues when uninstalling one of these files or widgets.
I´m not sure about a Service Pack... I would rather say this requires a new release, so all that´s been done up to now should be compatible with CHT 2.0 and all that´s beeing done in the future, based on your findings and Dunc´s SK-i Theme (and the evolutions for CHT within it) as well as from other CHT Members and users. Call it maybe CHT 2.5, or CHT 3.0 because it´s not a "minor update" like a bug fix or some addons. We´re talking about fundamental changes in CHT
Maybe this could be discussed with users and devs in actual CHT thread, or even a new thread? I´m asking this, because like with the update and new release of CHT 2.0, there are quite still a lot of CHT users that prefer older version (CHT 1.8.5.1) and have decided not to change. I guess there will be also enough that might want to stick to "unchanged" 2.0 instead of having to worry that new widgets need new mods on crucial files like home.mode9, etc...
Skinning mods of image files is one thing, as well as tweaking or partially modding mode9 files for fontsize, color, etc..., but mayor changes affecting luas, or other items in mode9 should be done very carefully, especially considering the fact, that this files and changes call upon a lot of other files, and this can really screw your Sense
Interesting and unique mod to CHT. I will try this, and post comments later! Thanks for sharing...

Yes, it´s me again After a few extensive tests, I do insist that a "File List" is imperative for not having to BAN overwriting or modding files that are crucial to the system and Sense. I´ve been switching mode9´s and Luas with CHTS now, and if you do it right, there will be no issues, but you need to know the files that are changed BEFORE installing the widgets or mods, so you can back them up before damage is done. The xmls included in all widgets, AND HERE IN THE PAST THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT THAT WHERE NOT WRITTEN PROPERLY AND THUS UNUSEFULL AND DANGEROUS, have to be checked and approved, otherwise they will be no good. CHTS can help overcome these problems if used properly. CHTS can save those crucial files before install to a save profile, and then you can use any file in another profile and so switch safely back and forth. But CHTS needs to know these files before install in order to back up / save the original ones
I have been able to switch from a Profile configured with rat´s changed home.mode9 file (his weather library needed for his last widgets) to another profile using the original (well, not original since CoOkie also modified the same file for CHT - so there is an Original file, then the CHT file and now the modded CHT files for that) CHT home.mode9 file and everything went fine. But still the manila/sense versions need to bee watched, since not all mode9 are version independent
Very nice useage of JMLMenuSense!
Sadly I cannot use Manila on my phone (too slow for normal use) - But indeed very useful!
Congratulations!
GreeZ!

Guys, i have read that Dunc has made a 40 widget fix for CHT. So far i can remember about that issue... i have done this fix and others, in team work of BHS and me before x-mas and i have published this in the CHT Artworkgroup as a beta testing issue.
Dunc please tell me why you have realeased this fix before we have done our intesive tests of this release is ok.
Hi again Mike, I dont see any controversy there. We are recommending to use Dunc`s verssion for the the CHT fix 40 slots -widgets, because it also has been altered to allow the use of 7 backgrounds widgets, as impleted in Blue Sk-i theme or CHT Walls. We all recognise your work and credits have been properly granted. Dont waste your time and energy on that, we have still a lot of work to do

Hola again, Mike and Poy, yes it´s true that Mike worked on that widget fix and it´s not about beeing mentioned, but about possible issues and misunderstandings about this particular and specific fix for Dunc´s SK-i Theme and CHT in general...
"The attached zip folder contains seven background widget cabs which will install the backgrounds you see used in the screenshots. You can choose to install any number of these and after you have installed them you can easily edit them using the reg changes and new images. However to get them to appear behind everything else on screen you first need to update the home.mode9 file. You will find a cab to install the mode9 and make the necessary reg edit in the zip folder with the widget cabs. Poyensa has edited this one for me to make the first eight widget slots appear behind eveything else so I have his original background widget and my seven installed and working perfectly. As an added bonus, and because the backgrounds will use up to eight widget slots this mode9 is also modified to allow up to 40 CHT widgets to be installed (the original maximum was only 20) so you shouldn't run out of space!"
And actually it was only 10 in the original coded but 20 "targetet"
The original CHT mode9 file (7c60907d_manila) indeed allowed only 20 slots, but in the Sk-i theme, the one modded or used was not the original file from CHT, but the one Mike modded!!! and not tested/approved for release
So let´s wait for Mike´s reasons and motives for not releasing it yet.....
A few weeks back, it was agreed that there were still some issues pending to be resolved prior to a public release as you remember when rat informed us about the mode of 3a8e04af_manila
No dissapointments friends, I have edited my posts to give propper credits to mike2nl. I've really always thought that mike is the creator of the original fix. Sorry for the inconveniences that this may have caused.
