Check this Homescreen i came up with - HTC Excalibur

took old tmobile blue homescreen did some editing and came up with this used the background from staulkor's from howard so kudos but i did edit the screens to work nicley here is a pic for some reason the one from staulkors kept showing the myfavs bubbles on screen so all i did was use the same background and edited the tmobile blue.xml to look like this first one i did so im still trying to figure out how to do this also have the black scheme to go with if anyeone is interested. what you all think??

i like it, i especially like how the carrier, time, and date are spaced out nicely. That's one thing that most homescreens lack

Um dude, this screen is old. I have had that for months. Someone else posted it a long time ago. Its called Black Dask.

really all i did was i found the one posted under black jack but for some reason myself and others the myfaves keeped turning on so all i did was edit the t-mobile blue xml and added the background from blackdash in it there where some commands where missing in the blackdash theme i downloaded like i said it came from staulker i belive none the less thanks for letting me know

i still like it lol

Hi - where to get it from? I like it very much, but here there is only a thumbnail attached, right?
Is also the calling dialog customized with these files?:
HTC_BrandingBrickImg_320x27
HTC_CallProgressBkg_320x186
HTC_WallpaperImg_320x240
I never seen a homescreen for s620 with that customized images.
So the result is e.g. grey theme, but still the default green calling dialog images.

You might like this one (I made it):

ok can still anybody publis the homescreenplease? I dont have it and cannot find it.

here it is the home screen i posted that i edited along with the blackscheme cab file to make it look like all black.
to make all black you homescreen layout needs to be at Grey Dash and your color scheme at black bars and your background image to default.
to get the all grey look color scheme and background set to default
enjoy!

thank you guys! it's nice!
do you know, how to make it that I don't have that green graphics on the calling application after I installed the new homescreen (see thumbnails)?

Thanks its great, and the green call screen can you change by jeyo personalizer whith another one

Thanks a lot, and the green screen can you change whith jeyo personalizer, to anyone

Can you make the Windows Basic layout in Grey ?

use this to change the dial pad operator from the green htc to this just install the cab and i think you'll like it just reset the device after install
save to storage
install
reset
and dial out and see
its basic but cool forgot where i found it though so kudos to whoever came up with it

Modified Icons for Kaiser Home Plugin

Hello all,
You may have seen my earlier thread with the modified color clock digits for the HTC Home Plugin. Well, I just can't leave well enough alone! This started off as JUVS color version of the Kaiser Home Plugin. I took some of the icons from JUVS version and some from Schaps. Then I made the 'unselected' ones dark and lit up the selected one with a bright spotlight. I also changed the house colors a bit and turned it to face the other side. Just didn't seem right with a blue roof . I like it better now and I hope you do too, see screenshots attached.
To install:
First install JUVS Kaiser Home Plugin, color version, see the CAB file later in this thread. Then go in and make sure the plugin is unchecked in Settings, Today, Items. Make a backup of the HH_FW*.* and HH_HOME*.* files in your Windows folder for safe keeping. Then copy the contents of the ZIP file attached to the Windows folder on your device (not the zip itself, extract the contents) replacing the same-named files. Reselect the plugin and take it for a spin. Love it? Good! Hate it? Restore the original set of icons and associated files or reinstall.
By the way, the colored clock digits I made for the original HTC plugin work perfectly here too. Copy them over the same way if you like. You can find them in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314510
And, that reminds me, I figured out the bezel issue affecting some of the icons in the files I put out for the original HTC Home Plugin. For those who were bugged by that issue I am attaching a bezel fix ZIP file that will correct the issue and leave a nice transparent icon background in keeping with the them of that set of files. You could use this fix on this Kaiser version as well and it will remove the spotlight from the selected item without affecting the colors and brightness/darkness differentiating selected and unselected. You just have to see it to see if you like it.
Is this for Hermes or Kaiser? This is posted in the Hermes WM6 forum.
Yes!
This applies for both actually, but I'm using it on a HERMES, running the Kaiser HTC Home Plugin. See the 5 tabs instead of 3? If you want it, look for JUVS version in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316107
gmgonzal, great work again! Thanks!!!
i'm trying to copy over the files in vista but i can't seem to... do i need to do this via the phone?
nevermind, stupid vista won't let you extract from an explorer view of a zip file
so the spotlight for each tab seems to show the old black/white icon when it is selected... going to try to recopy the files again.
That's because...

This is meant as a mod for the JUVS color version of the Kaiser Home Plugin. It brings the color icons that you are missing. You should install that first, then copy these icons over. I'm including the CAB file here in case others need it also...
do you know if this has the fixes included in the version posted on pg 6 of the original thread? thanks!
works well now. was wondering if you could do the spotlight with a transparent backgd instead of the gray? looks better with the default ATT them. thanks!
Here you go

I guess I could , I wanted to do that next myself, it takes more effort to clean up the graphics for that. Check back...
This is great, thanks! Removing the bevel was part of the things I wnated to change about this plugin. What I would really love to be able to do now is completely remove the useless highlight that appears over the icons when they are selected - is this possible?
edit: just to be clear from the post above ... the highlight I mean is not contained in the images, I mean the OS highlight that appears over the images themselves when selected.
Also, for me personally, it would be great to be able to change the colour of the font used - if I change the colour of the clock images, then the font stay white which looks inconsistent to my fussy brain!
Thanks for any help with the highlight thing though.
good work, works well ! thank you!
I know what you mean

That highlight pi$$es me off too, what I always wanted to do was have the icons in greyscale and then make them bright color when selected, with no highlight around them. But that highlight seems to be built into the code. As far as the text color, Zoharbl said in my previous thread that you can change the text color for each Today screen item with a program called Today Agenda, but I haven't tried it to see if it works on the text on the top of the HTC Plugin. Here's a link if you want to try it:

interesting idea

no more blue on the Kaiser DIaler

I didn't particularly care for the blue on the Kaiser dialer, so, I changed it. Figured one or two of you all might like what i did. Sorry if some think this is a useless thread creation. Hope some enjoy. Simply copy the attached four files to your windows directory on your phone. Soft reset and voila!, no more blue.... be sure and back up the files on your phone if you want to go back to blue.
J~
Note: The png files are "hidden" files... you may have to "show hidden files" on your computer in order to have them show up. I didn't mess with the attributes as I didn't want to screw up the dialer. Will attach screen shot in next post.
screenshots
Here are screen shots of the blue-less dialer..
and, you need the two "other" files attached to this post... sorry, missed these two.
Thanks man
How dare you waste my bandwidth with garbage like th...no wait...it's really cool - I hate that blue!
Cheers man
Smiffy.
great
This is really great, I hate that blue screen..
Thanks
Colour gradient
You da man. The blue just does not go with JJ Black.
Now as your next assignment, can you make the new gray screen have the same kind of diffused colour gradient as the original blue one rather than just being flat grey?
In case I'm not explaining myself properly, I mean that the original blue screen was lighter in the middle of the screen and gradually got darker towards the edges. Then your creation would be just perfect.
Thanks a million.
can't copy
I can't copy the files to the windows folder on my phone.. how do I do that?
Use gsfinder (or do it from activesync--->explore like i did works fine but you need to reset your phone afterwards
Smiffy.
BTW, I like the grey just as it is - the getting darker at the edges thing made the box look "smaller" and manky
Anyway, I've got what i want here so ta

Pretty Touch Dialer

I took Bennec83's today screen and turned it into a pretty dialer for my phone. I really just dont like the dark dialer. Anyway, you have to copy the files in the zip into your windows directory then soft reset the phone. NOTE: YOU WILL BE STUCK WITH THIS DIALER UNLESS YOU BACK UP YOUR FILES FIRST. I DO NOT KNOW IF REINSTALLING THE TOUCH DIALER OVER THIS ONE WILL FIX IT.
enjoy!
PS. THIS DOES NOT WORK IN LANDSCAPE MODE. I JUST DONT HAVE TIME TO DO ALL OF THOSE BUTTONS AS WELL.... but, who uses their phone in landscape?
Theme is from originally from Trinity and has been slightly tweaked by Pawel062 (great job by the way!). It's probably my favorite look for the phone.
following Pawel062's advice will get you the correct blue colors as he suggest below.
actually that theme is from the trinity rom UDK. and u should have more blue bars. thats a problem u get after going from say windows default to this theme. go to a black theme like htc default then back and ull have the blue bars. the screenshows of that theme are made from my phone and my own cooked rom so they really are from my theme but that aint important. nice dialer by the way. will try it out later!
the number 1 button is missing from the zip file..
Oh you will love this ! I did the same thing as you did ! I created my own dialer for touch , but later on i found out there is a much easier way to create such a dialer. Look at here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1415605&postcount=17
and look at my files, you will understand what i mean
By the way , nice job
@adch: The 1 button is in the zip file it just has "hidden" attibutes. I re-uploaded the file withOUT these attributes. Should make for finding it to be easier.
@hma4: nice work on those dialers! I really just got tired of the stock one. What did you find that made it easier to do? I spent quite a while making each individual button on the one I did. Probalby took me three hours to get them all right.

I don't want to spoil it for you , just look at my files you will know
You can find my psd files too , now it take me less than 5 min to make a new dialer
just look at here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321060 don't look at my fist post , cause i used the same technique to make the first dialer, just go to page 2 to find my psd files and the second dialer that i made, i.e this dialer http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...5&postcount=17
how about a comm mananger, pin pad, media player skin, audio manager skin, pocket cm skin, and streaming media skin like this dialer. would then make cabs and we can have a great blue iu instead of black touch/kaiser
NICE... i see what you did. do you stil get feedback when you press the buttons? this will save me a LOT of time... fantastic work!
The Comm manager is actually setup quite the same as the dialer. It wouldn't be al that hard especialy if hma4's method works for this as well. I've never messed with the other skins though. When I had my phone completely "Coordinated," i was using a zombinexus today screen with zombinexus dialer and the nice finger based contact manager by tene' all with the same background.. made for a very nice, well rounded feeling phone.

well for pressed buttons you have to make them individually so i just used the original pressed buttons, they are kinda silver ish , but it's still all good just try the dialer skin , you will see
and yes you can do the same thing for com manager too ! although i didn't touch mine cause I've flashed a new rom which is not touch style anymore

Another CHome theme, this time WM7 based

As promised here's what I was able to come up with for a WM7 look theme, for our beloved Sliding Panels
If you want this look, install the .cab below. If you don't like it, uninstall the cab. Simple as that.
Any ideas for improvement are, of course, welcome!
p.s. The cab should prompt you to reboot after it installs. Please reboot to see the changes.
p.s.s Cab updated to include the prettier time icon shown in the screenshots.
Uploaded variations to the defaut cpanels. A light blue and a purple version. Install using the .cabs below and your panels will change colors after a reboot
CAB updated for better handling of appointments with a lot of text.

All I can say is wow what a beautiful look for the sliding panels. I got to this thread from your post in a thread in the Vox forum. Please make a Landscape/Portraite switching version for the Vox.
Roland
Wow, I like it. I hope you can make this portrait as well
.......................nice
I really like the sides, very very clean and sharp, I would use if they were clear panels.
also..
cant get my clock to look like yours, its a generic white clock.
I have red X for Myfaves icon-I dont know what happened but it is not there when I removed WM7 setting either- damn
my task bar looks like it always has not like yours
maybe ill reload it.
Sharp looking, it's even a hair better than some of what I've seen of WM7, in the drop shadows. Think it will find a way into Ricky's v.2x?
Oh sorry. Didn't realize not everybody has my custom clock icon in the windows directory. DOH! I will update the cab to include that .png in a few minutes.
I COULD make the panels clear. I was thinking of making them a little more "airy" and having a bolder backdrop effect, to simulate the effect of the panel gliding over the background.
Didnt have enough room to upload the centered cabs in the main post, so here they are. These will change the clock panel slightly, to center the operator name and the wifi networks, on the screen. Enjoy.

Please do a version with clear panels and on with the blue panels that works on multi orientation phones like the Vox and Wings.

How to uninstall?
Uninstall the cab ?
I really like this .cab. It looks great on my phone. Thanks for your time.
The only thing I dont like is the clock face looks blurry on my phone. Do you know wherr I can find a better pic?
Again. Thanks for posting this..
I updated the cab in the first post to install the time icon from the screenshots. Please redownload and reinstall Thanks.
Sweet...thanks
is the background wallpaper available?
Sure... why not
Couldn't attach it directly as it's bigger than 20k, so I zipped it.
ack...shadow or this....ACK!!!!!
ARRRRRRRRRRGGHHHH ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
oh wait. do u know of any memory loss on this theme? cuz my regular sliding panels, i get noticeable memory loss. like when i reboot, i get like 20mb of free memory right, but maybe few hours later, 15mb free. and it would go down more during 2 or 3 days then i have to reboot to get it back up.
what u think? any1?
This is CHome with a different look... it's not really a theme. It's just Chome with a different look. So whatever "problems" you had with Chome, you'll have with this look as well. I reboot my phone at least once a day, you don't ?! And who cares if you go down to 15 megs, as long as you're not down to like 1-2.. you're fine.

somewhere in that thread there is a post that lists the registry settings to add the color of your choice
actually it was on another thread! here you go

hope it helps!
thats only for the dialer (phone).. he wants for everything.. .. EVERY highlight/click possible on the phone that comes out green to another color
Does anyone know how to change all the highlights in the menus, messaging etc from green to another colour?
The best way is to edit the mainla files for your touchFLO
You can see how to do this here i have some of mine in red
Just need to finish it off, to see what i have done so far have a look on page 16
thats going to be a pain.. .. even if we can get that to work.. what about all the other parts that are from WinMo and not TouchFlo?
There must be a generic setting for the highlight colour. My Orbit 2 highlights everything in grey.
It's possible.... nobody is able to create a cab that change highlight from green to red? I saw in a forum... no one likes green!
yea.. could someone make a basic cab.. leaving everything the way it is but every green there is into red or blue or any other color we want?..
I thought you could change it with HD Tweak 0.5.4?
Thats only for the dialer not everything.
i vote for a soft purple color!!
Any thing as long as its not disco green!
