Please see second post for some new icons and a fix for the selected item bezel problem that occurred with my original set of icons.
Thanks to all for your support and positive comments. I am really surprised at how popular this little thread has become. It seems a lot of people are interested in modding their today HomePlugin with new clock fonts, icons, etc. and there are some talented folks contributing some very nice graphics on this thread. Thanks for your efforts!
The new Kaiser Home Plugin is superior to the one we've been using til now, and it is available in color here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316107. The actual number digits are still white in the Kaiser version though, but the same "colorized" digits I posted below will work fine with it.
Hello all,
I really liked the HTC Home Plugin, but its stark white clock digits didn't go well (I thought) with Custel's Black theme that I have installed. So I made some files with different colored digits to replace the stock ones. I just replaced the ones in the Windows folder of my device with the ones in the archives below. Choose the color you prefer, extract the files and make sure that you don't have the plugin selected in your Today Items before you try to replace the stock files. You can either use Explore from ActiveStink or copy them onto your memory card and then transfer to your Windows folder. I also included the original digits in case you want to go back to basic white. Enjoy!
P.S. I'm waiting for permission from Schaps to post an additional archive with the improved Vista-like icons he uses in his ROM. The original icons provided by HTC are way too plain.
Here's an example of the EBlue
Note: I attached the transparent and "spotlight" versions for the button backgrounds. Use the Transparent Bezel to fix the left and right bezel problem as reported by Binyo later in this thread. The Spotlight with icons version is based on JUVS color icons for the Kaiser version. It gives a nice "stage light" appearance to the selected icon and a darkened shadowy icon for the unselected items. You can get the complete set of icons with the spotlight or just the spotlight by itself if you already have icons you prefer (I changed JUVS house icon for example, to one I liked better. You might have done the same.). These work with the original and Kaiser version of the plugin.
Thanks to Schaps for giving me permission to distribute his very nice icons!
HTCHIcons.zip - Here is a package of Schaps' Vista-look icons with some other files that give more transparency to the HTC Home Plugin. These are to be extracted and copied to your device's Windows folder to replace the stock ones. Screenshot is no longer attached, sorry.
TranspSpotlight Clor Icons.zip - These are the new "stagelight' version. See screenshot below.
Here's what it looks like on my today screen:
Looks good, thank you.
Very nice thanks for sharing.
Missing file
Good job! Thank you.
The only problem is when I tried to go back to the original color I find that the HH_HOME_seperator.png file is missing from the HTCHbkup folder.
Can you please post that file?
Thank you for doing that
Also, is there any way to make green digits? (like the metrix)
Thanks again.
Thank you Gmgonzal
Thank you for bringing a little colour to an otherwise drab today screen.
And ofcourse thanks to Schapp's for sharing his great work.
Man, that's what I love about this Forum.

The files on my PPC are Read-Only and ROM flagged so I cannot overwrite them due to the ROM setting. Does anyone have any suggetions?

Sorry, I am assuming you already have Schaps' ROM, it is already enhanced. I made these for folks who wanted to use the HTC Home plugin with Schaps' icons no matter what ROM they used. True your clock is white, but other than changing the files at the source and recreating the ROM I don't think it can be done.
For Schaps and anyone else who is a big fan of purple, here's a set that goes well with Schaps' today image background...

Try using something besides the regular file explorer - like Total Commander or Resco Explorer - and changing the read only flag. It actually works - usually. Give it a shot. Good luck.

Just go into your region settings and change it to the 24 hour format. It will change the plugin format as well.

If you mean the background, I picked it up at this forum. Unfortunately the copy I have is only 320x240 and cuts off when in landscape mode. If I find a 320x320 version I'll send it to you.
Found one!
For anyone who liked the background *this is really getting off topic here, moderators feel free to move this thread if possible* I found one at www.wallpaper9.com that I cropped to 320x320 and modified by tinting it darker blue. I like the darker blue, but I'm including the original color too. In case anyone doesn't know this little trick: copy it to your device, then use the Pictures and Videos app to find it. Tap and hold for the context menu and select to set as today... This way you can set the transparency to 0, otherwise it gets washed out. You could also set the transparency to anything else you like of course.

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!

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!

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
Hi,
I have a O2 branded TouchFlo3D, so it is blue and white. The background image an all manila pages is fading from blue to white.
I have replaced all Luaq- and QTC-Files in my windows-directory with those from the original htc theme. That works fine, but i still got the old O2 background image. Which file do I have to replace???
Please help.
Sers,
maybe the luaq and qtc files are the animation behavor itself and the gles files are the picture informations?
Please report if it will work!
regards

Hi!
I think, we talking about that picture, what's in the background on all of the other Manila pages. Black with gray rectangles.
Is that changeable manually like the home's one?
What file is it? Anyone can help me?

PS: Sorry for my poor english!
Hi, sushilange,
could u plz upload the o2 manila files so I could compare the files with the stock ones?
I really think it should be the gles files which effect the background....

Yes I mean the background image, which is on all manila pages.
I figured out, just replacing all QTC-Files doesn't work, so i had to replace all manila-files. I think you also need a LuaQ-File for displaying the background?
I have found it.

If you'd like it, change these files in the Windows directory.
Well, you can read "Editing manila!" theme, where i posted a .qtc format specification and viewer. Then you can find corresponding files, edit them and copy back to the device.
I know, it's kinda complex, but at least it is a way.
It might be a stupid question and if so dear administrators please remove this thread. I am wondering if anyone found the names of the buttons in the command bar (the bar below) in the new winmo roms such as 23053+.
This should be winmo graphics and no manila files and thus more easily to modify, I guess.

They actually can come under different names depending on which theme you select. The easiest one to look at is prefixed with ClassicBlue, thats the MS set

Thank you for your quick response. Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough, since these weren't the icons I was looking for and the buttons in the command bar don't change when you switch themes.

I new what you meant, anyway this is all of them, 6 main ones and the rest have to be concedered as well.
I couldnt find an app so I wrote one.
This small app will give you the option to Save your current Settings or rather Mods to Manila/Sence or whatever you call it.
Im no good at graphics so I need someone to give me ideas on how to make it look better.
It will scan the windows folder for all *manila files that has a different date to the original Rom installation. It will take all these files and backup them to a specified folder. So when you flash and you had special clocks,icons,sliders, etc etc you can simply restore it instead of having to reapply all these custom items.
O yes please install on the Storage Card. Might waste too much space on the Internal memory.
I tested it and seems ok but all apps has bugs so please be nice. Leme know if any body wants the source code. Written in C# VS2008
Version 1.1
Please uninstall the old version. I changed the name to Theme Switcher so it will install into a different folder. You can just move the Backup Folder Across. Got some nice graphics and changed the wallpaper. The Config.txt file have some settings in it. Have a look.
Also Any files listed in extrafiles.txt will be backed up and restored as well so one can easily backup the current wallpaper etc
Version 1.4
Just added an Image so if you add a file by the name of "theme.jpg" in the folder where its backed up to it will show the image before you can apply it
Im sorry I re Uploaded the Cab File forgot to include the txt files.
If the Application Icon didnt show in the start menu its been fixed as well. Please show me some screen shots on a diamond
Version 1.5
Rebuild Cab file
- Icon Shows correctly
- All files included
- Added option to Exit without refreshing TF3D
Version 1.6
- Small Graphical changes
- Added following entries to extrafiles.txt which should backup the taskbar etc as well:

Grumps, great job I love this app. Simple and works great.
I will be using it, not only as a theme saver, but also as a theme changer.
I just tried it to switch themes and it worked great.
I haven't used it much yet, so I don't have much feedback.
The only thing that I have come across that needs fixing is that the drop down list for the restore saved theme.
It is hidden behind the restore saved theme button.
Everything else works great.
Thank you so much.
Wouldnt i be nice to save phcanover & the other dlls with icons, too?
Seems to be a great app that will save me a lot oft time,

i can do that if you can gimme a list of the files. or maybe i can create a text file and one can list all the files in there that it should include in the backup? does anybody know which files contain the wallpaper and the top and bottom bar. guess its called the taskbar. the ones thats part of the top icons and bottom buttons. then it could be a complete theme changer. i use it as that as well
Grumps, thanks for the app. I believe that I am having the same condition that Phonatic describes. I have a Rhodium with stock rom, manilla 2.1.
But that shouldn't matter, should it?
My screenshot has differences from yours, aside from the bottom bar difference between your sense and my manilla.
Mine has the top task bar and less space between the drop-down list and the "restore saved theme" button.
Also mine has nicer looking buttons.
Do I have the wrong version?
When you have more items in your drop down list, does your list stay above the button?
I still am using it. I just use my arrow down/up to make my selection.
Grumps, as a suggestion to fix the problem that I have,
would it be easier to adjust the layout?, than to change the drop down to render in front of the buttons.
Something like this.
Also, since you asked for graphic suggestions, what do you think about making all the buttons have the same look.
Another suggestion is for your startup.jpg.
Instead of your screenshot, which is very nice, how about something that displays the program name and authored-by info.
With a "tap screen to proceed" kinda instruction placed somewhere.
Here are quick mock-ups of the idea that I am trying to convey.
I'm actually using it for your app, they look good on my Rhodium, much better than this screen shot.
I used screenshots from this site to make these mock-ups. Thanks to the OPs.
If anyone minds that I used their image, please let me know and I will replace it.
Anyway, just some food for thought.
Thanks again for the great app, Tilt
This awesome and such a time saver, thank you so much! One thing is I can not delete theme i have saved, I store on storage card but it says I can not delete it is denied other than that it is exactly what I have been looking [email protected]
Thank you for this program!

When you have more items in your drop down list, does your list stay above the button?
I still am using it. I just use my arrow down/up to make my selection.

I will patiently wait for the fix. It still works as is.
By the way I like the taskbar showing on top.
Would you please do me the honor of putting this Startup.jpg on your Rhodium.
I just want you to see how it looks on the phone.
The screenshot just doesn't do it justice.
@anyone that wants to see how this looks on the phone, just right click on the image,
save as Startup.jpg and use it to replace the one in your phones Theme Saver folder.

Ihave and I am using it. Im batteling to make it look right on Windows 6.5 and 6.5.3 because of the topbar being smaller and bigger. Can you also give me one without any writing eg theme switcher and save/restore/switch and press any key. Trying to use it as a background image for the app and moving the controls to the menu items

You got a private message. Thanx for the image
What do you think of these buttons?
Here's a template that I made for you.The dimensions are exact to the current layout.
If you were to replace the current background with this, it would be functional.
Some graphics should be added, especialy to brighten the lower section.
The size of the top button looks off, I suggest either make it bigger to match
(which would look crowded with the task bar, unless you lower everything),
or I can change it into a text box or no box just text.
Do you need text added, or is the text part of the app?
Anyway, just let me know your preferences ie graphics, text, color, button style etc., and I will adapt accordingly.

This looks very nice. The reason why there is such a big gap at the bottom is that im not sure if it will all fit on a vga device. The buttons look nice. I also cant use it as is because on different device with different os's like 6.1 6.5 6.5.3 the image moves slightly up and down. so you will have to include the images with the text on it, as individual images and they have to be square cause i dont know how to program transparency as yet. Hope it would be possible. Thanx soo much for the effort so far It looks awesome

Grumps, I just read your pm. Gimme a minute. I think I have something for you.
Thanks for the info above.
As I understand it, you need buttons with text and the background seperate.
I am uploading a file for you. Please let me know how these work for you.View attachment Grumps.zip
