Kewl Deal..... works on my wm6.1 rom... a little buggy, but not too bad

Would be cool if Ricky added this to the new rom

It works well... although the vista cursor is a little jumpy. I'm thinking whoever made the PNGs didn't align them properly. heh

Yea I noticed that too.

It Would Be Cool To Have It But We Need A Cool Ass 6.1 Original Cursor. Just Something Interesting Not A Circle, Just What I Dont Know But There Are Some Smart People On Here That Can Figure Something Out.

It'd be sweet to have a spinning yin-yang symbol!

I installed it and I got the tux dude. now I tried to follow the instructions on changing the cursor to vista but I didn't find the hklm/software/marshall folder. How did you change it to vista?

It's in current user/software.. The instructions were wrong

Worked like a charm, thank you

i cant get this to work at all. i install it like it says then restart and i get noting, it uses the normal loading thing when it starts back up. also i tried switching it in the reg and got nothing. even tried to uninstall and reinstall.

REALLY?
I got this to install with Organic's reg edit help. Whenever I use it on let's say My Photos to load a pic from that panel, it shows the waiting icon I selected which does rule, but when it's done loading that icon it shows the background in a little square in the center of my pic. That is where the loading icon/cursor is located. I change from one pic to the next, and there is a waiting cursor, and once again there is a square with the previous picture's center located in the middle.
I know this might not seem like a BIG deal, but these are the fine details that kill a program and it's utility in a homescreen.
PLEASE HELP!!

I dont think someone is gonna cook a rom just to replace the waiting icon/cursor, it would would be easier just to make a better looking one .

no i am cooking my own roms and i was wondering if any body knew how to change it

awesome work! i'm excited to see this. keep up the good work!
I never understood the need for a separate keypad locking application on the excalibur. Isn't it a lot easier to just hold down the End key until it locks ? beats having to scroll down to the right panel, choosing the application, then on top of that.. answering Yes or No to the "Lock keypad ?" question!!

I just want to say to you Rickwyatt Thank you for your continued work and sharing it with us. You are an inspiration to all owners. I'm becoming impatient on a new official 6.1 Rom even if there are no problems with me 1.33 brightpoint HTC WM6. It's like a new haircut, I need a change.
Sorry if this is not a plausible post for this thread but I am just thrilled how many creative minds this site has. I could mention so many but I'm sure you get my drift.

Can't have too many Locks? Seriously, I dunno. I have an auto locker with a not-too-annoying delay, keeps me out of embarrassment when I'm at the bar.
Yep! It's the holy grail! hehe

Sorry, one more thing. If you are doing it with CeleCmd, can you make a new folder for the new dll, that Celecmd loads the contents of, so that we can drop in our own hacks into the switcher? I understood just enough of the documentation to realize that CeleCmd is pretty powerful.
And if not, could you include the dark version I made in your ROM? Please?
UPDATE Don't want to make a whole 'nother post again so soon. I'm off to make a totally new background for the Cpanel bubble. Something curly/tribal, if I can get it to look good.
This is a good post, hopefully this will come out soon.
looks good. how about adding a weather panel to the homescreen?

Anyone Fix the Background4AllTabs "strip" problem

It is very annoying and I know a LOT of you have isntalled Background4AllTabs, so someone MUST have been able to fix this issue....
Any help is much appreciated
i've been searching the forums for a while now and can't seem to find a definitive answer either. again, any help would be greatly appreciated. i'm very keen to remove the current tronesque wallpaper, lol.

What problem are you referring to???
Can you please explain better?
THought everyone knew
Im sorry.. i thought everyone knew...
When you install the background4AllTabs, everything works fine, excet for the manila menues... like All Programs, stocks, Music Player etc and the rest which have the default white background to a height of only 640. The Touch HD has a height of 800 so this leaves a transparent gap of about 160px which is annoying because the programs and items are still lsited.. just no white background.. gives it a very dirty look... there are screenshots in another thread... but i dont have one to be able to post...

Thanks I was going to install it...downloaded before....but now that you told me of this problem I'm reconsidering it and probably I will wait for the final release then...
I tried to PM Nisse and Mun_rus.. who originally made it... and did not get an answer back from them. Seems like the community has beens tuck on this for a while (or it is not a priority). mun_rus got ill so cant really blame him...
Anyway, its times like these i knew a litte bit more to be able to manila edit the right file and change the height of the background...
Hopefully someone will come up with an answer... i dont think there will be a final release... I did wish that Nisse didnt advertise it for the TouchHD as it clearly has this problem.. although mind you.. it does work as advertised...
The one nisse posted here works fine on my HD:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2869354&postcount=571
So are you saying.. that :
1) you have your own background in all the tabs (meaning u have installed background4alltabs)
2) When you go to All programs in Manila... you dont get a stripe on the top...
Can you please post screenshots... i have tried everything and I know there are many of us who ahve done the same.
Just read the thread a bit better now, and I think I just misunderstood. I get full pictures on all tabs, but not sure about "all programs" etc. I don't use it anymore because of the low resolution on the pictures.
So my fears are confirmed... no one knows how... and no one cares...
Here's the shot + more info

Hi guys
I posted it already in another thread, but I think its best to put it in here:
I installed the two manila files "5c9aa261_manila" and "4a087e41_manila" (see attached in "manila files.zip") into the windows folder and then reactivated TF3D.
Then I saw that the background changed well in all tabs. It seemed everything was all right til I saw this (picture attached). In the all programs list and the share portfoilo tab I see instead of a all white backgroud a dark bar in the upper half of the screen showing the background installed on all tabs.
Now I wanted to know how I could solve this. Hope someone could help me.
Thanks in advance!

can you send a screenshot of the home screen?
I belive there should bee a white/black bar right under the start menu..
just to ease my mind please
Version 1 of 5c9aa261_manila:
Version 2 of 5c9aa261_manila:
so it's in the home screen to.. and the text you see, is it the operator? any way too fix that so it say somthing else?
It's not very important, cause for the home screen you can put an image 800x480 with the wallpaper option in Parameters, so you just have to choose if you want the 1st version without black strip but with the bug in "All Programs" and "Music" or the 2nd version with black stripe at the top but no bug "All Programs" and "Music"

[CAB]/[OEM][New Manila Mods]All Programs Tab 4icons[V3.3][UPDATED]

LANDSCAPE WORKING
original method taken from Showaco
Ive spent quite a bit of time working on this now so i feel i can receive some credit for all of this work
Start Menu All Programs 4 iCONS (not working on programs page)
-[CAB]
v3.2
V3.3 - ONLY FOR LATEST MANILA 2.1.x
--------
-[OEM] -(copy file into manila directory in your kitchen)
V3.2
Does this only change the "All Programs" page or does it bring back the old style
start menu and bring back the programs tab?
Would it be possible to just create a cab that changes the "All Programs" section
to the 4 icons view instead of that massive long list that exists as of this moment.
i think the start menu need to be spaced out a bit more if anyones intrested ill keep updating
it should do both, thats what ive been trying to achieve if u want just the all programs to be boxes i should be able to do that for you
The "Start Menu" just looks too close and squashed and is it me or is it padded
to much from the left.
The "All Programs" screen looks fine though.
So would it be possible to only have "All Programs" and not the "Start Menu" mate?
Edit:
Just read your post, could you do that for me please. I like the new Start Menu Rhodium has and I prefer 3 applications per
row but definetely want to change the "All Programs" bit.
Navigating through a list is just too long. I don't understand what HTC were thinking LOL
yea it is , same thing i thought but it is a working example ill do you the all programs only now should be easy enough

hey dermann..it works but the bottom is cut off a bit..maybe because of the 96dpi not sure. maybe someone who doesnt have it can try
glad it worked for ya. i don't know about the 96 dpi, i don't use that it makes everything to small for my eyes. ya someone should let everyone else know, if there having the same problem or not.

Once again my man comes through with flying colours!!
Will see how it behaves on my BJ II i-617, as you mentioned Dermann in your email, you never had any issues with it mis-behaving for you on Ejoya's Bogart 6.1 Roms, and your beloved BJ I- i-607...lol
As I am utilizing the black_bar scheme, (with grey colour theme), this should look great!
Oh well, I won a 'moral victory' in finally locating the file for D/L...lol
Unfortunately, it did not work on my device...no biggie as applied a 'alpha-dial cheat sheet'. cab which overrides the semi-ugly AT&T branded graphic on the top....
So I can either utilize the 'cheat sheet' or turn 'vanity dialing' option on...they both serve their purpose, and I have a slightly more 'reserved gui' here...lol

Wonderful...
What it takes to install? 6.5? or it could be done on 6.1
Just yesterday i was looking at the designers themes for the Diamond
and thinking... It would be wonderful if someone could port these for
the excalibur...
btw... I'm not sure about this, but judging from the screen shots i saw the time bar on those themes is in the middle of the list and I was wondering if the same thing is doable in excalibur as well...
thank you
And just one more thing to note... is it just me or that T-Mobile UK is fighting bout pixel autonomy with the clock...
Other than that i looooooove this badass design...
Looks great, besides the clashing of the time and 7:18 xD
Other than that, looking great.
really nice theme. please upload it.
just downloaded, will install later after some sleep. thank you

Rickwyatt, you said the clock was fixed , but for some reason it only displayed two numbers, and some dots last night when I tested it (11:.. instead of 11:30), I guess it was too close to the date/service providor.
