Windows Phone Themes - Windows Phone 7 Software Development

Yesterday i read about the new software from windowsphonehacker.com and tried it myself, it is easy to manage a theme and to create one if you have photoshop or a similar software and a little bit of creativity or an idea for a design. so i just make some of the default icons that i have on my start screen. and if anybody wants more, tell me and i will ad the theme here. for more information about the cool software look at
www.windowsphonehacker.com or at
jaxbots post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388591
i have made 16 icons for now, feel free to ask some new. just post it down and i will try to make all of them...
Artwork: by me
Pictures: defaults of the software, and my pictures used for this theme!
(just load the theme with this software from the website and deploy it to your phone, it must be unlocked. i have uploaded two files, a zip file that you can load or the another zip file that contains only the .7thm file that you can also load to the software and deploy)

here my skin

very beautiful theme ... stylish

[THEME] HTC Mario

OK so first attempt at making a manilla theme.
To preview the theme view this Youtube video:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Usfgin8pRFg
The attached zip file just contains the modified manila files from the Windows directory.
To install:
1. Close TF3D in settings
2. Copy all files to Windows directory using Total Commander
3. Reload TF3D
Please feel free to edit the theme, repackage as a Cab file or distribute but please give me credit.
I may make further changes to the theme but I am definately fed up with dicking around with those stupidly named manila files (even with Manila Editor)!
I accept no responsiblity for any problems this may cause with your phone - make sure you backup all files first.
Hope you enjoy
Paul
Very Nice!
will this work on vga devices like HTC touch pro?
Should work on VGA devices - maybe problems with the wallpaper files?
Thanks for this, it's a really neat theme. Keep up the good work!!
yeh thanks a lot it is really nice !
Theme blackstone on diamond...
It's possible to convert any backstone theme in a diamond theme??? I want a mario galaxy theme for my diamond!
I'm not 100% but I think that the manilla files should be compatible? After all it is VGA and TF3D (Perhaps someone can confirm this?) I know that the background would be different but it is in a separate folder in the zip.
Perhaps someone could backup their manila files, try replacing and report back. Sorry, I obviously don't have a VGA device.
Paul
fantastic!!!! ..but i'm looking for this theme in only on file, to use it with tf3d config.. is it possible ?
thanks !! bye
Wow ~ Very nice !! Thanks for your sharing
Any solution...?
Any solution for the porting of this theme for htc diamond/touch pro?thanks
Not what i would have on my phone but im a mario fan and this is a VERY cool theme!!!
Sooo cool!
Thanks!
returning to no original state
i've gotta say i love this theme and hope there will be much more to come but can i just ask how do i return the theme to it's original state?
i backed up all of the files i had to overwrite so i assume i just have to overwite with the originals again but i just wanted to make sure before i do anymore modding.
thanks in advance
NEED HELP!
so regarding my previous post i fixed back to the original them using the diamond config and it turned out i didn't really need to back up anything but it's better safe than sorry i guess,however now i cannot change my wallpaper on the today screen and it's really pissing me off.
the only thing that happens is that when i turn off tf3d i see a faint version of what i wanted but tf3d will not change.
can anyone help me out?

[FONT] Custom Font for TF3D and WM

Hi guys and girls,
Just thought i'd share with you my own go at creating a custom font for the Touch HD.
I was getting bored of the factory font and wanted to spice it up a lil... I tried other custom fonts that are floating about but wanted something pretty clean and crisp and not a headache to look at!!
Anyway I have provided the .cab for easy installation.
Installation Instructions:
For .cab installation, just save the cab to your device (I saved this in a folder on my memory card).
Run the cab from the folder you saved it too and during the installation it will ask where you want this to be saved... select "Device".
Once this has installed, it will then prompt you to reset your device. Do this and HEY PRESTO!
If you want to go back to your normal font, then go into the system settings then "Remove Programs" and remove the font which is listed in there, it'll then prompt to reset device... once it boots back up, all resorted back to normal fonts.
I hope you guys like this and if there are any questions then please don't hesitate to ask.
Take it easy!
Lew
P.S. I have added some screenshots of the old font, just to give you an idea of the difference etc
Seems great, I am just wondering whether the memory will be consumed more as changing the font

I've not noticed any difference to be honest, runs the same for me. I guess it's a case of try it and see what you think
Lew
Thanks for sharing but there is already a thread for custom fonts guys
I would be better to post it there
--> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471604
i got dutty's extreme 1.9b rom and the hand font that i previously downloaded wouldn't change all the fonts in the programs so can you do this font for me. it's called hand of sean.http://www.dafont.com/fr/alpha.php?lettre=h&page=5

[WAD2]WVGA Theme "White Box" *UPDATED*- English Version

Hi there ,
View attachment 202142
View attachment 202131
I made a wvga theme for WAD2.
It is a portrait theme and maybe you will notice that it is a little bit inspired by the Concept Theme of Destri.
I really wanted to make a good looking theme for wvga devices, because there arent many wvga themes.
I hope you like it.
Please give me feedback(even if you dont like it).
Installation:
1.Unzip the download file
2.Unzip the theme folder to your WAD2 Themes directory
3.Install the White Box.wadesktop file with WAD2 as you usually do
Download Link:
(Sorry, old files were damaged...)
English:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UOHJN5Z0
This looks great!
I've been waiting for a good conversion of the 'concept' theme by Destri!
Hope you will be able to make an english version soon!
I'll try this out tomorrow, atm i'm on TF3D so i'll have to go and start up wad2 again !
I hope there will be more of these types of UI, they don't copy the iPhone or make a tf3d look-a-like!
Keep up the great work!
GOOD JOB
looks really great.
and i agree with you we need a lot more themes for wvga. there is very few themes that works on wvga.
i'll check it out when you done with english virsion.
thankss
Now with the english version.
I updated the first post:
English Version is available now.
Have fun!

Thanks for the beautifull theme. Yet the .wadesktop (english) isn't working for me: it won't extract any file to either internal memory or to SD card. Although I get the message that the theme has been exported successfully.
So when scanning for new theme, wisbar doesn't find anything. Usually I don't get this error with other .wadesktop files.
Is it corrupt?
Sorry
Yes, the old files were damaged. The new one should contain the theme folder and the WAD2 file.

Well the wad file still is buggy. When I try to install it, in the folder tree view I cannot access 'program files', I have the wait cursor permanently on screen ....
When using the first version of the file, I had the same issues but one or twice i did manage to install it in the lakeridge folder ... but now no success with this latest version...
Would be great if you could look into it.
thx
Mmmh..thats strange.
I tested it and put the .rar file on my storage card, then I copied the theme folder in the WAD2 Themes directory and then I select the WAD2 file with my file explorer and with WAD2 I installed it in the theme folder and it works.
Did you do it this way?

I'm starting to think a sector of the .rar has been corrupted during download from MU. I just re-extracted all the files again and noticed the background picture .png didn't extract properly.
Will try to download again tonight from my home computer and will post back results.
Thx anyways for the support.
its very pretty
Looks nice
Does it also have the same 'animations' like I did with my wvga concept based on destri?
I dont know..
The themes similarities are for example the status-dock which appears when you press the clock area...or the font.

I have the same kind of problems.
The german version only gave a black screen, the new english version does seem to install, however the background Leaf doesn't work and the clock at the top is not one clock, but several in different sizes...
I think this has to do with the installfile, because when I try to install it i get the exact same problem as Jeromex, i cannot acces the 'program files' folder (or any other folder for that matter) and i have the waiting cursor permanently on my screen. After a while the screen automatically goes black and when i press the power button i return to the home screen. The theme is kind of half installed or something...
Very strange indeed .
I hope you are able to fix this (or even have a clue what could be wrong ), because i would love to use this theme !
I´ll start a new try to export the theme. Maybe something went wrong.
I created a new file . See first post for download . It is very small now.
The install problem still exists...
Perhaps it's a problem with my program, i'm using Wisbar Advance Desktop 2.2d.
Which version are you using?
Aaaargh...
I dont. Ive got version 2.0. Maybe it depends on the version, but i dont think so.

I've been trying other WAD2 skins to determine the source of the error.
The problem is in the *.wadesktop file. The 'natural' theme (on the lakeridge forum) doesn't work properly either (the same endless 'program files' opening).
However the Sense skin, that can be found here does work. It doesn't have a *.wadesktop installfile, only all the files in different folders, which you can copy to the lakeridge/wad2/themes folder.
Is it possible to create a version of your theme without the *.wadesktop install file?
(I know i'm asking much, but i really like your theme and would like to give it a go on my HD !)
Sorry I was away for a while now
So you just want the theme folder? What about taking the theme folder out of the .rar file? Does this work? Or what did you mean?

Being a themer I can help you, but I need more information.
What ROM are you using (or carrier if using stock), M2d version (if installed on your own), and what theme (or installation method...cab file, zip file, m2dc file).
I also need help with this
I am using NFS V.15
Bell Mobility
Have not added anything else to the phone that what was included in the ROM.
Pick any Manilla theme on this site, whether it be Cab or Zip I can't get it to work. Do i need anything?

Edit the graphic files manually,
Each time a major revision to Manilla comes out (the last one was footprints) most old themes stop working. Where everything lines up, how it's displayed, how it reacts id controlled by a file called HTChomesettings.xml. The first thing you should do after a fresh flash is find that file in your windows directory, and copy it to your SD card. That way if you corrupt it with a new theme you can back up. If that doesn't work unfortunately a hard reset is your only option.
Manila 2D version 2.0 just came out, give it time, themers will release new themes. M2DC may have to be re-written as well. If not, a theme that is made for the the newer version of Manila (NOT an old one) can be installed via cab.
If you want, post the theme you want if you have a screenshot of it (or a link to the theme itself) and I will look into making it work with 2.0.
I have attached the HTChomesettings.xml file. I had to zip it to upload directly, just unzip it and you'll have the file.

That one is very similiar to a "Titanium 6.5" theme I did a while back except with emphasis on the transparency. I'll D/L the files and get to work on it for you. Might be a theme I'd use myself from time to time as well!

That theme was made by Atoz350, not only is he an active member, he's a Vogue owner running NFSFAN's V15!!!!
If you PM Atoz350 I'm sure he'll be happy to modify his theme.

I can make a clock like that,
I'd love to remake lot's of theme's for you guys but there is a problem.
Some Themer's do not like their theme's remade if they are very unique. That theme is from Kidnamedalbert, a very talented themer who is also a moderator on this forum. It would be wrong to remake unique themes.
The one TMZ asked about is a scrabble of commonly available files. Some themers (like myself) only make partial things like clocks, icons, bars etc and make them available to everyone. The slider is from Twolf's transtab and he has let lots of guys use it in other themes.
If anyone enjoys a unique theme (Sports themes, etc) contact the original themer. I will redo tabs, icons, clocks etc as long as the original themer is someone who has let their work be shared before. I'm looking to help people, not get into trouble.
Regards,
Jason.
P.S. TMZ, I should have a theme up in a few days, If it takes me longer I'll update this thread to let you know.
so the manilla2D that comes with V15 of NFSFans ROM is 2.0?
is it really that new? there's not any themes out there for it already created and not needing of a remake?
jmitr , Thanks so much...

My 6.5 StartMenu Selection Pic

Hi all,
I just want to share something that I have created to replace the current StartMenu Selection pic since I find the default one (white glow) not much 'eye-candy' value to it. This one matches the bar in Titanium.
Simply just copy the png file over to \windows folder (Need Resco or Total fie commander to do this). May need to soft reset to apply the changes.
Just a little something for the community...hope you guys like it.
Note: I'm not sure this would work well if you are using more than 3 column icons. use at your own risk.
This is way better than the original, Thanks!
cool, can someone make a cab?
thanks ...nice and simple !
