I spent 3 days trying to find out how to unlock an orange htc tytn II but did not succeed. Is it possible to unlock it freely?
Can we upgrade a wm6 to wm6.1 or 7 without unlocking the phone?
I really wish to get this software : wm7

I would like to thank you for this.

Questions:

1.) Which today theme are you using, inlcuding the bottom buttons?
2.) My fonts do not look like this, and letters run off the blue square in the middle?
3.) Maybe I am just stupid, but How do I get the weather panel to show up?

Thanks again for all of your hard work

1. Here is my today theme. Copy .tsk file to \My Documents Folder
The bottom buttons is from Wisbar Advanced 3 . You can get program here (http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/)
2. The Font i 've uploaded
3. First, you must install WeatherPanel program. Find some where, i m not sure;).
I'm using UltimateLaunch to show up all programs on today screens. Here is some images

i love the pocket cm contact skin
but is very slow when i want to open a contact
when i use the other skins kike dream or white everything going fast
i dont know why there is this delay when i touch any button with the littlerain WM7.
my phone is touch cruise:confused::confused:

This theme uses many images so that a little slow at the first time start. Try to minimize the contact program and start again. it should be better.

I'm having the same issue. I only have the battery and memory bars selected but it puts them on top of each other instead of side by side. Any ideas?

mr.jcarter
19th May 2008, 04:24 PM
I noticed the issue with the bars is due to Resco also putting a little "Settings" button to the left of the bars, how do you get rid of it?

I only use two meters. It puts them on one line, then all of a sudden a second later it puts them on different lines. I am using Ultimate Launch with this, but I don't think that would have anything to do with this though, would it?

Would you please kindly edit the digital clock from 12hrs format to 24hrs format?

Thx!

Sonfire
19th May 2008, 06:22 PM
Theres two things I can not seem to get working.


1. How do you use Ultimate launch so there are no tabs, just 1 single entity that you flip with finger.

2. they have the Resco today and RLtoday in 1 screen on ultimatelaunch, how do you do that "I can only figure out how to make a tab with 1 today plugin in it.

Thanks for the Help. Checked the Postings, no answers on this thread!

Awesome Skin!

Awesome Skin!

Open UltimateLaucherConfig.exe

1. If you dont like tabs, you can hide them by click on "headers tab ", edit "Height" to 0

2. Open UltimateLaucherConfig.exe; tap New --> tap "Combination of tabs". At this tab, you can insert how many plugins as you want.

Good luck!

How do you get to that view in the weatherpanel?

You have to press a button that shows a list of every options. Then press details.

I think there is not a shortcut from the front... :(

Hello LittleRain:

I'm very satisfied with the PocketCM theme that you provided, however I do have a request.

I was wondering if the highlighted area on the attached picture be just left to the default background and not the white square. Also the top line where it says "Contact Information:", is there a way to get rid of that as well.

Thanks in Advance

20th May 2008, 09:25 AM
For those who are having the Resco plugin go on separate lines, I figured out what was wrong. If you are using Ultimate Launch, go into the settings and the display tab. By default there is a 2 pixel left/right margin, and this is causing the plugin to go onto 2 separate lines. Change it to 0 and problem fixed! Thanks for this awesome theme!

Same goes for the PCM skin (huge in size). Any thoughts on using a more robust/compressed format?

I changed around the PocketCM theme, all credit still goes to creator.

I made the received SMS's black box instead of bright green, and made the unread have a gray box around the message.

The quality of the SS is horrible, looks much better on device obviously. There is no black box in the read messages...its just pixelated.

Would anyone here be interested in creating a comm manger (6 button style) and HTC Action Screen that are in-line with the rest of the theme? I absolutely love this way my tilt is looking now, but black comm manager and gray action screen kind of detract form the experience, lol.

Kudos to all involved for bringing yet another breath of fresh air to an OS which sorely needs it.

Hey rvashi, I can help you with the first 2:

1. Go into UL config> 'headers' tab: change the "height" to 0.
2. Go into UL config> 'display' tab: change "fixed plugin-height" to 267, (be sure to mark the check box)

Reinstall Spb MS and try again, if still gives you the same message, then at least one of your files is not properly encypted (probably you would like to rencrypt your new files as the 1st option).

Looks like you don't have the fonts installed. The xxx's will go away after a soft reset or a missed call.

Very beautiful theme.

However I'm having one problem that in some folders, for example settings, the icons that are assigned to each function is not corretc. For example, for the function "Soft Key" the icon that appear is a phone. The function "Phone" shows the Today icon.

How can reassign the icons to each function??

Thanks

I am using the S.M.S 2.1 WM7 Theme. But I noticed that the font size for the carrier name on each tab are different. For example, on the Clock screen (first to the left) the font is a little big so text is pushed down. Then on the Calendar tab the font is perfect. Then on the Programs tab the font size is perfect but on the Weather tab its too big again. Does anyone know which .dat files I need to edit to correct this?

@wwtfyo I got the keyboard to work. Just select it under PCM Keyboard Themes. Be sure you copied the files to the right folder. Don't copy the entire folder with the files in it, just move the files to the already existing folder of PCM.

Ok the Clock is working now, ty colossus. Now only the bars and the blue separator lines.

I think he needs to share his theme.

colossus_r
3rd June 2008, 09:23 AM

You have to download this file and transfer the extracted files to spb directory.

http://www.4shared.com/file/49311094/95cf8a77/MS21_WM7_littlerain.html

Soft reset and you will be ok.

once again fantastic job.

This isn't at all clear...5 groups of files are shown, but does this assume you own all these applications, and if so, what are they? SPB Mobile shell is obvious, of course. When I copy these files over the mobile shell directory the system sometimes hangs. When it doesn't, things just look like the normal mobile shell anyway.

Is this VGA compatible? Perhaps that is it? Do I still need to install the font files found on a later message? (I did so) Does anything require configuring after installation? Might this be incompatible with using FlexMail?

It would be really nice if the top post were updated, with all files needed and a full list of all required apps to get this working.



Edit - And to be clear. I'm asking just for which apps are needed, not the actual apps themselves. Configuration notes of said apps would be nice as well as it doesn't sound like it will work without some tweaking.

How do I get it to show up as a whole page with the buttons as circles? (I love that!) Also I can't get the skin for the contacts to work. I have put the folder in the programs pocketcm folder but it will not show up as an option. Do I need to take specific files out of the folder and only put them in certain places? Which files?

this is just great, except for the clock on "now" screen!
i´d like to have the one mentioned on the pics in first post! the one that looks like a kind of blue diamond clock!
and i couldn´t get it to work...
ok ok, i know that there is an update, but when i install the update, the clock works, but the mru-tab suddenly is a whether-tab with some kind of black-colored diamond-background!!!

i just want it to stay mru!!!

please can someone help me?

Hope words are not too bigs....but it's important ;)

I like your skin MS2.1, I've made some changes, add icon for message voice, change some text size on the home page and make 3 pages contacts and try to change background weather but I'm blocked :

I'd like to change the current backround so I repaint the Separator2.bmp from qa_bkg_now.dat and ql_bkg_now.dat but I've still this :

Sorry. I forget upload needed font.

Unzip Fonts.zip, copy all fonts to \Windows\Fonts. Reset your PPC. ;)

Been chasing this all afternoon. My WM6.1 doesn't have a .ttf file association in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. This prevents copying the fonts to my device. Could anyone post the .ttf registry entries?

Thanks

You have to go to the ActivSync Tools --> Advanced Tools --> Edit File Concersion Settings.. and uncheck "Convert files...." Copy the fonts to windows files\fonts and then recheck "Convert files...

I was frustrated at first as well, but I'll give you the steps as I understand them:

The files provided are just themes for their respective programs. You have to have the programs, (PocketCM, SPB Mobile Shell, rltoday, and PCMkeyboard) installed before you copy over the folders that littlerain provided links for.

So,

1. Download and install SPB Mobile Shell (shareware) from their website
2. Downlaod and install PocketCM (freeware)
3. Download and install PCMkeyboard (freeware)
4. Download and install rltoday (freeware)
5. Download and install weather application (I didn't install this one so I'm not familliar here)

6. Copy Pocketcm to \Program Files\pocketcm\ (just copy the zip file, no need to unzip it)
7. Copy Pocketkyboard to \Program Files\PCMKeyboard\
8. Copy rlToday:\Program Files\rlToday\Skin
9. Finally Spb Mobile Shell to \Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell\

And lastly, soft reset then activate the today plugins for rlToday.

Note: the correct sized fonts are on page 2 of this thread
Thanks littlerain, this is that one theme that I was searching for!


Hope this helps people that are confused, just like I was.

Hi, I love this skin. I use PocketCM and it looks very good but I find that my contacts, especially favorites, "disappear" from the list for some reason. They are still under the old" Windows contact list though.

Quote from the first post:

How to install:
Very Simple: Unzip and copy to foder of each program
1.Pocketcm: \Program Files\pocketcm\
2.Pocketkyboard: \Program Files\PCMKeyboard\
3.rlToday:\Program Files\rlToday\Skin
4.Spb Mobile Shell: \Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell\
5.Weather Panel: + Dash Icon Folder: copy to MarsWare\Weatherpanel\Icons\ ; Shine WP II Folder : copy to MarsWare\Weatherpanel\Themes\

17 pages of people have managed to install this...maybe it's you who has the problem.

OH and to the OP...bloody awesome work! The update is simply stunning!

who gave you permission to complain?
you can be gentle and ask nicely for instructions on how to install this.
littlerain was generous enough to create this theme so instead of thanking him you're complaining?

SOrry But what he say is right. If you put something on a topic. There must be some instructions how to install it.

When you buy a phone you also get instructions how to use it "RIGHT?"

So add an normal instruction for the people who don't know how to use your "Nice"Theme instead to tell them to figure it out by them selves.

it's important to put instructions, but not to act as if the theme creator owes you anything. he didn't charge for this theme. it is free. asking nicely about installation instructions will be well received i'm sure.

Hey Littlerain .. Just love your theme. Is there anyway that you could change the speed dial to show 3x3 on three pages. That way I can have bigger icons. Want to put this on my mother-laws phone but here eyes are not the best.

Hi again toniolol

in your first image you have 5 buttons on the bottom. The first shows the clock,the second the calender, the third the programms, the forth the weather and the last the contacts. From the first moment I installed this theme I can get the weather in the 4 button. Instead of the weather it shows me again the same with the 3 button but with a clock on it. How can I change it and put the weather there? I can see my weather panel only in the today screen.

Thanks for your help guys

littlerain, this theme is beautiful.
Excellent work, I found these skins very easy to install.

I do have one request... Is it possible to post just the clock segment of the rltoday skin. I use other programs for voicemail, email, text alerts... so the bottom bar including the separator don't really work for me.
The blue box containing the date and time is VERY NICE though and I would love to have just it. I tried to mess around with it a little myself but to no avail.

Thanks for all your hard work. Don't let some of these other posts jade you. Thanks to all other contributors also.

In France it's the standard, I've made nothing on it in my cab, I think it's a rule enable by your regional settings.

Usually when i open a zip file there is a cab inside then just download from there. Can anyone please tell me how to install this on my touch pretty plz Your time would be much appreciated !

For SPB Mobile Shell you need only this zip file:

a) Extract the zip file
b) Copy the files to your installation directory for SPB Mobile Shell (for example: Programs/SPB Mobile Shell)
c) SoftReset

Hint: Backup the files in the SPB Mobile Shell directory before copy the "new" files !

Hey,

I really liked the pocketCM theme so I am just using that. Though when I text the character count has a delay. Sometimes it will stay 160/160 and then when I send the text it will tell me like 122/160, but this is useless after I have already sent the text!

Is anyone else experiencing this problem or is it just my device?

I'm using a Sprint HTC Mogul with original ROM (updated for GPS and RevA). I'm using pocketCM 0.21 because the 0.23 release had the text progress bar and it really bothered me. Could this be the source of the problem? I tried installing 0.23 but stilled had the same problem.

Third party applications include:
-S2U2 1.05
-S2V 0.38
-HTC Home 2.1
-HTC Home customizer
-PocketCM 0.21

anyone know how to just use the background color for spb? I don't like how the theme changes the entire icon layout thus removing the exit icon which was showing by default but removed with new theme.i can figure out how to get and select different icons later on but I want to get this custom to my liking. advice is greatly appreciated!

Is it possible to use the 1.2 diamond weather graphics panels, especially the samuri grouping.

If so what layour should be used.

Thanks again fro all of your work and time

I haven't the game menu! I have just 8 menu (organizer, internet, tools ecc.) and not 9!! what can I do?

With a simililar spb shell theme when I turn on the pda I watch the third page (with 9 menu) and not the first, can I set it on your theme??

in the first page the font (for example % of battery or number of sms/email/dial) is bigger than the other page? Is it normal?

Sorry...

I modified a bit this to add up percentage of battery power left and free program memory...

Hi,
in the bellow pic there is in the middle screenshot after the home screen one screen with calander I think. Which one is it? How do you switch between home and calander view? And how do you get weather to showup?

Thanks.

Well, after a few hours of tweaking and configuring, i've finally got it. Its a very nice theme and my favorite so far. I must say that to all the people that gave littlerain a hard time, this isnt the easiest theme to install but at the same time im no pro either. I was able to find and install all the said programs just by reading other posts. Please be kind to the cooks people.
