Using sliding panels NRG Topbar on 6.5 NRG. I want to customize a couple of things if someone could help me that would be great...

1) Carrier text
I have tmobile and it says "Get More..." for the carrier at the top of the clock. Can I change this to custom text?
2) I'd like to change the panels to a blue color instead of transparent; I've seen screenshots with this.
3) I'd like to change the font of the clock.

I've done 1 and 2 before on 6.1 but I did not back it up and I can't remember how I did it... I think it used MortScript but I'm not sure....

I did my best to search the forums but I couldn't find a solution to my problem! Sorry if this is a repeat!

Thanks.

Hey...all of it looks DO-ABLE, not necessarily Easy, but DO-ABLE.

For #1, I believe that the Carrier text is located in a res.dll or other dll file...so that is a toughie, but I dont know how to change the carrier names exactly. If you really want to, go into the CPR file and COMMENT OUT (using <-- and -->) the part that deals with the text for the carrier name...then replace it with a new piece of XML, practcally the EXACT SAME except, name it a different ID (like Text2) or something. Then go into the registry (HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Chome/CClock) and add a string there...make its name the same as in the CPR, and make its Value TMOBILE....THAT SHOULD WORK, but I am no expert at that, so MAKE SURE TO BACKUP!!!!

For #2 TO make the panels Blue, you are going to have to get BronzeRes.dll from the Windows Directory, open it with PE Explorer or similar DLL resource editing tool. Then replace the resource that is the transparent panel background with one of your liking...there may be premade ones out there already, I am not sure...but searching may help (although you have already searched)...

For #3 I think..EMPHASIS ON I THINK... you need to take your own font that you want, put it along with the other fonts (in the Windows Directory)...somehow you have to sign it for the Device (that I don't know) so that it will recognize its existance, then you have to edit the CPR file...so that where it has the TEXT data for the TIME, you edit the name of the Font Class corresponding to your font, and how it is registered to the phone....


For all of these solutions, i am pretty sure they SHOULD work, but then again, i am no expert with this phone (yet)...but good luck...remember to modify with SAFETY (backup backup backup!!!)

everything that your asking can be done right from your .cpr. lots of people have asked the same thing be for, it's just the matter of typing just the right words into the search engine. try looking at this.

as for the carrier name, that's a little odd that it won't display the right one. maybe try "connection setup" to see if that helps.

yes, always do this. i have backups for every rom that comes out cause not every rom is the same. even if it's by the same cooker.
