WM6-TNT5.0 with HTC Home: how to customize HTC Home Today screen?

I'm using O2 MiniS and just up ROM yesterday to TNT5.0. It's good but...
Please, anyone who could tell me how to customize HTC Home screen. I wanna add some my apps, reduce size of the watch, add more icon on trayicon, add tabs...etc. I search for "customize HTC home" but have no post!
Thanks a lot!

NOOB , ever heard of:

Actually, I wanna add tabs, add more apps (>9) in launcher...etc of HTC Home, not only change skin or appearance! But seems there's no way, it's fixed!
Above solution is good to change theme, but not the thing I want!
Anyway, thanks all!

The apps that make it look like that are:
Phonealarm with a mod of Macguffin's DoNotTouch skin
found here http://www.pocketmax.net/smf/index.php?topic=4662.0
PS. There have been some changes in donottouch skin that are not published too.
The 2nd plugin is Pocketbreeze 5.3.0.6
have quite a few 3rd party plugins incorporated to pocketbreeze (weather panel, info reader, spb backup plus).
Unfortunately the mods that i did to get the feel is not published. So if you're interested i'll pass you the files, all i need is your email.
The 3rd is Batterystatus.
Of which have modified the xml to get this look and feel.
The top bar consists of:
mytools 1.5.1 - use this for battery uptime and connection uptime (when available). Have got some custom icons for the ok/close soft buttons.
indibar 2.7.0 - for the RAM and Battery meters, as well as the cascading start menu.
The bottom bar consists of Saman's WM5NewMenu.
i think that about covers it.

Hi Techscum,
I am really impressed to see your today screen but I am using Samsung I780. I read all your posts but can't make out which applications will be suitable for I780. Will it be possible for you to suggest some thing on that?

Hi, nice work, but maybe you should indicates it's a trial, and indicates the original link : http://www.rivia.net/Gentimer_PPC.aspx
But your theme is great for diamond

Thx For Share. But I Found Out There Are Few Problems.
1. Cannot Adjust The Time.
2. Cannot Set The Main Clock To Different Time Zone.
3. Startup Page Cannot Be Set To The One That I Want From Setting.

I think It's system Time... so just change it in Programs->System Clock
That would be nice
Maybe it because of the Trial version?
What is the limitations of the Trial ... anyone?

Hi, AVLev
Could you make a VGA version? Because if you want said this is Diamond Style, I think VGA support is a must

mmm
fab!!.. works fab on my Touch ( UK orange rom ) thanks !!

This is trial, but never expire . (Of couse you can pay and register it)
You connot change time, because I rename standard clock.exe to system_clock.exe and rename gentimer.exe to clock.exe. It is nessery for run gentimer from main page. Please run Programs->System Clock to adjust time.

is it possible to use this without a clock installed on the home page?
(i have applied NisseDILLIGAF's Noclock cab as i hate the manilla clock)
thanks

I really like your HTC look alike Phone-skin and HTC Calculator, but I am sorry that I must admit that I am not so happy about this one...
It is just too fancy... I would love to see just a HTC look alike skin for the current alarm page...Basically with the same options and same software behind it...
This is more a replacement alarm/clock application then a HTC skin for a default WM6.1 application, and it does not really give me the HTC feel.. Sorry.

Hi AVLev,
Thanks for this. Looks great!
Any chance you can update it with the latest version of Gentimer (v2.13). The latest version is much faster to load and navigate.
Thanks and keep up the good work.

Uninstall and try "Large VGA HTC Home" developed by pj07 on Universal mobile section. it works perfect on Uni!
Look

yes it does work fine but i just cant use the customizer to edit the icons, background

[THE][14-10-09][v2.0] Color TF3D

I must say I'm a fan of TF3D. But personally, the mono-color scheme is not much fun to look at. So, I searched the web for some free icons and made this. I thought I'd share it with the xda community. My first contribution.
(Don't bother with the poll, I've made my decision already.)
Instructions:
1. Install cab (recommended that previous versions of my theme be uninstalled first)
2. Disable and re-enable TF3D to see the changes. To see changes in the dialer, you'll need to soft-reset.
3. Sprint users, please install my "Color TF3D-Sprint Patch.cab" on top of whichever one of my theme's version you chose. This will add the 2 icons for Sprint TV and Nav. Please see screenshot here.
If don't like it, just uninstall. Soft-reset. Back to normal.
Verizon users, have a look here.
Sprint users, have a look here.
Most devices have black as the default font color for the clock on the Home tab. If yours does not, check here.
FAQ - please read before asking any questions I'll be ignoring all queries covered in the FAQ.
Tip: for improved performance, use CFC Compression. Info here.
Release history
I'd gladly take suggestions and requests. Let me know if you have icons you would like me to use or if you don't like a particular change I made. Together, we can make the perfect theme!
Color TF3D 1.5.cab - Normal
Color TF3D 1.5-no top.cab - Transparent top curtain
Color TF3D 1.5-no bottom.cab - Transparent bottom curtain
Color TF3D 1.5-no top and bottom.cab - Transparent top and bottom curtains (This is the one used in the screenshots)
Color TF3D-Sprint Patch.cab - install this on top of one of the above cabs for icons for Sprint TV and Nav
For those of you who have switched to the official WinMo 6.5 ROM released by HTC or if you have Manila v2.1 with the weather clock, please see here for version 2.0.
Users of Manila 2.0 or 2.1 without the weather clock should stick with version 1.5 of my theme.
AT&T Tilt 2 users should also stick with version 1.5 of my theme. I've not skinned the AT&T tab icon. If you want me to skin it, one of you will have to send me the corresponding manila files...
Further development on this has halted. But I'll still continue to try to support it. Here for details.
Like my work? Please donate! Any amount appreciated! Thanks for supporting!

thx!!!great!
i just wnat to know...
i presume you used cfc-gui to change icons, but i cant find the tab icons in my manla files...ive just the manila icon\off...

Yes, I used cfc-gui. The section under "manila\icon off" is "manila\icon preview". That's what you're looking for. If you don't see it, you probably didn't extract your full set of manila files.

Very nice!
Great job, but i've got the Vario5 and tmobile made their own icons and I'm not sure if this works on my version, did you test it?

The 64x64 icons in the "manila/icon off" section are the ones to amend for the tab selection bar.

Only tested on my unlocked UK Touch Pro2. So, don't know if it'll work for you. Suggest you to backup your manila files and test it. This way, you can always revert back if anything goes wrong.

Thx a lot! Great work!

Could you make a cab file? thx

Sure, cab added. Please see 1st post.

I'd really like to try this out as it looks great but I'm a bit concerned because I would have no idea which Manila files to back up incase I wanted to change back. Will the cab now allow me to uninstall from the remove programs option and do I still need to turn of tf3d before installing it?
Sorry for all the questions

The tab isnt transparent, and the bottom is white below the tabs. help?

Going to be honest. I've not actually tried to uninstall the cab. But since the manila files are in ROM, a soft reset should restore them if you do uninstall the cab.
To answer your question on which manila files to backup, you can find the list in the xml file if you "unzip" the cab. Alternatively and probably easier would be to be just back up all of them.

I probably wasn't being clear in the 1st post, so I apologize for any misunderstandings. The slider, clock, taskbar, and 1% battery driver are not included in my cab. You can get them if they suit your preference. The links to those threads are in the 1st post. I take no credit for them. 1st post is now amended to be more clear in this subject.
Btw, yes, they are indeed awesome...

Sorry, going to contradict myself here. I just tried to uninstall the cab. It works perfectly. No need to worry about screwing anything up if you install it and don't like it.

Looks great, thanks very much.

I've actually encountered the problem you described when I tried to install my cab onto my Diamond (which runs a ported version of TF3D2). The strange thing was, the problem mysteriously went away after a few minutes. All I can say is, try to disable and then enable TF3D. Or soft reset. If that doesn't work, try to install the cab again. Maybe the script accidently skipped a file…
I'm quite certain the cab works. Tested on my own TP2 purchased from UK and my friend's TP2 purchased from HK.

Wow !
Everything works, since I am a total noob, that's a bit fo a surpise to me !
Thanks everyone !
