Change the "Clock icon" in WinMo 6.5 panels? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

Hey, I've been using 6.5 for some time now and I think it looks real nice and sleek, but one thing keep annoying the hell out of me; the clock icon. It's just really ugly and sets down the overall impression of the today screen.
So my question is, is it able to be changed to a better looking clock icon?
Thanks in advance

The icons for the panels are in bronzeres.dll, I use PE Explorer to change the images, go to view -> resources

Well does anyone have any nice looking images that they have used to replace it with?

yeah, could someone post a dll file with a better looking clock?

BIG CLOCK? (not HTC Home)

i know it's not appropriate to request such thing here, but i've been searching for something like this a while... a simple app showing the clock on the today screen without more crappy add-ons like HTC Home. Anyone... please?
Great idea
ill second this, wood be great to have it next to my bed as an alarm clock, a nice full screen simple digital clock
it wouldnt even need to worry about power usage because it would be on charge
i'm not referring to full screen. Just a Htc Home like clock but without tabs and fluffy useless content

Check out battery status. It is highly customizable. I am using pieces of the theme from the following link:

not analog but a big digital clock. I'm testing Battery Status right now and it looks awesome but i want to disable all the other functions. Thanks for the help offered
good luck finding this, i've searched high and low and there is no plug in with just a nice big clock. tried battery status yesterday but it also has a bunch of stuff that comes along.
give this a shot http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-dr-puttingham-samsung-time.html
my device is VGA and that plug-in is too small for me
you can use rltoday.. if u want just a digital or analog clock.. it doesnt come with all the battery status stuff..
you can create your own skin or you can go to their forum and search for the desired skin...
edit: found these two skins

I'm of the same idea, I've made a simple skin that show a digital clock "identical" to the one of the HTC Home.
Sorry, but for now I can't post the code and a screenshot, you have to wait the next week...
Ah... I have a VGA screen, so my skin is perfect for you
i did the same thing with RLToday. I have the digital clock and the msg notifications, nothing else.
Anyone know if there is a font that looks like the Alien Round found in HTCHome Customizer?

[THE]Science-Fiction Theme

My first theme, a science fiction theme based on the X3 interface and some simple sci-fi elements. The images say it all, so, screenshots attached. Used background attached as well. Install using Diamond TF3D Config 0.6.7 or higher.
It's not perfect yet, the clock needs some work for now.
Very Nice Job!!!!
I'm always looking for new Themes........
Thanks
Mike
Thats awesome. Keep em coming
Can you please post the manilla file with the clock ? or tell me wich one in the .zip file is... thank you.

Wow!
Keep up the good work!
Don't really like the clock, but I love the program-tab!
How's the image-quality, because the screenshot are a bit blurry?!
Maybe an idea to make the big-icons (center of screen while selecting a tab) a little bigger?!
Would be great!

1bbfdc9b_manila and 4e670504_manila would be the clock files. Copy them to your Windows directory and note they work best against a darker background.

The large icons are slightly blurry, and therefore not any larger than this. I think they're almost at their max currently, so much larger wouldn't have been possible anyway. You won't notice the blur in action, though, due to the beautiful sharp screen of the Diamond.
hi tha_rami
it's nice! what's wrong with the clock btw?
The transparency on the clock gives a bit of an odd effect when the numbers change. Sadly, I've found no way to change that animation and thus had no choice but to either leave it at that or make some lame background for the clock (an idea I detested), so this is the best possible given the possibilities available to me.
Let's conclude that I'm happy with how it turned out and searching for inspiration for another new, unique theme.
Thank you very much
hi
very beautiful! posoono not only have the files without all the theme?

Status icons iPhone look?

Hi. This is my first post here. Got my HD for about 2 weeks ago and love it, but one thing that bothers me is the status icons: Battery, signal wlan etc.
Now, on a device that looks as stylish and sleek like the HD, it's a shame to have those icons that looks like 1979....
I have the S2U2 app installed and really like the icons that are visible on the unlock screen. Is it possible to get these (or equal) to be on the top bar all the time?
Can i somehow skin this myself, and how? Where are those icons represented on the device?
I never tried it, but I think you can skin the taskbar with this software:
http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products/pocketpc/WisBarAdvance/
Thank you for your answer. But isn't there already something out ther that is a bit more easy? I have seen other HD screens here with changed icons. How did you guys do?
(BTW, i dpn't know i "skinning" is the correct term. I want these icons to be visible INSTEAD of the old ugly ones. I don't want something running "on top" of the default icons. I'm looking for a REPLACEMENT.)
i believe you're looking for something like this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437307
Thank you mouki_9.
I will try this.
I'd like the top bar from the S2U2 settings - but I can't find any way to do that...
Any ideas?

Possible to change just clock appearance?

Hi there,
since all the great tweakers seem to take shelter in this forum, I'd like to post my concern right here.
Actually I come from a german Leo-Forum, but there are so many links to the xda-guys, that I'm sure I'm better off here.
It's about the clock of the native homescreen. I'd like it to be darker, meaning that the sheets should be of a very dark grey for instance. Would it be possible to make a cab, that changes only the clock, leaving everything else as it is? I'm not much of an it-expert, so please excuse me, if this question is kinda silly.
Thanks so far!
I second this. Would like to add other clock options (analogue/digital/formfactor)

I hate the standard HTC flip-style clock and I found nice ones for my HTC Touch HD, but not for the HTC HD2 (Leo).
So, I support this too!

Black and White Metal 2.5 2013

See if you like it. It is White Metal 2.5 2013 for a 6.5 build. Tell me what you think.
Also including a different contact icon if you want it. Not necessarry but a different style in case you do not like the contact tab with the human outline.
I am running mighty rom Windows 6.5 with Manila 2.5.2013
I was not happy with the centering of the Calendar date on the tray icon-so I included a cab with the fix.
Facebook Tab. You must already have the tab in order to use this. I installed it from Meltwaters and then alterred his manila for tabs
lubbad85, you are my hero! I have been looking for this everywhere. I don't know why but for some reason I've liked this style of slider ever since I've seen it on another carrier's phone.
I installed it asap and I like how it works! It works like a charm, I love it. Great job lubbad85, you rock! The only thing I would probably do is just better the screen icons when you change to a different tab on the slider. Those stock white ones will do but I would just see if I could replace them with any other better icons. Just my personal opinion. Other than that, you created a beautiful slider!
Quick question, I'm running C0okie's Home Tab. How does that extra notification bar appear? (The one on top of the actual sider)

In the options for cookies home tab you can put the extra notification bar. I think under miscelaneous The bar is a bit redundant though.
Glad you like the slider. Give me an example of what kind of slider you really want. If you give me a direction I can build one. Manila is very forgiving. If you screw it up you have only to delete the manila file that you put into windows and the phone's ROM will build it back the way it was before the new manila was used.

I've been looking around in C0okie's Home Tab for the past 40 minutes and I believe I've gone through the whole editor twice and I still cannot find the setting which enables the extra notification bar. I feel like a noob or just looking for something that isn't there. I'm running v1.8.5.

I got it! Thank, yet again! As far as the slider goes, it works like a charm! I really don't have any other suggestions for it as of right now. Maybe later as time goes by and I think of something. But if you implement any improvements or make any changes to it please post it up, I will gladly test it out. Thank again!
lubbad85, I found a small little defect that you might consider. When I slide to a desired tab on my touch flo, I find that the tab icon I chose has a blurry icon. It looks like as if there is another lighter icon behind the primary icon. It's just a little annoying and tends to cross my eyes after a while. lol. Check it out in the attachment to understand what I'm talking about.
Nice work bro! Would you consider adding icons for Facebook and Call History tabs please?

My ROMs won't be updated before August if someone doesn't find some critical bugs
This slider really fits the "old" Sense 2.5 skin, however it has got some images that could be a bit more polished... Ach, and some icons could be a little re-sized, because they aren't this same size. Anyway overall the experience is great! So keep up this wonderful work, first time that I like something that isn't made by ShowTime7.
right.

Hi there, I downloaded and installed the theme, but I dont know how to change the theme, i hate to ask but how exactly do I apply the theme? I tried Star->Settings->Today, but the theme is not on the list of available themes.
Thanks for your patience, I've only had the phone for a week or so.

You're going to run the .cab file from your storage card and install it onto your device when prompted to. Immediately after the slider is installed it is going to ask you to restart so the changes can take effect. You hit "yes" or "ok" (Not sure which option it gives you) Then, once the device restarts and turns on, the slider will appear and should be already installed automatically. You shouldn't have to do any other additional setting changes after you restart so the slider takes effect.
Hmm I installed all 3 cabs and it just told me "white metal 2.5 2013.cab was successfully installed on your device" (same thing with the other 2) but it didn't prompt me if I wanted to restart the device.
Any ideas why? this blue at&t theme is ok but this B&W Metal theme looks amazing.
Thanks

You just want the sense tab-in other words you already installed the other files neccessary for the tab? So just the tab icons?
If so here is the cab for just the tab sense icons in white to match the set. I cannot test it since I have not installed the control files for this tab.
