I haven't seen one yet so just wanted to share my mod of the NEO home screen clock font. Basically, I did not like the digital clock font/typeface for the home screen so I created one which looks like this:

I didn't even bother to resize the icons and the neo interface will shrink them to fit. It's kind of neat having the icons being so big and a little overflowing and bleeding off the screen.

how did you change the icon size though? I changed a few of my icons but they're still the same small size as the default neo icons.

or do I have to change all the icons for the size to change?

I still get an invalid Jpeg marker error when trying to edit like 4 of the theme files in photoshop. Does anyone know why I am getting this error?

Ok I figured out how to change the color of everything but the bottom start bar. How do I change this?

I did not change the icon sizes. The icons I downloaded are 128x128 in size. The default ones are 55x55. So the neo interface reduced my 128x128 icons to something between 128x128 and 55x55. You only have to change the size of icons that you want to change. It'll be perfectly fine to leave the inactive_state icons at a small size and only enlarge the active_state icons for an extra pop effect. The home icon (second talk bubble icon) has four states, unlike the other icons that only use two.

Hello, I just created cabs for different color themes for the Shadow, you can see how they look like in my personal site @freddyreyes.com:

Neo Blue Theme: http://freddyreyes.com/index.php?option=co...info&id=159

Neo Black Theme: http://freddyreyes.com/index.php?option=co...info&id=157

and if you want to go back the original T-Mobile Brown theme: http://freddyreyes.com/index.php?option=co...info&id=158

Those cabs also change the "application background" (what you see when you click on "start") and bar colors to match the themes.

Enjoy it.

I'm glad you liked it.

Thanks,
Freddy

The purple theme: I am actually using the default brown theme but with edited graphics by doing a color swapping change (RGB to BRG). For the color change I simply took the graphic files (as noted earlier in this thread) and changed them using IrfanView and GIMP (for those with the transparent background) then copied them back over the ones in the \windows folder on the SP.

The clock font: The clock font is actually a bitmap font, where the numbers and hh:mm separator are basically a number or the separator character on a 22x32 px or 5x14 px (I modded this to 6x15 px) transparent background respectively. On the Shadow, the files are in: \windows\CHome_clock_*_large.png.

What I did was:

in GIMP create a transparent background, large enough to type all the numbers in the size needed
using the text tool, select the desired font and size then type all the numbers (0-9) in white text (or your desired color) on the transparent background
copy/paste each number individually onto a 22x32 px transparent background and save the result as the appropriate number (e.g. number 0 as CHome_clock_0_large.png etc.)
replaced the files CHome_clock_*_large.png on the smart phone
do a soft reset...and that's it!

thankyou, i actually figured out about the icon size after I made the post.

I like the bg jmoak, be cool if it was animated.

Can someone tell me what image file is the start menu background? i thought its Chome_Start_background.jpg

every file I try its not updating on the phone.

Its should be t-mobilebasicbrown.jpg. There is a registery setting that picks what image to use. t-mobilebasicbrown.jpg is the default

I removed it because I didn't want the T-Zones crap on there. I also didnt feel like changing the icons to something else yet.
