CHT Tweaks v0.94 BETA

Only for Co0kie Home Tab 2.0.0

CHANGE FONT TEXT DIRECTLY TO CHT.2.0.0
USE PNG FILES DIRECTLY TO CHT.2.0.0

I continue experimenting with Co0kie Home Tab 2.0.0. Mainly CHTtweaks allow to change textures in .png format using the file explorer and give the option to easily change the text font for all CHT elements independently. Aditionally CHTtweaks uses great tool JMLMenuSense to make a setting menu.

CHTtweaks brings major changes as the original files of CHT.2.0.0 lua & mode9 are modified. I am also providing the open source where the changes are marked (--CHTtweaks) in the files as explanation. Feel free to use, modify, edit, mirror, sale, delete or whatever you want to do with this, but always with fun

For security also I am providing the original CHT files to restore if necessary. Just copy all files from insode the zip to windows folder, acept overwrite & restart Sense.

The files with changes are the followings:
5fa4d4b7_manila -- homedigitalclock.lua ==> chose png texture for numbers, colon & background; switch for transparent flipclock-tabs; switch for get out of the midle flipclock line.
4B558519_manila -- CHT_Widgets.lua ==> selectable opacity for home clock background
1EC5924B_manila -- homeAnalogClock.lua ==> chose png texture for analog clock face, hourhand, minutehand & secondshand
2AFAFEFA_manila -- CHT_Softkeys.lua ==> chose png texture for the softkeys background; switch for transparent softkeys background; switch to dissable the enlargement softkey icon when pressed, work done by devil-strike based on the script of rat_2665 (all credits for them please)
29C5E347_manila -- Co0kieEmail.lua ==> chose png texture for CHT email background independently of Email Sense Tab; change text font
7ECB5997_manila -- Co0kieMessages.lua ==> chose png texture for CHT SMS background; change text font
4956014B_manila -- CHT_Lockscreen.lua ==> chose png texture for the slider unlocker of each CHT lockscreen (Manila, Windows, Mini HD)
6A5D6A2D_manila -- Co0kieMusicPlayer.lua ==> switch transparent CHT music player background; change text font
45E83959_manila -- CHT_Titlebar.lua ==> switch transparent home title bar; set color for other Sense Tab titles (excepting Music Sense Tab & Internet Sense Tab); change text font
5146EC01_manila -- Co0kieAppointments.lua, 45D3F17C_manila -- Co0kieListControl.lua & 094C0231_manila -- Co0kieAppoointments.mode9==> switch transparent background for CHT appointment, horizontal alignment & change text font
3ACCF880_manila -- CHT_QuickLinks.lua==> change text font for quicklinks labels
58B6C4C5_manila -- CHT_FreeLinks.lua==> change text font for freelinks labels
346BA8F0_manila -- Co0kieTextClock.lua==> change text font for the clock, date & alarm bar widget
6639bcc4_manila -- weatherforhome.lua==> change text font for weather info for home.

CHTtweaks does also add some settings that use to be done in CHTEditor, now you can also do it in CHTtweaks, like disable double flip or minute flip; show seconds hand; set softkey height & menu height; set color for CHT Email text & CHT SMS text; select lockscreen style (0= Manila; 1= Windows; 2= HD Mini)

To restore default manila texture just leave the texture path in blank and restart Sense. CHTtweaks is provided without png textures because it was making so big. I have uploaded a pack CHTtweaks_PNGtextures.rar with some examples, just unpack it in the SD\CHTtweaks folder and select your favorite, delete, add new textures ... and share them with us! I havent done any of this nice graphics. I am taking graphics from NordPolCamper, MrBeO, LNando84, Santod040, jdpl@, _leciel_, S-Droid, Sternas & ericv99. Thank you so much for them!

Special thanks to LNando84 for all the good work and help with the setting menu.

Installation:
Switch Off Sense
uninstall any previous version, acept soft-resset.
Install CHTtweaks.v0.94.cab in device, accept soft-resset.
Install JMLMenuSense 1.60 or higher in device, only in case you allready have not installed for other widgets.
Extract CHTtweaks_PNGtextures.rar in device or SD, I use to do it in \Storage Card\CHTtweaks
Switch Sense On
Find CHTtweaks in add new quicklink or freelink \Miscellaneous. Also in Start Menu\Programs.

You can uninstall CHTtweaks.v0.94.beta.cab. If you any problem after deinstallation use restore.CHT.original.zip, just copy the original files from inside the rar to windows folder, acept overwrite and do restart Sense.

Also you can restore independently any modified file of CHT and the rest will continue working. I mean if you like the way of changing the CHT Email background but nothing else, just restore all the files excepting 29C5E347_manila. CHTtweaks will continue working only with this feature.

SOFTKEYS

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Just a few clicks and you can change easily the softkeys. Also I added the option to disable the softkeys icon enlarge when pressed, accordingly to the work done here by devil-strike based on the script of rat_2665

CHTtweaks includes the option to have transparent softkeys background in one click. All this changes in softkeys needs re-start Sense. Also includes the file restore.CHT.original.rar in case you want to uninstall this cab, just copy the files inside the rar into \windows and restart sense.

Special thanks to lnando84 for the tests and the work in the setting menu and all Dream Team for the nice graphics.

Tip: I am uploading a few transparent softkeys icons very useful to play a bit with this softkeys backgrounds textures. Enjoy!

EMAIL & SMS

HOMECLOCK

Thanks to the amazing work of Dunc001 in SimClock a lot of new possibilties are comming to the world of CHTwidgets. CHTtweaks add the feature to easily change the texture of some elements of the homeclock using png files.

You need to install previously JMLMenuSense v1.60 or higher

Just open CHTtweaks menu setting (CHTquicklink / CHTfreelink >> miscellaneous) and use JMLMenuSense explorer to find your favourite texture for the home analog clock, the numbers of the home flipclock and the colon (two dots). You can always restore the defeult textures just deleting the texture path and restarting sense

EDIT: With so many changes of home analog clock may be useful this set of clock hands good for any light-dark clockface

Thanks to Lnando84 you can find here (and followings posts) lots of clocks in png format, ready to use with CHTtweaks!

CHTScheduler
CHTS saves the texture paths modded by CHTtweaks. So you can use CHTS to switch differents textures only if the texture still exist in your device or SD. Also saves all .png files stored in widnows folder named as CHTtweaks***.png

Credits & thanks
Its a very big list, because all this is like a path of knowledge. But a big percentage of this concrete CHTtweaks is done because the work of Dunc001. Also the png included in the pack (just as examples) I did find in this great XDA community, and have been done by _leciel_, MrBeOtP2, Santod040, jdpl@ and ericv99. Also thanks for the tests done by BHS interceptor, lnando84 and the rest of the DreamTeam. Alos big thanks to lnando84 for the great work improving the CHTtweaks Setting Menu. Of course no CHTtweaks is possible without Co0kieMonster & MichelDiamond CHT2.0.0 & JMHL JMLMenuSense.

STILL BETA STAGE, FEEDBACK AND SUGESTIONS IS MUCH APRECIATED

HOW IT WORKS?

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

CHTtweaks 0.93.beta introduces small modifications in the lua files of Co0kie Home Tab 2.0.0 which makes that some properties of a few elements (homeclock, lockscreen unlocker, email background, etc) can be set in the registry HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\CHT.Tweaks.XXXX. This changes are compatible with any other widget or standar CHT skin: if there is no CHTtweak registry setting the default texture will be used.

CHTtweaks Setting Menu configure the registry, then this configuration is applied to CHT

I will update post#1 when the new version be ready .... but not this weekend, we have fiesta!

Hey Poy,

Just wanted to stop in and say thanks again for working your magic on the manila/lua files to make cht tweaks possible! It's a great tool for editing cht!! I like it so much I've decided to search for and convert analog clocks(available here xda) to png for everyone to take advantage of your useful tool. Bare with me as there are a ton of them to go thru..and of course i won't convert all but will bring you a bunch of them. All thanks goes to the creators of the clocks(I will post links to original threads). If there's a set you'd like converted please feel free to leave me a request

Hope you guys enjoy..
