Yeah, unfortunately that doesn't scale the background when you switch to landscape. I edited the LS_Global_480x640.cpr and LS_Global_640x480.cpr files, but that only changed the backgrounds for the locked screen...although very cool, I can't figure out which ones specify that main backgrounds!

EDIT: Nvm - it's right there in the .tsk file!

EDIT #2: Until I can figure out how to repackage the .tsk file I just overrode the stwater_640_480.jpg and stwater_480_640.jpg files in the \Windows dir. Unfortunately the today page seems to offset the image slightly so that the portion underneath the taskbar doesn't line up properly. It's worse in landscapemode.

where to find themes for 6.5?
and will the tf3d icons for 6.1 work with 6.5 rhodium manilla?

You'll need to edit your cprs too so that the name of the CWelcomeCenter panel will show correctly(otherwise it will say "Getting Started"). Also, to get different icons/images for each page of your panels, you need to edit the cpr.
For the name, open cpr to CWelcomeCenter Condensed section. Change "PluginLabel" to "Text 1".
For the different icons on each page of panel, in cpr at CWelcomeCenter Expanded and at Operator Services Expanded, change "Icon" to "Image 1". I think Settings panel may also be tweaked to use as another panel, but not certain since I haven't tried it.

Help Please! I cannot get the new Panel to display a title. The links are in there but it has no title. I also deleted the registry setting for the GUID for the CWelcomeCenter by accident. Can someone please let me know what the registry setting was for this. Thanks!

The string value for the CWelcomeCenter GUID is {97343B9B-5BB5-474d-98AA-E4CD2DD0A873}

As far as getting the title to show, would you mind posting what exactly you've done so far?

Just so everyone knows, I've updated the first post with the information from post 19.

Thansk....

I went into the customer program. Created the new contacts field. Added a page. Went to Reg Editor. copied GUID from CWelcomeCenter and pasted it in Contacts. Added the name to the XML file. Soft Reset. Now I can't get it back at all. With or without a title. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

OK...you had a blank panel before because I told you to paste the GUID in the wrong place. My apologies. You will need to copy the GUID from HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\WelcomeCenter to HKLM\Security\CHome\DefaultSettings\Contacts.

And which spot do I alter the XML file? In settings or software?

[Hafrust]

I'm not sure what you are referring to...the only other thing you need to edit is the .cpr files, which you do by copying them to your pc and opening with notepad. Then you copy them back to your Windows directory on your phone.

Edit: I'm sorry, were you talking about the XML file to re-order the panels? If so, it's in Software. I don't believe there is an ExtensibilityXML in Security.

I'm having trouble launching TitaniumCustomizer.exe and CHome configurator - after I install them (with titanium disabled), I get an error message that states:

"The file 'TitaniumCustomizer' cannot b opened. Either it is not sined wih a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file"

I've reinstalled both of them a bunch of times with no luck. I'm running a rom based on the SSK 1.6 21198.5.0.0 Kitchen. Titanium Weather works great, though.

Are they installed to you storage card or your device? I have mine installed to my device and they run with no problem.
