I switched to a new panel, so thats why you don't see the dialog anymore. There is no need to reboot for changes to take effect, all that is necessary is to disable chome(windows default) plugin in settings\today\items and re-enable to see changes. I never rebooted when I made changes using chome configurator.

Before you added the weather panel had you changed you CPR files or used Hafrust's posted CPR files? If not you'll need to edit your CPR files as stated in the first post. Or, copy Hafrust's CPR files, and then Reinstall weather. Also, you need to make sure that the panel is added in your extensibility XML string in the registry.

Thanks you guys...finally got the launcher to show with all your help. I actually exported the registry settings from 2.1 and copied them in after I did version 3. Then did the cpr files and the extensibility regedits and now the Launcher is showing.

Thanks again...now I can start customizing!

Y'all may have missed it, but there is another GUID that can be used(and should probably be the basis for all custom panels). Its from the htc sliding panels for smartphone and is the GUID that all htc panels are based on. Here's some of the reg files from v3 titaniumweather for example:

Notice that you must specify a data source(in this case is this registry location), and a layout(this would be panel name inside the cpr). It also uses the Updated dword value. This can update the panel when value is toggled. I toggle it between 0 and 1 for the weather app to update when data is downloaded.
With this GUID, you will also need to make your panel layout in your cpr since it won't be using an existing panel. It can read any text string or image location from registry. In cpr file there must be a corresponding image or text line with same name as reg entry. For example, here's my v3 cpr section. You will be able to find the reg values above for page1 listed in cpr along with there position values. You'll notice that there are many image and text files, but the reg above doesn't use all of them. You can define all for all the pages in the cpr, but then use different ones for different pages of the panel. This way you can have different layouts for each page of a single panel.
drkfngthdragnlrd found this GUID and pointed it out to me, so all thanks go to him. Now a panel could be made for almost anything now with this. Use your imagination of what you'd like to see. It would be possible to add Pocket SportsCenter to a panel too, baseball and football scores that auto update=D>

I think I'm understanding that with the GUID we will be able to create new panels without making anything "invisible". To test it I simply created a "test" panel using that GUID, and then copied my "welcome center" panel in the CPR file and changed it to represent Test at the end of the cpr file. I then pasted my new CPR and I then went through the standard step to set up the panel, and havent been able to get it to show up. I see Test in the configurator, I've added it to the xml file, but i can't get it to show up. Anyone have any ideas? Shawco, am i missing the boat on this or am I on the right track?

yeah, this GUID can be used multiple times without losing condensed titles. When you copied the welcome center panel in the cpr, did you rename it to TestExpanded and TestCondensed(in the cpr)? You also need to have the Test key in reg with the same values as first key listed in that reg I posted. So you need the values for: Updated, Pages, DataSource, GUID, Layout, LocName.

Make those values something like this:
Updated -- make this as dword, value of 0 or 1
Pages -- this is your list of pages your using in this panel
DataSource -- this shoud be set to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\Test
GUID -- just copy the same
Layout -- 'Test', this tells it the name to look for in the cpr files
LocName -- 'Test'

In the pages registry keys, make sure whatever the image and text lines are called in the cpr are listed here. This GUID reads the info based on name given in cpr. So if cpr says: <Image ID="Image 1" Left="350" Top="-4" Width="100" Height="100" />
then registry needs to have entry called Image 1 for it to read. For text that looks like this in cpr: <Text ID="Text 1" Left="20" Top="52" Width="348" Height="42" FontFamily="Tahoma" FontSize="10" FontStyle="Bold" Wrap="False" VerticalAlignment="Top" Trimming="EllipsisCharacter">
then registry needs entry called Text 1.

The other GUID's used those names in cpr, but in registry they sometimes had different names and must have been loaded by chome on launch. This GUID can have values changed in registry, and if you toggle the Updated value from 1 to 0(or 0 to 1) then that whole panel reloads without needing to restart chome plugin or soft reset. I'm going to try to learn some programming to make a app to allow easy customization based on this GUID, but since I have little experience, it might take week or two.

Hi!

I've read post #182 and followed the instructions except the last one
"Copy the .cpr files from the attached cab and replace the existing ones in your Windows folder (thanks to Hafrust for the Cab)."

Because i can't find any cpr files here:silent:

Uhm i use Htc touch hd (480x800)

The fact i don't want to add contact dialer for my own, i just did for test (but still does not display on my titanium)

I would like to get on my titanium:

- Internet- with Opera browser
- Music player with TF3D's built-in player insteead of WMplayer

guys - when making .cpr files, u can probably do these small tweaks to make things look better in the 240x320 landscape mode, portrait mode needs no changes.
1. search for this word "HorizontalAlignment="Right"" and remove it - its in the clock layout and time section - all it does is make sure that clock is not right aligned and aligns it by default to left... makes sure that ur date has enough space to be not truncated.
2. also change default width of AM/PM and date to 120. that makes sure that u see the entire date..

attached is an updated .cpr for QVGA users with the latest version (v3) from mnemonique.. just for 240x320, i can upload the 320x240 now later on in the day..

Does anyone know how to activate the settings tab simply as the settings tab. What i've tried so far is enabling it in CHome config, Showing it as well as doing the HKLM edit to add it in the list of programs but no such luck so far

Also, I'm not sure if I just overlooked something, but it would cause Titanium to lock-up when switching through pages. As an alternative, I just created a custom Settings panel instead. If you're wanting to give it a shot, I'll take a look at it when I get home (leaving work now).

That would be awesome but to be honnest i've only just managed to get an Opera tab and then again only by installing weather 2.1 which activated clink for me. I've followed your steps on page one of thei thread (even the new ones from today) and i just can't get it to work. I have a feeling it's becausse i'm copying the whole GUID file and replacing the other but you would think that would achieve the same result.

Any help or guidance you could give would be much appreciated though... i must have a "Chromium" defficiancy lol

Maybe someone can help clarify where I should start?

I already changed my "Launcher" panel to a "contacts" panel. The "contacts" panel is now visible and functional but I no longer have the "launcher" panel. I did this before seeing some of the newer options so I have no idea where to start now to try and get a second "programs" panel. Is it possible with the steps I've already taken?

OK so it turns out i'm an Idiot and hadn't copied the cpr files properly. things are showing up now although I've lost my Weather Panel. So I tried to install weather panel 3 and lost all my changes :(

You can still add another panel or two using the instructions in post 2, where it talks about using information from the CWelcomeCenter and/or Settings Panels. Just follow the instructions carefully and it should work just fine. Curious though, your profile shows you're using a Treo Pro, is that correct? If so, it may be tricky because no one here has modified the cpr files for a phone with that resolution yet. Therefore, if you're using that phone, it'll take some extra work to get any additional panels added. Let us know if that's the case and we'll go from there.

Adding People tab with Contact pictures:

-Disable Titanium.
-Open CHome Configurator.
-Select Menu>Panel>New to create a new panel.
-When the Name dialog box pops up name your panel I chose "Speed Dial" hit ok
-Highlight your new "speed dial" panel by clicking it once
-Select Menu>Panel>Customize.
-Select Menu>Page>New.
-Type "Speed Dial" in Collapsed Field
-Select Menu>Template>Contact Dialer
-Select the first contact you would like to add
-click yes to use picture if a pic is stored otherwise you can chose a pic
-Repeat Menu>Page>New and Menu>Template Contact Dialer for every contact you want to add
-When you have all the contacts you want in their click Done
-Tap on Speed Dial again and then tap show (left soft key).
-Highlight the CLinks panel and select Menu>Panel>Disable>CLinks
-Exit the program (make sure you close the program by using Menu>Exit or your changes will not be saved) No need to reboot yet.
-Now you will need to open whatever regedit software you use. Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome.
-Open ExtensibilityXML. In the string, you will need to insert the name of the panel you just created in the place you want it to be displayed on the CHome home screen. The plugins are separated by a ";"
-Save your changes and soft reset.

-In your registry editor, go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\Clinks Copy the string value for GUID.
Go to HKLM\Security\CHome\DefaultSettings\Speed Dial Paste the GUID string value that you copied. Make sure it overrites the old GUID and doesnt give a GUID[1] if it does erase the old GUID and rename the new one.
-Copy the .cpr files from the attached cab and replace the existing ones in your Windows folder (thanks to Hafrust for the Cab).

Soft reset and re-enable Titanium.

To add or remove contacts disable Titanium, go into configurator and customize your speed dial tab. Hopefuly this helps everyone out, 99% of the credit goes to Hafrust and this thread! I just customized the information for a speed dial panel. Enjoy
