Flashing addict to skinning addict. - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Well haven't had anything to flash since flashing wm6 black 1.2. So started skinning my today screen. Here it is.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
All thats left is to find some good meter replacements for ilauncher(any one know were to find some send me a msg) and I'm good to go.
Edit: The weather panel icons are animated. Gives it a little spice my son like to watch the lightning.

How do you do it?
Hi Chrisryn
How did you manage to make ur phone skin to look so cool? Could you tell me what program you are using? If you have some time, maybe you give a simple 123 tutorial for a NOOB like me.
Thanks in Advance. Cool Skin

There are 5 programs that you see in that ss.
1. Wisbar advance with Vistabetatwo skin
2. Weatherpanel with Finis2 skin
3. Ilauncher with icons by lokutos
4. Phone alarm with [email protected] skin
5. I also have wisbar advance desktop thats were 2-4 are shown.
If anyone knows an easy way to skin the dial pad or a good place to get dial pads that will work with wm6 drop me a line also a good skinable calc would be nice.

And, coming from Oklahoma City, I bet those animated tornado icons look pretty cool too eh?
Here in WI, all I can animate is cows....

pretty nice, maybe we can do a gallery with today screens from people, and share skills in tunning today...

yeah luckly haven't had to spend much time in the tornado shelters in the last couple of years but they said that will change this year. Looking foward to the icons.
sinmae: I was thinking a site dedicated to skinning the today screen with skins for different apps. Kinda like wincustomize. But I am only a cnc programer not a web desinger. So I don't have the skill.

contacts pic on today screen

can some one please tell me how i can put contacts pic on today screen,i seen it done with the treo 700 with windows 5.0.maybe some one can tell me of some software to do this,thanks
i use vjays phone tools and set shortcut with custom icon to my today screen launcher.
I also use VJPhoneTools on my Today launcher:

But there is a commercial app called MyPhoneShortcuts which does something similiar ($9.49).

Hi vjay,
when you gonna let us know how get out today screens looking this cool?
Bit busy
Holy sh*t VJ! That's some busy Today screen.
Davebo: Yeah, I'm still not happy about the spare bit of space in the middle (it's actually a plugin called VJTodaySpacer). Will have to put something ridiculous in there too! This plugin, VJEphemeris, is likely to substantially change shape as soon as I get a minute to re-address some of it. With my R&D on VJVolubilis etc, I want to build in one touch wifi/ir/bluetooth control etc, and some other stuff.
The screen looks busy but I find it quite easy on the eye (although I dislike analog clocks. I only did it to see how to do it..I think I'll remove it later)
I only have one screen, no virtual pages etc (yet!). The Quote of the day thing is funny, it auto sizes according to the size of the quote. So you get some long ones that autosize to like 3pixels high. Looks absurd
Has anyone gotten around to ripping the treo 700w rom yet? I'd like to have a look at their contacts dialer.

Wisbar Advanced Desktop will also let you put a shortcut to a phone number. Then I use vijay's tool for email and SMS.

Alknaion - phone alarm, skin available here:

The fullscreen technique is not entirely compatible with WM5 yet. I've not had enough time to get it out yet. Chakra will tell you all about it.

My rlToday skin for 96 dpi

I made a super simple skin for my Athena to organize my today screen better. I thought it might be vaguely useful to others so here it is. The items aren't perfectly lined up and uses no images. It currently has the date, calender, time, 5 applications, sms, email and missed calls counters. I may add tabs, weather and other stuff one day.
The skin is the top part:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}

Neat Ta!
Changed it around a bit, by swapping the date and time, so that it stills shows the time in portrait and then shrunk it to 110 to fit everything into my start screen.

Sorry for the newbie question, but where should these files be put? I've tried dropping them in the Windows directory and then going to Settings/Today to see what appeared. Nothing did.

You can download the skin from rlToday's main page under skin forum. These guys have made a phenomenal program!!!

Alternative for HTC Homescreen + Cube

Hey everybody,
I have a little question for you. I hope this is the right forum for my question
I’m searching for an alternative for my HTC Home screen and Cube. I have personalized the Home screen so far. But now I’m searching for a good alternative.
So I want you to give me an advice for a good application. What I want to use is the plug-in for the Home zone from o2 and Battery status. I want to look for the expend minutes, SMS, and the traffic.
Thank you for your help.

******Danger Zone****** Search PointUI before instaling if you are new.
UltimateLaunch, make your today screen a cube.
Use Spb Mobile Shell
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshell/?de
And thus, the three battlefronts were broght up, all in a row.
Use PointUI if customization doesn't really matter to you, and good looks with sparse information is tolerable
Use UL if you like to customize the heck out of your device, and spending time doing that is ok
As for mobile shell, I've heard great things, but can't say I've used it before. Anyone want to chime in?
UL and Pointui is free but SPB Mobile Shell is not... I like SPB Mobile Shell better...
throttlelauncher
After I've started to use ThrottleLauncher in my roms I have removed the htc Home, cube, action screen and the quick list.... and soon I will not be needing the comm manager because I can do everything from throttle. So I have removed more then 10 MB from my roms and replaced it with less then 1MB with my setup of Throttle .
The next version of Throttle will be so amazing that when you tried it you can't live without it again.
just a little screen form my setup

every page is scrollable and it can have todayplug inside the pages.
+1 for Throttle Launcher
+1 for Spb Mobile Shell
As I'm not impartial I'll not post my opinion but just in case you're interested, here you have a video preview of Throttle's next release (currently available for beta testers):

Gullum, Ather, thanks for the nice words .

The one in the screen is a preview of the one I will use with my next roms and are compadable only with next version of Throttle

ANyone want to skin SPB Time for a Diamond theme?

To all you awesome skinners, here's an app that has yet to be skinned with that cool Diamond look. Anybody up to the challenge?
This is what I'm using until a Diamond skin comes along....

No takers? com'on someone out there must use SPB time other then me?
Close Enough?
If you replace the BG.png file in your Spb Black 47 installation directory with this BG.png, you get this skin. It's not a perfect diamond but it does match better.

wow amazing
for me cant change wallpaper
calender is not in English
any way
very cool
just exelent...
Great theme. Thanks for all your work.
Weather
Does anyone know how they got the weather to display the next 4 days within the tf3d tab instead of having to go to a different screen?
Hey - just installed it, it looks amazing. I had some issues that were the purpose of this post, but I reflashed my ROM, made a few setting changes and tried again. Issues resolved.
For the person that asked about wallpaper, I think that because this uses a panoramic wallpaper, you have to actually overwrite manila files to change it. Search "pano" or panorama.
Flashing to a ROM that uses HD manila will allow the four days of weather on the main screen. If there are other ways to do it, I don't know about them.
Hia thank for your work. I've a problem in fact in home my clock remain on "am 0.00" all time. Why? How can i resolve?
somone know where to find the font that he uses in the theme? i can't find it anywhere, help if u can, thx in advance!!
Is this mirrored somewhere that doesnt require a registration? Looks awesome but I dont need another site spamming my box.
