Best place to D/L WM5 SKINS & THEMES...?

I am pretty efficient at searching for things on the internet but I am struggling badly to find a diverse collection of WM5 SKINS and THEMES
I really would prefer to have good skins on my phone as most of the themes are bland and generally only differ in their wallpapers.
Thanks in advance if you have any good skins or themes or any awesome sites where to download!

Are you sure the themes are customised for WM5? Because from the screenies i can see it's for WM2003!

This prolly isn't anything you all don't know about but there are some neat themes here.

Love the apple black, unfortunately, when using the theme with magic button, the task bar and close button's color is grey and not black. That's the only thing preventing me from using the skin. Grr.

i posted this in another thread but here you go: wm2005 media player skins

FYI; do NOT use this skin:

buddy of mine complained that it caused his ppc to hang thus resulting in a hard reset. go for the first link above
for the above mentioned link; i use the ipod skin as i love the way the buttons are spaced. lets me press the buttons when i'm driving and listening to the tunez
cheers

Looks nice, but it sacrifices all of the memory functions, and removes a few of the math operator functions.

This one is floating around for some six month already. If you want the memory function, you can just use skins for built in calculator (default looks of this thing suxxxorz)

True, There's even an iphone skin for it, now I'm using it with the standart black skin, looks cool!

same here, never thought the standard calc was skinnable. thanks !

It's only for WM5? I have some errors with WM6.

Does this support landscape mode? I installed it on Kaiser and it seemed to work only in portrait mode, someone please confirm?

best multipage/multitab today plugin?

Hi guys,
What's the best multi page today plugin with the ability to insert today plugins inside pages?
I'd like if i could have first top half of the screen with htc home plugin and second bottom half with more than one tab with inside different today plugins.
Sorry for my english, hope clear enough...
TY
Bye

there is wisbar advance desktop (WAD for short) which can do some wondrous things and it is completely customizable and skinable:
http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products.php?prod=WisBar+Advance+Desktop
takes a bit to get used to, but you basically lets you create today screens and add what you want to them, including other today plugins and counters, text , images etc...sorry, not the best description. Have a look at the forum on the site to see what people are using it for.
Hope it helps

I like the good ol' HTC Home. Nice and simple.

I'm really digging on the the tried and true cLaunch lately. As I'm limited to a 240x240 screen, there are only a few viable options for the limited real estate and cLaunch is working nicely as an app launcher. In conjunction with Quickmenu, I manage my device and access my apps with minimal keying.

i like ultimatelaunch

X2 for cLaunch. Simple, clean, multiple pages, custom icons (.bmp, exe, or dll) you can even change the size of the icons you want to make it more finger friendly. I set mine to 32 pixels, and took off all the borders and tabs. You can use lnk shortcuts.

I think OP 's original request was for something that is tabbed AS WELL as be able to include other today plugins as tab.
can cLaunch or ultimate do that?
I know SPB Pocket Plus can but there are some plugins it can't incorporate which I wish it could like the WM6 calendar and task plugins.

is there an english version of ultimatelaunch

This is a best plugin so far and uses a minimal amonut of ram considering how much works it does.
Anybody know how to put meter in this plugin like battery, signal, memory etc. And show running programs in a tab.

You can create your own tabbed today plugin (for FREE) by using:
1. rlToday
2. MortScripts

thanks its nice but is threre a plugin for unread msg and phone calls

That ULTIMATELAUNCHER thing seems quite nice - but I havent figured if it is possible to point it to a folder. It has super interface, but I find it a bit to difficult to configure...

Is that an exe for pc installation? If so, can you make a cab for ppc installation?
or is that suppose to replace an exe file somewhere? If so where?

[WMP] WVGA iPhone skin remade in high resolution

Hi everyone, here's my first contribution to this wonderful community
I don't know how many people were in my boat but in my search for a pretty WVGA skin last week I stumbled across this iPhone style one:
http://mylostblog.altervista.org/sk...inal-skins/wmp-skin-005-iphoneipod-touch-wide
However, the WVGA skin seemed to have simply being a badly resized QVGA one so I spent some time and remade all the graphics. Only changes I made were that the shuffle and repeat icons are now grayed out by default and become white when active. Also in landscape the play/pause, previous and next icons no longer sit in their own little box. Everything else is pretty much the same but high res.
For those that don't know, install the skin by placing the "iPhone" folder in your /Program Files/Windows Media Player folder and select the skin from the options. You will have to select the landscape one when in landscape mode.
Credits to MyLostBlog for the initial design.
Update:
MyLostBlog has pointed out that there is an official higher resolution version of this skin here:
http://mylostblog.altervista.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=82
I have uploaded the cab from here as well as the design.
This has an extra mute button and fullscreen button in landscape mode.
Thanks again to MyLostBlog for the beautiful design.

very nice skin! thanks for your work!

Although I'm not an iPhone fan this skin looks great and much more comfortable than the standard one. I will give it a try later on.

Nice skin. Thanks for sharing.

I agree, I'm not a fan of iPhones either but the default WMP skin is horrible. I can't really change to another player though because I use voice commands to play my music

you're not changing players, you're just installing a new skin to make it look different

Haha what? I know that, I am the OP. I'm saying that I agree with WMP being rather old and lacking some useful features, however, I can't use voice commands with other players such as CorePlayer or S2P and hence I'm more or less stuck with WMP - hence the skin.

How do I get the Landscape Skin to show up in the Options window?

Turn the phone on landscape (make sure you have a screen rotating app installed such as FlipIt).
Once in landscape navigate the options and it will display landscape skins.

Ah, I see. Gotta use a screen rotater and get in landscape first, huh? Gotcha. Thanks.

Is anyone having problems of this not working? The skin only applies for a few minutes then once I make sure it's in use in options it just reverts to the original skin. Also my WMP folder is empty .

no registration just choose your resolution and no caps just copy paste contets to windows media player folder http://mobilityupdate.com/iphone-skin-for-windows-mobile-qvga-vga-wvga-wqvga-supported/

This skin has saved my WMP experience... Thanks!
Any chance of someone porting a true "Touch Player" setup to WMP11? I truly miss the swipe from TF, but it just kills the memory to run it all...

using tf3d and mobile shell

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=1509
this method does not seem to work on my Imagio, if anyone else has another way to run both tf3d and ms3.5 at the same time, please post your method and in the mean time i am trying figure out a good way myself.
*dont know why the link isnt working but its in the development and hacking area of the forums

Why would you wanna run both at the same time anyway? They serve same purpose but has only different useability and UI. And running both of them would probably eat alot of RAM too..

tf3d has gps based weather and spb has customizable widgets, i dont need to run both at the same time but i would like the main today screen to be tf3 and be able to switch to mobile shell at the touch of a button.

Through a combination of TF3D Detacher and the Xperia X1 Panels, I'm running TF3D, Titanium, and the X1 home screen. I'm about to try adding MS 3.5 to the mix.

I couldn't add MS 3.5. The information on TF3D Detacher and the X1 panels are all over this forum, a quick search should pull up everything you need. I don't have any screen shots at the moment, mainly because I just did a hard reset and am running straight MS 3.5 (I'm OCD and will keep hard resetting until I get exactly what I want).
