I haven't found any info on this matter...
I have tons of WM 2003SE tsk themes, but... they don't work with WM 5.0 in my Universal...
Do you know where can I find compatible themes? I tried wisbar advance desktop, but it is still in beta... I'm looking for simple tsk themes that work in WM 5.0
Any help would be appreciated.
Someone posted this a while back, I beleive you need the Pocket PC SE VGA to work with the Universal. I have not tried it yet, so do post back if they do work.
http://www.wmthemes.com/default.aspx
It doesn't work. The lower two softkeys don't change their colour, and the wallpaper appears like grey, even if it has... every colour of the rainbow.
I'm really surprised that M$ hasn't announced a theme maker for WM 5.0... And more surprised that there are only 1-2 themes available for WM 5.0 devices...
Really unfortunate...
Try this one:

try mine. i've been playing for a while. some of them are really cool. tell me what do you guys think??? rename the extention to .tsk
More to come....
svyatko you rock! Excellent themes at last!!! Send more plz!
How did you make them my friend? With what kind of software?
Thanx also for the other links to the other friend who post them
Hi svyatko,
Are you using a launcher? How did you get to show so many icons on your screen?
What is the colorful round icon near the battery icon?
Very nice themes. How did you create them?
Great themes svyatko!
I dont seem to have the additional icons!
Do I need to install flash or anything?
guys thanks for your comments. Now, all icons I have , are RESCO TODAY PLUG-IN. it's pretty cool. and it doesn't slow the system like SPB POCKET PLUS one. The icon in the corner next to the battery is POCKET INFORMANT icon.
and regarding the software I am using, its something like McDEV Theme creator. I can't remember the axact name, coz i'm @ work, sneakely writing from my Exec ;-))
yess! The program is ThemeMaker McDeb and it works...
At last I made my own themes based on the ones provided here! Thanx again my friend, it works great.
i'm glad you made it. the only problem I find difficult to solve is the dimentions of the picture. no matter how I tried, the picture gets cut in landscape or in portrait modes. it's obviously not a big deal in an abstract pictures, but in something more precise, that is a great pain in the ass...
Do you have a link for the resco today plugin?

I cant seem to locate the network browser on the trial download. What can it do? Anyone got any first hand experience?
Hey guys,
This might seem like a random or misplaced question, but I am split between these two programs ...
So far ..
The big con for me for POINTUI is the inability to fully customize everything, including placing shortcuts for certain word documents in an easily accessible menu. Have you guys found the same?
The big con for WAD is the memory drain (or have you guys found the POINTUI to be about the same).However, the WAD is WAY WAY more customizable.
Some help about the two would be very very helpful.
I use Wibar Desktop and finally i prefer this for full customisation !!!
PointUi is very impressive but not customisable as well...
I ve created the VistaPhone with Wisbar... Style Iphone remix...
look screenshot... I used the PointUi wallpaper for joke...
1st = today - 2nd = Menu Page - 3rd = Apps 1 - 4 = Games... and more

Make a new map in the "windows/start menu/programs" folder Example "Docs"
Copy the word documents and paste the shortcuts in that folder. Then you can access them all the time. I still think PointUi is one of the best programs for wm devices ever made.
Go with pointui.. wisbar does have alot of customization but its almost too much. Its annoying to me. Go with pointui. They are improving on it everyday and it is free.

Yes but does it allow you to use today plug ins? I have many I want to use and can't with PointUI like I can with Wisbar Advance.
Even the new 1.02b doesn't seem to do this.
OK but WAD not effect and not Slide
Sorry for my English
I just think you can't compare the 2 softwares..
PointUI is pretty new and developed only by one man. Let it do some work and i'm sure we'll see the best

The Fast and the Furious ---> PointUI
My 2 cents.
PointUI - for entry level users, very user friendly, stylus-free. Great for beginners because of easy setup. Plug and play pretty much. UI is just great for show, but slows down device over extended use.
Wisbar - experience users and mod addicted users. Tons of setups and themes, but the outcome is very satisfying. May be a little much for beginners. Full front end customizable.
My opinion, wisbar hands down, its a little confusing at first, but I loved it ever since.
ViJay, you'll like PointUI for the first 24 hours, but the developer you are, its not up to standards, but then again, PointUI is only in its beginning stages.
WAD all the way
The customization ability in WAD is unmatched by any program. It does take some getting used to, but once you do you won't be able to use anything else. Also Chris (developer) is coming out with WAD2 sometime this month. He has talked about adding in some new features (effects) and reducing the footprint of WAD.
I prefer PointUI, especially with the black theme
I've attached the latest (as of 05/02/08) cab installer.
View attachment Pointui.Home.Wm5.Black.CAB
I'm using SPB pocket plus 4.02. Is the interface comparable to pointui and wisbar?

oh man, I didnt know that you can make such things with wisbar, I think its too complicated for me. I will give it a try and play with it a little bit.

that happens to be one of the most beautiful themes i have seen thus far. Where could i get my hands on this theme?
-deck
i will update in few days my theme on lakeridge...
But configuration is for french user other you must edit all link...
Tutorial...
Is there a tutorial for using WAD? I'd love to create a new today scheme but I'm pretty new at all of this. I believe it's $9.95 at the Lakeridge site which seems very reasonable to me. Thanks in advance.

No, they are not comparable.
Pointui can't be use perfectly for VGA device
While for WAD QVGA n VGA both are perfect
where to download?
i am a theme hunter i seen a lot of themes but this is a real nice one.
Download link please?
It was the year 2006 that Meizu announced their M8 (or MiniOne). Its a iPhone clone with some extra functionalities. Now, after a false rumor of showing is at the CES 2008, it will be shown at the CeBIT (March 4-9, Hannover, Germany) instead. Can't wait, because:
The UI is cloned too, which is running on WM 6. If I get this right it can be ripped (and maybe translated to English) to be used on the HTC's and others.
I hope it isn't better than the iPhone like products of A_C and others... ;-)

P.S.: is this the right place to mention news?
how do you wanna rip something that's not even out yet...?

Well, just a glance at the site the are firmwares released, but I didn't bother downloading the firmwares. However, where did you see where it mentions its running Windows. And I can't find any specs. If it is Windows, we can extract the files but I don't think it is.
Ok, I found the specs, supposed Windows CE, but I really don't feel like looking around that forum, site is horribly slow. I did see a mention of firmware, see if you get a link.
"Operating System: Windows CE for Meizu M8 (Based on Windows CE 6.0)"
Source: http://en.meizu.com/userforum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1676
This American Trader claims he has the M8 the 3rd of March, which is probably a false and customer attracting trick: http://www.negrielectronics.com/meizu-minione-16gb-p-228.html?currency=USD
As far as I know, current versions of Windows Mobile are based on Windows CE 5.0, not 6.0.
Doesn't look good for getting this going on any other current handsets.
i would kill for a UI like that.. and if it was achievable w/o wisbar, i would be even happier
ps - already took a stab at it.. very unsuccessful
It is running on CE6 as i know not WM6 there is a big diference in these OS-es
okay, so we don't have to rip it to achieve a look like that..
can't someone make a theme from scratch?

that's WM7, or Photon.
I guess that M8 will be release in 2009 (or 2010?)
My today screen looks similar to this:
umm on the bottom that looks like the LG menu but what esle do u got running there? and ifs its a custom skin mind sharing cuz it really looks cool
the top bar is ultimatelaunch and i have 3 tabs as you can see, apps/main/weather. for the apps i have iphone like icons, the main tab is the s2u2 lookalike clock which i made with rltoday, the weather tab is my htc home plugin. the clear icons on the bottom to show missed call/voicemail/sms/email are made from a batterystatus theme, and yes the bottom is the lg menu. It also rotates between tabs with "cube" animation and rivals pointui in smoothness. I highly reccomend it, ultimatelaunch that is, its not free though
@spencepu3 Im sorry man im kinda dense would u mind posting a walk thru on how u made that theme and the files needed ??
and yeah i heard about ultimate launcher but i do know that your able to use it free but with limited nagging
yea ill post it in a few hours i gotta go out to eat with the girlfriend for valentines day haha
Thx man have fun on the date
For the top labels im using ultimatelaunch, you can google it and download it. In the "main" label I have a today plugin for rltoday. I can post the skin.xml i made to make it look like s2u2/iphone like. There are very many themes to rltoday though. The weather tab has my htchome today plugin in it. the today plugins can be put in new tabs when you make them in ultimatelaunch. Then the 4 clear buttons on the bottom are my batterystatus today plugin with a different skin. The one i have doesnt actually even showthe battery status but it shows missed calls/sms/email/voicemail . I can post the skin file for this as well. battery status can be downloaded from the owners website just google it. and the lgtoday plugin is .cab file on this forum.
i got rltoday and batterystatus and ultimatelaunch but i need the skin.xml u used
and especially i would like the theme ur using for batterystatus i have been using it for a long time but never found a skin as nice as that one
alright here are the xml files. just unzip both and put in their appropriate folders. the rltoday (s2u2) skin should look how its shown but for the battery status skin you have to uncheck some indicators from the options to have just the one row of buttons like i do.
looks really nice...
but, can't find this lg plugin you have at bottom. pls can you point me to right thread?
tia,
pirlone
Windows CE6 Software can run under Windows CE5. If they doesnt use new functions.
does anyone know of a good weather app to use with iFonz? free or not, doesnt matter. i just want to kno which is the best or iphone look-a-like or so. if it doesnt look like iphone like software.... if its better, then it doesnt matter. thx in advance. anyone info?
Weather Watcher is free and is excellent for being free, or use SPB Weather or SPB Traveler. Weather Watcher basically is a window that will retrieve data from PIE, but gives you extra tabs to show, day, week, radar, alerts. SPB Traveler gives weather but also has a list of tools that most find handy. SPB Weather is weather, haven't really ever seen/used used it.
THX SO MUCH for the speedy reply, great info, and short round up review of these programs. u have been a big help since im so undecisive and didnt know just yet how where to start. its been deeply appreciated. thx!!
No problem , enjoy!
This is RC. Screenshots
Actually, the entire world is. It was leaked to the public.
I saw a link of an all black theme for it, now I can't find it.
cool but nomore widgets?
we all are trying it lol. and yes there still is widgets.
probs so far.
- it conficts with touchflo 3d
- no box to deselect in home plugin menu
- finger scrolling working ok but could be a lot better
- no panel included in the cab install like there weather and travel software (i have a x1)
- uses a lot of wm stuff instead of there own software (eg, clock, sms, alarms, calender etc). not really a prob but would have prefered if they used the own software (jaze it up a little.

Installed this morning, loving it, does gradually hog the resources the more you do, but I guess the official version will be sorted, will definitely buy this, if there is only one bit of software you buy for your PPC, this is it..10 out of 10 from me.
Beats TF3D and SPB mobile shell 2 hands down.
to each their own, i installed the 'trial' and have to say that i got very disappointed; i used the v2 for a long time before i got my xperia and i loved it; now that i've seen the v3 it's uglier and less intuitive, i say no to that and stick to my tf3d which in general is also much smoother than this;
yark and blah...
