Thanks for info..
Yes this is a good application but, why it isn't a plugin today launcher.

put it in startup folder
pro:
- nice interface good scrolling e clear view
- nice the real clock with second even if it could be not so readable in day light (in the "action" menù it should be visible a digital clock or a more readable analogic clock)
con/desiderata:
- too many icon to scroll (all the apps and the settings) may be better if you can minimize the program and the setting list in vertical folders.
- nice interface it would be great if with a 2.0 release, dial, contact and messaging are integrated.
- with trinity and lasagna WM6 3.05 some problem with activesync, dunno if the same with other device/OS.
- does'nt display battery charging and sincronizing
- lack of usefull shortcut (music player, weather, or favorites call number)
- some problem with lanscaper/portrait switching
- no theme selection capabilities
- it could be great if you can choose from vertical or orizzontal kind of scrolling apps and setting (imo the orizzontal scrolling (like a book way) its quite bit more natural)
- check the sms/email/mms behaviour of the interface when system is Locked; When receive an sms or a mail the screen, should be locked even with the notify displayed if you want to interact you should unlock screen.
This is Quality Application! Makes my Touch look more like a mobile... kewl...
I agree with Dodba : this software needs a GUI messaging and calls.
Me finks the guys over at pocketcm.com will be interested in this!
Hebrew skin for VITO GoodWin.

This is a nice app I like the look of it. This is a trial version though a license cost 19.95.
Has anyone tried to Skin this?
I've located the skin files on the install directory, but had no success.
They are .bmp but I can't seem to open them or edit.
Nice app.
Is it skinnable? Any htc touch screen?
I think this is a great start and hopefully it continues to see updates because right now it works well, but a little more customization and organization would be nice. Having just every single program and setting link roped into one giant long page that takes 3 minutes to scroll down just isn't for me right now. I imagine if a version 2 is released that addresses the ability to organize it better i'd be all over that for 19.99
well.. skin masters!.... a htc touch skin for this??
The Time/Lock Screen must also show the next appointment. Then it would be perfect.

with you there!
Also a weather app would be nice!. not sure wether there is one or not but a slide to lock as well as unlock would be great! another thing that would be nice is a bounce back back to the top of the screen after a predefined time five seconds perhaps?
ouch! slows down horribly when running htc audio manager in the background! thats on my vario 2 with four programs in total running (including phone which it wont turn off!?) and with 8 meg of program memory spare and 11meg of storage mem on the phone.
Yes wecan skin it !
Just have to edit shell.bmp in photoshop (the other bmp file is for the about page) and save it in the same format. fushia color is for the transparency.
Only one default when changing backround to white to grey (for example) there is no icon transparency It's so ugly...
May attempt to have official skin or a pro
Its the same editing for Vito FunContact.
Some stuff are missing:
- What to do
- Calendar
- Weather
but it's a good start, keep working
Battery
I just LOVE this application...
BUT: it's a real battery-eater !
Cheers
hrb
I like it, but the lock feature isnt very usefull. When device is put to sleep with the powerbutton... screen is off

My phone company, 3, have just released these finally in Oz and am heading out to get one tomorrow.
Now is the best time to ask everyone what are their favourite programs they have installed on the Trinity? Saves me searching around forever....
I need one that closes all programs totally (so they dont continue to run in the background), switches what hard buttons do (unless you can do that automatically), plus whatever else people think i need......
I thought this would be a good thread for all newbies and others who want to know what are the best ways to pimp up their Trinity.
thanks
Scott
You can stop all running programs from Start button->Settings->System->Memory.
Also the new ROM i got has an option somewhere with the ability to change the behaviour on the closebutton.. It says HTC menu util or something similar.
Get magicbutton (for the task closing), its free and works fine....

It's under START->Settings->System->Task Manager.
It has 2 options;
1) End programs by tapping X
2) End programs by taping and holding X
MagicButton sucks pretty hard, the last version has some issues with the telephone application (it doesnt close it).
The most kick ass application you'll ever get for your trin is this one:
Spb Mobile Shell: This a pretty good application that enhance your today screen with tabbed menus and give you alot of nice features like enhanced menus, task manager and alot of other cool features.

Pocket Weather (SBSH)
Today Agenda
Device Lock

That should keep you busy .
thanks for that. what are the programs down the bottom where you can have all the shortcuts on the today page? The one with the tabs for Big,Apps, Car,etc plus the little icons below that....... same program?
That is my only shortfall of this beautiful phone- the lack of shortcuts i can program.
Matterhorn, it looks like you would benefit in battery time and also speed, by using the option to properly close your apps rather than minimise them when pressing the X button. I am judging this by all the apps that appear to be open in the bottom of your today screen.

The apps at the bottom of the screen are all just shortcuts, they aren't running. The program iLauncher allows you to make shortcuts at the bottom of the today screen. These are the apps that I use very often and don't want look for them. The other groups of shortcuts "Big", "Apps" etc. are also part of iLauncher and I make the icons big so I can use my fingers to launch the apps. I have iLauncher programmed to close some apps with the X while other programs are not allowed to be closed with the X, such as Messaging, Mortplayer, IE etc. I use the "close all" option when I really want a clean system. Believe me, I don't let apps run unless I need them running .
how do you make it so the ilauncher bar is all the way down the bottom of the screen? mine sits about halfway up....
Montalbert,
Go to start>settings>today>items select program shown and select move up or down!

BIQ

It is a bit tricky because when you have items in your calendar plug-in it moves the whole today screen up and down. That is why I use TodayAgenda instead, it is an app that allows you to set the length of your Task and Calendar list. This way you only scroll within TodayAgenda and not the whole screen. This makes it possible to make the iLauncher stay at the bottom. You just have to set iLauncher to manual height and experiment until you get the proper height for your today screen.
I hope that helps

niec so the gif worked wtih s2u2 when you took the folder? 2nd i love ur pic that cartoon was my fav i bought the recent dvds that came out...
NARF
ok so i took the new gfx folder and put it into the s2u2 folder the gif images didn't load wtih s2u2 oh well
There are only four files in the gfx folder(Resco).First I copied the whole thing in the My Documents folder,uninstalled,put S2U2 in and copied the wallpapers into the gfx folder of S2U2. I like the crisp graphics of this prog,but I love being able to use dpad and have a quicker slider,settings that actually apply,etc.
i had a lot more files with resco than 4?!?!? were you able to get the gif animations to work wtih s2u2
On the Titan I am not getting the app to launch on wake/resume or backlight/power off. It only works from the shortcut or .exe. Other than that, it looks promising.
final version??
Hi, is this going to be the final version??
i realise that there's some memory leakage.. my gwes.exe is ramming up!!!
from 2mb to 3mb or close to 4mb... is that an issue?? anyone encounter this same issue???
Other than that, i assume its taking up my rom after i change till 10 different wallpaper....
Initially i was so contented that this program allowed gif file to be displayed but after these few issues, i am more of disppointed than excitement...
so to be confirm again...
Is this really going to be the final version or there is another better version coming up...
Just to clear my doubts... no offence...

how do u access setup? what and where is the 'spanner icon' looked for it everywhere and tapped everywhere and couldnt find it... program looks great once i figure out how to set it! thanks
This application seems to be very exellent. It's very simple to configure and possibilities to slide the clock to view information like numbre of unread sms, appointment ... it's a good idea.
Thanks to the author of this application.
PS: Sorry for my english, i'm french.
in the new version, there is no setup and when I start the log, it says "can't find wallpaper" ............
I uninstall the previous version before install this new
thks for your help and your work
bye

to access to setup you must slide from top to bottom on the "slide to unlock" bar and then slide when you see the setup text.
It Just keeps getting better
I Love It ...... Sliding the Clock is awesome.
Thank you for all of your name submissions and comments. I would have loved to use all of them, but one stood out from the rest, describing exactly my vision for this customization. Congratulations chulo_allen of xda-developers.

Same here!!!! The clock shows 88:88 and everything else is gone. But it is nice and smooth though...good job music!!!!!!!
I was going for the Time machine effect, where it looks like you open your desktop and there is all this space back there. oh well. I guess it's not for everyone.
I'm working on a Supernova type of transition where a sudden burst of light comes out, then subsides to show the galaxy, then the Slabs come up.
hey man...lovely program... some constructive crit. though....i hope in the future you make an app to change up the programs and apps in the cube/flo....its slightly slow as compared to the original t.flo...and it would be nice if there was a changeable background... but honestly...amazing program...installes and uninstalls without any problems...launches and minimizes properly...except when its being launched it shows a background of a different touch screen, but thats just a cosmetic effect...ill giv more feedback if as i use it...hope it helps...thanks again for something great
He does it again!
MusicMan,
Nicely done!
Can you describe the easiest way to modify the shortcut locations/change the icons? Some of the shortcuts don't work, probably because I have installed programs on the storage card vs device proper.
Is there a way to set the default page? (so the phone shortcuts always pop up first?)
Thanks again!

July 7, 2008 - VITO Technology releases Winterface - a major breakthrough in the world of Windows Mobile interface. Winterface is the Next Generation Shell for Windows Mobile comprising the options of a launcher, a task manager, and a multitude of Today plug-ins. Winterface gives the user unprecedented freedom to easily lay out interface exactly the way they like it.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As a shell Winterface removes the necessity to turn to default Windows Mobile interface: Today screen and Start menu. Winterface opens instantly whenever users draw a simple gesture on the screen. It allows users to have as many screens as they need and put on them icons for applications, settings and contacts. The screens are flipped through with sliding finger gestures. The icons for such applications as phone, sms, email, battery, clock, calendar, memory, etc. - all show relevant information and thus replace a number of Today plug-ins.
Pros:
- it is vast and very sensitive
Cons:
- just another iphone ripoff
- it is just several pages of buttons, nothing more. No reason to use it.
- it looks ugly when compared with other products like PointUI or SPB MS 2
Conclusion:
It is waste of time.

Yes software is too simple and not today plugin ( No clock, no singnal, no battery...no.....) . Ones is here have onlied in screenlock but also obscurely exept clock it be visibility .
Maby they released it quickly before iSwish is released.
Nothing special here move along..hehe
Thanks, I like it.
Well... It has some problems.
- The program launches by adding a finger-gesture to the os. The gesture is a curved swipe from left to right.
This worked well with my right thumb. Too well perhaps, becouse it works everywhere.
Like in googlemaps and opera mini. It pops up the winterface every-friggin-time you pan to left.
- You can't turn off the "slide-to-unlock" feature. Which is insane. Why do i need it in a device that has a power button that already locks-up the buttons.
- There is no "settings" menu. No customization, no nothing.
- It seems that it drained my battery over night. Had a nice tone of "battery depleted" to wake up to, this morning.
- I added a bunch of contacts to the menu. Then i realized that i would physically have to drag every single one to a screen that is 3 slides away.
In my opinion. This is not a finished product.
i agree that the software is unfinished product, it shouldn't be 1.0 version, i suggest this should be 0.1 version
1. no setting, and battery, time, etc which should be on the top of screen, now they are taking place of the first page (or if you want to go to second page find out what's battery situation?)
2. the screen lock stopping music play, when i press the power button, it should just screen off, but the winterface make the phone off, even during my phone call, when i press power button, i cannot hear other side,(i guess they won't hear me either)
3. the screen lock freeze the screen, the slide button may stay in the middle of the bar, and i have no choice but reset my phone.---how stupid! how dare they put 1.0 on the version?
after 1 day surf, i just have no choice but uninstall it.
lock screen
if the lock screen gets stuck in the middle just go to your normal task manager and end the program. the swipe your finger to restart it and it should be fine again.
Wow. I'm almost to the end of the trial period and I've had almost none of the problems listed here on my Tilt. Except, of course, for the left-right swipe which is VERY irritating when using Opera. But, I've never had it affect music or calls. As far as the power indicator, there is a bug when you first load it in, but I went to Settings on the menu and added the Power option. Now, there's a power indicator. Granted, it's only on the first screen.
My only other gripe is that not all of the applications on my phone are on the application list and, therefore, I can't make an icon for it. That kind of sucks since it makes a program like MoNotes useless.
Other than that, I thought it was really solid and prefer it to Pointui or Mobile Shell. BUT, I use other Vito software, so it's more geared to my phone anyway.
It was fun to play with for about 3 minutes! then I uninstalled it as there is no comparison to Spb MS....
same here...loaded and used shortly. has potential, but lacks customization. also, does not support 5 way navigation - touch only. didn't like that. unistalled as well.
Thank gawd it's no comparison to PointUI --- I can't stand that thing. I like a simple interface that lets me start programs, close programs and tells me what time it is. I don't need spinning menus and cubes and suns and moons, etc...
Curious though, what is 5 way navigation -- I only have touch on my phone so maybe that's what I don't know? lol
it could have been a very nice thing - 3 years ago
but i think it's really not interesting now
I tried it and now I love it.
Whatever I need is there (time/date with links to alarm clock/calendar, programs shortcuts, task management, quick dial for contacts). Moreover It's really responsive and lighter on memory than both PointUI and SPB Shell.
I must say, however, that it has also some small annoyances:
the "too much common" startup gesture for example.
Winterface is not perfect but IMHO a very good option as a shell replacement.
any one have problem with battery drain?
vito icons
here are the ones in currently using.i also found out if you have pictures set, the boarder around the pictures will mess with the pictures. so if you have pictures set on winterface just keep that in mind. i dont have pictures set for contacts so it doesn't bother me.
Download link:

put these two files in Program files/vito/winterface/skin/bin
and if you have it on your storage card just go to your storage card first.
Then you just close and restart winterface. Both the first pics i posted and the s2u button are included in the download.

thanks for this! love this app. fits perfectly with my others like sms-chat, s2v, s2p.
I think this program certainly has alot of potential, and like the interface and how easy it is to customize it exactly the way you want it.
thia is a great app. I have been testing this today and it very fast and easy to customize.
Manilla2d is really impressive shell of course, but there's no some really needed functions, that we can use in basic today shell. I was really disappointed in absence of two things in it: the first one is interface-styled locker/unlocker and the second one is an ability to use basic today plugins. Of course, we've got another software solutions to fix it, but their's problem is that they don't fit to manilla's interface conception. I've tried to solve this problems, and now i'd like to share my results. Dont kick me pls=))
Eferything posted below was made for using with this theme (with background from this one) with this clock pack. You can repaint it as you wish, consider this all an exampe or an idea=))
1. S2U2. S2U2 imho is the best solution for lock/unlock device. You can find it here. (My version is 0.86) We can use it as is, but iphone-like slider don't looks native to manilla2d. To make it looks more suitable i'd to fully repaint a slider, and this is what i got at the end.
{
"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_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Moving part is an icon of a padlock. When moving it looks strange of course, but the only another variant i got was without unlock animation at all. So this one better)) In archive you can find gfx folder from s2u2 (to install delete your current one, there's nedded some files not to be) and lang.ini file with fixed time format string (HH:mm instead of H:mm). This skin as it is is not suitable fot those who uses slide 2 answer opion, because i didn't paint it))
2. Today plugins. The main trouble of manilla2d as i guess is that there's no a widget to install another today plugins. To solve this problem i needed the following soft:
SecondToday - virtual today-like screen.
HomeScreen PlusPlus - today plugin that allows free positioning of elements,
MortScript - script language for pda.
spacer and spacer2 (attached) - two copies of today plugin what allows to make spacers between another plugins.
So what i've done:
1. Install this all;
2. Make a screenshot of manilla to set it to background of secondToday.
3. Run SecondToday and set spacer as a first plugin. The only way to configure spacers on SecondToday i found is edit the registry. So go to HKCU//software/pocketMax/Spacer and set height of it to 40 (maybe you like another height above your first plugin)
4. Connect in SecondToday below spacer plugins you need to be shown. Set spacer2 below them. Do nothing in tegistry for a while.
5. The most interesting. After the spacer2 set HomeScreenPlusPlus. Pot into its directory two setting sets from archive. The first one is to make setup easier, the second is working one. Open properties of HomeScreenPlusPlus -> advanced and select where sttoday_temp xml.
6. After that you need to change height of spacer2 to put tapzones on the backgoung images like it on the screen. This parameter is in HKCU//software/pocketMax/Spacer2. Don't forget to shut up second today after every try to see changes))
7. Put 5 scripts from archive into /Program Files/MortScript/scripts (or somewhere you want, but change paths in HomeScreenPlusPlus XMLs).
8. Try it. Of corse, sliding won't work, but tapping to zones will open vidget painted on background)))
9. Change sttoday_temp to sttoday it settings of HomeScreenPlusPlus.
10. Put a shortcut of SecondToday to programs widget of manilla.
11. Voila! You got something like below (Remember that you can't slide in this window)
I know it's not the best solution, but i don't want to change functionality to beauty)) This variant is a compromise i think)) In archive you can find S2U2 skin, MortScript scripts, HomeScreen++ themes and two spacers. Good luck in installation=))
ps. sorry my english))
Nice work!
Can you make a VGA version of your S2U2 theme?
another important feature about manilla 2d is NO notifications button or screen..u have to tap the taskbar to see them..
Wow

Jiles.....this is simply sweet!
Now I can have my own plugins on M2..love it
Give me a minute I need to finish configuration and I'll be back. I've a small request. I assigned second today to FtouchSL so i just need to swipe the bottom screen fast to open it. So I would like you to help me change motorscript files to point to specific tabs.
Jiles how can I change motorscripts files to assign the last icon to Programs, next one to Settings then the rest in order to Photos, maps and Internet?
2-Arturo- i'm in suspence about MortScript i'll try of course
2johanromijn thanks! about VGA sorry i'm afraid i have no device to try on.
ADD 2-Arturo- by series of taps only i'm afraid. As i remember, MortScript cannot slide, only tap (command MouseClick(x, y))
Thanks Jiles
Add2 about the swipes I was talking about this program http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=338143
I don't know if you heard about it but you can assign any aplication to "swipes" left, right, up, down etc. So I was saying that I assigned secondtoday to right swipe it's much more convenient because I don't have to access "Programs" tab to activate secondtoday. I just need to swipe somwhere on the screen from left to right to activate it. In other words you can open it from main screen of Manilla or from contacts screen etc. Try it out
Oh and thanks again for trying to change the motoscripts files. I appreciate it
Ok it took me a while but this is how my secondtoday looks like

2-Arturo- Hmmm.. I on the contrary try to disable FTouchFlo on the today screen, cause it makes its native slide lagging The best solution would be to place secondToday on not-working manilla widget "operator", but i hardly can guess how to do it

Yes that would be lovely...well maybe in future someone will figure it out...finger crossed
Really Amazing! I am impressed. Thanks for sharing the info and the needed files.
