I like parts of the HTC Home Screen but there are portions of SPB Mobile Shell that I like better.
I would like to combine the two like the following screenshot.
{
"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"
}
I have gotten so I can put the SPB Mobile Shell plugin at the bottom (see screenshot below) but I can't figure out if it is possible to remove part of the HTC Homescreen Plugin.
Does anyone know if this is possible OR if their are plugins that will mimic the Clock and the Notification bar? If it will take a lot of work I wouldn't mind donating hosting or funds.
mot possilbe. at present there's no way to change the size of text or the items that are part of it, that's hardcoded into the dlls. Only thing that cn change is the fonts and icons
Now, you could taken it down to one tab by using either HTC Home Customizer or the newer versions of it add a nother tab in settings > today control panel. So you can take it down to the HOME tab only, that will leave you with what you want (but the House icon is still there, that's the best I can do...)
Don't know where to tell you to look but its here somewhere can't remember where I got it. I use HTC Plus instead of the Home Plug here it is with MobileShell
well then is it possible to create a custom today plugin like HTC Home?
you may want to check out rlToday, there are some really great skins for it. there are even some HTCHome inspired ones; just check out the rlToday forums.

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.

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.

Looks good, I like it.
Very nice.
Having just gotten my Mogul, may i ask what you did to achieve that look? Was it simply a matter of loading the HTC Home today screen and then tweaking it? Or were there other steps/apps involved?
All insights greatly appreciated, thanks.
go to:

Thanks for the tips, very much appreciated.
Next newbie question, anyone want to recommend a good Theme Editor/Creator tool for WM6?
how do you change the color of the top and bottom bars? I have the green, and the other default ones, but I'd like black.
Thanks!
how did you get the battery meter on the taskbar above? i'd rather have that than displaying time twice

well i love the launcher and i have figur. out a way to not only bring in my own icons pics for the home keys that you can customize your display more to you. all you have to do is take and open the icons in photo shop and size the pic you want to what is being replaced then move it over as a layer and then place it and del. the icon you do not want and edit your photo that you want. then move it back over to the file on the 6800 and click yes to replace and there it is your own icon.
you can make your own icons and replace the ones that you get with pics too. that i have found out today
1) Is it possible to change date position? I would move it to the same bar of operator logo? (as the arrow indicates)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2) is it possible to change the colour of this 2 windows mobile bars? It would be great to make them transparent
3) can I change the default operator logo
with a much colored one like this one on this pic? (yes I know is an iphone screencap )
same here. i think the date looks better at the top left as it was on the diamond. unfortunately, i have no idea how to change this though.
You can change the clock using cabs that were made for the Diamond, not sure about any of the other things. Maybe it's possible to edit some of the manila files.

Where did you get the cab for the transparent clock?
you cannot make the wm bars tranasparant that i have seen. You can change their color my using a theme in WM (not to be confused with a theme in the TF3D app).
I've the same question's
now is it possible?
sorry for thread diggig, any solutions yet? i'm figuring how to move the date up
Changing Operator Logo.
Steps to change Operator Logo:
1.Find 256x64.png file in your windows folder and edit it with your own logo.
2.Replace the original file with the modified one (Use Resco File Explorer).
3.Restart.
Find the attached image, i changed my STARHUB logo to my name.
Would really like to know how to move the date too!! Its much better up the top!

Hi shamsul,
but I can't found that "256x64.png" file.......
I've made an application that will replace the theme's background with a background of your choice.
The advantages of using my program:
- unlike on your device itself, you can zoom in and out of pictures and get just the part YOU want on your devices today screen.
- you get a seperate part of the picture for both portrait and landscape mode, not the same one like windows does (either cropped or tiled).
It's an application specifically designed for the XPERIA but it can be used with other devices with the same resolution (or if I make small modifications which consist in users being able to select the preferred resolution).
You can load a picture, modify it to your wishes and then either save it directly onto your device or make a backup which you can use for later on your desktop computer.
Update: You can now change the fontcolor of your todayscreen and start menu, as well as changing your devices base color.
For example the color for your menu's and background colors for standard windows applications like messaging, etc...
If there are things you dislike or would like to see changed; functionality you would like me to add, please tell me.
Note:
- All 3 files are needed to run the application.

Does this work only for the Today screen? Or also in Manilla?

I have no experience with manilla, I don't even know what it is ^_^!
If manilla uses the files windows provides to use as a background, it will (like stwater_800_480), otherwise it won't.
wow, glad to see a nifty little program like this. can't wait to try it out, thanks for the development!
I've added some features which now makes it a basic theme editing program as well.
Also I have bad news..
my x1 fell in my cup of soup a few days ago T_T so I turned it in for repairs. I got lucky after like 20 times I could flash my old ROM and SPL back so they can't complain about that..
Will it change the background only of the Today Screen?
No changes in the screen of the Sony Ericsson Panel?
(I'd like a program to change the Sony Ericsson Panel Background, doing it manually is a little tedious)
will this creator also run with windows mobile 6.5?
great thanks for development!!
Loved the original idea from here:

Its basicly a different visual clock, to read the hours see the left vertical columns and for the minutes see the right 5-rows columns.
The PDF on the site above explains it better...
To use:
---------
- 5 colors to choose from, just press the bottom bar to change colors.
- If you prefer a 12-hour clock, simply click the left numbers after 13h.
- Exit with enter (keypad) or by pressing the top-right area.
- See the "normal" digital clock and date by pressing anywhere else on the screen.
Notes:
-------
- Needs FLASH 7, if it doesnt exit properly, you dont have it.
- Attached the CAB, already with the WM6.5 icon on install.
- Also added a separated swf file, to see it run on your NOKIA, PC or Throttle Launcher..
Enjoy.
Nice idea
Love it! thanks!
it would be cool if it can be a screensaver.
thanks twolf!
WQVGA issue omnia
just wondering if there's a way to make the excess screen on my omnia to default BLACK- then your app would be awesome
maybe even add function buttons - there's some promising update potential
awesome clock - would it be possible to simulate the look of a recessed L.E.D.?
looks good on my armband at the CLUB!!!
Great...very cool with the color options!
Sorry, the software I use for the EXE only allows VGA/QVGA, he doesnt even allow any extra options for the size or screen color.
Use flash pimp clock
I need a macromediaflash for use it. someone can help me?
found it
Yes, yes my first app for the htc diamond.
it`s fantastic........... I`m cry
Standalone app?
Just wondering... what is the program you are using for these standalone apps? I could probably use the same thing to make my own FlashGadgets play as standalones, which would make them work across a broader series of device platforms. Please check out my thread, and tell me what you think. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630985
