Does a bar like the Macintosh one exist??
Look at the link to see the picture of what I'm talking about...
http://www.informaticafriuli.com/wp-content/uploads/Ubuntu/mac_linux.png
It would be very nice......

Yes, it is called the sytem tray.
Have a search for Traylaunch or BatteryStatus, both of these allow you to place links to programs in the tray. The tray is right alligned and only displays small icons.
Claunch is more tweakable but you may struggle to place it at the bottom of the screen without using other fixed height today plugins.

Great, I'm searching for something like that...
But I need it for Windows Mobile, not Windows XP....

I wanna something like this:

It's wisbar advance and wisbar desktop. For themes look at their forum, you can find lot of OSX themes.

I tried the traylauncher of batterystatus, and it works well...
but is there the possibility to have the icon zoomed when it is selected?

Alt-Tab anyone?

Hi,
the PHM site seems to be down for some time now, could anyone put Alt-Tab here?
Lars
If its included in the PowerToys grab it here:
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/de/index.php?soft=766
ok, I could extract the .msi from there, inside were three cab's of which I could extract lots of small files, though those had weird extensions like .018. I tried renaming one of them to .exe, after that it hat even an icon, but it said it's no PPC executable.
Are those single files also packed somehow?
Lars
edit: I tried every file in that cab now, some of them are executable, though none of them is Alt-Tab. I even installed the whole Application, also no Alt-Tab to find...
use wisbar and setup one of your buttons to do alt-tab...thats what i do

vista theme?

is there a patch for the cingular 8525 to make it look like vista? i've seen the skinning stuff, looks to involved ( to many programs ). thanks LuXx
I am running wisbar advanced, and I have a great vista theme that I would be happy to upload, or I can try and find where I originally found it. doesn't take up too many resources, and it has a _ton_ of customization

I have one that I'm using that doesn't require installing another app that hogs up memory. This is a simple Vista "aero" type theme and a nice dialer to match. I'm using them now and I like 'em. I think I might have even gotten them from the forum, or maybe not. Anyhow, enjoy!
do you have screen shots? What is the tsk file and how do we use it?
Thanks!

Sorry, no screen shots handy right now, but all you have to do with the .tsk file is copy it to your \Windows directory. Then, go ahead and change your theme like you normally would. (Start --> Settings --> Today)

I see from your Avatar that your sporting the new Hermes headset. It's nice 'cos it doesn't require the Bluetooth connection - you just tuck the Hermes inside next to your ear and away you go; and with Wifi on it keeps your ear warm as well. I've heard a rumour that there's a dual core Hermes with twin hand-sets that keeps both ears warm. Bit itchy though??

Oh yes. You hit the nail on the head there. It's almost a full body headset, as you can see. Quite cozy in the winter... and very stylish to boot.

Not sure what the problem is, Zgembo was able to get it extracted and working. Are you just extracting the whole folder onto your desktop (or somewhere) and then moving it over to the phone?
Exactly, simple as cake... Just copy two file to any folder of your phone, and run it... Dialer (bigger .cab file) is just an option, instals as standard application... Skin (.tsk file) is very compact, and just double click it to add it to phone's themes... You can delete these files after installation...
does anyone know any drawback to the ETEN dialer besides losing video call as an option?

on this one you also loose smart dial... but its a kick a$$ looking dialer skin
Maybe someone with some skills (definitely not me) can put the smart dial and video option into this dialer skin. I think this was originally created for the 8125. Shogunmark... I know you're a pro. Whatcha think?

i can build wizard roms and cabs, etc.. but when it comes to *.tsk and dialer skins, i will admit defeat.. i have tried at those and failed so many times.. its not that i couldnt create them, its that they looked horrible.. i am seriously lacking in artistic skills.. i might look into anyway since i am dying to start cooking roms but the bootloaders on these phones right now is a major roadblock.. we will see what time has in store for me
Excellent phone skin! I love it!
i found the site where the nice dialer was from:
http://www.paulya.com/dialerskins.htm
he appears to have E-TEN dialers with Smartdial (scroll down to the bottom round classic) It states the "Blackglass" has smartdial. Anyone try that out on a TyTN?
Anyone know how to fix the AeroMobile.tsk theme to support the Portrait mode? When I slide out my keyboard, the skin should strech but doesn't. I tried to fix it with MS Theme Generator, but no luck... Any suggestions? I'm using Pocket PC 2002 Theme Generator V2, as that seems to be the last release from MS.

Hermes Control Panel Applets
Hey,
I have reviewed the list of control panel applets and tested them. I will attach all of the working HERMES applets. All of these will display the default icons used in the control panel. If you change these to .txt files you can see the links.
Thats want I want, what I really really want

Baby this is SWEET

My attempts at some ActionScreen graphics

Version 2. I wanted to make it look a little less "busy" so I gave it more of a see-through effect and each button is very slightly different, fitting in with a complete screen image, if you see what I mean.
Also matched the ROM colour better.
B/W version added as an alternative
Unzip files and copy to /Windows using TotalCommander or something similar.
As usual, every button you press on your PDA is at your own risk ;-)
Hope you like them

I like what you have done so I did as instructed... now how to I get it? Sorry for the obviously not smart question but I've been up since 7am yesterday and it's now 915am... yes time for bed! My brain isn't working!
have you already installed HTC ActionScreen?

Do that first, otherwise you don't actually have the application ;-)

Hey DaVince - where did you get those HTC Home icons from? They look great!
which launcher is that below the htc home plugin? I'm currently using claunch, but that one looks good.
Plugins shown in order:
1. HTC Home
2. Quick Launcher
3. Windows Mobile 6.1 Getting Started
4. Device Owner
It's the WM 6.1 ROM for the Touch Dual by tom_codon. Once officially released, I'm sure somebody will extract them and post it here.
Good Work....
Tks for sharing!!!
Thanks for sharing
U the man. I copied all AS files excepts for the AS_Bkgd_1.brn file and found a very nice result. Your new graphic on top of the old one. Very nice. Tried it.
Thanks again.
what am I doing wrong? I installed the app, copied files to windows and still showing the old skin.
Black?

Please, it is possible to create black version of this awesome graphics? I am lame for this graphical stuff
I'll see if I have time
See first post for b/w version
also.. anyone have a better icon for Action Screen app?
The default is only that boring white square
To replace the icon
I think you have to use a Resource Editor.
Correct me if I'm wrong somebody?
Changing the icon of a .lnk file

I was wondering this exact thing the other day!
edit the .lnk file to have this:
48#"\Windows\HTCActionScreen.exe"?<Path of icon or DLL>,<index of that icon>
Go to http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5154243&messageID=9583160 for more details. They talk about it in the last 2 or 3 posts.
@davehutch - I love the Action Screen graphic. I'm using it and pumped!
Nice graphics. Thanks a lot
