What's a good small app launcher that can mimic the LG Buttons?

I made this theme from Ultimate Launch and rlToday.
{
"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"
}
Although I know rlToday can make buttons, too, I need a separate launcher to replace the small rows of buttons at the very bottom (WM5 New Menu, Phone, Calendar, and Contact)
I want to place it outside of UL so when I spin the UL cube, this last row of buttons don't move. Any ideas?

You could use any other launcher like iLauncher. But probably it will not support the same icons or layout options as UL. Alternatively (and if you don't mind that the icons DO move when you move the UL cube) you can use "combined Tabs" in UL. This means you turn every tab of the UL cube into a combined tab. In the upper part every combined tab you put what you have on the UL cube tabs now. To the second, lower part of every combined tab you assign your four bottom icons. So when you move the cube the lower part will also move but will show the same links/icons on very side=tab of the cube. I tried this at least for one tab and I'm not sure if it works with same links/icons on more than one tab. At least for links it should. For today plugins it will not, I think.
Play a little bit with the UL settings and you will find out how if works for you.
Cheers,
Derek.

I was thinking about that, too. The problem is that if I don't have a lot of icons in one of the cube to fill up the space, the four bottom buttons will move up.
But anyways, I did find Battery Status from that Aurora theme to be pretty useful. I played around with the theme and kinda made it into my own. Now it won't rotate w/ UL

I'm pretty sure you can somehow prevent the buttons from moving up with the UL settings. But anyway, you already made it. I think I will try BS as well.

[THE] Transparant (Glass) slider! And 2 Clocks

I've made a transparant slider. (without icons on it)
transparant (Glass) Slider! (Thnx NisseDILLIGAF for this files.)
transparant Bottom bar
transparant b.g. bricks
{
"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"
}
zip files
I've also made a Digital (Sprint) Clock and a Analog Clock.

Clock and slider and lower icons seems less whitish, but hte TF3D big icons seem still white - not changed?
I think it might be easier to show pre and post difference (not only clock but "mensen" for example)

I did not change any icon on this theme. (so you can use your own)
I only have made a new slider, now it's fully transparant. It's not showing any icon on top of it. (only under)
And i've made the bottom bar and b.g bricks transparant. Thats all.

We always wanted to get rid of Diamond blackness and you are giving us a piece of black hole But it looks really great. Im considering downloading it. Much better would be to reverse the colors. White would be the base and then use some colors on the icons...

Hi pamas, could you you please tell me which files are just for the slider, I have been looking for that. Or could you even better just post a zip with only the transparent slider, thanks.

Done that, look at the first post..

I see it there now, very fast. Thanks very much.

I recommend this slider
This slider looks great and works perfectly with my theme, I hated the old one it looks so ugly. So I thoroughly recommend this customisation to all. Thanks again pamas,

Your welcome. Thnx!
I've edited it a little bit. Moved the slider a few pixels down.

Ok will try the new one as well.

After installing the bottom bar and slider my htc is acting really strange. I have soft reset it three times. It doesnt allow me to type in my pin password and doesnt even load touchflo3d

Thx
The new slider works fine for me and looks great.

Removing them now my htc is back to normal!

my touchflo wouldn`t load either?? i have unloaded it and now back to normal. shame i like the idea of no backing to the icons

Yeah, i dont like having the menu bar's i want to remove them but this seems to be the only way But doesnt work.

Great thanks
By any chance you could create a semi transparent (glass-like, doesnt need shades) bar?
just the bar, icons not needed.
Great, thanks

Same on this side, touchflo will not start anymore, after removing this it is back to normal. Hope there will be any solution.
By the way, the problem is couse the tranparant slider. The transparant bottembar is working fine.

Maybe some people are having manilla build issues I have 1.2.34837.3_1813.6 at the bottom of my settings tab and the slider is great for me. I have Dutty's 2.2 rom (great).

Just installed the transparent bottom bar .cab on my TouchPro to add to over a dozen other Manilla mods... works really well.....!
Thanks for sharing pamas.....
.

It's a beautiful work pamas!
Thanks!
But it doesn't work with call history tab (TF3D doesn't want to launch) and Black_HTC_ColourTabs (the standard tabs re-apear...)
Maybe you could make something?

[REQ] Semitransparent bottom bar

I would like to have semitransparent bottom bar on all tabs and not only on Home tab. Can somebody please post it here cause I don't know how to edit it.

I try to do a cab for u i hope it works

TNX a lot. This is what I need. When I tried the fully transparent one, I could see letters on some tabs mixing with menu icons. Didn't like it.
Thank you once again, bro.

That is really good! If it's possible, do you think you could make it as the home tabs transparency? without the blackscale? so they match equally?
That would be terrific! And maybe extend the transparency down to the menu bar?
Cheers mate!

I have done a cab file for my own transparant slider, if u have any ideas for a nother slider, just send me a pm

up to to the top

is it possible to create a cab that can make semitransparent bottom and top bar?

yes i think so, i can fix it later, i have a lots of homeworks to do tonight

some pics howe your semitransparent bottom bart looks like would be great!

Attention with that one, it kinda ****ed up my TouchFlo. Installed it, rebooted, and then it only said "tap here to start touch flo 3d" and if tapped it said "starting touch flo" for some seconds and then reverted back to "tap here..."
After uninstallation it works again but keeps asking me to tap the screen to start TouchFlo when I turn on the device which really sucks. Any way to get it back to automatic start?

Great mod! Now my TF3D is perfect: transparent top bar, semi transparent bottom bar, transparent flip clock, tranparent program tab, background image in every tab and change the background image every 30 mins automatically . It's better than iPhone !!!

strange then why doesn't it work for me? I got official 1.93 rom installed, and with the cab my touchflo won't start anymore.
Is there any other cab like this one floating around? I don't want to test the other cab from ricky, the first one in this thread cause its also from him and I expect similar problems.
But, what the real problem is with transparent bars is that you can see the text of the settings tab behind the slider bar, and I had a completely transparent bar before and in the programs tab it cut off the 4th row of buttons about halfway behind the sliderbar, the same was for the canvas' of pictures in the photo tab. isn't this partly visible also here, with a semi transparent bar?
you know what REALLY would rock? a kind of smaller sliderbar, about half thick so that it matches with the cutoff line of the pictures and the program buttons. Is something like that possible or even done?
I mean something like this, the reddish tint I added means the solid slider bar and above it should be transparent.

Bump.
I would be interested in a semi-transparent bottom bar with the same transparency as the one for the Home tab, but haven't got a clue how to go about it. Can anyone assist please? The .cab posted by RichardTenggren is semi-transparent, but is darker than the one on the Home tab.
I am aware that there are plenty of fully transparent ones, but I would prefer a semi-transparent version.

[THE] Sandeman Plastic TF3D Theme v0.1

I gave this theme creating thingy a try.. And since I like it a lot, I thought I'd share it.
I like very subtle changes, so I took the standard icons and used photoshop to make them appear a bit like shiny plastic icons. The only things changed are the 20 icons, nothing more. The other tweaks (no curtains, crystal clock, etc) I used from other posters here at XDA.
I hope you like it. If you do, feel free to use it, rebuild it, change it, whatever.

Installation instructions:
- Disable TF3D
- Install .cab file
- Enable TF3D
Yes, it's that easy
Please note I have built this based on the standard icon set on my phone, I can't (and won't) guarantee that this will work on your phone. I'm running the latest stock Dutch ROM (2.03.404.3) with TF3D v3.0.
Edit: Created 3 Clocks that (sort of ) match this theme:
Sandeman Plastic Clock v0.1
Sandeman Plastic Clock 2 v0.1
Sandeman Plastic Clock 3 v0.1

Nicely done dude

Really beautiful!
We would like a clock!

I was afraid someone would say that
I had thought of that myself, but I can't seem to get the clock quite right... But it annoys me enough to keep trying
If I manage to create something decent I'll post it here

Nice job!!!

I tried to create something that sort of matches the icons... I'm not quite happy with it but maybe you are... For now I'm sticking with the crystal clock
Installation instructions (and disclaimers ) are the same as the main icon theme in the first post...
Edit, included the cab in the first post.

beautiful, but it would be wonderful if there were only numbers!

So true. Since the slider tabs on the bottom doesn't have the background, the clock would look better without the background or you could add the background to the slider tabs to match the clock.
Either way it a very nice theme. Nice work.

Hmmm, yes that's what's wrong with it... I couldn't really put my finger on it
I think putting the clock's background behind the icons will become quite messy (also the colors are too close). I'll have a look if I can create 2 new ones this weekend.
One with a transparent background (like the crystal one) and one with a black background (for everyone that doesn't use a dark wallpaper)...

new clocks?

Nope, I have barely touched my computer this weekend.
I hope to find some time this week

Wow... awesome theme.

Good job and the clock is very suitable for the theme
THX for sharing

nice work dude!
you didn't just put a plastic wrap filter on the icons did you? seems like cheating..

LOL, plastic wrap was indeed one of the (4 or 5) actions, but definitely not the only one. You're free to try and reproduce them
There was some embossing, a couple of levelling actions and color replacing involved too
The clock was a lot harder. I won't bore you with the details

Ok, I created two new clocks. The first one (Sandeman Plastic Clock 2 v0.1) is the same as the previous one, only without the backgrounds and I've lightened the numbers a bit. Personally I don't like it, but maybe someone does...
The second one (Sandeman Plastic Clock 3 v0.1) is the same, but this time I stole the transparent background from the crystal clock.
This one I do like... A lot, using it right now
Also added to the start post, including the .cab files.

[IDEA]WM6.5 Easy Hide Titanium

I'm not thinking something like my snapshots I photoshopped up would be possible, but it would be nice to have an easy-hide button for Titanium rather than going into the Today screen settings.
I guess the mockups are something I might have if I was a Microsoft 6.5 Engineer. Basically I just copied the Hide/Show Desktop Button from Windows 7, added some Arrows from the Lock Screen, and added the Lock Screen clock at the bottom.

The idea is really cool

I'd like that!!

If this were the default lockscreen it would be much more original that than the iPhone S2U that Microsoft is trying to copy.
Think, if your alerts could shoot out of the arrow part and you could slide them up or down to retrieve them. To unlock the phone, just drag the arrows to the right. All with smooth animations of course. The arrow part could simply change color to let you know you have new alerts. When you tap it, the number of alerts slides out along with the individual alert slider.

I never thought of making it a lock screen. I guess if someone were to create a whole new lock screen app like that, it would be possible to make one that was like my designs... But I am still interested in the idea of easily hiding Titanium.

Good idea.
It looks like S2U2.

i would love to get this on my phone if any one can develop it haha...great idea....... love it.... lets hope some one can make it...

support this great idea

Looks like something that might be available on "7". But would be awesome if we could get it here and now. +1 for notifications linked to the appropriate panel, ie. you get an email: the email hidden tab would blink/change color/show email icon and you could slide that tab out to check it.. brilliant concept.

I'll attempt to work on the notification concept a bit in some more photoshop mockups. But thank you everyone for your good feedback.

such a simple idea....absolutely brilliant. I would love to have this

the closest thing to this now would be s2u2 actually. just a matter of skinning it to look like titanium. and you can slide and titanium would show!!! i know not what you had in mind but hey it's the closest you can get =D

i like it...but maybe make it a lock buten?? sory for my englisch

cool idea!!

it would be much nicer with this in touch in my phone

Nice idea!

very nice!
GR8 IDEA
but... mayde, why not it 3D?

Cool idea

Yeah that is a very good idea !!!

great Idea if someone could find a way to add page to Clock PANEL then You could just creat an exe to lock phone right?
