Modify HTC Home Screen

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.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=61600&d=1197558837

First, I want to say hello and to thank all those who created icons for our devices. As so, I wanted to contribute my own version with a different take
from the glass button themes already out. Here I have a small sample of the icons I made and will soon be available with a link to this site so you all can enjoy. The icons will be already set with several options from 60x60 thru 16x16. The work is done for you.
If interested please be patient its coming soon and any feedback would be appreciated.
Thank you.

good job. i like it

Some of the most innovative icon sets I've seen. Keep up the good work

Can someone post a screenshot of their today screen using these icons. I won't be home until this evening to download and use these icons. Thanks in advance. These icons definitely raises the bar for us amateur icon makers, lol.

RS mirror please?

Plz Mirror.....
I keep getting "Download limit exceeded" can someone mirror?
**Update** Got'em, my web accelerator was pre-fetching......

I have updated the icons to included all shown on the 1st post... Hope you enjoy them, and if there is any request please feel free to ask. Thank you.
I also want to sincerely thank those who have posted a comment. Enjoy.

robosiris, here is one of my today screenshots. I guess I start it off.

S2W
Great work on the Icons, some of the best I've seen. I have a request if it would be possible to post a set in PNG format. I would like to use these in Spb Pocket Plus but need to convert from Icon to PNG. If it's not possible , I understand. I can find an Icon converter somewhere on the web I'm sure.
One Icon request; CorePlayer w/ YouTube
Thanks......

[UPDATE] Realize skin for Winterface! v1.2

Save as Windows Bitmap, 24bit colour depth, RGB colour profile and in the format R5,G6,B5 (available in Photoshop Advanced Options when you save as Bitmap).
Saving Alpha channel makes no difference that I can see.
You'll need to keep the original contact image as it matches the one in the "black.bmp" file and ensures the contact pictures show correctly once you've selected a single contact to dial.
Icons need to fit 42px x 42px squares on the grid
Hope that helps.
Thanks to bluemetalaxe for his excellent Realize icons:

[Update} skin move to this thread so I can keep track of it all!:

Very nice skin. Thank you very much.

Wooooooow.
I like it so much for my Winterface.
Black was good, but make me sad after a while.
Thanks

Great looking, but how did you get around the issue of the Contact pictures getting screwed up? Or did you?

nice skin, thanks

The key is to keep the existing contact image because Winterface seems to use it as a mask, so the image in black.bmp and icons.bmp have to be indentical

Wow! Works flawlessly. I guess the next step is figuring out how to change the background and how to choose icons for when you add files.
Superb job.

well done and good work dave. I still hope wintershell will be some times skinnable in a easier way (or in any way at all)
This is the working link for my icon set:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424678
By the way, i´ve done a quite nice s2u2-skin for wintershell too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2466622&postcount=70
Greetings.

Updated for WInterface 1.2
New skin includes some extra small icons such as unlock, calendar, ticks etc.
See first post

Its Cool Cuz You Can Mix And Match Default And Icon Sets From Diff Skins And They Work Well:d

please.
i really like the winterface. however, the 40dollars price tag is too much for a little app like this.
is there anyone who is taking matter into his own hand and build a free winterface?
i am pretty sure winterface developer borrowed larna's source code and made the winterface.
larna's source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=383109

Are you looking for latest Winterface 1.2 registered version?

this is an awesome theme and all but my fav people tab wont display my fav contacts....is any one else having this problem, i used config tool to take away the people tab cause this is a hot f'n theme, any suggestions??

wow amazing
for me cant change wallpaper
calender is not in English
any way
very cool

just exelent...

Great theme. Thanks for all your work.

Weather
Does anyone know how they got the weather to display the next 4 days within the tf3d tab instead of having to go to a different screen?

Hey - just installed it, it looks amazing. I had some issues that were the purpose of this post, but I reflashed my ROM, made a few setting changes and tried again. Issues resolved.
For the person that asked about wallpaper, I think that because this uses a panoramic wallpaper, you have to actually overwrite manila files to change it. Search "pano" or panorama.
Flashing to a ROM that uses HD manila will allow the four days of weather on the main screen. If there are other ways to do it, I don't know about them.

Hia thank for your work. I've a problem in fact in home my clock remain on "am 0.00" all time. Why? How can i resolve?

somone know where to find the font that he uses in the theme? i can't find it anywhere, help if u can, thx in advance!!

Is this mirrored somewhere that doesnt require a registration? Looks awesome but I dont need another site spamming my box.

Hi
