Since the mods for 2.0 don't seem to work for 2.1, please place your MS2.1 themes and mods here!
Thanks all!
Thanks to all you smart guys.....
Can't wait to see the new skins with the cool VM and Data icons.
If there is an easy way to add these new features on the existing skins... I can try changing the ones I have.
Thanks again...

mmm why do you say so?
I've "updated" my 2.0 to 2.1 and there are no problem with skins... (using blue ray one)
They don't work in the sense that the new icons, voicemail, data connection, don't show in the new skins. Other than they they work just fine.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
sorry...
didn't see that icons...
data connection icon - what we know so far and fixed qa_layout.dat
Nice to see a new thread. So lets freshen up about the newest data connection icon.
Whats been updated in MS2.1
- Professional now screen shows the data connection icon when data is in progress or connected to ActiveSync/WMDC
- qa_operator_small.dat has been updated which includes the *.bmp for data icons
- LockScreen.xml which includes the updated source code for qa_operator_small.dat as shown below
Code:
LockScreen.xml
<Layout Name="Detailed">
<Plugin Class="Spb.LSP.Operator" Name="Operator" Skin="qa_operator_small" DoubleSkin="va_operator_small" MiddleSkin="ma_operator_small" BoldFont="n">
<Point Name="Spacing" X="5" Y="0"/>
<Int Name="ShowConnectionStatus" Value="1"/>
</Plugin>
Here: Fix for 9 Button Layout
- you can now get 9 menu buttons and as well as the data connection icon when data is in progress.
- only thing replaced in this fixed qa_layout.dat is the launcher.xml which is the previously modded for 9 menu buttons
- may not work with some modded skins as they do not include the Professional now screen layout
RoboDad's PointUI

RoboDad PointUI Theme
I second that, with some other updates:
1. Eliminate the tab buttons, since the theme is gesture enabled. We can use the additional space for something else.
2. Redesign battery and signal icons. No need to have them big in home layout, small like in other layouts is just fine.
3. I don't see the need to keep MRU layout there. It would be better if it is replaced by task/appointment plugin such as Pocket Informant.
Thank you, RoboDad. Now you know, your fans are getting demanding.

I disagree with #1 and #2. The tab buttons and the big battery and signal icons are aesthetically pleasing, as particularly evident in the themes from kulet78 and RoboDad. If I wanted lots of small icons and a cluttered look, I'd stick with the default WM today page.
And personally, I've grown to like the MRU page in kulet's layout. Swipe one way and I have my frequently used programs. Swipe the other way, and I have the full menu page. But because it basically comes down to one gesture versus two gestures to get to any program I have, I don't feel strongly about MRU one way or the other. That being said, there's already a calendar page (nice move to enhance the look of the home page), and I haven't seen anyone successfully incorporate pocket informant (or PocketBreeze...).
Calm
Good morning,
Enlight of the new 2.1 version, I have created a theme that will include the voicemail icon. If you may have noticed in my previous themes, I don't use the "small" data connection icons so this theme would not have it also. In my future themes I may include it but we'll see. For now, here's my first 2.1 version theme I call "Calm".
Note: I have grouped tabs into 3 different MAIN (bottom icons) sections:
Programs Section
> Launcher
> MRU
Clock Section
> Now
> Calender
Contacts Section
> 3 pages of contact pages
Gesture is limited to pages within each MAIN section since I grouped everything using xml code (used subforms within subforms). To go to a MAIN section, simply tap the related bottom icon. Each page within MAIN section will have an indicator at the bottom showing which page is currently displayed. Lastly, which ever page you're in before going to a different MAIN section, going back to previous MAIN section will show last page selected. For example, you're in Programs > MRU, then you tapped on Clock, when you tap on Programs again, it will display MRU screen not Launcher screen which is the first page.
I apologize for the lenghty intro, I figured this will answer a few questions before they're asked.
As always, this includes today tsk and S2U2 wallpapers (non-animated). It's also support landscape mode.

Outstanding! The design is getting more and more innovative. Just as I'm getting used to one theme, a new, improved one comes along. Now I just have to make more friends to fill up three pages of contacts.
Kulet,
Which tab is listed as Tab1? I use the Spb watcher to automatically return me to the Now screen whenever my Today screen comes up, but on these themes with the calender Now screen listed as 1 and the time Now screen listed as 3, I'm brought to the wrong now screen (calender instead of time).
Thanks,
Adam

Kulet78!!!!! Your work just gets better and better!!! I've been waiting for a good theme based on 2.1 before downloading, and I know have a worthy replacement of your latest Blue Ray.
Question: The small dots that represent the subform, is that part of the background graphic? Before Blue Ray I was using the Russian theme with text buttons - and I found that the contact pages with names (VIP, Friends, Work) was very handy. Can those dots be text?
Oh yeah... And a 10th icon for something besides games??
Thanks... And again I am soooo impressed.

This is nearly what I am dying to get. It will be perfect if the forth page integration of pocket informant. And the Now page is integrated with PocketAlarm.
Thank you Ijinsane.
im pretty happy with standard skin but does someone have one that would get rid of the X button and/or add another page of something useful instead? I see a lot of these skins have a 4th page... so a 4th page plus get rid of X on others...
new version compatable..

Version 1.011 changes:
- signal bars fixed
- Program "Clear" button moved to allow re-assignment without clearing.
Version 1.01 bug fixes:
- signal bars tweaked for accuracy
- favorite up/down buttons fixed
New CAB and new EXE + system.png added.
If you have already installed and don't want to lose your settings, replace your MusicFlo.exe and place system.png in \Icons folder of MusicFlo.
Okay, couple of updates:
New status bar that not only displays information, but provides new functionality.
Status bar displays: Signal strength (up to 5 bars), Carrier name, Wifi Power status, BT Power status, Data connection status, ring profile (on, vibrate, off), and battery level
If you tap on:
Signal strength up to Wifi - opens CommManager.exe
BT to Ringer Profile - cycles through profiles (on -> vibrate -> off)
Battery - Opens Powerexe.exe
Home screen now displays next Calendar Appointment. Tap it to open calendar.exe, OR add <Calendar ref="Path to Your Calendar Program"/> to data.xml for it to open a different Calendar program
Tap on the Slider in the Home Position to open TaskMgr.exe, OR add <TaskMan ref="Path to Your Task Manager"/> to data.xml to have it open your own task manager.
Also added a "Clear" Button for Contacts and Programs that will reset the selected button.
Bug Fixes:
- Memory Leaks
- Program Button image duplication
- SMS error on newly assigned contacts
- Other system bugs
- Smaller icons for better performance
- Battery Meter
Next update will include:
- Skinnable Clock on Home Screen
Alright, I've had a couple of weeks to work out the bugs and to implement most of the suggestions you guys gave me.
So, here is the new and improved MusicFlo
Get Icon from most programs
Suppports png transparency for Program Icons
Fully customizable graphics (all pics found in \Program Files\MusicFlo)
Size and position of Program and Contact buttons now on config.xml
Try it out and let me know what you think!
The CAB will overwrite the original MusicFlo, so no uninstall necessary.
You still need the two HTC apps in your Windows folder if you don't have them already.
Not on video: Open S2P by clicking the album art on the Control Panel.
Original Post:
Making Cube Skins is fun for a while, but then you realize that you are just prettying up someone elses program, and who knows what changes that program will go through in just a few months. So I decided to give programming my own "Cube" a shot.
I listened to what people were asking for with the Cubes. Here's what most of you said you wanted:
- more icons
- a changable background
- more than one contact page
- web favorites
- general information on one side
So I set out with that in mind, MusicFlo has four individual screens.
One for General info which includes:
- a TouchFlo 2 style clock
- notifications for new email, text messages, missed calls, and voicemail
One for programs with TouchFlo style interface (up to 9 pages of 9 buttons each)
One for contacts with TouchFlo Style interface (up to 9 pages of 6 contacts each)
One for Favorites with the ability to take a screenshot of the web page for "Visual Favorites" (up to 9 pages of 4 Favs each)
The configuration is built into each screen. Simply tap and hold to make the buttons start to shake, then tap the button you would like to configure, or tap the background to change the background image and change how many program, contact, or favorite buttons you would like.
This is my first programming work, so please let me know what you think. I am pleased with what I have accomplished. I know it's not much compared to other programs out there, but if you're looking for a simple, fast, non-memory-hogging FREE Application/Contact/Favorite launcher, I think you'll like MusicFlo.
I want to thank up2no6ood for creating the icon style for MusicFlo. Without him the icons would be boring.
Technical stuff:
MusicFlo can be edited directly from the Program, or by editing data.xml in the \Program Files\MusicFlo folder. The very first entry is called "Browser". Change it if you use something other than Pie for your web browsing.
Only add buttons through the program itself. Adding entries in the xml file won't do anything, and it could mess you up later on, so only add buttons (Progs, Contacts, Favs) through the program interface. I'll try and get a YouTube video up later for a walk-through.
ENJOY! I know I am!
P.S. - For quick access I use AEButton Plus to change the long press of my dpad button to MusicFlo.
P.P.S.- Added Icon Pack (MusicFlopng.zip)
P.P.P.S. - To make MusicFlo open with a swipe up (ROMs with Cubes only) move MusicFlo.exe to Windows folder and rename to Biotouch.exe
Update 5/27/08 - fixed functionality for programs on Storage Cards
can i tell u something bro it look sux try some better graphix bro but its features are good this is my review

Not yet. I'll work on it, though. Thank you both for your thoughts. I worked so much on the actual program that the graphics were more of an afterthought. I'll work on those as well.
If you want a hand with the graphics
Very Promising for a first App.
And as you see it's interesting enought to get people offering help.
Looks very nice, I'll definitely be following the development here. I don't have the time to try it right now, but maybe you can give us a quick video on it to show us how smooth it is.
Just dling, looks promising, what I would love and I am not sure if this is possible would be if it could be a today plugin, then I could include it in UL or even on its own. Will post my review after trying. WOOO HOOOO more toys to play with.
Simple and effective!
This application has much potential! I love this ap. Everything you need in one program
seems good but graphices need some development,I will try
not bad functions but looks kinda complicated..
Best part about the graphics is that you can customize it in any way you want. All of the graphic files end up in \My Documents\MusicFlo, so if you don't like it, you can change it! But yeah, if anyone wants to help me out in the graphics dept. I would be grateful.
Also, I just updated the CAB in the first post. People were not able to launch program from their Storage Cards. Fixed. If you've already installed, just download this zip and replace your exe with the new one. That way all of your button changes stay.

I like this applications alot, but I wish instead of the favorites would be a weather, I can totally change all the graphics for u to a real Diamond look but you need to change thesize of the bottom bar and selected icons in ur source code. also I couldnt find the files for missedcall, call history and such, I would like to change those as well. pm me if you wanna work something together.
with poorlyduck's graphics skills , the looks will be unrivaled
Interesting application.
Once the visual style gets pimped up, it'll be a very good htc home replacement.
Sascha
Musicman,
Congratulations. Great start for your first app.
You have offers of help from PoorlyDuck and Oseven on the graphics front so this is bound to be a winner!!
Bookmarked this thread to keep an eye on developments.
Well done and keep going.
WB
does it support vga?
looks good, and is easy customizable not like pointui or mobile shell. But definitly need more functions like weather and maybe some animations if this is possible ?
And what i miss at most is a fullscreen version !!!!
Why is it called MusicFlo if it has nothing to do with music?
a good questionn
where is the music tab !!!!

I would never close my now screen before either until i started using rumball's animated weatherpanel skin. (which is awesome by the way.)
I was actually thinking of doing different layouts, like mru tab instead of close tab or eliminate the fourth tab entirely and just leave 3 tabs. all depending on comments.
this looks really good
thank you for ur share

Awesome theme - Great Work - but on the now screen my carrier "verizon wireless" runs into the clock- how can I fix this? Thanks again.

well actually, my idea was to do a different layout because as much as i like the diamond look too, i like to change looks every now and then. maybe after mods and colors i plan to do, i can try something out to implement diamond into it.

I wanted to change some aspects though, I will be loosing the close button and adding an mru tab instead. The extra mail icons on the contas and program tabs will go as well.
Look for a post later today or tomorrow!

Here is a preview of my update of Windows Field for Mobile Shell. It is for QVGA, WQVGA and 240x240 and is portrait only. See post #2 below for VGA and WVGA preview.
Preview2(3 for QVGA) has revised weather page.
I am working on landscape and on 320x320 screens. Let me know what you think and if you find any bugs.

I need testers for WVGA. I do not have a device to test on.

That looks very nice. Good job.
great job..keep it up
I've been using the previous one recently, and love it.
I just tried this release. I find when I go to the "Programs" page, I get text over the top of the bottom buttons. The text I can see it "settings" and "Messaging".
I can post a screenshot later if needed.
I like the background a lot, great job
wow that looks really good
if you need someone to test out VGA version, happy to do that.
thanks mtkates
It's so great
Today screen is too good
but I have problem with the programs page

no such problem here.
let me see, didn't you uninstall the previous version? if you didn't, please do.
you should not only uninstall spb through windows Remove Programs, but you should also manually delete the SPB Mobile Shell folder in Program Files.
Then make a clean install of SPB and then use this amazing skin.
Edit: as u can see, there's no such issue here:

I addition to the recommendation quoted above, I have made and tested this based on the latest release(v2.1.2) of Mobile Shell. SPB has made internal program changes since v2.1 and custom skins can often be affected by the different releases. Mobile Shell v2.1.2 is a free upgrade and includes some bug fixes and added features.
So if the above does not fix your problem and you don't have the latest Mobile Shell version or are not sure what version you have, I would recommend heading over to SPB and upgrading. I think you will find that most new skins are being made around the newest version and it seems to be compatible with most of the previous skins.
Glad you guys like it. I am busy working on completing landscape and all screen resolutions.
Enjoy!
Great skin
This is REALLY AMAZING. Thank you so much master.
I don't care for landscape (the only times i use the Kaiser in landscape is when i'm typing on the hard keyboard in either Office applications , emails or texts - and naturally i don't use spb in these cases).
Everything is working perfectly well. I may add only two little comments:
- the three icons on Today (i.e. Miss Call, SMS, & Email) look very pale (as if they're fading in the background) - specially in "Classic" view. i don't know if it's been intentional - if you wanted them not to be very conspicous - or it's just a matter of color contrast between the color of these icons and the background picture.
- the main page of Weather tab doesn't give any temperature info (you have to press either the "Overcast" box or the could, sun, .... image to get into the four-day weather page with actual weather information. again, is it what you intended ? here's a screenshot:
OOPS: sorry, actually the temperature is showing on TOP of the main Weather screen (as in the screenshot it shows 16/12 for London's weather) but it's so small that i didn't notice it first.

The Status icons (sms, e-mail, missed) are vthe exact same ones used in the default skin of Mobile Shell. I have not changed them at all. When you actually get a message or missed call or voicemail, the icon will turn solid and get brighter and stand out on the screen.
Originally in Windows Field (and the original Diamond skin it was based on) used the status class twice to get the offset numbers. To save resources and to work properly in the new MS version, I decided to leave the numbers centered below and just use one status and since I already liked the original images, I just left them.

As for the weather page, I am considering removing the first weather page and just linking the tab to the weather details page to save resources, especially for the VGA versions. After using this skin again I am finding that the first weather page is kind of redundant. What does everyone else think? Leave it? Remove it? Don't care?
Great Work Mtkates!
I feel almost silly making recommedations, but I feel that the space on each side of the clock (both analog and digital) could be utilized for something. I know that you take great care for your layouts, so I understand if you want to leave it be. I love the option to have the three launcher items on the now screen. Also, overall this theme just looks great. Both SPB and Microsoft should be paying you.
The only bug I could find so far is in the weather (see screenshots), I'm not sure how but I lost my main icon. I say, just link that tab to the details screen and skip the one day screen.
Thanks again!
My favorite theme hands down.
Been using it a while now.
Looking forward to installing the new version.
Thanks for keeping it going

Thought about the space beside the clocks, but there is only so much you can add, and I personally don't want too much going on. I think there are planty of options for those that like a lot of shortcuts on the Now screen if they want them, or more minimal if they prefer. Of course there are endless possible layouts people can come up with. I have seen a lot of very creative skin that seem very functional and have a lot available on the Now screen, but I, myself don't mind the fraction of a second it takes to tap the screen to get to a different section to launch a program or whatever.
Sometimes I get a laugh when I read a post about how it takes 2 or 3 steps to do this or that, I just think to myself, "Are our fingers really getting that lazy? Or are we just that crammed for time?" I use the most minimal layout possible and I can get to anything on my phone that I have needed to get to in a second or two.
I think I will dump the first weather page and will probably change the weather details page slightly. For some reason, people are having problems with those particular big weather icons, both in this theme and in WM7. I thought the problem might be limited to VGA, but now I see even QVGA can pose a problem. The images are great (Great work by BeyondInvisible), but the files are huge compaired to the stock images. I will try to come up with something in between.
Ok, I guess I'm bored, just going blah, blah, blah and taking up space. I guess I'll get back to work. Anyway, make all the suggestions you want. You never know what might happen.

cannot agree more. it's really a shame that people are missing an important aspect of SPB MS , which is to provide us with the Visual Joy of Animated Moves: the beauty of this software is in its being a smart cute animated touch interface. imagine we have everything cramped in its Today screen. expecting such dull functionality not only proves our laziness but it's also a sign of our inability to enjoy beautiful floating movements for a few seconds
besides, one of the main attractions of WindowsField is in it's being light and robust (it takes almost 1/3 of device memory resources compared to your WM7 skins). This is certainly due to its minimalistic built. Remember that simple is beautiful. even God is simple

though i have absolutely no problem with the big weather icons (and they're really nice too) but i am certainly for whatever minimalist approach you might take. if you think the images are huge and resouce-hungry, then i guess we should sacrifice beauty for functionality & lightness.
one last word, clicking on Missed Calls icon on Today takes me to the missed call page in which not only the taskbar and menus of windows missed call page is present but also the five main icons of Today's taskbar are present (and functional too !). i don't think that i'd seen such functionality in other skins ever before.
if you did it intentionally, that's very clever. and if it has happened by accident, again that's great and helpful - in fact, this is the only occasion in which both SPB MS and a Windows application are simultaneously present and functional together ! here's a screenshot of what i'm talking about

WisBar Advance Desktop 2: Release 3 [12/19/08]
This is ridiculous!! The theme works great, but I can't seem to get it to ya'll right! WTF! Anyways, go back to the 2nd release, if you never downloaded the third, disregard this. Instructions changed.
For now, the theme will remain as is. Once the update to WAD2 is complete and working, I will rebuild the theme with two extra features, and to make sure there is no error in the theme with the newer version. So, in the meantime, everything works, but if you have any request for the final release, let me know! Enjoy!
Release 3 added:
Those without Audio Manager installed were unable to launch the theme, shortcut was deleted
Added text to application tabs
Added Video Recorder Page
Removed Voice Recorder shortcut, not all may have, similar to Audio Manager
I. How do I apply the theme?
1. Download the attachment "WisBar.zip"
2. Extract to the root, "\", of your device
For those that already have this folder from the last release, I suggest creating a new, blank WAD2 theme, set it as your default, quit WAD, then delete the ENTIRE WisBar folder from your device. Don't worry, all the same files plus more are included.
3. In the "WisBar" folder you'll have two folders, "Project Storm R2", and "Project Storm WAD2"
Move the "Project Storm R2" folder to "\Program Files\Lakeridge\WisBar Advance Desktop\Themes". Leave the other folder in the "WisBar" folder. These files MUST be in these locations to work! Don't worry about memory, sizes are small and it is best to have these on the device.
The reason for the "WisBar" folder is simple, I use this as my general folder for all WisBar items, graphics and others. This includes the WA3 theme.
4. Open WAD2
Choose Settings, then "Change Theme". If you do not see "Project Storm R2" in the list, choose the option to "Scan for Themes", and it should then appear. Select the theme, and apply!
II. On with the Show!
I've tried to use all available possibilities with WAD2, simply to have a better theme, and to use it for what it's worth. For those that used the first release, forget it even existed! This one is MUCH MUCH better. If you are new to WAD2, you will be in for a surprise! There is a lot to it, but once you understand it better, the easier all of this will make sense.
WAD2 is simply a "Virtual Desktop", it allows you to place almost any item you would like anywhere on the screen, with any number of screens. This is why this application is the best for this theme. If you have questions, feel free to ask here, we are all here to help.
For starters, at anytime you can swipe down to return home. Also, all shortcuts use default WM applications, this basically means opening contacts will launch iContact, if that's what you have installed.
III. Home Page
This your first page. Everything you need is here. At the top is the "Status Dock", and the bottom are your "General Shortcuts"
The Status Dock includes:
Live Battery Meter
Live Volume Status [Opens Volume Profile Manager]
Your Carrier Name
Live Phone Signal Strength
Bluetooth Status [Toggles BT power]
Data Connection Status
Wi-Fi status [Tapping toggles Wi-Fi power]
Clock [Opens Clock Page]
Long Date
The space below the date is used for the following notifications, only displayed when needed:
Missed Calls [Missed Call List]
Voicemails [Calls VM, you will need to change! Edit the script to call your own VM]
Emails [Opens Email Inbox, ActiveSync by default]
SMS [Opens SMS Inbox]
MMS [Opens SMS Inbox]
The General Shortcuts:
Messaging [Messaging Center]
SMS [SMS Inbox]
Contacts [Toggles Speed Dial Dock, shortcut to Contacts included]
Calendar [Opens Agenda Page]
Browser [Toggles Web Favorites Dock, PIE preset]
Media [Opens Media Page]
Weather Icon [Opens Weather Page, displays Home info]
Maps [Change to what you like]
IV. Applications Page
Like before, tapping the middle, blank part of the screen will open the applications page. This is fixed, so you don't need to look for it! At first, you're brought to the main applications page.
The bottom four are preset to:
Applications [Opens Page 1/3]
IM Apps [1 Page Only]
Games [Opens Page 1/2]
Tools [1 Page Only, Control Panel preset included]
The top two rows can be customized to launch your eight favorite applications.
To change between pages, swipe left/right, but this does not apply to the Main Applicaiotns Page.
ALL grids are set to "Object Grids". This means you can add more than shortcuts!
V. Media Page
This is really just a quick build. Once WAD2 is updated, the tab bar feature will be added here. Those who are unaware of this feature, it is similar to the tab bar of M2D.
Four buttons, these only change page, the large icons are the shortcuts:
Music [Audio Manager]
Photos [Photos & Videos]
Videos [WMP]
Voice [HTC Voice Recorder]
I used to have a second row for more, but I didn't like the way it looked, plus I'm sure majority of us use one general application for each media category. To change, just edit the button to launch the app of your choice.
VI. Weather Page
Fairly simple, forecast for days 1-4 on left, 5-8 on right. All general data is displayed in the middle. All icons and data are for Multiple Cities! This means the data for everything will update when you change the active city. The right arrow chooses the next city, left chooses prev, and maps brings you to a new blank screen. On the blank images page, just add a weather image of your choice.
Tapping the large weather icon will update the info.
VII. Agenda
Full screen agenda page, tapping anywhere on the agenda opens the calendar. Top left notifier displays remaining appt + all day, opens calendar, top right shows due today tasks + overdue, open tasks.
If you use PB or Diary, simply delete the agenda and add the plugin.
VIII. Clock Page
Simple clock page, arrows switch between digital and analog. If you have HTC Home installed, I suggest changing the digital clock to a HTC home style clock, just be sure to choose the location of the images! Alarm clock opens the default alarm application. This page also acts as a screen saver. On sync, this page will open, when done the home page will open.
*CONTINUED IN POST 2*
*None of these images show the correct WA3 theme!*
VIIII. Additional Notes
Included in this theme was a folder named "Additional Files", it is located under "\WisBar\Project Storm WAD2". Here you will find several different customized links for you to use as you like.
The following are included:
New Note
New Contact
New Appointment
New Task
New Word Document
New Excel Spreadsheet
Open SMS Inbox
Open Specific Inbox
Control Panel Shortcut
Default email link is set to open ActiveSync, to change, change the properties with an application like Resco Explorer and change "ActiveSync" to the name of your Inbox. This is for the WM default mail application.
A great thing about these shortcuts is they are linked to the default WM applications. This means for example, if you use PI8, and choose, "New Contact", it will open PI8, not the default application.
Users of FlexMail 4, see here, lots of great info:
http://kb.webis.net/questions/57/FlexMail+Command+Line+Parameters
When landscape is complete, those with a 320x320 screen can duplicate the theme files and use the copy for the second direction.
WAD2 Release 4 [Final]
Not yet completed, just making of list of things that will be changed. Once WAD2 is updated, these will be posted.
Each App Page will have shortcut to Page 1 [tabs will be shortcut to Main Apps Page]
More Apps Pages [maybe 5 vs. 3]
Lock Page
Tab Bar
Battery Icon [new]
Volume Button [changed, hopefully fixed]
Three Seperate Releases
1. Shortcuts/Speed Dial can be added without entering Author Mode [This means items can't be customized]
2. Shortcuts/Speed Dial must be entered through Author Mode [Allowing more customization to items]
3. Home Page Shortcuts will toggle docks [This means instead of launching email on tap, you will see a dock with inbox specific info, along with the shortcuts to open inboxes and create new emails]
WisBar Advance 3: Release 1 [12/19/08]
NO THIS ISN'T POSTED YET!
The idea for this theme is to match the WAD2 theme, and of course the Storm. At first, this may feel a bit odd to use, but after a day or it works great, for me at least. I have REMOVED the Start and OK/Close buttons. Don't worry, the functions are still there, just looks different. Now, you will have to set the order and functions yourself, the theme unfortunately only includes the graphics. Also, you do not have to set your taskbar like this, but I recommend it, because it will match the WAD2 theme, and looks awesome. There is a lot you can add to the taskbar, but by adding too many things, I feel you lose a "finger-friendly" taskbar. I like to have it simple, and display important info.
I recommend the following taskbar order:
Left Aliged:
Battery [Tap: Casc Start Menu, Hold: WAD2]
Window Title
Right Aligned:
System Notification [Tap/Hold: Show Notifications]
Clock: [Choose whatever]
Network [Tap: Clock/OK, Hold: Menu or Switch Window]
Phone [Tap: Clock/OK, Hold: Menu or Switch Window]
You'll notice I say use the Network and Phone Signal with the same functions. This way, it feels like you just have to tap the right corner to close, instead of tapping a small "X". Again, this is just a personal opinion.
Font looks best at 10pt.
Bottom taskbar:
I have included two different themes, one with a glossed bottom bar, and one with a flat black. I really like the way it looks glossed, but some may like the flat black instead. There isn't a lot of focus on the taskbars, more on the rest, like the buttons.

So far I think I'm good. I'm just surprised at how simple everything is, but looks so dang good. The only thing I'm trying to think about is the dialer, and how it can work for all devices. I've only made dialers with Tiermann's creator, which I think is for the Touch only.
Honestly, I've been staring at the first pic for almost 5 min now putting it all together in my mind! I may have to run to the store for some Starbuck's Double Shots !
Thanks for the support, I'll let you know when I'm stuck.
How big is each icon image for the menus? I could try whipping up a VGA skin if the icons are big enough.
go on!
I started this theme two days ago..
here a pic: I haven't resized anything allready so the buttons are bigger than normal for a 240x320 screen..

Once you get the buttons smaller, it should look very good
Are you going to have them link to new pages or directly to apps?
Alright, so I'm finally putting things together, I'd really like to finish this ASAP, since my new replacement device will be here next week, and I hate working with an incomplete theme.
The only thing I know I won't be able to do is a custom matching icon set, similar to the icons in the first pic of post 1. It won't include the background image, just the icons itself. So far, I've set the background to 60px wide, which should leave the icon around 45x45. If anyone would like to help with that, just PM me and I can send you what I've got.
Thanks!
Some screen shots posted.
Definitely blows away what I posted over at lakeridge forums. Terrific work.
JT, i'd like to help you in whatever way i can...
PM me with what you need.. i'll start working on it this weekend.
More screen shots up ! Check post 1 & 2.
Almost complete, just fixing a few things.
Argggggghhhh I need that WAD2 theme!! looks great!
This theme looks great. Good job!
I can't wait until this is done!!!! It looks amazing.

updated: feb 15, cleaned up a few icons, redesign bottom bar with bigger digital clock, and last number called/dialed is shown under phone icon.
edit: it seems like the last number dialed only shows the number you last dialed out and not the last number that call in. not sure if i want to keep this.
updated: feb 11, the cab is updated with working calendar and digital clock below it. also updated were several icons. contact link is now link to icontact.exe, so you may want to install icontact.
for those folks who have a vga device, you can get the cabs here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=X5RFYR55
firs time install instruction: all that you need the zip file above, which has two cab files.
1. i recommend install nuenobar first, then (1b) the theme cab after.
2. restart your device, go into your today setting and enable rltoday.
"ONLY" for those who flashed to a newer build of wm6.1, 21015 and perhaps higher, you will need to install the new nuenobar2.0 and can be download here: http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nueNoBar.aspx
to update the cab instruction:
1. uninstall simple iphone theme...and install the latest theme cab. you do not need to uninstall and reinstall nuenobar
ohyeah you may want to disable all your today list if you have anything enabled.
in addition to dwizzy qvga theme, i have added call history button with number of missed call showing, and number of voicemail also added to the corner of the phone icon. the number of emails and sms also work.
what so good about this theme is that it is super light weight to run, and seems very staple. the whole cab is about just a little bit over 1mb not counting the font files, and only about 25 files altogether. tf3d has aover 1000 files and take maybe 15mb to 20mb of ram to run.
dwizzy deserve all the credits for the theme.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=12695
rotlaus for rltoday plugin
also credit to n2chem for the nuenobar, and jackleleung for the call history shortcut.
thanks to nexvision for helping with some of the codes.
all the artists that made the original graphic and icons, that i have edited and put together.
issue: i can not link the contact button to launch the phone book. maybe someone can help.
to play with the configuration, open up and edit skin.xml file in your "program files/rltoday/......./
Thanks for your great work man! I appreciate your work, and I think also other people who just watching without making a compliment.
Keep it up!
thanks for the sweet iphone theme....but how can i get the calendar added.....at the same time I like it to be shown as the corret date number for example today is February 11, Wednesday...I like it to be shown as 11 and Wednesday on the upper part of the number....and hope it will synchronize with the time....How do I do this....pls HELP...thanx

updated with what you've requested. the clock is a bit small, but i'm not sure how to incoporate the clock with the way the layout currently is. hopefully i will think of something.
thanks for the update...really appreciate it...maybe if you have some time....try to put the time above somewhere between the signal and start button......thanks again...

ok for the last couple of days or at least 15 hours i have been working furiously on the VGA skin for dwizzy simple iphone theme and this is what i got:
updated: feb 11, the cab is updated with working calendar and digital clock below it. also updated were several icons. contact link is now link to icontact.exe, so you may want to install icontact.
for those folks who have a vga device, you can get the cabs here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1DCGT9F8
firs time install instruction: all that you need the zip file above, which has two cab files.
1. i recommend install nuenobar first, then (1b) the theme cab after.
2. restart your device, go into your today setting and enable rltoday.
update install instruction:
1. uninstall simple iphone theme...and install the latest theme cab. you do not need to uninstall and reinstall nuenobar
ohyeah you may want to disable all your today list if you have anything enabled.
in addition to dwizzy qvga theme, i have added call history button with number of missed call showing, and number of voicemail also added to the corner of the phone icon. the number of emails and sms also work.
whats so good about this theme is that it is super light weight to run, and seems very staple so far.
dwizzy deserve all the credits for the theme.

rotlaus for rltoday plugin
also credit to n2chem for the nuenobar, and jackleleung for the call history shortcut.
issue: i can not link the contact button to launch the phone book. maybe someone can help.
to play with the configuration, open up and edit skin.xml file in your "program files/rltoday/......./

I'm glad to see you posted it here as well.
I will post my theme over here too.
Once again, great work!

This looks awesome. Great work. Would it be possible to show "balloon" indicators for the number of unread SMS, the number of missed calls, and the number of unread emails? I see you have the number under the icon now.

i think i will leave the number the way it is for a cleaner look. i only have the voicemail with the caption at the corner of the phone icon. you can play with the skin.xml file and add the caption to your taste.
it looks great! but where can I see the weather, and how can I add the link of goole maps, opera,etc?

This would be nice to have. Or the ability to customize the applications... not sure how tough that is to implement.
Also, a weather icon.. if it could show the type of weather and temperature, that would be awesome.
Where does the iContact need to be located? I have it installed and working on my phone, but the theme kicks back an error saying i need icontact.exe. Do I need to move the install location?
I am liking this so far. It makes much better use of screen space. Good job man
Now if only there was a centralized app store with a really nice interface....
to point to your iContact.exe just open up and edit skin.xml file in your "program files/rltoday/......./
point to where have installed it
this is pretty cool theme.
may i suggest that you sacrifice one of the icons, preferably top centre for a samll digital clock. i also agree that there should be a second page to cope with the heaps of apps people have these days
what would make this even better would be the ability to move, remove & replace the icons for other applications.
its a great start with a lot of potential... well done!
Two other things to consider for future versions:
A modified skin for landscape view
When hitting X in the menu bar, it closing the program and not minimizing it.
Multiple panes w/ a custom wallpaper for each pane. This would allow people to group different programs
I am really liking this, and as revisions are made, it could turn out to be an awesome theme
updated with bigger digital clock and last number called shown under phone icon.
Nice
Good work, I'll follow the updates

Wow, great job, I love the clock idea in the bottom corner.
I might implement that on V3.2 of my QVGA theme if it's alright with you (credit will be given)?

dwizzy, you can do anything you want with the skin and no you dont even have to give me credit. you are kind enough to share everything with us to begin with.
I can't seem to get it to work? i installed it, both files but i can't seem to find the theme under settings/today.
