Today Spacer I Think ?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looking for some today screen spacers to put this APP. down at the bottom
or a registry setting. I would greatil appreciate any help Thanks T M Z
Launcher is a Today screen add-on for PocketPC's. It adds an icon bar, much like Windows's Quick Launch bar. You can place as many applications (screen space permitting) to it's list as you wish simply by copying link files into the Launcher folder, and launch the applications with one tap.
Launcher - For PocketPC's (Version 1.40)
Please read the included readme files for information on how to change the list of icons, and how to upgrade from a previous version.

I find one..

Done! also added somescreen shots of the 4 side of the cube
they look much better in animation though
looks nice.... after i saw your cube, i had this idea: an UI like a Rubik cube as a menu where you could scroll every column and every row so u will have a real custom menu

that's what i had in mind but that needs siome development to state which part of the screen you're scrolling at
i'd be able to create the visuals if a developer hops in
Support VGA &WM5.0 ?
Can not find the executive file - I have only a _setup.lnk that run my Opera and that all. Could you please give some instructions
Doesnt seem to work on WM5. Still,20MB required to install seems a bit steep....
Installed on my Artemis but still only showing 3 sides and the app launcher stayed the same (black) Thanks anyway. Ad

added a registry file tweak to overcome this and other problems
I installed and for some reason after a while it shuts down my bluetooth on my Touch, and my Jawbone disconnected.
Hmm...I-cube clone?
Ahmad,
Visually this is virtually identical to Musicman's 4 sided I-cube. Is yours a clone with a few cosmetic alterations or something else?

UPDATED:Custom Manila Theme

I've been searching for awhile for the registry entry that controls the color of the selection highlight when you scroll thru different selections. An example would be when you scroll you start menu or contact and such.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
EDIT: Here is a link to most (all) of the registry entries for theme colors
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WindowsMobile5Colors
Scroll down for Custom Manila cab file
I did this a long time ago with SKTools, but im sorry because dont know the registry key for this.
Thanks for the reply. I've since then managed to find it and was actually looking at the right key all along but for some odd reason my phone would not respond to that particular key change. Finally I decided to cab up the theme and install it with my registry edits and it worked great Now I have a Manila theme without the ugly green highlight. It's grey instead
Bump due to updated info...

I extracted an OEM from PPCGeeks OEM package and tweaked it. The font setup is the same as it was in the manila theme pack but I changed the color.
Other than that, here's a link to the thread that explains some font changes.

That one is the final version. If you goto the download tab, click connect to download server. Once connected select Icons from the drop down menu then scroll down. It's right under all of the baseball sets.

[THE] TP2 TF3D Neon Tabs - v1.2a [10-06-2009] - Coming back - Soon

TF3D Neon Tabs Theme
Still development in progress but so far I have managed to get the actual TF3D tabs to be in a type of "Neon" scheme.
I will be working heavily on this trying to go through all icons in TF3D making them Neon so there will be many updates to follow making this simply perfect.
Feedback more than welcome and opinions probably will be worked in.
Please note, people have confirmed this works on....
-- Touch Pro 2
-- Touch Diamond 2
-- Touch HD
If you do try this on any other phone, please let me know the outcome, I should be able to adapt the files to work on any phone in theory
The Cab file is fully un-installable so if you don't like them, just remove the program in Remove Programs and you're back to normal.
Screen Shots
Updates
Version 1.2a - 10-06-2009
- Changed some colours around to make it view better
- Added different options for different people, plain, transparent curtain, transparent slider, transparent curtain & slider (can't please everyone)
Version 1.2 - 10-06-2009
- Created the 4 icons in the people secions
All People - Favourites - Updates - Call History
- Also added Transparent bottom curtains and transparent slider so no need for extra installations.
Version 1.1 - 09-06-2009
- Created tab icons when icon is not selected
Version 1.0 - 09-06-2009
- Created Tabs for following Tabs when selected...
Home - People - Messages - Email - Calendar - Internet - Stock - Camera - Music - Weather - Programs - Settings

There is no need to extract the file, it's a cab anyway.
Just copy the file to your phone and open it -it installs itself.

The slide part, the button that you hold to move and slide, the "block". Can't think what its called but its the rectangle block that you slide from left to right.
Ahh ok, you mean the slider .
I'm already using Lucarp's transparent slider.
I've attached it, so you can have a look for yourself what it does.

Here's a screenshot of the slider if you don't want to install it

Looks good, I want it to be a bit narrower though I think, not 100% sure yet, haven't made my mind up. Think I'll have a play around and might incorporate it in my icon set.
Update
Updated icons to include people section and also added transparent slider and transparent bottom curtains in so no need for extra installs.

Hi there, just want to say it works on my Touch HD Unfortunately I am using a chinese rom (Devilstone v3.7 with TouchFLO 34 2.1.38158.2), so I am not too sure if it will work with other cooked romr, just give it a try I guess~
Here are the screenshots:
This is just the theme itself (with Lucarp78TS.cab)
And this is the transparent both cab (I uninstall Lucarp78TS.cab)
Looks awesome on my TP2. Thanks dude, good job.

Background for all and transparent slider tab for T-Mobile 6.5 rom

all i want is to have the same background on all tabs and to have a transparent slider.
I've been looking for this like a crazy person and tried at least 5 different cabs and none work.
Any one can help me out
Hello
I think i can help you.I was searching for background on all tabs by yesterday
Try hd wall.You will get a result better than you want.
1-Just drag and drop your desired wallpaper for portrait mode
2-Then press landscape on the ta-op then drag and drop a wallpaper fits your landscape mode.
3-Click config and choose your appropriate Manila version then come back
4-Click create cab then choose both "include portrait wallpaper" and "include landscape wallpaper" then press convert button.That conversion porcess will take approximately 2 minutes.
5-Don't forget to consider where you want your cab file to be created checking the option on the top right.
6-And give a name in application title
7-You are ready to go.Press create cab and your cab will be created to the folder you chose so transfer it to your ppc and install then restart.This solved my problem.
And here is the cab to give your slider glass look

1) Is the cab I attached below one of the ones you've already tried?
2) If you've followed the steps above to install one of the HDWalls wallpapers, and it appears everywhere but your home tab, then you need to just follow the instructions HERE (it's a common thing for people to have to apply those steps when using HDWalls wallpapers)
whenever i've tried to install that BG for all pages wvga.cab file, it messes up my clock display. the clock get's huge & i can even read it. am i doing something wrong? i'm on Verizon & running Windows Mobile 6.5.

Hints n Tips

Since we don't have a hints n tips thread yet, here's one. Just a few odd things I found...
1. I think it's a WM6.5.3 feature, but for some reason, if you install either Dutty's task manager, or the HTC Task Manager linked below, tapping on the taskbar brings up a larger version of the bar, with a magnifying glass icon that will allow you to enlarge the screen and pick out small buttons more easily. Not sure why this isn't enabled out of the box, or why doing this enables it. S:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-htc-task-manager-v2-0.html
2. A far better task manager (and the only one I could find that works) than the installed MS version...
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-arkswitch.html
3. The same CAB that can be used to add a "Mark all as read" item into the Outlook menu on the HD2 (item 47in link below) works on the Mini as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638
4. Manual rotation of the screen using a long press of the "call" can be done the same way described in the above HD2 hints and tips thread, mentioned in post 5, by downloading rotate.exe and putting a long_send shortcut into \Windows.

Its user interface is better designed. It uses the screen space better, with larger, clearer text and a built-in close button for each task, rather than the select-endtask approach required by the standard task manager. Switching is done with a single tap rather than a double-tap, and it is activated by tapping on the left of the taskbar rather than by using up a program launcher space. I haven't installed a screen-grabber yet, but the attached image should clarify, have a look and compare.

I'm afraid I didn't, that's a stock image of the task manager, not my device.
THX a bunch man.
Here a explanation for the "rotate screen" program, so you dont have to search through the HD2 thread.
Make a shortcut of the "rotate screen" program, rename it to long_send.lnk and copy it to \windows, then long press call button and this program will be executed, rotating the screen.
Try MMTaskManager. It's a better task manager. App thread found in the Windows Mobile Apps & Games forum of this site.
what's rotate screen program..?
