Would it be possible to create a program that acts like Yahoo Widgets' (Konfabulator) HUD or Apple's Dashboard? In other words, dim the today screen and load a few light widgets (calendar, to-do list, weather, time, etc.).
Kind of like this; pictured with Grumps' iPhone launcher.
{
"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"
}
This would be fantastic!
That would be great, especially paired with a decent screen lock. I mean, when screen is locked and a key pressed this would show over today, when unlocked, it would go back to today.
I like the idea. S2U2 does some of that already but I like the detail of the pic.
Curious G.
actually, S2U2 does all these things..
It would be nice if s2u2 would take a snap shot of your actual today screen and fade it out before adding its own graphics (ie slide bar and sms count etc) over the top. Might be a bit much to ask though i guess

i agree. i use often my yahoo wigets hud on my laptop to catch snipets of information, plus they just look great. anywho, how cool would it be if there were a base engine and open sourced widgets for an application? one click (e.g., center button) to bring up the hud to and one to close.
here's another concept:
evilc..is kinda working on Today screen Widgets..maye he can shed some light
Yeah mine was more basic though, but there is a new project starting which looks really promising: XIAMultiTheme
Open source and can load widget dlls - will be nicely extendable methinks.
the only real thing i would like to see a quick calendar (even if it were text only) and day runner.

I am looking for a launcher plugin with large icons
cLaunch
try this:
http://pachome1.pacific.net.sg/~welic/claunch.html
is there any application which is "simpler" no needs for the tabs and pages...
just a quick launch plugin with large icons (thumb pressable) to quickly open some applications
tdLaunch
You may try this one:

but Claunch is really good, once you gey used to it
What is the GUI Skining application you are using that "!STILL!" shows the phone signal icon. Most GUI Skinning apps cover this info up! Please let me know I can't wait, so excited! :shock:
GUI skin
The picture is not a screen capture of hops's XDA but taken from oabsoftware. And you are right, I didn't notice this. We have to ask them what were they using when they took this picture.
yes please do! I see sometime people doctoring the display to make their product look nice but, it really gets a lot of people excited about something that does not exist I have seached long and hard and nothing seems to be able to do it without cover the signal bars :evil: so I thought it might be pocket blinds a new version but they still have the old one out from years ago no update, and it doesn't work. So needless to say my hopes are high here. So keep us posted I'm sure I'm not the only one wanting this 8)
So, I'm working on a concept called Devonshire and I'd like to get people's opinions on it.

What I want to do with the photo stack is actually keeping the white frame and cutting out the photo so users can add their own photo underneath to simulate their own photo. Is there a way to do to this and make the photo cycle at a predetermined interval?
The Home Page icons are all new and semi-transparent. The 1st icon will bring up a sub-menu with 6-8 most common used programs. The 2nd icon is the phone icon. The 3rd icon is the alt-tab icon. The 4th is the S2U2 icon.
I'm thinking that pressing on the clock will open the "next appointment" dock.
What do you guys think?
Terrific concept. Look forward to the finished product.
I updated the first page with the five different tabs side-by-side. Right now, I'm about 80% done with getting things installed unto WAD. By later today, I should have a version that I can upload here =D
For both the apps/settings page and contacts page, the bottom right and bottom left corner of the book will change the pages (docks).
I have a question: For the home page, is there a way on WAD to make the photos change every 5 min automatically?
Also, I haven't played around with the built-in agenda in WAD, but is it possible to use the graphics I have for the agenda (Today header strip, highlighted strip, day header strip)
Any feedbacks?
It looks a little cluttered to me, but it still looks nice.
Hi
I am sure that I am not alone when I look at the new WM6.5 Start Menu and it just looks plain bloody ugly where it was once honeycomb and now all the icons are spaced oddly in rows of 3 icons then the next row below has only two and on and on..
Is it possible to go more down the line of having them all line up both horizontally and vertically.
See below mock up please.
Regards

That would look nice. Also, how about being able to arrange alphabetically?
My thoughts exactly
Can't be that hard. But since i'm using Launchpad nowadays, i'm not gonna make it

Would be cool as above Launchpad & Launchmanager are good progs but an app to replicate WM6.1 menu with Start Menu hook and the ability to change background "and other tweaks" would be sweeeet
If you have any luck let me know! It seems that the honeycomb is forced. The only way I could get it half-decent was a single column (i.e. a list). For more details, look at:

And with reStart you can tweak it still a bit more like changing folders, arrange icons etc

Froyo is making nice progress it seems, but I am not sure if you can put applications in there on your own. My guess, those icons are hardcoded in there.
As seen in this video @ 6:30 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0y7XJI4NN7k
It would be awful if they were hard coded. I'm ok with the phone button but maybe i wanna put something else in stead of the browser.
you should perhaps do a search before posting. this exact video is about 8 threads down, here
Interesting, a drop down icon below the google icon in the search widget... does that mean you can change your search engine?
Seems like they let you change orientation how you want in froyo Like cyangoen, or whoever did that mod did
Nice find. Anything can be changed
thats cool, I can roll with that.
maybe it's just me, but i don't find that launcher very attractive; i like the helixlauncher's ability to add 4 shortcuts, which looks much better than this

I'm guessing it's so you can choose options like Image search, local search, books etc.
That makes more sense to me, but who knows.
I love this since helixlauncher2 FC alot!
More home pages please
I liked the previous one better...
The update isn't launched yet and it can be anything....
Fingers crossed...
wish they would add the ability to turn the notification bar from white to black. I also like helixlauncher2's ability to remove the notification bar entirely from the homescreen.

No it doesn't. I haven't had a single crash in over a month. Maybe you should unbreak your phone.
Hi,
My unit should be coming tomorrow and I was just wandering any cool tricks for the S-Pen button?
Thx.
They act as mouse left click select ..
Mark text like youd do with a mouse on a pc.
Other than that, the image clip is handy IME, for quite a few things. My most recent thing was making a quick S Note document to share with travel companions by clipping flight info from email, hotel info from my browser, directions to the hotel from maps with handwritten circles around nearby landmarks naming them, and weather info for the trip. Sent it to my travel companions with email as a PDF, they could print it or keep it on their phone. Really quick and easy.
example:
{
"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"
}
Other than that, taking a picture and drawing over it has been quite useful, for instance Im attending a course on a new piece of SW for my firm, I can take a picture of the interface, circle around a particular feature on the UI and make a note about that particular bit, instead of having to describe what part the notes are about for that particular segment (like say marking the taskbar in windows 7 and noting that you can pin programs there) which is a lot easier to teach on to colleagues.
Hold the button and doubletap the screen (even lockscreen depending on your device lock choice i guess) to instantly get action memo up.
Iunno... stuff like that? Theres a lot more about the SPen itself, but for the button Im not sure what else to tell you off of the top of my head.
Apps can also use the button for things - for example LectureNotes allows to use it to switch to eraser.
