SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 Theme / Skin Collections Thread

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 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..

REQUEST: WM7 Theme for Phonealarm?

Hey, does anyone have or can help me make a WM7 like theme for Phonealarm?
Here's what I have for rlToday. I used the one that was posted here and did a couple of adjustments. What I really want - and I can't do on rlToday - is to integrate the battery, RAM, storage memory, and SDcard memory gauges into the theme. For now, I have it separate under Resco Today plugin and it looks out of place.

}

If anyone can help me out, let me know. I have a lot of the graphic files on hand.

**********************************update *****zip file is included in post number 7 ***********
I have my own version.
It is based on phonealarm mixing lots of things, mostly iwise, rockability & littlerain stuff (thanks to them).
It has a bigger clock, with the alarm icon appearing in the middle
On the right side of the clock I have date, digital clock, operator (I have dual SIM), pa profile, and small weather icons + bt, wifi and data icons.
When you click the clock you toogle the screen brigthness (for outdoor instant usage).
I use MVBklight, which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379270
In the normal mode I combine it with todayagenda or spb diary
The skin changes with the profile, so while in the car, the bottom part has also big buttons for the tt7, A2DP bt, the voice recognition, set volume and so on.
You must define the applications in the advance tab in pa.
The list of relationships between icons and apps are:
*Image_AppLink12=quickgps, to update tomtom info ota
*Image_AppLink11=iRadares, great app to download tomtom radars, voices, icons and poi file (spain)
*Image_AppLink13=Voice Commander, the one comming with the cuise as default
*Image_AppLink7=Setvolume0.43: also in this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395695
*Image_AppLink6=BTAudiotoogle, to send the pda voice to the parrot ck3100
*Image_AppLink2=TomTom, that's clear I think.
*Image_AppLink17=WisBar Advance 3 - [Task Panel]
*Image_AppLink9=backlight (m command)
*Image_AppLink19=void, only to support a background image
*Image_AppLink18=void, only to support a background image
There is also a "home" tab showing the weather instead of the analog clock (at home I am not in a hurry and i have the digital clock as always). When I select the home profile, pa changes the SIM to the private one also. The skin is so different because I want to notice that I changed the SIM (the operator does not reflect this always).
There is a "outdoor" tab with no use so far: should be for a specific setting for outdoor and music oriented, with bt settings and a music tab or plug-in but I have not found anything as I want so far. May be you can give me a start on this area.
I usually combine it with wisbar and wisbar desktop to hide top bar and build a wm7 bottom bar
instead of the top bar I have the meters taken from a statusbar skin (sorry I can not recall the author) since I like it more than the ones in I wise. The meters are part of phone alarm skin. Between the meeters I have a windows incon with the wisbar taskmanager,
usually I combine this being the 1st tab of ultimatelaunch: let me recap: phonealarm as a plugiin of ultimatelaunch, being itself a plugin in wisbar.
I can not upload screenshot but if you want me to post the phonealarm skin I will do. As you see it is very customized so you need to be familiar with phonealarm skinning, so if it is useful for you or for anybody else who may also want to help me improve the graphics side....
I can not post the files right now because since my cruise is in the bedroom and my wife is sleeping but I will do if somebody requests it.
btw. the folder is called iwise so if you have this wonderful skin installed (the best wm7-ish for people who do not want to get complicated) you will have to change forlder name and reference in the phonealmarm .skin files. (updated: already renamed to cruiserrr)
I have customized the same skin in rl-today but I like it more with phonealarm since in rl-today tabs are slow as in phonealarm but with phonealarm you get the profiles functionality at the sametime and better than any other program I have tried so far.
I just wanted to answer you since I read your post a long time ago and I was surprised since I did not see any answer today
**********************************update ******zip file is included in post number 7 ***********

Please do post it.

If you go to the PhoneAlarm forum or search here for iWise it is perfect.
Very clean, and nice looking. And it is just a simple cab install. Try to find IWise3 because that was the last one before the dude went crazy and deleted all his posts and stuff.
He has a clean version, professional version and simple version on top of a transparent version. So it basically will meet all your needs.

He is not crazy lol read at the thread what has happened actually and if I were him I would do same things
Btw the skin is not deleted you can find it on pocketmax main page of site..and yes so far that skin is looks same with WM7

cruiserrr skin
Here you are ! The file is below. I have a spanish 6.1. official rom so my sd card is called "Tarjeta de Almacenamiento" and I have windows/start menu/programs also in spanish. May be you have to change something manually.
I have updated the description in the 3rd post above.
The skin is defined with calibri font but I have not included the fonts (I hard reseted some time ago and did not have time to reinstall them, any help to test and add the fond will be welcome).
any help to improve usability with thumbs or to improve graphics is welcome. I have no idea how to make a cab of it.
My wish list to complete my ideal skin would be:
realistic:
improve clock: 1.when clicking to clock most of the times it changes backlight but a few others I still get the change time screen) 2. I think I would like it slightly smaller to give more space to the agenda bottom part.
profile selector: names are not shown completely I do not know why
mail/sms/voice: I ripped the graphics from a jpg file and added the green balloon so they can be better aligned and with better definition.
car buttons: make them more integrated in the style of the skin, and more selfexplanatory
dual sim support: it is supported but I have not been able to benefit from it. I have a single sim with two numbers inside.
unrealistic:
copy+paste tool and hide-top-bar tool with small footprint or included in phonealarm
weather plugin: written sentence explaining today's forecast and ability to define weather should be sync only when active sync'd
clock: different colours and seconds (as in rl-today)
plug-ins: possibility to include plug-ins so they change also with the profile.
profile selection and weather forecast: kinetic scrolling
battery and signal: possibility to show % if wanted and higher area of sensitivity to open details.
apps: possibility to define them in the skin instead of mapping the button to the app and defining the app in the pa settings tool
link to wm6 notifications: I have to open whatever application so that the top bar shows and then check the notification (other than alarms, emails and the rest that are controlled by pa)
multitab: quick multitab functionality when no change profile is defined.
background: may be would be nice to change by profile or by event (missed calls)

Any chance on making this in landscape? It looks awsome!!

robbyr, thanks so much for the compliment !! I have no plans to make it landscape since I only use landscape mode for tomtom and since I have not that much time at this moment but I will happily support anyone willing to try to do it !! The skin files can be opened with notepad and you will see it is not that bad.
In fact it has been difficult for me to build the skin since I can not install any software in my pc so all was done with basic image programs and online converters and try-and-error ...
note: as you know, to completely uninstall the skin is as easy as deleting the cruiser folder and the cruiser*.skin from the pa directory where you have copied it.

thats for qvga correct.. i need vga

Yes, it is only QVGA! I tried to optimize graphics size and I do not need VGA resolution. For QVGA you can double size of all objects and reference to them as coordinates. iWisen is VGA/QVGA since PA is able to handle VGA as QVGA.

Click to collapse
with current phonealarm version you only need to add a line to the skin so is vga compatible. simply add
VGA_Skin=1
to each skn file with a text editor and that should fix it.

Release Notes

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]

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.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
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.

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

Nice work, for the contacts issue i just installed iContact found here

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...

Is it possible to add another page to flick to, too add more programs, that would be great

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)?
dwizzy130

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.

That's the idea, to have an actual enhanced replacement for the actual clock.

this is big time! can't wait!

so am I ! is there the possibility to add the date to your plugin ?

haha just wen i think i have figured it all out the game changes Look beautiful bro. Cant wait to learn.

nice
QVGA PLEASE

This is shaping up to be great. I know you saw my other post about calendar integration (like next appt, etc), how about the chances of the clock also displaying the time your next alarm is set for? even if it was small. not a big deal, just some random ideas... keep up the good work

I guess this would make your phone run really slow.. Even when you just install WM6.5 with the blizz skin on some phones, they already run slow. If you then want to add the analog clock with a "seconds" hand, your phone would run really really slow... It could be good for some phones, but if you really want to do it, you should add a checkbox in the settings menu you are probably going to create for people who don't need the "seconds" hand or for whom it would make there phone run too slow...

This is a must-have!

Wow! Looks great!Good job!

cant wait... plz post the cab sooooon!

looks great keep it up.

Looking Forward To It....Keep It Up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes Sir !
look nice...
Wait for cab and Skin...

Wow, now that's something useful and pretty. I'm very impressed, thanks for sharing, 12

Looks awesome, as always from rpereira. Can't wait!!

The most titanium skin till now,im waiting for this,many thanks

Very very nice...this will replace on my device the too simplistic digital clock immediately. Waiting for it.

very impressive. this will open up a whole new world for titanium. thanks rpereira. cant wait to install it.
