But there is a commercial app called MyPhoneShortcuts which does something similiar ($9.49).

Hi vjay,
when you gonna let us know how get out today screens looking this cool?

Bit busy
Holy sh*t VJ! That's some busy Today screen.

Davebo: Yeah, I'm still not happy about the spare bit of space in the middle (it's actually a plugin called VJTodaySpacer). Will have to put something ridiculous in there too! This plugin, VJEphemeris, is likely to substantially change shape as soon as I get a minute to re-address some of it. With my R&D on VJVolubilis etc, I want to build in one touch wifi/ir/bluetooth control etc, and some other stuff.
The screen looks busy but I find it quite easy on the eye (although I dislike analog clocks. I only did it to see how to do it..I think I'll remove it later)
I only have one screen, no virtual pages etc (yet!). The Quote of the day thing is funny, it auto sizes according to the size of the quote. So you get some long ones that autosize to like 3pixels high. Looks absurd
Has anyone gotten around to ripping the treo 700w rom yet? I'd like to have a look at their contacts dialer.

Wisbar Advanced Desktop will also let you put a shortcut to a phone number. Then I use vijay's tool for email and SMS.

The fullscreen technique is not entirely compatible with WM5 yet. I've not had enough time to get it out yet. Chakra will tell you all about it.

Flashing addict to skinning addict.

Well haven't had anything to flash since flashing wm6 black 1.2. So started skinning my today screen. Here it is.

All thats left is to find some good meter replacements for ilauncher(any one know were to find some send me a msg) and I'm good to go.
Edit: The weather panel icons are animated. Gives it a little spice my son like to watch the lightning.

How do you do it?
Hi Chrisryn
How did you manage to make ur phone skin to look so cool? Could you tell me what program you are using? If you have some time, maybe you give a simple 123 tutorial for a NOOB like me.
Thanks in Advance. Cool Skin

There are 5 programs that you see in that ss.
1. Wisbar advance with Vistabetatwo skin
2. Weatherpanel with Finis2 skin
3. Ilauncher with icons by lokutos
4. Phone alarm with [email protected] skin
5. I also have wisbar advance desktop thats were 2-4 are shown.
If anyone knows an easy way to skin the dial pad or a good place to get dial pads that will work with wm6 drop me a line also a good skinable calc would be nice.

And, coming from Oklahoma City, I bet those animated tornado icons look pretty cool too eh?
Here in WI, all I can animate is cows....

pretty nice, maybe we can do a gallery with today screens from people, and share skills in tunning today...

yeah luckly haven't had to spend much time in the tornado shelters in the last couple of years but they said that will change this year. Looking foward to the icons.
sinmae: I was thinking a site dedicated to skinning the today screen with skins for different apps. Kinda like wincustomize. But I am only a cnc programer not a web desinger. So I don't have the skill.

Show us your today screen !

Ok now that you now a lot about Prophets let us know how's your Today Screen look a like
So, let's start with mine Today Screen:
It's a very simple PDAviet ROM today screen only with Marsware Weather Panel with animated icons.
So, post your screenshot now !

hha.. Sorry... it's not a prophet.. but.. here.

yeap... elisha cuthbert

Yeah. she's bad... thats a bad chick... hands off! she's mine!

mine changes every day!
atm I've removed all my spb stuff in favour of the new HTC plugs.
(latest pdaviet, with audiomanager today plug from the wizard thread)
The overall effect is ugly, I know...but i like it! ...it's like; technology, man...

Hey Triplejay
Where is the download for the MediaPlayer Today plugin you use please?
I have found 1 version of it (1.00 build 227.714) in the wizard thread, but while you can use it to control Audio Manager, it does not function with WMP. Just loads WMP no matter where u tap it.
I do like Audio Manager and would use it except that when wanting to play music by album, it plays the tracks in alphabetical order which is just dumb.

Hehe.. I change like the seasons..

the audiomanager plug in on it's own was on about page 30 or something. I've attached it here, but, you might not need it, because...
Something I didn't realise straight away, you have to go into settings, today, items, music plug-in and choose "the plug in controls audio manager".

mine today screen

Full Black...
Here is mine...

here mine, I've modified png's of the HTC Home Plug

really cool..is this thing reals??

Nope, fake
Hense why I'm asking if anyone can develop it because I have very, very little programming experience

Looks good, gotta be threaded!

I agree. Maybe instead of 'From' and 'Message' there could be contact names that you press to get to a threaded view of messages. Either way, I just wanted to put a design idea on the table.

woah what a nice design then I think this think really exist..oh great if there is a programmer who want to create it

I've added an idea for threaded SMS. Can anyone help make this into a program?

Since you are GREAT in Graphics and stuff...why dont you make a Skin for Pocket CM like this

can u send me the files..i mean the background..the buttons and all the stuff..maybe i will try something

Nice idea.... It looks very cool.....

I've sent ather90 the graphics, so now we can just hope lol

i guess its the new 3.5 framework needed ^^

just tried it, looks like a pretty sweet start. hope it turns into a full program.

Yeah sorry i Forgot to tell
it needs .NETCF 3.5

woah Ather will it work for VGA?

It would be lovely if this could be created implementing own MMS/SMS handlers by using
FormFactoryEx.. so this could be embedded directly to tmail...
I know the messageview and the compose form can be created in this way(check the sdk samples), but i'm not sure if you can create the list of messages custom.. i know you can override the basic icons/bitmaps used to describe read/attachment and so on.. but i'm not sure about the generic window..

[10.24.08][DEV] OpenMenu - an LGMenu Clone

Hi all!
REQUEST
I've been working on this using Basic4PPC, and it's coming along quickly and nicely. But, I'm using the unregistered version!
I initially wanted to charge a tiny fee for the app, but I have a better idea. If I could get donations to get a proper license for Basic4PPC, then I'll release it and any subsequent versions and updates as freeware instead. Hell, I'll open source the buggers.
In addition to this, it means I finally have a development platform I can use to make the apps that I've always wanted to. I have the skills, just need the tools: so you can get more apps in the future!

Another day, another application I'm working on.
I have an LG KS20, and one of the coolest parts of this phone is the LGMenu. It's great! But the issue is: there is no customisation whatsoever! So I decided I was going to create something instead.
Currently working on the application itself, using holder graphics.
What would you nice people like to see in this application?
Customisation is a must, as well as skinability.
But what else?

Hi!
I like the LGMenu as well but didn't use it because it's not customizable. Therefore your effort is highly appreciated
Some ideas (see attachments):
- an integrated appointments view would be nice
- scrollable icon view

yy what replace skin for programms menu?

Being able to add wallpapers to the background, man, that'd be the best.

dude, if you like B4P buy the app, Erel put a lot of time in it
I did and i didn't even ask other people for money

+1 for scrollable icons
I think this would be most useful.
greets doena

I'm being paid on Tuesday, and I *will* be purchasing B4PPC. So shush.
