My dear xda-dev friends,
I am so grateful for this community, I have gained so much. I have been a digital artist for years, so as one way of giving back, I have made a set of themes from my digital art. I am offering them exclusively to my friends here. I retain copyrights for all the images, so please respect that, and use only for your own private use, I.e. No sale or redistribution. There are 13 tsk files, so you can have one for each lunar month. :wink: All are less than 200K, but only one is less than 100K. For other Oz-Vga users out there, you need to change themes in SE-Vga for it to look right in Oz-Vga, because otherwise you just get a small image and not the full screen image. (You do see more of the image with Oz-Vga by the way.) I hope these may add to someone else's enjoyment of their Universal. I use them myself of course. I also invite you to check out my website to see more of my art: www.shivafool.com
Cheers !!
Thanks for the contribution. They're great themes
Thanks argh2000, I hope they will help give an interesting touch to some folks' little friends.
any chance of posting some screen shots - so we can pick & choose without installing??
thanks in advance!
Screenshot!
screenshots
I have some screenshots that I wanted to post, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. I saw that some folks did this by putting their picture files in http://forum.xda-developers.com/files/
but I don't know how you upload files there so you can link them in your message. Please tell me how, and I'll be happy to post some screenshots here.
And now included here is a zip file with 13 screenshots so you can look and choose without loading them all into the precious storage memory. Most show the theme in SEVga, though some may well look better in OzVga.
Hello all,
2 hours of fruitless searching has prompted me to post here.
Does anyone know of a program that will rotate/cycle/change your Today screen background/wallpaper at a time interval? (10mins, etc)
(I suppose I'd pay $10 or so for it?)
Thanks guys!,
Dax.
I use StocksAndWeather for that. Not only does it cycle through your today screen themes, but it's a weather (and stocks) manager too. Gives you weather updates and warnings, but the kicker is that it comes with weather themes and changes the theme based on the weather. So if it's raining outside then the theme will be rain related. If it's snowing then the theme will show snow. It's a pretty neat program. You can also install your own themes to rotate in. Here is the link
http://www.stocksandweathertoday.com/
The weather icons are also animated so it makes your today screen look good, and you can instantly tell what the weather is like outside based on the theme. It's one of my favorites.
Hey there!
Thanks for your quick response!
That's not exactly what I was after, I just want to change JUST the background, not the whole theme. But thanks anyway!
Dax.
Just to register my interest in a utility that can do this. Have been searching for a long time but can't find anything as yet.
There must be something out there.
Thanks
WB
Well it can't be impossible, so yeah, I just wish someone would make it too.
It's such a shame I know nothing about programming.
Anymore on this please? Still looking.
Thanks
WB
Sorry WB, seems like no-one else likes our idea!
Dax,
Unfortunately seems you could be right. These tools are readily available for PC but it seems not for PPC.
Anyway lets not give up the search and if either of us finds something we should let the other know.
I will bookmark this thread for future reference.
Cheers
WB
@dax/wackyB: Guys, I don't need the money. will make something for u guys. am swamped right now by some other thing that i'm trying to do...will see if I get some time before this sunday..shudn't be too hard I think....
G'day mate!
That's very noble of you, thanks for your offer!
Whenever you're ready, just let us know, no pressure
Thanks so much,
Dax.
Theme Manager Plus does this.

Hi PhonePhun,
I believe that program only rotates themes, not wallpapers/backgrounds.
Which would mean you would have to create a seperate theme for every wallpaper you wanted to use.
Besides being inefficient, it wouldn't actually be all bad, but considering you can't create themes with wallpapers that work in both portrait AND landscape configuration, setting a wallpaper is still the best way to go.
Thanks for your input though!
All the best,
Dax.
Shantg001,
That is an EXCELLENT offer, very much appreciated. Let us know when you are done.
More than happy to make a contribution if required as I have been looking for a tool like this for a very long time.
Cheers
WB
Hey dax/wackyB: Look here for ur tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1303630#post1303630
Enjoy
NOTE -DOLLARS AVAILABLE TO ANY DEVELOPER FOR THIS PROJECT
I am looking for a developer to write a small utility that will remove the black lines on a Today screen that surround/delineate each Today item. The attached picture should help people to understand what I mean (see where the RED arrows are pointing).
The end result should be that any item seen on the Today screen will not have these black lines, leading to a clean, seamless look.
I was certain there was a registry hack for this; however after 2 months of fruitless searching on here and requests in other threads I have not found what I am looking for.
So what's different this time? Well, I will now pay someone to create a utility programme to achieve what I am looking for.
Interested and able to help? Please PM me.
Many thanks
WB
There's already an application which removes them... I ... crap, can't remember what it is. i'll search for it and let you know unless someone beats me to to it.
Nir,
Thanks. look forward to seeing what you can find.
WB
same as my problème?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=422825
thanks advance
It's the utility to change the colors of the today screen, I can't remember either.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343335
i believe this is it.
hi this tool is awesome I didn't knew it, thanks for sharing
But it is not the tool asked, it is only to change the theme and the entire color of your phone
You could use Ultimate Launch. It doesn't display the lines between plugins.
It offers a few other perks too
All,
Many thanks for the various responses. I have used UI Tweaker several times to try to achieve what I want and while you can change the colour of the lines you can't entirely get rid of them.
As for Ultimate Launch, have also used that as an alternative UI but I don't like it I'm afraid.
The request is therefore still open for a developer to take me up on it unless someone comes up with an existing solution that does the job as I set out.
Appreciate the help so far.
WB
+1, I would be happy too if there is way to delete those lines
maybe i was wrong about UI Tweaker then.. because i KNOW there's an app to remove the lines.. i used one. i'll search again.
Nir 36,
Thanks in advance for looking. Hope you find the item. This has been a very long quest for me.

LOL you.. here? wahou
UI tweaker I try to but not work
yeh
I'm everywhere too ...
Still no idea guys... ?
Yeah. I originally asked here about this on XDA-Dev's about 3 or 4 years ago. The only response that I really received was that the lines are coded in to the shell32.exe or possible gwei.exe [sic]. I know that Wisbar Advance Desktop and a few other programs will remove the lines. However, those programs have a lot of other functions that some people may not want.
Here's my original post from '05.

I can't believe you made your request so long ago and are still waiting for a solution.
I agree with you that all that is required is a small utility to achieve this. Just looking for a talented developer on here to take this on. I am absolutely serious about paying someone to do this so its worth their while.
There are a fair few people who want this so its over to you guys, unless Nir36 finds the tool he says he knows of.
Thanks
WB
I'm sorry, i can't find it. I searched everywhere... so it's one of 2 things.
either i'm senile and i used UI Tweaker, or it's just... gone.
if i manage to find it sometime i'll post it.
I would be willing to give some $ to, If some one would like to make a app, for this.
Thanks T M Z
apparntly i got theme to be "transparent" because my background was black
You can achieve this, if you don't change theme too often and if your theme (TSK) file isn't with draws, with a tool like UI Tweaker from Victor Wong (http://mobile-sg.com), with the excellent ThemeGenCE (PC tools to modify the TSK file or with SKTools (in color tweaks)
Put the 'Today Screen horizontal Bar' at a very close color of your theme... The bars will be 'erased' (you won't see them...)
Hope this helps...
Hi there,
Please don't shoot me down if the info I'm asking for her is already on the forums but I've been trying to find it for ages.
I saw a picture of Asus lamborghini ZX1 a while ago and wondered whether I cold get the same theme on my XDA Orbit. The closest I've found is someone else on here who's started to make one that can be loaded using the M2D software.
What I'd like to do is try to create my own. I've looked all over the place but can't find any help on how to do it. Can anyone direct me towards a website explaining how to create themes that I can install using the M2D software?
This might be a simple question but I just cant find it anywhere.
Cheers,
YP

Unfortunately it is not as simple as throwing some .png and .jpg files into a ThemeGen and out pops a theme. It is, sometimes tedious, editing of xml files. For a better understanding look here.

Please refer to the Q&A next.
Thank you
I had a thought while describing to a user how to use my wallpaper template.
Would anyone be willing to help edit the box that shows for cropping when setting a wallpaper? All that would really be needed to make it useful is to add in 4 additional lines inside of the cop box itself. Two horizontal and two vertical lines to serve as a guide for what is actually visible on the desktop.
If someone can point me in the right direction of what file to edit, Ill start working on it myself.
That is a wonderful idea. Would love for someone to actually fix the crop tool. Wish I could help but I would love to help test if you need it.
150 some odd view and no one knows where what files need to be edited to modify the crop tool?
Some one just point me in the right direction and Ill work towards getting this done.
that is a great idea! Maybe posting this in the android development section will get some feedback.
