Scroll Launcher is a Diamond styled Launcher for WM Devices.
Scroll Launcher looks inside the windows start menu folder for all files, and then adds them to a modified KListControl from here
Requirements:
.NET CF 2.0
WM2003 and above Pocket PC device. (I haven't worked out where the Smartphone version stores its startmenu. As soon as I do, I'll release a new version).
QVGA or VGA device
2MB of RAM (may use more on VGA)

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Usage:
Install the cab to your device. Execute the link called "Scroll Launcher" in Programs, and then scroll till you find the program you want!
Notes:
No icons are added yet.
A settings program is included!
EOA (ExitOnAction) sets whether the application should close when you hit a link.
The "Path" option allows changing of the path. If you have a non WWE ROM, please set this prior to use!
You must restart Scroll Launcher to apply changes.
Thanks to dosfan and gingercat for the original KListControl.
Thanks to kidnamedAlbert for the icon!
The sourcecode for my modified KListControl is also attached for those who are interested.
this looks great.
just wish we could a better looking background to go with it

Currently it's a single colour layer... I might try and implement some form of bitmap backround, but that'll eat memory...
well at least a black background color. white is too bright and makes my head hurt.
still i will use it

Have a present! I've just swapped around the black and white... Now the background is black, and the text is white!
I'm gonna release a version with the ability to configure that tomorrow!

thank you!
this is great.
now im going to add a program icon to it
i have edited the black scroll launcher and added a program icon
just replace the .exe with the one in the program files/scroll launcher folder
the idea look similar to Schaps interface for hes upcoming rom nice work
looks interesting! when i installed it and run the launcher, it does not find any of my programs. the only one that shows up is the launcher in the list.
i installed on my device and i tried it on my storage card same effect. only the launcher shows up in the program list. do i need to install anything else? i only installed the black launcher attached in post number 5.
thank you mister moderator l3v5y
Nice work l3v5y!
Just great
In black is very, very, very nice.
Just jumpse to me that it is missing 2 thing.... the icons, and not to hide the top bar.
Keep up the good work, for you and dosfan.

Does your ROM have any localisation? It may not work with differently named start menus. Also, are the files in "\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs" *.lnk files?

I'm adding some customization to it (via the registry!) so I can add that as an option.
The icons are coming, I just need to work out how best to implement it.
New version with some customisation out now!

l3v5y, I just tried your launcher (actually referred from the finger friendly thread) and I like it a lot, it can easily compensate what pointui is missing, which is only 7 items allowed.
I don't know if you could add these:
1) Groups of the shortcuts. I have way too many shortcuts currently grouped into folders right now (for pointui access). However if your launcher supports layers, such as if I double tap office then I would be able to select word mobile, excel mobile etc that would make it a little cleaner look.
2) Index scroll, a vertical scroll bar on either the left side or right side when scrolling the corresponding first letter comes up, like what pcm contacts, icontact and random access has. It maybe too pointui-ly but certainly increases the usability of your launcher.
Just my 2 cents. Keep up the good work!

Good ideas, but they may take some time...
Currently the items are sorted by creation date, so I need to change that before 2 will work.
Groups may also take some time as I'll have to redo the click handling...
great work brother do we only install the cab file? or what to do with the other files?
The cab file is all you need with WM5 +

Same here!!!! The clock shows 88:88 and everything else is gone. But it is nice and smooth though...good job music!!!!!!!
I was going for the Time machine effect, where it looks like you open your desktop and there is all this space back there. oh well. I guess it's not for everyone.
I'm working on a Supernova type of transition where a sudden burst of light comes out, then subsides to show the galaxy, then the Slabs come up.
hey man...lovely program... some constructive crit. though....i hope in the future you make an app to change up the programs and apps in the cube/flo....its slightly slow as compared to the original t.flo...and it would be nice if there was a changeable background... but honestly...amazing program...installes and uninstalls without any problems...launches and minimizes properly...except when its being launched it shows a background of a different touch screen, but thats just a cosmetic effect...ill giv more feedback if as i use it...hope it helps...thanks again for something great
He does it again!
MusicMan,
Nicely done!
Can you describe the easiest way to modify the shortcut locations/change the icons? Some of the shortcuts don't work, probably because I have installed programs on the storage card vs device proper.
Is there a way to set the default page? (so the phone shortcuts always pop up first?)
Thanks again!

hi,
i would like to know is it possible to have two instances of rltoday plugin in the today plugin options? how can i duplicate it?
i would to like to use one rltoday plugin for one tab of ultimate launcher and another rltoday plugin for another tab in ultimate launcher. so that i can put different objects on the different tab.
if not, is there any other today plugin that would allow icon/image (link) to be in any size (very large) and in any position by determining its x and y values
thanks for the help
Have you by any chance asked that on the rltoday forum?
That would indeed be perfect for UL.

You MAY find renaming the dll and then renaming the 'new' today item in the registry in HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Today/Itemsand then repointing the path to the newly-renamed dll.
I just did this with Effcom's redio toggler to test it. Don't have or use rltoday. Now there are 2 togglers on Today on my hermes and both function. Today items that don't just have the 1 DLL would be more complicated - dunno where rltopay fits into that.
Glad you asked because now I know it can be done. Could be useful.
rltoday does seem to have oly 1 dll.
At least that's what I find in it's installation folder.
However, wouldn't I have to rename it before installing the .cab?
How would I fo that?
trying to come up with something different from the normal small or squared button/icons
this is what i have come up with so far... still not quite done
it doesn't show everything on the screen... but with a swipe of a finger, you can change to a different page view showing different items (thanks to ultimate launcher)
i also removed the top bar and bottom bar, plus replacing the need to press the ok/close (x) button by using center button of the (trackpad?) just like the iphone - one button and your back to the homescreen (in this case the today screen) using AEbutton plus
considering to use something like the vistahide battery gauge to show signal strength
tell me what you think

I was trying to do this a while back and indeed changing the dll name and registry values allowed me to have two instances of rltoday in the today screen. The problem was both rltoday were reading from the same ini file that sets up the skin, so basically I would have two copies of the same skin. If I changed one, so did the other. Unfortunatelly I could get around that at the time.

I think you could achieve the effect you want by using BatteryStatus. It doesn't allow to position images by directly giving their xy coordinates, but instead places them in multiple rows. But you still have the ability to shift images up/down/sideways, so they don't have to be aligned.
As a bonus you'll be able to display signal strength, battery and memory state, and a few more things.
i would like to add the sms,call,mail sticky note to my today screen can you tell me how you did it. thanks

wow love the simplicity!
keep it up, this might be a skin i might try... ooo....
might not fit in this section of the forum.. but...
whoever's a cultmember of Black... you're invited to download the following.
1. If you want to remove the taskbar and softkeys (idea taken from bluemetalaxe)..
put vjtoggle.. in the startup folder under \Windows
2. If you're up for the transparent or blue HTC Home backgrounds you need to use HHC..(HTC Home Customizer).. (www.pocketemu.com).. put the Transparent and WM7 folders in the bg folder in the HHC installation folder.
3. to put the WM7 icons just put WM7ico in icons folder in HHC inst folder.
4. Of course, classicblack.tsk is the classic black skin for the today screen.
5. Use Smartskey (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=256525) to map your Start Menu and OK/Close Hotkeys if you're up for using VJtoggle to lose your taskbar and softkeys..
6. Use BatteryMeter to see the batterylevel on top always if using VJToggle (http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-vistahide-battery-gauge-v1-1-1.html)
if you decide to lose the taskbar you can use another phonealarm skin which contrains both signal and battary status...
FYI. background pictures take up ram and slow the device. also, the blacker a screen is the longer the screen will live (less power is spent on lighting the screen) (just finished a Modern Physics course in the Uni.. )
so whoever has a slow device and/or wants to keep his screen alive longer (such as myself.. having a 195MHz wizard).. enjoy..

the right scr (and current one), also has a transparent Phonealarm skin which doesn't take too much space but controls bluetooth and wifi from the today screen.
the iconset is a bit blueish thanks to a WM7 iconset and the systray has been removed completely. also, the Handyswitcher icon on the upperleft corner can be changed from within handyswitcher to anything else.
If you want to change your device's colors (fonts, menus, windows,... EVERYTHING)... to black.. you can use UI Tweaker:

ClassicBlack RAR Download Link:
http://rapidshare.com/files/117831115/ClassicBlack_.rar.html
Thx, it looks nice
And for those who would like to have it with startmenu bar but without the softkeys: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320349&highlight=hide+softkeys
See there step 3 for the registry values.
nir36,
Thanks for this. The black background is very black; Best rendition of black I have yet seen on a ppc. Most blacks tend to be grey.
Well done.
WB
if anyone knows how to change the color of the font to make it a bit darker.. (save more energy ).... and ditch that scrollbar... please let me know
also...
make sure when using VJToggle.. if you change StartSize to see the Taskbar change it to 26 DECIMAL.
Looks nice....
Great job.....
i heard there is a special char blackclock for HTC home which is lighted on the edges.. if anyone finds it, i'd apperciate if you post it here so i can add it to the RAR.. and use it myself
nice work
thank you
SoloBlack Theme
Here is my contribution for the Black Theme fans out there....
I have been trying to get a nice, clean and professional Black environment to go along with the beautiful black X500+ and get rid of the boring grey layout inside the applications.
So far I've managed to get my device to look like the pictures below (nice black interface with a cool dark grey/orange effect for selections):
The tools I used:
Soloblack Theme (tsk attached) - just copy to the /windows/ folder on your device and select from the Theme selection screen. Nice thing about this tsk is the size. 15Kb ONLY!
UI Tweaker (scheme provided) - http://mobile-sg.com/ - it's freware and you can inport the color scheme provided.
Optional:
SKTools - http//www.s-k-tools.com - I'm pretty sure the tsk and the scheme files attached will fix all colours. If not you might need this application to do some additional tweaking. Most of the colors can be customized using UI Tweaker but a few need additional tweaking sofwares like SKtools. I can provide my SKTools configuration screens if you guys need it.
Note that SKtools is a commercial app but there are freeware with similar UI tweaking possibilities.
It's very hard to get a pure black environment. Even in this case a pure black and white is very difficult since each developer picks it's own settings for colors. I've been trying back and forth for almost a week now to get this far so if any one
Problems so far:
1. TCPMP - lower buttons are all white. You need to select them to read
2. Messaging - Message head needs to be selected to be read
If anyone finds a fix please post here.
This colour scheme was made for a X500+ running WM6.1 custom ROM but should work on all WM5/WM6 devices.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! If you don't like selecting the default themes should get your device original colours back.
beautiful
Nice SoloBlack...

Thank you.
My basic black theme is less than 2KB in size (TSK file with today background and color scheme only).
Link
I have also compiled links of black-based themes/skins over here.
Manilla2d is really impressive shell of course, but there's no some really needed functions, that we can use in basic today shell. I was really disappointed in absence of two things in it: the first one is interface-styled locker/unlocker and the second one is an ability to use basic today plugins. Of course, we've got another software solutions to fix it, but their's problem is that they don't fit to manilla's interface conception. I've tried to solve this problems, and now i'd like to share my results. Dont kick me pls=))
Eferything posted below was made for using with this theme (with background from this one) with this clock pack. You can repaint it as you wish, consider this all an exampe or an idea=))
1. S2U2. S2U2 imho is the best solution for lock/unlock device. You can find it here. (My version is 0.86) We can use it as is, but iphone-like slider don't looks native to manilla2d. To make it looks more suitable i'd to fully repaint a slider, and this is what i got at the end.

}
Moving part is an icon of a padlock. When moving it looks strange of course, but the only another variant i got was without unlock animation at all. So this one better)) In archive you can find gfx folder from s2u2 (to install delete your current one, there's nedded some files not to be) and lang.ini file with fixed time format string (HH:mm instead of H:mm). This skin as it is is not suitable fot those who uses slide 2 answer opion, because i didn't paint it))
2. Today plugins. The main trouble of manilla2d as i guess is that there's no a widget to install another today plugins. To solve this problem i needed the following soft:
SecondToday - virtual today-like screen.
HomeScreen PlusPlus - today plugin that allows free positioning of elements,
MortScript - script language for pda.
spacer and spacer2 (attached) - two copies of today plugin what allows to make spacers between another plugins.
So what i've done:
1. Install this all;
2. Make a screenshot of manilla to set it to background of secondToday.
3. Run SecondToday and set spacer as a first plugin. The only way to configure spacers on SecondToday i found is edit the registry. So go to HKCU//software/pocketMax/Spacer and set height of it to 40 (maybe you like another height above your first plugin)
4. Connect in SecondToday below spacer plugins you need to be shown. Set spacer2 below them. Do nothing in tegistry for a while.
5. The most interesting. After the spacer2 set HomeScreenPlusPlus. Pot into its directory two setting sets from archive. The first one is to make setup easier, the second is working one. Open properties of HomeScreenPlusPlus -> advanced and select where sttoday_temp xml.
6. After that you need to change height of spacer2 to put tapzones on the backgoung images like it on the screen. This parameter is in HKCU//software/pocketMax/Spacer2. Don't forget to shut up second today after every try to see changes))
7. Put 5 scripts from archive into /Program Files/MortScript/scripts (or somewhere you want, but change paths in HomeScreenPlusPlus XMLs).
8. Try it. Of corse, sliding won't work, but tapping to zones will open vidget painted on background)))
9. Change sttoday_temp to sttoday it settings of HomeScreenPlusPlus.
10. Put a shortcut of SecondToday to programs widget of manilla.
11. Voila! You got something like below (Remember that you can't slide in this window)
I know it's not the best solution, but i don't want to change functionality to beauty)) This variant is a compromise i think)) In archive you can find S2U2 skin, MortScript scripts, HomeScreen++ themes and two spacers. Good luck in installation=))
ps. sorry my english))
Nice work!
Can you make a VGA version of your S2U2 theme?
another important feature about manilla 2d is NO notifications button or screen..u have to tap the taskbar to see them..
Wow

2. Today plugins. The main trouble of manilla2d as i guess is that there's no a widget to install another today plugins. To solve this problem i needed the following soft:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Jiles.....this is simply sweet!
Now I can have my own plugins on M2..love it
Give me a minute I need to finish configuration and I'll be back. I've a small request. I assigned second today to FtouchSL so i just need to swipe the bottom screen fast to open it. So I would like you to help me change motorscript files to point to specific tabs.
Jiles how can I change motorscripts files to assign the last icon to Programs, next one to Settings then the rest in order to Photos, maps and Internet?
2-Arturo- i'm in suspence about MortScript i'll try of course
2johanromijn thanks! about VGA sorry i'm afraid i have no device to try on.
ADD 2-Arturo- by series of taps only i'm afraid. As i remember, MortScript cannot slide, only tap (command MouseClick(x, y))
Thanks Jiles
Add2 about the swipes I was talking about this program http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=338143
I don't know if you heard about it but you can assign any aplication to "swipes" left, right, up, down etc. So I was saying that I assigned secondtoday to right swipe it's much more convenient because I don't have to access "Programs" tab to activate secondtoday. I just need to swipe somwhere on the screen from left to right to activate it. In other words you can open it from main screen of Manilla or from contacts screen etc. Try it out
Oh and thanks again for trying to change the motoscripts files. I appreciate it
Ok it took me a while but this is how my secondtoday looks like

2-Arturo- Hmmm.. I on the contrary try to disable FTouchFlo on the today screen, cause it makes its native slide lagging The best solution would be to place secondToday on not-working manilla widget "operator", but i hardly can guess how to do it

Yes that would be lovely...well maybe in future someone will figure it out...finger crossed
Really Amazing! I am impressed. Thanks for sharing the info and the needed files.
Updated to ADW latest github
I hacked up ADW launcher to have a MIUI'sih dock. It's nothing special but I kinda dig it so i figured id dump it here to share. I'm pretty sure it will only work in portrait mode because i never use landscape i didn't bother modding that source.
Thanks to Anderweb for having such a great open source project!
Thanks to Jrizzill for having such great icons!
- ADWSettings->Main Dock Style->5 Icons has been changed, to have 4 large icons as in pictures below. You must have ADWSettings->UI Settings->Dockbar checked to have swipe gesture open/close app drawer properly.
- Get icons here.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/team-d1-miui/88474-miui-themed-icons.html
- To open/close the app drawer, swipe the dock apps.
- To add a MIUI icon to the dock
1) long press, select custom shortcut
2) press pick your activity, press applications, select application
3) click the icon to the left of the "pick your activity" button, navigate to the one you want to use, click ok.
4) drag and drop it into the dock.
- Use desktop visualizer (1x1 small) for other desktop shortcuts.

OMG this is exactly what I've been looking for. Seriously when i switched from the Incredible to the Fascinate, the one thing I really missed was MIUI and having the large dock. I've been trying to hack launcher pro but this is great! Thank you so much.
Does this need root?
Awesome!
There are only a few bugs that I have found.
- For some reason I can't seem to trash anything on the screen :O Drag to the top of the screen and nothing happens, just reappears on the bottom.
- Sometimes when hitting the home button it forgets what apps are in the dock until I open the tray and close it.
Not sure if those have to do with the version that you compiled, or ADW itself. Anyhow not trying to get down on ya, considering this is exactly what I was looking for!
Can't wait for 2.2 MIUI!

don't believe so
For all those out there using blackhole rom's if you are using the embedded ADW then you can't install this for some reason. I had to reinstall a clean rom with TW and then install this APK.
EDIT:
Sorry for the double post
Glad you guys like it. I will try and fix/tweak a few things. Also will try to make it so that it can be installed side by side with stock ADW.
1) haven't had that happen with missing dock apps. try using the old dock implementation, that's the config i'm using? will mess around with it.
2) do you see the trash icon appear at the top of the screen? try and drag it all the way up to the top and drop it there. it works for me.
3) you don't need root, but if you are using some ROM with ADW pre-installed, just remove it from /system/app and drop this apk in there.

Odd, how do I implement the old dock config? Also yes the trash can appears, I drag the icon up, it turns red then it reappears at the original location just does not want me to change the setup haha
hmm weird with the delete.
make sure that this is not checked.
ADW Settings -> UI Settings -> Dockbar

Ok, found it. Still seems to have the same issue sometimes. Once in a while only 2 icons in the tray will appear in the center, until I open the app drawer then close it. Once I do that all is good again.
i updated a new build, try that one.
How do I use these icons in adw? Step by step if possible.
updated to 1.3.1 and added some instructions.
tried using desktop virtualizer to make the other icons. It works but there small. How do I make them larger. I'm using the icons in the link you provided.
Thanks
The large icons in the dock seem a bit fuzzy.Am I the only one having this problem?
I used hd icons btw
updated to latest github commits.
"Application not installed" over and over
*Nm. Got it
Hi,
You've done a fantastic job.
But can you build a version with dock bar like the dock on mac os? It should look like this image below

Please copy and paste, i do not have permission to post image here.
MIUI
icons in this launcher are bad, can you port MIUI ADW theme for this? becouse theme haves good icons from MIUI and can you made dock from MIUI(screen indicator, dock style). If this`ll complete, launcher`ll looks pretty good) thanks!
Hey there,
Why cannot be installed on Eclair 2.1?
* LE: I made a mistake, it's working now. Agree with with the fuzzy icons in the dock. And also, is there a way to increase the number of rows? I like the icons to have also their labels, and only this is how it will going to work. Thanks.
Can we change the dockbar??
