Manilla skins? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

Hi!
I just downloaded L.Sylvain Manila Calculator Skin which makes the ugly calculator to look like the rest of the phone. This really made a difference and i really liked it, to bad HTC doesnt think of these things.
Anyway, i was wondering if there were any other skins like that?
regards

Windows Mobile 5.0 Themes???

I haven't found any info on this matter...
I have tons of WM 2003SE tsk themes, but... they don't work with WM 5.0 in my Universal...
Do you know where can I find compatible themes? I tried wisbar advance desktop, but it is still in beta... I'm looking for simple tsk themes that work in WM 5.0
Any help would be appreciated.
Someone posted this a while back, I beleive you need the Pocket PC SE VGA to work with the Universal. I have not tried it yet, so do post back if they do work.
http://www.wmthemes.com/default.aspx
It doesn't work. The lower two softkeys don't change their colour, and the wallpaper appears like grey, even if it has... every colour of the rainbow.
I'm really surprised that M$ hasn't announced a theme maker for WM 5.0... And more surprised that there are only 1-2 themes available for WM 5.0 devices...
Really unfortunate...

try mine. i've been playing for a while. some of them are really cool. tell me what do you guys think??? rename the extention to .tsk
More to come....
svyatko you rock! Excellent themes at last!!! Send more plz!
How did you make them my friend? With what kind of software?
Thanx also for the other links to the other friend who post them
Hi svyatko,
Are you using a launcher? How did you get to show so many icons on your screen?
What is the colorful round icon near the battery icon?
Very nice themes. How did you create them?
Great themes svyatko!
I dont seem to have the additional icons!
Do I need to install flash or anything?
guys thanks for your comments. Now, all icons I have , are RESCO TODAY PLUG-IN. it's pretty cool. and it doesn't slow the system like SPB POCKET PLUS one. The icon in the corner next to the battery is POCKET INFORMANT icon.
and regarding the software I am using, its something like McDEV Theme creator. I can't remember the axact name, coz i'm @ work, sneakely writing from my Exec ;-))
yess! The program is ThemeMaker McDeb and it works...
At last I made my own themes based on the ones provided here! Thanx again my friend, it works great.
i'm glad you made it. the only problem I find difficult to solve is the dimentions of the picture. no matter how I tried, the picture gets cut in landscape or in portrait modes. it's obviously not a big deal in an abstract pictures, but in something more precise, that is a great pain in the ass...
Do you have a link for the resco today plugin?

I cant seem to locate the network browser on the trial download. What can it do? Anyone got any first hand experience?

and seems that way from their site, but maybe im wrong..

Cool looks
Waiting for a rip
Looks like a clone of SPB Pocket Plus to me.
any update?!
looks like **** for me (i will decide if i am joking soon..)..
I think it is flash!
i want it now
spb plus 4 is better
you can have the same look or even better functionality with:
spb pocket plus 4 latest release
you can change pp4 origial horizotal bars to vertical throiugh the spb options to look like this LG one
and you also get all the added functions as scrolling & repeating alarms that way
@ahmedfikry
could you explain it more detailed? are there KS20 skins or icons available for pocket plus 4?
i attempted to create something like this in flash, search for LG prada flash, hopefully i can try finish it this week. ITs basically the LG Prada UI in flash try it out tell me what you think, hopefully we can get this ported soon!! Looks great
Seriously considering the KS20 at my next phone if T-Mobile UK take it on

Look at the animations.
The WM6 surface has been completely reworked, like Touch has.
-We need the Internet Explorer zooming
-Today Plugin
-Letter recognizer (write anywhere on screen)
-Black WMP skin
This surface is amazing!

It is very interesting overhaul of big part of UI. Today plugin is very nice and start menu also - looks better than HTC Enlarge start menu...

Blue PsShutXP skin any device

I've just done some changes to a psShutXP skin i was using, not sure whether it was Zippy1970's or someone else on this forum, but thanks for the good work with the original skin whoever it was
though i'd share so here it is...
just unzip into program files\psshutxp on your device
This is very cool i was getting tired of the skins that were floating around.
This one is looking very nice.
Thank you very much for your work.
Looking good!
yeah.. its nice.. thx for sharing
I have a touch pro, so I didn't like the touch diamond text so I removed it. Here it is if anyone else wanted it
Think you could point us to the original skin though?
If I could find the original skin i'd post the link, formated my pc since and can't find the original.....sorry!

TF3D without the 3d

Hi
Is it possible (or been explored) to have the TF3D from the HD etc on our polaris without the 3D aspect. I like the look of the tabs and there shortcuts but don't want the 3D driver problems.
Cheers
TF3D without the 3D is well....TF2D...lol
All the latest roms have it, it isnt exactly the same as TF3D, the "people" tab is different and we dont have a stocks tab but its as close as we are going to get.
I think should be a nice idea to have the slide of the picture tabs like the one in footprint. the same animation could be made on contacts (but I preferr the current version)
cheers
Its all the little shortcuts on the contacts tabs etc, and the calender tab that interest me, the flippy bits not so much. Basically moving away from anything to do with the bog standard WM appications that are touch unfriendly (i know third party software is out there

Have you looked at Throttle Launcher? Works fine and has many skins. Might be worth checking out?
ThrottleLaucnher is very slow on my Polaris
Not on yours?

Only used it for a while and not for some time - went back to Manilla 2D cos I like it better. Another one you might want to look at is PointUI. Now I was playing with that just the other day and that's got some kinda cool elements in it and not slow at all.
I guess there's no perfect solution, except the one that suits you best.
Yes, I'm currently under PointUi Home2 and I like it. My question was for information only ^^

Performance suggestion . Disable wallpaper

hey there
first i am sorry if this posting is against the forum rules, i do hope that it is not however.
here is my idea:
The Toch HD seems to be running much faster without any wallpaper. E.g. when the background of Manila is just black an there is no wallpaper at all, it scrolls more fluently.
so, is there any way to completely disable all the wallpapers in manila 2.5? in my case, i got the energy rom which sets wallpapers for all tabs by default, can i disable this?
i think we would get a nice performance boost.
regards, burobernd
p.s: no just taking a black picture file wont do the trick ..
x2
is there a cab to disable the wallpaper in home screen of Sense 2.5?
Bguards
Hello, do you mean when you use the standard wallpaper of manila?
I've one Idea. You could use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503511
With this programm you integrate a custom Wallpaper in Manila like its the standard wallpaper. So the wallpaper is a Manila file and not a jpg oder so...
Hope it helps

not using standard wallpaper nor installing cab created with HDWall, just remove all wallpapers in registry HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila, it would be obviously faster within manila 2.5.
Yes right but i have something to say... where are we going ? We need more and more Speed and often we want thinks from our Blackstone that he just CANT handle LOL my point is okay we can do many things for faster Manila so now we will remove all wallpapers and the phone will be with blank black screen ok.. so also we can CFC edit the manila images to make them alot more light but of course this will cause they to be not the best quality and the manila will be even faster.. then if we want we even can remove totaly some of the tabs and the Manila wil be more faster.. and alot other tweaks like this.. But my question is What we doing exactly? To be honest i prefer my device to be more slow but to look good and i to feel good when im playing with it.. so you spend alot of money for this device and on the final you even can`t have a wallpapr? LOL if someone need so Much Speed can buy Leo or Nexus One witch i think is the better choice right now..
We can make many many tweaks to have faster Interface but we will lose the quality and the beauty of that Interface
tsalta, this is a very interesting thought you have.
however, i see it differently: with all those shortcuts and weather icon and stuff on the homescreen, i think there are already enough (maybe even too much) items on it.
so, effectively, when setting a colorful wallpapers, the screen gets all messy which i dont like at all: no wallpaper at all allows me to have the clean and professional look i want to have, and yield a little bit of speed.
it is true that we should not pretend to have a leo with a 1ghz processor in it, so manila 2.5 might be a questionable choice. but, as it happens, the majority does want it on their phones, and then so be it. if they prefer a wallpaperless manila 2.5 to a wallpapered manila 2.1, that's legit!
and one last thing: i for my part didn't chose manila 2.5 because of the fancy homescreen but because of the many tiny fixes and enhancements in all the other tabs.
but as i said, you are right if you say that some roms are just loaded with fancy stuff that might run well on a leo, but not on our blackstone.
cheers
Yes yes it's just personal preference for speed or for eye candy. That's why many people are still using winmo 6.1 and many people are using energy's ROM. Thanks for the chefs here we get plenty of choices to balance our need
Actually it's kinda out of topic in the ROM development forum
MOD EDIT - Feel this thread is more suited in General discussion forum
