THEME + RINGTONE + PHONE DIALLER all-in-one CAB file

Firstly thanks to all those who contributed knowledge, picture files etc in the production of this cab file.
This 'super theme' does a few things -
changes phone dialler skins in both landscape and portrait mode
changes dial buttons in both potrait and landscape views aswell as in the progress screen and dial screens
changes missed/incoming/outgoing notifications in call history
changes the ringtone to the matrix soundtrack
adds the matrix theme to 'my documents' folder.
what i am struggling with is to automate the matrix.tsk file automatically rather than manually setting the file.
i added this to my extended rom so the only other thing it didnt apply is the black bars on the task bars etc.
apart from that give me your verdict on rounghly a weeks work.....
ps the file is 4mb due to the ringtone and also i would like the data for the 'video' button so that i can amend the registry to fit in with the rest of the theme. thanks.

EDIT : Schroll further down for the updated version and a smaller file size.

Nice, can anyone do some more, don't want matrix on my cell

Thanks a lot .. works perfect

Hi 16cum,
What application are you using for your meters? Any slow downs?

i am using a simple one called batterybar.arm
attached
nice and simple an deasy to use doesnt slow the system down much, only thing is it was designed for WM2003 so sometimes shows charging and sometimes battery full, but after a single tap starts to behave!
re other screen shots well i am hoping to do Star Wars theme, but give me a bit of time and will post

nice work 16cum :wink: give us more !!

Hello
A few glitches sorted out with the cab files, they still do what i said they would the difference is now they are about 1mb in size, i have cut down the ringtone to 33 secs so drastically reduce the file size with compromising quality.
the rest is the same. you will still need to apply the theme via the Today Screen settings as as yet i havent been able to apply directly. Unless someone can help me!!! anyway
Enjoy Starwars and Matrix!!!!
Plz leave feedback on these and any requests and am also considering starting a website for these Super Themes so can have them all in one place.
Thanks

Forgot to add:
Use any cab file on your Exec, and just install. It will restart the device, then goto settings>today and apply the theme.
If you want the other one instead just transfer the other cab file and click to install. It will automatically uninstall the first theme and install the 2nd one and just the same goto the settings>today and apply the new theme.
This way you dont use a lot of storage space and program memory., you only use the 1mb for each theme in you device or better still SD card.
thanks

Err I am no longer using The Matrix theme but it is still shows up on the dial pad section? How do i remove it?
Edit: Found it under remove programs

Today launcher that supports big icons ?

Hello everybody !
After numerous attempts to customize my HTC trinity for a thumb-based experience, I finally got onto some applications that really do the job :
- Tene's PocketCM for the contacts
- ArticCat's OTO for the calendar (works well so far, however I hope to see more of it soon)
- Paulya's Vista II dialer replacement
- A_C's S2U for the lock and S2V for the pics viewer
- HTC's PhonePad for the SIP and Mediaplayer for the music player
- SPB's Mobile Shell for the navigation and the menus.
What I'm missing is a launcher that would work as a today plugin, and that would support large icons in PNG format (thus, with alpha transparency). By "big" I mean "larger than the default 32x32 pixels that all launchers support" - 48 or 60 pixels beeing the size I'm after (something large enough for my fat thumbs ). I don't need tab support, since there are only a small number of apps I want to access from the today screen (typically 8-12).
Do you know if anything that'd meet my needs exists for WM5? Even for a small/reasonable fee (means, around 10-15$) ?
Thanks a million in advance !

I think i used claunch to put a really big shortcut (64x64px) on my todayscreen
Greetings, Vi

ThrottleLauncher
Search for the ThrottleLauncher thread here. No Today plugin yet but all indications are that it will be coming. Great launcher, you can size the rows the pictures are in to any size you wish. I am using 56picsels by 56picsels.

pocketage - no size limit

I tried to install PocketAge from the latest CAB I could find on this board, but something must have gone bad... My Trinity is now stuck as reboot
Everytime I soft-reset it, it got stuck then block at the following step :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Of course, none of the hard or soft buttons work and I can't dismiss this reminder. I tried to remove the corresponding event from outlook but I couldn't manage to sync the device. I noticed I can access the device filesystem. One strange thing, though, makes me thing that the system is not completely frozen : the clock on the reminder changes and shows the correct time.
Any idea how to recover my phone without having to hard-reset it ? Thanks !!!

yeah, claunch is a good one. it's a today plugin and you can use custom icons. not sure if they are png though never tried it. it has way more options than you need but you can configure it how you want....

Today CommManager (skin BatteryStatus)

Hi,
Here's the last skin I made for BatteryStatus.
It's designed to be only a "Today CommManager", like Effcomm, but more graphical.
DiamondWSwitch
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Features :
- toggle BT, WiFi and phone
- hold 1 second to have a little menu appear to select options concerning the item
Install :
- install batterystatus advanced (http://www.chi-tai.info/download/BatteryStatusExt.1.05.CAB)
- copy the dir and the XML file from the zip to \Windows\BatteryStatus
- change the theme in the options of BatteryStatus (Advanced Tab)
I also put the "older" version :
WirelessSwitch
Same features, same install, different look.
Tested on a Kaiser with stock ROM.
Enjoy

cool , super ton idée ton skin ..
it beautifull, great idée ;D

Very nice, looks great and works well. Great for people like me who are too lazy to open the real comm manager.

Cool, thanks!

just a question : what is the calendar plugin you use on the today in the DiamondWSwitch picture ?
I try to find something that will just display enough calendar info without scrolling bar on the right.
thanks

Bug feedback
Hi,
I'm using the Wireless Today Switch, which I think is fantastic, so thank you for the effort that went into making it. I have disabled the background by removing the line in the xml and the background png. I think it is line three. Anyway, one think I have noticed is that when you press and hold the phone button, whether the phone is on or not, the bottom option in the context menu is always "Turn off phone". The functionality works, i.e. it does switch the phone on when it's off, but the text is wrong. I'll have a look at it later myself but do you know an easy solution to this? I'll post the no background edit with a screen shot later today.
Cheers,
andrew-in-woking

The single thing I did is the XML and the graphics, the other functions are Batterystatus's. So is this little bug

It's TodayAgenda. The great thing with this plugin, is that you can set a fix size... Set it to 62 and it's perfect

Screen shots & no background
Hi,
I've attached the edited skin with no background with a general screen shot and one of the menu error.

Did you download the advanced version of Batterystatus ? (just click the link on the first post)

iPhone Theme/No WiFi (Perfect for HTC Touch)
Sorry for resurrecting such an old thread, but this seemed as appropriate a place as any to post this.
Though skinning and such is not my usual forte, I put enough work into this that it's only fair to share. This app was exactly what I was looking for when I decided I wanted a bluetooth on/off switch on my today screen... but, I really wanted it to match my iPhone icons. The result is attached. I've eliminated the wifi toggle since my HTC Touch has no wifi.

Thanks, how do you apply the font? Copying it \Windows\Fonts\ is not enough!? In XMT the fonts don't appear on the font tab.

damn!
this is amazing!
i love it.
very original.

Awesome theme, as always
How do you make your themes? I see Mac OS X files in the .zip, so do you use a Mac?

i made a miniColour blue iContact theme that kinda matches

Very nice! Great design! Nice to see colours and with light!

Great work chriscsh! Congrats! Looks awesome

Thanks all guy
just upload some file for S2P to match the miniColour Theme

vga fonts dimensio mismatch in my case

Very nice, very original. Excellent work

TouchFlo Skin for Pocket Player

I decided to update wired69's vga touchflo skin for wvga devices. It's a skin for Conduits Pocket Player
Simply tap the center of the screen to switch between the various views:
Standard View >> Large Spectrum Analyser View >> Album Art View
I am too lazy to make my own screenshots so here are the vga ones to get a preview of what it looks like:
Standard WVGA Version
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
WVGA Playlist Enabled Version
]
WVGA Landscape Version
NOTE: Recommended Vis settings: Enable Small Spectrum Analyser
The musical note icon on the bottom left will call up the 'Now Playing' screen whilst the settings (cog) icon will toggle the Equaliser on or off.
I plan on tweaking it further but thought I would share it for now so please leave feedback.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: Extract the PSZ file and copy it to where you have installed Pocket Player (e.g. "<storage>\Program Files\Pocket Player" or "<storage>\Program Files\Conduits\Pocket Player" if using an older version).

Post #1 updated with new version

Some small mistakes corrected. Attachment updated accordingly

Thanks for this. Can you modify this for 6.5.x? Screen shot of your skin on 6.5.3 attached.

Can you upload/send me a screenshot with the correct dimensions? I am still running 6.5 (without the .X) and need to know the exact number of pixels to adjust.

Umm, that is a un-modified screenshot taken with Shake and Save.

I believe the uploader modifies picture sizes automatically. The picture from the site downloads as 365x608 pixels but it should be 480x800. The best method is to upload to a picture image site and the link directly to the picture's url

Would this be fine?

I fixed the problem for win 6.5.x it's very simple you just have to make the background some pixel longer no need to edit script.txt
Oh and you can switch from playlist to album art just by taping in the top right corner of the player(where the small album art is). I have turned off small visualization and all visualisations and put a button there instead in my personal version of this skin.(Not the one I uploaded) Anyway great work it's years that I use pocket player with very ugly skins.

^^Thanks. Works fine here, except it defaults to the default skin when in landscape. Np that, though. Thanks again!

pocket player uses a different skin for landscape so you have to select the one you prefer by accessing options in landscape mode. The landscape version of this skin is not working for me anyway.

I can't believe it's taken me THIS long to find this thread! Awesome! Thank you so much!
A question, though: is there any way to make a shortcut to the Lyrics anywhere? From the main screen?
I've tried contacting Conduits for help with this, but no response

This is the best skin ever!!! I agree with above...perhaps the EQ button could become lyrics? It's rare to want to switch EQ on and off...

great skin, looking for something like this since a long time, i was stuck with a qvga one since my kaiser days
again, great work, and thanks
