Hey guys,
Ive been working very hard at getting Manila2d to work in landscape (when you flip out the keyboard while manila2d is active then it will automatically switch today plugins)
this is the last piece of the puzzle: i need a today plugin that works in landscape and that can be skinned to look like TOuchflo 3d in landscape (basically skinnable shortcuts)
if i get it working ill release a .cab!
thanks guys
something like RLtoday maybee???
Very curious how it looks in landscape on my Kaiser

thanks for the suggestion mate.
however after Googling it i saw that it was more than just a few shortcuts, even though it could easly be skinned. can you have it where it only displays shortcuts? if yes, then i will definitely try it out
recommend the landscape same as HTC touchpro after flip out keyboard
http://www.htc.com/www/product/touchpro/overview.html
yes, thats exactly how i want to skin it.
does anyone have any othersuggestions for programs that might work for this?

If you want it like that maybee something like mortbuttons is a better option...
Don't know if it's easy to skin..
thanks again man
i just downloaded mortbuttons and it appears that its only a standalone applicationa dn not actually a today plugin, but i think im missing something.
ok: can a developer whip up someting really small thats just a today plugin thats made for landscape that looks and acts like the touch pro's landscape?
thanks
I could make an rlToday skin super fast for ya. Tonight even. QVGA I assume? I'll leave the purdy graphics to you, I'll just make a template. How's that sound?
I would focus on Touch Dual and Action Screen.
When you sliding the keyboard of Touch Dual - the action screen starting up. Maybe something similar is done on Touch Pro.
Cheers,
Chris

1stly : the wasy u guys help each other out - like a family - I LUV DAT...!! 2ndly I SSSOOO LUV DIS FORUM...!!! As soon as I have cleared my overdraft am donating. Dyin with anticipation for TF3D to arrive.
Nearly done, but it's 3am here in Aus I'm going to hit the sack, and will upload the completed one tomorrow.
It's based entirely on rlToday, and respects rlToday's application shortcut menu [so all customisation of app names and links can be done without touching XML ]. Nothing fancy, no animations, but it'll work.
Edit:
That's a lie. My trickery to over-ride what I was going for didn't work, so to edit the shortcuts you'll have to dive into XML for now, until I can find a way around it
are youy actualy working on manila2d or skining some other app that looks like it?
What about HTC HOME? that works in landscape
Ask APBilbo. He made something similar with ThrottleLauncher in landscape.
Any news on the landscape???...my kaiser is screaming for it
i am close on landscape look at the pictures below
I've got my somewhat finished rlToday skin here if you'd like me to upload it. All it needs is the XML to be changed to link to whatever apps you want, and change the icons to whatever you want.
Give me a yell if you still need it.
what about today life? Not sure if thats what your looking for.

MortButtons?!
You can either bring up a skinned Menu or the Buttons Today Pugin.
Not sure if that's what your after.
But it would be drawn to the screen much faster then RL.

I 2nd the motion for HTC Home, its easy to use, elegant, and much more useful than a simple action screen. If HTC Home isn't the OP's preference, can we have a second version of the program that supports HTC Home?

Guys guys!
I posted this at PointUI forum aswell!
Listen up, is there anyone here that knows how to skin PocketCM?
It will be great, and i think a good idea, if we can try and design a PocketCM skin to fit PointUI?
Blue with white stuff in it??
I saw that PocketCM is quite skinnable.
What do you guys think? That way we can integrate PocketCM to fit PointUI?
I think it will be great! Any toughts?
skinning's not the problem. But scroll direction is.

It doesnt really matter....
Let PointUI scroll as it is. And Pocket CM as it is.
If someone can just skin it, to get it to fit with PointUI, it will look great......
And as we all know, pocket CM is great, it will be a nice compliment for each other......
- Grab an already excisting skin
- Change the extension .cmt to .zip and unzip it with winrar or something
- Change the background with this background: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355766
- Change the colours of every .png to a colour you want with photoshop or someting (in photoshop use ctr+u)
- zip it and change it to .cmt again
Good luck
Hope you like it!
It need some explaining:
- Extra large contact, with large pictures
- Removed the "filter" button, I never use it.. (it is still there in the settings.ini)
Still to do:
- Adjust some of the colors like, highlight buttons, grey bar at the top, grey highlight of the letters at the side...
Please give me comments...
I'm thinking about making a skin like the phone-log in PointUI, but I'm not sure it is possible in PocketCM to create a "always on top" image at the top of the screen...
Great
you did a great job, i will try the theme myself. thnx
Daanmannetje: great job but need finalize this theme
Ok, here is the improved version,
Do any of you know if it is possible to change the color of the selection?
Now PocketCM uses inverted colors, but it is ugly!
(Blue buttons at the bottom turn yellow if pressed)
I really like the concept. Recently fell in love with PointUI, and have been a big fan of PocketCM. My PocketCM started acting up after changing to this theme though. Soft reset my device, and still the same issue. Looks really good tho!
there's this one being develped: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356850
My theme works without problems on v0.18, but can give some problems on 0.16 or 0.17...

Daanmannetje,
Would you consider adding an alternative skin with the "filter" button. I use it all the time?
Thanks,
cg
It is pretty easy to do yourself:
- open the zip file
- edit the settings.ini file (notepad)
- search for the part with the 0-33 33-66 and 66-100%
- the filter-icon is still there, I think i gave it 100-100% or something
- change it so it is 0-25 25-50 50-75 75-100
Have to admit, first thing I did was put the filter button back, which is a shame as the buttons background is wrong then and it ruins the skin.
really? I'll take a look at the button then...
EDIT:
you were right, here is the new button. Just add it to the .zip-file!
"Don`t" Forget the HTC Cube, but I made this with "UltimateLaunch". It rotates smooth every kind of screen, icon or pluginin in a cube.
Looks nice. Can we try it? Any demo?
Can you put photo speed dials like htc cube?
junior member. 9 posts. be careful where you tread when saying "forget..." when talking about a much respected project.
Looks amazing, can it have multiple plugins per cube, and if so when/where can we get it.
Ultimate Iphone Cube
I made it with the new "ultimatetaunch" from germany, this is the first launcher with touchflow.
youtube video: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=L5olemDlIRI&feature=related
discussion: http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthread.php?t=121695
it can do speedial, an you can add multiple plugins in each tab(Sides of the cube). The cube can have hundreds of sides. It IS the ULTIMATE Launch.
I made this special iphone-version for everyone and you can upload all icons and more here: http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showpost.php?p=1029815&postcount=459
There ist a full working demo-version of ultimatelaunch and you can buy it for 10 Euro:http://pocketland.de/39534/UltimateLaunch.html?SID=d1c64539375a8f367ebbea8474956206
UltimateLaunch is an app that can be downloaded. You may register but may also trial it for free, with no time limit nor feature limit. Merely a "not registered" writing here and there.
It's extremely configuration and you can have multiple plugins per cube as well as variable numbers of sides for the cube.
It is pretty fast and smooth no doubt, and is very close to replacing HTC Cube.
How do you do photo speed dial?

Ok I see, this is the UltimateLauncher program, sorry I misunderstood. Do you or anyone else have any idea if it is possible to have more than one Plugin per cube, right now I have SPB Weather but it only takes up a small portion and I would like to add more smaller plugins to fill that cube instead of making more cubes for small plugins (1-2 lines)???

Yes, you can use the combine function to add more than one plugin per cube.
This is indeed a great plugin. It made me disable my cube, task bar and softkey bar.
Herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1914197&postcount=42 is a detailed description of my today screen.
Photo Dialer is not problem at all. A few layers and gradients in gimp and you can have a few faces on glassy buttons as a speed dialer.
Cheers,
nc.
The Ultimate Launch is a blessing for the screensize-impared treos. Ahh... finially the scrollbar is gone. Instead of just having it scroll down, I just made the bottom half of the screen the ultimatelaunch and rotate it out. Looks a-m-a-z-i-n-g
Wow nc that's some beautiful interface.
Thanks for sharing!
Still very interested in how to make the photo dialer though, since I'm currently using SPB pocket plus for it, and that's ugly...

Photo dialling is a little tricky but there are a few ways to achieve it.
You need to change the format of your photos to .ico with a good photoshop tool - GIMP is a good freeware tool to achieve this (make sure you reduce the size of the photo to icon size say 60x60).
Then you need to link a program to do the ringing. Again there are a few options around:
1) cprog.exe -url tel: 12345678910 (this takes you to an editably box where you can change the number before dialling)
2) vijay555's dialler (which will automatically dial the conacts number)
3) gotocontact (which will take you to the default contacts page and give you options to ring mobile/home/business or send a text message).
It is a little tricky, but luckily I don't change my friends too often!
I have to agree that this is great software. I have stopped using cube launchers - as this is always running, is totally customisable and low on memory.
Thanks Lynehammike for the clarifications!
I don't change my friends often either so I'll give your options a go.
Thanks so much since I've been trying for quite awhile to figure out how to do this!
Btw, what's "gotocontact"?
Bloody hell, thanks mate! I kept wondering what the combine was for and found it strange that I could not add more than one plugin.

Press and hold on menu then select properties, under Action should be Toggle Dock and under Control it should be Menu. If thats all as it should be, then have you put the folders as i instructed, both as they are into Themes/Desktop/ if you've put them any where else it would not work.

cradle alarm is a good alternative.
SPB TIme is good because you can move alarms around the clock by dragging to change times and has a bunch of features like stop watches, etc.
Ive used so far the standard alarm app included with winmo. But its very annoying that when its alert, i only see small icon in info bar at the top of the screen, and its very hard to hit that and then disable the alarm when ur sleepy!
Does anyone knows plugin to the standard alarm, or a full application that lets u close the alert by simply turning the phone screen side down? Or a program that at least shows the alert in the screen, and having a big button to close it.
Edit: Never mind! The G-alarm looks like just what i described!

You download the cab on the link, then install it on the same place (ie if you G-alarm is in device, then also install the skin cab on device. After that , go to option and choose that skin.

Same experience with the standard alarm app here, but I think it's the touchflo 3d interface that messes up the alarm on my touch hd. With touchflo 3d disabled the standard alarm app is able to provide much more feedback and control. Could this be a touchflo 3d error?
Hi,
I've just came up with an idea, which would be IMHO great for the VGA devices using the new Manila2. What do you think about hiding the slider in portrait mode just like in the landscape? I'm talking about the button, which after pressing on it, displayes the slider for a few seconds. Thanks to this modification there would be more space on the screen.
I guess it is hard to do, but maybe someone would cope with it... if only you like the idea
I love this idea although i don't have the lua editting skills to do it!
I'm using Fredz advance music player, which is cool and love the minimizing tab

i don't think it's difficult to hide the slider in entire manila portrait mode, but the whole point of porting to VGA is to make it fit in the screenspace that is available
the only thing you're going to miss is that one last week in calendar (and even that one can be visible by reducing the height) and maybe see more appointments in the home screen (then again, hiding the slider, you also can't see your new messages and new e-mail)
I love this idea.. and it have to work somehow.. well this is what i stumbbeled over today: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508369
check the pictures.. the music tab kinda hides the menu like landscape.. there has to be a way to do that to all the tabs i guess...
