I have started the task of getting my head round UL and how it works. There is quite a bit to learn and a whole shedload of threads dotted about all over the place with useful information.
Some of these threads are about UL, others about icons and/or their use in UL. The purpose of this thread is to act as a reference point for all of the threads on UL related matters.
The intent is to save time trawling through the site by having all the links in one place.
Feel free to add to this; however it would be useful if you could ensure that you don't duplicate a thread already mentioned here.
Cheers

Thanks wacky, it sure makes my job easier.
Great list, but it would be great if you could tell what each thread contains?
yes it will be a good starter for those who wants to use ULtimate launcher theme hopefully there will be an indication for each link that you have given
but anyways this is a great thread and greater is the one who has started this
Thanks a lot for saving us time
it will be better if someone can make a thread for battery status theme that they have used in coordination with the Ultimate launcher
I do believe they go hand in hand
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350510
NOTE: there is a thread here but still to many pages for a reader to read but what I am asking is what theme that you are using in coordination with your Ultimate launch
-> aurora is a good alternative but it sometimes get too complicated ( I have done it though) for the other members to make IMHO

UL Customization
Word to the wise, don't change the background color of UL unless you have your device backed up or better yet, you can boot in safe mode and disable UL from your today screen. I changed the background color and it locked up my device. I did 3 soft resets and I couldn't boot in normal mode. Luckily I had a safe mode tool installed so I booted into safe mode and disabled UL.
However, this is one of the coolest launchers I have ever used. It's a little rough around the edges. Hopefully it will get better as time goes on. I just wish their was an English forum to post bugs and requests to for the author of this cool software.
I have changed my background color many times and it never locked up my device.
I'm under the impression that it may be rom related sometimes, and not UL. On some roms, I can use youtubeplay, and others I can't or it'll install, but wont open. On some cooked roms, I can use igo, Tom Tom, and others I can't. You'd believe that if you have jbed installed, you'd be able to use Opera Mini. As it is well documented on this site, many are having issues with it and having to tweak this and that create/install mortscripts, blah blah, blah. Sometimes it not the app, it's the cooked rom. Some have had to remove and reinstall UL because they were having today plugin issues. Just my two cents. My point is that the user maybe doing all the right things, but still encounter minor glitches that others may not experience.
good idea. Robo !
Robosiris,
I believe you have hit the nail on the head there. You are already aware of the problems I have had wth UL and plugin deinstallation.
I love this forum because it is all about helping each other out and sharing experiences; one reason why I thought a reference thread would help (I need to ask the mods to make it a sticky).
What I find really annoying is knowing I have followed all steps to the letter, don't get the result I am looking for, then someone comes along and tries to be a smartarse rather than being helpful!
I too am looking forward to the next version of UL where hopefully some of these bugs would have bee ironed out and the software will be compatible with a broader range of roms.
Meanwhile I hope we can all continue to share our knowledge here and help each other out.

In my thread, I tried creating UL manual (if you will, lol) because it's so customizable and almost impossible to write everything. So I just hit the finer points.
Creating this thread is indeed a smart move and good idea. I can see this thread (or Sticky) becoming a Wiki for UL. I think this is one of the many applications that needs a Wiki.
Update: you can now download all my icons, INCLUDING .ICO (see first post here for link)
@ Admin or whoever, please delete the link to the "iphone glossy", its not uptodate, thank you.
this thread is a very good idea - has introduced me to both UL and rltoday!
A thought - people should post what themes / skins they are using with either (or both) UL and rltoday, they work really well together.
I am using the skin by Focaldesign:
http://www.focaldesign.be/HTC/?see=Focaldesign-Pi3cH
skins UL and rltoday. it is brilliant, but would like to see what else people are using....
I have a quick question too - how to i change the font for UL?
I have copied the font to the \windows\fonts directory, and then in the options changed the font name (under the font tab - typeface name)
but doesnt make any difference.
Any thoughts?

You'll need to change the entire system's font, there are cab installers in the forum, I use Segoe.

I love UltimateLauncher for all of it's customization options, but I already bought SPB Pocket Plus 4 and I'm not sure how to integrate UltimateLauncher with Pocket Plus. Seems like over-kill. If anyone is running both together, I would love to see a screen shot as well, or at least an explanation of how both complement each other.
I don't think it's overkill at all. I have seen some people's setups that have UltimateLaunch running in full screen "virtual page" mode, with Pocket Plus running on one page, and Weather Panel or SBSH Pocket Weather running on another, and Today Agenda on a third.
UL is one of the best mobile purchases I've made.
I'll second that Robo, UL is money, for the first time in a WHILE, I didn't mind spending.
hello everybody!
Is there any way to prompt more than one appointment on TF3D home page ? Thank you for your answers.
I'm also interested...
That would be awesome to have. I need to open my agenda often to see my next meeting if that could be shown on the TF3D tab that would save me quite some frustration through the day ))
This question and many others come up so frequently that I wonder whether HTC take note of things that should have been included in the first place; multi-appointments and tasks to name but only two!
Yeah you are right, HTC seems not to take any notes on their users comments. You saw this already with the requests for the HTC Home. Now with the TF3D it is the same thing. Working here on this forum gives you some nice insight of what is possible with TF3D. If I just take a look @ D-MAN's work I guess there are options here. I'm not a developer myself but seeing the work of others that gives me hope ;-)
So it is not really a comment to HTC but a request to the developers here @ XDA that would be able to create such a feature.
i want it so badly....
it is just not enough for me...it seems that only appointments in two days can be displayed on the home page....i wonder if a few more appointments(no matter how many days after)could appear so i don't have to get into the calendar page to check my upcoming appointment.
that is also what i am looking for... is that not possibe to be done for you pro's out there?

bio
As a frequent RSS user I still didn't find an RSS Reader which uses the snappy interface and touch friendly buttons of TF3D. So I created some screens hoping an enthusiastic developer feels challenged to create an ultimate RSS reader for TF3D.
Some requirements should be:
Import feeds from OPML file and/or sync with Google Reader
Update All, Update Channel or update Feed seperately (conveniant when using roaming abroad)
Auto update (every .. minutes/hours/days) and notify when new items arrive
... And more
A great wish would be to add the program in the tab structure in TouchFlo.
So the big question is: Which developer feels the urge to create this baby????
If someone feels this urge, I will make more screens, but I first want to know if there's somebody out there who wants to help me...
Hmm that's a good idea, especially love the "sync with google reader" part, browsing google reader on opera mobile is just plain madness.!
Love to see this becoming a real program! Hope someone will help you out nielsepiels!
yeah ! good idea !
Hi,
I'm waiting for it....
BYE, Bobo
hopefully it will become true..i know people in this forum are genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really good idea!!!

Got my vote too - I could offer my services beta testing on my AT&T Fuze - I would definitely donate for this - Heck, I'll give someone a few bucks as soon as i see a beta!
same.. i would def donate some money for this, was thinking of something like this the other night.
anythings better than RSS Hub - buggy as hell with its constant freezes
maybe this is the right place to post it.......i would love to develop such an application (and other tf3d plugins) but i didnt find any documentation on tf3d development so far......the only thread where someone asked for a documentation is only available in google-cache with no answer posted....
maybe you guys or someone who reads this thread do know where to find tf3d-dev-docs...
thx!

TF3D is developed in Lua. D-MAN666 is one of the few guys who knows how to edit TF3D and develop TF3D applications, like his calendar application.
@ Nielsepiels & Mandragore: THX!!
wow, this looks cool. would be awesome if you could code this app. and props to the thread starter, nice screens!
I think we need more threads like this. that way we get more finger friendly and nice looking apps!
Hi guys , i'm sure it's a very useful idea.
I'm thinking about coding this (i'am learning on mobile coding) , waiting for any suggestion , so let's go for making this cool stuff.
ps: sorry for my bad english ;-)
Came across this thread and thought it was worth reviving
There was a thread about this a long long time ago, but I think people just forgot about it. Its such a good idea - and yet HTC havent even mentioned any RSS enhancements for the new version of TF3D on Diamond2, etc :s. I hope someone can make this - they would definately get a donation from me for it
Upping this to see if there are any developments.
I wonder if the email tab on TF3D can be "tweaked" to receive RSS headlines instead of sending and receiving from an email account?
I'm going to try and found out how that tabs is put together it might offer some ideas.
I'd love to be able to flick through the headlines/stories from my favourite feeds like you do with text messages or even better have a "ticker" running across the screen with the latest news..... that would be cool
HI all,
I have got an question. I have been trying to get M2d working properly on my Omnia. I seem to be able to run it but with some issues. Here is the post I had posted earlier on:
"First of all I really like the things we can do with M2d, but I am having some problems with my Omnia. It seems like not all the tabs are stretched out enough to fit the whole screen. For example if i open the Weather tab. At the bottom (above the icons) I can see the weather for the coming days. When i would go to the Messaging tab then, i will still see that weather for the coming days. It could be usefull, but it SHOULDNT be there. At the other tabs it is just very ugly. Could anyone help me sort this out?
I really like this software, but with this thing going on, I rather use SPB Mobile Plus."
Ive installed the 22 beta2 version of M2d. I hope anyone could help me out with this.
Thanks in advance

WM 6.5 has really opened the doors for some nice development for panels. Much like the existing Touch Flo 3D, panels can be developed to show your favorite....well anything. Already great work on weather, fave people, opera, twitter, facebook, ms office, programs, settings...colors, themes...etc!!!
One of the things I love most about TF3D is the stocks tab. I have started to tinker with a stocks panel for Titanium, but wanted to get a tab started for any who may have input, or have begun development themselves. I have been playing around with the cprs, bronzeres, and colors for some time, but this is my first past at creating a new panel from scratch. The good news for me is many have laid some tremendous groundwork to help make this an easier process.
My plan is to link the existing msn finance widget in 6.5 to the panel. The plan is to show the details of each stock pick from msn widget to the titanium custom panel. I am in the process of mocking something up just to post what I am thinking soon.
Moderators...gods of xda...please keep me honest as I am not actually posting any dev just yet. If I am out of line, please accept my apology in advance and shut me down, but kindly please don't lock me out.
Thanks....more to come!

If I knew where to pull data from seperate program I would try this. Maybe in the next week or 2. Does anyone else wanna jump this one?
+1 for stock widget
instead of msn money should be better using yahoo finance, by far more complete... titaniumweather use mortscript to fetch accuweater data, will be possible make this widget same way?

This might work if you set it up like Showaco is doing his radar for TitaniumWeather.

i am with you here man... i would give away TF3d if I can get a stocks plugin for WM6.5 good idea.... great idea...
There is a FRENCH stock titanium panel.
You can analyze and modify this for your convenience.
Go to http://www.jmlacou.com/wpJML/?p=15
Is there any update on the app?
With the current advancements in plugin developments, this would actually be an easy one to make. it's just a matter of reading rss feeds from stock websites. I'll see if i can make some time next week and look into this.
