Ok folks i spent lots of time modifying my Touch Pro.
I would like to share my icons here
PLEASE READ ALL MY NOTES AND INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING!
Instructions:
1. Download my file and unzip it on your Storage Card on your mobile
2. Disable TF3D (Settings-Today)
3. Open Total Commander and navigate to the extracted folder
4. Right click on the manila file that you want to use (you can use the ctl button on Total Commander for multiple selection). Do NOT copy the whole folder containing the manila files; copy ONLY the manila files instead!!!!!! For extra information on the way i organized the zip file check Note 2
5. Click on copy/move. Then select the Windows directory on your phone & overwrite if prompted (Caution: your storage card might also have a windows folder. You need to select the one on your phone!)
6. Re-enable TF3D[/B].
7. Soft reset (only if it is not working yet)
Notes:
1. Landscape mode will NOT work on the Diamond by default (only if its modded to do so. Do not ask me how to do it, i have no idea)
2. Folder Content: The zip file contains separate folders each of which includes the files for a different mod. So for example, the folder "Fire Slider" ONLY includes the files required for the slider to work. you ONLY need to copy the manila files. I included the PNG icons in the zip just in case someone wants to mess around with them.
3. In case the icons don't work, use Diamond TF3D config-->Appearance-->Restore Default and then follow my steps.
UPDATE 22 NOVEMBER: FIRE THEME (check post 5)
UPDATE 27th OCTOBER: Volume Control (Prewien's volume bars, colour modified by me)
CHECK POST 4
UPDATE 24th OCTOBER:TF3D BLUE THEME EXTENDED

BLUE & WHITE THEME (upon request)
i added a couple of custom backround for those who are interested.
Everything you need is in the attachment. To change the background, copy the manila files found under the "Other Backgrounds" folder
Normal Backround
Light Blue Backround
Dark Blue Backround
here is a little present, a nice blue backround for portrait mode (matched the colours above )
Blue & White Theme!!!
These are the TF3D icons..i will also make an extended version with camera icons, custom music tab..stay tuned!!!
Calendar
Call History
Update 27th October
Included a version with identical tab icons after request. (So, Tray icons and Scrolling icons are identical.)
See Blue & White Portrait IDENTICAL TABS.zip
UPDATE 24th October
INDIVIDUAL THEME TF3D MODS!! - A small collection (some of these are spread on the forum)
MADE TO MATCH THE BLUE THEME
Place the manila files in your windows directory to get the following to work
1. BLUE TF3D SELECTION (Excluding clock)
2. HOME TRANSPARENT SELECTION (so even if you select it looks like you didnt..keeps the looks clean)
3. BLUE GLOBE WITH BLUE SELECTION (This is only for the GLOBE!!) (copy the manila AND the pictures to get the globe to work!!!!)
4. Transparent Top Curtain (just put it as an addition to a cleaner TF3D)
5. PHONE BLUE SELECTION - Do the following Registry tweak: HKLM\Software\HTC\Phone\highlightColor (set to 0080C0 hex) to match the colour in the screenshot below) Soft-reset to get it to work
6. Blue Volume Bars (Bars by Prewien, Colour modified by me)
Place the File in your Windows directory and soft reset to get it to work

Perfect - Really pleased with the look - especially with the font changed too - Thanks for sharing your work
PS - How about posting this on the Raphael Forum too????
.
will do in a few minutes
kickass black& White landscape theme on its way
ps: what font is that? looks good
it doesn't work for me . The pc can't copy the file 499b699fe into the windows folder of the pro. Do you know a solution because I like your the a lot
you need to use total comander on your phone for it. Windows file explorer (both Mobile and Desktop) wont allow you to overwrite system files.
http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm
copy the files sowhere in your phone and then use this program to move them to the windows directory
PS: Black & White theme almost done..loving it
edit: Black & White theme added
Thanks for sharing, anybody knows how to activate landscape menu on the Diamond?
cheers

thank you, it's working
added a blue& white theme after member request.
see post 2 for more details
i think it work on touch pro only, anyway tested on my diamond don't work.
post on raphael section
Dont blame me for it not working as it is written clearly that this will only work on the touch pro by default
there is a method to make it work on the Diamond but i cant help with that...there is a thread about it though
anyway, as ALSO mentioned in the first post, this thread will include PORTRAIT icons (which i am working on now), which makes it suitable for the Diamond section
edit:
here is a SMALL preview of the kind of icons to expect...i will make different themes so stay tuned

Does your Diamond support Landscape? Or can u just show Portrait mode?
I have to say: Works absolutely great on my Diamond (Dutty 2.6)
I love the Fire Landscape Icons
so with brins0 gyrator, will this screen activate when manila is in landscape on diamond? anyone tested? this question is for users not you Giannis86.
i really would like to help in that but i can never test it as the touch pro has landscape by default..it is possible though, maybe Mar'Cel would like to share how he got it working
anyway, Blue Portrait Theme is quite far.. I just made most TF3D icons. I need to make one for calendar and call history for those using them...here is a little teaser of the current status
Why not^^ There are two ways (that I know) to get the Landscape menu on our Diamond.
1st. Way: Flash Duttys v.2.6 ROM^^ Works perfectly!
2nd. way: Add the Landscape menu as a seperate tab in TF3D --->Link
and then use any Screenrotation software u like and enable it for Manila...
But via this way u can only switch to the LAndscape menu when u are in that tab... and it caused some crashes on my Diamond so this is no good solution...

Hi all,
After flashing a new rom, I got tired of setting up my customized Weather Panel setup (includes a fixed dll so moon phases are accurate through 2008 and the Chameleon-240 QVGA theme), so decided to save off the directory and make my life easier. Thought I'd provide this for those of you that use Weather Panel (The "trial" version never expires, so this is a "free" app). I used to use PocketWeather, but after seeing the Chameleon 240 QVGA skin and the other features of Weather Panel I've switched to it and really like it.
[Edit - 12-Apr-08]Updating this today for anyone that may still find this thread. The WeatherPanel cab you want to install is found here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=75926&postcount=2 . This has moon info updated and corrects another connection issue that started a couple of months back. Also as a note, I'm on AT&T and have had issues on WM6.1 roms where the network connection setup script runs. I now do not allow that to setup my connections but instead install the attached connection setup file (again, this is just for AT&T. Other providers may or may not have this issue). Also, I recommend searching for the theme "Phatfinger" by storyr. I'm now using that one over Chameleon.
[Edit - 19-Aug-07]As of a few days ago, WeatherPanel is no longer updating properly due to the authorization code not being available that it looks for. storyr on PPCgeeks.com has posted fixes for this in this thread:
http://www.ppcgeeks.com/weatherpanel-freaks-weatherpanel-authorization-update-t8164.html
You need to either patch your current version, or use the full cab. Patches and the CAB are in the ppcgeeks thread.
Here's the steps:
If you don't have Weather Panel installed, then download and install the WP_Auth_Moon_TRIAL08.CAB (from the thread on ppcgeeks listed above).
Go to Start > Settings > Today > Items and uncheck Weather Panel (since we are overwriting files in its directory, it can't be active)
Unzip the "WP-Chameleon.zip" file (attached to this post) onto your PC. Drop the entire MarsWare folder onto your phones \Program Files folder and tell it to overwrite the files.
Go to Start > Settings > Today > Items and check Weather Panel to activate it. Click on Weather Panel and then click on Options and configure it. Set your theme to Chameleon-240 QVGA. Change the layout to your preference. To learn how to decifier all of them Go to this thread and scroll down about halfway to a post by Storyr where he gives all the info on this Theme.
I recommend you install WP-Pilot (see zip file attached) so you can do "One Handed" control of WeatherPanel. Readme in the zip will explain what to do.
There you have it! You'll have a cool WeatherPanel theme, and correct moon phases after doing this.
What I've done is put the WeatherPanel Cab, WP-Pilot Cab, and the Marsware directory from the zip file all in a folder on my SD card. Then when I flash a new rom, I can do all of this fairly quickly to get WeatherPanel back up and running in just a few minutes.
A big thanks to Storyr at PPCGEEKS for doing this Theme, creating the WP-Pilot plugin, and doing the Moon icon fix (and the much nicer moon icons included).
Here's links to the threads for each of these (my zip file just has all of it all together so you don't have to do each install step, just the one copy of the Marsware folder):
Moon Phase Fix
New/Better Moon Phase Icons
WP-Pilot Plugin
Here's are links to the WeatherPanel Wiki for Icons and Themes
Icons -> http://pixel.citadel.org/weatherpanel/wiki/index.php/Weather_Icons
Themes -> http://pixel.citadel.org/weatherpanel/wiki/index.php/Custom_Layouts

Hi
I really like the look of the weatherpanel. So far I have used pocketweather, but have never been 100% satisfied.
So I followed your instructions and it looks great - but I have a few difficulties with the moonfase, that I can't find the answer too - even when I go back to the original threats.
Either it shows a black moon and 0%, and then if I rotate the different modes, it suddenly have no images, and then says 46031 instead of the 0%. I have tried to change between default icons and the others - with no luck.
I have two Wizards that run WM6. I have tried the installation on both - and it is the same result.
Do you have any clue what is wrong?

No clue. Moon Phase works just fine for me after doing the steps above. What you describe almost sounds like you don't have the fixed DLL. DId you make sure WeatherPanel was unchecked (not active) in Settings > Today before you copied the folder? You can go to the like I provided and do the install of the fixed DLL directly too.
Yes, it was unchecked... but I will try uninstall it, and then installing it again - maybe I have more succes the second time...
Now I got it to work.
In the first place, I had it installed on my Storage Card - but I now reinstalled it on my device momory - and it works.
How is your WP installed? Because I would prefer having it on my SC if possible (which I also thought was an option with this program...?)

NEVER install anything that amounts to a Today plugin on your Storage Card. You will always have issues with Today Plugins on storage card since your storage card isn't available when you boot the phone (and the Today plugins tend to load before the SD card sometimes comes available).
Thanks a lot for this, Mfrazzz, it looks much better than the default available view for WeatherPanel.
Thank you for your help, mfrazzz.
I will keep that in mind about today plugins.

Hi all, I've been following the SPB Mobile Shell 2.0 thread for sometime, but I've noticed it's turned into more of a development discussion thread.
There are many fantastic themes in the thread, but crawling through all 80+ pages takes its toll!
So I was wondering if we could collect all the completed themes here in this format (see post #2 for example):
Theme name + version
Theme description (layout, what is replaced, background etc)
Screenshots (photobucket is better than imageshack! Or use forum attachments)
Attachments (in .zip or self installing .cab)
Please please please could you post updates/revisions of your themes by editing your original posts rather than replying so that we don't have multiple editions of your themes!
Please keep this thread tidy and to ask development questions or discuss work-in-progress: CLICK THIS LINK. Of course questions about specific themes are welcome
- If you want to design your own themes, there is also the excellent "how to" thread: SPB Mobile Shell 2.0 Beginner's How-to
- If you want to use SPB Mobile Shell 2.0 as your default "today" screen, please check out this thread
Installation
- If the theme is .zip: unzip and replace files in \Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell\ on your device
- If the theme is .cab: run cab file on device and install to device/storage card (wherever you originally installed SPB Mobile Shell)
- Remember: Backup your spb folder before installation so that you can revert back to the original if something goes wrong
- Backup Alternative:: See post #2 for a .cab containing original Spb Mobile Shell 2.0 skin
Example:
SPB Default Skin v1.0
This is the standard SPB mobile shell 2.0 default layout. There are 3 pages (Now, Programs - 2x6 small & 2x3 large, Contacts - 4x4) and no background.
You can use this cab file to restore the original skin if anything goes wrong. It contains full layouts and icons for QVGA and VGA devices (hence 2.13mb).
See post #1 for installation instructions

apart from that i've made the signal and battery bars active and up

The FLA sourcecode will be included here in the end, in case anyone wants to make changes.
New Lite Version:
- Seconds on/off (just click on them)
- 12/24 hours format (just click on them)
- Numerical date
- Smoother animation
- Compact size
New ADVANCED Version:
- One settings button only
- Choose between 8 languages* for full date
- Seconds on/off
- 12/24 hours format
- 2 colors to choose from
* See how you can add your own language here:

If you see any bugs with your language please let me know.
To use it:
- Install flash: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer_pocketpc/downloads/player.html
- Install any today flash plugin, like Animated Today: http://www.gigabytesol.com/anitoday.htm
- Copy this TSK to my documents and select it.
Enjoy

Added the source-code for the LITE version.
---edit---
I'm descontinuing this clock, since its now embebed with the animated weather, in the version 8 and called "Tempus".
Tempo is a portuguese word that describes both the time as the weather.

just tested animated today:
http://www.gigabytesol.com/animated-today.htm
It works as good as POCKET THEME MANAGER, you can have the plugin on top, transparent and it works with a 24 fps version.
thanks man, tried it with that animated today program/plugin and it works fine. i wanna remove the seconds tab though and reproportion the times so it fits better within the white boxes but dont have flash program to do it with
if you remove the seconds tab the animation only happens every minute, so it kind of looses the main atraction there...
I was looking for this clock for some time now.
I have it working without the flash, but as you made it with flash this is really great!
I need some help installing this clock though....
I installed the animated today program, together with flash.
I can get he flash animation working in the flash player, but how can I make it work as a clock??
use the .tsk file I uploaded, the tsk has the swf already embbed into it.
With the pocket theme manager I can get it to work.
Now I have the black clock theme, but I lost the other HTC home buttons :/
Can the clock also be integrated into the HTC home theme?
Because now I lost my new email-sms, ... buttons :/
Could anyone post a cab of the free trial of Animated Today? I don't use ActiveSync, which somehow crashes my touch by not letting it connect to my router (I've already tried four or five times with the same result, need to hard-reset).
BTW, very cool clock!! Nice work!
Well, you cant connect it to htc home, but if someone makes a flash today plugin i can surely do my best to make something very similar...
Sorry i dont have the trial cab, just the "other" one, and this is not that kind of forum...

You made great!!!! Congrats and thank you... it works with animated today (the same version you have )
How it be connected to htc home? I have the same issue as it was mentioned namely that your clock can not be used together with the htc home on the today because of the sizes (and of course double clock is useless) but I also miss the other features of htc home.
One suggestion: I think it could be also useful to reduce the clock size a bit (to 2/3 size of the present) and fill the white flips with the numbers more (now the numbers are 1/2 size of the flips)
Anyway thank you for your great work and keep up improving!!!!
New version:
- With bigger numbers
- Severall color modes to choose from (the new button)
- Seconds on/off (just click on them)
- 12/24 hours format (just click on them)
- 24 frames per second
Enjoy
1st version Teste_Horas, screen its full black. But new version black clock only Sorry for my English
theres a newer version on the post direcly above yours.
I've edited the first post with the new version also...
Hello Twolf.
Nice job. I really like it and i'm using, but i removed the bottom bar (windows mobile 2003 se) and when i try to make a diferent *.tsk, i need to make it in a diferent program such as pocket pc themes toolkit and install on pocket pc with the program pocket theme manager 2...well it's a long story but i need, if you want, the *.swf file to make a diferent theme to me.
Once again...nice job!!!
twolf said:
Well, you cant connect it to htc home, but if someone makes a flash today plugin i can surely do my best to make something very similar...
Sorry i dont have the trial cab, just the "other" one, and this is not that kind of forum...

Hey you : did thou have a shot at WM6.1 tested?. My device Asus P535 WM 6.1
ancola66, I own a WM6.1 and that is my screenshot on the first post.
The only diference now it that I have the clock on top of that resco today skin.
MRFERRARI23, I dont really know how to make a cab file, but all it would do is copy that .TSK file into the MY DOCUMENTS folder... so, is that really necessary?
moshinho, I've updated the original post with a zip with the latest version (just some animation cleaups), the swf and the original FLA, in case any one out there with flash may want to make some changes.
Everyone, still waiting for that flash today plugin...
Thanks Twolf.
But when i insert the *.swf in the theme, the clock turns smaller
I don'd know why.
If i use your black_24c.tsk, the clock it's ok.
Updated the previews on the first post (image and flash).
hi T wolf... your pluggin are great, some input i think you should discard the second and replace it with the alarm symbol throw in messaging email missied call.. ehhhh asking alot...
but anyways goddjob. oh yeah is it possible to link it with the time setting as the htc home clock when you tap it then it will link to the time setting to setup alarm and etc

NEW VERSION 2 AVAILABLE:
FINAL VERSION AVAILABLE:[you will have to download Version 2 and then replace the vp_bkg_now.dat file with the one from V3 for it to work]:
Please note these themes are tested working with SPB mobile shell 2.1.4.
Installation Instructions are included in the ZIP
To do:
- Port to work with Panel version [coming soon] - Unfortunately I will not be doing this as I do not have to time to test/port to the panel version, if anyone with the skills to do it would like to port it you are more than welcome to, however please do mention the original creator as well, as a lot of hard work has gone into these themes
Please note: there is a qa_layout.zip file attached aswell, this file is a mod to remove the 12 pinned items in the menu screen [up the top], and to remove the grid lines aswell. Please make a backup of your original qa_layout.dat file before placing the new one.
- INSTALLATION:
1. download qa_layout.zip and rename it to qa_layout.dat
2. you simply have to copy the file and paste it into your device's program files > spb mobile shell folder
3. Do a soft reset.
Actual screenshots of V3 running on the XPERIA can be found on page 4, thanks to LFCFredda
and where the screen shot?
What is it?
hmm that's kinda strange how its showing up on your X1, what version of SPB are you running?, this is made to work on version 2.1.4 [spb mobile shell]

Yes, please read the first post. This version is NOT for spb panel, it is for Spb Mobile shell version 2.1.4.
I will be releasing the panel version tonight as I am at work now

Я использовал панель
I used to panel
The Panel version didn't work for. Like mention in the Readme, I copied the two .dat files to spb mobile shell folder. After I soft reset (using software soft Reset tool from spb shell), the panel displayed just like before but the bottom buttons to scroll to different screens and the arrow button to navigate multiple pages withing spb Mobile Shell are missing.
same here...
ok, thanks for testing it out. I will look into it and try to fix that asap
Can someone please post a screenshot of what the panel version looks like at the moment so i can get around fixing it acordingly
Thanks
does not work at all on the X1
the theme looks awesome! Can't wait 'til it works with the panel!
Saw that it was done, however, it doesn't work. The only thing that happens is that the background is black, icons are the same but the small shortcuts at the bottom are gone... Any clue to why?
I can send you the entire folder from the panel
mobilemodman:
i was wondering about the statement to make a "quick" port to the panel version.
you cannot port this theme by just moving the bitmaps around. the x1 uses only 3 tabs. at least you have to modify/change the images for the bottom buttons (and side buttons in landscape mode) and therefore you have to change more than 1 or 2 xmls for the new button sizes. also: if the original background is in color you have to remove the "simple.background" class and replace it with the "gradient"-class including the seperator (which is normally not used in the panel version) in most of the layout xmls.
my guess is: this will take longer ... especially if you depend on others to test it in the panel version.
dont get me wrong ... i really would like to see a port of this theme ... but at the moment it looks to me like you want to do this "the easy way" and this is only possible if you can test your changes by yourself.
can anyone post an original screenshot how it is supposed to look ?
have fun,
quadword
panel version not working for me, none of the icons on the tabs show, nor do the icons from shortcuts. the only thing working is the black background.
@ sshick - are you sure you installed the panel version [the second zip file in my first post], because those icons in your screenshot aren't in the panel version :S. try re-installing spb mobile shell on your X1 because it seems you still have the previous theme that you tried to install
@ Quadword - yes thanks for the tip, I know the panel version has a copmletely different layout, I had changed the layout to match with the layout from the original panel version, however it seems like there are a few problems:
1) I dont think the panel version can handle colour images as the background/wallpaper, which is why the background is black, I didnt know I had to edit the xml, but thanks for the tip will do that and see
2) there is some problem with the icons at the moment, I will look into this tomorrow
3) I am busy today, but would get to work 2mrw morning and try to fix the panel version issue
@ everyone - thanks for helping out with testing, I decided it would be easier if i tested it myself so I'm going to install the panel version of SPB on my fone and test it out tomorrow. Also my new Theme is almost ready, but that is for 2.1.4 Spb mobile shell version. I will look into porting that aswell
Quadword - what folder/ .dat file would i find the xml that needs editing for the background to accept colour?

i did already modify the xmls to accept color backgrounds like the original version. maybe you can use my templates for your modifications:

Thanks QuadWord, that would be a great help. I will try that out tonight and see if I can get that panel version up and running. BTW do you know how to change the xml's so that the Tab buttons are in colour aswell??

i am not sure if i understand your question correctly ... because all the buttons use color bitmaps by default (as you can see by looking at the original theme).
the 3 buttons on the bottom to switch your screen are called "tab buttons".
the softkeys (contact & rescent) are WM6.1 and not included in the Spb-Panel.
- quadword
Looks great in non-panel version.
One thing though; The background doesn't stretch to fit the screen. Is that fixable, or a "bug" in MS? I tried resizing the images but ended up with no background at all. I didn't read much on Spb MS skinning and didn't really try very hard, so I guess I've got myself to blame.
@ maedox -It's not a bug, just that most WM phones come with a screen resolution of that size, which is why SPB was made in that way to fit the screen size of those phones, however the X1 has a much larger (longer height wise) resolution, which is why the background ends up being half way across the screen :S. I noticed if you set the calender to show one week it makes it look ok because the calendar fits right in that black space. But unfortunately [through hours of testing] i realized that changing the resolution ends up with a black screen.
@ Quadword - sorry but i thought that the tabs were in black and white aswell, ignore that question - [ BTW i pm'ed you, might need some help ]

Please comment below with any issues or suggestions
Version 2 FULL VGA + Landscape - Nearly perfect version
Version 2.1 Icon Fix - corrects icon error (read known issues)
Change log:
- added landscape support !!!! (which the pictures just do not do justice, it looks gorgeous)
- overall optimized and fixed some errors - Theme is now incredibly polished
- improved image quality
- TF3D font now more readable
- Slider and Theme are now single CAB = Full Theme
**INSTALLATION**
1. Copy cab and install
2. An image will be placed on Device > My Documents. Using the settings tab in TF3D set this Image as wallpaper to enable Hero style clock
3. report any issues to help future development
Known issues:
Known issue #1
Lanscape will look like this if you enable the clock
will try to have a fix soon *** thanks to Aaron McCarthy for reporting the error and for the IMG
Known issue #2
**solved** Theme has trouble with manila 2.5 icons (see IMG below) -- if you have this problem download the "2.1 - no icons" cab below (2.0 must be uninstalled before 2.1 can be installed)
2.1 - no icons.cab is currently beta and may not work with all icon packs. also the email and messages icon in the contact card may not match when you select them
****DO NOT download 2.1 unless you have already tried 2.0 and got the icon error, 2.0 Full is still considered complete theme, 2.1 is the icon corrected version of 2.0 meant for people who get the error below***
NEW CLOCK HERE*** Special thanks to CR7KB24 for Creating the graphics*** - Save image and set as wallpaper in TF3D to enable
-Attached as "Hero Backdrop v2.zip" because i realized the link was converted to .jpg and had bad quality
[/COLOR]
Thanks to drdrewdown for IMG and reporting the error
Full WVGA Hero Theme BETA in Post 1
is it possible to make the clock a seperate cab?
actually its just the stock clock and a background image that matches the panoramic theme (look at the video) is used to make the box.
I'm trying to see if i can actually build the clock to look like that but so far no such luck as manila doesn't seem setup to handle that layout
Feel free to try it out, as stated above files are un-installable (so long as your not using a different theme already) and it creates a much more appealing and dynamic experience in touchflo than stock (plus its not as gloomy)
Thank you! And you can do the same but for WVGA?
Wow very nice. Thanks for the hard work
This is very nice! Thanks...
Is it possible to make landscape use the same wallpaper as the portrait mode?

WVGA Slider ported so far please test (this was the easier to port)

i dont believe you did this step...
2. an image will be placed in your "My Documents" folder on the device. using TF3D's settings tab set this as your background in touchflo (image is called wallpaper.png)
now on to my issue, i installed V2 cab for VGA & the slider does not show up how its pictured in the screenies. its simply a grey slider that does not show my tab icons. interesting. please check out my screenshot & let me know what i did wrong or how to correct the slider image

I actually noticed this today on a firends divice (he's helping me develop the WVGA backgrounds) I think the theme has trouble if you have the manila 2.5 icons.. it doesn't seem to replace them properly. i'll see if i can work up a fix
get back to you soon (for now i'm just going to list it as a known issue). you don't have to uninstall the theme as the fix will probably just be an addon cab
thank you sir, i will look forward to an update! or fix!

thanks for the update just saw that today i'll work on it.
in the mean time can you confirm the following with your device (this is what i saw on the test Xperia X1)
- Panning seemed to work perfectly, just when it stops on a tab the image drops down to only cover 1/2 the screen.
- and Landscape seems to be functioning perfectly.
WVGA is getting close
How can i get the icons? I installed the cab but i can not get the icons. I am getting them grey.
well done friend... here works perfect (dia duit rom) but the background image isn't show, of course I tried many times to load in
just a suggestion:: you should compress the png with pngcrush (freeware) with these parameters: pngcrush -d c:\temp -rem alla -brute *.png
even if the best thing should be compress as JPG trough jdo (another freeware)
doing so the BG picture will be less fatter & of course will take less ram
for example porting the png to jpg & compressing with jdo your bg file goes from 148kb to 47kb...

I just installed 2.1 but I'm still getting the solid gray slider. I'm currently running the latest EnergyROM Genesis on an AT&T Fuze. Other than that, this is a very solid theme. Thanks for your work.
