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?
Hi there!
I was wondering on which are the best apps to customizate our Cruises...
Does anybody know the best of them that don't slow down the system (as iFonz)???
If you can provide names and pictures...
Thanks!

iFonz not customize Polaris, him disfigured it.
For tuning used Advanced Config Tools by Schap.
OK, that's true. I specify a bit more: apps to visually customizate Cruise (or Windows Mobile 6)...
S2U2 for blocking the keyboard and the screen like the iphone

WisBar, PhoneAlarm, Spb Mobile Shell and many others stuff with skins.
But, when I tried it all, I return to HTC Home and Ultimatelaunch. The best things for my Orbit2 (Polaris).

I tried WisBar. It's Ok, but I finally uninstalled it...
SPB Mobile, pretty good one, but it could be better if it fully replace the Today screen, not being an application to launch. I uninstalled it as well.
PhoneAlarm... I haven't tried it.
S2U2 it's OK too. I still have it.
I think I'm gonna do as you, Henry Lee: returning to HTC Home. I think it's one of the best with the most common functions and very light.
Thanks everybody! If you know about more applications... keep posting!
I've tryed to find an answer, but w/out luck.
I'd like to have Spb Diary instead of the "original" calendar into SPB Mobile Shell, like in this pic (edited by me).
btw, thx to kulet78 for the awesome "Blue Ray" skin!
thx in advance!!!!!!!
I think they could add today plugin support into the shell, bud it would vastly slow down the whole thing, so they didn't. I understand them. I would like if the calendar in the shel was a little bit sophisticated though, then it would be ready to completely replace my today.

i love this theme too...since addin diary'd slow things down..i was hopin for a few improvements
1. there is empty space for atleast 2 rows in calender at its bottom...wish this dead space could b utilized by calender rows
2.i need battery signels and tome over the top in all of the shell screens just like the "pointui"theme
hope spb guys give integrated diary like functionality to shell
thanks
do reply regardin these requests
also ms 2.1 supports data icon ,was hopin if that can b added aswell
thanks
yup...as a matter of fact, i've been thinking about it for quite a while now. y can't we add a SPB Diary widget that displays tasks only? that'll be great!
I see this is a really old thread, but it poses the exact same question I've been trying to figure out for a while now....thought maybe someone has come up with a solution, or work-around in all the time that's passed.
this has been going forever even on spb own forum, they don't seem to be willing to integrate diary into the shell.
Just wanted to gauge what everyone's thoughts were about which UI they prefer the most now that there are so many options.
Which do you prefer using out of the below:
TF3D
TF3D2
Titanium
Point UI
SPB Mobile Shell
Voted for TF3D even tho I haven't tested any of the other, but I've seen youtube videos.
Neither of them..Sense UI all the way.

It doesn't matter if it hasn't been ported to the diamond..All I know is that Sense UI is the best UI out there. Just my two cents.
Wich UI do you prefer?
I would say PointUI Pro with the Sense UI themes and applets, works like a charm, feels smooth and lag free.
SPB Mobile Shell 3
SPB shell is the best for me, better than manilla, it can be configured like you want and everything it is very accesible and finger friendly.
Using titanium right now. But can't wait when HTC releases sense ui for winmo.
Also looking for good port of sense ui for now, which one you using CraZyLiLbOy ?
voted TF3D2 now it's very usable also with the "old" diamond
PointUI is really nice but wastes too much memory
SPB Shell isn't free
I really like SPB shell is the best.
Its finger friendly, customisable and easy to use.
I'm a Titanium user for now. But when Manila 2.6 shows up... I'll be switching to that!

Im with you on that one Trident. Can't wait for the Diamond Dev's to port it over
I feel all the new UIs are memory hungry, so use the old school Touch Home screen, got everything you need, and still room to fit a couple of home plugin's on the today screen, and it runs so much quicker than anything else I've tried (and I've tried them all)
does anyone knows where to find old school htc today for vga screen?
found couple htc today, but icons are too smal at vga screen.
This is the one I use, works fine both portrait and landscape.

Agreed. Everything is so much easier with it. You dont even have to use the start menu if you configure it properly.
SPB mobile shell is well worth the $30
So, still awaiting the day when I can grab my Imagio. SOON! Anyway, question for all you users out there. Just opinions, as I have not worked with either one really (I played with SPB on my iPaq, but memory sucked on the iPaq, so no good comparison).
Which do you find better in terms of usability, finger friendlyness, and overall customization? TF3D or SPB Mobil Shell?

I have to say SPB all the way. It seems faster to me and certainly more customizable. My biggest complaint about SPB is that the weather doesnt get my locale from GPS.
Thanks Mike, but just lounging around a few posts, actually ran into a poll regarding this question, so feel like a duffas for not finding it earlier in my previous search for just this subject. Kinda a landslide for the touchflo, so will see how I like it, and if not, will try SPB, or may even run Androkkid to see if it will work with 6.5.
So, I am trying the demo of the SPB Mobile Shell. I noticed that the carousel doesnt 'float' when I tilt my Imagio, is that becouse its just a trial version, or is there something else going on?

Its a configuration under the spb mobile shell settings.

I think I am wrong on that. Mine moves on touch but not on tilt.
I tried to activate the 3d acceleration, thinking that might be it, that froze up my system, had to do a soft reset. I think it has potential, but it seems more to be eye candy to me. I think I will stick with the stock TF3D, that seems to actually work better for me.
Edit - Actually, after soft reset, it works, sorta. I thought it would rotate based on the angle of the phone (g-sensor), but it only 'floats' with my finger. Still eye candy, wish it would also rotate to landscape.
TF3D for me

After using both, I really like the stock TF3D because I find that SPB is just too cluttered with eye candy. TF3D is more refined and it is at least as functional as SPB, perhaps even more so. It's definitely more streamlined and better organized, imho..
Yea, just had to do a second soft reset, this was after trying to remove it! So even though it really looks cool, I need something a bit more stable, functional, and effective.
I use both, i like the SPB shell most of the time and when I want to experience the TF3D i just go to the today tab in the settings and under the Items tab either tick the Launch TouchFlo 3D line which give user option to activate TF3D from the today screen or just tick the TouchFlo 3D line to activate when i hit the ok button on top and then go to the Today screen and there it is in all its simplisity. when i want the spb shell back i either reverse the process or tap on the start tab in the upper left coner one time then hit the back button.
I think you should try the maxsense ui rom that energy roms has cooked up. but you have to understand custom roms and how to flash. Id do a google search of maxsense and watch some reviews. it a cross between mobile shell and TF3D.

Alot has changed since I started this, I have my Imagio now, and have allready thrown on one of NRG Sense ROMs with the addition of CHT 1.8.5.1 as well. I have switched between Sense, ThrottleLauncher, SPB, Androkkid, PointUI, and Infinity.
Each one has its strengths, as well as weaknesses. I find Sense to be the most stable, but limited in customization compared to the others. It does very well in putting what I really need right there at the home screen. And the ability to have 4 home screens is nice. Limited to what 'widgets' and where they get placed is unfortunate, but I think that the effectiveness of CHT and Sense outweighs those issues.
TL has some great strengths in regard to the plethora of themes out there, the customization, and the ease doing that type of work. Disadvanges to me is that its not very stable, and gets a little quirky sometimes. But again, all the things I can do with it make up for the occasional soft reset.
SPB to me is really just a toy to show off. I have tried it three times now, and just can't seem to get something that I really like. I have a hard time navigating between everything, and again, its limited in 'widgets' as well, and no, I haven't tried all the different themes. But there always seems to be something that causes me to soft reset at least once a week.
Androkkid is fun as well, but the graphics aren't the best. It really is super easy to use and super easy to theme and customize, but there isn't alot of stuff going on with it. It was great for my old iPaq, but not as good for my Imagio.
PointUI is just way too freaking hard to figure out. I have tried multiple themes, multiple installs, and it never works right. Weather doesn't work, time can't change, I could continue to list, but don't have the time.
Infinity is probably the one that I would consider the most stable aftermarket UI out there, unfortunatly, its a dead UI, as the developer hasn't done anything in forever. Its super smooth, easy to customize, and I especially love the bubble's SMS capabilites! Its perhaps the most stable out of all the UI's I have tried, without one glitch that I can remember. I just wish there was more interest in it.
So I will continue to help the folks over at TL work on their themes through testing, and continue to use Sense whenever I am just working normal.
thanks for the input though! Its best to say that this thread is actually closed.
