Hello all,
2 hours of fruitless searching has prompted me to post here.
Does anyone know of a program that will rotate/cycle/change your Today screen background/wallpaper at a time interval? (10mins, etc)
(I suppose I'd pay $10 or so for it?)
Thanks guys!,
Dax.
I use StocksAndWeather for that. Not only does it cycle through your today screen themes, but it's a weather (and stocks) manager too. Gives you weather updates and warnings, but the kicker is that it comes with weather themes and changes the theme based on the weather. So if it's raining outside then the theme will be rain related. If it's snowing then the theme will show snow. It's a pretty neat program. You can also install your own themes to rotate in. Here is the link
http://www.stocksandweathertoday.com/
The weather icons are also animated so it makes your today screen look good, and you can instantly tell what the weather is like outside based on the theme. It's one of my favorites.
Hey there!
Thanks for your quick response!
That's not exactly what I was after, I just want to change JUST the background, not the whole theme. But thanks anyway!
Dax.
Just to register my interest in a utility that can do this. Have been searching for a long time but can't find anything as yet.
There must be something out there.
Thanks
WB
Well it can't be impossible, so yeah, I just wish someone would make it too.
It's such a shame I know nothing about programming.
Anymore on this please? Still looking.
Thanks
WB
Sorry WB, seems like no-one else likes our idea!
Dax,
Unfortunately seems you could be right. These tools are readily available for PC but it seems not for PPC.
Anyway lets not give up the search and if either of us finds something we should let the other know.
I will bookmark this thread for future reference.
Cheers
WB
@dax/wackyB: Guys, I don't need the money. will make something for u guys. am swamped right now by some other thing that i'm trying to do...will see if I get some time before this sunday..shudn't be too hard I think....
G'day mate!
That's very noble of you, thanks for your offer!
Whenever you're ready, just let us know, no pressure
Thanks so much,
Dax.
Theme Manager Plus does this.

Hi PhonePhun,
I believe that program only rotates themes, not wallpapers/backgrounds.
Which would mean you would have to create a seperate theme for every wallpaper you wanted to use.
Besides being inefficient, it wouldn't actually be all bad, but considering you can't create themes with wallpapers that work in both portrait AND landscape configuration, setting a wallpaper is still the best way to go.
Thanks for your input though!
All the best,
Dax.
Shantg001,
That is an EXCELLENT offer, very much appreciated. Let us know when you are done.
More than happy to make a contribution if required as I have been looking for a tool like this for a very long time.
Cheers
WB

Welcome on-board.
And very nice it is too!!.
Of course you realise you have missed out on posting the obligatory half dozen noobie questions about "how do I do a soft reset" etc and gone straight to achieving something by reading up on things
What will now happen of course is that you will get folk requesting "please can you send me that as a cab please"
Mike
Please can you please send me that cab please???
Seriously, excellent job.
Nice RL Skin!
Hey Im trying to design a Wii and Voyager skin. Would you share you xml and mortscripts for RL so I can use them as a template for the skin I what to create? Here is a preview of what I want it to look like. Thanks.
Thanks, but I didn't use any Mortscripts in my skin, all the icons are program launchers in ultimate launch. I use Spb Mobile Shell to launch settings etc.
The look you want can easily be achieved with rl today doing your clock, ultimate launch handling your icons and a nice tsk. for your background (if this is all u want then I can help!)
Great Skin
I really like your skin. It is very well done. How long did it take you to create it? I've been trying to find a skin I like for some time that could simplify the use of WM and make it more finger friendly. I was starting to think that the only way I would be able to get a skin the way I want it is to make it myself. I don't know how long it would take to learn how and then do it and sure if I have the time. If you are willing to share any of your work or the how to it would be greatly apprciated.
Love your clock and layout
Hi Redflag,
Too nice! Just finished knocking up a Rl Today "clock only" to top off my UL screen. Found Pocket Digital clock to be too tall on TytnII.
Can now use Rumball's awesome WeatherPanel schemer.
Your clock is sooo much nicer. May I trouble you for the skin file?
Thanks

sorry, no time to do it, very busy with my job...
This would be definitly fantastic. Great idea. I love LOST.
Great idea, I'd love to see this. I'm a huge LOST fan
Sounds good, nice idea, I hope someone can do it
so any volunteer?
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great Idea
how to create additional tab in manila?
I need some ideas on icons... i am ready to listen
Hm. It`s quite difficult. Perhaps the symbols of the different stations on the island.
...perhaps like this
http://rapidshare.com/files/154170629/Dharma.zip.html
aha, i got it, every station had it's purpose... thx, will try.
this is looking great so far!! any update on the process?
i am a bit busy with my job, but will update soon. I changed my mind, i have another idea on how this can look like. will post soon.(weekend 25-26)
when it is ready?
thanks
i am working on L'amour theme now, but this one will be remade
How is it going.
Hey.
Im a big fan of lost just wondering how it´s going with the theme?
Take care
yes i would love to see this go some where!
Hi to you all!
I'm quite new to the forum but ever since I found my way to it I've spent hours on it
I've been trying to learn to make some icons and stuff and I practiced with the Lost theme. I don't really know how to make themes or cab files or anything, but I thought I could share that little something that I came up with....
I found some icons from this site: http://www.lostseasons.com/lost-icons/ and all the credit to those who made'em. I guess those can be used since they are there available for download. If some one knows otherwise let me know?
Anyway, all the icons were on the big sheet so I had to cut them to individual ones and do some resizing and make the background transparent etc....You can link the .png files to the Diamond icons with Manila editor or if you wish I can share my set of manila files...I just don't know yet if the order of the icons is good or not.
I also attach two wallpapers, other one found from somewhere from this forum (the dharma background) and other one found from some wallpapersite and resized/cropped for optimal resolution...I noticed someone else thinking the same that me too about the dharma stations used as icons and that might be a good idea for other "theme" with the attached dharma wallpaper.
So here's my contribution to the Forum
I just hope I'm not "stepping to anyone's toes" with this....?
14 Tab Icons - Dharma - Lost
I've taken some icons that Toranaga79 posted and combined them with the stock white Icons to create what IMO is a classy set of Tab Icons. I don't use the stock tab, so I didn't create on, if someone really wants it, I'm sure I could whip one up. Hope you like them!
I've created a cab to install the icons. Remember to disable TF3D from you today setup menu before installing/uninstalling.
Looks good nkryptit, I like them!
Thanks
I like the lost themes. Good job
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 somewhat a newbie previsouly owned diamond and vouge but I'm really ready to pull my hair will be more then happy to donate to whoever may help,All I'm trying to do is get background all on tabs I"ve tried to install countless cabs and everytime I try a diffrent one it locks up my TF3D I have seen the program HD wallpaper thing but all I'm really want is a simple cab that will change my wallpaper to be the same on all tabs, I've tried touch X X extreme,backroundalltabs, and countless other ones sorry if I sound tense but have spent about 6 hours on this now, My Rhodium is my baby and I want it to look awsome, and I'm sure that Im probably missing something very simple in my ignorance ! I thank you so much in advance! and if could please post link for a way to donate with reply TY GOT IT TOGETHER THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED ! Found VGA backroundalltabs cab would post link for anyone else having this problem but don't know how, i'm sorry. but wanted to say THANKS to all you who donate your time to help everyone else experience the incredible things are devices can do! Keep up the GREAT WORK
Hehe, you need to take a deep breath and relax. Revisit the thread where you got the HD Wallpaper Creator and read the 1st post in it's entirety. This tool works. Trust me, it's worth the time. Your wallpaper will look nicer, especially if you flip to landscape.
No need for donation for this. It's too easy.
