A while back I came across a theme called MM-HTC (MaxMotus over at pocketcm) which I really liked but wanted to change it to my specific needs before starting to use it. Since then, I have created and have been maintaining my own versions of this base theme with multiple colours and fixes for many issues including adding support for the various new versions of PocketCM that has since been released.
Here is the result:
v3.1 now available with support for PocketCM v0.20 only.
5/3 - Purple V2 - Using the Schaps ROM background image
Added in this release:
- Purple version to match the default Schaps Rom theme
- Louis Vuitton version theme as a once off.
- Green version theme to match the Windows Mobile Green Theme
Soon I will be releasing v3.1 versions of the other colours (Black, Blue, Cyan and Classic) as well with the following changes:
- Fix for Options page alignment
- Fix for add contact numbers panel
- Changed header - removed signal, battery, time etc and added close box (looks better IMHO)
- Fix for alignment of filter screen buttons
See the known issues section below for remaining items.
Please do not post adaptations/changes to this theme without PM'ing me first. I want to complete it before we start creating copies.

Am an ex-South African living in Toronto. Language in sms is Afrikaans.
Oh, and credit for the theme is not mine alone. The author of MM-HTC did most of it, I just tweaked it a bit.
My new favorite theme. Fits the Sprint Touch perfectly.

If I had a VGA phone I would release a VGA version.
Can you send me screenshots of what it looks like on your phone. If I can see what the issues are, maybe I can fix them
How can I restore the alphabet index along the left side? I've edited the system.ini to make some personal adjustments (height of each contact in list, seperator bar, size of contact picture)...but have not been able to succesfully enable the index.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
i'm currently working on a small weather app for windows mobile.
I'm not yet ready to release a version as an important feature is still missing (configuring the city where you live ).
It makes use of the Google.com weather API and also downloads the images from there.
Goal is to make it as finger friendly as possible, and support multiple resolutions (currently running in VGA) while keeping it simple feature-wise.
Developing under #develop 3.0 with .net CF 2.0 and it's my first Windows Mobile app
Todo:
- add customizeable font colors (currently only background colors changeable)
- transparent icons
- add multiple cities selection
Installation:
- Just unzip anywhere on your PPC
Change history:
V0.4.1 beta:
Just a very small update:
- Fixed bug where weather "age" showed wrong time if update was longer than 24h ago (added "d" now for showing whole days if > 24h)
- changed startup time, now shows last weatherdata much quicker
- added finger scrollable settings menu (test only)
- changed customizer to finger controllable (removed trackbars, again test only)
V0.4 beta:
- changed update behavior (no update on startup, only manual)
- cached last weather settings: Program will start with last downloaded weather data and display "age" of this weather data in hours or minutes
- Update now also possible by clicking the upper panel (in addition to the large weather icon)
V0.3 beta:
- .cab installer available
- Fixed download issue: No longer partly downloaded images
- fixed settings menu layout for VGA (now scales correctly)
- added "Customize" menu: Configurable colors for the 3 main layers (Upper, middle and lower)
V0.2 beta:
- reworked GUI, now should fit VGA and QVGA devices
- added "Settings": Hold & Tap to get into settings menu - allows changing of all weather related settings
- new icons (by www.defcom.com)
V0.1.1 beta:
- fixed QVGA display
- fixed °F / °C conversion
V0.1 beta:
- very early first release, use at your own risk!
- downloads weather data on start
- refresh by pressing the big weather icon
- customizeable only via xml settings file
- language can be changed by changing path (e.g. from .com to .de) of google URL in settings XML
- 2 settings with DE and EN languages available, just copy to the same location as the exe and rename to Settings.xml
Known issues:
- none
Download V0.4.1:

Looks very promising. Will have an eye on it. If possible, please add the posibility to change the background so that it sticks to your favourite theme.
Layout looks clean, simple and nice. You say fingerfriendly - how about buttons ? Just did one quickly in Photoshop, maybe you use something like this, a bit lighter maybe to fit the big amount of white..
Maybe you could include an option to choose different icon sets as in WeatherPanel.
regards,
Martin

Idea is good, but this would bloat this app. And the author wrote, that the images are directly from Google, so I guess different icon sets are not planned.
Looks like it takes up a lot of screen space. Will you have a simple today plug-in? The best that I've ever found is Pocketweather. It even has a GPS feature where it automatically updates your location and gives you that weather forecast. TONS of different today plug-in styles too.

Well, I like the idea of a GPS feature, too.
Next idea: Automatic download of weather conditions with autoclose connection when it's done.

Well since I'm downloading those images only once (not if they already exist) one could easily replace them with other images.
However, the filenames would have to be identical and one would need a complete list of google's weather icons (which i don't have).
Good idea, congratulations and good job

I could be wrong, but I think that google gets its weather info from weather.com, same as yahoo does. So you should be able to use any icons with that numbering.
Uploaded V0.1, see post #1
hallo, i tried it on my qvga device.
simple and clean,
-but the text and icons at bottom could be a little bigger
-and i have no temperature.
- i just changed the location in the xml to my hometown and it seems to work ?
Thanks for your input!
Think I forgot the control scaling for these labels, gonna update to V0.1.1 soon!
Thanks for going into public will test it right now. But why don't you upload your file to XDA-Dev? I guess there's no need for rapidshare...
thank you nemo, and please don`t forget that the temperature is missing at the forecast !
and post it here so we all can download faster.
Weather
Ok Im a weather nut. If its weather software I've tried it all.
I changed to my city here in the USA. I changed the degre reading to true for Fahrenheit. But it stays Celcius.
I've uploaded V0.1.1 which fixes QVGA display issues and Fahrenheit / Celsius conversions.
(however it also introduces also some font display issues with VGA, so better stay with V0.1 when using VGA devices!)
Uploaded V0.2, see post #1
finally you can choose your own city keep up the progress and thanks for the update.

Hi,
thank you for your feedback. This tends to happen now and then and only for the lower 4 images and i still don't know why exactly (because it's the same code for all images and either the download gets interrupted or it doesn't save the images correctly to the PPC...).
The same code works fine on windows Vista however (using .NET HttpWebRequest)
Solution for now: Delete the "cache" folder and try again to update your weather.
I really like the HTC icons for the weather and would like to add this kind of wather to the site I am working on. My question is, which service should I look into to allow guests to put in their city and see the icon corresponding to the weather, as well as icons of upcoming weather inside their calendar. I remember seeing links to services that provide this information and can be read to show the appropriate icons. I would appreciate any assistence. Thank You!
ClimaCell Weather API
I have used ClimaCell for more than 10 projects and its very easy to use and scalable.
To address your requirement have a look at their widgets. They have pretty cool widgets/icons to embed in any mobile/web app.
Also their forecast includes
1. Real Time
2. Current
3. Daily
4. Weekly
5. Monthly
6. Yearly
7. Custom
Hope it would be better to share it with you.

Nope and new update released if anyone wants to give it a go. New features:
- To-do support w/ privacy options for password protection
- Priorities - Prioritize notes, to-do's, to-do tasks
- Sorting through notes, to-do's, tasks will remember your preference
- Attach To-do's to notes
- Tagging & tag sorting. From the sort menu you can choose the sort by tags option and a list will be presented with all tags you've entered and choosing one will display all notes/todo's with that tag.
I will try this out
-Downloaded, have some suggestions
Ability to change font size
I love the sketch feature. When attaching though, it would be nice to have a preview image like the one for an attached Image. (Instead of having to hit the tiny "attached sketch" link
Will add more as I use this over the next few days.
i'll check it out.
push to evernote/db?
EDIT:
Tried to add To Do List to homescreen shortcut...
"Sorry!
The application Loading... It may several minutes to complete, please wait (process.com.htc.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
EDIT II (the sequel):
same thing when trying to More>New Note Shortcut from main screen
EDIT III (the sequel returns):
lol it put them all on my first homescreen. i have 4, the default homescreen is 2
i'd like to be able to change the text color to black. other than that, i really like it so far!

That should be easy enough to add. BTW, there is a font option in the main screen menu though it doesn't change the size but rather the reverts to default android font which actually looks bigger.

For some reason HTC sense always seems to pose a problem for me lol. On the emulator, n1, and galaxy s w/ cyanogenmod I have none of those issues. BTW, which font color are you referring to. The brownish one?
I tried it. Looks pretty nice, the style, color and font! The Add to statusbar option is nice.
Bug: Add To-Do option FC's.
"Request": I would say an "Add a new note" button at the bottom of notes list would be useful

I think I'm keeping it until I see the first ad popup.
Common task shortcut buttons on the main screen would be more user friendly then having to go through the menus

Hey folks,
I have been into this app which has a lot to do with calendar and dates.
I am still confused about the libraries available for it, I will be requiring the calendar to have following features:
- The calendar should change (by month) when I swipe UP or DOWN
- The boxes of month should have specific colors according to the events of that particular day, eg: red for urgent issues, green for vacation and so on
- The boxes should also have ICONS like weather updates for that particular date
- A LIST VIEW of the calendar will also be needed
If anyone has seen any which can accommodate these features, do let me know.
Cheers
Alex
Hey Alex,
for me, these seem more like programming issues, rather than library ones.
For the first one (The calendar should change (by month) when I swipe UP or DOWN) implementing a gesturedetector is the best way to go Imo.
The other three are simple coding issues, like setting backgrounds, drawables and implementing a listview.
As a tip, you should check out a library we made called "CalendarWrapper" (sorry, I can't yet post links, search for it on GitHub). Basically it's a wrapper around the CalendarProvider, so there's no need to mess around with cursors, everything can be done with object methods. It lacks a few features though.
I don't think there are any ready to use libraries with these specific features, so I'm afraid you will have to build it yourself. There are a few date picker / time picker dialogs floating around, or android-times-square from Square, but you'll have to look into extending it with the specific features like image overlay support for the weather/icon.
caldroid
Have a look at caldroid, it does not have all the functions you seek but is very customizable.
Since you are asking for too much in one library, you will have to do a lot of coding on top of any library that you choose.
thankx
Thankx guys, CalendarWrapper did give me something to look into but caldroid has almost done the job for me.
I have finished the bulk of the job with caldroid now it is printing images inside the dates and list view left.
I do know where to start for list view but printing icons inside boxes could be tricky
Will update you guys when I am done with the APP and put it on play store.
Cheers
