Thanks! And if you have any feedback (requests, etc) just let me know!

Just tried this on my Fuze. Works great, but could use more features. Like more voice bubbles to choose from, more resizing options, and maybe some different fonts to choose from. Nice work.

Thanks for the feedback!
When you say "more resizing options"... what do you have in mind? Currently the resizing is simply dragging the corner of a caption/bubble to resize. Are you thinking of a "size to fit text" sort of thing?

Tried this on my Omnia i910 with WM 6.1. Didn't work. The trial version loaded, but when I selected a picture to load it crashed every time.

I hadn't tested this on a device with a screen resolution the size of the Omnia's (240 x 400). I'll see about getting a rom image setup with that resolution and test on that.
Thanks for the report!

This looks really cool. Can't wait to try it.

have not tried it, but does it support speech bubbles with curves instead of rectangular? eg oval, rounder corners etc

I've updated this to version 1.1 (see the first post, primarily to add the "Guidance dots" to make it easier to know how to resize the bubbles and captions.
Also includes a few various bug fixes.
If you have any requests just let me know! (Additional bubble types and a few effects are in the works...)

I will try this, but currently, it is very plain.
Add more bubbles (thought bubbles, transparency, etc.) and fonts for the words. The more the better!

Today launcher that supports big icons ?

Hello everybody !
After numerous attempts to customize my HTC trinity for a thumb-based experience, I finally got onto some applications that really do the job :
- Tene's PocketCM for the contacts
- ArticCat's OTO for the calendar (works well so far, however I hope to see more of it soon)
- Paulya's Vista II dialer replacement
- A_C's S2U for the lock and S2V for the pics viewer
- HTC's PhonePad for the SIP and Mediaplayer for the music player
- SPB's Mobile Shell for the navigation and the menus.
What I'm missing is a launcher that would work as a today plugin, and that would support large icons in PNG format (thus, with alpha transparency). By "big" I mean "larger than the default 32x32 pixels that all launchers support" - 48 or 60 pixels beeing the size I'm after (something large enough for my fat thumbs ). I don't need tab support, since there are only a small number of apps I want to access from the today screen (typically 8-12).
Do you know if anything that'd meet my needs exists for WM5? Even for a small/reasonable fee (means, around 10-15$) ?
Thanks a million in advance !
I think i used claunch to put a really big shortcut (64x64px) on my todayscreen
Greetings, Vi
ThrottleLauncher
Search for the ThrottleLauncher thread here. No Today plugin yet but all indications are that it will be coming. Great launcher, you can size the rows the pictures are in to any size you wish. I am using 56picsels by 56picsels.
pocketage - no size limit
I tried to install PocketAge from the latest CAB I could find on this board, but something must have gone bad... My Trinity is now stuck as reboot
Everytime I soft-reset it, it got stuck then block at the following step :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Of course, none of the hard or soft buttons work and I can't dismiss this reminder. I tried to remove the corresponding event from outlook but I couldn't manage to sync the device. I noticed I can access the device filesystem. One strange thing, though, makes me thing that the system is not completely frozen : the clock on the reminder changes and shows the correct time.
Any idea how to recover my phone without having to hard-reset it ? Thanks !!!

yeah, claunch is a good one. it's a today plugin and you can use custom icons. not sure if they are png though never tried it. it has way more options than you need but you can configure it how you want....

Small application for image cropping inc. preset for SCLPC++ contact pix -Cropper 1.0

This is a small application codded in VB.NET for cropping contact photos by selecting the desired part of the photo. I've added special preset for SCLCP++ contact photos (the photos are cropped and resized 72x75).
Features:
- Open, save and crop PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP files
- Read contact photos form PocketOutlook
- Probably lot of bugs
A have attached 2 installers:
- Clean install no source included
- Full install vb.net sources are installed along application in "Source" folder
for other .net developers:
I have made a little .net class wrapper for gsGetFile.dll so if you want to use it or modify it please do so. The wrapper saves the last open and save folder in the registry so there's no need to do It in your code... the paths saved are per application
Developers please do not curse me for the more-than-not-optimal coding.. this is one of the first .net applications I've coded... and users please report the bugs you find..
Some known bugs:
- Not adequate behavior when no selection is made.
- When you open a file or get a contact picture the view mode is reset
- Selections from right to left mirror the selection
**************** Version 1.01 UPDATE
ChangeLog:
- Added crude support for SmartPhone (no touchscreen.. small dot for pointer)
- Renamed "Custom" preset to "Free"
- Added support for custom sized crops - new preset "Custom"
- Added "Settings" dialog for choosing the default OpenFile Dialog
- Removed sources from the installer (only in separate archive)
Some screens:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
*** I hate the choose image dialog so I use the gsGetFile.dll's one.. maybe I will add a setting to switch the default dialog box.
Cool, prog! I've been exporting my pics to GIMP, editing them.. and then sending back to phone and its a pain! good job!
Cheers

Frickin awesome man..
I have been waiting for something like this. Can't wait to get home and try. well done!!!!
You should rename your files to show 1.0 version so that way when you update it we will know we are downloading the new one..Just an idea..
Awesome! I'll be using this a lot as loading up photoshop or GIMP is annoying!
I guess I'm a bit lazy for not trying it but does it work on WM Standard (non touchscreen) aswell??
Seems like a very nice app!!!
Very nice application.
Thank you
Nice work.
Just one slight problem... VS 2008 is refusing to convert the source code ... I'll tweak the settings and see what happens.

I've just updated the version to 1.01 (crude pseudo cursor). It will be nice if someone test it on SmartPhone...
this app seems exactly what I've been looking for, thx for the effort! let the contact-pics roll!
Great Idea and great application.
wonderful. thank you.

[UPDATE] Realize skin for Winterface! v1.2

Save as Windows Bitmap, 24bit colour depth, RGB colour profile and in the format R5,G6,B5 (available in Photoshop Advanced Options when you save as Bitmap).
Saving Alpha channel makes no difference that I can see.
You'll need to keep the original contact image as it matches the one in the "black.bmp" file and ensures the contact pictures show correctly once you've selected a single contact to dial.
Icons need to fit 42px x 42px squares on the grid
Hope that helps.
Thanks to bluemetalaxe for his excellent Realize icons:

Wooooooow.
I like it so much for my Winterface.
Black was good, but make me sad after a while.
Thanks
Great looking, but how did you get around the issue of the Contact pictures getting screwed up? Or did you?
nice skin, thanks

The key is to keep the existing contact image because Winterface seems to use it as a mask, so the image in black.bmp and icons.bmp have to be indentical
Wow! Works flawlessly. I guess the next step is figuring out how to change the background and how to choose icons for when you add files.
Superb job.
well done and good work dave. I still hope wintershell will be some times skinnable in a easier way (or in any way at all)
This is the working link for my icon set:

By the way, i´ve done a quite nice s2u2-skin for wintershell too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2466622&postcount=70
Greetings.
Updated for WInterface 1.2
New skin includes some extra small icons such as unlock, calendar, ticks etc.
See first post
Its Cool Cuz You Can Mix And Match Default And Icon Sets From Diff Skins And They Work Well:d
please.
i really like the winterface. however, the 40dollars price tag is too much for a little app like this.
is there anyone who is taking matter into his own hand and build a free winterface?
i am pretty sure winterface developer borrowed larna's source code and made the winterface.

Are you looking for latest Winterface 1.2 registered version?

menu for big fingers

hi everyone does anyone know where i can get the large menu in this picture (right picture) or even just its name...i do no its from the touch hd though
btw this picture is from cmex's rom
that one up here should be part of the touch HD SIP (software keyboard)
however, u can get something similiar for other programs. its called "finger menu".
This is it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459125
I'd be careful with it on the X1 though!
It is still under development
I tested it on X1 and there's a problem with the background transparency because it uses alphablend
alpha sometimes worx and sometimes it doesnt. in general ... high potential, but loads of minor anoying bugs.
Works perfect for me. be sure to install it on device memory, and soft reset.
perfect? i doubt it!
try to copy/paste Numbers in your Contacts.
try to select folders in files exlorer (upper left menu without installing plugins to fix it)
some programs simply dont work
perssing the OK button while finger menu is open screwes the Program and closes Finger menu ...
thats far from perfect but pretty good start
my advice, go to advanced config, open interface and increase the "popup menu fontsize" to 1000 or ore more.not nearly as nice but works like a charm so far.

If you use portrait more than landscape then try 1200 and the use the light font that gets installed with Yota contacts (don't think it's available seperately, but I'll extract it later on if you want)
That looks really nice, is even more finger friendly and the font looks very crisp..
thanks for the info, i dont think will try finger menu yet, maybe at a latter stage in its development!
changing the pop-up menu font size works perfectly, exactly what i wanted.
fards if you could extract the better font for me when you have spare time that would be brilliant,
Thanks everyone

[Updated] backgroundCreator

I've made an application that will replace the theme's background with a background of your choice.
The advantages of using my program:
- unlike on your device itself, you can zoom in and out of pictures and get just the part YOU want on your devices today screen.
- you get a seperate part of the picture for both portrait and landscape mode, not the same one like windows does (either cropped or tiled).
It's an application specifically designed for the XPERIA but it can be used with other devices with the same resolution (or if I make small modifications which consist in users being able to select the preferred resolution).
You can load a picture, modify it to your wishes and then either save it directly onto your device or make a backup which you can use for later on your desktop computer.
Update: You can now change the fontcolor of your todayscreen and start menu, as well as changing your devices base color.
For example the color for your menu's and background colors for standard windows applications like messaging, etc...
If there are things you dislike or would like to see changed; functionality you would like me to add, please tell me.
Note:
- All 3 files are needed to run the application.

I have no experience with manilla, I don't even know what it is ^_^!
If manilla uses the files windows provides to use as a background, it will (like stwater_800_480), otherwise it won't.
wow, glad to see a nifty little program like this. can't wait to try it out, thanks for the development!
I've added some features which now makes it a basic theme editing program as well.
Also I have bad news..
my x1 fell in my cup of soup a few days ago T_T so I turned it in for repairs. I got lucky after like 20 times I could flash my old ROM and SPL back so they can't complain about that..
Will it change the background only of the Today Screen?
No changes in the screen of the Sony Ericsson Panel?
(I'd like a program to change the Sony Ericsson Panel Background, doing it manually is a little tedious)
will this creator also run with windows mobile 6.5?
great thanks for development!!
