I have created a Windows Vista UI (WAD)for Athena
But Im still in the process of designing/working it...
Just wanna ask you guys what do you think about my work...(needs some inspirations...)
I called the UI Windows Vista Plus because, obviously the design is Vista-like PLUS I made it 3 in 1.... 3 UI's in 1
1. The first UI is Windows Vista
2. The second one is not really a UI, which I call Picture Frame and
3. A UI I designed which I haven't decided a name yet (Im choosing the names Windows Orbit, Galaxy, Ring and others)
Take note that the theme is not yet finished, so there's still more to do (fonts, links, docks, etc.)
If at least 10 people find my work nice; I would be glad to share the theme here...
Need your comments and
please don't be harsh... thanks..
Vista UI

that looks excellent mate my athena is my second device/tv pc, id love to be able to put that on mine. if your looking to test it on other athenas lt me know, im more than happy to put it on mine and help find any bugs i can.
as for a name for the 3rd os how about somthing along the lines of windows revolution
Thanks for the first comment
Thanks for that...
But this is not a new OS...It's just a theme Im making with WAD...
Sorry for the confusion, just 9 more people to go
and im uploading it soon as it's finished
lol i have no idea why i put OS, i was thinking UI. i have absoloubtly no doubt that more than 9 people may be interested. i like that its something fresh and different, will it be able to run in other res settings via real vga
Yup it will run with different dpi's
but I made this using the default 192 dpi....
The graphics and objects will remain unchanged
but fonts size will surely be affected
So resizing and repositioning of of some texts will be needed if this will be run in 128 and 96 dpi
ill have a look at doing that if and when you release it, as my athena is a sort of spare i have it permanantly connected to the tv and use it as a basic pc when i cant be arsed coming into my office, i think this will really tidy it up nicely
gr8 theme! i love it
when are you planning on sharing it? is it wm6.1 or 6.5?
Excelent work indeed It must have taken a lot of work, there have been many attempts at a vista type look and I recon yours is up there. How is it for speed? the only thing that put me off using them is it can slow things down quite a lot.
Jay
Yup I've been working it for days now...
The tedious part is making some original docks and some images and linking stuff with animations
I might finish the theme within 3 days...
Speed is good, it does not seem to slow down my system (I'm using Michy's Clean 6.1 ROM) and it can be
run in low memory mode which may have a good effect on battey life and multitasking
Another thing is I set this this to be installed on the Storage Card, not in the Microdrive, I've read that the Microdrive uses more power than the Minisd slot, so I Installed it there (storage card) to save more battery life (please correct me if this move will really save batt power). Another advantage is it can be installed through other VGA devices with external card memory named "Storage Card"....
Only 7 people to go....
You ae correct, the microdrive is far heavier on power than the SD so I think you've done right. i'm not sure on the exact figures but it will be somewhere here.
Awesome Work Count Me In as well!!! I have been thirsty for something new, this is TOP SHELF!!!
Ok only 5 people to go
almost finished but it seems I can't make the weather notification work...
Any WAD users here?
Yes! i think the Circular design looks simply great and special for the big screen of the Athena. I would love to have it on my U1000. i understand the Wisbar advance desktop must be installed to the main memory and the program is quite big. My daughter has installed Wisbar Advance 3 in her Ipaq and it looks quite good. Correct me if I am wrong, I understand that WA3 is a lighter skinning program and the extend of skinning is does not include the desktop part. When using Wisbar Advance desktop, is it still necessary to install Wisbar Advance 3 or will the Wisbar Advance Desktop do?
They will work well without the other
WAD can be installed on other storages.....
Wow!! This is very nice!!!
4 people to go
Status:
Vista UI is almost finished
Windows Orbit UI- adding some orbs and stuff
Well I have a good news and the a bad news...
The good news is weather is now updating....
the bad news is...the theme is messed up and I have to redo all...
I was using WAD version 2.1.1 and in the middle of my work,some parts of the theme suddenly became corrupted, with the animations and other stuff messed up too...
I had a back up of the theme and installed the latest version of WAD
and all seems to work but there were glitches... The wallpaper turns pink upon restart and switching to other pages is unstable...
So I decided to redo everything for it to be bug free in the latest WAD version
Which means it will take a couple of days
Good news
Finished Windows orbit first,
Just applying some sounds now...
count me in. i did a vista-type look using wad but it was a simple looking one. yours is definitely up a couple of levels. looks good and the interface is quite crisp.
cheers
Count me.
Hello.
Great work.
Count me in the lis.
I'm using Manila 2D now,but I like WAD too.
The only thing is that I'm at 96 DPI.
How much work need the fonts to work with it.
Regards.

I know you can download different today plug-ins, and i know about VisBar and such, but I don't see how your today screens look so different from mine (after looking at various 'today screen' threads).
My screen is just several horizontal lines, with the usual "no new messages", "active tasts", etc, and a couple of plugins.
I see people's screens with a completely different layout.
Cheers for any replies
matheprat: it might be worth reading through some of the threads on this subject, eg here:

Thanks for the link, very helpful.
How do you get rid of only the bottom toolbar in WM5? I downloaded the program that other people had used, but I could only get rid of the top bar (which i'd prefer to keep), and not the bottom one.
Cheers
matheprat: If you're referring to the program ToggleToday, I haven't released it yet for WM5, but it's coming very soon.

If you need an alternative, try Wisbar Desktop Advance.
V
Note: Wisbar 2 or desktop is very very laggy
Use PPX instead if you want better speed, its just as good as WisDesktop.
This is the skin I m currently using
Does PPX work on WM5? Looking on their website it doesn't mention specific compatibility, but has anyone got it runniung satisfactorily?
Cheers,
Fin
Yes, I forgot to mention PPX. It takes quite a bit of headscratching to get it set up, but it works well in the end. Never tried it on WM5.

I'm still looking for a alternative interface for my phone to operate more easily with my fingers instead of my stylus.
It's so hard to quickly find a contact in my contact list while on a bike, in my car, etc since the scrollbar is like 3 pixels wide. Or to lock the phone or close an application, the icons are to frigging small
Not that I have big hands, rather small for a guy even but still...
Any suggestions?
matheprat: not sure when it'll be released, when I get time!
I'm working on too many other things as well, it's really just when I get a few minutes to work on each bit. Hopefully release fairly soon, as I said, WM5 is done, I need to join it to my old WM2003 code and then check it against a companion today plugin I wrote. Quite a bit of behind the scenes stuff involved

I didn't mean to come accross pushy, sorry if I did. I know there's a lot of work needed in developing programs, and no doubt it will be worth it when it is released.
Many thanks
matheprat: no offence taken at all, didn't think you were being pushy.
ToggleToday was one of the first programs I ever wrote, and then I bought myself a Universal to start development on, but accidently wrote VJBigPhone and that kept me busy for a month or so
Now VJBigPhone has gone quiet, I'm finally getting around to re-writing ToggleToday! It's a messy program to write, particularly for dual WM5/WM2003 compatibility, but the basic code is written. Now I'm wrapping it together and will work on a GUI for it.

i use .mobile contacts on my jam and it makes finding contacts and calling them much much easier while driving. don't know if its completely compatible with WM5 but won't hurt to try. heres the link http://www.sygic.com/mobile/phoneedition/index.php
The MOST stable Today Information plugin eva
By the way, can someone recommend the most stable Today Information Plugin?
I was using latest PowerLevel plugin by ScaryBear but it has lots of memory allocation/deallocation problems. Then I switched to simple 15Kb "TodaysInfo" plugin by Lou Terrailloune (v1.7) and it is quite stable but it has significant rendering delays when rotating screen. So, what is the most stable/fastest one to show battery/memory levels and perhaps it can inform you when your battery charge completed (aka PowerLevel/AudioInformer)?
Thanx!!!
Sounds good - any chance of a link?
I no others are trying to get this interface to work on other HTC phones is there anyone trying to get it on the Universal? As I use my phone in portrait mode 65% of the time it would seem the best interface to have for a portrait device?
Try this and reply
http://www.mobiletopsoft.com/board/2120/implement-the-new-htc-touch-interface-to-your-pocket-pc.html
This is for qvga only !! and not for ours Universal which is VGA...too bad ...
I too am also very interested in seeing this made for the Universal, any developers here thinking about making a VGA version?.... :-D
Thanks for the link, I guess when I get WM6 will give it a shot. The only thing it does not have is the "cube interface". Unless we can get a ROM chef to incorporate it in to OUR ROM. But thanks again.
I tried the ivan's wm6 touch rom posted in the Universal Mobile 6 board, not good, all the nice touch interface become ugly, waiting for someone get a vga touch interface.
So your using the final beta? I've heard mixed reviews of that ROM. Have you tried the files in the linked posted above they say it will work with WM6. I guess we need someone with a vanilla ROM to try it. So does Ivans ROM have the "cube Interface" or just the HTC home plugin and the comm manager?

I tried that rom and found the touch interface is ugly then switched to other rom. I don't think the linked htc home plugin will work unless you know how to set it to work on vga mode. In the elf2 rom there is only htc home plugin, I didn't see the "cube interface", I maybe wrong since I didn't play too much in that rom. I am still trying different rom and haven't found one that is better,
Vanilla WM6 with linked CAB
Has anyone tried a vanilla WM6 with the linked CABS in this thread?
HTC Touch
I think people are overestimating just how good the touch interface is. I don't have one myself, but after watching every review on the net, it just doesn't look like the (*rolls eyes*) iPod equivalent everyone is saying it is. Sure, it looks pretty, but the interface is slow as hell, and the swipe feature will be hard to use on any device where the edge of the screen is raised.
I'll stick with Spb Mobile Shell with black theme on KDSKamal's WM6-Beautiful thank-you very much.
I hear ya', but I don't care about the Ifone, this an HTC product made for a specific phone Touch/Elf. Our phone is not going to be supported by any carrier anymore, so we as the collective need to make use of what our phone maker has to offer. The Touchflo is the newest thing, wether or not Apple came out with there phone or not I would still want that capability on my phone. Sure I could go buy WAD(Wisbar advance desktop) and recreate the look of it and some functionality of it; but with so many bright minds in this forum, as well as so many other phones of the HTC brand porting it to their phones I thought we might have a chance as well. Hell if I still have my phone and WM7 comes out I will try to get that as well! Please don't take this rant as personal attack, just had a hard day.
Peace
Peace back at ya man.
I agree that we should try to keep our Unis as up to date as possible, and I absolutely agree - when WM7 comes out, I want it on my Uni. What I meant was that, although TouchFlo IS the newest HTC 'innovation', it also seems to be one of their poorest. As I said, I haven't actually used one yet, but after a few hours of video reviews online, it just looks like a s l o w gimmick that HTC Touch users will get annoyed with after a week or so, and wish they could un-install.
Regards
I have both the Jasjar and the Touch and so far I am happy of having them both.
I really like the size of the touch and if you don't want to use the TouchFlo interface, use it like the ordinary PPC. There is no need to uninstall because the default interface is the same as the other PPCs.
Opps
Any updates about TouchFLO for Universal..
Neo users are having it!
Try this it's fantastic, though it has some bugs still.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328010
Its just a flash program!
Right, it is *.swf file.
You can create a shortcut *.lnk file that link to the *.swf file and place it \Windows\Startup\, bingo, your PPC boots up to Touch Flo.
But anyone figures out how to remove the demo wordings on it?
Wohooo!
HTC Home works on my SPV m5000!
But, looks like crap, fonts are under the skin, the contact icons are bigger than the frame so i can't see the face.
Uninstalled!

I re-switched to RealVGA after installing this, but it wasn't like this... That Telenor font was way bigger, and could only be partially seen. That unread icons, i could see half of them... etc.
Oh and the PDA was slower.
hey!
i thought of this after installing flash player on my asus p525 and found this menu working fine till u press on any icon. it is working fine but for SE phone system
can any flash pro edit it to manage to use it as a menu for our wm5\6 devices.
plus we can start a whole new project ...who needs a cube
i have like a 100 other menus and flash screens as well
WOW!! this is freaking awsome, did you make this flash file?
no... its from sonyericsson walkman mobiles
I mockuped one of the icons in photoshop and it looks awsome, I will be up for the graphics if anyone is interested in developing this.

Uh, anyone care to post a few pics?
this is the equalizer flash theme as found (or hidden in most cases) on Sonys W810i walkman phone. They support flash out of the box but most operators patched it out for some reason.
would be cool to have something like this for ppc
thats very slick - I for one would use it, I'm up for testing if anyone follows this up...
how about the cross bar menu system present on the new PS3 and the PSP..
that's also cool.. i think the one you posted (found on older walkman phones) is the root of that launcher menu system..
it looks something like this:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=hCPOob3Bya4
SE and sony is now standardizing the menu system of their devices.. i read it somewhere that later upcommming devices will all sport this kind of UI in the future..
just like the new k850i wherein the Media menu is already cross bar menu standard..
http://youtube.com/watch?v=OHmodZbF-W4
i love to see this kind of menu system on our PPCs..
a little breather and finally an escape to mimicking the iphone UI (it gets tiring you know)..
hope someone can make this work in our devices.
i think the ps3 'theme' is a bit simple and lame, remember its called "flash" not dull, im hopeing that who ever takes up the challenge on the flash UI front makes it drain my battery with animation - I want a slick MOFO of a program..

no i am not directly saying that we copy the ps3 menu.. i too beleive it is lame.. especially the icons and colors (and so does the touch's)..
but we can learn something from it.. maybe we could pattern something out of it.. given that it will be made under flash. the menu handling is good though.. ditch the animation..
I found this guid to editing flash files, this might help you guys
http://www.howardforums.com/showpost.php?p=9303719&postcount=6
flash being an interpreted language like old vb
and .net
dont that give responsiveness issues ?
and can interp'd language run and do stuff while the pda is off
or can only real bin programs do that ?
I think it will be alot better without the equa animation, I think flash launcher will be great great idea, to save space in today screen and you just have to scroll one line icons.

what we need is someone to find the commands for these buttons and change it to call PPC applications
its pretty easy when u find where is the commands actually
but this one is writting in a very complicated way i dont understand. it needs a pro to deal with it
Check what i found!!!! http://www.uploading.com/en/files/LHVD6ZWU/SWFS.rar.html
thanks man.
i have those and over a 100 others
lets first start to make the menu work.... then we can add a standby screen with menu button to lead to those menus.... who know mayby it can be motion animation like the PocketCM ! and an option to change the menus

Making a menu system or interface in flash isn't really the issue.
It's very simple to make something that looks cool and wizzy the problem is creating a flash interface that can communicate with the wm OS.
I've been looking into this but haven't found a way to create a plug-in for flash that sits on the home screen which can then pass parameter to the OS and for example open an application or start the phone.
These guys are getting close but even this is the result of creating a full screen application that sits on top of the existing OS
http://www.whoneedsaniphone.com/.
If anyone has the skills to create a today screen plug-in that can house a swf then the sky would be the limit as to what could be created.
Cheers

I agree with this. I can create a flash interface but that wont help me because I don't know how to get it to communicate with WM6.
for a beta version we can create the swf and assign a softkey to it
as if its a menu
I'm working on a flashlite diamond layout, so far this is what i've got. The signal and battery status up top should both work and the icons on the bottom scroll when you click on the far right one. Hopefully I'll be adding some more functionality to it soon. Please leave any comments or suggestions. So far only tested on the wing and you need flash lite installed.
Update: New icons, finger scrolling
Working on a way to disable the right click while its open, also soon an update with clock
http://cid-11fcacbb36b0b63f.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Public/phone%20v1.4.swf
Sweet!! give us MORE please
thanks for making a flashlite version of the diamond interface. its a good beginning but i'd like to scroll the icons with a finger move instead of tapping the last icon. also the icons should have a higer resolution in the future.
keep up good work!
also, looks great and all, but will you eventually make the icons look EXACTLY like the diamond's?
Looks nice, if you want any help on the graphics just send me a pm.
New update!!!
fast update! unfortunately i cant open the swf anymore.. It says: check for valid SWF or valid SVG failed, aborting attempt to load content.
i hope you can fix this problem.
is the 22kb filesize correct?
EDIT: the correct filesize is 14.5kb i selected "save file as" the frist time. you must download the swf by clicking on the link instead of savefile as.

This clock as a today plugin would be sick! Looking forward to it
The Minute-Counter has the same prob as the second-counter!
jumps from 14 to 16...
but awsome work!
I used POCKET THEME MANAGER 2 in my wm2003 pocket pc, but it doesnt work so good in WM6, so i'm now using it with FLASHTHEMES...
On the other hand, the FLASHTHEMES generator doens work good with vista, so im having some problems creating a normal black TSK to use it with, lol...
btw, just tested it and the seconds jump from 2 and 2 on my htc touch dual, thats a slow ystem problem...
I'm at work right now, but when I get home I'm planning on trying .netcf to make a todayscreen plugin

Tried that... apparently getting the swiping menu is easy but integrating the Phonebook and SMS is giving me some problems. I needed someone to code the native C dll files to retrieve Contacts and SMS messages and then I can integrate it into my program...
slow system problem?
i have a kaiser and my pc is a core2duo 3ghz, 3gb ram ...i don't think its too less performance ^^
hey again
there's a problem with the clock
the hours counter is nt moving
hope this will go into a gr8 today plugin

I've been using it some hours now and it really is very good. Of course it needs some polishing, but the whole application is very responsive and the feeling overall is very positive. Bigger weather database would be awesome, but anyways...it looks like TF3D has some serious alternative...

May be a stupid question or a case of not Reading the Fine Manual, but how did you get the temperature in °C in PointUI ?
I am a little bit disappointed
Nothing special to say here...
Pointui Home 2 is not better then TF3D, but keep trying folks ,maybe some day
it's a nice UI but 18MB is a lot on the memory

It was there by default...I guess it has something to do with your regional settings...in weather panel, the temperature is displayed in Fahrenheit and it cannot be changed to C, as far I know...
again no unicode support - that sucks
15mb of memory used by pointUI here on my diamond...
...and my battery was never drained so fast as did with this app running.
can some one plz poste a working cab for the diamon, some reason it wont install on my device.
cheers

Found the answer on the official forum, you have to edit the Accuweather URLs in the xml config files (no global setting).

you have to change the metric=0 in the link to accuweather to metric=1
in the \Program Files\Home2\AppletRibbon\Today\Cities.xml
and for the world plugin: \Program Files\Home2\AppletRibbon\World\Cities.xml
In the same line of where city that you want to chose
PS: edit the Cities.xml with note
Im really liking it, using pocket player as my media player alternative, expect when I press play on my car radio it launches windows media player which is annoying. My battery life seems to be as good if not better on this to be honest.

Look it up on accuweather.com and add to the xml file in the today and world folders (see forum on Home 2 homepage for more detailed support)
You have to play with the x and y values in order to get the correct position on them world map.
Battery drains a lot quicker than TF3D unfortunately. Barely used it today and after 12 hours I have like 30% battery left...
20 minutes internet, checking a few sms/emails that's it...
No match for TF3D...
Don't get me wrong, PointUI 2 is an excellent piece of software, but like so many other interfaces I've tried in the past, I find myself switching back to TF3D within the hour.
TF3D has it's faults, sure... but the fact that I keep on using it, even with the choice of so many other UI's says everything. Of course, it's all down to personal taste
wallpaper for touchui
ive made a wallpaper that fits the grid quite well if anyone wants it.

I'm using Home2 a couple of hours now and the battery use isn't that bad. Also it is much faster than TFL3D.
Please remember it is a beta version and they still working on it.
I agree with you emil, the battery life isn't bad at all...TF3D isn't so much better consumption-wise, it is more practical and useful, but after some time of use it's performance falls drastically (memory % increase/leak too) and it starts to feel slugish...no matter what...we'll see how it's going to be with Home 2, but so far so good...I miss music player, proper alarm/battery display and some option panels but I guess we'll get there soon.
I experimented and cooked Home 2 in lite (no manila) rom and it's working like it should...
addon
and the best thing is that Amazing scripting support! you can easy build addon's and Themes
Its a nice UI, but frankly..TF3D is way better,but of course this is my opinion... going back to TF3D
