Well, after installing photoshop i decided to give a stab at my own start menu buttons and heres what i came up with.. i was super surprised at how well they turned out, soooo lol.. here you go

Great!
That looks amazing. Much better than the default round Background.

Very nice! I made 2 .cabs of these so you don't have to manually copy them into \Windows. In addition, you can uninstall it, then reset to revert to the old softkeys.
Vistabuttons.cab includes both the softkeys and the start menu select mod, while Vistabuttons2.cab contains only softkeys, and not the start menu select mod. And to my knowledge, this will not work on a (W)VGA device, so don't install if that's the case. BTW, all credit goes to the OP.

Wow, thank you!
And yes, i should have stated.. i made this for my Omnia i910 rom which is wqvga

I thought I just saw this somewhere else.

Hmm.

@Nagrom Nniuq
I see the similarities, but it's not a rip off. Just a simple button made with photoshop and not skilfully done as dwizzy130's.

The icon for the lock on your phone has nothing to do with the buttons. Its the rom. I cooked these buttons in with my rom and it works fine... i see the lock icon. And yea i could make these transparent.

yeah the screwed up buttons is a rom issue, I had this happening and rebuilt my kitchen, recooked and it's all good now...

Does anyone want this in any other colors.

i have a kaiser with the sleuth 3.0 rom and im about to test it out on the new dcs rom, i dont think it should be a problem on any device though

Thank you. Trying it now.
It looks cool, doesn't it? Thanks. Will try it as well...
does it support smart dial?
that might be its only flaw... but then again... i usually use vibrating keys (and smart dialer slows it down) and my speed dials anyway soo that isnt that big of a loss to me...
What today/desktop plugin is that in the background?
GREAT looking dialer too!
its a windows vista replica made with Wisbar Advance Desktop and Wisbar Advance 2... the skin is free... but WAD and WA3 arent
I need to buy those. Been seeing some good lookin things with them.
It looks good alright, but it doesn´t support videocall
thank you for your sharing
If only this app has smartdial...

I found this dialer earlier and to me, its perfect... I wish you could change the background, but oh well... to install, run the cab on your device and soft reset

Thanks a lot....... I had installed on my Elfin. It works fine but the smart dial is gone.

This is with the flash clock
Notes:
Non-flash clock is black and a bit messed up
Black Large icons
White buttons
On music page - flipped volume up and volume down keys (Vol + is on the left and Vol - is on the right)
Silver/White/Black Back and icons on landscape
Comm Manager - In the process of changing the last two icons and adding the words on and off.
Programs and Settings - White back to icons. In the process of creating new icons for Settings.
See attached pictures for what I mean
If you have suggestions, feel free to post them here.
Here's my files: Link
Instructions:
1. Backup original TouchFlo3D folder in \ThrottleLauncher\Setups.
2. Download my modified TF3D file.
3. Disable ThrottleToday in Start>Settings>Personal>Today>Items.
4. Extract to \ThrottleLauncher\Setups.
5. Go back to settings and enable ThrottleToday.
6. Enjoy!
very good really
thanks alot for sharing this
A little peak on an update
hoooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww tks....
hmm... perhaps you can put it in a subdirectory under the skin, and named it as Bright under the tf3d directory. Of course, xml editing need to be done.
Alternatively, you can even create another directory similar to Touchflo3d.
Well done, and keep up the good work!!
Great work!! Thanks!!

How did you change your windows logo on the start menu I like yours about 100000 times more than the normal one
I actually use Garmin's roms. You can ask him how to change the logo. I think it's a png file attached to a .dll

Nice work. Keep it up

OT: topbar icons
I'm a bit off topic but just would like to ask, how you where able to change those topbar icons, can some of those removed as well?

The screen shot is of a device using Wisebar Advanced - it allows you to completely skin your top and bottom bars. (WkTasks can change only the OK button) There are a lot of really cool skins available from their web site www.lakeridgesoftware.com . I stopped using in in my old gigabyte i300 as it took too much memory - but the newer devices can probably handle it though.
Been really wanting to try out Wisbar, but I already have WKTask and QuickMenu running. Will Wisbar interfere with those programs or is it possible to have all 3 running?

Yes, Im afraid it will. But I would much rater keep WkTask insted of getting WisBar
I love WKTask, but I wanted to try out the skinning of the top and bottom bars. Do ou think it's worth testing out, or should I just stick with WK and don't risk messing anything up?
You will need to pay for wisbar, is it worth paying for something your just gonna "play around" with? There is a trial period though it may have inaccessable functions.

No, that is not Wisbar.
He changed some icons in a DLL file.
Take a look HERE to see how you change these files.
You can change your Start-icon, but also the other icons in your topbar.

SPB 3 and standard WM6

hey guys,
wonder if this possible, i love the the new SPB3 but is there anyway to take out the start and bar at the top of the page the standard WM6, cause looks really nice then you have the standard ugly bar at the top
If it is possible can you explain in detail, cause not a great 'Hacker' as such
thanks in advanced
Shane
just realized i posted in wrong section, posted this in QnA too
i would really like to know this as well

Even if there is away to disable the start button and take it out, leave the bar with the sound, and signal etc just want to take the start button and wording away??
there is an option to do that in the spb shell settings
making the start button go away isnt difficult, just install wisbar advance and then find a theme that you like
I just have a little "theme" on the bar that makes it completly black and i dont even notice it:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Take the theme, unrar it and paste it on the Windows folder.

where did you see this clock? who made it, is it just that it has been made for 2.1 and you want it for 2.5?

oh hey thanks! i was looking for something like this, because i was in the HDWall thread in this subforum and i saw the examples and was highly amazed at how you were able to see the walpaper in the background through the clearglass clock, much better over the solid clock.
I just made this...hopefully it will work. it is working on Cell Evo V5
There is no reason why it shouldn't work on any 2.5/Leo based ROM, it won't work on 2.1 as the files are different.
to install, goto: settings>Home Settings> Items >Untick HTC Sense.
Install Cab, when finished go back to home settings and retick sense.
Wait for Sense to restart,
Then Enjoy!!
it works best on colourful backgrounds, not so good on black as it starts to disappear!!
It works thanks
hmmm that one didnt work for me, ill try the Osrix25 one..
EDIT: works great thanks!
Wow thanks! That was an easy fix and both of them work! Now the only problem is I can't decide which one I like the most lol
May we see a screenshot please?
