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

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.

[19.09.08] [Skin] S2U2 TouchFlo 2D Skin

i finished a S2U2 Manilla Touchflo 2D Skin.
i think it matches very good with Manilla 2D. I have now permission from htctoucher, because his wm7 skin is the base. The graphics are from robertus3d's original manilla files.
there are two versions. one for people with callid active and one without callid active. the difference is that the clock frame is a bit larger with callid.
19.09.08: UDATE2: For the Diamond clock you have to use gundalbert`s clockH folder (You can get his theme here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2373177&postcount=201 ).
An adapted wallpaper for Diamond clock is attached.
19.09.08: UPDATE: New zip files for analog clock.
Changes from the last build *( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2643996#post2643996 ) :
- htctouchers permission (THX!)
- unknown call person vectorized
- Blue S2U2 Volume Meter
- complete gfx.zip
you`ll have to overwrite the files in the S2U2 gfx folder.

Sorry, corrected the link to prev. post. But what`s fubar?? I tested the post in 3 browser and they all show the screenshots correct!?

Very nice start!
A suggestion:
The slider should be changed into a more arrow-like shape.

Brilliant! I don't want no clunky iPhone interface no more
Thanks for all your work.

Thanks i like it i use it the last few day and all is good

wow wow

Very nice job
I Like it alot. Very neat & far from being boring like the original or overdone like some of the others or the one I did myself, which got on my nerves.
One point though... on my MDA vario iii/tytn ii the slide button sits a little lower than its supposed. It does'nt sit snuggly in the slide box. Any ideas on why or how to rectify?
*update* Does anyone at all know how to fix this little hiccup???

It's an acronym. It means "F***** up beyond all recognition". I think he was just trying to say the links were bad.

Hooded_Villian: Can you post a screenshot of what it looks like?
Keland44: All the files are included in the zip. Are you sure you have overwritten the entire gfx folder (and subfolders including clock)?
monamibouli: could you share your entire gfx folder? Then i`ll see what i can do.. Since i don`t have a VGA device..
blazingwolf thanks for description

I can't see the pics either, just hotlink errors....

changed the image-service... hope the screenshots work now... can anyone suggest a good image hoster, that supports hotlinking?

Thanks! I'm using your wallpaper.jpg and unknown.png

[Request] Picture plugin for Titanium (with folder choice)

I know it already exists one, but its not customizable in what folder to show.
My ideia is to mix some of the already available plugins out there.
The Favorite People plugin already has the show picture part done.
And the System and Weather plugins use mortcript for some extra tweaking.
{
"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 was thinking of a simple softkey button that allows the user to choose a folder (with a browse layout).
And a simple mortscript code to list all the available images on that folder, saving it to a text file database or so.
The plugin would have 3 pages (previous, current and next image). Then, as you scroll left or right, the mortscript would change the name of the images on the plugin pages to make a circular order (or random, if that extra setting existed).
The size of the pictures would be much bigger than the current one, like the plugin changes that theDaniel (used here as an example) and KerMiT80 already made. The picture date of creaton would be a nice detail, as shown in the example, but that would probably give much more work than necessary, so it would probably not appear.
Instead, the plugin could show the full count of the images inside that folder, and what number is showing at the moment.
The condensed view could show a text with a picture icon saying "x pictures in folder Y", being X the total number of pictures inside and Y the folder name or path.
And, of course, if you click on the picture it would pop-up the "picture viewer" showing that image.
This would be pretty easy for me to do in flash, but outside flash, not so much...
So, does anyone want to do this? I can help on the CPR editing, some of the registry code and do the dinamyc picture frame with a small shadow...

Someone is already making such plugin, rpereira is designing a slideshow picture plugin with a specified folder.

Thats great news, where did you read that?

hi twolf,need your help
Hi twolf,glad to see you online again.
er,could you please tell me that which rom are you using?I really want to flash my touch,however,t don,t know which rom is better.

I went to see his Analog plugin thread, wow, its so much better than the original idea now.
I dont like analog clocks so never installed his plugin before, now that I did I just wanna change it:
The grey area would be extras, in case someone lese would want, I wouldnt use it.

Hi twolf,
It's the thread below where we were discussing the picture slideshow.
rpereira posted a video example of what was possible too.
I personally can't wait for this to be available.

TouchFlo Skin for Pocket Player

I decided to update wired69's vga touchflo skin for wvga devices. It's a skin for Conduits Pocket Player
Simply tap the center of the screen to switch between the various views:
Standard View >> Large Spectrum Analyser View >> Album Art View
I am too lazy to make my own screenshots so here are the vga ones to get a preview of what it looks like:
Standard WVGA Version
{
"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"
}
WVGA Playlist Enabled Version
]
WVGA Landscape Version
NOTE: Recommended Vis settings: Enable Small Spectrum Analyser
The musical note icon on the bottom left will call up the 'Now Playing' screen whilst the settings (cog) icon will toggle the Equaliser on or off.
I plan on tweaking it further but thought I would share it for now so please leave feedback.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: Extract the PSZ file and copy it to where you have installed Pocket Player (e.g. "<storage>\Program Files\Pocket Player" or "<storage>\Program Files\Conduits\Pocket Player" if using an older version).

Post #1 updated with new version

Some small mistakes corrected. Attachment updated accordingly

Thanks for this. Can you modify this for 6.5.x? Screen shot of your skin on 6.5.3 attached.

Can you upload/send me a screenshot with the correct dimensions? I am still running 6.5 (without the .X) and need to know the exact number of pixels to adjust.

Umm, that is a un-modified screenshot taken with Shake and Save.

I believe the uploader modifies picture sizes automatically. The picture from the site downloads as 365x608 pixels but it should be 480x800. The best method is to upload to a picture image site and the link directly to the picture's url

Would this be fine?

I fixed the problem for win 6.5.x it's very simple you just have to make the background some pixel longer no need to edit script.txt
Oh and you can switch from playlist to album art just by taping in the top right corner of the player(where the small album art is). I have turned off small visualization and all visualisations and put a button there instead in my personal version of this skin.(Not the one I uploaded) Anyway great work it's years that I use pocket player with very ugly skins.

^^Thanks. Works fine here, except it defaults to the default skin when in landscape. Np that, though. Thanks again!

pocket player uses a different skin for landscape so you have to select the one you prefer by accessing options in landscape mode. The landscape version of this skin is not working for me anyway.

I can't believe it's taken me THIS long to find this thread! Awesome! Thank you so much!
A question, though: is there any way to make a shortcut to the Lyrics anywhere? From the main screen?
I've tried contacting Conduits for help with this, but no response

This is the best skin ever!!! I agree with above...perhaps the EQ button could become lyrics? It's rare to want to switch EQ on and off...

great skin, looking for something like this since a long time, i was stuck with a qvga one since my kaiser days
again, great work, and thanks

Landscape Version fixed
