The basis for this thread is pretty simple.
Let’s create a list of ideas that could possibly be turned into xperia panels.
I figured that since the xda forums are pretty much the first place you would go for to get info it would also be a good starting point to initialise ideas for panels.
Turboguard mentioned some already.

like a Youtube panel, facebook panel etc.

The YouTube panel for example could be the "YouTube DeskTop Version software" integrated into a xml panel with an ability to choose other popular streams.
My suggestion would be a panel that allows you to remotely control winamp or wmp through bluetooh. There are tons of applications out there that do the job already but it would be awesome to have an acctual dedicated panel for it with maybe 4 big buttons and some track information.
I used to use a program called ControlFreak on my symbian that pretty much turned my phone into a remote control.. I wouldn’t mind having the same type of feel for winmo.
Maybe there will be coders out there who might be interested in turning the top suggestions from this topic into actual panels.
So fire away with your suggestions guys!!! ))
1 A ps3 bluetooth remote panel.
2 A blank panel similar to G-desk on uiq where u can make your own desktop as you wish with as many pages, shortcuts etc as you want.
3 A panel similar to fish panel but more colourful with different creatures.
As has been mentioned on other forums a BBC iPlayer for us UK users would be cool - given that Apple iPhone has one I can't believe they still haven't got a streaming client for WinMo yet....
A panel which has a nicer interface for email (as opposed to the rather drab version under WinMo)....
I'll think of some more later
Ah - for those interested in such things (and I am not) social networking panels i.e. Facebook etc. would actually really push on the phone in terms of popularity and thus attract more developers to the Panels concept....

Yeah, i miss my old G-Desk after leaving UIQ for Xperia.
I also miss a way to reinstall the original panels. I have lost some of them, today panel and media panel, after trying out sbp mobile shell. You can not download them and i dont want to do a reset.
What about a coreplayer panel? Just as a shortcut of the prog, like the media panel, but for the coreplayer.. Or just an DivX panel dunno, but I think a more detailed multimedia panel would be useful.. But I think hard work tough:s greez, cad^^

I think there is a way, look in windows folder, there is some cab's there that could be something, worth trying...
A youtube/online video panel and a facebook panel would be GREAT!
And I really liked Rontysee idea about a blank one where u can do whatever u like =)

Good idea, but there are no cab for MediaExperiencePanel or SonyEricssonPanel.
I had to restore them by restore the registry. Lucky for me that i had a backup.
It is a bit strange that you can not get the original panels from SonyEricsson download.
from what i've been able to see from looking at the sonyE sdk
then it should not be too much trouble porting any pure win32 c++
program into a panel
with .net one may have to make a c++ win32 stub which launch the .net
program in a frame
So who is going to be the first one to make a customized panel thats not official? I bet its going to be one from Xda =)
How about an appointment panel with all your appointments categorized and updated?

Developer competition for X1
Hi all, I was pointed to this forum at inxperia.com because of this conversation about panels.
Thought you might like advance warning of a competition for windows mobile developers to build panels for the X1. Winner gets an X1 and their panels installed on the next batch of X1's.
I've posted more details on my blog. Hope you'll be interested
i wish as a panel, the TASKMANAGER DYNAMO. (the xperia panels are not comparable to a taskmanager with screenshot function.like dynomo... *G)
dynamo looks like xperia panels, but it takes actual screenshots of all opened applications, every time you switch the app.
it will integrate perfect to sony`s/htc`s (*G) UI design and will enhance it extremly.
thats, what in xperia`s panels is missing.
>"Panel Panel" if 9 panels aren't just enough
>Virtual pet panel
>I agree with the email panel
>Txt/MMS panel
>Panel with a "Cursor" (for optical trackpad)
>Instant Msging panel
>Windows Vista panel/shell (something like SPB)
looking at this site: http://xperiancers.com/2008/09/26/your-xperia-questions-answered/
To the right, there's a tag cloud could be a panel that links to apps, the more you use the app, the bigger/bolder the font.
AND the panel program must update there`s icons with actual screenshots of running apps.
(spezially the fish tank`s time!! and status of the fishes!)
Must Have 4 Free Spb Panel
here is a free cool panel: SPB panel 4 free!

the x1`s inbuild links aren`t working... :-(
There is the Sony Ericsson Panels 1 and 2 on the Xperia but I was wondering if it would be possible to copy the files or something to create the same panels again to essentially have 3 or 4 Sony Ericsson Panels on the Xperia, as they are the only panels I really use.
If someone can let me know how to do it that would be great!! Or even if there's a download somewhere to get more of those panels.
Cheers
I was wondering if there's any progress with porting the panels feature from the sony x1 into the htc touch diamond
I really liked that panels software and especially the fishes following your fingers...
there is a project porting x1 panels to touch HD. maybe when ists done, they will port it to other resolutions like touch diamond ones
i think modaco already was able to port panels to touch hd. due to the difference in resolutions it's not yet compatible to the diamond. i am interested in the panels as well. let me know if you find out anything more.
Would like to see the Xperia Panels ported to the Diamond too, particularly the Facebook one, though there is already another forum member working on a Facebook Application for Windows Mobile.
About the facebook panel..does it allow also facebook chat?
Hi all,
I have my X1 and it is totally standard - I only have the Mobile Shell Panel downloaded. I notice some people have R3A installed... How do I go about doing this?
Basically, I am hoping to get my X1 totally up-to-date
Thanks,
Amnesia
Use SEUS to update your X1. You can get SEUS from sonyericsson website..

Panels Tweaks Programs Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441439
Look at the sticky threads too for extra applications and panels etc.
Really need Generic panel of X1, Media panel of X1, Facebook panel, 3d fish panel and Fm radio panel to work well in my X2 WM 6.5.3!!!
If one has a link to download any of them but works well in WM 6.5.3, just put it...
None of the panels from the X1 will work with the X2, its different setup, etc. 3D fish is available from PlayNow as is facebook.
Media and FM radio are provided in SlideView.
Generic X1 panel is not available for X2 and if installed will not function.
Are 3d fish panel and Facebook panel in PlayNow arena work in Xperia X2 WM 6.5.3 (MR2)?
