Depends what you mean. By panel, do you mean screen? You can only have one wallpaper at a time. However, if you download CrazyHome (when you get your lovely new phone anyway ) you essentially get 3 home themes at the same time. You just swipe up for each theme. Each theme is customisable like the stock screen, but you can have different wallpapers for each 3.

Panel one: abstract back ground
Panel 2: grafitti background

There is no a mod for this as of now sorry mate...

hi. i first posted this idea on the PointUI forum.. so forgive me for the blasphemous screen.. anyway.. i jsut want to share this idea for those developers, willing to create a scrolling today screen launcher..
click thumbnail for the animated demo..
the idea is, to create a launcher that is customizable (custom icons - TGA or PNG for transparency), scrollable, and FUN.. hehe..
anyway.. it's a simple horizontal swipe and scroll.. but the added feature of the - what i call - default pane..
the default pane should be a set of five shortcut icons (user configurable) that can be easily accessed from anywhere in the horizontal list.. how? double tap the space above the icons..
for example, you have a 16 icon horizontal list, if you are in the end of the list, and you have to go back to your default pane, just double tap the space above the icons, and the list will scroll back to your default pane..
also, there should be an option for memory or default..
the memory option remembers the last position of your launcher and remains where it is even after you launched a program or switched to another window..
the default view scrolls the list back to the default pane after launching a program or every time the today screen becomes active..
this idea could not just be a today screen plugin.. it can also be a launcher that can be called via screen gesture (FtouchSL/FtouchFLO).. the difference with this launcher, is if implemented, would just be an over-window rather than a full screen launcher.. it may also be a task switcher.. depends on the developers choice..
here's a quick demo..
[/i]click on the thumbnail for the animated demo..[/i]
once again, this is just an IDEA.... for someone else with the programming prowess..
i'm just good with photoshop and ideas. but binaries and hexadecimals kill me..
Good idea..i hope some one develops it...u can try Throttle launcher
Where did you find the picture?
Have you done it by yourself?
look into ultimatlaunch also... very similar to what you are wanting
with customize icons and wallpaper... wold be good.. and a feeds infos too on the clock and events apperance
the upper part of the picture/animation is the PointUI Home interface.. no credit for me with that..
the bottom part however is mostly my creation.. (the icons used were modified from bundled stardock icons for windowsXp)
i created the bottom part and the application launcher ribbon as an idea suggestion for the developers of PointUI..
a bit inspired by the leaked wm7 pix and the iphone springboard hacks they created over at cre.ations.net
i don't really like PointUI that much (YET, but i'm getting there), so i also suggest the idea as a native Today Screen plugin.. and an all around launcher.. a minimalist approach, compared to the touchFLO cube and it's encarnations..
i don't like ultimate launcher that much.. i'm not into Tabbed launchers.. too much space consumed..
throttle launcher looks cluttered at the moment.. too much things are rendered on screen at the same time.. it takes up much time loading and, again, screen real estate.. i'm still eyeing for its future improvements though.. especially if it will be able to get customized, as in, to be able to select the features that will be loaded, and will not..
it's not likely that all people want to see a big clock, a bunch of contact pictures, all of the shortcuts, and running programs cramped in their screen at the same time..
Would be awesome...good idea buddy.

they have a single line launcher now, it the same thing you ar requesting. I'm also keeping an eye on them i think the single line can be a nice addon to every rom. (but it has to be easy customiseble)
If you combine Ultimate Launcher with some clever today screen plugins, especially with rltoday, you can do at least the first part with customization only.
if only the creator wants to make pointui for VGA sigh..
That concept has been done here
i tried v2r and though it was not that good....this idea is awesome though i would love to see it developed
I like the concept.... I'll try to achieve something similar with my app (ThrottleLauncher) and report back with what can be done . Some questions:
Any way of getting the art work used on your screen shots?
What are the left and right arrows on the clock for?
Thanks for that cool concept!

This is what I've so far. I know the look is not the same but without the background's it's the closer I can make it for the today plugin. For the "poping up" app, the same theme can be used without the clocks on throttle main app. A little modification on the app will be needed to show the prevous window as background.

The today plugin ribbon is really eassy to achieve with my app ;-). I've made a simple theme for you. Just uncompress the zip file into your instalation dir of ThrottleLauncher (see my signature).
After that, go to ThrottleConfig app (it must be on your programs menu) and set plugin height to 38 (or higher if you customize the icons to be bigger), then sellect Ribbon on the combo box and click "Set Today's" button. Then on the actions menu (left softkey) select Edit AppDB, add as much app's as you wish (needed fields are title, name and exec, only select an icon if you wan't to override the default of the app). Select the app's you want to be on the Used list. After all that add throttletoday plugin to your today screen.
If you wan't to make some playing with the setup you can take a look at this tutorials
http://www.throttlelauncher.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=8
You can for example eassily set the ribbon to be 2 rowed, add a clock, add contact photodial ribbon, etc etc .
edit: removed atachment as it contained an error. Look some post's below for the correct one..

Sorry... my fault... there was an error on the zip. Setup xml must be inside a folder called Ribbon on the setups folder and not directly inside it. Here you have an update of the simple ribbon setup and the one of the screenshots above (this last will require a little work still but I upload it so you can test it ).

The background is probably not included in the ones that don't work, or included as a seperate image that you have to apply manually in the today screen settings page.
There are some themes at SE page too.
However I have a feeling you mix THEME with the BACKGROUND of a Today screen, which you can apply by yourself.

do a search for wvgathemehelper - that will make the themes work properly ...
Images
It would be nice if we all posted here the images we use as wallpapers. The resolution should be 800x800.
Hi all, the existing apps softwarez themes for wad2 mobile shell, are all standalone apps including ifonz. i will like to request for a iphone like plugin,when we can set as SecondToday plug in. So we can have the fun for switching btw iphone and touchflo 3d by one click.
cLaunch works well. I have all of the menu / frame etc off so it just looks like icons on a windows desktop. no reason u couldnt play with the icons and background to make it look iphonish. Only downside is it only takes low res icons
Hi,why not just buy an iPhone?

its not abt buying iphone, it is to show iphone users, we have 2 interface dat can be switched by juz pressing a button. its shows the versatility of Window mobile device. Just wanna pissed those holding iphone
actually homescreen ++ can be used, we just need someone who can create an iphone themes for homescreen ++
Second Today
Use Second Today! it lets you have two today screens and you can assign it o any button.
Since there has been so many new ROM and UI releases for the X1 I thought I'd restart a thread where each user can show off a screenshot of their homescreen set up.
Hopefully it will get people asking 'oooh that's nice how did you do that?'
So Here's mine to start with:
I'm Using Jack's ROM 3.3. I've removed the curtains top and bottom and personalised it.
I took a random Noir-ish background and colourised it blue. (To match the Blue SE start logo)
All my highlights are blue too, and I added the X Icons pack.
Finally I installed the analogue and digital clock.
Please post your setups (But don't over post just because you've changed the background or added a new 3D scene ;-)
Very nice!
how can u take a screenshot of your homescreen??

Hey all, been searching for day's now to no avail. I have changed from the at&t wallpaper to one of the stock available wallpaper that came with the phone "Smoke" , but it seems more than just a wallpaper because not only does the wallpaper change it changes the slider, clock, and all icons on the touch flow bar on the home (today screen) which I like much. The problem is that as soon as I slide away from the home (today screen) postion It reverts back to the at&t wallpaper and theme on all other screens and tab. The Smoke theme stays for a half second then it seems that it is over ridden by the at&t theme. Is there a way to make the "Smoke" theme stay for all screen, tabs and fully turn off the at&t theme with possibly a reg edit? The "Smoke" theme seems to be there but over ridden.
TIA
HD WALL
You need to search the HD Wall thread. It explaines exactly what you need to do in the first couple of posts. It is a very long continuous thread with tons of custom wallpapers. Just do a little reading and you will find it in there.
Hey thanks thebigrhinoone for a speedy reply. Yup I've been over to the HD WALL thread looking this, but I took another look and it looks like it's not going to be a simple regedit. Also I've heard that the actual quality (how the screens look) isn't that great with HDWALL. Well thanks, I will educate myself to the HDWALL app and see what I come up with. Thanks
