Hi everybody,
I searched the forums but haven't found anything on this topic: I know that styles are available to customize your whole phone.
But what about styles to customize your own application? (aka "themes")
I've found a good number of tutorials on how to create your own style, and it indeed seems quite easy. But what if you're not artistically inclined?
I am surprised that there isn't already a whole cottage industry catering to developers...or am I looking in all the wrong places?

Why homescreen shortcuts aren't seen is beyond me, however I have noticed that there are two shortcuts found on the homescreen already. Call History and Calender, pressumebly all these do is reference a location on the device.
So my question is, can we make it so we can add our own shortcuts, to link to another location or possibly an application?

I would donate 25 dollars or euros for anyone who can pull this off, I almost can't live without my tasks there
If you both are talking about ammending the 2 right and left shortcuts on TF3D Home tab then you should go search around.. Its possibel to change with many apps or via registry..

I've already managed to do this with an application called TouchFlo Detacher.
I'm referring to the two shortcut links placed underneath the clock or to the right of it when in landscape mode. You can't miss them.
I'm just wondering if it's possible to add or change them.
I found a way looking in many forums, they say you need to use a famous tool called ssmaho... try to look here on xda, where it's hosted. I downloaded it but I don't understand how to use it... so far no luck in linking pocket informant to calendar and home tabs. any help would be very appreciated!
Change yes, add too, probably not

This thread is very old however I don't like to create threads for questions which have been already asked:
I use a Jackos Hybrid ROM with WM6.1 + Sense 2.1 (fastest I've ever seen), but I miss at least 2-3 shortcuts to most popular programs on my homescreen. Is there a theme or a patch which couls allow me to put non-standard shortcuts directly on my HS? Independently on the history and calendar fields.
I've tried google, but there are tons of unnecessary information but I couldn't find anything helpful. Here, on xda, I've found information about some mods (like MaxManila) but none is reported to work with WM6.1. Besides these mods are heavy, and I don't need a comprehensive application but a small patch to have 3 icons on HS.
Thanks in advance guys (and girls of course)!
So, ive read that Microsoft was going to add some more user customization in the big update for WP7. I think there will be 2 seperate updates...one for the copy & paste feature...and then a bigger update shortly after. So I got to thinking....what if they gave us the option of choosing "glassy" looking live tiles...say something with 50% opacity and allowed us to set our own wallpapers along with those tiles instead of just a simple black or white background. I myself think that would be a really nice feature for customization to add. How many of you would actually like to see something like that added in???
I really love the Ladyboo Miui ROM (especially because it is dutch :-0 ). But i cannot get used to the radio icons (Antenna, Battery, Wifi) is it possibele to ask for the feature?
I have tried different Themes but then it changes to much of the layout.
Or is it possible to change only the icons , i have searched the phone, installed app for making, chancing icons but at no avail.

Settings->Manage Themes->at the bottom 'Customize'...there U can change single settings for theme layout.
Thanks. I saw the Customize and when you pull that up i can change perfect.
Hey folks,
I have been into this app which has a lot to do with calendar and dates.
I am still confused about the libraries available for it, I will be requiring the calendar to have following features:
- The calendar should change (by month) when I swipe UP or DOWN
- The boxes of month should have specific colors according to the events of that particular day, eg: red for urgent issues, green for vacation and so on
- The boxes should also have ICONS like weather updates for that particular date
- A LIST VIEW of the calendar will also be needed
If anyone has seen any which can accommodate these features, do let me know.
Cheers
Alex
Hey Alex,
for me, these seem more like programming issues, rather than library ones.
For the first one (The calendar should change (by month) when I swipe UP or DOWN) implementing a gesturedetector is the best way to go Imo.
The other three are simple coding issues, like setting backgrounds, drawables and implementing a listview.
As a tip, you should check out a library we made called "CalendarWrapper" (sorry, I can't yet post links, search for it on GitHub). Basically it's a wrapper around the CalendarProvider, so there's no need to mess around with cursors, everything can be done with object methods. It lacks a few features though.
I don't think there are any ready to use libraries with these specific features, so I'm afraid you will have to build it yourself. There are a few date picker / time picker dialogs floating around, or android-times-square from Square, but you'll have to look into extending it with the specific features like image overlay support for the weather/icon.
caldroid
Have a look at caldroid, it does not have all the functions you seek but is very customizable.
Since you are asking for too much in one library, you will have to do a lot of coding on top of any library that you choose.
thankx
Thankx guys, CalendarWrapper did give me something to look into but caldroid has almost done the job for me.
I have finished the bulk of the job with caldroid now it is printing images inside the dates and list view left.
I do know where to start for list view but printing icons inside boxes could be tricky
Will update you guys when I am done with the APP and put it on play store.
Cheers
Hi all,
I'm really new into Android dev, but I got the basics for doing basic things.
I've got a question about ListViews, specially for horizontal lists for the moment. Is it possible to give different styles to the following item and the passed item?
I've got an Horizontal list that shows 3 elements in the screen (1 in the middle, and 1 in each side half-viewed). The middle item should look with the image and text below (accomplished), meanwhile the two from the sides should have the image with opacity and without text (haves the same style as the middle item).
Is it possible to do that in Android? If it's, must be have some methods to be implemented in the getView()?
I would post an image of what I want, but can't for the moment.
Thanks in advance.
