Here is where I would like to have a thread full of links to a bunch of alternatives to Winmo programs (or skins) that follow the Windows Phone 7 Metro guidelines.
Skins
nickschot's WP7 Metro theme -- skins Windows Mobile itself to have the black/blue Metro look.
Shells
Host v1.5 -- standalone WP7 shell.
MSkip ProPlus WP7 -- wp7 skin for SPB Mobile Shell
Fireslave's WP7 Suite -- WP7 skin for Throttlelauncher
Other Compilations
Chrisch's WP7 VGA Suite -- xdaShutDown, ThumbCal, TCPMP, Showcase, Resco Explorer, S2U2, S2P, htcCalculator, G-Alarm, QILIN PhoneCanvas, and bootscreen.
Trekfan422991's WP7 skins for common programs -- iContact, iDialer, iAgenda, Throttle Explorer, XDAshutdown, and WP7 StopWatch.
This thread is mostly for my own benefit, so I don't have to go trolling Google with 'WP7 winmo themes' and 'Metro Style winmo6.5.x' and such to skin my phone, and decided I'd put this out there for all of you to look at.
As always, massive thanks to the developers of all these great programs, and reply with anything I missed!
Dont forget the TodayXLive interface!

privacy issue, sorry
There are various ways you could do it...personally the Wisbar Advance Desktop can do this easily and is my perference. RLtoday as well can do this. Either choice does not require programing knowledge...mostly xml.
PS...Touchwiz interface is much better.

Yes...pls create some HTC Diamond Skins for Samsung Omnia....
I am hoping that this can be a reality: let this be a place to post new or old Themes and Skins, and leave the discussion end for the original threads, some of which are listed below. This way, no one has to search through the nearly 4,800 posts in the 2.1 Collections Thread, for example, to find some ideas or files.
I have started below by combing through the last few pages of posts of the Collections Thread, and a couple of others. Due to the limitations of time and software (and likely, ability) the pictures that I intended to showcase these great themes and skins did not make it through.
Thank you to all of the creators and editors for these themes; I hope everyone can appreciate the time and energy they expend to create or edit these themes that the rest of us download and use within seconds.

Now why should you have a dabbler interface if you have a professional device?

I am just tired of lagging with window 6.1 and wanted to try something else different. I already tried this program, not enough functionalities. Thanks
Mate if you get that thing in your first post it will just make it even slower. Its basically a shell that sits on top of win mo. Imo its not worth it.
It is not a shell, it is just a crapload of different skinned programs. I guess it is a combination of wisbar or ifonz, s2u2, dialer skin, WMP skin, calculator skin, iContact, psshutxp + skin. Basically things you can download here for free, which are fun for 3 minutes and mess up your device if you want to uninstall them.
But hey be my guest and pay for it
Hi all,
on yrgo's forum, you can find first beta version of the yrgoManager - an application used to create your own skins, wallpapers and color themes in your PC, so you can make it comfortable.
Link: http://2daysoft.com/yrgo/forum/viewforum.php?f=19
EDIT: this application is used to change skins, etc. in yrgo only - windows mobile shell replacement (take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3623606)
Regards,
Luky
can i create wm6.5 skins??? tsk
yrgoManager is used to change skins in yrgo, not the whole WM.
I updated to the official T-mobile 6.5 rom yesterday and it's great and 6.5 without touchflo is pretty accessible. There are little things that I think should be optional such as the start menu bombarding your screen which can be kind of an inconvenience but other than that it's great and the default UI is actually tempting to use over touchflo.
Anyways, the theme that comes preloaded with the rom is quite frankly repulsive. It's too friendly and not sleek enough. Are there any touchflo 3d 2 themes built for WinMo 6.5?
Learn how to make some themes then...its not that big of a deal...
use SPB Mobile Shell,and incoming Infinity by Ageye.
Both Touchflo 3D and WM theme suck.
hi i got a question regarding using SPB Mobile Shell. I am on stock sprint and currently use one of the customized tf3d and system fonts that one of the members at ppcgeeks forum made. if i install SPB Mobile Shell on my tp2, will i still be able to use those fonts?
