Can anyone help, I hate the default today screens you get as default (o2 & WM5). I want to have my own picture but those horrible blue lines always remain.
Does anyone know who to get rid of them?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Hiya Mate,
The way you can alter your home screen apperance,you can add a new wm5 theme
these are downloadable of loads of sites
some you pay for some are free,
for universal use ones that are vga
put wm5 vga themes in google to start off
most heavilyed modifed screens use wisbar
this is down loadable from lakeridgesoftware
its comes in two parts
wisbar advance 2
which themes the operating system (like you ca on xp)
wisbar desktop
which alters the mainscreen wallpaper and background
they look great,but can slow and stall your system
I find wisbar is ok but the desktop part is the problamatic part
I use ilauncher for the mainscreen and launcher
you can also get c launch which is free but limited
I'd make one recomedation above all others
phonealarm pocketmax
its makes all the stuff you need to run at hand and gives proflies easily at hand
any more info you need ask if I know it ill help but I'm a newbie myself and not techy at all
p.s
btw you wundt happen to use that same user name on a bodybuilding site MT do ya mate?

I used Tweaks2k2, (google it and you'll find it) one of the options is changing the today line colours, the click and hold dots etc....

i dnt know if its only me but for some reason i always revert back to my original windows mobile today screen after i have tried some new ones. like they say the original is always the best.
anyone else like me out there?
Not yet, but I must confess I've been using my Magician and Hermes just for three years now. So maybe the moment I switch back to the origanal T-Mobile theme will come anywhere in the future LOL.
Now using a customised Ultimate Launch setup from Rumball. And have used many themes before like Throttle Launcher, Wisbar Advance, HTC Home.
It's all about being happy, isn't?
Just my 2C.
well, everytime installing a theme or add-on or plugin, i always return the standard HTC Home...for me it is the best, because i get attuned on the standard screen...

I understand you very well and i think what may be behind that backward to original theme.
Ofcourse there are many reasons like:
Themes design in a way that tiered our eyes
Themes with customization limits
Themes that eat a lot of memory
Themes that crash our pda's
etc etc etc
In my case i think i reach to a Software that a use for sometime now and and don't think i will change or reverse to another one.
I use the last WAD2 software and none of the reasons that i mention happens with this software.
I love it
I really don't under the attraction of some of the themes that many people use - 97 tiny icons on the front page.
I use a combination of
* photo contacts
* favourites
* calender
* Inbox
in the day and switch over to "samsung today" in the evening when I am out and about or in the pub.
I'm using Spb Mobile Shell, and some how I always come back the the 1.2.1 default theme. A lot of fancy themes out there. But the original one is crisp, clean and functional. Just the way I like it.
and i thought it was just me that felt this way...
Instaled SPB Mobile shell - download greatball's diamond theme
Uninstalll
Install
Uninstall
Install and have now still 2 months
Diamond original theme
- change
- back to my old
-diamond theme
- old with black top (like diamond)
- old with normal top, bottom black like original
- old with top like diamond, start menu like diamond....
- old like this up + green ehm.... choose?
- original diamond with my wallpaper :-D
This my history
I've used rlToday for a long time with a simple analog clock with sms email and missed call indicators only. I love using it because it is lite on memory and I can't accidently click anything on the screen. But as of late I was using HTC Home for the weather and music portion. As for the really nice themes that people make they only last at best a week with me then I go back. I guess they are just too much for my simple mind lol.
I have not went back to the original theme once changed. But, I change themes to get a newer & different home screen.
I change my device almost every week, at least ever since I joined xda! Every week there is a new theme, or a new launcher. Right now I am just waiting for WAD2 to be complete, and I'll probably create my theme, then stick with it for hopefully a while. I think I spend more time changing items on my Touch, then I do actually use it !
Not to mention, I have had a new ROM almost every few days since I starting building.
I've tried a lot of plugins. I started with the HTC Home Customizer. WAD and WA2 followed. Tried a lot of things with Ultimatelaunch and i'm using Throttlelauncher right now.
All previous configurations evolved to the theme i use right now. I download a lot of themes for different plugins and get new ideas every time to update my current theme.
I'm definitely not going back to the original HTC plugin. It's good, but there are a lot of things i don't use or are better of mapped under a hardware button. Throttlelauncher with plugins, iContact, Diamond Dialer and Diamond Comm Manager is my favorite combination at the moment.
That's for now... don't know what's happening tomorrow.
i switch themes and apps if not daily then every other day..
im addicted!
I'm the same way.

heheeh, it is amazing how look a like we are !!!!
The "out of the box" theme is all but useless to me, a Touch owner. The cube serves no useful function other than the quick dialer, as none of the other programs it launches are useful.
I tried a lot of themes and plugins over the months, but none of them were really useful to me. In the end I created this one, which is a combination of rlToday and UltimateLaunch. Having spent the time to create my own icons, figure out how to make buttons that adjust flight mode and mute/vibrate, I can't imagine I'll ever use another theme than this.
With a little bit of patience, I've managed to create a theme that makes the Start menu and the stylus completely irrelevant, and using my device much more efficient. I still tweak it from time to time, and I'm still hopeful of learning how to make graphics change as battery charge changes, but that's not something that affects productivity, so it's not a priority for me.
I've found "theme nirvana"

Everytime I install those themes, I go back to the stock themes in less than a week
i love the SE panel screen. . it is definately better than the boring today.
however there are things that i dont like...
i tot SPB mobile shell can change things.. but overall i am still stuck with what the developer wants me to have...
how do i really CHANGE the today screen to my wishes?
does today plug ins have to do with it? what are today plug ins?
im confused..
thanks
There are a lot of plugins that you can add or remove. Go to start -> settings -> Today -> items and you can add or remove what you want. You can change the background by using the pictures and video program and set as background.
There are also a lot of other posts that can show you how to "replace" the Today screen as well if you want another default (like touchflo) or programs like xperia tweak will allow you to launch a different panel as default.
Check out the "sticky" posts on the forum.
mind you the today stuff is only present in the std wm "panel"
ok.. does this mean i can make my own customised version of the SE PANEL ??
do you have a good site for LEGAL free today plug ins?
Has anyone managed to tweak some coding to create an application that allows the Facebook panel to be loaded from the Programs menu opposed to using the panels....(Like Pubba's Panel Installer for MXE and Radio)
If Pubba can port to panels as applications,
And if TF3D can be run as a panel rather than a 'Today' option....
Surely it must be possible? Or does the fact it use internet and such make it a bit complicated?
Anyone?
I would try and edit the Pubba launcher panels, but I have absolutely no coding experience...
that would be nice
It would, I like the panels, the problem is you can't really multitask with them, the idea that you can change your today screen is awesome but I'd rather have Facebook as an application that can be launched rather than change my entire screen.
As I said earlier, if pubba can launch the media panels, is it possible to edit his code to launch the Facebook panel instead? I have no idea how to code or even which program was used to code this...
Surely, it can't be such a big job?
Come on, can I atleast get a decent reply?

Hey peeps,
I've been using hd2 for around 2months now and I love it. im still using the uk tmobile 1.72 stock version and im pretty content with it tbh
i love to customise, tweak and experiment there are endless possibilities thanks to the devs/chefs on this forum who will keep this dying breed of a device going for as long as possible.
forgive me for my stupid question but in regards with the windows mobile part of the device which is very ugly and boring are there any themes for a different layout? maybe just change the background colour ? or do i need to install a non stock ROM? im really happy with sense & touchflo3d which i think is fantastic
secondly i didnt want to ask this but im starting to pull my hair out, can anyone tell me how i go about changing the 'notes' program icon?? simply because i do not know where the program is located on the device? i can select it as a quicklink thats about it also im using jwmd icon changer
if you get a second to answer i appreciate it
go to settings -menu -all settings -today and choose a theme from the list.........
for your icon notes should be under office in jwmd......
hope that helps ......
