So here I am with my second customization thread.
After making my minimal dialer skin click I also found that the Touch Diamond interface for ThrottleLauncher was a bit too dark and playful for me.
So I decided to make a modification to make it all a bit lighter and more stylish. And something like 12 hours later, here I am!
Changed almost all graphics and a lot of settings to make it and app that suits me.

Updated version of the weather version, no more error on load-up! thanks to APBilbo! thank you ^^
I put a lot of effort in making these kind of things, a little donation would make my day!

Credits go to APBilpo for his great app and my template! And for the Weather tab my credits go to alladdin for writing the mortscript.
ahh. very nice. very black. to my liking.
great job!
wow looks great!!!keep it up
Please read my questions (at least the first one) need you guys to help me with this.
Looks great so far, can't really come up with 4 letter words, but how about a seperate theme with gray pictures?

Yeah that was my idea too, just use a theme for WM with my background, the problem is that I dont know how to add my own picture to a .tsk
privacy issue, sorry

maybe you can use 'CALL' instead of people? it doesn't really cut it.. but it's ussually the next thing your doing after pressing that button, right.
(ik hoop dat je er ook gemiste sms / mail in zet )

Uhm, Call is a good idea, now only one for settings (damn, why is that so hard).
Sms wont do it, it's mail and text because I want to keep all icons with four letters.

Preview:
In my opnion that looks a lot better! ^.^
Anyway, I am stuck on a few things and I was hoping one of you could help me out.
HELP ME OVER HERE! xD
1. More of a simple question to brainstorm about.
There is a tab Contacts and a tab Settings, how do I have to make a 4 letter icon out of this? Contacts is now PEPL (people) and settings is now CONF (configuration). I don't like them very much so please help me come up with another one.
2. I don't want the background to be black and there are two options to achieve this.
First of all I could make a tsk that would have the my own background. The problem with this is that if I make one in ThemegenCE, it would go from flat black bars to the glossy grey ones.
Secondly, someone could explain me how to modify the config.xml from throttle launcher so it would load it up with the theme and cover up the original background. The problem with this solution is that I don't know wich line to add. (the parameter=texture gave me problems because it said the skin.xml was invalid?) I think the tsk option is the best so that people could still use their own backgrounds.
Anyway, atm I am working on replacing all icons wich is 40% done or so.

1. CNFG? PEEP? PPLE? hmmm, i see where the problem is...this is kind of hard. CONF sound really good.
Could you use icons instead of text maybe?

I mean change the 4 letter words to little grey silhouettes or simple images.
As for implementing your background in a .tsk, you need a theme editor program... I used one before but can't think of what its called. Or you could just supply us with the jpg and we can set it as our wallpaper. BTW This looks really sweet, about how long untill it's done?
Ok, I think I will release the wall seperate. Unless someone comes with a solution.
I wont change the text to icons because this just looks stylish
The icons for the settings are complete. Some other things to do but first I need to get me some sleep. Tomorrow I think I will finish it.
Good night.
ADDY or ADDR for contacts.
setting is also a nest of eggs (old usage) but EGGS might confuse too much.
I like simple CONF

What does ADDY stand for? never heard of it. Anyway I think CALL and CONF are ok for now. Maybe I'll have a dream with inspiration.
Good night.
just release a background and people can use the allblack tsk floating around and apply the picture you provide as a background through pics and video with 0% transparency, works fine
privacy issue, sorry
PREF would also do it. Though I'm used to CONF by now and realy like it. I hope I'm done with skinning in about an hour and then only alingment etc.
Looks awesome!!! . Really nice work, I look forward testing it . About your questions:
1) For people.... may be something like "PALS"? And for settings...."TUNE"... Anyway I think that CONF is just right .
2) As I see you have done lot of working with the setup I suppose you already know the tutorial. It's true that it's a little bit unupdated.... So, here's how everything is organiced:
- 1rst layer: the background of the today screen back. Will be shown only if the transparency is set to true on the skins.
- 2nd layer: rowbackimage (this one is not documented...). Here you have an example:
Code:
<param name="rowbackimage" value="rowback.png"/>
What it will do is wrap the image to the row size behind it. This image can be a transparent png to show the 1rst layer.
Hope this helps!! If you still have doubts, let me know!!
- 3rd layer: icons .

Ok thanks al lot!
I managed to get a different BG in the programs tab, by editing the skin.xml in skins/programs. But what if I want to add a BG to e.g. the HOME tab? The settings for the home tab are all in the config.xml and when I add
Code:
<param name="rowbackimage" value="rowback.png"/>
to it, it wont load it up. Is this because the home tab is cut up into different rows?
If you could explain me how to add a ackground into the main config.xml file I would appreciate that alot.
Hi!
I think many flash developers might be interested in this little tutorial:
To use the flash you only need to have installed ThrottleLauncher (see my signature) and flash player on your device. with this you will be able to include almost any flash movie on your today screen!!
For the test setup (that's attached) I've used TWolf flash located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1686755&postcount=5
How to include Flash inside throttle setups
You can include a flash on a row place inside any throttle launcher setup by using this code inside a page tag:
<throttleplugin name="Reloj" path="#$THROTTLE#\Plugins\Flash\FlashPlugin.dll" height="200" class="FlashPlugin.FlashThrottlePlugin">
<param name="movie" value="#$THROTTLE#/Setups/TwolfHomus/Homus.swf"/>
<param name="backgroundpath" value="#$THROTTLE#\Setups\TwolfHomus\fundo.jpg"/>
<param name="width" value="240"/>
</throttleplugin>
Note that:
- You can use flashvars param to pass the flash some info.
- By using the special param backgroundpath throttle will automatically save the background to the target file in jpg format.
- By using the width param you warrant the aspect ratio of the flash.
- The height and width will be automatically x2 in VGA devices.
Here you have a sample of a setup containing only a flash (no other things, just flash).
To install it:
- just uncompress the zip file on your ThrottleLauncher\Setups folder
-go to ThrottleConfig (startmenu > programs> ThrottleConfig) and select TwolfHomus on the combo box.
- Click on reload plugin.
To see a sample of including the plugin inside throttle check the config.xml file. And if you want to include any other just open that xml file and change the height values accordingly.
It's really simple!!
Hmmm...
Just to clear things up a little bit...
the swf inside has nothing to do with the tempus flash, it was just renamed that way so that it could be easily reused.
The myconfig.txt inside is there by mistake, it can be deleted. It was there problably just to show that the variables can be inside a txt or xml file.
The latest version of that swf file (with the calculator and drawing pad v2) can be tested or downloaded here:
http://www.zshare.net/flash/16502361b705848b/
As for developers out there, I'd advice to export things in flash 7, its a little slower but less buggier on windows mobile devices.
Dont do many animations or transparencies, the less the better for 200mhz devices.
Also carefull with images inside flash, this is for VGA devices too.

can you make a flash plugin that is similar with incredimail???
i mean when you have sms or mail then a notifier will apear.
sorry about my english.
vbeli, if APBilbo creates new FTCommands to handle the new SMS and SMS text, it is possible...
But dont expect a hole new way to see all your SMS, just the latest one.
Another example, a non-text flash clock:
Test it here: http://www.zshare.net/flash/166407995074428b/
You can set it to 12/24 hours by pressing the first digit or move it around by draggin any of the others.
The sourcecode is in the zip.
---edit---
The 3D clock had a bug in the 12-hour format, the second zip is the correct FLA.

Cool . Here you have it as an standalone ThrottleLauncher Setup .
For the FTCommands thing I plan to implement a way of reading any Registry entry so you will be able to get any info you want.... Also launching Message2Reg utility you will be able to get the messages info.
yeahh it looks nice ... what about full skins/themes ?? i think there are many amazing things to do with it ... yeah...futurephone 2.0

When I'm done implementing FTCommands for flash (only one supported now is Launch) it will be possible to design a full phone interface in flash .
I'm not thinking of a full theme yet because there are a lot of FTCommands that still need to be created by APBilbo, and that has to be made with time and with his pacience...
Right now the only one created (and a great one it is) is LAUNCH.
With it you can launch any aplication, thats how the current flash contact list makes the call.
There should be needed, FTCommands for example:
- Battery %
- Signal %
- Operator name
- Device free/full space
- Device free/full memory
- SD Card free/full space
- New SMS/MMS/email
- Text and sender name from that new sms
- New Call warning
- Lost call counter
- Contact list reading (name/picture/1st cellphone number)
- start menu reading
- Save to file (to save the settings)
With these you can start thinking of creating a nice theme. Then you'll have the problem of the battery drain, so you'll need to be both minimal on the animations and rich on details.
So for now i'll just keep posting some stand-alone "widgets" that can be easilly changed and put together for a future theme.
Analog clock:
Test here: http://www.zshare.net/flash/16664713385fbe1e/
Source included in the zip.
To drag press the right area of the clock, to change colours press the left area of the clock.
Next I'll make a test for a future 'NEW SMS' reader, much like the one in Diamond.

Sorry, APBilbo... hadnt seen your answer yet when I posted...

SMS reader:
Sorcecode and files in the zip.
Font CygnetRound not included.
You can drag up and down the letter to read and click the bottom link to open the inbox (link not impremented).
Now all it need is FTCommands...
And another one...
Today image viewer:
This one isnt very usable, that is, i prefer the htc image viewer and this is in no way trying to compete with that, its just a nice way to (much like the diamond) have images scrolling on your today.
Press top/bottom images to scroll, or press up/down on your keypad.
In the future its supose to have some sort of magical FTCommand that reads the content of a pre-selected folder and lists the image names onto the flash as variables.
Love the SMS reader awsome job Twolf, will you have this for email as well?
APBilbo.. Twolf got these flas themes rokn, hopefully you can get this one down packed, loving the fellowship.
Thanks, well, the email is just a bigger sms with a subject and no picture, and the MMS is jus ta bigger picture with less text, lol...
it's all doable, even the end of the letter can be adjusted according to the size of the text.

Create your own Screen Savers & Locks in 10 mins- Easy Tutorial ( see last post).
[ I have repackaged the files so they are smaller and run faster and can be opended and modified on your Pc, sorry for the earlier beta versions if you could not edit them ]
Here are some 3D screen savers I have created to show off the fabulous screen and colours of our X1's.
View attachment 138471,View attachment 138472
They are standalone files, need no installation, just extract from zip, copy anywhere to your phone and click, then click the Home Icon to exit the program.
If you have Pocket Plus 4 or other launcher, place a shortcut on your desktop and tap.
These are really easy to create, using Powerpoint, and will run on your PC as well, dual purpose, multiplatform, (credit to Microsoft)
I have left the files unlocked, so you can open them on your PC and modify to your hearts content. I will upload some more soon.

Its ridiculously slow on the X1, but if Microsoft incorporates Hardware 3D accelaration into WM 6.5 for use in apps like Powerpoint, like they have on the PC, then we could soon look forward to spectacular shows like this.
Take a look at this little beauty

Again another tap and go screensaver, but to turn it off this time you have to tap the black ball !
Here is version 3, I added a little rotation and bounce to the balls to make them more realistic, but it does affect frame rate. You can open this on your PC and resize the balls and bounce them around wherever you want, and as fast as you like.

X1 is an already power hungry device, I have to charge it everynight; so TBH won't these kind of apps are overkill? they're surely bring more stress to the system and thus more power consumption.
Its only Powerpoint - but I love it !
to each his own however perhaps you can -if you don't mind to- (and I mean Mark A C) try to make those works with apps like S2U2; I'm sure a lot of people will be happy with that.

I have thought of it, I think we need permission from Senior XDA Developers to modify there S2U2 Lock which I use.
Or does anyone know of a little program that can run a file after a set time of system inactivity, Im sure iv seen one somewhere.
You have to be a bit faster with this one, and only one of the balls exits the screen saver, you can add sound effects to wrong clicks, but it bloats the file, something for the finished version maybe.
( Also I am mindful of the data limits for posts on this site, and I am grateful to XDA Developers for the great service this site provides. )

useless for me, but nice
Updated settings
I have found these settings work well with my X1, to make animations in powerpoint, fast and smooth. There is no way of benchmarking powerpoint, so you must use your eyes and judgement.

Fun mini game, and if you manage to score a goal you'll get a great reward, guranteed to a put a smile on your face on a cold wet winter afternoon, especially if your a fan of British Television.
Instructions - Becuase powerpoint runs to landscape by default, before you run this, run Powerpoint : Menu > Set up show and set orientation to portrait, exit powerpoint then click the file.
Or just run the file, and change orientation within the powerpoint menu.
Then tap the ball ( accuracy is rewarded )
Responds best to gentle taps.
Im toying with incorporating something like this into an alarm program, similar to G Alarm where you have to complete fun rewarding tasks to turn your alarm off. I hope S2U2 Lock goes down this road.
Anyone from S2U2 want to collaborate ?

Its a lock and a screen saver for those who dont want to waste battery on a lit up display, and prevent screen burn.
Hmm, maybe I just dont feel the 'vibe' but whats the deal with the Powerpoint presentations?
You do know our xperia fully supports OpenGL-ES ? If you insist on 'screensavers', i suggest take a look at developing applications in C#/++ (for example).
Everyone has powerpoint on there X1,the Slock program which is simple and very effective, took me all of 10 mins to do, and look at the file size 60kb, its tiny.
Plus everyone can download SLock, open it on there pc, Change the background etc and make it there own.
Powerpoint has allot going for it on the X1, programs are customisable even for beginners.
Its only powerpoint but I love it !

iPhoneToday - iPhone conversion the easy way - Simple guide by Indiacam
Probably the most easiest Reference Manual to convert your WMDevice into iPhone.
Thanks to MiToNiOeS for this cool application (Click for his original post here).
Features
1) Easy to install
2) No need to do manual editing in any setup file like icons.xml and settings.xml . Its all ready to use and are in right place.
3) Takes very small amount of memory, say less than 100kb (65+kb as per developer) and so ideal to install on device with less memory, example Atom Life.
4) Consumes very low battery power or let us say almost nothing as this is just another today plugin with just normal shortcuts, hence you get more battery time.
5) Perfectly works in landscape mode too with no error.
6) Works and tested ok on WQVGA, QVGA, VGA, etc..

7) OPTIONAL: Now you can install "PureBlack2_QVGA.cab" which is cool black compatible theme. And enable the theme by selecting "PUREBLACK2" theme in Settings>Today>Apperance. You will find this theme in iPhoneTodayFolder-n-Settings.zip file. Or you can install any other suitable theme if it should look good.
Step B: Icon creation
1) Enable only "iPhoneToday" in Settings>Today>Items. Click OK. Now wow....iPhone screen appears with few already configured icons. Now you are ready to edit or delete some icons which are not properly visible and you can add more icons you want, with the help of UI Manager (Icon Settings in Image shown below)
2) Click stylus for 2 second on screen and Add Icon, Select Execute Program, Icon image if you want else leave blank, the program will automatically take icon from exe file. Click ok. This is called UI Manager which adds or deletes icons. Using UI Manager, while adding icon you can select SCREEN Number (Page No) for icon (-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6 or 7).
0 is for first page icon, 1 for second page... and so on... More information on this is below...
3) You can change background image from Settings>Today>Appearance>Select "Use this picture as background" and browse to select your favorite image with proper screen size. Right now its black image for good visibility of icons, but you can use your own.
UI Manger
(also known as ICON SETTINGS see image below)
UI Manager is very simple to use. It appears after pressing stylus for 2 secongs on iPhoneToday screen or icon, you either say ADD ICON or EDIT ICON. The next screen appears is UI Manager.
With UI manager, here is what you can do:
Screen: This is actually a page number of icon from -1 to 7
Select -1 is for bottom four fixed icons (which stay fixed on all pages)
Select 0 for 1st page, 1 for 2nd page, and so on upto 7 (Total 8 Pages)
Icon: This is simply a serial number of icon on selected page. Give any priority number and see what happens. Generally should be 0 to 11 (for 12 icons on one page. I do not recommend more than 12 icons on one screen/page.
Name: Name of the icon to appear below each icon
Image: (optional) Select any BMP or PNG file for actual icon, leave blank if not available, UI Manager will take the icon automatically from EXE file. You will find most iPhone icons in "\iPhoneToday\Icons" folder of your device which you copied in 3rd step of installation. Try to use most of these for real iPhone look. You can select other icons for rest of the programs from anywhere else. Be sure the icons files are copies in above device folder only and not in Memory Card to avoid icon loss problem when you remove memory card.
Type: If this is a special icon, select it, otherwise keep NORMAL. For example for SMS icon select New sms option or for Calls icon select Missed Calls, SMS (Unread Messeges), etc.
Execute: Select Actual EXE program or Link (*.lnk) that runs when the icon is pressed.
Parameters: (optional) this is a command or setting used for the program being run. For example if you have a program that dials a number, this is where you would put the phone number
ExecuteAlt: (optional) What runs when the icon (special icon) has a status, if any.
ParamsAlt: (optional) this is a command or setting used for the Alt program being run if any.
Launch Animation: (optional) If selected the screen animates to expand the white box and new application starts from that white box. Completely optional. Dont select if you have slower device.
===========================================
Icons.XML and Settings.XML is optimized by me for QVGA device as I only have QVGA device.
===========================================
THIS APPLICATION WORKS PREFECTLY WELL ON ALMOST ALL WM DEVICES. QVGA, VGA, WQVGA, WVGA, etc. Only you need to modify value in following line in settings.xml found in iPhoneToday folder you just copied.
<screenHeigth>267</screenHeigth>
for QVGA__(320x240) keep screenheight = 267
for WQVGA_(320x240) keep screenheight = 347
for VGA___(640x480) change screenheight and iconwidth too. Do some tests with different values.
Other working setting are still coming...
WORKS PERFECT IN LANDSCAPE MODE TOO
OPTIONAL:
With neoNoBar 2.0, you can hide/disable bottom bar as mentioned in Tito's post. Thanks Tito...
DOWNLOAD neoNoBar 2.0 at link given below. If 2.0 does not work properly, Try NeoNoBar 1.3.
HONESTLY SPEAKING I DONT RECOMMEND NEONOBAR, AND IT DOES NOT WORK WIH SPB MOBILE SHELL AND ALSO CLASHES WITH WAD2. NOT RECOMMENDED TITO'S SCREENSHOT

You are right I optimized for QVGA and collecting exact settings for other size screens too. This home plugin runs on almost all WM5 and WM6 devices.

yes its far better and easier than iFonz0.8. In fact the original post with original cab file was too confusing and was not explained how to install properly. Many things were assumed. I tried to put them in simple english and step-by-step guide helps a lot, which very few people know how to put it in words

Its very simple to solve this problem. Just reduce screenheight setting one pixel at a time, I mean if you are using 534, then try 533, then try 532 and finally you will get a perfect number which will work both in portrait and landscape mode. I dont have vga, else I would have told you exact number.
I also request you to give that exact working iconwidth and screenheight number for the sake of all vga users here.

Hello jaya and all newbies....requesting please please read first post carefully and also remaining posts before your question here. Its all given there.
1) You can select special icons by selecting TYPE of icon when you are in icon settings (ui manger) page.
2) Notifications are original as available in 6.5 screen. Indicator is shown as usual on top bar.
3) I am sure everyone knows how to change background in WM. But its ok. Repeating here : You can change background image from Settings>Today>Appearance>Select "Use this picture as background" and browse to select your favorite image with proper screen size.
Once again newbies read carefully. Reading is good for everyones health
I managed to configure SMS notifications linking it to /windows/start menu/programs
Everything seems to be ok. wall paper still doesnt change to the 1 i have on WM 6.5 (even if you change the wall paper on today settings). any idea how we can link a clock icon to diplay the exact system time? this is completely awesome.
Thanks indicam,
good expl.,some screens (I used nuenobar 2 ), btw the white bar in landscape appears only when I activate Capsure, otherwise ok.
nueNoBar 2.0

Thanks and glad you liked the guide.
I am adding information about freeware nueNoBar as you mentioned.
nueNoBar 2.0 (homepage)
Description
nueNoBar disables the bottom bar on the today screen, giving you more space on the today screen. The softkeys are still functional in this mode.
nueNoBar is WM 5, 6 and 6.1 compatible, and should run on WM 6.1 builds 20000+ as well. nueNoBar is donationware, so please donate to support nueNoBar and nueRom development. Please do not mirror this file, but link visitors to this page for the latest version.
Note: Please be sure to reset after you install if you are using the cab. It doesn't work with manila (manila makes its own bar).

1.3 Fix bottom alignment issue, fix bar sometimes appears.
1.2 Fix “service restart required” issue, phonealarm issue

WARNING : MAY NOT WORK ON SOME DEVICES. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
Get and unpack Chome Visual Editor
copy original LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr file from your phone /windows/lockscreen/ to the chome folder
copy all the png graphics that start 'htc_' from your phone /windows to chome/windows on the pc.(not necessary, you can happily edit without this step)
The starred section below is what chome instructions say you should do, and is connected to importing registry, however i can't make it work properly yet, so this is kind of useless for now, and again, it isn't necessary for these simple positioning edits.
***********************
*copy bronzeres.dll from phone to chome/windows
*copy cmhomeres.dll.0409.mui from phone and rename it cmhomeres.dll in chome.windows.
*You need ROMExtractor from Cotulla to get the .mui file
*http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1571715
************************
If you want to enable the animated arrows on the lockscreen left and right of the slide button, open your LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr in notepad, and look for the two sections that have been commented out. Find and remove the entries
<!--
and
-->
there are 4 of them.
EDIT using the animated arrows affects music playback when in standby. i guess that's why it comes commented out.
************************
Run CVE (chome visual editor) and open your lockscreen.cpr
The first thing you will see is that the buttons aren't there. I haven't figured out about importing registry and what not yet, only tinkering with the layout.
At the bottom of the preview, set the size to 480 x 800 and zoom till you can see it all. I opened the default wallpaper.png in windows/ folder and erased the background to leave it clear, get rid of that ugly coloured thing.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
on the left, open the tree at 'scene'.
Of the 5 entries, the three layers are Lockslider, Notifications list (for missed calls, txts, email) and TimeAppointment. Pretty self explanatory which is which.
If you select those three on the left, and look at the info on the right, you will see these three panes are given positioning info relative to the top of the screen.
So the notification List panel has a Top value of 115. (And it also lights up blue in the preview, not all panes do this)
Sub items of the main panels have their positioning relative to the panel, so notification/focus has a top value of 0 - the top of the notification panel.
IMPORTANT - if you move an item above the start of its panel, either by dragging, or by setting a top/left/right or whatever outside the panels edge, it won't show when you use the lockscreen.
This is most notable when dealing with the
TimeAppointment/DateTime and
TimeAppointment/Appointment
because they have zero height and width, so don't show up shaded blue on the preview - easy to mistakenly move a time/calender entry above it.
We're going to keep it simple, and not mess with the sub entries, just rearrange the three panels. Time/calendar at top, msg/call notification panel in the middle, and unlock slider at the bottom.
Select the LockSlider panel on the left, and on the right, set the Top value to, say 650
Select the TimeAppointment panel, and on the right set top to 0
Select the Notifications List, set top to 250 and height to 400
Don't forget to move the TapOrSlide and SlideToUnlock entries to just above the LockSlider, select them one by one and set top to 630 for both. You will also see on the right that different options have come up. Font, colour, shadow etcetera.
Now lets tinker with the time / appointment display a little.
Select and delete the ugly red calender symbol, and then with the entries for time, date, appointment subject, just play with them. Personally i move things by manually editing the top/left/right etcetera rather than the mouse.
TRAP - select TimeAppointment/Appointment, see the small blue dot? if you drag the appointment items above that they wont show, so be sure and set that's top value to 0.
In the image, subject will not show.
If you select DateTime, you will see this has a top value of 14, so if you move the clock up without changing it, you get the top cut off.
If you want to play with graphics, click and select the calender icon as a test, and you will see on the right there are two references to a file in the windows folder, you can edit that, but you need to edit both refs or it wont change.
Testing
_______
Copy to your phone, move to windows/lockscreen, and soft reset. A bit of a pain, the soft reset, but it won't update till you do.
and that's it, i haven't gotten into anything deeper, I'm going to branch into kitchens and see if i can get importing the registry to work, but here's how mine looks for now.
and version 2...
I don't know what the buttons down the left do, certainly nothing for me.
If anyone knows more about using this prog, please let me know.
I'll add as/if I find anything about how importing registry works.'
That is nice!! Thank you very much for this!
Very nice. Thanks.

Task bar with % and time from screenshot "sams lock screen"
Off topic, but how could I get the same task bar configuration that you have in the screenshot of your lock screen. It had both the time and battery percentage and volume-together. I haven't been able to find that config. for my TMOUSHD2-stock ROM.
Thanks for all your posts, helped me out more than once.
update - I had wondered why the animated slide arrows had been commented out by default, but now I know why.
When you are listening to mp3 and the phone drops to standby, the playback stops and starts every 10 - 20 seconds (well it does on the 15/20 meg mp3 podcasts i listen to using media player).
Comment out the arrows and voila, no more jerky playback.
edited cab attached.

sorry, its from the rom i use, dont know what its called, except 'colouredtaskbar.cab', though i think thats just the colours, not the actual items.
Everything is working well with this app but there is something I'm not seeing. how do you remove the actual text that displays "slide" or "tap or slide" above the lock icon?

there are two thin wide panels just above the slide path, and i think it says tap or slide. just delete the two panels.
i'll grab a screenshot when i get home.
