Batti - has it been optimized for 6.1?
I've seen some posts where people have batti and it has a vista like rainbow look and feel.
Is there a way to change the app so you can put the bar on the bottom? Someone want to update the app to do that?
I know it's not Batti, but it's not this one you're seeing is it?

It does the same job as Batti, has the rainbow colours you mentioned and it definitely works in WM6.1 (it's built into some ROMs).

You'll need to edit your theme somehow.

i'm think that's done with the help of wisbar advance
http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com
check their forums for available themes
Desktop
Yeah, my Start menu is on the bottom, Vista Mobile, + all of the standard windows icons, so it is like XP/Vista (used both styles of icons, so it is a mix ) desktop. That was with that WISBar Advance, and desktop...
Props to DAVID LANHAM! He apparently designed these icons that I lifted from other various themes from iPhones to Desktops. Here is the new and final comprehensive version of Stickerface.
First person to say Winterface sucks, still ugly, etc. loses three internets. If you don't like it, don't buy it.
File in zip title "wicons_x2" is placed in Program Files/Weather/skins/bin
In addition, place the file "weather_icons" in BOTH the Weather AND Winterface skins/bin folders.
Zip file with everything is in Post #6.

And personally, I'd be inclined to agree with you since the default icons also match nicely if you're using SMS-Chat, FunContact, Weather, Eye Photo and ZoomBoard. VITO does a really nice job of making all of their products uniform.
That said, it's a rather lazy choice of colors. I would love it if they would release new versions of Winterface, Weather and EyePhoto to go with the alternate skins of SMS-Chat, FunContact and ZoomBoard, which is much more cheerful.
Icons for the free VITO Weather application now posted in #1.
Tahnk you, that's fab!!!
However, can you plz post "wicons_x2" again?
I just cannot find the file.
Sorry about that. Here it is.
downloading now gonna see if it works on my touch pro. i just posted a review on this gonna have to update it with the new skin
This is awesome! How can we make our own icons?
This is great! The original Winterface icons are difficult to see in direct sunlight on my HTC Titan. These more vivid icons address that problem. Question: how did you do this? How can we make our own icons for Winterface - which programs are needed?
Thanks again.
Photoshop usually

I used Gimp which is pretty much the same thing. And once you get used to it, it's not even all that time consuming. I've taken a few cracks at creating other themes (Neon is coming soon) and finding the icons to use takes more time than it does to tweak them for Winterface. Just a matter of resizing, copy and paste. The key is saving it correctly (16-bit, R5G6B5) or you can mess other things up (the Realize theme causes the Task Manager to close the program.)
I'm debating on making a UI ROM. This ROM would contain ALL the most popular UIs for windows mobile. I will try and customize the look of them if people want. Is anyone interested in this???
PS. Of course you know this may eat up a lot of storage memory. I'll try and minimize as much as I can.

Try the basic ones: iFonz+S2U2+S2P, Throttlelauncher+throttlelock, HS++, and of course, Manila!
Hmmm i was thinking more like FEWidgets, PointUI, SPB Mobile shell and TF3D. I'm really not a fan of throttle launcher cause its so freaking slow..
Depending on the performance.. I would love to give it a shot.
I would like to have:
Taskbar Icons,
Background for all Tabs,
Slider Icons,
New Icons set under Start - Like iPhone everything one size within a Sq template. (for WM6.5)
S2U2 cooked into the WM 6.1 ROM
If the ROM is smooth and stable with out any memory leaks and within acceptable RAM usage... I am sure a lot of people would love it.
My 2 Cents.
I would probably base the ROM on WM6.1 but I was going to put tweaks for the interfaces and some basic apps. This would be more of a Find ur UI ROM so u can test them all and to have them all optimized in one rom
I think this is a great idea, and would certainly be interested if it had a nicely set up PointUI with SenseUI suite (I've had issues with it running on my phone).
Throttlelauncher should be speedy enough on this device. It was quite fast on my old Herald, and that thing's ancient. I would probably prefer that there weren't any paid interfaces like Home2 and SPB, since not everyone has a registration for them.

From what i've seen Throttle launcher is slow and laggy on every device.. I can try it on the TP2 and make a decision. SPB mobile shell is like rated one of the top interfaces for Winmo so i can't leave that out. It gives the people who do use that interface the ability to have a customized ROM for it. I'm personally not a fan but have like 10 coworkers that hate tf3d and love spb.
How about Moto Homescreen or UL for that matter!
Check this thread out try editing the manila 2.6 and making a landscape version and using the latest 2.5/2.1 to try and get it working correctly.

I honestly don't believe that is possible but I can look into it. No one wants to share the Manila 2.6 Packages so there is nothing I can do there.
I'd like it but im sure it would be pretty hard to bundle all that together and still be able to hotswitch between the different today screens.

Well they are all like today plugins so you would switch between them the same way u add and remove today plugins...
Download link
MOD EDIT: Link Removed - no warez
Just released new 3.5 SPB Mobile Shell with following features added / modified in the version 3, I like it & I feel it is worth to try
3D email and SMS viewer I feel it is better than Manila
Improved 3D carousel design (e. g. added reflections)
New skins for most widgets
Color themes support on Windows Mobile 6.5
Facebook & twitter widgets
Internet search
Option to change the number of screens in lifestyle or professional layouts
& many more.
Regards,
Manoj
Thanks for the POST. Been looking for this. THANKS again.
Erm... surely this is warez?

yes, they seem to like warez on this site.
WHat ROM are you using this on? Is there any benefit to using a 6.5 rom with this, or may as well go back to a stock rom?
Cheers.
I am using Valkyrie v3.9 XPERIO, definitely you get benefits of 6.5 along with spb. I used spb 3 with earlier ROMs of 6.1 & 6.5 & experience was awesome.
Cheers
PS : It is a trial version.

Not really... you can find it here too:
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pocketpc-software/mobileshell/
And download a trial:
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pocketpc-software/mobileshell/download.html
When you choose cab install, you get the same file as the link provided above here....
Without a license it works only for 30 days, so it's not warez. When you use or provide a serial (for Mobile Shell 3, which still work), then it's warez.
Very true!
Thanks Gwystyl for posting clarification for the members having doubts.
Thanks for the clarification. I've tried it out, and it does not seem to offer a huge amount extra over SPB 3.0 panel, which is freely available elsewhere. I'm gonna stick to that
Can this be set as a separate panel, i.e., not a skin for the Windows 6.5 Home Panel? I mean like the initially introduced Korean version was a separate panel, can this version be set the same way?
I just love it - it's 100 times better than any Manila. After i installed it for me Manila with it's bugy Leo is dead.

What free 3.0 panel? Is this the modded korean one?

Yes, I believe that's what he is talking about.
Been using 3.5 for a day now and I definitely like it better than the modded Korean 3.0 version. However, from my point of view, these are the cons:
1. Consumes about 20% more resources, leading to faster battery drain.
2. Lack of individual panel. I hope there will be a fix for this soon.

I totally agree. To be honest, Manilla, with it's near lack of customization is becoming archaic. But I bet versions will soon be as customizeable as SPB MS. Till then, bit hard for me to understand why people would choose it over SPB MS.

Hi all fellow TP2 Users,
i have been doing my fair share of experimenting with all the custom roms available here on the XDA forums. i must say, i feel like i hit a gold mine by buying this phone and also finding this forum for support. however, i havent been able to find anyone on here that has built a custom rom that has both the Programs tab and the Footprints tab available in the rom. it would also be nice to have the twitter tab and manila tv player tab available as well. why cant these tabs all be incorporated into the rom and let us, the users, decide whether or not we wish to use them? its all about customization and user friendliness. someone please give it a try and lets see how far it flys or does it simply crash and burn.
also, anyone know where i can find a cab to add more squares to the home tab? being limited to 9 favorites of "anything" feels kinda restricting considering the capabilities of this phone!!
thanks in advance and any and all responses are encouraged on here and to my email.

Welcome to forums
There are several ROM´s with programs and footprints tabs
Just to mention one, look for Energy leo
If it´s not what you are looking for, the best way will be to contact a Chef and donate him asking your request
if u want those tab's, just use agent_47 latest ROM's
believe me, U wont regret
EDIT: oops a lil missunderstanding... was thinking about documents tab n footprints.
but still give Valkyrie a go
Isn't this because the footprints/twitter tab is a sense 2.5 tab and the programs tab is in sense 2.1? I think you'll get one or the other depending on which manila is in the rom your using...your home tab "favorites" essentially takes the place of the old programs tab

Ahh the documents tab...I've seen the screenshots but haven't yet looked around for any roms with it yet...I'll wait on nrg.
thanks for the tip on the NRG leo option. on another side note; even though im relatively new here i would like everyone to know that i am technically savvy and catch on very quickly. i can only hope that sometime in the near future i can contribute something of worth (besides a donation to a chef) to the forums and even possibly cook in the future. however, can anyone enlighten me on the "leo" "photon" differences in NRG's roms. if he has stated it, i mustve just overlooked it. also great props go out to his xmas theme and am gonna try his dusk theme soon.
i also wish to extend a great bow and offer up some kudos to two pump chumps roms as well. his roms are snappy and i love his choice of preinstalled features and games! these two chefs need to collaborate on a rom together! THAT would b awesome!!

not a big fan of being limited to only 9 "squares+" for shortcuts. waiting for a cab to add more or bring back the programs tab.

Leo/Photon are his rom versions with different Manila (HTC's Custom Homescreen) versions cooked in. Leo has Manila 2.5 (with footprints, documents, twitter, and is portrait mode only) and photon has Manila 2.1 (has the programs tab, that card styled contacts tab, etc, works in portrait and landscape). See the screenshots in his threads to see most of the "layout" differences.
oh and dusk is not nrg's theme, he's just cooked it into his roms so you don't have to fuss with installing it...
