That's why it's an HTC program. Why don't you use SPB Mobile Shell which is just the same?!?!?
very nice
works soo great on my kaiser
really appreciate it,thanks the guy from pxdxa~~
and i have a question:
i install your attachment,and just have the clock and msg,no green icons~
the green icons on your screen(the quick links?) are htchomeplug, right?
yep, you need to go to the settings - today - and there is one more tab - plus! - where you can setup what you will see or not. just setup it here
It's interesting, very minimalist compared to the HTC Home. I wish they would have added Tab support as in the Home plugin, so we could switch to contact photodialing, quick launch etc.
The existing quick launch along the bottom is nice, especially being able to add any program to it (and drag icons to re-arange their order). But it's only one line, having to click on an arrow to scroll through them. Expanding it to display more lines, or perhaps even the entire screen (if needed) would have been nice.
I'll be sticking with HTCHome for now, maybe use Plus! to add 1 row of quicklaunch icons and not display the clock/mesage indicators.
(unless I am misunderstanding what this app does):
Just to let you guys know, your Kaisers should already be pre-installed with the Quicklaunch icons (with one additional for backlight) prior to installing this app. Go to "settings>today>items". Look through the list and check the box next to "HTCHomeplug" (Not htc home). The only difference is the icons aren't green.
ee, i do not agree. thchomeplug is someting different from this. icons are smaller then on quicklink and you can not customize it..
disagree

you can customize htchomeplug search for either the thread started by me or search for registry under kaiser upgrading and you can customize the new htc tray app using the same registry keys
yep, already found that and it was posted HERE
the problem that i find with this home plug in is that the quick link to the txt, mms and e-mail are all liked to the same main page of Messages, not individually like the htc home plugin v.2... can you fiz that issue, or can any one fix that??
All functioning and even the screen orientation icons make sense now.
Thanks to icons mostly from here:

Realize weather icons from oscarbum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3032867&postcount=24
[UPDATE] Added neon weather icons to neon.zip file (adapted from original Vito icons)
[UPDATE] See post #59 for extra Neon icons in a dll file. They can be used by calling them in a .lnk file as described elsewhere in this forum.
Briefly, you make a txt file and the syntax would be, for instance:
81#"\Storage Card\Program Files\CorePlayer\player.exe"?\Storage Card\My_icons.dll,-20
where the number 20 is the icon index in the dll file. I've also attached in post #59 a png file showing the icon index number for all of the icons in the dll file.
Best of luck
Great, thank you!
That's funny. I've been working on a new theme for WAD2 using this set and it didn't occur to me to use it for WF. Nice work.
Amazing Work! Thanks
For me, THE best skin for winterface... great job, and thanks for sharing
Posted the various links for WF themes here on xda-devs...
...at blog.iwindowsmobile.com
and the moderators keep removing them.
I wonder why :-/
i think they still see skinning as hacking. but then what do they expect if they don't offer alternative themes themselves? even though the software is pretty good, many people won't buy it because of the oppressive look of the UI.
people want a constant theme running through their whole device and application UI, or they want to be able to tweak things to their satisfaction
*more people will buy the software*
hope someone from Vito reads this.
i love it man vito/iwindows should allow open skins for this it makes it more attractive...and i was think (maybe its too ipone-ish but) they should lock the bottom bar and allow us to put our most used apps/settings/contax etc there just a thought but im addin this new skin to the collection
Great! Thanx friend!
thanks for all. I like it. I love the VITO Interface but now it has a very very good look and beautiful colors...
Thanks a lot...
Just for a laugh...
...some hand-drawn icons added to first post
nice, nice... thanxx man
Nice, thanks dave
If you ever decide to do another Winterface theme...
Here's some things I've found that might save you some time....
1. Don't do a calendar icon. Winterface replaces it with the background icon in the black file and puts the date on it.
2. Don't do a clock icon. Same reason.
3. Also, the weather icon in the icons file is no longer used. It pulls the info from the weather icons.bmp.
4. On my phone anyway, Winterface doesn't use the calculator icon. Kind of an odd glitch.
5. I don't use bluetooth, so I don't know for sure, but unless the plain bluetooth icon opens bluetooth explorer, doing all three icons is pointless too.
6. This next point actually adds time, but I noticed you did not do anything with the top row contact icon. It is skinnable, you just need to make sure you do EXACTLY the same thing to the contact icon in black.bmp.
Great job, as always. I hope to be back working on more icons soon as well once I finished my Blackberry Bold theme for WAD2.
Another theme
Here's one I threw together this morning. (Are we nearing the point of simply having a Winterface theme thread?)
I don't know if I've posted the weather icons before but it goes well with the realize theme.

1. Don't do a calendar icon. Winterface replaces it with the background icon in the black file and puts the date on it.
Although I think it does use this icon if your default calendar app is not the standard Windows one. One way of working is to have your appointments shown on S2U2 as you unlock and use a better calendar such as Thumbcal as standard
2. Don't do a clock icon. Same reason.
3. Also, the weather icon in the icons file is no longer used. It pulls the info from the weather icons.bmp.
That's another ton of work I have to do :-(
4. On my phone anyway, Winterface doesn't use the calculator icon. Kind of an odd glitch.
Mine neither, but I figured that's because I dono't use the standard calculator
5. I don't use bluetooth, so I don't know for sure, but unless the plain bluetooth icon opens bluetooth explorer, doing all three icons is pointless too.
Yes, the plain one opens Bluetooth settings
6. This next point actually adds time, but I noticed you did not do anything with the top row contact icon. It is skinnable, you just need to make sure you do EXACTLY the same thing to the contact icon in black.bmp.
I thought the very same thing this morning. My upcoming theme will change this icon as well
Great job, as always. I hope to be back working on more icons soon as well once I finished my Blackberry Bold theme for WAD2.

Should be able to post another here in a day or so, depending on whether I take on the buttons and the weather icons as well!
Good work and thanks for the tips
well i notice the slide to unlock image (lock) is messed up. also, there are pink dots on bottom left and right of bluetooth icon.
other than that they're amazing. thanks for the icons.
we are also waiting your last theme with realize icons,oscarbum.
thank you both.
is anyone else having this issue.. it's also noticed when i move icons around and when one icon goes over another, it has parts of the icon that is transparent and that's how the lock looks when it appears. this is vga supported, right? i have touch pro.
Yes, I think that's the messed up lock icon that was mentioned
on another note though, I can' get the contact pictures to work if I change any of the contact icons as you said oscarbum.
I've tried changing the two in black.bmp and the one in icons.bmp in every combination and it doesn't work.
The pictures need to work in three places in the theme:
When you view you contacts ready to dial
When you select the contact to bring up details
When you add a contact.
There is no combination of changed icons (all identical) that works.
I have released a public beta version of my new Throttle Launcher theme over at the Throttle Launcher forums HERE
The theme has been created with permission from maxycy and bignadad for the graphics
The theme has been tested on wqvga and vga devices and was created for those with lower powered devices that want to experience that max sense feel.
Before you start using the theme be sure to run through the configuration, go through the theme settings and pay extra special attention to the programs section where you need to specify what programs will be used to perform certain functions. There is also an exes folder included with some goodies already for you, these are provided as is and may not work for every device.
The weather requires you to Download animations which can be stored on your storage card and pointed to from within the config.
When you press any of the taskbar icons you will see a page similar to that in screenshot 4 to exit to the homescreen you can click on the first icon or to return to the page you were on press on any area of the black background.
Please provide detailed feedback of any issues below.
Revision History
0.8 first public beta
0.81 bugfix startbutton issue when in taskbar page
0.85 07/09/2010 facebook and twitter pages have now been replaced by shortcuts to installed executables.
to allow for a speedup of the tablauncher and weather pages I have now incorporated new weather icons stored in iconsweather within the theme - see screenshots here
a few minor tweaks here and there
Very very nice, i have to try that out right away. You make really the best TL themes out there my friend...thanks
Working great everything. I just have some problems changing the default black background, can you help?
go in to throttle config and open the theme settings.
for the i900 you need to have it set like this as there is no accelleration.
i have also included the rendering options as i have them also

After having tested the theme since yesterday i found that it has some problems:
Several times when adding new widgets or when running a program from within TL, Throttle Launcher quits and i have to restart it manually. I use TL as standalone, not as today plugin. I verified other themes but it only happens with this one. As further info. i use TL version 1.1.9
not had that myself, i'm running 1.1.11

I don't know if it is due to the version 1.1.11 that i have installed but now it is stabler and does not quit often.
On the other hand, how do i add shortcuts on the left panel (left arrows on the side of the home icon)? There are shortcuts there but i think they were pulled from the last theme i used, and there is no add button, left and right softkeys are bringing up the config for TL and for the device. In favorites for example there is an add button and there i could add shortcuts without problems.
Thanks for sharing!

You mean the start menu? Then something is wrong, as only 5 programs show up on my device. On my ROM the start menu is "Windows/Menú Inicio/Programas", maybe this is the problem? On the other side who knows where the 5 shortcuts came from... they are installed programs, but i have easy above 50 installed programs.

im at a loss then, can any of our foreign language users assist here please
if you browse "Windows/Menú Inicio/Programas" on your device can you see all the .lnk files you would expect to have shortcuts for?
I am working on the principal that menu inicio is start menu here

Yes i see all programs, and for example they show all up in other TL themes.
Another question:
As the facebook and twitter widgets do not work for me i would like to launch facebook.exe and PockeTwit.exe when i tap on the corresponding icon in the tablauncher page. What do i have to change in the xml to make this happen? I tried to modify the config.xml but now only a blank page opens. I also tried to modify the facebook.xml and the twitter.xml, but that also did not work. I am sure i am doing something wrong, but i don't know what. If you point me to what to change i might get it to work.
Thanks
I use objectdock as a replacement for my taskbar. I hide the taskbar, but always have to unhide it to view stuff in the system tray. Any sidebar widget, or rainmeter object that can show stuff running in my system tray? I have a pic of my desktop as it is right now, so let me know if you have any ideas. thanks!

get BitTorrent instead of uTorrent as it made peer discovery and my downloads faster.
Also you desktop is too plain. add some folders or something.
Check mine out:

Hi all,
Here's an Android theme which I made to use with WAD.
It's the first theme I've created but I thought it turned out pretty well, so I thought I'd share it and see what you think.
It's for WVGA devices (I use a TG01) and is portrait only.
It has:
3 main pages for shortcuts (slide left/right to move between them)
Clock widget
2 menu pages - tap the silver button at the bottom of any main page to slide up to menu page 1, and slide your finger up on that page to access menu page 2.
Slide your finger down to get back to menu page 1 and tap the silver button at the top of menu page 1 to get back to the main screens.
Taskbar with battery, signal, wifi and new SMS notifications.
To install (if you're already using WAD you probably know this anyway, but just in case!!):
Unzip contents and copy the 'WAD Android theme' folder to Program Files/Lakeridge/Wisbar Advance Desktop/Themes.
In WAD, tap and hold the screen and select 'change theme' (or 'settings - change theme' depending which version of WAD you have).
A new theme should be listed, if not press menu, then scan for themes to fond it (theme should be called 'original backup')
Tap on this, press menu and select 'set as portrait theme'
Done!!
I also included some other android icons which are not used in the theme, for you to use when making your own changes.
Hope you enjoy it - all feedback welcome.

Thanks for sharing!
tweaks
I've discovered there's a couple of tweaks you'll need to make to this theme, to correct some things:
TIME IN TASKBAR:
This is an hour behind the clock widget and is wrong.
Enter Author Mode and tap and hold on the time.
Tap 'properties',then 'text to display'.
Delete what's in the box, tap 'insert variable' and select 'clock - 12 hour'.
Press 'done' until you are back at the main screen.
BATTERY METER:
Schoolboy error - the meter is decreasing in the wrong direction and looks messed up!!
Enter Author Mode and tap and hold on the battery meter.
Tap 'properties', then 'layout'.
Tick the box labelled 'display in the opposite direction'.
Press 'done' until you are back at the main screen.
Regards,
Wildcardspv
Update
Hi there,
This is a bit of a work in progress, so here is a new version with the above corrections already done, a new wallpaper and now also a slide down bar at the top of the 3 main screens, which opens a notifications screen.
Currently this displays the newest SMS message and gives the option to cycle between next/previous messages, as well as reply to them.
In order for this new version to work, please extract the folders from the attachment and place them on your device as follows:
Android theme: Program Files/Lakeridge/Wisbar Advance Desktop/Themes
Message2Reg: My Device/Program Files
Messages: My Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs
You will also need to install Mortscript, which is included in the attachment.
Enjoy!!
Wildcardspv
Further update
The notification screen now shows todays calendar appointments, as well as your newest email (currently googlemail - although the email account can be changed), with the option to flick between next/previous emails.
Here's a screenshot of the main screen with the slide down bar at the top, and the notification screen.
I'll uplodad this updated version tomorrow.
Regards
Wildcardspv
Latest version
Hi,
Here's the latest version with a few changes - see screenshots.
What's new?
1) new email icon in the taskbar
2) reply to email option on the notification screen
3) lockscreen with slider
For emails to be refreshed when opening the notifications screen, please place 'Mail Refresh.Ink' in My Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Messages.
For the digital clock on the lockscreen to work, please ensure that in its script, the 'layout/HTC Home clock theme path' is set to be the 'Digital Clock' folder which is included in this attachment.
Any questions, please get in touch.
As always, all feedback is appreciated.
Regards,
wildcardspv
Improved lockscreen, plus extra wallpapers
Hi all,
Here's a new version with an improved lockscreen, which now includes a volume control slider, new email, SMS and battery level summaries, and network status (see screenshot).
There are also some extra panoramic wallpapers, to span the 3 main screens. In each folder there are 3 files (BG1, BG2 and BG3) - set them as the wallpaper on the following pages:
Desktop - BG1
1 - BG2
2 - BG3
In the last post I said:
"For the digital clock on the lockscreen to work, please ensure that in its script, the 'layout/HTC Home clock theme path' is set to be the 'Digital Clock' folder which is included in this attachment."
In reality you'll find that once the them is installed and applied, the digital clock won't appear on the lockscreen.
To get it, enter Author Mode and add a clock. Choose 'HTC Home' as the type, and then under 'layout/HTC Home clock theme path' set this to be the 'Digital Clock' folder from the previous attachment.
Hope that makes sense!!!
I wish I could create cabs to make this easier for you!!

wildcardspv
All required files
For the avoidance of confusion, here are all the required files.
and if i dont have WAD installed?!?1 can i still use it? sorry im a n00b at this, i just bought my HD2 but already using froyo on it still i wanna use winmo though!!
Sorry my friend, but this theme is specifically for Wisbar Advance Desktop - without running WAD you can''t use it I'm afraid.
Regards,
wildcardspv
mmm and how do i install it?? is it too much trouble?? i dont wanna screw my HD2...
thanks for the reply
Amazing them + (too?) regularly updated!
But to update the first post would really help.
Anyway, Thank you wildcardspv!
idlehands,
What do you want to install?
WAD -> google
This them -> explained in first post, even if it is the last cab that is to be used.
I like it, but shortcuts don´t work and i have to place all them.
Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback guys
@ idlehands - Like Sener said, see earlier posts for install instructions, also check http://forum.lakeridgesoftware.com/showthread.php?t=16492.
It won't mess up your phone but if you find that you don't like the theme, uninstall WAD and ensure that afterwards the following folder has been deleted:
My Device/Program Files/Lakeridge/Wisbar Advance Desktop.
It's always a good idea to soft reset afterwards too.
@ bibiteri - I use a TG01, running KevinPWhite's ROM (TG01_KPW100618.005)
I presume you use a different device or a TG01 with a different ROM?
I guess the shortcut paths may be different on other devices/ROMs, but at least WAD makes it easy to add/edit/delete shortcuts and make them how you want them
I know. Don´t worry.
I have a topaz, htc touch diamond 2, and an energy rom.
Thank you.
What is WAD?
EDIT-- NEVERMIND
I'm trying to test it on my TP2. With WAD 4.0.4, I followed the instructions and copied all the dir around, I go to settings and themes but can't see the your theme.
Have you tried settings>>change theme>> menu>> scan for themes?
Also ensure that the Android theme folder is placed into Program Files/Lakeridge/Wisbar Advance Desktop/Themes, BUT do this on the same memory (phone/storage card) as you have installed WAD
(EG if WAD is installed to storage card, place the Android theme folder into
Storage card/Program Files/Lakeridge/Wisbar Advance Desktop/Themes)
Hope this helps . . .
tanx for ur work. do u have any plan to make it for other resolutions? like QVGA?
i rely want to test it
Can I use this with the free version(trial) of Wisbar?
