Greetings!
If someone is interested in having a HTC visual touch here are the files. Would be great if we can achive HTC TouchFlo effects soon

@eloger it will be pretty good if you give the screen shot. I used already HTC Kaizer Home plugin, it is very cool mate

thnx for the collection...

Cool!
Check this!
I found it here is some threads:
*Attached the actual Touch wait cursor
*Touch dialer (The one we used in the Ather ROM) (I think its also used on the touch!)
Enjoy!!!

Vibrating Phonepad
Guyz this was included in my Winodws Mobile 6 Rom..now im sharing it with u
Download the Attached CAB file to make ur PhonePAD vibrate when a number is inserted

This is the appearance HTC Home Plugin

I like most of the HTC plugin, but not the HUGE clock. Is there still no solution to shrink it down to make room for some more buttons or today items?
by the way, eloger, there are lots of solutions around to get more touchflo- and/or iPhone-like experiences, like:

There are more that I'm either not aware of or that I can not find at the moment, so please, if you know of similar programs, tell us in this thread.

There is free software namely HTC Home Cuztomizer, may be it can help to customize all appearance in HTC Home plugin. To change the style of clock is absolutely possible but I like big clock, so I don't try to make it into small size

Last time I looked into it, it was only possible to change the font, not the size of the clock

i ll check the registery..maybe it can be resized by it

Battery status in %

Hello,
since battery life of the S730 is not very long, i would like to see a more detailed battery information, that is available by just pressing one button.
I searched the internet for some application or tweak that does the trick, but no success.
I was thinking about a replacement for the normal battery icon that shows the status in percentage, also when recharging.
Another idea is to add the battery status in percentage in the information screen that you see when you unlock the keypad of the S730.
Does anybody know of an application or tweak for this?
Greetz,
Rob

Just install SmartMonitor plugin and a cool homescreen that uses it (here are a few : Cool Homescreens for S730)
I had to use SmartMonitor 0.9.5.1, because the latest (0.9.6.0) was giving me some input lag

I recommend bLifePlugin. Its a plugin for homescreen that displays battery %, battery life (number of hours until the batteries run out), and few other statistics. Its free and small.

I just use start>8(settings)>9(Power management). quick and easy enough.

Thanks guys, I'll check those apps and see what i'm going to use!
gr. Rob

I've been using SmartMonitor with a modified HTC Home screen - the attached homescreen puts the battery % below the bar icon, with the free RAM next to it. (I've also tweaked the calendar plugin and added Profile and MRU details)

Hi Madferret,
sounds great! I see there is a xml file in the zip. What do I have to do with that, to get it working?
gr. Rob

I already found out where to put the xml file, but it doesn't show battery status. I guess that is because I don't have smartmonitor. Could anyone post the cab file for smartmonitor?
gr. Rob

Et voilà
Regards

Thanks a lot! It works.
All this new functionality asks for a lot of tweaking!
I already tried to modify madferret's xml file to get rid of the 'profile' section of his home screen, but the s730 doesn't recognise the new xml file. I named it Rob.01.xml.
How do I get it to work?

Use crimson editor to edit your .xml file
http://www.crimsoneditor.com/
Regards

Still doesn't work. I opened the file from madferret with crimsoneditor and just modified the author and title and did save as "Rob.02.xml".
Then copied to \application data\home and tried to select it in the settings for the home screen. But it was nowhere to be found!
Anyone knows why?
Please help! Rob

Try this
Regards

I don't know what happened, but the things I did this afternoon and didn't work, do work now.
I guess it has to do with the computer at work.
I'm going to tweak the home screen I have now and I'm sure it's going to be a neat home screen for me. Maybe I'll post it some day!
thanks guys!

Sorry for the delay, I've been out of touch for the past week or so!
For a homescreen file to work the filename MUST end in .home.xml - you can put anything you like before that. Change your file to Rob.02.Home.xml and it should work. Also make sure it's in Application Data/Home. See http://tinyurl.com/47o4 for some info on homescreens (pre WM5 but still relevant).
I should also have mentioned that as well as the SmartMonitor plugin I also have the PtkslApptPlugIn running in place of the default calendar (it gives a scrolling display and always shows the next appt if you have nothing for the present day) - http://www.patricktrentsullivan.com/products.htm. All you need to do to revert is copy the original calendar plugin XML code from the default HTC.Home.xml to your file in place of my code.

@madferret:
the information from this thread helped me to tweak the homescreen, and now i'm quite pleased with the result. Thanks for the help. I am at my work now, and it is not possible to upload a screen shot. But now i have a battery meter at the top of the screen. It is the battery/memory meter I found in batt.htc.home.xml. Then the htc clock, without the message notification bar. Then comes the bar with small icons from the last used applications (rmu), which I also found in one of the homescreens posted here. Then comes the agenda from the homescreen from smartmonitor, which shows upcoming appointments better then the standard htc homescreen does.
All of this fills the complete 2.4" screen and I'm very pleased with it. A wysiwyg homescreen editor would have been helpfull, because I don't have a lot of time to spend on these things.
gr. Rob

Pleased to be of help
I thought the SmartMonitor home screen just uses the standard calendar plugin?
If you're looking for a WYSIWYG home screen editor there are a few out there but a lot are based on the 2003 version. I found a free one at www.madbeetle.com, useful for getting the basics covered.

is this with wm6 or what os? maybe at the wrong thread point me the rite way please>>>themes for wm6 or a very good generator>>>i have ms theme gen 2002

Tools to customize the today screen

Greetings,
I was searching the forums looking for tools to change my today screen. In fact, I have found 1-Home Edit, but it doesn´t seem to work on my Kaiser.
tbh, I just want to change default colors and the background. Are there any utils that would do that ?
Thanks in advance,

search for htc home customizer

haam1978 - search for htc home customizer
He wants to customize his today screen as he said. He didn't say anything about wanting to customize the HTC Home plugin.

That´s right... for example, when I go to settings, today screen, and specify a background, it loads ok, but it appears like Im looking through a smoked glass... I even thought about editing some themes and saving them with the backgrounds I want, but that wouldn´t be pratical.
Reading the description of the 1-Home Edit tool, I found that that´s what I´m looking for, but it won´t work on the kaiser.
Any suggestions ?

In response to the OP, try reading this from microsoft. Personalize the Today/Home Screen.
Also,
Microsoft’s free desktop PC Theme Generator
ThemeMaker
VITO ThemeEditor
Spb Pocket Plus
PocketBreeze

The 1-Home Edit tool is for Windows Mobile Smartphone/Classic not for Windows Mobile Professional that the Tilt/TyTNII uses.

ok for putting your bakground do the next
open it by the windows photo viewer and then choose it from the option menue to be as a background and then you will get a transperant percent put it in 0 then you will see it as well
for changing the coloures of your bars i think any themes can do that
i hope this is what you mean

I had the same problem about the background, thanks for the info haam, it helped

Update [Winterface 1.2 Themes] Neon, Tenius, Realize and :-) Hand Drawn

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.

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.

[SLIDER] [UPDATE:19/JAN] Classicflo Slider V2

It's been over a year(?) but i've been working on this for the past few days, and.. here's an update!!
To all nrg rom users:
Use classicflo_slider_v2-nrg_beta.cab
In the classicflo slider v1, nrg roms did not display the upper image. I don't know why this happens. To counter this, a transparent backplate is utilized.
I have not tested this on a nrg rom yet, tell me if it works
If you encounter any problems: take a screenshot + write a description to post here or pm me.​
Thanks to

for testing way back when

Enjoy!

=============================
i. uninstall any previous custom installed sliders
1. download the .cab file and move it onto your phone (via activesync) or to your microSD card.

I've always loved this style, don't know why HTC strayed away. Thanks for sharing.

well i like it

do you have this silder

very well done thanks for sharing it

No, sorry i only have the classic htc one. i think the one you're referring to is made by a carrier - so the image files would be pretty hard to find.
If there are any issues, post them here and i'll try to troubleshoot!

thank you very much for posting this consistant slider. its like the finishing touch of my GTX screen.

Thanks so much man! I've been looking for this for a long time...

Thank you nice to have the "classic" slider

nice! thanks

Thanks for sharing!

Very nice slider, thanks !!
by the way, would be possible to reduce the size preview icons we can see its a little sharped because there are big. and the sms tab icon would be more aligned with the slider (the black square behind)
I suggest this because I like very much your slider !

Brilliant, thanks so much for making this - the new Sense slider is so tacky: like some have already said here, I don't know why HTC abandoned the super slick version...

How can I install this??

Say, I'm currently using a different version of this slider made by Zitoun - only problem I have with it is that the calendar tab's preview icon has the date out of alignment. Does this one have that issue? If not, sign me up, the TF3D iconset is so much nicer than Sense.

Can you make a Facebook tab!? Please!

Click to expand...

yes...
Also make call history icons please??
Edit: The calendar tab would probably look better if the day of the week was darker than white. Also, I haven't used the touchflo interface previously, but is the selected tab supposed to be blank when you're on it's page? In other words, when I slide and stop on a tab, the icon is hidden by just the blank grey tab slider. On the new Touchflo interface, it shows the icon as selected essentially, which is kinda what I prefer. So this may be a bug on my phone with this addon, or I may just be unfamiliar with the old interface...
Thanks for your work though and if these above things are addressed, I'll run this permanently. Currently though, it's not quite where it needs to be for me to run it daily. I'm running the Tmobile HTC LEO with latest EnergyRom.

facebook and manila tv
It is by far the best slidericons collection but:
with facebook and a manilatv icon its even better
So if you could be so kind...

Really nice, better than the default slider, but I would like to report some bugs... if this is the right place to do it...idk
First I noticed on the HTC Rhodium Verizon CDMA version, running latest EnergyRom Jul 24
The Slider does not have an image for whatever tab you are currently on, Its just all black.
And the Calendar shows the date all out of line...

Any chance you could add an icon for the GPS tracker tab?
