Blackberry meets Vista WAD2 and WA Theme - Windows Mobile Themes

Hi,
I saw a picture of a Sprint blackberry curve's home screen and I love the layout. I made a duplicate of this on WAD2 using vista icons and the freestyle font.
I would appreciate any feedback you can give to improve on the design. The files are attached.
This is for QVGA protrait and landscape. I am using a Sprint Touch (Vogue) with the newest standard rom.

It is fantastic...I love it.
Just need to figure the weather out...probably I'll just add my own weather and icons.

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

Hi All,
This is my first 6.5 theme. I've not packaged this up into a cab yet. (if anyone wants to do that feel free) VGA wallpapers and WVGA wallpapers in post #4
I've included installation instructions in the zip along with 2-3 wallpapers/icons for ATContacts and the bronzeres.dll file.
any feedback would be welcome.
If anyone wants other plug-in icons doing then I'd be happy to.
I've also made a skins factory Darkmatter Gamma theme.... will release it shortly

Thanks for the theme, but I have problems with the big clock in your theme. I have just small, is it integrated in the theme?
Yeah, I made a small clock icon for the normal clock plugin so it should be fine.
The screenshot shows the CDigital Clock plugin.
Nice looking themes. Like the xenomorph one best... Good job
CDigital Clock plugin not showing
My screen shows the "alien" background, icons and the titanium scrolling style, except the "manila style flipclock?" I followed per instructions. Soft rest too, same problem

strange... you have installed Cdigital clock??, you have to install this and make sure it's selected with Chome editor to appear as a titanium plugin on the home screen. This hasn't been skinned though, so It won't make any difference to the alienware theme... you'll just have the "manilla style flipclock"

New WM 6.5 Titanium Theme

Hello everyone,
Just finished another version of Titanium Themes I am working on. I have portrait & landscape cabs for: VGA, WVGA, QVGA & WQVGA.
The .cab changes your titanium text to icons only, the background, taskbar, etc will not be changed.
Note that I do like the text, however, the icons allow for a more visible background.
Themes are thanks to twolf & mallman as it could not have been completed without them.
I suppose we can call QVGA & WQVGA official, no weather or Opera support now though I do intend to add them ...one of these years.
Downloads attached in this post. Betas are thanks to OndraSter.
You may lock up your phone & have to clear storage, so I recommend you back up first.
A new not so beta WVGA has been added for download. Note the home tab is slightly different (4th screen). Support for Opera & a few other plugins was added so long as you install your plugins first. Lastlly you won't have the Neuropol font, which is only attached to the home tab, unless you add it to \windows\fonts\. I dunno if I can attach it here or not so here's a link to dload it for now: http://www.dafont.com/neuropol.font
Background for VGA screens are from SsS (by Deck on PPC) rom default, stated made by jbchow.
Please feel free to modify & repost this theme as long as it is free.
Enjoy!
very slick
very impressive! Could you upload your wallpaper as well?
This looks good. I didn't like the large text, so reduced it...but your idea of having icons is perhaps even better. I wonder if there is a way to show the icon and when you put u drag the bar, if the icon + text can show. I'll give it a shot when I have some free time.
Thanks
SeanFromSoCal: You should be able to do both. I was thinking about changing the icon to text only when highlighted myself. However, the preview of messages, etc is the only reason I stray from doing so.
My next icon only theme will remove at least one of the secondary icons. You may have noticed the time/alarm was slightly lower than the other icons, it is my intention to release a set without the time/alarm icons on the time bar to better show backgrounds.
eleguent: About the background question, apologies as it is not mine to give, however, you could extract it from the SsS rom here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=68755
oldsap: Thank you!
Thanks everyone, I hope the set is enjoyed. Also, please feel free to rip this thing apart & reuse it to your pleasure so long as you keep it free.
ok realease on qvga NOW i love it
i wanted
qvga please.
qvga in the works...
QVGA Please!
the best, qwga please!!
Qvga plz we all it
qvga / alarm not showing
Okay, about 2/3 done with the qvga & noticed an issue with the alarm icon on vga version which I will work out as soon as I am done with qvga.
Update: Alarm only shows if you have alarms set, lol, man am I a winner. W & QVGA's betas posted, definite issues with WQVGA landscape, wip.
Questions,
check your PM
aaaa i wanted now! lol i have manila right now but if you release it NOW ill hard reset!

I'm with you. In attempts to maximize the amount of background shown I also tried messing around with the layer heights. I was trying to make the ClockExpanded height nearly full screen and leaving all the other layers their current height, but the Titanium doesn't appear to let you have different height attributes. When I make all of the plugin heights larger (trying to get fullscreen/near fullscreen plugins), the text would get distorted.
Stupid M$! Fix your Titanium UI to make it recognize all XML attributes so we can full flexibility.
am waiting lool
ive installed the cab but cant see it in the list of themes.
am i doing something wrong?

I believe you may not be using the windows default (titanium theme).
The theme should appear when you check "Windows Default" in you Today settings.
Please let me know how it goes.

You could do that by shifting the images of the clock plugin outside the panel and insert above the clock plugin some blank plugins so the text of the other condensed plugins does not come in the way.
How bout in WQVGA PLEASE

Nice.. Really love the battery status.
Thanks
QVGA please, Thanks.
Hey adioph,
upload your qa_layouts.dat file from the SPB Mobile Shell folder, and ill see what i can do about QVGA.
edit: nvmd, got it working
hmm, thats weird, i have a Touch HD, so your device and mines should be pretty similar, also nothing was done to alter the original functionality of MS3.5 as all the orignal widgets etc remains. Will look into it though, thanks.
great widgets btw, thanks. one thing though, is there a reason you branded the battery meter with mh widgets 1.0??? honestly, would much rather see the date up there.
was thinking of gettin the weather widget up there, currently working on it, was also thinking about putting the date / alarm up there. so you guys can have a few options.
Look out for Date, and Alarm versions tomorow.
wow.. good work mate..love the battery status

Awesome!
I love what you did with SPB3.5. Too bad, I am not a SPB fan, but this does look really nice. Great ideas with Tasks and Agenda, the clock.
hmm...I may have to buy SPB, so I can enjoy this.
Thanks man.
Hey guys, i dont know if it works on the other resolutions, only tested on WVGA,
you cant try installing it on the other devices and see if it works, and let me know.
Backup your qa_layouts.dat file in the spb mobile shell directory before testing.
If it does not work on your device, unintall the cab via "remove programs" and then restore your backed up qa_layouts.dat
------------------------
As for the other resolutions, the graphics files would need to be completely redone to match the resolution of the device, please provide the "qa_layouts.dat" file and specify the resolution. And ill see what i can do about a conversion. First come First Serve, so qvga is first .
Also i want to make sure there is no bugs etc with the WVGA version before i start churning out the other resolutions. Also working on a design to acomodate the default lifestyle skin of the notification icons.
will be trying this. the battery on the time looks lovely and I'm vga

thanks! If you are interested, I posted yesterday in my icon/wallpaper topic for these themes how you can set S2P player in it directly.
Feel free to use it, because it is working awesome!
What kind of coding do you need more?
Cheers,
Arnold
Thanks ,I'll go have a look
Good to have a VGA wp7 theme!! Thanks..
Edit : Please make the animation a little(x2) faster..
I'll see what I can do.
great theme, few changes i would like to suggest.
1.) add another option at the bottom of the home screen for email.
2.) in the scroll menu have the icons transparent like the main screen in stead of blue.
3.) Get rid of xbox live (its just a theme) just call it games.
4.) on the main screen where the clock is add the weather there
5.) can you let us know what is working and what is not, that way we won't get any surprises and will be able to fix some of the issues
For whoever tries to convert this wvga can you combine two of the pages from the image, the image that has pictues/phone and the other one music + video and games. Like have that as one long page so we scroll down to get the bottom dunno if that is the case with the vga version.
Hey,
I made a mp3 player-ish page in WAD2 which I now use.
It's better than the last music things. Costed me like 2 hours but it works fantastic using S2P player in background. If you want, feel free to use it in your theme.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642831&page=11
The first post (#101)
Cheers,
Arnold
dude amazing just tried it on my omnia and it worked just fine. The only thing it needs to fit wvga is add to more tab at the bottom of the screen and in the sub menus like game bigger font.
1.Thanks to all the replies, I`m good at graphics not coding for WAD 2, feel free to change the theme as you like, I have no problems with that, as long as you post the results here in XDA (see this theme as open source)
Mostly all pages have to get shortcuts to files & folder. Anyone can change the layout as he pleases. Grids also have to be added or altered.
2. Arnold ,once again very nicely done , I'll go and have a look.
The fist S2P script worked great so i'll surely use this again
Beautiful theme!
1.Currently busy with game page & office layout and will post as soon as possible
2.Testing Arnold's music script
3.Replaced game icon ,if someone wants to change clock and weather they are welcome to it.
really nice "deviation/varient"...
WP7 is not out , lot of user are already boring... boring.... So funny...
You got a nice back stylish concept.... kee it up good work...
