Hi, this is the XPERIA X1 forum and I believe we are missing a place to read/learn/discuss/share information regarding PANELS DEVELOPMENT.
After all, PANELS is the great innovation (and opportunity) brought by the Xperia X1
I'll start this thread by pointing some basic downloads
I hope to help and motivate others to get involved, to read, learn and start developing some cool stuff - who knows ?? Maybe xda-devs could win Sony's developers award this year

My first 2 cents:
You can learn how to create panels in less than 5 mins (well... almost ) HERE
PS: PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS AND PANEL DEVELOPING XPERIANCES

cool.. that "here" link has a link to HERE
Besides the fact that I lack real programming skills I do think that html panels are too limited... with some lite flash version you could do cool visual stuff.. now the main thing you can do is make shortcut to programs and webpages... who cares?
Or did I read too fast and van we build a full smooth moving TF3D kinda thing?

Thanx friend!
You're righ nixx-x1
That's was my primary question when I started this thread
Am I limited to html (some images and shortcuts...) developing or not ??
And here's another link to an ONLINE PANELS CREATOR with tutorial:
http://www.mysonyericssonblog.com/x1panelcreator/index.php?lang=en
Read instructions and press "continue" at the bottom of the page
"To build a html panel, the bare minimum files are:
1- 4 Screenshots (landscape, portrait, large landscape, large portrait). These are the images you will see into the panels grid on your phone, or when the panel will be loading. Each screenshot must be in BMP 24 (windows bitmap, 24 bits per pixel) format, otherwise the device will not show them. The screenshots must have the following sizes:
Landscape: 200x94 px
Portrait: 120x174 px
Large portrait:240x348 px
Large landscape: 400x188 px
2- A file called index.html (the panel itself) with some content"
And here's a link to download some small, simple DEMO PANEL guts
Let's start
Buienradar
I had made some panels with the HTML-panel generator and found out that the buttons were responding badly. I believe to have solved this problem with the HTML-panel generator by adding a little mouse-over script:
<a href="link.html" onMouseOver="parent.location='link.html'">
For an example you can download my dutch weather panel:
{
"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"
}
Unfortunatly the panel-generator only accept max. 23 files so I had to left out some backgrounds. You can add them by downloading this zipfile and add the files manually in the 'buienradar' directory.

html links to storage card exe files
I have been struggling to make links to exe files on the storage card work (as well as some non /windows directory exe files.
Have used %CE2% links and similar to start files, but not getting it to work.
Am working on a four page html panel and once get the basics right wold like to take this to the next level.
Could someone take a look at the attached html page and let me know where I am going wrong/what the fix is, please!
(I intend making the final version available for all to edit to their own links/software and basically just use the ui as a worked up base.)

gtrab,
The \Storage Card\... approach was my first chosen route but would not work. I will try the "%StorageCard%" route tonight.
Also, cheers for the comprehensive list of metabase settings.

hi everyone,
since december i'm proud like you to have the kaiser from htc. i've spend still hour on hour modding my kaiser and reading all interesting informations that here is offered by you. and hell you all make a good job here!
so i want to give you something back and here it is:
i've taken the vista startupscreen before you logon from a few well hidden dll's and extracted the relevant images and sound.
example only!
{
"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"
}
it's animated! original size!
installation:
make a new .txt-file with notepad and copy & paste everything below in and rename the txt-file to whatever.reg:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\StartupAnimation]
"Volumn"=dword:00000064
"WAVFile"="\\Windows\\Windows_Vista_Startsound.wav"
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"GIFFile"="\\Windows\\animated.gif"
"Priority"=dword:000000C8
or you can take the file i made called "Startup.reg"
then copy "animated.gif" and "Windows_Vista_Startsound.wav" in your systemdirectory called "\Windows\" and overwrite the existing "animated.gif". if you want, you can make a backup of the original htc-logo animation gif. if you encounter problems to paste those files, try the resco file explorer instead of windows mobile explorer.
my zip-file contains the following:
- animated.gif -> vista-logo animation
- Startup.reg -> execute this and it will add the startup music and volume to your registry
- Windows_Vista_Startsound.wav -> yes! the original from ms
if you want the newest file, please download vista-startup_on_kaiser_v3.zip
V1
- first version
V2
- i've changed the timing of sound and animation to make both fit togehter a bit more. for now, i think its close to perfect. but make your own try.
V3
- improved image color quality. now it looks like eye candy ;-)
- loudness reduced
- fixed timing
hint: you can also download my source and project files here, to make your own great startup logo
lemme give it a try...always kinda like that animated vista orb..
Great job!
I will use it in my new ROM, thank you !!!
thanks
but i think the timing sound/orb isn't perfect. i will try to make it more perfect, but today its new year's eve and that means i've to guzzle lot of beers
How do you execute Startup.reg
How do you execute Startup.reg? I copied it to My Documets and click it but got an error. I have a progam called MobileRegistryEditor but it on't let me edi he registry, just view it.
Thanks!

hi osokona,
it's like under windows desktop os. simply click the .reg and windows will ask you if you're sure to add.
if this isn't working for you, something with your windows mobile is wrong or a setting from third party program.
if you have a registry editor, you can add the values by hand
That's real cute... cept that it doesn't care what your system volume is set at... it's loud as hell at 1am.

change the "volumn" setting e.g.
Code:
"Volumn"=dword:00000064
remember: set the value in hex not decimal
i want it as load as possible, so e.g. every it-freak who knows windows vista on train or whereever i am, hopefully thinks i've got really windows vista on my mobilephone (spoof people)
just did this on my tilt..thanks!
Works awesome kudos dude
Great Work!!!
I just installed it on my TMO HTC Wing. Works great. Thanks!!
Great Job.
Its works & its cool thanks a lot.
Can someone build a cab for this?
Here, I`ve build a cab of V2
Please let me know if it works... ( I didn`t test it, but it should work )
Installing now...
Slow, laggy, off timed, but cool nontheless!!!
Agreed, GIF animation is a bit slow.. Maybe if pause between frames are reduced a bit, it will look better..
Anyway to shrink down the size of the orb so the resolution is better?
I took the plunge and made the animation quicker.. I`ve tried my best to sync sound too, but unfortunately my device won`t play startup sound due to ROM bug..
I don`t know why Hermes turns white when this animation is finished, then flashes, then shows welcome png, is this same on Kaiser too ?
Here is the faster version.. I hope it is synced good..

the original vista orb, as shown on first page, is high resoultion. when i make the animation with "easy gif animator" he reduced colors :-(
in photoshop everything is ok, because ps uses selective colors instead of web-safe-colors
if someone knows a program to make a better animation or will try itself here are the source files in bitmap and optimized gif's from adope photoshop -> download moved to first post!
edit:
now i know who to create an animated gif in adobe photoshop cs3 (honest, since version cs3 it sucks really. shame on you adobe), but it will me take some hours. this means: expect the better image quality end of week or maybe next week.
stay tuned and check here again for updated news.
----------------------------------------
whats new ?:
- this is a nearly original wheee theme, all credits for Idea and look go to Ufufu and i use again the sticker icons, other grafics and background made by me. This theme has new topbar graphics and a new missed calls-icon that will come to snowwhite and free! theme with next update (This 3 sticker-iconsthemes use exactly the same xmls only the backgrounds are different)
----------------------------------------
I recommend to do this SETTINGS for your ppc:
(how to: open the xml or txt files with with "totalcommander", or on your PC with "windows Editor", make the following changes, choose "save" (NOT "save as.."), put xmls or txt files back in the theme folder of you PPC and restart todaylife.)
Edit the config.xml :
1. go down to "emaildefaultparam" and there you find:"freenet.de". Replace this with the name of your account.
2. go down to CalendarAction and set it to 1 (=default windows mobile Calendar) otherwise my settings open thumbcal !
3. go down to time format and change it to 12 or 24
4. go to SMS Action and set it to 0 if you don want to open pocketcm
5. you can do more changes (SMS Alarm settings/Lock-settings), they are explained in the xml !
6. change language in the appointments: open the portrait.xml and the landscape.xml . You will find this text:
<Today>Heute</Today>
<Tomorrow>Morgen</Tomorrow>
<AllDay>.....</AllDay>
<MultiDay>.....</MultiDay>
change this four words in this lines to any language
7. change the date format in both portrait.xml and landscape.xml: <Format>dddd, d. MMMM yyyy</Format>
8. add the name and path of you applications for the launcher in the "Applications.txt". Can be ".exe" or ".lnk" and works also with parameters.
9. To open with the launcher directly your favorite webside with you favorite browser:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2538839#post2538839

FAQ:
1. what is this ?
- this are my qvga themes (also Landscape support) for the FAST FULLSCREEN Software/GUI "todayLife" made by DAZZLINGDAZ. Today life is a brilliant new Software like rltoday or batterystatus, but will get much more functions and is much easier to costumize: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407900
2. how to install and what additional software do i need ?
- you need nothing more. i works with wm 6.0 and wm 6.1 with NetFramework 2.0 or 3.5. And no need to install !!! unzip the folder put it on your phone and start the todaylife.exe. If you dont like it delete just the folder thats it.
3. What is working till now ? :
- not everything, test it, but i update this skin everytime that there are some new functions for you.
4. I´m having bugs/Problems/Ideas ?
- if you have a bug/Problem/Idea or want to modify my theme and dont know how: post it here, if its not running or you have a request to the programmer post it in the above thread.
5. Can you make this theme to VGA ?
- no sorry i cant, i don´t have the time and biggest Problem: i dont have a vga device for testing the graphics here. But todaylife works well with VGA.
6. I dont come out of some windows ?
- slide to the left side

Congratulations on your first skin for the todaylife engine! Very well done!!
thank you.
Let me say some addional words:
- credits for some of the used graphics (especially Backgrounds) go to steve jobs
- i use some freeware icons from RuizDesign and use their psd-file for creating own Icons. thank you
- and yes it looks like a iphone skin, and this should be so.
Hi Blue,
Congrats on the new thread. Unfortunately, it mean that I'll have to follow 2 threads instead of Daz's only. Oh well.....
Excellent work!
A pity you don't have a VGA device.
Hope somebody with free time on their hands can VGA-ize it.

nice work blue!
Congratulations, good work. Could you make a theme that will have more "HTC looks"? Something like HTC Home? Thanks again for this great theme.
this is actually a very nice theme i must say!
to this day ive never heard of "TodayLife", but i can guarantee u this..im gonna give it a try..
the theme looks good, not too heavy to dark or too bright..actually looks similar to a MS2.1 theme ive seen before lol
ill give it a run, and definitely will provide some feedback!
kudos to all who created the app and the skinners/artists!
I'm glad you keep on improving your skin. I've included the previous version in one of my custom rom. And I was waiting for a new one since BS can manage plugins.
Thank You!
Guys - to change a skin pack to a different resolution takes time!!! the icons may be too small for starters - BUT - you can change most of it yourself - simply by editing the portrait.xml and landscape.xml and making all the X and Y coordinates double - S(ize) attributes for things like the calendar can be doubled too
Example (this is from the xml and is for the bit that displays the current date)
<Date>
<P>1</P>
<X>90</X>
<Y>45</Y>
<Align>CENTRE</Align>
<R>200</R>
<G>0</G>
<B>200</B>
<S>10</S>
<Format>dddd d MMMM, yyyy</Format>
</Date>
To go VGA for this :
<Date>
<P>1</P>
<X>180</X>
<Y>90</Y>
<Align>CENTRE</Align>
<R>200</R>
<G>0</G>
<B>200</B>
<S>20</S>
<Format>dddd d MMMM, yyyy</Format>
</Date>
This doubles the xpos , ypos - and doubles the size of the font - it really is that simple!
thanks you very much , great work
one question
this is a great theme just a couple of questions
first off how do you unlock it,
second theres nothing on the music or programs tab how do i change this?
thanks
I am still developing the program - so it is correct that some tabs are empty - this is by design and allows for expansion as I develop.
Please read the development thread for more info.
The unlock sequence is 4 seperate guestures : ^, >, \/, <
Can someone post more screenshots. I can't see the original for some reason.
Also, is there a collection of themes for this new program yet?
Thanks!
By the way - apart form the skinners...it's just me developing LOL - so if you request something and it doesn't get done straight away - it's cause there isn't a large team of monkeys bashing keyboards....just me...and I, unfortunately, have to sleep sometimes (although very rarely)

i attach a preview of the vga version i have to make working something more..
buttons are ok now i must work beside text and fonts dimension maybe something cold work
When i click the speaker icon my screen darkens, but i dont get a volume control. I have to reset the phone to get out of it. Anyone else have this problem?
okay, thank you all:
but again some words:
- creating or ripping and fitting these graphics needs about 40 hours. so i will not and dont want to make a quick htc skin.
- everyone is welcome to create own themes.
- this is a thread is just for this theme/skin. if you want more functions, want to know how it works or have a technical problem or want a different Design please go to the thread of Dazzlingdazz, he is the brilliant programmer of the software.
- to unlock slide to top, then to right, then to bottom then to left.

UPDATE:
New release WAD2 (RC13) - 21/09/2008
New release HS++ (Version 1.06 - build 0342) - 21/09/2008
Hi,
This theme was build with a combination of several softwares:
* Wisbar Advance Desktop 2 (WAD2)
This is a beta version that right now are in phase RC13
http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13570
* HomeScreen PlusPlus UI
Version 1.06 - build 0342 - 19/09/2008:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=114366&d=1221856346
* Retro Clock
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344870
Now i'm going to try to explain the screens that you can see down!!
All the pages are from WAD2 but some of them have plugins added:
{
"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"
}
* Clock Page - Wad2 + Retro Clock Plugin
* Settings Page - Wad2
* Office Page - Wad2
* Weather pages - Wad2
* Applications Page - Wad2 + HomeScreen PlusPlus UI Plugin
If you prefere a digital clock instead of analogic you can make one in WAD2 because you have the Clockrow and the numbers, inside images folder, to build.
INSTALATION NOTES:
First you must install the 3 softwares that i mention in the beginning of the post. Only after that you go to the installation of the themes.
Download the Zimaia5_Theme.zip from this links:
http://w15.easy-share.com/1701370094.html
or
http://rapidshare.com/files/141131011/Zimaia5_Theme.zip.html
- WAD2 Theme:
First you must run Wad2 at least one time to generate the themes folder inside wad2 installation folder because wad2 is a RC10 version and does not came with any theme therefore initial the themes folder doesn't exist but after you run one time wad2 generates that folder.
Copy the Zimaia5 folder and place inside themes folder of wad2 installation folder
Then run wad2 and follow the installation images.
- HomeScreen PlusPlus UI theme:
Copy the two files inside HS++PlusPlus folder and place them inside HS++ folder installation, if in wad2 nothing shows up in applications page follow the installation images
- Retro Clock Theme:
Install cab that are inside Retro Clock folder and then place the skin files inside retro installation folder. If the clock doesn't show up in clockpage of wad2 follow the installation images. You must also go to today settings of windows mobile and in retro clock options, change the skin to Zimaia5 skin.
Enjoy
beautifull , great work thank you very much
I'm having a problem because the folder Zimaia5 of WAD2 original have 2 subfolder with the weather images but i had to remove that folders because the upload fails.

Just portrait for now because HS++ only will have landscape suport in version 1.07. The actual version is 1.06
Added screen of digital clock and installation images to help people that are not familiar with this softwares
Now the download of the theme is under a easy-share link because i had a lot of problems to upload the theme in attach.
cheers

well my device is running wm6 so i suppose any device running wm6 should work fine with this theme. This theme is not index to a manufacturer but index to windows mobile. Any device running windows mobile 6.0 or 6.1 are ok, i guess

Well, xda is definitely a "must be" place isn't it?
Excuse me...
I actually tried last night....but i couldn't get it to work.....probably my lousy knowledge , does anyone know the step-by-step installation which can share...
thanks a lot
Great design!! Thanks for sharing!1 A couple of questions:
1) how much RAM memory approximately does all this setup take (including WAD, and all other plugins you've used)?
2) Can you change the profile easily from the main page? I can't see a volume or profile icon
3) Is there a page for contacts / quick dialing??
4) Can you add extra today plugins I'm currently using inside WAD?
Thanks!

Thanks KamaL,
1- In my device all the theme is current eating 2,6mb
2- Well, wad2 it's a hight customizable application and ofcourse changing quickly profile is one of the available options. It is only a mater of placing anywhere an icon and add to that icon the profile script command. In my case i don´t have that command defined but actually i don't have even half of the options that wad2 give me I think the best option is install wad2 and ckeck what you can do with it. You will be surprised with this!!!
3- My device is a Asus P750 that have a physical T9 keyboard so i didn't implement the contacts page because i spend much less time using smart dialing with T9, however you can add that page and use the speed dial options of wad2, later i will post the contacts page with the matching design of this theme
4- You can add all the plugins you wont, ofcourse you must prepare the wad2 layout to receive that plugins but you can do it, no problem!!
Hi TL lovers.

Moon phases (You can adjust them to your geographical location in config)
Weather in home page (optional)
SMS preview in home page (optional)

Add Album covers and click on them to open music player of your choice.
SMS Preview in "home's scrolling main window among clock moon and weather. (Click on message to refresh for viewing new messages. It doesn't refresh automatically)
Customize home page buttons (the ones above footer strip) in ThrottleConfig. They may not work at first so you have to set them in ThrottleConfig for your very own applications names and paths.
Click moon icon when first theme installation for first moon phase or just wait for next day.
Rumball, tank you for your themes contributions. They encouraged me to do something better although not as good as yours. Feel free to use my lunar phases algorithm if you like it

Same to me.

Sorry for the inconveniences. I have problems trying to upload the file to XDA Forum. Some how the file gets corrupted so download it from the link provided in first post. It is the plain "Setups\BBSmart2D" directory. No cab file anymore.

Never mind!! It was worth waitting . It's working great if executed from Main storage. Has some problems though if executed from SD or internal memeory. The problem is it's using #$THROTTLE#\Setups\BBSmart2D instead of #$THEME_BASE# to reference paths . After correcting this works great placed anywhere!!
Great work!! Thanks!!
P.S. I attach my moded XMLs .

Thanks.

It is a lot of work. I will be looking for some spear time.
I think it should just remove weather from main page and replace from Plugin tab or another tab?
Can you post a cab file so i can just select it within the throttle launcher morph? If not please explain what the steps are to select this.

Think that you are changing pages when you scroll your watch to see weather and player. Why would you like to have weather in an other page while it is actually in an other panel that behaves like an other page?

I like use Rumball's animated weather skin for weatherpanel but when I check use weatherpanel checkbox in your theme when home page start not working. Maybe the solve is to move weather to other page or maybe you have other solutions?

I really like the look of this theme, but is there a way to remove the sidebar?
GREAT WORK
THANKs Chpoubs
THANKs apothehouse
Fantastic ! I love this theme
very nice my friend
Any screenshots please?
can someone post a mirror for this download. i want the black theme but the link is not working right. and does this theme come in english?
Thanks Apothehouse, love the theme, I have been looking for a light theme for awhile.
Couple of points I would love to change, if you could advised me how to:
1. your vista orb gives a list of apps, ok just realize it is picking up the apps from program list I created (so if I arrange my list to have the ones I want to show up then they will be in the list when I press the ORB...cool
2. ok then my next (first since the first was not a question at all , is their a way to cut the list down to 6 apps showing instead of 7 (the last app covers the ORB - see screenshot) unless it is possible to move the whole popup upwards above the SPB3 taskbar? (would be great if the Vista ORB was visable and we could tap on it again to close the menu)
3 (2) is it possible to have the Program tab show when first clicking on programs instead of the SPB Menu tab.
EDIT: actually looking at your screenshots, the popup menu is suppose to popup above the taskbar, my setup seems to be different (and yes I did DL & Install the VGA version onless the DL files were mixed up)
@ wmontae : no mirror please, it's a exclu for mobilecustom
ok i got it 2 work now...
thanks anyway for this great theme

I've heard that you should leave your SpbMobileShellLoc.zip intact - that's where the language settings are.

When you have install SPB MS3, install the cab of wmseven and if you want the black version overwrite the files in your ppc with the files of black version

Thanks for the Reply Apothehouse, but for number 2 I think you might have misunderstood me, I know that button will soft reset but that is not what I meant to close I meant to close your menu popup (so what I mean I click on the Vista Orb icon to open your menu and then click on your Visat Orb again to close it if I decide not to use it) but when you look at me screenshot the last program in the menu covers the Vista Orb.
3. Yes I mean to open the Favorite page.

Oh sorry, but it's only for 6 shortcuts and not 7. Look my screen 2 post before
And for the point 3
you can edit Menubar.xml in qa_layout.dat and replace :SPBMENU by :LAUNCHER
