Windows Mobile 6.5: turn off honeycomb? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

I'm running a ROmwhich has the honeycomb icon layout. I find it terrible. It's so hard to find anything, it looks cluttered and confusing... Is there a way to get it to list things as a grid instead?

Yes there is a app available that will show everything in a list, unfortunately I can't remember the name but you should be able to find it via the search option.

I'm also desperately looking to disable the HoneyComb effect... I hear the economy is bad and some jobs need to be lost. I'd start with whoever came up with that.

I've searched and I can't find anything. It's possibly the worst idea Microsoft have come up with since that ridiculous paperclip. It's a mess.
I'm going back to 6.1 until one of the rom wizards finds a fix for it. Unless this thread comes up with one.

I will be posting a new one in that thread in a few minutes once i get landscape fixed

I second the OP question regarding the return to the simple grid system. A list is good, but not as good

Need a clock

I know I don't have any posts so I expect some grief but what is out there for just clocks? I don't like having a lot of stuff on the screen so I don't want to use the HTC home, I would like something that just has some analog clocks on it but I am having trouble finding anything. I saw a couple people that had some screenshots of them but no info. BTW I am using this vista ultimate theme so something kind of sleek would be cool(no cartoon clocks)
BTW, I have used the search on here so I don't need anybody to post that a million times. Anything you guys have would be appreciated.

With this also you can change font size and put any font you want to it... Take a closer look...
get the today plugin from here:
http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_batterystatus_xda_neo_wm5_ext_im_cs.htm
the customisation part is how you go about, well customising the clock etc:
http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_batterystatus_xda_neo_wm5_ext_cust_im_cs.htm
Let me know if you want my theme/clock and ill post the xml up... becuase i tweaked it to include bluetooth/wifi status as well as the graphic to make it look like the OEM wireless plugin....

Got the answer, asked some other cheffs. And there are just a few .png files that can be changed. It's really easy. Only problem for me is that I don't have any nice pictures to change with. My own photoshop skills aren't that great lol. So If any great designer can help me. Please contact me by pm.
i'm a pretty good designer myself so... let's PM ;p
guys have a look in the applications and themes section.
it's been done

Lava themed HTC IME keyboard mod.

So, I was bored this morning and I created a skinned HTC IME mod using Gimpsta's theme generator found here: http://www.gimpsta.com/themerlo/main.php
I did it using a key template I made and a simple filter using GIMP 2, along with the "transparent" key options on the themer. Hoping to make a tutorial soon on how I did it cause it's pretty cool.
Here is what it looks like. (download link below screenshots)

Amazing Work! Im gonna try this as soon as my phone comes back from repair
That is god damn horrible.
Niclas90 just be warned, since the "buttons" are made on the background image itself, the compact QWERTY and the number/symbol boards don't line up well, but if you rarely use those, like myself, then you may not mind it.
Detol Loki, I am sorry you do not like it. I know it is a crazy design, but on my phone it is actually perfectly legible with the background. But I understand not everyone will like it.
Lastly, if any mods wouldn't mind. I posted this on android forums too and was told I couldn't post the link to the IME since it isn't part of the open source stuff. Please let me know if this is an issue here as well. It never crossed my mind before, since I have seen so many links all over the place to modded IME's. If it is a problem please accept my apologies and remove the download link from my post. My goal is not to cause any trouble anywhere.

newbie who needs alot of help.

im new to android and im wanting to customize my captivate. i have launcher pro plus and ive tried to download a few icons and it says it cant open the file. the main one i remember doing is the silver ring on the birdman icons. can anyone help me to like a how to of some sort on how to get things going in the right direction or something.
Well i would start by rooting your phone. Im not sure but i think alot of themes ans icon packs require root. I am on my phone now so cant post links for you. But look for the one click app. Its easy to do.
i rather not root is there somethings i can do without rooting right now.

There is an app on the market called launcher pro icons. You have to pay for it but it is relatively cheap. Here is a sample

Those are close but not the same.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Look like the same to me...
Phone one is the same... the others are differant.

those look like Launcher pro icons there are tons of those white low opacity icons floating around probably why its hard to find try getting the app launcher pro icons there are a ton in there you might find the one your looking for they also have a website if you want to look through there database and just grab the icons you want if they're there!
I might be able to help you but i can barely see those icons your trying to find to actually distinguish between them..Like the guy above there are many that look the same so hard with a small pic to match them like that!

Give me your email, I have these installed on my phone and they are in the icons thread but they are deep in there and it would probably take a while to go through that entire thread. I think I have the name of the zip on my computer at home but I am at work and wont be off until 4 if you want to wait.
I have been looking for these as well.
Edit: Nevermind found it on Deviant Art. Give the creator props
