You're my boy blue!!!
Man, here you are again with the icons, I'm excited! I just gave my Touch the Diamond overhaul today.
My suggestion on the style would be to either keep it the way you have (I personally use the grayscale effect in UL on the icon touch) or have the icon image in grayscale with the Diamond green font, I believe it's an emerald color.

WIcKED
I agree. I would like to see the grey scale my self. I'm starting the diamond express on my touch as we speak. Your the man blue. Oh by the way, thanks for all the support you've showed in the General Questions thread. Keep up the good work.

thanks for your feedback.
okay here is another test.
But i think we need some color, but text or picture ? Both would be too much.

ChANGED My MinD
Actually , I changed my mind. I just started gettin some of the home screens on my touch, and I would actually much rather use the Opera in red. I would really like to see both. You couldn't really get it perfect unless you could mix it up with the grey scale and the color's.

How about instead of the gray outline, use the green, with the colored icon and black font?

mmh, after some sleeping, i thing the first thought is often the best, i will make some icons for testing with grey text and colored symbols and try them also in vga
question: what iconsize do you need for vga , 64 x 64 ?

definitely both vga and qvga.
My perfect icons would have
1. Color variants: Black and White
2. Highlight/Border color: Green for White, White/Gray for Black
3. No Text, Only Images
4. Images in Gray/Black/White (I prefer un-colored)
Thanks mate.

as some of you may know i was making about 340 icons for my last set. so making this new one with black and white background would be too much for one man, because this will last weeks or months.
so i will do the white background because i like this clean white style that is so different to all this black styles here in the community.
but i will do more tests and again some questions:
1 do you need the icons also highlighted and for what app ??
2 what size do you need for vga ??

Update see first Post !

I like.... Can you put a small YouTube in your CorePlayer icon?

Can you please make some QVGA ones for Kaiser? Thanks

54 Icons are Ready, also new coreplayer with youtube.
See first Post

I have a few requests if possible:
netfront, active sync, spb backup, slingplayer and ewallet. Also, if you could possibly post the icons in .ico format for ultimate launch. Thanks in advance, your icons always rock!

Blue, always making my PPC eye candy. Love the work man! I would say use the same apps from the prev set.
@m_kranzler11: blue listed the site to download software to convert to .ico
Love the "AC/DC" on the sounds icon! Cause I'm back in black..

Diamond Icons in .ico for UltimateLaunch
Here is the first set in .ico.
Enjoy!
And of course, thanks to blue!

Icons are far too small for Ultimatelaunch. Can you make it 48x48?

great work on the icons

They are in 48x48, .ico images have different size sets included in one, did you adjust the size in UL?
Trust me they work, there on my Touch right now.

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.

[Theme] Phenom - JF 1.42 RC33L / *Updated Feb 18th, 09*

Before installing this theme you must have the Lite version of JF 1.42 RC33, which can be found here.
This is my most complete theme thus far which includes icons, a menu bar, status bar images, etc. (Even a custom blue android during bootup)
My wife directed this theme and gave tips which probably made it better
If theres anything you notice that needs to be corrected or if you have suggestions, please leave feedback. Thanks!
Download - Theme (Updated - 2/18/2009)
Download - Wallpaper
Updates:
- Trimmed bottom line from menu launcher.
- Changed menu launcher arrows to white rather than transparent.
- Corrected folder distortion.
- Corrected Wallpaper Gallery crash.
- Corrected landscape mode menu arrows. (New)

downloading now, will give feedback after I gave it a good walk through...looks great from the screen shot.

there is no pictures icon....other than that its cool. really slick and i love the clock.
Any chance on going systemwide with this likethe buuf themes and the vintage themes? cause this looks realllllly good.

Thanks for the feedback, yea i'm having trouble finding the pictures icon file lol, still searching though. I do plan on going systemwide and adding more to it little by little.

well keep it up....great work.
Im also not personally a fan of the status bar. but only because im not a fan of gradients, doesnt really detract from the theme at all.

I've located the pictures icon and will have an update in a few mins. I'm pretty sure i'll be changing the status bar and drop down bar to match the clock a bit more.

aiight, love the changes...one flaw now...the top bar for the folders....must be coded wrong or something because once selected it becomes distorted severely. I'll post a screenshot.

Thats why we dont edit .9.png files, unless you know the technique that someone has posted here somewhere.

well hopefully he figures it out or someone helps him out with it....its a good theme. and if he figures it out and goes system wide it could be a GREAT theme.

Up until this point, I've never seen a theme that looked slick enough to actually use, without being too niche. I've been tirelessly searching for a theme that just looked good, but wasn't too over-the-top. However, this theme struck me as just that, and installing it as my first theme, I must say I'm impressed.
I only have two complaints -- firstly, as mentioned, the top of the folder menu becomes distorted when selected. Secondly, I would like to see the blue color scheme more deeply integrated into the phone, replacing the orange color when making a selection, if possible. I recall seeing it in a theme somewhere else, so I believe it can be done. I know working with the .9. files are tricky, but I feel that with a little more effort, this can be an A+ theme.
Changing the music icons (Artists, Albums, Songs, and Playlists) would also be nice, if only changing the icons from green to blue.
Also, I find the background to be just a little too much. I think this one would make a good default; it meshes nicely with the color scheme:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=150891&d=1233074919

Thanks all for the feedback, its appreciated. Ill definately fix up the folder bar and start incorporating some additional icons to the music window & player, etc. Ill post an update soon today with the changes for the folder.

Excellent looking theme, honestly its beautiful, but I always have trouble downloading from megaupload so maybe if you could change the filehosting site to something more convenient that would be awesome. Don't stop making themes, you clearly have a gift 8D

I generally don't post a lot of feedback. I have just recently started my first theme. And didn't feel that posting feedback till I was contributing to the site was truely justified. (My upcoming theme is a US Presidential theme. With heads of presidents as icons....hopefully I can manage it.)
Back on topic now. I love the theme. It is my newest downloaded theme and my favorite. My only notice is when you go "menu" "wallpaper" "wallpaper gallery" it force closes android desktop. When I choose pictures instead of gallery it works perfect. I know its small, but thought I would let you know. Even with this, I love the theme. Wife wants to know if you have it in Pink, lol. Keep up the great work.

One other issue I've noticed with the theme is that on the very, very bottom of the home screen, there's a bright blue line going across horizontally -- the top of the pull-out drawer. While this may have been your intention, I personally find it a bit distracting. Just my opinion. I feel the theme would be a tad bit better-looking if the line was simply not there, like with the stock appearance.

I've made alot of the changes requested. There still are many changes to come.

other than that...the wallpaper gallery and the folder fix everything seems exactly the same.
still a great theme.

Great theme .... i just wish it was red....

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'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

[THEMES and ICONS] Icons set F Black&White + template

Hi everybody!
First of all, I am using Buzz Launcher, which means that my "themes" are made following specific parameters such as the grid size, no labels, etc.
But I think that other launchers allow you to customize your appearence as well.
My phone resolution is 854*480.
I had a 720p one but had to send it back, so for now I can't work on that resolution anymore.
So for those having higher resolutions, well I don't know what the result would be on your screens. Except for wallpapers, I guess icons would be displayed well.
Before sharing my files, I'd like to show you what I've done so far and get your opinion: if you like it or not, what I could/should change, etc.
This to get a nice final result.
And obviously I won't and never will sell those resources because:
- I'm using some stuff such as photographs from other persons
- Some icons are directly made from other icons you can find on the Play Store or Google Image
- I'm here to share
To be edited later (once I have posted 10 messages and can freely post direct links):
I. Icons only
II. Backgrounds only
III. Themes: icons + backgrounds
I. ICONS
II. BACKGROUNDS
III. THEMES

Hey!
One of my nicest try so far: a panda theme! (I love pandas)
The panda is partially made from an iPhone game icon named Land-a-panda (see the attached pictures).
Those icons are for HD displays (720p): 144x144. Work fine on lower resolutions.
And I've "made" a few backgrounds too, giving quite a cool result when used with those icons.
Also, because it's quite boring to always have the same face, I just added 2 other kinds of eyes (see Viber and Video Player icons).
What do you think? Worth sharing them?
Any idea welcome

Let's keep up the monologue.
Seems not be be very interesting. Whatever, I'm sharing my work anyway.
Let's begin with the icons:
192 icons (64 app with 3 different kinds of pandas), pretty high quality: 144x144. See the sample below.
And if you are wondering: yes, it took me ages to save each file.
I'll share the Photoshop template once I can post direct links (man that's some weird annoying policy!), so that you can create your own icons without having to wait for updates (as I may not update this theme anyway).
If you give it a try, please share some photos/screenshots
ZIP file size: 3.62Mb
Note: if you find the icons resolution too high (say you want a 96px² size), you can use a (free) software such as ImRe to massively convert the whole folder. It perfectly and quickly does the job.
Laterz

Hey oi!
New icons, "copied" from a screenshot I saw somewhere (I think it's called themer, it's new and not compatible with all phones (not my X720D).
So here we go, 3 samples and the template file (PSD, Photoshop CS5).
The PSD is made as follow:
- A folder with the white pictures representing the icons (that's the part you really need to work on if you want to make your own icons)
- The icon's shadow (layer)
- The icon's color (layer), locked to the edit mode (you pick your color, use the brush tool and paint: it will paint ONLY the visible pixels).

Theme 5: Japanology (again)
The principle of this theme is simple: the background is the main deal, then there just needs to add the app and choose a transparent PNG to make them invisible.
Main problem with that theme: icons cannot be replaced, which means you must always keep the same applications on your screen.
edit: well it seems that uploading pictures isn't working at the moment. My PC or the servers, I don't know. I'l try to re-upload later if it keeps showing a 404.

Hum there seems to be a problem with uploading pictures from the forum. Even after having edited my post 2 times.
Hoho but I found a way to post links without having 10 posts: quotation (I hope you won't mind)
Click on each picture to enlarge it. See the above post for more information about how to use that "theme" (Buzz Launcher); Note that you must create your own date/time/battery widget (as in the screenshot below).
