Look for claunch it's the first adress regarding freeware and able to customize.
Or O2 Plus tools. It's free, too. ;-)

thanks! thats very close to what im looking for, is there a way to make it run today plug-ins inside the tabs, that was the main feature i was looking for from spb shell.

hmm as far as I know there is no free Plugin with Tabs which can contain plugins itself.
But if anyone knows one, I'm interested myself. ;-)

it doesnt really need to be free, but spending 30 dollers on a full featured plugin when i am only interested in one of the features is like buying a brand new 2008 mustang just to take the door off it and put the door on the mustang i already had, but it is only 30 bucks...

Pocket Breeze ;-)
It's my favorite plugin, although it costed something. But it's worth every buck. ;-)

is that what the following today screen is using? how do I get an image to cover the entire screen like the following today screen.

i don't remember.. pocketmusic(?) with fallout skin? it was almost 3 yrs ago lol...
bottom bar is not disabled... it is default wm03 menubar skinned with icbar(wa2-like wm03 program). also icbar skinned taskbar, middle pic is just theme.

get 240x320 px picture,
cut first 26 px from top,save,
cut 26 px from bottom,save,
save what is left,
use WA2 to set these 26 px cuts onto bars(i dont really know if WA2 can set bottom one, if not, WAD is needed to recreate "real" bar while real one is turned off..i never used WA2..eh).
here's landscape problem i assume - do not know if WA2 can set different bars texture..for portrait/landscape,
make theme to match both P/L orientations, set it - with WAD+WA just set what you get after cut top and bottom(268x240 px or so...eh) as wallpaper, same for landscape.
i am not sure, that it is correct english...kill me if i am babbling..

i downloaded WAD. its amazing! now i see how everyone has been doing thier skins

How to get HTC Home Screen for AT&T Tilt?

I want the HTC Home Screen (with the big clock and shortcuts) on my Tilt. Where can I find it? How do I install it? Will it mess with the AT&T ROM?
Thanks.

here you go sir. im only giving you this one because the 6 button version always seems to put my phone on vibrate when i dont want it. so heres the one that works. it will not mess your phone up. install to the phone. enjoy.

Thanks
Thank you very very much!
I've never done this, how do I install?

Move the .cab to your phone - use File Manager on your phone to browse to where you put the file - run the file by clicking on it

I installed the cab, but I dont see anything different...do I need to change any setting after installing? Will this give me the weather on the Today screen?

reset the device
reset then go to settings, today, items, and select the correct plug_in.

I did that, and have the HTC plugin checked...just wondering what im supposed to be seeing...anybody have a screenshot?
What about the weather...How do I get that?

Yeah here it is,
Ignore the watermark, couldnt find a handy/free screenshot
anyway for weather, if you want your own city its another story.
There is one good tutorial for that on the forums, just have to look
*edit whoops images didnt go through, let me crop them

Just select a different theme for the today screen.

I want to try this on my new AT&T Tilt. But can it be uninstalled? In case I change my mind? In the past, I downloaded one of the HTC Home Plug-in CABs from this site, and I had to hard-reset to get rid of it...

quick question, what plugin are you using to show the state of the connections (phone, wifi and bluetooth) ,I don't recognise it

WIRLESS TODAY PLUGIN
:] you guys should really try the cabs duttythroy put together

HTC Home with Contacts
I downloaded the HTC Home cab listed in this string and it appears to work just fine. I need to tweak it (i.e. - add more cities to the weather file as well as add the programs on the program screen), but what I really miss is the Conatcts screen ... the one where you have 9 pictures that are one touch dialing in that tab. Does a .cab exit for HTC Home with the four tabs instead of the three?
I ran the 6 button on and 8125 and HATED the fact that it arbitrarily changed my phone to vibrate mode. But I'd really enjoy the contacts tab.
Thanks!

Battery Bar ...
I also downloaded the .cab listed in this string for the battery bar in the header (for lack of better term). I placed it on the phone and ran it, then the phone rebooted ... nothing. I executed the .cab a second time, was told the previous version would be uninstalled, it installed and rebooted again ... nothing.
I picked the QVGA version of the bars, not solid. I may try solid next but I can't imagine that would correct any issues. Just wanted to post that it didn't work for me.

[FIX]Time zone problem [Not sure if it works]

Ok I've seen through some threads that there is a problem with the Time showing on Manila clock.
I use this kind of trick but I'm not sure if it'll work for you guys.
1) Go in manila clock, right softkey and choose "Local Time Settings".
2) Settings tab, left softkey "All settings" and go under System then open Clock & Alarms.
3) When you reach "Clock & Alarms", click on "Time" tab in the lower part and you should see that the "Home clock" is set to something like GMT +1 Cent Africa or something like that.
4) From here choose again your local time settings and click ok.
5) We are done, it always worked for me and I hope I managed to solve some problem out there

clock problem
This is all very well, but as soon as you sync with your pc, it puts the time back to the incorrect time.
I'm in the UK, and right now we are in BST (British Summer Time) which is forward by one hour, but the device has a bug that always puts it back to the non BST.
This is so frustrating, i think someone in another thread has found a way of changing the time in the manilla code by advanceing the time by 60 mins, but then this is a temp fix becasue again you need to change it when the BST time is changed in OCtober.

Doesnt work!
Here's a definative fix for the region, just unpack and copy applicable file to Windows folder.
Temp fix for GMT+10 Sydney and Melbourne

You could disable time synchronization in ActiveSync, then it shouldn't be set to the incorrect time on sync.

Solution here works for me.

This worked for me. When you open the clock it still shows the incorrect time in the World Clock tab (here only). But it no longer changes the time on the main screen, and alarms still work.
I do not sync with a 'home' computer directly though, I only use the exchange server through google. So I don't know if that will still cause problems with others.

One thing that worked for me even if i connect to activesync it stills stay in the correct time is like i´ve said in this post.
Since that i haven´t got any trouble.

By "Force" do you just mean add the extra hour to the system time? (didn't really sound like it, but thought I would check) Or just change it back to the correct time? I tried that and never worked for me (second option). maybe your ROM already has the "Local Time Settings" reg key set.

in clock & alarms i didn´t change the GMT.
I simple add one hour in the time and pressed OK. It gave some kind of warning.. (don´t remeber what was) and till now i dont have any problem with the time. Although in world clock says 23:10(local) in today screen i have 0:10.

OK. I found a solution:
I'll include pictures to help everyone here:
1. Sync your phone with Windows and you should see something like this:
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2.Now Right click on "Windows PC" (bove the Favorites)
3.Click settings
4. Uncheck that damn box where it says "Sync...time and date upon connecting"
Now click OK and you should be good to go.

In spite of the commenst to the contrary, this works.
You've got to take the raindance approach "Move like this." and execute the 5 steps literally.
I tried syncing immediately and tried again after soft-reset. My timezone+summertime is finally respected.

[PRJ-REQ] Tatanium theme: Winmo 7

Hi all,
I saw the winmo 7 video other day in youtube. It looks great but it was like a dejavu for me. I have sony erricsson Xperia X1, in that we have a panel called Media experience, it is more or less the same as new winmo interface. (for those who haven't seen it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEQt8tGUuYg )
The only differences are that instead of txt showing you where you are (each time you get in a folder the name of the txt goes on top, that way you know where you are) in Media experience it shows you an icon

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
notice the icon on the right ( music icon) indicates that you are in music player. Oh yeah and unlike winmo7 it is in the left side. The thing that this is missing is the clock on the background (i photoshoped it) and the weather widget.
HTC UI is great but it also slows down the phone, that's why I prefer titanium. I was wondering if somebody could figure out a way to put a clock and weather widget with it. Some other pics,

That theme concept looks gorgeous. It's a brilliantly huge improvement over the default Titanium. However, it reminds me of the SE media manager. But nevermind that.
The clock on the top right corner looks ugly - it's doesn't blend well within the theme. I suggest that a plain text clock in the background should be implemented to give the theme a minimalistic and elegant look. I've worked up on the image to show you what I mean.
The menus should also have some transparency so the background and the clock are visible.

i think it's better the clock on the background but the icon only the bigger at the center end take away the little one at the left!

d3thstalker your picture looks exactly what I was thinking. I did a quick paintbrush work so it looks awefool. But yeah this is what I was talking about, how though

It would be really awesome if someone could develop this for us. I have no background in developing anything or whatsoever. However, I'd like to extend my help to wherever I can.
EDIT: Perhaps if someone could post links to guides or tutorials on editing the Titanium menu, I can try something.

It doesn't look that difficult, it's worth a try. But you are reminded again that I have no background in these things or whatsoever, so don't get your hopes too high, I might simply dump the project if I can't do it.
I'm handling some workload from my office atm, I'll begin immediately after that. I'll flash my phone to WM6.5.3 today, however, to take a look at how this whole thing works. On second thought, it would be better if someone could pass me the following files from the WINDOWS directory on their phone - bronzeres.dll, CHome_listback.png (hidden file) and Titanium_240x320.cpr

Ok I just sent it to you. I looked at the tutorial too, when I opened the bronzess.dll in PE explorer I see lots of icons, starting with the number of 2000 to 4000. I can guess how to change the icons, but I dont understand how can I change the system of how icons are being shown. I mean in "Media Experience Panel" when you tap on something it goes to the left side. How do make that happen? Anyway I dont know anything about programming.
Hope somebody comes up with a solution.

I understand the link between the registery, the bronzeres.dll and the way the icon are displayed. However, I still don't understand how to shift the icons to the left side. I think that has something to do with Titanium_240x320.cpr.
I don't think that it's possible to make the icons shift to the left upon clicking them because I have never seen that in a theme. I think that would require the Titanium code to be re-written or something, which is beyond me.
EDIT: This modding of titanium is too hard for me, I don't understand several aspects of it. I am letting go of it here.

Ok I think I figured it out. Its not Titanium that can do this stuff. It is actually this
http://developer.sonyericsson.com/cws/devworld/technology/windows-mobile/xperia-x1?cc=gb&lc=en
which probably can do this. Hmmmm............ I guess I have to do this all by myself

I want to thank:
DavidVD for his assistance with some graphical parts of the skin. Cheers mate!

-Reserved-

looks really amazing...

Thanks ejder1377.
let me know if you have problems with it.

ebsbow,
Nice work, I'm using CorePlayer on a daily basis for video playback, I will let you know if I face any issue with it.

You did an amazing job
But I found 2 problems in the File Selection page that I think are important:
1. not show the path
2. not show the selective boxes
Can you fix these?
My device is Touch Diamond (VGA).

Also in YouTube page not show many things like settings button and fonts in main window
You must be replace the black fonts color to white,
in YouTube logo replace the black fonts (You) to white,
the search frame replace the black to white
and I believe the icons must be more "attractive".

Thanks ebsbow.
Great job!
Maybe its nothing, but the color of the selector should be an other color I think?

ebsbow,
As said yesterday, after a day of use, first point to say is CorePlayer looks nicer than ever.
Now time for the points to improve from my point of view:
- No timer anymore, I don't know how long the movie I want to see will last.
- As stated by kastel71, it is a bit difficult to choose a video file. That leads to strange behaviour such as viewing a movie you think you do not have selected.
I hope you can fix these things.

OK!
I made some small changes:
1. youtube and dailymotion icons
2. youtube logo (from black "You" to white)
3. close, meta (info) and net (beside full screen icon) icons
4. directory path font color (from black to white) at File Selection page
5. highlight color (from green to dark gray)
6. search background (from black to dark grey)
But I don't find yet how to make visible the checkboxes and I 'm still working on it.

Thanks guy's for the comments sofare.
@The_Steph: Yes, the timer is an style thing. Hav'nt yet figured out how to place it into the style. I considered placing it over the image, but that looked very sloppy.
Let's see if we can place it into the other view.
@kastel71: Nice work!
Definitively going to correct the file path color, and the Google search box.
The check boxes are still eluding me aswell.
@Bardok: Yes indeed, the color needs some tweaking still. Looking into that.
@PollPixx: Thats wierd, but I don't think its related to the skin. Though if someone else is having an similar problem, then I will certainly look into it.
edit;
Anyone have an working YouTube?

It looks awesome, but....this must be a coincedence, but after adding your skin to my coreplayer it plays not well anymore. The image is stucking after 3 seconds, the audio keeps running. Anyone an idea where this is coming from??
Edit, after re-installing coreplayer everything seems to be working again...
Cheers,
Arnold

@PollPixx : I don't think that's related to the skin. Atleast, never came across any comment relating to that kind of skinning problem.
But I will surtenly look into this if others have the same problem.

No worries, I just mention it...it may mean nothing. As I set I re-installed Coreplayer and now your skin is working, maybe I had an older version of Coreplayer at first. Looks great!
Cheers,
Arnold

Hi ebsbow, if you need help please ask.

Thanks mike2nl!
I may take you up on that

very nice skin... Looking good on my Diamond... Thanks!

Hey,
so first of all the screenies look amazing and I will give it a try
The problem is I followed ur advices and installed it on my device, I am not quite sure whether I installed it on the main memory or store card, so I tried both.
After installed to the main memory respectively the store card I have made a reset
No changes at all
What am I doing wrong?
Appreciating ur work!

@impreZzA:
Coreplayer must be installed in the default folder, on the card or other wise. The application should work for you. Just execute the cab file and select the correct memory location. Also be sure you have an recent version of CorePlayer.

Okay ^^
Tried again, but s.th doesnt work
so its installed on memory card
x:/Programme/Coreplayer
the cab file is located at x:/programme
I executed ur file and chosen memory card as the place where it should be installed and then I started core player no changes
Coreplayer is quite recent
Help
thanks in advance!
