Creating a New Windows Mobile Home Screen - Windows Mobile Themes

Hi All,
I'm new to the windows mobile world since i bought my first windows mobile device an HTC HD2.
I'm willing to create a new theme since i think mine would be way more usefull as the default homescreen of windows mobile.
But i have te learn a lot about windows mobile.
I'll need some help since in the wiki most of the info i was able to find was pocket pc 5 info so a bit dated.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So this is my idea, i figured out most of the stuff is written in xml? seems easy in titanium_800x480 file so i should be able to figure it out.
Problems i might/will run in to:
Adding the taskmanager might be a problem so i might/will need help on this.
And removing the lower bar and replacing it with my version will be difficulty for me as well for me.
I'm currently looking at stuff other created to see how they have done that, but it would be nice if someone could sum up the tools which i will need to create a taskmanager or remove the lower default bar.
I learn scripting pretty quick since i've written html/java/flash/(small)vb scripts for macros ... so i just need a little help to get going.
Thanks in advance for any help.

this could be very interesting im definitely into it. i have no experience with xml and stuff but i might be able to put some graphics together.

jejejeje cool idea bud, if you need any xml hemp....just tell me

THats a million $ idea..Kudos.. very creative and task oriented.as well as UI will be more cool too..

Kaiser graphics accel, possible solution (got manila running on kaiser)

I've been playing about for a couple of days now with this graphics acceleration problem.
Yesterday i was trying out different DLL's and editing the registry, and i had put "libGLES_cm.dll" and "libGLES_cm.lib" into my windows folder. Today i was trying to install manila as many people have not been able to get it to work, it installed fine and then I clicked the "tap to start HTC home" on the homescreen and it asked me to allow "libGLES_cm.dll" and it is running.
However, it's a bit disproportioned and very very slow (0.75FPS).
I think it may be needing some more missing DLL's and the registry might need tweaking.
Also without libGLES_cm.dll (as the device is shipped) Manila fails to initialise. so HTC must have some sort of OGL drivers that they are using, but not supplying for Kaiser.
I used Vincent 3D libGLES: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ogl...1&big_mirror=0
and Heres a link for Manila: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=G5X13UZF
Heres a screenshot of the homescreen (Very Very Buggy, and slow, still cycling through the days up to 31st even as i'm uploading screenshots and posting :/)

Windows Mobile 6.5: turn off honeycomb?

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

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.

here you go.

could anyone plz point out where to get Chome?

Hello,
I'v been searching like a mad man, trying to find a cab or any other sort of installation to implement Chome afterwords on my x2 ultimate build 6.5 V11.
it is supposed to be cooked in the rom but I'v flashed reflashed, restored and re-configured, somehow it just wont appear on my tools nor my today screen.
I really like the Chome today screen, with all its features, but untill now I am unable to find a way to implement it on my phone.
is there a way? and if yes, could somebody plz direct me to the correct place to get it?
thanks a billion.
cheers,
Remen
Chome is the Windows Default in 6.5. Maybe you have Touchflo (Manila) enabled on your ROM? Just go to Settings/Today/Items and just tick Windows Default.
I'v got 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_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"
}
but without the two buttons at the bottom of the screen.
what I would like and had before with a earlier version of the same ''publisher'' is
now on a bright moment, just a few minutes ago, reading your comment about the windows default which I have running, is it titanium that brings me the userinterface from the last picture?
the reason I am confused is because by the looks of it, the cabs to install these features, should be cooked in the rom, but I might be wrong, I can't really figure out if it is supposed to be there or not, I got this for the rest great rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519715`
thanks for any help offered.
Ask in your ROM thread about the settings. Titanium is just another name for CHome. Titanium Weather will have its own configuration somewhere.

[GUIDE] How to run iPhone/iPod touch Apps on a PPC

So I was just browsing through some of the sub-forums and I found a lot of questions asking, "HOW KENN I RUN iPHONE APZ ON MI PPC?"
I today have brought you a solution.
Using this method, your phone/device will not need any additional memory usage, or even any additional software/hardware for that matter. All games will run full speed too! And the best part is -- none of this will affect your battery life!
Here you go folks! A picture is worth a thousand words, so this video is worth a million (Or something like that! )

Tada!!
edit: This will work with all screen resolutions!

Upon further inspection it works on every phone on every operating system
It's a really hilarious* video showing someone running an app on an iphone which he has physically placed on top of a PPC.
* when I write, hilarious, I really didn't mean it.
Thread can be closed now, if not deleted, please.
It will run on my Tilt, as long as it is on my desk. But will not run on my Tilt if it is in the charging dock. Any ideas ?
