I have yet to see too much on this subject, other than a good piece by thekidz.rocks.
The full screen junkies of the sense Roms seem to be focusing their energies on the latest MaxManila to get their fix. I prefer to see full screen home pages with skinned taskbars & softkeybars as enjoyed by our WVGA cousins, for them the transition seems easy via HDWalls: for us it is rather tricky.
So we need TIPS, TRICKS, SKINS & hopefully... who knows a VGAWalls to come from somewhere..... plz.
To kickstart here are some dodgy taskbar aligninments with a wallpaper from, I cannot remember quite where... Hidden operator names & hidden slider marker manilas included if interested.
This looks very nice. Is it only for WM 6.5.X or 6.5, too?

Any 2.5 Manila. You set the background using the Weather Wallpaper option in the Home Tab Menu. The taskbar & Softmenubar can be found in the windows directory & are related to your device theme. For example if under Settings, Personal, Today you have a theme set which is energy, the taskbar file would be energytaskbar.png.
This is skinning Windows 6.5, so will work on any Rom, works with MaxManila too
Sorted!
Some good desktop wallpapers here http://www.searchslate.com/
Anybody else got anything ???!!
For installation, some as above post.

Any help on this one for a newb, as I do not understand either?
dude of course it works with touch pro... you just need to have manilla 2.5 ... this is for windows mobile 6.x so if you run windows mobile 6 + then you can use manilla which means you can use these themes
hi,
i'm interested how can i change the font of the letters to this typewriter style as in the pictures above. i find it really cool! :

I've put together some first cut skins for ThrottleLauncher, PocketCM, Windows Media Player, and SPB Mobile Shell.

}
ThrottleLauncher theme can be downloaded at http://www.throttlelauncher.com/forum/showthread.php?p=5699#post5699
All other themes can be found attached below.
- The SPB Mobile Shell skin only enables the program launcher feature of mobile shell. All other pages of mobile shell are disabled (why bother when you have ThrottleLauncher eh?! )
the terminator does it again......good job sir!!

Nicely done Rumball!
Hopefully Manilla2d can be stabilized and a CAB for us laymen could be created so we can start to use it.
cool
i guess i'll be trying it out
Great work as always Rumball!!
Thanks!!!
I make Touch Flo 2D them, too.
Hi,
I'm new to throttlelauncher and I've tried to load your 2D theme, but it just crashes.
Anyways, how did you get phonealarm to show up ontop of the pluging on the home screen?
Nevermind, I figured it out. I replaced the home.xml with yours.
looks pretty cool

You have to modify the home.xml to accept today plugins.
could you shre your tsk?
I've updated the TL skin to support the new v0.9.4k release and added the capability to chose between the original flash digital clock and a new analog clock.
I've also attached the Touch Flo 2D tsk file that I use. Just a note that I didn't create this tsk file and I unfortunately forgot which thread I found it in...so sorry in advance for not crediting the person that originally put together this tsk file.
Hi All,
I thought that I would share y current Spb Moble Shell v2.1.5 setup for those who are interested. I have all the necesary files but not in cab format if there is any interest. I also have G-Alarm with the Diamond wallpaper and TaskFacade with same wallpaper. There is also a screenshot of my Spb Keyboard in full screen landscape mode.
This is basically using the Spb Mobile Shell Fast Skin Customiser from XDA and my own tweaking here and there on S2U2 v1.52. I also use S2U2 Customiser.

Looks nice, but i'm used to have 'recently used' programs right there, although i use almost exactly the same folder structure as you do
Can I somehow insert battery as on your second image but on default skin, or it has to be this version with more screens? (i like when there are only 3 available screens)

I am not sure if I understand your question. The second image with the battery is S2U2 default skin while charging. When not charging, it displays the Diamond wallpaper, alarm info, next appointment etc as selected in "S2U2 Settings" or in S2U2 Customiser-it's up to the individual what he/she wants displayed on S2U2.
The Arrows on S2U2 with the HTC logo, I created from an existing image, and used S2U2 Customiser to change this and the text displayed.
I hope that this helps. There is also a nice tPRO (TouchPro) skin for all resolutions in the Raphael Software Forum if you are not sure how to do it yourself. Demonizator has created this theme and has included cabs in this post:

NICE.......
Very...very nice MAC, very nice alternative for people that don't like Manila.
Thanks for sharing.

*Things that can help speed the process*
A true GTX notification enhancement skin
GTX skin for connection setup Auto Setup screen
Any suggestions/thoughts while I'm still in the kitchen are welcomed
Heres a sneak peak BETA
Looks sexy. How about you invert the colors along with the black on white look?
Where can I find that taskbar?
Thanks,
There's a nice GTX lockscreen here called GT lock 1.5 that would be slick if cooked in. I'm using it now and it works good as a WM lock skin.

Thanks for the all white ROM.. its very refreshing as compared to the black.. I just installed the ROM but I wanted to change few settings and would like to know how..
1. How do I change the button mapping ? I want to change the "Action" button on the bottom left of the screen to a "phone" button?
2. I like the winmo honey comb layout for the windows apps layout instead of the traditional desktop windows look and feel..is there a way I can the honeycomb layout?
Thanks,
Dhanvi
I think I may have missed a non Beta thread.
I *love* the colour scheme/theme, and sense 2.5, but what else is in/not in?
Is this a fast, or energy saving ROM?
the ROM is looking good decided to test the beta it has lots of speed & its clean. The bad thing was the sound/audio didnt work i was not able to make calls because of it or radio didnt work. I would defenetly want to see it advanced, are you still working on the project?
this is cookie not sense. There is no GTX and sense together.
Looks great!!
As someone mentioned, the audio isn't working in the ROM. Are you going to update it anytime? It's really good otherwise!
I reviewed it on The Wingster, everything was good except those few minor bugs, I'm sure you could fix them up pretty easily!
Hi,
I,m loocking for a way to change the taskmanager Icon for a 21XXX Build (right/top) to a black Icon. I use a gtx white theme and the standard white icon is not good to see.
thx, Alex

but where can I find this Icon? It themes this icon is not in the windows directory as .png or gif etc.
Use IconHelper;

With it you can use any *.exe (icon) or *.gif cq *.png
Success with finding the right one,

It seems that other people have the problem also.

probably not for your phone (too old), though I'm using it WM6.1Professional;

though this might work (WM6.5.x);

Let me (us) know if the latter one works for you. I'm using Tsowen Taskbar and some other ones..
