That's why it's an HTC program. Why don't you use SPB Mobile Shell which is just the same?!?!?
very nice
works soo great on my kaiser
really appreciate it,thanks the guy from pxdxa~~
and i have a question:
i install your attachment,and just have the clock and msg,no green icons~
the green icons on your screen(the quick links?) are htchomeplug, right?
yep, you need to go to the settings - today - and there is one more tab - plus! - where you can setup what you will see or not. just setup it here
It's interesting, very minimalist compared to the HTC Home. I wish they would have added Tab support as in the Home plugin, so we could switch to contact photodialing, quick launch etc.
The existing quick launch along the bottom is nice, especially being able to add any program to it (and drag icons to re-arange their order). But it's only one line, having to click on an arrow to scroll through them. Expanding it to display more lines, or perhaps even the entire screen (if needed) would have been nice.
I'll be sticking with HTCHome for now, maybe use Plus! to add 1 row of quicklaunch icons and not display the clock/mesage indicators.
(unless I am misunderstanding what this app does):
Just to let you guys know, your Kaisers should already be pre-installed with the Quicklaunch icons (with one additional for backlight) prior to installing this app. Go to "settings>today>items". Look through the list and check the box next to "HTCHomeplug" (Not htc home). The only difference is the icons aren't green.
ee, i do not agree. thchomeplug is someting different from this. icons are smaller then on quicklink and you can not customize it..
disagree

you can customize htchomeplug search for either the thread started by me or search for registry under kaiser upgrading and you can customize the new htc tray app using the same registry keys
yep, already found that and it was posted HERE
the problem that i find with this home plug in is that the quick link to the txt, mms and e-mail are all liked to the same main page of Messages, not individually like the htc home plugin v.2... can you fiz that issue, or can any one fix that??

using ultimate launch i can slide to different tabs. the home tab is blank and less cluttered, if i slide to the weather tab i get the htc home plugin so its not always there.
I'm still trying to figure out a way to get this as a simple install but it might be a step by step tutorial instead. there is A LOT of configuration involved so we will see. It should be available shortly though
it seems much better than HTC home!!!!!
wonderful

Hallo.
I made this one for you who cant see windows taskbar anymore and get tired of htc Home
All you FIRST need is in the Bluephone-zip file. then you can use my other skins.
My theme just needs vjtoogletodayalphaII and BatteryStatus and a 2 small application to mute the phone/make x button and windows menu enable.
Everything is working: SMS/Email/Missed Calls-Counter; WIFI/BLUETOOTH on/off, mute the phone, a new taskmanager (Batterystatus) etc. You get a new small transparent taskbar with a big taskmanager-button
--) Okay: here we go:1. put the vjtoggletodayalphaII into the windows/Startfolder. Go to Registry: HKLM\Software\Vijay555\VjTodayToggle\ and set the values under "Startsize" und "Softkeysize" to "1". If you need your Softkeys leave/set the sofkeysize to about 26.
2. Install Batterystatus (if you have ultimate launch: it works as a today plugin)
3. Put the folder "SmartUtilities_FilesOnly" to Windows\Program files.
4. Put the File "RegistrySetString.exe" in the "BatteryStatus" folder"
5. Now decide which skin you wantut the bluephone.xml and the folder "bluephone" into the Batterystatus or do the same with greyphone.xml and folder or with Taskbar and Tasbar.xml (u can also put all folders in)
6. Now hold on clicking with stylus on the plugin and choose all rows for showing and choose "lock" rows. AND DONT forget that your new BS-Taskmanager is enable !!!! And choose your SKIN !!!
7. Now you have to do some changes because this is for german version of windows: open the xml u use with your windows editor on your PC or with totalcommander on your ppc:
7.1 you find in the middle a path for: programme\smartutilities_filesonly, change it to program files\....
7.2 you find at the end a path for: "\windows\tmail.exe...." there you see "freenet.de": You can replace this with your own email account. then you can read "Posteingang": replace just this for the english version with "inbox".
7.3 you find there a row with the date like this one - text="dddd, d. MMMM yyyy"- you can change this because this is the european version of date (see picture)
then save the xml file and put it back to your ppc.
- thats it.
- if you like it crazy made more funny sound graphics for you. You find them in "othergraphics", just replace the originals in the Bluephone or Greyphone-folder with them. The wifi/bluetooth icons are with german or english text (on/off-an/aus). Replace them as you like.
- the tabs at the bottom are not part of this, you can find them in my iconthread for Ultimatelaunch.
- FOR THE OKAY BUTTON you must sometimes press your Hardware OK button ! (will find a Solution)
- VGA and Landscape-view dont work. This is just tested with wm 6.0 but should run with wm5
Looks awesome! I'll try it now!
thanks you for your share ;D
Thanx for sharing....nice refreshment for today screen!!
hey very nice!!!....I wonder....is it possible to get the big transparent x button as a stand alone?...I feel like if we could this would enhance a lot of peoples touchscreen experience....let us know!!
mmh, the button you see is a icon that just links to a program called tasklist.exe. This is a part of Batterstatus. It only runnes, i think, if batterystatus is running. So i understand your wish (because it was my wish too) but it wont work without batterystatus.
If you want only my taskbar, i can make you a xml file just with the taskbar.
cool stuff I like the idea and the way you created it
but can you (or someone) make a copy of the iphone taksbar? just the taskbar, not the "desktop" stuff
Is the Smart Utilities the same as this one?This one is already a cab. Could make things easier
(nevermind sry...)
Great looking taskbar created!
Thank you!!!
This is what I was looking for, thanks a lot!!
Downloading now!
bluemetalaxe, congrats, U R really crazy, dude
Nice work, though
Olioaglio
everything looks like promised.
nothing works. not the mute (the "mute" progy doesn't work) not bt 'cose there is no registry key_value="HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Bluetooth" on my phone (maybe 'cose is wm 6.1 ?), not messages. the icon doesn't appear anywhere !
tried to uninstalled it by reversing the steps to install it.
everything went back except the hated windows taskbars and of course i am missing now all the info and settings they were ment for.
i think i'll have to restore a relatively old back-up
suggestions?
[later] got back the wm taskbars. forgot to delete the vjtoggletoday progy. everything back to "normal".
interesting is that the tray launch with the "original" battery status theme, is working. what are the shortcuts to bt and wifi??? didn't you use the same in yr .xlm file?
great work... hopefully there will be more battery themes you can share with us
also how did you make the top bar smaller?
Can you make the bottom tabs part of the same theme? And can I get that headphones grey background?
This looks very cool. Will try it .

as it turns out I do use Batterystatus so yes thank you very much!!...your work here is quite nice....is the clock BS as well?
@tomoffel: If i find time i will try original iphone taskbar. then you have just to repalace the new iphone.xml with the bluephone and some graphics, thats it.
@Vukile: if you install smartUtilities und you find there muteonoff then this will work also. If not, put just my muteonoff in this new folder. you find the backgroundgraphics in your bluephone-folder (take the first 35 pixel of the head1.png= 35x50).
@nothin: i wont buy a iphone cause i cant do such things with that and i have gps and umts on my Polaris And why should WM always look ugly and not be userfriendly, do you use still Windows 95 on your PC ?
@Kukuriku: I`m sorry, tested it on touchcruise wm 6.0 and not on not existing OS There could be trouble with the working of wifi/bluetooth buttons because the registry values depend on wm or some phones.
UNINSTALL IS VERY EASY: Delete vjtoggletoday from your windows startfolder, uninstall Batterystatus, delete the folder with muteonoff.exe. Softreset, thats it.
Cant say anything to BS Traylaunches because i dont use Traylaunch.
@character: can make more themes (a question of time). The topbar is just my graphic with icons and text on it (see in the Bluephonefolder). The original Taskbar is hided by vjtgooles tool. I/You can make it smaler, bigger whatever i want.
@wyzepro: its all just one BS theme/plugin nothing more. The theme has 4 rows (see in the xml file how it works): 1. Taskbar 2. Sound and Clock 3. Date 4.Buttons. I can delete or add rows and buttons as i want.
The tabs at the buttom are part of my Ultimatelaunch theme. I can make them a part of Batterystatus, so that they just open Software,Settings, Internet, Wheater-Program. But everyone has differnt software, or wants to open specific things with that icons, maybe i write a .xml with that and you have to change the xml with links to your software.
EDIT: I sorry, just found a bug im my latest .xml with the Text on the battery-icon. The new .xml will come tonight.
I've cacked open the xml....which files do I delete in order to obtain the large X button you have?
Im sorry dont understand what you want, do you want just the x button and nothing more ? But then you need the original taskbar and will have two x buttons ?

yes all file do go in the window folder
looking at the reg it looks like you used the bronzeres.dll
for the icons but I can't over right it I was able to change the cpr and if you do use the bronzeres. do you use it on neo to
sorry I just figured it out you use the colored icons with different numbers
WOW. Nice job! Do you mind if I build on this and use it in future ROM releases?
Thanks Rick for the Shadow_SlidingPanels.zip but I'm having tremendous issues downloading from Rapidshare from South Africa. Is it please possible to upload the file to another site like 4Shared or Megaupload?
Does the battery meter work on the original neo theme.
later today ill be uploading a updated chome changer.ccs which you dont have to press reset any more
now ready to download
not bad. it took some figuring out. as reading the help ccs was pointless.
the zip is missing files as there is no changer in accessories folder. the theme files dont get copied to the application data/home folder.
a cab installer would be your best solution with this, i can make this for you as well to make it a 1 step east install.
however there is a cchome slim.css file that is the changer but the slide theme doesnt look good ....
if you want ill go through and make the default theme look like it should ..
but other then that nice work...
here is my mod to the theme

I think I've found an annoying bug with your NEO Theme. When I reboot the phone, the Flight Mode (phone radio is off) is turned on. This is even if it wasn't on before rebooting.
It doesn't seem to happen with the Sliding Panel Theme.
Thanks Rick
Don't use this if you intend to switch between themes
If you switch from Neo to sliding windows and try to switch back again, well, first you can't and second you end up with a blank screen. I had to not only turn the phone off, but remove the battery to get the sliding windows back and then EVERYTHING was reset to the defaults. EVERY change I made, having to type in the MyFaves phone numbers instead of being able to pick them from the address book like the original Neo interface was lost. EVERY custom app was lost. EVERY change made in CHOME was lost.
It's a nice try, but I'd rather live without MyFaves than to have all this trouble.
All functioning and even the screen orientation icons make sense now.
Thanks to icons mostly from here:

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.
oscarbum said:

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.
