Like the Metro Design of the Windows Phone 7 Series?
Got a 6.5.x device with WVGA (others might working too - not able to test)?

Folks,
I thought I'd share a couple of skins a made for the WM6.5 Locksreens. They are made using Leo graphics and my own. One Skin is for the MS Locksreen and the other is for the HTC Locksreen.
Currently... these are only VGA.
I could make these for other resolutions (if requested )... but I only own a Ralph, so I don't have the base graphics for the others.
The pics are of the MS Locksreen, as I don't currently have the HTC Lockscreen installed.
I prefer the MS Lockscreen. Why?... The background on the MS locksreen is the same as your current windows wallpaper. The HTC Lockscreen uses a fixed background. Two files in the windows directory must be changed... (1) "htc_lockscreen_bg.png" (2) "htc_lockscreen_bg_l.png". A reboot is required before the changes take effect.
The themes are almost identical the main difference is the buttons and the background. The HTC Lockscreen retains the default HTC background and buttons.
...reserved, just in case

Hi I have made a Lock Slider initialy for X2 but I would like to share it to other users of WVGA WM 6.5. (6.5.x) devices.
Let me know if there are problems.
On my X2 it works perfectly in portrait and in landscape.

*Development halted is pretty self explanatory, but for those blissfully unaware what this pretty much means is there hasn't been an update to the project for some time and/or development on the project has ceased.
**If anyone thinks one of the projects warrants a status change (i.e. from active to development halted or from development halted to active) please let me know as I cannot keep tabs on all of them.
PointUI (Development seems to be dead)
http://www.pointui.com
Thanks for that
Another hope of mine is that by mentioning all these, they will receive more attention and development.
Too bad that ageye stopped with Infiinity.
Really appreciated the developement and it looked great + fast.
PointUI was also a good try but should need a refresh to get up to date.
WAD2
Look at WAD2. Lot's of nice themes for it floating around the forum. Try this search or just browse through the themes forum.
There is also iphone today
Keep 'em coming guys.
I agree FloWe1902, I really liked infinity. It had a lot of potential.
It's Sense, Jim, but not as we know it...
MaxSense:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687153
And there is also Androkkid, but the development for that has slowed, but again, its another alternative. I used it on my old iPaq and it never failed me!
Nice Maringer, little of the trek there!
Perhaps, you could indicate which are free and those for which you have to pay?
The only one that you need to pay is SPB. PointUI has a free as well as a paid version. The others are free
Went ahead and updated/tweaked the list.
Compiling these in one location is a nice idea. You might also want to include a link to the tips and tricks thread under the mobile shell link. That thread links up with a majority of the many custom UI/themes available for spb mobile shell. Many of the available options result in an entirely different experience than the default spb shell... just a thought.
TouchXperience
If and when Schapps ever finishes developing this and it gets a full release it will be the UI to beat them all as far as gadgetry goes! I'm on the beta testing group and I have to say there are flashes of sheer genius in it - g-scrolling in the menus, active wallpapers, amazing hardware button integration, superb volume/profile controls, etc plus seperate control over portrait and landscape home screen layouts (great for having just essentials available in landscape view for car kits, etc) and the promise of endless widgets for the home screens.
Have a look HERE
good list - I was looking for some alternatives to sense and you read my mind.
deleted, bc of double post
Tweaked and updated. You guys rule
Via WMDSoftHome:
TouchOne (google dehx.net/?q=node/18)
FSlide (google fs-system.be/?optionPage=Interfaces)
Sorry for posting links this twisted way, as noob I can´t post them. (what da...)
Added. Those two look pretty sick, I'll have to check them out whenever I've got some free time on my hands.
Gah I want this badboy sticky'd.
Are we including Windows Mobile themes here (i.e. extra downloadable ones like here) or just ones which replace the default today screen?
Hi! Im sure many would want to get some WP7 look and feel to their WinMo phones as they eventuallly get bored with the ever so common look. I have gathered some themes, skins and apps which are based on WP7 metro design. Here are the list of them, but if you have seen something based on metro which is worth the share, you may post it here. PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THIS THEMES, SKINS AND APPS. Enjoy overhauling your phone!
