DOWNLOADS
This is the beta and I will need to address the following things:
*I have to update the mail pics in the email tab, they look pixelized now
*I added the Calendar tab for people who want to use a flash calander, but I have not yet implemented this on my own (disable Operator tab in M2DC if you want - otherwise it's blank)
*It is supposed to say camera at the top of the pictures tab but Im having trouble figuring out what is wrong at this moment (if you tab the top of the screen it will start the camera)
*The music tab is a bit of an odd one...I didnt want to put the text next to the album but there doesnt seem to be a way to left justify it and it looked ****ty above and in the center - its supposed to go off the screen on this version, to follow the WP7 look and kind of get around the centering issue
*The internet tab looks kind of crappy - I cant get rid of the "Launch Browser" it wont let me change the text to black or the size in M2DC and I have to fix the mask over browser (you'll see)
*The locate button at the top of the search screen is not working (this tab is very complicated) however you can just hit enter on your keyboard after you enter your text
*I would love to have the single colum look on the programs tab, but it doesnt seem possible
Things I like that wont be changed (much)
*The Home screen, Contact, Messages, most of the Email tab, weather tab (I love this one), Setting tabs (maybe my favortie)
Ok this was loads of fun dreaming this up - enjoy and LEAVE FEEDBACK

i guess this is not for qvga
I don't know how to install M2DC ?
Looking forward to a possible future QVGA version
Is it for WGVGA ?
EDIT: Yes it is, and I'd like to post some screens, but since I'm a new user I can't. But I can assure you that is working very very very well, I love it and I hope you'll develop this in the future. Thank you so much !!!

Hey QVGA guys....
Find me someone who does themes...and ask if they want to work on this and I will help them (there is a guy who is doing themes now for you guys over in the M2D themes section who already used my idea (
) for the bottom slider...maybe he would be interested)
Most of the theme should work for you guys but of course the bottom bit will be cut off. You just need to find someone who is willing to mess with the xml
I dont have a QVGA device and have no way to test it - thanks for your interest and keep me posted.

here is the previous version of this theme (different contact panel images). Check out the previous version to get touchpal skins to PCMKeyboard also.
It is now significantly faster once loaded, and the landscape looks better as well.
!!UPDATE!! - v2.1
...fixed options page (can see text now)
...added contact picture in sms view
...supports v.25!!
Main differences from last version:
.....Main Contact, Contacts with SMS, and Favorite view are simpler, smoother and more appealing I think.
..option to shrink bubble to text (place settings.ini file found in "settingsini for shrink fit.zip" attached in your PocketCM folder by itself)
And here is the preview:
{
"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_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(by the way, the blurring of the contacts in the preview kind of ruins the look of that part of the theme, so truthfully it looks even better once you get it on your device)
So.. attached are htctoucher Bubble Theme 2.0.zip and
htctoucher Bubble Theme 2.0 GNA.zip (now in second post)
GNA are Gradient No Arrows from my first theme (which you can find in my signature under compilation) and is the preview on the right, while the regular 2.0 is the SMS view on the left in the preview
I realized I had forgotten to add the keyboard in the preview above.. unzip the contents of the "touchpal bigger light.zip" into your PCMKeyboard folder on your device and select them in Options!
I have updated the keyboard to look like this:
it is the htctoucher bubble touchpal.zip
Enjoy!
be sure to check out my other stuff in my signature!
this post now has my original bubbles as well
GA=Gradient Arrows
GNA=Gradient No Arrows
NGNA=No Gradient No Arrows
NGA=No Gradient Arrows
Enjoy!

I dont really have any way to test VGA, so that would be difficult for me to do... I think some users on PocketCM website have made themes into VGA, maybe you could ask around for someone willing to do this? If you get the settings.ini file done in VGA form, I will redo graphics.

For making it blue instead of gray, just open up all the graphics in the .zip that are grey and color balance them to be blue in photoshop or some program like that... if you need more help dont hesitate to ask
Glad you like the theme!
this is the only vga working theme i've found in pocketcm site.
i hope it can help!

Sure
Download whichever theme (which is a .zip file) you like (basically just choose which SMS bubbles you like) from the first post
then, drag the .zip file you downloaded to the PocketCM Contacts folder on your Device (I am not sure where this is or what it is called on your device)
then in options within PocketCM Contacts - which you will find by holding down the phone button and releasing on the settings cog icon - press the button "Select Theme" and select the name of whichever theme you downloaded and placed in the PocketCM Contacts folder
hope that helps

Okay.. I will attempt to make a VGA of this theme!
Sorry to say this but it is not going to be very soon, I wil try to start working on it this weekend, but it could be another 2 weeks before I complete it (the settings file is going to be difficult for me since I dont have a VGA device and have not had a lot of time for themeing lately)
Hope that's not too long to wait!
thanks for your interest

I love your themes
Could you modify them in order to use with 0.22 version
Have only one problem: editing contacs the font is white and the background too, so is very dificult to see.
Thank you
Nice work..hope you will release the VGA version soon thanks
Followed your installation instructions but it just comes up orange...what am I doing wrong? What version am I meant to be using?
Got it sorted - I'm using a Mac and it auto unzips folders after download, and rezipping them doesn't seem to work. Downloaded from a PC and it worked - thanks for the theme!
nm worked it out
----------------------------------------
whats new ?:
- this is a nearly original wheee theme, all credits for Idea and look go to Ufufu and i use again the sticker icons, other grafics and background made by me. This theme has new topbar graphics and a new missed calls-icon that will come to snowwhite and free! theme with next update (This 3 sticker-iconsthemes use exactly the same xmls only the backgrounds are different)
----------------------------------------
I recommend to do this SETTINGS for your ppc:
(how to: open the xml or txt files with with "totalcommander", or on your PC with "windows Editor", make the following changes, choose "save" (NOT "save as.."), put xmls or txt files back in the theme folder of you PPC and restart todaylife.)
Edit the config.xml :
1. go down to "emaildefaultparam" and there you find:"freenet.de". Replace this with the name of your account.
2. go down to CalendarAction and set it to 1 (=default windows mobile Calendar) otherwise my settings open thumbcal !
3. go down to time format and change it to 12 or 24
4. go to SMS Action and set it to 0 if you don want to open pocketcm
5. you can do more changes (SMS Alarm settings/Lock-settings), they are explained in the xml !
6. change language in the appointments: open the portrait.xml and the landscape.xml . You will find this text:
<Today>Heute</Today>
<Tomorrow>Morgen</Tomorrow>
<AllDay>.....</AllDay>
<MultiDay>.....</MultiDay>
change this four words in this lines to any language
7. change the date format in both portrait.xml and landscape.xml: <Format>dddd, d. MMMM yyyy</Format>
8. add the name and path of you applications for the launcher in the "Applications.txt". Can be ".exe" or ".lnk" and works also with parameters.
9. To open with the launcher directly your favorite webside with you favorite browser:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2538839#post2538839

FAQ:
1. what is this ?
- this are my qvga themes (also Landscape support) for the FAST FULLSCREEN Software/GUI "todayLife" made by DAZZLINGDAZ. Today life is a brilliant new Software like rltoday or batterystatus, but will get much more functions and is much easier to costumize: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407900
2. how to install and what additional software do i need ?
- you need nothing more. i works with wm 6.0 and wm 6.1 with NetFramework 2.0 or 3.5. And no need to install !!! unzip the folder put it on your phone and start the todaylife.exe. If you dont like it delete just the folder thats it.
3. What is working till now ? :
- not everything, test it, but i update this skin everytime that there are some new functions for you.
4. I´m having bugs/Problems/Ideas ?
- if you have a bug/Problem/Idea or want to modify my theme and dont know how: post it here, if its not running or you have a request to the programmer post it in the above thread.
5. Can you make this theme to VGA ?
- no sorry i cant, i don´t have the time and biggest Problem: i dont have a vga device for testing the graphics here. But todaylife works well with VGA.
6. I dont come out of some windows ?
- slide to the left side

Congratulations on your first skin for the todaylife engine! Very well done!!
thank you.
Let me say some addional words:
- credits for some of the used graphics (especially Backgrounds) go to steve jobs
- i use some freeware icons from RuizDesign and use their psd-file for creating own Icons. thank you
- and yes it looks like a iphone skin, and this should be so.
Hi Blue,
Congrats on the new thread. Unfortunately, it mean that I'll have to follow 2 threads instead of Daz's only. Oh well.....
Excellent work!
A pity you don't have a VGA device.
Hope somebody with free time on their hands can VGA-ize it.

nice work blue!
Congratulations, good work. Could you make a theme that will have more "HTC looks"? Something like HTC Home? Thanks again for this great theme.
this is actually a very nice theme i must say!
to this day ive never heard of "TodayLife", but i can guarantee u this..im gonna give it a try..
the theme looks good, not too heavy to dark or too bright..actually looks similar to a MS2.1 theme ive seen before lol
ill give it a run, and definitely will provide some feedback!
kudos to all who created the app and the skinners/artists!
I'm glad you keep on improving your skin. I've included the previous version in one of my custom rom. And I was waiting for a new one since BS can manage plugins.
Thank You!
Guys - to change a skin pack to a different resolution takes time!!! the icons may be too small for starters - BUT - you can change most of it yourself - simply by editing the portrait.xml and landscape.xml and making all the X and Y coordinates double - S(ize) attributes for things like the calendar can be doubled too
Example (this is from the xml and is for the bit that displays the current date)
<Date>
<P>1</P>
<X>90</X>
<Y>45</Y>
<Align>CENTRE</Align>
<R>200</R>
<G>0</G>
<B>200</B>
<S>10</S>
<Format>dddd d MMMM, yyyy</Format>
</Date>
To go VGA for this :
<Date>
<P>1</P>
<X>180</X>
<Y>90</Y>
<Align>CENTRE</Align>
<R>200</R>
<G>0</G>
<B>200</B>
<S>20</S>
<Format>dddd d MMMM, yyyy</Format>
</Date>
This doubles the xpos , ypos - and doubles the size of the font - it really is that simple!
thanks you very much , great work
one question
this is a great theme just a couple of questions
first off how do you unlock it,
second theres nothing on the music or programs tab how do i change this?
thanks
I am still developing the program - so it is correct that some tabs are empty - this is by design and allows for expansion as I develop.
Please read the development thread for more info.
The unlock sequence is 4 seperate guestures : ^, >, \/, <
Can someone post more screenshots. I can't see the original for some reason.
Also, is there a collection of themes for this new program yet?
Thanks!
By the way - apart form the skinners...it's just me developing LOL - so if you request something and it doesn't get done straight away - it's cause there isn't a large team of monkeys bashing keyboards....just me...and I, unfortunately, have to sleep sometimes (although very rarely)

i attach a preview of the vga version i have to make working something more..
buttons are ok now i must work beside text and fonts dimension maybe something cold work
When i click the speaker icon my screen darkens, but i dont get a volume control. I have to reset the phone to get out of it. Anyone else have this problem?
okay, thank you all:
but again some words:
- creating or ripping and fitting these graphics needs about 40 hours. so i will not and dont want to make a quick htc skin.
- everyone is welcome to create own themes.
- this is a thread is just for this theme/skin. if you want more functions, want to know how it works or have a technical problem or want a different Design please go to the thread of Dazzlingdazz, he is the brilliant programmer of the software.
- to unlock slide to top, then to right, then to bottom then to left.

What's new...
- Bigger icons, more finger friendly
- Revamped weather page featuring BeyondInvisible's Stardock icons
- New landscape mode
- More icons
Instructions
- This theme requires a bit of small tweaking to set up
- Copy all files to your SPB Mobile Shell folder on your PPC, then soft reset
- You should get something that looks like this,
- To manage what icons appear on the screen, just tap and hold any icon to get this menu,
- Select "Manage Pinned" to get this screen
- Select what apps or menus you use the most, by placing a check in the box next to them.
- Now open the SPBMobileShell.txt file on your computer, with any text editor, and scroll to the botttom, where you'll see these entries,
Icon1|Calendar
Icon2|
Icon3|
Icon4|
Icon5|
Icon6|
Icon7|
Icon8|
Icon9|Weather
Icon10|
Icon11|
Icon12|
Icon13|
Icon14|
Icon15|
Icon16|
Icon17|
Icon18|
Icon19|
Icon20|
Icon21|
- Type the name of your icons after the bar "|", like I did with weather and calendar, save the file, and copy to your Mobile Shell folder on your device.
- Enjoy!!!!
Thanks to Greatbal, mtkates, ldostang, heefy, cinji, gagaza, beyondinvisible and all the others out there for your work and inspiration
If you use this theme, PLEASE make a donation! Even a dollar would be fantastic. This took a lot of time to create and you could probably find some change in your couch!

This mod will add the reflective style dock to my theme!
And this one will add sweet glass icons!

very true, as i designed it to be a replica of the iphone gui, which is as you say, just buttons. i just wanted to give it a go and share with the community. thanks so much for trying and commenting, i appreciate it. any improvements you would suggest?
i know its pretty lame but i think just a home screen woud be suffice
i think ur buttons are the cleanest and most detailed so i wouldnt change that.
ur iphone calendar like replica rocks.
so yea..just a home screen
It is greate,but i can see anything for picture
cool thank you very much my thème BS it identique icone
Gorgeous.
Nice !
How can I use this theme without MRU and only 1 contact page ?
Differnt layout
Work great, thanks. It would be nice it you could replace one of the contact with weather.
Perfect
Very nice work my friend.
Its one of the best and nicest I´have seen. Thanks for sharing.
The only problem I have is that I can´t get the calender as your print screen. I get always the default from the HTC P3300. Am I doing something wrong?
Hi,
Great Work !
Unfortunately doesn't really work for me (SPB MS 2.1.0.3363). I have a lot of Icons which have no Description. They are titled Icon 1, Icon 2, Icon 3 and so on. Perhaps i've done something wrong during installation ?
Thx, lagloose
OK
I found the problem. It won´t work with SPB version 2.1.2. It works perfect with version 2.1.
Thanks

It is made for QVGA 240x320, but I will be making VGA versions later on.
By default the buttons are laid out so:
Serene:
Home=Phone
Chat bubble=SMS
Applications Icon=File Explorer
Cloud=iContact
Cityscape:
Left girl=Phone and Missed calls
Space guy=icontact
Grey girl=File Explorer
Right guy= SMS
Stein:
Head=icontact
Right bubble=phone
Left bubble=sms
Clock bubble=file explorer
Just edit the skin.xml to change the programs and paths. In order for it to work right you must remove the softkey bar from the bottom of your screen.
If you want to add more icons they can be found here:

Nice..but if you say this skin is created for QVGA users it would be better if you use HTC Touch which is QVGA device..since Diamond is VGA
I honestly didn't even think about that . I just loaded up a Diamond template I had on my computer to see what my concept would look like with a phone around it.

I added it to my main post. I simply found a high res render of the diamond from google images. Then I edited it to my liking. Enjoy!
Added a new skin "Cityscape"
ahh i love it..haha simple is key.
where can we download cityscape?
Its attached in the main thread. I forgot to add it when I edited the post
It should be there now.
okay,
- this is the shortest rltoday xml i have ever seen and
- the today screen has nearly no functions and
- the icons are from devian art
BUT the look you created out of this is extremly cool

Looks were my main thing I was going for, these were just skins for my personal phone and I decided to share them. I usually try to make one everyday I am off from work (which is very few days if that). I prefer minimalism over functionality, but I am working on tabbed versions that have app, weather, and calender pages. I look at my phone hundreds of times a day and I wanted something that was nice on the eyes.
Thanks for the comments anymore you have are greatly welcomed.
im diggin these!
great work
so im using the cityscape..i was wondering if there is a way to have the clock setup like the other one? on the top..thanks
Open skin.xml in notepad and edit the Y position of the clock. You would have to use another background otherwise you would have an empty black bar through the screen.
UPDATE: 17/02/2008
- VGA theme added
____________________________________________________
This is the last release of this theme based on this style.
Only Portrait because i do not use landscape, however i release some landscape wallpapers that you can use to play. The icons for landscape you can use the same of portrait.

Any 320x320 love?
this will probably drain more battery than the normal htc home skin right?

Compare to htc home you are right but we are talking about completely different UI experiences.
You must compare with mobile shell, manilla 2D etc.. and as far as i know the drain is similar.
I have a 64mb device and runing this theme i have always 15mb free that for me is sufficient
Looks very nice Zimaia.

Yes, you must copy the retroclock skin file to the retroclock directory. Then go to setting>personal>today and go to the items tab go down the list of your today screen plug-ins till you find retroclock hi-light retroclock and click the options button. Then select the Zimaia62_RetroClock in the "Display this clock"
dropdown and your done.
Any chance of a landscape? If so, how long? I use my phone in landscape a lot so that would be a great help.

Well, i'm not going to work on a landscape theme but because i know that some of you use in fact landscape (I don't ) i have included some landscape wallpapers that you can use to play around.
One think that makes WAD2 a must have application for a lot of people is the ability of made skins easily so you have all you need to made a lanscape theme, wallpapers and icons (the same one's in portrait)

Well WQVGA it's on my todo list with other resolutions too (VGA and WVGA)
It is not a big change because only the wallpapers are going to change to fit 240x400 but i can't do it today. Because i'm finishing VGA.
Can you wait a little more please?
During next week i will post the rest of the resolutions.
Thanks
What is the difference between 6.1 and 6.2?
Also is there going to be a landscape for the QGVA version?
If not, can i just use the 6.1 landscape with the 6.2 portrait?
Thanks

The difference is just about style of the icons and theme in general.
Not going to made landscape version but you have landscape wallpapers of the theme
Yes you can mix the themes because in wad2 portrait and landscape are separate themes
VGA Theme added!!!
VGA version available
Enjoy
Appreciate it dude! Awesome theme! kinda mixed parts of this and 5.x version. loved em both! anyway THNX Bunch keep up the skinning.
P.S.
got a i910 myself. i'd make these people landscape and convert this stuff themselves. I read and learned enought to do it so id say anyone can!
Not tryin to start **** with anyone just stating this is all a good learning expeirience
I'm still waiting the theme for WQVGA(240x400). I really hope that I would set my omnia with your theme. Can you let me know when you finish the WQVGA theme?
Yeah. I'm waiting for 240x400 as well. Currently using iFonz. This may be a better, if not different alternative.

I'm working on it!!
unfortunately i do not have to muth time to do it and for your resolution it is not only the resize of wallpapers because it will be a lot of space free, so i'm working on new ideas to fill that space (240x80)
But don't worry i will post it soon, very soon.
btw, with all respect for ifonz but wad2 does not have nothing to do with ifonz, at all levels. wad2 it's an other legue. Sorry ifonz developers!!!
Thanks
Thank you, looking forward to it.
working on my device
very nice bro n thanks
