Someone? Anyone? A good task manager that looks good too?

V bar--- Awsome app, great menu, very fast
downfall ---- The right side is the wrong color unless you use the original windows mobile 5 home screen! We all know that most of use are running windows mobile 6 or dont use the simple blue homescreen
(ive already tried to make a new .bmp image, it doesnt work good at all.)
Magic Button --- I love the top bar icons. Great app
downfall -- The whole top of the screen is a different color! Thats ridiculous.
Pbar --- Easily the best menu.
downfall --- you have to start the program to use the app! Its not like vbar and magic button where you can access the menu from the top right of the screen
help me guys, i want a good task manager

I use Magic button as I love the simplicity of it. I do find the odd colors in WM6 weird, but have gotten used to it.
A lot of people swear by Wisbar. I put it on and it does look very cool, but its VERY different' than magic button and I didn't have time to try to figure it out. I'll probably give it a try again soon. But I'm not sure it does the active icons in the top bar like Magic Button (and I love that feature).

Have you tried InClose Mobile??

If you mean running program icons, it does.

I had no problem making vbar use bmps. I configured it to look like my WM6 theme. Maybe you could try it again?

What theme are you using? I can try to make it for you. I made mine by taking screenshots of the screen before installing vbar. I took one with no button, one with the "X" and one with the "OK". Use the blank for the background, then draw a small triangle on it for the context menu. The other two are self explanatory.
See the attached screenshots.

oh ok i see what you're saying. i didnt take any screen shots so i was just making a picture myself. I was using the green homescreen that comes with windows mobile 6. It even looked bad with the blue one.

I love vBar! And you can make it match whatever theme you are using:
Go to vBar Setup, click on "Show background image" and use the appropriate little menu bar piece - try this file, vbar Crossbow Turguoise.bmp, provided below - place it in \Windows.
If you are using a different Crossbow version, (for instance true WM6, that has the two-tone menu-bars), do a screen capture of your Today screen while vBar is disabled, then edit it in your favorite photo editor, cropping out just the upper right section of the screen, from the date over (be sure to get the whole bottom line of the menu bar). Name that little .bmp appropriately, copy it to \Windows, and then set it as the vBar background image, as above.
Try the file below before you go to a lot of trouble, and make sure that it works for you. Works for me! I like the "Cyclic Black Bars" theme, so I created a little .bmp so vBar will have the right background for that (also attached below).

S2U2 Diamond theme VGA added

My first contribution to this forum...I can not take full credit as most of the graphics came from this forum i just resized and modified them. If someone could take a screen shot that would be awesome as I could not get one to work. Thanks in advance.
To install delete everything inside the gfx folder except the weather folder then simply copy paste everything from the zip file into the gfx folder. Next go into S2U2 settings and disable the top curtain.
I do not have a VGA device so i had no way of testing the vga one at all so please let me know how it looks. if you have any questions or comments just let me know.

Looks good, but it's QVGA version.

Looks very nice, but you don't post screenshoots...
Can you do this for your next post please?
Thans.....
BTW: I try This and add images....
Here this my screenshoot (Please add this images to your post) :

looks great, i just changed the clock to blk

For some reason, when i choose the clock it doesnt fit on my screen. i dont see the first number and half of the second number. and where it says Am or PM, half of that is cut off. Any other clock works fine. Everything else with this skin works fine..

THANKS FOR THE SCREEN SHOTS EXIMOR
as for your clock not working you should have replaced the clock folder....if you delete the a.jpg, m.jpg and p.jpg everything will work fine.
also if you disable the top curtain it looks a lot better

Please make us a VGA version. For us Diamond users.

Hi,
Thanks for great Theme
I've done a small addition for the clock. On my device (Touch plus) your numbers didn't fit. When Displayed two Digits in Hour (4 digits all over) on both sides the graphics are cut some pixels.
I attached reduced graphics, just replace the files (0.png - 9.png & c.png) in clock subfolder. Also i have black and white digits, the colon is always white. Just a small customization of your work

WVGA or VGA?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Its designed for WVGA, but it is mostly operable on VGA. There's a pic a few posts ago that shows one of the issues. Another bug I found was after you would view a photo, the slider would be inaccessible.
Try it out though, it is able to be uninstalled via "Remove Programs".
Next time I install it, I'll post some pics.
All in all it is a great app/hack. Definitely helps cleanup your homescreen. Thanks Steve0007

Here are some screenshots of my VGA screen w/the mod.
I don't like how, in landscape, it moves the slider to the right side of the screen versus the far left where it was. As someone pointed out before, for VGA, the slider icon images are too high on the screen.
There is also a quick one second glitch in the slider bar (a white bar flashed on the screen for a sec.) when I open the keyboard on my Touch Pro and it turns to landscape.
I did not experience a loss of the slider after having viewed a photo through the Photos tab.
It is really cool looking though. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before someone makes a true VGA version.

+1 for a VGA version!

Love this mod!
How can I make mine transparant though?

[Theme] [QVGA Landscape] [Standard 6.1|6.5] Smartphone Revitalize Sliding Panel Theme

Hi guys,
So I'm one of those guys still living in the dark age of Windows Mobile Standard. I don't see many good themes posted for good ole non-touchscreen phones, so I thought I'de give it a shot.
Critiques are encouraged!
More information to come...
Requirements
Windows Mobile Standard 6.1 or 6.5
QVGA Landscape device
Installation
After unzipping, look at the folder names for instructions
.

i have broke my last smartphone a while ago (and now all my smartphones are died)
but imo your theme is perfect and nice... very cool text on screen (great chars, slim font)
i love the themes without useless icons ^^
maybe you could add a titanium slider (or only an underlined graphic to the active panel)
the page counter is a little "oldish" maybe you could redesign it and move to another position
and for least a thing (i think is impossible): make the long titles of panels sticking/sliding to read the whole text in it (e.g. in the calendar panel you could read only the first part of the appointment infos, if u get it orrizontal sliding you could read it all like the music info panels) but for me this is impossible
so now i haven't a device to test it, but i like, nice job! thanks to sharing
ot
are you still living in the dark age of Windows Mobile Standard? i wish that times return for me
i miss my old winmo NONtouch... actually i hate to have to tap with my finger on these little display (e.g. i was texting on my htc wings 50sms/hour , now my frineds joke me cuz it seem that i cannot write in a correct italian language...)
non touchscreen are the best phones imo but actually they are lost in the old technologies limbo... and i doubt thay could come out again...

Thanks for the compliments!
I'm working on adding a titanium slider right now to see how it looks, but I designed it to not require a slider. Text on the currently selected panel is white and text on unselected panels is transparent.
I'm still trying to figure out what (if anything) I'm going to do with the page counter.
As for the long titles extending off the page... well that was sort of the goal. It was inspired by the Zune HD and Windows Phone 7 interface. 99% of the time it shows enough text for you to understand, and in the rare case you do need to see more you can always click it. I think horizontal scrolling/sliding for long text would be really cool, but I have no idea (yet) how to make that happen. If anyone know a way to do this, let me know.

i see...
the orizzontal sliding for the title is a "higher sky" and personally the cropped title text is cool
and i love the zunehd inspi.
apps and web apps panels are fantastic
(a suggestion, for the counterpage maybe you could remove the numbers and left only the arrows, white for the next page, transparent if no page avalaible)
all my compliments

I created a version with a slider. If any smartphone users make it in here and would like me to post it just let me know.

Hi gtg456x. I got a new touch phone recently because my contract for the BJ2 was up. I've always loved the performance of Sliding panel plugin, and I can't wait to try this theme. It looks uncluttered, so I think I can finally put some wallpapers that didn't used to work on the standard icon-filled theme. Thanks for sharing and for reviving my interest in the BJ2 phone

this is an awesome theme....it's too bad that I don't know how to apply anything that isn't a .cab file!

I know your probably thinking I'm stupid, but I have no idea of how to install this theme onto my blackjack 2. It looks so great, and I would really like to use it on a daily basis. Please Help!!!

With a black background and this theme is terrific. Almost Zune-esque. Thanks! Here's a screen

how to install a certain part?
can u please point me the way how to install the files that are in...
Optional images for link panels (you will have to create your own to match your links)
i have managed to install all the rest but need some help.

Now if you would port the landscape cpr to a portrait cpr, I would be happy, because I wouldn't have to do it myself (although I made myself a similar theme a couple of months ago, but I didn't release it to the public )...

like it about to put it on my jack

Wasn't expecting this thread to get revived. Shouldn't be too hard to make it into a cab file for those who are having trouble.

hi gtg465x , i have a non touch mobile phone samsung Omnia Pro B7330 with a Qvga screen and a resolution of 320x320 running win mobile 6.5.
is it possible to change te resolution? because i saw that the theme was made for 320x240? is it a quick fix or not?
can you help me out?
thx in advance

awesome, iLike it!

I've installed on my Samsung C6625 it works but there's some problem:
The words was cut in the right side, it's not centered
Also, can you tell me how to make a new link such as garmin and other apps?

Glass Shelf Clock, Sliders & Lockscreen for Manila 2.5

I'm always looking to see more of my backgrounds so I just started messing around with some glass shelves and it came out well so I made a theme of it
3 Clocks
PureGlassShelfClock
MetalGlassShelfClock
ChromeGlassShelfClock
GlassChromeSlider
GlassChromeShelfLockscreen-CHT Lockscreen
WMGlassLockscreen
IMPORTANT NOTES
-this theme was made using cfc UltraHQ compression because the glass shelves look awful with normal quality. UltraHQ requires your phone to be patched with cfc 0.50. (if anyone wants to try normal quality anyway I can make that up quick as well)
-a few icons in the slider were taken from old slider icons, everything else was made from scratch
-you may use my work in anything you like, just credit me please
-I attached glass shelf template .png files in shelftemplates.zip in case anyone wants to use them for quicklinks, etc.
-I may take requests if needed and comments and feedback are always welcome
-added no curtains.cab to this post in case anyone needs it
Installation
-Patch your phone with cfc 0.50; (if not already done) here's the link to instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2798454&postcount=6
-Install .cabs
-Restart Sense
-Enjoy!
-See post #4 for updated .cabs (compressed and some bugs fixed)

Thanks for sharing!

great work extra clean! is the slider for 6.5 lockscreen?

Sorry, didn't reserve any posts so remaining updates will go here. (post#4)
Updated:
-CFC compressed version of lockscreen and clocks (runs faster and smoother)
-New version of sliders that eliminates all remnants of your rom's sliders.(compressed as well)
-Windows Mobile 6.5 Lockscreen released (shelf must be placed in your lockscreen wallpaper though and shows up in start menu and start up-see screenshot in post #1)
-(for WM lockscreen only)shelf must be positioned correctly in your wallpaper, you can either do it yourself or upload here and I will. I attached the wallpaper from the screenshot in WMGlassLockscreen.zip
-Calendar bug on slider fixed

This glass shelf looks great on the screen - thanks for your work and for sharing it!

thanks for sharing

they look realy great. when i have my phone working i'll use them for sure

glad you guys like them

Gonna give it a whirl. Looks great!

very nice but......
Does it work for hd mini?
Thanks.

will it work on asus P525 with wm6.5?

thx man for the great work n sharing

Great work, looks absolutely awesome. Thanks!
Edit: I didn't notice before, the icons in the slider are overwritten by the ones (I guess) from the ROM (VBN Clarity). Is there any way to remove the ROM icons and just display the ones from these cabs?
See attached screenshots for what I mean.

Kingpen,

Do you mean the hd mini lockscreen? No, it does not currently work on the hd mini lockscreen style. It's only for CHT lockscreen right now, but I may make it for the WM style as well if needed. The clock will work on any manila 2.5 device.

I love these! Thanks!

It may work on wm6.5 depending on what version of manila you're running, this was originally made for manila 2.5 but if you're on manila 2.1 I think I still have the manila files from my old stock rom on 2.1 and I can make up the theme for you on that as well if needed, just leave a post to confirm what you're using.

I was afraid that was going to happen The problem is arising because I made this theme using a Dinik.Glass.EnergyROM in which the image used for the "active" tab was deleted by Dinik because it does not matter in transparent sliders, and I couldn't find all those blank images I'll look up some manila 2.5 files to find the active tab files tonight and I should have the patched slider done by tomorrow.
EDIT:Sliders are now updated and this problem should not occur

Do you mean the Windows Mobile Lockscreen where you slide across? The HD mini lockscreen only slides down and doesn't really work for slide across style slider. I'd be happy to make it for the WM Lockscreen if you like.
