Hi all, here's something I've been working on these past two days.
I got tired of GTX Sense, and installed SPB MS, along with DOC3000 and Mskip's excellent Droid Pro+. Then I decided to give my device a little facelift, and, being a fan of pretty much everything post-apocalyptic, I came up with this.
The cab file will install the first taskbar (all it does is install the image, no color change or icons). I was going to make cabs for all three, but I'm having some trouble with my computer, so... What you can do is install the cab, rename the image you want to PAtaskbar.png, use Total Commander to move the file to \windows, and reset... You might want to do that because the first one doesn't look good in landscape (anybody know whether different images can be used for portrait and landscape?).
And a little extra, if anybody has some ideas, on how to improve it or something, here's the PSD file: http://www.mediafire.com/?d17mcr6t1vsccsw
BTW, the graphics were shamelessly ripped from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and reworked/adapted, and here's what it looks like on my rhodium: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9918676&postcount=864
Anyways, hope you like it

Hello everyone.
I installed psShutXP v0.29 and it is working great (except for Turn off device option). When I was testing different ROMs, one came with a very nice skin (black/white I think with a snow flake for "reset" or something like that). I can't seemed to find it anyone. Does anyone happened to have it extracted and can tell me where to put it to make it work? Or maybe someone has a cab with that skin already merged. I would really appreciate it, just want to customize my setting to match the theme! Thanks.
Got it. Thanks ASerg.
If anyone else wants a better skin for psShutXP, check this file out. Simple extract to Program Files/psShutXP folder! Enjoy!
Hey Guys, I'm fairly new to XDA but I love all the work you guys do! I thought I'd try and contribute something too, so here it is!
Here are two animated gifs I made (one customized for myself , the other for xda) along with the sound file. You can download the files individually if you want to install manually, but the cab file I made should work otherwise. Have fun and let me know what you think!
Nice work! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the work. Do we need anything specific to run this? WM 5,6,6.1?
I made it for my 6.1 rom, but I believe it should work for at least WM 6, as that is what my tilt originally came with.
Did anyone find if the cab works on other devices?
Works Fine!!
Loaded cab file .....soft reset.......works fine....on my kaiser
Nice work! Thank you for sharing.
I'm curious if it would be a easy task to modify the initials to match my own "SBB" ? I would bet others would like to do this also. Thank you!
Unfortunatly it is not an easy task to edit the letters. However, I did use gimpshop to make this animations. If you have downloaded gimpshop (freeware photoshop like app) you can open the gif in gimp and edit it there. I use the built in rippling animation to make the frames with rippling letters. Once again though, this is not an easy task as it is quite difficult manuevering in gimpshop. But that is why I included a xda one, so everyone could use that and show off our great site
I just noticed that on some ROM's the animation is interrupted by the windows mobile screen flashing in the background. Does anyone know how to fix this so that the animation is smoother?
Thanks.
Nice work listing im a newbie here, can u amke me something like this plzzz. Instead with the name Ricodemus. I was in the Marines I love the sword sound, can you add the USMC emble also?

I have tried the Samsung user interface on my phone, and I loved it only, one problem, no one has resized the icon to be finger friendly with a 480 x 640 VGA screen, so if any one can help that would be greatly appreciated.

TF3D and omnima are two different today plugins it pretty much what you like, you can try it yourself, but a word of warning might not be able to restart your phone if you select today 2 plugin ( I speak from experience) you will have to do a hard reset to bring it back up(reset button, volume down and glowing circle at the same time release reset and hold other two, then follow instructions. you will loose any date saved on your phone). but if you still wanna try search for samsung goodies thread and good luck
Here is the link for the program for those that haven't found it
FEWidgets
If you are looking for more widgets, check this: User Made Widgets
The app can be run as just an app to play around with it or can be put instead of tf3d as today screen. if you want to have a vga as background though, you will have to copy a vga pic in the program files folder few widgets.
vga omnia
for anyone waiting for a resize of the omnia ui its on ppcgeeks.com the link isbelow if someone can upload here that would great i tried and could'nt

I was wondering if anyone here knew where to aquire a WM6.1 theme based on the show "24"? Or, could possibly teach me how to create this for myself? Basically i am trying to find a way to have the back ground all black and with yellow or gold numbers and letters. (I did try googling this but to no avail)
so a black background with "24" in the foreground? And making everything else gold/yellow/white?
well I went ahead and made one (kind've practice for me ) you might like it you might not but here it is the theme is in the ZIP and the picture is what it looks like
You can always " get with the program " so to speak. Upgrade to M2D and use this theme:
http://cay720325.deviantart.com/art/24-TV-Series-Theme-104743869
wow KaiserII01, thats great work, and FAST too!! Some has got to teach me how to do that!! I downloaded it and am putting it on my phone as soon as I get home!!
What exactly is M2D? Is it still the standard WM OS or a different type? I must be honest I really like the 6.1 UI (I am weird I know)
Its just a interface for HTC's Touch Device Series (except for the Touch Pro Diamond, Touch HD etc.) its pretty smooth and nice for getting to something quickly
For whoever is interested,
I made my own skin for the Swype keyboard that looks like the HTC android keyboard but its only VGA portrait. I have no clue what will happen on a non-VGA phone. In landscape it is the original Swype skin because I don't need the landscape version.
BRAND NEW DESIGN! NOW WITH 2x THE AWESOME!
After a short experience with xdandroid I'm back in Winmo. Here's what's new, I'm calling it Swype 11 due to the new year:
To-Do:
- Finish Editing page
- minor tweaks/more colour
Jan 25th UPDATE
- More colour
- Finished Calculator page and almost finished Edit page
- the ^ on the symbols page was incorrect. I was actually a period (who knew?) so I fixed that
Jan 23/11 UPDATE
- I've decided to go a more colourful route, to help differentiate the buttons
- the two number/symbol pages are now done
- minor adjustments here and there
Jan 22/11 UPDATE:
- Using the 2.0 version because of previous preference and smaller size.
- I've totally revamped the previous version
- Both letters and symbols have increased in size, the ' is still pretty hard to see though
- Only small case, shift, and caps are done so far.
- I've improved my technique so I should crank out there rest relatively soon.
- I'm not gonna lie, it looks pretty damn good comparing the two
29-03 UPDATE:
My progress with the updated 2.0 version has been posted. The editing and calculator pages of the skin are not yet finished so my original skin is used for those.
25-03 UPDATE:
I've now started to update the keyboard and skin to the newer version (3.9.10.10.5032). I got the keyboard from PPCGeeks (cheers to jj62mtp, the second post). I know there have been issues but apparently this one does not cause any and it has worked flawlessly on my Telus HTC Diamond running MightyROM6. This skin isn't even close to being finished but again I'll only be doing the VGA Portrait version. Here's a taste of what I've got so far.

Hey yea sure, all you do is open the .cab with a cab editor (I've used WinCe Cab Manager, but to download it's only a 30 day trial). In the files you then extract all the .bmp files, and then just edit them to this skin (lol I've been using paint so far). After they are skinned, replace the old skin .bmps in the cab and save it.
thanks for the help
ps. if you or anyone knows how to play with the programming for the swype keyboard could you let me know? I wanna change some of the 'hold' symbols, possibly add smileys and play with the button sizes.

Um... well my diamond whose resolution is 480x640 is running on mightyrom wm 6.5 and your resolution is 240x320 so if this program can adjust the skin for the size the ratio is still the same... the buttons might be a little small for you. but honestly you'll have to try it to find out. worst comes to worst i dont think it will crash your phone so no harm there (but dont quote me)
what about an WVGA res ? (480x800)
Love your work
WQVGA???

Hey guys I have an HTC 8900 Tilt running WM6.1 and I installed swype 3.9. When I go to use the swype keyboard on the touchscreen, the keyboard was way too large for the touchscreen. The touchscreen fits less than half of the keys and theres no way under the options menu to fit the swype keyboard to screen. Attached is a picture of what Im talking about. Please help!

One major problem: if installed, then uninstalled, the original swype is uninstalled, too, and causes error message to appear when rebooting phone. Error message is something about a missing English file. To get swype back to working, I had to reinstall your version of it. And, the keyboard is a bit too small. My phone: A Samsung i920 Omnia 2 WVGA.
Anyone know how to get back the Samsung Swype version without hard setting the phone (not gonna happen), please let me know. I would appreciate the info. I've searched a couple other forums such as Modaco and PPCGeeks but Swype company has forced them to pull the file off their forums.
