Man I have been looking for themes for Vista and the only ones out there I can find want you to buy a third party app for $20 to install them on my laptop.
M$ site has zero themes for Vista even though you can change your theme where you personalize windows (right click desktop>personalize>themes)
I have googled enough to know that I need to patch Vista to allow third party themes but I am leary to do that when I know nothing about the sites I would be downloading from.
Just need a nudge in the right direction. Want to change the look of Winblows. Not just colors and background. Really kind of like to find an Android type theme.
Any help would be appreciated.
Running Vista Home Premium SP2
Considering going to 7 soon though and there appear to be a lot of themes for it out there but don't know if they need the third party app. M$ has like 4 themes.
Rainmeter (I think that's what it was called) my themeing days were 5 years ago, should've asked me then. Lol

Also, you can check on one of the boards on 4chan, I think it was wallpapers. There is usually a guide on how to theme desktops. That's where I learned my stuff from, and I had some crazy themes, and you couldn't tell it was any OS you know.
And before anyone says something, 4chan is a great site for many things. Its only looked down upon because of the /b/ board. And whatever you do, don't go to /b/, trust me, you won't be normal anymore. Not saying you are normal now, but you know what I mean.

Yes people still use it. It is a solid OS. And Windows 7 has been out long enough that it is getting near stable enough to switch over to so I will be migrating soon.
I hate that about the time Micro**** finally gets an OS working then they come out with a new one. Why not wait until the **** works right before releasing it?
Finally got around to playing with Rainmeter. Steep learning curve but fun to play with.
Here is my work in progress. This is a compilation of about 5 skins. Parts from here, from there. Then tailored in colors. The multi RSS feed was a PITA.
But it will evolve.

Yeah, you can chop, sample, mix, effects, and just about anything else you can do with a full sized drum machine. I know this is an extremely complex app, so chances are, we're SOL. but here's to wishful thinkin!!!
Yes this could be good, plug your TP into a mixer, brings a whole new capability to the device.
I also think though, that to port such an app would be an enormous task.
+1 on wishful thinking
Close thread
I think it's safe to say we can go ahead & close this thread. It's not getting too much interest, so i'm assuming it's either damn near impossible to port, or none of the dev's are really willing to give it a shot. Hopefully someone will drop a similar program from WM.
can somebody please port this i need this in my life.

no my friend... while these are all nice apps, they are NOT beat maker. None of the afore mentioned apps have a full functioning drum machine built into it. Not to mention, NONE of the apps allow for 3rd party plug-ins like Pro-Tools export, rewire, t-racks, etc. Beat Maker is the real deal. I'm seriously debating buying a iTouch SIMPLY for this app!!
Maybe you should contact the maker of the App and see if he would port it himself. Maybe he's already making a WM version to sell on the Windows Marketplace.
For the record, I would also be willing to pay to get a port of this app.

damn, why on EARTH didn't i think of this myself?! i might have to look into this.
i have this app "phoenix Studios" and i love it but its not vga and i stop using it because i didnt have enought memory to keep it going on my old ppc6700.
i almost got an iphone just to get that drum machine apps.
Wouldn't the fact that Raphaels do not have a capacitive touchscreen really hinder this Apps original functionality/awesomeness?
Our touch screens are resistive, and are thus incapable of multitouch like an iphone or g1 for example. (I have seen a demo of multitouch on a supposedly resistive screen around on the nets, but never seen a resistive device with multitouch capabilities released) http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/stantums-mind-blowing-multitouch-interface-on-video/ here's the vid
Just a thought, hope your dreams aren't too dashed.
no need to multitap and such.. we just gotta contact the maker of beatmaker and see if hes brewing a version for WM6.1 platforms!
so is this thing ported yet?
Omniano the Band, is the closest thing to date. The other would be Little Snazzy Drummer, which has a free Lite version as well as a paid version. Neither of these are quite as complex as the app. you mentioned, though I find them both very usable and entertaining.
I know that at least one app has been developed for iPhone to work with the PSN (on PS3) so that a person can see their friends list, so why can't it been done with Windows Mobile? I don't see how it's not possible (but, I'm not a developer, either).
You CAN see whether your friends are online and their status within a browser at http://www.us.playstation.com/PSN/Home, btw.
I will keep my fingers crossed in hopes that there is something out there for this or that someone would be able to develop a simple app for it.

I know... I would use this all the time. On my way home from work last night I was just thinking "man, I wish I had an app to see if any of my friends are on PSN right now". It'd be so helpful.
But, only a dream as of now. I wish someone would jump on this. If they did I'd be sure to donate to 'em.
The only programs you need to make an app are notepad and a compiler. It sounds more simple than it is though.

You actually went there and compared windows mobile to android hahahah
I am being forced into using the htc hd2 for work.
And windows mobile have to be the biggest piece of **** i have ever had the unfortunate pleasure of dealing with.
The htc hd2 is such an amazing piece of hardware but windows mobile completely kills it.
Why would you even think about doing something like this?
And what software are you talking about? wm more the android?
I cant even find a bank of america, pandora, last.fm simple apps like that for windows mobile.
You are not worthy of the droid.
can a mod please close this thread? it's an obvious troll
hm, who is the troll?
The person who just asked a simple question, or the people who have to run to bash him? Don't think you hard, you might hurt yourself
A dual boot would be kind of cool. The one thing that bothers me the most about android is not having native windows office support. It would be nice to get a real MS office program on my nexus.
I hate the viewers and I'm not really sure I want to try an editing software for $15 which probably is crappy.
This thread fails.

I think this may have its own advantages actually...although I did move from the HD2 to the N1 almost solely for Android...it would be nice to be able to use Windows Phone 7 though (thinking that the games for it would be nice, the preview is nice after all)....
Honestly, if someone made some kind of emulation for it, I'd do it just because "my phone can handle it" etc.
I'm sorry, you missed April Fools Day about 29 days ago! FAIL!
Wow I guess android fan boys are just as rabid as the apple ones. Who knew? I know that it goes against logic that someone may actually like windows mobile..
I came from WM to android because its so boring!...
I luv android and its apps!
Yes, steady guys!

why isnt there a wp7 dialpad for android that can replace the native android dialpad? and i dont mean one of those stupid apps in the market. i mean a package where you install and replce the android dialpad. its strange that people boast of how customizable android is. yet there isnt a wp7 dialpad for it.. this is VERY strange

youre right.. but since youre too intelligent to notice, the app that was suggested sucks and DOES NOT replace the current android dialpad. but of course, in your grandiose intelligence, you knew that.

I guess the closest you're gonna get to replacing the actual dialpad application would be flashing a new ROM?

What phone do you have?
You post dumb questions, people reply with dumb answers. This is the internet. Get used to it.
Anyway, on a more helpful note, you wont find a wp7 dialer, you might find something that has some of the features, but not all. I use exDialer, which is exceptional seeing as its barely been in development for 2 months and is absolutely brilliant. You can ofcourse build your own theme which would mimick wp7 closer
Just install the wp7 phone app and delete the phone appear from the /system/app folder.
If you don't even know how to do this, DO NOT EVER TALK IN THAT MANNER.

www.Gearslutz.com , baby!
Thats all im gonna say. You can get the app in the Google play store.
You wont find a better forum for your question. Its my other home.
Also since youre looking for a great place to start for your genre id say two things:
Free? Go for Audacity. Google it. Its open source 100% free software for pc I think mac too. IGNORE THE HATERS.
People say its crap but cmon man its not meant to be studio quality.
If you want to spend some cash buy a cheap daw that comes with logic or cubase.
As much as people rip on it Audacity is a great tool to learn from.
I personally prefer pro tools, and use pt10 with a digi003 r+.
Its a great set up.
But seriously gearslutz ftw.
:beer:
FL Studio is the best for beginners and users that don't need a better software to make music like Spectrasonics Omnisphere.
a friend of me uses fl studio
sony xperia ray
ics 4.0.4 rooted
stock rom
There's in iPhone app for it. That works the best for noobs.
FL Studio (Formerly Fruity Loops) or Audacity (free and very easy and simple). FL Studio is immensely more advanced then Audacity, but for quick montage and simple editing, I always use Audacity.
Or if you're really serious with this, Cubase is the way to go. It's fairly expensive (if you buy it), but it has pretty much everything you could want, even if you go professional. The Mac alternative is Logic Pro.
