Some people over here made some nice themes for WP7 and I made in Photoshop some additional .png Icons to use for your favorite programms and games. Of course you can use them to make your own theme as well as long as you won't use my work for commercial work and when you release it, please mention my name. It is free but it is always nice to read a comment of course.
Also I made myself a nice blackish WP7 theme for during office hours which has no animations or anything, just the basic which looks stylish for at work or customers: You can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655591
EDIT: 28-03: As it now really takes serious time, and it is over 10,000 times downloaded in total I created a donate button as signature. If you want to give me a beer, I am very happy with it;-)
VIDEO Theme modified, sorry for the little watermark in the middle, I had to convert from .mov to .flv for upload:

Wallpaper Weather, just replace these 4 wallpapers in the Wallpaper/METEO folder on your device. They are atteched as weather.zip

wow, nice work!
I have much idea for this skin but I will integrate this icons now :d
can you make a game background page 2 and 3 for add game because a lesscro background is not empty
thanks you
well, I tried some backgrounds, but with all this big game Icons, the background is nearly gone of course. Here a low resolution sample of something you can do to make it not to crowdy...
Other idea is to make the game shortcuts the same as the programm shortcuts, than a nice background will look good.
Cheers,
Arnold

same Question ??
To make it a little viewable, please don't use this topic for questions to LeSSCro and his theme as he probably won't read it anyway. This topics is just for Icons you can use for this theme or other W7 themes. I didn't develop the theme, I just photoshopped some icons for it Thanks!
You can ask him everything on the forum he made for his theme:

music favorites
I don't know how I can use the music psd to make the music favorites, looks cool, can you give me a hint, please?
UPDATE POSTED in POST #2
your games and a few others are added to post 2, check them out.
About the music .psd file.
Do you have photoshop? With that programm you can open the file, change artist and song, save as a .png file and put it on your phone.
Than add widget in the theme, set this .png file as the image.
by "Script on tap" add " choose "play a sound file", change sound files to all files in the top and search for your .mp3 song on your device.
Select OK, and now in " Script on tap" Change "Play a sound file" to " Launch a program". Save and there you go.
You have to change it to launch a program otherwise he would not play the song. When you tap it Default Windows Media Player opens and he will play the song. Just close the Media Player, the song continues and you can go on working with the Lesscro theme ;-)
Good luck.
Cheers,
Arnold
Just want to introduce a new app on the marketplace. It allows those who used to draw figures on separate pieces of paper and then flip the pages to make the figures appear to animate do the same thing on the Windows Phone.
Like everyone here, it was done during spare time, but who here really has spare time these days
In the trail version you can import a photo background for drawing and change settings for the playback rate and the different colors.
Hi, After rooting my Nook Touch I've been trying to find apps that work. It made sense to me if there was a sticky making it easier to play with our new toys so hopefully a mod will stickie this.
I haven't tried any of these yet but Aruangra said they work with Nook Touch:
Opera Mini (There are zoom buttons !. But it cannot access the local host (192.168.x.x))
Opera Mobile (It can access the local host)
Dictionary.com
NewsRob
Kindle
Documents to Go
Dropbox
InstaFetch
Aldiko
ASTRO file manager
SpeedTest.net
PG Calculator
BuzzBox RSS
Evernote
Moon+ Reader (The physical buttons can also change pages !!! and every page is refreshed. No more ghosting issue)
ADW Launcher (Maybe the only launcher that can change background color of Drawer)
Advanced Task Killer (a Must have)
Button Savior (a Must have)
NookColor Tools (a Must have)
Superuser (a Must have)
Rev01 says these work:
working (on restore)
Titanium Backup
Read it later (Pro)
ElectroDroid
RootExplorer
Terminal Emulator
Wifi Analyzer
Permissions Denied
Samba Filesharing
ShoppingList Plus
Wuala
Autostarts
XDA (Premium) (some threads are empty)
Tebra says these games work:
Crimson Fields
Andoku
Four in a Row HD
apeine:
Tried some, but most of them has some level of ghosting:
Working so far:
- Klondike
- Reversi free
- Nemo picross
- GObandroid (to play Go! - very good)
- Super Sudoku
- Klondike free
- Dark nova (used to love Space Trader on my old Treo)
- Repligo and ezPDF. Both allows annotation and bookmarking. Give it a try!
Repligo doesn't work, or at least it didn't work for me. It installed, but every time I tried to open a .pdf it would flash the menu to accept the license and then disappear.
ezPDF reader seemed to work just fine.
Sync with Google calendar
One of the major reasons for getting my Nook Touch was to be able to sync with google calendar. I was very upset when I learned the ability to sync the calendar was random until now...
synker allows you to manually sync your calendar and mail.
I also have found that Jorte is a much nicer calendar/planner than stock. Both of these apps are free and available on Android market.
The greyscale screen on this takes me back to my old M105 palm pilot days! Just for nostolgia, it would be pretty interesting to see some of these old applications revived either through a palm pilot emulator, which does not exist, or developer-made applications inspired from palm applications. There use to be a whole ecosystem of palm pilot applications built for greyscale touch screens (in super-low resolution) with a poor refresh-rate in mind.
I had an M100 too, and the way that Palm soft was integrated is nowhere to be seen nowadays (not on standard IOS, Android, etc), maybe only on WebOS. If there was such a family of apps as in Pam, the nook would rock. I'll second Starbux on his request.
I'd be the third for a Palmish app. I loved my Treo PDAs. I had some programs to this day I'm unable to find a good replacement for.

Hi! I've found this post looking for references to my apps, I'm the developer of Four in a Row HD (it has its own thread here at XDA).
I didn't know about the Nook Touch till now, that's e-ink screen, isn't it? I wonder how it looks there. I suppose choosing the "Plastic" skin (no textures, just vector graphics) and disabling animations in the options menu would fit fine.
I'm really curious to know how it looks in e-ink, could anyone send me or upload a picture or screenshot? Thanks, and enjoy the game!
google Talk and words with friends
anyone try to use either of these apps? Talk loads but only part of keyboard is shown, so you cannot send messages. my contact list shows up and i can send single words to people as long as the words dont include the letters that are missing.
i loaded words with friends and when i try to load a game or invite someone to play, it says there is a network error. maybe there is an easy fix to this?
other apps that seem to work.
sense analog clock widget
crossword light
google maps

Here is a screenshot of your game on the nook touch.
As you can see, it's a lite difficult to see difference between black player and the not used places on the 16 gray level of the e-ink display.
Thanks! It looks playable, but I'll look into adding a high contrast theme, not just with colors but with textures/patterns. 16 gray levels, OK xD
Thanks, Mocelet2000. I know that B&W tablets are not a "growing" market for Android apps, but your concern shows that maybe it is viable.

No problem, fortunately my game is not about fancy animations, so fixing the contrast in red pieces (haha, sorry, that's black for you) might be easy.
I have a 10" Honeycomb tablet, it is heavy and has too much brightness at night (even at minimum settings). The capacitive screen makes it impossible to write notes or have some precission when drawing. Of course, it's great for all the other things.
A lightweight tablet, with high contrast screen of about 7 inches, easy on the eyes like e-ink (a bit more refresh rate wouldn't hurt...), with resistive stylus, may be even cheap to make and would be the ultimate notepad on the go.
EDIT: a sneak peak of the new theme "Naughts and crosses" designed for black and white screens It will appear in the next update of the game in the Market. Since I don't have a Nook Touch, the following screenshot is actually a screenshot from my mobile phone displayed in my ebook reader (quite weird testbed, haha, but it's closer to reality than photoshop).
Four in a Row HD with enhanced grayscale screens support in the Market now, make sure you're installing version 3.3 at least.
Recommended preferences for the Nook Touch in options menu:
- Choose the "Naughts and crosses" skin.
- Disable animations.
- Check "solid black background" box in case the new gray stripes looks bad.
Other skins might look better now also, specially the default metal skin which has textured face. Moreover, the striped default background helps differentiating holes and chips.
If you've found this update useful, please rate and comment in the Market and/or the official thread at XDA, thanks so much!
Mocelet2000, Thanks for helping us out with the new skins. It's great to see developers supporting such an atypical device such as our Nooks. Ryan

Thanks for the report! It seems the Nook does not clear the canvas as it's supposed to do before each call to the drawing routine.
Anyway, now I paint a big black solid rectangle before anything else, should do the trick. Version 3.3b in the Market now ^^

I really loved that. Thanks for the LWP. So sad, No one appreciate your work , I guess.
Tapet is incredible. It automatically generates random wallpapers based on "patterns" (the overall style for each wallpaper). It retains the instructions to re-generate each wallpaper, and makes it easy to save and share these images. As far as I can tell the developer has no issue with sharing these. These aren't the best, they're simply my favorite among the 250 most recently generated. I also have it set to show some patterns much more than others, and I've turned off quite a few patterns. It can do SO much more than this. Feel free to dump your own!
Enjoy!
EDIT: I hope this is the most appropriate forum. These are made specifically for the Nexus 6P.
Very nice. Thank you
thns
nice work
those are killer wallpapers brahh!! thanks for sharing
Tapet is one of the best apps I have found in a long time. Coolest thing is that you don't have to download anything as its all "generated" but the beauty is the use of shapes and shadows to make it look good. I ended up buying the paid version just to show my appreciation to the developer for his idea and work. You can setup pre-defined interval to change wallpapers automatically or by placing a tiny (1x1) widget on your home screen to trigger randomize wallpaper generation.
Any ways, here are some of my favorites. Hope you like them.
