All functioning and even the screen orientation icons make sense now.
Thanks to icons mostly from here:

Realize weather icons from oscarbum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3032867&postcount=24
[UPDATE] Added neon weather icons to neon.zip file (adapted from original Vito icons)
[UPDATE] See post #59 for extra Neon icons in a dll file. They can be used by calling them in a .lnk file as described elsewhere in this forum.
Briefly, you make a txt file and the syntax would be, for instance:
81#"\Storage Card\Program Files\CorePlayer\player.exe"?\Storage Card\My_icons.dll,-20
where the number 20 is the icon index in the dll file. I've also attached in post #59 a png file showing the icon index number for all of the icons in the dll file.
Best of luck
Great, thank you!
That's funny. I've been working on a new theme for WAD2 using this set and it didn't occur to me to use it for WF. Nice work.
Amazing Work! Thanks
For me, THE best skin for winterface... great job, and thanks for sharing
Posted the various links for WF themes here on xda-devs...
...at blog.iwindowsmobile.com
and the moderators keep removing them.
I wonder why :-/
i think they still see skinning as hacking. but then what do they expect if they don't offer alternative themes themselves? even though the software is pretty good, many people won't buy it because of the oppressive look of the UI.
people want a constant theme running through their whole device and application UI, or they want to be able to tweak things to their satisfaction
*more people will buy the software*
hope someone from Vito reads this.
i love it man vito/iwindows should allow open skins for this it makes it more attractive...and i was think (maybe its too ipone-ish but) they should lock the bottom bar and allow us to put our most used apps/settings/contax etc there just a thought but im addin this new skin to the collection
Great! Thanx friend!
thanks for all. I like it. I love the VITO Interface but now it has a very very good look and beautiful colors...
Thanks a lot...
Just for a laugh...
...some hand-drawn icons added to first post
nice, nice... thanxx man
Nice, thanks dave
If you ever decide to do another Winterface theme...
Here's some things I've found that might save you some time....
1. Don't do a calendar icon. Winterface replaces it with the background icon in the black file and puts the date on it.
2. Don't do a clock icon. Same reason.
3. Also, the weather icon in the icons file is no longer used. It pulls the info from the weather icons.bmp.
4. On my phone anyway, Winterface doesn't use the calculator icon. Kind of an odd glitch.
5. I don't use bluetooth, so I don't know for sure, but unless the plain bluetooth icon opens bluetooth explorer, doing all three icons is pointless too.
6. This next point actually adds time, but I noticed you did not do anything with the top row contact icon. It is skinnable, you just need to make sure you do EXACTLY the same thing to the contact icon in black.bmp.
Great job, as always. I hope to be back working on more icons soon as well once I finished my Blackberry Bold theme for WAD2.
Another theme
Here's one I threw together this morning. (Are we nearing the point of simply having a Winterface theme thread?)
I don't know if I've posted the weather icons before but it goes well with the realize theme.

Although I think it does use this icon if your default calendar app is not the standard Windows one. One way of working is to have your appointments shown on S2U2 as you unlock and use a better calendar such as Thumbcal as standard
2. Don't do a clock icon. Same reason.
3. Also, the weather icon in the icons file is no longer used. It pulls the info from the weather icons.bmp.
That's another ton of work I have to do :-(
4. On my phone anyway, Winterface doesn't use the calculator icon. Kind of an odd glitch.
Mine neither, but I figured that's because I dono't use the standard calculator
5. I don't use bluetooth, so I don't know for sure, but unless the plain bluetooth icon opens bluetooth explorer, doing all three icons is pointless too.
Yes, the plain one opens Bluetooth settings
6. This next point actually adds time, but I noticed you did not do anything with the top row contact icon. It is skinnable, you just need to make sure you do EXACTLY the same thing to the contact icon in black.bmp.
I thought the very same thing this morning. My upcoming theme will change this icon as well
Great job, as always. I hope to be back working on more icons soon as well once I finished my Blackberry Bold theme for WAD2.

Should be able to post another here in a day or so, depending on whether I take on the buttons and the weather icons as well!
Good work and thanks for the tips
well i notice the slide to unlock image (lock) is messed up. also, there are pink dots on bottom left and right of bluetooth icon.
other than that they're amazing. thanks for the icons.
we are also waiting your last theme with realize icons,oscarbum.
thank you both.
is anyone else having this issue.. it's also noticed when i move icons around and when one icon goes over another, it has parts of the icon that is transparent and that's how the lock looks when it appears. this is vga supported, right? i have touch pro.
Yes, I think that's the messed up lock icon that was mentioned
on another note though, I can' get the contact pictures to work if I change any of the contact icons as you said oscarbum.
I've tried changing the two in black.bmp and the one in icons.bmp in every combination and it doesn't work.
The pictures need to work in three places in the theme:
When you view you contacts ready to dial
When you select the contact to bring up details
When you add a contact.
There is no combination of changed icons (all identical) that works.
Is there a way to view a decent sized version of a contact icon? The biggest version I can think of is when someone calls you and you see their contact icon come up on-screen.
Bit inconvenient getting someone to call you just so you can look at their contact icon though.
Hi
Im not sure where to post my request, because i didn't wnat to "blow up" the FAQ&Help-Thread with a request, but if a mod thinks it fits better there or in another part of the forum, just feel free to move my thread.
I was playing around with dozens of sliders and lockscreens, but im not happy at all. Maybe it is because of all these phantastic screens mady with help of psd's (Photoshop) and more. I dont have photoshop and dont have "skills" doing some nice screen by myself, so maybe someone can provide me with some nice WLTheme and Background.
Lets start with the slider. I like these new Sense 3-Sliders, like these:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13151132&postcount=544
All i want is nearly the same, just with a few less arrows. And i'd like to see the text "unlock" changed into the german "Entsperren", or maybe no text at all.
Now for the background/wallpaper. I love shelfs, like this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14300526&postcount=31660
or
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/607/33111.jpg/
I'd like to have a background with maybe 2 or 3 shelfs, where i can put my icons on it by myself, and maybe one without shelf, for playing around. I know that putting the icons on the shelfs without playing with the psd's is hard, but i could try
I will either use these icons:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13151132&postcount=544
or maybe
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14307546&postcount=31692
(the round ones)
For the colours....I like black, dark blue, dark grey, but please no green, no orange, no pink and other "freaky" colours
This is a very nice Background too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14315167&postcount=1218
This is something i'd like to use
I have a SonyEricsson Xperia Play (480 x 854). If you need more details, tell me.
Can someone do me the favour of doing these things?
Would love it, thanks
I have/had no skills either but downloaded GIMP (it's free) and googled for instructional videos to watch and asked the others here on xda how they did theirs and learned to do what i wanted done. Frustrating sometimes but worth the effort i think .
Good luck !
I am nearly done with something looking like

I was able to arrange the icons so close together as in the screens. I had to change the grid/alignment of WidgetLocker to 12x12.
But some tiny things are missing. Maybe someone can lend me hand with that.
I am using the same Icons as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14300526&postcount=31660, but i wasnt able to find the phone icon. I went to Agamemnon's deviantArt-collection and found the icon:
http://agamemmnon.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=24#/d3gjnie
I grabbed the icon, but it has a white background. Can someone edit it for me and make a transparent background so i can use it?
Then i saw this nice Gmail-Ribbon:
http://agamemmnon.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=0#/d3hftzy
Can someone "combine" this ribbon with the dark Mail-Icon, so it will look like this one?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14300526&postcount=31660
But even if i can manage these things, there is still one issue. I am using SMS Unread Count for adding notification-bubbles to the MAIL, DIALER and MESSAGING icons. But the bubbles are way too small. This happened because i had to change the WidgetLocker grid/alignment to the maximum of 12x12.
Can someone help me out?
Thanks
Hi folks.
Recently I'm working on a theme for my P10 and I'm facing a problem. I tried to change all icons, but one I can't recognise, respectively I don't find it in the app list. I need Your help to identify this app. Please see the picture below. It's a pop-up window when you long press a picture in the gallery.
Thanks for your help.
For me it's the same icon as the Gallery icon.
I'm I using the icons from Porsche Design.
Thanks. That has helped me a lot.
You're welcome
Another question. I have a monochrome theme. All nice, the only problem is the stock email app. There are the pictograms colourful. Does anybody know if these pictogrames can be themed. Or is there a solution to get rid of them? I don't really need them.
Look in this theme..
[Theme] Mono Grey (EMUI 5.x)

Thanks again for your answer. Unfortunately this theme has also the colorful bubbles in the email app.

Hi - I have always had Galaxy phones and I create Contact shortcuts for all my friends that I use to quickly dial or text them.
I used to just use the Contact Widget and it would create a shortcut with a photo of my friend (I had uploaded those).
On my S23 when I do that its creating the shortcut but on top of the photo, in the corner, is an ugly, distracting orange mini-Contacts app icon. Looks terrible.
This never happened to me in the past and I just cannot figure out how to create the Contact widget without these ugly icons on top of them....
Thanks!
EDIT: Added links to two different HOW TO videos. The first shows how it used to look (no orange contact icon on the shortcut). The second shows how it looks know with the highly annoying orange contact icon imposed on the contact shortcut. Thanks!
