Pimp your "My Programs" Panel...

I thought it would cool to peep some of the mods people have made to their "my programs" panels... kinda get a feel for what is possible, and maybe inspire some different layouts
Special Thanks to Kavana, RickWyatt and NRGZ for all their hardwork and direction... these ROMs kick ass to the fullest...
heres a look at mine:

how can i put my programs "bubble" in my screen?
how can I change the programs?
Please give us some extra info

Looks Awesome Guy!
Like I said with Rick's new 6.1 (30) Rom you are now in the art department for the Excalibur home screens, with this ROM you can be real creative. You are correct The ROM indeed does Kick's ass............!

Little Icon in My Programs
Does anyone know how to change the small icon next to the title of each My Program app? I would ideally like to remove it instead of having a generic program icon in the title bar for each program.

Here's a few of my screenshots of My programs screen

Poser, what font is that you're using for a system font in your screenshots ? And please.. at least share the icons you're using!

I changed the system resolution to 96dpi looks REAL nice but some of the system icons look out of wack and the standard system notification icons (the white ones) don't show...I'm sure one of the coders here can fix that for us but I'm waiting for them to reply in the Higher Resolution thread.

96 is ok for a PDA but to high for a smartphone like the Excalibur, which should be in the 82, 83 range, you are not going to have all your Icon on the screen, and the words will get larger. The Excalibur screen is not set up for a 96. I know what you are trying to do, raise the resolution quality, but you got the wrong mobile device, the Excalibur.............!

well the PNG icons work fine, but ur right the system icons are out of wack, I just figured someone would post a dll or whatever that can fix it...i'm sure there is one or 2.

My man... the icons can be found here and the font is good ole calibri. For some reason, I have quite the affinity for this font.
Speaking of which... does anyone know how to isolate and change the font adopted for rendering by Opera. I love scriptina for my clock font, but for whatever reason the change in 240x320.cpr results in Opera being rendered in scriptina... which reads for $%^&.
edit: @pdaddy... very sharp, very sharp indeed!

Can someone upload those original xperia wallpapers from official rom??

Hi!
I'm new to WinMo, so this may be a noob question, but... Can someone tell me please how to change the wallpaper transparency on Today screen? I'm asking because when i set up a picture as wallpaper, the picture displayed in the background is awful...as if it's in some white/grey tone, and of course the Icon titles are also displayed in white so i can't see them well.
Thank you very much for your help in advance!
Anyway SEX1i rocks!

Setting Wallpaper with 0% transparency
All you need to do is access File Manager, locate the image and open it. Now select Menu then Set as Today Background. Here you can adjust the part of the image displayed (if needed) and the Transparency. Bare in mind that if you change your theme you will have to go an redo this as it will default back to that ugly ass, greyed out crap.

800x480 wallpapers
Have a look at the Blackstone wallpaper thread for more:

S2U2 (Slide2Unlock2) animated GIF wallpapers (portrait and landscape) for QVGA devices (240 x 320 px).

To make it work:
1. Copy both GIF or JPEG files to your Storage Card;
2. in your device Go to Programs\S2U2 and open "S2U2 Settings";
3. Go to "Wallpaper" options and set both (portrait and landscape) wallpapers;
4. Then set GIF speed to 10 using "Override GIF Speed" Option, and check "Endless GIF Animation" ON.

is there a change that there can be done something similar for HD?
I'm using a VGA for my device...
is there a place I can download other similar animated themes? or is there a way to make my own?

I used Adobe Photoshop for the animation. You should find several tutorial on creating GIFs in Photoshop on YouTube.
I'm won't be doing a VGA version hence I no longer have the PSD source file so I would have to do it from scratch.

While this looks nice, I'm curious as to why this was posted in the Blackstone thread? Our screens are WVGA not QVGA so it is in no way compatible.

Does anyone even use this device ;p It's such crap ;]

as promise, hehehe. hope you can test it on your desire's if the gradient will convert to linear gradient, thanks guys.

BTW my Menu:

And you noticed that in that picture!
No idea mate - does the wallpaper setter scale down the pictures to some kind of jpeg?

Mmmh that's weird..perhaps android compresses the image chosen as wallpaper pretty much like win7 does? BTW in my humble opinion you should share that wallpaper wether we get the hang of this or not

Hahaha, i just made the wallpaper. Even i view it on gallery, still the gradient is linear. Am a graphic artist that is why it is very easy for me to notice this.
Ok, will upload the original wallpaper later on my pc, so you can test it on your desires. Thanks guys

So do you think, this type of rendering is normal? It's like we're using 65k color format.

He is telling you to download a program called "Wallpaper set and save".
I have used it too and for some reason, it seems to make the wallpaper look better.
You should try it out.
And share the wallpapers so that we can see if ours do the same.

WOW! that really did the job, thanks a lot. so the "gallery" of htc sucks i guess, or the graphic rendering of either Eclair or Froyo sucks, co'z as i still browse on the gallery, the linear gradient of the image still exist.

[Wallpaper set][Updated 4 may] Not for Mango!

I created these simple wallpapers with transparency. The grey is 75% transparant.
New! Windows Logo pack:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
WP7 wallpapers:
Stars pack. These are also 75% transparant:
The lockscreen becomes transparant when there is an animation, so when you touch it is tranparant.
Download:
WP7 Wallpapers.zip
Stars Pack.zip
Windows logo pack.zip
How to:
1. First download the zip file with the wallpapers.
2. Mail the wallpaper you want to yourself.
3. Go to the mail with your Windows Phone.
4. Tap on the pic in the mail. This will download it. Like pictures in e-mails.
5. Open the pic.
6. Don't save it to your phone. Tap 'use as wallpaper' from the options.
7. Now you have a nice lockscreen.
It won't work with password on!
Let me know what you think about them.

really like the idea of this, just one question, when I set it as wallpaper and wake the phone up (Not touching it) it shows the wallpaper as it should but in the background it shows the full image of the lockscreen off centre faintly in the background..
It's quite hard to explain but I don't yet have a camera I can take a picture of.. although when I do touch the screen to open it the opacity shows and looks nice..
I'm running mango if that may mean anything.
Cheers,
MVP

Glad you like the idea. It isn't working because of Mamgo. They took it out of Windows Phone 7.5. But maybe I will make wallpapers without transparency for Mango.
