ok so here is mine i have used. i will call this liverpool Champions league winners
1- date
2- weather panel
3- sbp gprs monitor
4- sbp pocket plus
5- spacer
6- today player
oh and i used CEcapture its free you should find it at www.limelink.com
Boring old today screen, fine-tuned for efficiency
Cool idea & nice today screen.
Mine's a totally different approach. I tried all kinds of backgrounds, but found that photo's make the text hard to read, so eventually I came back to the boring old default blue one... I expanded it to the top and bottom of the screen.
Wisbar
Pocketbreeze
Battery bar pro
Weatherpanel (in Pocketbreeze tab)
My Today screen is all about information. I want my appointments, tasks and mail notifications to be clearly readable, with important items highlighted, yet easy on the eyes - no fluorescent stuff for me. Notice the carefully chosen text colors and the everso subtle hint of font shading to make it stand out. 8) (ok I know, I'm so full of it... :roll: )
The icon console in the Wisbar top bar is my own design. I tried to make it as compact as possible, to allow for a lot of running program icons next to the start button.
There's four scrollable rows of program shortcuts in the Program bar.
Might experiment with skinning a little more, it's fun.
i like the wisbar plug-in do you know where i can get it for free :wink:

Works fine on my WM2003
where do you go to change the settings ????????????/
does anyone have a good windows mobile 5 ppc theme? or at least close to one?
Try this, its already optimized for PocketPlus.
I'm bored, so might as well post my new creation as well.
Juni's SWDeluxe Skin Suite v3.0
Juni's modified Chromium
Quickie question, those that have the task bar skinned...what app are you using to skin the notfication button and signal strength? Haven't found anything that works on the XV6600.
I'll post my today screen when I get home:
Date
SPB PocketPlus with Weather tabbed
SPB Diary
Messages
SPB 'Sphere' theme
I like my Today with plain black background. It's easier for me to read !!

It's Wisbar Advance 2. Skinning it yourself is not too difficult; I made my taskbar and taskbar icons with Photoshop. But there's plenty of cool skins available, like the ones from Juni.
I've found that with Wisbar Advance 2.0, my resources are very low and it slows down the entire ppc. Anybody else with this problem? I love the various looks I can make, but because of it being so memory intensive, I've opted, for now, to not run it.
I'm with rsbenedict on this one. I've tried wisbar a few times, but it always seems to slow my device to a crawl. Has it improved recently?
WISBAR has been improved, try it for me no slowdowns
Skinners are getting better and better. I personally like this one as it matches my unit casing.
Hey Nomadman, what app are you using to pick up the news story?
Q.
I love the tabs (used USB Home customizer to edit some icons and tabs) but the huge clock takes up all the space on the screen. I'd rather see more of my calender, than that stupid clock.
I know that I could use SPB Mobile Shell, but that program changes the way I do everything on my phone, and it takes up too much memory. It would be perfect if i could just use the home screen and nothing else.
If anybody knows of some alternatives, please let me know. I'm currently using the TodayAgenda plug-in and I'd like to see more of it and at the same time see my battery status and just the tabs of contacts, phone profiles, ect.

I like the Clock, it could be a bit smaller though.
Can we change the size?
regards
tim
I agree - a smaller clock would be a beaty.
I do completely agree. The clock should be (my opinion) quarter size, or less.
Agenda, calendar
What usually do people is to write in the agenda everything that woul like to do in a day, usualy never done.
Well to change item from one day to anther is a tedious work, specially because when you have changed some thing from 5 days ago to today (i.e.) then the day showed is today (instead 5 days ago, the day where you was working in order to move what you did´nt make)
Don't think ist possible, the clock is just 1 of the options of the HTC home plugin. When you click weather, contacts or programs, the size is the same as the height of the clock.
hm, not quite keeping htchome,
but how about using htc plus instead?
customizable via:
The layout is stored entirely as bmp images under \Windows\HTCPlus. And all the programs chosen can be modified under HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCPlus\Shortcuts.
see attachment:
I prefer normal thc home plugin coz plus not for my mobile freezes and totally slowing down of my artemis. Maybe no good with fracoon 2.2 version, but i dont think so.
Hi folks,
I'm looking for an programm launcher like the programs tab in TF3D, but I'd like to have multiple pages, as the 24 places in the tab are way to few.
Else I want to assign it to an hardware key, so I need an application, that is not integrated in TF3D.
Does anyone know a good app for this purpose ?
I guess someone already made something like that, but google and the forum search didn't bring it up.
Sounds like a job for Wisbar Advanced Desktop, I have 8 tabs on the main screen, 20 more fading in with one finger gesture, or configure a mainscreen tab to directly open a launcher page with 20 tabs per page, where tabs can also be a Inbox, URL or shortcut to opening a program with a given file. Then switch between unlimited launcher pages with one finger gesture per page.
^^ can you please tell me what part of wishbar advance i have to activate to make my screen look like that??
Look at MortScript and Mort Buttons You can add the buttons to start menu, Today screen or to the TF3D Programs page. each button has a full page or even multi-pages you can add apps, commands or scripts to. Really handy!

Its not Wisbar Advance (Task), but Wisbar Advance Desktop
http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products/pocketpc/WisBarAdvanceDesktop/
Then you need to install Sergej's free Blackberry Theme to the themes folder of WAD, and activate it as your default portrait mode theme.

that looks really nice ... but how does is look in landscape mode? does it support landscape? if yes, i'll give it a try
Dont use landscape, but the program differentiates between those two modes, so you could just re-arrange the dock and tabs to fit your landscape preferences. For me the key feature was to be able to show unlimited appointments on my main screen.
already tried yota center?
Me I use UltimateLaunch that I looove with Yota

Yes indeed, but as a today screen where you have full control of what to put on it!

how to set the WAD as today screen? by disable the TF3D only?
last time i did try WAD, but, i didn't set it as today screen, i need to launch it as other program to get WAD work.
so, everytime you soft reset or wake up your HD, you will see WAD in your today screen?
Just disabled TF3D, started WAD installation, and WAD came up as today screen automatically. Yes, WAD is full today screen, but you can choose if you want to keep the Start and taskbar on the top of the screen, or have it disappear. Most standard Today plugins work from inside the WAD today screen, too.

thanks a lot Lucas, i will try.
Thanks for the ideas.
I'm already using Yota Center and its a nice program.
The only thing is that I'd like to have more pages, cause 24 places is too few.
I'll try Mort Buttons, looks interesting though.
have you tried launchmanager ? it's not free though ...

Thanks just one more question. When launching the Music player or Photo Viewer etc, are they the normal HTC ones or are they customized now?
Are they still easy to use?
Also does all your programs work normally? And if you don't like the WAD, you can easily delete it?

No, they will not be the HTC apps embedded in TF3D. You will set up each icon to open up your own apps. I haven't heard of anyone being able to use the HTC player or album yet as stand alone apps.
Yes they are very easy to use!
WAD will not affect the way your programs run. It is simply a launcher program (one of the best that I've seen yet).
Yes, you can easily uninstall WAD by going to remove programs and uninstalling it from there...although I have a feeling you won't want to after you get the feel for what it can do to your today screen!
Thanks that was a great explanation
just one more question for example do you mean it won't have a built mp3 player or something like that but you have to download a 3rd party one and assign it?
EDIT: I just bought it and installed the Blueberry theme but doesn't show up properly, i wonder why. I'm missing the clock, the calender and whenever i press the box on the right side, a empty grey box opens.. weird.
EDIT: Fixed it up by selecting Wishbar Desktop rather than HD BlueBerry, weird. some parts are still German even after applying eng buttons.

You can set it up to use Windows Media player if you want to, otherwise a third party app is what you will need. CorePlayer or PocketPlayer are a couple to check out.
I haven't installed the Blackberry theme for WAD yet but I do no if you don't have the icons installed in the correct places the theme will not show properly. I ran into this same problem when installing Mallmans Vista theme. As soon as I went back and followed his instructions perfectly, the theme was correctly displayed.
I'm not familiar with setting up different languages so I'm afraid I won't be of any help to you there. You may check out the Lakeridge WAD forum for that.
Here is how I have my WAD looking right now, a tweaked version of Mallmans Vista theme!
Hi Guys
Well I've stuck SPB MS 3 on my device and I have to say that it's quite nice to configure and I especially like the wide background with scrolling....
One thing I'd like to know is if any other Widgets will come out from modders/devs or whether we have to be happy with our lot in terms of stock Widgets.
Aldso, to address the battery drain issue....I have a strong feeling that this is related to anothe3r piece of software....as I have had SPB MS3 on my Touch HD (Stock ROM) for the last couple of hours, received a couple of calls and some MMS messages (with constant data connection live) and I am only on 95%.
Comments on either points welcome?

Please, you have posted this almost word for word in every damn thread on the site that mentions SPBMS3, often more than once.
You are entitled to your opinion and what you say may even be entirely valid, but for the love of pete, STOP! We get it, thanks.
And not only in xda !!!
But he's got a point though..!!
OK - he has a point but he's destroying the merit of that point by being a bit of a fool....anyway, do we know if it's going to be easy to create widgets ourselves?
That was really the reason for my post
is mobile shell 3 out already then????
SPB Mobile Shell 3
Hi Guy's
I have taken a look over at Infosyncworld and watched this video http://www.infosyncworld.com/news/n/9030.html it reminds me a little of the SPB mobile shell 3's carousel.
Comments from page above: "Pros: Brilliant interface, among the best we've seen for a mobile phone. Smooth animation, great colors, sparkling effects".
Cons: "Nobody is building this into a phone . . . yet."
No correlation but striking nonetheless.
I've just posted my thoughts over on the SPB forum,
it is good...but there are also a few things that aren't
1) I do like the ability to change widgets, size of widgets etc, but I'm missing the battery indicator on the professional now screen
2) The call log has already been mentioned, but it's certainly not the best so I wont go there again
3) The now screen calendar, I can only get 1 week to display on either of the now screens. That means that today (sunday), I can't see anything for next week. Also, as pointed out for MS2, the bold to indicate a day with appointment still isn't clear enough..another colour would have been better
4) The phone doesn't automatically return to the Now screen when turned off. it returns to the last screen you were looking at
5) the option to change to two softkeys on the today screen (Touch HD) has gone. On MS2 these defaulted to SBP menu and Calendar I think. I changed mine to SPB menu and Now. The SBP menu still works, but the now gives an error that the "nowscreen file cannot be opened"...and no way to change this
6) I still use my today screen because of the PhoneAlarm plug in. MS3 takes two clicks to get to the today screen, MS2 required only one.
7) the facebook integration only works for contacts in your favourites list
8) the ability to email a contact has been added though, which had been requested so that's a good thing
so..to sum up....I'm undecided on whether to upgrade when the full version is released, or go back to MS2

This is not a problem for me when I'm running MS3. The notifications appear as they should. I've read some people are having issues with the CAB install (although I haven't had any issues with it), have you tried the .exe install?

Read through the thread to find some useful tips with customizing as well!
i have installed both the exe and the cab version. same problem. on startup notifications works, but after i been in startmenu or a other menu the notifications fail to come in notifications of ms3
life style background
i have found that if you use a ratio of 1.6 to 1 shows the background image the best. the size does not seem to matter as long as it has this ratio.
edit: sorry I posted this in the wront thread, I ment to post it in the diamond themes, applications and software as this ratio is for vga. again sorry for the mistake.
decided after some testing to go back to TF3D - I dislike the use of WM to preview the texts and emails - TF3D has a better mechanism for me in that respect...nice UI though.

As for the fact that it removes the carosel, it's well worth it.

Hi, I'm using this theme for the first time and I'm having problems with opening sms messages. I get signs for recieving the texts but when I go into the messages page I can't open them at all.
Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to recify this,

How to remove some pages/screens, Dont need all 7?
I have a question regarding the number of screens, Can i change it? I dont need that menu menues, and over half of them are left empty. Can I remove the empty ones?
I also miss favorite contacts buttun/window, How can i get that?
Thaks alot for any tips!
Favourite contacts buttos is still present: Add Widget -> Diver Sence -> ContactsFav.
And AFAIK there is no possibility to change number of screens...
i dont get any word at this site.
Could anyone upload it to rapidshare and post here link?
btw there is english support for this?
My PC died
Hey everyone,
My PC died and I wanna download this via mobile...
But Mobilecustom doesnt work right with mobile downloads...
I asked the maker and he said that i could see if someone else could upload it to their 4Shared or megaupload or something and grab it from them, it would be okay.
It is not okay to post a download, but someone could email me link...so the mass public wouldnt get it...
please PM me if u can help!
For those having problems installing it, make sure that:
1) You are using SPB Mobile Shell 3.x.x
2) You have installed the Message2Reg.cab so that you can use the SMS widget
3) All else fails, reinstall SPB MS3
Personally, I think this theme is fantastic, although I would like to somehow link every page back to the home page with a button somehow...since you sometimes have to swipe three or four times before you get back to the home page.
Other complaints are:
1) No carousel...i miss the eye-candy =P
2) Some widgets are in french, although that's easy to live with and also makes you seem more sophisticated to your friends
3) You cannot change the Professional page...it is now a redundant page that only shows the time and battery meter - I would prefer to have my agenda or calendar there
4) You cannot use the widgets unless you use the full theme...unless there is some "widget capture" program that I have missed
Otherwise, it's a fantastic theme! Definitely worth it and it is good for novelty if nothing else. Somebody actually asked me if I thought that the Android OS was good!...until I told him it was WinMo and he was like " no way!"
Any idea of how to change the launcher button to fav-contacts?
How do i change the "launcher" button to a contacts button? Saw a screenshot in this forum on page 17 that someone had done it.
Dont se the point of having a big button for luncher menu on every screen?
I cant seem to make it fullscreen.. i would like to have the ugly top bar gone?? is this possible?
I could definitely do with a list of widgets, and images to go with them. There's about 20 clocks, and dozens of message widgets. It's really hard to customise it not knowing what's what.
[hint hint, if anyone wants to do this they would be being very useful]
pretty nice theme thnks
Sence Revolution
Great theme running on my Raphael alongside Blue Eye TF3D theme. Just need to change background of Sence: I know how to delete background file etc, but do not understand 16bit bmp. files?? Photoshop offers me a choice of 8bit or 32 bit. Can anyone help me choose the correct res ?
