Why don't we do sth similar for the Excalibur?

I agree. This could look good on our machines. And maybe I missed it somewhere along the line, but how is everyone getting the Vista style start menu with Tasks instead of Contacts?

Smart Toolkit r09 (which is buggy as hell for me, so is r08... r07 works nice for me)

1. Those look like "portrait" devices...
and 2. I think my excal looks almost identical in res, but I got bad eyes

Did anyone see this page or use this tool?

I'm going to try it now. Let ya know how it goes. *Fingers crossed.
**UPDATE - Ok. Well. Installed it, ran the .cab. Rebooted. Now it just sits on the Windows Mobile boot screen. Haven't given it a WHOLE lot of time yet, but ActiveSync won't pick up the phone so I can't reinstall the ROM. Any suggestions?

Just install some original ROM (from your brand) with the bootloader mode, and then you can install latest WM 6.1.. and don't play stupid games anymore
The default res is perfect to me... on VGA everything will become more small and unreadable .

I got it back up. (That's what she said! Haha!) Anyways, back to 6.1 the way I had it. Would like to get the resolution better though or at least try it just to see what it looks like.

Just changed a 2 registry values and my phone works fine in the higher resolution (been about 30 seconds, so far so good)
heres the ones u need to change from the VOX thread
Change [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\ Display\GPE\LogicalPixelsY] and LogicalPixelsX to 96 in decimal
when not on the homescreen using the colored battery indicator icons and such the icons don't show, they posted dll's for that in the VOX forum and I'm trying them out now, I'll let you all know.

So what EXACTLY did you do? Appreciate the help.

thats it...just changed those two values, rebooted and it worked...issues with STK and the top white icons but the homescreen works fine and the phone itself works fine, biggest issue is with the system icons, if anyone knows how to mess with DLLs and is trying this out I would love the fixes to those issues. Because it looks a lot better this way.
Oh and I highly suggest if you go over to the VOX thread DO NOT install any of those cabs, they forced me to restore my phone...twice because I had to try it again from a fresh boot.

works like a charm, but there are issues in display of icons (look rough) and the top bar displays white squares.
I switched back, did not stick to spot the other issues, hope it will be resolved soon so we could all enjoy a better looking screen (more items visible)

works nicely
This works very nicely for me.
changed:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\ Display\GPE\LogicalPixelsY] and LogicalPixelsX to 96 in decimal
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\cxVscr
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\cyHscr
to 3
(the last gives narrower scrollbars)
The start menu now contains 3 rows with 5 icons each. So more icons are displayed at a time. For some reason, only 2 icons are displayed on each screen, though, so 3rd row has only 2 icons...

Dudes. This just makes icons and text smaller .
If you don't believe me - try with some white sqare - 200X200px and see it on a diferent "resolutions" - its the same .
This makes text unreadable... its too small for me.

i can read the text fine. everything is fine for me, I'm just looking/waiting for a fix with the system icons, but I can deal with them. I had my phone on for like 12 or so hrs now and no ill effects as of yet. So yea...we'll see.

Yah, I just tried the RegEdit and all my icons look like crap. It would be nice if we could get this resolution without the icons looking jagged, the black bar on the bottom of the screen, and the white squares on top.

Nice!
Nice, thanks. Although I notice that in my HD is not fully working, I'm not able to get to contacts and I can only see one soft-button at the bottom, while I remeber from use on my old tytnII there were 2. Also the access to call history iw WAY slow. However is super-fast, hope they will preserve this speed for 2.0, it seems a capacitive screen!

I believe this VGA version they released is an older version of pointui. thats why it misses some features.
Call log is indeed slow, but playing around with this only makes you more eager to V2 release
i just love this app!

great Montecristoff
and thanks for your share

Its fantastic. Too bad its so "buggy" right now on the HD. But yes, it does make you anxious for v2.

Is there a way that I can change the background in this program?

you can only change the homescreen background.. just replace the bg.jpg with one of your choice in program files/pointui

Thanks!

it's fantastic great work!!thanks

Am using this at the moment - it's great Will use until Home 2 is released I think, thanks!

wow... this is great!!
thanks so much for sharing

Tried it on X1 and it works! Really cool, although some of the background images aren't large enough. Can't wait for version 2 to come out.

Hi,
I have no idea what is this program for...
But the first screen looks like that is some quality 800x480 background. So this program can really use WVGA wallpapers ? It doesnt resize them like TF3D ?

can i use this on other panel? (not today panel)
thanks so much~!
p.s. use in X1

Works fine on my X1. With Today Panel as well as with TF3D Panel! Now a panel version (start PointUI, and on panel switch end it again) would be nice...
Used it now for nearly half a day and no real bugs found yet.
BTW: the PointUI site is down...since when? Is PointUI2 coming?

the newest PointUI is almost out

http://www.pointui.com/development/final-stages-of-development-for-home-20/
We’ve frozen the feature set for the 2.0 release and have some serious testing underway. We’ll be announcing what you’ll get in the free and paid versions of Home and other information for those keen to get into some Applet scripting.

Cool, thanx, will wait for the 2.0 version. I hope they include custom sms interface too

Dock-N-Play Animated Today Background [Beta - 0.8 Beta Cab Available]

Beta Cab (0.8) available here: http://rapidshare.com/files/198951161/DNP_0_8_Beta.cab
All,
Dock-N-Play (DnP) is a "Craddleware" application that detects when your phone is craddled and on external power. If so it launches a "animated" today screen that provides a clock, email, current weather and appointments along with... wait for it... an animated background! This is one of those - "WOW that's neat... can I get that for my phone?" impress your co-workers applications. I have posted a few screen shots. My hope is a small community will help create animations to share with others. After the initial release in WVGA I will create a VGA version for others (likely not QVGA though - sorry)
The next release (after this one) will include some more options to:
- go full screen,
- assign quick-launch programs to front icons,
- change clock to completely transparent, semi transparent or fully non-transparent
A later release will add assignable quick launch icons to the middle of the screen for things like GPS navigation, Phone, Locking etc
Here are a few preview screens:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

Beta Cab available here: http://rapidshare.com/files/198951161/DNP_0_8_Beta.cab
Some known issues! {beta}
I believe this will only work on English ROMs... the next release will fix this. Setting location for weather requires "blind" typing or use of something like My Mobiler... also will be fixed. Please feel free to create your own animation skins but be forwarned that I will be making minor changes to the config.ini and txt files to accomodate needed internationalization changes. The next major release will include a PDF guide for creating skins but I'm guessing many will be able to just look and edit existing sample files. Also current CAb does not allow/display option to load to storage card... as soon as I figure out why I will fix this too
Please enjoy and know that fixes/enhancements will be forthcoming

Wow...very nice indeed.
One request, can this app have a lock feature?

Sounds Great, Hope It Goes Well, And Keep Us Updated

Incredibly nice idea, I'll definately test this out once you release the beta. Cheers!

try to make it run in fullscreen and take advantake of the hd's resolution.
thanks, and great project.

Great job...
Looks very good.. keep up the good work looking forward to test it

Can we have a youtube preview ? 'cause the picture previews doesn't really give us an idea of what it is like to have an animated background

I'm rebuilding my dev box with Windows 7 and watching the Superbowl... I'll put a video on my blog tomorrow and add a link to the first page.

Looks like a really great idea! Looking forward to testing it out, keep it up!

an Idea
abeery, what about an option to turn Touch HD into a picture frame ?
i.e full screen picture slideshow.
Good Luck to you and all Developers!

Some quick comments and answers
Added video to first link
Animations can be created by end users so picture frame possible
Full screen an option I will add but not use myself because I need full notication task bar icons for work

i love the idea!
what i would like to see in this app is a three mode function(or more).. for use in the car, home and office..
lets say i get in my car and i dock the phone on its holder, a screen will pop up with 3 big buttons that say "Car" "Home" "Office"
i click the button Car and the car menu shows in screen.. maybe it has a big clock a big "Call" button a Button to launch my GPS app etc..
when i receive a phone call in Car mode a screen should pop up with some nice buttons to answer or reject the call.. maybe a photo of the caller etc!
Now for the "Home" and "Office" modes what you already developed seem to fit
cheers!

I love this idea... Let me play with it and see what I can come up with... may end up being a version 1.5 release but I will do it.

UNmexed, fantastic ideas to add to an already fantastic idea. This is exaclty what I've been looking for, hopefully this will lead to us being able to use our WM devices as Windows Sideshow type desktop extensions........definitely going to be loading the beta~!

Brilliant work can't wait finally something to show off to the iphone boys.

Will we be able to get rid of the bottom "curtain" and make the clock smaller in order to see more of the background?

Maybe make the clock background transparent instead of white so that more of the beautiful animation background can be seen.

Beta Cab now available

Wow thanks will give it a try
Thanks a lot for your idea and work
I like a lot the idea of umexed +1

[TF3D] HD Manila3 All BG !!

Greetings fellow HD owners,
After 2 hours of work last night on my wrecked poor laptop, & a few
experimental versions on my HD... I proudly present my humble version of mun_rus Background for All app...

Credit goes first to our dear friend mun_rus, who has created the original Manilla Mods first for Diamond & then to HD.. Such convenience did he offer with his great Background4All
Credit also goes to maxycy ; my insperation with his brilliant themes... I knew he had the answer to this all along...
Also, to showaco for his app for pro.. I couldn't have done it without it
Now, of course .. this version is very basic;
It runs on HD (so don't try it on other devices!)
It runs on Manila v3 (AKA the new manila)
It runs on all tabs (no issues have been reported since last night )
So far, this version runs ONLY on flip clocks.. Perhaps an update could work it out with other clocks.....
I've attached it for you, so enjoy ..

great news mate,
cool thanks

Thanks sis

Thank you, wonderful news

Can you tell me what size of the original picture it uses please. Using it now (Great job by the way) and it seems to use only the top left corner of my original 480 x 800 background in portrait and the full width in in landscape.
Thanks

wow best news today for me.......

Close, but no cookie quite yet - the backgrounds seem to be zoomed into the top left corner of the image - even if the original image was the right resolution for my screen.
I don't know if it's just me that's getting this - not noticed any other comments on this problem.
Really exciting news to see that the all BG hack is coming to v3 though - excellent effort!
EDIT: Reading the comments again, looks like Shetlander beat me to it.

Worked for me, but there is a white rectangle in lower left corner. It looked quite ugly, so I uninstalled it. TouchFLO v3.0 build 32567.

I'v got the same problem - but it happened not till when I changed my background after installation. My first background had correct resolution, but I set it up before I applied HD Manila3 All BG.

Waiting for long time. Dream come true.

thanks for your job.
All the Best.

I report 2 bug:
-zooming
-after installed the cab, go in the foto&video tab. scrolling thumbnails runs orribly juddered.

Good work, thank you.
I would like to explain that is very difficult to have a CAB which will work like at old manila.
Now we need to make a portrait picture 480X800 to have the same looking with a landscape 800X480. It isn't possible.
We can't do this at the photoshop, will be done automatically?
We have to understand, If we want to have a cab so as we can use our wallpapers for all tabs portrait and landscape, we must make some concessions.
If no, we need work and time. The only way it is manual, using photoshop and M9Edidor. I mean the method I give yesterday in other post.
So we have to say a big thanks because he give us an app which can use anyone very easy.
Only we need to choice special wallpapers for this CAB.

Is it stable enough for the new manila v2.5

it's great idea, can't wait to test it.
Do you have any cab release?

itd be wonderful if you were able to integrate the zoom bar on my td2 to slide between tabs in touchflo.
looking forward to it regardless.

how do you get the options the used to be at the bottom (like menu or update now, depending on the tab)

looks really great
Please could you make it for manila 2.1...

rotastrain said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
across the bottom of the topaz, and i think a few other new htc's there is a horizontal region that is touch sensitive, its used to zoom in photo gallery and opera etc.
just had a play with both the versions of your fullscreen and i have to say that they're bloody amazing. I'm preferring the one without the retractable manila as it is a little buggy for me (understandably). there is enough room to have the slider there constantly.
the only things ive noticed so far, and you probably have noticed them yourself is that when you hit the 'end' key on the home tab the task bar appears, on other tabs the task bar appears briefly before the home tab refreshes over the top. (on further inspection the task bar stays there when you hit the end key whilst on the contacts screen, disappears when hitting end on others)
also there is an issue with swiping from the camera tab to the music tab, ie using the middle of the screen not the slider. didnt notice a problem going from weather back to music though.
im not trying to be critical as i understand its the first release. just some friendly observations on my first use.
i figure your next step is possibly aligning things, however that extra space created between the slider and the rest of the content would suit a notification area (battery, signal, missed calls etc)
just a thought

Doesn't work on [ROM][PDAVIET][WWE] BLACKSTONE WM6.5 ROM V56 (Core 23041) MANILA 2.6.
Getting just a white background.
AWESOME ideea!!! can't wait for updates

Very Cool!
May I use this in my Rhodium ROMs that I post? Of course I will give you proper credit.

Too bad it doesn't work on manila 2.1...

How do i terminate manila fix ?
any help will be much appriciated

i would suggest this screen to be permanent.. is there any chance to do that... permanently so that only if i wish it would get changed..??????
the only thing i hate in winmo with tf3d is bottom and top bar..
when its necessary i would better think about option to get bottom bar..
And is that bug or what? wallpaper couldnt get changed.... and some abnormal stuffs in background white screen

Looks great!
Trying now, thanks for your good work!
//edit:
Unfortunately it does not work for me. Experiencing white background and graphical glitches. I am on Duttys WM6.5 Leo R2 with Manila 2.5.19 (Leo)...
