Hey ya'll.
I've been working on a new idea for the sliding panels layout. It is fully functional so far, I am currently working on the exe for everyone, so that you may keep your current layout order and all icons, then have them swapped to the new panel layout.
Below are some pics of what it looks like. For all intensive purposes, what I have done is position the layout of the screen so that the panels still move left to right, but scrolling between panels is done also left to right using the icons at the bottom of the homescreen. You still push up and down to scroll between the panels, but it appears as though it's moving left to right.
I am still going to spice up the resolution of the pngs for the different icons, but here it is so far. In a few days, I will have a cab posted for everyone to download. This is a solo project for me, so it will take a little longer since there is no one but me working on this.
Check out post #2 for additional pics.
Let me know what you think!!
Here are some more photos
Here's the rest of the shots I have so far.
the pictures look great.
im just not sure what you mean by the up/down and left/right etc. stuff.
could you explain?
but besides thatttt... good job =]
easy
Simple, Watson.
LOL, what I meant was, you scroll through the panels just as before, there's no difference in the motions.
With this new layout though, instead of your condensed icons running from top to bottom, I have put them at the bottom of the screen in a bar/slider.
Now you have the entire homescreen to display your active panels, and have an even COOLER row of condensed icons, that scroll as you move from panel to panel. That's it.

It looks like the launcher/panel/bar/whatever in MacOS X. "Mousing over" the icons with the up/down keys shows the panel for that icon. Right and left then work just like they do now. Right?
Yep
Right-O me matey. By the way, wassup beartard, we haven't talked in forever. How's it going? I'll get with you on the im, later.
Hope you like this. We can customize this to make it work anyway you want. This has a bar like you call MacOS X, I'd like to refer to it as more of an "Object Desktop" kinda thing. I will have some more theme ideas for this as well with some new dll's for the bronzeres.dll. You can already see some of that from the screenshots I have.

Hi i love the idea and am going to try it out.
suggestion thought i think it might look cleaner if the panel on top the active one i mean had some sort of border or something to case it in. I bet that intails alot of work but i thought that might look nice.
maybe a light round cornered rectangle of equal proportions for all panels transparent just a faint white? LOL like the original slideing panels but youre setup lol
Looks really sweet so far man, will it include your weather app as well? Great work looks like it will be a much needed change to sliding panels!
It does look great, good job
Good job, it looks great. So when will this be available to use for download?
I am about ready
I have this setup for layouts already. I am trying to figure out how the hell to customize this for everyone, I am having luck, but it's coming along slowly.
I am glad you all like this so far. I am going to make this work with my weather app, plus as far the weather app is concerned I am gonna have to make it have this app be compatible, so there is a lot to do. I wanted to let you all know that the way this works will cause all of your custom panels to be located over a general "small" icon on the bottom row.
What I mean by that is, this uses your iconpaths in your registry, so that you don't have to use my custom made icons. You can keep your own. But since all of the custom panels have the same GUID value in the registry, it will put your icons for your custom panels all over the bottom row and not look pretty, so in order to fix this, I have to put all of your custom icons in one area on the bottom row of icons. If you look at the screenshots, you can see what I mean. All of your active icons will display over the generic hard drive icon, which represents your custom panels. Other than this one thing, it works flawlessly. Unless I here some serious flack about that one thing I just mentioned, I should have this out in a day or so.
Later

Oh right on, well I will be waiting for this. Thanks again for putting something like this together.
Here's some more shots
I have toyed around with having a background for the icons at the bottom.
I am gonna make several different layouts with different pics, but this structure of the homescreen will stay the same regardless. It will always be a left to right sliding look.
Also, I have gotten integrated with my weather app.
Also, I have made some new xml's for this, you can choose from the iconbar uptop, which will have new icons, you can also have one with no iconbar, or one with the topbarnotes plugin on top. All of these will come with a version with a background for the iconbar or topbarnotes and a version of each with no background.
I will post more screenshots later. Got the family thing to do for now, enjoy.

I absolutely love it.
Looks like a useful util
Thnx
So when is launch date?
Looks nice so far...
will it support portrait mode ?
OD man your killing me. I can't wait to try this out. I have been waiting for the install since you first posted this. JK don't rush it.
ok .. i have an ideea for a new UI for the blackstone ..
those anyone know of an existing skin or UI that allows you to put yous icons on the today screen and move them arownd from page to page like the iphone .. basically an interface on the today screen betwen the upper start bar and the lower one on witch apper only the icons(backround remains the same) and the icons can be sorted on diferent pages witch you can freely move through like the iphone ..
it wold be cool if someone could make this .. ore just strip down the winterface UI..give it a backround and make`it fit between the lower and upper bars ..
please excuse my bad english .. hope you understood what i want
waiting for an answer ..
kind regards
have you considered using Wisbar Advanced Desktop 2 (WAD2) or Mobile Shell 3 (MS3)? they both allow you to rearrange icons and the like. WAD2 is much more flexible, but it does require more work...but it's relatively easy to pick up.
good luck
The iphone look-a-like apps went out of fashion yrs ago you like this plain boring screen with icons?
Oh and there's at least 4 apps that do this already, did ever consider a quick search of the entire forum or the internet?

the ideea is to have the icons on the today screen(just the background area) and insted of having diferent tabs like the spb 1 (i don`t know witch version) to have them placed on diferent screens and to swipe your finger to move to through the screens with the animation that the iphone has (that will be the only thing that resembles the iphone .. i don`t want a UI that takes all the screen ).. the Wisbar Advanced Desktop 2 seems to do something and i kind of love the ideea even if it`s not what i want .. but it`s too laggy and the lower "start bar" or what ever it`s called is changed as well ..
i searched day and knight and found nothing like this .. that`s why i started this new thread and gave`it this title .. to atract the developers .. maybe .. just maybe someone will love the ideea and start developing ..
P.S. ... i will consider giving giving a generous donation to the guy who will make this possible ..
cheers
I have not contributed enough yet to be allowed to post in the development thread, however this is a two part development question regarding Tommy's Classic Rom.
I know that changing how many home pages you have and the order of the pages is handled by a launcher mod. I typically use GoLauncher. I was wondering if that capability was something that could be worked into the CCP? I am a minimalist, and I use swypepad, so I only need one home page. I would like to be able to remove the extra empty pages that I don't use.
I like the ability to have a "dock" or row of items (widget or app) along the bottom of the screen/side of the screen if tilted. If this is a mod that could be included as well that would be great.
I love all the options you have built in and adding thest two options, in my opinion would make your rom complete. I am really looking forward to the SuperMagic!!
Thanks for any feedback. I have thoroughly enjoyed the classic rom and have been using each new version as they come out since the very beginning.
Thanks Tommy and Dread for all your hard work.
edit--- I also make use of a GoLauncher feature called gestures. I can gesture down and cause an action to occur and I can gesture up and cause a completely different gesture to occur. Gesturing on the home screen. That would be a cool option to have available too.
Thanks!

Most of what you just asked about,requires editing the lines in the default.xml file,if anyone can make this a mod,it would definitely be Tommy.
Thanks
Thanks for that information. I was wondering if you or someone could point my questions Tommy's way? I was wondering what his thoughts are on adding or not adding those items to his rom. I figure he has reasons for what he does and I am the curious type always trying to learn.
Sent Tommy the link to the thread.

a few questions how exactly would one go about getting the beats mod a xloud to work exactly i know normally with beats a icon would appear in the top of the screen and this would indicate that you have some sort of beats codecs working as i have flashed the mod and do not exactly know how to go about getting this to work nor do i see a xloud app in my app draw..
can someone make a zip or know of a app in market where the color can be changed to any color in the status bar and add a battery bar?
any chances of this getting tweeks built in such as sd readahead and cache dump from within the tweeks etc?
also can not figure out how to make the small icons on the four corners in the home page for example on one of the pictures it looks like there are like four diffrent apps short cuts in each corner.. any help would be greatly appreciated love this rom and very stable and speedy i think i found my everyday rom....
ugh now time to go cut the damn lawn..

Just drag the icon of the app you want in there into it. Each corner bubble will hold 4 apps each. Pretty cool rom. I've been loving what Diablo has done with it.
On the beats thing, no clue.

I need my navigation bar scaled up to probably 150 DPI.. Framework.res is way out of my league and I've seen some members uploading flashable .Zips so if that is possible it's exactly what I'm looking for. I'm using the Xenon HD ROM but I'll honestly settle for anything compatable at this point... I don't know if this is okay with forum rules but I am willing to pay USD through PayPal for this, as it should make my N7 usable again, and will be much cheaper than replacing parts.
If you're interested why I'm making this request read on... My screen cracked and won't respond to touch at the bottom inch. I'm hoping if I can raise the navigation bar it will allow me touch the buttons and also push my keyboard up as well, right now I can't hit the spacebar without rotating my device.. and playing games presents further complications :'( Thanks for reading and I hope someone can help me out!
