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:

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 use WMP once in awhile, and i hated the default blue skin
i couldn't find any WVGA skins out there (or here on the board)
so i modified a very nice skin by BlockbusterF (which was re-colored by holdemdogg).
i tweaked the graphics to fit WVGA, and also converted all images to PNG as it's smaller and hopefully helps a tiny bit with performance.
installation instructions for ZIP:
1. extract the folder found inside the zip file to \Program Files\Windows Media Player
2. open WMP and go to Menu > Options > Skins
3. select the skin
NOTE: this skin has both landscape and portrait orientations, but each has to be set separately in WMP, so rotate the screen and repeat the steps
installation instructions for CAB:
If someone doesn't yet know how to do this, please read the forums for a bit longer.
The CAB should set the skin as default , no need going into options
Skin History:
26-Jan-09
Initial release
27-Jan-09
Fixed Landscape Idle Mode (thank you CutePinkSocks).
Added shuffle and repeat button graphics.
Added a CAB installer
07-Apr-09
Album Art and Video in Portrait are now larger (thank you rickgillyon)
all credit goes out to the original author BlockbusterF!
and thanks to holdemdogg for the re-color.
i figured someone else may want this, so it's up here
Enjoy
just installed on my HD and it works fantastically without any issues. great looking skin, fits the styling much better than the horrible blue.

One small issue if look at the skin in landscape there appears to be a black shadow across the middle three buttons - it is the same on the screen shot you posted above...

Thanks for catching that, it disappears when playback is started so I never noticed the error
I corrected the graphics glitch and uploaded an updated ZIP
wow, this works great!!^^ thank you, cause I'm currently using the wmp quite a lot, really, I'm very surprized, but I like it more than all the other players like core player, pocket player and all the other expensive stuff....
Nice! Works fine, I'm glad you made a portrait, but also a landscape version.
In combination with Gyrator it's just what I needed.
looks nice, good job Sir !
Is possible to ranking songs with stars?
Any chance we can make the album art on this skin fill the available space?
Worked it out for myself...just open the SKN file for editing, and adjust the
[ AlbumArt ]
section to:
10,84,460,460
Editing the SKN file, I want to add a Text item for Album, but doesn't seem to be possible: Playlist produces nothing and I don't want to use Status - any ideas? TIA!

This is really very very good. Many thanks
Intro:
HTC's menu enhancement is very finger friendly but it also limits the number of items you can see at one time and you have to scroll down to get to the rest, which can be annoying at times.
This modification will make the items smaller so more items can fit (see screenshots).
Thanks to cybermaus for his original work on this here.
Requirements: WVGA device and you must already have large HTCMenus enhancement.
For VGA: mkucuksari made cabs here and etoy has a thread here. Thanks to them both.
UPDATE 28/01/2010
I've updated Small Menus for the latest HTC Menus version. There are no huge changes, but it does include a faster animation ratio and new grey default highlight.
I've also added matching Small Menus for Manila (Sense) - see screenshot below.
UPDATE 08/07/2009
A new version of HTC's Menu Enhancement has shown up in cooked ROMs (specifically I noticed it in Dutty's WM6.5 R4). HTC made a few changes like removing the up/down arrows completely and putting a scrollbar instead. I've updated the modifications for the new version. I haven't made a Medium size for v1.1 because the new version is already that size by default.
You must install the correct modification for your version of HTC Menus.
How to tell which version of HTC Menus you have:
New version 1.1 has a scrollbar instead of up/down arrows and the highlight is a little different. Pretty easy to spot:
HTC Menus 1.0:
HTC Menus 1.1:
For HTC Menus 1.0
There are 3 different sizes: Medium, Small and Extra small.
See the screenshot below for size comparison. The original menu size is enough to display 7 items at once. With Medium that's up to 9, Small displays 11 and Extra small 13.
Choose the size that's most comfortable for your fingers. If you're not sure which one to install: I'd recommend Small, as its probably the best fit for most.
Download for HTC Menus 1.0:
Medium
Small
ExtraSmall
For HTC Menus 1.1
There are 2 different sizes: Small and Extra Small.
See the screenshot below for size comparison. The original menu size is enough to display 9 items at once. With Small that's up to 12 and Extra Small displays 14.
Download for HTC Menus 1.1:
Small

For HTC Menus 1.1.Updated
There are 2 different sizes: Small and Extra Small.
Download for HTC Menus 1.1.Updated:
Small

For Manila Menus
The size can be adjusted from registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\Menus.Height
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\Menus.FontSize
- Default small height is 60, and default small font is 22.

Is it possible to change green selection color to any other?

Yes. I can make a different colored skin. Just name the color (would be good if you can provide the exact color hex value).
Also, if anyone wants to make a custom skin for the menus the bitmaps are "HTCMenus.bmp" and "HTCMenus_mask.bmp" located in \Windows. I attached them below for convenience.
Thank you... I will be edit this pictures in Photoshop to make my favorite color.

Great!
I like it very much!tks
hey Co0kieMonster,
this is excellent, great work!
Question (request really), anyway you could make another one of these that's a median between the this one and the stock one (aka, slightly bigger than the one you made, but smaller than the original). I agree that stock is too big, but I'm 6'4" (2m) so I have big hands/fingers and yours is just a tad small for me. Totally understand if you can't or don't feel like.
Thanks!
Svegetto, see if this one is a better fit.
9 items are displayed at once so it's right between the original large menus (7 items) and the small menus (11 items).
Two more sizes are also possible: with 8 or 10 items, so I can tweak it a bit more in case this one's too small or large.

Hi Co0kieMonster,
i'm totally happy with this mod, makes my life alot easier .... but
my fingers could easily use an even smaller size ... would it be possible to have 13 items?
making it user-adjustable would of course rock too
Hello
I just got my new Blackstone (moved from Cruise) and tried to freshen up its looks a little bit. But when I try to change the wallpaper in the windows today screen (settings-today) the wallpaper (the size is ok) looks washed out and has like a bluish layer over it. Does anybody else have this problem or knows a solution for it?
Thanks
i would say transparency setting...
it seems to me your transparency setting is set to high and needs to be adjusted down....you can set the transpancency from 0% to 100%..if it is higher, you wallpaper will look ,off colour and seem to have a layer over picture ( sort of just as you descibed..)that is the transparency layer if i can call it such..
i had similar incident about month back ,with my wallpaper..and whilst browsing device, saw how to adjust setting ..adjusted it down and background picture.. perfect...!
only way to access setting( as far as i know ) is as follows ..................
..you have to go to....start.... programs...select ....pictures & videos file .....
.....select any photo or relevant one you prefer ,view picture ,while viewing picture then select from.. menu below ... choose "set as background...."
a page will open.. with heading..."SET as TODAY BACKGROUND... " note . ."transparency level " halfway down page ....set transparency with relevant up /down arrows. .select o.k., close application..
hope it solves your problem,
good luck
That did the trick Now I can enjoy all those nice wallpapers!
Thanks a lot for your help
UPDATE 1:
- i guess i did find the "move to right" bug where bubbles did not move correctly in some cases. so it should work fine now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
i plan to develop a flashlite puzzle-game panel for the X2 ;-)
but before starting a "bigger" project i did a "redesign" of bubble breaker to test handling and some issues with flash lite and (of course) compatiblity with my x1:
Bubble Advanced (Beta):
gameplay:
its the same as in bubble breaker. the basic strategy is to "cluster" one dominant color to get as many points as possible.
differences to bubble breaker:
- empty collumns will not "close" automatically.
- if you doubleclick on a single bubble you get special moves (move all bubbles to left or right).
- coming soon: more specials and difficultys
you are free to test it and report all issues
so lets go:
PC-VERSION (BubbleBeta.zip):
-------------------------------------------
Info:
this is the PC reference-version to compare speed and behavior.
of course this runs very smooth
Online Demo:
BubbleBeta
or:
Installation (PC):
download and extract BubbleBeta.zip
doubleclick the BubbleBeta.swf (or drag and drop into a browser if you have no flash standalone player installed)
THIS IS ONLY FOR BETATESTING. PLEASE DO NOT REDISTRIBUTE THIS SWF
Known Issues:
none (so far)
X1-GAME-VERSION (BubbleBeta_0.8.0_English (Game).cab):
-------------------------------------------
Info:
this is the "non-panel" version. it runs with the flash-lite standalone player.
the flash-lite standalone player is not the same as the Sony Ericsson ActiveX Deployment Flash Plug-in. you need to install it additionally.
Installation:
- download and install Flash Lite 3.1 Standalone Player on your X1.
- install BubbleBeta_0.8.0_English (Game).cab
you will find the game in you games folder
Known Issues:
- slow but playable
- "tap&hold" is a pain in the a**. but there is no way to disable the context menu in the standalone player.
X1-PANEL-VERSION (BubbleBeta_0.8.0_English (Panel).cab):
-------------------------------------------
Info:
this is the "panel" version. it runs with the se-flashlite-deployment plugin (also used by various other flash-panels).
Installation:
- download and install Sony Ericsson ActiveX Deployment Flash Plug-in on your X1 (if you havent already installed it).
- install BubbleBeta_0.8.0_English (Panel).cab
- add the panel to your panel-manager
Known Issues:
- slow but playable
- (r3a rom and "old" panel manager): fast doubleclick on the same bubble is somehow blocked. you have to wait like 1 second to click the same bubble again. tip: you can still fastclick another marked bubble (next to the first clicked) to avoid this. it seems to me this is a problem of the panel manager.
- (r3a rom and "old" panel manager): after activating the bubble-panel the "old" panel manager quits if you press the panel-button again (maybe this will work with the new panel manager).
BETA RESTRICTIONS:
--------------------------
- highscore will not be saved
- screen rotation (landscape mode) is not supported
- no sound
QESTIONS:
-------------
can someone please test it with the r3a rom and the "new" (inofficial) R3A panel manager ?
thanx and have fun,
- QuadWord
Update1:
- i guess i did find the "move to right" bug where bubbles did not move correctly in some cases. so it should work fine now.
- did some _minor_ speed improvements
.cabs in the first post are updated.
- QuadWord
panel doesn't work with new panel manager. tried softreset, still nothing, maybe because i run a stock rom
and for the game itself... well, its slow and the context menu is annoying but the graphics look really good and the extra features are making the game more interesting.
austrianX1user:
thanx fou your feedback!
sadly there is no way to disable the context menu :-(
i will however look into the panel issue.
just one question: normally you can double-click on bubbles to remove them. in the "old" panelmanager you have to wait like 1 second anfter the first click before clicking the second time. did you have the same issue with the "new" r33 panelmanager?
- QuadWord
Im using a custom rom which i believe also uses the new panel manager (Touch-IT 7.2) and the panel doesn't appear
to enable x2 - flash panels on the x1 you need:
- the activeX Deployment
- the .cab below
BUT: it turns out there is no "stable" way to run x2 panels on a X1. i can only provide the "best possible" way. if the panel is more complex it will bring down the panel-manager sooner or later.

Please help a colour blind man
HI
I love bubble bobble, and this is a fun new version. I'm looking for new stuff for my pre-ordered HTC HD2.
Please could you consider allowing a change to the colour set? I am, like a fair proportion of men, slightly colour blind in the red/green area. What that means is that there are two sets of balls that both look green, and two sets of balls that look purple. This makes the game unplayable for me.
The version of bb that I currently play has a black and white option which changes the colours to different patterns of clear, lines and hatches. That's OK, but it would be SO much cooler if I could pick my colours from a palette.
