iPhone WA3/WAD QVGA Theme by Torx-Tevelopment - Windows Mobile Themes

sorry about not posting this here at XDA, i still wuv yous guys!! im a frequent at ppcgeeks. Without further ado. Thanks to Bob55 for the transparent icon tip, and Buzzard for the motivation. Without further ado..
NOTE TO ALL USERS
This theme like many others may require some tweaking and tinkering because not all devices and os installs are the same. Wisbar theming is not for the noob at heart, so if youre looking for a quick setup try itask or grumps iphone. These theme require basic knowledge of using wisbar products. Thanks.
Reminder to those having button pressing/execution of apps
When everythings been tweaked and adjusted to your needs, tap/hold lock all items on the page. Tap/hold lock all items on the dock. Exit out of Author mode
Download more icons specific to this theme here, http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=13018
**v0.4 Update "Transparent"**
**v0.4 Update Notes**
- iPhone .tsk updated
- All icons are now transparent .tga
- Added light WA3 theme bundled with the Classic Dark
- Working Clock defaulted in home screen
- Backgrounds now supported with transparent icon sets
- Dock now supported in leopard theme (look out for future dock packages by Torx-Tevelopment)
-----------------------------------
**v0.3 Update Telco Icons added and misc adjustments**
**v0.3 Update Notes**
- Several icons were updated in height, size, and color, telco icons added to "iPhone" folder so delete the original and replace with 0.3. Go into settings/wisbar theme and/or delete the old 0.1 or 0.2, and install and find 0.3
- Icons are custom2(tmobile), custom3(at&t), custom4(sprint). Goto Wisbar Settings/Taskbar and choose your carrier in the "Button Name", Make item visible, and Choose Align LEFT.
- Blue Batt charge icon still exists, it was just fully charged in picture taking.
- Also a new WA3 version has just been released for Nov 13, v3.1.0.3, so make sure you update for the heck of it!
- Enjoy!
-----------------------------------
**v0.2 Update, Landscape added!**
**v0.2 Update Notes**
- Place the "iPhone_Landscape" folder in the "windows/themes/desktop" folder
A new landscape carbon springboard and landscape black background were added to the package of graphics in the Portrait folder. The landscape theme calls on the graphics in the portrait folder.
- For best results, change the phatphinger layout display to "Phat(240x320)+145.wpl". Since adding the landscape it doesnt fit quite right, this layout size looks good in both portrait and fits well in landscape.
-----------------------------------
Please read the readme.txt
Theres very important installation instructions regarding the order of installing the apps, wa3, and wad.
Feel free to throw out a few icon requests if you need some custom icons made for your apps. Ive slimmed it all down to the bare essentials to be space saving and fast loading. Buttons are "tactile" for that feedback feeling, wa3 buttons are tactile as well, and nice loading animation created too. All icons are included as well.
Enjoy and feel free to post bugs or general feedback.

mate is there any way you can make a software instead of using WA3/WAD? WA3/WAD freeze my phone alot, dunt no y!!!
btw new icons

Awsome
Hi Torx,
This by far the best creation for iphone theme for WAD/WA3. This is far more stable than 0.3. and i am a fan of yours. I am on Wizard and this theme is running for last one week. Ofcourse its not full proof. after a day or day & half you need to re-boot the PPC as the memory is too low (this is more so a windows problem), sometime the system becomes very slow but regains the original form after 5-10 min without any apparant reasons, during this time CPU is 57-65% used. The battery drain is more with WAD/WA3 running. This may be taken care of by them.
One issue i want your help is how to back-up the current configiration and file so that if have to reset or update with new ROM then my theme can be restored with minimal efforts and tweaking.

Just wanted to say I have settled on this for my Hermes theme. It is a fantastic piece of software. I am still setting up my phone. Any M$Office icons to go with this?

Some little Problems
Hi there
Great theme, looking really good... BUT ^^
- My Phone SMS Email counter is blocked to 0, and I don't understand I too fix this
- I read on your post (maybe I missunderstood) that the clock in the home screen was suppose to display the real time (I mean on the icon)? If that is the case, then it's not working for me...
Can anybody help me?
PS: HTC TyTN II, WM6, and outlook is my e-mail client
cheers and congrats again ^^

You can set that up yourself. Add the empty clock icon from one of the themes, add custom text %T12% or %T24% (your choice) and you will have a working clock...

I notice the volume, battery and telco icons are not transparent when I try to change the background color. Can you make them transparent?
PS: this is e best iphone skin i have been searching for so long! thx!

EDIT: Figured it out, needed a reinstall of WAD

Is there a VGA iPhone theme anywhere?
I have looked everywhere...i think... but no success....
PLEASE!!!....tell me I did not look anywhere....

You can try Winterface by VITO software:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QNQURO9C
It's an iPhone-like interface that works with VGA resolutions.

Carrier Icon
If anybody wants it, I've got a custom Verizon icon for the taskbar in Torx's WAD/WA3 theme. I've also extracted some other icons if needed.
Nate

Creating iPhone icons
I was hoping that someone could give me some guidance please on using the .psd templates for creating my own icons for Torx iPhone skin?
As an example of what I have done: I am using Gimp but am somewhat a novice user. I have loaded the icon for eWallet as one layer and overlaid the blank_template.psd file on top. This looks nearly correct and I get the lovely shading of the template over the top of the original icon but does not quite mask out the Torx button shape as the template would suggest. Instead each corner still has some grey pixels.
I save the image as a .png file then convert it to a .tga with AlphaConv.exe.
Loading the .tga file into WAD works fine but I still see the grey pixels in the corners so it is not a "clean" icon image. So near yet so far...
Does anyone have ideas of what else I need to do?

See post #2 and #3 for Ultimate WM7 v2
Post #2 - QVGA(240x320), WQVGA(240x400), and Square Screens
Post #3 - VGA(480x640) and WVGA(480x800)

There are four versions available for download below. They include:
1) WM7 Standard Analog - Analog clock on the Now screen, single Contact page and no MRU page.
2) WM7 Standard Digital - Same as above except has a digital clock on the Now screen.
3) WM7 Professional Analog - Analog clock on the Now screen cycles with a Calendar page, 3 Contacts pages, and MRU page that cycles with the Launcher page.
4) WM7 Professional Digital - I think you get the idea.
For those that may be new to SPB Mobile Shell, please follow these instructions after installing SPB Mobile Shell:
1) Download and unzip the layout below of your choice.
2) Install the font file in the "Fonts" folder to your device in Windows\Fonts
3) Install all files in the "SPB Mobile Shell" to your device in Program Files\SPB Mobile Shell
4) Soft reset your device and enjoy your new phone!
Note: When using with MS v2.1.1 or higher, the status icon hot spots are slightly up and to the right of the icon. I have not found a fix for this yet with these icons.
This version is for QVGA(240x320) screens and is optimized for portrait mode but also supports landscape mode. See posts #2 and #3 for v2 with other screen resolutions.

Ultimate WM7 v2 for QVGA(240x320), WQVGA(240x400), 240x240 and 320x320 Square Screens.
The screenshot below shows darker than it looks on my screen. The backlighting really brings it out.
Screen resolutions other than QVGA I am not able to fully test because I only have a QVGA phone so please report any bugs and I will try to fix them.
I have worked really hard on this. I hope you enjoy.

These skins are memory hogs due to the amount of graphics involved. I don't have a phone to try them out on so try them out and use them if you can. If they cause problems, look for future skins that won't be so memory hungry.

I have finally completed the first version of my Ultimate WM7 theme for SPB Mobile Shell.
This version is for QVGA 240x320 screens and is optimized for portrait mode but also supports landscape mode.
I owe many thanks to Heefy for providing me with the initial graphic design. Great work Heefy!
I would also like to thank greatbal and Luiggi whose previous layouts have provided me with a great template to learn how to create themes and to get this theme up and running.
Please feel free to do whatever you want with this theme and if you can improve on some of the graphics, such as the status and weather icons, please share your work.
I hope you enjoy using it as much as I have enjoyed making it.

Hi
Thanks . very nice
what about VGA !!!!
I was standing for ur works on VGA stations .
guys can you try not to quote everything including the screenshots? it eats a lot of huge space and pages of the thread
or at least edit the quoted message by deleting some parts of it, especially the screenshots.

mtkates, you beat the bullet and managed to have a complete theme!!!
I beleived you must be burning midnight oil to have it completed.
It looks so beautiful and neat in my Tytn II and I have a tsk with same background to complement it. Very professionally done and you did it single- handedly!!!
Well done and thank you and bravo to you for sharing.
nice theme! Thanks!
Font size of operator name in Today is little bit bigger than in Launcher and Contacts. Could be adjusted?
first opinions of the theme...
The contacts pages are labeled backward, if you sweep right to left, like turning pages in a book, they come out as page 1, 3, 2, and back to 1
I understand the appearance of the "title bar", but if the header and title bar were a bit thinner, you could get the 4th row of icons back on the launcher and dialer.
The icon on the the launcher panel for PROGRAMS... I like the icon itself, but I think something similar to the start button graphic would be more appropriate
I love the blueness... Diamond was getting mundane, but it just seems that things are there just for the sake of being there.
Of course, I am a much better critic than artist. This looks awesome and with a few refinements, I'm sure this will be up with the greats both functionally and visually
mtkates...this is great! I am using in landscape and I really like how the nav bar is at the bottom!
Questions/Comments:
Any chance to spread the nav bar in landscape across the screen (pic below)?
I really liked how greatbal made the clock go to a calendar page instead of clock details in his layouts with MRU
Also agree with post before...would be nice to have a thinner nav bar on top (second pic). It also looks like the operator font is smaller in the second pic
these of course are just observations...take them or leave them, no matter what happens...this is the theme I am using right now...just great!
Any chance of a 240 x 240 version for the 700wx?
Great theme, only one question
How or where can I change "Launcher" or "Contacts" to my own language?
Thanks
Thanks for the Feedback
Thank you all for the feedback and keep it coming.
I don't have answers or fixes yet for all comments but I am saving notes on all feedback and will be making changes, bug fixes, etc. as time and talent allows. Be assured I am listening.
I would also like feedback on performance on your phone. The complex graphics of this theme and my limited knowledge with skinning may have resulted in a memory hog skin. I had some lockup problems in early versions. I hope that's not the case. It works smooth on my phone, but not all phones are alike.
And look for the possibility of different colored versions, hopefully including black.
I am also hoping to do a VGA version in the future as time allows but may have a problem with the graphics.
I really need someone who cam help clean up some of the graphics and also double the size of all for a VGA version that is not so pixilated.
As far as square screen support, the is a huge modification and will probably require the talents of a skinner who has experience with square screen phones.
This is a lot of work, even for the smallest of changes, so please be patient. My goal is to really make it The Ultimate WM7 theme, but quality takes time.
Thanks again for your interest and feedback.

Here is a quote from gagaza from another thread:
-Quote-
I find that the easiest way to change the text for labels is just to edit the SpbMobileShell.txt that is in your SPB folder.
Like this:
Contacts 1|Personal
Contacts 2|Friends
Contacts 3|Work
Launcher|Programs
MRU Programs|MRU
Claret|Maroon
It's just the original name followed by the name you want to change it to.
People please try it. You'll be surprised at how easy it is. No messing with .xmls.
You can actually just copy and paste all or parts of my example into that text file, then reset. You'll be happy with the results. Simple yet effective.
-End Quote-
You can use this to change Contacts 2 to Contacts 3 and vice versa.
This can also be used to change language.
Note: At this time, the taskbar text cannot be changed like this, I hope to fix that soon.
Thanks for the tip gagaza.
great theme. i think the graphicss can be alittle sharper but its still a great theme.
thanks mtkates
So beautifull...thank you very much. All together in the now screen...that's what I was hoping for. Thanks a lot.
Is it possible to have the icons in the launcher with name labels under them? Sounds silly, but would help me a lot.
Thanks again!!

I have plans to try some different colors including black. Attached is a quick and dirty example of what it might look like. Of course I plan on putting more detail into an actual release, such as maintaining color in the launcher icons and adjusting the color of the calendar grid. This is just an example, not a final release.
VGA version will be really appreciated..graphics is not a problem as long as I can use WM7 skin

"todaylife"-theme collection by bluemetalaxe

----------------------------------------
whats new ?:
- this is a nearly original wheee theme, all credits for Idea and look go to Ufufu and i use again the sticker icons, other grafics and background made by me. This theme has new topbar graphics and a new missed calls-icon that will come to snowwhite and free! theme with next update (This 3 sticker-iconsthemes use exactly the same xmls only the backgrounds are different)
----------------------------------------
I recommend to do this SETTINGS for your ppc:
(how to: open the xml or txt files with with "totalcommander", or on your PC with "windows Editor", make the following changes, choose "save" (NOT "save as.."), put xmls or txt files back in the theme folder of you PPC and restart todaylife.)
Edit the config.xml :
1. go down to "emaildefaultparam" and there you find:"freenet.de". Replace this with the name of your account.
2. go down to CalendarAction and set it to 1 (=default windows mobile Calendar) otherwise my settings open thumbcal !
3. go down to time format and change it to 12 or 24
4. go to SMS Action and set it to 0 if you don want to open pocketcm
5. you can do more changes (SMS Alarm settings/Lock-settings), they are explained in the xml !
6. change language in the appointments: open the portrait.xml and the landscape.xml . You will find this text:
<Today>Heute</Today>
<Tomorrow>Morgen</Tomorrow>
<AllDay>.....</AllDay>
<MultiDay>.....</MultiDay>
change this four words in this lines to any language
7. change the date format in both portrait.xml and landscape.xml: <Format>dddd, d. MMMM yyyy</Format>
8. add the name and path of you applications for the launcher in the "Applications.txt". Can be ".exe" or ".lnk" and works also with parameters.
9. To open with the launcher directly your favorite webside with you favorite browser:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2538839#post2538839
----------------------------------------------
FAQ:
1. what is this ?
- this are my qvga themes (also Landscape support) for the FAST FULLSCREEN Software/GUI "todayLife" made by DAZZLINGDAZ. Today life is a brilliant new Software like rltoday or batterystatus, but will get much more functions and is much easier to costumize: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407900
2. how to install and what additional software do i need ?
- you need nothing more. i works with wm 6.0 and wm 6.1 with NetFramework 2.0 or 3.5. And no need to install !!! unzip the folder put it on your phone and start the todaylife.exe. If you dont like it delete just the folder thats it.
3. What is working till now ? :
- not everything, test it, but i update this skin everytime that there are some new functions for you.
4. I´m having bugs/Problems/Ideas ?
- if you have a bug/Problem/Idea or want to modify my theme and dont know how: post it here, if its not running or you have a request to the programmer post it in the above thread.
5. Can you make this theme to VGA ?
- no sorry i cant, i don´t have the time and biggest Problem: i dont have a vga device for testing the graphics here. But todaylife works well with VGA.
6. I dont come out of some windows ?
- slide to the left side

Congratulations on your first skin for the todaylife engine! Very well done!!
thank you.
Let me say some addional words:
- credits for some of the used graphics (especially Backgrounds) go to steve jobs
- i use some freeware icons from RuizDesign and use their psd-file for creating own Icons. thank you
- and yes it looks like a iphone skin, and this should be so.
Hi Blue,
Congrats on the new thread. Unfortunately, it mean that I'll have to follow 2 threads instead of Daz's only. Oh well.....
Excellent work!
A pity you don't have a VGA device.
Hope somebody with free time on their hands can VGA-ize it.

nice work blue!
Congratulations, good work. Could you make a theme that will have more "HTC looks"? Something like HTC Home? Thanks again for this great theme.
this is actually a very nice theme i must say!
to this day ive never heard of "TodayLife", but i can guarantee u this..im gonna give it a try..
the theme looks good, not too heavy to dark or too bright..actually looks similar to a MS2.1 theme ive seen before lol
ill give it a run, and definitely will provide some feedback!
kudos to all who created the app and the skinners/artists!
I'm glad you keep on improving your skin. I've included the previous version in one of my custom rom. And I was waiting for a new one since BS can manage plugins.
Thank You!
Guys - to change a skin pack to a different resolution takes time!!! the icons may be too small for starters - BUT - you can change most of it yourself - simply by editing the portrait.xml and landscape.xml and making all the X and Y coordinates double - S(ize) attributes for things like the calendar can be doubled too
Example (this is from the xml and is for the bit that displays the current date)
<Date>
<P>1</P>
<X>90</X>
<Y>45</Y>
<Align>CENTRE</Align>
<R>200</R>
<G>0</G>
<B>200</B>
<S>10</S>
<Format>dddd d MMMM, yyyy</Format>
</Date>
To go VGA for this :
<Date>
<P>1</P>
<X>180</X>
<Y>90</Y>
<Align>CENTRE</Align>
<R>200</R>
<G>0</G>
<B>200</B>
<S>20</S>
<Format>dddd d MMMM, yyyy</Format>
</Date>
This doubles the xpos , ypos - and doubles the size of the font - it really is that simple!
thanks you very much , great work
one question
this is a great theme just a couple of questions
first off how do you unlock it,
second theres nothing on the music or programs tab how do i change this?
thanks
I am still developing the program - so it is correct that some tabs are empty - this is by design and allows for expansion as I develop.
Please read the development thread for more info.
The unlock sequence is 4 seperate guestures : ^, >, \/, <
Can someone post more screenshots. I can't see the original for some reason.
Also, is there a collection of themes for this new program yet?
Thanks!
By the way - apart form the skinners...it's just me developing LOL - so if you request something and it doesn't get done straight away - it's cause there isn't a large team of monkeys bashing keyboards....just me...and I, unfortunately, have to sleep sometimes (although very rarely)

i attach a preview of the vga version i have to make working something more..
buttons are ok now i must work beside text and fonts dimension maybe something cold work
When i click the speaker icon my screen darkens, but i dont get a volume control. I have to reset the phone to get out of it. Anyone else have this problem?
okay, thank you all:
but again some words:
- creating or ripping and fitting these graphics needs about 40 hours. so i will not and dont want to make a quick htc skin.
- everyone is welcome to create own themes.
- this is a thread is just for this theme/skin. if you want more functions, want to know how it works or have a technical problem or want a different Design please go to the thread of Dazzlingdazz, he is the brilliant programmer of the software.
- to unlock slide to top, then to right, then to bottom then to left.

[SKIN][OFFLINE] tPRO2 for S2U2 | v2.21

Dear friends and xda-devs,
I’m sad to inform you that http://tpro.station59.com has to be shut down. Since announcing version 2 of my tPRO skin series and launching the website last summer, and after 60,000+ downloads since then alone, this project received nearly no support (thank you Michael and John for your donations). Thus, I can no longer maintain domain, hosting and download bandwidth for this website.
I still plan expanding the skin series with support for new applications and introduce new ui designs, and of course share it with this great community. However, due to my heavy workload at another project of mine I am forced to put this one on hold till the end of the summer.
Thank you all,
dEM

What do you mean by messaging notification? There are already icons for text messages (sms), multimedia messages (mms) and e-mails (icons 2, 3 and 4 on my screenshot). Still can't get this envelope in a baloon thing...
I'll work on messenger and flexmail icons then. And I think I'll redesign the mms one. This is the first one I came up with but don't think it's that indicative.
Hi
I have some issues with this theme.....Please don't take it personally i am telling what i experienced.
1.Numbers are not aligned on white box on wallpaper.
2.Its will not work exactly as the screen shot.

I have copied and replaced the "gfx" file in S2U2 Folder under program mes. is this procedure is correct....

Hey there,
Since you obviously see the wallpaper with the flip clock it seems you have copied it right.
1. I guess your time format is set to H:mm without the leading zero - 8:22 instead of 08:22. Use your favorite registry editor and change the key HKCU\Software\A_C\S2U2\TimeFormat key to HH':'mm. This should make sure the time is always four digits and therefore always aligned to the wallpaper. I'll make sure to add a .reg file with all the necessary changes soon.
2. What other differences do you find from the screenshot? If you can provide a screenshot of your device it'll be great.
3. This is my mistake. I never use fullscreen battery hence never worked on that. Note taken.
Nice work. Any chance a clock font that supports the 5:00PM format?
if i just want the notifier icons wich files do i gota copy?

I can extend the flip clock to fit the am/pm but still you have to set time with leading zero to have the same number of digits all the time eg. 05:00PM.

Holy S!it,nice skin,gonna install it asap,thx for the hard work
looking sweet.
Sorry guys,
Current hardcoded layout of S2U2 doesn't allow me to make the flip clock work with fullscreen battery. Hope not a lot of you use it anyway...
Start working on some left over notification icons and am/pm flip clock.
I've changed the MMS icon (icon #4) to baloon with a paper clip similar to how it's shown in TF3D.
Then I created one for Flexmail (icon #6) and used one from Manila for Messenger (icon #7).
Hope you like them. If you do download the attached file and unzip to gfx folder, overwriting the old notice.png.
Still can't figure out what's the second icon for though..
demonizator said:
It may sound stupid but did not find what are these icons for:
I guess the last one is for Windows Live Messenger notifications but I don's use it to test the icon. And have no idea what are the first two for.
If somebody can help me with this I will replace them with TouchFLO-alike icons.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The 2nd icon is for Pocket Informant, not sure about the 1st one. It looks like an email icon, but I'm sure it cant be that easy.
I played around with the flip clock trying to make it work with am/pm time and tried to get it as close as possible to TF3D (screen #1) but it's not that simple. There's no way to get the am/pm symbols closer to the digits. Extending the flip itself is pretty ugly for me (screen #2) so I came up with something like this (screen #3).
If you like it I can export wallpaper fitting the time this way. If you have any other ideas you're more than welcome.
Can I just have this in 12hour format without the AM/PM. Cause really. I don't need to know if it's night or day lol. I can notice that by just looking around.
Dude this is great work, I'm gonna try this out soon, first I need to update my S2U2 because I noticed that its not quite the newest version, another question also does this extra nice looking stuff take any kind of battery toll?
Thanks man, this looks flippin great.

[THEME] [Status Upd 7/28/10] [QVGA Lnd] [Std 6.1|6.5] SenseHero for Smartphone Theme

Well, I've had a lot of free time on my hands lately and this is the result. I'll probably be ditching my Blackjack II in about a month when I'm eligible for an upgrade, but I had to make one last theme for it.
As far as I'm aware, there are no other sliding panel themes like this for Windows Mobile Standard, and yes, the weather works! I had to write my own application for the weather (edit: and for the clock... I tried just using the HTC font for the clock but it didn't look that great). Since it's a sliding panel theme, there are of course pretty sliding animations when navigating around the home screen.
Requirements
Windows Mobile Standard 6.1 or 6.5
QVGA Landscape device
Update (6/5/2010)
Updated some graphics
Wrote an application to provide a better looking clock that has animation!
Update (6/6/2010)
Current temperature now displayed
Update (6/7/2010)
Initial release! Download and installation instructions below...
Update (6/7/2010)
Changed vertical alignment of temperature
Fixed bug where wallpaper was not automatically changed upon install on WM 6.1
To update, simply install the latest version of SenseHero_Theme_6X.CAB. This is the only file that changed. No need to remove the old version before installing.
Status Update (6/9/2010)
I've discovered several bugs and will be looking into fixing them over the weekend. Here are the bugs I will be working on...
The clock and weather applications both have minor memory leaks that can lead to a crash after they've been running for a while.
Notifications sometimes disappear when the clock is updated.
The clock panel steals focus from the notifications and program links panels when it's updated.
The clock sometimes takes longer than I'de like to update when resuming from the screen off state.
The weather application can't be installed to storage card.
Status Update (7/28/2010)
Alright guys, here's the current status. I put a lot of work into this theme after the last release, but I could never figure out how to fix a few of the major problems without totally changing how everything is done.
The problem is that there is no good way to update the homescreen. The way the Weather and Clock applications currently do it is by telling Windows Mobile to refresh the entire homescreen. This has several adverse side affects. First of all, updating the entire homescreen is slow, so there is a noticeable pause when returning to the homescreen from any application. Second, there is a bug in Windows Mobile that causes unread email and text message notifications to disappear when the entire homescreen is refreshed. I almost got around the problem by using the registry to tell Windows Mobile to update only specific items, but I ran into some limitations here with the number of custom images I could update per plugin panel.
It seems like the best way to make this theme work flawlessly would be to make Clock and Weather homescreen plugins instead of them being separate applications. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any documentation from Microsoft on how to write homescreen plugins. People have done it so I know it's possible, but I assume they had to go by trial and error and it was probably very hard. I just don't have time to do that.
I think the best thing to do now is to release the source code as Visual Studio projects and hope that some talented developer with a lot of free time on his hands can figure something out. I'm packaging everything up and it should be available within a day or two.
Update: The Visual Studio 2005 projects are available below in the SenseHero_Source.zip file. Good luck!

Installation Instructions
If you have customized bronzeres.dll and CHome_320x240.cpr files that you want to keep, make sure they're backed up
Unzip SenseHero_For_Smartphone.zip and copy the files to your device or storage card
Install SenseHero_Clock.CAB and SenseHero_Weather.CAB
Install the SenseHero_Theme_6X.CAB that corresponds to the version of Windows Mobile you're running (6.1 or 6.5)
After installing SenseHero_Theme_6X.CAB, you will be asked to reboot
Both SenseHero Clock and SenseHero Weather will launch automatically at startup. You will be presented with the following screen...
Type in your city and state delimited by a comma or your zip code. If you want weather information to be retrieved immediately rather than waiting for the set interval to trigger an update, select Update Now and wait a few seconds for the Last Update timestamp to display. Select Hide or press the Home key on your keyboard to minimize the application.
The wallpaper may not have taken effect for some users (especially 6.1 users). In this case, simply set your wallpaper to something else and then back to a SenseHero Wallpaper.
Three wallpapers are included with the theme...
Optionally, apply the glossy black color scheme attached separately by running its .exe file on your device (*Note: I didn't create this color scheme)
Customization
Due to the nature of this theme, custom wallpapers and icons are required. Photoshop and Paint.NET templates are available for this reason.
Images and icons used by this theme are stored in \My Documents\SenseHero\
Program links can be changed by creating new icon images and editing the CLinksSenseHero plugin in CHome Configurator.
This is great news!!
I´ll be pending on your launching
Thanks
Update information in first post.
how long?!!?!!
when will this be out? im lookin forward to this ****. for real. nice work!
Working on it right now. May have a beta version out later tonight!

wow, cool !
i too am waiting for this.

Danke

It works the same way as the regular sliding panel theme. You slide up and down to select a panel (clock, notifications, or program links) and then you can slide left and right between pages on the notifications panel and to select a program from the program links panel.
Yes, you can click on items in the panels just like in any other theme.
Released! Post any bugs or problems you encounter and I'll try to get them worked out. It's a pretty complicated theme so I would be surprised if everything goes smoothly for everyone.

waiting for the potrait view...thanks...good work..
Hi,
I try this nice theme. It works correctly except the SenseHero Wether application. After running it, I get this error message:
"SenseHero Weather.exe DirectoryNotFoundException" and this list:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Battery
How is this theme on battery life? I know that on other renditions of the Hero clock, battery life is very minimal. Is this theme different than the others?

Did you install it to storage card? At this point, the weather application does not support installation to storage card.

Battery life shouldn't be affected. I kept this concern in mind while writing the clock application. If you navigate away from the homescreen or the backlight turns off, the application stops updating the clock. When you return to the homescreen or the backlight turns back on, the clock updates and resumes. So essentially, it only updates while it's visible, and thus should use very little battery life.
I installed as instructed, but SenseHero dekstop Weather.exe not appear outside of any known toi.ban help me thanks

[ICONS] <") Roosticity Icons to suit .sencity theme [updated Nov14]

Roosticity icon set 20.10.2010
Almost 300 sharp vector icons to suit .sencity theme
Have you seen the superb new .sencity theme by _LeCiel_? It's clean, simple and STUNNING!
But some bits are not quite finished yet and like many of you who have tried it and are hooked on the look, I am impatient and want more- and want it NOW! My old program icons looked like a dogs breakfast sitting next to the slick .sencity design and it was already driving me nuts - and LeCiel had only released the theme the week before!
So I got all fired up and put this icon pack together and now my phone looks almost all .sencity. I now walk taller, my teeth are much whiter and now a single look from me makes the ladies go weak at the knees....
So this is the Roosticity Icon set – I hope you enjoy them!
LATEST UPDATE:
14th November, 2010
Major update- have completed all "Standard ROM" icons including settings folder. Covers all Energy(.sencity) HD2 Leo and Blackstone ROM icons- please let me know if I've missed any. Remember, this will also cover other (non Energy) .sencity ROMS and other Energy ROMS (Rhodium etc) except for the occasional icon which can be changed manually with JWMD etc. (I've focussed on Energy ROM simply because that's what I use).
Also, have now separated the zipped packs into "Standard ROM" and "Extra App" packs assuming the standard ROM packs won't require as much updating from now on. Don't forget you can use icons contained in the "Standard ROM" pack for any of your custom apps also, so have a look in both packs for what you need.
​
THANKS of course to _LeCiel_ for a fantastic theme- the .sencity thread is here.
THANKS TO CONTRIBUTORS:
They drive us pretty hard at the Roosticity Icon Sweatshop, so if you know anyone that can do an honest days work for an honest days pay (well actually it's chicken feed) then I'd be glad to hear from you. Contributions welcome.
LYCOX thanyou for additional icons - find these extra icons here at post 16 of this thread. Lycox icons up to last update are included within the Roosticity pack.
COLOSSUS_R thankyou for additional icons- find these extra icons here at post 78 of this thread. Colossus icons will be added to the Roosticity pack with the next major update.

ROM CHEFS:
You're welcome to use these icons but please add a post here so we can take a peek at your work, and if you are using the .sencity theme then why not add a link back to here so your users can more easily find icons for the additional programs they load
ALSO THANKS TO:
Thanks to the following for vector source files: Reflection Icon Set by Webdesigner Depot, FREEGINE Vector Icon Set and the Liquidicity icon set by Go Squared.
UPDATES HISTORY:
11th November, 2010
Minor update: Some corrections and additions. Standard ROM pack almost complete- some settings folder icons to come in next major update.
3rd November, 2010
Updated zipped folder to include all the "Standard ROM" icons included in the cab plus a stack of icons for additional programs. Includes extra icons Lycox has contributed up to this date. Now almost 200 icons in total.
2nd November, 2010 (Melbourne Cup Day)
Completed icons for apps that are selectable through Cookies Home Tabs and put in to a CAB. This CAB also covers all start menu icons apart from icons in settings folder.
HOW TO LOAD ICON SET:
A) CAB
1. Copy cab file to your SD Card or phone and run it. The cab will replace the standard start menu icons that come with most ROMs.
2. You will need to clear the HTC Sense icon cache to update the icon links in Sense, and then soft reset. (Use either JWMD as below point B.3, or there's a small utility to do this called SICC (Sense Icon Cache Clearer), or manually by deleting all .png files in ProgLauncher folder (Application Data>HTC>ProgLauncher).
3. There may be a few left over that need to be changed manually with JWMD due to ROM and icon naming differences. Icons for extra applications that you have loaded will not be replaced automatically, so match an icon from the zipped file to your application and change manually with JWMD.
4. If you want to change back to your original set-up, simply un-install Roosticity from your Remove Programs menu (this won't remove icons changed with JWMD- you will need to remove those ones with JWMD)
B) MANUALLY or with JWMD Icon Changer
You can manually rename and copy and paste icons into the correct locations, but I used JWMD Icon Changer to do mine initially, so below describes that method.
1. Download the ZIP from the link below and copy the extracted folder somewhere on your SD card.
2. Use JWMD Icon Changer to replace the existing icons (read instructions from that thread on how to do it- it’s simple)
3. Clear HTC Sense Icon Cache. (JWMD has a feature to clear the HTC Sense icon cache under Menu> Tools> HTC Sense Tools> Clear Icon Cache.)
4. Select yes to Soft Reset.
5. DONE!
BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD: STRICTLY NO DOWNLOAD MIRRORS- provide a link to this thread on XDA instead . Plus- use your THANKS button if you get some use out of these!
Very nice work.
please try to provide us more icons for other programs

Re new icons yes there will be more, but I don't get chunks of free time regularly so can't promise it will be regular and fast! However, I'll add a request list to the first post which will hopefully make it easier for others out there to help add to and improve this pack.
Very nice iconset. I really like that you even payed attention to the white inner-border and tried to make the icons as close to the CHT icons from .sencity as possible.
Congrats!
So I have to change each one manually and cant just import it? I dont get how to import the set because you dont have a theme file or something
Hopefully there will be a cab or even better, fully integrated into sencity by default.

use CSMI and SICC to change icons, manually.
This gives you the possibility to mix and match icons, since atm not all icons of (for example) EnergyRoms are present.

Thanks it's great to know you like it- I'm chuffed! And yes it's those little details that make the .sencity design look great. (It's much easier to copy a good design style than to create it though)

I'd have no problems with that of course, but in any case if not then at least this set of icons will be there to add some extra options and to cover extra apps etc.
Just for information: I'm currently working on some additional icons. Hope to release them soon.
P.S.: Nice work Rooster

hey, can anybody share the psd file and/or write a quick tutorial how to create icons for the .sensity theme? i think that would be best as some gusys (me for example) use apps, that maybo nobody else use (as duden, pons, pschrembel, langenscheidt, oxford).
plus we would have a very huge collection.
