using ultimate launch i can slide to different tabs. the home tab is blank and less cluttered, if i slide to the weather tab i get the htc home plugin so its not always there.
I'm still trying to figure out a way to get this as a simple install but it might be a step by step tutorial instead. there is A LOT of configuration involved so we will see. It should be available shortly though
it seems much better than HTC home!!!!!
wonderful

id sure hope so, it is a lot more involved and way more possibilities than htc home, i do like the weather in htc home though but the other tabs of it are not needed

How do you manage to remove the tab bar in the HTC home plug?
Even if i only have 1 icon/tab the bar is still there
looks great waiting for release with simple way

Whoa!!!!!!! U R The Man!!!! These Look Awesome. Waiting Eagerly
thanks guys, i appreciate the compliments!
Beautiful theme, really can't wait to see some step by steps on how to replicate your theme.
alright guys!
seriously.. last update
This is an add on to the last thread
(the last thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2453449#post2453449) didnt have space in first two posts)
here are improvements:
...changed rltoday (I felt the blue was too blue and the black was too black, so here is a medium!)
...added new weather icons for rltoday to match weatherpanel
.................also, used dcinobar.cab, it hides the softkeys better, so now rltoday goes all the way to the bottom of the screen!
new s2p skin to match ImageViewer skin
forgot to mention..NEW! Mortplayer skin (edited q_vista skin - takes a looong time to do all those little buttons).. plus alarm screen!
...added weatherpanel skin (edited an iphone theme I found (credit for the great iphone layout goes to buzzard808).. very nice layout)
...changed s2u2 skin to support fullscreen contact images
...added HTC TOUCH CUBE (original.. not slither) skin.. custom animation (flips up and down, the slide is similar to the PocketCM animation in v24+!)
here:
top row.... rltoday, s2u2vc, weatherpanel, s2u2
bottom row... mortplayer main screen, mortplayer car screen, mortplayer alarm screen, s2p
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I sized the preview a lil too small to see how it really looks.. but trust me.. its really nice.. especially if you like my wm7-inspired theme, youll want to give this a go!
here is the cube:
for some reason its all fuzzy in the preview above.. on the device it is VERY clear
..so you know..
app launcher apps are:
mortplayer..........Evernote (very neat note function)
Skyfire..........Windows Live (can map it to messenger or email etc)
Comm Manager (or settings of basically anything you want)..........Sprint (anything related to sprint.. I use it for either navigation or mobile email settings)
I dont know if this skin will be useful..but on the off chance that you guys use all the same apps as me, it looks great on the device!
htc touch cube instructions (make sure you use a program like Total Commander - NOT File Explorer):
...copy/move all images in the "htctoucher wm7-inspired HTC TOUCH CUBE skin" folder to your \windows folder on your device
...you may have to kill the following if you get the error "unable to overwrite files" or something like that, which you can use MemMaid for (just download the trial - it lasts 15 days so you can use it for this!)
.......kill: BioTouch.exe, QuickDial.exe, MediaHubMini.exe, APLauncher.exe
...to change the path of the apps the cube opens..
,,,go into REGISTRY
,,,go into HKLM
,,,go into Software
,,,go into HTC
,,,go into BioTouch
,,,go into APLauncher for the App Launcher page
.............go into any App folder and change the "path" string to wheverever the file is that you are trying to open with the corresponding button
.............App0 is the top left app
.............App1 is the middle left app
.............App2 is the bottom left app
.............App3 is the top right app
.............App4 is the middle right app
.............App5 is the bottom right app
,,,go into MediaHubMini for the Media Hub page (music, pics, video)
.............App1_1 is the top
.............App1_2 is the middle
.............App1_3 is the bottom
rltoday instructions are the same as last thread:
RUN "dcinobar.cab" to hide soft keys... and I am including the TSKs (updated with new background) in the rltoday zip
Again, to add more blue.. you can use UITweaker and my settings file for that that you can find in the other thread (in rltodayzip as well)
**rltoday INSTRUCTIONS**
!!ONLY DRAG THE WM7 FOLDER TO YOUR RLTODAY FOLDER ON YOUR DEVICE!!
to hide the bottom softkeys on your todayscreen, you will have to install the "PMC TodayShrink.cab" I included (takes up no resources)
BOTTOM ROW and APP LAUNCHER
The home button on the bottom left of the screen brings you to the first screen. The star can be mapped to shortcut to whatever application you want.
The person icon is pocketcm for me, you can link it to whatever you want, and the web is the next icon.
To set this up properly, go into options of rltoday (hold down on the today until options pops up) then go into the "Apps" tab.
....make sure your first FOUR applications correspond to:
..................................1.png (the star or music note, depending on which you choose to use)- **change "change to 1.png if want to use instead of music note.png" to 1.png if you want to use it**
..................................2.png (the person)
..................................3.png (the world with the magnifying glass)
..................................5.png (the lock)
you do not need to do anything with 4.png
The next 10 applications you choose are what will show up on the app launcher page (the left screen shot of rltoday in the preview).
==============================
RLTODAY WEATHER
**EDIT THESE FILES IN NOTEPAD**
To update weather, press on the weather icon or any of the degrees shown.
YOU MUST EDIT THE "rl_Vista_Weather.mscr" file in the rltoday-->wm7 folder to change the lines:
# your location (see http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/ on finding your location)
location=""
# desired units for temp, f or c
units="f"
AND YOU MUST EDIT THE skin-tab2.xml located in the rltoday-->wm7-->mscr folder to change the line:
<Text text="Tuscon, Arizona" x="22" y="173" alignment="left" color="RGB(220,220,220)"><Font size="12" weight="" font="Segoe UI" /> <OnClick File="\Program Files\rlToday\wm7\rl_vista_weather.mscr" />
</Text>
s2u2 instructions:
..copy files in gfx in zip to gfx in s2u2 folder on your device (overwrite originals)
s2p instructions:
this is an add-on to the s2p gfx skin you can find at my previous thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2453449#post2453449)
..there are TWO sttopbars included.. blue and black.. choose whichever one you want and name it to sttopbar.png
..if you dont like it, just use the one from the original thread
..copy files in s2p zip to gfx in s2u2 folder on your device (overwrite originals)
..this zip ONLY CONTAINS BUTTONS (no topbar) to match the ImageViewer buttons I created for the wm7-inspired theme
weatherpanel instructions:
good to know:
the little "i" icon brings up a menu that will allow you to switch between locations and go into settings
the yahoo symbol will update your weather!
...copy the folder "iweather - edited htctoucher for wm7-inspired" into your WeatherPanel-->THEMES folder on your device
...copy the folder "Stardock Animated" to your WeatherPanel-->Icons folder
...in settings set for THEME: the folder's name
...select "Segoe UI.wpl" as the layout
...icon set: Stardock Animated
btw you need Segoe UI (havent tried it without Segoe UI.. the layout might look a little weird) which you can find around.. not sure if I am supposed to be posting it, but I did post it on one of my PocketCM themes a while back I think
mortplayer instructions:
things you should know:
,,to move screens, press on the album art
,,to get to playlist, use the little arrow in the bottom left hand corner
...place the "qvista_wm7.mpz" in your Mortplayer folder on your device
...select it in settings as your theme
enjoy guys.. seriously the last update!
hope you like it as much as I do

Few Questions
Nice theme, I want. I have few questions:
1) why do you say "use total commandar NOT File Explorer)?
2) You say "...copy/move all images in the "brn" folder to your \windows folder on your device". However, I do not see a "brn" folder.
Do i copy ONLY the image files or should I copy all files "Images + .brn files"?
3) Where is the "PMC TodayShrink.cab" i do not see it. It's not in the "htctoucher wm7-inspired rltoday 2.0.zip"
4) Not related to this thread, but another one where you said "Mort's MortScript 4.11b7 - !MUST INSTALL TO STORAGE CARD!", I wanted to try that theme first but don't have a storage card. So what happens if i install on the device? If that is not possible, then what do you need MortScript for on that theme?
Sorry for all the questions and thanks in advance.
wheres the .tsk file
looks pretty awesum but ive searched everywhere for a .tsk file of this
ur themes are dope
i just wish they were a bit easier to install

Few Questions
Nice theme, I want. I have few questions:
1) why do you say "use total commandar NOT File Explorer)?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
no file explorer.. simply because in my experience it does not overwrite files in windows folder
2) You say "...copy/move all images in the "brn" folder to your \windows folder on your device". However, I do not see a "brn" folder.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
there should be one folder with image files in the "htctoucher wm7-inspired HTC TOUCH CUBE skin.zip". (sorry I renamed it from "brn" to "htctoucher wm7-inspired HTC TOUCH CUBE skin" at last moment and forgot )
copy ALL FILES inside the folder to your windows folder
3) Where is the "PMC TodayShrink.cab" i do not see it. It's not in the "htctoucher wm7-inspired rltoday 2.0.zip"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
use dcinobar, included in the rltoday.zip in the first post of this thread
4) Not related to this thread, but another one where you said "Mort's MortScript 4.11b7 - !MUST INSTALL TO STORAGE CARD!", I wanted to try that theme first but don't have a storage card. So what happens if i install on the device? If that is not possible, then what do you need MortScript for on that theme?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if you dont have a SD card, you will just install mortscript to your device.
then download the attached zip
...the skin.xml will replace the skin.xml in the main rltoday-->wm7 folder
...the skin-tab*.xml files will replace the skin-tab*.xml files in the mscr folder found in the rltoday-->wm7 folder
if you were wondering, all I did was find instances of "storage card\program files\" and changed them to "\program files\"
i hope that helps

Dude this theme looks awesome...Great work!!!
You put a lot of time into the instructions etc even though my head hurts a little bit trying to read them
Well done!!
Man your work is really nice. I cant get the Mortplayer skin to work right though. What version of the player do I need installed? Or will this just not work on the Touch? Thanks anyway though.

if you are using the 2.0 version of rltoday, the problem with rltoday closing is that actually i optimized
the theme for ultimatelaunch. if you arent using ultimatelaunch you will have to edit some of the scripts in the mscr folder. there are three you will have to edit: tab1.mscr, tab2.mscr, tab3.mscr.....
all you have to do is open them in notepad.. you can even do this in total commander.. change the 0 for the rltoday today item line to 1 so it shows up when you switch through the tabs.
adding apps isas simple as going into the settings of rltoday (hold down on today screen till you get a popup with options.. then go to the apps page and set some. i believe all apps after the 4th will show up on the app tab.
weatherpanel is a today plugin, so there is no exe.. i use it as another page in ultimate launch.. not sure if you can make it act like an app pretty sure you cant
mortscript issue is strange that should not be happening of you have it installed to storage card!
i dont know what sms bubbles you aer talking about.. pcmcontact bubbles if that is what you mean are packaged in the theme zips
looking forward to seeing a video that would be really cool
hope that helps

See Post 3 For Downloads.
Installation:
1. Extract contents of Sonnar Inspirat 0.1.zip anywhere on your PC then copy the .xml file along with the Sonnar folder to your Homescreen folder(\Program Files\Homescreen PlusPlus\).
2. Goto your Batterystatus settings and then hit the advanced tab and select Sonnar from the dropdown.
3. Then your Done.
All the Backgrounds attached are included in the Default BGs zip file.
Thanks to Appelton for the inspiration.
Waiting for Home2 adaption.. Looks promising.
Hmm looks like his concept was inspired by someone else's design lol.. well anyways ive attached the Sonnar Inspirat along with a PSD of the background so you can add your own unique images.
Also I will be taking on suggestions and requests for HS++ Today screens.. so just gimme a buzz. Ive been rather bored lately <_<;
For a preview of the BG's ive provided, see the first post.
IMPORTANT:
Woops.. almost forgot to mention the contacts link doesnt work and its QVGA ONLY
Changelog:
0.2:
Contacts Link Now Works! -Thanks tito! xD
Things to Do:
Figure out the WiFi States in the Registry
Figure out ALL the BT States in the Registry
Adapt that to the A2DP button.
Fix the Number for MMS. -lol my bad.
Hi Aegishua
thank you for posting on Mobile Custom.fr
We'll try your theme and tell you our remarks

Hi Aegishua
Hi there, nice and simple theme, extremely light. Keep on the good work
BTW you mention that "contacts" doesn't work, obviously your link has a small error: you wrote "contacts.ink" instead of "contacts.lnk" (with an L like austraLia
) happened to me too!
Ahaha nice, but will lnk work with the start_app item class? just verify that it does and i'll change it
THANKs

Hi,
How do you get the background show up like the pictures posted here.
I set it as background via settings/Today but the colour appear faded/washed out.
I added it into the .xml by adding this line:
<image left="0" top="1" src="Sonnar BGFinal1.png" height="300" width="240"/>
The colours are great now but the bottom of the background is cut off. See screenshot
Also what is the purpose of the TrayIcons section of the xml. When I enable trayicons in Homescreen ++ options the display becomes too long for the screen and the scrollbar appears. Is this just a matter of reducing the height of the spacer row? Then the background may have to be shortened to compensate.
theme request
http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/8655/launcherzf8.png
can you make a theme like this
This theme is really great look at the picture some guy from XDA Developer was trying to make a new interface for omnia
(PLEASE TAKE PERMISSION FROM THE AUTHOR BEFORE YOU START MAKING THE THEME)
@ ronjoor, when you set your today background... try doing this.
1. Goto your file explorer and find the image file.
2.Then open it with pimg(the default image viewer) and then hit your RIGHT softkey to open the Menu.
3. Then from there SET AS TODAY BACKGROUND.
4. Set the Transperancy level to 0%
@fusioncoast We've been over this already. the fact that it uses a curved layout for the icons means the slide used in batterystatus wouldnt be smooth. You would need to use Flash or different program to accomplish this. Also.. you could always ask him to adapt it from whatever program he was using cause im not sure what that theme is from.
@tito12 Thanks a tonne mate. it works xD
I Still need some inspiration for a new BS Theme... feel free to post something and I'll get around to it. post about ANY issues about the theme itself or if you'd like to see some changes. Just say so and I'll consider it(I'll actually look into it lol).
IMPORTANT:
DOWNLOAD Version 0.2 TO MAKE CONTACTS WORK! See Post 3.
Looks good!
Diggin the layout, testing it on my Verizon XV6900 (HTC Vogue)
Downloaded 0.2, contacts link still not working. Any way to change the clock to 12-hr format?
Also, I can't change the batterystatus to Sonnar...is the reason because of the phone I have? I'm not terribly familiar with HS++ and how to customize the Today screen. I'd like to get my upcoming appointments on the screen if possible. Also, can you create a button on the screen to lock the phone? If i add it through the Today screen settings, it throws off the background image. Any help/guidance would be great!!
See the attached screenshots of with and without the device lock on Today.
Okay, if you want to get that lock working the easy way, I'd remove the bottom bar BUT if you want the tray icons with the bottom bar you'd need adjust the background and the spacer settings.
Code:
<!-- Spacer -->
<Row name="Spacer" rowtoggle="0">
<View height="85">
<Item class="space" type="value">
<label text=" " fontfamily="Segoe UI" align="center" left="0" top="0" fontsize="13" width="30"/>
</Item>
</View>
</Row>
you'd change "View Height" accordingly. My advice personally.. use todaytoggle, the softkeys will still work. Just the ugly bar will dissapear. Sorry i couldn't be of more help, sorta rushing to get to uni. maybe when i get back i'll help you abit more.
i think i kind of got the fix on it...
there is a DeviceLock settings that I can check through the OnHold function, which seems to lock it everytime the screen turns off (which is basically what I was looking for). Also, found a way to get my calendar in the homescreen by integrating the 'TodayAgenda' plugin and playing around with the XML file so it will fit. Also needed to change the background image a bit since the homescreen resizes depending on how much is in the Agenda screen.
I just need to figure out the 24 hr clock to 12 hr...my silly american upbringing won't allow me to learn how to read 24 hr clock. Ok, that's a lie, i just prefer 12 hr.
See my new TodayScreen attached. Thanks for getting this whole thing off the ground, I hope you don't mind my tweaking!
working on my device
very nice bro n thanks
Cool
Very nice dude looks great

[ICON] (Update 27 FEB) Icons "Victorian Time" + .psd file (512x512) to make your own
I added some Icons in the wrong topic (sorry for that) so there was a suggestion I should open a new topic. Here it is. In the first post just a few examples, in the 2nd post the zipfiles with the PNG files and some nice Steampunk backgrounds.
I made them in 100x100 and in 150x150. If you have an X1, the 150x150 are just the right size for you ;-)
If there are any requests please feel free to ask and I will see if I can make something for it. I made the icons for the programms I frequently use.
Actually these are part of a Wisbar Advance Desktop theme I am working on, but it can take ages before I finish it I quess, as I am never satisfied. The goal is to make a complete steampunk theme out of it.....
The PSD file (512x512) is on page 2 POST 11 (on top of page 2)
Enjoy
Cheers,
Arnold
And here are the zipfiles:
In total around 35 icons per category (100x100 or 150x150) and 2 backgrounds. Please take the backgrounds from the zip file, they are better in quality.
Cheers,
Arnold
They look great! Thanks for this!
They do look great. I generally use my own icons but it is tempting to have a page where I use your icons especially for "bookish" related apps like Booklist Lexicon wikipedia wolfs translator and so on where they in my mind would be ideal.
Gongrats with your new thread and thank you for a fine contribution to the community

Very very beautiful icon....
very nice job...
256x256 was better
Looks beautiful... Hope to see more soon...
thank you for your nice words. I think 256x256 are far to big as you can hardly can get 2 next to eachother on WVGA. With this size I have 4 on a row and just have a seperate page with shortcuts to my most used applications.
Cheers,
Arnold
These are very beautiful, no doubt they took quite a bit of time to make. Have you considered removing the text from the icons? This would allow the icons to be used for programs or functions other than those specifically stated.
well, I put the texts on it as I obviously made this for my own theme at first. But if you want I can put an empty background here so you can paste your own icon on it...
Cheers,
Arnold
hi,
i think that "sharing" of template (.psd, or for gimp) is very nice idea
so we can decide to place or remove text, paste our inner content of icon etc.
thank you very much
Okay, no problem, now you can make your own ;-)
Here is the zipfile of the bigger PSD file. 512x512 pixels, you can decide how big you want to have it now ;-)
Enjoy,
Cheers,
Arnold

cool icons...looks illusive
nice icons
I have tried to download these icons twice and on both occasions it says that the zip files are currupted. Anybody know whats going on with thses
well, I just saw your post and tried to download the zipfiles I posted and it went okay, no complains further on and it is downloaded quite a few times, so no idea what is going on...
Cheers,
Arnold
Love these! Folder?
LOVE these icons! Thank you SO much. Question from a total noob:
I've tried icons before using total commander to place them in the \windows folder. Only one or two would actually show up after soft reset.
Do I place these directly into the \windows folder? There is an icon folder that appears empty in the windows folder - not there?
After that, do I need to do anything else beside soft reset? Have not had too much experience with registry and usually need step by step - which the wiki does not appear to help with.
Thanks again and would love to see a donate button?
FOLLOW UP: I copied the files in the folder to the \windows folder and soft reset. Nothing changed. Anything I am missing? Thanks.

haha, coincedence, I just made the donate button as I spend days making other icons and wallpapers for WP7 themes ;-) Here it is! Thanks bro!
Well, if you use them in WAD2 just put them in your storage card and add widget using them as the image.

i love this~~~
How to use without WAD2
Actually, I am not using WAD2. I am currently just running energy rom cookie monster and wanted all the icons to be different. So I copied the files to the \windows folder and soft reset. But nothing changed. Is there a way to use these icons without a different ui?
Thanks. Peace. Michele
Hi All, thought I would publish my first effort at a WAD2 theme. My main aim after using other peoples themes was to make one that is 'thumb friendly' and real simple to use. It has 3 menu pages with large graphical buttons, and a 'home' screen with shortcuts to txt, email and call list. this theme is 99% portrait, how ever on my touch pro 2 if i flip the keyboard and go to landscape i do have a very basic black home screen with the 3 shortcuts. If people like the theme and would like to produce their own icons, let me know and I can post up some photoshop templates.
Installation
Install the files to your normal theme directory and search for new themes, then select Angularz as your portrait and/or landscape theme. Please make sure you install the fonts prior to use, as it may not the clock etc correctly.
Fonts
I use helvetica Neue fonts in the theme and have supplied these in the zip file. I also have replaced my system font with helvetica as it looks nicer, but I will leave that down to you. If you just want to use the fonts for WAD only, place the 3 helvetica fonts in your windows folder (with the rest of the system fonts)
I think I have packaged up all the correct bits (if not please let me know!!)
PLEASE CAN A MOD ALLOW ME TO SHARE LINKS!!
This looks neat. Nice docks.
good day.
it's just WOW!!
Thankyou!, I just wanted something simple but visually nice to look at, and this is the end result!
I find that if you increase the display cache size (through altering the windows registry) it does make it scroll through pages a little smoother.
thatbastard,
I'm using your theme and IMO, it is a simple but gorgeus. However, I have a problem with all notifiers. They are not appeared when I have some unread sms or missed calls. Do you have any suggestions? My device is Omnia i8000.
hi Laruku
You can try going to author mode, then page - show notifiers. Go to the properties once held down on the notifier and have a look through there. Mine is set on 'notifier type - unread sms' etc. by default this should work, however I dont know how different it would be on an omia. have a look in there and see if anything has changed.
how do you get out of author mode
taphold at any page and you'll get yourself the popup menu, i forgot which is the get out of author mode menu,,, but it is there,,,
@thatbastard,
would you mind sharing the images? the home wallpaper is really nice.
new version of WAD converts all the images folder into .wadesktop extension,,, which prevents me for extracting the images,
thx
here's my version
hello everybody !
Here's MY angularz, i hope you'll like this.
Koralii
you can see this on Youtube : v=GXtEynNZaf4 (sorry but i'm new here and can't post the shortcut.
Great Work
Great to see an original piece of work. i will give this a shot
Thanks for adding a bit of originality to my blackstone
Mark
Looks great !!!
wow, great theme
i think i'll make some personal changes and it'd be perfect for my daily use, YO~
DOOD JOB!!
Really nice. It's a shame, imo, that windows phone7 doesn't look more like this. My only comment would be that it might look better to have the text in panels up and to the right a few pixels, and have the voicemail icon transparent. (I can only comment on the screenshot as I don't have VAD2 installed on my device...
Thought it would be handy to have a volume icon on the home screen...
Steve.
Hi all, thanks for checking out my theme, Ive glad youve all liked it. Unfortunately I dont have wisbar installed anymore (and Ive had a lot goin on recently) so will not be continuing anymore projects but I thought I would share the remaining files I have. You can continue modding from my theme as freely as you like, as long as you mention it was based on my creation

Sure, there should be a zip file with ALL the angularz images. Ive also included a new homescreen which is a gloss black version (was going to be called Mono Tonez) but it will not be finished.
Enjoy!
good looking theme
willing to release a WQVGA version?
I´m new user of wad and i don´t know how to install this theme. I´ve installed mortscript and wad, and theme in lakerbridge/themes, and fonts in windows/start menu/programs fonts folder, but I don´t know where install angularz.wadesktop
Thanks a lot of.
Uncle Google says:
1. Using ActiveSync, copy the .wadesktop file to any location on your device.
2. From your device, use File Explorer to navigate to the .wadesktop file you just placed there, then tap on it to launch it.
3. You will be prompted as to a location to place the extracted files. Choose any location you wish (I personally find it helpful to have a Themes folder set up in advance).
4. Once the files are extracted, open WisBar Advance Desktop (if it's not open already), tap and hold on the screen, then tap Change Theme.
5. Now tap Menu > Scan for Themes. When the scanning process is complete, the theme you just installed should appear on the list.
6. Tap the theme, then tap Menu. Choose the appropriate menu option for setting as portrait or landscape. Please note that theme files are usually designed for one orientation or the other.
7. Tap Apply and you're done.
This should get you set up.
Thank you, uncle...
I´ll try.
