htctoucher Mortbutton skins - Pointui, HTC Touch, Pidgin Manilla - Windows Mobile Themes

Updated to support contact pictures, and landscape should look OK for the Touch skin
Here are three skins I made for Mortbuttons (which you can find here: http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=download&action=view&entry=127)
Just to briefly explain why you might want to use Mortbuttons:
.....it allows you to have unlimited number of pages that are fully customizable, which means you can organize all of your programs by category etc. to pop up at the press of a button. This is useful for pointui especially since you can only have seven favorites in that app, this allows you to have as many as you want.
The first is HTC Touch, second is Pointui for v1.51a, and the third is in the second post and goes along with my Pidgin Manila theme that will be featured here in a few days.
The first is for the HTC Touch, which supports only portrait as of now. It looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
INSTRUCTIONS
The HTC Touch skin requires that you place the "htctoucher.mbz" file and the "back.png" image in your Mortbuttons-->skins folder.
....Then you must do the following:
Select "htctoucher" in Mortbuttons Setup-->Display-->Skin dropdown menu
-->Entry Size-->Big
-->Display Style-->User Background-->...-->Portrait ... --> go into your mortbuttons skin folder and select "back.png"
No need to do this for landscape as it is not supported :/
Go back to the main display page
Check both "Hide Title Bar" and "Hide Menu Bar"
Check "Don't insert paging buttons" but uncheck "Don't insert back button to generated submenus"
Go into "Transitions"
For "To left" and "To right" select Cube transition or slide over (whichever you prefer) from drop down.
For "Upwards" and "Downwards" select Slide Over transition.
Zoom in/out select Stretch and Duration 300ms
Go back to the Mortbuttons Setup main page
Go into "Handling" and then Configure Gestures and configure those to your liking
The second is for the new version of Pointui (v1.51a), which can be found here
This is what it looks like (this skin fully supports landscape):
!!INSTRUCTIONS!!
The Pointui skin requires that you place the "pointui.mbz" file and the "bg.png" and "bgl.png" images in your Mortbuttons-->skins folder.
....Then you must do the following:
Select "Pointui" in Mortbuttons Setup-->Display-->Skin dropdown menu
-->Entry Size-->Big
-->Display Style-->User Background-->...-->Portrait ... --> go into your mortbuttons skin folder and select "bg.png"
Select "bgl.png" for Landscape
Go back to the main display page
Check "Hide Menu Bar" but Uncheck "Hide Title Bar" (to make it look exactly like the screenshot above, in Pointui make sure "Use Home's task bar" is selected in options)
Check "Don't insert paging buttons" but uncheck "Don't insert back button to generated submenus"
Go into "Transitions"
For "To left" and "To right" select Cube transition from drop down.
For "Upwards" and "Downwards" select Slide Over transition.
Zoom in/out select Stretch and Duration 300ms
Go back to the Mortbuttons Setup main page
Go into "Handling" and then Configure Gestures and configure those to your liking
Hope you like these skins!
Enjoy!

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Here is the mortbuttons skin to go along with my rltoday, s2u2 and PocketCM theme found on this page (I updated this theme to allow top bar on that thread)
looks like this:
....big icon setting:
....................small icon setting:
supports both landscape and portrait AND small icon setting in options of mortbuttons
you can use the same set up as in the above post for selecting the background, transitions, the skin etc.
Enjoy!

htctoucher, good job on the pointui skin for mortbuttons! I think I may have found a bug with it though. I tried making a contact page with some of my contacts who have pictures. The picture shows up on your skin, but the text does not show up. In the options it shows the contact "last, first" name and "(Call)." That part does not show on your skin. I tried the skins that came with pointui and the text does show up on them. Any idea what is going on?
I am using pointui 1.02b version because the 1.51a version is buggy. Any way you could make a 1.02b black theme for mortbuttons?
Thanks!

I actualy had no idea you could use mortbuttons for contacts, so I dont really know how to help you with that one (sorry!)
What do you mean by "I tried the skins that came with pointui and the text does show up on them"? what skins that came with pointui are you referring to?
And yeah sure I will whip that 1.02 black skin up for you some time this week.
thanks for your interest!

Sorry, I accidentally wrote "pointui." What I meant was, I tried the skins that came with mortbuttons and the text shows up on the button along with the contact picture. Huh, I have no idea why the contact text "last, first name" doesn't show up on your pointui skin and does on the mort skins.

I think I figured it out. The picture is so large that it overlays and hides the text "last, first name."
I should be able to fix that pretty easily.. in fact.. check first post for update because it is fixed now!
within the week I will try to have the black skin done for you.. no later than sunday! (if you still want it?)
thanks

htctoucher HTC/Manila inspired s2u2 theme

Here is simple s2u2 theme, manila-inspired
wasnt going to upload it, but got a request, so figured I might as well!
looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
left is the lock screen, right is the picture that comes up when you get a call from someone that doesnt have a contact picture
to use it, you have to put all the images in the gfx folder in this gfx.zip in the gfx file on your device.
Overwrite all files, the only change in the clock is that the AM and PM are smaller than the numbers, looks better I think (breaks it up)
TO HAVE THIS THEME LOOK JUST LIKE THE PREVIEW ABOVE....
...You will have to remove the files "topbar.png" and "vtopbar.png" in order to disable the top and bottom gradient bars
...You will have to remove "slide.png" and "slideanis.png" to hide the bottom slide background/"slide to unlock" animation that is default with s2u2
the "home.jpg" I provided can be used as your home's contact image (just assign it to your contact)
I am also including three templates so that if you want to have contact pictures show up to look like the above, you can fit them inside the boxes:
the .zip is templates.zip (you have to put your contact's photos in the boxes in something like paint or photoshop - and then assign them to your contacts)
I think that's all
Enjoy!

Thanks alot htctoucher, your photoshop skills are amazing.
Was wondering if you had a charging/battery artwork to go along with this?
wonderfull
Looks great, but can you upload the same for VGA Devices?

I havent actually upgraded s2u2 since .99p.. a little behind (but it works so I figure why change .. plus I hear newest version has battery drain issues)

hmmm
bro..how to get the sms and email icon on the slide wallpaper?
Hey toucher, i was curious if you were going to make any of your awesome skins and themes in vga? Please. great work
thanks..very very nice
I can't seem to find the topbar and bottom bar png files in my 'gfx' folder. But the bars are there. Is this 'hard coded' into S2U2 v.1.22?
By the way, how did you move the 'number' (for missed call, sms, etc) from bottom to top??
is there is a way this will be made to support HTC Diamond VGA device
i loved it on my HTC Touch
and i just upgraded to the diamond and i miss it
Thanks for your effort a lovely theme
awesome gfx, just what I was looking for. very clean and polished.
i am running this theme on s2u2 1.33. there seem to be problem with the notification icons on s2u2. i have a new email, but on the notification, its show MMS instead. i tried removing the notice.png and replacing it, it still the same problem. anyone else experiencing this?
This is great!!
BUT....I have a Touch Diamond, and the wallpaper is very small aswell the slider.
So, could this be made for a VGA device? For the Touch Diamond?!
Thanks

You can simply disable top and bottom curton in s2u2 settings!
hey guys sorry I havent checked this thread forever.
I cannot really convert this to VGA, as when I made this theme I accidentily flattened the lock icon and never saved my vectored version, meaning I cannot really resize it without redoing it completely (which I would do if I had a VGA device to test/use this on)
problems you are having with the notifications are due to a new notice.png in verson 1.33 i think which added two more icons, you can fix this by opening the new notice.png default in 1.33, then taking mine and fitting my icons into the correct positions again.
i moved the number of the missed call etc to the top of the icon by increasing the canvas size of the notice.png and moving the notice icons underneath the numbers
hope that helps
wish I could help you guys out with VGA, seriously if I had a VGA device I'd do it in a second, there just isnt much reason since I cannot test it or use it myself
thanks guys

[WAD] VGA Overlay Themes (Black and White)

.theme is VGA its all on one page, just a dock for every element.
Prerequisites:::::
of course Wisbar Desktop Advance 2
And for sms to work make sure mortscript is installed(here) and with a registry program create the registry key 'HKLM/Software/ThrottleLauncher/Messaging'
Usage:::
Slide up/down to show/hide bottom dock
Slide right for contacts dock, slide left for Applications dock
Taskbar is hidden on defualt, tap the date underneath the clock to launch the start menu/show taskbar. Or if you need the taskbar just enable on the page, the theme will not be affected[/SIZE]
tapping the "Updated..." on the weather page will update the weather
there is a notification tab for email, notification counters for sms and appointments, and notification bubbles that pop up for missed calls and voicemails (as these need your attention the most I'd think). they all hide when count is 0

B]theme is VGA[/B] its all on one page, just a dock for every element.

just sounds like the "messaging" app is in a different location than on my phone. no biggie. Put WAD into author mode and long press on the sms link, select properties, then select script, hilight "launch a program" and edit it to point to whatever messaging app on your phone you want.

QVGA
QVGA of this glorious, yet amazingly simple theme.
Have a nice day.
For those new to WAD2, this is a great theme to learn to how to use its limitations to your advantage.
you made my day! ..
but the "dock" is empty!
how can i solve this problem?

yea author mode isnt as hard as you think, this is my first theme. I have 2-3 new ones im currently working as well.
If youd like the slide gesture to launch a program that is easy to do yourself. In author mode long tap on the background, go to page, then properties, select gestures and there you can customize the slide up/down/left/right gestures to "launch a program" or do pretty much anything else you want

You're quite welcome. And thank you for the simplistic nature of the design. I was actually able to build the QVGA on top of your original. Didn't have to start from scratch.
Is anyone else having issues getting the theme to auto launch after a soft reset? I'm wondering why they didn't make a today plugin check box like the other themes Ive used.

sounds like program issues more than anything.
long click on the homscreen and go to settings to make sure that "detatch from today screen" is NOT checked. also check the wakeup tab to see if its checked to run on soft reset

GREAT WORK
THANKs Chpoubs
THANKs apothehouse
Fantastic ! I love this theme
very nice my friend
Any screenshots please?
can someone post a mirror for this download. i want the black theme but the link is not working right. and does this theme come in english?
Thanks Apothehouse, love the theme, I have been looking for a light theme for awhile.
Couple of points I would love to change, if you could advised me how to:
1. your vista orb gives a list of apps, ok just realize it is picking up the apps from program list I created (so if I arrange my list to have the ones I want to show up then they will be in the list when I press the ORB...cool
2. ok then my next (first since the first was not a question at all , is their a way to cut the list down to 6 apps showing instead of 7 (the last app covers the ORB - see screenshot) unless it is possible to move the whole popup upwards above the SPB3 taskbar? (would be great if the Vista ORB was visable and we could tap on it again to close the menu)
3 (2) is it possible to have the Program tab show when first clicking on programs instead of the SPB Menu tab.
EDIT: actually looking at your screenshots, the popup menu is suppose to popup above the taskbar, my setup seems to be different (and yes I did DL & Install the VGA version onless the DL files were mixed up)
@ wmontae : no mirror please, it's a exclu for mobilecustom
ok i got it 2 work now...
thanks anyway for this great theme
Thank you very much.
Provied your share.

Thanks for the Reply Apothehouse, but for number 2 I think you might have misunderstood me, I know that button will soft reset but that is not what I meant to close I meant to close your menu popup (so what I mean I click on the Vista Orb icon to open your menu and then click on your Visat Orb again to close it if I decide not to use it) but when you look at me screenshot the last program in the menu covers the Vista Orb.
3. Yes I mean to open the Favorite page.

Its much like M2D, SPB SHELL and Iphone today all combined, but simpler.
Its still a little buggy on different devices and (suposedly) a bit of a memory drain, currently theres no ladscape support.

M2D icons:
Just replace your TGA on the plugin folder with the attached one (backup yours first, just in case) and restart the plugin.

Another tip, I moved my pictures to:
\Storage card\My documents\My pictures and now all the pics are showing up there.
The bottom softkeys open the picture album or a autoplay slideshow.
The right counter is also a smooth slider. [/QUOTE][/QUOTE]

you can enable/disable tabs on the START/Settings/Today/Items/Plugin Options
Or direcly in \Program Files\MotoSurf\TodayOption.exe
Home tab cant be disabled, and the rest of the list is in another font, so the list is as follows:
- Contacts
- Internet
- Weather
- RSS (duh)
- Pictures
- Applications
Other tips:
---------------
- You can click once on the upper window on the HOME tab to fix it to the windows there, with 3 extra shortcuts that you can change easily.
- Ordering the launcher and contacts is pretty obvious, just press whithout releasing the finger and drag afterwords. To remove, use the SETTINGS softkey.
- The big weather is reached after clicking a city. As mentioned by bugsykoosh, the C anf F are also clickable to choose weather type.
- Also mentioned before, the SETTINGS icon on the home tab allows more customization.
- The weather wallpaper option are JPG's inside \Program Files\MotoSurf\ , in fact all the images, icons and XML's that make the layout seem to be there, so skinning and modding this baby should be a breeze.

I think this thread needs to be closed. The main discussion is in the other thread. Instead of making a new thread, why not just update the first post in the original?

Hey twolf do you think it is possible to make flip clock in qvga for this plugin? I am just starting to play with modding it a bit.
Im afraid it looks pretty static, even the images dont change untill you restart the plugin... :/
twolf - thanks for bringing this great UI to XDA. Hopefully it will catch on more with others and we'll see some great mods here shortly.
I have an Omnia (WQVGA) - Motosurf works great, however the icons are stretched, as is the wallpaper. I've re-sized the icons and tweaked some of the other images to fit properly - how though do I go about actually resizing the entire UI to fit 240x400? Is it as simple as adjusting the sizes (240x320) included in the xml files? If someone could give me a direction as to where and how to start modding Motosurf to fit 240x400, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thx for Big Clock Twolf...
@ mtglo
Try this one...
Updated _application.xml to look much better on WQVGA
Just a clarification, jboogie3 brought this great software, not me.

Tip and skin added to the first post, thanks.
@lesscro
thanks for the file. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to do much to the standard layout, except for reducing the size of the calendar text on the home page. The wallpaper is still stretched, as are the contact and favorites images. Thanks for the effort though.
I've attached the icons I re-sized for WQVGA, so they are not stretched. Just unzip and replace current tga files (backup as necessary).
Do you guys have the fix for the favorite aplication issue?, i cannot add one single program !!!
Thanks in advance.
Keep this thread up TWOLF!

[THEME] WP7 for iPhoneToday UI and wm skins [UPDATED 26/5/11]

for the original theme credits to JCKOTZE
On 26/5 I updated every theme with some settings adjustmens (the most noticeble is a little increase of the indented area and so a more WP7 proportioned icon grid) and added few wallpapers inside icons folder.
Since I've seen only fully black backgrounds in all WP7 UI (really boring) , I put a themed wallpaper as default background, but you can easily switch to another one of your choice or to a solid color.

INSTALLATION1 - Install a WM metro skin
2 - Install iPhoneToday
3 - Copy contents of attached "WP7 Theme" folder into iPhoneToday program folder; black, red and GTX theme here,
4 - Restart Iphonetoday​
NOTES- Added clean screen (last picture)
- this theme is made for WVGA-VGA devices, for different screen sizes you need to edit (not necessary all)
settings->screen->icon width
settings->screen->Offsetts->R value (it's the indented area and affects the horizontal icons spacing)
settings->screen->Text Settings->text height (it's the vertical spacing between icons)​- to switch to a solid color background go to options->wallpaper-> delete the selected wallpaper name and leave the selection blank, then select a color from the bottom selector.
- Check out iPhoneToday thread for more commands to associate with icons (e.g. start menu,custom rotation angle, soft reset, open a specific email account... ecc.)
- If you install iPT as "today plugin", you can use nueNoBar to hide bottom bar , I quickly tested on WM6.5.5 and works, but can't say about battery draining, I prefer to have a metro bottom bar
- I suggest to use uTask to make this UI smarter​
Please attach here your own icons sets
theme is great, how do you get the contact hub to animate or show the pictures of your contacts ??

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you should check in iPhoneToday thread, I don't remember if animated images are supported, to get your contact pictures you have to edit the icon image
thank you, i will check it to see if animated contact hubs are supported. great job and amazing work
I add here a new version of icons.xml , works for all theme colors .
Now if iPhoneToday is srcolled, leads to clean screen (to appreciate your wallpapers) with only visible time,date,notifications.
In fact are icons, without images, and if pressed nothing happens, (to delete notification you have to scroll up and use a visible icon).
If you want to have this without overwrite your own icons.xml edit iPT settings and add icons as in last picture example.
i couldnt find anything regarding animated hubs in the thread, is there a script that can do this ?
WM metro skins
These WM 6.5.x skins are based on Sir sternas work
More green theme
edited 2 icons, if someone doesn't like the red versions on green theme.
Very nice theme, the simplicity is awsome... could you please, please, please make the QVGA version. Thank you.

sorry but I've only a wvga device, you ,or another qvga user, could try editing the settings.xml (it should be all in there) to fit the theme on your device ,and upload it here
more skins
a standard WP7 skin by nickschot ,a blue dark based on jeffrey2000 ipad skin and a green dark from kenchan2009
Ooh... I don't know how to edit the setting.xml... I'll wait other QVGA user(s)... anyone?

you can do it directly from iPhoneToday settings, if the iPT icon is not displayed on your QVGA screen jus press for a couple of seconds on the screen -in an area without icons- it will appear a menu-> chose options-> screen and try different icon width and offsets values
Yeaaah...! that's work... Thank You.
I just copy the WP7 to the iPhoneToday... the icon width change itself to 90. Before this i just change the icon & set the icon width but the icon placed on the middle of the screen. With your Setting.xml my icon is left indent... look very nice, once again Thank You So Much.
Do you have more WP7 icons?

awesome theme way to go my new fave, how hard would it be to make a live weather tile? or message or phone calls show 0 until you get a call and the tile changes not the bubble pop up

hi, this is not possible I think, check on iPhoneToday thread, cause this UI displays only simple icons, not true tiles
reeshmd23 said:

Click to expand...

same as above, is just a phone icon, notifications come from windows OS.
If you don't like bubbles you can change settings to display only numbers:
settings->bubbles->type=notif image=bubbles\notif .
I setted bubbles cause I find them more noticeable and eye candy than a plain number
very nice, thanks
