[Tips, tricks & Skins] MotoSurf today plugin (big clock added) - Windows Mobile Themes

MotoSurf is a excelente new today plugin provided by jboogie3 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544813
dioxda2 gave us some screens:
{
"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_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
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.

How to get the scroll feature to work? Ive had this on my device for a day now, received several texts and email but no scroll

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?

This is/was going to be mostly about modding, while the other is for discovering the plugin limits/use.

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.

How to you get the photo viewer to see your storage card I already made the my document and picture folder is there something I am missing?

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!

With the help and inspiration from Bluemetalaxe and many others here, I was able to create some icons for UL. All the icons are 48x48 pixels, which the size can be altered in the UL settings. Up to five 48x48 icons can be placed side by side and flushed on the bottom of your today screen.
What I suggest is creating a new "UL Icon" folder on your SD card, so that you can save and use as many icons as you'd like, without worrying about memory.
I also posted some PNG images and icons here as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378260&page=4 post # 37, but from now on I'll be posting my releases here.
The application I use to make the icons (Icofx) can be located in post # 13. Also if you have any icon request, please let me know.
A Brief Tutorial about using UL icons is in Post #9

Transformer
Credit goes to luiggi for taking the time to convert these (PC- Style and Transformer) PNG images into ready-made UL icons.

A brief tutorial on using and installing UL icons:
Bottom Task Bar: If you and when you want to disable the bottom task bar in your today screen, download and install dcinobar.exe, and place it in your windows\startup folder in your device, then reboot.
Scroll Bar in Today Screen: If you and when you want to disable the scroll bar on your today screen, (so you can place your UL icons on the bottom), go into the registry settings of your device, (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\Ultimatelaunch\" and change "Type" from "4" to "5”. This value locks the plugin to the today screen effectively, thus disabling (removing) the today screen scroll bar (then reboot so the setting will stick). Special note … you have to also Uncheck all your “today” plugins, which is located in your settings/today/Items folder, you want nothing but icons on your today screen like the pics in the first post.
Icons on the bottom of the screen: If and when you want the UL tabs/icons to sit against the bottom of the today screen, you have to go into the UL settings, then go into the “Display” folder like in the picture above. Pllease note the settings I currently have. Checking the "Fixed Plugin-height" box will enable you to adjust the space between the top and bottom tabs. The higher the number, the more space between and vice versa get it? Good!!. Now also make you choose "bottom" in the "Tab Headers position" drop down box as well.
The quickest and easiest way (for me) of placing these icons on my deivce is through active sync. Now go into your "Program Files/Ultimate Launch\Icons" folder in your device. This is where you place the icons.
(1) go into your UL settings on your phone, (for example) in the "Tab" folder,
(2) Highlight the first item and hit "change" which is the 3rd button on the right,
(3) Go to "tab" again, and you'll see XP-Icon button. Hit that and it'll browse your device/storage card. Look for where icon you placed it, which was in Program Files\Ultimate Launch\Icons folder. There you will find the icons.
Also remember, you can assign two images to one (.exe) an application, "Normal" and "Pushed'. This is a cool feature many other launchers don't have.
If anyone comes across anything significant I missed and should mention, please don't hesitate to tell me, and I'll update the tutorial.
MySpace Icon?
The icons look great man....Could you create a MySpace icon also?

Maybe you could post them as png so long and some creative members can convert what they like to ico format, and share what they convert? This way, the burden is not all on you...

Good Idea
Below is the app I use to create/edit icons. Basically using this is fairly simple. If I can do it, you or anyone can too, lol.
I'm still learning how to use the application because the original picture size varies. Also, I included some ready-made icons as well (some of which are pictured above). Hopefully, this will spark many to create unusual and interesting new icons
Ya Boi D, I'm not sure if you're looking for something like this. You can see it on my today screen, and it's included in the random icon file. I'll keep searching. You know have the tools to create some yourself and share.
Very nice icons - Thanks
ico not as mamy as in the finger
I downloaded the summerboard zip and found few icos not exist in tne zip shown in your posted finger. How can i get them?Thanks
awesome! thanks for the great collections.
all i can say is wow ive probably downloaded over 300 icons for UL and none of them even hold a candle to these looks like im not gona sleep for a few days i hope i can figure out how to convert them or i might not ever leave my computer. but ive got no job and 2 cases of beer ill get em done thanks for some killer icons
To all, I'm glad you like the icons,
The "Summerboard" zip has been updated with the 4 missing icons. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Several icons on the bottom of my today screen are game icons, which I'm currently working on. I have 19 of them and will post them (in icon form) tomorrow at the latest.
is there a tutorial on how to install the skins?
first time using UL xD
Hi!
Excellent icons but can you you explain how you did the firts screen shots like iphone without windows task bars?
I use too UL but i still have the task bar...
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_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)

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

[Release] Hero theme for ThrottleLauncher QVGA/WQVGA (VGA/WVGA test see post77)

Finally the TL Theme like Sense UI:
{

"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",

Here is a capture of "LockScreen" that allow a music option, for now works with S2P (when S2P running in background the lockscreen shows cover and control)
In Home screen swipe to right or left to go to other 2 widget screens, swipe up to down to open a menubox and swipe again down to up to hide menubox.
I add to this theme few widgets to have a better experience:
- Hero SMS Widget
- Hero Weather Widget (you can choose between 3 version Big, medium and small, all of these with weather animated thanks to APBilbo)
- Hero S2P Widget (in 2 version: Big and small)
- HeroClock widget with animated flip effect.
Instructions:
- Unzip the Hero.Zip inside the setups folder of your ThrottleLauncher folder.
- In order to have Hero font, just copy the font file inside Windows or Font folder.
- In order to have music option in lockscreen and see Artist name for S2P, please copy the .mscr file inside your \Windows\Startup folder (you must have to install the last version of mortScript first)
- Unzip your favorite widget zip inside the Widgets folder.
- Please Note, in order to have the animations of clock working yo have to download ClockAnimations.zip from here and unzip in your StorageCard because is a larger file, then select the path inside the widget settings. The same process is for WeatherAnimations (see here)
I already have to thanks a few people: thanks to Haykuro and his videos to make me wish to have this UI; thanks to APBilbo for this awesone program and his support, thanks to Dego1988 and Fireslave his themes gave me a lot of ideas.
If you have more widgets please go (HERE)
UPDATE: For all of you guys that have problems because doesnt know what folder order use, I made a cab with the theme and all the widgets that I made until now including the fixed HeroClock.
VIDEO:
This is the video of theme working in my artemis.
VIDEO
With some instructions, if you need more please tellme.
UPDATE2:
Added zip with WQVGA version thanks to Roniez in ThrottleForum
UPDATE3:
Please test the VGA and WVGA versions posted HERE but remember this versions doesn´t have menu animations.
If everything ok I posted here.
Dude, looks really good! Might make me use ThrottleLauncer
It would be cool to have a weather/contacts widget too!
Nice! Can we have a video preview?
Nnniicccceeee
I'm not going to use this but:
It looks realy nice!
hollyyyyyy mother lol, it looks very cool! tks for this man!
Some instructions:
Hi Again, this post is for all of you guys that for first time use ThrottleLauncher or dont know how use Hero theme:
Instructions 1:
LockScreen Picture:
Instructions 2:
No Animated Clock or Weather
I hope this help, regards
PLEASE: Maybe some Mod can move this post to the second place for better order I really appreciate.
Looks great!
I would give it a try...
First release in the first post, feel free to report your feedback.
Thanks
First release in the first post, feel free to report your feedback.
Thanks
no way! :-|
This is so awesome :-D
I want to test it, but I have a WGVA-phone.
Will you release this theme with other resolutions too or only QVGA?
Anyway, keep up the good work :-D
Wow.. great work! If you ever make a VGA version for the diamond I will use it for sure!
Testing
Installing NOW on ELFin
Will post after testing.....
Paul
vga support will make my week! tf3d is so stale right now! kudos and keep up the good work!
great theme. After testing on my vogue, i cant get the bottom bar to disappear and having it hide bottom bar only hides the words not the bar. also, my right clock numbers keep disappearing. got any suggestions? now i cant hide top bar in stanalone
@incubus26jc
please can you put a screenshot of your problem, It will be more easy to understand.
Nope
Is not running on the HTC ELFin
-Only the lower silver half circle appears with the clock and the Carrier's Name. Nothing else works, sometime the upper menu would work.
Regards,
Paul
I installed everything as directed on my Touch Pro (Sprint) & it isnt working. Think you may be able to package everything together? Like the widgets, Hero, etc in all of the designated folders so that all i have to do is unzip? I know its a lot but i would like to try this out.
@Paul_Days
can you put a screenshot please?
@tpierre

Almost every aspect of S2U2 has been skinned in this theme. I am also including the original wallpaper set make by grzegorz10
Installation of S2U2 theme.
1. Make sure you have S2U2 2.30 or higher
2. Download ALL of the files
3. Install ALL of the files
4. Unzip the wallpapers and put them on your device where you can find them
5. Go to Programs > S2U2 > S2U2 settings
6. Open the "Information" tab
7. Set the Clock folders you want to use (because there are more than 2, the clock folders are not pre-set in the cab
8. If you want the second hand to show on the analog clocks, you have to set the time format to hh:mm:ss
9. Go to the wallpaper tab and select your wallpaper, there are walls for portrait and landscape in the zip, you have to set the wall for it to show
10. Adjust any other settings to your liking and hit SAVE.
11. Go to Programs > S2U2 > S2U2 to restart the program and enjoy!
For all the new clocks get them here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4QL0SJ3W

First of all, you must have S2U2 installed to your phone already. This is for WVGA only. Then you must install it to your device, not to your memory card. Then you have to set your desired clock folders. Some more info on the problem that you are having would be nice.
hi a have instaled but dont work

you have to open iLock2 to turn off S2U2 and then restart it. You also have to set the clock folder and wallpaper in the S2U2 settings. Did you even read my last post? What EXACTLY is it not doing? I just re-installed it on my phone and it worked perfectly. Install, set wallpaper, set clock folder, done. If you don't have S2U2, it won't work. This is a THEME, not the Program.
Works great on Tilt2
Works great on Tilt 2. Minor issue, my 3G icon is showing native icon. Is this icon part of S2U2 theme? If so could you possibly skin? Otherwise I can easily live with this one. Fantastic work thank you for your efforts, it looks awesome on my phone.
Hello, is already working. You can change what it says "slide to unlock" to the
for example "hello"?

I reworked all of the icons that were built into the theme. I have a CDMA device, so I have no way to test that. Wish I could be of more help, but all i did was rework the existing files of S2U2. Thanks for the compliment, I was very happy to make this theme and I hope you and many more will enjoy it.
Not getting a whole lot of input. Lots of people are downloading but nobody is telling me what they think. I can only improve this theme if I have input guys, otherwise I'll stop development of this project.
i installed the cab, but when I am looking in the folder S2u2 nothing is there.
In windows/Appmgr I found an empty folder Xpressyourcell Dushkish, so I have no idea how to get this working...
Cheers,
Arnold

it overwrites existing files in s2u2. Just run iLock2 to stop S2u2, go to S2u2 settings and set what clock folders to use and what wallpaper you want then rerun S2u2 and your changes will show up. It is a skin, not a program. As I already stated in POST #3 and Post #5.
Can you please post the files in a zip format?
The cab files crash my S2U2, im using Omnia II.

I also got it working on my Omnia, I had to reinstall everything onto the main drive and not my storage.
Initially I had it on my storage(16gig) instead of the main drive(100meg).
Could you possible redo the battery pic? Something along the lines of the flip clock and slider button styling (black, glossy and just all around slick!)
Also, for the top curtain the lock icon is somewhat squished looking, im not sure if thats how you wanted it to look?
Dont mean to sound like a nit picker but I noticed that you were looking for feedback from your previous post.
Awesome skin!

Thanks for the input. I too am a little unhappy with the lock icon but the spacing on the icons is very specific and I will have to redo the whole top bar. Right now I'm just to busy with other projects and work. Glad you like it.
Just updated the first post with instructions on how to install.
this theme is spectacular, thank you very much
is it possible to update for the new 2.30 s2u2?? it's not working with repositioning the slider on the center..thanks.
Thanks your share, the very good creativity, thanks ~

[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:

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
