RLToday theme for weather only?
Ive been trying for a while but I just dont know how to create rltoday themes, isnt it possible to create a theme only for getting weather info from yahoo? Im trying to make a theme like this one which I already have all icons for small, normal and huge. Thanks

Im trying to "touch up" on my own theme, however i find it taxing to edit it in word on my laptop then transfer it on to my phone then refresh the program.
Is there some way i can edit it on my phone, or edit it on my pc and see the results before i transfer it to my phone?

Wow! Thanks

It it possible using MortScript and RLToday to pull the current, hi and low temps for today using this link I found?
http://www.weather.gov/xml/current_obs/KFFZ.xml
If so, can someone get me started in the right direction. Show me one, and I can finished the rest. Just don't know where to begin.

Yes! Use Total Commander to drill down to the rlToday folder, rename the file from skin.xml to skin.txt then dbl click it to open. Word will edit the file like a normal text file. When done, close it. Word will warn you to save in .doc format, which you DON'T want to do. Click no, and it will save as a txt file. Close Word, then rename the file back to skin.xml . Now go back to your Today screen and have rlToday reload the skin. Voila! Changes visible.

Thx for the props, we made it look slick but it was not that simple , took some time for editing files by Showaco and some creative thinking for the theme by me (example MAIL inbox with flag). We've been adding new developments and ideas to make TF3D look different and exciting We hope everyone enjoys. More ideas brewing in the labs

WOW
You guys are geniuses, thanks so much for all you effort and hard work.

yo godzson could you let me know if im doing something wrong.in the mail part of my touchflo on the envelope there are no words.at the top of the envelope i can just make out some of the words but there faded.other then that excellent work as always.me and my wife both have your theme creation on our pros and your fonts and have been waiting on you to hit us with something new.we really appreciate all the work.you and showaco are a mean combination im sorry forgot to say that i have stock rom touch pro and i used the simple cab you provided. i did try uninstalling and reinstalling but no luck.thanx in advance bro

Hi!
Looks marvelous!!! I'm realy happy with this..
But I've only got one question. I once made my own theme and I very much like that one too. But I like your top and bottom bar very much..
Could it be possible to make a cab file for me, to install only your beautiful top and bottom bar? That would be superb, cause then I can maybe combine it with my own skin later on..
But don't worry: I'll tell my friends the credit goes to you guys..
Thnks!
Mzl, Floris!

i LOVE it !! Thanks !!!!!!!
erm why can i now only select US-States in weather damn'it I live in germany lol ... can anyone guide me on how to get that back? else its great
i think its related to 7fccb263_manila, right? anyone got that in original? thanks!

Or maybe you could tell me witch files in the CFC zip file are the files which install the top and bottom bar.. that would also be good for me!
Thnks!

the task bar is not part of it, it is a theme for wisbar if I'm not mistaken...

very nice, i like it a lot.
2 problems im having.
i cant read the emails on the email tab, letters look to be white same as the back.
and in the landscape section....programs doesnt work.
oh weather wont update as well.... couple be cause something else im running, not sure.
when i get on my laptop ill check it more... im on the tp
thanks....
also, maybe you guys should add a options section to change the font and the color of the font without having to dowload a new cab. i have some walpaper that i like but dont work well with the current font color. be nice to be able to use the same theme since i do like it but be able to change the wallpaper.
thanks for the hard work guys, awesome

Rocking Theme
Thanks for this. A great team effort and awesome theme.
I only have one small request and it may just be me but I crave colour
Not the fonts just the wallpapers and maybe the icons.

You guys have really outdone yourselves on this one. Keep working together cause this is outstanding.
Maybe the next project could be transparent top and bottom bars?

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

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.

Hi Aegishua

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

I wouldn't post anything that is not verified of course it works (BTW see my answers on mobilecustom.fr)

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

[WAD2 Theme] Angularz - WVGA

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.

[Guide] How To Edit Skin .apk's

Hi all.
I thought i would write a basic guide on how to modify a skin apk the way YOU want it. There are some great skins being made, but often the colour scheme is not the way you might like it. I am new to android so if i have made any mistakes please let me know and i will correct ASAP.
Firstly i will say if you modify any skin, please DO NOT post it unless you have the previous developers permission. This is IMPORTANT. They are for personal use only.
First you need to install the following on to your PC:
Android SDK Here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
Java JDK and JRE Here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Auto sign Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=473580
A good photo editing tool. I use photoshop.
Once installed open the android sdk and download the relevant Android Platforms.
Download the skin apk you want to modify. The apk can be opened with winrar. There will generally be 3 folders a xml and arsc. The two we need to look at are assets and res.The assets folder contains the preview pic and the wallpaper for the skin. The res folder contains all the png files. In res, the drawable folder contains the xml's. drawable-port-hdpi contains the png's for the home screen like the softbar and sense clock. drawable-land-hdpi contains the pngs used in land scape. drawable-hdpi contains the bulk of the png used in the skin
The following is how i changed the carbon fiber orange skin to green.
Extract the Carbon fiber apk. Then i wanted to change to colour scheme from orange to green so i used the res/drawable-hdpi from the evolution skin by extracting with winrar as this uses green png's. Copy the green png from the extracted evolution res/drawable-hdpi to the extracted carbon fiber res/drawable-hdpi. You will need to go through each png and just replace the orange png as the carbon fiber skin has some parts in this file.
Then take a look at the png's in the extracted carbon fiber res/drawable-port-hdpi. You will see the ones used for the home screen button colours (there the one's that are orange) Here is were photoshop comes in. You can remake the buttons or simply edit the colour of the existing png's your choice. I also changed the colour of the clock numbers from silver to green. Then replace your modified pngs with the ones in res/drawable-port-hdpi.
Next you can change the wallpaper and preview pic in the assets/image.
Now you need to add the modified folders with winrar. Open the original orange carbon fiber.apk with winrar and drag the modified assets and res folders from the modified extracted carbon fiber, to the archive. It will now replace the folders. Then close winrar.
Next you need to resign the apk with autosign for it to install. Please read the instructions on the autosign thread. Once auto sign is set up just right click on the modified carbon fiber.apk and click resign APK, wait a few seconds and job done!
I hope this info comes in useful. If i have missed anything please let me know and i will add it.

That's great! Thanks!

It always can't show on lockscreen.
Can you tell me why.

It is for launcherpro. I don't use this sorry. it is not a skin but a whole dock replacement.
I have only been using android for around 2 weeks, so i am new to this.
Edit: i took a look and it is a skin for launcher pro. install instructions seem easy: Taken from the readme.txt:
Install:
- Download launcherpro
- On home: Press menu -> Preferences -> Appearence -> Dock background -> Custom

Can anyone tell me, after edit the apk file, how can i change the name of the skin and author?

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
