Following on from Lacuna42 here is an idea I had playing around in my head for some time.
The theme is based on the iconpack
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787446
by Wheezy_be
derived from the iconset

by yankoa.
The Light version in this thread is provided as is, there will be no updates.
In order to use this theme you must have throttle launcher installed.
Simply unzip the folder to your pc and then copy to your setups folder under throttle launcher on your phone.
Once installed you will need to run through the settings at the bottom and select the default applications for the various blocks.
Save this, relaunch throttle launcher and your done
If you are looking for something simple clean and highly visible please download and enjoy.

CHANGELOG :
04 June 2011 :
Due to Google screwing with their weather api I have had to modify the theme to use the current condition text instead of the originally numbered icons from the registry. There are several new conditions for which I do not have icons so I have for now recycled existing ones. When a fuller set is made available I will update again.
Android7 beta development post

you are going to need to either
a) replace an existing colour with one of these
or
b) edit the config.xml to include them in the drop down

Sure, I Thought Dave added it into config, so he probably didn't, anyway just copy this (unrar it and copy only config.xml) into folder and replace existing one.
You will also need white background - u set it in TL too.

cool i edited the config.xml, and seems to have worked except some tiles look like they haven't been skinned or maybe files missing?
see attachments... thanks..
Idk why the waether icon missing, cause it is there and it works for me (Try config, what I uploaded), maybe Dave can solve it.
Anyway, u can see that the month isn't correct there so in attachments I add whole skins, just replace whole folder by this. Sfter this, everything should be OK, red icon, month...
I can't try it cause I forgot a cable at college
Thanks for feedback
you would need to look closely but i actually expanded the top portion of the calendar icon to allow the date to fit in on my iconsets. bit of artistic license to allow for more space for the month
It can be even absolutely different. But this is a little out of plan.
hahaha bonkers
well ive taken a look in the registry and it seems as though the registry key that is used to pick up the curicon has changed to a full http path which is not good
on the plus side the curcondition is still showing correctly as cloudy (right now) so what i will do is recode the block to show a default icon and then have the temp and condition overlayed

Updated beta 5 now available in post #2
31/05 Beta5 Changelog
Only one small and yes significant change here, due to google messing with their api's the weather icons in 90% of all TL themes will have stopped displaying.
A quick search shows that this is effecting developers across multiple platforms who are desparately trying to FIX googles "improvement" to the system.
Heres an example from my phone currently of the new registry entry
http://g0.gstatic.com/images/icons/o...ycloudy-40.gif
which produces
There is also one with a resolution of 64x64
anyway...
Thanks to an original idea adopted by Kuifje_tl I have for the multi theme only used the curcondition to produce a new theme relative icon.
I did try to use the full http path just to see of it would pull the icon in but sadly not
So please can you download this latest version and report back if this works, also please report any curcondition text that does not produce an icon or I have interpreted incorrectly before I apply this to the other colour sets.

Realize weather icons from oscarbum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3032867&postcount=24
[UPDATE] Added neon weather icons to neon.zip file (adapted from original Vito icons)
[UPDATE] See post #59 for extra Neon icons in a dll file. They can be used by calling them in a .lnk file as described elsewhere in this forum.
Briefly, you make a txt file and the syntax would be, for instance:
81#"\Storage Card\Program Files\CorePlayer\player.exe"?\Storage Card\My_icons.dll,-20
where the number 20 is the icon index in the dll file. I've also attached in post #59 a png file showing the icon index number for all of the icons in the dll file.
Best of luck
Great, thank you!
That's funny. I've been working on a new theme for WAD2 using this set and it didn't occur to me to use it for WF. Nice work.
Amazing Work! Thanks
For me, THE best skin for winterface... great job, and thanks for sharing
Posted the various links for WF themes here on xda-devs...
...at blog.iwindowsmobile.com
and the moderators keep removing them.
I wonder why :-/
i think they still see skinning as hacking. but then what do they expect if they don't offer alternative themes themselves? even though the software is pretty good, many people won't buy it because of the oppressive look of the UI.
people want a constant theme running through their whole device and application UI, or they want to be able to tweak things to their satisfaction
*more people will buy the software*
hope someone from Vito reads this.
i love it man vito/iwindows should allow open skins for this it makes it more attractive...and i was think (maybe its too ipone-ish but) they should lock the bottom bar and allow us to put our most used apps/settings/contax etc there just a thought but im addin this new skin to the collection
Great! Thanx friend!
thanks for all. I like it. I love the VITO Interface but now it has a very very good look and beautiful colors...
Thanks a lot...
Just for a laugh...
...some hand-drawn icons added to first post
nice, nice... thanxx man
Nice, thanks dave
If you ever decide to do another Winterface theme...
Here's some things I've found that might save you some time....
1. Don't do a calendar icon. Winterface replaces it with the background icon in the black file and puts the date on it.
2. Don't do a clock icon. Same reason.
3. Also, the weather icon in the icons file is no longer used. It pulls the info from the weather icons.bmp.
4. On my phone anyway, Winterface doesn't use the calculator icon. Kind of an odd glitch.
5. I don't use bluetooth, so I don't know for sure, but unless the plain bluetooth icon opens bluetooth explorer, doing all three icons is pointless too.
6. This next point actually adds time, but I noticed you did not do anything with the top row contact icon. It is skinnable, you just need to make sure you do EXACTLY the same thing to the contact icon in black.bmp.
Great job, as always. I hope to be back working on more icons soon as well once I finished my Blackberry Bold theme for WAD2.
Another theme
Here's one I threw together this morning. (Are we nearing the point of simply having a Winterface theme thread?)
I don't know if I've posted the weather icons before but it goes well with the realize theme.
oscarbum said:

1. Don't do a calendar icon. Winterface replaces it with the background icon in the black file and puts the date on it.
Although I think it does use this icon if your default calendar app is not the standard Windows one. One way of working is to have your appointments shown on S2U2 as you unlock and use a better calendar such as Thumbcal as standard
2. Don't do a clock icon. Same reason.
3. Also, the weather icon in the icons file is no longer used. It pulls the info from the weather icons.bmp.
That's another ton of work I have to do :-(
4. On my phone anyway, Winterface doesn't use the calculator icon. Kind of an odd glitch.
Mine neither, but I figured that's because I dono't use the standard calculator
5. I don't use bluetooth, so I don't know for sure, but unless the plain bluetooth icon opens bluetooth explorer, doing all three icons is pointless too.
Yes, the plain one opens Bluetooth settings
6. This next point actually adds time, but I noticed you did not do anything with the top row contact icon. It is skinnable, you just need to make sure you do EXACTLY the same thing to the contact icon in black.bmp.
I thought the very same thing this morning. My upcoming theme will change this icon as well
Great job, as always. I hope to be back working on more icons soon as well once I finished my Blackberry Bold theme for WAD2.

Should be able to post another here in a day or so, depending on whether I take on the buttons and the weather icons as well!
Good work and thanks for the tips
well i notice the slide to unlock image (lock) is messed up. also, there are pink dots on bottom left and right of bluetooth icon.
other than that they're amazing. thanks for the icons.
we are also waiting your last theme with realize icons,oscarbum.
thank you both.
is anyone else having this issue.. it's also noticed when i move icons around and when one icon goes over another, it has parts of the icon that is transparent and that's how the lock looks when it appears. this is vga supported, right? i have touch pro.
Yes, I think that's the messed up lock icon that was mentioned
on another note though, I can' get the contact pictures to work if I change any of the contact icons as you said oscarbum.
I've tried changing the two in black.bmp and the one in icons.bmp in every combination and it doesn't work.
The pictures need to work in three places in the theme:
When you view you contacts ready to dial
When you select the contact to bring up details
When you add a contact.
There is no combination of changed icons (all identical) that works.
I have released a public beta version of my new Throttle Launcher theme over at the Throttle Launcher forums HERE
The theme has been created with permission from maxycy and bignadad for the graphics
The theme has been tested on wqvga and vga devices and was created for those with lower powered devices that want to experience that max sense feel.
Before you start using the theme be sure to run through the configuration, go through the theme settings and pay extra special attention to the programs section where you need to specify what programs will be used to perform certain functions. There is also an exes folder included with some goodies already for you, these are provided as is and may not work for every device.
The weather requires you to Download animations which can be stored on your storage card and pointed to from within the config.
When you press any of the taskbar icons you will see a page similar to that in screenshot 4 to exit to the homescreen you can click on the first icon or to return to the page you were on press on any area of the black background.
Please provide detailed feedback of any issues below.
Revision History
0.8 first public beta
0.81 bugfix startbutton issue when in taskbar page
0.85 07/09/2010 facebook and twitter pages have now been replaced by shortcuts to installed executables.
to allow for a speedup of the tablauncher and weather pages I have now incorporated new weather icons stored in iconsweather within the theme - see screenshots here
a few minor tweaks here and there
Very very nice, i have to try that out right away. You make really the best TL themes out there my friend...thanks
Working great everything. I just have some problems changing the default black background, can you help?
go in to throttle config and open the theme settings.
for the i900 you need to have it set like this as there is no accelleration.
i have also included the rendering options as i have them also

After having tested the theme since yesterday i found that it has some problems:
Several times when adding new widgets or when running a program from within TL, Throttle Launcher quits and i have to restart it manually. I use TL as standalone, not as today plugin. I verified other themes but it only happens with this one. As further info. i use TL version 1.1.9
not had that myself, i'm running 1.1.11

I don't know if it is due to the version 1.1.11 that i have installed but now it is stabler and does not quit often.
On the other hand, how do i add shortcuts on the left panel (left arrows on the side of the home icon)? There are shortcuts there but i think they were pulled from the last theme i used, and there is no add button, left and right softkeys are bringing up the config for TL and for the device. In favorites for example there is an add button and there i could add shortcuts without problems.
Thanks for sharing!

You mean the start menu? Then something is wrong, as only 5 programs show up on my device. On my ROM the start menu is "Windows/Menú Inicio/Programas", maybe this is the problem? On the other side who knows where the 5 shortcuts came from... they are installed programs, but i have easy above 50 installed programs.

Yes i see all programs, and for example they show all up in other TL themes.
Another question:
As the facebook and twitter widgets do not work for me i would like to launch facebook.exe and PockeTwit.exe when i tap on the corresponding icon in the tablauncher page. What do i have to change in the xml to make this happen? I tried to modify the config.xml but now only a blank page opens. I also tried to modify the facebook.xml and the twitter.xml, but that also did not work. I am sure i am doing something wrong, but i don't know what. If you point me to what to change i might get it to work.
Thanks
I am discontinuing work on this theme. Its too glitchy and documentation is horrid and I cannot find a cause or solution to the crashing when SMS and email messages are deleted (and sometimes when they are received too).
I don't see any way for me to isolate and resolve the problem and w/o that working properly, this theme is useless IMHO.
If anyone wants to download the modules as they are and take the work further, have at it with my blessing.
I will be upgraded to Windows Phone 7 as soon as they have a usable IM client that can connect to AIM.
These are tweaks, widgets, and enhancements that I have made or compiled for use with the Windows Phone 7 v.2 Theme for ThrottleLauncher by Fireslave.
You can check out the original theme and required files here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859799
I have many more widgets, tweaks, and other modifications planned out and I will update this thread as I have time to work on them (see post 5 for the current To Do list).
I would love getting some feedback on these changes and suggestions for further improvements I could make or new widgets that I could add so let me know if you've got an idea for something that would improve this great theme.

I am still trying to figure out why TL crashes when SMS and emails are deleted (sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't). Unfortunately I have had no luck. So if anyone can please help figure out what it is and pass that information along I would greatly appreciate it. I have tried email mods made by other users but theirs have the same problem.
New / Customized Widgets
MODs / Widgets sourced from other authors:
Clock Widget - This is derived from the clock widget from HeadHunter2009's SenseUI mods for this theme (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880727). It displays the time and battery status and takes you to the Time/Alarms screen when pressed.
Mail Widget - This is derived from the email widget by pth6 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9580766&postcount=43). For a description of what this mod does see post 2 above.
Mail Widget Settings - This is derived from the email widget settings provided by defante (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924182). It allows you to set the max number of emails displayed.

I have added a nicer styled header, tweaked the page to work with my notification bar mod (see post 2 for more details on my notification bar mod), and moved the 'Tap here to free memory' button to the bottom of the page with the icon showing and its background the same as other bottom of screen menu items and I've increased the size of the fonts for program titles. For more info and screenshots of what this mod does see post 2 above.
Weather Widget - This is derived from the Weather widget by pth6 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9580766&postcount=43). This modification implements the colorful icons provided by DavidinCT (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10002636&postcount=281) and adjusts formatting a bit.

FAQ
FAQs:
1)
Q = I can't find the ThrottleLauncher settings! What did you do?!?
A = From the home page, open the bottom menu bar, click the 4th icon (gear), this brings you to the Setting screen, go to the last option on the General page.
2)
Q = Everytime I load the theme ThrottleLauncher crashes and I can't use it. What happened?
A = This is common from what I can tell. Just uninstall ThrottleLauncher from Remove Programs, make sure your ThrottleLauncher folder is completely gone. Then, reinstall ThrottleLauncher. Install FireSlave's WP7 theme (COPY THE FILES FROM YOUR PC TO THE DEVICE MEMORY, DO NOT STORE IT ON THE SD CARD), then apply my mods, configure ThrottleLauncher, reboot your phone and then customize your home page.
3)
Q = You took away my hard coded shortcuts from the top of the Programs list! You bastard! Give them back!!
A = Yes, I did remove those hard coded links but you can now click on the + symbol (top right corner) on the Programs page and choose your own list of favorite shortcuts to have at the top of the list.
4)
Q = The 1st spot for a picture to appear on the 1st page of Pictures is always blank.
A = I'm not sure why this is happening just yet but I am working to resolve it. All of your pictures will show up, but the 1st spot of the 1st page is not being filled for some reason. If anyone can shed some light, please let me know.
5)
Q = Did you write this theme or the widgets you include?
A = No. Fireslave made the theme and many other users have made some of the great hubs/mods/tiles that I then proceeded to modify to suit my needs and fix bugs that I've found. I have provided links and proper credit to the original authors in the 1st and 3rd posts. If you find that I missed someone or something, please PM me so I can make it right.
6)
Q = What if I take one of your MODs and improve it, fix a bug, or tweak it a little? How can I share this with everyone?
A = The ideal way would be for you to PM me about it so I can incorporate it (I may or may not do this depending on if I like your MOD and find it stable to use) and add a post to this forum to let other users know about it.
7)
Q = OOOOHH OOOHHH, I have an idea, it's a good one! Do it! Do it now!
A = If you've got an idea for another MOD, widget, or way to improve what I've already done, PM me about it, I love getting feedback. I may or may not like your idea so don't be hurt if I don't run with it, but in most cases I'm happy to provide something you'll find useful.
8)
Q = ThrottleLauncher crashes sometimes when I delete SMS or email messages.
A = I am still trying to figure out why TL crashes when SMS and emails are deleted (sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't). Unfortunately I have had no luck. So if anyone can please help figure out what it is and pass that information along I would greatly appreciate it. I have tried email mods made by other users but theirs have the same problem.
To Do List
TO DO:
People Page:
1) Make the add/remove favorite toolbar only visible on the 1st page or change the toolbar's items depending on what page is being viewed.
Pictures Page:
1) Add new 1st page for Tasks with 'take a picture', 'make a video', 'open album viewer', or 'open MYPHOTOSITEHERE.COM' (replacing MYPHOTOSITEHERE.COM with whatever description is entered for a web url that will trigger the default browser to that page). The 2nd page will list the photo thumbnails as it currently does.
2) Fix problem when viewing pictures, the 1st picture spot is empty (but only on the first page)
Programs page:
1) Add top, bottom, page up and page down functionality to easily navigate large programs list
General:
1) Show next appointment on Clock widget
2) Isolate and resolve cause of random shutdowns of ThrottleLauncher (especially noticeable when deleting text messages and emails)
I am still trying to figure out why TL crashes when SMS and emails are deleted (sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't). Unfortunately I have had no luck. So if anyone can please help figure out what it is and pass that information along I would greatly appreciate it. I have tried email mods made by other users but theirs have the same problem.
People, email, and SMS mods updated and full widget and mod pack uploaded. See posts 2 and 3 for details and downloads.
so do i just copy the contents of the zip into the fireslaves theme folder
in regarding your email mod, where do i install the image folder, within the wp7mail folder, or within the setup folder ...

He seems to have formated it for just extract and dump.... Pretty easy over all
Extract the files in a folder on your harddrive.
Connect your phone to PC
Open Windows explorer
Browse your deivce to
Program files\Throttlelauncher\Setups\Windowsphone7_2\
Copy the files/folders that you extracted right into that folder.
When asked, select overwrite and merge folders.
Restart throttle launcher on your phone to see the changes
on your first screen shots, you have a chat and a facebook tile/hub, how did you go about doing that, the closest thing i did was create a shortcut tile for facebook, but the icon is really small

Hi
this is a very good job thanks
Really great stuff
It actually got the weather app working for me as well
I'm excited to see what you do with the SMS and E-mail hubs
The only problem that I'm having is with the WM Taskbar. It seems it's too large and moves the whole theme down just a bit, so I'm unable to tap on the three dot icon for the settings.
If theres a way I could revert to the WP7 Theme taskbar that would be perfect
Hi

I found a Metro style icon pack (forget where) and created a shortcut tile to the Facebook app and then editing the widget.xml file to set the custom icon. There is also a Facebook WM7 styled page that is available but I've had some issues with it that I'm trying to resolve before posting.
After a lot of work and testing Lacuna 3.0 by myself and Trekfan is reborn as Lacuna 42.
You can view a video review of the theme by actionboy here
This theme is released as is, there will be no significant updates to it following this release.
I will however offer a service whereby if you are willing to make a donation I will help tailor the theme to suit you, changing layout, adding additional weather detail, adding additional pages etc.
I have given up a lot of time to produce this theme following its original concept by trekfan who has gone the way of the little green robot so if you like my work and cannot donate at least please say thankyou so I know my work is appreciated and I will continue to come up with new ideas for as long as there is a need.
This Throttle Launcher theme requires version 1.2.1 to be installed and supports full screen 480x800 wallpaper in jpg format.
The homepage from top to bottom features :
a hideable interactive taskbar.
to activate/hide press on the battery icon.
you can toggle the bluetooth wifi and sound profile from the taskbar by just pressing them.
two sizes of clock accessible from the throttle config window.
next appointment accessible by pressing on the clock itself.
the blue icon to the right of the clock is programable
you can assign any quick launch app to through throttle config
notifications for new texts missed calls and emails
current weather condition icon complete with temp and location
app launcher page activated by pressing the icon in the bottom right when on the homepage
The friends page starts with your favourite contacts followed by and add and remove option followed by a full list of all remaining contacts.
The text page shows the last 20 messages recieved with the newest at the top.
The messages page shows similar for a specified email account.
CHANGELOG :
03 June 2011 :
Due to Google screwing with their weather api I have had to modify the theme to use the current condition text instead of the originally numbered icons from the registry. There are several new conditions for which I do not have icons so I have for now recycled existing ones. When a fuller set is made available I will update again.
Please download and enjoy.
The below screenshots will show you in detail what can be changed in the theme via throttle config.
Screen 08 & 09 show the default programs catagorised under Objects.
The majority of settings don't really need any explanation
the clock size is either normal or large
If you change the default sms app from tmail please untick sms default
do not change sms param as this is required by ther program
only one mail account is used in the theme so ensure only one is selected
Screen 10 Weather
Here you can specify the location
units in centigrade or fahrenheit
autoupdate if required should be ticked
if autoupdate is required please provide a period in minutes for the update to be performed
Screen 11 Background / Text
The select path option is used to specify wallpaper.
There is an initial choice of two dark and one light background in the default folder where the theme is installed.
The Background colour is used to specify either lgiht or dark by selecting
0 for dark or
255 for light
The font colour should then be set to the opposite.
under no circunstances should you change anything in the section Here Be Monsters as it will cause the theme to break.
This post is reserved for additional tips tricks patches and updates.
Did u watch on my wallpaper i posted you? I think this is TL problem, but in other devices it is not problem, si idk. I just have to use the one color wallpaper.
Anyway, i love Lacuna
I thought I had replied to you on the development thread, it is the same for me and I cannot understand why when other more complex wallpapers I have used since all work fine. It is something odd with the blending between the black and blue?
And thankyou for your kind comments
I tried blend between the red -black, but there are stripes too, anyway, i found nice wallpaper and it made lacuna more awesome for me So stripes aren't problems for me anymore . (I finally see the top bar transparent )
But, if I wanna let this theme on mobile, it should be more "settings friendly". What I mean? I mean, if I want connect to net via wifi, and in my location isn't only one wifi signal, i have to go to menu, scroll down to windows/samsung setings and there i can connect wifi where I want. So, what about do it like this: If u touch wifi on/off in top bar, it will be on/off wifi, but if u hold that icon for a while, it will launch wifi settings . Do I want a much? I know, it have to be usable on every phone, but owners can redirect it to their own locations (i mean the scripts)
I know I am annoying
Your not, your request is valid but there is no long press in TL see here.
I could change things so it will either toggle or open an action but that would require a major rewrite
Hello,
Have anyway to put an youtube video about this theme?
Thanks.
I dont have a way of recording it myself no but if there is anyone that can please PM me and I will send you my email address so you can send me the video to upload.
nice theme
love the theme, so sick.. but when you go to send a text and have to deploy the keyboard, TL always has to reset! major flaw cause some of the TL themes are so cool, just NO stability
Sorry to hear that, I wouldnt be using TL if it did that myself.
Are you using the latest version 1.2.1 from within the TL forums?
Also are you using the theme as a today plugin?
If you are try disabling it and running as standalone.
Of course, it could just be an issue with the rom you have been using if all the above is correct.
yes 1.2.1... and if i use it as a today plugin, it has to restart, and if i use it as a standalone, the "unnexpected error please try running again" pops up
hmmm? hardware acceleration disabled?
no, it just doesnt want to go in landscape mode, i have a TP2...
This is a portrait only theme and if hardware acceleration is enabled, try disabling. It isnt needed for this theme anyway
no i know its a portrait only theme, just when i go to slide my phone keyboard out to text, it puts my text program into landscape cause it has to, then i send and close the keyboard then exit out of the text program to find its restarting.. i even tried messing with the regedit to make my phone never go into landscape mode, but its a pain and no fun and eventually fails
I used to have a wizard and a kaiser and this didnt happen on either device when the keyboard was deployed. This is either a rom or phone specific issue. Afraid I can't help with that sorry.
yeah no its all good... there needs to be a way where there really isnt a landscape mode it just projects on the landscape screen the same way it would on the portrait way, it would look CRAPPY but still be able for you to do it...
and like this theme and the wp7 v2 fireslave, its cool cause of the seperate messaging hubs, i like that ALOT! and CHT doesnt really have that, and im trying to get someone to make that.. i cant code anything or do all that jazz
That is actually a good idea, creating the default landscape pages using the same code as it would stop it from crapping up when people use autorotate.
looks like there may well be a v2 coming soon

hi, can you explain how to install this theme, becouse I have installed the program but i don't know where i have to put the files thanks
Hello Guys!
I tried making a Sword Art Online Widget Interface on my HTC Incredible S running on ICS.
preview is attached below. i cant post any links since im new sorry for the inconvenience
2 main applications I used:
Apex Launcher: available on google play
Glaeja : available on google play.
*Apex Launcher works for ICS and Jelly Bean only i think
I recommend installing Apex Launcher first
Apex Launcher setup after installation:
(Not sure this will work though, since settings are from my phone)
1. Download all the attached files with apex on it. Copy on sdcard. (extract zipped files)
2. Move apex_settings.bak to /sdcard/Android/data/apexlauncher/
3. Open apex settings and go to backup and restore
4. Select restore.
Glaeja Setup after installation:
1. Create New Widgets on Home Screen. 1 4x1 Glaeja Widget for the hpbatterybar and 2 3x3 Glaeja Widgets for the bars.
2. Download the skins, images and font files and paste them to the corresponding folders found in /sdcard/com.gmail.kanitawa.glaeja/
3.Select the widgets on HomeScreen and click Load Skin, select the corresponding skin file.
4. Select None on the On Click option.
Notes:
Apex:
-Key Settings:
Number of Screens = 3
Transition Effect = None
Use Tablet UI Mode = unchecked
Minimum Scrolling Time = 2
Show Wallpaper = checked, Mode = Singlescreen
Glaeja:
-For the Name on HP bar just edit widget and then find the corresponding text with Shawn on it. Edit the Display Text. same goes for LV: __
-For Shortcuts of the bar, the shortcuts can be replaced on the Transparent Buttons found on the bar widgets.
There is also a video showing my work on youtube, it has poor quality but it satisfies it purpose. (again sorry for not being able to post links since im new)
Thanks guys! And I hope some people find this post helpful. Comments will be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE:
Uploaded missing file manager icon

Thank you so much for this. It's really great. Took a while but I managed to get it to work with 7 screens to make more like in the Series.
Finally someone is trying to create a nice theme. Props.
OMG I LOVE SAO!
I would love to give this theme a go!
Could you please make a Nova compatible version??

How did you get the Apex buttons to open different Glaeja widget menus,as well as change to the yellow one when clicked? Or did you just make it look that way. Running on SGS3 with CM10.

Help
How exactly do you do all that you did to make it look the way it did in the images. I am completely lost in terms of what to do... I don't really know how to make anything come out as it should and after about an hour of messing around with everything I gave up on trying to figure out from the directions that were given... Can I get a step-by-step instruction as to how you set it up? thanks
Hey! Your SOA theme looks really amazing! I tried to set it up, but my apexlauncher wasn`t in the SC card?? Is there a different way to insert the settings into apex launcher?
Yea your instructions dont really help at all. Even had to create the folder for the apexlauncher but i somehow think that the settings backup didnt do anything at all. An howto would be very appreciated since it does look very good.

Just a heads up. You can use any images for the icons, any images for the widgets/text/etc. Once you grasp what is happening and put a lot of time into it, your imagination is the limit.
I'll try to explain what is happening here, that I see. I have a similar "tabbed' style setup on my tablet. I'm using Nova and a quick one button tutorial you can easily do to see what is happening goes as so...
1. Press and hold blank spot on screen, press Nova actions, then press jump to page, and select page 2 (this will be 2nd from the far left of your setup, adjust accordingly). Now you will have an icon on your screen.
2. Press and hold the icon, select edit and you can replace the icon with any image you see fit. Now you have your "button". For example sake, lets say you have an icon/text that you want to have media stuff brought up.
3. Now on page 2, which should be blank (no icon), you will want to make the same 'jump to page icon' again, this time in a color of your choice, so that it looks "selected." Obviously this means you will have to edit/color your image/text as you see fit. I colored my "media" icon text, the color blue for example.
4. Next up, now that you have a colored icon on screen 2, making it look selected, is to fill up screen 2 with media stuff. You can use the images he uses, or just widgets already in your phone, or the above glaeja app that looks like it can be useful here. Your widget can be text that has click actions, that open up apps etc. It looks like the OP has placed the arrow icon on this page as well as to give it more of a this is what you selected look. The options are endless.
So then you just repeat that process with icons on screen #1 that jump to the other pages of you phone, that have been edited to have the content on them you're going for. It's painstaking, but hopefully I've made a visual for you that sheds light on what is going on and once you grasp that, you can make anything.
Very creative work by the OP here, just wanted to share my thoughts for the last couple posters that are having a hard time. I can make a tutorial if necessary. :good:

Essentially, you are going to create all of your screens to have the 5 "button" vertical layout (or however you want it to be, 4 buttons, 8, etc). Your main screen, they will be all white it color (again whatever color you choose) and swipe one screen to right, have the same 5 buttons vertical, but the one icon you want to make look "selected" have it yellow, in this instance and also on that screen would be the corresponding widget with the images and icons/text you want to look like it opened. How this works it when setting launcher to no scroll on wallpaper, and setting the button as a widget action to turn to page '2', it flings the screens to screen 2, where one icon is "selected" and there is different content on the screen (the widget, ie looking like it opened a menu). search on youtube for tabbed setup for android and you'll see setups alike.
