Hi guys.
For last few nights was trying to change ugliest part of my lovely HTC touch pro - landscape menu - into somethink a little bit more eye-catching.
Its quite sad, that in factory standard Raphael, after sliding keyboard off, all you can see is some kind of retarded kids graphic design. So i decided to give it a go.
Effect is quite promising (i hope so), so i share it with you, and in few days I should come up with complete project - home screen, all the menus, landscape menu, background, font and even matching sounds.
My project codename is Greeeenplastic
here is the screenshot:
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I hope you will like it and check this thread for more forthcoming graphic goodies.
And, of course, if you like it, please buy me some coffee , so i can work harder
how to make it work:
1. download Greeeenplastic01.zip to your device
2. disable TouchFlo (Settings - Today -Items - untick TouchFlo3D)
3. open Greeeenplastic01.zip using file explorer, and choose menu/action/extract. untick "apply path", tick on "overwrite existing files", choose "windows" folder as a destination.
4. Enable TouchFlo3D again (Settings - Today -Items - tick TouchFlo3D)
5. Slide open keyboard, and enjoy
Any comments welcome!
wow those look real awesome. one of the first things il try once i get the fuze
any chance you can make the colors look more like these?

Cool! Confirmed working well in WM6.1 mwang (DFT) Universal VGA device. Suits well SnapVUE users who practically doesn't have the Today Screen occupied by SnapVUE.
Color selection screen on setup expands outside the screen preventing selection of other colors or adjusting the hue slider (if there's any, just guessing coz I don't see it). But, that's no big deal just would like you to know. Probably coz Universal is a VGA device.
Thanks a lot, Ariel would be proud to have a cool parent like you!

This is truly excellent - thank you.

If you 'click and hold' on the title bar area, you can drag the screen to see the rest of it. HTH

Thanks phil.cooke. Accidentally stumbled on the solution yesterday after I swiveled the screen in portrait mode, the color selection occupied 3/4th of the screen & found out that color selection window can be drag anywhere in the screen!
Been using it since installed & love it! Thanks again buddy!

Is it from a new version of TouchFlo?
I really like the 3 "add Shortcut" icons, maybe there is a cab, to get it to work like that.

This is the new Manila 2.5. It is very buggy so far (atleast on VGA).

Well my friend if you like shortcuts...may be you consider SPB mobile shell 3.01....
YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE IT THE WAY YOU WANT IT, PLACING THE SHORTCUTS THAT YOU NEED AND USE MOSTLY. THE CHOICES ARE ENDLESS...LOOK INTO IT , YOU WOULD NEVER GO BACK TO MANILLA...BELIEVE ME!!!
here is my home page on it shortcuts that i use all the time including my 2 preferred contacts
and by the way that my baby Kiara
Looking nice
But i haved tried mobile shell, it´s ok, but i more like touch flo.
So i hope to find a program or tweak there can do it.
You might want to take a look at this ROM:
[14 Aug][WWE] udK Leo R1 WM6.5 - Build 21840.5.0.60 - Base v2.08 - Hero UI Manila 2.6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524224
I've been using it and it's fantastic. You have the shortcuts (actually you scroll it, so instead of just 3 you have 9). Other details in this ROM make it a great experience. I don't feel like going back to 6.1 after using it, still needs some bugs to be fixed, but you can give it a try.
I use the shortcuts for:
1- Enabling Bluetooth (CicleBT)
2- Toggle Wifi On/Off
3- Gmail shortcut
Hope this helps you
It's 2.5....

You realise of course that getting this home screen involves first Hard SPL for your phone and then flashing the new ROM. Tom Codon has a 2.5 ROM that is not particularly buggy - I find it fine for day to day use you can find it at http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=274
1st
Install Active Sync on your Personal Computer and use it to backup your phone.
2nd
Start Menu -> Settings -> Today, 2nd tab
Disable TF3D (ignore the warning)
Enable date and other 'Today-Screen-PlugIns'

And ofcourse the Theme allblack.tsk
(unzip and copy to Windows Directory) Start Menu -> Settings -> Today, 1st tab
i don't usually do this, but i'm going to give you my opinion on that today screen:
- MESSY
- you need to use a stylus for those little icons
- you have softkey buttons "5678" THEN "1234" ...why?
Personally, i believe the Diamond 2 is "new age" enough to use a bit of eye candy.
My first PPC (iMate Pocket PC) had a "prettier" look that this.
Sorry for the negative critique :/
do you realy like this screen?
I do like it for the moment LOL
You must know that TMobiel statically 'froze' manilla on my Topaz cq making it nearly impossible to alter it in any way! It is a horrible interface. I didn't even bother to make a screenshot(!), because after 2 and a half hours I deactivated TF3D, took the stylus out and never looked back.
Now and than I do switch to different today plugins and must admit that tdLaunchY has kinda tiny icons <g>
Well I'll give Easy Today Launcher a try. It has more of a finger friendly look

have you not considered flashing a new ROM onto your device? that way you could do what you want! (trust me, TF3D is GREAT when it runs smoothly!)
good luck (if you're worried about flashing a cooked ROM, you can gladly PM me, it's easy)
I also do not use TF3D or ... I use SPB pocket plus and some nice today plugins and base today may also look nice. .. all aplication I use are one or max two click without stylus!!! ...and make changes is quite simple. The system responds and works quickly ... I have a phone for work and efficiency and speed control is important to me than a complicated adjustable slow TF3D.
Hi all and many thanks for all the great themes out there,
couple of questions have been googling all night but cant find what i'm looking for.
1. I would like to have the time in digital and the weather on the same line so its smaller.
2. remove the words calendar, the alarm and the date, if possible, basicaly declutter the screen.
also is it possible to remove the hotkeys at the bottom but when slide the screen up they all apear again, at the moment i am using the 20 quick key cab, dose any of this make sense lol.
if not will take a screen pic and show you.
Thanks all.
Steve

I've tried many different browsers with greyscale, inverting, and night modes. But this browser is the first I've ever seen do a clear transparent version before. I've checked all my websites and they all look amazing.
If you like blacked out and clear apps I suggest you check it out.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.UCMobile.intl
Here is how I make mine look blacked out.
1: get a completely black image, picture, or screenshot.
2: in the browsers theme section set the image you want as the wallpaper.
3: set the background to transparent

Brilliant find, really. Thank you for the tip!
Thanks for the tip.
I've done limited testing so far (did not even figure out how to set trans bg yet...), but while first looking into this on the market, I noticed that there was a mini UC Browser as well. I ended up spending more time on it than their full one.
A couple observations on Mini:
- good UI, but I do have to press my menu soft button twice every time in order to get to the opened tabs icon...;
-less options but also less "clogware" (or just stuff I don't need really);
- night mode a bit "lightish" in shade, but very good since it doesn't affect (invert) pics as Lightning (a similar) browser would;
- use fewer processes/services and about 5 times less RAM than the full version (and app itself is 10x smaller);
- could find a setting to easily switch between desktop/mobile and it seems like page zooming is not really possible... But layout seems always pretty good;
- nice touches like: top/bottom quick btns, bw saving/compression, 3 file downloads at once, auto-reconnect/resume dl (although this is marketing talk cause some site do not allow pause or resume...);
- more to discover..
And hopefully, we'll be able to theme bgs and text colors a little... I'll look into this tomorrow; can't wait... hehe!
Thx again, cheers!
Does UC support flash by now ? Did one of you try UC sync available for chrome desktop to sync tabs .... ?
That's great I love this one
