Hi, nice tweak especially lockscreen features. Can you post a link to your main icon set (the one used for the quicklinks on the first screenshot) please.
Hi!
Installed only two cabs with notifies, made soft reset.... nothing changed. How should I make them work?
What do you mean under "overwrite" ?
Thanx!

Er, how do you enable this ++?
I installed CHT and its editor, then installed this Advanced Home Tab 2.2.3, but nothing changed and I see no new options anywhere.

Hello,
is it possible to setup a Globus (Earth) background picture in my HD2 (with Energy ROM) similar with the IPhone one? It would be great to have it allways as background: in TouchFlo, lock-screen and dialer... Is it possible? If yes, how can I do this (and where to find the corresponding files)?
Thanks in advance!

You can set the background images for anything you want. Where you set them will depend on whether you have a standard Energy ROM or one with CHT (cookies home tab) installed. If it is CHT then it is simple to change all of your wallpapers - press CHT menu softkey and then Set Wallpaper - you'll find options in there for everything.
If you are not on CHT then you set the home tab and lockscreen backgrounds from the Sense settings tab > Personalise, and you set the Start Menu background from Start Menu > Settings > Home then check the 'Use this picture...' box at the bottom of the Appearance tab and press Browse to select your background image.
The dialer isn't so simple but if you ask in lnando84's dialer skins thread I'm sure he'll be able to help.
This is an old thread 21 june 2011 :laugh:. I still use the emulator tiles myself (see second screenshot below) and a few of the others. I have been away from xda for ages and some of the links in this thread died so i have reuploaded them.
My Phone Screenshots [Old]
My Phone Screenshots [New] Some of the game tiles are old but i did create this thread in 2011
maxx228 Phone Screenshots
Ok so a few of my mates / random people who have seen my phones have asked how i got the windows style panels on my phone (see links above to see what im talking about) so i decided to write a quick guide (lol). Most people who call xda home will probably have seen / know how to do this so this guide is obviously not for you
Image Sizes (for making you own)
So to start you will either need to make your own images or download some pre-made ones. The image sizes want to be (if your using an arc/play or any phone with 480x854 screen size) the following;
(all sizes in pixels, the following image sizes will leave about a 10 pixel gap (i think) between your icons)
1x2: 110x282
1x3: 110x428
1x4: 110x574
2x1: 230x136
3x1: 350x136
4x1: 470x136
4x4: 470x574
Large (3x3): 350x428
Middle (2x2): 230x282
Small (1x1): 110x136
Getting Started
Ok so now down to business first off you need either of the following launchers. LauncherPro (the free version is fine), Go Launcher EX or ADW Launcher then you need Desktop VisualizeR once you have installed Desktop VisualizeR and the launcher of your choice you then need to do the following (and only the following).
Launcher Settings
Using Launcher Pro press menu button while on the homescreen then go;
Preferences > Home screen settings > Number of columns (set it to 4)
Preferences > Home screen settings > Number of rows (set it to 5)
Preferences > Home screen settings > Auto-fit items (make sure is ticked)
Using Go Launcher EX press menu button while on the homescreen then go;
Preferences > Screen Settings > Grid Size > Custom Grids > Then set number of rows to 5 and then number of columns to 4.
Using ADW Launcher press menu button while on the homescreen then go;
More > ADW Settings > Screen Preferences > Desktop Columns (Set it to 4)
More > ADW Settings > Screen Preferences > Desktop Rows (Set it to 5)
Adding your first tile
Then on a blank homescreen go to the widgets menu and place the correct size Desktop VisualizeR widget on your desktop (the images you download will be named, email2x1.png or in folders named 1x1, 2x1 e.t.c, so you would add the 1x1 or the 2x1 widget e.t.c).
Now just click the widget box you created on the desktop and then go, select icon > image file > astro (i use astro file manager to navigate to images) then find your correct sized image that matches the Desktop VisualizeR widget on your desktop.
Now click Select Action > Launch Application. And select the app you want your image to open. Once selected click the clear button under the label section (or else you will get crappy text over your image) then finally click ok. Then you should have your first image tile done . All that is left is to figure out the rest of the screens layout. If you scan through the links provided below you can get ideas e.t.c worth a quick scan.
Links
Androidforums Android Phone 7 Theme (See here for a better explanation? / helpful images (note: the image sizes in that thread are wrong for Xplay/Arc) This link is also where i learned / got ideas from
[Collection] ICON SETS | About *630* different Icon Packs icon packs that can be used with desktop visualizer. Just rezise them to the 1x1 sizes above
Correctly sized images for download
All the links below are direct downloads to icons that have been resized (you can see page 2 of this thread for some samples from the packs + credits e.t.c). Just put them on your phone and follow the steps above. Or see the Androidforums link for more detailed explanation + some images to help.

Custom Dock using launcher pro
Put the dock somewhere on your sd card. Press setting button on home screen. Go Preferences > Appearance settings > Dock Background > custom. Then just navigate to the custom dock you want. You can either download one or use the one i use here --> Dock + Icons.zip
You also need to delete all the icons (apart from the app draw one) on the launcher pro dock and replace the app draw icon with the transparent icon i have included in the link above or replace them all with the transparent icon (see the Dock + Icons.zip link above).
You can also do this on GO launcher ex and ADW. Im not sure how since i use launcher pro, google it
Resizing your own images
If you want to resize your own images and dont have / know how to use photoshop i suggest Paint.net it will let you resize the images. Just open the image in paint.net and go (on toolbar) Image > Resize (or ctrl + r) untick the maintain aspect ratio box and put the sizes found at the top of this post. (Note: resizing images will cause the image to loose some quality but if you dont wanna make your own then it will do, cannot tell when its on phone anyways, also if you do it wrong go to Edit > Undo (or Ctrl + Z) do not resize the image more than once or you will get a blurry image)
Or
If you want to batch resize some images/icons you have found you can try this batch resizer FastStone Photo Resizer (thanks for the tip shotgunfool). Just open the images in FastStone Photo Resizer and add images you want to resize to the right panel. On the bottom right panel Tick the "Use Advance Features" box then click the "Advance Options" button. Click on the resize tab, tick the box. Then just untick "Preserve Aspect Ratio" box and put your new desired width x height in the boxs and click ok. Select your output folder then click convert!
Misc
Ive attached below the icons i use on my phone (from the old screenshot @ top link) + a few spares i made but never used aswell as a plain black wallpaper, since i think it works best with a plain black wallpaper but its up to you, enjoy .
Tiles from my phone.zip <--- Link to new icons i added to the pack below (Icons from my phone (Right size for phone).zip) includes the emulator tiles and a few extras (see here for screenshots) The attached zip below does not include the emulator icons just the icons from the old screenshots @ top.
You can either download the icon tiles serperately or download the .zip file from Qooy which has everything from this thread.
All the tiles from this thread + a Read me txt guide + Launcher pro settings backup. I have also fixed the HD Icon Pack 1 + 2 by mikebeecham so no more white corners

When you press home and it asks complete action using there should be a check box that says "use by default for this action". Tap the box to put in a check mark then press your home launcher. You can't delete the Sony one. (well you can but that's advanced stuff)

No, you can switch back whenever.
...and you may get the option more than you think, considering how much the Play force closes stuff.
I found the above guide on another forum a while ago, and it is great.
This is what I did:
{
"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"
}

I tried this before making my own and i think if i remember correctly is only supports 1x1 & 2x1 tiles and had many bugs + kept force closing on me But indeed as you say it gives you a general feel for tiles

The clock widgets (both of them) are SiMi Clock Widget included in the clock widget are battery and weather widgets same as mine
You can delete SE home but i would advise against it. Just see the thread below follow it to gain root and delete the bloat / move the gameloft / pre-installed games to your sd card.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116090
For the twitter icon see attachments below or go to the top post and see the link i added at the bottom for all the images i use on my phone
Never had launcher pro force close on me yet and i rarely get any force closes on the apps / games im using. Maybe on gameloft titles once or twice

As mentioned to can clear the defaults and change it to whatever home launcher you want.

Alright man thanks! Think ill leave removing the bloatware when im better at these things.. heh.
Thanks for the guide, but can i suggest that you add a link in for
http://www.faststone.org/FSResizerDownload.htm
It is a photo resizer, i managed to resize that folder of 300+ photos in under 30 seconds. into 1x2's i plan to make a copy of all then choose which ones in what size i want to make it layout nice on the homescreens.
Oh and i am not promoting or affiliated with that photo resizer, its just the first one that came up when i googled it and it worked so i thought i would just share it
Or if your too lazy to do that,
iv converted them into ever size now and uploaded them.

NOTE: I do not own or take credit for any of these icons, i simply resized them.
Enjoy

First off thanks for the photo resizer i will add it to first post later. Tried it out and it works . Secondly thanks for resizing the icons but unfortunately the sizes for the icons are wrong. I would also suggest just resizing the icons to the new sizes that match the icon in the first post. If you take a 1x1 and make it a 2x2 or 2x1 it will blur the image but its up to the person resizing i supposee. If i get 5 mins i will resize the icons in my first post.
*edit* I think you forgot to untick the preserve aspect ratio box in the photo resizer
