I think there may be something like this for windows phones? Anyway, would really like a little analog clock in the status bar instead of the digital readout. It's actually nice to know the time when surfing the web, tweeting, etc. but the digital clock is out of place with a circle status bar icon theme. I've attached a picture to help with the visual.
Anybody interested in making this I would be willing to donate my time and/or money in helping to make this possible. May involve making a million .png files, but I do not know. Would like to see if there is any other interest in this/if it's even a possibility (I have not seen anything). I think It would look pretty slick!

Agreed. That would look nice. I think it would take a bit of coding though. Over my head. Those round icons do look nice. Where did you get those from?
the Ultimate Online Theming Kitchen. just google it, it should come up as the first hit. Pretty awesome kitchen and super easy to use.
something like this should be possible:
lower the clock font, and put those brackets on the titlebar background. I would change the batt icon too. standard measure would be easiest. you still have exact percentage on desktop.
that does look pretty good, thanks for putting that together. Deff gonna mod the batt like that.
My request still stands though, I want a 2 hands turning circles in the top right corner!

I was wondering how to disable displaying the program name on the taskbar - is there a registry tweak for this?
It's just a cosmetic thing, i would rather see the taskbar clean with just the icons and time instead of having the current running program's name on it.
Any solution?
The closest I've come is by using something like Tweaks2k2 to change the Start-bar font color. So using something like Vicott's great UI Tweaker app, I change my top/bottom bars to all black, then change the font-color to black too.
That will "hide" the program title but, as a side effect it also changes the Time font color. Your signal bars, data connection, battery are untouched though.
It's simple, elegant and my choice for doing things, but like I said you loose the clock. Also, matching the exact colors to the top/bottom bars can be tedious if you don't know their exact color codes, if you do you're all set.

It looks really nice, the way you have done your layout - I like it a lot. I tried changing the colour of the text, but the thing is, I don't wanna loose the WM6 bars - and I am not able to find the matching colour while keeping the "glass" look. But thanks for the advice
If you don't want to lose the clock, you can use analogic clock instead of digital clock (long click over clock to change it)
Thread will be moved to Q&A
Goes behind an overlaid clock to give an approximation of the second hand. Both files are tuned to take 1second per "tick". Note, on the second one, there are two flashes then a pause, like a heart, which makes the second so it is a bit hard to catch the rhythm at first (yeah I should redo that one prolly). Sofar the only program that really likes them is S2U2.
Very simple, nothing special. Not perfectly symmetrical, I just drew it by hand in GIMP with the fuzzy brush tool. Were much sharper / smoother but optimized for much smaller file size. Anywho, if anyone else was looking for a Gif Secondhand for an overlaid clock and can stand my sense of style (looks good in S2u2 IMO), here yah go.

I am not "happy" with the clock hands, but I'm at work and the only program I have to work with is GIMP. Maybe I can make them look better in photoshop.

-Yes I know they spin in reverse, I have a strange sense of aesthetics
man, you must have been bored
nice though,kinda hypnotising
If you are using S2U2 you can use the Analog clock option and use drop this file in place of the regular clock face to center the hands on the animation. I didn't even think about it when I was making it but apparently the small dots and the corner dots make the hours of a clock lol. I need to make some better hands for this but I will have to do that tommorow when I have time.
I'm havin fun lol piddling with this stuff.

I had been trying to get the GTX Slider (only the slider). I've done research and I had also tried doing it myself for the past 3 days but I'm still progress-less. However, on the bright side, I've been learning how to work around manila files (although with a very noobish skill).
Please help me! For I've been desperate. I think I've done my share on XDA's rule of learning how to search first and trying to work it out.
As mentioned, I've been trying to get the whole look of the GTX Slider, while keeping other Manila themes stocked/customized such as the clock etc.
I've also found this thread called GTX Perfection Slider. It's a GREAT help toward my goal. The only thing missing is that white background on the slider And that's the only part that I had been trying to work around with.
Here's a screen shot that I took a few days ago with GTX Perfection Slider:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It's just too dark and it doesn't look all that good.
Using Manila Editor, I tried to locate the name of the file from GTX 1.7.1. I thought I succeeded, copied it (because it looked similar) and pasted it on /Windows on my mobile and I'm still getting nowhere.
The file name I thought it would be was "014758a9_manila".
Can anyone of you help me put a period on my problem? I'm desperately trying I'm pretty sure many people would like this slider though. It's simple, elegant and very easy to the eye.
Thanks in advance.
The cab to make that transparent is already available. Check out Smaberg's stickied post and look for TouchX Transparent Bottom Curtain. If you want to make it a different color (and not transparent) then simply edit the manila file to your liking.
Hey everyone just wanted to share my 2nd battery replacement.
**BEFORE FLASHING, Backup using Nandroid backup. I am not responsible for any damage to your phone. This will also replace any current "custom" icons on taskbar (not transparency if you have that) trying to figure out MetaMorph so i doesn't replace anything but the battery. Until then, this will have to do. >.<**

Also replaced the low battery image with my own. I always thought it looked weird... talk about picky. I think it looks better.

- With Border
Tell me what you think.
It looks pretty good, i'm impressed
I like it.
Downloading now and thank you!
Very nice!!!!!
Looks nice, man. Why did you choose purple? Just asking because I'm curious.
Definitely Nice
Thanks for sharing Novafox! Very nice work. Any chance you could reproduce with vertical bars matching the signal strength meter? ie Exactly like you have everything else just instead of one colored blob, add some black space to create a meter like the signal level.
Anyway, thanks again, this is very cool. About to install...
J
very nice !! tyvm
good work homie..... thx
where can i get that browser your running
Thanks everyone. I do have more ideas, just takes a little bit of time to "perfect them" to liking.

I believe it was SkyFire
I'm kinda curious to see how a Google TV-like theme would look on CM6.1 -- I think it'd look awesome and Gingerbread probably has some similarities so it'd be a good theme to hold some of us over 'till CM gets to it. I'm pretty good at the graphic design thing but am always loaded with work so I usually start something on my free time and never finish...
Anyway, what I'm thinking is that I could make all the graphics files, I'd then pass it on to some one who can adjust the XML (pretty much only changing black text to white). I've done some detailed XML (spacing, color, etc) stuff before but it'd just give me a headache to go back into (trying to fix Sense's complete and utter fail at design does that to you...). I want to finish this over the weekend so it'd have to be someone who has experience and knowledge of a lot of the XML values (menus, pop ups, status bar, etc). If anyone is able and interested, just leave a reply.
The theme itself should be pretty easy to make, it'd look stock but dark w/ blue glow-ish highlights. For examples:
{
"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_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Some examples of my Android-y work to judge if its worth helping me:
Complete radio app remake. Will probably release soon.
Swype, part of a Sense face lift theme I was making before I moved to CM.
Just the dock and icons.
There is already an alternate themed skype found in tmobile's mytouch4g using a variant of htc sense. Although nice work there : )
