Question to Vijay555 on your today screen

Hi Vijay
You have a very interesting and easy-to-read today screen.
I copied this linked screenshot from one of your posts:
{
"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"
}
Would you mind documenting what theme you are using, where to get it and where you got the PhoneAlarm skin.
Also, would you mind letting us know all the other items that appear on your screen. I have tried searching but to no avail. I have visited your site and not found anything (but that may be a user problem )
Thanks.

I couldn't have said better myself lol!
Also check out the screenshot further down that thread (not quite integrated but I'll explain)
:
The upper screenshot is based on a device running VJToggleToday II to shrink down the start bar (the bar right at the top) to 2pixels and remove the Soft Keys at the bottom.
After that, I'm running PhoneAlarm by Pocketmax, with my skin found also in the VJToggleToday thread, http://www.vijay555.com/vj/FullToday/VJTinyToday.zip
It's designed for use with VJToggleToday so that it replaces/auguments the Start Bar - read that thread for info.
Then I'm running SmallMenu as shown in the lower pic to replace the start button for better access to apps.
Next is AlarmToday by PocketMax - I did do some skinning to it but it's not shown in that shot (well only minor changes shown to some icons; the further skinning is just visible on the edge of the 2nd screenshot)
Weather plugin - can't remember, but that will depend on your location.
Next is some blank space courtesy of an unreleased plugin called VJTodaySpacer.
Finally at the bottom is VJAccioPhone, incorporating an autosizing quotes app (derived from QOTD), launcher app (the 4 icons going around the clock), clock, alarm icon, date on the calendar (which you can't tell, but is also rotated a few degrees to match the skin), last call info, last sms info, volume icon, temperature, battery status, operator icon and then some other stuff on the "i" icon. VJAccioPhone is unreleased and won't be released in its current form.

Thanks, Vijay.
Where can I get the today theme you are using? My TyTN is virtually unreadable in direct sunlight - I think your theme would help with this.

Quad, I'm not using a theme. I use a blank wallpaper (ie a white backdrop), and eliminate all standard Today features, so no theme.
The plugins I'm using are listed above.
If you're using a hermes, make sure you use VJLumos III to brighten your screen for outdoor use/irritating the wife in bed.

@ the irritate the wife in bed comment.
I'll download VJLumos III now and give it a try.

I've been asked to clarify my statement
I'm not using a theme
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's not strictly true, but for all intents and purposes I am not using the standard features of a theme (ie BaseHue and Wallpaper etc).
What I do:
I use CETuner, a splendiferous app that is not fully WM5 compatible, but again, as far as I'm concerned, works great.
Using that, I configure my font sizes, colours for all the usual theme elements, scrollbar sizes etc, and save that internally, and export it as a theme.
Next, I use an art program and make a blank, white image. Save as a bitmap to the device.
- I load the prepared theme.
- I go to Settings > Today and load my white backdrop as a backdrop.
This is not a perfect solution to "disabling" the theme, but CETuner gives me great control over configuration of the device, from the PDA rather then a PC based theme editor.
In the above screenshots I'm using VJToggleToday to remove the Standard OS start bar and SoftKeys.
I use SmallMenu Plus to overlay a better Start Button, and that gives task control and launcher, conveniently hidden when not needed (and also access to the normal Start Bar using VJToggleToday)
I don't think that particularly clarifies anything, but that's me..

awesome. downloading now.
Thanks

just flashed. From SDCard Looks amazing. Just starting to test all the applications. zeeshee - respect !

Got it flashed on my device. Icons are looking in-tact. So far no issues. Will post in case of any. Thanks again...

how do i flash my phone with this file?

Well done!
How do I get taskbar like yours (with vista style start menu button) and popping up menu??

The only problems after 1hr of use:
- java emulator is broken (buttons names, alerts) and opera mini doesnt work in full screen
- connection setup is broken but this is sth we use only once a hardreset so can live with it

- input in operamini is limited ?? thats why i posted 2 posts and everything has to be presses twice
- connection manager - any options to have a 6 butt black or any other than we have? - just dont like it.
apart from that - perfect

No, the 6 button black version is made for the original dpi of the Vox, you have to rewrite the whole thing to make it work, but feel free to do so!
@Zeeshee:
Could you please upload you ROM and SYS folder? And is there still a black bar at the bottom of the homescreen like in other versions?? Or is it just the wallpaper? Or is the wallpaper chosen because of this?! Great work!

Hi
Java is fixed.
Connection Setup & Comm Manager.. I think they need to be re-written. But the other Dr. Gonzo Comm Manager is working fine. You can launch it from Home Screen as well from shortcut inside.

If you are talking abt black bar at top... that is fixed

I mean this black bar:
Mh there is no option in registry for centering call screens that I am aware of!

java issues solved by installing Cloudyfa_EsmertecJbed onto device memory! works perfect!
i got only one white conn mgr. any other works in 96dpi?

how to get that black bar gone? anyone?

So what is the difference between 96 dpi and normale windows mobile ?

[Live Wallpaper] Terminal Live Wallpaper

Hi All, i made a terminal emulator which acts as a live wallpaper. Check below for more details:
Fully customizable terminal live wallpaper.
Terminal Live Wallpaper allows you to show useful information with style. It acts as a command line tool ( terminal ) and can execute and display almost any command supported by Android.
Number of commands is not limited, terminal live wallpaper will circle through all of them and display their results. Also it will simulate manual human command input. Use settings screen to change commands, text font, color, size, background color, background image and many more. All options can be combined in a infinite way.
Unleash your inner geek!
- Demo commands for both rooted and not rooted devices
- Switch between commands with screen tap
- Change text font, color and size
- 12 cool fonts
- World Wrap
- Set background color with transparency
- 8 included image backgrounds
- Option to set any image from device as background
- Set top offset
- Light weight and battery saver
- Supports all screen sizes and orientations
I encourage you to investigate it and try different combinations and parameters. :good:
NOTES:
- When selecting a color, click on circle to confirm
- Use transparency with background color to set color filters on image backgrounds
- Please be careful with commands, specially if you have root access. I am not responsible for damage which could be caused by inappropriate use.
Download it from Google Play. Just type "Terminal Live Wallpaper [Sorry cant post links yet, because im a boon]
or use this link: play_google_com/store/apps/details?id=com.atridhr.terminalwallpaper [replace _ with . ]
Let me know what you think of it.
Here are some screenshots:

I really like this live wallpaper, thanks for sharing.
When I doing some changes in the settings, the app sometime FC.
If you make resizable custom background image it will be perfect, because actually when the custom image not exactly fit on the screen I got black line in the top and bottom.

Hi l3s,
thx for your reply and report.
Wallpaper is made to center all custom images, but im not sure what happened in your case. Nexus 7 is a special case because its high dpi (not many device have 320dpi), anyway i will try to fix this with new update.
Until then, you can try using bigger image, or try to crop that one to 1280x800 resolution.

Hi, i will periodically share some new ideas and screens about different ways to use this live wallpaper, so here's one:
CLOCK MODE
Set font to Android Nation
Set font size to 100 (adjust to screen resolution)
Set Input command "date" (only this command)
Set Word Wrap to true
Set font color, custom image and color filter (optional)
See attachment to check what i got

As i have said before, ill keep posting some "interesting" ways how i use Terminal Live Wallpaper, so heres an update:
Alien mode
1. Set odd looking font, like Alpha Sentury
2. Font size ~140 (more or less)
3. Word wrap true
4. Custom background
5. Set background color filter to black with small transparency (this makes a darker image background)
6. Set font color to gray
7. Put many input commands
Check attachment to see what i got.

[TUT] Icon making and UCCW theming

Hi guys, Its been long a while I became a Recognized Themer...Now its time to share my little knowledge with all guys here so that you can also begin something...
What is required:
1. A good pair of eyes which can guess good colour styles.
2. A brain[Most important]
3. Photoshop or GIMP [This is the most important...PS is more advanced and good to use for any level but for beginning you can use GIMP...I used that only in beginning]
4. Bases and PS goodies to start with...Get them here [First get 592 icon bases so that You can go ahead...Then get all the videos there in case you need reference]
​
BASICS
» So what are icons???
» Attractive images you see on your phone for various apps....
So, They can be made in graphic manipulation softwares like PS, GIMP etc...Offcourse it depends on your needs because PS costs you while GIMP is free to use whatever time you want...​
FROM WHERE I SHOULD BEGIN?
» The answer is study the videos given by me well...They can solely guide you till your destination...Then this thread is for discussing your ideas and we can wor it out greatly...​
WHAT ARE SIZES PREFERRED?
» You know there resolutions like LDPI, MDPI, HDPI etc...So there sizes of icons are:
XHDPI - 96x96/144x144
HDPI - 128x128
MDPI - 48x48
LDPI - 36x36
You can use HDPI+ resoultion icons on lower ones BUT cant do vice versa because It causes excessive stretching and they look bad...​
Getting started with PS
Here is main panel guide for Photoshop [Mine is CS6 version but its almost same in every PS version]
{
"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"
}
RED - Tools panel: It contains all shape, paint, gradient, select and erase tools...
BLUE - Sub options of the selected tool i.e. if you select TEXT tool then it will show font and size etc...
VIOLET - Main canvas where you will be doing your works...
BROWN - Styles lay here which you will give to your Backgrounds and icons...
PINK - The layers panel where you can manage layers...​
REAL ICON MAKING STARTS HERE
Ok guys once you have done getting PS and other goodies,
Open up PS.
Click on File>> New and set size as 512x512 [A standard size which is always used by me for making a good resolution...This enhances effects we give and obviously when we tone down size it looks more beautiful]
So once done with this set Background to transparent...It will make the excessive space transparent to suit our desktop...
You can add any SHAPE and SIZES...Here for demo I am showing this -
1. Selecting shape :
Here I chose circle...So right click on shapes and you will get options to select your desired shape
So chose Ellipse tool here.
2. Adding Just border to circle:
So after adding ellipse make its size 490x490.
Above you can see stroke and fill options...Set no fill and select proper width of stroke/border...
3. Then you can give it any favourite effect...Here I'm giving TRON effect
4. Adding a Background to circle:
Press Control+Shift+N to create a new layer. Add again a ellipse little smaller than previous i.e. 485x485...
Fill it with matching colour. Then you have something like this -
5. Now take a close look at layers panel at right-bottom corner...There you have two layers...
Drag the topmost layer to bottom...So we will have a BG and a border up on that layer which will look tempting.
6. Now save the Style in form of PSD [Photoshop Document].
It can be opened again at any time and re-modded by you or anyone who wants...:good:
7. Now minimize PS and open the folder where you have put the base PSD from my link.
Drag one from them onto your ready background in PS. Then you can manage their shape as they open in edit mode. You can resize them and align them to centre by Pressing Select option on topbar...Then select all and select first tool on left side...You can adjust the way you want.then add them effects from right panel..
8. Resizing the done icon to desired size:
Go to Image on top bar and select image size option...select size 144x144 a very standard resolution which works on every screen resolution...
Then go to file>> save as>> save it with your name and don't forget to change the format to ".png"
9. Done now...You are really done​
​
It takes so much time to arrange the stuff and type so much so if you find atleast helpful then let me know and please post your doubts, works and everything here...will update more day by day to give you everything I have...
Press THANKS to show your appreciation as it encourages me to work more...​
