I made this theme a while back and decided to share it with this community in thanks for all the apps, programs, etc that are donated to us. I originally this theme with WAD, but I wasnt getting the results that I wanted, nor the speed. Then I came across this lightweight and speedy program called ultimatelaunch. It is by far my favorite GUI so far, very lightweight, simple, fast and customizable. It has some minimal flaws, but Ive tried my best to get it as efficient as possible for ease of use with one hand. You have all probably seen the AURORA and CUBE themes, which are pretty awesome as well, but this is a lot different. Each button along the bottom rom is a tab that responds to a page and title. Each page is customizable with included icons for various apps and progs. However, if you want it to look like the picture, then follow instructions to the T and you should run into no problems. The overall look of this theme is similar to an iPhone, but shows the power and benefit of WinMo and adds some style that cant be compared... Enjoy!
There are 5 tabs stock (Delete some if you'd like, but 5 max)

NEW DIALER INCLUDED!!!
Now with an optional dialer thanks to cbus! Thank you for your work, this dialer is simply genius.
click here to download the dialer cab
!!! Make sure you have the standard HTC dialer w/o video. The cab is only graphic files so that you can revert back to the original after an uninstall.
INSTALL:
1. Download THIS zip file (thanks to Moe5508) and install the file in order (0-9)
2. Go to start-settings-today-items and uncheck each item except for ultimatelaunch
3. Take it for a test drive
!!! All the animations, icons, and backgrounds are customizable. There are extra wallpapers and icons included, soo get creative and original
!!! All the shortcuts will be different on your device, to change them, hold your finger on a tab at the bottom of the today screen to pull up the menu. Click "Settings" - Pick the desired tab and click "Change" - Highlight "Apps" - then click "Change" - Pick the icon you want to change its shortcut. Its all rather self explanitory, but im trying to make this "NEWB" proof so I dont have to babysit this thread too much if you have any questions pm me.
!!! The batterystatus icons should work just fine. **From left to right** The first icon is the missed call count, clicking it opens the "Missed Calls" The second is voicemail, click it to call your "Voicemail" (To edit your vmail number, Activesync your phone or use total commander to open the "mytheme.xml" with a notepad located in the "/windows/batterystatus" folder. Scroll about 3/4 the page down and change the part that says "123456" to your own phone number) The third is text messages, click it and guess what happens lol. The last is your email, if you click it, it will pull up the account picker if you have multiple accounts like me (btw, the icons glow when something comes in)
!!! If anyone knows how to fix the clock from saying 0:00 at midnight, please let me know. thats the only thing i cant figure out, ive friggin looked EVERYWHERE!
CREDITS:
Thank you Daniel Schumann for such an awesome and reasonably priced GUI!
Some of the pages have today plugins that I got from freewareppc.com (awesome! freeware sight) they are called METRIX, CALENDAR+, HTC RSS Hub, BATTERYSTATUS ... thank you to the authors, please donate if you like their awesome freeware. The icons were sampled and resized from AKUMA and TORX, big thanks to their genius creativity. The background is from pocketpcscreens.com and modified by yours truly. The batterystatus theme was made by dBoris and the xml was edited by me to fit my needs. Thank you for the new dialer CBUS! The easy install files packaged into cabs and zipped up thanks to MOE5508. I dont know the real names of all these ppl, but their apps, work, and talents have helped me compilate this theme and take my phone to a new level. Just know that all your works are much appreciated by many of us here at XDAdev. Hopefully this theme will get your products and talents recognized a bit more...
I hope you will all love it, let me know what you think!!! Enjoy this theme and sorry if this was all too long! Although Im sure it was worth the wait!!!
I tried downloading and using just the icons that you had, specifically the XM Icon but I get an error when I try to use it. What am I doing wrong?

the icons are sized at 50 pixels... make sure to set that individual icon to 50+ for both parameters.
I guess that would explain it. Thanks for the quick reply.

Looks awesome....font is a little unprofessional for my tastes though. Any possibility of a different version of this in a more professional format?
Looks absolutely stunning! Can't wait to get home and try it!
Nice work man thanks for the contrib.
I tried to set this up.
Ulitmatelauncher doesnt work correct when I copy over the files. Actually UL doesn't open up at all.

I went into the UltimateLaunch.ini file and changed teh font to arial
restarted, now it works.
can we get a zip of your start menu links too? I see you have alot of nifty shortcuts instead of me having to find each program myself. like the text.lnk mms.lnk etc.
Is there a way to add a picture dial side to UL? Awesome theme !
thnx man good work !!!!
sorry everyone... i kinda passed out for a bit. ummmm, as far as i know, there shouldnt be any problems copying over the ul folder, if i recall the font on my theme is stock. (however, if youve changed your system font, you might have to change the .ini file in "program files/ultimatelaunch")
soo whoever thinks its unprofessional might not like ul (i mean, the font is outlined with black to make the white easier to read, but thats the only portion thats changable as far as i know. if you are referring to the picture... it doesnt have the font like it does at the bottom of the picture. the icons, are the bottom.
as far as shortcuts, i might be able to post up all my shortcuts, because i use some really cool programs i found (like the "favs" and "games" section, all in grid view, no lists! ) this part might have to be tonight though, i plan on releasing a movie as well in case there are some other things ive done to my phone that you all might like.
as far as a picture dialer side. i use the favs button to pull up "VS Contacts"
the button used to launch the contact side of the cube, which was neat, but I think VS Caller is better in some areas... but for you, ill post a fav five plugin that i have... its the best i can do.
update...
check the top of the first post!
another issue I found is going form landscape to portrait. it icons don't get drawn back correctly.
once you rotate your screen and the scroll bar appears, the totally screws up the alignment when putting it back to portrait.
this is not because of your skin, but primarily an issue with UL.

anyway good graphics work !
How do you set a PNG as a background? The Today app only seems to support .JPG etc. And I see not "Set to X% transparency" option.
I converted Wallpaper-Mobile7.png to a JPG and it allowed me to set it as background, but I see no transparency option.
The SMS icon is set to launch pocketCM when clicked.
Also, having the clock and/or date launch calendar when clicked would be nice.
But I do like it, quite similar to what I am trying to do. Would also like to put wifi and bt status/toggle buttons in the clock area too. I would probably get rid of the operator name, shuffle everything up and make the message counters 32x32 instead of 32x16 (For finger friendliness). I would also remove the seconds from the clock and put the wifi + bt icons I mentioned to the left and right of the clock.
I would also make BS a type 5 plugin so that scrollbars never appear over it.
Such a pity BS doesn't do a portrait / landscape switch too as it looks awful in landscape mode (wallpaper tiles...)

I start my explorer and make a doubleclick on the wallpaper and than you can set it as today screen and set the transparency.
I set the SMS Button to PCM cause i use it, you can change it to any other software you want. You can althoug use the MMS Button to go to the standard messaging program.
This is my first attempt for such a thing, and errors are normally, but i learn and the updates will fix these erorrs.
The BS Theme is not already in final. If you can mod this files, please post it here.
And the landscape modes are currently in work.
OK thanks, that worked.

before you release a theme you might want to make sure you get permission to use people's graphics, that clock is obviously modified from one made my asefsef, just making sure credit is given where it is due.

I understand, I'm not trying to be mean I am just saying that although the graphics are "free" as you stated, credit should be given where it is due. Being a graphic designer myself I know how much time people can spend working on certain things and its always nice to give credit to that person when you use something that they made. The people that make these graphics are not getting paid so it is only right to give them credit to show appreciation.

Theme includes analog and digital mode using spb ms options to select which you want to use. now screen includes 5 mru buttons. Theme includes 3 contact pages which can be accessed using the tabs on the bottom when u get to the contacts page. contacts page tab labels can be personalized to Personal, Business, Friends or whatever you want editing the xmls or using the SPBMobileShell.txt file. Now, Launcher and all contact pages include status icons. (as i stated before, i like to have quick access to status icons)
08/31/2008 - Changes include
1. Added all day appts to the now screen.
2. Not as much memory usage as before.
3. Added a theme that includes only 1 contacts page with 16 contacts.

Update for calendar on now screen: Download the file below if you want ur setup to include the calendar on the now screen. When i made this theme, i made a change to the now screen to show upcoming all day events. but when doing that it wont show the calendar at all or appts if you have no appts within 7 days. if you want ur setup to show the calendar, download the file below and copy the qa_layouts.dat file from the layout u want to use.
I would like to thank luiggi, gagaza, greatbal, and mkates for their themes and edits that i used to study to create my first theme from the default skin.
I would also like to thank beyondinvisible for his great weather graphics.
Please feel free to do whatever you want with this theme.

I would never close my now screen before either until i started using rumball's animated weatherpanel skin. (which is awesome by the way.)
I was actually thinking of doing different layouts, like mru tab instead of close tab or eliminate the fourth tab entirely and just leave 3 tabs. all depending on comments.
this looks really good
thank you for ur share

Awesome theme - Great Work - but on the now screen my carrier "verizon wireless" runs into the clock- how can I fix this? Thanks again.
I searched and found a little program called personalizer 2.0 - which let me change the carrier name - now it just says VZW! Thanks again!

well actually, my idea was to do a different layout because as much as i like the diamond look too, i like to change looks every now and then. maybe after mods and colors i plan to do, i can try something out to implement diamond into it.

Absolutely awesome theme. I have been trying to find a replacement for the Diamond (good theme, but time for a change) and this one sent all the right signals. I wanted to change some aspects though, I will be loosing the close button and adding an mru tab instead. The extra mail icons on the contas and program tabs will go as well.
Look for a post later today or tomorrow!

Check out my TF3D Landscape Mode here: AnX1 TF3D Landscape.
If you like the Taskbar on the screenshot, download it here: Tsowen Taskbar SE Mod
Updates:
V3
- Added transparent slider
- Fixed internet tab highlight
- Fixed some buttons not being skinned
V2
- Fixed "new favorite" icon in people tab
- Removed panelscreen home icon, added seperate cab to install
Installation:
- Download the attached .zip file.
- Unzip the .cab file to your phone or SD card.
- Run the cab file on your phone and install to main memory (SD card should work, but untested.)
- The installation will tell you to restart, do this.
Uninstallation:
If for any reason reason at all (though there's none I can think of ) you would like to uninstall this skin;
* On ROM-installed TF3D, just uninstall the cab as you would do with any program. It will revert back to the normal skin after reboot.
* On CAB-installed TF3D, uninstall the cab as you would do with any program, download the original manila skin as attached to this thread and run it. Then reboot.
Features:
- Full WVGA theme, all tabs
- Smaller, retextured clock
- Textured panel image
- Transparent slider
Known issues (V3):
None at the moment.
Notes:
- Contents of stock tab not textured in order to keep it easy to use.
- Sub menu's are slightly modified (e.g. settings and music album), not fully.
- No support for Singh's 15-tab (yet). There's been only one request and due to manila being fairly complex, it takes a lot of time to incorporate it into this skin.
Acknowledgements:
Pama - Transparant slider
Guap - Clock line removal
Looks dope, very nice work. I'll definitely have to give it a go on my X1. I'm slowly putting together a TF3D theme as well so I know it takes alot of time to get it just right, especially since the way HTC coded it is so damn whack.
I've left all the green highlights on the one I'm working on so not sure what manila file that one is for the internet tab but I'll holler if I come across it.
Again great job with your theme!
Cheers. I'll now start working on a complementary skin for the landscape fix chalid made. Won't take that long to make, but CAB will be added. Also, here's a screenshot of the panel interface with my skin CAB.
Landscape mode now supported, see first post for thread link!

Funny thing, that! I uninstalled and totally wrecked my TF3D. When i open the panel, it keeps sitting at the white screen with the text 'loading'. If i install Shadowsong back it works again. So i guess Shadowsong's uninstallation is removing files that are required by TF3D!
msalmank, do you have a TF3D that installs by ROM, or just the cab version?
I happily posted that the files are automatically replaced, but ofcourse that's only the case with ROM installed TF3D!
Basically, this overwrites your base skin files; so uninstall removes everything.
I will package the stock skin files tomorrow, when I have time for it.

I don't use a custom ROM, so TF3D was installed by a CAB file. I would really appreciate it if you would create a CAB file that installs everything to default.
BTW - the main reason i was uninstalling was not 'coz i didn't like the skin, i actually liked it a lot... but the reason was that it was replacing my Today Panel's image in the Panel selection screen... which is kind of annoying especially since i am using TF3D as a seperate panel and not on the Today screen. Could you possibly tell me what files to remove from the device in order for it to revert to the Today screen image instead of the skin's image?

Could you possibly tell me what files to remove from the device in order for it to revert to the Today screen image instead of the skin's image?

Yes, no problem. I will fix that by creating two seperate CAB's. Will post as soon as I've got time to fix this.
V2 is up! Check first post for more information. A small note is that the regular manila files don't have the background included at this time. I will fix this asap.
EDIT: Decided to do a thorough job and fixed the background as well, manually with a non-standard file, but works perfectly.
very nice work there, hope to see more from you, maybe an 15 tab version, that would be awsome..
clearly one of the nicest skins out there.

I can add support for 15 tab if you like. I just don't use that myself as it's just a tad too buggy and the tabs just a tad too useless. ^_^ Did consider it though. Just give me a heads up if you want it and I'll start work when I get time.

what can I say, go go go...
I love the tabs, especial the commmanager and callhistory
Hey, I've been too busy with many other things so haven't had time to fix up a version 3 yet. I've added an ETA in the first post. I did release a new landscape mode which is worth looking at, so I'd say check it out. Again, first post for more info!
Sorry for the long delay, had to put this on a sidetrack as I was too busy with my landscape app and other things. This is going to receive a thorough update soon.
looks great! Can't wait for v3!
Actually, it'll be 2.1, and I'll mostly be fixing stuff up / making stuff just a tad prettier. Won't be anything major.
I've basically got the fixes I had in mind ready. Now I'm working on two seperate complementary cabs - one for Singh's 15 tabs and one for my landscape mode.
That way, users will be able to choose what they do and do not want to install.
Will also be adding a full package that installs basically everything.
Update! Check out the first post for info and downloads. =]
were you aiming for a plastic look when you created the theme?
plastic isn't very exclusice imho =)

No, I wasn't. It looks better on the phone than on the screenshot. But nice of you to give me such a heart-warming compliment, after all the hard work I put in.
VGA skin for dwizzy simple iphone theme:
{
"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_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
updated: feb 15, cleaned up a few icons, redesign bottom bar with bigger digital clock, and last number called/dialed is shown under phone icon.
edit: it seems like the last number dialed only shows the number you last dialed out and not the last number that call in. not sure if i want to keep this.
updated: feb 11, the cab is updated with working calendar and digital clock below it. also updated were several icons. contact link is now link to icontact.exe, so you may want to install icontact.
for those folks who have a vga device, you can get the cabs here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=X5RFYR55
firs time install instruction: all that you need the zip file above, which has two cab files.
1. i recommend install nuenobar first, then (1b) the theme cab after.
2. restart your device, go into your today setting and enable rltoday.
"ONLY" for those who flashed to a newer build of wm6.1, 21015 and perhaps higher, you will need to install the new nuenobar2.0 and can be download here: http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nueNoBar.aspx
to update the cab instruction:
1. uninstall simple iphone theme...and install the latest theme cab. you do not need to uninstall and reinstall nuenobar
ohyeah you may want to disable all your today list if you have anything enabled.
in addition to dwizzy qvga theme, i have added call history button with number of missed call showing, and number of voicemail also added to the corner of the phone icon. the number of emails and sms also work.
what so good about this theme is that it is super light weight to run, and seems very staple. the whole cab is about just a little bit over 1mb not counting the font files, and only about 25 files altogether. tf3d has aover 1000 files and take maybe 15mb to 20mb of ram to run.
dwizzy deserve all the credits for the theme.

rotlaus for rltoday plugin
also credit to n2chem for the nuenobar, and jackleleung for the call history shortcut.
thanks to nexvision for helping with some of the codes.
all the artists that made the original graphic and icons, that i have edited and put together.
issue: i can not link the contact button to launch the phone book. maybe someone can help.
to play with the configuration, open up and edit skin.xml file in your "program files/rltoday/......./
Thanks for your great work man! I appreciate your work, and I think also other people who just watching without making a compliment.
Keep it up!
thanks for the sweet iphone theme....but how can i get the calendar added.....at the same time I like it to be shown as the corret date number for example today is February 11, Wednesday...I like it to be shown as 11 and Wednesday on the upper part of the number....and hope it will synchronize with the time....How do I do this....pls HELP...thanx
Nice work, for the contacts issue i just installed iContact found here

updated with what you've requested. the clock is a bit small, but i'm not sure how to incoporate the clock with the way the layout currently is. hopefully i will think of something.
thanks for the update...really appreciate it...maybe if you have some time....try to put the time above somewhere between the signal and start button......thanks again...
Is it possible to add another page to flick to, too add more programs, that would be great

This looks awesome. Great work. Would it be possible to show "balloon" indicators for the number of unread SMS, the number of missed calls, and the number of unread emails? I see you have the number under the icon now.

i think i will leave the number the way it is for a cleaner look. i only have the voicemail with the caption at the corner of the phone icon. you can play with the skin.xml file and add the caption to your taste.
it looks great! but where can I see the weather, and how can I add the link of goole maps, opera,etc?

This would be nice to have. Or the ability to customize the applications... not sure how tough that is to implement.
Also, a weather icon.. if it could show the type of weather and temperature, that would be awesome.
Where does the iContact need to be located? I have it installed and working on my phone, but the theme kicks back an error saying i need icontact.exe. Do I need to move the install location?
I am liking this so far. It makes much better use of screen space. Good job man
Now if only there was a centralized app store with a really nice interface....
to point to your iContact.exe just open up and edit skin.xml file in your "program files/rltoday/......./
point to where have installed it
this is pretty cool theme.
may i suggest that you sacrifice one of the icons, preferably top centre for a samll digital clock. i also agree that there should be a second page to cope with the heaps of apps people have these days
what would make this even better would be the ability to move, remove & replace the icons for other applications.
its a great start with a lot of potential... well done!
Two other things to consider for future versions:
A modified skin for landscape view
When hitting X in the menu bar, it closing the program and not minimizing it.
Multiple panes w/ a custom wallpaper for each pane. This would allow people to group different programs
I am really liking this, and as revisions are made, it could turn out to be an awesome theme
updated with bigger digital clock and last number called shown under phone icon.
Nice
Good work, I'll follow the updates

Wow, great job, I love the clock idea in the bottom corner.
I might implement that on V3.2 of my QVGA theme if it's alright with you (credit will be given)?
dwizzy130
dwizzy, you can do anything you want with the skin and no you dont even have to give me credit. you are kind enough to share everything with us to begin with.
I can't seem to get it to work? i installed it, both files but i can't seem to find the theme under settings/today.
[THE] [Updated 22-01-2010] ₪₪₪ HDWall Wallpaper CAB collection ₪₪₪ [RTFP!!]
NB: [22-Jan-2010] If you would like to request a cab file for your chosen wallpaper, you will find most will be happy to have a go for you. However, when doing so, can you please give specifics of the ROM you are using, i.e WM6.1/6.5/6.5.3, Sense/Manila/TF3D 2/2.1/2.5 and whether of not your version of Sense/Manila/TF3D is CFC compressed (if using a Custom ROM, the Rom Cooker's thread should tell you all of this information). This will greatly help the person who decides to do it for you, otherwise it's a complete shot in the dark, and if you are using anything other than the stock rom, it will most probably not work as they will normally use the default profile (TouchFLO v2.1 - No Compression - All Tabs). Actually, if you know all this info, there's no reason why you can't successfully have a go yourself, as I would always urge you to do. There's nothing like being able to do it yourself!
Here's an idea...changing the wallpaper on our TP2s seems a bit more difficult than in the past. The usual "background 4 all pages" methods that are about seem to cause problems for some (actually most, I think). I personally get a massive lag in screen rotation and other graphical gitches that I can't live with.
The answer is HDWall (massive thanks to maranell0 for this great piece of software)
OK, so it's time consuming and it involves a CAB installation and soft reset (actually, if you skip the restart after CAB installation, just restarting TF3D from Settings>>Personal>>Today>>Items does the trick), but what you end up with is a flawless wallpaper, higher in resolution than the standard methods, same background on all tabs, and absolutely no glitches or lags in rotation that I have noticed.
So the idea is, post your CABs and screenshots and share with the community your creations, save people the time and effort and make changing your wallpaper to suit your mood easy again!
Here's a start.... (also included MobileMatt's Crystal clock...credit to him for that)

***A quick tip for new users of HDWall...Before you start creating your wallpaper, from the config menu select the profile that matches you ROM's WM6.x / WM6.5.x... and Manila/Sense version, otherwise it will not work. Read the instructions on maranell0's post for full details of how it's done! If at first you don't succeed, keep trying and eventually it will seem easy!***
One more thing. I don't personally get this problem, but if the picture doesn't load on the home tab, but all the other tabs are ok, you will need to clear the following 3 values in the registry (after the first install):
In HKCU/Software/HTC/manilla/
clear the value of
1: Cachedbackgroundpath
2: DefaultHomeBackgroundPath
3: HomeBackgroundPath <<<thanks to real187 for this info

Is it okay for the kids to see topless girls? Not wanting to be a *****, but I really don't want the moms to gut us dry because we posted some, err, non-catholic explicit imagery susceptible of destroying irreversibly a pure and innoncent mind or **** like that.
At least, put in the title some warning, like, {BORDERLINE PICS HERE, NSFW, 18+}
Opps we will need to be careful here with our pictures or the mod's are going to jump on this thread.
please edit your pictures so we all dont get into trouble, there was this kind of problem in the diamond thread.
ok, my bad, pics have been linked instead of embedding them.

Try turning on/off (or reset) your device.
I think the stock rom is still having bugs since I also have this issue from time to time.
Also you could try disabling touchflo in the homescreen and then enabling it again
Just a suggestion guys and gals. All these walls are great. Theres an option to add a layer of color over the image and with that theres opacity options. I find that adding a black layer with some transparency enables much better previews of sms messages, as lighter colors can be confusing.

Well, I like my background just the way it is.
I think it's a personal preference
For example I never read text messages in the "preview" mode anyway...I always click it
Okay, here's my theme. I like the colors that coming out of the camera, it looks good with the neon theme on the Xperia.
Would this work on a touch pro?

The task bar icon set is the standard stock set. The TF3D icon set is "Neon Theme v1.2a - Transparent both" thanks to nicelad_uk

No, as the target resolution for the program to achieve from your pictures is WVGA. You need to use a standard BG 4 all tabs/pages app on your device with VGA images.
