Hi,
Here's the last skin I made for BatteryStatus.
It's designed to be only a "Today CommManager", like Effcomm, but more graphical.
DiamondWSwitch
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Features :
- toggle BT, WiFi and phone
- hold 1 second to have a little menu appear to select options concerning the item
Install :
- install batterystatus advanced (http://www.chi-tai.info/download/BatteryStatusExt.1.05.CAB)
- copy the dir and the XML file from the zip to \Windows\BatteryStatus
- change the theme in the options of BatteryStatus (Advanced Tab)
I also put the "older" version :
WirelessSwitch
Same features, same install, different look.
Tested on a Kaiser with stock ROM.
Enjoy
cool , super ton idée ton skin ..
it beautifull, great idée ;D
Very nice, looks great and works well. Great for people like me who are too lazy to open the real comm manager.
Cool, thanks!
just a question : what is the calendar plugin you use on the today in the DiamondWSwitch picture ?
I try to find something that will just display enough calendar info without scrolling bar on the right.
thanks
Bug feedback
Hi,
I'm using the Wireless Today Switch, which I think is fantastic, so thank you for the effort that went into making it. I have disabled the background by removing the line in the xml and the background png. I think it is line three. Anyway, one think I have noticed is that when you press and hold the phone button, whether the phone is on or not, the bottom option in the context menu is always "Turn off phone". The functionality works, i.e. it does switch the phone on when it's off, but the text is wrong. I'll have a look at it later myself but do you know an easy solution to this? I'll post the no background edit with a screen shot later today.
Cheers,

The single thing I did is the XML and the graphics, the other functions are Batterystatus's. So is this little bug

It's TodayAgenda. The great thing with this plugin, is that you can set a fix size... Set it to 62 and it's perfect
Screen shots & no background
Hi,
I've attached the edited skin with no background with a general screen shot and one of the menu error.

installed battery status. why dont i have the adcanced tab!!!!
i want to set the theme and i cant do it
Did you download the advanced version of Batterystatus ? (just click the link on the first post)
iPhone Theme/No WiFi (Perfect for HTC Touch)
Sorry for resurrecting such an old thread, but this seemed as appropriate a place as any to post this.
Though skinning and such is not my usual forte, I put enough work into this that it's only fair to share. This app was exactly what I was looking for when I decided I wanted a bluetooth on/off switch on my today screen... but, I really wanted it to match my iPhone icons. The result is attached. I've eliminated the wifi toggle since my HTC Touch has no wifi.

Hi,
I recently picked up an MDA Pro and am pretty happy with it, but there are a couple of things on the Today screen that I'd like to get rid of and can't find out how.
The bottom of the screen has a bar for the softkeys (currently says 'Messages' and 'Calendar') that's a waste of space, and likewise just above that there is a toolbar with battery status/wireless manager/screen rotate that I'd like to ditch. Any ideas how to do this?
Separately, are there any today plugins that give you the ability to crush down the # of messages and tasks to a single line rather than the current individual items?
Cheers,
Jim.
I don't use WM2005, however, have a look for my program, TodayToggle (which is not entirely WM2005 compatible: it doesn't hide the softbutton menu bar; I've purposely NOT tried to hide it because it's there for a reason. Would it be useful to hide it? When I get WM2005 I'll think about it).
For better control of task and alarms etc, look into alarmtoday by pocketmax. 3rd plugin down here:

vijay, u have some AWESOME looking features going on there. Please can you tell us what you're using for:
- What is giving you all the icons in the top bar?
- Which app are you using for the calendar summary?
- What is the second-last plugin and what does it do?
craigiecraigie4 - have a look at the second post here for some shots of my setup http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=26468
The bar at the top is just PhoneAlarm using a skin I made, and using a hack I made called ToggleToday. Both are described in detail here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=27331
Toggletoday will minimise the Startbar to a tiny 2 pixel high bar, and then allow your today screen to show through. So you get phonealarm on every page. It should work in QVGA on the Universal, although I'll be sorting out VGA and full WM2005 support when I get a WM2005 device (shortly I hope).
The second to last plugin is claunch set up with shortcuts to dial or sms my better half - they use tools I wrote called VJSMS and VJDialer, both available in the development forum; http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=26972.
I use a dual sim, so claunch is also set to allow me to switch sims (not visible on screen) - the plugin after phonealarm is a plugin i wrote to show my current operator, o2 UK and Orange UK.
The calendar summary is using AlarmToday by Pocketmax (phonealarm guy) but hacked a little to suit my theme better.
V
PS - this is my old screen! I've improved one or two things since, will try to post some new pics soonish.
Hmm... not quite what I was after. Here's a screenshot of my today page with the things that I don't like about it:
Items that I'd like to fix:
1 - combine these into a single line item
2 - get rid of the softbar (using a softkey for messages is a waste as there's already a hardkey for this and the calendar is already on the today screen)
3 - get rid of this line of icons (again duplicated information/functionality)
I tried your software but it doesn't seem to work with the MDA Pro: the screen ends up somewhat distored with the messages part of the today screen showing through to other apps and the right-hand 20% or so of the screen no longer updating - suspect a WM2005 prob somewhere.
Any other ideas?
Okay so not a perfect fix but I've found out how to change the softkeys on the Today screen and posted the details at http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=140027
Firstly thanks to all those who contributed knowledge, picture files etc in the production of this cab file.
This 'super theme' does a few things -
changes phone dialler skins in both landscape and portrait mode
changes dial buttons in both potrait and landscape views aswell as in the progress screen and dial screens
changes missed/incoming/outgoing notifications in call history
changes the ringtone to the matrix soundtrack
adds the matrix theme to 'my documents' folder.
what i am struggling with is to automate the matrix.tsk file automatically rather than manually setting the file.
i added this to my extended rom so the only other thing it didnt apply is the black bars on the task bars etc.
apart from that give me your verdict on rounghly a weeks work.....
ps the file is 4mb due to the ringtone and also i would like the data for the 'video' button so that i can amend the registry to fit in with the rest of the theme. thanks.

EDIT : Schroll further down for the updated version and a smaller file size.
Nice, can anyone do some more, don't want matrix on my cell
Thanks a lot .. works perfect
Hi 16cum,
What application are you using for your meters? Any slow downs?

i am using a simple one called batterybar.arm
attached
nice and simple an deasy to use doesnt slow the system down much, only thing is it was designed for WM2003 so sometimes shows charging and sometimes battery full, but after a single tap starts to behave!
re other screen shots well i am hoping to do Star Wars theme, but give me a bit of time and will post
nice work 16cum :wink: give us more !!
Hello
A few glitches sorted out with the cab files, they still do what i said they would the difference is now they are about 1mb in size, i have cut down the ringtone to 33 secs so drastically reduce the file size with compromising quality.
the rest is the same. you will still need to apply the theme via the Today Screen settings as as yet i havent been able to apply directly. Unless someone can help me!!! anyway
Enjoy Starwars and Matrix!!!!
Plz leave feedback on these and any requests and am also considering starting a website for these Super Themes so can have them all in one place.
Thanks
Forgot to add:
Use any cab file on your Exec, and just install. It will restart the device, then goto settings>today and apply the theme.
If you want the other one instead just transfer the other cab file and click to install. It will automatically uninstall the first theme and install the 2nd one and just the same goto the settings>today and apply the new theme.
This way you dont use a lot of storage space and program memory., you only use the 1mb for each theme in you device or better still SD card.
thanks
Err I am no longer using The Matrix theme but it is still shows up on the dial pad section? How do i remove it?
Edit: Found it under remove programs
The battery icon in the topbar of new ROMs bothers a lot of people on this forum! Levenum has posted in his topic in the 'development & hacking' section a (partial) solution to our problem! His program works! But covers also the volume indicator For now: congrats to Levenum!!!

Wow that's great. However, I am sure that most don't want to do an addition by subtraction. Hopefully, somehow this can be tweaked even further to just cover the battery and not anything else.
Yeah.. moreover.. I think most people want to get rid of the battery and put the standard time back there, rather than essentially 'skin' the taskbar by slapping a clock on top. You may also wonder what happens, for example, when using MagicButton - does it cover up the Magic Button bar if it's set to "entire taskbar" ?
it works also well with MagicButton.......
Works for me No problems with Magic Button so far.. ..the time is nicely hidden when "Cover Full Title Bar" is selected

For as long as there is no other BETTER solution to the taskbar time problem, I think this is the best way for now. You're free to develop a tool yourself but i'm verry gratefull to Levenum!
wooo, calm down I'm sure it is the best solution for now, and I'd be happy to use it if I were on the AKU2 rom and it doesn't interfere with other things too much
definitely can't knock people for trying. we need more of that. for me losing the volume icon isn't that big of a deal but what does this cab actually do?
Ok, something wierd is going on here.
I just successfully installed the custom 2.17 ROM on my MDA. I expected to have this problem you've all been refering to about the clock, but I'm not. Mine is still there, same as it has always been. So is the volume indicator.
The only thing I'm missing is the battery icon in the lower right hand of the screen.
Is my phone the devil?
Great work! BTW, you can still edit your volume settings if you click on the "clock" in the top bar, you just don't see its current status. For now its the best and at least someone has tried.
The work IS appreciated!

Maybe - try placing a post in the following thread (wouldn't want this one to go off-topic, eh?) with the name of the ROM you installed and whatnot:

See the original thread mentioned in the first post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45084
Summary: It adds a Today Item which lists both date (on the left) and time (on the right) -including Swatch @Internet time- using a custom string (e.g. "hh:mmtt" = "09:48am"). In later versions, an option to place a clock on the Taskbar (the top bar) was added. This clock simply 'overlays' on whatever may be there otherwise, which would typically be the new AKU2 ROM's battery indicator icon, and for most people the volume icon. Work is currently underway to make that Taskbar clock only appear when the Today screen is active, and have users be able to define the horizontal position of the clock - both to alleviate the issue of overlapping icons that /are/ desired.
Hi all,
I decided to try and make my very first skin ever and here it is, it's a skin for Conduits Pocket Player:
Wired's TouchFLO Skin v1.01 (VGA Portrait only)
NOTE: Thanks to sfxc13 there is now a WVGA version available here
Simply tap the center of the screen to switch between the various views:
Standard View >> Large Spectrum Analyser View >> Album Art View

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
NOTE: Recommended Vis settings: Disable Small Osciliscope, Enable Small Spectrum Analyser
The musical note icon on the bottom left will call up the 'Now Playing' screen whilst the settings (cog) icon will toggle the Equaliser on or off.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: Extract the PSZ file and copy it to where you have installed Pocket Player (e.g. "<storage>\Program Files\Pocket Player" or "<storage>\Program Files\Conduits\Pocket Player" if using an older version).
Enjoy!
nice work it looks good
Great ... thnx.
That's a good work.
I want too launch pocket player from manilla instead HTC audio player, so if you find the way to do this, please keep update this thread.
thkx

V1.01 Released
I have update the first post with a new version:
- Minor alignment issues fixed
- Larger Time / Remaining Time font
- Settings icon now used to toggle EQ on/off
- Installation instructions added
Enjoy!
Awesome, I love it
Warning!!!! Alert!!! Bugger!!!
Sorry folks, a bit of a bug slipped into the latest version which could cause Pocket Player or even your device to crash if you try to go into Options!
If you downloaded the file between 2:30PM and 5:30PM today, please download the updated version from the first post.
I'll try and be a bit more careful next time
Cheers
Nice one, thanks!
Indeed this is really very cool. I'm surprised this thread is not a lot bigger, nice one Wired69.
Thanks a lot!

Yes, just go to Menu >> More >> Options >> Advanced (tab)
From there, just untick 'Show Notification Icon' (under Interface)
If you figure out how to disable the volume icon, let us know!
this is hot!
btw anyone knows how to skip track when i have the cover art on full screen. Im using the diamond
Very nice skin. Thank a lot.
very nice, gonna try it very soon
This is great! Thank you. Looks so much better than the default. Im happy i found this .
And i hope someone manages to allow the music tab to load PocketPlayer.
Looks great
Thanks!
Hi.
firstly, i'm using the latest ROM from Dutty (WM6.5 Leo R4 Ultimate WWE
Based Rom 2.31 ( CE OS Build 5.2.23016.5.3.0 ))
secondly, i've installed all the "standard" things i use (cleanRAM, total commander, coreplayer, etc...but nothing to do with themes)
thirdly, Max TF3D Theme Maker v4.0 didn't work for me (any ideas why? sigh) and therefore i am unsure how else to "fix" my problem theme-wise
Finally, the problem:
The picture behind all the icons when i press the start button (or softkey on the top left) is...well it's a great pic (of my gf...hehe) but it's been stretched...lol. so it doesn't look so great.
PLEASE help me change it.
(i got the pic there in the first place by doing "Menu" Softkey->"Home Wallpaper"->"Picture Wallpaper"->Storage Card, GF pic.
now when i do that, it changes the home wallpaper, but not the background in the Start Menu)
Go to Settings/All Settings/Today and mark there "Use this picture as the background" then select your one

no. doesn't work. what happens is, the top bar (where start, battery indicator, etc are in) shows the top piece of the new picture i selected, but the old, stretched image remains. i'll try and get a screenshot up asap (never done it before, so good time to learn.
thanks for the first suggestion though!
Well, here is the screenshot of the problem. it's not just in that menu, but in any menu with wm6.5 style icons. (ill put the photo on flickr as well, incase the uploading dont work)
my lady looks fat on the pic...so u can imagine how unimpressed she is right now...lol

BUT, maybe some1 can help me:

got 1 minor issue...everytime i changed the lockscreen wallpaper, i've to soft-reset to get it work. otherwise, its only hanging on the top when i press the start button.

THIS seems to be very similar to what im experincing. My lock wallpaper, and the background of my start and "all settings" menu have the SAME picture. (although i only selected a picture for the lock screen)
this wouldnt be so bad, but the picture gets stretched in the settings menu although it looks fine on the lock screen (just see print screens)
any ideas? (ps. sorry i left real people pictures on! i forgot to change the picture to something more generic. but now u know im a good guy, no skew teeth, wash behind my ears, etc )
