[FEWidgets] User Made Widgets thread! - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

IMPORTANT: This Widgets are not compatible with FEWidgets Lite and Ultimate version.
As I've been seeing more activity on "user made widgets" for FEWidgets on the app thread, I thought I would create this thread on which we could manage all new widgets created by other developers/users.
I'll keep a list here and update it as often as I can , if you made a widget please create a post on this thread with the following:
- Zip file containing the new widget (if it's an Auto Installable Package please say so)
- Screenshot of the new widget.
- Explain what it does briefly.
- If it's not an AIP widget zip file, please include deplyment instructions.
I'll check this thread often, but if you see I missed your widget please PM me and I'll update it.
All Ideas or questions regarding widget creation should be posted on this thread, and bugs or questions regarding the app itself on the other one.
Documentation for creating an Auto Installable Package zip file can be found on the widget Creation Manual Here.
On this post you have an example of an AIP package and a small guide to create your own on 5 steps. Thanks nir36!
INSTALLATION:
Widgets marked with AIP are Auto Installable Packages.
- Place them on FEWidgets\install
- Go to Configuration -> Install New Widgets
- Restart the Application (or the today plugin)
Widget zip files not marked with AIP, must be installed manually and it will be explained on the creators Post.

I was wondering if action script for Flash Lite is supported for widgets (or would it work if system have Flash Lite installed).

flash lite actionscript is supported, becuase flash 7 for Pocket PC supports AS 2.0.
FEWidgets won't work with Flash Lite, it needs flash Player 7 because flash lite does not provide an ActiveX control. (I believe there is a way to create a player on a specific window invoking FL_CreatePlayer from flashlite.dll, but it's not documented.. at least not for free)

Widget AIP (Auto Install Package) Manual
The following zip contains 4 flash files and 1 XML file which are the example of how to make an installation package for FEWidgets.
The code in the XML was written by nicolas in the Widget Creation document.
all you have to do is download the example, replace the files in the zip with your files and change the zip file's name to have an installation package.
changes required are as follows:
1. change zip name to whatever you want..
2. switch both NAMEico files with your files while NAME is the widget's name
3. switch both NAME files with your files while NAME is the widget's name
4. edit the xml file and change the values inside according to what is written in the right fields.
5. copy the zip file to /program files/FEWidgets/install and in the config app choose to install new widgets.
PLEASE! if you post a reply with a widget and want to add more widgets DO edit your post and add them there. this way we can keep 1 post per user with all his widgets and keep this thread as clean and organized as possible for nicolas to read.

here are the first 3:
Unread SMS Count and Missed Calls Count with 2 icons and a Clean Date Widget.
-Clicking the icon in the SMS widget will load poutlook messaing
-Clicking the icon in the Missed Calls widget will load iContact in Missed calls
-The date widget is nicolas' date widget changed to be white with no background

Updated first post with all 3 widgets =D (when you have some time could you place a screenshot on the post with the three widgets? I believe I've seen one already )
Thanks! (I've also added a link to the AIP template you made )

hehe. i must also mention that the basis of the action script for all widgets was made by nicolas... i only edited and added things... and will change more.
I have to go to sleep.. long day tomorrow, but i'll post screen shots tomorrow.

Widgets
Here is my post for widgets.
1) Battery Meter ver1.4 AIP package; its a 5 stage animated meter; screenshots: onsidebar.jpg onscreen.jpg
2) LGMenu widget ver1.0 AIP package; ported version of LG Today Plugin and LGMenu for FEWidgets, fits best on 240x screen with no bottom bar and Opera browser installed; screenshots: LGM_sidebar.jpg LGM_onscreen.jpg
3) Tiny Browser ver1.0 AIP package; this widget is based on Touchwiz's browser shortcut gadget however this one is configurable - you can actually make it run just any .exe from \Windows\ directory; you can change launched application/browser at FEWidgets\custom\Tiny Browser\config.xml; by default its set to launch Opera; screenshots: Tiny_Browser_onscreen.jpg
All packages install sources aswell (custom\).

btw, there should probably be an option to uninstall a widget

There is an option... on the configuration section when you select a custom widget the uninstall option on the menu should be enabled.
There is also an installer section for uninstall special commands I think (dont remember right now).
You should restart the application when the widget is uninstalled.

It seems like we wont be able to use just one post to put all widgets/screenshots - its just limited to 8 files
BTW new widget posted (Tiny Browser)

I'm having problems with widgets which call dynamically other swf files. It works just fine on pc, icon shows on sidebar and widget can be dropped on screen but it just dont appear, like its nothing there and FEWidget dont freeze or crash. Here is sample code:
Code:
_root._quality = "high";
_level0.FEWidgetsAPI.SetClickAndDrag(_root._name, _root.drag, Empty, true, false);
_root.loadMovie("w1.swf");
stop();
and there are just two layers where second one ("Drag") containing movieclip with alpha=0

When you have this kind of problems I suggest you look at the FLA files on the sources. You have to use the full application path and appenf file:// at the start:
Code:
_level0.FEWidgetsAPI.SetClickAndDrag(_root._name, _root.drag, null, true, false);
_root.loadMovie("file://" + _level0.BasePath + "[B]swf_folder[/B]\w1.swf");
stop();
Where swf_folder is a folder below the app folder. You can check pb.FLA fpr a working example.
You should also not set quality on your widgets as it affects the whole movie.

nicolas, besides the problem with the inability to disable the Application Shortcut and Weather widgets there is also a problem with uninstalling installed widgets.
when i try to uninstall it tells me that it's "Unable to uninstall Widget"... or something of that sort.

Thanks, "file:" thing work but i can't make it dragable. Tried several ways but nothing changed. Looks like i'm doing something wrong. Here is code i end up with (there is only one layer called "main" and nothing on it):
Code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("content",0);
_level0.FEWidgetsAPI.SetClickAndDrag(_root._name, _root.content, Empty, true, false);
_root.content.loadMovie("file:\\Program Files\\FEWidgets\\widgets\\w1.swf");
stop();
w1.swf is still an external animated movie with its own actionscript

I need help.. this is driving me nuts.
When i embed the numerals for the Missed Calls/SMS Count widgets it makes them disappear. only when i use device fonts it works.
i have no idea why...
it looks REALLY bad when it uses device fonts instead of embedded ones.

As dragging involves assigning events you might want to create another MovieClip and use it as a hitzone. Try using null instead of Empty too.

Try increasing the size of the text area.. perhaps that's what is bothering you. (it happened to me once )
I'll check the uninstall procedure on a future... oh an btw b5 had some bugs, I recommend a fall back to b4.

Managed to get drag working but whatever i do all my layers always remain bellow spawned w1.swf. The only reason it drag is because the movie spawns only particially on layers surface (despite that whole movie is visible).
Drag didnt work with MovieClip and SetClickAndDrag function. I went for following code that i found on your manual:
Code:
on(press)
{
_level0.WBeginDrag(_root._name, this);
}
on(release, releaseOutside)
{
_level0.WEndDrag(_root._name, this);
}
Its better now but still need to be found a way to get a layer over the movie and to center this movie
EDIT: movieclip is now centered, now only hitzone button/layer need to be brought at the top

lol, i made it 6 times the size it was and it still doesn't work.
it just won't show the number.
I embedded chars on other widgets and this is the only one it doesn't work on.
edit: WORKS! the god damn widget was set for flash player 10 instead of 7 for some reason. those are the exact problems which make your want to kill yourself.
cheers
btw nicolas, i updated all 3 widgets, please update the first post.
another question: as you can see on my screenshot there is some kind of nettish background to the widgets. is there a way in which i can delete that?

HHC is now v1.0 Final and this version of the program is seriously outdated. Some functions do not work at all. Please visit www.pocketemu.com to download an updated version of HHC. This information is left here for archival purposes only and should be considered obsolete.
This program will let you customize, backup and restore the HTC Home Plugin. Currently it lets you customize the background, clock, tab icons, and weather icons separately. Please leave your feedback as I am constantly trying to add/update the feature set. Please view the readme for details.
ATTENTION
The install cab has been removed from the package, however you now have the option to download the home plugin based on your WM version. This is NOT guaranteed to work, but seems to work for the vast majority. You may still install your own version prior to running the customizer, however only the downloaded versions are guaranteed to work with all options.
Also, there is now a 2.0 version of the Kaiser Home plugin with several fixes (working profiles, contact # selection, etc.), however it's only available for WM6. This is the version the customizer will download and install for you if the plugin is not detected (on WM6). The links below are the 1.5 version if anyone would like to use that instead.
v0.8 *UPDATED 8/19/2007*
FEATURES
-New cab installer and two versions, HHC and HHC Lite!
-Change the "appearance" of the Home Plugin (background, clock, icons, weather icons)
-Options to change tab order, music player, and today postition locking
-Backup/restore of your appearance and settings (launcher shortcuts, contacts, weather settings, cities database, plugin options)
-Option for alternate weather selection (custom cities!!!)
-Option to create/delete shortcut to the program
-Custom theme support
-Support for plugins that install to \HTCHome and \Windows
-Live appearance set downloads and previews
-Live download of Home plugin and Audio Manager based on WM version detected.
(You can still manually install another plugin before running the customizer if you wish.)
NOTE ABOUT LIVE DOWNLOADS
Live downloads are very primitive currently, although very functional. Please leave your feature requests for this module in this thread, as they will be added to v1.0 when released.
If you lose your data connection while downloading a file through the customizer, you may experience a delay of up to 5 minutes before the customizer recognizes the connection is lost. This issue will be also be addressed in v1.0.
Here is a direct link to the preview site: Appearance Previews
THEMES
OK, here's how themes work. The "Theme" is broken down into four "Appearance" options. They are Background, Clock, Icons, and Weather Icons. I split those up for two reasons. First, I haven't found any (I'm sure they're out there) alternate weather icons, so copy the sames files over again is redundant and wastes times. Second, it gives you a little more control over the customization of your themes. What the program does is it takes the names of the four Appearance options you have set and save those parameters to the themes.ini file with the name you have given it.
You can then go back and reload that theme (four image sets) anytime you wish from the Themes menu.
INSTALLATION
YOU MUST HAVE THE HTC HOME PLUGIN INSTALLED TO USE THIS PROGRAM. If you would like to use the Tab Order function, you must have a version of the plugin that supports it.
YOU MAY OPTIONALLY INSTALL THE HTC AUDIO MANAGER to use with the Music tab.
HHC is now packaged in a CAB installer. You can install/uninstall this like any other program now. If you have a previous version with a custom backup or appearances, you can copy them into the new installation folder as the folder structure has stayed the same.
If you do not have a Home plugin installed, the customizer will prompt you to download and install a compatible version. You may decline, however you will not be able to use it unless you have one installed.
You can also download a version of Audio Manager for your WM version from the HTC Options menu.
Neither the Home plugin or the Audio Manager are guaranteed to work with your device, however these packages have worked for many people.
USAGE
1. Go to Start -> Programs and launch the HTC Home Customizer.
2. Use the program.
3. Close the program. Once complete, the plugin should reload automatically and you should see your changes if you made any.
WEATHER
Thanks to N2A on XDA forums, you can now pull your local weather. Based on his patch, I've implemented a switchable setup for your weather. You may continue to use the default or switch to a custom db where you can enter the cities you wish, most US cities by zip code only! Please see this link for more details about zip/location codes you will need to enter. You will only need your zip/location code, as the program will handle all the database and reg entries for you.
If you are having trouble with local weather over your phone's data connection when selecting a custom database, try this via wifi (tested) or activesync (untested):
1. Disconnect your phone's data connection.
2. Enable the alternate internet connection and open PIE.
3. Browse to http://htc.accuweather.com, you should get N2A's "error page" (at this point, your weather should now update)
4. Disconnect the alternate connection and re-enable your phone's data connection
5. Try to update the weather tab, you should now get your local weather if everything is setup correctly.
If it's still not working and your on WM6, use the cab from N2A's post above. The cab he provides is more reliable than the "Pocket Hosts" method he describes, which is what the customizer now uses
CHANGELOG for v0.8
-Some packages have been removed to reduce download size.
-New Download Packages option - Can download extra packages from online repo at any time
-Option to preview the packages in IE, then go back to the customizer to download
-Removed extra prompt when plugin DLL not found
-Fixed install background confirmation to say background instead of clock
-Change language of HTC Home plugin (sorry not the customizer itself, just the plugin)
-Added a bunch of artwork to online repository
-Added option to show/hide titlebar clock
-Added prompt to soft reset device if a change that requires it has been made
-Added option to change the localization of the plugin
-Added live download of plugin if not installed with check based on WM version
-Added live download of audio manager (optional)
-Added more description to some prompts
-Added more (still not done) error-checking with program functions
-Most important feature of all: HHC has an icon!!! (A crappy one, but an icon!)
-Probably some other stuff I can't remember right now
MINOR BUGS/ISSUES
Occasionally the program will lock up or soft reset the device. This has only happened after repeatedly opening the program. I've only heard this from one other user, so I think it might have something to do with another package. I'm still looking into this issue.

how exactly do you use this?

To use the app, extract the zip file anywhere on your device (main memory, storage card) and run the homecust.exe. The program is menu driven and pretty straightforward.

We can set you up with a mirror on our site if you'd like (if you like so people wouldn't be forced to use rapidshare). Might help in getting some exposure for it too. Let me know!

This sounds like something I would realy like to use... I'll give it a try tonight.
Thanksemunutz

That would be awesome, I tried to upload it in my post, but kept getting an error.
I've got several more features up my sleeve, so expect some updates shortly!

Excellent package. This is what the Mogul SHOULD have had. Easy setup & config.

where do i change the celsius to fahrenheit now...i found it before but now i started using this customizer and cannot find it.
thanks in advance

You still need to change that option in the weather settings of the HTC plugin. My customizer will backup/restore that option for you, but I didn't add it as a setting because you can set it with the Weather options in the HTC plugin (Tap the city name, then go to Menu->Weather Options).
Now that you brought it up, if I add that option, you wouldn't have to go into the weather options at all. I'll add the option to the next version for convenience.

can someone help?
I know this is off subject, but in his screen shots above
he has a today plugin that is showing battery and memory and such,
I have been looking for one that looks like that and did searched.
does anyone know what that is and where i can get it?

thanks emunutz
also i was checking that battery and memory plugin out in his screenshots...its pretty nice and what ive been looking for. so id like to know also...thanks again!

It's called PSW Metrix 1.1. There's 2.0 beta version there, but it doesn't fit all 4 status bars on one line, it wraps the brightness setting down to the next line (really annoying).
Here's PSW's website: PSW
Direct link to download: Download
ATTENTION
If backups are not working for you with the 0.5 series, please create a folder called backup in the <HHC path>\FILES folder. I apologize for this oversight, it will be included in the next version.

Could you add Schap's_New_Color_Icons as another option?
Thanks.

It's a great tool!!
Can you change the clock's color?
The colors are from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314510

I want to include them. I asked the author's permission ( I know it's just color adjustments, but I haven't had time to redo them myself yet ), but have not received a response yet. If you want to use them yourself, download one of the packages and drop the images into the <HHC path>\FILES\clock\Custom folder. Then run Appearance->Clock->Custom. They will be applied.

thanks. very talent work.
Do you have Schap's_New_Color_Icons? If not, I can send you the files.
Btw, after I play the software for a while, my mogul will freeze, I have to do a softreset. Don't if someone else has the same problem.

I'm not sure about that one yet, I'll look into it for you and post later tonight.

I'm glad you posted this over here as well, so I can look for updates. PPCGeeks is having some major 503 error issues right now.
On a separate note, any changes made to my today screen plugins (adding/removing) don't go into effect until a soft reset. This is not normal, but I'm not sure what I did to cause this. Anyone know what could cause this behavior?

Release Notes
I'll most likely be on Live Messenger if you have any questions, [email protected]​
WisBar Advance Desktop 2: Release 3 [12/19/08]​
This is ridiculous!! The theme works great, but I can't seem to get it to ya'll right! WTF! Anyways, go back to the 2nd release, if you never downloaded the third, disregard this. Instructions changed.​
For now, the theme will remain as is. Once the update to WAD2 is complete and working, I will rebuild the theme with two extra features, and to make sure there is no error in the theme with the newer version. So, in the meantime, everything works, but if you have any request for the final release, let me know! Enjoy!​
Release 3 added:
Those without Audio Manager installed were unable to launch the theme, shortcut was deleted
Added text to application tabs
Added Video Recorder Page
Removed Voice Recorder shortcut, not all may have, similar to Audio Manager​
I. How do I apply the theme?
1. Download the attachment "WisBar.zip"
2. Extract to the root, "\", of your device
For those that already have this folder from the last release, I suggest creating a new, blank WAD2 theme, set it as your default, quit WAD, then delete the ENTIRE WisBar folder from your device. Don't worry, all the same files plus more are included.​
3. In the "WisBar" folder you'll have two folders, "Project Storm R2", and "Project Storm WAD2"
Move the "Project Storm R2" folder to "\Program Files\Lakeridge\WisBar Advance Desktop\Themes". Leave the other folder in the "WisBar" folder. These files MUST be in these locations to work! Don't worry about memory, sizes are small and it is best to have these on the device.
The reason for the "WisBar" folder is simple, I use this as my general folder for all WisBar items, graphics and others. This includes the WA3 theme.​
4. Open WAD2
Choose Settings, then "Change Theme". If you do not see "Project Storm R2" in the list, choose the option to "Scan for Themes", and it should then appear. Select the theme, and apply!​
II. On with the Show!
I've tried to use all available possibilities with WAD2, simply to have a better theme, and to use it for what it's worth. For those that used the first release, forget it even existed! This one is MUCH MUCH better. If you are new to WAD2, you will be in for a surprise! There is a lot to it, but once you understand it better, the easier all of this will make sense.
WAD2 is simply a "Virtual Desktop", it allows you to place almost any item you would like anywhere on the screen, with any number of screens. This is why this application is the best for this theme. If you have questions, feel free to ask here, we are all here to help.
For starters, at anytime you can swipe down to return home. Also, all shortcuts use default WM applications, this basically means opening contacts will launch iContact, if that's what you have installed.
III. Home Page
This your first page. Everything you need is here. At the top is the "Status Dock", and the bottom are your "General Shortcuts"
The Status Dock includes:
Live Battery Meter
Live Volume Status [Opens Volume Profile Manager]
Your Carrier Name
Live Phone Signal Strength
Bluetooth Status [Toggles BT power]
Data Connection Status
Wi-Fi status [Tapping toggles Wi-Fi power]
Clock [Opens Clock Page]
Long Date
The space below the date is used for the following notifications, only displayed when needed:
Missed Calls [Missed Call List]
Voicemails [Calls VM, you will need to change! Edit the script to call your own VM]
Emails [Opens Email Inbox, ActiveSync by default]
SMS [Opens SMS Inbox]
MMS [Opens SMS Inbox]
The General Shortcuts:
Messaging [Messaging Center]
SMS [SMS Inbox]
Contacts [Toggles Speed Dial Dock, shortcut to Contacts included]
Calendar [Opens Agenda Page]
Browser [Toggles Web Favorites Dock, PIE preset]
Media [Opens Media Page]
Weather Icon [Opens Weather Page, displays Home info]
Maps [Change to what you like]
IV. Applications Page
Like before, tapping the middle, blank part of the screen will open the applications page. This is fixed, so you don't need to look for it! At first, you're brought to the main applications page.
The bottom four are preset to:
Applications [Opens Page 1/3]
IM Apps [1 Page Only]
Games [Opens Page 1/2]
Tools [1 Page Only, Control Panel preset included]
The top two rows can be customized to launch your eight favorite applications.
To change between pages, swipe left/right, but this does not apply to the Main Applicaiotns Page.
ALL grids are set to "Object Grids". This means you can add more than shortcuts!
V. Media Page
This is really just a quick build. Once WAD2 is updated, the tab bar feature will be added here. Those who are unaware of this feature, it is similar to the tab bar of M2D.
Four buttons, these only change page, the large icons are the shortcuts:
Music [Audio Manager]
Photos [Photos & Videos]
Videos [WMP]
Voice [HTC Voice Recorder]
I used to have a second row for more, but I didn't like the way it looked, plus I'm sure majority of us use one general application for each media category. To change, just edit the button to launch the app of your choice.
VI. Weather Page
Fairly simple, forecast for days 1-4 on left, 5-8 on right. All general data is displayed in the middle. All icons and data are for Multiple Cities! This means the data for everything will update when you change the active city. The right arrow chooses the next city, left chooses prev, and maps brings you to a new blank screen. On the blank images page, just add a weather image of your choice.
Tapping the large weather icon will update the info.
VII. Agenda
Full screen agenda page, tapping anywhere on the agenda opens the calendar. Top left notifier displays remaining appt + all day, opens calendar, top right shows due today tasks + overdue, open tasks.
If you use PB or Diary, simply delete the agenda and add the plugin.
VIII. Clock Page
Simple clock page, arrows switch between digital and analog. If you have HTC Home installed, I suggest changing the digital clock to a HTC home style clock, just be sure to choose the location of the images! Alarm clock opens the default alarm application. This page also acts as a screen saver. On sync, this page will open, when done the home page will open.
*CONTINUED IN POST 2*​

*None of these images show the correct WA3 theme!*​
VIIII. Additional Notes
Included in this theme was a folder named "Additional Files", it is located under "\WisBar\Project Storm WAD2". Here you will find several different customized links for you to use as you like.
The following are included:
New Note
New Contact
New Appointment
New Task
New Word Document
New Excel Spreadsheet
Open SMS Inbox
Open Specific Inbox
Control Panel Shortcut
Default email link is set to open ActiveSync, to change, change the properties with an application like Resco Explorer and change "ActiveSync" to the name of your Inbox. This is for the WM default mail application.
A great thing about these shortcuts is they are linked to the default WM applications. This means for example, if you use PI8, and choose, "New Contact", it will open PI8, not the default application.
Users of FlexMail 4, see here, lots of great info:
http://kb.webis.net/questions/57/FlexMail+Command+Line+Parameters
When landscape is complete, those with a 320x320 screen can duplicate the theme files and use the copy for the second direction.
WAD2 Release 4 [Final]​
Not yet completed, just making of list of things that will be changed. Once WAD2 is updated, these will be posted.​
Each App Page will have shortcut to Page 1 [tabs will be shortcut to Main Apps Page]
More Apps Pages [maybe 5 vs. 3]
Lock Page
Tab Bar
Battery Icon [new]
Volume Button [changed, hopefully fixed]
Three Seperate Releases
1. Shortcuts/Speed Dial can be added without entering Author Mode [This means items can't be customized]
2. Shortcuts/Speed Dial must be entered through Author Mode [Allowing more customization to items]
3. Home Page Shortcuts will toggle docks [This means instead of launching email on tap, you will see a dock with inbox specific info, along with the shortcuts to open inboxes and create new emails]​
WisBar Advance 3: Release 1 [12/19/08]​
NO THIS ISN'T POSTED YET!
The idea for this theme is to match the WAD2 theme, and of course the Storm. At first, this may feel a bit odd to use, but after a day or it works great, for me at least. I have REMOVED the Start and OK/Close buttons. Don't worry, the functions are still there, just looks different. Now, you will have to set the order and functions yourself, the theme unfortunately only includes the graphics. Also, you do not have to set your taskbar like this, but I recommend it, because it will match the WAD2 theme, and looks awesome. There is a lot you can add to the taskbar, but by adding too many things, I feel you lose a "finger-friendly" taskbar. I like to have it simple, and display important info.
I recommend the following taskbar order:
Left Aliged:
Battery [Tap: Casc Start Menu, Hold: WAD2]
Window Title
Right Aligned:
System Notification [Tap/Hold: Show Notifications]
Clock: [Choose whatever]
Network [Tap: Clock/OK, Hold: Menu or Switch Window]
Phone [Tap: Clock/OK, Hold: Menu or Switch Window]
You'll notice I say use the Network and Phone Signal with the same functions. This way, it feels like you just have to tap the right corner to close, instead of tapping a small "X". Again, this is just a personal opinion.
Font looks best at 10pt.
Bottom taskbar:
I have included two different themes, one with a glossed bottom bar, and one with a flat black. I really like the way it looks glossed, but some may like the flat black instead. There isn't a lot of focus on the taskbars, more on the rest, like the buttons.

So far I think I'm good. I'm just surprised at how simple everything is, but looks so dang good. The only thing I'm trying to think about is the dialer, and how it can work for all devices. I've only made dialers with Tiermann's creator, which I think is for the Touch only.
Honestly, I've been staring at the first pic for almost 5 min now putting it all together in my mind! I may have to run to the store for some Starbuck's Double Shots !
Thanks for the support, I'll let you know when I'm stuck.

How big is each icon image for the menus? I could try whipping up a VGA skin if the icons are big enough.

go on!
I started this theme two days ago..
here a pic: I haven't resized anything allready so the buttons are bigger than normal for a 240x320 screen..

Once you get the buttons smaller, it should look very good
Are you going to have them link to new pages or directly to apps?

Alright, so I'm finally putting things together, I'd really like to finish this ASAP, since my new replacement device will be here next week, and I hate working with an incomplete theme.
The only thing I know I won't be able to do is a custom matching icon set, similar to the icons in the first pic of post 1. It won't include the background image, just the icons itself. So far, I've set the background to 60px wide, which should leave the icon around 45x45. If anyone would like to help with that, just PM me and I can send you what I've got.
Thanks!

Some screen shots posted.

Definitely blows away what I posted over at lakeridge forums. Terrific work.

JT, i'd like to help you in whatever way i can...
PM me with what you need.. i'll start working on it this weekend.

More screen shots up ! Check post 1 & 2.
Almost complete, just fixing a few things.

Argggggghhhh I need that WAD2 theme!! looks great!

This theme looks great. Good job!

I can't wait until this is done!!!! It looks amazing.

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.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=12695
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

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.

Hi all,
I've created a "Windows Phone 7" clone Photoshop PSD layout. This is for HTC desire with a resolution of 480x800. Could work on other devices too.
The .psd provided comes with guides (the blue lines in photoshop) and slices for boxes like in the preview below. If you know your photoshop, you can handle it
The Iconpack (gallery):
http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/2370677/1/Iconpack?h=898f93
The Iconpack (zips):
http://users.telenet.be/amahoela/win7phoneicons/
Update 30/09:
- added Digital Clock Widget in 7 colors
Update 29/09:
- added 2 new categories: eBook and Tweetdeck (want more? Just ask )
- Removed zipfiles, added dropbox gallery link instead
Update 26/09:
- added transparent icons (50% black, see screenshot below). Now a total of 3472 icons!
- added transparent widgets
Update 24/09:
- added two new widgets (Settings and SMS Unread Widget) in the post below
Update 23/09:
- added info on box sizes
- added widgets in 6 colors, see 2nd post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8226239&postcount=2
Update 22/09:
- Added an iconpack with 2928 icons (61 categories, 6 different colors, 8 different sizes)
- New .psd file added, used to create the iconpack
Credits go to:
newone757 for the combination LPP and DV idea (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=781455)
michd43 for the layout idea (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8220397&postcount=225)
More info on the box sizes:
This is the part where some people have problems...
Here is the full setup for selecting the right DV widget size:
4x1 image -> "3x1" DV widget (resize to 4x1)
3x1 image -> "2x1" DV widget (resize to 3x1)
2x1 image -> "small" DV widget (resize to 2x1)
1x1 image -> "1x2" DV widget (resize to 1x1)
1x4 image -> "1x3" DV widget (resize to 1x4)
1x3 image -> "1x4" DV widget (resize to 1x3)
1x2 image -> "1x3" DV widget (resize to 1x2)
2x2 image -> "middle" DV widget (resize to 1x1)
The Icons are from:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Requirements:
- LauncherPro Plus or ADW Launcher (LPP or ADW)
- Desktop Visualizer (DV)
Procedure with photoshop:
Open the .psd file in the zip-file provided in this post. Notice that the icons and texts are in 3 seperate folders in the layer window in photoshop. I like an organised view when I create/design something
You will see blue guidelines. If you don't see them, go to view - extras - guides. Within those blue guidelines you can create the coloured boxes (1x1, 2x1, 3x1, etc.). Make sure you respect the 10px spaces between the boxes. The only thing you need to do is edit the text and replace the icons.
When you have the layout you want, you go to "File" - "Save for web and devices" - select the slice you want to save and hit the save button
Save those images to a folder on your SD card.
Now you longpress on your screen and add widgets for DV. For example (and this may sound weird) if you want to add a 1x1 widget, select the 2x1 option, assign app, clear text in label and ok.
Then you resize the widget with the resize widget function of LPP or ADW (above, our example had a size of 2x1) to 1x1. If you want to add a 3x1 widget, select DV widget site 4x1 and resize it to 3x1.
For the dock you can take a transparent icon for each of the five positions, the last (which is over the circle arrow) can be used to open up the appdrawer. This works in LPP, no idea how that works in ADW
Procedure without photoshop:
Click the Iconpack gallery link and pick what you want, follow last 4 steps above.
Enjoy!
PS: post your screenshot please. would love to see everyone's modifications. mikecoffee had a pretty nifty take on the "Windows Phone 7" layout with an LCARS theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787060

6 Widgets in each 7 colors:
GenieWidget (weather/news)
Smooth Calendar
Music
Settings (toggle wifi, data, GPS, etc...)
SMS Unread Widget
Digital Clock Widget

Instructions:
Unzip, decide which color you want and save that .apk
Do a nandroid backup
Pull current .apk, and push new .apk to /system/app with ADB (search forums for more info on how to use this)

back to photoshop now...

Zooper Widget from 1.80 supports Bitmap Iconsets and allows you to create your own! What it means? It means that you can create widgets with Bitmaps able to change based on ZW variables such as Battery, Weather, Location or anything else!
Important This thread is for Iconsets only, if you want to share themes and screens please use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277966
So? Well, you can create a widget with the background that changes based on your location like Google Now does, or show a different image during the day and another at night, or use a bitmap when alarm is set and another when there is no alarm, you can create battery widgets, weather or even show bitmaps based on Tasker variables (and LLama soon). You can also mix all this things up in an unique icon pack with user selectable "modes".
Iconsets are basically ZIP files with an XML configuration and Bitmaps or a TTF font. You can distribute Iconsets alone (this is supported in both free and pro) storing them in the "iconsets" directory on the SD card or you can distribute a template using it, iconset will be included automatically during save.

No i didn't, but its quite easy to do if you have the icons, just:
- Download the weather iconset attached to the main post
- Uncompress it, replace the images with the sense icons
- If you want add more conditions if you have icons not currently in use
- Zip it again and place it in the SD card under "Iconsets"
You will then be able to use it in Zooper Widget, just add a "Bitmap Iconset" object and select your new iconset!

First off, thanks to johnuopini for letting me beta / help out with the widget.
Here are a couple of Icon Sets and examples of them in action. The first is a HoloUI / Google Now combination. It contains custom made battery and charging icons as well as Google Now inspired weather icons.
The second is a minimal Wifi Signal strength meter. It defaults to a cell signal icon when wifi is not available, therefore it may not be the best choice for non-cellular devices. Feel free to modify it for your own uses.
I'm working on creating a windows app which will automate the majority of the coding for making the icon sets. I'll be working with johnuopini / frenzy and only post when he's satisfied with it. Everything I do will go through him.
I hope you enjoy my icon sets. Free to use, distribute, and modify, preferably with credit. I'll post more when I have a chance.
Here are a few screenshots of the widget in action
(please note that this is combined with a windows phone style launcher called launcher 8. Every tile other than the two largest, and the tiles which are just a single image, is a seperate zooper widget)

if there is ever an error in the weather widget it will show an empty battery as the default image if it does let me know what the weather is supposed to be you can find this out the checking the #W_CODE# output using the text module. Let me know what image messes up and I'll loom at the config to verify that there are no typos. This is a complete set based on googles images, I may update it later with new but matching images.

Great work! This is occupying most of my screen space now! One issue though, my battery is at about 87% and its showing time left as ~50m which is wrong because my battery lasts at least 3 hours with heavy use. Other then that it looks fantastic!

Can you post a screenshot?
Regarding the battery strange, are you using the latest version, did you give the widget at least 1/2 days to get a good accuracy on the battery estimation?

Yes its updated and I've been using it for about a day now. No need for new screenshot, its similar to the one in the 1st post. See how it shows your battery at 99% but time remaining is <10m . I think what its doing is showing the time remaining to reach 100% when charging...but when unplugged, I think it should show time remaining before the battery hits 0%. Not really an error or bug, just the way I think it should work. :good:

Ok, i'll send you an email, but would you mind posting a screenshot showing the time remaining when unplugged along with battery %? Right now mine says " Discharging 69% , ~30M LEFT ". even though at 69% my battery will last for a good 3 hours more...

I am trying to use one of the iconsets but they do not come up as one of the options. I created the path /mnt/sdcard/Iconsets and saved the zip files to that location but they do not show up. Only choices I get are what I am assuming are the three default choices.
What am I doing wrong?

I don't know if its required or not, but in "/mnt/sdcard/Iconsets" you have Iconsets capitalized, that MAY cause an issue, but I don't know it it does. The zip files themselves go in that directory, do not extract them. Also Make sure that the Zip was downloaded correctly and contains a config file and a folder structure consistent to what is designated in the config file (usually a single 'icons' folder).

I have tried upper and lower case still no go. The iconset files are downloaded straight from the OP with no mods. They look to have the xml and icon folder as required.
edit: Duh! my fault I was trying to use scalable instead of bitmap, all works fine. I really like this widget good job!

I attached the screenshot...Notice that it shows time left as ~40M, signifying that my battery will only last another 40 minutes, even though I am still at 91% charge. It should be saying at least 2 hours left. Other than that I'm loving the widgets so far!

This is quite strange, please try clearing the cache for the widget, rebooting your phone and give it a full discharge cycle, it should show better data then, if not then send an email to [email protected] so we can debug the issue.
