After getting TF3D to work exactly how I liked, I decided to make it look the way I like it as well.
I've started to find out how to modify the interface and spent quite some hours on creating my own theme now.
Once version 1 is complete, I will create a CAB and upload it here for all to enjoy.
From there I might modify it here and there, depending on my own liking and your feedback.
Current Features:
- Custom background
- Downscaled, modified clock.
- Invisible Sliderbar
- Modified, glowing Slider
- Altered Program launcher menu buttons
- Modified upper curtain
- Custom Icons
- Semitransparent, silver highlights.
To-do list:
- Camera Tab
- Stock Tab
- Settings Tab
- Dialer
Feedback is appreciated, stay tuned!
EDIT: Removed old preview, added new one!
NOTE: This preview turns out a little darker than it does on the phone itself!
little too gothic imo
yeah come on man the world economic crisis is depressing enough...
but good effort looks very nice

Click to collapse
That's a bit harsh.
I did not intend it to be gothic. I liked the mountains behind the lake at night on the background picture. Added the moon and clouds to that, as it nicely fits the theme. From there I built the rest.
I do not consider a lake at night "gothic" - but that's my view.
How do you think I can improve it then? By lighting up the clock a bit?
Black and blue, shots of the moon ect do tend to come across a bit gothic. Added to that the font for the clock looks like tombstone engravings. All a bit dark and gloomy for me, but its good to see themes being made.
Alright, I'm going to put some color in there. I think the clock is a major contributor to the "gloomy" part.
Looks very good!
I think it looks good as is too! I didn't think it was too "gothic" or "gloomy" but I tend to prefer darker colors on the today screen and TF3D.
Regardless, very nice work thus far!
sorry if that sounded harsh, dark themes are nice but sometimes it gets a little too "dark"
New preview!
I found that adding other colors just made it look rediculous. Thus, to make it less gloomy, I added silver and glow effects, which still fit the theme.
You can compare them by viewing the attachments. feedback!
Excellent.
You probably gonna kill me for this but any chance of a landscape mod for this also ?? or is that way to much code ?
landscape mode will be very hard to add, we just made first step in mode9 file editing few days ago so expect long time before landscape support
anyway, the theme is cool but that 1 pixel line in middle of clock is ugly... as ugly (I suspect) will be the flipping clock animation. I'm working on sprint clock version for manilaHD, hope you like it when (if ) will be ready I had same issue with my manila customization

Well, yeah. the line is kind-of bothersome and the animation looks kind-of borky. But on the phone itself, it doesn't bother me as much. The animation looks fair and the line, well, sure, if you keep staring at the screen all the time, looking for something wrong, yes.
If, however, you find a way to fix it, do tell me.
About the landscape, it has to be coded in first, when that's done, sure I can skin it, the files already exist. Just need to have the code!
Nice work!! I don't think it looks gothic at all. Its all SEXIFIED!!! LOL
sure, I mean about code landscape, once coded has to be skinned same way as other manila parts
about the clock, manila it's a mess, for now i'm able to have sprint clock but only 1 appointment in home (like diamond) but I want all 4 appointment as manila HD can do. But again, who programmed manila shoul be [censored]
To be honest, I like it a lot. If/When I get an X1, I'll either be looking for something like this, or a nice beach scene theme-wise.
My only gripe that comes to mind is that horizontal line in the middle of the clock numbers. Does that have to be there?

Due to the way manila is coded, at this time I cannot remove it. It is less visible on the phone itself though, so it's not a big deal.

One of my favorite aspects so far is the theme can be easily "customized" by changing the background to almost anything else, and everything else still looks nice.
I'm trying to figure out how to change the top bar.. I'd like to change it to black, but still keep that kind of "3D" look that it has now unlike the other themes ive seen which have a flat black top bar.
The AIM icon can be fixed up a little bit, It came out a little more grey than i wanted.
What i'd like, but i dont know how it would work would be above the icons i have on the bottem id like a sliding bar (kind of hard to explain, it should look something like [ ] [ ] [ ] ) and each one of those boxes will be a picture that when hit will act a speed dial. Preferably id like the boxes to be greyscale till pressed and held down it turns to color.. Anyone know if this can be done?
Suggestions, Ideas, Feedback welcome..
Great!!
Keep up this work!
I like.... Keep it going!
excellent theme, very nice. for the bottom bar u can probably use throttle launcher? have u tried it?

I don't know if that's what ur looking for, but throttle launcher is very highly customizable with the option to add contacts:

I like it so far. I think that the clock text (12:06 AM) should look nicer if its smoothed out. The edges look really pixelated. Some way to make the text flow with the theme would definately be a plus.
i think it would look great with a flat black bar. also, if you integrated some sort of icon(s) showing if BT or wifi is on, this theme would be bomb.
Go for it bro....

I think im going to go for the flat black bar as kind of a last resort, It may possibly look fine. However, I like the bar that it has much better. I just want it to be black.
BT and Wifi icons can be done.. I will work on putting that in there.
thats looks real nice when you gonna release it? are you gonna do a big cab file with all the files or just the theme
Definitely worth developing, love how it looks!

Can't remember exactly where it is, but to get black bars (black with the 3d effect) you need to change the "BaseHue" value to 160... I can't remember where in the registry that is, but it's somewhere! I'll dig it up when i have the time...

Yeah, If you could find that for me i'd really appreciate it. Thanks
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Color]
"BaseHue"=dword:160
That should give you black bars, but without the flatness

Hi,
I'm proud to announce a new game especially made for the Diamond...
Caver is based on a black&white game I played years ago on a Palm...
The difference: my game uses the g-sensor to navigate your ball through the cave...

Features:
- Online Highscore list!
- Different difficulty levels
- Build your own levels simply by creating png files! (a howto will follow - but I think it's pretty self-explanatory... just look in the gfx/Level 1 folder and build your own levels according to my example level... and don't forget: POST THEM HERE!! The levels don't have to be black and white... everything that's white is a valid zone for the ball)
- Highscore list
- Calibration of g-sensor
Todo list:
- Special zones where you get more points
- Obstacles you have to fire in order to pass
- Adding options to adjust the tilt sensor sensitivity for non-online highscore mode

jea! nice!
downloading, will try and let you now
It's nice, but..after game over I every time have to restart the game since it simply just won't go back to the splash screen?
OW ow I can see the well designed pieces of art coming when making levels as PNG is possible.
But as you are developing, you say the ball goes on the white. Its a pity for levelmakers to NEED white, it doesn't look good. Making a road for instance you want textures in your png.,
So:
Can't you make, in future, usage of a black and white layer? Or white and other colors (speed down, speed up )
Nice idea! Only kinda small levels when i look at the png files. (not installed the game tho) can you make it so we can make wider levels so the game scrols?
I can't steer the ball, keeps going in 1 direction ...
do you have isntructions?

this is a know limitation right now. I just wanted you to present the first version as soon as possible and then spend time in making it better and adjust it to your needs... Next version can restart/change levels without exiting the whole game...

Yeah, this thought already came to me, too... I will try to change the "valid" color to magenta (for example) and make all parts of the image, that are magenta, transparent so the levelmakers can make custom backgrounds and are not bound to the white one...
The speed down, speed up feature sound's good... so I need at least 3 valid colors (normal speed, speed up, speed down...) I will try and let you know...

Downloading ASAP
Thanks very much this is what ive been waiting for! (aside for official Elite3.0)
Luck fellasss
Agree with akido, when "game over" it doesn't return to the menu, so you'll have to restart the game.
I'm also having problems controlling the ball. It moves, but not very well. Sometimes it seems to move in the correct direction, but it just keeps accelerating until it hits a wall.
I have tried to change the settings of sensitivity, velocity and radius, but no luck...
It's really unresponsive on the steering input by tilting, even set on easy.
And it doesn't remeber the chosen settings.
Neat idea, keep on!!
Agree with all the comments. It's a really nice idea, and I love the concept!
I'd like to see more responsiveness on the controls, and it might make it nicer if you were in control of a helicopter or some other "flying machine" rather than a ball...
No reponse
Same here, it doesn't really repsonse very well even after I have changed it to easy, it's not like the Tweeter game.
I'm sure he'll fix it, I really like his idea.
This game is fun D:!
I have it for the macbook pro aswell you move the laptop around too, great fun during class D:<!
v0.2 released!! for details/download look at the first page

1. now you can restart the game
2. the controll of the ball should now be better... Please try it... My intention is not to make it "like Teeter" because Caver is a different game, but I agree that the ball should react smoothly and in a correct way...

hi..
v0.2 is not working for me om NL1.37 ROM. Didn't had the chance to try v0.1.
But after installing and clicking the icon everything is fine, but when hitting the start button game won't start.. error!
A soft reset didn't solved the problem..
Any idea ageye what could be the problem?
damn,i propably know the cause.i think a bg.png file is missing in level 1 folder.im not on my computer now.i'll fix that in about 9 hours
thx for the info and sorry

Fixed version online! See first page!
Have fun with it
I gave this theme creating thingy a try.. And since I like it a lot, I thought I'd share it.
I like very subtle changes, so I took the standard icons and used photoshop to make them appear a bit like shiny plastic icons. The only things changed are the 20 icons, nothing more. The other tweaks (no curtains, crystal clock, etc) I used from other posters here at XDA.
I hope you like it. If you do, feel free to use it, rebuild it, change it, whatever.

Yes, it's that easy
Please note I have built this based on the standard icon set on my phone, I can't (and won't) guarantee that this will work on your phone. I'm running the latest stock Dutch ROM (2.03.404.3) with TF3D v3.0.
Edit: Created 3 Clocks that (sort of ) match this theme:
Sandeman Plastic Clock v0.1
Sandeman Plastic Clock 2 v0.1
Sandeman Plastic Clock 3 v0.1
Nicely done dude

Really beautiful!
We would like a clock!
I was afraid someone would say that
I had thought of that myself, but I can't seem to get the clock quite right... But it annoys me enough to keep trying
If I manage to create something decent I'll post it here
Nice job!!!

I tried to create something that sort of matches the icons... I'm not quite happy with it but maybe you are... For now I'm sticking with the crystal clock
Installation instructions (and disclaimers ) are the same as the main icon theme in the first post...
Edit, included the cab in the first post.
beautiful, but it would be wonderful if there were only numbers!

So true. Since the slider tabs on the bottom doesn't have the background, the clock would look better without the background or you could add the background to the slider tabs to match the clock.
Either way it a very nice theme. Nice work.
Hmmm, yes that's what's wrong with it... I couldn't really put my finger on it
I think putting the clock's background behind the icons will become quite messy (also the colors are too close). I'll have a look if I can create 2 new ones this weekend.
One with a transparent background (like the crystal one) and one with a black background (for everyone that doesn't use a dark wallpaper)...
new clocks?
Nope, I have barely touched my computer this weekend.
I hope to find some time this week
Wow... awesome theme.
Good job and the clock is very suitable for the theme
THX for sharing
nice work dude!
you didn't just put a plastic wrap filter on the icons did you? seems like cheating..
LOL, plastic wrap was indeed one of the (4 or 5) actions, but definitely not the only one. You're free to try and reproduce them
There was some embossing, a couple of levelling actions and color replacing involved too
The clock was a lot harder. I won't bore you with the details
Ok, I created two new clocks. The first one (Sandeman Plastic Clock 2 v0.1) is the same as the previous one, only without the backgrounds and I've lightened the numbers a bit. Personally I don't like it, but maybe someone does...
The second one (Sandeman Plastic Clock 3 v0.1) is the same, but this time I stole the transparent background from the crystal clock.
This one I do like... A lot, using it right now
Also added to the start post, including the .cab files.
Here we have Black Kandi for VGA Devices Portrait and Landscape supported. I have included both 'VOLUME' and 'LOUD' buttons in both states, use whichever you prefer.
I have also included alternate taskbars as it was mentioned over at the lakeridge forums that some people may prefer a solid blue line on the taskbar.
When in portrait, you will probably need to disable the clock because if you have more than 4 icons showing the clock goes over the top of the start button. Works fine in landscape though. This is my first full WA3 theme so lots of feedback would be much appreciated.

It's really awesome!Thank you!

CONGRATULATIONS : great work and very nice skin, i love it !
I have 2 requests :
Is it possible for you to make the same with red lines instead of blue ?
At the bottom the blue line is cut in the middle : could you make a unique line from left to right ?
Thanks a lot,
Bottom bars now available in 1st post, both portrait and landscape.
as for the other colours i'm currently working on:
GREEN (To match standard TF3D), ORANGE, RED, YELLOW, and PINK!
Looks really nice from the pics. what is WA3 though? & how to install this?
woow looks very nice!! but what is wa3?
Wisbar Advance 3: Click here
Yes I find it looks better now with the full line.
So, i'll wait for the new colors,
THANKS for your answer !
Green version now added
Pretty amazing. Thanks
this ia a awesome theme
EDIT: My apologies, I've figured out the issue with installing it - for others who are curious, download the WA3 cab file and install it, download the theme, extract it and copy it to your phone. With WA3 running, click on the menu button and go to settings. Once there click themes > wisbar theme. In the lower pane select "Install" from the menu items. Navigate to the folder with the theme - the WA3 file should be shown in the list (BlackKandi), click this and press "OK" in the top corner.
EDIT 2: OK I have finally found my way around WA3 however there is an annoying little issue I'm having with the top panel icons. They align perfectly fine except for a slightly bigger gap between the Start icon and the following icon. This causes the display to look slightly off. I'm a bit of a perfectionist I kinda notice it like its a huge gap! Also this causes the final two icons to be too close together.
Another thing I have noticed is the "Connected" icon - when connected its fine however when I remove my usb connection - it displays the silly icon instead of Itext which is not very eye pleasing (this may be because i don't use 3g or gprs connections). However I don't particularly need this icon so if the gap is fixed then I'd be happy enough as I think the them is fantastic.
yeah thats how it is supposed to be used, well thats how it was intended lol
go to wisbar settings>taskbar then select 'clock' and make sure the checkbox isnt ticked
then select 'window title' make sure the checkbox isnt ticked
i like the theme a lot but i dislike wa3 to be honest
what are your reasons for disliking wa3?

please could i see a screenshot? i'm not sure what you mean. as for the not connected icon, there is a setting to display nothing when disconnected. you need to apply this setting. when making the icons the word 'disconnected' was too long to fit on a button and didn't look right. then when i thought about it, i realised i didnt use it anyway lol. hope this helps
Ok i finally corrected all the issues - a simple case of uninstalling everything and reinstalling. I installed the Blue theme this time with the sound files, for a change lol. All is perfectly fine now - now bigger gaps and nothings is too close together.
I love the theme, its great. It works really well with the TF3D and is a good change from the rather cluncky default windows task bar. Obviously the core windows functions are still present (and looking terrible) but i guess this is something they will fix with windows mobile 7. Or atleast thats what i believe ... its microsoft after all ...
yeah its a shame, i'd skin everything if i could lol. glad you like it. it took me a while to make it but i'm more than happy with the outcome
Apologies for not saying thanks in my previous post as this certainly deserves it. It's definatly an ace theme, one i'm sure many people will like. Well Done!
wonderful.great.Would you also please made one in red syle?
I started a new post because the other template wallpaper threads are not accurate. This template will not scale and has layers of both landscape and portrait home screen outlines. I also made a layer with the landscape icon grid for adjusting backgrounds to match icon placement.
I made this template through trial and error.
The template is in .psd format.
There are 6 layers.
- 1 Landscape homepage outline (Green)
- 2 Portrait homepage outline (Red)
- 3 Landscape Icon Grid (White)
- 4 Test border (Red) used to test borders.
- 5 Wallpaper Dead Space (Greenish, used to show dead space)
- 6 Background (Dark Grey)
To use in GIMP. After opening template, goto file, open as layer. make sure opened layer is between 4 & 5th layers. Align, turn off visibility to all layers but 5 & 6, then save as a png.
Upload to tab and use stock Gallery and stretch as far as possible.
Again, the green is dead space, it will not appear once loaded.

Google Storage with More Images
I just removed the other images, they are too big, they can be found at the link above.
Great work, Honeycomb's useless wallpaper picker is my biggest complaint with it, this will be very helpful.
Cool
Excactly what I needed!
thanks a lot, lot lot, very good work
very useful !!!!
i was gonna use your template to make my own wallpaper, but I found the one you made with the record and it was pretty much what I was gonna make anyway, so I totally stole it! Seriously though, thanks a bunch! you are awesome.
Post an image or a link, and I'll make a wallpaper and post it. Has to be at least 1920x1080.
1920x1200 works better if you use portrait mode.
Glad to hear it's getting used.
Give me some thanks if you like it.
Much appreciated.

Some of the ROMs have different borders, let me know.
i found on my Iconia very strange behavior
ROM HV 1.2 with Richard's Kernel 3.4
I just took one of your wallpapers (i tried as well others) and put on my home screen and directly after that i saw small pieces of those green corners on my tablet in every corner - but only on the last left or right screen - in landscape - in portrait was ok.
But after reboot - green pieces where gone and the wallpaper looks great.
Strange.

Hi, Scott,
I have tried to use your template here but I'm not having any luck getting this to do what I want, I have attached the image would you be so kind as taking a look at it and if possible fitting it to within your template. I would like it to be perfectly centered so that if in landscape or portrait it is perfectly in the middle, with a light blue background on the image.
Thanks for looking at this.
No Problem
Hope this works, I took some liberties.
The easiest way to get an image is to open it some sort of editor and make the dimensions 1918 x 1406.
My template was for the original ROM, I have since change several times and for whatever reason, each ROM is a little different. I believe the template I used was right, but if not let me know what the issues is, namely some of the green is showing up and I will see what i can do.
If you like, hit the 'Thanks' button.
Scott

Those are all awesome. I do have some green... In Landscape, I have some green on the bottom in the far right and left screen. In Portrait I have green on the bottom on all screens
I also notice that when I expand the crop picture the interior lines do not match up to the edge of the green, should they?
Thanks
Harold

Wallpapers
I redid the book Wallpapers and created the beach wallpapers.
The beach ones don't work well because the focal point is not centered and the entire purpose of the template is to not rescale an image and lose definition, I am not really interested in doing something that can be done in Paint. Take 20 mins and figure it out, or better yet, take 5 mins and Google the right resolution.
and this is the right resolution? 1920 x 1408??

thanks!!
Just load it then.
I thin the actual no scaling resolution is 1918x1406, but it won't matter fro that image because it's not HD.

Yes you are correct. The correct resolution of the wallpaper for the A500 is 1920x1408. Not sure where others are getting their information from, but the wallpapers that come stock with the A500 are ALL 1920x1408.
Damn kjy, wish I would have had that info long ago.
I got my dimensions by trial and error, using a magnifying glass to see exactly where the borders were, looks like i was off a pixel or two.
Thanks for the info and sorry nitudo for giving out bad info.
you rock! thanks for this..

He he all you had to do was go into the launcher2.apk, pull one of the stock wallpapers out, and open it in Photoshop to get the correct Res.
