Hello
OblyTile does not support Wide Tiles.
Maybe wide tiles will be supported by OblyTile in future.
Hope this helps

You can create your own 512x512 tiles which will cover the background. A good simple program called "Gimp" can be used to create tiles. Google it.

The Icons are graphics and you can found them in windowsFolder. think you have to change the colors of the graphics an then put it back in windows folder.
Yes, it is rltoday running inside UltimateLaunch. Soon as I get it all figured out I will post everything.

i see u like the styling of Bell&Ross lol
Yes, I do like the styling of Bell&Ross. I made the skin for Retro clock and just kept on going.
Thanks for everyones help but tracking down those icons is not as easy as it sounds. So I decided to go a new direction using Wisbar Advance Desktop.
Wow, nice job with the design... looks great.
nice! this was your best option as the signal bars take the background color, so even if you found the required icons, you'd need to change your background for your windows to blue in order to get everything to match.
you cant find the icons because there are none. to edit the colors of the signal bars, data arrows, etc.. you have to edit .dll files. i cant remember which .dll files off the top of my head but i think one of them is tapre96.dll somethin like that. use reshacker to edit the .dll files

nice find on the cab, but a couple of similiar cabs have already been posted in the skins thread for manilla 2d. You can also manually edit the xml and change rows and columns number in the launcher widget area, the only limit I found was when I tried to make a single column, touchflo would quit and have to be reloaded. For rows I have 20 currently.
Thinks !!!!!!!

Flash Pimp Clock

Loved the original idea from here:

}
Its basicly a different visual clock, to read the hours see the left vertical columns and for the minutes see the right 5-rows columns.
The PDF on the site above explains it better...
To use:
---------
- 5 colors to choose from, just press the bottom bar to change colors.
- If you prefer a 12-hour clock, simply click the left numbers after 13h.
- Exit with enter (keypad) or by pressing the top-right area.
- See the "normal" digital clock and date by pressing anywhere else on the screen.
Notes:
-------
- Needs FLASH 7, if it doesnt exit properly, you dont have it.
- Attached the CAB, already with the WM6.5 icon on install.
- Also added a separated swf file, to see it run on your NOKIA, PC or Throttle Launcher..
Enjoy.
Nice idea
Love it! thanks!
it would be cool if it can be a screensaver.
thanks twolf!
WQVGA issue omnia
just wondering if there's a way to make the excess screen on my omnia to default BLACK- then your app would be awesome
maybe even add function buttons - there's some promising update potential
awesome clock - would it be possible to simulate the look of a recessed L.E.D.?
looks good on my armband at the CLUB!!!
Great...very cool with the color options!
Sorry, the software I use for the EXE only allows VGA/QVGA, he doesnt even allow any extra options for the size or screen color.
Use flash pimp clock
I need a macromediaflash for use it. someone can help me?
found it
Yes, yes my first app for the htc diamond.
it`s fantastic........... I`m cry
Standalone app?
Just wondering... what is the program you are using for these standalone apps? I could probably use the same thing to make my own FlashGadgets play as standalones, which would make them work across a broader series of device platforms. Please check out my thread, and tell me what you think. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630985

Windows 8 Live Tiles Help Needed

Hello guys i just installed windows 8 preview to be able to see the progress made so far. I have a small question is it possible to edit the icon of a live tile to make it full resolution since it looks really weird like the image below

I dont thing so....i thing its down automatically
You cant do it with normal settings in Windows 8 ^^
i see oh well then thanks for the information mate
You can't but when Windows 8 hits RTM the icons will be bigger , they look a lot better
Hi, I'm searching a way for having live tiles too. I've done some kind of research in my thread, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1707172
Unfortunately, none of those idea work yet
Currently applications living in the Win32 world don't have any access to the WinRT side of the system. As they don't know anything about the existence of Live Tiles they also can't feed them with data.
If that is what you meant by "Live Tile" - a tile that actually IS LIVE.
If you want to change the Icon only this might be what you're looking for: http://www.gohacking.com/2008/10/how-to-change-icon-of-exe-file.html
That solution might geht reversed whenever the .exe is overwritten during an update of the Application, some Applications (Skype for example or games) do an integrity check on launch which is likely to fail when the exe gets modified and lastly updates of applications might fail due to incremental updates and again a modified exe file. So my suggestion would be to create a backup before trying this out. Should solve your problem though (and if it still works like in XP were the first icon in the exe file is used this explains why you don't find a way in the registry, etc. to change it).
I probably explained it badly, the aim is not to have a live tile but a mere static one, making it more aesthetically coherent with WIN8 metro apps..
As somebody wrote above the Icons should be bigger in the RTM version as Microsoft is still working on parts of the UI - we'll have to see.
As for actually changing them, did you try my suggestion or didn't that lead to any new conclusions?
I can not change icon in screen

[ICONS] Android Design scalable font

So they are Android action bar icons from http://developer.android.com/design/downloads/index.html converted to font.
You can use it as any other font with Zooper - that means, you can scale and color it in any way you like.
There's no logical order, but attached character map should help.
You should be able easilly use it with standard Google Keyboard.
If you want request some new icons or suggest improvements, feel free to message me.
Enjoy
