Fancy a new start screen? Try this! - Windows Phone 8 General

Lets just make this a general thread, because I've put some work in to this for a couple months and I wasn't too sure what to do with it over in /w/, but here it will get a good following and might be able to do the same at WPCentral.
Feel free to post yours, as I've not done this yet, but it's on my to-do list!
Anyways, I'll start by linking my pastebin and attaching a picture that sums everything else up.
Please note this also includes WP7 for people who might have gotten one as a hand-me-down/free phone.

Also If you have an ATIV S, ATIV S NEO, or an ATIV Odyssey, you can set your own custom accent colors by using SamWP8 Tools and flipping over to the tweak tab. (You must be InteropUnlocked for this to work!)

Here's some examples taken from the latest thread!

Hey I was able to install UCBrowser from
@thal1992
http://pastebin.com/LGrYGGzz :UC Browser - Jailbreak edition - This app is actually an external web browser that works like Opera Mini, but you can install xaps with it.
http://www.ucweb.com/index.html
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
on my 928. The browser is fully functional and when downloading a .xap file instead of the enterprise apps error I get the trust UCBrowser in WP7 RootTools. No interop cap in the WMAppManifest (not my doing, downloaded this way)yet there is a separate InteropManifest. If only we could put to use the ComXapHandler and WP7RootToolsSDK .dll's contained in the app in the manner they were created for... Any ideas?

How to use - To add just drag into My Documents or Windows folders on PPC
You will have to post some screenshots to be convincing.
your right...but i dont have a prgram that takes screenshots...-_-
That's the lamest excuse that I can thought of. You can
(a) say you'll do it later
(b1) get a PPC screen shot program (freeware)
(b2) get a PC screen shot program (freeware)
(c) get a theme maker to load it (freeware)
(d) just save the preview from www.pocketpcthemes.com (e.g. where you got it). Or point a link to it.
(e) just being lazy and describe about it (which car the theme is, body parts of the car, .. or just say it is car theme?)
(f) say something and heck care about it.
Nice choice.

Funy Today Screens (.TSK) Thread

Not sure if I've made this in the right forum but here goes.
Had a Vario/Wizard just over a month now and I've decided to have a go at making some today themes. Been browsing for them for ages and could never find anything I liked.
Here is my first theme. (Hopefully of many to come) Im starting with easy on the eye themes that arent going mad in the background and distract from using the today screen for what its for. Hope everyone likes it and will post a couple more later in the week if i get a chance.

Its a nice one. U should post more of these simple and nice looking themes.
thats the plan, just found that most themes ive found so far are a bit "busy" and make it hard to see whats on screen. Will hopefully have a few more to post in a few days.
Am i allowed to make xda-developer themed ones? (Mods/admins?)

Just posted a green one and a pink one (for the girls....if there are any here )

tsk files
what do i do with tsk files?? lol i kno im a noob. can someone message me back?
Copy the .tsk to your phone (preferably into the same location as other .tsk files, which for most file managers will be the "My Documents" directory).
Use ANY file manager including the default File Explorer to find it on your Wizard.
Double click the file and it'll open the default theme selector app for WM5, and select the new title.
Bob's your uncle.
thanks
thanks man apreciate it
appologies everyone for the screenshots being down, recently replace my web site managed to delete the screen shots, i have restored a backup now so you can see them.
I will try and get some new themes up soon for WM6

iPhone theme -very easy to install/use and most important download :)

I don't know if I am breaking any laws of this forum - if so, I would ask moderators and admins to delete this post ASAP.

It shows very good iPhone look a like skin...
Try it out for yourself and let us know what was your experience.

Not sure I understand what this thread is all about? It seems to have been posted today (or have I got this wrong?) but points to software which has been being used for months and referred to in various threads?
Is there something I am missing here or have you actually published an .ini file somewhere which lets users use all those icons (by pointing the iTunes icon to windows media player etc)? Or have you managed to get the sking to run on start up or have you managed to get the slider to hog less memory?
Please tell us what is going on in this thread!

SpoonDo! - a small utility for managing Outlook Tasks

Hi all,
I created a small tool that wraps the Outlook tasks in a finger friendly UI.
I'm using tasks a lot, and using the 'SpoonDo!' I can see them in categories, sorted by their due dates.
The navigation between categories is simple and on top of that, there's a special fictive category with all the urgent tasks.

More information in the Mobile Spoon blog.
Enjoy!

Seems nive and useful! I'll try it!
Thanks gil.
EDIT: The download link in the page you reported points to SpoonXMLEditor.
EDIT: I tried the download image and it works.

this is very nice and i like it ! although my ThumbCal has a fingerfriendly taskmanagment and im not sure if i need another one.
Any chance of changing language, maybe with a txt-file ?
Thanks.
I guess I can make it localizable.
There's a list of improvements I would like to perform, I will include it as well.
Was unusable...
Just tried to install it on my Diamond....
I have around 250 tasks, it took over a minute just to get into the program...
Wow!
Wow! Such a cool app! Really finger-friendly and a very nice replacement for the Outlook Mobile Tasks... Thx!
Yet I have one question:
Is there a way to edit the categories?
When creating a new task it is possible to create a new category as well but deleting categories seems to be impossible...!
Is there a way to do that?
And then I figured out that if you use commas "," in the category name the category will be split into two (or more) categories in Outlook where the the first name is the part left of the comma and the second name is the part right of the comma. A little bug?

[10.24.08][DEV] OpenMenu - an LGMenu Clone

Hi all!
REQUEST
I've been working on this using Basic4PPC, and it's coming along quickly and nicely. But, I'm using the unregistered version!
I initially wanted to charge a tiny fee for the app, but I have a better idea. If I could get donations to get a proper license for Basic4PPC, then I'll release it and any subsequent versions and updates as freeware instead. Hell, I'll open source the buggers.
In addition to this, it means I finally have a development platform I can use to make the apps that I've always wanted to. I have the skills, just need the tools: so you can get more apps in the future!

Another day, another application I'm working on.
I have an LG KS20, and one of the coolest parts of this phone is the LGMenu. It's great! But the issue is: there is no customisation whatsoever! So I decided I was going to create something instead.
Currently working on the application itself, using holder graphics.
What would you nice people like to see in this application?
Customisation is a must, as well as skinability.
But what else?
Hi!
I like the LGMenu as well but didn't use it because it's not customizable. Therefore your effort is highly appreciated
Some ideas (see attachments):
- an integrated appointments view would be nice
- scrollable icon view
yy what replace skin for programms menu?
Being able to add wallpapers to the background, man, that'd be the best.
dude, if you like B4P buy the app, Erel put a lot of time in it
I did and i didn't even ask other people for money
+1 for scrollable icons
I think this would be most useful.
greets doena
I'm being paid on Tuesday, and I *will* be purchasing B4PPC. So shush.
