New free tool: Start Screen Unlimited for Windows 8 - Windows 8 General

Hi All,
We're just finishing the new free utility made specially for Windows 8.
It works OVER THE TOP of Windows Start Screen with tiles.
There is no system files changes or patching.
This version does not work for RT, only for Windows 8 or 8.1.
It gives you a clock, a direct google search, power menu, etc.
Download startscreenunlimited.com
I have no rights to publish the post to the developers section. Sorry.
I'm interested in testers and feedback.
Thank you!
Dmitry

Ok, now it works, thanks!
I like it and I don't have any slow response, neither need I to click it twice, it just works when I click menus.
The only problem I have is that the icon to drag the widget isn't transparent. Here is what I get on my purple start menu :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Thank you!
Sorry. It is not possible to make it transparent because otherwise it does not capture the mouse events.
I will check the "response problem".

I see. But isn't it possible to use a two-images system in that case?
One image for the real icon, and the other one (non-transparent then) for the collision which will trigger the mouse click event.

hi, I would rather see it the other way: or own skins in PointUI! At least the color, the icons and shortcuts to own applications.
just put new screenshot with pressed icon
great progress
With the black skin coming out for PointUI soon, would there be any chance of getting a black version? this looks great.
im almost done with this skin, i almost got no time to work on it, but ill see what i can do, i promise nothin, maybe some one else could do that,
and ill maybe release the skin tomorrow becuz im ready with all the settings and i only need a few graphics to make
cheers

			
				
Wow!!! That's a great addition to the PointUI interface. It looks great. Everything matches nicely.
Great job you have done here. Many many thanks for your effort, tomazez.

one thing change the filter part that out the question mark and add a filter icon.
Yes I agree with aih1977 plus the red dot for closing to say a red cross to tie in with pointui, and change speech bubble to a lighter/darker blue. And you need an icon for original contacts app.

S2U2 Device Lock Today Plugin

Hello again my dear friends,
As you might installed and worked with S2U2 (aka Slide 2 Unlock), you would see lack of an item like standard windows mobile's Device Lock item.
First I developed an managed one (I mean using .net compact framework). As far as it can take more memory space and has less functionality, I coded a new application in pure C++.
I have tested this application on WM 6.0 and great TNT WM 6.1 on my device (Wizard).
I hope you enjoy using it.
I would be really glad to hear from you. So please post your ideas and comments.
Thank you.
Note:
1- Second file is customized for one of the XDA users.
2- Third file is made to fix the version 2.02 compatibility.
how does it work?
i've installed it...and now what?
how do i access it?
let's check it out...downloading now

Your post is not very clear.
What you're created is a Today Plugin to invoke S2U2, am I right?
Maybe you can add a screenshot?

Just install it on your Device (not your storage card). Then go to Start>Settings>Today>Items
there you should see S2U2 Device Lock item. Make sure it is selected and then press OK and close Today.
Now you should have a new item added to your Today Screen.

I did. I does what it has to do.
I already assigned S2U2 to a softkey, so I'm not using it currently.
But for people who want this on their Today Screen, it's perfect.
Great work ...
now I can free a softkey for other application ....
Excellent work..will try it now
Thanks for your posts and comments.

This is a nice fix, but I accomplish the same thing by adding the shortcut to HTC Home or claunch.

Simply brilliant. A bigger icon won't be a bad idea.

[REQ] a TF3D tab for Plugs-in... Please, please, please

Hi!
My diamond will be perfect if i find the way to create a tab who can support plug in (like today agenda ou RSS hub for example).
I've seen that some of you have created tabs with th agenda, or the comm manager, or the sound manager...
I'm sure that is possible to have a tab who can manage plugs-in... i can't use "second today" any more. it's a very good soft but i really need a tab who can show plugs like the standars windows interface...
Thanks!!!
I realize this may be impossible, but +1 anyway...
Me too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hefman said:

It is possible to have a plug-in in a plug-in, like SPB pocket plus, SPB pocket shell and Ultimate Launch.
Fantastic idea.
+1
Would be a very good and usefull option, however I'm sure all the developers already know this and are working on it if it is possible.

Yes. I used Ultimate launch on my trinity and it's an excellent plug. But I prefer the TF3D But you have really understabd what i want : this is somtehing like Ultimate launch, with plugin integration... in a TF3D's tab
great!!
Yes, Yes, Yeeeeeeeeessssss !!!!!!!

WAD, SecondToday and PocketBreeze are other examples... However, those are all programs/plugins built from the ground up. Getting TF3D to run plugins is probably much tougher, since it means hacking an existing program.
Although, if it can be done, I'm sure someone on here will figure it out...
When I see what developers can do actualy, i think it should be possible. When you look softs from A_C for example, it's great.
i think perhaps you are looking for something like this

Easily solved:
Go to wisbar settings, press Taskbar, go to the 'Other' tab, and UNcheck 'The network icon uses the default icon' (aswell as the phone icon and optionally the notification icon)
Good luck with it, and thanks for the kind comments (thought i would get flamed or whatever for posting crap in this forum)
really like the theme.....as for further, next or future releases, it would be great if it was more finger friendly.
nice work
Also: i can't access the default task manager from the top right of the home screen(TF3D).

Wisbar isnt ment to be that finger friendly (yet), however you can enable an option to make the icons bigger then pressed, exactly the way touchflo does
i really love your theme but its a shame that wisbar is so finger unfriendly...
i deinstalled it with a tear in my eye
if been trying to download the file from your site tryed about six times always hangs halfway through the download :c dont know if its my pc or your server :s
anyway would realy appriciate if someone could mirror the file...

I think it works but you have to press the icon at the very left side of it.
It's a small bug in Wisbar.

thanx tom for this great app, i appreciate your work!!
absolutely amazing and saved me so much registry time after reseting my phone for windows mobile 6.5...
would be great if under messaging you could make it so that delivery notification wasnt always default on when replying in manila as it ignores the sms setting in messaging itself.
also some sound setting would be great too.
