Simple Clean Layout

I've tried everything out there but settled on this very simple spartan layout. Clean cut and simple.

One major recommendation I'm gonna make-

change the registry value

HKLM\System\GWE\Menu\PopFnt\Ht = 1200

HKLM\System\GWE\Menu\PopFnt\Wt= 700

This makes all the menus so much easier to use and everything still fits. No more stylus. You can also adjust the scroll bars to make them more finger friendly.

HHC Home Customizer, Spacer, Batti 2.1, Everything I need to access is in the Cube
[Touch GSM General] ilordvader:
sure would like to see a Video

if u have posted on youtube do post a link

so we alll can see wht it looks like & how easy is the big size
[Touch GSM General] altimmons:
Im hoping just this image will give you an idea.

I messed up my system font and for the life of me can't change it back. I thought I was being sneaky and some how I changed Tahoma in the windows directory to a different font renamed Tahoma. And now no matter what I've tried I can't change it back. It only affected a few things, but the effects were major. Any ideas? Heres what changing the registry keys looks like-

HKLM\System\GWE\Menu\PopFnt\Ht = 1200

HKLM\System\GWE\Menu\PopFnt\Wt= 700

I've tested lots of different size combos and this one seems to work best. Changing the other registry values in nearby keys have no effect (?). This size is as big as I can get it before any menus go off screen- however when they do- no big deal- WM6 will offer scroll bars for you. I've tried to completely remove stylus use from my phone. If people like, I can dig back out the scroll bar settings where you can make scroll bars wider- but you can mess up some arrangements taking that too far.

Hallo Koen,wat een mooi today theme,daar ik leek ben maar intressen heb om dit ook te leren en te installeren,maar mijn engels peperkt is,zou ik u willen vragen of je dit eens met een walktrou kan mailen.mijn email -erik.vandendorpe@telenet.be

[Touch GSM General] koen-ronse:
New ones...
[Touch GSM General] SomethingWicked:
I realize I'm on an Elf forum, but I'm getting real close to what I want on my Polaris, and wanted to see what everyone thought. It matches my Alienware laptop remarkably well. This is my home screen so far...

I use the HTCHomeCustomizer (which I found using google) with the AlienRound clock font, LGMenu for the bottom 4 icons, and a custom phat Alienware background image I captured from my laptop (on which it was stretched from 1600 to 1920 width) and cropped via MsPaint.

Some further enhancements I'd like to make, if anyone can help, are:

1) I'd really like to remove the Start bar, but not the icons. Leave the Windows icon, but I'd like it grayscale to match the rest of the theme. Remove the word 'Start', and leave the other icons where they are, but let them appear transparently as the 'AT&T' and '4/23/08' are. Any ideas?

2) I'd also like to get rid of all the Today seperator lines which separate all the components of the Today screen. Wouldn't mind being able to move things around a little, but that may be asking too much... I like the clock font, all the other stuff is fluff.

3) Also, I'd really like to be able to configure the LGMenu at the bottom of the screen. Been searching the forums, no luck so far.

Comments?

Alright, love this background.

Trying to load up Batter Status, along with following some of the installation directions on your site to get the bottom icons. Experiencing some very disappointing results.

Any further tips / explanation on the install for this bad boy?

Yeah, weather in Chi-town been crazy, freaking snowing today...:eek:

1) 3 icons that is email, messages and phone calls

2) weather that should come below the time

kindly reply

With AllBlackTheme.tsk from this forum.

Last edition...

(I like it... except the weather here...)

AllBlackTheme, rlToday, SPB Weather, TodayAgenda, QuickMenu.
[Touch GSM General] chAz15:
I got it, with a little PM help from our friends.

Use Ultimate Launch to just show the weather tab.

Use HHC Home Customizer to set Transparent for the HTC Home Plugin

Pick only Time and Date and Messaging Rows in BATSTAT

I just now have to install RLTODAY and used spencepu3's BLue icons and skin to get the bottom 4 buttons below the weather, and I should have the Good's.

Didn't have time to play with my phone last night GTA4 released. :cool:

Then on spencepu3's theme page, he gives a nice step by step for removing the bottom bar (Calendar / Contact) so the 4 button bar is down there instead. Have to copy a nice little app to your startup to get it to stay away on soft-resets and such.

Hope this helps you out, I got it up and good.

All of those apps can be DL'd from spencepu3's theme install, just go down a few posts and click on his sig to his themes...Nice packed up Zip with Ultimate Launch, bottom tray remove, etc.

At the top overlaying the "start" icon is PQzII found HERE, it add lots of great functionality to the treo 750 keyboard.

And at last good old Calendar+, lots of options to view all you appointments.

And yes darn it Eurvision is teh awsome! :)

Thanx.
[Touch GSM General] Visti:
I second this! A little more info, perhaps? How do you have the HTC Home Clock showing at the top and the the HTC weather at the bottom?
[Touch GSM General] spencepu3:
The clock is a batterystatus skin not HTC home. The weather is htc weather but it is inside of ultimatelaunch, that is how I put it on the bottom.
[Touch GSM General] Visti:
Clever! Thanks, man.

Not exactly speedy, though, I imagine..
[Touch GSM General] SomethingWicked:
I think I finally got it.

I got rid of the grayscale taskbar using allblack.tsk theme file, which I found using google, and just decided to remove the softkeys and LGMenu (from my original post) from the bottom all together to make more room for visuals.

Anyone know where I can get a skinable stand-alone clock? I like the clock on this HTC Home today plugin, but don't like the rest of the plugin. I think I can replace the rest using UltimateLaunch, and have a more attractive screen. thankx...

[Touch GSM General] ilordvader:
Can you upload the Alien face theme please

i like that
[Touch GSM General] Visti:
I struggled with HHC and UltimateLauncher for a while, but I just couldn't get it to show HTC Weather without any tabs like spencepu3. If I deselect everything but the weather tab, there's still just a huge unclickable weather tab at the bottom and it still has a top bar that says 'Weather'.

Am I missing something obvious here? I had a hope that maybe you could just select HTC Home Weather inside UltimateLaucher, but no such luck.

Anyhow, I settled for SPB Weather (With gestures to slide to SPB Time and SPB Home) for the moment with LG-Today and the BatteryStatus skin nicked from the guys in this thread.
[Touch GSM General] chAz15:
In ultimate Launch, click on the Change in Tabs Manage Tabs.

Then Click on the Tab on the top, and complete DELETE the caption Text Weather or whatever the name is.

OK back to the main menu screen.

Now, you will need to play with the size settings for the Plug-in and the tab height. I set my position to Bottom, and the height to 115 'I think' can't remember off hand.

Play with the top margin too and get it to fit good with RLToday running below UL. WIth the LG menu.

Hopefully that makes sense and it will definitely make the Tab go BYE BYE. :D
[Touch GSM General] djromeo:
hey do u know where i can get that battery indicator?:)
[Touch GSM General] spencepu3:

[Touch GSM General] SomethingWicked:
its not actually a theme in and of itself... the actual 'theme' is an xml file i found. you can find it too, just search for allblack.xml and download it. that will give you a black task bar. i removed the soft keys status bar from the bottom of the screen using 'dcinobar.exe' which you can also find by searching the forums. the alien head is cut from a wallpaper i found on alienware.com, and sized, positioned and cut using plain old ms paint. i would share these files, but i am unable to upload any files from opera mobile. sorry.. keeps giving me invalid file error. the today plugin is simply htc's today plugin, and i used HHC, htc home customizer, which you can also find by searching, and set the background to none (maybe it was transparent), the clock font to AlienRounded, and the tab icons to PSP. thats pretty much it. glad you like it.
[Touch GSM General] SomethingWicked:
thanx.. i tried that one already and couldn't figure out how to set the font to alienrounded. i found a cab called something like nothin_xo1bstheme or something like that that gave me a clock with the right font, plus the couters for email, sms, missed calls, and voicemail, which i'm still playing around with...
[Touch GSM General] SomethingWicked:
yes, you are missing something :) it took me a while to find it, and cant remember where it is inultimatelaunch,ut theres a tab called tab or tabs where you can set the HEIGHT of the tabs to 0 or 1. and it works. then you can set the guestues as you'd like for switchubgtabs. i used cube and its awesome

Hey There...

Could someone tell me how to remove the HTC Home plugin tabs?

The problem is, that I then also display the Home plugin tabs
