my screen

Hey guys....here are some screen schots of my current setup. As you can see, I placed my launcher tabs at the very bottom. I have four tabs described below....I am using a file called "WM VI Black VJ555 Utils.cab" that allows you to resize the top and bottom bars.

I still want to do something with the top bar but not get rid of it completely because I rely too much on the indicators. if anyone knows how to make it transparent or has any vool ideas, let me know. I kind of want to change the start button icon to a vista or apple one but I don't know how.

On the first tab, the standard HTC today plugin (which I have always liked. I maintain four tabs within the plug in (home, music, launcher and profiles. I also set up 12 little icons for my frequently used programs (again, using the icons posted in this thread.

On the second tab I am using the Phat Phonger I weather panel theme. I think it fits nicely....

The third tab I posed is my calender. I am using the TodayAgenda today plug in. Very cool (free) program. You can add it to a tab as it is a today plug in and is very customizable.

Still trying to think of something cool (and useful) for my fourth tab....any ideas?

**edit: I had to take out the picture of my 3rd tab 9TodayAgenda) as the edits to take out information did not stick...but it looks good and is very useful....

You can use Wisbar to change the look of top and bottom bar
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jay2TheRescue:
I like that weather panel, but I googled it, and didn't come up with anything. Do you remember where you got it from?

Thanks, Jay
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] matthew232:
I know you can get it from PPC geeks. Its called Phat Phinger I. Here is the link: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=9606

Its kind of confusing to know what you have to install if you haven't installed WeatherPanel, make suyre you search that forum and get the updated cab and then install the Phat theme....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jay2TheRescue:
Thanks. I actually found weatherpanel today, and I tried to download the Phat Phinger skin, but PPC Geeks said I had to register. I registered, but now it says I have to activate my membership to access downloads, and I haven't gotten the activation email yet... :( maybe tomorrow...

ANyone had any luck making this a OEM I have tried a couple times with no luck.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jay2TheRescue:
UPDATE: I got the email, and I actually downloaded the PP III theme skin because it was based on the HTC Home icons I liked so much. Looks great with my dark grey device theme. The only thing is this: Is there a trick to make the radar work? I specified what maps to use in settings, but when I go to that page I just get "Empty" on the screen when I go to view the maps.

Pocket CM settings?

Hi max motus, I was able to install UL in my tmobile wing successfully with your instructions. I got a request for you. Can you share your settings.ini file used for pocket cm? I assume that you have modified it to have bigger fonts with seperators, etc. I tried to do that using the instructions given in pocket cm forum , but for some reason it is not reflecting. Thanks in advance.

Can someone post the PhatPhinger zips from ppcgeeks? I've been waiting to get my email from ppcgeeks all night so I can skin WP but haven't received it. Grrr.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sabestian:
Yeah, same here. I've been waiting for the email for a few days now... :( I think they have a problem with their automated service.

Can anyone post phat phinger themes here? I'm especially interested in the second version...Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mario23:
Is this the one you guys were looking for?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iceaxe07:
Can i have the installation file for weatherpanel?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sabestian:
Cheers, dude, you're great! I don't want to be pushing too hard, but... Can you post all of them here and icons, too? It kind of like licking the lollypop with the foil still on ;)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pitzer3:
also would like to have the .cab file for weatherpanel and phatIII zip file.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MDANavymom:
This is the best resource for WeatherPanel:

http://pixel.citadel.org/weatherpanel/index.php
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] j.a:
Look a couple pages back, the link to weatherpanel (from ppcgeeks.com) is there and just at the top of this page is the zip file for the phatfinger II skin, not sure about III.

Thats your freebie since your new here, but next time search and read through the thread u will probably find the answers to your questions. ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jay2TheRescue:
Another update: Although weatherpanel & Phat Phinger both say they can be installed to the storage card, after I soft reset weatherpanel couldn't find my phat Phinger theme (or even the default one) anymore. I uninstalled both, and now I'm reinstalling both to the device itself. I shouldn't have violated that rule, but it is a big plugin, and I thought I was saving space...

-Jay
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pitzer3:
hey J.A. If you read then you would see that many of us have been waiting for our registration confirmation email from ppc and cant download from them. Hence can someone post the .cab file and .zip for phatIII.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] j.a:
Thats strange. I always install weatherpanel to my sd card (some of the full page skins with changing backgrounds are up to 20ish mb!) I currently have weatherpanel and the son of a commuter skin installed on my sd.

I will try the phatfinger one now and let you know if I have the same problem as u just did.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] j.a:
Sorry to hear that, and I did see it but it takes some time to get the registration from them, up to a day or 2. Hence, Sit tight and wait because there is an additional step that you have to take when installing it, in order to get it fully functioning with moon phases and all.

Background info for those who are not familiar with Weatherpanel:

Long story short...

The author of this app went MIA about 1 or 2 years ago and no one has been able to get in touch with him, but this is still one of the best if not the best weather app around. Because of this some people over at PPCgeeks (I believe it was them) created a mirror site with the original info and also created a .dll that connects to a current server so that the reg and moons phases stay up to date. So the best place to get it is from PPCGeeks, their download includes the original install cab and the updated .dll with directions on how to install it.

Also most of the skins that are made by many users are not in cab form, they are folders that are placed in the Weatherpanel app folder. The larger Icon packs are usually in cab form. But these 2 things really depend on the author of the skin.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MDANavymom:
I have WeatherPanel on the storage card and it runs quite nicely. The Theme must be unzipped and then put into the theme folder of WeatherPanel, then the icons need to be put in the Icon folder...once you do this then you can chose them from your drop down tab in the WeatherPanel display settings.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] j.a:
Just installed the phatfinger theme to my SD and it is working fine.

My install folder layout is as follows (after I choose sd for my installation):

Device:

- Program Files

- MarsWare

- WeatherPanel:

Weatherpanel.dll

Storage:

- Program Files

- MarsWare

- WeatherPanel

- data

+ Icons

- Themes:

son-of-a-commuter

PhatPhinger I QVGA

PhatPhinger II QVGA

PhatPhinger III QVGA

Is this how yours is/was?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jay2TheRescue:
Now that I've got it working again, and working the way it was this is how I had it. Weather Panel & Phat Phinger were on the device, the icons were on the storage card. It worked flawlessly until I powered down the device today to read some info off of the label under the battery (equivalent of a soft reset). When I powered it back on weather panel didn't work, and it had lost even the default theme. I deleted and reinstalled all of it, and I put the icons on the device as well to avoid any future problems.

-Jay
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mario23:
Its always been by understanding that in order for the program to work best, it is advised to keep the themes and icons in the same directory as the program. As long as all that was kept together, it could be run on the device or the storage...as long as all the files were in the same directory. I've always had the program on my storage card along with all the themes and icons. Never had a problem.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] woodie:
Does anyone have an English link to purchase this? Handango.de is all Dutch/German to me and I can't really make out anything on that site. I checked Handango.com but didn't seem to locate the software.

Here you go...

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] woodie:
Thanks, Mario. I searched on handango.com but it wanted me to select my device, which did, but it did not come up with Ultimate Launch.

Here is my WIP. Still adding apps to the tabs and not sure what type of clock I want to use. I used UL, rltoday, weatherpanel (Son-of-a-commuter skin with Son-of-Commuter-240-De41 Icons), Spb Phone suite (for the picture dial today plugin & phone profiles) & Batti-2.1 battery meter.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kooldewil:
I tried the SmartUtilities+Shortcuts.CAB but the wireless bit didnt work, I've been searching for a while now to have a simple button to toggle wireless on/off and I finally found one here-

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?p=1900018

it doesnt have an icon attached to it, but I used one from ibuttons.zip file posted on page 3.

hope this helps.

cheers.

You're my godddd!!!!! thanyou so much for the app, but can you post me the icon you've used ... I've got te one you sad before but I'm not able to use it.... it doesn't work.... can you show me how to do...

Im trying to add the "Adjust Backlight" shortcut that is in some HTC home ROMs but cant seem to find the location to link it up to, just the Backlight.exe .. anyone know where i can get that shortcut?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kooldewil:
You're welcome, i had been searching for ages and was sure others needed something similar as well, glad to be of help.

Regarding the icon,

for selecting the program i was earlier using the program-icon button (on the select a new item tab) but when I tried attaching icons to it, somehow it didnt work, so I tried the XP-Icon (32 bit) button and selected the program - exe link - 'program files\smartmadsoft\wirelesstoggle and for the icon - i used the wifi.ico which i found in the ibuttons.zip file

or you can use either wireless.ico or wifi.ico in the icos.zip file

both the zip files are on page 3.

Let me know if it works.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] popdog54:
Maybe I'm just missing it and the answer is right in front of me, but is there any way to add a folder shortcut to a UL tab? Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] martian07:
The link did not work. I have same problem. Can you update the link please.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jay2TheRescue:
Man, if I knew how to do that I could eliminate using the Start menu completely! I'd add a shortcut to the programs and settings menus.

-Jay
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] orchids:
Don't know about creating a folder, but I have an icon pointing to Quickmenu, and from there I can go to programs and such, don't know if that's the same to you. ^^
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mario23:
If you look at the bottom of my home screen, I have AEWifitrigger and CircleBT installed which can be found here on the forum. Both simple on/off switches. I don't know if that's what the link above was for but these would be my recommendation.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eyecrispy:
Would someone kindly post a bunch of iPhone icons (normal and selected)?? I have a few from earlier in the post but I'm wondering if anyone has anymore. I'm trying to add a tab using the iPhone look and feel.

I apologize if I've missed it if it was posted somewhere. My kids are crawling all over me and I'm having a hard time searching.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] daevent:
Could you post these icons? Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eyecrispy:
@mario23 - how did you get rid of the start menu and the top bar there?? i'd love to make mine look like that.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kooldewil:
here's the files. One is the one which I recommended but I found the ones used by daevent better, I've attached those as well.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] frenchglen:
kooldewil, is wirelesstoggle or wifi_trigger truly a toggle, able to turn on when off and off when on?

I have two little shortcuts, one turns it ON, and the other OFF, but I have not found ONE shortcut that truly *toggles* wifi on and off.

Duh, maybe I should just try it! :o [bangs head]
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mario23:
Wisbar Advanced 3. It allows you to customized top and bottom bars among other features.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mario23:
The one called wifi_trigger is the one I was talking about. It is a true toggle switch.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] frenchglen:
Cool thanks, it works! My today screen is forever getting better.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jackgabro:
great!!!!!!!! it works! thankyou so much!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bugeyes:
i also wanted the calender within ul's home page, finally found a way to do it by installing O2 plus 2.3 plugin and used the o2 calender which links to the standard windows calender, now just need to sort out a link to tasks!:D

take todayagenda! it is much smaller than o2plus!!

UL Tab Question

So I have 5 defined tabs on my Today screen. Everything works well but I've noticed that when my device starts up it will come to a blank screen with the 5 tabs. I have to actual touch one of the tabs to activate what's in it.

Is there any way to just default it to one of the tabs all the time without having to touch a tab to "wake" it up, for lack of a better word?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jay2TheRescue:
Open UL Config and click on the your Home tab, or whatever one you have activate first (It should be outlined in orange). Click change. Make sure "Activate Plugin on startup" is checked, and "Save Memory" is unchecked.

-Jay
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Just about right:
Sure, go into settings and select "Tabs". Decide which tab you would like to display at startup and select it. Press change and toward the bottom is a box with "Activate plugin on startup". Then select the "Tab" and at the bottom is "Open tab on startup". Select that one and UL will start on startup and the tab you selected/changed will start on startup.

Hope this helps.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iceaxe07:
Hi,

i'm curious and wish to ask you, how u get two row of tabs? Not the last row where there is Wifi and BT.

did u use WAD or UL to get this effect? If using UL, kindly give some advise on how to achieve it.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eyecrispy:
Thanks! Not sure how I missed that ....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mario23:
The top row are Pocket Plus tabs. I have the UL tabs hidden. The second row are the HTC Home tabs. I used the transparent icons available here for HTC Home then I converted them to DAT format so I could use them for the Pocket Plus tabs also.

Shortcut create on Ultimate Launch 1.2

I want to create shortcuts for games and applications folder of start menu in one tab of Ultimate launch. Anyone knows how to do that?

I don´t want to open file explorer in than directory, i just want to open the window where are all the games shortcuts. What i have to put in command to open that window like it opens when you open it pushing start menu -> Programs -> Games

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Section9:
These are my Today screenshots with UltimateLauncher

First tab is custom phonealarm with use of alpha channels.

Second tab is my programs and third is my pocketalarm with weather.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Section9:
Think you can do that with the 'parameter' field where you can type in the URL, but instead you type in the path for the folder.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] axl79:
How to do that

Is posible to have 2 today plugins in the same TAB?

is that the trick you have use on the third tab?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Section9:
Yes, 2 today plugin using UltimateLauncher's 'combination' tabs option.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] axl79:
this doesn`t work... but i don´t know if i´m writting the path well. Can you give me an example?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] axl79:
I tried to combine two tabs yesterday... but i have no results, the only thing i have is two new tabs with one element each. What`s the correct process to combine two tabs?

there isn´t an english manual or help for ultimate launcher?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PhiloPhunk:
NooB Q

hi folks!

Can anyone tell me if there's a simple way to back up the final config?

My worry is that after all the hard work to get my system looking cool as f##k I could lose it all at the next soft- or hard- reset, and then have to do it all again :&

Does anyone know of a way I can back this all up, after I'm done?

Is there an app for this maybe?

cheers in advance - and a big thanks to MaxMotus for all that INSPIRATION :))
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] axl79:
I Use SPB Backup to make a full backup of my system... yesterday i have to use my lastest backup, my system just don´t wake up after put HTC Home both in Ultimate launcher and Today, soft reset don´t work... and at least the backup restore after hard reset works....

I hardly recomend.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Section9:
Under the 'Tabs' tab, choose 'New'.

Select 'combination of tabs* '.

On that screen, you can add 'New' Again, which allows you to choose 'Today-Plugin' or 'Shortcuts & Systemstate'
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PhiloPhunk:
thx axl - that will do nicely ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Section9:
sorry, I can't get it to work as well...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluemetalaxe:
you cant directly make a shortcut to a folder with UL. Maybe it will come in Version 1.3. Its on the todo-list of Daniel.

You have to use File Explorer to open a folder with UL: command: "fxplore.exe" ; param: "\Windows\..."
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
not sure about this but couldn't you just back up the ini file somewhere. as along as you have the icons folder backed up, couldn't you just replace the ini file along with the icons folder exactly as named?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chulo_allen:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1916354&postcount=29

Icons

The clear icons you are using for UL are nice. Can you upload them or post a link to them.

thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
i love the idea of turning the whole today screen into a cube idea. it looks really cool, especially after you get rid of the tabs. One word of warning to others doing this. I got rid of the tabs by setting its height to 0. Once you do that, if you got rid of the UL settings icon on of of the tabs like I did, there is no other way that I can find to get to the settings page. Not through start menu, or today setup. Usually you can click and hold on one of the tabs but if you have no tabs you can't do that.

No here is my issue: Because of the situation above I manually went to the ini page and opened it with shNotepad and changed the tab height back to 32. Howeverafter saving it and reloading UL, it says the ini is not unicode. Does anybody know a unicode editor I can use to convert that ini file back to unicode??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] papamopps:
Just go to \programs files\ultiamtelauncher\ultimatesettings.exe --> make a shortcut to \windows\startmenue\programs

and you can run the normal ULsetting program.

I also have the tabhigh set to 0
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MetaImi:
how can you make a backup from the UL settings? After a HR I don't wanna to do all settings again
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] papamopps:
just copy the ultimatelauncher.ini!!!!

and after hardreset. copy back!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
I tried running that program using file explorer. However i think you need some arguments because it just gave me a blank configuration.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] papamopps:
nope - for me not... sorry
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
so now for me to get back to that point I have a ini file that is now saved as a text file, but UL is expecting a unicode file. how do i get it converted to a format ul will accept?
