And sorry for my poor english.
[HTC Vox] chandanbs:
Hi there,

a very clean and nice looking skin. But, on my Vox, the Outlook appointments entries are smeared with one another. Barring that, everything looks nice !!.
[HTC Vox] xounet:
GREAT

Very nice skin, this afternoon I going to try it.

Beautifull
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
Thanks everybody !

Barzi1991: I have added english and other languages to my BigCityLife skin ;)

Bye.
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
GrassSkin added !

[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:

[HTC Vox] fireburned:
Thanks !

I will post my skins on nectun when they are 100% done.

I must correct some small bugs.

;)

And sorry for my poor english...
[HTC Vox] xounet:
Just on my way you didn't make the screen like question, exclamation volume up/down...

Do you what I mean?

I miss them.
[HTC Vox] xounet:
I think on NECTUN you'll have a great success.
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
I don't understand your request, do you have an example ? (a print screen ? or an explication ?)

I could add this features if i understand what it is.

Thanks.
[HTC Vox] xounet:
En gros je dis qu'il manque les images quand tu monte le son, les alertes genre ton tel il te demande si t'es sur de vouloirsupprimer un truc...

Désolé pour le français mais c'est plus simple pour s'expliquer.
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
Ah ok ! En Français je vois mieux de quoi tu parles ! ;)

Je ferai çà quand j'aurai fini de régler quelques détails comme la compatibilité en mode paysage.

Bye.
[HTC Vox] xounet:
Ok, thanks for your work
[HTC Vox] chandanbs:
have a look at my screenshot. look how my calendar appointment entry got smeared .. :(:confused:
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
Oupsssssss, i have forgotten an option in xml file...

I have correct this (on first page).

Could you try to uninstall/reboot/install the new cab and tell me if it's ok ?

Thanks.
[HTC Vox] chandanbs:
Hi there,

Yup. you have corrected it now. Thank you very much !!.

Great work... :o
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
Perfect, thank you ;)
[HTC Vox] cpt.bert:
Nice homescreen!

But i have a suggestion:

Could someone please move the sms/email bit up and an CBReminder? then this Homescreen would be perfect for me!!

tnx cpt. Bert
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
It's my next step ! I wan't to include CBReminder plugin to add multiple lines for appointments. ;)

How much lines do you want ?

I don't have tested the plugin yet.

Bye.

And sorry for my poor english.
[HTC Vox] cpt.bert:
I would like it to have 3 or 4 lines just so i can see my schooltimetable(dont know if its a word cause i'm dutch) but i mean that i can see quickly when my classes start.

I may be getting a bit to asky but if its not to much trouble is there a way to implement that clock with weather and favoutite people? dont know how it all works but was just wondering...

grtz cpt. bert :)
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
I don't know the plugin : "clock with weather and favoutite people".

Do you have a link ? (or a print screen ? to see what you want)

For CBReminder, i will made skin with this plugin when i would have time. :confused:

Bye
[HTC Vox] cpt.bert:
hi,

This is the plugin i am talking about =] i had an alarm built-in with weather function and fav. people

the gregory home plugin

i'm looking forward to your new skin!

grtz
[HTC Vox] Canardvictorieux:
Thanks for the beautifoul skins ! Good work.
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
Hi,

GrassSkin2 added : allow display of multiple calendar entries with CBReminder plugin.

I have tried to include smartmonitor, but when i use cbreminder/smartmonitor on same skin, i have a conflict. I have made a choice : cbreminder...

Bye bye smartmonitor...

Next step : include HTC Home Plugin

Do you have some others suggestions ?

Bye.

And sorry for my poor english.
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
Hi,

BigCityLifeSkin2 added : allow display of multiple calendar entries with CBReminder plugin.

Bye.
[HTC Vox] makaveli86:
skins are beautiful!!!! how long did it take you to learn how to make one? is it hard?
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
Thanks !

To create first skin, i used this page :

http://www.modaco.com/content/Smartphone-General-Discussion/236832/Homescreen-guide-for-beginners/

and this :

http://www.smartphonefrance.info/skin.asp

My first skin is "BigCityLifeSkin", i worked approximately 16 hours to understand all of options/plugins...

For skin backgrounds, i searched images on google, and i adapted them with fireworks (shade and relief).

Now you could try to create some, if you have time ! :p

(for my second skin "BigCityLifeSkin2", i worked approximately 3 hour to understand CBReminder plugin and adapt background image, faster ! ;))

Bye
[HTC Vox] Bunecarera:
My calendar entries also got smeared in the Bigcity Life 2

nice skins btw.
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
I had the same problem, reboot your vox to correct the bug.

BigCityLifeSkin3 and GrassSkin3 added (use HTC Home and SmartMonitor plugins).

Bye.

[HTC Vox] fraqture:
Nice theme! :)

Which SmartToolkit skin do you use on the screenshots? I can't find it on the e-natives website.
[HTC Vox] bellor:
Hi there... Really nice themes. I'm actually using Grass Skin with HTC Home right now. There is one problem though. It seems a little strange that on the dialing screen the Grass Skin says BigCityLife Skin as well. Don't you think so too?
[HTC Vox] Bunecarera:
I would like to make the BigCityLife 3 without the mru and with the OxiosTask plugin. You think it is possible to put up the photoshop file of the background? So I can delete the arrows arround the mru and rearrange a bit.
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
fraqture : I use skin made by Dr Gonzo for SmartToolKit (include in 1.0 ROM : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=353037). File is attached.

bellor : If you want to test more one of my skins, you have to uninstall skin and reboot before installing a new one. Try it and tell me if ok.

Bunecarera : I use Fireworks to made my backgrounds. I put image in attached files. If you modify it, i can attach your skin (with oxios plugin) in my first post (if you want).

;)

Bye.
[HTC Vox] Bunecarera:
You've attached the Grass theme instead of Big City Life :)
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
Ooouuupsss, sorry... :confused:

The good file is attached. ;)
[HTC Vox] Bunecarera:
I'm having trouble integrating the Oxios task plugin. It seems that I can't get the calendar and tasks plugin to work at the same time.

Does anybody has an idea why?

The tasks plugin should go in the place of the mru of Big City life 3.

In attach is my xml. What is wrong with it?

[HTC Vox] Bunecarera:
Thx,

Missed that one.

In attach is my version. Just place the .jpg and the .xml from the zip in the correct folder replacing the existing ones.

And another question. Now, if you have a long calendar entry, it will resume the text on a second line, interfering with the location. How can you change that? So that the calender only stays on one line? I'm missing something, but I have now idea what. I have another them" where it is correct, but I can't see the difference...
[HTC Vox] oldfan:
How can I change the time to 12 hour instead of 24 hour?
[HTC Vox] oldfan:
also my events aren't showing up
[HTC Vox] prabhatnath:
Thanks for the Clean and Nice HOME Screen

Hi Friend,

Thanks for sharing the Nice and Clean Home Screen and Plugins :) Today I have used the Grass3 after I updated my ROM to 6.1 :) Thank you for your great work :)

-- Prabhat

[HTC Vox] fireburned:
prabhatnath : Thanks ! ;)

oldfan : Wich skin you use ?

Bunecarera : I'll try your skin later, i don't have time, i'm busy at this time :( Sorry.
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
Bunecarera : I modified your file. All seems correct now. Try it and tell me.

Bye.
[HTC Vox] Bunecarera:
Still the same. If you have a very long calendar endtry, it will still continue on the second line, smearing the location.
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
Could you try this file ?
[HTC Vox] Bunecarera:
This one works. Which is odd, because you only changed the position of the time...
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
I tested several solutions, but i don't understand where the problem came from...

Hummm, it's work... :p
[HTC Vox] oldfan:
/installed LeFab47_Vox_GrassSkin2
[HTC Vox] prabhatnath:
Hi Friend,

I have one small problem after I installed "

GrassSkin3

" home screen on my HTC 710 wich has upgraded to 6.1 ver 1.0.

>> From the home scrren when I type any number to dial at the TOP of the screen where "

Windows Mobile

" used to shown, But now I see a text: "

:BigCityLifeSkin

".

Can you fix this, if this a BUG :)
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
oldfan :

For calendar entries => Do you have installed CBReminder plugin ?

http://chrisb.homelinux.org/cbreminder/CBReminderPluginV03.ARM.CAB

For change the time to 12 hour instead of 24 hour => Edit LeFab47_Vox_GrassSkin2.home.xml, at line 123, modify mode="24" by mode="12"

prabhatnath :

Oups, i have forgotten to modify image, bug is corrected !

;)
[HTC Vox] prabhatnath:
Hey friend, Thanks. So does this mean that I will download the Home Screen again (hope you have uploaded it again) and If I install now the BUG will rectify? :)
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
Yep, but uninstall and reboot before install the new one. ;)
[HTC Vox] prabhatnath:
OK. one more question.... I have seen your comment for the new updated hoem screen: "Correct a bug on image "MSBrandingMSCdial.jpg" in GrassSkin/GrassSkin2/GrassSkin3 (wrongtext ":BigCityLifeSkin" instead of ":GrassSkin")"

mean now the :GrassSkin will shown?

I think that place "Windows Mobile" was shown before I install the Home Screen. And even if I have not activated the GrassSkin and still in the the text is Shown. I think only if the Home Screen (GrassSkin) is selected then it should shown :) What do you think?
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
I agree with you, but, it's not possible to show ":GrassSkin" image when the GrassSkin skin is selected, and show "Windows Mobile" image when another skin is selected, because "GrassSkin" skin is a complete theme, wich modify registry, and need a reboot to works fine (apply modifications on registry).

If you want to return to "Windows Mobile" image, you must uninstall "GrassSkin" skin and reboot.

Hum, my english is poor, i hope that you understood me ! :p
[HTC Vox] prabhatnath:
Hey friend, I can understand you, Dont worry, You can express what you want to express. That is enough :)

Thanks for good reply. Any how I liked the home screen, so want to keep it. But will Uninstall the OLD one and download the new one and Install :)

EDIT: Also is it possible to NOT show any text and keep the Windows Mobile unchanged? If so, can you have one version for Grass3 and give me please :)
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
Yep, try my file "LeFab47_Vox_GrassSkin3_Without_MSBrandingMSCdial.home.zip".

I have deleted the small image/registry "MSCBrandingMSCdial.jpg".

;)
[HTC Vox] prabhatnath:
Hey, Thanks for the file.... I have just downloaded it, Let me uninstall the OLD one and install this to verify :)
[HTC Vox] prabhatnath:
Hi,

It is working fine. Thanks for the file :) Cheers !!!
[HTC Vox] prabhatnath:
Another Bug

Hey Friend, I got another BUG :(.

The dial screen and incomming ring screen remains the Grass even if the Home Screen is others (i.e.Slide).

After I install GrassSkin3 and when I dial any number the dial screen and incomming ring screen was defaulted to the Grass theme/images by default for all Home Screens. I am not sure if this is a BUG of this theme or WM 6.1 ROM Update :)

I know you are the best to find it and fix :)
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
Hi,

It's not a bug, it's just include in "complete skin".

But, i have made a "simple skin" for you ! (without dial screen/incoming screen etc.)

You could try it ! And tell me if it's ok ! ;)

Uninstall, reboot and try the new one.

Bye.
[HTC Vox] prabhatnath:
Hey friend, thanks for theis file. I will install tonight when I will back to my home. I will surely update you on this :) I Hope this is without MSCBrandingMSCdial ;) Any how I will update you.
[HTC Vox] prabhatnath:
Hey it is working great :). The Missed call screen is there. But it looks great :) with the Home screen design and layout. Thanks friend.
[HTC Vox] polarbair:
Hello Fireburned! Beautiful skins!

Quick question. I just bought a used S710 and it does not have 6.1 on it, only what came with the phone (6.0 I believe). Can I still upgrade the screen to bigcitylife3? If so, where do I download it to? Silly question I know, sorry. Thanks for your help!

Chuck
[HTC Vox] oldfan:
thanks got the 12 time working , but now I got " Keine Anteshenden Termie" ?

Appointments not showing up, yes I installed that reminder cab.

I installed it, do you have to turn it on somewhere?
[HTC Vox] prabhatnath:
Hi Fabien,

One more question on Grass3 home screen: This does not display the entire Calender event on home screen. As the calender event is bottom of screen it only shows: "12:00 AM. 23-Mar-08 Tomorrow:" (One Line only)

The actual event should be comming in next line which is not shown and the section (calender) is not scrollable :(

I am not sure if this is a problem and existed for all users :(.

I think We can provide more room for calender by reducing the FONT size of Time shown at top. What is your thoughts...

Edit:

The images that you have used in 1st page of this thread display 2 lines for Calender Events. But I dont get it :(. Dont know why?
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
polarbair : GrassSkin3 is compatible with both versions of Windows Mobile 6.0 and 6.1, you can install it on wm6.0 or wm6.1 ;)

oldfan : "Keine Anteshenden Termie" means that CBRminder is installed, but i don't know the significance of this sentence. Events are present in your calendar?

prabhatnath : On grassSkin3, i used standard plugin to display calendar entries. This plugin is very limited and can only display one entry. On my first page, if you can see (on printscreen) two entries, it's because the first entry is "today plugin" and secondary entry is "calendar plugin". If you want more than one calendar entry, you must use CBReminder plugin (problem : smartmonitor and CBReminder are not compatibles, and smartmonitor is used in GrassSkin3, i can't use both SMartmonitor/CBReminder plugins on this skin...).

And, i can't show 2 lines on my calendar plugin (for one entry), i don't have enough space on my skin, it would be necessary that I remove the "today plugin" to have two lines for one calendar entries. Sorry... But if you want, i can explain you how to remove "today plugin" and display 2 lines in calendar entry. :)
[HTC Vox] prabhatnath:
Hi Thanks for your reply. I think I was not clear on my question :(

Actually I want the show the ONLY one line.

Ex: ON 22nd my event shows:

12:00 AM. 23-Mar-08 Tomorrow:

BUT it should show:

12:00 AM. 23-Mar-08 Tomorrow:

Birth day - xyz.

On 23rd it shows correct:

12:00 AM Birthday - xyz.

Hope now you understand what I mean to say. Sorry if I trouble you :p
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
"Calendar plugin" show only one line in my skin, it's explain this :

Ex: ON 22nd my event shows:

12:00 AM. 23-Mar-08 Tomorrow:

Try this skin (without today plugin to show 2 lines on calendar plgin) and tell me if ok.
[HTC Vox] prabhatnath:
Hi,

I will download the have a try now :) Bu I love the today plugin. So I think i will keep the current one :). Will Update you soon.
[HTC Vox] prabhatnath:
Hi Friend,

I installed the ne file (without today plugin to show 2 lines on calendar plgin) and it shows 2 lines and I am happy now :). BUT I did not seen any difference between the OLD one and NEW One :(. What is the difference? What is the outcome of removing the Today PlugIn? Can you please let me understand this?

As I know this screen requre 2 Plugin:

1) Gregory_HTCHomeN.cab (For displaying the TABS and weather details)

2) SmartMonitor-0-9-6-0.CAB (For showing batery and signal statistics)

What is the Today Plugin here :( Not Sure of this.
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
"Today plugin" is used to show an entry of calendar over all the day, usually to post the name of the saint of the day in progress (0h to 24h).

Ex :

Saint Sébastien

Saint Patrick

...

In France : Ephemeride

http://www.nectun.com/click.php?tb=...om/soft/1/Ephemeride2008parwww.nectun.com.zip

You can see saint of the day in this excel file.

"Calendar plugin" is used to display your appointments.

You see the difference ?
[HTC Vox] polarbair:
Works great!

Thanks Fireburned! works like a charm. Only thing I've found is that when you change the background image, (i.e.utah)you cant get the "city" background to come back. I just had to go and fiddle with things......lol
[HTC Vox] oldfan:
I'm all good now, just waiting on some more skins :P
[HTC Vox] prabhatnath:
Hi, Thanks for reply.

As per you: ->

"

"Today plugin" is used to show an entry of calendar over all the day.

"Calendar plugin" is used to display my appointments in calender.

I dont think I understood this :confused:, Bit you seems to be correct. I will find it out.

But my goal has complete as I can see the calender events now with the modified home theme that you gave :)

How can I install them to the VOX ?

I am newbie guys ....I just received my new phone!
[HTC Vox] prabhatnath:
Download the home screen/theme you want to you pc. (Links are given in 1st page of this thread).

Make sure that you also download the required Plugins for the home screen that you are downloading. (You can find those in the "Log" section above the images)

Once you are done with above downloads, 1st Install the required plugin.

After installing the plugins install the home screen.

How to Install:

You copy the .CAB files to your device (any where), when you are connected to PC via ActiveSync and from your device navigate to the folder where you copied the .cab files and open the file to install.

Hope this will help you.
[HTC Vox] gesamgr:
Thank you Sir ! :)
[HTC Vox] caraboy:
Is it normal to look like this in landscape mode on htc s710?

Also, I have smarttoolkit rc08 and I don`t have the skin in your picture (for the taskbar). Can`t install rc09 because I have problems with stability.

Other than that, nice job! Keep them coming. :)
[HTC Vox] prabhatnath:
Hi Friend,

Are you in process of making some new Skins for HTC 710? Why don't you come up with some unique one (similar to WM7 screenshots :) )
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
Caraboy : It's not a bug. It's very difficult to build a skin compatible with portrait and landscape modes. The only solution is to lose space in bottom of the portrait mode.

prabhatnath : I'm currently working on a kitchen project for Vox. I will made a new skin, but not yet, i have not enough time.

Do you have exemples for WM7 skins ?
[HTC Vox] matrix77:
I've found this theme but it's only for landscape phone
