your phone may not have enough memory (my g/f had the same issue with her wizard)... ive found that if you turn the page a couple times before switching... it will switch back just fine. but youre right, it is a flaw of ul... i will be porting this theme over to wad once the new version comes out. but for now, try and make sure to free up as much memory on your device as possible...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bowlopho:
happens right after a restart. I have a wing
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
one thing that might help is, if you turn off ul... and then turn it back on.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jym04:
Hi, I tried to use this theme, which seems good looking, but none of the shortcuts (expect camera) are working here.

Maybe that's due to the fact that I'm using a WM6.1 ROM, but well, UL default shortcuts are working fine.

EDIT: lol forget it. It seems I skipped a step of your guide (changing the shortcuts)

Shame on me
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bowlopho:
yeah, I don't want to do this everytime?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
dunno what to tell you, works just fine on my kaiser...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Androx:
Having a problem on No. 10. unzip BatteryStatusTheme.zip to the "/windows/batterystatus" folder.

Can't seem to find this folder, would it be named something else or in a different folder?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
its there... unzip the folder anywhere, copy it, and find the folder in the windows directory and copy it over
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Androx:
found the windows folder on the kaiser not activesync explorer. managed to move it into the batterystatus folder through the device itself :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
to prevent that in the future... you have to go turn folder option on you computer and turn off hide system folders, and hide hidden files... its one of the two... but glad you found the fix for it
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Glen L:
which clock program is that?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
its part of the batterystatus theme
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Androx:
got it working, one problem on mine though... the font is a thick white style which I can barely make out against the icons. There must be an easy fix to get the font used in the OP screenshots. Looks great otherwise!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
go to the ul settings... go to the "font" tab... uncheck the "text two colored" box... save... then repeat this option and turn it on
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] johnny69blaze:
Is that HTC Home? How did you change the AM/PM to Thurs and date (28)? Can you share the HTC home icons? Great job man. You've inspired me to change my whole layout!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
lol thanks... look up two posts below the top... its a batterystatus theme that emulates htc home... it fits my needs better... check it out tonight... ill have a video of my WHOLE theme in action... which is more than ive shown here
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dirtred:
nice app.i'm a true noob.first device.i got this app runing now my only question is where do i get like the survival pack?no seriously what apps do you rec. as serious must haves?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
a lot of the apps i used i paid for, but to name a few... vscaller, resco explore, spb plus, opera web browser, s2p (slide 2 play), vspaint, resco picture, xm radio, mobi tv, tcpmp + flashvideobundle (for youtube), ringo mobile, pocketscreen, s2u2, s2v (slide 2 view) ummm... too many to name... but if you use the search tool at the top of this forum on the brown header... youll find some great stuff. good luck with your device
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bowlopho:
just tap the clock and it will change
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dirtred:
please don't think i'm a dumb dude with a smart phone

could you please give an example of each way a button assignment would look?

i understand the how to get the exe to assign but the http and stuff like my text messenger i can't find.sorry to bother you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
you have to create a shortcut... and hide it somewhere in your start menu... there should be a thread within the first few pages of "dev and hacking" called "list of .inks"

look that up, itll have everything you need... you can even assign your own icons to the shortcuts :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pistachu:
Great job man!

I have only 1 problem, i´ve installed dcinobar.exe but softkeys still there (and a little bar at bottom with shorcuts) and dont know how to remove them. any idera? i have an Asus P525
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
did you check to make sure that dcinobar is in your startup folder? ive read that the dcinobar doesnt respond with certain devices... there is another free app that hides the softkeys, you might have to google it? or use the search tool... hope that helps
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KamaL:
Hehe, I've been using a similar configuration for a while now, but I'd say simpler and easier for the eye.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dirtred:
<---------- i'm with stupid lol

so i go to the page make a html doc. then paste in start menu.ok then what do i type in the command slot Widows\Start Menu\gmail.html? i hope you guys don't get pissed but i just read all 9 pages of that inks thread,searched google.so i'm trying.i just don't know these terms.sorry again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
thats cool, i like it... i just wanted something a little flashier, and to be able to efficiently get to all my apps and settings without too much clutter... i can get to any app in about 2 clicks...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
this is the easiest way to do it... create a shortcut to anything and place it in your root folder... then activesync and drag it to your desktop... right click the shortcut and open it with "notepad" and delete the all the text and copy

20#"\Windows\tmail.exe"-service "SMS"

that into it... save... and drag it back to where you want the shortcut in "/windows/start menu/programs"

you might have to open up your folder options and check see "system files and folders"... and unhide hidden folder... so that you can see the windows

directory, or you can use resco explore or total commander and open the .ink file with word directly from the device (thats what i do)

if youre a newb, that might be wayy over your head, but hopefully it helps...

also... to get the shortcut to open up "gmail" or "yahoo!" copy these exact words in place of "SMS" for each shortcut...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
Just to give those who are curious an update... im going to create a cab for easier install and also create a seperate cab with all my shortcuts and icons... ill also release a video that shows you how easily my phone operates and if you like it, try it... to those who are interested, please let me know, or else ill just use my time for something else :D like flashing
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cmart4:
Creating cabs that way would be awesome; I'm sure there are many users here that would appreciate it... I know I would!

Chris
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dirtred:
thank god

well i'll be a happier man!!!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wearefree:
Well after 5+ hours of fiddling I finally get it to work the way I like. The best part I like it over others (such as PointUI, iFonz, iTask, spb MS) is the fact this IS the today screen. If I use any of those I have to try very hard either not to hit the red key or have to disable the hbutton (I use the hbutton OK/close function with batterystatus's task manager to close all those non-behaving MS programs) so I don't go back to today screen and have to start the program over. Also I have installed UL twice in the past :D but because of my poor graphic abilities I uninstalled it twice. Now with Michael's design as a starting point, I finally achieved what I want from the first place.

However I do have two questions:

1. How to disable auto minimization? Some times when I wake up the phone, all I see is the header icons at the bottom and I don't see any of the tabs. However one click on any of the headers will bring them back.

2. How to fix the position of the separator? (The line with text in the center). I know I can fudge the size of the margin so those separators on different tabs can align; however when the appointments show up then everything moves. At the end I have to remove all margins and separators but I kinda like to keep them if possible.

Thank Michael for his great work!

iStyle Dialpad skin

Michael asked me to make a skin for this theme. Below is the cab file. This works only on touch dialers! These are only graphic files so no .dll are installed. If you don't like - simply uninstall and it will go back to original.

Hope you like it!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ayoo456:
works great. nice instructions
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ayoo456:
one question...where can i find the "settings" app so it can match with the icon? basically when i push settings i would like the sttings menu to appear. any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TDO:
Does anybody have e fix for that - or is it a bug?

It also happens sometimes after leaving an application (e.g. telephone, ...).

TDO
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bowlopho:
Just want to thank you for the cool UL theme. I altered it around a little,

it looks like this now, but most of my icons are functional yet.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
this is AWESOME!

im glad you are all enjoying the theme... thank you sooo much for uploading the dialer, if you could post a screen shot thatd also be awesome because my kaiser it out of commission and going to be sent to warranty =(

and i will update all of this info to the first post!

to answer all of your questions in one shot... to have it keep from auto minimizing, you have to select one specific tab to set as auto start this tab, (you can only choose this option for one tab, or it wont work) another option in addition to this is to have it revert back to the default tab in 60 secs. or less.

as fas as the the headers go, i know that on the office page when an appointment shows, it throws off that specific header, the only option i found to fix this is to put your headers at the top, or to let the header hide behind the bottom docked icons like i do, i know it looks kinda tacky, but it isnt sooo bad. if we are all lucky, we will get a newer version of UL with some minimal fixes like these. Either way though, this UI has been my best experience up until my phone breaking =( thanks again guys and i hope that answers your questions =)

ps- the video and cab i will have to hold off on due to my current phone situation. (the lcd screen is out)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bowlopho:
that, or instead of calendar+ you can use spb diary. there you can set a specific height of the plugin.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
thats true, thats what i use... but i wanted the theme itself to be full featured and FREE lol :D aside from having to pay for UL, which is worth it.

UPDATE:

if you havent seen the dialer that was made by CBUS (thank you soo much!) the dialer is perfect... but i also have custom mortbuttons setup for the games folder and utilities folder... once i have my phone working ill upload the video, set up cab, and easier instructions...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wearefree:
That's not a bad idea, except I have multiple plug-in that will change height :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cbus:
Check post #52 - just uploaded pick of iStyle dialpad skin I made for your review!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
Another update

My warranty exchange should be here in a day or two. (Its a referb! laaaaame) You spend all that money, it goes bad and you get a referb back *sigh*

Anyway, whining aside, I will post the video and updated instructions within the next few days. For now, enjoys cbus's addition to the iStyle theme with the dialer included in the first post.

The mortbuttons and updated shortcuts will also be released soon enough, so stay tuned. Enjoy guys! :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bowlopho:
can we get a screen shot of the dialier?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
it should be on the first page :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
i got my phone from warranty back!

I will be posting all of the necessary updates very shortly (a video, easier installation setup, and some shortcuts that much the theme) stay tuned!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] black_shadow69:
Thanks sir

Downloading now...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
awesome,

let me know how you like it... im looking for feedback

i have some plans for an updated version
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Moe5508:
iStyle cab files step by step

I tried to do the Aurora theme install but had no luck...let me try this and follow the instructions to the letter...looks awesome by the way. Great job!

I'm a lazy guy...don't like this copying into folders business, so I made cab files of the different steps in the process, starting from 0 to 9...please follow the instructions to the letter and install all cabs to your device memory (and not SD card).

Works great! I love it!:D

iStyle Cabs Step by Step
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
DUDE! you are my hero for this! thank you kindly sir. Ive been meaning to do this, I just havent had the time to learn how to create cabs. I updated the first post a little bit, the video is on its way. The only thing left to do is create a cab for the mortbutton shortcuts that youll see in the video.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
BUMP!

the 1st post has been updated with a much easier install process... thank Moe5508 for that, enjoy!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Synned:
Installing now...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] komechocha:
****..i installed this but my phone is frozen,it wont do nothing.what the hell should i do??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Synned:
Everything seems to be working but my screen is squished...I think because I still have the stock start menu and bar. And how do you change the font of the clock?

What would fix that?

Thanks

Joe

BTW Looks amazing so far.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Synned:
I can't get the dialer to work on my mogul. I uninstalled my previous dialer.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Steve Sharp:
Very nice theme, thanks for sharing.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] yunus12000:
Try doing a soft-reset..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
To those of you having install troubles... make sure you dont have any softkeys on your today screen. Also make sure ultimatelaunch is the only active plugin on your today screen. Be sure to soft reset! Also, to take the squished look away, go to the display settings and make sure you set the font to its largest setting... to find this setting go to

start-settings-system-screen-text size

as for the dialer, make sure you have the original htc dialer installed. Soft reset to make sure its installed. Then install the cab... and soft reset again.

Hope that helps some of you... if not, ask away... oh, and there isnt a different clock as of now unless you get a completely different battery status theme
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Synned:
Is the vista looking start bar part of the theme? Mine didn't change. I'm just trying to work out some bugs here..sorry for all of the questions.

Thanks

Joe
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Moe5508:
Try a soft reset...I discovered that solves any misaligned icons and refreshes the "Today" screen correctly...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Synned:
I tried. The screen is all misaligned I think because I still have the stock top start bar, looks different from the one in the theme.

Also, my batterystatus clock has extra parts, I'm going to try to look at the theme file to see if I can find them.

EDIT: Got rid of the extra rows by holding down for the menu to pop up on batterystatus. Loving this complete theme, thanks a lot Michael!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] socrate007:
Very nice icons! I really dig the glossy effect, they look like real buttons!

Your theme looks great...

I have the HTC Touch, so i don't think it would work good on this PPC but I wanted to congratulate you !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ya Boi D:
I have the Sprint Touch & it works perfectly ! The only issue Im having is the batterystatus icons dont look like the ones in the screenshots (which are transparent) & the START bar at the very top of the screen hasnt changed (even after numerous resets) ........GREAT THEME !!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluemetalaxe:
its nice, but i made this weeks ago with my icons: http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showpost.php?p=1035359&postcount=578:D

so i cant really see anything special or new on this theme;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
very niiice sir! i love how original it is. ill show you the actual theme i use in a video very soon soo that you all can see the true intention i had with iStyle. the unfortunate part is that i dont use very much freeware, which is why the theme is the way its posted. for example, the start bar is a WAD theme... and all my today plugins are SPB products. ive also spent a lot of time creating custom shortcuts with mortbuttons... it all flows quite nicely for the way i use my tilt. however, to those of you using touch devices, it should work with any QVGA wm5/6 device...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
if you can, post a screenshot of what your batterystatus theme looks like, that will help me solve your issue
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
glad everything worked out for you and thanks, if you like it now, just wait till you see v2... i call it the *M series* lol
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Synned:
Where can I find VS Contacts? Is it vs contacts or vs caller?

Thanks man

Joe
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] komechocha:
it says error opening shortcut
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] komechocha:
error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] j.a:
READ the 1st post!!!

!!! All the shortcuts will be different on your device, to change them, hold your finger on a tab at the bottom of the today screen to pull up the menu. Click "Settings" - Pick the desired tab and click "Change" - Highlight "Apps" - then click "Change" - Pick the icon you want to change its shortcut. Its all rather self explanitory, but im trying to make this "NEWB" proof so I dont have to babysit this thread too much if you have any questions pm me.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
It made by virtual spaghetti and its called VsCaller... It looks like pictureflow kinda, allows custom backgrounds and its finger friendly if you use fstouchflo
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ya Boi D:
How did you put the icons on the bottom of the screen?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
you have to set the fixed page position in the display tab of the ul settings. also make sure you have all your icons preset to the correct size before hand and that they are also congruent.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluemetalaxe:
this are just the tabs of Ultimatelaunch. the grey bar behind is part of my wallpaper. i extracted the original icons from htc home and made icos of it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ya Boi D:
Could you please post those HTC ico's ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ya Boi D:
Michaelr219, when will you be posting your NEW theme that you were referring to a few posts back?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deedee:
How do i get the new format start bar?

i have an issue with the icons overlapping the tab row on the bottom.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] steb0ne:
Anyone know why when I install everything in order as listed, by the time I get to the Ultimate Launch icons cab. after the soft reset, the PPC won't start back up. It freezes up. I installed everything on the device and not the SD card.

I have the Sprint Mogul, w/ the latest ROM.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Moe5508:
I have no idea what your problem could be...your device maybe? But this works perfectly on my Kaiser...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
yea, idk what the problem could be either... for example, it could be your rom... or ul not working with your device orrr a conflict with another software on your phone. all i can recommend is to install everything except for the ul folder cab and make sure ultimatelaunch even installs correct (check by doing a soft reset) and then install the final cab... you might even have to soft reset after each install to target the weak link, but like i said... im not sure, sorry...

also, the update will be posted tonight... i wont have the new video, but ill upload newer screens and install files
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
this could be from a number of things, id have to see a picture to pinpoint what it is... but, my start bar is apart of wisbar advance, which is seperate from the theme. i dont think this has anything to do with why your icons are overlapping though
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deedee:
As installed there is a "row 4" the battery monitor on the front page, turning that off and everything fits.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] slowatsch:
Are the icons also available without install the cabs? I have my Own Setup, and would like to use you nice Icons but without all the rest :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ricztoh:
Hi guys, can anyone pls post the cab files here? I'm having no luck downloading on rapidshare. Thanks...:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
i had problems with rapidshare as well, as soon as the ftp is back up, ill upload it... until then, hopefully someone else has some other type of sharing account
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] djkasmic:
i have installed all cabs, i did some softresets but at the bottom there are no icons displayed. only colors instead of icons are displayed. i use the htc touch cruise.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Michaelr219:
tomorrow ill test and reupload the theme again... sorry to those who are having trouble... check back soon, things are going to be better and easier... stay tuned
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mugglesquop:
could you upload to somewhere other than rapidshare please :)

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Alienfreak:
There is a minor issue with your today theme which you should probably fix :)

If you get the notification of an SMS in the bottom bar your program only partially puts itself back into the front. The icon for the keyboard on the screen is still visible and overlapping with the middle icon :)
