No projects at the moment. Just beta testing a few Kaiser roms. I haven't been using UL as of late, because I've also been experimenting with HTC Diamond Touch3d app. But I'm around for anyone who needs assistance with UL. It's nice to see people posting their work. I'm looking forward to the next UL version.
[Windows Mobile Themes] PURESKILLZZZ:
HHHhmmmm . I am also playing with a kaiser now . Got a brand new tilt so going on a rom hunt ....
[Windows Mobile Themes] sujinge9:
I've just started to use UL recently and have been customizing the crap out of it with these icons. But It seems like these icons are not compatible as the icons for the tabs. Can anyone direct me to some tab icons. And also what are the sizes for the tab icons. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] bebic:
How I can change the icons size in UL? I have icons 48x48 pixels, but on the desktop all the time are very small. I have checked "Individual iconsize" and set at 32, 48, 64 and I dont see any difference.

P.S.

Sorry for my english :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] ricky_619:
Do you have HTC icons for the UL Header/Tabs at 48x48? Similar to the bottom bar of ThrottleLauncher.. I have this one (attached snapshot) but its 48x32..

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] ricky_619:
Sorry I forgot to attach the snapshot.. Here it is..
[Windows Mobile Themes] PURESKILLZZZ:
robo robo robo you assistance is needed here .........
[Windows Mobile Themes] robosiris:
It seems you have all the correct settings, except for the "Tab Header Pixel Height" setting. Here's what you do to increase the size:

(1) Go into UL config settings

(2) Click on the header tab and you'll see the "height" setting

(3) Increase the pixel setting (ie 45)

(4) Hit "ok" and UL config will close and you'll see the difference.

Remember, You can have a 48x48 icon in the tab header, but it won't display the correctly if you don't adjust the Tab-Header's pixel height first. Hope this helps.

sujinge9, These steps might be helpful to you as well.

See I knew you would have the answer ....

Hi,

Dcinobar doesn't seem to work, the bottom bar stay on top of the icon for some apparent reason. I am using vogue with vitveto new kitchen. Anyone has any suggestion on how to fix it?
[Windows Mobile Themes] robosiris:
The cause can be several reasons,

(1) ensure that you name the created in the windows/startup folder "dcinobar", not "shortcut to dcinobar".

(2) Sometimes "dcinobar" doesn't play nice with certain roms, ie - Garmin rom for kaiser, which is the one the I'm using now.

(3) try similar apps such as "pBar" or a "todayshrink" (something like that - the name escapes now).

Hope this helps.
[Windows Mobile Themes] caretaker22:
I tried all the programs but it doesn't work so well... pbar is a task manager is there a away to remove the bottom bar with pbar? anyways thanks for your help!
[Windows Mobile Themes] robosiris:
If PCMTodayshrink located here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=2371911 and Dcinobar didn't work, it sounds as though your rom (or perhaps a application) isn't playing nice with those apps. I was under the impression that pbar also removed the bottom bar. I may be wrong. I recommended posting your question here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=398571 , you may get some additional insight that help you resolve the issue you're having.

New ions New icons ... Im waiting .....
[Windows Mobile Themes] robosiris:
The main goal of this thread, which I stated before, was to give everyone the tools (and some ideas) to create and post their icons for UL. I feel I did that sucessfully, as I see many new creations in this and other threads.

Also, it was, (and still is), my hope that this thread can serve as a resource for anyone wishing to create new and interesting icons, not just for UL, but for other apps as well. It was never my intention to keep creating icons until eternity, lol.

Simiilar to Herald and Kaiser rom kitchens/tools, those are the core/main tools to create the nice roms that you and I use. Those kitchens were generated and posted so that people can create and post their own unique roms for others to use.

Of course, you're always welcome to create and post some icons as well.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dogshit81:
Anyone can help. Got this problem of changing the icon for programs it does not display. But no problem for the tabs icon. Thanks please help.
[Windows Mobile Themes] robosiris:
There can a be a few reasons for the icons not displaying. Are the icons you're creating (for UL) on your computer viewable on your computer. It should be. Did you follow my directions to the letter on first page of this thread?
[Windows Mobile Themes] dogshit81:
ok problem sloved i reinstalled from another webby it works already.

Just one more question anyone knows how a program that display the full screen for wheather. Wanna make a tab for it notice weatherpanel possible but must use the manila theme.

Oh one more thing is that I dont wanna display the tabs below just wanna use gestures any idea how to get rid of the tabs. I make the height 0 is that the only way??
[Windows Mobile Themes] robosiris:
To my knowledge, yes, that's the only way to eliminate the tabs, and only have the gesture control.

Regarding the weather program, you way want to shop around the forums for that. UL pretty much works with anything.
[Windows Mobile Themes] bigbrekfest:
I have a similar problem. i can change tab icons, but when I go to change program icons, it only displays the default opera icon (same icon it displays in the explorer windows). i have set the icon size within the tab to be the same as their native sizes, still no dice. and i'm pulling my hair out!!! help?

EDIT: ok never mind. i was trying to edit my existing program links, which were not xp-icons. anyone having the problem, re-do your link as xp-icon so you don't end up posting dumb posts on the xda board!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] dogshit81:
I reinstalled again then it works. Noticed when I was using the one that was giving me problem the tab for choosing icon is called icon.

Reinstalled when i clicked new they will prompt to choose xp-icon with or with out words. The tab now is called xp-icon. Dont know why this option came out but it works well for me already.

The worst is cant get support from them as you must know russian. Great program but no english support
[Windows Mobile Themes] robosiris:
Ultimate launcher is one of my favorite launcher application. It's extremely customizable, yet it can cause headaches, lol, because there's so many way you can customize it. Glad you got it working.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ppclover:
Still taking requests?

I have been using your icons in both UL and RLToday for months and GREATLY appreciate your work. I have spent a few hours trying to make my own using IcoFx, but I cant seem to get it. If you have time could you whip up this icon? It is for software we use at school. I need a 32X32 .PNG, but I will take whatever is easyest for you to make. I HAVE been able to figure out how to resize and convert from ICO to PNG using IcoFX.

Thank you again for sharing your work with the community!

[Windows Mobile Themes] robosiris:
Haven't done this in a country minute:o. I sized it 48x48, 32x32, and 16x16.
[Windows Mobile Themes] LeAdReW:
could someone upload prado icons with larger size?even better if in png format???
[Windows Mobile Themes] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Do you happen to have any icons for Sports Illustrated, like the ESPN icon?
[Windows Mobile Themes] freddy_krueger:
hi , i've tested different sized icons in UL , i found it cool ; but tell me whats your opinion

All semi transparent
[Windows Mobile Themes] robosiris:
FatBoyExtraordinaire, I don't have any Sports Illustrated icons at the moment. But making them is extremely easy though. You should give it a shot.

LeAdReW, This is what I have for now, but it's in ico. format

freddy_krueger, I think your icons are good and looks clean, and different from the norm. Kudos to you.
[Windows Mobile Themes] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Does the icon include the bar and text as well? If so, that's pretty cool twist on the original icons.
[Windows Mobile Themes] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
I would love to but I'm not exactly the most artistic or computer savvy.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ppclover:
Thanks a lot! it was perfect.

[Windows Mobile Themes] dorutec:
Please help me to get bigger icons, for two days i tried anything, searched this forum and still nothing.
[Windows Mobile Themes] robosiris:
If you want to resize the tab or sub-tabs, you should be in the tab section, not "header" or "display".
[Windows Mobile Themes] dorutec:
Also i have problem with icons. If i make them big will only show the Opera "O", if i make them show a custom icon it will only be small.

First two icons are custom (program-icon), second two are from the .exe of program (XP-Icon 32 bit) and fifth is custom (XP-Icon 32 bit + custom icon).

Please help!
[Windows Mobile Themes] dorutec:
I managed to resize but i found another problem, see #231 :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] robosiris:
A few here encountered the problem you're having, and there's a solution to it. Did you go through my instructions and read through the thread?

Did you "check" the "Individual Icon Size box, and set both pixels to 48. That should do it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dorutec:
Believe me, i read several times entire thread, last thing left for me was to seek help :)

With 48 and individual is even worst :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] dorutec:
Finally i solved the problem. My Diamond simply needs bigger icon, for example 96x96.

For those who have same problem, just take .png icons, resize with photoshop then make .ico the same size as .png resized.

Also i found how to put text UNDER icons, not on. It needs 2 different size of the same icon, one for normal one for pushed (bigger for pushed, of course). UL uses the space for bigger icon so if smaller icon size + text height <= bigger icon size then should be fine.
[Windows Mobile Themes] PURESKILLZZZ:
Well my friend i think it would go on for eternity. As new developments come out , new movies , hot chicks people will want something to reflect it . You did a GREAT job at starting and maintaining this thread.
[Windows Mobile Themes] robosiris:
What up Pureskillzzz,

It's been a mintute since I last seen you. Hope all is well. Yeah, I created this thread to take on a life of it's own sort of speak. You're right though, new devices have come out with new displays, and some are comming out with next months. I'm looking at the X1, but will get it in late January and February, hopefully the price will decrease by then.
[Windows Mobile Themes] PURESKILLZZZ:
Its wonderful to hear from you as well robosiris ...... Yeah things are a mess here . But I am glad to be remebered. So what phone are you presently using i didnt see it in your signature. I clicked your funniest thread .. Dammm did they really get the am/fm watercraft working with a blow up doll ?????? ROFLMAO .......
[Windows Mobile Themes] robosiris:
At this point in time, I'm still using my Kaiser. I pretty sure they got the am/fm working with the blow up doll, and then some, lol.
[Windows Mobile Themes] PURESKILLZZZ:
OK ... I am basically a wing user but own a tilt that sits and collects dust. So any new projects in mind . Any new ideas for icons .....
[Windows Mobile Themes] Wolfkmann:
Just wanted to say that this thread has been helpful and inspiring in making my own icons. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] SaintNULL:
I know this is old, but I've searched and can't find anything.

Earlier in the thread, the prado template was posted. Does anyone have the prado+ template? It's partially translucent, grey instead of black and has a border.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kdash:
thanks for this works

just a question how do you make the sms counter
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
Yes please explain

In the mean time here you are, the Transformers and PC Style set 48x48 icons
[Windows Mobile Themes] bluemetalaxe:
he` s just posting nice icon sets he has collected and just converted them to ico files. thats all. think he can`t make new and most screenshots are also not from him. think this is neccecary to explain for all the questions here.
[Windows Mobile Themes] robosiris:
Wow, thanks a million, I know it had to take a country minute to convert, resize, crop, etc:D

I created a brief tutorial for installing UL Icons in post #9. If I may, I will put the icons you made (and give you credit for converting pngs to icons), and include put in my second post. As time passes, I'll coninuously update my postings on the first page so that everyone wanting to download/use icons won't have to read through lots of posts. Thank you again.

kdash, I'm afraid the "sms counter" ability doesn't exist with UL. I believe it's strickly a customizable application launcher. If you do a diligent search different threads in the "Development and Hacking" forum, you'll find what you're looking for.
[Windows Mobile Themes] 1999TL:
very nice work
[Windows Mobile Themes] PURESKILLZZZ:
Sweet looking icons the last link isnt working .. :(:(:(:(
[Windows Mobile Themes] robosiris:
Thank you much. I was revising some postings. Please try again within the next 5 minutes, it should be working by working then.
[Windows Mobile Themes] robosiris:
Read Post # 9
[Windows Mobile Themes] kdash:
thank you robosiris

wich programe you use for the "sms counter"
[Windows Mobile Themes] robosiris:
It sounds like you're looking for a today plugin that will allow you be notified if and when you recieve new messages right? There are loads of them and some of them are free. I personally use Mobile Shell V 2.0 and it works fine for me. Please type "today plugin" or "sms counter", in the search feature here.
[Windows Mobile Themes] zitoun:
Thanks RObosiris...

But how to have the bar on the top of the screen like on the first post with the battery status, time and signal stength? like the !Ph*ne... :D

Ho, and here's my contribution
[Windows Mobile Themes] jatt_inder:
anyone know how to remove the top bar where the start menu is???
[Windows Mobile Themes] robosiris:
Thanks for the contribution. I see you created a new icon thread. Very nice (smiling). I imagine more threads will arise as time passes. the more the merrier, lol. I look forward to seeing more of your releases. I plan to release some round video game icons tommorow. Right now, I'm enjoying some birthday cake with my little ones.

The application I use you see in my top bar is called "Quick Menu". For me, it's a small, FREE, and effective start menu replacement application
[Windows Mobile Themes] elFahd:
Robo thanks for your guide, helped my a lot.

Can you provide the .tsk themes for all the releases as well as the theme of the quick menu used in each?

best regards.
[Windows Mobile Themes] zitoun:
Ok thanks, i'll look for it...

One more question (and maybe you will uptade you tutorial with:rolleyes:)):

How did you do to have the text belowthe icons (contacts, photos...) with UL?

When i try to do this with "New/Icone XP with text..." The text is ON the icon and not below. I've looked for several times but i'didn't able to find the right settings...

If you can help me...

THANKS!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
Another set

Another small windowish contribution, there are 46 icons in 5 different colors and 5 sizes 16,24,32,48,64 each.
[Windows Mobile Themes] superflysocal:
I just stumbled upon this thread. From reading it in the beginning it appears OP had posted png of these icons and they now appear replaced by ico's. Can OP repost PNG's so that i can use them for other app like rlToday, etc.?
[Windows Mobile Themes] robosiris:
superflysocal, below are the PNG images to several icon packs I posted earlier, in case they want to use the icons for other applications. Also below are some of the themes I've collected over time. I take no credit for creating the themes, and props go out to those that do. Also, I updated my first post and included a link to another thread where I posted some icons and images. You might want to look there.

I also came across this http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm227/rmingram/Preview.png. these PNG images are called Highschool Dropouts REALIZED. Feel free to use them. In future postings, I will not only post icons, but also the original form as well.

Sometime tomorrow, I will post these (icons and original png form) http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm227/rmingram/RegionCapture1.jpg , http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm227/rmingram/RegionCapture.jpg

Elfahd, "Quick Menu" is a free, Start-Menu "Replacement Application" that will enable you to view battery/memory status on the top bar of your today screen. It's a totally separate application which can be located herehttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=340358&highlight=quick+menu

luiggi, your contributions are greatly appreciated and welcomed. I look forward to seeing more of your releases.

zitoun, good question. I'm not sure because I haven't really attempted that, but I'll look into it. Please keep playing with the settings. Sometimes when something is highly customizable, the more tidious is it to figure it out. I'm still learning myself. Maybe someone else here may be able to guide you in the right direction
[Windows Mobile Themes] PURESKILLZZZ:
Many thanks mate . You are awesome all is working ..... Have to test them out soon as they seem hot . Keep them coming ...
[Windows Mobile Themes] pelleman:
Thanks to all of you who contributed,

Really nice icons. The various game-icons look great but, since they are for games that people probably don't have on their pocket pc I don't know what to use them for.

If someone would put up icons for the following games I would be really happy:

- Sky Force, Sky Force Reloaded, I hate Guns, Westward, Arcade Park

and for the following apps:

- AltTab, eWallet, Lingvosoft Talking Dict, Resco Explorer

again, thanks for all the beautiful icons

Regards

Pelleman
[Windows Mobile Themes] robosiris:
Thanks for the compliment. I love Skyforce and Skyforce reloaded games :). I posted those specifc game images because it was requested. Keep in mind, they're just images and you can assign to images for application "Normal" and when "Pushed". Sometime today, I will make and post those particular icons (and original images) you requested. I'll try my best.
[Windows Mobile Themes] elFahd:
thanks for your reply robosiris. Can you please post the SKIN used for quick menu in all the today screens? as well the themes (.tsk) of the today screens posted?
[Windows Mobile Themes] character:
nice thread

love Ulauncher because it eats less ram meaning more programs for us to get into our phone too bad it is not a freeware...

hope to save more bucks to buy one

thanks a lot will use this one as son as I have save to buy one
[Windows Mobile Themes] zitoun:
agree with Elfahd. i've installed Quick Menu but i can't skin it like the iPhone. so if you can upload the skin file or post a tutorial (again lol)

Thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Themes] robosiris:
elFahd and zitoun, I have no knowledge about "SKIN" files for Quick Menu application. Also, the themes (or .tsk files) I used in several of my posts are located in post # 38.

Pelleman, here are the icons you requested. They are 48x48.
[Windows Mobile Themes] zitoun:
sorry, but i don't understand: the screen shots iphone like on the post#1 are made only with UL.

because i can't have trxt below icons and quick menu doesn't replace the windows bar by a iphone like bar

:(
[Windows Mobile Themes] robosiris:
The screen shots are to only show what the icons like only. What I post are only

Quick Menu application is a Start Menu replacement. It does not replace or skin the top bar, nor will it make your phone look or behave like an iphone.

BUT ... it will enable to you view the battery and memory status in the top bar of your today screen.

As far as the text below the icons, I don't have a solution, but what I can do is forward you to a more approriate thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=366796 for a solution, or perhaps someone here can provide you with a definitive solution.
[Windows Mobile Themes] pelleman:
Thanks Robosiris,

They look great. If you have time, would it be possible to have more "squarish"...like the iphone-icons, see the attached png.

Thanks for your effort.

Regards

Pelleman
[Windows Mobile Themes] zitoun:
ok thanks Robosiris. i tought that the screen shots where the final result.
[Windows Mobile Themes] bluemetalaxe:
Think you have to write to an icon developer, roborsiris is just postin icons he has found. The icon you posted is also from me.

This is a small appetizer and in progress:
[Windows Mobile Themes] robosiris:
Nice of you to stop by. very very nice, I look forward to your release.

[Windows Mobile Themes] robosiris:
Cool, but I can remember the person who asked in my thread, also asked in your thread before. So I'm assuming that this person is looking for variety, something different, etc. But in a nutshell, the more icons floating around the better.
[Windows Mobile Themes] PURESKILLZZZ:
I agree the more the better ......
[Windows Mobile Themes] pelleman:
Thanks Robosiris,

I'll try them

Good work

I might be doing something wrong, but when i try to select one of the icon for the "tab" its really small? Is there a way to fix that problem? GREAT WORK by the way!
[Windows Mobile Themes] robosiris:
Did you try checking the box for "individual sized" icons? Anywhere from 50x50 through 60x60 is good and that's what I use.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rednes:
Icons within a tab

problem: Can't change an icon within a tab.

If I try to go to > UL Settings > "Tabs" tab > Select tab that I wish to edit and press "Change" > "Items" tab > Select icon that I want to change and press "Change" > "Icon" tab > press "Browse..." to select the icon file I want.

I believe this is the right way to configure it, though the icon appears as:

As possible sollution, I made a new shortcut and tried to edit the icon that comes with the .ink file. Only thing is I don't know how to change the icon of an .ink file.

Thx!
[Windows Mobile Themes] caretaker22:
I made a mistake.... slap in the face... You are right i set the icon to small.. USER ERROR! lol... GREAT ICON the best i seen yet! thanks for your hard work!
[Windows Mobile Themes] zitoun:
Here's is my result :

Icons here
[Windows Mobile Themes] Yippi:
Hi Rednes,

select as icon not the program-icon button. try with xp-icon. after that you can change the icons.

Glad it worked out and thanks for the compliment.

Here's what my screen looks like now:

woah , so many beautiful icons , i love theme . Thanks all of u guys !:D:D

keep goin on !
[Windows Mobile Themes] yeller:
i think it would be pretty kick ass if you (or anyone) could post screenshots of your settings pages or a layout file or something so we could have our ultimate launcher's look like yours. for instance, i'm not sure about the spacing of the icons.. how far apart do they need to be? sorry if something similar was already posted.
[Windows Mobile Themes] itje:
this is my setup, but working on it

Only problem I have is aligning the bottom tabs to be same as the launch icons.

Im missing some prada icons, I have the png's but I cant seem to make correct icons of them, so if anyone have the whole set as working icons, please post them :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] robosiris:
UL Settings\Change\, then "Display" tab, and you'll see "Margin between icons (in pixels). Set "Horizontal" and "Vertical" to "0". Click ok and you're done. That's what my current settings are and the result is shown on my screens. Because it's high customizable, the are some many settings, which is why I encourage people to play with it. If someone has a particular question(s) regarding UL, I'll answer them asap. The word on the street (sshh...), the developer of UL is working on the next version. So I'm looking forward to that release.
