If you're talking about the weather icons, I grabbed those from Katra's iPhone Weather Theme. I will of course cab them separately.

The other icons I made myself. :) The only problem is I made them for QVGA res, so I'll have to see about upsizing them for VGA etc.

Kinda busy right now, will cab later. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] ssamth2003:
its look great, awaiting for sharing. thks in advance
[Windows Mobile Themes] adwinp:
In my opinion, you should keep weather icon & text close (page1)

You're clamming too much text in 1 place.

page2: you should still add some small weather icons for the next days. People tend to visualize better when they see pretty pictures. ;]

Back to page1: maybe change the T S M etc texts for icons?

Other than that, it's a beautiful piece of work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Jumba:
Hey man, thanks for the comments. :) I did have the next three day forecast icons but thanks to titanium's 20 item limit I had to remove them to allow for other gfx on the panel. But I'll see about putting them back in.

The top icons on page 1, after much thought, aren't suiting the rest of the layout - maybe I'll save them for another skin - so I'm probably going to make them more glass-like and replace the letters for icons. Yes, I think the current ones are cool, but maybe not for this layout. Just needed someone to tell me this. ;)

I'll see about repositioning the weather icon on page1, might not be too hard to do while still keeping things in balance.

This is really my first foray into skinning. So once again, thanks for the feedback - it helps to make things better.
[Windows Mobile Themes] MichelDiamond:
If you'd move the Background before the

<Layer ID="Page" Clip="False">

- you'd have 2 more images.

And hey - therefore that the Graphic- and Skin-Cabs are two different files, you can put more than one .plg (and according JMLSpecial...mscr) into the Skin-Cab - so everybody can choose his favorite.

I would like the Page1 as it is - and only on Page2 the Icons (if possible because of limit)

And yes - the Top-Icons looks futuristic and would more harmonize with Digital-Clocks (or a futuristic Analog Clock) - but I'm sure, you have your ideas :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] adwinp:
I think that the icon is well placed (if you move it, it'll destroy the harmony of the skin).

Just think about repositioning the temperature text.

;]

[Windows Mobile Themes] adwinp:
@Jumba: what Titanium theme are you using (bronzeres.dll)?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Jumba:
I tried this and am having no luck. :( I made an image called bgpanel.png and put it in my skin's sys folder. I then created the reg key (under JMLToday) called "bgpanelPNG" pointing to "\Program Files\JMLToday\sys.MySkinName\bgpanel.png", and placed the following into my .plg like you suggested.

...

<Image ID="bgpanelPNG"
Left="5"
Top="-122"
Width="230"
Height="233"
Opacity="0.7" />

<Layer ID="Page" Clip="False">

...

But the image is not displaying on either page.

The way I previously did it was to create the reg key bgpanelPNG under both Page1 and Page2 in the reg, then call the image after the <Layer ID> tag.

That works fine, and displays the image on both pages.

So I'm a little confused as to how to get the image to show when called before the <Layer ID> tag.

Any advice?

@adwinp: It's GlossBlack from m.carroll ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] MichelDiamond:
Let me think... Replace Image ID with Button ID - like this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=535444

(sorry - a little bit too much to jump between the apps at the moment :) )
[Windows Mobile Themes] drkfngthdragnlrd:
No reg key, do as follows...

<Layer ID="CManilamenuCondensed" Width="45" Height="39" Visible="False">
<Image ID="Icon" Left="2" Top="4" Width="31" Height="31" ScaleStyle="Stretch" [COLOR="Red"]Source="\Neo\kane.png"[/COLOR] />
<Layer ID="Page" Clip="False" />
</Layer>
[Windows Mobile Themes] MichelDiamond:
Thanx drkfng :)

And sorry Jumba - I've forgotten to say,that's only hard links are allowed, no registry.
[Windows Mobile Themes] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Another thought I had for the 20 Item Limit, normally the cpr only has 1 page layout (<Layer ID="Page"...>). I am not sure if this will work but maybe try having multiple Page Layer tags named after the pages. It's worth a shot.

Example;

<Layer ID="JMLTodayExpanded" Visible="False" Width="120" Height="52" Clip="False">
<Image ID="IconImage" Source="\Neo\Neo_Clock.png" Left="1" Top="1" Width="20" Height="20" ScaleStyle="Stretch" />
<Layer ID="Page1" Clip="False">
(Page1 Layout)
</Layer>
<Layer ID="Page2" Clip="False">
(Page2 Layout)
</Layer>
<Layer ID="Page3" Clip="False">
(Page3 Layout)
</Layer>
</Layer>
[Windows Mobile Themes] MichelDiamond:
I tried the same one month ago as I discovered the Item-Limit - didn't work (ATPluginInstaller gave me error message, but perhaps I had another bug inside - will give it a shot again)
[Windows Mobile Themes] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Try manually entering it, do not use ATPluginInstaller, It's designed for known working formats, not trying custom code.

EDIT: Speaking of ATPluginInstaller, great app, but maybe time for someone to make a newer version as it is getting old now & custom code like this will give errors. Plus, it doesn't support writing to specific CPR's that aren't named Titanium_###.cpr. I wonder what ever happened to AppStar...

HUM: Just noticed something to do with T-Mobile's Myfaves Plugin for CHome. We're missing a dll.

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{3BA1B2A6-CFE8-4220-91C1-526CB9F00337}]
@="CMHOME MyFaves plugin"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{3BA1B2A6-CFE8-4220-91C1-526CB9F00337}\InprocServer32]
@="CMHOMEaddon.dll"
"ThreadingModel"="free"
[Windows Mobile Themes] MichelDiamond:
Then we should find it :)

OK - I tried again - and Plugin-Installer is only used to make a copy to cpr in JMLToday for changing skins. No different to manual edit... but Plugin disappears with Layers per Page (No error message, only disappear)

Yes - we need an update of ATPluginInstaller. Mortscript 4.2. provides also a customized Setup.dll.

Perhaps we should go on talking about the limit in the thread, which Jumba opened:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=544576

to have the finding in one place?

I'll answer there and set a link to this page
[Windows Mobile Themes] Montecristo:
Add email in expanded and collapse

How can insert the email received icon ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Jumba:
Better? I think it's working now...

The icons from left to right: Missed Call, SMS, Email, Alarm, Bluetooth, Wifi and Battery...
[Windows Mobile Themes] MichelDiamond:
Look at Skin "JMLToday_5.3.plg" :

<Image ID="[B]EmailPNG[/B]" Left="225" Top="58" Width="80" Height="72" Opacity="1.0"/>

<Text ID="[B]Email[/B]" Left="270" Top="92" Width="40" Height="40" FontFamily="Tahoma" FontSize="8" FontStyle="Regular" Wrap="False" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Middle">	<TextStage TextOffsetType="TextOffsetDropBottomRight" color="#00000000" TextOffset="0" BlurFactor="0" Alpha="1.0"/><TextStage TextOffsetType="TextOffsetNone" Color="#FFFFFFFF"/>
</Text>

@Jumba: Very cool :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Montecristo:
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] adwinp:
It might be a good idea to implement this in JMLtoday.

Instead of cluttering the menu with positions, we can thus make clickable icons, all the while redirecting a click to an app.

For example, clicking on the SMS icon will open tmail.exe -service "SMS" ...

This will of course need to be linked to a registry value, specifying what app to open on the button click.

It's a matter of rewriting the .plg/cpr

It's only my 2 cents.

;]
[Windows Mobile Themes] adwinp:
Nice (although not all icons are self-explanatory).

I assume you've made coloured versions of these icons, to use upon receiving a new notification?

For example: normal state, SMS icon black & white (or gray)

;]

New SMS: coloured icon.

Apart from that, maybe make a poll, asking ppl what they prefer: 3 day weather forecast or 5 day.

Some ppl prefer more, thus the poll.

;]

Other than that, I see it's coming along quite well.

^.^
[Windows Mobile Themes] Jumba:
Hey there, thanks for the feedback. :) Yeah I considered a 5-day forecast but there are two problems with this. Add more images and you hit the 20-item limit, so one of the earlier images doesn't show. Also with these nice icons it's a shame to make them so small on the screen. Now I'm sure the experience will probably differ on (Q)VGA so I'll look into making a 5-day forecast just for those ppl. ;)

The icons are actually from an icon set called Albook - which I've manipulated a bit, as well as creating a few that were missing. I kinda like the way they're a bit abstract, as long as the user knows what icon means what there shouldn't be a problem I guess. :) I wasn't planning on making coloured versions of the icons, but instead having it as in the first screenshot - if something isn't active then in its place is a blank "window" - which keeps the interface neutral and keeps the eye drawn to the middle of the display. I can certainly look at doing some lighting effects perhaps, that could work nicely.

Thanks again.

Cheers for now!
[Windows Mobile Themes] JMHL:
@adwinp : JMLPanex is one (future) solution to associate icons to programs...

see at

http://htc-touch-diamond.forumactif...ex-wm65-titanium-a-venir-principes-t14134.htm

A++
[Windows Mobile Themes] MichelDiamond:
Yes - I like this too, to do so at the moment :)

But with "ID Buttons" and rewriting .plg/.cpr it's not possible - but with a new project of JMHL, which I'm Beta-Testing and making some proposals :)

@Jumba: It's getting better and better :) (For Icons... you can use a light fading backlight effect without color, if an icon is actived)

And for 5-day-weather - you know the "spiral" from my WM7-Theme... perhaps that would be adequate for the eye-candy-Icons :)

Therefore, that you have different .cabs in JMLToday for Images and Skins - you could .cab 2 or 3, you still have... and can do others with the time (and all the others can change and share it, too) - you know - one of the reason, why I made this system for Cabbing :)

Keep up your great work!

Micha
[Windows Mobile Themes] Jumba:
Sorry it's taken a while.

A present...

Katra's Weather Icons. These are very nice, no clipping of the edges so everything feels just right. :)

Edit: I have moved the download link to here. The new set is slightly smaller, thus the file size is about half.

Enjoy
[Windows Mobile Themes] MichelDiamond:
Are hyphen (-) perhaps not allowed in file names? But I would say - it's the most traffic at this time (and weekend) - and so you'llget a timeout.

Perhaps you could try it again tomorrow? The other Uploaders have to much limits...

What's the name of "meteo.???" - that I can link it in #3 and write the new standard-name in red letters beneath?

Thank you! Really great icons
[Windows Mobile Themes] Jumba:
Hey there

The meteo is called: meteo.Katras_Weather

I'll try again tomorrow, maybe the system is overloaded right now.
[Windows Mobile Themes] adwinp:
Nice work.

Except the icons are most of the icons are 240x200px

We could save space with minimal quality loss, resizing to 120x100 (or less) with a 95% quality setting.

Apart from that, nice work. ;]
[Windows Mobile Themes] MichelDiamond:
Could you do it perhaps? - and if you have problems with Cab-Framework -please ask Jumba.So every user can choose. I would propose (ok - it's more than yours: 185x157 ) - so they would have the same sie as the High-Res-Icons - and so there's no resize necessary within the Skins? Don't know - reduce the PNG-Quality and this resize - could save a lot, right?

Thanx

Micha
[Windows Mobile Themes] adwinp:
If you use unix, it's pretty straight forward (you need to have imagemagick installed):

mkdir resized; for x in *.png; do convert -alpha on -resize 185x157 -quality 80 "$x" resized/"$x";done

If you use windows, try a batch converting program (be sure it is alpha channel aware).

Here's an archive with 95% quality: http://mauritz.pl/resized.7z
[Windows Mobile Themes] MichelDiamond:
Thank you, adwinp :)

@Jumba: Could you have a look, if you'd cab them? I think 800 kb are better than 2,5MB Should work with your skin immediately (if you'd use Scalestyle=Fit)

Perhaps then the upload works better,too
[Windows Mobile Themes] Jumba:
Okay, so I worked on the icons a bit. The only colour is in the bluetooth green and wifi not available icons, the rest are monochrome. I think they're ready.

How do I save a png at a different compression level? Photoshop doesn't have the option, and I don't use linux. ;)

I don't really want to reduce the size of the icons as the actual image is quite small, eg. a 100x100 pix sun in the middle of a 240x200 frame - so I'm already stretching them to fit even on the Omnia's screen.
[Windows Mobile Themes] MichelDiamond:
In Attachment of adwinp there are the already resized icons.

You can call them like you want, e.g. meteo.Katras_Weather_smaller

In your cab you can use by default the other ones, if you want - and so the user can choose afterwards by Chome-Editor, if he hasn't much Main Storage. ok? :)

(I think GIMP can do it on Windows and I think, IrfanView, too)

The monochrom icons are looking fine! :)

Micha
[Windows Mobile Themes] adwinp:
DON'T use Irfanview.

It doesn't support 32 bit / alpha channel PNG saving.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Jumba:
Okay, I re-cabbed the smaller icons. :)

Update: See v2 at this post.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ssamth2003:
Jumba, can you packed it and make all as a cab. it should be helpfull for every one whos in tereston your work. specially to me. Thks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mr.jaguar:
I may have missed some stuff, but what resolution is this?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Jumba:
Hi, just to answer some questions...

I'm developing the theme on my Omnia (240x400) but when it's done I'll convert it to all resolutions. I have just finished up the landscape view, so now it's on to converting and cabbing. Will release a cab probably later today. ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] ssamth2003:
very good news of the day..thks and waiting your share.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Jumba:
Hi guys, I noticed a small error in the Katra's Icon Pack I posted earlier. One of the icons was incorrect, so I fixed it.

Please re-download, and sorry for the hassle. ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Jumba:
Jumba Analog Duo Skin Released - Please Test!!

Presenting Jumba Analog Duo for JMLToday 5.3 - (W)QVGA/(W)VGA

Featuring a new custom interface, new weather icons, dual time zone analog clocks, day/night clock face switching, etc.

Update: I've made a digital version.

To install:

1. Install the latest JMLToday and JMLibrary

Make sure you have Mortscript 4.2 and at least JMLToday 5.3b installed as well as v.2 of JMLLibrary. Run the program (JMLToday) once before continuing.

2. Create a blank panel with CHome Editor (only for the analog skin)

Next, this is important, download CHome Editor from here and create a new blank panel, like in the screenshots below. Position this below JMLToday and click "Save Order". This creates some extra room below the JMLToday panel. Note, I am working on a version that won't require this step, but will have less vertical space to work with.

3. Download Weather Icons

Install "Katra's Weather Icons v.2 Smaller" from here - If you already have these then skip this step.

4. Install the cabs

Download and install the .cabs from this post in sequence...

a) "Analog_Clock_2" for the foreground clock (If you already have this installed from here then you can skip it... Install this only for the analog skin)

b) "Analog_Clock3_b" for the background. (Only for analog skin)

c) "Jumba_Glass_Icons" - Needed for the theme.

d) "Jumba_Analog_Duo" / "Jumba_Digital" - The main theme files.

5. Install Skin

Open JMLToday and select "Change Skin". Then press Update!

Enjoy!

Please test this skin - I converted it to all resolutions using PLG Converter and haven't been able to test the result. I'd imagine there will be some resizing errors to VGA and QVGA. From WQVGA to WVGA should be fine. Post screenshots if anything looks messed up, thanks!

The day/night switching clocks are set to change between 8pm and 6am. This isn't automatic though, you still have to press "Update" to see the change.

And yeah, I know Titanium loves to mess up the layout when switching between portrait/landscape. Just hit Settings > Refresh Titanium to fix it.

Enjoy. :)

PS - Why so many cabs? So you can uninstall, say, the skin and still be able to use the icons for other skins. Cool. :) Let me know if there are any problems.

Full thanks go to Katra and Albook for the icon inspiration!

Make sure to install to My Device, not My Storage or Storage Card. ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] MichelDiamond:
Since PLG-Converter exists ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=543656 ) :) That's no more problem. The onlyquestion: Hs the skinner already made it or do you have to do it on your own with the tool (and probably share it, too)

@Jumba: Great work!!! Also the ideas for the landscape-Version!

The Icons above - only one question -is it a single Graphic or a row of single icons? (I hope the last :) ) Then you will see in 5.4 some nice possibilities.

I'm also looking forward to the day and night view of the clock - now I know, when I have to be tired :)

Micha
[Windows Mobile Themes] Jumba:
Hey Micha, thanks! I am very happy with the final result. To answer your question, they are separate files. ;) Looking forward to the possibilities 5.4 will bring.
[Windows Mobile Themes] adwinp:
Nice work.

Except, that creating the blank panel doesn't help. Check this out:
[Windows Mobile Themes] ssamth2003:
thks very much Jumba for a very nice work, download now.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Jumba:
Hey man, thanks for the feedback. It looks like you're using a non-standard Titanium layout, I'm not sure but that might have something to do with it. When you create the blank panel in CHome Editor, be sure to hit "Save Order" before exiting.

Anyone with QVGA and VGA resolutions, please send me screengrabs of how the skin looks on your devices. Looking at adwinp's screenshot it looks like there are some adjustments that need to be made.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] adwinp:
Here's a quick'n'dirty mod with icons I use in my Titanium theme.

[Windows Mobile Themes] tommi5:
hi jumba,

great work!!! but some problems with vga on my touch diamond (see screenshot). installed exactly like your description. any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Themes] adwinp:
You must be doing something wrong.

I'm using a Diamond myself.

Though I didn't install via cab; I extracted and converted to OEM for my ROM first.
[Windows Mobile Themes] MichelDiamond:
Did you installed JMLLibrary? ;) (-> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4191732&postcount=2 ) Otherwise the Skin won't work

And if I compare Jumbas and your screenshot - the "red x" is the transparent background picture...

so Jumba could need the Registry-Entries from JMLToday - you can extract them with TotalCommander as File.

@Jumba: Perhaps it could be useful for some other resolutions, to modify your great skin as alternate version- so that it has no items below the active panel?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Jumba:
Heya

Indeed the back panel is not showing. When you install the glass icons it also adds the file bgpanel.png - then adds these registry entries:

HKLM\Sortware\Microsoft\CHome\JMLToday\Page1\panelPNG

HKLM\Sortware\Microsoft\CHome\JMLToday\Page2\panelPNG

If either the file or the registry entries are missing you'll get the big red x.

At MichelDiamond, yep I'm working on a more condensed version. ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] tommi5:
@MichelDiamond: yes, JMLLibrary is installed.

@Jumba: i think, the registry-key is wrong (i hope, i have found the right string):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CHome\JMLToday\Page2]

"panelPNG"="\\Program Files\\JMLToday\\sys.Jumba_Glass_Icons\\bgpanel.png"

the same for the string ...\Page1. i have JMLToday in the directory \Programme\... - should i change this in the registry?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Jumba:
Ah, it's a language thing.

For now please set these keys to \Programme\ instead of \Program Files\

I'll see about a language-independent version for next time. ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] tommi5:
thx. i've changed the keys, now its ok.
[Windows Mobile Themes] MichelDiamond:
Ric is back - he's a great skinner and will also collect the other skins - please inform him to add it (Link to attachment in xda-devs and Pic)

To start - he has a HTC-Hero-Style for you:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4193409&postcount=4

We will cab it, too - he must have a look because of the changes in 5.3
[Windows Mobile Themes] adwinp:
In fact, JMLlibrary is not really needed.

One less script to keep running.

;]

I'll upload my native wm6.5 rom later, with JML + Jumba's skin + mod as OEM-preinstalled.

[Windows Mobile Themes] ric69:
Sorry it's a wrong link with another theme i made :rolleyes:

I'm sure Michel will help me with this f****g cab ^^ can't make it ! (there are 2 parts -images -plg, I don't understand nothing lol)

He has done translation for all res. for this theme ... wait for him plz
[Windows Mobile Themes] Jumba:
Awesome stuff, ric69! Love the clean looks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] MichelDiamond:
Ric - you have PN

To install:

- both cabs install - indifferent which first

- choose JMLToday_Hero_AllRes.plg (if I have make something wrong with plg-Converter - please tell me)

- enjoy Ric's Hero :)

For later to switch back to Hero - with CHome in JMLToday change this keys:

meteo -> meteo.richero

clock -> clock.richero

(or use one of the other weather icons - how you like)

I only don't upload it- because it's Ric's great work! :)

Micha
[Windows Mobile Themes] Jumba:
New Jumba Digital released. Please see this post ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] teorouge:
Thanks everyone! I was able to grab a preview from your french forum, skin looks amazing! This is definitively my keeper, for now. :D

By the way, could you write the temperature and the forecast in the same line and adjust the weather icon position in main screen? Maybe it's a VGA-only issue, but I'd like it to be more centered and a little lower... don't you agree? Anyway thanks Ric, Michel and everyone... you're making Titanium useful and nice! ;)

EDIT: how nice, Jumba! Gonna test ASAP! Loads of nice skins, tonight! Do you think I could go back to my previous skin, if I install yours? :D

2nd EDIT: do you guys think we could use those icons in JML Today? It would be awesome!
[Windows Mobile Themes] magicalan:
does it work qvga? :]
[Windows Mobile Themes] ric69:
Hi,

You are right, with VGA it's a little on the right (but with some icons only - not all) you can modify the JMLToday_hero.plg at this line in your resolution :

<Image ID="Icon" [B]Left="86"[/B] Top="-11" Width="90" Height="90" ScaleStyle="Fit" />

Try "Left="80" and tell us if it works.

Ok for now, Michel help me with the cab, so here they are (FOR ALL RESOLUTION TOO :p )

[edit] Grrr, they are too big, i can't upload them ^^

link : http://www.2shared.com/file/7135922/868460cf/JMLToday_Hero_By_Ric.html

For this theme, you will need "titanium notification" in second plugin, and change the "bronzeres.dll" in a transparent one (I use >>bronzeres(none)<< but only for VGA) IF YOU REPLACE IT Don't forget to save the older ^^

Many Thanks to Michel and JML.

Enjoy
