As promised.. as soon as I got all of the icons matching and looking the way I wanted I would post my screen shots. and here they are. Page 2 is empty because its where I will be putting the weather. Page 4 is my default page, which makes everything no more than 3 finger swipes away.

I plan on developing my own icons, and theme in the near future... but this is how it looks for the time being. ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] surrealbliss:
Look back a few posts and you should be able to find the 3 necessary icons to make your WMD profile match... on my screenshots the green speaker at the bottom is my WMD profile.

by the way... if anything else in my layout needs any explaining let me know and ill elaborate on it. ;)

Paper Theme

Theme based on handwriting, drawing and paper. This is pretty fun!

Edit:

Updated a bit. Refined the dark bar on the top of the bottom tool bar, changed the notification bubbles to blue.
[Windows Mobile Themes] qkzoo:
Done! Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] burnlea:
Great themes qkzoo and much appreciated as I know how much effort needs to go into producing them from my own experience with Obsidian

I agree, a link to each of the themes in the first post would be very useful

Nice Teach!

Question, maybe you can help me answer. I was working on my Paper theme, and wanted to change the notification bubbles to something else. I had it all done and installed it on my phone, but the numbers didn't show up through the bubbles. Any ideas why that might be? I'm scratching my head right now.

Edit: Nevermind, I think I just figured it out.

Bummer, looks like I just generated a request. The bubbles by default have a white font, that it doesn't look as if you can change. I'm going to contact the dev. and see if he might include this in a future release :)

Edit: Ok, pretty sure I'm happy with Paper as it is now. I polished them up a bit and re-posted them above in the original post. I originally wanted the notification bubbles whitish in color, to match the theme, but since you can't change the font color for those yet, I just made it blue. Looks pretty good in any case (at least for me doing it it does!).

To stay or not to stay?

here's an icon for TomTom.

And here's a question for all:

Should we make a separate thread for icons so it is easier to find whatever you are looking for, icons or themes?
[Windows Mobile Themes] burnlea:
Or 2 new threads, one for completed themes and one for completed icon sets.
[Windows Mobile Themes] teacher1960:
That's the point: an icon set never is finished there's always another app or website in need of an icon.

I think that you have to have an exchange of ideas, a discussion of themes and icon ideas, all the other threads with similar subjects are like that, all cluttered up with all kinds of posts. The important thing is to have directional posts in the beginning of the thread, but both themes and icons might be too much clutter after all.

Ps I edited one of the first posts to give directions to the different themes. Have a look at page 1
[Windows Mobile Themes] burnlea:
I agree. As reg66 who made the first post didn't respond to qkzoo's prompt, links in the first post were not an option, which is why I suggested starting a new thread. However, having the links on the first page in one of your posts is a good compromise
[Windows Mobile Themes] qkzoo:
Way to take initiative! Just above the post you made with links to the themes, is another post of yours, Teach. Perhaps make your first post for links to icon sets, and the second one for themes? Either way, the posts are easy to see for anybody just now jumping in.

Off Topic, M's theme links to megaupload or rapidshare or something. Why do people do that? You can attach files on here up to 8 or 10 mb, why do people like those file sharing sites so much?
[Windows Mobile Themes] kraski:
Well, finally got it. And it seems to be a standard full Androkkid 1.2 installation, no special theme included. And the backround referenced in settings.ini was somewhere in his My Documents set of folders, not included in the archive. Too bad. I was looking forward to trying a black theme.
[Windows Mobile Themes] burnlea:
And I thought my Obsidian theme was black. Must get my eyes tested:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] kraski:
Obsidian is awesome. It's what I use, most of the time. But there's lots of mid-grays. And I actually use some very colorful abstract backgrounds. So, on my phone, Obsidian is far from just black. ;) I've tried a couple of black Titanium themes & wasn;t impressed. Markolino came closest to what I was looking for when I want to use all black, but uploaded something other than what he showed. :(

Introducing Teachers BlackMood

A dark and Haloweenish theme for dark souls.

Just playing guys, I'm just playing with Gimp. I particularly liked making the Spooky Castle wallpaper from two very different photographs. I'll stick to icons in the future and leave themes to others.

Ps to burnlea: I love the way you have used "pagebuttons" with your obsidian theme
[Windows Mobile Themes] burnlea:
Thanks teacher1960.

A further 'trick' I have used is to place completely transparent icons in the empty spaces either side of the Page Buttons, the one to the left being set as a 'Previous Page' shortcut and the one to the right being set as a 'Next Page' shortcut. That way, the functionality is there without the screen appearing too cluttered. Particularly useful on my 'Contacts' page where contact shortcuts can be (and have been!!) accidentally dialled with 'clumsy' finger swipes:(

I'm not sure Simo realises what a flexible and brilliant 'toy' he has given us all to play with. For anyone using Androkkid and not having made a donation to Simo yet, I urge you to do so. Who knows what better things are to come if we keep him sweet.:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] teacher1960:
Taking about tips and tricks, One thing I find timesaving is to put all settingsfiles in the folder widget so you can easily acces them without having all settings icons upfront.
[Windows Mobile Themes] qkzoo:
Settings

Could you show me an example of one of your settings shortcuts? I never did figure out how to create those.

Edit: I got a couple of the sytem shortcuts from the shortcuts.txt, to work, but most of them don't. Any ideas?

Update: Nevermind, SKShortcuts makes creating system shortcuts a snap, good deal!
[Windows Mobile Themes] kraski:
Thanks. Got it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kraski:
I agree. I've already donated. I have TouchFlo 3D 2.1, Titanium, Pointui 2 Pro & Androkkid to choose from. Guess which one is usually active on my phone? :D So, I've donated both to Simo for Androkkid & Dirk for his continual flow of quality widgets. Both help make my phone more functional & fun to use. My phone gets used for business, ministry & my personal life. So, it gets used a lot. And anyone making that easier & more pleasurable deserves support. I'll now get off my soapbox & "return you to your regularly scheduled programming". :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] teacher1960:
I have added a new zip file of all the icons made after the first release, I have checked them out for "black and white holes" and as usual many of of them failed. I have touched them up and they should now be okay

You find them on the first page together with the other files.
[Windows Mobile Themes] burnlea:
Harlequin theme

Another theme, Harlequin, for those who prefer their screen a bit more colourful than Obsidian :D

Just unzip and place the Harlequin folder in the Androkkid Themes folder. It will then be available to select under Settings

The Title buttons (more than shown) can be found in the Harlequin theme folder along with a blank if you wish to make different titles (I can make others if you aren't able to do that). I set the size of the Title buttons to 128 x 32 in Androkkid settings and they have to be positioned, as for any other icon. They can also be used as shortcuts as per normal icons. For example, in my setup, I have the Contact button pointing to my address book.

The 'Lock' Icon on the Home page is not part of the theme but has been designed to match. I have included that icon in the Harlequin theme folder.

The graphics are the same size, but the text doesn't show up so clear against the darker background, so I wouldn't recommend using it with the text version.
[Windows Mobile Themes] qkzoo:
They could always change the text color in Androkkid's settings to white or something.

Unfortunately, the text colour option in Settings doesn't change the text colour of widgets, only icon labels:(

Obsidian Theme (continued....)

If anyone is using my Obsidian theme, you might like to try this matching digital clock skin I have designed. It is an alternative skin for the Hero Clock widget. Just unzip the file and copy the contents into the Hero Clock widget GFX folder. As this will overwrite the contents of that folder, I would recommend backing up the original files first so that you can reinstate them later if required.

Welcome dimi89

In both cases, use the Add new icon option by tapping on the bottom right of the screen. Then drag each icon and drop it at the bottom left of screen. A Settings screen appears. Set the first icon Type to SMS, set the second icon Type to Phone. You can select images of your choice for these icons by using the Image field.

Hope that helps

It's time to nominate theme-makers for a 2009 XDA Devvy Award

I have taken the lead to move along an idea that, turns out, someone posted about in March 2008: the idea of having recognition awards for outstanding achievement in app & rom & skin development at XDA. Now that Android has so rapidly matured to become a major competitive platform to Windows Mobile, iPhone, RIM, the mobile phone app culture has exploded. As such, it's time, I feel, to recognize great achievements here at XDA -- and not next year, but this year.

See this thread and add your nominations in several categories:

New Frames

I going to try out burnlea's Obsidian theme which I really like. But my transparent frames which I also want to keep, sort of don't fit .

So I developed a frame which I think of as dirty steel for Obsidian. I think they look good. Please tell me what you think.

You can find an example below and the new zipfile is uploaded to post # 2 on page 1

Happy new year from teach
[Windows Mobile Themes] burnlea:
What I like about this forum is the way development is moved forward by one person building on another's work.

Teacher, here is the transparent Obsidian frame I use myself that you might like to try.

Happy New Year to all!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] teacher1960:
Thanx for the frame it is very goodlooking but for me it becomes a bit too massive and dominating

I have made some changes to the "dirty steel frame" and upgraded the zip file on page one. Not a big change but I think it is better.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kraski:
Any chance of your posting a set of the icons with that frame? For those of us who are artistically challenged. :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Themes] teacher1960:
I have already posted some in a zipfile in post #2 on page 1, I'm working on a complete set and will upload a new zipfile in a day or two when I've had the time to test them thoroughly for "white and black holes":)

Having a similiar issue...

Ok, this answered the first part....been looking for that option...BUT...

For the voicemail icon I do get my voicemail count but when pressing the icon, it does not take me to my voice mail. When I check the link in settings, there is nothing there.

For Phone, SMS, MMS...same thing no links or count notifications.

Not sure what I need to do to get the voicemail and the SMS to show the notifications and then take me to the application.

I really love the application and look forward to the development of the widgets...I am going to have to break out the paypal for you folks on this one...I also like that I can "tinker" with it. I hope to be able to do a few themes in the future myself, if I can find the time.

Thanks everyone
[Windows Mobile Themes] kraski:
This, IIRC, is discussed in the Androkkid widget thread under Windows Applications & Games. Briefly, it involves installing iContact, creating a text link file to iContact & including your carrier's voicemail number. Then you create a shortcut to that link file. And, of course, using the process Burnlea described, change the nature of the shortcut so it'll show how many unheard voicemail messages you have.

Go to the main Androkkid thread (also in the Windows Applications & Games section). The first post includes a downloadable shortcuts.txt. It's a whole list of the content needed for .lnk files to give you various functions, such as the ones above. So, create those in a text editor, appropriately naming each so you know what they are. Then change the ending from .txt to .lnk. In Andrikkid, do a shortcut to each. And use the process Burnlea described to make the appropriate changes for icons & counts, etc.

See above. It's less daunting than it sounds. Have fun with it.

There already are a number of widgets. And some, like WMDClockPlus are multifunctional (including some of the functions you're looking for, above).

I'm hopefully awaiting the results of your having some free time to do some theming. :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] burnlea:
Kraski has answered all your points, but there is another alternative to iContact for voicemail, and that is a free utility called makephonecall.exe. A Google search will find various places where this can be downloaded. Your voicemail shortcut should then point to this utility, with your voicemail number set in the 'parameters' field.

Here's my first theme. It's meant to be be quite basic...

The download is on my site.

There's a matching WMD-Clock+ download as well on the clock's page.
[Windows Mobile Themes] chumpster:
There is an executable that will call up your voicemail (provide that your own phone number is the voicemail number). This was actually posted on one of the other androkkid threads, but with so many pages, I can't find it anymore. Anyway, I am attaching it here.

What you need for voicemail is MakeVmail.exe. Set the link in your icon to this executable and it should dial your voicemail for you.

Hope that helps.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Darkseid83:
Dyum, that has my screen looking so right ...

Good job
[Windows Mobile Themes] alecoddlyiv:
VERY NICE fits in well with the clock GOOD JOB
[Windows Mobile Themes] wmdirk:
I've taken it just a bit further by creating a matching clock skin (I've added a Clock background example in the attachments you can try out by renaming it to background.png and copying it over the background.png in the WMD-Clock+ heroOriginal skin). I've added on that can replace the WMD-Agenda background for the Coquette skins as well.

Problem is it's not transparancy, so the background needs to be an exact match of the clock's background for a perfect result. Creating one for your own background yourself guarantees this, and it's worth it!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Darkseid83:
