[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] elshur:
Hello all

I need to know what is the easyest programming tool to keep on my new theme, especially to learn for the imminent arrival of WinCE7, i'd already install Visual Studio 2008 but it seems to be difficult for a beginner. Thanks

I am currently creating a skin for Titanium (CHome), so I present to you the beginning of my work and I advice for improvement. I move:

music

' ALBUMS - ARTISTS - MORCEAUX

Actualy on 1 page, it is just a skin inspired by Zune software, the right key goto wmplayer.exe.

​

videos

' ALL

Actualy on 1 page, it is just a skin, the right key goto wmplayer.exe.

I will try to skin this plugin as default music plugin

​

pictures

' BY FOLDER - BY DATE

Actualy on 1 page, it is just a skin, the right key goto pimg.exe.

​

radio

' default plugin

So it's the default plugin base on default CClock plugin, you can see your phone operator & date & time.

The right key, after installation, will lauch the FMRadio.exe (* see specifications)

NEW IN V1.4___The attached cabinet file for radio plugin include French & WWE mui file

​

marketplace

' WMMarketplace - OpnMarket

​

Page 1, you can start WMMarketPlace.exe by pressing SK2

Page 2, after installation,SK2 launch OpnMarket, a windows mobile essential freeware (* see specifications).

social

' RESEAUX - MESSAGES

​

Page 1, you can launch Windows Live

Page 2, you can access to your messages box

settings

' INFOS - ALL

Actually this page show my theme information and after installation of the plugin skinned for HTC Action Screen, you will access to differents control panel settings (* see specifications)

​

Default page, give device infos ;then install zuneHD_settings; then install zuneHD_xdaShutdown. To close, just push the title shutdown ;)

titanium

* Right <-> Left scrolls the pages of a plugin (Default Behavior)

* Top <-> Low scrolls plugins (Default Behavior)

* Windows key: launches the start menu (Default Behavior)

* Left Key "SK1" noted "zune" will lauch CHomeRefresh to restore Titanium as default so "radio" plugin (selected for visual balance)

* Right Key "SK2" launching various programs associated with each page plugins

specifications

* The radio plugin, settings plugin and social plugin works identically:

after installation of the plugin, then by pressing "zune" key (which launch CHomeRefresh.exe ) you can launch the applications skinned .
