Ya, i've been checking that site out for the past week, great source of information and programs.

The wallpaper though seems to be just for 1 window, not one with multiple windows it seems. Wonder how it will look on a phone with 7 windows.

Well on the HD2 if I choose the same home and lock screen wallpaper, you'd have consistency throughout. However, in those screens (as you can see in the time sig) I changed the homescreen wallpaper for another shot since the 3D puzzle wall just made it hard to see the home screen text - although it looks completely cool as most of the stuff is a 'glass' fx and the puzzle pieces show brilliantly through it.

As for how it will look on a Winmo 7 phone, utterly outstanding I'm sure ;)

Cheers!

wish you can add backgrounds to iphones i hate just having the standard black background to look at, with out jailbreaking it.

Totally agree. For the record, I was a faithful iPhone owner since launch and was always waiting for the iphone dev teams latest jailbreak so I could do those customizations. Now I keep myself busy customizing the wife's Android phone and my Winmo - good times indeed!

Have updated mine.

I've set my yr.no clock/weather widget on the main screen to load different apps (kaloer Clock, HTC Weather and Yr.no Detailed Weather Forecast) when clicking the left, right and weather sections of the widget.

Notice that the HTC Weather app never shows my "current location" forecast when I'm in my hometown....seems a lot of people have this issue although manually searching the town and adding it as a preset works fine. Kind of defeats the objective of the "current location" though..... Best to just use the yr.no widget as it's way better and more detailed at forecasting as you can see :)

IMO, they couldn't have made it much uglier if they tried.

In my opinion, I think it looks both nice and informative. I agree with Melfster that functionality and features are yet to be seen. Anticipating the release though so I can ditch Windows Mobile and get either an Android or Windows Phone device.

Homescreen:

I'm still messing with the homescreen layout, I'm basically messing with two styles so far.

The folder icons in both Homescreen are only place holders till i can find something better.

Any chance you can let us all know what you have used to achieve each of the things shown?

The icons are a mix of Suave and Matte Nano, Sauve for the apps and Matte nano for the dock icons. The time and weather box on the Homescreen is custom designed by me and i haven't released it as of yet. The UI is done by Matte UI (With a fair bit of customization by me). The SMS notice is part of iRealSMS. The lock screen uses Nobelis and Lockinfo (With some more customizations).

I also use:

- SBSettings

- Categories

- CategoriesSB

- Infinidock

- Dock Reflections

- Fivelrows

And a few other bits and pieces

    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.

    • Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug by Taras Buria Forza Horizon 6 was launched last month to critical acclaim (check out our review here), and it became a smash hit in an instant. Now, weeks into the launch, with die-hard fans clocking hundreds of hours, Forza Horizon 6 is facing a serious issue: save wipes. After multiple complaints on Reddit and social media, the studio issued a statement. The problem with missing saves came shortly after Playground Games promised the initial batch of gameplay tweaks and improvements. Unfortunately, there seems to be no temporary fixes for those affected by unexpected save wipes. However, the studio published a new support document with a few important steps users should try. First, affected gamers should open a support ticket immediately (go here to file one) so that the support team can try recovering the lost progress by reverting to an earlier save. Playground Games says this should be done the same day the issue occurs. Meanwhile, gamers are urged not to start new play sessions or create new saves. The studio also published a few things gamers should try to avoid to prevent potential progress loss: Ensure your Gaming Services app on PC or XBOX Series X|S console is fully up to date. On XBOX Series X|S consoles, disable Quick Resume for Forza Horizon 6: To disable Forza Horizon 6 from using Quick Resume, highlight the game box art anywhere in the console experience (Home, My Games & Apps, Pins, etc) and then press the Menu button, then go to Manage game and add-ons > Quick Resume settings > Disable Quick Resume. Ensure you are online when ‘quitting’ the game. Give your saved time to sync to the cloud before powering off or switching devices. Do not force quit the game during save screens. Do not power off the device during gameplay. Always "Quit" (console) or "Exit to desktop" (PC) once you've finished your play session, ensuring the save icon is not visible when you’re closing the game. Before turning off your console, shutting down your PC, or force-closing the Steam app, give your devices or clients at least a few minutes to ensure your latest progress has been synchronized with the cloud. This will reduce the risk of progress reversions as you switch between different platforms. XBOX Series X|S consoles, Steam, and the XBOX app on PC all include game save indicators that confirm your progress has been synced. You can read more about the bug in the official support document here. Forza Horizon 6 is currently available on PC (Steam and the Microsoft Store), Xbox Series X|S, and Game Pass. The game is also coming to PlayStation 5 later this year.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      If only Windows would have a toggle switch labeled "Get the latest updates as soon as possible" inside Windows Update settings... But nah, let's hide the new stuff inside a controlled feature rollout, even if the user is explicitly asking for the new stuff as soon as possible. Awesome idea!
