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 :)

HTC HD2 (TMOUS)

You should try the latest Energy ROM, there's a Dinik themed one now.

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

      If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

      I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it

      Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
