s2w Blackdrop HTC is a simple theme I created for the HTC touch. It may not be up to par with the array of themes in XDA that are really cool, but this definitely suited my needs and I thought I share it, in contributing to this informative and resourceful site.

Included within the theme are simple instructions. Also an important note of interest you need RLtoday, UL and HHC.

If anyone is interested feel free. Hope you enjoy.

Any comments would be truly appreciated.


****Buttons***
The 5 buttons seen are skinned to RLtoday and are active just simple tap on it, and it opens an app. I currently have my preference, file explorer, internet, programs, UL settings and music. Tapping on the clock opens the alarm settings and the Date opens the calendar.

These buttons are just an added feature I included through Rltoday, well besides the many tabs you can include with UL. But In my theme instead of having all these tabs showing in UL either by an icon or wording of your content, you just swipe left or right to open your programs and make as many as you want without all those tabs visible.

Its just a different way of using UL.

****Updates****

*****Update 6/8/2008*****
Anyone interested can download the theme at s2w HTC Blackdrop (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=26760)

*****Update 6/9/2008*****
Added new zip that includes the s2w blackdrop set. Making it much easier.

Enjoy

[caballero600]

It looks great!! Could you explain what are the three middle icons? They are the tabs of the UL?

[S2W]

Thank you.

The 4 buttons seen are skinned to RLtoday and are active just tap on it, and it opens an app. I currently havve my preference, so the icons; "home" open file explorer, "settings" open programs, "internet and music " are obvious. Tapping on the clock opens the alarm settings and the Date opens the calendar.

Hope you enjoy...

I want a different look to the clock, but I will place the seperator in my update for those that prefer it.

Enjoy.

Thank you and I am glad you think so.

I really like this and was easy to set so when will the red one be out? ;)

[robosiris]

Very nice theme. The only thing erking me is the military time thing and the landscape view. Other than than, it's smooth.

Glad to hear it was easy. As I tried to my the directions as simple as possible to install and easier to revert back to your original setup. Requiring no reg edits.

Red theme should be out soon. Editing the layout out a bit.

Thanks and enjoy.

I like smooth...

I will post a new update with normal time setup. As for the landscape mode I will be honest I never use that form of layout, just portrait mode. But glad you brought it to my attention. I will work on a landscape theme for those who use it all the time.

Expect one soon.

Thank you and enjoy.

A soft reset should take care of the xxx. Hope you enjoy the theme. Remember go to the link on my signature or 1st post to update to the newer theme version.

the bottom tray must be removed so it will fit nicely, look at the first pic and note that its not there

[murrun]

yes i noticed that just now. thanks.

[S2W]

Thanks mike... you are awesome as always.

Yes you need a program like Dciobar which is what I am using.

Hope you enjoy the theme... and look for the new version coming this week.

[murrun]

i really like your theme. thanks for this great work. sometimes ultimatelaunch(or htc home integration) annoying me but overall it's great combination.

Thanks Murrun... wait until the update and hopefully you will see the difference... HTC home will be an option and not necassary.

[S2W]

Update... added another page to the theme. Just trying to rework the home page a bit.

What today plugin are you using for your homepage? I would like one that shows my appointments and Ultimate launcher does not list Calendar as a today plugin even though it is.

I am using Rltoday for the home page within the UL setup.
