Hello all!

For quite some time, I've been playing around with different interfases, looking for the one that would best fit my needs.

A few may have skipped my net, but I've been through WAD, Pointui, Ifonz, Winterface, etc etc, and believe me, etc etc etc

None of them seem to be the "all inclusive" I needed until after many weeks, decided to stick to Winterface, primarily, thanks to the work of davehutch and oscarbum with their Stickerface and Tenius themes which made Winterface a bit more palatable.

Yesterday I came across an article at mobility site which spoke about a Winterface version for the i-mate (http://mobilitysite.com/2008/12/vito-powers-i-mate-go/).

In a nutshell, it's a new Winterface version made for the i-mate, but here's the thing:

1) It's a 100% free version (aka, activated)
2) From what I've seen, it works on any wm5 and wm6 device

Why bother? Ok... Here's why: I understand that the "black" themes are having their moment, but the truth is they are unreadable in daylight conditions. And as crazy as it may sound, I use my phone outdoors.

So this version has BIG chunky icons on a white background which makes it very easy to read and see with all the Winterface benefits.

I'm sure the likes of oscarbum and davehutch can come up with some new icons, but this is the refreshing change I've been after some time.

Enjoy and let me know how you went with it.

fantastic, I never liked the small buttons of winterface when using my mda compact iv, it was too difficult to get them to work since the screen is quite small for a vga device.

works great, I can't thank you enough :)

hey man thanks for putting up the .cab file (been looking all over for this) but do you know if it'll do fine on a QVGA or VGA

Works fine on QVGA, even works on WM2003.

Only caveat with this version is it's not full screen and it is so easy to close Winterface by accident. I raised this with Vito and was advised to upgrade to the newer version.

That said I have tried to live with it but have ended up going back to a modded SPB MobileShell as it shows more on my home page.

How can you make this 'today-app' be the one always shown if you start instead of TouchFlo?

I have the Touch HD/Blackstone



/edit

nvm.
Someone told me that it's not a today-app xD
So it won't be a home screen for me.

Is there a way to make this interface the default today screen, I keep accidentally closing the program :(
