CycloneSkins--Putting a 'Twist' into Your HomeScreens [H-Beta 1] [Production Stalled]

Great job on this theme. When you first announced it I was wondering if you could pull it off. I've read a lot of stuff in hack/dev by drklrd about making pure .cpr themes and I figured that would be the route you took. Talk to ookba and see if you can put these on the dash3g and maple. Almost everything visually is the small as far as resolution and pixel sizes. The folks over there are dying for something grand for their phones. Keep up the good work and if you ever want to come visit the dream forum I'm thinking of a theme release over there advice would be appreciated

another suggestion. on the clock panel. you should put the weather icon like the titanium panel does

Where should I put it...can you photoshop an image for me, ill see if i fit it in

for some reason i'm only getting misaligned text and broken icons? installing to device with everything but 96dpi.. i must be missing something.

Yeah, sorry for now it is 96 DPI only I suppose (I will add that to requirements). After i finish a 96 DPI version, I can commence work on a non-96DPI version (even though I do love 96 DPI so much)!

this is pretty nice my friend. i think it will be even better when you get the button swap figured out.

Yeah, I am really hoping that the button swap turns out well. The way I see it though, unless I can get someone to code up a program for me, I am going to be spending a good deal of time on my computer this weekend haha.

Screenshots I posted on Post #2 are from my phone. It does work. My disclaimer on the first post is only because I didn't put in a way to revert to normal (which i have figured out and will implement in the next release). As long as you backup the files I said to, you will be fine (assuming you are running 3VO, + 96 DPI + Topbar icons). Enjoy!

(I hope to release an update tomorrow...we'll see)

I got that same issue the other day. Will look into it.

What fixed it for me is clikc the MENU key (for that panel) and do a FULL UPDATE. That fixed that issue for me. Haven't had a problem since.

Hey, sorry for lack of update like I had hoped...anyways this is what I am up to

1)School work (priorities, priorities, priorities!

)

2)Horizon: fixing a little issue with registry (when updating from the Horizon B1 i uploaded to the Horizon B2 i have not uploaded yet. Expect next release to be Beta3)

2)Simple Fun: Hmm thats new! I have posted a Proof Of Concept of the first of a couple VERTICAL themes. These themes will hopefully take less time (as i wont have to deal with a swapper, which I am currently 'working' on!)

3)Boredom: yeah, sorta bored (because I can't work on these themes for hours on end...it becomes tedious) , so if anyone has any cool ideas for skins that they would love to see become a reality, PM me, and I will see what I can do

Hey All,

This is disappointing as much on my end as it may be on the end of people who used the Beta 1 of my Horizon Skin, but I must put it out there...

The horrible truth is that, as it probably already seems, I am stopping my work on these themes temporarily. I do hope to rejuvenate the lives of the Excalibur through a new look , but to attempt to create a 'revolutionary' CPR with the lack of decent documentation is too time consuming. In trying to make a horizontal theme, I was trying to do what Drkfngthdrgnlrd (a much more knowledgable person on the CPR file) was unable to do as of yet. I am taking on a different project that will hopefully replace this thread upon completion.

I don't want to let anyone down, so I am making a new project idea that may just simplify everything!

Thank You all for understanding.

Sincerely,

Max B.

PS: For those who want to assist in this new project, help would be greatly appreciated. You can contact me via PM and I will give you news through there. I need people with some skill in the .NET CF 3.5 (C#).

thought that this would help you... that is if you can get it to work to begin with.

Thanks for the link.

I have to admit that I was quite surprised to see this up after so long...

I am in the process of learning C++ (and expanding my knowledge of C#), so i SUPPOSE that maybe, one day, when I can do C++ well enough, I can revisit this and make something out of it...

no assurances tho!

(If someone can get me some of the files involved in that OmniaPro layout, that could help me out a lot!)
