So I decided to have a go at making all sliders Metro/WP7 style.
Maybe some people out there will appreciate this. I have also included my custom lock screen, which is just a modified version of the default Windows one.

All tabs have been modified as you can see from the screenshots.

Attached Files...

Metro Slider Icons - This is just for the main Sense tabs; Home, Email, Contacts etc etc.

Metro System Sliders - This is for all other sliders; Contacts, Clock, Footprints, Twitter, Media etc.

Lock Screen - The lock Screen. All files needed are in the cab. Please make sure you have any other lock screens removed before you install this. You need the default lock screen on for this to work.

Transparent Bottom Curtain - Makes Sense bottom curtain transparent (does not effect other system sliders).

Metro Blue Slider - Metro Blue Slider as requested (both sense slider and other system sliders).

Metro Slider Icons +Transparent Curtain - Same as default one but with a transparent bottom curtain.

Restore Stock LockScreen - Restores stock LockScreen

Slider Fix - Fixes verticle lines on some roms on the slider.

This works on my 1.72 Stock Rom, haven't tested it on any others. - Also works on Stock 3.14 Rom


Feedback, comments and pointers are very welcome!

They LOOK fantastic I think I have just found my new Slider. :)

One small request could you make the slider bar transparent?
Actually
Two small rquests could you also make the selector box around the slider icons blue. RGB 0,158,255 fits with the metro theme.

I have attached Grabs to show something similar, tho this theme is no where as complete as your. and I managed to edit the slider to my taste, but I don't think I could complete a full theme yet.

I have attached 2 more cabs, 1 for transparency and another one for metro blue slider.


-in almost all tabs I have the graphic bug you see in attached pic
-lack of new icons such as documents and programs tab

Thats a strange graphical bug, maybe the transparent bar will fix it?

If you can provide manila files of these missing tabs I can make update it to include those. I will also try and find these files on XDA, as I don't have those tabs myself.

I attach a Programs Tab standalone cab I found (disable sense-install,-soft reset-enable sense), if you need for tests.
and here's a thread about document tab.
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=614125&highlight=document+tab
Hope can help it, those tabs are both included in latest Artemis ROMs ,so I don't know if what I linked here works or is useful to you

EDIT: transparent cab does not work for me (manila 2.5.20) , could someone else report about this?

Install this addon to see if those icons change now to suit. If they do I will then re-cab the complete file again.
Ok, now the transparent cab works, I can see the new document tab icon when I am on another tab, but when I switch to the document one is displayed the stock icon :confused:
you're on the way , just another adjustment and will be perfect :)

trying to just save it as 480x640
but it wont save ..saves it as 480x800 still

Strange, it should work no problems, cant test it myself.

Open the CPR file in notepad and edit the first line of text to suit, then you MIGHT need to rename the file as well to LS_LockScene_480x640.cpr

Not enitely sure if that would work. Remember to reboot your device.

/apologises if that's what you already tried!

Ah yeh, found another icon for the selected tab.

Attached updated cab.

Does the programs tab work ok?

thanks, you got it! working good now :) .
Can't say about programs tab cause I've not yet updated my ROM, so I have only documents tab at the moment, but if this work, it should also that one.

The slider looks great, nice work.
Now a question off topic: I'm using CHT 2.0 and like the metro look a lot.
I cant get the lockslider to look alike, can you help me?
