CycloneSkins
*Putting a 'Twist' into Your HomeScreens*
**Proud to be the First 'Official' CPR-Based Horizontal Theme for the Dash**

CycloneSkins aims to give users a chance to have awesome, revolutionary skins for their phones, each day of the week.

There will be a total of 7 skins when complete (maybe more after those 7). As you can see, there are 3 Proof-of-Concept screen-shots below, illustrating 3 of the Horizontal themes.

All themes will be CPR based, and take no more than 5/6 MB of space, and no more RAM than normally required by a Titanium Layout.

While unfortunate to some, these skins will be optimized for the following conditions
  • Excalibur running Ookba's 3vo ROM Ver 2.5.080809
  • Excalibur running Ookba's 96DPI
  • [optionally] Excalibur overclocked to 240
After having a good release, I will make it a project to adapt these skins for other ROMs, aiming to make these skins universally compatible amongst all Excalibur units running 6.5.


Main Update:


WARNING: BACK UP THE FOLLOWING BEFORE INSTALLATION:
  • /Application Data/Home/Titaniumpanel_media_topbar.xml
  • /Windows/Titanium_320x240.cpr
  • (In the Registry) HKLM/Software/Microsoft/CHome
  • (In the Registry) HKLM/nls/overrides
  • /Windows/Startup/Checkstatus.mscr


ITS FINALLY HERE! HORIZON BETA 1 !
Yup yup, Its true! So here is the details on this. Well, for starters, it is the FIRST CPR BASED HORIZONTAL THEME in development on these parts of the forums, but it is still sorta far from done.
Thank you to Stylez for cab'ing up the files necessary.
Thank you to Mr.Nick for your amazing Glass Icons!

Space requirements: 160kb (install to device)

As far as the phone ROM and extras:
-This will ONLY work on Ookba's 3VO Rom (2.5 for Sure, you can try others)
-This will work best with 96 DPI installed
-This will work best (if not only) with the Topbar icons for the 3VO Rom

Installation:
  1. Download the CAB file below
  2. Transfer to phone, and install to Device
  3. Do a soft reset to make sure everything is put into effect
  4. THERE YOU GO! You are running Beta1 of the Horizon Theme.

For now, these features exist in the Horizon Theme:
  • Each panel is a full screen
  • CComm panel has indicators on right side of active/inactive features
  • It is quite easy to read due to large size
  • Other fun stuff that I am forgetting to mention

These features are currently not implemented, but I hope to add them soon:
  • Horizontal Effect (Including button swap)
  • Better icons/graphics where necessary
  • On the Notifications panel, something similar to the CComm panel
  • Other features as per popular demand...




[old] I have a "working" version of Horizon on my phone now, however I have decided not to release it since it is a humiliation in terms of appearance. I have still to fine tune, fix, and change around some stuff, as well as add in the extra icons and text, etc. Screenshots from my DASH are posted just below here in post 2. These fine tunings should take a day or two tops (assuming I have time to work on them) and hopefully I can have this theme cabbed up for V1.0!
