Here it is guys,

the skin i use. It isn't really  a new design. I've cut and pasted from many other skins and adjusted is to my needs.  The idea was to make a really clean skin with a minimal on graphics.

Most of the graphics aren't mine either it's mostly from the people on this forum.

I woud like to thank Lordtwisted, Rbg08, Blazinwolf, jhollin1138 and all the others on this forum for sharing their skins, graphics and ideas.

One note: The skin still has some minor issues i haven't had the time to solve. The biggest problem is that it will not load unless there is data in the buffer.  So when you hit the clear buffer button and then the reload plugin button it wont reload untill you first download some data with another skin.

So if someone knows what i did wrong i would really like to know, so i can fix the problem.




Some features:

- Update time turn red when the update is older than an hour.
- Moonphases and sunup/down alternate, so it doesn take extra space.
- Batterybar hasn't got the brightness control, instead it alternates the storage cards.
- Launchbar has 4 section with up to 20 icons per section.
- The weather has 4 forecast days.
- News has scrolling.
- The clocks are digital.
- The Poom is standard, with adjusted graphics.

The skin starts with Moon/Sun, Bat info, quiklaunch, weather and rss. When you push the poom button Bat info, weather and rss disappear and poom appears. Other combinations are possible but this was for me the most practical  combination.

With some combinations the scrolbarr appears,  i find this very ugly, but again i havent had the time to solve that problem too.

So feel free to use the skin, adjust is make it work for you.


Let me know what you think of it.

Hi Yogiman:
Love the simplicity of the skin. I have acouple questions and request for you.
1. How do I change the order of the different sections?
2. Can you add the owners info?
3. Also, in te order of asking; Can you add stock feeds?
4. The first launcher is 10pixels off. Starts at 40 instead of 31, and so on

Thanks.

1. You can change the order of the sections by cutting and pasting the whole region in the skin. for example: if you cut the bat info region and paste it at the bottom of the skin. the region wil show up as last.

2. Where do you want the owner info ?

3. Dunno how i can do that, maybe you can cut and paste it from another skin ?

4. I know the first launcher is a bit off. I did that on purpose, so this skin would fit onto another background i have :)

Hi Yogiman:
Thanks for your suggestions. I did the cut and paste and it worked.

2. Owner info should be during poweron. I will try to look into SRS slider and check the appropriate region.
3. I observed that when I click on the icon for the weather, all these sections become activated: weather, systems info, RSS and Launcher. Any ideas.

Thanks.

Lawofa,

I linked all the buttons so there are basicly two views to the skin. When you push the weather icon it also activates rss and bat info. If you push the poom button the waether weather,rss and batinfo dissapear.

You can easaly disable this function, just remove the bold lines :


if,region,1,=,0
      imagebutton,18,0,weather active.png,t,1,4,999,-1
   else
      imagebutton,18,0,weather.png,t,1,4,0,-1
      button,18,0,11,11,11,4,999,
      button,18,0,11,11,4,4,0,
      button,18,0,11,11,8,4,0,
      button,18,0,11,11,16,4,0,

   endif
   
   if,region,4,=,0
      imagebutton,31,0,rss active.png,t,4,4,999,-1
   else
      imagebutton,31,0,rss.png,t,4,4,0,-1
//      button,31,0,11,11,10,4,999,
   endif
   
   if,region,10,=,0
      imagebutton,31,13,clock active.png,t,10,4,999,-1
   else
      imagebutton,31,13,clock.png,t,10,4,0,-1
//      button,225,0,11,11,4,4,999,
   endif
   
   if,region,11,=,0
      imagebutton,5,0,calendar active.png,t,11,4,999,-1
   else
      imagebutton,5,0,calendar.png,t,11,4,0,-1
      button,5,0,11,11,1,4,999,
      button,5,0,11,11,4,4,999,
      button,5,0,11,11,8,4,999,
      button,5,0,11,11,10,4,999,
      button,5,0,11,11,19,4,0

   endif

   if,region,8,=,0
      imagebutton,18,13,battery active.png,t,8,4,999,-1
   else
      imagebutton,18,13,battery.png,t,8,4,0,-1
   endif
   

   if,region,16,=,0
      imagebutton,5,13,launch active.png,t,16,4,999,-1
   else
      imagebutton,5,13,launch.png,t,16,4,0,15,-1
   endif

Thanks for the skin it will be one that I will be using.

How do I get the launcher tab names to not show up in the same line as the application icons?

Find this section:

imagebutton,2,2,expand active.png,t,18,4,0,16,17

      image,28,0,launcher_menu.png,tr

      deactivatebuttons,17



and adjust the bold coordinates.

If someone is interrested, i've got the same skin now with 6 lines RSS so you use up the empty space at the bottom of the screen.

Hi Yogiman:

I am very much intrested. Did you remove the scrolling? I am using the original skin a lot.

Thanks.

Hi,

I attached a zip file with the new rss section, just copy it into the skin over the old rss section. The scrolling is still there, you can disable it if you want. Also included in the zip is one png file called scroll1.png. You can copy that in your image folder (colors-3d)

Here's a variation of my skin. I've made some changes that are copied from ather skins. Most of them are from Lordtwisted, RBG08, etc. They are the man !




The skin has basically two views. The view with weather, rss, etc. and the view with the agenda. I've linked the buttons so you don't need to tap different buttons to get the screen you want.

Tapping the date refreshes the data.

Tapping the weather icon on the top region shows the forecast for that day. Tapping the forecast returns it to the normal weather view.

Day and night icons alternate so do the moon and sun icons.
The button on the top region with the right arrow swithes between city's.

Update time turns red when the update is older than an hour.

RSS is six lines and can scroll. Scrolling starts automatically when you tap the online/offline button.

I'm sure there are some bugs in the skin, so if you find one let me know.
