99accordv6,
This previous post was perfect to help on my 6700. Thank you!! I do have one question for you, how did you change the com mgr icon on the bottom right of the screen? did you use something other than claunch? That is all I have used to skin with so far and haven't been able to find the settings for the launch bar. TIA and Kudos!
I think tweaking it in regards to the icon spacing should work for a Treo.

PH

Whats up perfect hybrid?


Yeah I can write up a quick DIY ..

BUT

This is how I did my setup and other members might have done this differently than me ..

This is the 99accordv6 way =P

I dont have phone alarm so I just used the theme with the icons on my today screen and they look awesome .

My icons would have been bigger but I kept the date up at the top of the screen but here is some thing you can try out ..

-I first cleared all the items off of my today screen

-Click on settings for the iphone theme and under the icon tab i have these settings ...

-Icon Size = 25 [you should try 30 for bigger icons]

-Icon name enable [checked] width = 70

-Icon name at bottom [checked] height = 30

-Click on the margins tab

-Icon Margins = Horizontal = 4 , Vertical = 4

-Window Marins = Left = 1, Right = 1, Top = 0, Bottom = 0

-Maybe Skin and then Background Bitmap is where you install the phone alarm carbon fiber skin? [Help us out Mike! =)]

-Click OK

-Then click on Options at the bottom

-Then click the Main Tab

-I only have Main checked

-Then click on System tab

-cLaunch height = 200 [You can maybe try 300]

-The only settings I have checked is Setting Icon Enable and Arrow Icons Enable.

-Then click on the Tab tab

-I have Tab set to fix width checked

-Tab width = 10

-Check tab with line wrap around.

-Click on OK

Now .. To add icons to your today screen ..

-Click the ADD tab

-Under the NAME field I typed in Phone

-Under FILE PATH click the box with the three ...

-After you click go into WINDOWS/Start Menu/Phone.lnk [I could find the Phone.exe. Usually for like the camera file path you can find Camera.exe under WINDOWS]

-After that you click on Change Icon and then again the box with the ... and look for where you saved the Iphone icons at .. I saved my icons in a new folder name Iphone Icons [DUH] in the Program files folders on my phone and NOT my storage card.

-Find the PHONE icon, click and click on OK

After that you can add all the other icons you want too on your today screen .


PLEASE NOTE - This has been done on a PPC 6700 I do not know if my settings will work on a Treo or other phones .

Like Malatesta [Mike] said .. This theme is very customizable so you have to work around the settings and check your today screen every now and then.


Hope this DIY isnt too long and hard but we'll see everyones results later on =]

Here is my end result ..



Thanks for taking time to read this writeup ..
