As slick as iFonz is, I don't really see why anyone would remove even more of the Today screen functionality than TF3D does. IMO the Today screen is one of the best features of WinMo.

You can customize with nicer looking icons, backgrounds, and transitional animations. It lets you put the icons anywhere you want and also gives notifications for mail, missed calls, voicemail, texts, and displays the date correctly. It also has a transitional animation between tabs and also zooms in/out when you open/close apps - setting it apart from the other iPhone clones. You can set an unlimited amount of tabs it seems like for applications and contacts, so some could argue that it is more functional than touchflo3d. The only problem is that the OP is kind of late with this UI, it's been out for a while now.
You should check out some videos of it in action, here is one (keep in mind you can set it to engage on startup): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoEO65VM3X4
Check this thread to see other people's iFonz home screens (especially post #223, i like that one a lot): http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ght=post+ifonz

Below are my screenshots:

thanks for the better screen shots, my icons are not properly formatted for the height thats why it looks so crapy on the screen shots.

True, i'm still in the honeymoon stages i guess. I have tf3d, secondtoday for access to the today screen, mobile shell mapped to soft keys, and when i feel like it i use ifonz. I know it's unnecessary to have all of them, but it's nice to switch it up from time to time.

and to the OP, if you want some nicer icons for iFonz go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424678
Unfortunately, the guy who made all those icons is leaving WM for an iPhone, so you won't be seeing any new icons from him.

Oh, i've only made a few icons myself... most of them are by bluemetalaxe over at xda (like i noted and linked in the previous post). He's leaving for an iPhone though, so no more icons from him

My bro did get his PSD file for making icons easier, so I'm able to make icons that look similar. Just want to make sure credit is given where it's due.
I just had to post my screenshots here, so people know ifonz customizing capabilities.

lol, people thought i had an iPhone anyway (even when I had a mogul!)... they see me touching a screen and they automatically think iPhone. Shows you how well apple/att advertised their top phone.
I'm happy to tell them no and then show them the many choices of interfaces that I have, including one that's similar to the iphone. That reminds me, I hope the guys at xda get android working decently on the Touch Pro soon...

I know this is off topic but where did you get that Pro Hacks program from? I did a search and nothing came up. Please help.

I'm using a Mac computer and I want to try this IFONZ out but I can't figure out how to get a .cab for it. I downloaded the .zip file but it only has a .exe no .cab. Any ideas/suggestions?
