Wel, I discovered that yesterday and posted a similar thread over their. I think most of it might be possible. Only the startmenu etc (topbar) is something I don't know yet if that's possible.
Could I fix that with Wishbar and then overwrite the rest of the Wishbarstuff by placing another kind of layer over it with that Rotlaus software?

Adding a question, as I don't have my HTC Touch yet, but would like to begin on a theme like that, is there any chance of testing how it would look (e.g. as a webpage). And what are the dimensions of the Elfs screen?

Microsoft makes several WM emulators and packages them with Visual Studio. Don't know if anything is available for a Mac though. You may want to search on microsoft.com

phoneAlarm is highly skinnable and can do the clock and icons on the bottom. The one thing it can't do is have them separated like your mock-up - they'd have to be together (ASFAIK). Check out phoneAlarm here.

BTW, I recognize those buttons from BittBox...

Aha, didn't know about phoneAlarm. Too bad they can't seperate the clock from the buttons.... I would like to keep them apart and put my appointments/tasks in between.

Yes, I got that button from somewhere and placed my own icons in it and made the blue missed/calls-emails thing. Just as a mock up, I would like more dark glass square buttons... but haven't got the time yet to make such a button.

Updated my Photoshop design. Still having doubts between my appointments of today/tomorow and tasks on home screen, or 6 most used buttons...
and doubts about assigning Notes and Lock to the 2 buttons, or just place the names for the 3 main icons underneath.
