believe me that i help in any of my little knowledge of xml editing. All i did in my skin was with a lot of patience and determination. A lot of times i was able to do sometning tring several times untill got it

First of all we need to understand the xml concept and after that we can do something

About retro clock i think i got the picture doing a skin after

This is my first clock,

Got this loaded up last night and love it so far. Thanks so much for a great skin. A few things I haven't jumped in on yet.

1. How would I go about adding a numeric value for the number of voicemails, SMS, emails that are unread next to the respective icons at the top? Would I add a new registry value that references these numbers and move them near the icons or is it done some other way?

2. Is the application page configured in WAD2 or Homescreen ++ UI? I think you mentioned it's HS++UI and in XML, if so could you send me your xml file for this so I can try and modify it from there? I am not an XML coder, but I can usually hack up an existing file and change it to my needs.

3. I modified the Wifi icon/function at the top to Network. Does this toggle the phone radios like Flight Mode?

4. How can I move the AM/PM icons without changing the position of the clock digits? I want it moved over to the right more as it overlaps the edge of the clock digit boxes.

Thanks for all your help!

I'm glad you like it

1. Incert a custom texts with this values:
%missedcalls%
%VoiceMail%
%UnreadMail%
%UnreadMMS%
%UnreadSMS%

Then move the values to anyplace you wont.

2. The Applications page is part of wad2 (the topbar that says "applications" and the background). Everything else is part of HS++ that have him self a lot os pages that you can slide in the bottombar. My xml is in the zip file at the post 1 among with the png files.

3. No, you can do that in HS++ but not in wad2 (this is one of the several reasons that make me build a combined theme because the two softwares have features that i love. In the connections page of HS++ you can toggle radio, blutooth and wifi.

4. Well, this is a good question that i don't have answer right now because i use a 24hours set. The digital clock is in the format of htc home clock. I sugest that you ckeck out the oficial forum of wad2 and place there this question, most probably Chris him self answer you.

This skin for retro clock was made complitely from the begining and customized to match the zimaia5 theme.

For dose who wont an analogic clock instead of a digital one this is the best solution i know.

Just install the retro clock and add the clock as a plugin inside desktop page of wad2.

In attach you have the retro clock and the skin that you must copy over the retro installation folder

Hope you like it because it toke about 1 hour to build

Very good theme. Got most of it figured out in about 2 hours. Could not get the slide on the Application to return to the desktop to work so I had to insert one of your invisible buttons to switch the page Thank you...

Make sure you are not still in Author Mode or the gestures don't work. I noticed that too and figured out it works only when not editing.

I'm glad dahlem,

if you reduce a little bit the size of the tv icon and the font maybe it looks better
