Yeah, I absolutely loving UL now! Greatest thing since sliced bread!

What's up with the activation thing? You can put any number in that you want, it accepts it and thanks you for activating, and then a few hours later, if that, the "not activated" thing comes back! Considering there are only 4 numbers, there can't be that many combinations! Most interesting activation scheme I have ever seen!

So after reading through this entire thread I have everything up and running. I spend the $15 bucks and register my copy. I get the 'Thank you for activating UltimateLaunch' blah blah blah. No matter what I try the Not Activated text continues to appear. Any ideas? I'm thinking about emailing Handango back and telling them the serial is fubar.

Not sure about a specific way to do what you are trying but if you have UL as the first plugin you can set the height using the fixed plugin height setting in the config. I dont guess you would be able to get the tabs at the very bottom though you would end up with a more HTC home-ish buttons in the middle look.

Okay so there are a couple threads that talk about this incredible application but I figured I would start this thread in the PPC Software section as I dont know if everyone looks at the Titan forum where we have been discussing this application today.

Ulitmate Launch is a Today Screen launcher that works in a similar fashion to iLauncher or SBP Pocket Plus except it is much better. I have been using it for about a week and i am sold. It is far and away the most useful today screen app and it uses very little memory. You can also set it to not load tabs until they are activated saving even more memory.

Ultimate launch allows you unlimited tabs that can either be placed at the top or at the bottom of the launcher. The tabs can be switched with finger or stylus gestures or by touching the tab you would like directly. The animation for switching between tabs is customizable and offers a cube like spinning which will no doubt keep you playing with your phone more than you already do.

Ultimate launch is also able to nest other today screen plug-ins so you can have HTC home on one tab, Weather Panel on another.

www.ultimatelaunch.de is the website to go get this fantastic application.

You can use standard XP Icons to further customize your tabs and programs.

To find Icons-
Google of course

Deviant Art - www.deviantart.com Awesome site all the way around but many artists on here sharing thier works for free.

CrystalXP - www.crystalxp.net Similart to deviant art.

This is my current set up-
http://img29.picoodle.com/img/img29/...Lm_bb15642.gif

I have 7 tabs I have it set to spin as you can see I have it set to show all of the icons but blur the inactive icons.


Added some PPCGeeks icons http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/attachment...1&d=1204240392 for you to use if you choose.

Ok I am coming to the ppc cause if you can't help then its a wash. Not sure whether this question has been asked but I did look .. I am having trouble putting tabs in .. I can add website just fine. However when I try and add programs that are all ready listed I get an error message once I go back to the main tab that I want to add the program to. I have tried exe and lnk and still nothing](*,)

I like Mobile Shell's form factor so far. Easy to use without the stylus. Seems well organized and simple to understand and set up. Seems less customizable but also easier to set up because of it.

UL seems SUPER customizable. So much that it looks like it'll take a while to make it "mine". I also seem to have trouble with my gestures to spin the menus and not invoke an icon within.

Anything I really NEED to know before I send money to one or the other? Thanks.

Check out my icons for ul here Axialis Icon Workshop Rocks. Its one of the only programs I could find that does a good job of transparencies.

I think you hit it on the head with us that LOVE UL it is the fact that you can do so much and it is so tightly integrated. I have been using it for months now and still tweak it all the time. Its like my phone in that regard I am always adding and removing programs and tweaking and UL is an extension of that.

I used mobil shell for a while and ended up unstalling it and never purchasing it. Now this was before the latest version so I cant speak much to that as i have heard good things about it but I didnt like the "feel" of it. It was pretty much the same problems I have with WAD and WA3 they do too much to the interface. I was a big PocketPlus guy before UL though and I think the comparison is really between UL and PP as they are both launchers at thier core. I still have PP as i kept it for all of the other features besides the today plugin. UL does have a bit of a learning curve but I like that and it isnt so hard to use you get frustrated and you dont have to know xml or any programming for that matter.






I do like your icon set. I dont really use the square button type icons but you have put together quite a set. I am currently all about the GANT, MiniGant, MicroGant etc. from deviantart. They are all original drawings which I find pretty cool and the names of the icos are hilarious.

hmmm can you post a link of those icons?
