This atleast is a bypass to make your speed dial look and space like your applications without having to have another plugin active. Hope this helps everyone.

I never even thought about that working. It makes sense as that is how you do all kinds of things with UL. It will be a pain to make an ICO for each person you want to have a pic button for but you could do some neat stuff.

Its my new next favorite plugin behind UL. Its BatteryStatus you can get it here http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_BatterySt..._WM5_iM_cs.htm

My theme is from this thread over at XDA. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350510 There are a bunch posted the one i am using is bs_deimosclockrammodSegoeUI. I also have the HTC Home replacement that Stoths made that is posted here on ppc.

It is sweet and is completely customizable though XML.

I've been trying to track down a copy of MakePhoneCall, but no luck yet. Is it included in the stock Touch ROM, or a part of a custom ROM you are running?

Would one of you mind posting the exe and any related dll? Thanks.

For those that do not have BatteryStatus installed and want the HTC like screen, I have put together a cab (BatteryStatusExt.1.05.build_0277_HTC.zip) that will install Batterystatus, the HTC skin and also set it as a type 5 in the registry. A type 5 today screen plugin will not display scroll bars which is the same way the HTC Home Plugin was setup if I remember correctly.

Below is my current UL setup which includes a tab with the HTC Clone Batterystatus plugin.



NOTE: The attachment won't setup the weather, ultimate launcher or add the 3 tabs I have shown. It just gives you the HTC looking clock, date, owner name and the 5 icons below the clock for notifications.


--------

EDIT: For those that already have Batterystatus installed, you can try the attached zipped cabfile BatteryStatus HTC Home Skin.zip file. The cab should install the skin and set Batterystatus as a type 5 plugin. I haven't tested this install out but it should work.

finding cool icons is very time consuming, so if anyone would like 2 share I would appreciate

[eehrhard]

Have you tried www.deviantart.com and www.stylexp.net ? they are both pretty easy to navigate and find icons once you get the hang of it. If you are looking for anything specific and I have it will be happy to share let me know.

i've had start on startup checked since i installed the app. haven't had it lock up yet. i'm using a 6700 with wm6. wonder what the difference is.

ya im on no2chems wm6.1 it launched activesync instantly....locking phone...even after a soft reset it freezes on startup..completely unresponsive...unchecking that fixes it...Like i said i had it happen 3 times on 3 hard resets after checking that box...was only program installed last 2 times.....thats how i fixed it...it still launches as well....just youhave to tap to open then on initial start...
