My Prefered Skin

Very good work Kleinweder!! Checked out ur site - nice! :)

(i just added that 1 mru icon and it totally rocks)

@minky: To use the screens install Longhorn Extra (not the skin, but the extra screens) then replace the files in Program FilesLonghorn Extra folder.. This is the easy solution. The hard one is to do it all in registry. See tweaks

p_boy, why not just convert it yourself if it's not already done? Homescreens are not rocketscience!

kl1wdr - i love your skins, IMHO best around.

you've got a great sense of style mate...

Man I love that minimal skin. I modified it a bit.

- Added All Day Events

- Moved Time and Date to the same line

- Added Missed Calls.

- Customized background to be english and added the neostream.com mascot (which by the way is the coolest looking website on this earth!)

Thanks kl1wdr!!!

Posted this a while ago.

This is screenshot of older version, much improved now, but basically:

- made smaller MRU, so that i can have:

- MRU text in top left to show app name

- bigger clock

- new icons

- alarm plugin

- carrier [mocked up in this draft, i'm at work so can't take new screenshot], under clock, in light gray, for twin sims.

- [this draft also has lcd plugin for Analogue clock between her legs :) - removed now because of apparent battery drain and pointless, but fun!]

- all day events added on bottom line under Alarm. this overwrites the carrier text when displayed [is is invisible until needed], which scrolls completely off the bottom for neatness.

I think the original skins are lovely work, and kl1wdr has great style!

i must admit, i prefer the original or encece's more than mine, but i use my phone as a clock, so like a nice big digital clock - don't get why people want a 2mm clock to squint at (although look at my LCD-analogue clock!)

I also changed relevant info to red or blue to make it easier for your eyes to find missed calls, sms and schedule text.

Alarm plugin is essential, and invaluable when used with Xbar and my control panel xml hack (search for alarm.cpl.xml) which gives near 1 click access to alarm settings - richie's plugin is still buggy IMHO if you don't close the date/time panel properly.

I shifted everything around very slightly to allow for bigger fonts, again, updated screenshot shows it better.

However, i tend to use the skin only when i'm feeling show off or horny - day to day i've knocked up a VERY bare/clean skin, will try post s.shot.

I don't get the sense of multi screen homescreens - i like to glance at my phone and know the day,date, important info, current position of the bolivian armed manoeuvre's etc. Multi page screens look flash, but are surely counter productive in terms of getting at your info.

Roll on Xetra's temp plugin!

Also, all day appointment is useful, will try to post an updated screenshot later.

evilminky and anyone else who might be interested:

My skin is smooth and silky, come and feel!

Hope someone likes it, feedback extremely welcome...

Um, from memory:

-both have MRU with filenames

-missed calls, sms, voice messages,

-alarm plugin; you must install this first in the home directory

-next appointment

-all day events (not visible here, but neatly scroll off the bottom)

-VJ woman has a carrier label in there as well

-VJ woman uses colouring which catches the eye easily - green highlights, blue text for appointments and red for missed calls etc. very ergonomic i think.
