Guest AdrianFRST Posted December 7, 2003 Report Posted December 7, 2003 Very original... :roll: Looks a lot like this one of mine I posted a shot of a few days ago: http://smartphone.modaco.com/viewtopic.php...p=331829#331829 Co-incidently you viewed the topic last night at 7:31pm... Funny that, eh... :roll:
Guest AdrianFRST Posted December 7, 2003 Report Posted December 7, 2003 Ha! Even your backdrop jpg has my icons on it, and the pixelation from my screen cap being an 80 quality jpg... If you'd drawn it yourself, as I have, there would be a smooth gradient. I know there's no copyright on this kinda thing, but I think it's more than a little dishonest to rip off someone else's work and claim it as your own.
Guest moo_ski_doo Posted December 7, 2003 Report Posted December 7, 2003 I know there's no copyright on this kinda thing, but I think it's more than a little dishonest to rip off someone else's work and claim it as your own. Err... so where did you get the idea for this homescreen from then? Think of it yourself did you? I bet you drew the icons yourself too...
Guest AdrianFRST Posted December 7, 2003 Report Posted December 7, 2003 No, of course not. What I mean is that I worked out the XML, how it would look on the smartphone compared to the PPC, omitting the owner info and replacing it with the carrier and profile, and working out where to put the MRU. I post a preview in another thread, a number of people say how they like it, then suddenly this one appears, and uses my screenshot as a base. I'd be stupid to try and claim it's 100% mine, but I'm a little pissed that someone's made minor alterations and posted it before mine. That doesn't sound too immodest does it? :lol:
Guest moo_ski_doo Posted December 7, 2003 Report Posted December 7, 2003 Fair do's, I know exacly what you mean, your comment does come across as a little hypocritical, just being pedantic really tho :lol: If carvas has literally ripped yours off and taken credit, it is perhaps a little harsh. In all fariness tho, by its very definition, one PPC homescreen is gunna look very similar to another - there's not a lot you can do about that!
Guest carvas Posted December 8, 2003 Report Posted December 8, 2003 hello! first of all i want to appologise to AdrianFRST that i stole his screenshot :roll: but i only did it cuz i made the skin (based on his idea) for myself and i thought that there was no problem in sharing it with everyone else. it's not a question of wanting to get the "prizes" for me, it's just a question of sharing... i hope you understand that! if this makes you a little happier... I THANK AdrianFRST FOR THE IDEA, AND FOR HIS HELP WITH THE SCREENSHOT :wink: you made this skin possible :!: thx!
Guest mwille Posted December 8, 2003 Report Posted December 8, 2003 Very popular this item :D I'm afraid I was there before the both of ya.. Mine was first posted (a screenshot that is) on october 4th in THIS thread. One difference is that the icons on the left in front every plugin are not part of the background image in mine, thus when for example the Allday appears / disappears the icons are still all in place :lol:
Guest carvas Posted December 13, 2003 Report Posted December 13, 2003 nice one mwille :D i just think you could change the colors of your scheme... :lol: regards!
Guest randy Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 well... how about this? DX_PPC Pocket PC 2003 inspired skin By Randy Nivales i posted this last august 5, 2003. click below... http://smartphone.modaco.com/viewtopic.php?t=88917 this and more pinoy-made homescreens here... http://smartphone.modaco.com/viewtopic.php?t=88247 cheers :lol:
Guest J273 Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 Wow i really like that,but is their any chance of you doing a version with just the 1st screen with date time and carrier and possible add appointments on the first screen as i think that would be great,thanks
Guest mwille Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 well... how about this? Yeeess, seen those and they're very nice :lol: Object of mine however was to show everything on the homescreen without having to touch a button (like my ppc)..

Guest guybrush Posted March 23, 2006 Report Posted March 23, 2006 Do you know of a version that works with WM5 running on SP5? This file is not working properly on my SP5. Currently, the Alarm plugin takes me to the "Remove Programs" menu, and not the Alarm menu! How can I fix that? Thanks, Guy
