heres a preview of what i have so far........
if you've been checking my site, you've already seen this.....

8932 8933

8934 8935

yes thats a mouse....its a mod of the ants.app....(thats why the mouse is backwards...because it moves freely)

that is only a photoshop made preview of the music player skin, thats why there is no volume bar...

and that vista maximus thing is the new battery image(looks horrible there, but complitly and utterly awsome when installed, lets just say that pic doesnt do it justice)

hope you guys like it....check my site for future updates, and more detailed pics and info(link in my sig!)because i still got some editing to do, so know that some of these screens will be improved upon, for both visual and compatibility reasons...

aslo i plan on releasing a fully(except for other.artwork/safari mod)1.1.3 version this time, with install intructions that work with 1.1.3 too!!!

please comment....sugg. appreciated!
and if you like it give me some rep by clicking the scale under my avatar to the left!

nice work.
keep going

Sweet! Keep up the good work!

kinda rough around the edges, but with a little mor work. that'll bee pretty bomb ass.

Excellent work, keep it up.:cool:

That looks great!!

Just out of curiosity, why do you want it to look like Vista?

as i said before
the BEST theme EVER!!!!

Of course u guys know these arebt the only screens,for those just seeing my theme,just look at vista maximus 2.0 to see the tons of other features!

I love the dock, such a great idea!

Lol.. a hidden surprise. I was refreshing this page and somehow this popped up. Good work by the way :D

oh and i have to thank masterwill,i was short on time and after heard of my minimized app icon idea,he pm'd me some dock icons....you were a great help,even if i did edit them,they were a start....

I'm not here to hate, but I am around the PPC community alot/apart of it I guess you could say comparatively your skin isn't all that great. Well at least not in my taste. In comparision to who you ask? Well If you go to lakeridgesoftware where they make vista skins all the time. They have some amazing graphic artists there. Don't let my completely opinionated words get you down. Just saying your skin could be better, a little constructive criticism never hurt anyone. :p Best of luck

thanks for representing our community (pocket pc skinning/lakeridgesoftware)

a good example of what Jonttu is talking about is the Windows Vista Portable Edition for Pocket PC's. Xcillion made one but as of recent, Microsoft made him remove it from the web.

This is my custom Vista skin running on my Axim x51v using WA2 and WAD (click image for for resolution)
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y166/zakafx/vistalandscape.gif

can you make it compatible with 1.1.3 that means 4-dock icons???

well....thats great...but this is for the ipod touch...not a pocket pc......so i mean technicly i dont care....

we're just saying it could be better, that is all. dont take it the wrong way.

well ya...but no ipod/iphone theme is gona be as good as a pocket pc theme

eh.... those pocketPC skins arent anything amazing, but i like the new update on Maximus looks nice, and am really liking the dock icons, maybe more functionality on the dock icons so you could easily which them around would be cool.

keep up the good work!

ya....im already workin on that

YOu just keep on coming with more Vista stuff, don't ya? It's so awesome.

The floating mouse would be KICK @$$. I also like the docked icons more.

Keep up the good work man.

;320620']we're just saying it could be better, that is all. dont take it the wrong way.

yours isnt that impressive looking either

nyce work.. looks awesome,,..!! :D

I hope this is 1.1.3 compatible. I was thinking that i would downgrade to 1.1.2 just so i could get this theme. When is this going to be released.

Awesome keep it up

yours isnt that impressive looking either

not to start a flame war, but i believe my pocket pc theme represents Vista more than this iPod theme but i respect your opinion nevertheless (no disrespect to the author; ive been wanting to see someone pull a full-out Vista theme for SummerBoard). see next comment below.

well ya...but no ipod/iphone theme is gona be as good as a pocket pc theme

yes you are very correct. although, with so many limitations to the SpringBoard, theres only so much you can do to imitate something. if only someone created an application similar to wisbar advance desktop, then im only going to guess that this theme will only represent Vista even more than it does now. again, as said above, i always wanted someone to create a full theme representing vista and you seem to be doing it, so keep it up man.

guys its ok,his theme is more than likley better.....but like i said,u cant compare themes on different platforms....so im not taking this the wrong way, and i hope u guys dont either....

Now, anything u want in the next release?

dude good work. i like everything about this theme im just not sure how i feel about a freely moving mouse. what's the point?

none, just a visual toy, its just a mod of ants so serves same purpose

Thats niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!!!..... but why did you post that in this section. Why not just make a new thread? looks good though cant wait for it to be reeased

I still think the vista start button should be smaller, looks goofy :(.

Wow, just saw your signature and I now refuse to use any theme you ever make, probably won't matter to you but oh well :).

hope that its better now

I wouldn't say Vista "Maximus", but I'd say it looks pretty nice for what you've done.

I would however be enthralled if you decide to make say, a "Neo Vista" that looks more improved and refined than Windows Vista itself.

regarding the WMP skin, any way you can make the quality better? it looks a little blurred/pixelated on some edges.

yeah I've noticed that too.. I gotta put the thing on the iPod and see how it works out, then ill be able to sharpen and clean it up.

Oh, okay don't consider my suggestion then. I HATE YOU AND THIS THEME! LOLOL Just Kidding, I'm LOOOOOOVVVING IT! Good work +rep

hope that its better now

Ha, much better, I just couldn't believe any ipod touch theme maker ever trying to charge to get special rights to their theme, just seems immoral :(.

is the dock customizable? like if you wanted a different set of apps down there how would that work? other than that (?) this is turning out to be one of the est themes out there. very complete, love the mose idea. although youd have to set it to one ant.

yes im working on getting the dock icons movable...and customizable,will even include a psd to allow custom dock icons......but for the ants thing.....usualy setting it on 4 only allows about one on the screen at a time,cause with one u barely c any!

sry wont happen again.....i guess i just got a little excited.....
