Frag's Xbox Blades Smartphone Theme

[FragMaster B]

UPDATE 2/5/08: Replaced the text "blackjack" with text "home" on the first blade (not shown in screenshot below).

I haven't been on LIVE in a week, and I've barely even been to LAG! Why? Cause I got a new phone and have been geeking out with it "just a tad". Soon after getting my phone I learned of a wonderful little program called Facade, which allows you to do some nice homescreen modifications. This is my first custom homescreen...

Xbox-Blades.zip [1.1] <--Download this theme for your phone now.
Mirror1 [1.0] <--Thanks to 2opgaming.com for the mirror.
Mirror2 [1.0] <--Thanks to www.xboxaddict.com

The blades really work! Kind of, Windows Mobile doesn't really support animated homescreens, so a bit of trickery is involved. But in effect you do get 4 full pages (blades) for your homescreen.

I figured I'd post it here and share the fruits of my labors in case anybody out there also wanted to use it (or improve upon it). Inside the linked zip file is a PSD (and instructions) so that you can add you own gamerpic!

Phone Requirements:
1. Windows Mobile 5+ [320 x 240 landscape]
2. Facade

I need to thank both Propser and SinisterJunkie from the SBSH forums for helping me out. They saved me LOTS of time.

that looks so cool. i'm going to consider it, but my question is how easy is it to remove in case i don't like it. how much space does it take up?

Understatement?

It's very easy to remove. The theme takes up about 150k on your phone, not including the Facade program.

Very nice Frag! Now, if I only had a Windows Mobile smartphone to try this out on. Stupid Blackberry.

You kids and your fancy cellphones! My phone can store phone numbers on it, which with I can call peoples. Oh and it can take low-resolution crappy photos too.

I'd consider upgrading my phone and using this theme if you could incorporate the swoosh sound on the blade movement. There's got to be a way! Nice work!

Now not to change the topic but I plan on buying a Blackberry Curve tomorrow because I hear the OS is better then Windows Mobile- is there something that I'm missing?

PS. Great work Frags- I'd look to do that to whatever phone I end up getting!
