Default Help needed with Black Vista Homescreen custmoization

Hello, I just recently got a Motorola Q and have spent the past couple of days trying to customize it to my liking so I've been surfing quite a bit here and there.

Basically, I want the look of the Black Vista homescreen.

Like this:


and with the missed call screen like this:



I only have facade installed and when I installed this theme, the only stuff that shows up are the softkeys, and the iphone style buttons. The top of the screen isn't there, and nor is anything else. I personally am not interested at all in having the weather part show at all.

All I am looking for (I'm not asking someone to do for me, just to point me in the right direction) is a way to make the top part show up (with the time, profile, battery, etc) and the scheduled appointments to show as well.

I am also looking to as to how to edit the buttons and put my own buttons there.

Please if someone can just point me in the right direction, I will try and figure out the rest myself. I am just tired of trying to find a theme that is right for me... There obviously isn't, and I'm positive this is the closest one I've found so far and I want to make this one work and customize it the way I want.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Sounds like you need Orange for the top part. There are many threads on how to install it...but start here:

http://www.everythingq.com/forum/q-h...gin-13000.html

That will keep you plenty busy.That will fix the whole top part. Bottom part you should be able to size up in the Facade settings. Like the order of plugins..top to bottom (orange, iconbar,....facade schedule at the bottom)

I'd get in more but tired....you'll find a night owl!!!

Yeah, you need orange for the top part to work. I modified this same screen a while ago. I can throw the bluetooth plugin next to the facade schedule if you would like, and i can make some custom buttons, if you wanted to rearrange or change any of the ones that are used now.

It's easy enough to change the profile without using the plugin but I like being able to look at the home screen and see what profile I am using.

NOTE: With profile highlighted scroll right to select the date (it becomes bold) - now press the action button and it will launch the Q's Wireless Manager

The missed calls screen now has a black Q, if you don't want to use the Black Q missed calls screen backup the missed calls screen from the first version, install this version and overwrite the missed calls screen with the old one.


These changes were made due to the many PM requests I have received on this one.

Required Plugins:
Orange DLL
Facade
Fizz Weather


Make sure that in Settings you set
Color Scheme = "Default"
Background Image = "Default"
,
Otherwise you will more than likely have a white block at the top of your screen.

1st row= Calendar, SMS, email, Internet Explorer, and Fizz Weather
2nd row= Task Manager, Pictures, Media Player, Call history, Facade settings

Black Vista...


Download Here

Alright guys, I installed the Orange app and everything is working properly. Thanks so much for your help guys... However, I have one last little favor. How do I change and customize all the little icons and make them run my own chosen applications?

Thanks so much guys, I appreciate all the help!!

Wow that would be awesome. What is the bluetooth plugin you're talking about? Would be nice to fill the space next to the facade schedule. Also, what do you need from me to customize the buttons?

Very Nice. The fizz weather short cut needs edited from fizz weather 2.lnk to fizz weather.lnk . I didn't know if you knew it was set up for the older version of fizz weather. I wish the bottom bar would stay black with SmartToolkit, but you can't have everthing. BOO
