WM6.1 Sliding Panels Homescreen Thread

[rainmakerrc]

Thought it would be nice to have a thread for members to post tips and tricks as we start customizing the Sliding Panels homescreen. There's already a thread about the CHome Configurator, which you can use to customize the Sliding Panels homescreen:

A couple of weather plugins were posted as well:

CHome Weather - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396068

Mini Weather - http://www.everythingq.com/forum/moto-q-9c/mini-weather-1-4-a-22607.html


I also found a landscape version of Rinku's Colored Iconbar (borrowed from the T-Mobile Shadow), which looks quite nice with the Sliding Panels Homescreen:

Color Schemes!

FreddyReyes has a LOT of info on WM6 and WM6.1 customization.

Freddy Reyes WM6.1 Themes (The black one is NICE!)

Rinku's IconBar Plugin! - Makes the icons look MUCH better!

Has anyone figured out how to install this landscaped Rinku iconbar? The download comes with two cab files (Rinku Iconbar and Rinku Iconbar1) which one should be used?

True you did but it needed to be in the HS threads as well..As far as Rinku iconbar goes I downlaoded both of them and once you download one it erases the other so Im not sure really which one to use but I cant seem to get it to work anyways so im not to worried about it. The only thing that shows up on mine is the battery meter.
