SymbianWare are releasing couple of cool new apps:

SmartVCard:
Connect your series 60 device to the worldwide standard of contact data exchange! SymbianWare's SmartvCard application provides easy and foolproof import/export of your contacts to vCard files (platform-independent format for exchanging contacts information).

My favorite from SymbianWare so far,(After Stacker :D)
SmartLauncher:
If you want a special 'look and feel' for your smartphone then SmartLauncher has everything you need. SmartLauncher completely substitutes the system menu and taskmanager, allows to set the background image, apps and folder icons, colours and many other features.
My first impressions:Its awesome!!! I'm really short on time so i'll you upload some screenshots.
Oh,and i allmost forgot,you can do all of the tweaking,changing,art from your Series 60 device with the Skin Editor which is freeware.

Wow, that looks really good, Does it weigh in as a big app?

No,its not big at all,the Launcher app is about 50K and the editor is about 28K.
Note that the screenshots i posted are just a tip of the iceberg of Smart Launcher capabilities.
I will post some more later with whole new set of icons,background images etc etc :D

I've just installed it. Looks pretty neat.

Shame it doesn't skin the actual applications, it looks kinda strange going from new style menu to old style when you launch an application.

Yes,i agree but maybe it can be fixed.
I'm making some icons from the icons pack i ripped from nokia.warlocks.be.
Dont tell Dazler :)

I'll post some screenshots later.

Hahaha, I'm doing the same for my Icon Changer ;)

Where can i download the Apps? :roll:

SmartvCard is available at http://www.symbianware.com

SmartLauncher is in close betatesting stage now and will be available to public in a few days.

Damn you betatesters :D :P :D

Probably unlikely to use the vCard app, but the customisation one looks very cool indeed. Just when i thought j2k's icon changing app was the pinnacle of 7650 customisation! :) :)

Indeed! :)

I've even received several e-mails, asking now this application has been released, whether or not I will continue the Icon Changer application, as this seems to do it all! ;)

Cheers

Screenshots of the XP skin i'm making(I know the masks suck :D),not finished yet allthough the crash and 100% processor usage features have been implemented,XP not Launcher :D

I dont see why you shouldn't release and continue the work on your app.
Launcher is payware,Icon changer is freeware.

All the best.

Thanks :)

Yeah, work on Icon Changer will continue :) Icon Changer and SmartLauncher are totally separate apps in my opinion:

SmartLauncher:

Changes the total menu layout, icons are only changed/renamed in the Launcher

Icon Changer:

Changes only icons, keeping the familiar Series 60 menu structure. Icons are renamed/changed to show in both Menu and SmartLauncher.

Also, I've noticed when in Launcher, it hides the signal strength bars... :( Is that a bug, or "feature"?

Cheers

Definately don't stop now j2k!

Looking forward more to the icon changer than the launcher, i think.
Although it looks good, in my opinion Symbianware may have gone a bit 'over the top'.
I quite like the way my 7650 is at the moment anyway! A few icon's would be a welcome enhancement whereas the launcher looks as if it's for those who want radical changes.

Lee

GhostDog,

Is it just my phone, or, when you load an app on the Launcher with a customised icon, the top left icon reverts to the old one?

Hi guys,

I'd prefer if you could send your comments to me at support@symbianware.com. The application is in betatesting stage so your comments would be much appreciated via email (it's easier to forward them to the developers directly :D )

Great job again from Symbianware. It reminds me of t68i themes...but much better and more advanced suiting more for the symbian world...

i dont know if you guys know this already, but at the risk of stating the obvious smartlauncher and skin editor are now available for download from www.symbianware.com (pre release versions only).

cheers!

Well,its not in the news,but it should be :D

Where can I get SKIN EDITOR? I haven't find anything at SIMBIARWARE.COM. PM me please, thanks.

Thanks GD for the subtle hint :D ;)

Try symbianware :D (sorry, had to do it)
Its here:

I like the launcher program, a lot. But for those of us (me) that are not artistic, will there be a supply of 'skins' that I can download to just add to the program? Icon pics too? Just so I can store them and select what I want?

There are some basic ones at symbianware's website,i'm making one,complete with icons and i will upload it when its finished.
I dont think that skins will be a problem :D

This is what i have done so far.

Very nice Ghostdog! :)

So there are, thanks. I'll keep an eye out for the more artistic of you guys to produce some cunning designs, as you did with ordinary background images. Nice work. :)

This is my current screen

Is it possible to change the Title Name "Launcher" to other name?

How?

Thanks,

I dont think so,at least not yet.

BTW,great masking anuvat,care to post some short tutorial or something because my masks suck :D

I noticed that! Still like your XP skin though! :D

Those icons look strangely familiar like the ones from Windows 3.1 (progman.exe), anuvat :D

You're right. I'm just use the one in my stock and create mask for it.

I know that you're the pioneer creator of Icon Changer s/w. I got you beta 1 too. But I didn't have anything to play with it. And I'm too late to be your beta tester.

BTW,great masking anuvat,care to post some short tutorial or something because my masks suck :D
I use ACD Foto Canvas program, you can use any graphic program, I think. Then I enlarge the Icon picture and fill the Icon object with black color, the background with white color. Then, just save it. To fill the Icon object with black color, the easiest way is to enlarge it since the Icon size is too small. Here is some sameple

here is the Icon

Thanks a lot anuvat,now,to finish this dreader XP skin :D

Played with it for half hour - I WANT IT! :)
Great app!
But am I being very stooooopid, or is there now way to purchase this at present?
Can't find a 'buy' anywhere?
