Samsung released a modification to their popular Samsung Today homescreen that replaces the AT&T Navigation link at the bottom with a much more useful Calendar listing.
Just install the CAB file on your Samsung Epix and go to Start > Settings > Today > Items tab and select Samsung Today.
The addition of the Calendar items is a great addition to this already great Today screen.
Update: This theme has been updated. The “Calls” button now takes you to the Missed Calls screen. Please re-download and re-install this theme.
This is my first stab at creating a theme for the Samsung Epix. If you’re familiar with MyBlackjack2.com you know that I enjoy making simple yet elegant themes that are easy to install.
This theme relies on the rlToday plug-in (I wish there was a way to make themes like this without using a third-party plug-in), so if you haven’t installed it, you’ll have to to install rlToday to use this theme.
This theme lists the Date and Time, a shortcut to the Alarms settings, and supports up to 5 application shortcuts (defined within the rlToday plug-in).
I’ve created a handful of “hi-res” (42 x 42px) icons that can be used for the shortcuts. You can use default shortcut icons if you want, but they tend to look very “jaggy”. These icons are located in the /Program Files/rlToday/OS X Leopard/icons directory on your Samsung Epix, and can be set within the rlToday plug-in.
Also, when using this theme, set the Theme background to the included “theme-background.png” file. After activating the OS X Leopard theme, go to:
If you’re handy with Photoshop and make other 42 x 42 px icons for shortcuts, e-mail them to me and ill re-package the theme to include them.
Samsung’s created a pretty cool theme for the Samsung Epix called “Samsung Today”. For being such a nice theme, much nicer than the default Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro homescreen atleast, I found it strange that was relatively hidden on the Epix.
To use the Samsung Today homescreen:
The one thing I don’t like about this theme is the AT&T Navigator link at the bottom. This may be removable, I haven’t had a chance to check though.
