what's up guys at CJ lips true from paki now calm and today we're looking at the newest version of fire slaves Windows Phone 7 theme for the throttle launcher user interface on windows phone 6.5 we actually took a look at this theme way back in its infancy but now the developer has reworked it with new features and better optimizations so let's check it out all right before I begin I just want to mention that I'm running this on an HTC touch pro2 so it may not function as smoothly as it would on a more powerful device like the hd2 but that being said it still works fairly well so this theme aims to emulate the look of Windows Phone 7 and as you can see it does a remarkable job as far as the appearance goes we have the familiar Start screen with the blue tiles let's go ahead and scroll down you can see that some of the tiles actually animate which is a nice touch we go down you can see that there is some bounce back action which lets us know that we came to the end of the grid if you look over here we have these three dots lets us know that there's a hidden menu here unlike on the actual Windows Phone 7 OS where we have this integrated in many areas of the operating system and this theme it's only available in a couple pages so on the Start screen we can access the Start menu this little magnifying glass takes us to a simple Bing search page the little wrench icon will take you to the throttle launcher interface settings and the plus icon will allow you to add remove or configure your tiles so will minimize that and just to let you know you can add specific contacts or programs to your start page let's go back up here and if you swipe to the side you can actually access all of your programs which is very reminiscent of the windows phone 7 OS we can also press this arrow to go back now let's take a closer look at some of these start screen tile the phone tile just launches your default windows mobile dialer the messaging and email tiles will do the same with your standard messaging applications if we go to the people tile up here it's actually sort of mini people hub you can see that the tiles animated with some of my contacts if we tap on them it'll take us to this page which lists all of my favorites I can add and remove contacts with these buttons down here not too much functionality beyond that but it's nice that we can drill down a little deeper into the theme let's go back and move on to the pictures hub and it looks like it just shows us a grid of some of our pictures on the device now you can set the directory for the images that you want to be displayed also notice that it use one of my pictures as the background which is a nice touch let's go over here and pull up this hidden menu we press this button on the very right it'll refresh all of our pictures to make sure the recent images are displayed not sure with these two buttons in the middle do and the very left button has a camera icon because it launches your camera application so that you can take pictures which is good as well let's go ahead and go back and move on here the xbox live tile now obviously it's not going to have any Xbox Live integration but it will let you store all of your shortcuts two games in one place so it's sort of like an organizing hub so to speak you can add or remove them pressing this button I didn't have too many games on my device so i just added some random shortcuts you can also change the avatar the background it's not animated or anything like that but it is a static customizable avatar so let's go back this tile over here is just to launch your owner's information below that we have a Music Hub so here we can add different items I have TCP MP and go windows media player we swipe over to the side we actually get this nice little interface for media controls so i have this connected to windows media player it's also compatible with nitrogen and I believe slide to play so we have volume up and down and we can switch tracks and press play let's get out of here and go to the calendar so a simple calendar it allows us to jump through the years by swiping up or down and we can jump through months by swiping left or right let's go out of here and down here I just have a contact shortcut that I set for demonstration purposes so let's swipe back and go to the settings and you can see it has this nice windows phone 7 style settings menu we go and start at the beginning so under general these are a bunch of windows mobile standard settings that you might want to access let's go over to the theme settings now this is where it gets sort of interesting we can actually change to a light theme just like on the actual windows phone 7 so now everything has a white background and we can change the accent color looks like we have a nice assortment of colors I'm going to go with red that seems to be pretty popular with the white background and here we have some animation settings for the people tile and then we can set our music player so let's jump back to the start screen so you can see what the change in theme looks like and there is one last feature that I forgot to mention earlier in the video you can actually tap and hold on any of these tiles to move them around and then place them wherever you'd like let's go ahead and try that again with this games tile and we'll drop it down over here like so very cool so that about does it for this video but i'll post instructions on pacquiao calm as to how you can get this theme up and running on the previous generation of Windows Phones so be sure to
