GDesk (Symbian)

GDesk was a first step on my customization way. In 2006 I've got my first smartphone - Sony Ericsson m600i. It was one of the coolest qwerty keyboard devices i've ever had. When i descovered GDesk, i began to create my first interface, and this was a beginning of something more.


Windows 98


Requires: Gdesk 0.35b1 or higher, full screen mode


About: my goal was to make it as close to original Windows 98 as possible. So i installed win 98 on virtual machine and made some screenshots. All graphics in this design is original exept battery and signal. Recycle bin will be filled when you'll receive a new message, popup will appear on missed calls. All icons will be propely hilighted whe you cycle through them.

Design still not fully finished, and i don't know when i'll finish it, have some ideas to implement. Anyway it's fully functional and i use it on my main phone all the time.

Also souse images avaible for those who want to make some translation. Put the folder in your external card and select update in Gdesk to refresh images.
