Categories SB

I love the one page theme, ever since I saw iOne_Theme posted here. That theme used stacks, prior to that I was using categories.

Stacks v3 was faster but a little tedious tricky to manage, especially with all those blank icons.

Categories was slow, somewhat easier to manage. Slowness was supposedly addressed in CategoriesSB. It dramtically reduced load times to rival stack v3.

Other apps? PogoPlank is great. It is a paid app/addon but it worth it. All of your apps are in folders which move on a wheel. Loading is quick, all one page.

just google pogoplank themes, and you'll get a good idea.


I've used all three and like pogo the best so far.


Hope it helps!

My theme will be a one page theme and right now I'm using stacks. Although as said above it is a little tediouse setting them up and a bit buggy I really like it. Really quick responce.

I haven't tried catigories sb so I can't comment on that

i was working with stacks for a while, but it is really really really buggy on my ipod. i coudnt deal with it.

Ok well I just Dow loaded the new categories and holy smokes this is 50 times better than stacks. Wow

anyone know if it's just as fast on a 2g and 3g???

my question is: is it possible to change the background without changing app files? cause i could make a great theme..

I use stacks because the pop up graph with icons looks cool lol. I used to use categories but i wanted a cool "effect" on my phone so i went with stacks. Pogoplank just looks straight up ugly to me.

heres my one page theme with stacks :]

Yes, both stack and categories SB allow you to do that. But with stack you can't modify the icon labels and columns. As for speed, they are both fast. I tested both for an one page theme purpose, since I had this idea from the release of stack alpha 2, but after I changed to categories SB I'm not coming back to stack.

I agree and categoriessbhas the sameish sweepup effect that stacks has but is much easier to add and remove programs and arrange theme. Also categories does no dim the wallpaper like stacks and u can do custom wallpaper for each category. Byfar way better than stacks

how do you add custom wallpaper for each category?

[subywrex]

Each category u make has an application folder. In each application folder is a backgroind.png. Just customize that and make sure it's enabled in categories ( open category app and press the blue arrow and selected on fir background)

Plus, with categories you just have to do what subywrex said above, with stack you'll need to edit like 15 files and try to figure out how they'll look.
