VITO Winterface v.2.0
Requirements: WM5-6.1
Overview: Vito Technology recently announced that their popular Winterface user interface was about to receive a major upgrade.

We were fortunate to receive a pre-release copy of Winterface 2.0 and we’re going to share some screenshots with you. But let’s first tell you a little about Winterface 2. For various reasons, I was testing this on my 8525/Hermes. It’s clear that Winterface is light and efficient because my phone was flying with Winterface 2.0 running. Going from page to page within Winterface requires a swipe and it was amazingly responsive. In fact, I’m sure we’ve all tried to put our finger on the screen and see how far behind our finger the screen moves…well with Winterface 2 there’s no lag so even between screens everything moves in real time, which I can’t say about TF3D. It really makes the interface feel smooth and enjoyable. As I sit here and flick through 6 screens I’m still shocked how fast it goes. You should also know that Winterface 2 can be integrated into your current interface, so it can be a plugin on your standard Today screen or you can just make a shortcut to it to launch it. If you run it as a plugin then just tap it and it’s full screen with zero delay…not a flicker. It’s also very highly customizable and entirely finger friendly so no need to use the stylus at all.
But that’s enough talking, let’s get to some screenshots already so you can see it in action:
Here’s the two line today plugin which is large enough so there’s no missing it. Wow, I haven’t used this phone since 2007;)

One of the improvements to Winterface 2 was the addition of skins. So you can see various skins which change the icon style, layout and size. I’ve grown fond of the Google skin personally:)

As you can see, some of the icons have built in notifications, like the Tasks and Calendar icons. Tapping the calendar brings up a custom popup.

You also get to add programs, settings, files, contacts and even direct links to webpages so you can quickly launch any of these with a single press. To move icons you just tap and hold on the screen until the icons ‘shake’ and then you can delete them,rename them or drag them around to where you want them to go. Obviously, you can make a full page of speed dials, a dedicated app page or mix and match as you feel.

If you add a contact to Winterface you are treated with another custom screen. From here you can quickly dial the contact, email them or send them a text message. Again, it looks great and is very intuitive.

The customization continues with the ability to add your own background and to toggle the program names (removing them gives you room to add an extra line of shortcuts as well).
[Only registered and activated users can see links]
Another nice screen is the profile page which lets you toggle the ringer with a finger friendly interface. The screen icon changes depending on the profile you choose so you can see the set profile without pressing it.
[Only registered and activated users can see links]
Several other icons are also ‘active’ icons like bluetooth status (which toggles bluetooth on/off )and when pressed the icon changes accordingly. The battery, clock and memory icons are also active icons that provide you with real-time information.
If you’re using a phone with a slideout keyboard then the icons will rearrange themselves when you slide it out and you get a bit of animation to go along with it. it’s all very smooth and even on my old Hermes, Winterface will rearrange the icons faster than you can rotate the phone.
[Only registered and activated users can see links]
Another custom screen is the ‘running’ screen which is a task manager. From here you can toggle between programs or kill all or some active apps.

So there we have it. Extremely finger friendly, fast and customizable. Again, this was a pre-release so you can expect a more thorough review when a final version is available and we’ll be sure to tell you when the final version is available for download. This should be enough to get your mouth watering for now though:)
And if you already have Winterface then this will be a free upgrade. That’s some serious customer appreciation!
VITO Technology releases new version of Winterface. Now you may customize the look of your phone to your personal needs: change skins (10 new skins are available), background color or picture, headings for the icons and much more. Change the face of your device together with your mood!
# 10 news skins
# Changeable background
# Customizable headings
# Improved functionality
# Finger-Friendly
# Attractive interface
# Comprehensive shortcuts
I was very impressed with the version I had for testing which was extremely fast and smooth and their final release comes with even a few more features and bug fixes as well. It’s very easy to customize as well so you can set it up the way you like it. Their website has a demo version that you can download and test out. If you’re using a Fuze/Touch Pro you should try it for compatibility as on some devices it does not install properly.
Here’s the complete text of their press release with additional features noted:
* NEW SKINS. Some time ago we had a contest "Give a new face to Winterface". Thanks to this we got lots of skins made by our users for Winterface. Now we’re glad to announce the official support of the skins that we received during the contest. And all of our users now can choose the skins they liked here, download and install the cab file.
* CHANGEABLE BACKGROUND. It is possible either to change background color in Casino and Tile skins or to change the whole background picture.
* CUSTOMIZABLE HEADINGS. You may now either remove or add icon headings. Besides you can change them. Thus you may name apps on your device the way you like.
* IMPROVED FUNCTIONALITY. The dots in the bottom are clickable now so you can be immediately put to the screen you want to. When opening the running apps you may not only close applications one by one but also close all running apps at once. The battery charge is now seen like a %. If you have any VITO software ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) the icons in Winterface will stylistically coincide with the skin you choose.
* BUG FIXES. The lock screen of Winterface won’t interfere anymore while you’re speaking over the phone. If your device is switched on with a password Winterface will allow you to enter it. Calendar widget now shows the appointment for all future events as well as repeated appointments. The locked Winterface can’t be anymore closed by the "v" gesture.
