Saint
I am a huge fan of the look of Microsoft’s new mobile OS – Windows Phone 7. The simple layout, the typography, the colour scheme, I loved it all. I decided that I wanted to make an app for Windows Mobile that looked like Windows Phone 7, just to see if I could.
Ive also recently been testing out devslide’s SlideUI Mobile Controls, a set of advanced & sexy looking controls for developers to use in their apps. My favourite control, as I said in my review of the SlideUI Controls, is the PaintBox control which lets you draw strait onto it. Putting my love for Windows Phone 7 & the Paintbox control together, resulted in Saint!
I got the name “Saint” from “WindowsPhone7 style Paint app” which seemed a bit lengthy. So I just kinda squished together “Seven” & “Paint” & resulted with Saint.
All of the notes are saved as .Png files which means you can view them easily in other apps, or on a pc. Sadly, once saved, they cannot be edited again in Saint.
It took quite a while to get the look right & it still isnt perfect, but Its the closest I can get to Windows Phone 7.
Sadly it only works horizontally on WVGA devices. It will of course run on other devices but it wont look right.
Both Saint & My other app made with the SlideUI Controls can be found on the xda-Market (click image).
If you download the xda-Market app, you will get updates whenever Saint or m8R are updated.
Plus there are plenty of other cool apps on there!

Gah. Its annoying.
When I wrote this little article, it looked different to how it saved.
The screenshots have changed order & some have gaps between them & it also added a gap at the start too.
Very irritating >:C
using the visual editor will mess-up the layout :(
Nice app.. I am lost on how you got Saint from WM Paint o_O
