Phone skins?

Got bored with the original 'phone' skin on my XDA2s.
Is there a way to change it?
Where to download?
Thanks in advance.

How can you not like that lovely black or silver finish and the stylish keyboard in red or blue..... Ohhh, you mean PocketPC 2005
Search for PocketPC Themes, there's LOADS. Get them from all over the place. Or download the Microsoft Theme Maker from Micorsoft.com/pocketpc and roll your own

I can recommend Bong's Workshop Dialpad Maker Deluxe, there's a couple of dialpads on my theme site that I knocked up with this app, it's very simple to use, but I haven't gotten round to doing many yet.

I agree that Bong Workshop's Dialpad software is great for phone skins - if you have a good graphics editor, you can realy customise the look and feel of the phone - It pretty good value to at about $10 to download (£5 plus a bit)

WMP Skinning

Does anyone know how to skin the Windows Media Player? I have tried a few time but none of the skins work.

I've done it only once, a while ago and don't quite remember sorry but why do you wanna do it? the new wmp skin is pretty nice

well i have installed the new pointui 1.51 and they have a skin that fits the theme

Yup, Just try these 2 files. One of them looks like the WMP11 and the other is pretty sick. Check them out.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse

That actually does look pretty sick.
How do you install these? I kinda forgot lol

Just unzip them to your directory where media player skins are. It's in Program Files\Windows Media Player.
Try placing the entire folder in that directory. If that doesnt work, all you have to do is just place all of the files in each of the folders into that directory. Don't worry about the duplicate .thumbs files. It doesn't matter what you have. Enjoycool

Thanks bud !
let me go try it right now.

thanks for the help those skins worked great!

can visualizers work on wmp on dash? would be awesome

i made this one...im a harry potter fanatic....
just drop folder in program files\windows media player....then select from options menu in wmp
others are ones i found that model htc layout....and a cool iphone inspired one

Thanks for posting the HTC Skin. Perfect for me...Excalibur screen too small for album art (and album art never seems to display consistently anyway). Goes great with the Gregory WM6 theme.

Great & stylish new rom ?

Hi,
Greatball doesn't have an Artemis, but maybe Tom Condon or other Artemis rom-creators have seen the latest stylish today screens also.
Why not create a rom with Greatball's today screen, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402021
This is the most stylish skin (with SPBMobile 2.1) i have ever seen (last picture with analog clock).
Together with Greatball's Samurai Diamond Weather + Night
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402124
Would be the most fresh looking rom ever
In combination with latest msn, SPB-backup,PPCBackupcontacts,SDHC Cab installed,QuickGPS for 7days,... and good ram offcourse.
We just need to install our IGO8, and we have the best Artemis ever
For the moment we have to tweak & install all the little programs ourselves
Who create a "Greatball Diamond Samurai Styled Rom" & freshup our Artemis for a long time ?
Thanks,
Cheers!

These skins from Greatball are skins for SPB Mobile Shell.
And this is not freeware!! So you can't just cook this in your rom...
If you want to use his skin, you need to install SPB MS 2.1 and install his skin.

Yes I know, but we all want a great looking rom, when hard resetting, not much extra install work nescessary So good looking right out of the box.
The latest 'reasonable' good looking was the Oops Black.
But now we got used to the tabs completely down the screen instead in the middle of htc home... And we saw the stylish analogue clock...
Hopefully soon a new stylish rom will appear...
The Touch 4.02 was my best rom ever.
Cheers,

New "Activated" Winterface version

Hello all!
For quite some time, I've been playing around with different interfases, looking for the one that would best fit my needs.
A few may have skipped my net, but I've been through WAD, Pointui, Ifonz, Winterface, etc etc, and believe me, etc etc etc
None of them seem to be the "all inclusive" I needed until after many weeks, decided to stick to Winterface, primarily, thanks to the work of davehutch and oscarbum with their Stickerface and Tenius themes which made Winterface a bit more palatable.
Yesterday I came across an article at mobility site which spoke about a Winterface version for the i-mate (http://mobilitysite.com/2008/12/vito-powers-i-mate-go/).
In a nutshell, it's a new Winterface version made for the i-mate, but here's the thing:
1) It's a 100% free version (aka, activated)
2) From what I've seen, it works on any wm5 and wm6 device
Why bother? Ok... Here's why: I understand that the "black" themes are having their moment, but the truth is they are unreadable in daylight conditions. And as crazy as it may sound, I use my phone outdoors.
So this version has BIG chunky icons on a white background which makes it very easy to read and see with all the Winterface benefits.
I'm sure the likes of oscarbum and davehutch can come up with some new icons, but this is the refreshing change I've been after some time.
Enjoy and let me know how you went with it.
** Added the cab for your reference **

fantastic, I never liked the small buttons of winterface when using my mda compact iv, it was too difficult to get them to work since the screen is quite small for a vga device.
works great, I can't thank you enough

Hey, no problems. I'm glad to start contributing for a change!

hey man thanks for putting up the .cab file (been looking all over for this) but do you know if it'll do fine on a QVGA or VGA

Works fine on QVGA, even works on WM2003.
Only caveat with this version is it's not full screen and it is so easy to close Winterface by accident. I raised this with Vito and was advised to upgrade to the newer version.
That said I have tried to live with it but have ended up going back to a modded SPB MobileShell as it shows more on my home page.

How can you make this 'today-app' be the one always shown if you start instead of TouchFlo?
I have the Touch HD/Blackstone
/edit
nvm.
Someone told me that it's not a today-app xD
So it won't be a home screen for me.

Default Today Screen??
Is there a way to make this interface the default today screen, I keep accidentally closing the program

Gimp/Photoshop/Conduits Pocket Artist WM6/ app?

Is there any app out for android that will allow one to open/create .psd files on the phone and view layers? The only thing that I missed about my 6700 6800 6900 touch pro and touch pro2 is the ability of editing .psd's in the go with conduits pocket artist. I loved my hero and now evo but wish there was a to even open .psd on the go. (I'm work for a graphic design company, hence the necessity of being able to at least view .psd that are sent via email on the go)

Hello,
I've been asking myself the same question and googling now for an answer, I've come across your post.
Shame on this amazing forum that nobody has answered you yet...
What I know from my own experience, is that there is Photoshop Express for Android but it's really potatic... You can just modify brightness and some basic stuff of your images, but you can't draw, can't apply any brushes and no top-notch features...
I'm considering the Android platform, but currently on Diamond with WM 6.1 I'm really satisfied with the serious applications out there...
There is Blender for Windows Mobile !!
Pocket Artist is a really amazing piece of software, with which you can even use Photoshop brushes!!
And there is a lot of mathematical and scientific software for WM, not sure whether all this is available for Android too...
I hate windows as an OS both on a PC and on a phone, but the software available for that platform... Really amazing variaty and quality !!
