How is it possible to change the phone Skin?
Hi
I've used some the skins from http://www.paulya.com/diallerskins.htm. Just copy the cab file to the device and run.

Hallo!
I ma going to try!
thx!
dialer skin for wm2003 ?
Any one know the way to change the dialer skin like eten skin for windows mobile 2003
I've tried that, OK it works...
But when i uninstall it i don't manage to recover the original HTC skin (background is missing).
Can you help me ?
These skins are all very nice - but I'd rather just have bigger buttons for my fairly average sized fingers.
Any suggestions ?
same here
I'm tying to get nicer and bigger buttons for my fat fingers on my Orbit/Artemis, if anyone has links to how to do this that would be great!

just install the cab file I attach.
I use it in my Artemis and like it very much. If you don't like you can uninstall and will regain the original (HTC) dialer skin.

the archive doesnt work upload the cab

its the best working skin for artemis.
icons of call history works perfect.
the only problem that i have is that when i'm on a call,the white letters of the person that i call and the duration of the call going to a deep green color that with the gray backround its hard to see it.
does anyone know something?
delimari,
Yes, I have the same problem but I can live with it. Try asking webpatrick to change the letters' colours - if you are succesful I will apply it too!
Exellent way to change all skins - SPB unithemes

Very nice and thanks for sharing! I love it and it makes dialing much easier with my big fat thumb now. Where did you get it and are there other color schemes or will it change with the theme or Uniskin color?

The source is one thread from "Upgrading, modifying..." etc. forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=263579
The same developer, Webpatrick and others have more skins there. Check them out!
cheers
What is a .skn file and where are they used? I'm not talking about Windows Media Player ones, either.

So Jimmy's dialer is HTC-based and not Eten based? Does that mean it doesn't have the Data problems where data connection stays open like Eten?
As I was googling around & searching for themes for my HD, I passed by some excellent themes that were created by Djoub..
Truely amazing themes with classy designs & vibrant colors, yet in cool style
Unfortunately, they were only for the Diamond!
Anyway,
Can you here me Djoub? Any one..?!
I'd really appreciate it if I could find some of his themes...
hmmmmmmmmm
looks like there's alot of interested folks but no actual replies or openions here....
Very well..
Allow me then to post Djoub's skin site for you to check out his amazing work..
The skins are compatable with Diamond but unfortunately not the HD
http://www.djoubhaaskins.com/html/index.php
Seems like I'm only talkin to myself ...
Oh well.. whatever ..
why dont you start porting one of his over to the HD using manila editor? he does have some good looking tf3d themes

FINALLY !!
A reply from my favorite developer
Actually, I tried once experimenting on one of the diamond themes to turn it into HD's using manila editor... The new theme just didn't work !
I googled my way around to find out a way to adjust the bottom slider bar so that it fits the HD screen (basically that's why we can't use diamond themes on HD ) but found no answer what so ever...!!
Q: how can I adjust the screen dimentions in manila files so that it fits the HD screen?
Perhaps if I only knew how to do that... I might start porting some themes myself
mallman,
can you help me out here with a hint or two?

in my opinion the best way to do it is to grab his theme and export all the png icons out of it. Next you need to grab your HD manila files and start replacing them with his. With a little patience and just going one by one you will end up with his theme and it will fill your whole screen
You can copy and paste all of your manila files out of your \windows folder on your HD then point manil editor to those files.
oh and thanks for calling me your fav but i pale in comparison to what some of these devs do here.

& that's exactly what I tried to do in the first place !
last night I thought I'd give it another shot; I extracted all manila + png files from my HD, & tried to replace some manilas using the manila editor like I should.. But I couldn't
Every time I try replacing a file, an error message appears saying something like "parameters are not valid" !
I googled for a solution & I thought I need to update the .NET Framework & problem should be solved.. but it hasn't
I'll try again later... This is my project as a beginner in PPC world
Thanks mallman for your advice..
I am also interested to know if anyone has successfully converted Djoub's themes for the HD. Especially the Hell Theme.
If I look around on google, there seem to be several for symbian phones, but none for WM. I'd love to be able to automatically change backgrounds on my today screen. Does anyone know an app?

when u start theme master and then after that start shantz today changer ..THEN

Hi HMDerek,
Perhaps you could try this app from Diamond thread "Diamond Background Changer" --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427463
I've installed it and it works flawlessly on my Xperia. Give it a try if you feel so!
If you decide to try it here are 2 tips:
1 - use only *.jpg files
2 - all the letters in the file names must be in lowercase, and I mean all, even the the extension ("jpg")
Regards,
Psy'RaKKa
hey psy rakka,

however this changes the tf3d background.-what hm drek was looking for was a app that changes the today screen wallpaper of windows mobile.

WVGA Default WM 6.5 dialer skin
Hey guys,
after you helped me with a lot of things on my Touch HD and giving me the possibility to use the potential of this nice device even better, i wanted to give something back.
I edited some image files of the standard Windows Mobile 6.5 dialer (just WVGA) and thought I could share them with you.
I did just some basic image editing to fit better with my current phone style.
Hope you like it!
Installation:
Just install the attached cab to your WVGA device and Soft-Reset
Excellent, thanks! Gr8 skin
Just had to change following: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled = 0'
for some reason, call list is blank- any ideas?

PocketShield has a fix for this issue. You must change \Skin\Enabled=1 and then change it back via PocketShield settings.

+1 for me! Solution please, pro ! Installing PocketShield is not the end-solution!
It's a known issue of WM6.5 default dialer when having HTC Dialer installed. If the ROM is without HTC Dialer included, it works fine!

Hi, would you be willing to tell me what files I would need to work with in order to create my own dialer? If you would be so kind.
Great work on the WM Dialer, I have been looking for something just like this!
Thanks in advance.
Great Skin. Just what I needed. Thanks!

not working on mda mail/ wm6.1 kavana remade by r&s 24
Update: It's actually working but the icons are not good at all (technically)
Update2: Important... The icons in the dll look fine... I don't know why there is a problem displaying them...
(i had this same problem on another platform... there was something wrong with the editor used...
Sorry man... thanx for the effort... maybe you could sort this out... or someone else 4 that mater...
Perhaps there is some kind of conflict with the icons used 45x45 32bit... maybe we need smaller or bigger or with other bit rate?
Dude.. not to be a ****.. but the icons look like crap. Trim those edges around them at least...

the icons are from PPC rom,i dump the rom,originaly they are png format,then i convert them to .ico,because some pixes are translucent,so when they are converted to .ico format,you will find the edge is not so good.
but if you use iphone style square icons on wm,you will find it`s very good
that`s the reason
why are they good in computer?because the some of the icons`s edge are transparent or translucent，xp/vista support 32 translucent,but wm(base on WINCE) dont support
sorry for my poor english

Thanx man i understand now!
10Q very much.
That is why all the icons suck...
Ok i remade the dlls...
I put background on all of the icons used in the dlls if somebody like to use it...
Question: Is it possible to set the same background behind all icons...
Using some kind of mod... That would be nice...
Also lovebabyjing could you explain how to create these dlls with icons...
And how to create the reg files... So we could get into some icon customizing...
Also is there any way to put custom backgrounds in start menu...
That would be AWESOME!

Ok here what i did...
1. Copy the Windows Dir in the first attachment on your Phone
(Don't copy the Start Menu folder if you want your current menu)
2. Start regedit and Import the "Install" into your registry...
3. Restart...
Note... If you like my take on the icons just replace the dll's in the
original post with the ones in my attachment.
Hope this helps man...
