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.

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!

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?

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?

This says it supports wm 5.0. and this is a theme changer , not a wallpaper changer, the pics also show what it looks like a portrait phone, it also looks like facade. I'm sure a lot of people here would like to have an app that would change their wallpapers on a scheduled cycle. I know I would with how much I change my wallpapers. It would also have to be 6.1 compatible.

I'm still on my quest trying to find a UI to use... and not sure if this thread is already around...

You forgot about Titanium! (default WM 6.5 interface)

Background For All TF3D Tabs ?

Hey guys, I've been wondering if There's a way for me to make the wallpaper change in all of the tabs instead of just the home tab. I'm currently using Itje's Touch-IT v13.2, Windows Mobile 6.5 Rom.
I'm only looking for a cab file, because all of the ones I've tried have always messed up my clock and sometimes, the entire Touch Flo 3d. Please Help me.

Ah, I knew someone would post this. It's not really what I'm looking for.
I need a cab file that will allow me to change the wallpaper for all of the tabs just by using the "wallpaper" in the settings tab of TF3D.
Anyways, Thanks for trying.

the wallpaper which is displayed in every tab is a kind of dummy system wallpaper...so if you would like to pull this off you would either
have to replace this wallpaper everytime you choose a new one (i dont think its a good idea to do that...)
replace the pointer for the default one everytime you choose a new one...
i didnt look into that pointer by now but i guess rota could do it in no time if he feels like it!
just my 2 cents.

there is a library component called 'home background'
we have to put it on level 01 and level 2
i will do it today
cheers

Alright, Thank you, Rostrain !
I'm excited for this.

SPB mobile shell worth it?

Is it any better than TF3D? Should i just wait for windows mobile 6.5?
Thanks in advance!

Why don't you try it? It's a big cab and it has a limited (15 days?) trial.
I ran it a little on my TP and went back to touchflo, it is nice though, definitively worth trying!

Plus you can toggle from TF3D to SPB when you want...

The calender is WAY better than the Touch Flo, but other than that, it is just personal preference.

I think SPB shell is much better, due to the ability to customize. Pretty active community as well, meaning a steady supply of new widgets and customizations. Plus it's easy on the battery.
Definitely recommend the 15 day trial.

Since there are no custom roms for the CMDA version I currently use it. I prefer it over touch flow as you can customize it alot more and it uses alot less memory than TF3D does. It has a nice interface and it's fun to use if you get bored with TF3D or regular WinMo 6.1. If you are resourceful enough, you can use it for more than the trial.

tried SPB Mobile Shell,it's gorgous,of course it's better than Malina TouchFlo3D,I like it so much.
but i had to uninstall SPB Mobile Shell,the reason? it is not good at organizing calls and SMS,when there is miss call,SPB Mobile Shell only shows it for a while,then there is no indication you can see that there was a miss call.
this is terribly bad management.

IMHO it was worth it prior to TF3D as plain Windows Mobile 6 was pretty boring.
Now however its kinda like the old guy at the club.

I think touchflo looks nice and clean....BUT, mobile shell is crazy on the personnalization. ? 6 pages for personnalization + weather total of 17 pages with contacts and others .....I love it !
Take a look, it's sence la révolution v2 theme

Getting tired with Touchflo, so might start toying some more with spb again.

I tried it for day. But I like TF3D better. It's just simpler to me.

Here ya go ! It's in french but if you look around in the posts you will find someone who made a english copy, or just altered a few files to make it english.

Looking forward to that, I'm always changing and opened to new ideas !

Touch Flo has some serious usability problems.
Email and text messaging for instance.
If you want to check those it is a 3 step process most of the time.
SPB did a really good job making it basically a one touch method.
The eye candy is not as good and the calendar needs work but overall its faster to get things done with basically no lag.
The facebook integration IMO is better as well.
Worth the money.

I installed this theme and nothing is displaying correctly. Any ideas on what went wrong/ It seems like nothing is centered correctly.

I haven't had this issue at all. My notifications stay until I view them.
MS3 is always the first program I install on my phones. Love it, can't live without it. I live on the lifestyle screen, customized just how I like it.

I tried it a couple of days ago, and I guess I'm just getting old. There was a LOT of customization that you could do with it but I just didn't feel like going through all that to get it the way I wanted it. Out the box, I still couldn't get what I was looking for. I switched back to TF3D, but that's not to say that one is better than the other. It's really personal choice. I got pretty much all I need with a few tweaks and TF3D, but if I get bored, the Hero skin for SPB MS3 is looking really good.

Does anyone have any idea why when i install this theme it makes everything on my screen jibberish?

I haven't personally installed the theme, I just googled it to see what came up. Try googling it (sence la révolution v2 theme) and looking it up from another website. There are a ton of spb mobile shell theme web sites. There are bunch on here as well.
Edit...Actually, here is the info on here about it. I was bored and searched it. Check this out.
