Phone skins for WM6?

Hi,
I've seen a couple of posts on here for Phone skins but wondered if there are any more sites that people know of? Appreciate that it may be a little early seeign as we've just gotten hold of Kyphur & team's excellent ROM.
Thanks in advance

I am assuming that we can just use the same Phone skin cab files as we did for WM5. Is that an accurate assumption?

For LVSW Edition , yes, can just use the same Phone skin cab files as we did for WM5.
For WMXL v0.20, some can use while some cannot

I use a black dialer skin with BIG buttons styled after vista

PaulyA skin does not support video call and smart dialing, so i don't think it is fully support LVSW Edition.
If u need big keys, it is possible to make this version be usable on LVSW Edition.

I like this skin too but I don`t like the big number buttons that covers up the names in smart dialing...is there any reg key that disable the dialpad skin?

I don't have time, just download and install it...if you don't like it, just uninstall it.

I have the March 13th version of the LVSW WM6 ROM. I have never loaded a phone skin before I would like to know how I can load the one posted by nt007 at the top of this thread, or a similar one, on to my phone. Can this be done? How do I get started? Thanks!

This works great on my 8525 running WM6 LVSW.

I figured I'd help out since I was sick in bed today.

This is a beatiful looking dialer but unfortunately lacks 2 core features I have gotten used to using Black's rom - the 'down' scroll wheel to get the Speed Dial list and the ability to use the scroll wheel 'click' to dial.
Are these configurable options?

I like the pictures, but when I install the dialer it doesn't look like that. It has a flat look with a gray background with grey buttons and black text.
Any thoughts.

oops...
how do you revert back to the dialer that originally came with the rom?

Very nice. Two questions though. One, is that your own background? Two, what skin and how did you install it for the upper and lower bars?

Whoa.. OK.. Hold up... Jakaroe808 = JPL4 = PaulyA.com... I have no clue what my WM5 dialers will do to your WM6 device so at this point I would not recommend them.. Unfortunately I do not own a Video equipped Hermes (I'm on an 8525) so I have had no opportunity to design skins for it.. I have however put together one skin for WM6 which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306692
I can also take some requests if anyone is looking for general themes with simple backgrounds.. Please let me know.. I know my site has been untouched for some time but hope to have it updated soon.. Poof..... Steppin Out...

Excalibur in 96 DPI

IMO it looks really really nice but of course all the system icons aren't adapted to the new resolution...if any of you know how to edit DLLs and can make an icon set that is adapted to the new resolution it'd be greatly appreciated
to achieve the resolution all you have to do is set the registry values [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\ Display\GPE\LogicalPixelsY] and [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\ Display\GPE\LogicalPixelsX] from 131 to 96 in decimal

Call me crazy but I can't see much of a difference in graphics aside from the extra real estate, which is evident through the additional menu items listed per screen. Has your device been less stable or slower since making the switch? Also, I heard that you need specific .dlls to make the top icons fit properly, is this true and if so where did you get them?

the device is completely stable....and the top icons never worked except the pngs from the rinku topbar. and those are cut off a bit because of the new settings. i know u need specific dll edits and im hoping one of the big dogs could cook a few up for me. ALL the system icons are jagged under 96dpi...and the call screen is also out of wack. i like it cause it looks nicer and makes file browsing easier...so yea. imma keep up hope.

bump x 2.4

so no help with this 96dpi issue? sheesh. the vox people already have a fully functional 96dpi rom....

so I'm never gonna have anyone take this request into consideration huh?
aiight....

joining prayers...
Hey, nice finding man!
If I had any skills as programmer I´d be working on it, but since I have none, all I can do is join you in your requests/prayers... lol
Seriously, can any skilled willing programmer/developer give the guy a help? I guess many will enjoy it.
Cheers.

@ AbsoluteDesignz
I´ve got a little question on the dpi matter...
Do you know if is there any intermediate (between 131 and 96) dpi that can be set without messing the phone up?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers.

ive tried 108, 120, and even went as low as 72...every setting aside from the 131 has the same issues. White System Notification Icons, Jagged system Icons and STK icons out of wack (in 96 DPI the only icons that work are the default ones and in other settings the proportions are off)

I'm with you guys! Let's make this happen!

i dont know how to edit DLLs so i never tried it. in the vox forums they successfully did it so im sure it'll work for the Dash. truth is im waiting for one of the more knowledgeable people to successfully edit the DLLs....heres to hope...
and the basic gist of the new look can be seen on the first page or in the Vox forums

CMyapps

Can someone upload the CMyApplication icons. PLease

there you go

here you go

Worked like a charm...Thank You

what is the use of this CMyapps?
thanks!!!

Creates a panel on your home screen. You are able to link an app to per page. This Reg file(s) have up to 20 pages.
App has to be stored on your phone or on your SD Card.
I think thats a simple explanation.

I'm unable to get the active/inactive icons to work using CHome Configurator. It shows a bloody red X even though I've inserted a URL to the icon I want to use.
Can someone help me? Thanks

i had the same problem but basically i went into Resco and unzipped each icon file individually and when i returned to the screen it was working ... hope that helps and maybe you can help me with something, when i putah this app on my phone and started it when i did i had nrg weather on my homescreen with the 5 day forecast panel but basically now that my apps is on there it doesnt show the 5 day panel anymore and i tried disabling one or more panels to see if it would come back and it didnt and i even tried changing the layout in the CHomeWeather settings ..... any suggestions

Blackjack2, if you already use the Chome Config utility, you can create as many pages you need after enabling/disabling the corresponding panels in it. You can also create multiple panels, as long as you give different names to them. There after if u go into HKLM/SW/MS/Chome, you can see your new panel/page listed there, and can change the icons, action URL, right soft key, title etc etc.. if u want to modify them (you can also do this thing via chome configurator)
Rickywatt has essentially provided reg entries to do this readymade, and has supplied a whole bunch of neat apps that u can give to each page, so that they will look cool on your homescreen

Im having some trouble i put both the files on my phone opend the CAApplication one and did the regestry thing and nothing looks diffrent..

Did u reset the homescreen? Or restarted the phone? Do u use Chome Configurator? If so, did u check whether the CApp panel is hidden? You will have to enable and SHOW it for it to be displayed on homescreen

Is there a way to backup all the setting in the sliding panels,so I dont have to do them all over again when I hard reset my phone? Thanks

very nice! how have you done that?

just replaced taskbar and bottom tabs. use crystal envelope on 'mail' tab also and a few other bits here and there which you cant see.
background goes through all the tabs as well, though annoyingly its slightly softer on the home tab. dont htink a fix has been found for this yet though!

So how's the iconset called ?

its really not very difficult if you search these forums.
the task bar for example, you'll need to install sdkcert cab (which i believe allows adjustments to rom files), then install the taskbar cab. thats all explained in the threads. the slider icons i used were again in a cab file.
generally anything thats compatable will tend to be explained well in the threads and installed in the same way as other 6.1 devices. be wary that this is a new phone though, so 100% compatable themes and the like arent going to be quite so plentyful as other phones!

ok no probs
thats why i have asked for a walk through from people who have done it on the TP2,
tried to alter the weather app the other night after doing a search couldnt get it to work then hamz22 did a walkthrough of what he did on a tp2 which was different to what i had been trying and it was spot on
i have sdk certs on so i will look for the task bar cab
thanks for the hlp

Hi Shingers5,
I really like the look of the icons on the bottom of your screen, any chance you can post a link to the cab or whatever it was you did to achieve this. Oh, and how did you change the colour of your clock?
Thanks

[REQ] Titanium Plugin Calendar

Hi all,
first of all tnx to this forum for all the knowledment, threads and stuff.
Someone can realize a Titanium Plugin to replace standard calendar entry?
I mean, all people love this weather so much?
Please someone think also to satisfy who needs appointments always in the main screen (maybe the next fixed and others scrolling over time in two rows or more!)
Ps1: sorry 4 my english
Ps2: i hope someone can realize it!
cya

Just in case people don't understand his bad english. I believe he would like to have something that shows a calendar and/or more appointments visible as a titanium plugin.
I agree with him as the default one is a joke.

+1, would love this aswell!!

me, too. i would very much love such a plugin. unfortunately i cannot make it myself, because i have no knowledge of programming whatsoever, but if any of you crazy people here on xda needs an idea of a useful app, please put it on your things-to-do-list somewhere.

canalogclock by rpereira shows calendar with latest appointment

What we need is a titanium plugin, that can integrate a *.dll file. And than we can do in this plugin a prog like SPBDiary or PocketBreeze or other Progs. That was fantastic.

We will have a look for JMLToday later Version, that more than 1 appointment will be displayed /can be used by Skinners. Must be made by windows-API - Registry only shows next app. (like you know from 5.3 and 5.4)
Is the Part of JMHL in JMLToday - so I cannot promise it. I sended him API-description. Otherwise I would try to write it in JMLLibrary in C++ - but it would be better direct in JMLaction.exe
That nobody made something like messages2reg also for appointments? mmh... Would be cool for much plugins

I'm still looking for a plugin that shows more than one appointment and lets create or edit. CHeroclok shows the appointmens but only one and don't let me edit or create new ones. Any ideas?

You can modify the .cpr to show next meeting with condense view, and scrolling the panel will show next meetings

What about a nice calendar + tasks plugin ?
If I'd been able to develop such a one, it'd be available for download here... But obviously I'm not a -good- developer !

@camporese:
In JMLToday 5.5. you can see the next 4 Apointments of today and tommorrow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540413
In 5.6 it will be chooseable to as much appointments you want and up to 365 days.
I'm almost finished with Beta of the new Plugin (didn't had much time) , which also uses this system - name is "Blue Prodigy" - sorry for the small pic:
It will be skinable and you see on the second picture that you can see 3 Appointments and with the Arrows you see the 3 before or the three after. In normal view (topmost Pic) you see the next apointment
Perhaps this can fulfil your needs. You will need at least JMLToday 5.5 for BlueProdigy -Plugin.
