Phone dial skins

Hi guys, does anybody know how to change the dialer skin on our artemis?
I tried to look around the forums but I didn't find anything specific for our device... can I use the same procedure used for other devices?
I mean to install eten dialer skin etc.....
Any suggestion is welcomed!!!
One last (and probably stupid) question: with a hard reset I will have back my original dialer in any case is it?
Thanks to everybody
Shift.

Hey shift,
yes, you can use any Dialer written for Windows Mobile 5, just install it, Soft-Reset and of you go
Hard-Reset will indeed replace your phone-dialer with the default one, delivered by your carrier. You can also most likely delete your dialer Skin with the "delete Programs" command in your Pocket PC's Settings.

Hi Samson, thanks for your answer! Can you tell me where I can get some new dialers to try on my artemis?
Thanks again

Try here, or

here. I found some nice ones for me there. The ones i tried work with my Artemis...

Hi Shift,
have look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=263579&highlight=eten+dialer
I have installed the first blue skin on my french artemis and it works well. I prefer the Eten style dialer because the keys are bigger than the standard one and it's more convenient for a "one hand" use.

hi guys, look these awesome phone skins:
http://www.paulya.com/dialerskins.htm

Yeah, that was the third link i wanted to publish, but i misplaced the URL so i couldn't post it. Glad you found it too ^^ I have "Lime" installed, very nice. "Blissed" is also really cool, but the white font of the dialer Text is sometimes hard to read. But great work!

Do you have any problems skinning the call history icons? I just can't get them to change from either the default windows blue ones or perhaps they are an O2 Skin, whatever, I can't get rid of them. HELP!

hi,
i have installed a new dialer skin in my p3300, but i have a problem:
the phone dialer is showed fine, but the calls history and speed dialer
is showed with the default skin.
i have searched at the windows directory and the outgoining, in and missed calls icon as the newly skin aspect.
i have searched at all windows directories and i'm not capable to find the default icons...
is posible that the old missed, in and out call icons are in a dll ??
help me please,.....
thank's

Bartito: same problem here, it seems that on HTC P3300 there is some unique way to display call history...

ok, thanks

I'm using vijaytoggle to turn off both the bottom and top bars, does anyone know the acutal setting for the pixel height for a graphic I'd use for the background for a Mogul?
The standard is 240 x 320 and I know that the height is more than that just don't know how to calculate the extra pixels for the top and bottom bars that are turned off.

Unfortunately the MS web based tool doesn't seem to work.
I have been able to get it to save a couple of output files but only when one of the specified phones which only supports Portrait format is selected. But these .tsk files don't display correctly on my TG01.
If I select one of the phones supporting Landscape as well, it always generates an error and no output file.
Have taken up with Microsoft in the UK but didn't get anywhere.

I've been trying ThemeGenCE but not sure if it is the tool or me - should this be able to create a viable WM6.5 Theme ?
Advice welcomed

HTC Touch HD Windows Mobile 7 Skin UPDATE!!!

This is my first skin for Wisbar Advance Desktop, and I think it's pretty good... The white circle at the bottom is an on-screen scroll wheel, sort of like an iPod, to make on screen navigation easier and quicker. The Windows Icon launches the programs list (i.e. start menu). It also features a new start menu almost identical to beta versions of Windows Mobile 6.5, as well as a sort of TouchFlo 3D-esque interface. I will be releasing it along with a new website later this month, as I still have a few things left to do on both the website (giovani-design.com), and the software. I promise it's gonna be sweet though! Anyway tell me what you think and hopefully I'll be releasing it soon!
***There is now a new picture of what the star menu will look like***

it seems good. i wana try.
From where i can download the theme ?
thankss

why are the picture such high resolution?
dont want to say that it is a fake, but the device has only a wvga-res...

The images aren't screen shots, they are mock-ups made in photoshop. The sofware isn't done yet but it will look exactly the same as it does in the pictures (just not as high res).

Well I hope it's fast and fluent the res is important but when there are glitches it's a big turn off for me .I prefer speed that's useful in everyday useage and if it's bug free that will be my new WAD UI for sure.Hope it works as great as it looks keep up the good work if you need testing I volunteer right away.

I am optimizing it for the Touch HD, and it should run very smoothly. I am still working on it and so far there haven't been any problems. I will be posting the website soon, but the software will not be available for at least another month. But I would be more than happy to let you beta test it, once it's in the finishing stages. I'm in school right now so I have a limited time to work on it, otherwise it would be done by now

Hail SILLWANDERZ!
FANTASTIC!!
Please release this soon..
Keep up the great work..

Re: [Skin]
Maybe it's better to add some more information to title, e.g for what app and name of the skin.

It's good now but 10minutes ago there was only "[skin]" in title of this thread.

You have to copy the zip file into the skins directory en SDcard, if the directory doesn´t exist, create one and name it SKINS.

Enjoy.

Thank you for these 2 skins. Nice to see them as the skins forum is a mess as I'm sure most of you know. Be good to see more posted here as a religious smart keyboard pro user for years.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

Your second skin looks awesome, but wish it was an apk instead so it could be used with Kii keyboard..DL. anyway.I like smart keyboard, but Kii is superior imo

MBM v11
iPhone like Smartkeyboard skin
Little shadow and smoothed keys

I know this is an old thread.... can't seem to find anyone having this problem. I created 'skins' folder and put downloaded skins there; Smart Keyboard Pro doesn't seem any of them. Tried putting them on the external sd still nothing. On CM12.

[DEV] Windows 8.1 Touch-Keyboard Customisation & more

Hi all
after some research to customise the W8 on screen keyboard,
i have replace a duib resources by a duib xml extracted from W8 beta version....
this can also be used to edit some other parts of the Modern UI...
this work is at alpha stage an contain some visual bug as you can see at the end of this post.
i'm always working on it but i hope some users will also contribute!
you can try this mod by replacing the dll tabskb.dll by the attached version (x64)
or replace the resources UIFILE/15731 in yours using reshack.
there is a lots of customisation possibility:
add a key border (color,size...)
change key background color.
change keyboard background color...
& a lot more with better understanding of the duib xml...
you need to take ownership of the file & kill tabtip.exe....
Tested on Windows 8.1 6.3.9600.17031
Code:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ink\tabskb.dll

Windows 8.1 Hidden Start Menu Animation
During my test i have found some registry key used for the start menu animation but not present !
you can customise how the tiles appear with those keys:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell\Grid]
"Launcher_AnimationOffset_Launcher_Cx"=dword:00000000
"Launcher_AnimationOffset_Launcher_Cy"=dword:00000000
"Launcher_AnimationOffset_IndividualTower_Offset"=dword:00000000
For exemple:
"Launcher_AnimationOffset_Launcher_Cx"=dword:00002000
tiles come from right.
"Launcher_AnimationOffset_Launcher_Cy"=dword:00002000
from bottom
There is also this one to have the anim like at login but this can be slow....
"Launcher_SessionLoginAnimation_OnShow"=dword:00000001

Can it be transparent?

In fact stock keyboard background is transparent but the Tabtip window is black.
Maybe by editing an other resources,i will take a look...

IMHO - one of the biggest things needed for windows 8.1, is opacity control, and gesture support for the onscreen keyboard. I have the 8" Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet, and when the keyboard pops up, it literally takes up 3/4 of the screen in landscape mode. Portrait mode is not so bad, I would love to have gesture support as well - swipe like functions. The feature is now on Windows Phone (gestures), why cant we get it on W8.1.

it would be good to know how to change the font size on the "extended" (full) keyboard ... I would like it to be "Bold" type like on the normal keyboard.

does anyone know of a swipe keyboard for w8.1? I Tried TouchPal and it say it has the swipe feature, however when I check it does nothing?
