It is theoretically possible, but the bubbles would all be the same color, which kind of defeats the purpose. Plus, if the text is more than one line, it won't look very good.
Needless to say, I've already tried it.

Finally a good look for this bad looking app. THNX!

this is great, thanks for this.

i dont now if it work on VGA... i dont have a VGA device...
can you try my skin, i dont find any other grafics, so i think it work.

someone now how to change the font color?

this is exactly what ive been lookin for, but do you plan on releasing a black version with white font? been lookin for that ever since i found out about sms chat

What I would love to go with this is a iphone like SMS popup (see picture). Or something similar but with a HTC style. One of the main puposes that I use this for is the notifications. I love this theme!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the theme, i'm thinking to make my own theme, what graphic editor should i use ? i can't open your file with Paint.NET

FunContact
Great Skin, Love how it makes it more HTC original. Can you please make one for FunContact?
I LOVE the black theme, but i work a lot moving around and the black background makes reading the screen hard.
Cheers,
paul

Great skin here. Thanks for sharing.

I used Adobe Photoshop to modify the image, Adobe Fireworks to put all together, and photoshop again to create the bmp
(The bmp MUST be 16bit R5 G6 B5)

Sorry, post links for download.
+1 for a blue or black background. The "glass" is very nice but makes it hard to view some of the white text. Great job!
possible black background
just an idea...text is hard to read, here are some potential candidates for the black background
it would be nice if you wouldn't change the original theme only the colors to look like glass and stuff but the original theme to remain the same.so can you change only the colors please? thamx.

OK. I will make any variants of background.
Blue/Black
....first off....most impressive...i agree with most of the comments that either a default blue or black would be generally preferd....apart from that its fantastic....(nice balance)....looking forward to your update....
Nice themes....with the unique icons and transparents....
I'll gonna try with my device now....Thanks...
very good. Thanks a lot.
oo and one more thing..can you please make it available on VGA too ?! and can you please tell me how can I link Vito SMS chat to the button above the clock, instead of entering into original sms software, I want to enter in vito sms chat ?! THANKS.
yeah
man i realy like it ... looking forward for a "wm7blue" version too ... it would be awesome !!!!
but whats "MOGILEV" over the wheter icon??? it is possible to change this?
for the background can u make this one in it? (attechment)
Excellent Work!!!! Thank you for your hard work!!! One question, How do I change the City name on the home screen to my city( New Bedford) from Mogilev? Ive tried and tried changing the qa layout dat file to zip and every time I try to change it back to a dat file from the zip file it stays zip. I LOVE this theme I would just really like to have my city, Im sick of people asking me what Mogilev is,LOL. Thank You VERY MUCH!!
This is awesome!
I really like this theme, and appreciate your hard work and very nice graphics.
Like previous post. I searched everywhere to change the city, but can't locate it. Can you show us where I should look.
I love the clock, just like RomModv22 with black background.
Thank you!
p.s. Will there be landscape mode ?
Question for other people: How can I edit to use my blackdiamond dialer, instead of this contact dialer?
...like it!...
ohh that caught my eye..

311 Realize Icons VGA/QVGA

Update 4. December:
- 311 Icons now. 24 new Icons (First Picture). I reorganized the download section.
Weather Icons can be downloaded here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441303
I got some requests for VGA Icons, and made this Icons for all VGA and QVGA devices. All Icons are also for "IFONZ" (i recommend a black or dark Background) and ICO for "Ultimatelaunch". with some skils you can use the png files also for WAD2, touchlauncher, MobileShell and so on.
Please don´t forget to donate or even give me credits when you make a project with the Icons. Thank you.
The Look is the "Realize"-Icon Look (there are some other good Realize Icons out there so google for that style if you need different or more)
Here are the new Icons and a small preview of whats done so far:
Be u ti ful... yo :0
thanks in advance (considering i haven't started using them yet )
hi Nir , made 3 new (see screenshot), i will post first Icons tomorrow.
do you have a vga device and for what application do you want them and what is your favorite size ?

nice icons bluemetalaxe
thank you man
wow these look really good. they look really bright. can't wait to see how they will look on my phone!
great job as usual!
stay tuned guys, here is your new tomtom (can`t see no more redhands ) and a Part of the Gutenberg Bible (First ever printed book of the world by Johannes Gutenberg, Mainz/Germany, 1455/56).
man, these look great. im still using the last set you put out (really its the only set ive used) and i think these might finally get me to change them out.
Hi Blue,
These icons are really great! Unfortunately, since I went over to Todaylife, I have no place to use them. It almost makes me want to go back to using a cube launcher.
Thanks in advance.
@Motisu: yes, but i can use them for my bluephone skin for today life
Greetings
@All : what formats and sizes do you need (escpecially for VGA-Devices) ?
Well, I'm using WAD2 (still in RC) and I'm using 60x60 icons. But probably there are very little people using such format
Edit: I forgot, png are fine :-D
okay, good, i think nearly everyone here at XDA devs can make icons smaller or bigger even with microsoft paint, so you or other WAD users can use the 96p or 48p pngs and resize them like you want. thanks for your feedback.

I totally agree, there are a lot of tool to batch resize the 96 pixel icons to 60 ones, for example.
So 96 pixel is ok for me
Thanks a lot!
i was too buzy today, but here are 30 Icons in first post, at the moment only one size and png.
looking good. got the first set into UL and cant wait for the rest of them.
More more more my new German Rom cries for new icons
okay 12 more (some modified iphone rips also) and now all Icons for Ifonz.Have fun.
hey bluemetal, theres a couple icons missing from the updated 96 pngs that you included in ifonz release. and i didnt know if it was intentional. theyre total comm and file explorer. just thought id mention it
thank you, i know that but when starting i made this two only in 48 pixels and must make them new in 96 p, so they will come the next days also as png.

If this icons don´t look as good on your device, this can result in
a) a small qvga screen and the icons are scaled down too much and loose too much details.
b) using a app or converting icons to .bmp. .bmp does not support partly tranparent pixels that are needed for smooth corners (without white pixels) and the shadows.
c) windows mobile still can display only 65.000 colors and still can´t handle .png graphics.
If you use this for a ROM, Application or a theme here, just give me some credits, no need to ask. It is not allowed to post this icons anywere else or use them for commercial apps without my permission.

I am sure that you are rather busy, but was wondering if you would be able to make 3 icons to be used with iPhoneToday? The three applications are Pandora, Palringo, and MusicID. If not, I completely understand.
i made a small Update: reworked the s2u2 and made 7 new Icons.

Hi Blue , happy to see you here again
can you make Settings png colored ? (Green background ?)
@Jeanette: yes, you´re right, sometimes i´m too optimistic Would like to see them on a screen. So here is the last one for today especially for you: Bing.
@brunoisa10: Hallo, thanks, nice to be back, although i don`t know whats uptodate on windows mobile´. A green settings background, are you really sure this would look good
Its midnight here, so see you tomorrow.
I am perverted, or does the title say "iReflect: New High Qualitity Icons for Windows Mobile Apps"
Those icons looks great. Please make some PSD template for Gimp so everyone can make it ;-)

[Theme]Rock and Republic black Mod WVGA, 6.5.x + Black Dialer

I've made cabs for those that need a way to install the Rock and Republic Black theme. They are complete packs in each case for those without the necessary files and/or .tsk already installed.
1) 1st cab with the default Red/Black Softkey bar and my own matching Wallpaper:
2) 2nd cab with a Black Softkey bar and a different matching Wallpaper:
In both instances the Softkeys have been changed from the original Grey Oval ones to the better Glossy squares and both themes work in Portrait and Landscape.
Only one can be installed at a time and will overwrite an existing Rock and Republic black theme if there is one installed already. (Select Rock and Republic black from the Appearance settings screen as usual to change to the installed mod.)
Perfect!
It's exactly what I was searching for recently, since the old one cannot be used on 6.5.3 new UI.
Thank you very much!

No problem
I was searching too as i was looking for a base theme to modify to my taste in case i ever needed to install one. As i like the Red/Black contrast the Rock and Republic theme seemed the closest to what i wanted, but the only R & R files and .tsk that i could find on the forum were incomplete. i.e probably from an older version of WM.
The ROM i'm on now has the coloured Softkey bar, which previous versions were lacking, as well as a few other nice details here and there. Noticably some of the .png files seem to be shared, 'default' files in the Windows folder. I packaged them up to in case i land on a future ROM that doesn't have them already installed.
Thanks for the mod.

[Skin] PhonEx Post-apocalypse WVGA :: v1.2 added ::

OK, I've been in a post-apocalyptic mood lately, and, after the taskbar, I've skinned PhonEx.
In developing the skin, I focused on the dialer, so other areas aren't yet complete, but they'll work for now (my basis was an Android skin I picked up over at 4pda.ru, so the remaining "unskinned" elements are from there, and I take no credit for that).
::Update:: More skinning...
good job, keep it up!
woow... my phone feels like somthing from fallout now. sweet! ^_^'
I find this very cool... downloading...
it seems my prediction about fallout theme failed =/
not because of poor quality (i haven't been able to try it yet) but i couldn't find a way to install it. i put the .ist file under "\Program Files\Iconsoft\Phonex\skins" folder but phonex didn't recognize it.. any idea why?

Umm, it might be that only PhonEx v2.2 recognizes it... What version are you using?
The skinning program I used has an option for creating a skin for either v2.2 or v2... I think I saw skinning programs for earlier versions (~v1) somewhere, I might try using that...

Hello cloudspine and thank you for this nice skin , here is the WQVGA version.
great skin!
are you planning on releasing rusty/post apocalyptic theme suite? because I am very interested in rusty theme
bad thing that my HD2 (wvga) running android in daily basis. which left my TouchPro (VGA). and surely I can't get the skin works on my TP.
but anyway, cool skin bro!
keep up the good work!
Oh my god

Thank you very much is really pretty

Ah, a rusty/post apocalyptic theme suite would be great! But the work involved, maybe one day Right now I wish I could skin HTC Messaging, but I can't yet figure out which files cover what...
Anyways, the skin should work on your TP, I think The skinning program has an option for creating either a (W)QVGA or a (W)VGA skin... So i guess it could work either way, try it...
