Is it possible to skin the default phone dialer? I have trouble dialing with my thumb so I am wishing I can make the buttons bigger.
Check out SmartDial + Eten dialskin.
I like the Dr.Shultz skin on page 7.
Make sure to explore your device with Activesync. Go to \Windows and rename Mfc80u.dll to anything (like Mfc80u.dll.old) to fix the Pictures and Video issue.
Good luck!

Check out http://www.paulya.com/etenskins.htm he's got some nice skins for the Eten Dialer (not Default dialer)...
I'm using the 44TI. In the past I used one of his themes and had the matching dialer... i think its the vista grass b theme with the vista trans origin dialer skin
Thank you everyone, ETen is exactly what I was looking for.
Hi,
Searched the forums but can't find this-
Looking for a black dialer skin for my Tilt-not a HTC one,and not a customized one(with different fonts for the buttons/or buttons), just the same dialpad as the ATT stock ROM, but in black.
Any help?
Alemaker
Registry:
HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin
"Enabled" = 0
This turns off the stupid AT&T Blue Dialer Skin.
You must reset your device before the skin change will happen.
This registry tweak also disables the HTC SmartDialer program. Is there a way to have your cake and eat it, too?
Solved-sort of
got one REAL close to basic black!!
SpbBlack47_DialerSkin
background has greyish marble-like veins-cool!!
Doesn't disable smartdialer either!
attached a pic and the cab!!!
woohoo!!
Alemaker
These skins work with the Smart Dialer
http://www.zombienexus.net/portal/GL_Display.asp?SEC=3&EntryID=512
They've got bigger buttons (not as big as Touch Dialer), and they're available in a bunch of colors.
I'm going to try to reverse Engineer the ETEN Dialer and skins that PaulyA was working on. Hardest part should be creating the Photoshop template.
Speaking of which, now that ETEN has released their new WM6 phones, anyone ripped the dialer prog from them yet? Would be nice to see if they updated it for WM6.

how do you make the text white? i installed the supplied cab on my tilt and the text is yellow.
Alemaker-
Great look on that dialer. Very oem!
Black Dialer...
I went and created my own, but now that I've seen the SpbBlack47 one, I'm going to make some modifications to it. Here's the Black Screen I plan on using. Let me know if you'd like it.
Be careful with goestoeleven's advice. According to the zombienexus website: "Saturday November 17 2007 update: Note: Newer HTC models (HTC Tytn II / Kaiser and HTC Touch) have their own custom dialpads, these skins aren't suitable for them. Do not install! You might have to hard reset if you cannot remove these skins via remove in settings." (http://www.zombienexus.net/portal/page_display.asp?pid=3) I have seen people on other forums report serious problems with these dialpads/skins on their Tilts.
I have recently been using Pointui (the newest version.. you can get it here: http://pointui.com/) and thought it would be nice to have my contact app match my home screen and everything else of Pointui.
So.. here it is!
Update:
.....For different bubble types, go to post #8! (here)
.....Landscape phonepad issue fixed.
.....There are now TWO versions.. Black and Blue
There is no screenshot for the blue version (had no time), but it is all the same as the black theme except for the color changes to match the blue of Pointui.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Important to know in order to use this theme:
........new layout of settings panel means that you must hold down the upper left hand settings cog to get to the settings panel. It will load slowly the first time you do it, however after that it is instant.
........press the upper left hand settings cog to get the phonepad.
........press the upper right hand arrow to get to the filterlist (main contact, contact with sms, contact by business, favorite contacts, etc). This is only in the Favorites view, the All Contacts view, and the Contacts with SMS view. The arrow is Cancel and Back button in all other pages.
........the lower bar is the button that takes you between Contacts with SMS and All Contacts. If you find it too difficult to press it (I have an HTC Touch so it is very easy), you can always just press the upper right hand arrow to navigate to whichever page you want instantly.
........a finger swipe left or right horizontally will bring you to the favorites page
........there is a yellow speak box that appears in the bottom right hand corner that will alert you of how many new texts you have. It will go away after a while and will reappear each time you switch between pages.
........I recommend that you turn on "Show Favorite Icon" in the options of PocketCM Contacts
........Separators and Contact list pictures are disabled even if you try to turn them on
Download PocketCM Contacts v.20b HERE
Download PocketCM Keyboard v0.14 HERE if you want my skin
Download PointUI v1.02b HERE
I think that's it!
LANDSCAPE IS FULLY SUPPORTED!
The screenshots are below in a .zip file, if you would rather see them in your webpage.. go HERE
Download the htctoucher PointUI.zip or htctoucher Pointui Blue.zip, sync with your device and drag the .zip into your PocketCM Contacts folder in Program Files.. then select it in options.
Enjoy!
I had forgotten to post up my keyboard skins.. they match pretty well.. attached screenshot and .zips
.....In order of left to right the screenshots are: htctoucher Pointui darkbg and htctoucher Pointui Touchpal (this keyboard skin has the animation of touchpal when pressed)
There is no screenshot of htctoucher Pointui Lightbg to make room for the Blue version of my theme. The only difference is a lighter background (like the touchpal one).
can you update your link to the specific topic at pocketcm phorum.. the one you gave just points to the index
thanks

New Variant - SMS Gradient Bubbles with Arrows
I have created different variants for both the Blue and Black versions of this theme.. attached is a screenshot
The bubbles were taken from my other theme (16 variant theme.. link below in my signature)
Enjoy!
thanks,
htctoucher
the theme variant in the first post is Gradient No Arrows, featured in the screenshots in the first post, but not in this one.
This sucks, I love the theme & would like to get it but my bubble look terrible, not quite a bubble, it is deformed in a way, it does't look like the pics posted, it has sort of a barthat attaches to it, has anyone else encountered this as well???

Could you possibly do this for me.. as I remember you had this problem on my other theme as well:
1. Download MagicSS here
2. Sync your device to your computer and run the .exe file which will install MagicSS on your device.
3. Go into settings on your device, then buttons, and set one of your hard buttons to MagicSS in the drop down menu
4. Open up PocketCM Contacts and while in the SMS Bubble view, press the hard button you mapped MagicSS to and then save the screencapture somewhere (preferably to your storage card so you can drag it back onto your desktop through snyc)
5. Attach the file either to a PM or post it here so I can look at it and know exactly what you are talking about.
Also.. check that you are using PCMContacts v.20b and a QVGA screen
Other than that, I really do not know how to help you.. thats so weird that the only problem you are having is the bubbles..
see if you can do the above steps and I will see if I can help you, although I am not sure if I will be able to since it seems it is specific to your device.
htctoucher

having an Samsung SGH-i780 phone and thus a 320x320 screen means that your beautifull theme is not working as it should. So what about an update for these square screens?
Anyone knows how do I install Pocket Calendar ?
Hi,
Works great...except:
1. What is the easiest way to access contacts? I have a touch and the only way I found is to go to the phone and select contacts.
2. What is the easiest way to get out of contacts?
Thanks.

1. I put a shortcut in my cube so it is really easy to get to. If you are willing to do this I can tell you how, you will basically have to edit one of the shortcuts already in your cube to PocketCM. You can also put it in your start menu.
2. Tap on the upper right hand corner of the screen when in PocketCM, it will minimize (not close) the program.
I thought the UI program can be run by itself without PocketCM

It can, this theme combined with PocketCM just makes it so your SMS chat and contacts looks as if it is part of Pointui
I've created a skin for MortPlayer (Version 3.31 b76 onwards) that is inspired by the iPhone but deals with the small amount of screen space available on QVGA devices.
I started with ruebyi's S2P4 skin, so credit to him for his original skin.
Some of ruebyi's original graphics remain (thanks again to ruebyi - hope you don't mind), but the whole skin has been re-written to provide more dynamic interface features, such as:
Scrubber bar (tap track info at top to toggle on/off)
Full album cover view using glass controls (tap just above << || >> controls to toggle)
Play list editing (tap playlist name to edit, save or save as)
Better spacing of lists for improved finger control
The skin is implemented using 3 skin files (.MPS) the one to select from MortPlayer choose skin options is the TouchPlayer.mps, ignore the other two (TouchPlayer-part2.mps and TouchPlayer-part3.mps) these are used internally for the play list screens.
Install as normal by copying the .MPS and skin directory to the MortPlayer directory - note that it can't be operated in an .MPZ because it needs to load the part2 and part3 skins files and this doesn't work when in an .MPZ.
Some helpful hints for using the skin:
Tap the track/album info at the top to to show/hide the scrubber bar.
Tap just above the << || >> controls at the bottom to toggle between normal and transparent matte glass contrlols (better for full view of album covers)
Tap the playlist name to edit the playlist
Change the next track to currently selected track by tapping the next track on scrubber bar.
Slide left/right on cover to change prev/next track - good when in car.
Slide up/down on cover to change prev/next album/playlist.
Tap battery to exit/quit
Tap "Alarm off" at top left to set an alarm.
Tap'n'hold cover to access the MortPlayer menu
Few final notes:
it's for QVGA only, for larger resolutions devices the UI space issues are not a problem, hence the glass controls etc are not really required.
an update for WQVGA would be possible to better optimize for the taller screen, but I don't have a device WQVGA to do it with. Having said that the .MPS files just need playing with to move things up/down, anyone want to try?
its portrait only, because I never use landscape. It would be a lot of work to create a landscape view and very difficult to make a good looking full screen cover view...
Some improvements I plan:
I might change the [Playlist] button to be the same one used in the other screens, rather than a text button.
I'd like buttons for [Save] and [Save as] that are graphic and smaller, but can';t think what to use. I tried a floppy disk and didn't like it (who uses floppies anymore anyway?) amd then how to do save as...
I want to improve the alarm screen to be finger friendly (especially when you first wake up) - so big snooze, stop and cancel buttons I think, maybe in version 2...
For those of you who like crisp screenshots without JPG artifacts, see attached ZIP file
Please feel free to comment, criticise, suggest improvements, changes or any requests.
Enjoy!
Nice skin for good program(better, than these bs apps served on xdadev, for sure).
This is really a nice skin work for Mortplayer.
Thanks to you, my 2.5 years old Polaris/ Cruise is now bright and shine again.
Small thing, it crashes when the cover.jpg is too large. But I don't try to figure out is it from the skin or Mortplayer itself. Simply avoid this in the future.
Anyone interested in a WVGA version?
I've just upgraded from Tytn II to HD2. I'm not finding many WVGA skins out there and am contemplating creating a version of my TouchPlayer MortPlayer skin for WVGA.
Only problem is finding time, but during the xmas break I might have some spare time.
Would anyone else like this skin converted to WVGA? Anyone got some suggestions on layout since the HD2/WVGA screen is taller there won't be any need for buttons overlapping the cover.
Given the effort involved I'm tempted to create a totally new skin that will fit in with HTC Sense better but based on this skins design... but then again I like the simplicity of the i-phone layout...
Karl.

Yea cool skin and friendly! I had thought that the cover image was too big also, so i resized it for HTC Touch and others screens
it's raccomandable to use cover images 165x165 px
default skin cache
I've installed the latest Beta MortPlayer v3.31 b77 and found a great iPhone skin (found here). After selecting this skin, Mortplayer asks if you want to cache the current default skin for faster startup, to which I replied 'Yes'.
I've since made a change to one of the graphics within the .mpz file but MortPlayer appears to be continuing to use the cached version. I've tried selecting other skins then selecting this skin again in hopes it would reload the .mpz but with no success.
Does anyone know where this cache is located or how I can force MortPlayer to re-cache the updated skin?
Thanks in advance

I did eventually create a WVGA iphone skin for mortplayer and have been using for the last 18 months. I'm still using the WM6 and mortplayer, not sure if anyone else is though. Does anyone want a copy?

Hey all,
I would like to share a skin that I have created for the fantastic music player application MortPlayer. Over the years this forum has been incredibly useful to me and this is my way of saying thank you / giving back to the community
There are some very nice MortPlayer skins out there, however I was unable to find one that worked nicely in windowed mode in WM 6.5.x (WVGA). I like to see the notification bar at the top for messages etc, however every skin I tried had an annoying gap due to the smaller top bar of 6.5.x (start menu at bottom), didn't utilise the screen space or was mis-aligned. I like editing stuff and so I decided to create my own!
It was made in the style of the other 'white' HTC sense applications (hence the skin name), like HTC Calculator, FM Radio, MP3 Trimmer etc. I'm OCD about these sorts of things, I like everything to match. The bottom bar is therefore also visible. When I say created, in fact I mostly just re-used the images of the HTC applications from my \Windows folder, and re-arranged / edited them to make a skin, mostly from MP3 trimmer.
It is designed for WVGA, but I guess it wouldn't be too hard to edit for WQVGA by halving all the dimensions / images. I have since created a version that should work with WVGA WM5/6/6.5 ROMs as well, allowing for the bigger top menu bar. I don't have one of these installed to test it though.
There's some screen shots of the skin on my Touch Pro2 attached below.
Pressing the 'screen' area of the player (where the album art, track name, artist etc. is displayed) takes you to the playlist screen. Pressing the "Music Library" title bar on either screen takes you to the Open dialog, I just named it that because it looks nice You could probably change this in the skin file if you wanted to.
Versions:
HTCWhite.zip - for WM6.5.x,
HTCWhiteWM6.5.zip - for WM5/6/6.5
HTCWhiteUpdated.zip - only use if HTCWhite.zip doesn't display properly for you, i.e. the open screen has the top cut off (WM6.5.x)
Installation:
Simply download one of the attached ZIPs, depending on your ROM (explained above). You can then either just change the extension from .zip to .mpz and copy the file to the MortPlayer installation directory on your phone, or unzip the ZIP and copy the contained .mps skin file and folder. It's probably best not to change any of the file / folder names in either case. Then select it from within MortPlayer and enjoy
Looks great. Thanks!
You're welcome
UPDATE:
Added a version for WM5/6/6.5

Hi jamiemckee,
it looks like the older style of GTX. Fantastic skin. I allways use this player because all the AC-3 issues. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Awesome skin for an excellent player. Thanks mate!
No problem
UDPATE:
After upgrading to a new ROM, for some reason the open dialogue of my skin does not display properly, it cuts off some of the top. I can't for the life of me figure out why, it's the exact same MortPlayer cab I used to install it on my old ROM, and the same version of windows, and the same skin file.
Anyway, if you're also having this strange problem, I've added an updated version to the first post that fixes the issue. If the original one works fine for you, then just ignore me
