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.

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
All,
This is my first attempt as modding a theme.. I think I did a good job..
I took the PDVista PocketCM theme with PD's permission and modded the graphics. I also got help from DvTonder to correct the mail icon issue with the newer version of PocketCM.
This will work with PocketCM .21 - .23
This looks just like the HTC Diamond, background, pop up icons on the bottom, etc..
If someone wants to do the graphics over, be my guest.. I would love to play more but don’t have the time.. I spend like a week and change to get things where they are now..
Graphics that need to be done over:
Dial pad needs to be done in gloss black
Dial pad "pressed" buttons need to be done over in gloss black
Menu "pressed" buttons need to be done over with the fancy black diamond theme icon (I included it in the zip).
The icons on the main contact menu need to be done over in gloss black.
This theme has a Greatbal Diamond Look.
Eazy
great work thanks you
guess nobody was really interested..
Wooooooooooooo!
theme now switched!!!!!!!!!!!!!!this gets better and better!

I tried using the search on here but it sucks. It just brings up a bunch of threads for themes.

What do you mean, lol. Hush your mouth, lol. Many are interested. Your theme inspired me to use pocketcm all over again, lol. Thanks and look forward to more of your work.
Edit: I noticed your theme is a large one, almost a 1mb. Which I imagine the larger the file (theme) the slower it starts up. Nice theme though.
It looks sweet. The only thing that I don't like about it is that I can't see the phone numbers on the contact screen without scrolling down to it.
A little bit too dark for my taste, as I was using a diamond theme but with white background, but since this one doesn't have the bugs my previous one had I'm changing now, thank you and good work
Wow! Just downloaded pocketcm and your theme rocks! I'm a noob.... anyway to incorporate the text messaging from pocketcm into the standard texting from spb shell using one of the themes people have posted... (such as diamond theme?)
this looks good
will try it once i reinstall pocketcm --- testing icontact right now - and i dont like it
o nooooooooooooooooooooo!
skin turns aqua blue in letter spaces between contacts.and the menu to close and pick options never fully rises. now i'm sickbest skin for this app i seen yet.
What can I say.... EXCELLENT.
Hello,
I just installed it on htc Touch and the color of the font is BLACK for all contacts. So, I can not see any. The color needs to be set to WHITE. Thanks.
looks nice, thanks man, working on my prophet

I use it on my Mogul and it seems to be fine. It's not so bad on startup and I found that it only uses up about 2 mbs of memory.

Honestly, i got tired of reading the whole text message and could not figure out how to disable the auto show phone number with contacts option and make it come up when you select it in the options. so i just made it black, i can change it and upload two diff copies for you guys. If someone can look at the code and tell me what the option is to give the control back to the options "show contacts with phone number" i will change it.

Thanks.. I will prob finish up the graphics since you all like it.. You may want to try a soft reset... I have tested this on my Mogul only.. I can change the highlighted colors if you really want me to.. but it makes it easy to see.. What about two shades of blue??
hi,
one problem i have and not sure if other has the same. In the option i check on "contact without phone" but it still show phone number. I would like to only show just the name.
I have AT&T Tilt
Thanks
problem with menu that comes up from holding down the far right button. doesnt come up all the way. anyone else have this problem? i would also prefer highlighting that menu in a different color than hot pink. excellent job overall.
Can you change the font for the phone numbers to be white instead of black? Then it would be perfect

You're my boy blue!!!
Man, here you are again with the icons, I'm excited! I just gave my Touch the Diamond overhaul today.
My suggestion on the style would be to either keep it the way you have (I personally use the grayscale effect in UL on the icon touch) or have the icon image in grayscale with the Diamond green font, I believe it's an emerald color.
WIcKED
I agree. I would like to see the grey scale my self. I'm starting the diamond express on my touch as we speak. Your the man blue. Oh by the way, thanks for all the support you've showed in the General Questions thread. Keep up the good work.
thanks for your feedback.
okay here is another test.
But i think we need some color, but text or picture ? Both would be too much.
ChANGED My MinD
Actually , I changed my mind. I just started gettin some of the home screens on my touch, and I would actually much rather use the Opera in red. I would really like to see both. You couldn't really get it perfect unless you could mix it up with the grey scale and the color's.
How about instead of the gray outline, use the green, with the colored icon and black font?
mmh, after some sleeping, i thing the first thought is often the best, i will make some icons for testing with grey text and colored symbols and try them also in vga
question: what iconsize do you need for vga , 64 x 64 ?
definitely both vga and qvga.
My perfect icons would have
1. Color variants: Black and White
2. Highlight/Border color: Green for White, White/Gray for Black
3. No Text, Only Images
4. Images in Gray/Black/White (I prefer un-colored)
Thanks mate.
as some of you may know i was making about 340 icons for my last set. so making this new one with black and white background would be too much for one man, because this will last weeks or months.
so i will do the white background because i like this clean white style that is so different to all this black styles here in the community.
but i will do more tests and again some questions:
1 do you need the icons also highlighted and for what app ??
2 what size do you need for vga ??
Update see first Post !
I like.... Can you put a small YouTube in your CorePlayer icon?
Can you please make some QVGA ones for Kaiser? Thanks
54 Icons are Ready, also new coreplayer with youtube.
See first Post
I have a few requests if possible:
netfront, active sync, spb backup, slingplayer and ewallet. Also, if you could possibly post the icons in .ico format for ultimate launch. Thanks in advance, your icons always rock!
Blue, always making my PPC eye candy. Love the work man! I would say use the same apps from the prev set.
@m_kranzler11: blue listed the site to download software to convert to .ico
Love the "AC/DC" on the sounds icon! Cause I'm back in black..
Diamond Icons in .ico for UltimateLaunch
Here is the first set in .ico.
Enjoy!
And of course, thanks to blue!

Icons are far too small for Ultimatelaunch. Can you make it 48x48?
great work on the icons
They are in 48x48, .ico images have different size sets included in one, did you adjust the size in UL?
Trust me they work, there on my Touch right now.

Hello everyone,
Just finished another version of Titanium Themes I am working on. I have portrait & landscape cabs for: VGA, WVGA, QVGA & WQVGA.
The .cab changes your titanium text to icons only, the background, taskbar, etc will not be changed.
Note that I do like the text, however, the icons allow for a more visible background.
Themes are thanks to twolf & mallman as it could not have been completed without them.
I suppose we can call QVGA & WQVGA official, no weather or Opera support now though I do intend to add them ...one of these years.
Downloads attached in this post. Betas are thanks to OndraSter.
You may lock up your phone & have to clear storage, so I recommend you back up first.
A new not so beta WVGA has been added for download. Note the home tab is slightly different (4th screen). Support for Opera & a few other plugins was added so long as you install your plugins first. Lastlly you won't have the Neuropol font, which is only attached to the home tab, unless you add it to \windows\fonts\. I dunno if I can attach it here or not so here's a link to dload it for now: http://www.dafont.com/neuropol.font
Background for VGA screens are from SsS (by Deck on PPC) rom default, stated made by jbchow.
Please feel free to modify & repost this theme as long as it is free.
Enjoy!
very slick
very impressive! Could you upload your wallpaper as well?
This looks good. I didn't like the large text, so reduced it...but your idea of having icons is perhaps even better. I wonder if there is a way to show the icon and when you put u drag the bar, if the icon + text can show. I'll give it a shot when I have some free time.
Thanks
SeanFromSoCal: You should be able to do both. I was thinking about changing the icon to text only when highlighted myself. However, the preview of messages, etc is the only reason I stray from doing so.
My next icon only theme will remove at least one of the secondary icons. You may have noticed the time/alarm was slightly lower than the other icons, it is my intention to release a set without the time/alarm icons on the time bar to better show backgrounds.
eleguent: About the background question, apologies as it is not mine to give, however, you could extract it from the SsS rom here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=68755
oldsap: Thank you!
Thanks everyone, I hope the set is enjoyed. Also, please feel free to rip this thing apart & reuse it to your pleasure so long as you keep it free.
ok realease on qvga NOW i love it

I'm with you. In attempts to maximize the amount of background shown I also tried messing around with the layer heights. I was trying to make the ClockExpanded height nearly full screen and leaving all the other layers their current height, but the Titanium doesn't appear to let you have different height attributes. When I make all of the plugin heights larger (trying to get fullscreen/near fullscreen plugins), the text would get distorted.
Stupid M$! Fix your Titanium UI to make it recognize all XML attributes so we can full flexibility.
am waiting lool
ive installed the cab but cant see it in the list of themes.
am i doing something wrong?

I believe you may not be using the windows default (titanium theme).
The theme should appear when you check "Windows Default" in you Today settings.
Please let me know how it goes.

You could do that by shifting the images of the clock plugin outside the panel and insert above the clock plugin some blank plugins so the text of the other condensed plugins does not come in the way.

A snapshot of the new icons
I think they look very good on my phone. coming tomorrow..
New Icons for Androkkid "TransparentFrames" finally!
These new Icons should work better for those of you who have like me found the standard winmo icon ugly and pixelated.
I have always thought that some of the IPhone's attraction was the beautiful icons that were uniform in size and shape. So I made my own for Ifonz (based on other people's graphic work). When Androkkid came along I loved the scenic wallpapers you could use but I thought the beautiful scenery of the wallpapers became too cluttered with the IPhone style icons and that the square icons ruined the effect of the beautiful wallpapers.
So these new icons are designed to preserve a uniform style and at the same time be better integrated into the "scenery" by using transparency.
I hope that some of you will have a look at these and tell me what you think
PS If you resize these, they will not work. If they are resized by Androkkid they are fine.
If you want to use these and need other icons, ask me on the themes Thread and I'll see what I can do.
!!!!IMPORTANT!!!!
I HAVE MOVED ALL ICON DEVELOPMENT TO THIS THREAD
New!!! Golden Frames
For those who really want to pimp up our phones
here are some Screenshots
The theme used is Teacher's Gold which you find below with the icons
More Screenshots
and even more
the icon files
Finally the iconfiles!
Please consider to try them out, I don't think they are as beautifull as some of the Iphone like icons, like the ones made by bluemetalaxe or Stereo's Leopard, but when you see them glide across the scenery in Androkkid they feel much more integrated into the scenery than the Iphone like icons which leave kind of a square hole in the scenery, however beautiful they are. So what do you have to loose, give 'em a try:
Edit have added new iconfile today 15/12-09 they are now checked out for "white and black" holes and should be okay
!!!!IMPORTANT!!!!

These look nice, thank you very much! Any chance you could add a couple more icons to the package (96x96): SMS, Voicemail, Calender, Missed Calls? Or, just tell me how to make these myself and I'll take a stab at it, there's a few web icons I'd like, too. Thanks again!

I'll gladly tell you how I made these, but first here are some suggestions for icons, but what do you mean by an icon for "missed calls" In Androkkid you get a small red circle with the number of missed calls you have. If you think about something else give me a hint
Hope you like these

What is problematic with winmo is that it doesn't support "white". In an icon with transparancy, pure white will show up like a black hole in the icon so you have to substitute white with another light white-ish color.
Another problem is this: When a graphic program like gimp or photoshop compresses a png to a smaller size. it conserves the smoothness of the png by making semitransparant pixels, these are not supported either and show up like white holes in the icons.
If you just index the png it will avoid the semitransparent pixels, but it will scale down with a very crude and pixelated result.
My way around this is to put the compressed png in a frame filled with a very nondescript greyish color. Then I have to eraze all the grey color and decide pixel by pixel which pixels have enough color to let them remain.
This is why it takes so much time to resize these icons. I have to do this every time. In the icon files I have uploaded you can find both an empty and a filled frame.
If you want to try this for yourself you are very welcome to do so but remember that you have test each icon on your phone to find "holes" before you publish them.
PS I haven't tested the last batch of seven icons yet but I will test them before I publish a zip file with extra icons.
PS Gimp is a fantastic graphic program which you can download for free here
Best of luck
Missed Calls
And here's a missed calls icon in three colors
Icons
These all look great, and wow that was fast! By "missed calls" I should have put "Call History" or "Call Log", but it looks like you got the gist with the icons because they're perfect! I'm probably pushing my luck, but maybe a "Tasks" icon? It's the only request I can think of off the top of my head. I'll check out the app you suggested tonight and see if I can create a few "Web" graphics, thanks again!

These all look great, and wow that was fast! By "missed calls" I should have put "Call History" or "Call Log", but it looks like you got the gist with the icons because they're perfect! I'm probably pushing my luck, but maybe a "Tasks" icon? It's the only request I can think of off the top of my head.

There already is a tasks icon in the icon pack(see thumbnail below), but did you have something else in mind?

reg66, can you change this thread's title to match the androkkid spelling so this thread shows in searches
I have some specific icon requests if possible. I'll also be attempting my own icon pack in the near future.. I'm waiting for this quarter's classes to end first.
SMS like above in the bubble, but instead of a blue bubble, a green one like the MMS.
A voice mail icon
Internet Connection Sharing
Clean Ram
MySoftReset
A lock
3 Icons for the Sound Profile widget
Sims 3 (but I can live without this one) ;x
Thank you so much.. These Icons look great, thats why I hope you can make these so my phone can look even better.
New Theme
Am I the first to produce a new theme for Androkkid?
Let me introduce Obsidian, for those who might prefer a more businesslike theme.
It has been developed on a QVGA screen so I have no idea whether it will work on other screen resolutions.
Just unzip and place the Obsidian folder in the Androkkid Themes folder. It will then be available to select under Settings
The Title buttons (more than shown) can be found in the Obsidian theme folder along with a blank if you wish to make different titles (I can make others if you aren't able to do that). I set the size of the Title buttons to 128 x 32 in Androkkid settings and they have to be positioned, as for any other icon. They can also be used as shortcuts as per normal icons. For example, in my setup, I have the Contact button pointing to my address book.
The 'Lock' Icon on the Home page is not part of the theme but has been designed to match. I have included that icon in the Obsidian theme folder, but none of the other icons.

I'll see how quick I can get around to make these
There already is a cleanram icon (the one with the broom) but if you don't like it I can make another. For SoftReset I use the icon from the icon pack called "exit" (I use "Slide2shutdown" myself) There also is a bluelock (ScreenLock) in the iconpack I have that one in green and red too
I don't know which sound widget you mean, please give me a link or something.
Here are some examples, tell me what you think..
Internet Sharing
Below is a suggestion for Internet Sharing.
With a Globe from Everaldo Coelho's magnificent Crystal themed icons
Edit. Made a new versions of this icon where the arrows stand out more
