Firstable sorry for the delay, Ive been busy doing other things. This HTC dialer skin made from HTC OEM pack you can find it in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344533, its very simple skin inspired by diamond, I know there is to many dialer skins but most of them has bugs or speed dial not working so I went ahead and skinned the HTC OEM dialer like I did with my vista skin, This is a not a program that I created myself, this the original HTC Dialer skinned, I did some registry editing to get the icons show in the progress and also changing the colors of the text and selection, so please dont be asking me question concerning the program itself becaue I did not make it, Im just a skinner, if you have any issue concerning the HTC dialer not working in your device, put your question in the thread mentioned above. anything about the graphics Im ready to answer your questions.
If you like what I do, Click in Donate Button in my signature to buy me a drink, thanx.
Update 7/27/05
- New HTC dialer CAB with END/TALK fixed, now are separate buttons thanx to superflysocal for the heads up. (poorlyduck Diamond Dialer.cab)
- Added Call History Icons thanx to akadonny for the Tip.
- Made new cab for Mogul (Titan users) using BlueFrog Big buttons dialer Template. (poorlyduck Titan Diamond Dialer.cab)
- Made a black Dialer skin, Remember, this skin is from HTC OEM dialer linked above, means if the HTC dilaer works for u, then this will with no problems.
Not To do list:
- 3G Dialer with video call as I dont have a 3G device, I looked in the original graphic files and its totally different, So Im skipping this one, sorry guys.
- VGA Version of this dialer as I dont own VGA device to test.

Im working on HTC dialer skin from HTC OEM pack you can find it in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344533 portrait is done and Im working on landscape right now, its very simple skin inspired by diamond, I know there is to many dialer skins but most of them has bugs or speed dial not working so I went ahead and skinned the HTC OEM dialer like I did with my vista skin, because I always look in every detail that why the color of the text in the image bellow is really bothering me, I tried to edit many registry colors to change the font to Grey but I failed, if anyone have a clue where in the registry I should go to change it would be great.
hopefully tonight it will be posted.

Have you checked all the text color entries in
HKLM -- Security--Phone--Skin
I was able to change mine to all white.
What are your registry entries?

maybe urs is CDMA version and its different, if you can download the HTC oem one and open he registry file, then hopefully you can find out which one I should I change,I did already checked all the registry files and I was able to change the smartdialing colors but not the one shown in the image below. also I just noticed the letters MNE need to be changed to MNO, typing mistake. I appreciate any help.

Yes I have a CDMA version. I found the HTC Dialer ZIP on the link you posted. I s that the one you are using? Or is it another one?
UPDATE
I just checked the registry entries from the HTC Dialer and it's missing a lot of registry entries that would allow you to customize the dialer extensively.
What you could do is use the Mogul Big Button Dialer (CDMA) and just change the registry entries and XML to install the rest of the necessary images to work with GSM / Touch "Vouge" phones too.
Or just copy the registry entries from the Mogul Big Button dialer into the HTC Dialer.
I would do the first suggestion, just because it would allow CDMA users to use your dialer, or you might have to make a separate one if you chose to.
will this contain smart dial,redial and big contact picture

yes I noticed that, but I already add some regitry from cdma version, to be able to change some colors, in progress mode and smartdialing but Im still trying to figure out what registry entry allows the connected text to be changed.

I just tried it on my XV6800 with the "Mogul Big Button Dialer"
I changed two things and it changed the entire Text in the Screen and the digits when you dial.
HKLM -- Security--Phone--Skin--Dialer--(Landscape/Portrait)--Text TextColor=
HKLM --Security--Phone--Skin--Dialer--(Landscape/Portrait)--VerbButton textColor=
I changed mine both to a decimal value of 16777215 "White"
so you can probably do this for both and have the text white like how you intended.
The registry entries are case sentative. Especially between "TextColor" and "textColor"
UPDATE
I posted a sample REG Key from my phone.
It's inside the ZIP.
carlos,
even if the touch stock doesn't have a key that changes that color, if we can find out what the key is, you can just add the key on the touch and it "should" work as well. can you export the keys to a reg file and post it and we will dissect and figure out what key it is.

hi carlos, thank you for your help, I alreadyhad the HKLM -- Security--Phone--Skin--Dialer--(Landscape/Portrait)--Text TextColor= added before so I went ahead and added the one for Verbbutton wich ffffff Hex which is 16777215 Dec but still no luck, I soft reseted and still. maybe this certain color is hard coded in HTC dialer, have you tried it `in HTC dialer OEM or in bluefrog?

I don't use a HTC Dialer. That dialer is meant for GSM / Touch phones.
I use the Mogul Big Button Dialer / Blue Frog Dialer Aka New Touch and it works.
The custom dialers that me and superflysocal created are products of Blue Frog Dialer and this Registry entries work on it.

I have CDMA Sprint as well as you and I own Mogul. The only down part about the blue frog big button is that it doesnt bring the same functions as the actual dialer, for example mute becomes save and also the pressed icons they're all blank, I know Im missing the ## functions and I never tried 911 but Im not worried about that because I carry always flip phone m610 or lg rumor with it, I added all the registry entrys from bluefrog concerning the the textcolor but none worked, thanx for attempting to help out.

No problem, but can't you just add the registry entries from the HTC Dialer to the Flue frog dialer to add the extra images (when the button is pressed)?
And also remove the text entries in the progress page and just make dedicated graphics like the ones that me and superflysocal have on our dialers?
just an idea.

I think Im gonna try that and see if it will work, if it does then its great news, I had it with the images but when iys connected it shows speaker phone, mute, flash, note, contacts, and end but when the call ends the speaker phone changes to call history and flash changes to hold so if I do that the graphics they should change as well but I dont think its possible. I might seem a pain but im very picky about my skinning, I like everything functional and not just decor lol

Well the progress pages seems to be exactly the same as the Touch / HTC Dialer.
So the only changes you will probably make are in the main screen.
I was thinking of doing this in the past, but I got lazy. Especially with other projects and stuff in mind.

well if you are picky about that, then what our skins do won't work for you. The graphics doesn't change even if the functions do. But on my sprint touch stock dialer, the only change is speakerphone to call history, and it is something i can live with...never used that function anyway.
On mogul with big button dialer, there are two thinhs that change ...speaker phone to call history and mute to save.

HKLM - Security -Phone - Skin - Dialer - Portrait - other DWORD bmpNormal and the value is "\Phoneskin\NmBtn0up_Port.png" for number 0 up and another dword bmpPressed the value "\phoneskin\NmBtn0dn_port.png"
because u already have the bluefrog installed can u try that and see if u can get at least one button pressed in the dialer?

yes I do use the call history, sometimes from my dialer, well I dont just release any skin for just releasing something, yeah im very picky. I like to release great quality stuff for this community. my subject was to release this skin with Grey color connected and call ended text but [email protected] stepped up and was willing to help then we brought the bluefrog dialer in the subject and I appreciate that, Ive known bluefrog dialer for a while now but for me its just limited when it comes to skinning and yet very easy, a couple images and here you have new skin which is good, but most of the members here uses GSM phone and skinning the HTC dialer was the way to go for me. I will be releasing one for CDMA but it will be in ppcgeeks where all CDMA users reunited.
thank you for the headsup.

I have edited some existing skins for the new AKU 3.3 V2 ROM (posted as sticky).
To keep the rom thread clean I opened a new one for the dailer skins.
This is for AKU 3.3 (v2) Rom ONLY
Already build:
Eten skin blue
Based on Geo77's Eten Skin:

Classic Grey Skin
Based on Jakaroe808's classic Grey skin (almost completely redrawn)
cab link:
Download old release here
NEW RELEASE:
Classic Grey Light (new release):
- No system fonts on dailer (landscape or portrait)
- So button text is better alligned.
- light footprint: uses build-in-rom files for smartdail, and backgrounds are png in stead of bmp
- Only 306 KB !!
These skins have smartdail capability.
Known Bugs:
The text/numbers are out alignment first time after reset.
When you slide the keyboard open and close it again it will re-align, and it doesn't happen again untill the next reset.
I STILL have no clue what is causing this..
Skin Builder
I have included a "skin cab builder".
AKU33_skinbuilder.zip is the one based on Classic Grey.
AKU33_skinbuilder_eten.zip is the one based on Eten Skin.
Classic-grey-light_skin-builder.zip is the one based on Classic Grey LIGHT
Extract the zip, edit the BMP's in the "windows" folder.
Do not RENAME the windows folder OR it's content!
Double-click on the make-cab.bat, and a cab will be build.
To personalise the cab, edit the dailerskin.inf
Have fun and post the results here
Some added information
Shamelessly copied from Tofclock in the buzzdev.net forum..
This is about the registry settings, so you can modify the inf to your personal needs:
For VerbButton and talkendbutton :
"textFlags" is the text position on button :
dword 0 : top left
dword 1 : top center
dword 2 : top right
dword 4 : middle left
dword 5 : middle center (default value)
dword 6 : middle right
dword 8 : bottom left
dword 9 : bottom center
dword A : bottom right
"textColor" is the text color when button is Normal or Pressed
dword value : BBGGRR (default value is 0 (000000))
where BB , GG , RR is value 0 -> FF
eg. FF0000 -> blue color , 00FF00 -> green color ...
"textDisabledColor" is the text color when button is Disabled
same as above for dword value
"textRCMLStyle" is the text font style on button
dword 0 : small size , normal
dword 1 : medium size , normal
dword 3 : small size , bold (default value)
dword 11 : medium size , bold
dword 20 : very big size , bold
dword 21 : big size , bold
dword 22 : big size , normal
For dialbuttons
minor prefix is for letters
major prefix is for numbers ...
colors are same as above
RCMStyle are same as above
Flags are same as above but letters and numbers are not superposable
Another dword value to set order of dialbutton text :
"textLayoutFlags" :
dword 0 : Numbers , then Letters
dword 1 : Letters , then Numbers
dword 2 : just Numbers (No letter)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
[EDIT] 01.feb.'07:
Found a way to disable Text/numbers in the dailpad:
"MajorFlags"=dword:000f0f0f
"MinorFlags"=dword:000f0f0f
On other buttons, to disable system text you should use:
"TextFlags"=dword:000f0f0f

I have tried bith the blue and grey dailers. The grey dailer doesnt match up properly.

Superom Dialer Skin
Has Anybody Gotten This Skin To Work With Faria's Lates Rom. For Me. It Is One Of The Best Skins Around. Though I'm Currently Using The Gray Skin Spoken Of Here. Thanks For The Work You've Done So Far.
Used the grey skin today... same thing about misalignment.
Just tried blue... it won;t close properly. Tried "close all" from both iLauncher and Oxios also, which both closed the phone screen but seemed to leave an instance in memory. FreeUP RAM from SK Tools seemed to close it, but then on re-opening phone the text is misaligned.
Will keep playing with it.
Oh, also, smart dial on the blue dialer only seemed to work once.
Soft reset, and now the text seems permanently misaligned on blue.

I'm using the blue from the cab files. not from the skin builder.apart from the given open close keyboard . there is nothing wrong with it. it stays aligned and smartdial works all the time. I will try to use the blue from skinbuilder tonight to see if there are other problems. I actually built a new skin last night but the cab wouldn't load. also I noticed that that my new cab was much smaller than the blue one. I must have missed a step somewhere .this leads me to my other problem. all I want to do with the blue skin is to add some words to each key. ie where it says abc2 I want it to say bhai2. where can I change this? thanks
Using the grey
Works very well for me.
The issue with the misalignment is a pain, but I can live with it until someone posts a fix
Maybe this helps?

I am my work now, so I can't give "full service" to you guys right now
However;
Please try the following: go with an registry editor to:
HKLM > security > phone > skin > dailer > Portrait > Dailbutton
add new string: "textFlags" with dword value: "4"
You can do this for Landscape also (There the misalignment is even worse)
This should allign the dailbutton text to Middle left..
You have to reset to make changes visible.
[edit]
It seems "textFlags" doesn't work.
It worked in other versions of the dailer software..

Is this a problem with Smartdial 2.5?
Everything was working fine for me yesterday with the base Faria 3.3 ROM V2 (Great job Faria - Thanks!!!) on my Wizard G3.
I then updated with the patch which provides 2.5 smartdial, and the blue dialler skin.
Immediately saw this problem. Uninstalled the skin, still the same problem with the base skin. First time after soft reset, smart diall works. Just make a call, end it, and the next time you call (I didnt press any X buttons or anything) and no smartdial.
I did a hard reset, which made me lose the 2.5 smartdial ( in addition to the other stuff obviously) and this time I only installed the dialler skin.. and no problem with smartdial.
Seems like there may be a problem with 2.5 smartdial - but since on one else said so... I dunno.
What is your experience guys?
Thank you for the ROM Faria, you rock!
Regards
Manu

I take back what I said
My blue dailer only smartdaills once after reset.
I guess its got to go until its fixed
anyone know how can I get the original one back?
Thanks
Maybe I am doing something wrong..I installed this and it is not working for me!
There are no numbers on the buttons and the alignment is way off. Anyone else having this problem?
CID unlocked G4, running 3.3 (latest)

Yeah, I've been trying these dialer skins after installing the patch, so maybe it's a problem with 2.5.

If you close the dailer with such app it will be forced down and smartdail won't open again..
Once loaded, it should be closed on the old fashoned "windows-style"
(meaning, not realy closing it..)
BTW, I have no way in alligning fonts, textFlags doesn't allow that.
Instead I am busy editing Classic Gray with predrawn numbers/text BUT with smartdail functionality.
It requires redrawing Landscape background and adjusting the registry settings because I added some extra button functionality will be released soon..
I'm looking for larger dialpad buttons? I've seen a lot of crap all over the place which is more of a piece together and there is always SOMEONE posting with bad news... such as "can't uninstall it" or "smart dial doesn't work" etc...
Is there a fully functioning (even if I have to pay money) keypad (dial screen buttons) with big buttons on it?
Thanks in advance!
try netcom smart dialer 2.5 - not free
There is another called reTOUCHed_Dialer2. This has much bigger buttons and easier than the built-in layout.
I am hoping somebody will have one with a different skin, though. The straight black keys are not my thing.

The reTOUCHed Dialer can be "skinned" (and I've seen a few). If you look at Dutty's planned no. 7 rom that dialer will be in it, and it will have blue/green buttons. I think Schaps' has it with purple.
Basically the dialer mainly consists of graphics for the backgrounds and buttons. You just need to edit all of them in an grapics program and you can modify it to how you want it.
Here's the cab for the standard Touch looking one.
I think the letters in the Kaiser Dialer are too small, mainly when I'm driving and serching contacts with the spped dial.
So I've made a new skin for my Kaiser dialer, with biger Numbers & Letters, and I'm sharing it with you guys.
Hope you like it.

If you are using the Original Kaiser Dialer, just install the attached CAB.
If you are using some othe Dialer, DO NOT Install! it will probably mess up your Dialer!
If you dont like it after you have installed, just Uninstall from "Remove Programs" and Soft Reset.
Enjoy!
Thanks. More dialers are definitely needed.
One question for you: is there a way to make the buttons even bigger, like to fill the whole screen? No dialer does that yet. I don't need the call history button. I guess we would have to keep the back button and a window to show the number we're dialing.
New Skin For "Nadavi_and_Dutty_Touch_Dual_Dialer_for_Kaiser- Biger Numbers & Letters
I've also made a new skin with Biger Numbers & Letters for "Nadavi_and_Dutty_Touch_Dual_Dialer_for_Kaiser.cab".
(all credit for this dialer is going to Nadavi & Dutty ).
If you are using "Nadavi_and_Dutty_Touch_Dual_Dialer_for_Kaiser.cab" just install the attached CAB and Soft Reset.
If you are using some othe Dialer, DO NOT Install! it will probably mess up your Dialer!
If you dont like it after you have installed, just Uninstall "Shayd BigNum&LetInTDDialer" from "Remove Programs", Than Uninstall "Nadavi_and_Dutty_Touch_Dual_Dialer_for_Kaiser" and than Install again "Nadavi_and_Dutty_Touch_Dual_Dialer_for_Kaiser.cab" and Soft Reset.
Enjoy!
Great My man!!!
Thanks

Thanks.... ? request...
Could I make a small request - and first - THANKS!.... I know many people like the iPhone Dialer - and I am one of them. The Numbers are just BIG - and there is not much other than NUMBERS and NUMBER DIALED on the screen. I also know the screen is a little larger - but easy to use.
I have not skinned a WM6 dialer and know there is some areas you simply need to work around to preserve on this screen - I think? Is it POSSIBLE... for someone not needing Smart Dialing - Video Dial - or anything other than BIG NUMBERS and the NUMBER at top in a skin?
I would be willing to donate to this cause. I know someone posted a request for this in another threat with a picture of the iPhone actual dialer - but really all it is are the buttons, number being dialed, and the back arrow ...
Since you were diving into these I was wondering if it would be worthy to make a request?
Thanks again - really do appreciate it.
Well done suites my eyes now
Any way to make it with capital letters? I feel like that might look better...? Or maybe a different font?

Hi,
I can try to do that, but I think it is much more difficult than just skining a dialer like I did here

I think so to. it was just an experiment, and it came out quite good for me, but I think I can improve that. I will work on it.

Nice work again
In trying to see differences between this dialer and the previous, I see two lines with a phone icon to the left and the letteres m and w to the right. What are they for?
Hello everybody,
since I installed this CAB, the "hide keypad" function had disappeared, and the menu (this on the bottom right corner) had some missing stuffs...
Why ?
I use the Schap's v4.31 fr
Thanks a lot !
I don't see a problem with the size of the fonts / numbers.
I would love to see a dialer though where the buttons take up the whole screen. All these dialers are for midget fingers
I'm with CoolVariable. Will someone in this forum eventually develop a BIG dial pad -- fully functional (the iPhone ones are not) for the Kaiser? The best one, I think, is Nadavi's and Dutty's, but the numbers are awfully small, and there is no option to remove the video calling for those of us who don't use it.
Modern font, big letters

Thanks for this! I like this font much better than your first one - this has a more modern appearance IMO - could you do this one in non-caps also?
Yes, I'm with you guys.
Can anyone create a big button dialer that can be user customized to a degree? I also would like to loose the video call button but replace it with the Shortcuts button.
Free up screen space for it by loosing the micro photos of people that I already know. Loose the two lines that show last call numbers (ps. m = mobile, w = work). I also don’t need non responsive smart dials. Let’s use the screen space for big buttons, good old fashioned short cut button, and lets add some ability to user customize the buttons ie bring buttons in and out depending on user choice.
Having said this, the new dialers ARE much better on the eye than the HTC standard.
Thanks!!
Why is it that everytime I've downloaded and installed these new dialers I am forced to hard reset my device. Everytime I download and install the dialers it for some odd reason activates my Roaming triangle and it turns on.
Hebrew support?
Shay, what about Hebrew support?
Thanks.
I'm having a hard time removing these dialers completely. They seem to be leaving things behind.
I've tried SKTools to completely uninstall but that is failing as well.
Any tips short of a hard reset (gasp)?
Gators
Incase anyone is interested I got bored yesterday.
I have no idea how to make a cab file or anything, In fact I just happen to stumble on the png files and made these to replace them.

GO HERE FOR A THEME THAT MATCHES THIS FOR rltoday, mortbuttons, s2u2 and PocketCM!!: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2325150#post2325150
Here you will also find a keyboard skin I made that goes along nicely with this theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2325160#post2325160
I was playing around with my Pidgin/Manila theme for PocketCM (found here) and wasnt satisfied, so I decided to upgrade it a bit..
I am starting a new thread to make it easier and simpler to find, since the preview image is so large on the post of the first version it would get too confusing..
anyway.. here is what I came up with!
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
...preview does not include Segoe UI as font (it is a preview of v23 version, I have not updated it to show v25.. improvements are listed below, but Segoe UI looks much cleaner, very crisp...
As you can see when comparing this version to the last the contact page is cleaner, there are alphabetical separators and the topbar has been changed.
UPDATED FOR V.24 of POCKETCM
I have also attached Segoe UI font... truly makes this theme look much better (if you do not install the font, I am not sure how it will look, some of the placement of text may be slightly off)
for this theme you really only need segoeui (regular) and segoeuib (bold).. just place them in your \windows\fonts folder on your device!
..the font segoeuiz=Segoe UI Bold and Italic..
improvements for v.24 version:
..customized for Segoe UI font (works even if you dont have Segoe... but Segoe makes it look much better)
..made it compatible with v24 contacts (mostly image support)
..customized background color for new flip animation
..few other slight tweaks
Upon request here is a version with numbers hidden in contact view (the zip called no numbers) - when contact is highlighted the number will be there, but it is hidden when scrolling through
smspicture uploaded... just as it says.. added picture to sms view, also contact phone number to sms view and mirror to contact picture in contact detail view.
-----------------
UPDATE v25+
...new options page
...new feedback image
...sms progress bar added
...sms picture added
...new contact edit page
...new pressed image (contact list)
...works with v25 and up
...scrollbar everywhere but contactlist (gets in the way of contact pressed image in contact view)
...no screenshots.. but it looks better and now works with v25 and up
3 versions
...sms pic, numbers in contact list (htctoucher pidgin manila v25+.zip)
...no numbers in contact view (htctoucher pidgin manila v25+ no numbers.zip)
...no pic in sms view (htctoucher pidgin manila v25+ no sms pic.zip)
Enjoy!

hello,
Great theme.
But there is one thing that bothers me (that was the same with the previous version): when the dialpad is on and when I clic on one of the 3 buttons (#, 0 or C) it activates one of the buttons of the bottom line.
Sorry if it's not clear, but english is not my native language.
I understand..
the problem is that in order to be able to have the icons increase in size when pressed on, I have to make its pressable box be larger than its initial size. This means that the pressable box of the bottom row of icons is set under the three bottom-most buttons of the phonepad.
It shouldnt give you any problems though. All that happens is some of the bottomrow buttons will increase when you press #, 0 or C, but they will not be activated. At least not on my device.
Unless I change how the bottom row of icons look when pressed, I cannot really fix this. It is more of a graphical problem than funtional though so it is not too big of a problem. Also, if you press the very center of the #,0,C keys, this wont happen.
glad you like the theme!
thanks
htctoucher
great update. thank you!
thanks for your reply, and never mind if you cannot fix this. I'll keep it as it is.
very nice!~~
It's so much faster. I like it! I have a problem with this version though. the program closes itself and reopens every time I try to send a text message. It actually doesn't send anything. I'll press and hold for a few seconds and still nothing. Any ideas?

I have not experienced this. How are you trying to send SMS? Are you in the SMS threaded view and then just pressing the "SEND" button?
I know that if you go into options and have "use old app for sending SMS" activated then when you are in the contact detail of someone and press "SMS AND HISTORY" then it will close out of PocketCM temporarily so you can write a message with the default wm text messaging.
Is this the problem you are having?
Hi, thanks for the quick reply. I do not have "use old app for sending SMS" activated and I am trying to send the message through the SMS threaded view. I checked with my girlfriend and she actually received six messages (one for each time I tried to send the message), but the message I sent her is actually not showing in the threaded view so I assumed it was never sent.

yeah I actually noticed similar problems when sending messages... it seems to be this version of pocketcm..
I found that if I hold the send button once for 250ms (a short period) with the keyboard up it will minimize the keyboard and appear to have done nothing. At this point I found if I waited instead of continuing to press the send button that the sent SMS would then pop into the threaded view.
basically I think the only solution seems to just be to wait instead of continuing to press the send button.. or just press it once and then go back to contact view.
hope that helps
htctoucher
Ok. Thank you
Is it possible to change the contact list so that it goes first name, last name instead of how it is now?
Thanks,
ill
PocketCM uses the "File as" information from the contacts data. So if you want "First name, Last name", you have to change it there...
Afair, it's only editable since WM6 (and not in PCM), so you might have to do it in Outlook on your desktop PC.
thank you i changed the file as format and it worked perfect.
ill
Really nice skin. I do though have some problems. I use it on my HTC Diamond and have just installed the PocketCM software and followed your guide. The problem is that the skin doesnt fit the screen. E.g. the white boxes around the text is located outside the text so it doesnt fit.
Have I done something wrong?

nope, you havent done anything wrong..
htc diamond I believe is a VGA screen, which means it is twice the size in pixels from QVGA.. this theme is made for a QVGA screen.
I dont have a VGA screen to test on, so I cant really make this theme in VGA.. if someone with a VGA screen could create the settings.ini file needed, I could potentially redo the graphics!
hi mate
thanks for a great skin
i have one question
is it possible to scroll for first letters also with right part of the screen?
i mean, i have to use left finger to click on 'A' for example and drag to 'T', i just can't do this with right thumb
Landscape Mode
my favorite skin for pocketcm...however in landscape mode there is a black square on the bottom bar between the sms and option button. Doesn't really bother me but would be nice if it was fixed. Been trying to find a fix through all the threads but unable to. I am using a mogul on the new sprint rom and pocketcm 0.24. Also if you would create two versions...one with the numbers under the names on the contact page and one without any numbers just names on the contact page. I think the numbers clutter the page and cause hurting to the eyes. However great page and i will make sure to donate for further developments.
glad to hear you like the theme!
in regards to having the ability to jump letters of names on the right of the screen as well, that should already be possible.. not sure why that isn't working for you.
and the landscape issue annoys me as well.. it seems to be a problem with the program.. I am still trying to find a fix and if I do will be releasing a new version to correct it.
and yeah, I will whip up a version with no second line under contact names
thanks for your feedback!
htctoucher
jumping letter
Sorry for the miscommunication...I am able to scroll through the contact letters by scrolling the right side of the screen. That function DOES work. But can't wait to get this theme flawless. Thanks to htctoucher and all of the individual developers. You guys put the wow factor into pocketpc's that microsoft always avoids.
I once saw a thread here, and I think it used the windows mobile slide to answer and slide to ignore.
The answer slider was green
The ignore slider was red, and u slide it horizontally.
If anyone knows anything about this, please let me know.
I find X2 dialer way too laggy (I am using stock X2), and hard to find contacts. Even the the default WM skin is faster and better.
Anyway, it was a cab file that enabled that skin, and it also changed the keypad a bit better than WM dialer.
Thanks!

It's not from WM built-in but HTC. Search for blackstone, Topaz, or Rhodium dialer.

I just heard from someone that WM 6.5 has slide to answer, but hwo do I activate it?
To be honest, you cannot go wrong with this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442154&highlight=dialer
I know you said there is a function in WM 6.5 which has the same thing...but I think this one is the best
The only thing I would love to see changed (and I know exists just can't find it), is the HTC dialer but when during a call has two buttons; a big button for key pad and a big button for end call...but still it's all good and am happy with this one
