It seems I made something that could pass for a theme... I have modded the icons in the TF3D and the icons of the extra tabs, which are comm manager, call history and calendar (with active icon, modded by D-MAN666). These have also been iconized according to the renaissance theme. Furthermore these tabs should also appear when you install this cab, since I put in all the manila files needed for the tabs.
I just came across some great icons, so here is another iphone theme, "Blueprint Icons + Tabs". For those that already downloaded this theme and found they were missing the programmes tab (My bad!). It has now been reuploaded with the tab in it.
I just can't seem to get enough of those Iphone Icons. I present to you "Iphony Icons + Tabs":
By request I created a cab for the theme without the "Call History tab". Do note that this is not a theme, it is simply a modification of the manila file that allows new tabs. It needs to be installed on top of a theme and installing it without it will probably lead to strange behavior of the calendar icon. By yet another request I uploaded the "No extra Tabs" cab. Installation works the same as the above.
Some people have problems uninstalling my themes, therefore I created the Original TF3D cab. I have suggested a couple of times to delete your entire *_manila files library in /Windows to revert back to the original icons. This probobly not the smartest thing to do after all, because when I did it a couple of my manila files when missing. Do not delete your manila files
I created a cab file with a manila (TF3D) upgrade. I don't know if it is the newest one but it is the same as used in the latest ROMeOS and compatible with mun_rus's manila tweaks. This is a real upgrade as opposed the other cab I created. You may acquire it here

Color Theme's
Hey looks like another one popped out, same deal different icons. Here's the "Black Icon Theme"
So with this one has active icons (blue) and and non active ones (gray) hope you like it. As always the active calendar icon is giving me a hard time.
And Also the Sloppy Red:
Elements Theme
This one is special, I wanted to do an elemental theme, but was not satisfied with any of the icons I found, so... I created these myself. I hope you like 'em. I might be doing a complete(r) metalized theme, but for now I have to get back to do some studying (I actually have a life, well sort off..). SCREENS:
I still can't upload my cab to XDA so here's a rapidshare link.
And here's one for the holidays:
Buuf Icon + Tabs
I found the amazing "Buuf"icon set, so kind as I am, I thought i'd share this one too:
These were originally not for public consumption, but here they are. Evergreen Icon Theme (damn that sounds good!):
Tulliana2 Icon Theme:

Yes it did, just download the cab, and it'll all be there
just installed red sloppy. it seems that all the country names in the weather tab is in german. i dun mind it. just for your information. thanx for the great theme!
PS : how do i change the background of all the tabs in tf3d?
Find it here
thanx for editing the theme ... in the sounds tab did you have any problems with the font color?
Mine are white, I don't consider that a problem unless you have a white background. Maybe you could be a little more specific.

mine where dark grey and i have the default black background for the tabs so that annoyed me a bit ..
what about the slider bar did it become transparent or remained as it is?
I have a cab to make the Glider transparant, as you can see from the screen shots all is normal on mine

would you mind updating the screenshots of the red theme so that it includes one with the sound tab?
thanks
Thanx for updating the screenshots
Hi 12aon, firstly great work with the icons they look fab, i downloaded them all to see which would suit my phone best, i've got a few other tweaks already installed such as:
AutomaticWallpaperChanger
GlassClock_v1
NoCurtains
Pamas Transparant Slider
When i install any of your cabs it restarts then boots up and tells me that it is lauching TF3D then the screen comes and goes then a message appears on the top saying "Tap here to launch TouchFLO 3D" but when i do the same thing happens and it eventually returns to the same screen.
I was wondering is you could help me with this as i really wanna use ur Sloppy Red theme cause i'm using the stock vodafone rom and with it being red and now transparent ur icons would look fab, on the same note i dont suppose you know how to change the colour of the clock in TF3D or if it is even possible? I find it quite hard to search for stuff using the search function in the forum as you have to trawl through about 250 posts to not find what ur looking for so instead i've started following links in peoples signatures which brough me to your icon sets, thanks in advance.

Screen Shots
**screens from IOLITE v2 shown!**
(home screen features the background and the clock/plugin item backgrounds included in the "glossier home tab bgs.zip" attached):
things to know... READ! (for v2)
..changes:
.....added support for multiple calendar items (moved clock up, moved date to where the operator text is (when you enable custom name, disable operator name -by m2dc or registry)
.....changed map search graphic (added a little google icon)
.....skinned settings page
.....moved the email values/changed email graphic slightly
.....moved unread icons so they arent covering SMS and MAIL text
.....skinned commmanager (see first post - not included in m2d zip)
(iolite version should work with older m2d versions too.. but i havent tested.. so if you have problems, just use v1 for older versions)
..IF YOU ARE USING GLOSSY BACKGROUND, ALSO USE THE GLOSSY FOCUS.png included in the glossier home tabs zip (copy it to your \windows) this is the background that shows up (or disables the bg from changing) when you hold down too long on sms view etc)
couldnt upload here.. so get IOLITE VERSION 2 here!:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
things to know... READ! (v1)
..you do NOT have to have a different background for the home tab.. if you DO want it, it is included in the "glossier home tab bgs.zip" as "hh_fw_backgroundhome.png" (you can move it wherever, or delete the "home" portion and copy it to your windows directory to use it throughout m2d!)
..the page icons (big icons when running your finger across the bottom) are glossy, just like the earth icon and opera icon you see.. all custom by me!
..this can be and should be used with m2dc
..i recommend changing the font sizes of calendar and missed call buttons to about 20 for missed call and 14/16 for calendar in m2dc
..the weather icons are stardock icons (GREAT! icons), I manually switched out HTC's for stardock's (that took a while..)
couldnt upload here.. so get v1 here!:
http://www.4shared.com/file/82514029/bca57d9b/htctoucher_gloss_m2d.html
Click to expand...

.....if you would prefer glossier home tab clock background and plugin background.. copy the files attached in "glossier home tab bgs.zip" to your windows or into the "htctoucher gloss m2d.zip" windows folder if you are using it with m2dc!.. **the clock and plugin background are included by default in v2 iolite version!**
(i suggest you all do so! -its shown in the preview-)
ALSO
.....if you would prefer to have little icons instead of the text in the slider on the bottom, download the .zip attached "tabicons.zip" and copy all icons to your windows folder on device (overwrite) or to the windows folder in the gloss m2d skin zip if you are using my skin with m2dc (thank fwaits for requesting this as part of his 1 request for being a member of my Golden List!)
.....in my opinion i think it looks good to have text as the inactive tabs, and icons as the active tabs.. if you would like this.. only use the icons in the tabicons.zip that have the words "tabicon" in them!
attached also is the tsk you see in the previews (should be anyway)
......just unzip the tsk file into your storage card or wherever, and load it in the home settings on your device!
......i also suggest installing uitweaker and then going into systweak and import the "final color.sys" file also included blends well with this theme
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
due to lack of space on the first post, thumbcal, taskfacade and fingermenu skins are also attached!
(my taskfacade skin is included as default in the new version of taskfacade! (see here)) - so i guess you wont have to download the theme here anymore
Thumbcal: (skin.htctoucher gloss v2.zip) - place it in your thumbcal folder and select it in settings
FingerMenu: (htctoucher fingermenu gloss skin.cab) - install to device.. you can delete the _vga files if you are using qvga device, or vice versa... just reinstall my cab if you want them back (dont know why you would but just in case)
TaskFacade:
**removed** (my skins are now included default in taskfacade as "Gloss")!
uploaded three more skins for taskfacade, will remove if they also become default
get them here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470096&page=2&post#19
Enjoy!

Black pro theme,nice looking.
Congratulations!
This is really nice! Thank you.
If you have some time left it would be nice if you could do iContact, S2P and the Opal Phone Canvas (Opal Dialer).
That is one slick looking theme.
WOW htctoucher this skin pack is awesome, and looks the best for me! Is there any chance you make skin also for S2P?
Thank you!
Greetings
wow! your works are great, will get s2u2 & pocketcm. thanks
Very nice job. Do you plan (or someone) to make a WVGA version of your skins ? It would be great on Touch HD.
Cool
thanx

bump for this! A WVGA Skin will be great!
Would you also release those great skins for WVGA version, It looks great but not for HD.
thanks for all the great feedback guys!
this is why I love to post themes
as for wvga .. it's hard since I don't have a device with that resolution (anyone willing to donate one )
I may try pocketcm wvga but I don't think I'll be able to do the dialer
I may also do s2u2 and galarm.. maybe throttle.. but no guarantees at this point!
I'll be making a s2p and maybe imageviewer(pcm)
glad you all like the theme!
keep me posted on what you like/don't like or bugs

make what smaller? the wm7 small keyboard is about as small as it can be
not sure which one you are referring to
I should have a skin out this weekend
I am thinking of skinning TouchPal as well
some comments:
- you left a PSD file in the pocketcm theme (which takes 400Kb)
- you should remove the line that aren't setting or precede them with # (I suspect the line with ======= may have some nasty effect).
- the "strange animation" is probably because you set: panel.contactdetail.box
- Also I strongly advice you to use "development mode" and look at log.txt log file, you'll find some errors in your theme: Can't load image: buttoncallx.png, Can't replace setting for: textcontrol.phonecalleditpanel.numberedit.unfocused.background=fill($high9148$), etc...
Lastly, there is a bug in current version of PocketCM (not the next daily build in theory) that make PCM crashed when editing anything, workaround: set textcontrol.*.background=fill(#FFFFFF) (no image, no gradient, no alpha, etc...). Next version will fix this of course.
Nice theme!

***My message to you
Hi there,
To sup up things a little, I've continued working on original Dark Diamond theme created by Lukymat for PocketCM.
I first have arranged things a little for personal use then, discovering PocketCM coding possibilities, I decided to get further in theming and share my work.
With Lukymat's help, I added things here and there, corrected a lot of others things, reworked code and graphics...
Many thanks to Tene, PocketCM developper and Lukymat for helping at this.
I'm releasing a "0.9" version which looks still like a beta to me... This is as a matter of fact because PocketCM is still in developpement with a large room for improvements too.
There's a lot of changes since my previous 0.3 release. I'm keeping the same idea of skinning in HTC TouchFlo's spirit and stay away from bugs as much as I can.
Please be aware that PocketCM is not completely stable in its current version, but this is the only one compatible with this skin.
Fell free to express you support, thanks, suggestions and remarks
Hoping you'll appreciate our work.

"Read me" file
You should not distribute this theme. Please only link to these webspace links.
For any use or modification of this theme, please contact me!
***Installation (in the right order)
If it's not already done, install CAB version of PocketCM 0.29.
Copy "Dark diamond 0.9.zip" directly in PocketCM folder "Program files\PocketCM". Don't unzip it!
Copy fonts in "Windows" and/or "Windows\Fonts" or "Windows\Polices" depending on your ROM language.
Copy language file(s) in PocketCM folder.
Launch PocketCM, load theme via options screen, load language file.
Eventually here, select "Wide resolution" if you have a wide phone.
Restart completely PocketCM.
***Screenshots
(Screenshots are in French, but skin is English-friendly!)
Customizable contact list/search:
Contact details and SMS:
The keyboard is PocketCM Keyboard 0.14 along with the great Nottingham's Black Diamond skin which I like a lot.
Two types for menus:
Options...
Landscape mode:
***Custom theme settings
Since PocketCM 0.29, it is possible to add custom settings to themes.
Useful or not (!), I added these custom settings to Dark Diamond:
-Show/hide default contact picture,
-Show/hide alphabetical index,
-Align contact picture on left or right side of the list,
-Colors schemes (HTC's green by default, blue, red, yellow) -> You want to see a new color scheme -> Ask me...*
-Choice between different style for checkboxes,
-Choice between two styles of menu (a fast basic menu or a HTC "Quick list" style menu),
-Formatting options for contact name in list,
-Formatting options for the second line in list to show either phone number or company or both.
Possibilities are almost inifinite, so if you have a bright idea, please share it with me!
Some custom settings need time or a restart of PocketCM to be applied. List formatting need the entire contact cache to be rebuild, this can take time depending of the number of contacts you have.
***Release notes
This release of the skin is designed only for PocketCM 0.29 and perhaps later versions.
It is not compatible at all with previous versions, because it uses new features.
I designed this release in one unique package, one for all resolutions PocketCM can handle properly and natively: QVGA and VGA, standard and wide.
Wide resolutions are handled in this theme via a custom option.
This relaese is zipped entirely to be fully compatible with PocketCM, as a consequence it's a bit slow at its first launch.
Despite of numbers of optimizations, this release is still "heavy", I'm working at recompressing graphics with not too much alterations.
PocketCM 0.29 should be installed via the CAB version, it should be more stable than the ZIP one.
***Limitations
-Please restart completely PocketCM after having loaded the theme, so that it displayed correctly.
-Please select wide resolution if needed immediately after having loaded the theme (see below).
-PocketCM has to cache the whole skin the first time, so please allow each screen to load and display one time before crying about it is slow. The theme will be slow only for the first time each screen is displayed.
Then it's fluid and responsive.
***A side note for wide resolutions WQVGA and WVGA
To release the skin in one package, I'm dealing with PocketCM limitations, so I added a parameter in the option menu to activate wide resolution WQVGA and WVGA support.
Until this parameter is activated, the skin behaves in standard resolution, and has graphical glitches.
If you have a WVGA or WQVGA phone, this should be the first thing you have to do when you select the theme: check the "Wide resolution" box!
***Fonts
You should copy Helvetica fonts in the "Windows\Fonts" folder before using the skin.
/!\ Eastern Europe/Asia and other languages with special alphabet should uninstall the fonts if characters aren't properly displayed. These fonts support fully Western alphabets only.
***Languages
I include with the skin language files that are made to work with the skin: they add translations to skin parameters, plus some modifications I personally prefer.
Fell free to translate from English or French to your own language! (Apart some changes I made, English is added for this purpose also...)
Enjoy!
Alex, also known as "don_pipo".
Thanks a lot my friend
this guy has a lot of talent !!
try it and you won't be disappointed
Thanks hanackin.
I'd be glad to know how it works on the Blackstone, as I experience lots of crashes with the WVGA emulator. Here or on Actualité Mobile
It behaves fine on the Diamond, though.
Thanks a lot!
Now I am using my favorit Contact manager again ... (was only due to lack of good VGA Skins)
Very good job, my friend.
a couple things, I noticed that the settings.ini file was wrong in that the red.ini settings were set for both red and yellow options.
also I was wondering if the option to have the index on either side of the screen could be an option for the next release?
I love this skin keep up the good work.
Best looking PocketCM theme I've seen! Good work.
Found d solution.
Anth
Looks great, only an IDEA! how about one cab with PocketCm, The Skin, and TF3D Defaulting?
QVGA...?
I know you put QVGA in the zip with everything else, but I'd rather not install a 3mb file, can you make a QVGA file only?
Looks great, but the link is dead. Any mirrors?

Thanks for pointing this! Actually, it was correct in the separate language file "English.lang.ini".
Since it's not a big issue, I reuploaded the file with the correction.

also I was wondering if the option to have the index on either side of the screen could be an option for the next release?
I love this skin keep up the good work.

I'd love to offer this option but PocketCM doesn't allow to put the index on the right side in its current version!
BTW, thanks for your kind words.

Looks great, only an IDEA! how about one cab with PocketCm, The Skin, and TF3D Defaulting?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Final version will be available as one CAB, especially to install fonts along with the skin.
Since not everybody use TouchFLO interface, I won't include defaulting in it.
BTW, I've not found a solution to set PocketCM as default contact manager in TouchFLO, but it has the option to come to front on new SMS and to be default WM contact manager.
If I find a solution for this, I'll certainly will make a configuration file available!

I know you put QVGA in the zip with everything else, but I'd rather not install a 3mb file, can you make a QVGA file only?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'd prefer not, since 3MB does not look like space hungry to me.
Next release will use more compressed images and the whole ZIP file will approximatively weight less than 1.5MB!
If you want to save some space, open the ZIP and erase all files begining with "VGA_, "WVGA_" and if your phone is standard resolution "WQVGA_" aswell.

The link was dead during a couple of minutes, isn't it?
No mirrors allowed, but if you can't reach Mediafire at all, please take a look at your browser/cookies/internet settings.
Maybe I'm slow, but I just can't find where the "options" button is with this skin on my HD. Any help?

That's very simple: keep pressing the phonepad button (fourth bottom button from left) until the menu appears.
You should see this:
It can take a long second first time it is displayed.
This theme is really nice looking! I do have a slight problem though, I am using the theme on my Elfin (QVGA) and I've followed all your steps including copying the font files over to the Windows/Font folder. Unfortunately, all the fonts are still really blurry, any idea what's the cause of this?
wow! it's beautiful. thanks mate...

Blurry?
Sure QVGA looks blurry compared to VGA... Have you activated Cleartype?
Please post a screenshot unless I can't help.
Ok here's my screenshot (cleartype enabled on left, cleartype disabled on right):
I'm not too sure...but something about the theme on QVGA does not look the same as you screenshots in the original post. Could it be because the theme does not downsize well to QVGA resolution? And the fonts look slightly different, did I do something wrong? I just coped the 2 font files over to my Windows/Font folder prior to installing the theme.
Thanks for your help.

Hmmm, yes, fonts are drawn a bit strangely in QVGA. I didn't noticed this because I'm developing the theme in VGA. But these are the good ones.
These are surely VGA fonts!
Maybe another font or another Helvetica version should be used in QVGA...
Also some graphics need to be a bit reworked for QVGA (dot lines for instance). I'll take a look a this when I'll make an update.
As a consequence too, graphics are downscaled versions of the VGA ones, but I think I've achieved pretty good results with graphics at downscaling them, taking in account that I did not redraw or retouch them.
They may look blurry compared to VGA but it's a matter of resolution.
Even if I can't help right now, I want to thank you for reporting this!
Alex.
Edit: Actually, it's "Helvetica LT 35 Thin" which is not suited for QVGA. I'm looking for a replacement font.
For the time being, you can try this:
-Quit PocketCM
-Open the ZIP file (best done via PC)
-Open "settings.ini"
-Replace this line "$font$=Helvetica LT 35 Thin" by this: "$font$=Helvetica LT 55 Roman"
-Save the file inside the ZIP
-Reload PocketCM.
And tell me

INSTALLATION:
unrar the 'Desire Final' folder from the attachment and copy to Program Files\Lakeridge\Wisbar Advance Desktop\Themes.
Open WAD, enter settings menu, change theme (if theme is not listed choose scan for themes) highlight 'Desire Final', menu - set as portrait theme, apply.

12 NOVEMBER 2010
TOTALLY NEW VERSION AVAILABLE
-- Check the video preview at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7WV5PheWX8 --
TO INSTALL
Copy 'Desire 6 page + menus theme' folder to Program Files\Lakeridge\Wisbar Advance Desktop\Themes.
Open WAD, enter settings menu, change theme (if theme is not listed choose scan for themes) highlight 'Desire 6 page + menus theme', menu - set as portrait theme, apply.
Enter WAD settings menu, weather, and set the small/medium/large icon sets to those attached to this post. Leave icon type set to Weatherpanel/Pocket weather.
The wifi toggler, BT toggler Radio on/off (fligt mode) and call history shortcut are included just in case you can't already create shortcuts to these options using standard WAD commands.
The Text Back folder contains shadowing to place behind text under your shortcuts, to look a bit more android-ey.
The Power Control Widget folder contains all the images I made for it, in case you want to change them.
That should be it!!!!
I like this better then the original theme, if you have any questions please let me know and as usual, all feedback is appreciated.
Regards,
wildcardspv
EDIT:
In this version, I disabled 'slide to change pages' in WAD, because when trying to slide up to access the page selection screen, it was really difficult to do so.
I much prefer to have the 'slide to change pages' function active as it makes using the theme see more fluid, so since uploading the theme, I've re-enabled it and set the properties of the taskbar (at the top) to 'switch to page' (page is called 'page select') when the taskbar is tapped.
This is much easier to use and I wish I'd thought of it before uploading the theme!!
If you prefer sliding between pages, try making this change too.

I like WAD very much,but for HD2,A frozen,broken or pink wallpaper often happens! To be or not to be, it's a question,WAD or HD2, it's a question,too!
I didn't use WAD untill see your theme. Great work, I'll try it! Thanka a lot!
Wad haves so many problems and bugs I cant even use this theme.
Sherri1023 - That's a shame, i've honestly never had a problem with WAD
Vagrantman - I hope this works for you. Don't forget to disable touchflo/sense on a htc device if you're using WAD
Thanks this is great! I love the android look, so im a big fan of this! I can tell alot of works been put into this so thanks alot

That looks great actually, i wish it were rendered more properly

@ Lesscro - thanks a lot man, I really appreciate that as I've been a fan of your work for some time

My Win 7 Theme was made for the HD2. I don´t know about the compatibilty to other devices. But i want to post it here after some questions and you can try it. I can´t give support, but there were so many downloads, that other users can help you, if you have some questions. I have no wm device at this time.
I think, many of the files will run also on other devices with resolution 480x800

My Windows7 Theme
with many new icons - also in the most sub menus. Only tested with manila 2012!!!
I changed more than 500 icons, all are coming with transparent background. Some golden icons are implemented. It was the work of two weeks and many hours in the evenings and nights.
Don´t worry...your language won´t change after installation of the theme.
Many of the files you will see first time after using it a while.

Download here as a cab (Many thanks to Steve0007).
More of Steve0007: Here, here and here.
Please, post a feedback for the other users. It´s not much work and the thread is refreshed. Also take a look to the keyboard at the end of this post.
EDIT: One bug is in the theme-please copy the attached 695552fb_manila (compressed or uncompressed) AFTER installing the theme cab with Total Commander to windows of your HD2 and overwrite the existing file, because the integrated is not transparent. Then your 2nd slider looks golden like in the preview. Thanks to hatori for his information.
If you have the problem with 6.5.x, that the slider icons are a little bit to high, look at the posts 208 and 209, there´s a mod from Dioky (many thx to him) and all is presented well.
My used graphical tweaks: Look here

Thank you ...
Hi. Beautiful stuff ;-).
I've installed the theme, comm manager & keyboard on my Touch Pro2 - perfect.
And the sms in conversation mode just blew me away ....
The Droid Sans font complements this theme very well.
Only the dialer is giving me grief - I think 'coz of the BIG difference between the Rhodium & Leo dialers ;-(
Only the numbers show correctly.
Well ....
Good Job Guys & Thanx!
I'm sorry, but the Dialer Skin, Version Europe WM 6.5 ONLY does not work.
I try it in my Topaz, and the screen is fully messed up.
I get back to the Spigot BlackCanvas version working great.
Could this be fixed? Your version is very pretty.
Thanks.
Good job!! Hi, is it useable on the EnergyROM for Samsung Onmia 2?
I cannot give support for these files, you just can try them. I hope someone here, who own a wm6.5 device and has the knowledge,is able to change the necessary files, that the dialer runs also on other devices. I have since 3 month a DHD and cannot work with these things. I offered them here in this section after some questions and i´m pleased, that some of this theme files are running.
