I'm looking on how to skin the original keyboard that's part of the OS.This is the one where you can only switch between large or small keys and not a 3rd party keyboard since i already know what to do about resco keyboard and others.

Is there a catch to making a skin for the Wizard WM5 that can use Smartdialing? I for one love the Smartdialing feature and find that it would be a little inconvenient. What I don't like are the buttons along the side of the default skin, that I never use) taking up all that valuable real estate. Is there a skin that will use Smartdialing and get rid of those buttons?

Check out the upgrading forum - there's a patched version of the smartdialing app that works with some skins. Last I looked at them, there was still some minor issues with overlaying text on some buttons, but that may have been resolved.
Hi I have made a fixed version of the black Vista Dial Pad for Smart Dial.
all the nasty "artifacts" are gone looks much better
You need to have eten dialpad installed then just copy these files into your \windows folder on your device.
Some files are in rom so you will need to copy them from your device using resco or total commander.
The main "dial screen" has a small light brown square in the top right corner, This is so that you can see the Headset icon if using a BT headset. If you don't like it I can post the plain version.
Enjoy.
All due credit to original artists I only modified their work.

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?

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!!

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.

Resco Keyboard, Commercial but worth every cent. Skins from the recent competition found here. And some from the XDA forum here.
PocketCM Keyboard is also an option. Donationware and nice & quick, but not quite as polished and flexible as Resco's.
Welcome to the forums.
When I read this, I read "Keyboard which overlays the screen without taking up lots of screen space" by being transparent or something...
That in itself sounds like an awesome idea.. I could see it acting like this:
SIP pops up, screen stays the same size, but the keyboard is transparently shown. If you want it to be less transparent (more opaque) you do some finger slide action to the right, more transparent, slide left... Otherwise, use it just like a normal SIP.
I'm thinking transparency adjustment might be necessary to see the smaller characters in the SIP, like .,;: etc.
Maybe I should suggest this to the Touch Pal folks.

Having recently installed XBmod Manila Rhodium VGA Port (here) i was annoyed that my comm manager skin was still the stock O2 blue skin
I search for ages to try and find someone how had made a black one, the closest i came was this which isnt black and this which had render issues and had the white left buttons, so it might not be perfect but i made one.
If anyone has any suggestions or the original Manila Rhodium VGA background on its own please send it and your suggestions over and i will see what i can do.
Also ive design this so it will just replace your existing skin and not change the existing options on your comm manager page like add the 3g button if you dont already have it.
PS ignore the background looking so crap in the screen shot, this is largely because of soti pocket controllers preview mode being a lower colour base.
