[1.10 update][Andynear style]DIY your own SMS chat UI - Windows Mobile Themes

First of all, I am chinese guy, I am not good at english, so please don't blame me the solecism and such thing like that...lol... but you are welcome to help me about my english...
And also that's why my photo example use chinese... But that shouldn't the problem.
I always don't like the default SMS chat mode, but this mode more useful for most of us to chat, and somehow, I just found this way to make my SMS chat mode became more beautiful, just amend the file "iframe_style.css". I thought this is a better way to make the interface of SMS chat mode more popular.
And now here we are, The andynear simple UI for the SMS chat mode.
And I will keep working on this, to build more beautiful UI...

[Warning]
change your system files maybe will bring some problem, so be safe &backup your old system files.
[System]
wm6.5 wm6.1
[Screen]
QVGA WQVGA VGA(maybe not very perfection) or others
[How to use]
just download the ZIP files and extract the file into you "/windows" and replace the old files. And turn off the tmail.exe in the task manager, and reopen the SMS manager. And it should be working.
Simple 0.1
My first try, simple but quickly to use, just some easy accessorize of the background in the chat interface.

Next mode, and I thought this one is my favor.
I hide the state Icon and also the contact name and the time, but use the different background color for the out and in SMS, make it looks more simple.

But if you thought this kind of hiding is useless, and your want the contact name back, try to use this file replace the old one.

And if you have any question about this, please tell me.

Use Resco Explorer or any other file explorer except the default one to get permission to replace files in windows folder.

Looks very nice. Will give it a try. 谢谢!

You are a hero yxyn ... been waiting for this for so long . Is there any way for you to apply the same sort of changes to the first sms screen where you choose which chat to open? thats all i can find thats missing now . And your English is fine

Omnia 2
Hi, I am using the 0.6v and its very nice on my Omnia 2, but the Sender and main message body seems to have a gap in between. If it is a long message the gap between the sender and message is increased. Also is 1.10v uploaded or 0.6 the latest version?
Thanks

mine doesnt look anything like the pics on the first page...i know its probably cuz i have a black theme but is there any fix to this

contact picture shows?
if the answer is no, you could add..

Amazing concept!!! Unfortunately it doesn't work 100% for me on my VGA 6.5 Touch Pro.
See Here:

i also have a small white line right underneath my name and contacts name.

I have a little square of pixel with different color to the right of the first message bubble
What should I do to fix it?

But the too much long message, you only need to lengthen the "smsbg_in" and the other pic files.

New Dialpad Skins... [UPDATED 6/20/2008]

I downloaded and installed the HTC Touch dialpad, and it worked well but was pretty plain.
I've spent a few hours reworking the graphics it uses and came up with a new skin based on a wallpaper I downloaded from www.pocketpcscreens.com. I've got portrait working well, but haven't done landscape yet...
Here are a couple screenshots. If anyone would like to use it, let me know and I can post links here.
And SmartDial still works!!
{
"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"
}
To install it, you'll need to install the HTC Touch dialpad (Wizard_reTOUCHed_Dialer2.zip), then download the background zip of your choice. Copy all of the image files from the zip into your device's Windows dir, and overwrite any files it prompts about. Soft reset your phone (or stop cprog.exe then reopen the phone) and enjoy!
This has been tested on my T-Mobile Wing w/ WM6. I haven't tested it on any prior versions of WM or other devices, so maybe someone can chime in whether it's OK or not.
If anyone wants the raw png's to make your own, let me know and I can attach them too...
I also attached a corresponding 'Rocks' WM theme and images for ContactsManager and Slide2Unlock for a nice uniform look.
I'm not too sure about the technical aspects of the dialer... You may want to check the thread where the dialpad was released. This is just a graphical update I did for it...
Enjoy,
Ryan
Update - here are a few other's I've come up with recently:

Also, see posts #208 and #209 for a couple new requested ones.

nice post............
nice post ! i have a little problem though....
when i call using the htc-retouched theme, in the call-in-progress screen i get green text instead of white (the call history, mute etc); and it's hard to read...
do you know a solution?

Hmm. Seems there is a problem with a couple of files. I'll upload a corrected version ASAP.

*** UPDATE: added new image file to post #1
Uploaded wallpapers and misc images for Slide2Unlock and ContactManager in post #1.
No screenshot for Slide2Unlock because, well, the device is locked. It's the same wallpaper but not as dark, so it looks nice and vibrant.

Very nice!
Is it possible to get a video call button at the dialpad?

Thanks for the compliment! Unfortunately, at my current "skill" level, no. (notice the 'airquotes' around skill.)
I'm not really up on actual programming, this is simply a graphic overhaul of an existing skin.
If anyone out there can help me modify the actual layout, please feel free to chime in!!
Sorry!
Plus, for reference, the original:
Ryan
<retracted>
@Dax:
I got the email notification of your post, then checked the thread and saw your reason for retracting it.
Just for curiosity, is there something I can spell out better in the (admittedly vague) instructions? I know they probably skip a lot of 'read between the lines' steps, so if there's something that'll make it clearer please let me know!
Is it working OK for you? I don't think I've gotten any feedback yet that anyone else has it working, and I'm curious to know if it does.
Your post did help, because I noticed that the landscape theme background doesn't quite match the landscape dialer background. I've worked hard to keep them all uniform and avoid the wallpaper jumping up and down when you switch screens...
Ryan
That's it. I must be officially dumb; I cannot find any information anywhere about how to apply a separate skin to the Touch dialer.
I was already using the PhoneBoost Lite with the Eten skin. Is this the same thing as the reTouched dialer you linked? (Again, I can't find any information linking the two)
Thanks,
Dax.
Nah, don't feel dumb. No problem at all. They're not related - I got the Touch dialpad from here. I got it simply to get rid of the horrendous T-Mobile dialpad. After I installed it, I wasn't overly impressed by the looks of this one either, and realized that all of the graphic elements were simply .png's in the Windows directory. I used the old dialpad as a reference for size and layout and created a whole new set of graphics to use instead of the default Touch ones. There's no coding or software manipulation at all on my end, it's all strictly graphical.
Hope it helps,
Ryan
hey, just a quick question, what kinda smart dial is there in the touch dialer...is it the one from microsoft that is inbuilt in wm6 or is it the one from HTC...I personally liked the htc one better as it it showed me the number of the contact without having to press a key on the contact...
Thanks NeonStorm,
It's well past midnight here, but I was sure I was losing my mind anyway
thx
@dax: Good night.
@shantz: It's this one ( I think it's the HTC one...):
Ryan
great work! looks really nice!
neonstorm,
Thanks a lot for such a nice dialer! I'm really digging it .
Now, even though I like the grey theme, I'd like to use it with a different background, but no matter which one I pick, the dialer always shows the "Rocks" one on it. Is there a way to keep and use your dialer and its nice transparency with any other background pic?
Thanks again and keep up the good work!

If you post a portrait and landscape wallpaper (240x320 and 320x240) I should be able to do it. I've designed the graphics to make it pretty easy to replace the wallpaper and keep the transparency...
Or are you referring to the default Touch background I showed?

I would like to use it with more than one background, so what I'm looking for is something like a nice "standard" (plain-ish, but nice) background for the dialer, say, in a dark color or something, still keeping the nice transparencies.
Maybe I'm being too picky... but since you have the "skill" (and yes, you do!), I'm sure you can come with a couple of ideas .
The files are on my laptop at work, so I can crank something out tomorrow. in the meantime take a look at pocketpcscreens.com and see if there are any wallpapers you want. Otherwise I'll just use a neutral one...

htctoucher improved Bubble Theme, PCMContact

here is the previous version of this theme (different contact panel images). Check out the previous version to get touchpal skins to PCMKeyboard also.
It is now significantly faster once loaded, and the landscape looks better as well.
!!UPDATE!! - v2.1
...fixed options page (can see text now)
...added contact picture in sms view
...supports v.25!!
Main differences from last version:
.....Main Contact, Contacts with SMS, and Favorite view are simpler, smoother and more appealing I think.
..option to shrink bubble to text (place settings.ini file found in "settingsini for shrink fit.zip" attached in your PocketCM folder by itself)
And here is the preview:
{
"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"
}
(by the way, the blurring of the contacts in the preview kind of ruins the look of that part of the theme, so truthfully it looks even better once you get it on your device)
So.. attached are htctoucher Bubble Theme 2.0.zip and
htctoucher Bubble Theme 2.0 GNA.zip (now in second post)
GNA are Gradient No Arrows from my first theme (which you can find in my signature under compilation) and is the preview on the right, while the regular 2.0 is the SMS view on the left in the preview
I realized I had forgotten to add the keyboard in the preview above.. unzip the contents of the "touchpal bigger light.zip" into your PCMKeyboard folder on your device and select them in Options!
I have updated the keyboard to look like this:
it is the htctoucher bubble touchpal.zip
Enjoy!
be sure to check out my other stuff in my signature!
this post now has my original bubbles as well
GA=Gradient Arrows
GNA=Gradient No Arrows
NGNA=No Gradient No Arrows
NGA=No Gradient Arrows
Enjoy!

I dont really have any way to test VGA, so that would be difficult for me to do... I think some users on PocketCM website have made themes into VGA, maybe you could ask around for someone willing to do this? If you get the settings.ini file done in VGA form, I will redo graphics.

For making it blue instead of gray, just open up all the graphics in the .zip that are grey and color balance them to be blue in photoshop or some program like that... if you need more help dont hesitate to ask
Glad you like the theme!
this is the only vga working theme i've found in pocketcm site.
i hope it can help!

Sure
Download whichever theme (which is a .zip file) you like (basically just choose which SMS bubbles you like) from the first post
then, drag the .zip file you downloaded to the PocketCM Contacts folder on your Device (I am not sure where this is or what it is called on your device)
then in options within PocketCM Contacts - which you will find by holding down the phone button and releasing on the settings cog icon - press the button "Select Theme" and select the name of whichever theme you downloaded and placed in the PocketCM Contacts folder
hope that helps

Sorry to say this but it is not going to be very soon, I wil try to start working on it this weekend, but it could be another 2 weeks before I complete it (the settings file is going to be difficult for me since I dont have a VGA device and have not had a lot of time for themeing lately)
Hope that's not too long to wait!

Could you modify them in order to use with 0.22 version
Have only one problem: editing contacs the font is white and the background too, so is very dificult to see.
Thank you
Nice work..hope you will release the VGA version soon thanks
Followed your installation instructions but it just comes up orange...what am I doing wrong? What version am I meant to be using?
Got it sorted - I'm using a Mac and it auto unzips folders after download, and rezipping them doesn't seem to work. Downloaded from a PC and it worked - thanks for the theme!

[SKIN][OFFLINE] tPRO2 for S2U2 | v2.21

Dear friends and xda-devs,
I’m sad to inform you that http://tpro.station59.com has to be shut down. Since announcing version 2 of my tPRO skin series and launching the website last summer, and after 60,000+ downloads since then alone, this project received nearly no support (thank you Michael and John for your donations). Thus, I can no longer maintain domain, hosting and download bandwidth for this website.
I still plan expanding the skin series with support for new applications and introduce new ui designs, and of course share it with this great community. However, due to my heavy workload at another project of mine I am forced to put this one on hold till the end of the summer.
Thank you all,
dEM

What do you mean by messaging notification? There are already icons for text messages (sms), multimedia messages (mms) and e-mails (icons 2, 3 and 4 on my screenshot). Still can't get this envelope in a baloon thing...
I'll work on messenger and flexmail icons then. And I think I'll redesign the mms one. This is the first one I came up with but don't think it's that indicative.
Hi
I have some issues with this theme.....Please don't take it personally i am telling what i experienced.
1.Numbers are not aligned on white box on wallpaper.
2.Its will not work exactly as the screen shot.
3.In charging mode clock doesn't appear.
I have copied and replaced the "gfx" file in S2U2 Folder under program mes. is this procedure is correct....

Hey there,
Since you obviously see the wallpaper with the flip clock it seems you have copied it right.
1. I guess your time format is set to H:mm without the leading zero - 8:22 instead of 08:22. Use your favorite registry editor and change the key HKCU\Software\A_C\S2U2\TimeFormat key to HH':'mm. This should make sure the time is always four digits and therefore always aligned to the wallpaper. I'll make sure to add a .reg file with all the necessary changes soon.
2. What other differences do you find from the screenshot? If you can provide a screenshot of your device it'll be great.
3. This is my mistake. I never use fullscreen battery hence never worked on that. Note taken.
Nice work. Any chance a clock font that supports the 5:00PM format?
if i just want the notifier icons wich files do i gota copy?

I can extend the flip clock to fit the am/pm but still you have to set time with leading zero to have the same number of digits all the time eg. 05:00PM.

Holy S!it,nice skin,gonna install it asap,thx for the hard work
looking sweet.
Sorry guys,
Current hardcoded layout of S2U2 doesn't allow me to make the flip clock work with fullscreen battery. Hope not a lot of you use it anyway...
Start working on some left over notification icons and am/pm flip clock.
I've changed the MMS icon (icon #4) to baloon with a paper clip similar to how it's shown in TF3D.
Then I created one for Flexmail (icon #6) and used one from Manila for Messenger (icon #7).
Hope you like them. If you do download the attached file and unzip to gfx folder, overwriting the old notice.png.
Still can't figure out what's the second icon for though..
demonizator said:
It may sound stupid but did not find what are these icons for:
I guess the last one is for Windows Live Messenger notifications but I don's use it to test the icon. And have no idea what are the first two for.
If somebody can help me with this I will replace them with TouchFLO-alike icons.

The 2nd icon is for Pocket Informant, not sure about the 1st one. It looks like an email icon, but I'm sure it cant be that easy.
I played around with the flip clock trying to make it work with am/pm time and tried to get it as close as possible to TF3D (screen #1) but it's not that simple. There's no way to get the am/pm symbols closer to the digits. Extending the flip itself is pretty ugly for me (screen #2) so I came up with something like this (screen #3).
If you like it I can export wallpaper fitting the time this way. If you have any other ideas you're more than welcome.
Can I just have this in 12hour format without the AM/PM. Cause really. I don't need to know if it's night or day lol. I can notice that by just looking around.
Dude this is great work, I'm gonna try this out soon, first I need to update my S2U2 because I noticed that its not quite the newest version, another question also does this extra nice looking stuff take any kind of battery toll?
Thanks man, this looks flippin great.

I really like the look of this theme, but is there a way to remove the sidebar?
GREAT WORK
THANKs Chpoubs
THANKs apothehouse
Fantastic ! I love this theme
very nice my friend
Any screenshots please?
can someone post a mirror for this download. i want the black theme but the link is not working right. and does this theme come in english?
Thanks Apothehouse, love the theme, I have been looking for a light theme for awhile.
Couple of points I would love to change, if you could advised me how to:
1. your vista orb gives a list of apps, ok just realize it is picking up the apps from program list I created (so if I arrange my list to have the ones I want to show up then they will be in the list when I press the ORB...cool
2. ok then my next (first since the first was not a question at all , is their a way to cut the list down to 6 apps showing instead of 7 (the last app covers the ORB - see screenshot) unless it is possible to move the whole popup upwards above the SPB3 taskbar? (would be great if the Vista ORB was visable and we could tap on it again to close the menu)
3 (2) is it possible to have the Program tab show when first clicking on programs instead of the SPB Menu tab.
EDIT: actually looking at your screenshots, the popup menu is suppose to popup above the taskbar, my setup seems to be different (and yes I did DL & Install the VGA version onless the DL files were mixed up)
@ wmontae : no mirror please, it's a exclu for mobilecustom

I've heard that you should leave your SpbMobileShellLoc.zip intact - that's where the language settings are.

2. why you don't use the button just next resco file explorer and under games.
You can make a soft reset and lock your device

Thanks for the Reply Apothehouse, but for number 2 I think you might have misunderstood me, I know that button will soft reset but that is not what I meant to close I meant to close your menu popup (so what I mean I click on the Vista Orb icon to open your menu and then click on your Visat Orb again to close it if I decide not to use it) but when you look at me screenshot the last program in the menu covers the Vista Orb.
3. Yes I mean to open the Favorite page.
new version WQVGA and QVGA, bug fixed

Oh sorry, but it's only for 6 shortcuts and not 7. Look my screen 2 post before
And for the point 3
you can edit Menubar.xml in qa_layout.dat and replace :SPBMENU by :LAUNCHER

Sense UI for SMS-Chat 1.25 [ALL RES]

Back with another VITO SMS-Chat skin... Sense UI style this time. WHY? BECAUSE HTC MESSAGES APP SUCKS! There I said it. It's just way too slow and laggy for somebody like me who can do a hundred or more texts a day... Need a speedy app to handle my SMS and good ol VITO works great. Here is just a preview for now. Still need to work on popup notification. Will post tomorrow.
This will work on all resolutions and with the latest version of SMS-Chat ;-)

Looks great, can't wait for the .cab
Off topic, even I'm a heavy messager like you, and with 8000+ messages in the Inbox+Sent Items, Vito SMS is very sluggish and the scrolling is very lumpy and sucky, unlike any other app (like any resco app/ build in wm6.5 scrolling).
Do you experience something similar?
Not at all, but I consider myself a light user. I don't store tons of messages. I advise exporting your messages to a word file and clearing them out once in a while. It's lightning quick for me right now on my Rhodium. Just started using again so there's not a lot of messages though.
its looking good cant wait for release. i too hate the new sms crap lol.
Been using your Diamond skin ;P
I agree SMS-Chat is fantastic, I just wish it could have the option to become the default SMS program.
If you look around you will find hacks to work around making it the default program. Most home programs and contact managers can be modified to open your sms program of choice.
I'm also not convinced that there is no possible way to change the default, since it looks like Sense 2.5 did it. If you use the Leo builds you will find it very hard to pull WinMo SMS back up. It's there but I don't believe there is any way to access it without hacks. So there may be hope.
Well I'm looking forward to the release.
I do believe it is possible to change the default, and I also know there are workarounds by using the registry. However, some programs don't have a registry entry - I couldn't find one for Titanium.
great love vito sms chat
much better than HTC en default sms APP !!!
cant wait
You gonna post this?
Sorry I totally forgot... The chef fixed SMS on my current ROM so I once again am using Manila SMS. I'll put the finishing touches on this and post later today.
Im still holding out for this, looks promising
looking foward to this i already have HTC styled one, but green&white gets kinda boring after time
thanks man
unfinished
if anyone wants to try this and report back any suggestions or bugs go ahead... i didn't completely finish and some of it is still the same as my htc green version but if you're getting impatient then this is for you.
Instructions:
1. Download file to storage
2. Close SMS-Chat
3. Backup everything in SMS-Chat themes folder
4. Unzip the file "gray.bmp" to \Program Files\VITO\SMS-Chat\Themes\bin (it must overwrite current gray.bmp file)
5. Open SMS-Chat and select theme "clear"

Basically he just used the HTC messaging system from Sense2.1 in Sense2.5, not really a fix for the new HTC messaging but a fix for SMS on my device. If you are still interested contact dotcompt.
Also please explain how I should make the send button smaller... Smaller overall or just not as wide or what??

No kidding. But there's no way to edit the skin file to change font color, and it wouldn't be Sense UI if I made the top bar dark.
