Dialer skin with Smartdialing...

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.

New WM 6.5 Titanium Theme

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.

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.

How bout in WQVGA PLEASE

thanks! If you are interested, I posted yesterday in my icon/wallpaper topic for these themes how you can set S2P player in it directly.
Feel free to use it, because it is working awesome!
What kind of coding do you need more?
Cheers,
Arnold

Thanks ,I'll go have a look

Good to have a VGA wp7 theme!! Thanks..
Edit : Please make the animation a little(x2) faster..

I'll see what I can do.

great theme, few changes i would like to suggest.
1.) add another option at the bottom of the home screen for email.
2.) in the scroll menu have the icons transparent like the main screen in stead of blue.
3.) Get rid of xbox live (its just a theme) just call it games.
4.) on the main screen where the clock is add the weather there
5.) can you let us know what is working and what is not, that way we won't get any surprises and will be able to fix some of the issues
For whoever tries to convert this wvga can you combine two of the pages from the image, the image that has pictues/phone and the other one music + video and games. Like have that as one long page so we scroll down to get the bottom dunno if that is the case with the vga version.

Hey,
I made a mp3 player-ish page in WAD2 which I now use.
It's better than the last music things. Costed me like 2 hours but it works fantastic using S2P player in background. If you want, feel free to use it in your theme.

The first post (#101)
Cheers,

dude amazing just tried it on my omnia and it worked just fine. The only thing it needs to fit wvga is add to more tab at the bottom of the screen and in the sub menus like game bigger font.

1.Thanks to all the replies, I`m good at graphics not coding for WAD 2, feel free to change the theme as you like, I have no problems with that, as long as you post the results here in XDA (see this theme as open source)
Mostly all pages have to get shortcuts to files & folder. Anyone can change the layout as he pleases. Grids also have to be added or altered.
2. Arnold ,once again very nicely done , I'll go and have a look.
The fist S2P script worked great so i'll surely use this again

Beautiful theme!

1.Currently busy with game page & office layout and will post as soon as possible
2.Testing Arnold's music script
3.Replaced game icon ,if someone wants to change clock and weather they are welcome to it.

really nice "deviation/varient"...
WP7 is not out , lot of user are already boring... boring.... So funny...
You got a nice back stylish concept.... kee it up good work...

[SKIN][WVGA] HTCWhite - A finger friendly windowed skin for MortPlayer

Hey all,
I would like to share a skin that I have created for the fantastic music player application MortPlayer. Over the years this forum has been incredibly useful to me and this is my way of saying thank you / giving back to the community
There are some very nice MortPlayer skins out there, however I was unable to find one that worked nicely in windowed mode in WM 6.5.x (WVGA). I like to see the notification bar at the top for messages etc, however every skin I tried had an annoying gap due to the smaller top bar of 6.5.x (start menu at bottom), didn't utilise the screen space or was mis-aligned. I like editing stuff and so I decided to create my own!
It was made in the style of the other 'white' HTC sense applications (hence the skin name), like HTC Calculator, FM Radio, MP3 Trimmer etc. I'm OCD about these sorts of things, I like everything to match. The bottom bar is therefore also visible. When I say created, in fact I mostly just re-used the images of the HTC applications from my \Windows folder, and re-arranged / edited them to make a skin, mostly from MP3 trimmer.
It is designed for WVGA, but I guess it wouldn't be too hard to edit for WQVGA by halving all the dimensions / images. I have since created a version that should work with WVGA WM5/6/6.5 ROMs as well, allowing for the bigger top menu bar. I don't have one of these installed to test it though.
There's some screen shots of the skin on my Touch Pro2 attached below.
Pressing the 'screen' area of the player (where the album art, track name, artist etc. is displayed) takes you to the playlist screen. Pressing the "Music Library" title bar on either screen takes you to the Open dialog, I just named it that because it looks nice You could probably change this in the skin file if you wanted to.
Versions:
HTCWhite.zip - for WM6.5.x,
HTCWhiteWM6.5.zip - for WM5/6/6.5
HTCWhiteUpdated.zip - only use if HTCWhite.zip doesn't display properly for you, i.e. the open screen has the top cut off (WM6.5.x)
Installation:
Simply download one of the attached ZIPs, depending on your ROM (explained above). You can then either just change the extension from .zip to .mpz and copy the file to the MortPlayer installation directory on your phone, or unzip the ZIP and copy the contained .mps skin file and folder. It's probably best not to change any of the file / folder names in either case. Then select it from within MortPlayer and enjoy

Looks great. Thanks!

You're welcome
UPDATE:
Added a version for WM5/6/6.5

Hi jamiemckee,
it looks like the older style of GTX. Fantastic skin. I allways use this player because all the AC-3 issues. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Awesome skin for an excellent player. Thanks mate!

No problem
UDPATE:
After upgrading to a new ROM, for some reason the open dialogue of my skin does not display properly, it cuts off some of the top. I can't for the life of me figure out why, it's the exact same MortPlayer cab I used to install it on my old ROM, and the same version of windows, and the same skin file.
Anyway, if you're also having this strange problem, I've added an updated version to the first post that fixes the issue. If the original one works fine for you, then just ignore me

[July 2011] [Skins] Mort Player (3.31) and TCPMP - WVGA

I posted these skins in the HD2-Forum, but they maybe interesting also for other users, so i post them again here
No support from me, because i have no wm device at this time.
But there were so many downloads, so that other users can help you, if you have questions.
I made some skins for this version of
TCPMP for our HD2.
All tested. All only in portrait mode.
Elegance, Elegance Blue, Elegance Red, WP7 and Black, also some variations,
all in the attached package.
If you want to use them, copy the original files out of programs/TCPMP/:
fond.bmp, boutons.bmp und skin.xml in a folder on your storage card for backup.
Then copy the files in the zip folder (not the folder - only the files) into the program folder and overwrite the original files.
Start TCPMP and have fun.
A comment after testing would be good.
Black Skin (I was a little inspired of the "Devotion Taskbar" of Matt Jackson, which i use on my HD2)
If someone asks, who is the man on the picture...it´s our new german Superstar (like American Idol) Mehrzad Marashi, a really talented singer.
Look at this side and especially hear this (I´m Beggin´) or this song (Unchained Melody).
This is the winners song "Don´t Believe".
Download here and Black here.

Mort Player Skin
This is a variation of the rjblack WVGA Skin for the fantastic MortPlayer.
Bigger Cover, smaller buttons, more functional. Place the file rjblack_WVGA.mpz in the program folder of mort player. Then you can choose the skin from the program menu. The little grafic bug up in the left corner depends to the newer versions of the player. I placed the text a little more right, so this is not really a problem.
The player has alarm function, also EQ, many echoe-effects and much more settings. It has a better sound than the iPhone or the Nitrogen Player here on this board. Also it´s fingerfriendly (swipe up and down = next album/ previous album and swipe left or right previous or next track). It´s including many language versions.
Give it a chance.
