NOTE: I don't plan to make a (W)QVGA version of this skin. My last QVGA (and VGA skin) was a lot of work and I missed the support by the other community member (Thank-You-Posts / PM's / DONATIONS). And I don't have a QVGA-Device anymore which makes testing for me impossible. So don't try to convince me. I will only share this one!
Okay, some infos about the QVGA version.
I had some conversation with drew2000 that he can help me with the smaller version. I tried, he tried, we failed. The main problem is, that a QVGA device is quite to small to have good and high quality graphics. Resizing the button isn't such a thing but the topbar and the font. SO FOR ALL OF YOU:
THERE WILL BE NO QVGA VERSION FROM ME OR DREW2000
BUT
You are allowed to resize it for personal use only
You are not allowed to share it here or elsewhere on the internet or spreading over PM
If you are good with QVGA skinning and you taking the challange to make it for QVGA (not resizing) feel free to PM me.
If you like my hard work, buy me a coffee
CAUTION!
Modifying my skin without my permission isn't allowed!!! Please respect my work and ask!!!

Sorry tcchuin, I lost my files of the black version after a crash and another thing which decided me stop working on the black skin was the unreadability in light surroundings.
Beautifull skin! I have a problem though.. getting a Installation of ....... was unsuccessful. Cootek Touchpal 4.0 installed.

Nice to hear, that a non-tp4-user likes it too
Wow what a fantastic skin, just donated to you Transaction ID: 385580592B208463A.
I toggle between Swype and Touchpal and to date the best Touchpal skin i used was Ezi-input (green) as its such a clean finish, it didnt look like an addon like some others but your's is the same.
It looks like a standard Touchpal skin, not an addon. Very simple and clean finish, great work mate.

Yeah, for sure. It doesn't look like an addon because absolutely every graphic is skinned and sometimes it was really frustrating

Well it shows. I tried to skin it ages ago but my skill level is just a little beneath yours lol. Even i wouldnt use my own skin
I could imagine the frustration of skinning every little thing but the result is well worth it. Ill be using touchpal more often now vs Swype just to use it
sad to hear that no qvga version..thx anyway.

the weather icons are small.. and not like your preview, I have checked the destination folder and it's ok to Smallweathericons VGA

Can you make something to change between home city and visited city?
Also... How is the gesture or button to change to the locked screen?
I have taken a day searching for iphone skin iContact and iDialer, but for VGA devices. Not what I found and I decided to create it myself.
Installation:
For iContact: Copy "iPhone_Like.vga.png" and "iPhone_Like.vga.skn" files on "...\iContact\Themes", then in iContact configuration set skin to "iPhone_Like.vga"
For iDialer: Copy "iphone2.png" on "..\iDialer" and set, on register, the key "skin" to "iphone2" (Register path: "HKCU\Software\Supware.net\iDialer")
PD: The skins are ported from QVGA version, but have good quality (Thanks to mcmike_cz for original QVGA version http://mcmdesign.eu/mobile.html).
PD2: iContact skin is for iContact Burt 6.x (it is not tested for other versions)

Would you be willing to build a diamond based white skin? Lycox built the black one that I use but I would prefer it opposite to the way his is.

Work for VGA devices in progress. Please be patient. Hope to release it next week. I'm a little bit busy atm and most of the icons I have to completely redraw. But 2 versions will come: Light & black

Will iDialer work on a Fuze?
If so, can you provide a bit more explicit installation instructions?
Thanks.

Wrong thread. Please post your question in the releated one. But to answer your question: Yes, iDialer will work on Fuze but maybe the skin not.
any for Touch HD?
thanks
Any way to have the iContact call the HTC Contact editor instead of the WM Contact editor?

MysticGenius... this theme is different from mine, softkeys, toolbar, selectors, scrollbar, nothing from my theme has been used here. Also the link was correct, only the page wasn't .
Anyway, good work, I really like the softkey buttons!

Thanks man. You are indeed correct, every graphic is my own work and different in many respects.
To the poster enquiring about Sense... this is a Windows Mobile theme rather than a HTC one.

I don't own a QVGA device to play with, but if anybody wants to have a crack at porting them perhaps they will be kind enough to post it here.
I've polished up the Themes a bit and updated the installer to an all-in-one cab.
Let me know if you have any problems, i'll do what i can to help.
Thanks for your time!
Those themes looks awesome brother!

If you could ever manage to get it on a WM 6.1 Xperia phone (wvga), you would be my official hero (if you arn't already : P ). Unfortunately, I've been stuck staring at this for far too long... I think I'm going to be sick.

Bit on the Grey side?
I wouldn't swear to it but my Dialers might work on 6.1 phones, even if the themes do not. After all they are only replacing the default WM dialer images and they haven't changed for ages. Of course you wouldn't have options for video calling etc that a proper phone canvas has.
Thanks.
Would you be able to tell me what are the files you need to skin to change the default dialer?

There are 21 of them. Easiest way to see what they are would be to download one of my dialer cabs and extract the files with wince cab manager.
Edit: I remembered all the names enough to be able to copy the files off my phone for you. Gave me something to do while stuck here at work
Here they are, ripped and zipped!
the skins are spectacular! but i have a qvga device... not work on it.... T_T...

Nice original work on the pivot background. I like it!
Good job.
btw what exactly constitutes a 'mac' theme? I've never been near one so i have no idea what colours and styles make up the look. Dare2know, perhaps u could p.m me some links?
OK, I've been in a post-apocalyptic mood lately, and, after the taskbar, I've skinned PhonEx.
In developing the skin, I focused on the dialer, so other areas aren't yet complete, but they'll work for now (my basis was an Android skin I picked up over at 4pda.ru, so the remaining "unskinned" elements are from there, and I take no credit for that).
::Update:: More skinning...
good job, keep it up!
woow... my phone feels like somthing from fallout now. sweet! ^_^'
I find this very cool... downloading...
it seems my prediction about fallout theme failed =/
not because of poor quality (i haven't been able to try it yet) but i couldn't find a way to install it. i put the .ist file under "\Program Files\Iconsoft\Phonex\skins" folder but phonex didn't recognize it.. any idea why?

Umm, it might be that only PhonEx v2.2 recognizes it... What version are you using?
The skinning program I used has an option for creating a skin for either v2.2 or v2... I think I saw skinning programs for earlier versions (~v1) somewhere, I might try using that...

bad thing that my HD2 (wvga) running android in daily basis. which left my TouchPro (VGA). and surely I can't get the skin works on my TP.
but anyway, cool skin bro!
keep up the good work!

Ah, a rusty/post apocalyptic theme suite would be great! But the work involved, maybe one day Right now I wish I could skin HTC Messaging, but I can't yet figure out which files cover what...
Anyways, the skin should work on your TP, I think The skinning program has an option for creating either a (W)QVGA or a (W)VGA skin... So i guess it could work either way, try it...

hey,
do you know how to make s2u2 skins? i mean the only thing i can think of to make this skin feels better is combining it with a rusty s2u2 clock/battery skin.
