Hi all, this is my first attempt at theming for WM smartphone.
I started following the WM7 theme development thread, then I downloaded and installed a theme on my S730; it was quite good, but I didn't feel it to be at home: the default htc theme is grey, so are all apps (communication manager, audio manager...) and splash screens.
So I started modifyng it: the result is what you can see here (theme attacched); I use Facade and Madbeetle Clock Plugin.
Hope someone can enjoy it.
Very nice. I'm glad to see you used Facade.
For those who might be interested, I've found time and will to update the theme, moving down the program launcher bar and adding Fizz Weather.
New plugins needed: Fizz Weather (of course) and orange.
can this be used on an s710 ? and sorry for asking, im quite a noob at this, but how do i install a theme like this ? the zip file does not have a .cab file included
I think there's no problem in using the theme with an S710, but I'm not sure 'cause I've not one; perhaps some problems could arise from the version of Windows Mobile (S730 come shipped with WM6, don't know if you upgraded your device to the same version), but again I don't know (as you can see, I'm not that expert... ).
To install the themes, simply unzip the files in \Application Data\Home; of course you need to install the plugins used:
- Facade
- MadBeetle Clock
- Fizz Weather
- Orange plugin
Here is what I think would be the latest major upgrade to the theme.
I switched from Fizz Weather to Mini Weather (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392267&highlight=miniweather): this is an app which basically timely reads Google Weather xml (or other similar services), then creating a bitmap and updating the background of your smartphone accordingly to weather conditions reported in the xml.
I made my own master backgounds and icons; the result is in the provided jpeg: the large icon in the background and the first of the little ones shows current conditions, while the other 3 icons show forecasts for the next 3 days.
Here are the files needed; the content of Mini_Weather.zip must be copied in the MiniWeather folder created by the program (for info about the program itself please refer to the link provided above).
orange plugin
hi sir,,
thanks for the themes,,
but,where can i get the orange plugins my fone is not an orange branded...
edit:
i got orange plugin already hehe
the picture contact how can i add the picture contact in this theme?
im usung htc s730
Hi Guys!
This is the first time I present a work of mine to this great community!
A few weeks ago I saw some of the GANT Icons and became very fond of them! http://mattahan.deviantart.com/gallery/#Iconsthen I found Buzzards GANT Theme for WA3 http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/for...ad.php?t=12054
After some research I also found a Theme for my Favourite Weatherplugin! http://forums.sbsh.net/index.php?showtopic=18317
So so I began to make some other Skins, fitting to GANT my self, and now I'm presenting my Results:
Homescreen ++
MortPlayer
MortButtons
Sunscape
S2U2
S2P
icontact (under construction)
Great Thanks to eumel, Chi-tai and Mort! All three helped me to get through a lot of problems!
UPDATE! 22.9.2008
Here some Pictures + Theme
My Batterystatus skin:
It needsus Homescreen++ (at least built 342), newest Mortscript, Weatherpanel (e.g. here http://pixel.dnsalias.net/weatherpanel/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=337) Ultimatelaunch,TodayAgenda and Treo Speeddial.
I linked also MVbacklight and WisbarAdvance Profiles!
To get some of the Informations HS++ needs put the ruebyi.mscr form the Scripts folder in your Autostart folder.
Tell me if you have problems! Or if you like it
MortPlayer
I made two skins with very little difference.
It's for QVGA, Protrait Mode, Alarm is supported
is supported
MortButtons:
I made some Skins for Mortbuttons in GANT Style:
3 Items, 4 Items, 5 Items, 6 Items, 8 Items and 12 Items.
Then I changed the *.gif Files, so now all standard Icons, drawn from MortButtons are changed, and I added some useful GANT Icons in *.png
Update 22.9.2008
Hi
I made also Skins for S2U2 and S2P
You only have to copy the gfx folder in the S2... folder and overwrite the existing files!

Nice! I'll download them now!
Looking good, ruebyi! I'm glad you like the WA3 theme. No matter how much I change the look of my PDA, I always end up coming back to my GANT theme. I was actually customizing my Touch Commander layout today with GANT icons. You just gotta love those icons.
BatteryStatus- Skin and MortPlayer-Skins were Updated!
after a long Time I made an Update!
Almost every Skin has changed!
Beautiful Work!

Hi Ruebyi,
This is the BEST skin I ever had!!! Thank you very much, I spent the last week playing with it and translate it to WWE
. I didn't install Mortplayer and UL, I use Wmp and MortButtons instead.
Keep going
THANKS!
I've made a Manila 2D Skin, too! Everytime I try something new it lasts 2 weeks, then I start to skin it in GANT Style
Gant MB skin
Hi Ruebyi
On the MB the contact pics are so small, is there a way to enlarge them or better, make them fit the button?
Thanks
Well, I didn't use Mortbuttons with the last versions...
I didn't want to make them fit to the button, because then you dont't see the text!
But if you want I can make you a skin, where every (!) icon is fitting the Button, so you don't have any text under an icon.

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!:
http://www.4shared.com/file/84532593/8534b623/htctoucher_gloss_m2d_v2_iolite.html
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...
Click to collapse
.....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!

(03/05)New skin available for WMP
Hello guys.A new skin is available for WMP on the first post.What do you think about it?
TVM great work on these skins.
WRT the WMP skin, I'd greatly appreciate a version with a plain black background rather than the carbon.
Also, if there is enough interest, could the album cover images be reduced in size a little in any future version? The current size looses a little in quality, as its dimensions are larger than those used in the embedded Sense 2.5 player.
Much appreciate your work.
lawsong
new version WMP v0.2 available
Hey,a made a little changes:improved no album cover(Big thanks to DINIK)
and reduction of the size of album cover in portrait mode.

Any comments are welcome.
Dinik anastasia Opera9.7 skin
New skin available for Opera 9.7,link in first post.
where is the download link for tcpmp and wm not available?
greetings and does a great job thanks
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.
