[WVGA][THEME] GekoTask Theme (matching GTX Sense 2.5 style) - Windows Mobile Themes

Hello all,
as there are only few touch based apps for managing tasks (office tasks) in the windows mobile world i tested the few i got to know and ended up using GekoTask for now.
GekoTask does everything i want in an easy enough way. The only down side is, that the available skins do not fit my needs.
As an user of an HTC Touch HD i started to love the EnergyRom with the build in GTX Theme. And now as the GTX Theme development will be continued i closly follow their progess.
GTX Sense 2.5 Theme
To cut a long story short, i wanted my GekoTask to fit theses style so i made a Theme on my own.
I used many of the excellent graphic works from the members of GTX Team. So if anyone has a problem with my work please just pm me.
To install just put the theme in the skin folder of the GekoTask app folder. Select the skin via options and restart GekoTask.
If there are any bugs or problem please report them in this thread i will fix them as soon as possible.
Have fun!
Here are some screens of the theme and below the download link:

very nice skin, I like the background. Very artistic and neat.
I don't use geckotask, and my device is TP, which is VGA, if it were a VGA theme, I would like to use it
Nice job mate,,,

Yes, now it is reached. The GTX mania is running around. We have to warn the people outside XDA *lol

if there's more interest in a VGA version i might find the time to provide one

[THE][WM6.5][All Res][Updated] GlossBlack by m.carroll

FOR WM6.5 ONLY!!!!
GlossBlack
by: m.carroll
A glossy version of PureBlack2 found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3651697
I haven't yet decided if it's too glossy for my likings, but hope you all enjoy.
FULLY WORKING for BOTH VGA and QVGA!!!!
Skin for Windows Mobile (Phone) 6.5, cab's fully uninstallable. Works with VGA/WVGA and QVGA/WQVGA, just download the correct resolution (without the W). Enjoy.
Changelog:
May 9, 2009 - Optical illusion trickery fixed in both versions. Please re-download!
May 8, 2009 - Added QVGA Release
May 7, 2009 - Initial VGA Release
This is superb, I've been waiting for this.... really!
Looks good. Thanks
Edit After installing this nothing happens? I soft reseted and it's still the same?
CraZyLiLbOy: You have to select the theme from Start->Settngs->Today and click ok.
do u ever plan on changin the scroller to a shaded one or perhaps the clock icon, those are the only things i wish i could change in you theme
awesome looking skin!
I am eagerly awaiting the qvga version.
Beautiful skin, which I will definitely use when you create the QVGA version.
Well done!
I haven't done much in terms of Titanium skinning, so I may change the clock and other icons in the near future, although I've been concentrating on only just the WM6.5 OS theming. The main purpose of my two skins so far have been to have a very Windows Mobile 6.5 feel to them not altering it too much, so in future themes I might do more with the scrollbar and other elements, but for now I'm just trying to do a bit without overpowering the MS feel.
I can do colored versions of this one if anyone's interested, just drop a reply with some color ideas...
I unfortunately don't have a QVGA device to test on (poor dead Wizard), and there are no Emulators available yet (will make things TONS easier), and PureBlack (my other theme) had some issues on QVGA so I need to sort them out before I port this one.
Im currently running pureBlack on my Hermes (QVGA) and I Haven't found any flaws yet
hmmm sweeetttt,
going to test it when AHEN 6d is installed in a few minutes ^^
thanks! ^^
Looks nice mate, thank you
Wow That is slickk!! I have the QVGA installed on my i910 of the flat black, but would love to try out the gloss black when it is available! Any ETA on when Gloss balck will be available for the QVGA for the i910??
I really like this. The glossy bars really stand out. Nice work man.
The much-requested, highly anticipated (W)QVGA version is now available. First post updated.
Time for some zzz's. I'm sure my body really wishes I didn't love this so much...
AWESOME !
Very nice work, that's perfect for me,
Thanx
Nice
One problem on QWVGA, the list item (as seen in the today plugin selection page) is a bit small in height. The checkboxes overflow a bit.
Thanks.
Really good theme Awesome work buddy, this actually looks good even on my QVGA screen, second after greenhtc theme. Kudos to you. Just if there was some transparency on the home screen, it would look more 6.5 stylish. But its fine even now also.

Could you take a screenshot of this and also one of the same screen with the Classic Blue theme? (CapSure is a great program for taking screenshots on your phone, or MyMobiler works with your phone connected to a computer)
krazy_about_technology: actually there is transparency on the homescreen, its just tough to see because the wallpaper is so dark. If you change to a different wallpaper, you'll see that the glossy top and bottom bars become transparent and let the background through. One of my next ideas is to see how far we can push the whole transparency thing, just about every ui element in these themes supports true per-pixel png alpha transparency, and there are a lot of possibilities.
it's amazing!!
Many thanks for the QVGA resolution!
Amazing skin, looks very nice
This will be my CHome skin for a loong loong time

Thanks to all whose graphics I used in my theme: Lycox, dena994, DarkNinja, younxta.
Theme in the development process. I will make changes to my theme until until it becomes perfect. all bugs will eventually be corrected. I plan to add many more widgets.
Please post information about theme bugs with the screenshots. they will be corrected.
08.08.10 QVGA-WQVGA v.1.2
- bug fix
- changed weather icons
- added layouts variants of buttons destination
Portrait Only
- INSTALL IT TO DEVICE MEMORY
- install on a clean Shell
- "problems are all related to a non ENGLISH rom version.
Just duplicate the SPB Mobile shell folder under the Localized program files folder to a "Program Files" folder on the root of device.
For example my "Program Files" is "Programas" (Portuguese) so i made a folder named "Program Files" on the root and copied the "SPB Mobile shell folder" into there after a reboot everything works. Of course you'll get extra 11,25MB ocupied but until no other solution it works very well". Thanks to jpl69

Hello. I regret that I am doing a theme in the rare free moment from work. so progress is slow. as I said, the resolution of my device WQVGA. under other screen resolutions have to do a theme blindly. Unfortunately, users despite my request not help me edit bugs with the help of screenshots. Request to all users: Be patient. Right now I have no time to physically complete the theme. I am very busy at work. I need to earn money for a living. I promise to lay out the weekend updating my theme. Thank you all for your support. Tomorrow I will update links.

thanks, DOC3000
i love spb ms

This is looking amazing! Great work, looking forward to your release!
This is the best of both worlds. I only wish Weather Animation in MS3.5.3 was easier.
Can't wait to test it!!
Looks awaysome, can't wait till i get my hand on it
Magical
I just replaced Energy GTX ROM with Energy titanium version plus spb mobile as these ROMs are heavy on my HD. Really felt bad doing that as I just adore the GTX theme. But seems you are going to fullfill the dream again..I think not only us but the SPB team will adore your commendable job. Waiting eagerly for the theme...
Looks really awesome, can't wait to see a qvga version of this
Sorry but the black analog clock you are using is mine......It would be a good thing if you had asked me if you could include it in the theme.....or include me in the project....
Very good, the very attractive design, anticipated that your share ~ thanks ~
AT LAST !!! soon is now in our reach !
yeaaaahhhhhhhhhhh very good news
looking forward to it.,.....nice and clean theme

shorty083
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!
THERE WILL BE NO QVGA VERSION
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!!!​
Very beautiful work, thanks!
Awesome job Lycox as usual
Top notch as always! The GTX guys are going to be loving this for sure.......cheers my friend.

Looks awsome Lycox, how did you create the bar at the bottom with the return and shift keys? It was the main thing that bugged my about touchpal was that i couldnt hit return... I didnt think the layout was editable!
Great job anyway, think I prefer it over my own skin
edit: spacebar/keys are in different places also, how do you change the layout like that? gunna have to have a crack at it myself

Skinning the bottom bar is easy. You just need to edit "tl_itms.png" "lang.png" and "tl_bk.png" to your own needs, but one note: Mostly it's a bit tricky to skin them because of some stretching issues of TP4. It took me a while to skin them.
I think, I couldn't follow you? Which are the probs with skinning the spacebar/keys???
Looks awesome as usual . And I can confirm that the CAB works flawlessly
Hmmm, I'm not sure I understand...
your layout seems different to mine, but we are both using TP4. For example, the spacebar on my skin is in the center, wheras yours is on the left. I also do not have that bottom function bar.
Are we using slightly different versions, it does not make sense to me that you can change the layout simply by editing png files? What am i missing?

Ahhhhh, I understand. That's very easy. You can move the spacebar by swiping it from left to right and vice versa. The same with the backbutton.
The toolbar you can activate, when you go to options -> page 3 -> Enable Toolbox.
Quite simple he
Edit:
Just one more hint: When the toolbar isn't active, you can have "return" too. Just swipe down the backbutton.
Now thats what am talking about.. Clean and pure GTX. Great work lycox, you always deliver.
teach me not to explore a skin properly, can't believe I missed that, probably also means my skin Is missing those bits, although I think I skinned all the pngs tho so maybe I skinned It by accident.

[ArkSwitch] HTC Notification-LIKE Theme [UPDATE 07/16/10 BUGFIX]

Here's my theme for ArkSwitch. I wanted it to look much like HTC's notification enhancement since I use them side-by-side.
Click image to view full resolution
Instructions:
1. Make sure you have ArkSwitch v1.14 installed.
2. [Update 07/02/2010: QVGA tested and working, I will assume it works in VGA and WQVGA as well]Make sure your resolution is WVGA; I am not supporting other resolutions. But others may feel free to port it.
3. Download attached ZIP file.
4. Quit ArkSwitch if it is running.
5. Extract ZIP contents to ArkSwitch "Theme" folder.
6. Start up ArkSwitch. Done!
Updates:
07/17/10 - crash bug fixed on HD2 (final?)
*Special thanks to toadlife for the original X-button PNG's*
wow!! great one!!! will you make it for qvga resolution???
As I said in my post I will not support other resolutions because I only have WVGA devices now. But others are free to port it.
Absolutely Great Mate!!! That was exactly what i was looking for. ArkSwitch optically never really fitted into Sense but now... Im happy
EDIT: Hmm damn ArkSwitch constantly Crashes when using your theme. Im running it with RTTs ROM on HD2 (Win 6.5.3 Manila 2013) Any suggestions...?
Error see pics
After crash, the Device runs extremely slow and needs to be Softreseted.
fantastic theme, thanks!
OMFG, this is starting to irritating me xD Next nice theme that fits me, I look at the author and ONCE AGAIN it's ShowTime7 X_X
Congratulations, good work
Any help please...?
Very nice! I'll cook these in my ROMs from now on!
ill make the QVGA version shall upload in a few
showtime7, it turns out your skin does work well on QVGA too. This is confirmed and working. here are the screens
thanks for this mate

I am aware of this... But I didn't think it was related to my theme. I had to remove ArkSwitch due to the crashing... If you are certain that it's only after my theme is applied that it crashes, then I will look into my XML and see if I made an error.
NRGZ, please don't cook this yet until we figure this out! At least not in 6.5 HD2 roms.
Unfortunately I am not a developer so if it's not related to my theme it's not something I can fix. I didn't do much but edit the colors and images in the XML file.

Thanks for testing, I will update my post.
Anybody else experiencing the crash? From the ArkSwitch changelog the last 2 updates to the app were crash fixes so this leads me to believe it's not my theme causing it.
Seems to work fine with mine.
Hey Showtime, I sent you a pm with a link. Hope you like it.
Finally a simple solid theme for arkswitch. I've been using it on:
Energy.RHODCDMA.23569.Sense2.5.Cookie.Jun.22
... since you released it with no crashes or any issues other than minor scrolling lag in the process list - but that happens with the other sub par arkswitch themes I've used in the past. I'm chalking that up to the display API used in the app.
Kudos for working on this. Bonus if NRZ bakes it in future ROMs.

I am thinking of changing everything to GIF and maybe this will boost performance... Will need to change the one with transparency though since only PNG can offer transparency. Hopefully the app accepts GIF format images.
great, a whole lot better now (works fine with the Energy ROM's)
Great minds think alike!
Nice! Wish I'd seen that before hand could have saved myself some time lol.
cool theme, matches perfectly to my current ROM and other themes.
Thanx a lot.

[Skin] PhonEx Post-apocalypse WVGA :: v1.2 added ::

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...

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...
