Very nice skins indeed! I like it!!
For the contacts and MRU, I have also done a 3x5 instead of 4x4. Though it is 1 less cell (15 vs 16) the layout for the 3x5 is very much cleaner.
Check this out.
From your skin I see that you are also using SPB Phone Suite. I believe someone had done up a Diamond skin (qVGA though) in the SPB2.1 theme thread. You may want to check that out.
As to your question on the time color, perhaps you can pm Greatbal? He is the guru in SPB MS2.1 theme and skin.
Great job!!

very good job.. works greate in real vga

grat work,expect i dont have a sqare display
no5 looks a bit photoshopy...like the window when you run newer versions of photoshop,but it looks good
are you placing backgrounds in a folder or do you use an app to change them
if just placing would it be more simple to post only backgrounds instead of whole themes

there is nobody that can do a skin like that in real vga for the samsung?
i try to change the backgrond but i can't do
http://www.actualitemobile.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1654.0;attach=6970

Michelle - well done!!
another skinner for i780! I agree that g00ndu has started it and I am very greatful for his great work. In addition, since he/she is very helpful, other skinners (like yourself and bobsbbq) have started making other skins.
I believe that there is also another skinner here on the forum (although he made skins in native mode (320x320 and without RealVGA)) who deserves respect.
Respect to you all guys/girls.
rgds,

His name is Jolpiej, or something like that. He was skinning for the 240 x 240 Treo screen, which can be used in the i780 without RealVGA (remember 96dpi vs 128 dpi).
Go such for the SPB MS 2.1 Skin thread, and search for square theme, you will be able to find him.
Unfortunately, believe he is busy nowadays, and dun see him much on line.
Hope that helps.

i try to do that
i change only the Separator2 that is the background correct?
but i don't know why it doesn't works..
i have to change other files?

I won''t go into details anymore, but it's not so easy to change qvga theme into a square theme, with or without realvga.
You will need to edit the xml files, which is found in the qa_layout.dat.
You will also need to do some photoshop (example, changing the icons, background from 240 px to 320 px.
The difficult part is where to begin. I remembered how I did it. First off, get a theme and run it. Check where the out of positions are and also take note of the different icons. Also, study the xml structure, it contains a lot of pixel coordinates. I did not change the structure of the xml files, only the coordinates in the beginning. Only when I am familiar with the structure that I begin to change some of the settings.
Also start with the easiest xml file to edit, to gain confidence. I believe it should be the Home.xml.
Try it, as a saying say " Rome wasn't build in a single day". Be prepared to soft reset many times, I believe my was about more than 200 times before I finally managed to do it.

[THEME] Stickerface 2.0 for VITO Winterface + (JUST ADDED) VITO Weather

Props to DAVID LANHAM! He apparently designed these icons that I lifted from other various themes from iPhones to Desktops. Here is the new and final comprehensive version of Stickerface.
First person to say Winterface sucks, still ugly, etc. loses three internets. If you don't like it, don't buy it.
File in zip title "wicons_x2" is placed in Program Files/Weather/skins/bin
In addition, place the file "weather_icons" in BOTH the Weather AND Winterface skins/bin folders.
Zip file with everything is in Post #6.

haha lol personally i think it looks awsome, havnt got around to trying though
quite good icons you got their too, though personally i think i would stay with the black and white ones which seems to be standard

And personally, I'd be inclined to agree with you since the default icons also match nicely if you're using SMS-Chat, FunContact, Weather, Eye Photo and ZoomBoard. VITO does a really nice job of making all of their products uniform.
That said, it's a rather lazy choice of colors. I would love it if they would release new versions of Winterface, Weather and EyePhoto to go with the alternate skins of SMS-Chat, FunContact and ZoomBoard, which is much more cheerful.

Icons for the free VITO Weather application now posted in #1.

Tahnk you, that's fab!!!
However, can you plz post "wicons_x2" again?
I just cannot find the file.

Sorry about that. Here it is.

downloading now gonna see if it works on my touch pro. i just posted a review on this gonna have to update it with the new skin

This is awesome! How can we make our own icons?
This is great! The original Winterface icons are difficult to see in direct sunlight on my HTC Titan. These more vivid icons address that problem. Question: how did you do this? How can we make our own icons for Winterface - which programs are needed?
Thanks again.

Photoshop usually

I used Gimp which is pretty much the same thing. And once you get used to it, it's not even all that time consuming. I've taken a few cracks at creating other themes (Neon is coming soon) and finding the icons to use takes more time than it does to tweak them for Winterface. Just a matter of resizing, copy and paste. The key is saving it correctly (16-bit, R5G6B5) or you can mess other things up (the Realize theme causes the Task Manager to close the program.)

you must have never seen Rosie working
but it looks promising, you are right. would be nice to have it on the blackstone.. but i am not convinced it will happen. :/

m900's UI looks disgusting

you already posted this same topic in all the Blackstone sections, why?

Looks bad imo, kinda like a beta for touchflow a couple of years ago. Also designed badly from a ui standpoint, most options like the album are full screen but effectivly only use 30% of it which is really inefficient and a waste.
Then again, nice find. Even tho to me its a failed attempt its good to see other manufacturers than HTC working on "fixing" WinMo.

it's definitely from the same authors of manila... lok at icons, shape and animations...
but really ugly

I quite positively hate it, seems awfully counter-productive to me. Manilla is pretty quick to get to your essential items like sms, contacts, email, weather etc, but you have to click all over the damn screen on that.

Anyone have a CAB of this

Looks terrible I would prefer to use titanium and I hate titanium quite a lot.
Manila for me please

The globe showing the location is alright but a novelty. On the whole I would say the interface is crap.

it s*cks bigtime

I like the concept, and quite like the design!
Without wanting to change the topic, I've begun - after trying perhaps 20 ROMs - to begin to wonder what's the point? Shave a bit of memory here, add or remove a program there - they are all much of a muchness (and that's not to give any disrespect to the aptl-named chefs, I am very much in love with some of them!)
But what I would like to see is more innovative attempts at changing the GUI, and I find this a good alternative to TouchFlo/6.5/PointUI/Spb etc etc. and this would be a fun port!

It sure is innovative but...
Its design looks a bit crappy to me. And not really that productive/fast to use.
So up to now i'd stick with TF3D still... Having tried pointui's home2, TF3D, iphone, spb mobile shell 3 i'd say the top two in productivity and looks are iphone's and TF3D.
Spb mobile shell pretty close too but some stuff really turned me off about it.
This one doesn't get close to any of these overall in my personal opinion...

[SKIN][THEME] WP7series/ 'JMLToday' Based Titanium

Long long over due- though here is a preview for my JMLToday based Skin/Titanium Theme-
Uses the JMLToday plugin to update and display most dynamic notifications, dates, appts, and so forth, as well as some modded & custom CHome plugins.
More or less this is a preview and call for help >.< Looking for anyone good with JMLPanex, Mortscript, and familiar with the JMLToday 5.70 plugin- as only half the links work and hoping a fresh set of eyes might help identify the problem!
Anyone interested please pvt message me- and I will try my hardest to get the source ASAP to you!
Please no messages about wanting to beta test it, I swear it will be released in its entirety on completion for all!

Titanium theme?
great work!waiting

good job dude
keep going...

the screenshots are just....WONDERFUL !!!!! i'll stay in touch for this skin, keep gong man, well done!!!!

amazing dude love it CANT WAIT

i am but just very little and i doubt i could help you, maybe you could ask some help from JML or michael diamond? or in the jmlskin thread, maybe some can help, one thing for sure, jmltoday(with all the rest) is a goldmine few has really understood the power of... anyway, you done a great job and a great idea! wish i could do more

great work!waiting

bel lavoro! grande

I am extremely excited for this. Extremely.

Look promising
(sorry, i dont know how work JML today plug in )

Any updates?

Previews look amazing. Would be a good alternative to Sense and other WP7 today screens out there. Hopefully it performs well.

it's a shame it only works on 6.5....will a 6.1 version be available ? At the moment i'm using sense 2.1 but the wp 7 skin looks great

would really want to try it out. hope it is not too heavy on the memory usage.

SMS/Email/Contacts
I understand it is a [SKIN][THEME] so will it go deeper and will we actually have a different SMS/Email/Contacts theme like Windows Phone 7? I personally am not a fan of SENSE SMS skin and like the original WinMo or the new WinPho7 stylings more so.
Aside from that I am very eager to your release!

@mfgrdfct : for more informations of JMLToday/JMLPanex, you can PM me.
A++

looking forward to this

[Q] reading resources to make a theme

hey guys.. ive always had this idea for a theme in my head since i had my iphone 3g but never ended up following through because i hated the laggyness of the iphone 3g. now with my sgs i have no more excuses haha.
im new to this but pretty tech savvy. if any of you guys could point me to some reading resources to help me make a theme that would be great. what i had in mind was a green monochromatic terminal (NOT matrix) theme kind of a cross between:
apple terminal
www (insert the obvious ".") dataswamp.net/apple2eserialterm/apple_serial_terminal--modem_mgr-vt220_selection.jpg
metal gear codec
i.ytimg.com/vi/x9Kg9wM48Wo/0.jpg
gameboy dot matrix screen
static.gamesradar.com/images/mb/GamesRadar/us/Daily/2010/06-Jun/21/iPhone%20game%20of%20the%20day/GameBoyscreen--article_image.jpg
just a mashup of these vibes. i think it would look great with the look of the phone. its very nerdy yes but i love that look haha. im askin for directions to resources so i can see if there is anything i have to do or be aware of to make it compatible for different kernels/phones and so on in case anyone would want it too.. like i said, its my first time makin one! so any info would be great!
id like to completely change all the menus on the phone if possible, like dialer, status bar and drop down menu and anything i can change to a dot matrix/green vibe..
thanks alot guys!
