Windows Mobile 5.0 Themes???

I haven't found any info on this matter...
I have tons of WM 2003SE tsk themes, but... they don't work with WM 5.0 in my Universal...
Do you know where can I find compatible themes? I tried wisbar advance desktop, but it is still in beta... I'm looking for simple tsk themes that work in WM 5.0
Any help would be appreciated.

Someone posted this a while back, I beleive you need the Pocket PC SE VGA to work with the Universal. I have not tried it yet, so do post back if they do work.
http://www.wmthemes.com/default.aspx

It doesn't work. The lower two softkeys don't change their colour, and the wallpaper appears like grey, even if it has... every colour of the rainbow.
I'm really surprised that M$ hasn't announced a theme maker for WM 5.0... And more surprised that there are only 1-2 themes available for WM 5.0 devices...
Really unfortunate...

try mine. i've been playing for a while. some of them are really cool. tell me what do you guys think??? rename the extention to .tsk
More to come....

svyatko you rock! Excellent themes at last!!! Send more plz!
How did you make them my friend? With what kind of software?
Thanx also for the other links to the other friend who post them

Hi svyatko,
Are you using a launcher? How did you get to show so many icons on your screen?
What is the colorful round icon near the battery icon?
Very nice themes. How did you create them?

Great themes svyatko!
I dont seem to have the additional icons!
Do I need to install flash or anything?

guys thanks for your comments. Now, all icons I have , are RESCO TODAY PLUG-IN. it's pretty cool. and it doesn't slow the system like SPB POCKET PLUS one. The icon in the corner next to the battery is POCKET INFORMANT icon.
and regarding the software I am using, its something like McDEV Theme creator. I can't remember the axact name, coz i'm @ work, sneakely writing from my Exec ;-))

yess! The program is ThemeMaker McDeb and it works...
At last I made my own themes based on the ones provided here! Thanx again my friend, it works great.

i'm glad you made it. the only problem I find difficult to solve is the dimentions of the picture. no matter how I tried, the picture gets cut in landscape or in portrait modes. it's obviously not a big deal in an abstract pictures, but in something more precise, that is a great pain in the ass...

Do you have a link for the resco today plugin?

Cheers CKTLCMD!
I cant seem to locate the network browser on the trial download. What can it do? Anyone got any first hand experience?

Hi all, I have a theme question

I've done a search of this forum & wiki, and the web, but I can't figure out where to get the themes that you guys have in the screenshots thread.
You all seem to take it as normal but I've no idea how to get started!
BTW, I have OzVGA on my Exec, is that going to be an issue?
If it's possible to convert them, I'd really like my PC's current theme!
(Clicky for big)
P.S. Is there a VGA Windows Media Player theme that gets rid of the nasty black bar at the base of the screen?

I am using Wisbar Advance as are quite a few others. The themes you need a are all over the internet, just google "wisbar theme" and you'll see what I mean.
For true VGA you will generally need to use QVGA themes, sounds daft but trust me.......
Here I'm using a vista theme for WA2 and WMP with the Expea2 extended theme for SPB Pocket Plus off the SBSH forum.
By the way, what XP theme are you using??

Hi Pug ,
where can i download the theme ...that u have attached in the previous reply. its really nice
plz give me the link to download
Many thanks,
Gopi

There is a problem with the WMP skin not keeping it's selection so the patched files are attached here.
Remember if you are using a "normal" display you need the VGA themes, if you are using TrueVGA you will need the qVGA with maybe the WMP VGA skins etc... Confusing but I didn't make the rules.

It's called Allion2 (it's on the dialog box in the screenshot!) There are a few different colour versions, "System" is the nice blue one.

I don't have a subscription of that forum..
Can you post over here?

Hi,
Excellent soft CM. Would it be possible to switch the letters column on the right side of the screen ? I'm left handed and it would be easier for me to choose the tight letter.
Thanks and ... BRAVO !

I cannot program, i only make skins. Pleasepost it in pocket cm-forum.
The skin must only be copied into program folder of pocket cm as a zip file. In pocket cm you can choose it in the settings. Previews: Link in my signature, there are previews of all my themes incl. pocket cm.

Neo XL....You are the MAN!!!! I have been looking for themes with background PICS since the .17 CAB came out, all people seem to make since are colors. I like the look of pictures in the backgrounds (plus, (I hope you don't mind) I can backwards engineer my own theme when I have something like this to work with!!!!!
Thanks again!!!

Awesome themes...lovin the all black theme.

Try to edit the contact and copy the home number to the mobile phone entry.
And: I don´t know how to program... i used the new touch theme pics and edited them.

Hi,
just installed the skins... very nice!
However, when I open the contact details, the contact list is still shown in the background (looks kind of messed up). Is this just one mine (Asus P525)?
KR,
Markus

I tried it on my prophet and the functions were all okay. Over 1000 users downloaded the themes...don´t know, if there were problems like this before. What´s the version of your pocket cm? Which theme of them do you use? Notice: They are qvga-themes.
Now the Paris-Theme is also online.

I tried them (except the new paris theme) with v1.8 and all had the same problem... Is this maybe a configuration issue with pocketCM?

My friends have other ppc´s...mda compact II, trinity, and all functions are well....don´t know, why you have these problems, sorry.

At this time i have hard to work in my job, so i can´t work on themes. But i hope, in the next month there will be time for a new one. Every theme takes one or two days, because i always skin wm6, pocket cm,sometimes mort player and phone in one way.
My favourite is the vista black glass skin, but i change often between the skins.

[WMP] WVGA iPhone skin remade in high resolution

Hi everyone, here's my first contribution to this wonderful community
I don't know how many people were in my boat but in my search for a pretty WVGA skin last week I stumbled across this iPhone style one:
http://mylostblog.altervista.org/sk...inal-skins/wmp-skin-005-iphoneipod-touch-wide
However, the WVGA skin seemed to have simply being a badly resized QVGA one so I spent some time and remade all the graphics. Only changes I made were that the shuffle and repeat icons are now grayed out by default and become white when active. Also in landscape the play/pause, previous and next icons no longer sit in their own little box. Everything else is pretty much the same but high res.
For those that don't know, install the skin by placing the "iPhone" folder in your /Program Files/Windows Media Player folder and select the skin from the options. You will have to select the landscape one when in landscape mode.
Credits to MyLostBlog for the initial design.
Update:
MyLostBlog has pointed out that there is an official higher resolution version of this skin here:
http://mylostblog.altervista.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=82
I have uploaded the cab from here as well as the design.
This has an extra mute button and fullscreen button in landscape mode.
Thanks again to MyLostBlog for the beautiful design.

very nice skin! thanks for your work!

Although I'm not an iPhone fan this skin looks great and much more comfortable than the standard one. I will give it a try later on.

Nice skin. Thanks for sharing.

I agree, I'm not a fan of iPhones either but the default WMP skin is horrible. I can't really change to another player though because I use voice commands to play my music

you're not changing players, you're just installing a new skin to make it look different

Haha what? I know that, I am the OP. I'm saying that I agree with WMP being rather old and lacking some useful features, however, I can't use voice commands with other players such as CorePlayer or S2P and hence I'm more or less stuck with WMP - hence the skin.

Sorry bout that... I misread your post >blush<

How do I get the Landscape Skin to show up in the Options window?

Turn the phone on landscape (make sure you have a screen rotating app installed such as FlipIt).
Once in landscape navigate the options and it will display landscape skins.

Ah, I see. Gotta use a screen rotater and get in landscape first, huh? Gotcha. Thanks.

Is anyone having problems of this not working? The skin only applies for a few minutes then once I make sure it's in use in options it just reverts to the original skin. Also my WMP folder is empty .

no registration just choose your resolution and no caps just copy paste contets to windows media player folder http://mobilityupdate.com/iphone-skin-for-windows-mobile-qvga-vga-wvga-wqvga-supported/

This skin has saved my WMP experience... Thanks!
Any chance of someone porting a true "Touch Player" setup to WMP11? I truly miss the swipe from TF, but it just kills the memory to run it all...
