Hi guys,
I'm looking for a dialer, exactly like the standard WM6 dialer but with the video call option, that way when the theme changes we'll have the correct colour dialer, also if possible I'd like the Comm screen to change too.
HTC use that green theme for the default which is ok of you have a green theme, it just feels like a half assed theme if the other screens don't change!
if anyone can help or point me in the right direction that would be fantastic.
Thanks guys
Terry
Hello
Anybody knows how to make vito winterface skins?
It has this file "dafault.skin" (on default.zip) but i cannot edit it.
And if I change the icons from this file "icons.bmp" when I load winterface all the icons where wrong.
Anybody wants to help me?
thank you very much.
If you search a few months back in the forums, someone actually was able to skin a whole new icon set, but at the expense of knocking the contact pictures out of whack.
Just search "Winterface". Shouldn't be too hard to find.
Did you find anything?

Figured it. Will work on a skin in the next couple of days and post.
OK, skins for Winterface start here
Save as Windows Bitmap, 24bit colour depth, RGB colour profile and in the format R5,G6,B5 (available in Photoshop Advanced Options when you save as Bitmap).
Saving Alpha channel makes no difference that I can see.
You'll need to keep the original contact image as it matches the one in the "black.bmp" file and ensures the contact pictures show correctly once you've selected a single contact to dial.
Icons need to fit 42px x 42px squares on the grid
Hope that helps.

Into the "bin" folder. Backup your others first in case you want to revert to the original
thanks dave! and thanks for the icons. Is there anyway to change the black background? maybe like a wallpaper?
Not that I can see
Will have a look and try to do something, doubtful though as it's solid black it's probably hard-wired into the app.
any other icon sets? or themes? or backgrounds yet?

I've looked to see where (if) the background files can be changed.
I'm currently working on changing the weather icons using the same principles as stated above. Looking pretty sweet so far.
EDIT: I'm also taking a crack at an icon theme. Here's a screenshot. Also, notice the icon for weather.
^ this is excellent, please keep up the good work on that one
this might just make me go back to Winterface
PS- has anyone managed to skin Fun Contact and SMS Chat yet? getting bored with the original look, they need polished up.

THX a lot for that!
But with the new version of winterface, 1.2, there are some bugs...
ex: task manager make winterface crashes... and the phone shortcut doesn't work...
Yeah. I'm having the same prob, BUT, only with certain icon sets. Very strange. Also, if you add a contact and then click on the contact, their picture doesn't not appear. Although, that may have been my own fault. Still, it was nice to have a glimmer of hope for this app.

1: I've now tried to install the Realize skin. I followed your intsructions in Photoshop, but the icons don't look crisp, as your attached images, and they have purple edges. Why?
2: How can I get wi-fi indicators (as on bluetoth - so I can see whether wi-fi is switched on or off - the same place but the icon changes)?
3: What about icons not determined by Winterface? For example; Applications I buy or other original icons. Can I replace the files in the Windows folder?
4: Off the topic, and in andvance sorry; Do any of you know any good applications for how to administer web connections? It seems like the default connection to the web is through my sim card (3G, EDGE etc), so what I'm doing now is actually "switching off" my phone, then enable wi-fi and then start surfing. There has to be a better solution to this...
I have HTC Touch HD T8282 and I'm far from a computer/mobile wiz...
Hi all,
Any new skins or buttons for the winterface?
Thanks / PG

Hi all,
I just love the facelift with the realizeicons, great work!
I have the same problem with the task manager (Running) though, as soon as I change to the realizeicons it makes Winterface to crash!
Any solution for this?
In my opinion Winterface is by far the greatest looking GUI for WM-phones today, and it would be really nice if it were a little more skinable.
Thanks / PG
Best of luck
well no upDATES??
hm..wintrface is good i agree
but bit too boring..................if only some wallpapers can be used along with themes like spb???
soo
all those genius ppl out there.
PLZ DO IT

Hey Dude. Quick questions. DID you figure out how to edit the ".skin" files?

Dave thanks for the zip files/icons they are great. One problem I noticed after installing them was the sliding lock bar did not work. do you know of a solution?
I appologize in advance if my answers are buried somewhere in this forum... I am using the latest version of S2u2 and I have it running almost to my satisfaction, with two exceptions.
1. How do I get rid of the unread email count on the lock screen?
2. is there a way to reduce the size of the caller ID pic? Not as small as the thumbnail but not full screen either. I'd like to see my background with a similar size pic (centered) as the contact pic on touchflo.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
Your best bet is to ask in the S2U2 thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412418
Happy hunting
yeah there is also another threat on this subject.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406090&highlight=s2u2
How to get a Bigger or Full Screen picture for Caller ID? The Default one is pretty small.
There is no application? pls rep something
Have you tried some of the other Panels? Maybe spb or even the touchflo3d could have bigger caller pictures..
They do, but the resolution stinks...TF3D just blows up the little tiny picture bigger which is crap...
S2U2 has an option for enabling full-screen caller ID, but it stretches the tiny Windows Contact pic so it looks awful.
Oh god! This is so bad. There is not a single software? Shame on WM
There are several alternatives;
S2u2 as mentioned above, (set the contact pic using S2V btw, scales properly that way). Available in the Dev & Hacking section of this very forum.
As is iCaller http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=450187
Commercially theres
Phonex and Photo contacts pro both are really nice apps.
The manilla dialer is my favourite, and one reason why I tend to install it on most devices.. The blackstone one doesn't do fullscreen but it is much better than stock, and a nice slidey answer button.
There's probably more, but as you don't seem to want to search for them I won't either..
But the first find in GOOGLE comes up with these..

Not if you use S2v to assign picture to contact. It looks great on my X1.
Home of S2U2, S2P and S2V
Okay,i m messed up with too many. What you guys are using?

Ahhhh! Did not know that, good idea
Though I'm using "Fonebook" to sync Facebook pictures down to my Outlook contacts... I guess I have to pick one, huh.
I`m just testing out Photo Contacts Pro. The Photos are still crapped..to far to much compression noise...yes i reasigned them from the orignal source imagaes.
Ist Phonex looking better?
Ok found the settings to increase photo quality. 400 x 400 pixel and still a lot of compression artefacts...it has to be better...
Photo Contacts Pro is having a problem sending SMS...i get the message "this sms message cant be sent" anyone any idea what to do about it?
I like the SMS editor from photocontacts..larger buttons and all that stuff...
hi,
I have a HTC Diamond 2, and I would like to change the position of the clock, the calendar and the call history on the today-screen. (I have a person as wallpaper and now the clock and the other stuff is at the same level as the face of the person. Therefore i can't see the face neither the clock ect. So I would like to move everything down a bit.)
Is it possible to do this and how?
I hope, that there aren't a lot of post to this topic, which I didn't found.
oh yes. I have found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=496072
that would be more or likely what I search, but the clock should be right above the call history and whithout that nice lady.
btw. the Diamond TF3D Config 0.6.7 doesn't work on my HTC D2.
thx a lot for your help!
