We need new skins for phone

Well my dialer looks like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I think that looks bad and I'd rather have somethig that looks like one of the pics in the thread below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13515
I've installed the files from that thread but they don't seem to make a difference to the "Phone" application.

That's my experience too, the phone skin seems to be stuck. I've got the standard QTEK phone skin, which looks okay, but the buttons are the wrong shape which you can see when you press them and see the real button behind.

Did you try to install the IntelliDialer from a QTEK extended ROM ? It might solve the button problem.

kewl link....was able to insall the phone skins but could'nt install skins for windows media player the format uploaded there is .msk any idea how to install these skins over windows media player....
thanks

The dialler skins are easy to use. You need to install a psk file installer to your device and then choose the skin you want to use.
The media player msk files need a different program to be installed, I can't remember the name and the company is offline at the moment.
Meanwhile, feel welcome to grab some more phone skins from my site. Bear in mind, these do not work in landscape mode.
Cheers

ugghhhh anyone else who know how to install .msk ???

Dial Today plugin

Hi all, I'm finding a plugin to make direct calls from today screen like Palm Treo 700w look here http://www.palm.com/us/products/smartphones/treo700w/today.epl
bye
alberto

did you find it? sounds great!

it would be nice if somebody who ows theo 700w get the necessery files for rest of us :twisted:

Treo700w users come on!

I guess not many Treo700 users will be reading this forum.
However, if you find this Today plug-in, let us know: I'd love to try it.

yes! it sounds like a great idea.. even for people developing soft for pocket PC devices..
I've been googleling for this kind of plugin as a part of a software to buy/download, but nothing similar..
the pic.

Though if you start using the 0 - 9 buttons you can dial the number that way from the Today screen, if that's any help.
Though also, with that AND the Contacts software/hardware key, I don't honestly see what the point of such an app is?!?

Maybe for those few who uses the phone in portait mode..
But again, that would require them to open a SIP.
Would be easier to just press green button and dial..
I dunno..

And also, contactbreeze, from SBSH, properly configured, is very simmilar and more simply for searchs.
Have Fun

but noone have buyed Treo700w? possible?

That'd be ace if there were a version for the Exec.

SPB Diary has a contacts plugin that does almost that. You'll get a contact list wich you can dial from.

You want to have the bluetooth shortcut on the today screen?
If you'r running O2 plus, under the "applications" tabs it can be done.
Click on O2 plus icon in today screen
Click on applications tab
Click on add button
Find bluetooth under the settings list
Done
If you'r not running O2 plus, sorry can't help ya

I think he wants to remove it entirely? I dunno, trying to figure out the posts in this place is pretty hard sometimes.
It would be pretty cool to remove that icon though, since phonealarm duplicates all the functionality I need from it.

This is so damn true... "my phone don't ring i can't make the screen off now so all buttons are lock help me"
<sigh>

That is easy. Do a backup (or registry backup only), whip up that friendly regeditor and locate the string "BTIcon" using a search function or walk there manually, it is in HKLM\Services\BTIcon. Remove the entire BTIcon branch and there you are.
This is coming from memory, hence the strong suggestion to do a BACKUP!

I want it to look just like the WM5 phone pad skin...just black.

Try this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295951 WM6 but it might give you an idea.

I used to like the Jim98y dialer also except that it scrunches the numbers when inputing and my users (and myself) noticed that it wouldn't show DTMF (such as dialing an extension).
I switched back to the PaulyA skins at http://www.paulya.com/dialerskins.htm
I personally like the Grey in the Black Glass with out smartdialer series. (I dispise the WM6 smartdialer so I use the Grey with the old smartskey.ini so I can get to my Contacts, history and Speed Dial with the D-Pad, but that's me)

thanks guys! Ya I found paulya website yesterday. they are very very nice phone pad skins. I'm using the vista black one. I'd still like to find a black version of the WM5 default one. call me stupid lol. i just want to see how it looks in my skin. i think the vista one looks too good to go with my skin.

I think you will like this.

he said post one you like...I suggest you do what he said if you want to get this resolved

The problem is the way Palm programed the Treo Dialpad...it overrides any changes you make to the WM dial pad. There was a way to get the standard WM dialpad to show up...however, it would disable voicemail notifications...
