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 this one:

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?

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

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.

[SKN] Real VGA Manila WMP Skin | Portrait + Landscape

Hello,
at first, sorry for my english, I'm from Germany. I've searched a while for a VGA Skin to match the look of the Media Player with the rest of my Diamond, but couldn't find anything. So I created this evening one by my self.
It's not finaly finished, but nearly at the end. If someone is interessted in this work I can Upload it here tomorrow or at monday.
Here some Screens how it looks at the moment. If you have some ideas for Improvement...
Cheers, Fred
In the Black area is the Video normaly shown
So,
finally here it is, added today some nice rating icons and made a new Screenshot.
At the moment just portrait mode, but if I got time I add a Landscape version if some people ask for it.
If you have ideas for Improvement I'll try to implement them (if it is a good idea )
Have fun...
Here's also some news about it. Tank you for this news entry *g*

Hope you like it.

DO WANT!!
Haha, seriously man, this looks SWEET!

Looks amazing, this is what I've been waiting for!!! Please post it asap!!

WOW I didn't notice until now you've posted it already! Looks great, THANKS!!!

so this should work on 1.97 roms and 1.93 or?

Makes no difference which ROM you use, should work on every ROM with the WMP.

Could you make a black version of this skin?

Thanks nice work !

Very good job.
best regards

nice skin, thanks!

i believe i have seen it b4. didnt dutty got this theme on his ROMs?

No, this theme is completely made by myself! There's nothing copied.
All other Versions I've seen are just upscaled qvga versions.

great skin,but i would really like to have landscape too
s
but how to insrall it,where to copy these files?

just extract the folder into \program files\Windows Media Player

interesting,i have extract into that folder(so no in internal storage,i ectract this into device memore\program files\winows media player) but skin is same,and yes i have softreset?!?!

Media Player
After you have placed the Folder in Windows/Media Player look for Options/Skins then select and the device should automatically locate it and you can scroll right/left to choose.

ya this is in dutty's rom. apparently he liked it and added it in.

thanks for the skin, finally a reason for me to upgrade from .14.

Hi Nottingham,
I know that your previous skins* on v0.14 work perfect.
I am gonna test it right now and give you feedback in a few days,
Congratulations for that awesome work,
Thanks
(*) diamond skin : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412048
and beautiful Black one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431196
ps: your link to PocketCM points out the v0.14, but your wonderful skins are made for PCMK v0.23 here : http://www.pocketcm.com/keyboardnew.php

hi,
After more than 24h of test I can say that your skins work very well !
The Topaz is really nice : to me it's the best skin ever for PCMK.23
So, it's great on my Diamond and in my opinion you should post it at PocketCM in "Get Skins"
Keep up good work like that,

Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad that you like it.
I've been away for the weekend so I haven't been able to read it up until now. And I've fixed the link. Thank you!

hmm is there a colon character anywhere for int. english?
:
need this for web addresses. thanks

Sorry about that. ".," was supposed to turn into ":;" when activating "shift/caps" but I seem to have forgot about int in the international & french layout.
The issue is fixed and the downloads have been updated. Just download the new file and replace the old one. You might have to unload it and clear the "_cache" for it to change.
Sorry about that, and thank you for making me aware of it.

yeah I am seeing it now, thanks for the fix.

is there any way to get a german layout for PCM 0.23? I tried to edit the default layout but it does not work that good as I aspected it to do... Would be great if you may help!

Hi Nottingham,
I'm very sorry your skins are discontinued but is there still a way to download them?
I'm using the Black Diamond skin daily with PocketCM Keyboard 0.14, but never had the chance to try your 0.23 skins
Plus, it was playing very nicely with the Dark Diamond skin I made for PocketCM.
Cheers,
Hope to see you again.
Alex.

Sorry, lost all backups awhile ago. Now I'm exclusively on mac and text edit on os x don't save *.txt's in the same matter as notepad/wordpad on windows does. Which translates into "corrupted" files on the handset.
I've realized it's stupid to have a winmo phone without having a pc, so I won't be modding or tweaking anymore (and I doubt my next handset will be a smartphone).
It was just a small spare time hobby, so if I can't use simple tools in a simple matter, it's not worth the trouble to me.
Your PocketCM skin looks really nice, so I'm sure that you can create something much better than what I've done.
Good luck, and thank you.
