WM7-ish themes (PocketCM 19, tsk & S2U2)

I dont expect "Great job" posts since I am a desktop developer not a graphic artist but here they are anyway
PocketCM and S2U2 are portait only for now
PocketCM 19: Based on the look of the WM7 Email screenshots
S2U2 : Just a Portrait Wallpaper.
This is alpha stuff but at least it works. I will fix up the niggles as I go along,If there are anyone willing to help it will be greatly appreciated.
Enjoy

PocketCM :
3rd screen - you could make highlihted text white...imo.
i like clean look of this one(could you make greyscale version?).

Like I said ...its a work in progress and this is a community after all, all input is greatly appreciated

Keep up the good work
Glad to know another good thing is coming from the rainbow country (SA)

if any of you have used the wisbar advance theme called "Aero Luminescence (aka WinMo 7)", it has the same exact color scheme of the actual WM7 leaked screenshots. i don't know how the developer did that, because he released it.. maybe a year ago. check the lakeridge software forums for it, btw.
sorry i'm way off topic. i just noticed that your tsk looks like it's from Aero Luminescence. i really like the pocketcm theme, thanks.

all m th images were edited in paint.net, could this be why the gradient looks crap in the S2U2 wallpaper?

Looks good man keep up the good work!

if you changed the format of the images at any point that can change the quality of them (further more bitmap gradients aren't that great if you use bitmap i use png)
the program paint.net would not effect quality, only how you use it

another Manila Theme-UPDATE (with Music Tag) 28May08

the music tag work with album cover display
i search for a long time, and finally have a trick to make it work
but maybe it isn't a good method

MortPlayer

Face Contact
Calendar+
WeatherPanel Theme ---> download
hope u like it

Looks good, I especially like the weather panel page!
EDIT: Just found that the square frame part which shows the weather icons in weatherpanel gets cut off from the top by the start bar. Its not the actual image because I checked it and its not cut off in the image file. I think you have to move it down in the layout...I would do it myself but I dont know how. So can you please correct this? I think you cant see it in the image you posted because you have a white background, and the part which gets cut off is the white part of the frame.

It's awesommmme !
Thanks for sharing this, u really did a great, great job !

THANKs

Thanks

Very nicely done!

Its Ok i figured tht out from ur UltimateLaunch.ini and im using Htc Audio manager today plugin in ur music tab ill attach it so u can give it a try And gr8 work man............

Music Tag work now
Just update on the first post, but still have many bug need to fix

instructions werent very clear on this stuff. most of my tabs are missing dll files (especially comm tab). my missed call count shows "xxx" instead of "0"
the music tab works but isnt showing my album art eventhough its showing in mortplayer....anyway to change this to use with audio manager?? mortplayer takes up too much ram
id love this in a black version like the htc diamond

I'm very interested in the music tab... Is it htc audio manager today plugin? this plugin doesn't show album arts (covers)... any explanation please?
like your job!

Slim Sized Font
Hi,
I'd like to know how you get the slim sized font in the systembars. Like the ''start'', ''contact'' font. On your screenshot it shows slim, but originally it show ''bold'' font. How did you do that? Any registry keys?
Thanks in forward

trick to show ablum art
sorry, i forgot to tell you how to get the cover
1. well organize your song (one album one folder)
2. then a cover photo put into the folder and name it to cover.jpg (file size no larger than 145x145)
that's all, click the play button (at the right side) and mortplayer is run, then return to today screen, if the screen not update, click the screen center
(this is a simply mortscript trick)
This music tag is a theme for XIAMultiTheme and not a plugin
actually a want to make it work for S2P (i can make it show up the cover photo) but can't remote S2P, if someone know how to make it work, pls let me know.

[THE] TF3D Beta7/Vista Theme for manila

So after a week of almost giving up every other day I finished (as far as im going to take it ) this theme.
Before I post pics...
Thanks to all Mods and senior members for all Cust and help. Specifically:
NisseDILLIGAF - in general, also used NoTopCurtain, and black font files in theme
Giannis86 - for Landscape Icons
sushilange - for Manila editor.
Okay here it is.... Beta 7 theme. Zip includes PNG files but just copy MANILA files into windows folder.
note: Background is kind of bright and doesn't work well with all tabs. But I dont use all tabs so it suites me. and i just got quick cab but still dont really know how to use it.
enjoy.

Also Beta Dialer!
I also made a dailer to kinda match. dont like stock dailer and the black Dailer is hard to read in sunlight.
So I made this dailer with big Numbers and contrasted them against theme. Added little accents to other dailer files.
Cause, you know its the little things.
Instructions: just copy image files from zip into windows folder on device.
BETA DAILER.

Good Work
Very good work mate wont be using it as i just got my TF3d looking sweet but urs could be a contender on my next flash
Downloaded and saved

thank,download

Nice, many thanks.

This is a quality theme! many thanx ive been looking for a decent windows theme, only 2 issues with it tho, the numbers on the clock dnt sit on the flip thing proply (witch is easly solved) and that gr8 dialer skin dosent work with slide to answer, witch is a shame!! apart from that its pure quality

Slider Upgrade
Thank You and sorry about the wait. But here you go..
Sorry no screen shots only file copies. I have CDMA TouchPro.
Added all files to zip just extract and enjoy!

[THE] S2U2 1.4x & 1.5x Diamond Theme (Mar 01, 09)

I thought maybe someone might be interested in HTC Diamond theme for S2U2 so I made my own. It's not perfect and the clock is not mine, but I've made there a couple of changes - used original TouchFLO 3D icons, used original WM 6.1 icons for statusbar, made all new slider (matching the HTC Touch style), fixed and cleaned the background (found here on XDA). All info is in enclosed ZIP file.
Enjoy.
EDIT (March, 1st): Screenshots slightly out of date.
LATEST VERSION 1.5x: Initial release (March, 1st)
LATEST VERSION 1.4x: V04 (February, 8th)​
Version history 1.5x:
Initial release
All files updated in order to comply with 1.50 version
Included original S2U2 1.50 Diamond style as well as my Diamond Glass style
Version history 1.4x:
V04
Updated "redcircle.png" by original TouchFLO 3D images
Updated "system.png" by original HTC and Windows Mobile icons (alarm icon from TouchFLO 3D, WiFi nad BT icon from HTC WM)
Removed black background from "system.png" in order to make it compatible with light wallpapers = no more black rectangles
Added landscape "manila" wallpaper
V03
Corrected some "manila" clock files
Deleted screenshots from the pack
Added two new wallpapers
Added "glass" version of wallpaper and clock
Updated "readme.txt" in both Czech and English
V02
Cleaned the wallpaperb.jpg
Intial release
Known limitations of the skin/S2U2:
(red = 1.4x, blue = 1.5x, black = both)
I haven't designed the skin for neither S2P nor call answering. The skin was designed to look exactly like on the pictures I've enclosed.
The clock format must be set to "HH:MM" (01:30 format), otherwise the clock will be bad-positioned.
You can't use the "show large battery" function because it would mean there are no flips under the clock (the flips are parts of the wallpaper - just have look at the templates).
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND TO UPDATE TO THE LATEST 1.5X VERSION SERIES.​

Very nice work, i know some released a similar version earlier but this looks like it fits in with TF3D alot more. Thanks!

Nice work, thanx
Diky, rad vyzkousim

Great job. If I may make a small request though as to change the white flip clock to the glass flip clock? I would really appreciate it. I use the glassclock on tf3d so it would just match better thanks in advace

Even though I said there would be no updates or whatsoever, I think that shouldn't be a big problem for me. If you were able to get me a screenshot or point me, where to get the source files, I can give it a try.

Nice work! Just a little note - why do you have the "flips" moved slightly to the right? Is it on purpose? Anyway - I've made another version if anyone found it useful.

Done and included in both pack (since V03) and templates.

Farkin Sweet! Thanks a ton for creating this, I REALLY appreciate it. Especially the templates! (Once I realized that it wasn't actually a real flip clock and half of it was part of the background.)

Great to hear that - anyway - just a little note - I haven't received any answer from the glass clock author, so I had to "rip" the source files from manila themes using the Manila Editor. The numbers are made by myself (actually edited), but I hope it looks pretty much like the original you wanted.

Wow, good job on that. I opened your glassclock template in Photoshop, inserted my own wallpaper, and sharpened it. Here's how it came out. (the only glitch i have found so far is that when the clock goes from 12:59-1:00 that the numbers slide over and no longer match up with flip clock outline.) Because of this, I'm not sure if my wallpaper for landscape will match (I have a TP). But I made one anyway. I also added a little more dimension to the slider and posted it.
:Edit: I got the glass to look a little more glassy/transparent. Now if only I could get the one in tf3d to be the same lol

The thing is that the clock format must be set to "HH:MM" (01:00) instead of "H:MM" (1:00) - there's unfortunately no other way. But I think I've mentioned it in the readme file. And what more - that's true that I haven't made the landscape wallpapers either.
EDIT: I've added the ZIP file containing the landscape templates. Thanks for your great idea!

Thanks for another template. Glad I could give you the idea. I took your advice about the clock and other than the a big "0", it's balanced. so I can deal. I also got bored and remade the slider icons again, and again, and again check 'em out! tell me what you think.

I think they're pretty good!

Great stuff. Thanks for your help.
Is there anyway to make the flip clock flip? Mine does not flip.

As far as I can tell - it's impossible.

That is what I figured. thanks.

[stopped!.. on to something else -see last post!] htctoucher's Microsoft retouched

Hey everyone!
I decided to stop this theme!
its not fun enough for my taste.. a little too generic even
I might start working on some palm pre inspired skins like this for pcmc:
so stay tuned?!
UPDATES AS OF 4/13/09:
Dialer skin added (see post #2)
wm6.5 skin added (see post #3)
s2u2 skin updated (vga support added and graphical errors fixed)!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
s2u2 Preview:
*not everything is shown (one wallpaper, some of the buttons/sliders)*​
INSTRUCTIONS:
-- backup original s2u2 gfx file if you wish to keep the original skin
-- unzip the qvga or vga gfx folder from the .zip file attached depending on your devices resolution
------ (excluding wallpapers, vga works with wvga and qvga works with wqvga)
-- there are different styles of unknown and nopicture callerid wallpapers, buttons, sliders and wallpapers within the zip
------ choose the one you want to use and name it to the correct filename (arrows.png, buttons.png, buttonl.png, wallpaper.jpg, nopic.png, unknown.png)
-- copy/move the gfx folder into your s2u2 folder and overwrite originals
-- you will want to disable the bottom bar and topbar in settings, and it would probably look best to disable the s2text for the dialer screens too in the lang file
FAQ:
Q: Are the call buttons/sliders hardcoded into a particular incoming caller wallpaper?
A: No, use whichever unknown or nopic wallpaper I have included, select either slide2end, slide2answer or simple answer and end buttons in s2u2 settings and you will see the sliders/buttons/wallpapers work independently from one another
Q: Will there be more FAQs??
A: Yup, as soon as I get more
WARNING:
I havent been able to test all aspects of the VGA version, but it should all work
If you encounter any issues (graphical) please upload a screenshot and/or description so I can work to fix it
Enjoy!

dialer and commmanager skins!
Preview of the comm manager and dialer skins:
..
**if anyone knows why in the dialer incall screen portrait the disabled pause and add call buttons are still htc-styled please let me know..
I skinned every image I found that corresponded to that part of the dialer but they havent changed!**​
DIALER INSTRUCTIONS:
-- first note that it is a QVGA skin, i dont know what the most popular VGA dialer is
-- unzip cab from zip attached
-- uninstall any previous versions of opal phone canvas if you have them installed
-- install the cab to device, not storage card
DIALER KNOWN ISSUES:
-- Not everything is skinned in the dialer, and there may be some issues as it is impossible for me to test everything
That being said, I tested everything I could, and I cannot find any skin-related issues
I tried my best to skin everything but there are over 200 files so it may be that I missed some
-- Also, I am still working on how to change the font color for smart dialing portion of the opal phone canvas
If anyone knows, please post or PM me!
it is the opal phone canvas, and I think its done by registry keys but the cab I used didnt install any
**comm manager coming as soon as i figure out which version this is so I can make the cab..
any help pointing me in the right direction would be great! (its part of NFSFAN's 6.5 rom)**​
here are just the files for opal phone canvas
only use these if you already have opal phone canvas already installed (the version WITH THE INCOMING SLIDER

Enjoy!
htctoucher

windows mobile 6.5 skin!
Preview of the skin for windows mobile 6.5 users
This theme will *only* work if you are running WM6.5!!​
INSTRUCTIONS:
-- download the .zip attached
-- unzip the folder "files to put in windows directory" somewhere so you can look inside it
------ the Titanium_240x320.cpr file fixes the date issue mentioned above, and the StartMenu_GridScene_240x320.cpr will change your start menu from 3 to 4 columns
-- choose which files you want to copy to your device, and do so
-- soft reset
------ you will not see the changes until you soft reset
KNOWN ISSUES:
-- some of the graphics of the lock screen have not been skinned, like the locked dialer for example
when I get more time I will skin these as well
Also, I was going to make a cab, but figured not everyone will be using titanium weather and may not want some files or 4 column start menu etc.
If cab is requested by some of you, I will make one, but its a pretty simple installation anyway
Enjoy!

just in case, this ones reserved for even later

Typical htctoucher Theme.Looks really cool.The Blue is allways royal.loved the arrow for ur s2u2.It would be cool if u add mort button skin.Great work.

Very nice icons for notifications! The slider needs a little touch up. Anyways, great job ! You need to update your theme color like blue to other colors. Blue is getting bored...

Amazing look and pretty impressive.

wow that baby is sweet lookin....please make a QVGA theme as well

Looks great and I am already looking forward to using it .
One question though, what formats will you make? WVGA?
Cheers!
// X

I love it! I cant wait to see the rest. good work!

you're pimping again

looks great.

Yes, please!
When you get finished with all this, mind if I cook them into a ROM? possibly some minor, minor branding involved (just on the M2D and/or S2U bg if you'll let me do so)

Man.. you're sick.. in a really really beautiful way.
Where do you get all those graphics? The notif icons look reeeaaaallly good. But try using a different color for the bkgnd.. maybe red? or purple? or yellow? or green? o orange?

Looking good!!

wow! great response!
wow i only posted this morning and alraedy got a LOAD of feedback.. very motivating! thanks to everyone who has posted!
now i will try to answer all of them.. because i can (and i want this theme to have a lot of user input because ideas/concepts are best developed when bounced around - thats the great thing about this community!)

yeah i like the notifications too, agreed on the slider, gotta fix up the edges and the white lock icon.. forgot to do that before i flattened it and uploaded the preview
i think i will do multiple colors, but i am not sure how to implement other colors (should multiple backgrounds with one dominant color, or one background with a melding of multiple colors?)
i agree blue is overused, but to be honest, its my favorite color! and microsoft uses it a LOT (maybe i will bring in some cyan/very blue green as that is the color scheme in vista?)
what do you think?
