WM5 Themes "Origami Suite" (ROM 2.17 or higher)

Have you ever taken a look at the gallery section over on www.origamiproject.com ? It's filled with a bunch of pretty nice-looking wallpapers for UMPCs, but UMPCs aren't available until much later, rendering these small wallpapers useless... until now. I've picked ten different images from that gallery and customized themes for each of them (creating eleven themes total). I also enhanced the themes to fit in with a somewhat universal layout for the today screen.
Keep in mind that these themes are designed for Wizard users with the latest Qtek ROM (2.17 or higher) installed! The reason I say this is because the date on the today screen takes up two lines in the newer ROM, and the today screen background reflects the position of the date bar. If you're confused, take a look at the previews below, you'll see what I mean.
Anyway, as I was saying before, each theme has carefully selected colors to best match their backgrounds, and all of them work in both portrait and landscape mode. I tried my hardest to smooth out the gradients that sometimes give problems on PPC screens. Oh, and I also thought of a cheezy name for each one. :wink: The previews along with a ZIP of all the themes are attached to this post, so go crazy. And if you haven't updated to the latest ROM yet, shame on you. Go do it, you won't regret it.
P.S. - If anybody knows how to skin the Phone screen (where you dial the number and everything), PLEASE let me know. It really, really clashes with a lot of these themes...
AND... if anybody knows how to make the date take up only one line, move the clock to the top, and put the battery back at the bottom, that would be amazing. That way I could re-make all these themes so that they could work with EVERYBODY that has a WM5 device!

very nice. just applied the first theme on my exec :lol:

Great job with the themes! I hope you are able to find out about skinning the phone screen and reducing the Date Bar to one line.

Beautiful yanathin! Thanks for putting the effort into these great themes.

very clean look you have going on there.
Are those icons along the bottom just regular shortcuts? If so I'm gonna have to look into how to do that myself.

great work!

Thanks for the compliments everybody! Yes, the bottom basically acts like SBSH iLauncher or SPB Pocket Plus's launcher. It's a single part of the PHM PowerToys ( http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/PowerToys/ ) called "TrayLaunch." You'd be utterly amazed at how fast this device runs WITHOUT SPB Pocket Plus installed, even without a "real" close button.

Amazing themes and even better work yanathin!!

Yes great work !
Thanks

Really nice ones, allready installed, thx !

change background dialpad
I haven't found a way to change the keys of the dialpad yet but i have a simple way to change the background of your dialpad in combination with plain darkgrey keys:
Download the attached file and run it on your mobile to get the darkgrey "keys" from Vodafone, these keys match best with whatever background you want to use:
(file is also at: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Misc/Vodafone_dialpad.zip)
Next you create in MS Paint / Photoshop or whatever program you like, two BMP image files with the following properties, you can use any file as background.
- name: "Bkgnd_Port.bmp" / resolution: 240x268 pixels (portrait)
- name: "Bkgnd_Land.bmp" / resolution: 320x188 pixels (landscape)
Copy these files to the \windows folder on your mobile and overwrite the existing vodafone skin.
After a soft-reset your dialpad has changed!
I changed mine to plain gray:

I love those themes!

for dialpad skins, take a look at http://www.zombienexus.net/

As far as i know it's a cab from German Vodafone. It works perfectly with my Dutch NL ROM, therefor i think it should also work with a WWE ROM because it just gets the language of the ROM-version.

Hey George,
Finally got my Tilt so I am in this forum now. WAD is locking up my device. WA3 is OK but once I start navigating through the pages in WAD, within two minutes I have to SR. Didn't want to do a clean install but may have to and let you know if the problem is still there.

Hi to you to. I don't know if this is the problem but with the meter for storage car I've found that if you pull the storage card out it will throw WAD , so i just shut off if i need to remove the storage card. Other than that a rellocatin of that meter to read something else may be needed

Im not sure what you mean but this is not a psShutXP Skin. It's part of the WAD and is a proper Shutdown, Logoff and Soft Reset with button animation
something that can't be done in psShutXP, it's only a stagnet picture where this is not.

Is there a specific way to Cancel out of this? Sometimes I can get out of it but most times I have to turn off and turn back on. I think a Cancel option would be nice here...

Press and hold on menu then select properties, under Action should be Toggle Dock and under Control it should be Menu. If thats all as it should be, then have you put the folders as i instructed, both as they are into Themes/Desktop/ if you've put them any where else it would not work.
Let me know how you go as i really did make this as easy to put on and work as i could do

hello i have try it but it doesn't work???

Sorry, i´m just a normal user. Works for me on a wizard.
I just copied the DialerRes.dll to the inesoft folder (backup of the original .dll), overwrite the original DialerRes.dll, soft reset and voila, it works perfect.
maybe a dev knows a bit more. There were no other instructions on 4pda.ru.

Can this DialerRes.dll mod be used on inesoft phone 5?

No but mine will, just skinned it as best i could to make it blacker.

Hi Elliotboney, can you please post a screenshot of this? Also, where would the file go? Windows\Program Files\Inesoft Phone? I don't have a file by the same name there to replace. I have DialerResVga.dll even though my phone is HTC TD2 with WVGA.

I tried Elliotboney's skin, but it was not WVGA, so I made my own blacker dialer skin
If you want it, then shut down the running process of Inesoft Dialer.exe and replace the DialerResVga.dll file in \Program Files\Inesoft Phone. No soft reset is needed. Just press the green phone button and voila.

Can you show the skin in "answering mode"? I like the windows default but i can not make it appear with the inesoft. Is there any way that i can use inesoft but with the original WM 6.5 dialer skin? Actually it is the "answering" skin that i liked....

Any Program to modify DialerRes.all ??

[SKIN] DarkDiamond Resco Keyboard

Hi all guys,
this is my first contribution to the community. Hope all Diamond owners/Resco Key users like this...
1) Download the file from HERE and unzip it.
2) Copy the entire folder into "Skin" under your Resco Keyboard folder.
3) Select the DarkDiamond skin from the SIP options panel...
That's all!

...reserved...

hmmm
actually..
i have a stupid idea.. and i guess only i will appreciate it...
is it possible..
to make a pretty transparent keypad? not entirely transparent.. but with that tinge of black to it...
reason is because.. half the time.. the keypad blocks the entire screen!! so unreadable.. at least if its quite transparent.. i can see wad i gg on.. behind the app.. if its too transparent it aint good too.. too complicated...
OR!
a movable keypad.. not one tt is stuck at the bottom.. slides from the side? haha ok i know..wishful thinking..
anyway great job with the black keypad it looks real cool man..

For sure there are no ways to make a movable keypad using resco...moreover this is just a skin and it doesn't affect in any way the fetures of the original program...
Anyhow I can try to make a semitransparent keyboard if you want..!
Maybe next days...stay tuned!

Hi,
There is a problem with the skin, the letter "M" (right beside the "L") does not appear on the keyboard ...
Thank you in advance for your help

Message to delete ... Sorry

Any chance you could upload the file somewhere else? I can't access rapidshare.

is it fixed now?

[SKN] VGA Skins for Standard WM Dialer (Black/Transparent/Sunset + MORE!)

Description updated 08 Nov 2008
I stopped using the HTC Diamond dialer after I found out that it uses 10MB of memory (8MB on some improved ROMs like SwiftBL) at all times and is partly responsible for the device's laggy dialer performance.
The default WM dialer is an ugly grey but after finding this thread about QVGA skins I decided to make my own black skin. I'd like to thank the starter of that thread, Raceit, for helping me to get started with the image files and trying to fix them for me. Cheers dude!
I don't know how to make CABs yet so here's a zip. (EDIT: CAB available in post #3.) The orange colouring in the screenshots was part of my theme, not part of the skin.
To install, first disable the HTC dialer, see post #2 for more details.
If you would like to install the black 3D skin pictured below, the easiest method is to install the CAB provided by mic_888 in post #3. If you plan to use another skin that doesn't have a CAB then I advise installing the CAB anyway, then copying the images files from the ZIP archive into the Windows folder. There are 2 advantages of installing a CAB - firstly so that the image files are unprotected and easier to overwrite and secondly to make uninstallation easier. Just uninstall the CAB to remove whatever skin you are using and revert to standard the standard WM grey skin.
Hint: The Matrix, Flat Black and Sunset skins in this thread feature transparent buttons with different edge colours, feel free to use them with your own backgrounds. It's just a case of replacing the two png images with your own choice of portrait/landscape images
EDIT: Matrix and Flat Black skins added, see post #24 - CAB now added!
EDIT: Sunset skin added, see post #29 - CAB now added!
EDIT: Grey/White skin added, see post #71 - CAB now added!
EDIT: Dark TouchFlo skin by nhvoltagenh, see post #74-#75
Please also check out the skins by holdemdogg, starting at post #49!
Edit: More Skins, good ones too...

Information about using the standard WM dialer
The main drawback of the standard WM dialer is that you cannot use it for video calling. Not an issue for me personally.
The advantages are that it saves almost 10MB of memory, even on ROMs with an optimized dialer, and gets rid of that slight lag when making or answering a call when you're not sure if it's actually going to do anything. A further benefit is that the answer and reject keys are much more difficult to press accidentally, removing the need for an additional locking program (Answerkeys Disabler, TouchLockPro, S2U2, etc.)
The HTC dialer can be disabled using DiamondTweak or Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool. You must also disable the HTC Volume Control if you wish to be able to adjust the volume in-call. The only working method that I know of is to use this CAB here.
Edit: It turns out that disabling the HTC dialer also loses the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar. I had a quick google and found this solution. I've tested it and it works fine on my Diamond. File attached below for convenience.
Edit 2: The developers of the bluetooth icon app have released a new version that's more compatible with VGA! See below.

If anyone has any requests for other colours or designs, let me know. Also please feel free to post your own designs here.

so all i do is run the cab and then 10 mb will be freed up? does this work on the sprint diamond?

Any idea how to undo disable HTC volume control if I plan to go back to default HTC dialer?
Is the cab changing some registry settings?

No you need to disable the HTC dialer and volume control too. See post #2 for details. I don't know enough about the differences in the sprint but I expect so.

Well done, I'd like to try this!
But, as I use skilty's TF3D Matrix theme with it's skinned dialer, I'd like to request a Matrix WM dialer skin, please. For personal use and to share it in the Matrix Trilogy theme resource thread.
Maybe you want to have a go at it? It would be great if you could design one with 'real' 1234567890 digits. Perhaps from one of the free Matrix fonts.. And it would be bonus if you could design another skin with 'actual' Matrix font digits, like these.
Or maybe you can just use skilty's dialer artwork? I could ask skilty. Anyway, TIA!

Thanks Davey101!
I'm waiting for that since a long time!!!

News flash!
The Matrix trilogy ended, lamely, 5 years ago!
I think it might be easiest to use transparent buttons with a simple green border so that the matrix background image is seen through the buttons. I'll see what I can come up with, unless you'd like to have a go?
I don't know how to change the button font, sorry.

I use Vito Winterface....
I have made these buttons but not centered!
(I take the same gif mesure of Black VGA Dialer skin: 86x56, 128x54, 142x56 and 180x54)
If somebody could help me...

Hi all,
Is anyone able to develope a Dialer skin that increases the numeric button sizes, There is a big bar of space at the top of the dialer that could be used for the other buttons we use, Or can we remove the call history list to increase the buttons?

I'm sure it is possible but that would involve replacing or editing the dialer software, not just the skin. The standard software has a fixed layout and we can replace the images used but not change their size or position.
It might be worth looking around for an alternative dialer...
