Hey
Wondering if anyone out there is/would like to make a skin for S2U2 to make it match the Pointui interface.
At the moment i have Home running, then when a call comes through S2U2 pops up with slide to answer. Would be awesome to skin S2U2 to match the Pointui look, would look great, all matching and what not.
Also, anyone know of a PocketCM Pointui look-a-like skin? Again this would look great.
Thanks!
I'd like a PointUI skin to match S2U2.
PointUI is not skinnable as yet but here's hoping....
When you lock pointui it gives it's own unlocking slider screen
Well someone made a TSK to match the PointUI. All you would need to do is extract the JPG out of the TSK. I was gonna get around to it but haven't been back to the office yet. If anyone has some theme editing software they can get a jump start on it.
Attached is the PointUI today theme.

Yeah buts its real bad. s2u2 is much better and handles incoming calls etc. So untill the Pointui guys improve the locker, a s2u2 pointui theme would be great.
Here's the images I used in the TSK, they were extracted from PointUI:
S2U2 "Pointui wallpaper skin"
Copy these 2 wallpapers to S2U2/GFX.
Yeah we are heading in the right direction.
What about icons and such?
i'll see if i can knock together an S2U2 theme for you guys, but it won't really be top quality, since i need to get to sleep soon. just something to appease the people while someone else who has more time to focus on it can produce a better product.
There's a great tutorial for modifying S2U2 in this thread here.
I'll get to working on a PointUI theme for S2U2 as soon as I finish setting up my Telus branded HTC Touch (Vogue 100)(P3050) for the 5th time. (screwed up registry trying to make TouchPal the default SIP) (Used PIM Backup to overwrite the last good backup with a barebones PIM from the last HR)
here's a theme
Hey Azimuth
Thanks for the theme. Just a few notes as you mentioned its untested, iv tested it and..
- There seems to be a white bar next to the SMS icon
- The Clock font is real choppy
- The slide button has white areas in the top corners where i suppose this should be transparent
- Is it possible to have larger icons for SMS, Emails and Calls, like the Pointui ones.
critiques
will fix
Azimuth21
thanks for producing such a nice theme for s2u2. Everyone is good apart from the slide button, i think the corners should be smoother...lol...
anyways for sharing...
I just created the PointUI Slider, I hope you like it.
And here's how my S2U2 looks like.
PS: The icons dont work.
Here's is a coloured version.
Here's how my S2U2 screen looks like:
Firstly, we appreciate that you guys are impressed by Pointui Home, XDA has some hardcore PDA fans and we know you're a tough crowd. We also know what kind of stuff goes down here, hi to all the Chefs out there.
We know that Pointui Home is limited in areas and other software is needed, but come on guys, you have completely raped the logo. Its been designed so its square, it would fit in nicely. That looks like Xenu is about to land.
If you guys are serious then step up. Contact us and ask, let us know what kind of sh!t is going down here. Maybe we can at least meet you half way so the result is decent.
We'll try and get a setting in to have the lock look for an external app like we did with 1.01b and the Music icon, mail, etc.. in the next build.
As you can tell from our forum Joel and I are pretty busy and given we do this in our own time after work so we might not get back to you for a bit. Please have some patience.
Also, please if anyone in these forums works out how to get something to work and there are people in our forum with the same problem we'd appreciate you hook them up.
Thanks cstewart for the donation and Dorothy sends her regards
Cheers,
Shane...

This is a legitimate concern, it's your trademark and I would be peeved as well. However go easy on mushipkw, I'm sure his including your logo was out of admiration and not with the intent to desecrate it
You should include trademark usage guidelines on your website or completely forbid it.

Hi guys,
This is an almost completed theme for rlToday and Ultimatelaunch. The top is rlToday, bottom is UL. Thanks to bluemetalaxe for his great clock, which I used to pattern the icons from. The basic layout I sort of patterned after FocalDesigns last two rl skins. Everything is finished except cleaning up a few details in the XML and UL ini. Anybody else got something new their working on? Let's see it and let me know if you like this skin, or how I can improve it.
Finished, hope you like it!
Looks great.
waiting.....

Great Skin, just a suggestion all of your examples have a Analog Clock theme you should carry this over to your S2U2, so the Theme continues to carry through. Just to show you I did one for one of my own themes.
Keep up the good work.
Good looking theme, but what about VGA devices?
Files uploaded!
Go to post #1 to download the zip file.
Win_XP, I'll try to resize for VGA, but I have no VGA device, so no guarantees, but give me a few days and I'll see what I can come up with.

I've started developing a theme for ThrottleLauncher, and I would like to know your opinion.
As a small explanation of the theme I could say it has 3 main rows + footer.
- In the first row you find a simple clock plus info on your next appointment in your agenda.
- On the second you get the contacts that you assign to the favorites category.
- The third row provides 7 shortcuts that you can personalize with your own apps + 1 for all of them.
- The footer brings up the following pages:
Contacts;
Weather;
Calendar;
Settings.
Not all of it finished so, one of this days I will post a cab to install it in your device.
Hope to ear from you...
Thats a very nice theme. I suggest you wait a bit before developing it all, because APBilbo said he would release v0.9.2 soon this week or the next. IMHO, I would say it's nice except the background doesn't really go well with the icons and some of the icons are pixelated. Besides that, it is a very good theme.
Kraize
The graphics? Yeah... Ok.

Humm, I wasn't aware that the new version was coming out, but I agree with you. I'll wait a bit.
About the graphics, I also agree with you and as you were the first (and only) so far to refer that, what do you suggest? The icons on the apps are the ones from the .exe plus a background that I found out in some other theme (sorry to the author, but don't remember who you are ). The photos on the contacts row are from the phone's outlook.
Would you like to manage the graphics? I feel much better with the code lines...
Okay. v0.9.2 just got released today. I see a black line below the start button. I think you should place the clock a little lower. The icons are nice, but they don't really match the feel of it. I suggest you either change the background or change the icons to something like the iPhone icons, unless you don't like the iPhone icons, I mean totally your choice.

Very good to see the author of this great app reading my thread!!
Your help will be for sure of great use, but first I will try to "learn" your new theme and the changes in the code and then if I get really stuck in some problem I will be thanked for your help. I will!
Finally, thanks for this great piece of software!
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.
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

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!

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!

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?

so please.. anyone with an old vga device, send it my way!
or if anyone knows a really good emulator.. i am using microsofts sdk, but it doesnt look good/right
