There are many skins created for the great PCMKeyboard by xda-developer Tene, but few have been made for VGA devices (Mine is a Dell x51v).
Here is one I made, modified from the iPhone_big skin by Underwaterdub. My graphics are a little rough, as it is only my second attempt at skinning. Let me know how it works on your device. This was created for v.9b and not tested for previous versions. (Edit: does not display well in v.10)
If you have a VGA skin that you would like to share, please post it here.
(Note: screen shot made before the letters Z and Y switched for US keyboard layout).
It looks ugly... :/ Sorry, but I can't say that this is nice...
Actually the best looking VGA theme is Touch VGA theme made by me...
This is official VGA version of default PCMKeboard Touch theme....
No way! My VGA theme is much much better, it owns all other PCM kb themes out there.. lol Just kidding.
Yeah, the skin is very dirty, the images are misaligned. Nice try anyways.

Actually no..
I don't have sources to make VGA skins based on iPhone,
and don't have a time to start new project...

It needs more optimization for VGA devices like Universal. I tried your skin with v.10.
Come on.....I said it was rough.... but "Ugly"?
I admit, Touch VGA is actually much Much MUCH better. I had hoped this would turn into a place where we can share VGA themes, and/or even improve on each other's work, not just a place to be critical about my attempt at scaling another persons layout. Hey, posting such an "ugly" theme should encourage others to show how it is should really be done. <:nudge> The topic title is "VGA skins for PCM Keyboard (post them here) ", not "Bash NonPaqs Ugly Skin". I was not in any way posting mine to encourage others to use it, instead I was posting it to show that anyone can do it. I showed you mine, now show me yours.
Also, dont even try it with v.10. It does not work with layout mods in the latest version of PCM Keyboard. Now THIS IS REALLY UGLY!!
(Edit: I just looked back at opening post.... I guess I asked for it by saying "Let me know how it works on your device". I will try to tweak it if it is possible. BTW... is there a VGA iPhone look-alike keyboard skin out there?)
Try this VGA skin......
I don't have a VGA device, so it might not be perfect....
@nonpaq
you may use this one as the base for further fine tuning...
Hope you all enjoy...
@all
could someone post a screenshot???
the name should be iPhone not iPod. You have to excuse me... It's my third glass of wine....
Here is a screenshot of Underwaterdubs own VGA version.
The second screenshot is of Mr. Grouch's wonderful Touch_VGA skin, which is the official VGA version recommended by Tene.
Anyone know why both are displaying too far down in portait mode, partially blocking the soft key bar? This is in v.10. They both allign perfectly in v.9.
Also, you can see that neither displays well in VGA Landscape.
(It looks like the keys get scaled, but not the backcound images.)
Fixed TouchVGA in Landscape
I resized the background jpg in Touch_VGA.skin to 640 pixels, and now it displays correctly in landscape. I still dont know why it is displaying too far down.

These are nice variations of the Touch skin ( specifically found here ). , but I dont see where it says they are VGA. Do you know if they have been officially fixed for v.10 landscape?
I manually fixed my modified Touch_VGA (slightly taller button version) to work in landscape by expanding the background image to 640 pixels.
BTW, Anyone else see the keyboard displaying too low on their VGA device? I'm wondering if this is just on my Dell Axim x51v.
(My skin is not yet ready for release, but here are some screen shots)
Edit: I added the skin for your review (note I use sapnish+.layout. It will look different depending on layout used). Rename .skin.zip to just .skin
If you really like BIG keys, here is a v.10 VGA mod of pcmk_bigblack skin found here on pocketcm phorums.
The only problem I see is that when using the tap-n-hold symbol keys, there is a noticible delay for the keyboard to darken and the extra keys to display. This is probably due to repainting such a tall keyboard.
This started out as an exercise in W?BIC...
I present to you "Wooden Big Keys" for VGA!
Based on BigBlack, which was based on Touch.
(can be used with any standard layout file. Attached is the only the skin file. Just rename .zip to .skin )
ugly... just kidding.
looks good. thanks for making vga skins.
Original Touch_VGA fixed for v.10
In case you havent heard, Mr Groch has fixed his Touch_VGA skin to display properly in v.10 landscape. The difference between this one and the one I posted earlier is that his is better
Find it here in the PocketCM forums.
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,
I've developed quite a few themes in Wisbar and WAD, including the most authentic iphone skin and the vista theme modified from a theme posted here.
I'm looking for a new challenge and would love to have some ideas for a unique interface. Any ideas are most welcome.
if someone has a drawing or sketch to share, please do so that I can make and share with everyone!
Cheers
go for Manila
go for manila - TouchFlo2
My idea is WM7 Theme (not sure fake or not but its nice )
thanx for the suggestions
how about something new? we have a wonderful cube by Slither that has the potential of being moded into manila.
WM7 is for gesture based devices so that's out of the question till we have gesture based hardware!
How about retaining the same look and feel of our current WM devices but allow flick and scroll/gestures and transitions?
Like scrolling today items vertically or horizontally using flick and scroll. And when I click messaging for example, it will have a nice transition before it shows up. In other words, it's like rewriting the WM shell.. hehe.. I'm just dreaming..
We dont need any hardware... wm7 uses the camera to recognize the gestures... wm7 will work for any wm6 device...
wm7 ui is very cool to see
+1 WM7 kicks ass ^^
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
Can someone more clever than me please create a Yota TouchFlo 3D skin.
I did a mock up in photoshop of what it could look like and provided Yota icons I could find.
Obviously some icons will need to be created from scratch or use the existing ones and modify them (eg SMS, MAIL, WEATHER, SETINGS etc). The icons need to match so need to be silver in colour and 3D block looking (deep).
Can't wait to see what you guys come up with.
Good idea. I had a similar idea to make a scin for icontact and idealer. I have made it. If i had this icons then... I was searcing for hours to get them.
Really hope someone can make this touchflo skin. It will make all interfaces consistant with yota contact and touchflo.
Why not a TF3D Yota skin to match TF3D?

You're understanding my statement wrong The original thread was to do that. I was telling people to do the opposite since it would be easier.
Is there any Yota theme out there?
I was searching something like this.. but didn't found anything.
