I am using the T-Mobile (USA) MDA (HTC Wizard), with the last official T-Mobile (2.26?) ROM, WM5.
I downloaded and installed a third-party dialpad skin, Zombie carbon QVGA (http://www.zombienexus.net/portal/GL_Display.asp?SEC=3&EntryID=464)
It looks cool, better than the T-Mobile skin for sure, or default Windows. Easier to read, with white text on black background.
Except for one problem:
The numbers are not on the buttons! They are far to the right, and a little down, of where they should be. They are actually closer to the next button to the right, than to the one they are supposed to sit on.
Can anyone tell me how to fix that? Something in the registry? Why are the numbers not lined up on the buttons?
How can I move the numbers far to the left, and a little up, so they are centered on the buttons?
P.S. I would have posted this to a forum at the Zombieskin site, but I don't see a forum there. And I have seen posts about these skins on this site, so I'm asking here. Hopefully someone here will know something about using these alternative dialpad skins.
Anyone know how to fix this?

I have the T-Mobile 2.24 rom with the default windows dialer skin.
When using smartdial I notice the contacts names I have used/called appear black; where as everyone I haven't, appears white. I thought since the white is easier to see it would be better reversed.... I was hoping there was a registry key I could change but I searched and couldn't find exactly what I was looking for.
Anyone know how to edit these colors?
Thanks,
Chris
Hi guys, just wondering which dial pads people are using/likeing.
I have downloaded several Iphone style ones, but to be honest im really thinking of going back to the standard one. I havent found one yet that has smartdial working, lets you video call, and the keypad work in a call.
Just wondering what other poeple are using (as most of the Iphone threads are getting very difficult to keep track of now, and I fancy something a bit different)
Cheers all
Surely someone must have a few to recomend?
Are you looking for something like this?

I disabled my smart dialer because I find it a pain in the neck.
Admittedly, it doesn't look quite as nice, but at least I don't have to sit there waiting for it to search through my contacts while I wait for the blasted thing to figure out what I *might* be typing in (and if I WAS after a contact, I would have used the contacts app anyway....)
I'm using the one from zombienexus that ericc191 suggested, and so far it's working perfectly. I believe it fits your criteria (unless smartdial is supposed to do some other funky stuff that I have no idea about).
The only thing is, though, it doesn't skin the speed dial and call history, so currently I'm stuck with the ugly blue buttons from the standard dialpad without any idea how to replace them.
Make sure you backup everything though.
i have a matter with this dial pad , not use for my PDA

I have never used this dial pad so I'm not exactly sure but.. I've learned that if you toy around with your phone enough, eventually you'll get it the way you want it.

Which one did you install? Mine is the exact one there. I think it's the black extra for 3g video.
Thanks guys
Does anybody know if T-Mobile have changed anything on their version of the Touch Plus? For instance have they gone to work on all the icons and made them that ghastly pink colour which they insist on using? If they have is it much trouble to change them?
Hmm, I think I've managed to answer my own question by reading this thread.

Can anybody confirm if this works for the Dual?
I have the same 'problem' with my t-mobile branded Niki. For as far as I've searched this forum and other websites concearning the niki i've found nothing yet. I've found something in the Elf forum but the menu is slightly different. Maybe someone with an unbranded niki could post all the .brn and .png files from the windows dir? You could really help us a lot!
Actually it's not too bad. Home screen is basically all grey/black and the touch-flow interface is the same, except for the blue highlights on the standard HTC icons are pink on the MDA Touch plus.
Nowhere near as offensive as the Orange homescreen, but I guess that's easily turned off.

Thought of that before, didn't work I didn't do a soft-reset but just pulled out my battery I guess T-mobile modified the main ROM.

Agreed - a pretty subtle make over from t-mobile, especially on the home screen. A mate has an orange kaiser and virtually anything worth having has been mucked about with.

Hey all,
I'm still getting my feet wet in the whole editing the Mobile Shell thing. I've actually blended a couple of other peoples skins to make something that works well for me.
However, the one thing I REALLY want to do is have the backlight icon show up on my NOW screen. It is, apparently, possible. I found a skin on the french site that has the backlight there:
http://www.actualitemobile.com/forum/index.php/topic,1654.msg22320.html#msg22320
Anyone ever do this? Any idea how to make it work? I've downloaded that skins and picked through the xmls a bit but I can't find anything that shows exactly how it's added it.
None of the new keyboards from the diamond or opal grew on me, I always had the best experience with the phonepad so I updated the look by reversing the images in the dll files to go along better with the diamond/manila look that I currently have on my phone figured I'd post and share here for anyone else interested.
**Edit**
Not being good with art Ive made a couple attempts to try and replicate the dotted background and manila button style, its not coming out as nicely as I would like it to so Im posting these images. If someone can skin them manila style i can finish the VGA version. All that need be done is the background and buttons, they can be left blank as Ill have to edit them anyway. I need a set of each. One normal style like the diamond dialer, dotted background and white buttons and a dotted background black buttons for when the buttons are pressed.
Great idea!
I have missed using phonepad-thanks for your work!

Ahhh...where were you a month ago? I was missing my phone pad for T9 when I flashed a Manilla 2D Rom, and now the compact QWERTY has gotten comfy. Now I have to try your new phone pad!
Thanks mate. Looks great.
Thx,will try it out
also forgot, anyone having trouble installing or getting it to work it requires the sdkcerts since I had to resign all the dll files.
I want it at VGA... :-(
Actually there is a PhonePad in VGA. It works great but the skin is a little boring.
Still the fastest input method IMO.
Is it possible to get this diamond skin in VGA ?
If you guys get me the vga cab or oem I'll rework the dll files, might as well do something to contribute around here as much as I benefit from xda lol. Shouldn't be much quality loss upsizing these images as they're pretty basic but if there is any quality loss, I'll just redo the images will just need more time, find what you can and post it.
This is wonderful! Thank you so much.
Is it possible you resize the phonepad in landscape for 400*240?
