[May 15] Pureblack Phonecanvas Skin (preview) - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi,
Didn't do anything on xda for a while, except reading.
I want to do some work for windows mobile again so here I am with a concept.
I remember when I used to use a Prophet, a lot of people wanted black skins for everything because it's supposed to save your battery. So i decided to do so.

Is this something you guys would like to see on your phones or not?
I'm just looking for something to skin, most of the programs are already skinned here on xda and I feel like it's getting a bit over-saturated with designers.
So if you don't like this idea, give me a suggestion to skin another program.
If you do like it, please let me know.

I realy like this idea fo a simple black dialer. and looking at it it would go perfect with ur OUTLINE FOR TF3D.. im using tf3d2 otherwise id still be using that theme. a couple questios though.. what dialer is it based on? will it be vga, will it have s2a and will it have a curtain like ur MINIMAL PHONE CANVAS ?

Totally Black! i love it

Black always looks good...nice work!

It is a damn good idea. But there is always things to skin Such as G-Alarm, titanium, s2p, s2u2, etc.. I would love to see more of your work since it's nice. I hope you do update your Outline theme for the new TF3D2 and add some new icons.
Kraize

looks nice, if you can skin that way this one, it would be great for me

I'll cancel all my skinning until HTC gives us a proper phonecanvas for wm 6.5.
6.5 is the future and 6.1 is no longer comming back to my device.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Dang, I thought this looked really cool...
They might be coming out with a 6.5 device soon, don't they have a conference next month?
Edit: It's June 24th.

i want the old preview D:

Black, my fav. color... This skin would be a HIT... its black and its simple ... im already lovi'n it

Good to see you're skinning Paul.
I'm using your minimal dialer in my ROMs, and wouldn't mind the black version.
;]
HTC should be pushing a new phonecanvas shortly, but we'll need to port it to VGA, since it's most probably gonna be in WVGA.

Flashing addict to skinning addict.

All thats left is to find some good meter replacements for ilauncher(any one know were to find some send me a msg) and I'm good to go.
Edit: The weather panel icons are animated. Gives it a little spice my son like to watch the lightning.
How do you do it?
Hi Chrisryn
How did you manage to make ur phone skin to look so cool? Could you tell me what program you are using? If you have some time, maybe you give a simple 123 tutorial for a NOOB like me.
Thanks in Advance. Cool Skin
There are 5 programs that you see in that ss.
1. Wisbar advance with Vistabetatwo skin
2. Weatherpanel with Finis2 skin
3. Ilauncher with icons by lokutos
4. Phone alarm with [email protected] skin
5. I also have wisbar advance desktop thats were 2-4 are shown.
If anyone knows an easy way to skin the dial pad or a good place to get dial pads that will work with wm6 drop me a line also a good skinable calc would be nice.

And, coming from Oklahoma City, I bet those animated tornado icons look pretty cool too eh?
Here in WI, all I can animate is cows....
pretty nice, maybe we can do a gallery with today screens from people, and share skills in tunning today...
yeah luckly haven't had to spend much time in the tornado shelters in the last couple of years but they said that will change this year. Looking foward to the icons.
sinmae: I was thinking a site dedicated to skinning the today screen with skins for different apps. Kinda like wincustomize. But I am only a cnc programer not a web desinger. So I don't have the skill.

ANyone want to skin SPB Time for a Diamond theme?

To all you awesome skinners, here's an app that has yet to be skinned with that cool Diamond look. Anybody up to the challenge?

No takers? com'on someone out there must use SPB time other then me?
Close Enough?
If you replace the BG.png file in your Spb Black 47 installation directory with this BG.png, you get this skin. It's not a perfect diamond but it does match better.

But this is enough for me, this will work. thanks... Now I can make anything for them...

Hi,

[Project]The Black Project!!

So, before ppl start flaming.....
This has nothing to do with skincolors
I am feeling the itch to start working my photoshop skills again...
Before anyone ask about ETA or anything like that:
There is no ETA.
This can take days/weeks/months
Im just curious about the interest for this. It used to be a popular thing, but times change.
Black project means that I want to skin the basic apps like the dialer, comm manager, manila and a few more from the dull (in my eyes) white into a more mysterious (!!!) black
This is just a test I made, it has alot of work, but its a start:

Lookin' good, I'd be a user.
Yeah I agree, looking real smooth
Wou! Rely amazing! I love it! Cant wait to have it.
But that "call" button would be look nice at green. (imo)
Scuse me for asking, but is that just an inverted greyscale image of the Blackstone dialer?
All-around black'n white - I would like
I always try to find "black background and white symbols" no-nonsense themes for all my phones.
Very Very nice! I must have it!
Hahahha. Damn Itje. Shouldn´t you spend some time with me chatting instead of colourizing Apps??
ITsItjeBlack
It is NOT unpopular..IT is loved by many...BLACK!!!!!

mostly it is, but if you think this work is "just" then go ahead and try
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice
Looks great
I'm still sticking to stock atm and learning as much about wm atm. Preparing to port over soon
Nice...I'll definetly have this if you do spend the time (I looked at the images for the dialler myself and there was sooooo many)
I did a quick fix by swapping the buttons around so that the dialer was black (You can get from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459260 )
@itje: i will probably join in and reskin some stuff like the sbp-panel similar to your work here. i will start in the next days and maybe we can customize near all aspects of the x1 with a one nice black style/skin (if you dont mind).

[CONCEPT UI] SONNAR USER INTERFACE - poinui developers needed !

}
THE ORIGINAL TOPIC IS HERE: http://community.pointui.com/topic/concept-ui-sonnar-user-interface
I am looking for experienced POINT UI community developers that can help me create new looking interface based on pointui. The idea is to create not only the theme but totally new applets that match the user interface.
If you are intrested in this project and you are good with POINT UI scripting please send me PM with:
a)Your username.
b)Name of the applet you would like to work on.
Currently everything you see is of course just a CONCEPT and of course not everything is possible to be done at the moment - like bars on the top but it is all planned by POINT UI team for the future releases ( I guess that what they said ).
Curently I am working on layouts for other applets:
a) CALENDAR APPLET with appointments
b) WORLD APPLET
c) MUSIC PLAYER APPLET
d) RSS APPLET
CREDITS FOR THIS UI GOES TO:
newone757 from Lakeridge forums and his great SONA WAD theme. He is the author of the top bars and a lots of Icons I am using and he inspired me to make this UI.
Imrik for the wallpaper and some icons
The author of Stickers Icon Pack.
Congratulations, the concept looks ****ing good! I'm looking forward to see this implemented
The thing is that POINT UI developers gave us great engine and the tools to create it. It is not like HACKING TOUCH FLO 3D to do some minor changes. We finally have toys to make a kick ass UI.
this will be one of the greatest things to happen!!
If only i could script...
hi,there i', new bee in here,,i like this one ..when it will come? i like to try on my device,,tx great job..
This looks very very very very very very veryyyyy nice! I really hope this becomes a reality!
Will this be QVGA compatible?

lol im hoping it will be in qVGA myself lol ^^,
It looks very nice! But the concept doesn't seem to be very finger-friendly? Keep the usability in mind and i'm willing to pay for this!

have a look at pointui home2 "usability" and you'll understand what we're talking about here
I'm willing to test it, and do french translations (little contribution, but..i'm here)

Black and White Touchflo 3D Theme [Request]

I know i'm so going to get flamed for this..... I'm looking for the HTC black touchflo theme, like the one that comes with the unbranded phones. To put simply, I want my phone to go from this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
To this:
Yes, yes, I know.. "search", it's been asked for before, I understand. I can't find it. I've searched until Google hates me
I'm running the stock AT&T ROM with Touchflo 3d v2.1. I know someone out there knows how to do what I want to do. Please help! Thanks so much
Just get a custom ROM that doesn't come with Sense, and look up the sense 2.1 cab. It installs sense 2.1 and the default theme is the Rhodium one. Oh and T-Mobile defaults with the black and white one I believe, not only unbranded ones ;p.
The filename is called something like fi. sense 2.1 for WM6.1.cab.
That's my only solution :/.
Find eras2r's Sense2.1 ROM. Pretty much what you need I suppose and probably the best 2.1 ROM for the Tilt2. Might have to change the slider icons, though but tghat's only a cab away
Thanks for the help guys, what I did was just flash the OEM Unbranded HTC ROM. It has sense 2.1, and I just installed a slider .cab. I didn't know if it would work, seeing as I had a branded tilt 2. Problemo solved! And I get my weather on the home screen now. Sense 2.1 isint as pretty as 2.5, but it sure is a lot faster/smoother.
Is it possible to get that black and white touch flo for my Sprint TP2 running the stock Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Sense? I've been looking everywhere for this particular slider.
Id like to open this back up for discussion as well. Anyone have any solutions?
