Hi Guys and Girls
On my N95 8GB I had a lovely camouflage theme with dpm backgrounds and a sort of lumini night sight sort of green. Being ex army I loved it. The only thing I have seen close to it on the desire is the GDE one that you have to pay for (which I have) but it was not a patch on the old n95 8GB one. so was wondering if anyone knows of such a theme or could make one for us Militiary types. Or even point me in the right direction to make one.

As per the title...
All screen shots I've ever seen of the SE edition, have a new style on screen keyboard.
But having tried the various SE ROM's out there, all of them had a normal two colour, black and white keyboard.
See attached screen for how I THOUGHT it was meant to look.
Any ideas anyone?
funny enough then this is the first picture i've seen of SE which have such a keyboard
http://www.brighthand.com/article/Brighthand_Review_Windows_Mobile_SE?site=PPC
here is a review
most likely this keyboard caused by a 3th party addon software
actually the SE on my vga toshiba e800 had a beautiful colored keyboard
I see - anyone know WHICH piece of software or whatever, gives this better looking keyboard? And can you therefore run it on none SE devices too...?
I've seen Resco Keyboard Pro provides a coloured keyboard, plus Buzz_lightyear skinned the keyboard for his WM2003SE CHS 2.20.07 Translation rom.
have a look at that.
maybe it's special for SE on devices which support VGA ?
there are many different onscreen keyboard replacements out there here are a few

I do not have a Colourful keyboard with my Rom fone was from new (Xda IIs)
Mmmm,
Mixed results and opinions here...
Certainly seems there is no standard....
Thanks for the replies folks.
Blue Keyboard Skin
The nice people that did Wisbar Advance do a free keyboard skin.
It's blue and works well on the older roms, but wouldn't work for me on se.
However - it is free
find it here http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/downloads/index.html
RE :Blue/Green keyboard screen
this is my SE keyboard screen
Calling Shadamehr
Aren't you the chap who used to do some stunning Nokia wallpapers? The last I heard someone was buggering about with your site - what are you doing now? Something similar for XDA perhaps?
Hi Mate.
Yeah it was me - owner and creater of the then www.nokia-wallpapers.co.uk (DON'T click folks - not there anymore).
I got SICK to death of the big commercial cons nicking my work and then having the audacity to SELL it on their own sites.
One of them swore blind it was the other way round and I had took the images of THIER site.
So I asked them to explain, if they had it first, and I had pinched them, why or how they just happened to have a whole shed load of images of my girlfriend on their site, before I even had them according to them - and sent full size (watermarked) images of her to prove it...
They went very quiet at that point, and removed THOSE images from their sites, but not my others.
So I just got sick of putting lots of effort into what then amounted to making money for other people, for stuff I owned that I wasn't even charging for myself mate.
Cheers - well remembered too!
Shadamehr
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? No intention of doing the same sort of thing for XDA then, even charging a little for them? I have to say at this point some of Shadamehr's wallpapers weren't the sort of thing you showed your gran at Crimbo dinner!!

Would someone be able to get this skin for the keyboard, it's much more pleasing on the eye.
tried the one from lakeridge software (the wisbar advance people) it didn't work and don't wanna really install a 3rd party app when the current keyboard could be skinned.
Anyone got the know-how to try this? It would open up some new looks on our devices. Its arguably one of the better things in the 6.1 update.

don't think i got your point
like in ultimate launcher?
no i think he means the today screen from wm6.1 smartphones. (which is very nice)
I havent seen it on wm pro
Yes, separate it out and make it an installable cab as a today screen replacement or addition. It looks really nice, and usability is better than the original.
This should be possible since they both are based on the same OS. Just a matter of finding and extracting.. I dont have the know-how, but would love this.
I also have not seen anyone else mention this. That is why I started this thread.
I believe it has been brought up in reference to the T-Mobile Shadow today screen that can usually be found under the keyword "neo theme". I haven't seen any ports myself either and I know I would definitely use it especially if it was the neo theme from the shadow. I would love to install the "Freddy Shadow Neo Black Theme". My daughter had a shadow and damn that theme was nice.
Omg. Yes. I've been looking for a port of it too. I'm so jealous. It looks really nice. But then again, it might look weird since smartphone screens are much smaller.
well it'd be really neat, but since we have rectangle screens it'd be very different for us to have something like that
If anyone is wondering about what this is, or more, here is a blog from one of the WM developers who had a hand in creating this:
http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2008/06/03/customizing-the-sliding-panel-homescreen.aspx
Maybe something like this could be created using TodayLife, I think that's the one I'm thinking of.

Actually, neo is different , thats what shadows used before 6.1. The sliding panels are great to use, but they have lots of limits too. If you duplicate them with another program like TodayLife, then you would have much more room to configure. And you can't add plugins into sliding panels, you can only manipulate the ones included.
Hey I just got a diamond and i was wondering which themes you guys think are the best? Screenshots please!!!
THANKS!!!
ALL THEMES NOT JUST MANILLA!!! THANKS A LOT!!!
personally I like outline, because of its simplicity and it's not a bunch of icons thrown together and badly resized (no offence to everyone that does that, I know it takes a long time to make a theme).
How bout searching for themes in this forum? Lot of screenshots
and for your question: de gustibus et coloribus non est disputandum!
just ainstall "Manila Customizer".
now you can choose by your self wich icons, slaiders, wallpapers, clocks, etc...
make your own favorit theme.
the very best theme EVER for manila is so amazingly wonderful & beautiful & sublime & has rockets that make you take off into 7th heaven & when you get there you realize even the big dude upstairs (if you believe 'it/he/she/what ?' exists) is jealous of this theme (he's still running around with 2 beakers & a piece of string, whilst although nicely decorated with the help from a certain Michealangelo, really doesn't live up to a nice shiny spanking new HTC), then you flash it to the chirping cherubs & man (or woman) they would cream their jeans if they wore jeans but they don't but you get the picture (exciting isn't it !) & even the archangels are astounded, except of course for the fallen one as, well, he knows a bit more about these things than the upstairs crew & has impeccable taste of course (how did he happen to be there you may ask ? Usual monthly round table with the boss, discussions on the state of the universe, discussion on the stupidity of mankind & whether Britney will make another comeback soon, usual sort of thing), anyway, this theme is just so funky that even James Brown was speechless except for a 'yaow erh ugh" which is surely a good sign, anyway, this theme, what is it called & how to find it ?
Ah now that is another barrel of fish ...
I tried making a theme and it went really badly. So i am requesting one. I am 16 so i can't really paypal over money, but i would love a theme based on my highschool. Its a teal/black or white based theme whichever would be easier. This is the schools website: http://www.sd36.bc.ca/fltsec/
For the icons have like school stuff and like for the slider try and use the dragon in the top left corner or some kind of dragon thatt looks similar in color.
Thank You.
bump anyone?
guess nobody can or wants to ..
So you say you want a cup of Joe, or a MilkShake, or some other secret code word for a lil’ something in your PayPal account for your work, creativity and energy? Hey, this NEWBIE is all for it – hell, I’m glad to donate; but I be needed some help!
Where I’m at – right now, the Midwest USA, Omaha Nebraska to be specific.
Where I’m at with my phone / HH device – it is a work issued HTC Touch Pro. I’ve had it about 3 months now, Alltel is my carrier and it came with a CRAP boring, dull grey Theme that can’t be changed, allegedly, when I’m using the Touch Flo3D.
Work offers several carriers; Verizon guys with the same phone have a much cooler “stock” theme – and oh sure, I can mess with the Today setting and get some goop red called Guava Bubbles to linger above and below in the bands, but mostly, it really sucks. Plus, the damn thing is slow – I hit my 4 code password and 1 out of 4 times the damn thing says I have the wrong PW – no I don’t you beyotch, I KNOW my password. Weather? I can UbitchInStein in Upper Mongolia but not the town I grew up in, Boulder Colorado, WTF is up with that?
I know just enough about technology to be dangerous – I can find the ROM versions and all that stuff, navigate config files a little, copy files using Active Sync and so on – and hey, my RingTones rock (http://sites.google.com/site/bcwsite4now/Home/filecabine) I can strip the hell out of a DVD, edit using Adobe Premier Elements and you might laugh your ass off if you know the movie scenes.
But, for the life of me I can’t figure out this deal I downloaded called Manila Editor from Sascha Lange and Dimitry (you guys sound like Russian mob, please don’t kill me) - and now I’m reading this Manila Customizer - Customize Clocks, Icons, Sliders etc [1 Nov] New Version thread from Gramps or Grumps or the Gimp from Pulp Fiction (see Ringtone reference) above and it starts to look like I am getting close – Clocks, Icons, Sliders – hmm, that’s what I want, and really cool ones!!!
So I DL and UZ a bunch of stuff from some thread and now I have some cool looking graphics in a bunch of folders on my PC that look like they work together in a TouchFlo 3D setting, but I have no friggin idea how to get them from my hard drive to my phone without brickin’ the damn phone; remember, work issue phone. {http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2891202#post2891202}
Plus, over at PPC Geeks or some other board, they were all hot on some TouchFlo 3D speeder upper program and steps with a new Stock Market Watcher Icon using the 3G network and a better Weather app; so I PM a dude over there about 45 days ago and he tells me, “yo, newbie, read a bunch of stuff on Google and then PM me back; this is not for rookies.”
Dude, I have 3 kids, all under 6 and a wife who likes me to do dishes once in awhile, read a bunch of stuff on Google and THEN ask for help? No thanks, I’d rather pay your arse. So, the end of my story goes like this – who wants to help me and what is your price?
Can I make my own icons, sliders and clock graphics using PhotoShop or some other program? If so, what sizes should I aim for in each at what resolution? And, what the heck is a Manila anyway?
How do I get all the cool **** on my PC now to my phone? Say I wanted to pick one of the themes, I think, like Panosha Shine 2.2 on my phone and ditch Mister Alltel BoreMeToFngTearsGrey?
What can I do to speed this ***** up? Add the Stock Market Application, and make the Weather App a little bit more relevant to my small Midwest World?
My dream phone, and your personal challenge: A faster HTC Touch Pro with a rocking U2 theme in black, red and grey or white that snags icons from the album All That You Can’t Leave Behind or How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb and a cool clock that uses the font from the album War circa 1982 – hey, I’m old. It will run faster, smoother and have a better Weath App and at least some cool Stock Market app so I can freak out everyday 24/7 as my 401K goes to 187K!
If someone can make all that happen, Monster Milkshakes and Large Coffee all around!
Thanx for reading my rant. Enjoye the lame RingTones.
