With Wisbar Advanced 2 you could also skin it out with OS X.

iPhone skins
This is probably a very dumb question, but how do you install claunch skins after you unzip them? After unzipping iPhone for example, there are 12 bitmap icons; iPhoneAlarm has a folder with some more bitmap icons, and a .skn file?! How does one proceed from there? I tried to drag these files to my pocketpc (under ActiveSync) but that did not worK?!
Also in a similar context, can I install theme files (.tsk) in the MY DOCUMENTS folder in the SD card? and not in RAM? I just did this, but when I look at my x50v under Settings>Today I only see what came with the axim (Dell Default, Guava Bubbles and Windows Default)! I cannot see my other .tsk files that are in My Documents BUT in the SD card! Did I do something wrong? Isn't it better to have the .tsk files not in RAM to save space? and is there anything that would automatically rotate through the .tsk files, like a screensaver?
Thanks for any advice/suggestions,

Delete (I think this is right) the init.ink from StartUp in the Windows folder.
I also have the problem with the PhoneAlarm background.
Am I the only one that is able to get the phoneAlarm work with the carbon fiber background?!
This guy is having the same problem, but he solved it in a .. weird way. Others are having problems too. Let me know if you've found a solution.

iPhone without the Phone Alarm Plugin
I made my iPhone screen without the Phone Alarm plugin, since it looked to be a duplication of icons already on the screen.
However, I did change one thing -- instead of 32x32 icons, I resized them to 48x48 in order to take up more of the screen's real estate.
Then, to complete the skinning, I added Wisbar's Windows Vista Portable Edition Skin from the Lakeridge forums.
This is what I ended up with:

I've to change the extension or what ?
2) the 4 icons on the bottom side are only pics without shortcuts to the programs, isn't it ? othrwise how to make them runnable ?

I modified some of the Windows Mobile 6 dialer skin files to change the appearance. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but it doesn't look like there are any dialer skins for WM6 yet that works 100%. I tried the PaulyA skins, but some of the hardware buttons didn't work right. Anyway since I was doing this for my phone I thought I would see if anybody would be interested in using these as well. I was able to change the background image and buttons. However I was not able to find how to change the size of any of the buttons. Below are some of the screen shots I grabbed. Plus I can list the appropriate files so anybody else can make their own. The only problem I ran into was that whenever I changed the color of a button it gave me those purple corners. So I just need to spend more time in Photoshop to make sure the corners are the exact color the phone needs to make them transparent. But if you make your own buttons then its easier to make the transparent part the correct color.
Opinions?
I'd be all over either of the two black skins you have there...
awesome!!
These look great... ive actually been looking for some dialer skins that work for WM6 i got mb edition running. So what are the files? and if anyone else knows how to make the buttons bigger that would be cool... if u tell me the files.. i can try to edit them in photoshop also. im not a pro.. but i know a thing or two.
I've attached two skins. The Black.zip is the one pictured above that has the white looking rings around the buttons and the Clear.zip has no border. Also the Clear.zip lacks any background. However you can find it in the Black.zip file or use your own.
These two skins are complete and should work in both portrait and landscape modes. Make sure you back up your existing files before hand. You should be able to simply copy the original files directly from the Windows folder on the phone. To install these files on your phone copy them somewhere like your memory card and then use a file utility like Resco File Explorer to overwrite the files in the \Windows\ folder and soft reset.
Here is the list of the files. The naming convention seems to be fairly intuitive. "Port" and "land" designations are obvious. The "up" images are what you see all the time and the "dwn" are what you see when you press them.
--------------------------
dlrback_land.png--------->Background for the dialer*
dlrback_port.png
dlrbtndef_dwn_land.gif--->**
dlrbtndef_dwn_port.gif
dlrbtndef_up_land.gif
dlrbtndef_up_port.gif
dlrbtnend_up_land.gif---->This is the "End" button
dlrbtnend_up_port.gif
dlrbtntalk_up_land.gif---->This is the "Talk" button
dlrbtntalk_up_port.gif
dlrbtn_dwn_land.gif------>The rest of the buttons are the actual number keys
dlrbtn_dwn_port.gif
dlrbtn_up_land.gif
dlrbtn_up_port.gif
*One trick I used for the dialer background was to take the Default_stwater_240_320.gif and Default_stwater_320_240.gif image files from the Windows folder (when using the default theme). Then take them into Photoshop and adjust the color to match your theme. When done save them as dlrback_land.png and dlrback_port.png.
**These dlrbtndef buttons are the ones on the right side that give you your arrow back and speed dial buttons.
I hope that helps. I'd like to see what others come up with.
Any chance of you pulling the files together into .CABs?
Clear and Black CABS
I took the liberty of putting these in a CAB file. You can uninstall these if you don't like them.
I have tested these cabs and they work finr. But I am NOT liable for anything that might happen by using these cabs.
Thanks cyberdrakula! I've never made cab files before.
Flat Black Theme and Dialer
This is one CAB file that has the ALLBlack theme and the black dialer from raceit. You are able to uninstall this if you don't like it and a soft reset thereafter will set it back to default.
If you have installed the CAB file for the DIALERS from the ABOVE POST, PLEASE UNINSTALL IT BEFORE INSTALLING THIS CAB.
This is a BETA release as I still have to figure out why the black background won't set on the reset the first time. The FIX is to select the Allblack theme on "settings/today". You might have to select another theme and and select the AllBlack.
The Dialer graphics are from Raceit and the AllBlack theme is from somewhere in this forum I forget where.
No warranties or guarantees given for anything and I am NOT liable for anything that might happen to you device or should you have a flat tire after installing this CAB.
I wanted to throw up a few more complete dialer skins. Please check the post below for the zip files. (I seriously need to learn to make cab files.)
Here's the dialer skins pictured above.
Here's my first attempt at a cab file. This is the Black v2 in a cab form. Please let me know if this works and I can update the last few I zipped up.
Thanks.
Edit: The Black v2 is on the bottom of the first page in cab form...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1154824&postcount=10
Here's my personal modification that's similar to the blue one Raceit pictured in his first post (4th picture). I wanted a dialer skin that matched the rest of WM6. I tried to match the buttons as close to the taskbar as I could.
Looks nice BBowermaster! What do you guys think of this one? It seemed like a good idea, but I think it still needs something more.
WM6 Theme/Dailer (Wizards/HERMES)
I have created these a Theme & Dailer cab. I am going to do somemore dark themes as I am into them. Any ideas or requests are welcome. Raceit, you're a BAD BAD person as you've got me started on this and it is taking away from a couple of apps (business related) I was working on for myself.
Tested on Wizards & HERMES
-------------------------------
The main dailer graphics I used to create this were Raceit's clear dailer files. The main reason I turned this into a cab was for it to be able to uninstallable in case you want to.
I still have to figure out why the theme won't set on the reset the first time. The FIX is to select the cyberdrakula theme on "settings/today". You might have to select another theme click OK go back & re-select the cyberdrakula theme again.
No warranties or guarantees given for anything and I am NOT liable for anything that might happen to you device or should you have a flat tire after installing this CAB.
Can someone please make a cab of Raceit's blue dialer? I would be very thankful.
I just updated my post on the first page for the blue skin so its a cab file now.
Sorry about that Cyberdrakula!!
Hey people, what reg keys and dlls are concerned with skinning the dialpad and pin entry pad??

White Background
Any idea why my background is staying white, I have tried several different cabs and even copied the black background, but it stays white. The background files are black, dlrback_land.png and dlrback_port.png, so I don't know what is going on.

Couple questions... Is it also white when you switch the phone to landscape mode? Also if you browse to your Windows folder and open up those two files are they the correct looking images or all white?
Hello,
I wonder if anyone is able to/wants to help me?
I am looking for confirmation of the manila file names for CHT 1.8... (I have been browsing the forum but can only find cabs and not the file names for this)
I have been looking through the files by using cfc-gui but I can’t confidently identify the right files!!
I just want to personalise my own files, initially to achieve a transparent home screen, but ongoing to something else.
The clock files are identified on the CHT thread, but not the bars/panels.
I think I have identified the following files (for not-pressed bars), but on modifying them and loading them onto the phone (in the Windows folder, and then restarting manila, and also soft resetting) they don’t all seem to change as I expected.
These ones do work:
0B7F6995_manila = appointment expand/pull-down grip
30D807DA_manila = thin bar with rounded corners to ‘finish’ lower appointment
0d61c97c_manila = date bar
740dc76b_manila = alarm bar
These ones don’t work:
43A0289_manila = appointment list bar
77BAF4F0_manila = notifications full bar
(if these aren’t what I think they are, then what have I changed by modding these files??!!)
I can see from various mods on this forum that people are able to change the files I want to work with, so I must just be playing with the wrong files.
Any help would be good, and it’ll save me time by further searching many pages of the forum and struggling to identify the files in the Windows folder (which is proving very difficult it seems).
Thank you.
it would be good if there was a manila library on here somewhere - cfc-gui is a really good tool, but it's just not doing a proper job for me on this occasion!!!
PS: I have current version 1.66 standard UK ROM on HD2, non-network specific. My CHT 1.8 is working fine, no issues, I just want to mod it a bit!
Agree with the above would be good if there was a list available as took me ages just to find the default cover art for music and couldn't find the mini music player background. I'm using cfc-gui as well and there's as many/if not more files under unknown as there are with headers which makes it really difficult. I've just been going through them 1 by 1 and I'm going to try edit a few on the weekend so will let you know what I find.
Cheers - any help on this would be appreciated. There are loads of mods for this already, but not many sharing info!!
I'll keep on looking...
In the meantime, if anyone else can assist - much appreciated it will be!
If anyone is interested, I found what I was looking for:
10376502_manila = notifications bar
438A0283_manila = appointments bar
I've attached all of these files as transparent in the .zip below. The only one that isn't fully transparent is the pull-down grip which I have added little grip dots to it so you know where it is, otherwise transparent.
** Back-up original files from the Windows folder before overwriting! **
the clock white background remains white, Any updates of others ?
nice work, i liked it, when ever I flash a new rom I was installing transparencies.. not anymore...
I hope you keep up with this threat...
can you show a picture of this please!!
many people will be much help if you put screenshot..if you ask someone's help try to help someone also and someone will apreciate yours

Depending on which files you edited..... you might be able to get them back by installing/uninstalling/reinstalling CHT..... maybe.....
Which particular files do you need...??
if by chance I have them backed up Ill post them for you... I dont have that many though....
There is a link in the FAQ section of the CHT thread's main post from Co0kie, for transparencies and some graphics restore cabs.
That should help answer some of your questions.
If you have any other questions still after looking at those cabs and files, let me know.
You can go directly to that thread to the first post where the link is, by clicking the CHT banner in my sig., or clicking the link above will take you there directly.
thanks for the responce guys! i'm actually not sure what manilla files they are lol, i just know there the ones which make the calendar and call history transparent. i've tried re-installing CHT but transparency is still there, it wasnt a cab see. i overwritten the original files with zip file on page one. but would like the glass panel look which dinik created. installing dinik theme the transparent calendar/call history is still there. someone who backed up the manila files before installing that zip file could help... were are they!! lol

I have attached the original files that you highlighted a couple of posts above...
in the zip file are the original files if you want to drop them in manually, or a cab file for if you want to do it the easy way - all it does is place the two manila files in the windows folder, and it's not going to appear in the applications list either (you can't 'uninstall it'), its a one-way cab.
Thanks for all your help guys but looks like its not to be. they were the right manila files but after getting rid of the transparency`s and installing diniks theme everything has the glass panels but calender/call history. maybe the rom i`m using is affecting the theme (cleanex rom). but again thanks for your help guys.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sure out there are some tutorials, but its actually not that hard:
You will need the program cfc_gui and a program like gimp or photoshop. You have to find the 5E90131C_manila file in your windows directory and copy it to the sd card and after that put it somewhere on your pc.
Open cfc_gui and open the folder the manila file is in. Than in the lower right corner select save as and change it as a image file.
Now you will have a image with 512x128 pixels. Open in your photo editing program a document with these dimensions.
After that you can start editing or creating a new one. The other image is only a guide so that you dont create a file that isnt usable.
If you have the image ready, then just open cfc_gui again and select the 5E90131C_manila. then in the lower right corner you press replace and choose your image. Now you have the image stored in the manila file. After that you can take the 5E90131C_manila and put it into the windows directory of your phone and overwrite the old one. After that restart sense and you are done
Thank you!
I will try it.
If I am not able to do it, after your explanation, I have chosen the wrong profession (M.SC. Computer Science) *g*
btw.
You created some great Themes and Customizations!
In which Manila files will I find the icons for cusomization? Not only the background?

there is a couple examples and Nordpolcamper uploaded a little guide/ template.

for me it was hard to get it aligned perfectly. you could always paste a softkeybar on your wallpaper and use a transparent softkeybar as the actual bar itself.
let me know how it goes.

Hehe^^ well the easiest way to make a cab is using Quick Cab. Just search it and you will find it Lanch the taxi like exe and then go to files, then select all your files on the left side and then select windows on the right side and press add.
After that go to create, select the name for your program, enter your name and then go to browse, select where you want to save it, then enter the cab name press ok and then press create.
After that you are already done

Thats quite easy But if you really want to work on the Softbars, I highly recommend just overwriting the files. Cause if you always install a cab you will get a very huge list in your programs list and that can be very messy. But if your eyes are set on it, I would suggest you download quickcab.
For simple cabs this is the best program and its very easy to use. Just set the directory to the windows folder, add what you want to copy and then give the program a name and a name for the Cab and press generate and everythings already done.
If you need help, just say so
i will just overwrite till i make a good one. ty for help

Since I found the HTC Leo's Sense quite difficult to edit the bloody Manila files (in OMNIA was... totally simple project), I'm willing to give (via PayPal donate) some cash, to someone who can create what I need...
He (they") will give me the exact dimensions of the files and I PERSONALLY will create my own graphics and I'll give him (them?) the files and he (they?) will create me what I want...
I want:
1. Co0kie (my personal) clocks (flip/analog)...
2. Slider (my personal) icons...
...and a couple things more; I'll have to check.
Anyone interesting?
Try CHTtweaks. You can change many of the items of co0kie home tab including flip & analog clock, softbar, lockscreen & SMS & email widget using simple png files; also you can get lot of transparency and easily chage text fonts. All with a simple file explorer, forget about manila files.
Regarding the slidertab is a bit more complicated, but if you upload here your png files for sure some other user will kindly help you. To start with you should install in your PC m9editor and / or CFC_GUI; also Resco Explorer or Total Commander in your device; then do a search in your device's windows folder for *_manila; then copy all the founded files to your SD and from there to your PC.
In post #8 of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696214 I did update a zip with all the files included in the slider-tab. Unzip in a separate folder in your PC. The files have the manila names, but png format. You can edit each one with PS, just keep the names and the sizes. It will be easy to convert them back to manila format before put them in your device.
Do it slowly, and ask here what you need. And do not forget to enjoy!
poy any reason why you would copy manila files to sd card first then pc?
i would just open windows folder on pc then copy straight to the pc.
You are right, probably my PC is very slow so i transfer the files using the card reader and i also like to have a backup copy of manila in SD. Of course is not essential .... the most important is to put all manila files in PC -no matter how- and do the edition there.
lol your pc is slow?
I may have you beat. it takes my pc about an hour and a half to copy all manila files.
frustrating but still hella fun though.
@ OP upload your files.
my sig : windroid have everything u want =] If u need edit anything .PM me.
or U could use Poys CHT Tweak. its easy to use

Thxs all of you, for the interest.
But... I don't know the BLOODY DIMENSIONS of these graph files!
I'm pro designer and if you may check bellow the link, I made a "total-theme" for OMNIA - took some serious time, but was easy, after all.
In OMNIA's "Manila", the project was so "crystal"; just copied EVERY graph file from Windows folder (mobile) in my PC, edited them, re-copied back to mobile... Or even better (with M2DC), I was extracting the ENTIRE theme somewhere in my mobile, copied the theme in the PC, opened via WinRar, editing the files, re-placing back in the "rar" theme file... and back to mobile!
SIMPLE!
In Leo's Sense Manila, it's NOT THAT simple!
Anyways... Is it possible, someone, to give me the BASIC files for these graphics (for example, Sliders icon mask and icon itself, Slider tab's icons, Co0kie clocks seperated graphs, etc.), to edit them (make my own graps) and help me out?
HERE IS my first personal Co0kie wallpaper (wide) I made; maybe I'll make others too, but I like that (see bellow)...
So... I wonna make some serious modifications, with the... obvious theme!
hey op, if no ones done it before I put my pc on later I'll help you out with slider icon sizes and convert your finished png images to manila, I did a pretty cool effort for my phone......
whats up don?
why dont you give him the manila files names for the slider files if you have them on hand.
@ OP here is a useful link to get your manila files off your device and convert em on your PC to png using CFCGUI. CFCGUI is needed.

hey there bud, hows it going?. thats exactly what im going to do now, i wasnt on the pc earlier so here goes.......
op, heres the files you need for the slider. i've sent you my own but the originals are the exact same size and i have these at hand. theres the large ones in the middle of the screen, the ones for the actual slider bar and the ones for when you slide your finger across the bar, you'll sus it out im sure.
just make a note of the actual image size and position within the canvas size, cut it and add your own images. when your done let me know an i'll convert them to manila for you. ask away if you need help......

Well, don't know if I'll try to mod them myself (still looking for someone to do it for me and donate 'im), because I'm in love with my new "toy", a Cowon J3 and I'm trying to MOD THAT UI!
