It's been out for a while, the slide uses a SWF. You must first load WA2 and WAD then load the slide program. And im pretty sure it does goes back to the slide after the device goes into hibernate. I'm sticking with the WAlite and WAD. I really like the original WM6 look and feel.
Here is my current setup.

wish I could be more of a help guy, but I have never used mortplayer. So im no help there.
To answer the other question. I made that theme from scratch. I wanted a Vista look and feel. Some icons are from the Expea2 icon set. I made the sidebar and clock from scratch.
I could post the files if anyone wants um.

To clarify a little, though I have been using the slide for a while now, the slide program does not require WA or WAD to be ran, you copy the lock folder to anywhere on ppc, and then run the slide.exe program, and you may also change the background of the wallpaper to any image in bmp format by renaming it to wallpaper.bmp and also, the program does not automatically run after comming from standy, you have to activate the program by running the .exe file, or by assigning to hardware button as for right now. Not sure of anyway to have an app to auto run after comming from standbu, hopefully someone knows.
Heres a screeny of my slider.....and yes it actually slides across...

can you help me figure out how to get the slider to work? I'm using Xplore 1.1, but everytime i click lock, i get an error message saying "devicelock" cannot be found.
iphone boot screen
Just install cab and you will get your wondows boot screen changed.
My 5cents
I have gotten the slider program to work via SkTools (memmaid will work too) and made a notification to run the program coming out of a wake up. However currently I have found this extremely buggy... ie sometimes the program runs multiple times when coming out of standby and sometimes causes an error..
My main use was to replace the now screen from mobile shell with this, seeing as that was my favorite part of mobile shell. If anyone knows of a program better for this, or has had better experience with getting the slider to work in wm6 out of standby, please let me know.

To have it run after you come out of standby, you need to add a "Notification Queue" entry for the slide.exe file with the WHEN setting of " The Device woke up"
You can add entries for any system state changes to the notification queue to run any program.

Hey guys,
I posted a little teaser for my skin/theme, and I've got some pretty positive feedback/lots of traffic to my site. I have now released the theme in it's entirety, and it is available on my site for which you can find the link at the bottom of this post.
Lots of time and development have been put into creating this, and I couldn't have done it without the majority of graphics from Corleno. Thanks to him for allowing me to 'remix' his Wisbar Advance theme, "Vista Pocket".
Anyways, take a look at the pics below, and find a link to the download at my site. Sorry I did not post the actual files here, but posting it on my own site will allow me to update the theme easily if need be, and people from many other sites can comment on it there too. I really hope you enjoy this, as it took me much longer than it should have! (I'm not surprised, because I'm a pixel-perfectionist)

ok dude, i'm impressed! One question though, http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/ have two softwares listed:
1) Wisbar Advance 3.1.0.4
2) Wisbar Advance Desktop 1.3.0.7
Which one of these is required on my JASJAR to have your theme installed and fully functional?!?

Hey man, glad you enjoy the theme. You actually need both of the software titles that you mentioned above. "Wisbar Advance (WA)" AND "Wisbar Advance Desktop (WAD)". That version of WAD should give you no problems, however I built and test this theme only on WA v2, and not the newest v3. I'm sure that it will work in v3, since I don't believe anything major has changed, however I cannot guarantee that since I only tested it with v2.
If you do try out v3, please let us know how it works.
Thanks!
Hey, excellent skin.. but will it consume alot of memory, last time i installed wisbar advance on my uni and it lagged until the camera app cannot be initiated

Hi /b/-TarD,
That's actually a great question you ask. I have never had any memory issues with my Uni while running this theme. I also just checked my current memory status after a fresh reboot, and "DesktopApp.exe" (Wisbar Advance Desktop) is using 2.56mb of RAM, while "wisbaradv2.exe" (Wisbar Advance) is using 303kb of RAM.
This makes sense to me because the WAD theme is much more detailed and has larger graphics than the WA skin. For me, its worth sacrificing 2.9mb of RAM to run this theme set. I hope you'll agree too
Let me know if you do run into any issues with RAM usage, but I can tell you that everything works fine for me!
this is a great skin however i have had a few problems, not sure if it is the skin or my setings, i am using it on a SPV M5000 running WAD and WA2, not had issues with other sking but my machine keeps on "freezing" after a short while and the only way to respore it is to so a soft reset and load the skin up again. WAD and WA2 are installed to my SD card, dont think that that is the problem though
Any idea's ....????????

Hey Hooperman, I would have personally installed WA + WAD to the Main Memory and NOT the Storage Card. I know this requires a fair bit of free space in the Main Memory, but WA + WAD will definitely respond faster and keep running optimally.
My theme has been downloaded a sh*tload of times, and I haven't heard anyone else with your problems, so I would think that having your WA/WAD on the Storage Card is definitely the issue.
If you have the space, try installing WA/WAD to the Main Memory and let us know how it goes...
Hope this helps!

Hi azzkicker, I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. It's quite unfortunate that the WAD skin is not working for you. Not to single you out, but no one else has contacted me with the issues you are having, which leads me to believe that you just haven't copied the folder structures properly.
Read my blog post again here, and make sure that you copy each of the files/folders EXACTLY where I described in that post.
Hope this helps!

Hey there kcguy,
First off, let me say that I have no problem with you creating a QVGA version of my theme. I just request that you keep all graphics as high-quality as you can, so that the theme doesn't lose it's visual appeal.
Also, please just send me a private message before you release the theme, so that we can ensure that everyone who participated in it's development is credited properly. I can also (and prefer to) host the QVGA version for you on my protogenLabs.com website.
Let me know how it's coming along, and if the above sounds good to you. Looking forward to seeing your work!
-scar
not a problem
scar45,
I didn't modify any of your graphics, only edited the sizes to fit the QVGA format. I'd be happy to send it to you so you can release it. That is the way it should be, since a lot of effort went into the design.
I have modified the landscape files also, but have had no success getting it to display when I'm in landscape mode. My wizard switches from portrait to landscape when you slide the qwerty out. Any ideas why it won't display? Only displays the default wisbar desktop theme in landscape, but instantly goes back to your theme when I close the keyboard and go back to portrait mode.
kcguy, can you post your qvga format? I would like to try this on my HTC hermes. Thanks.

hey kcguy,
Thanks for the effort you've put into making a QVGA version of my theme. I'm not sure why the landscape mode won't work, as I didn't run into the same problem as you. What I might suggest is to put the device in landscape mode, then try to re-select the landscape version of the theme, and hopefully it will stick (vistaMobile_L_(Q)VGA).
Anyways, let me know when you've completed the theme, and please send this to no one else but myself first, and following that, I will package it up for download and host it on my site.
Hope it's still coming along nicely!
-scar
It's complete
Hey scar45,
I don't know what the issue is with the landscape mode, but I have a work- around, if anybody else has the same issue. On my wizard, I had to open the landscape QVGA while in portrait mode on my phone as well as WAD. I then rotated the screne 90 deg. to the right so it displayed properly, opened my qwerty which switched the device to landscape mode, and no more problems. When you receive the zip file back, you'll notice that p_QVGA now shows two pages, 0 & 1 which I assume is because I opened the L_QVGA in portrait mode, but for whatever reason, it now works perfectly. I am trying to send you the files as we speak so you can take a look and decide if you want to release them. Thanks for the awesome theme!

Heya soalle,
At this point, I would say that this theme is not possible to use on a Smartphone QVGA device. The main core of the theme is based on Wisbar Advance/Wisbar Advance Desktop, and I don't believe that this program is available for the Smartphone version of Windows Mobile.
I wish there was a way that I could develop it for that, but unfortunately there isn't at this point in time.
I will be releasing kcguy's QVGA version of my theme for PocketPCs, so if you obtain one of those devices (or better yet, a VGA PPC), then you would be able to use this theme set.
Keep an eye out on this post though, and if anyone finds a way to make this theme usable on a Smartphone QVGA device, it will surely be posted here.
Thanks!

Hey guys, I just wanted to *bump* this message up because thanks to kcguy (and some further configuring by me), my VistaMobile theme has now been released in a QVGA format!
A LOT of people had been asking for this version after I released the original, so after some time, and some help from kcguy, I was able to rewrite the theme to support QVGA devices.
I have tested it out on my QVGA Pocket PC Emulator, and it seemed to work perfectly fine. If anyone else runs into any issues, please post them in this thread, and I'll do my best to address them as soon as I possibly can. You might get a quicker response if you post an actual comment to my protogenLabs site where the file is hosted.
You can grab the actual .zip file here:

I think the next best thing to having a stable and speedy ROM is the ability to change the OS theme every once in a while, or frequently, which makes it very important to have a collection of themes on hand. You would need of course the M2DC ( customizer ) to add the theme of choice.
before you start changing themes, you need to back up your ROM Theme. This is very important. to do so, open M2DC and in "restore" tab, click on "backup M2D Theme" just in case you need to go back to your original Theme.
I have compiled some of the nicest themes around, herewith. After downloading or saving them on your PC, you would need to change the theme file extension name of every theme you saved from zip to m2dct. This is very important, ie.. CleanClock_TWolf.zip becomes CleanClock_TWolf.m2dct .
Copy those themes on your SD card in a separate folder. Open M2DC and in "themes" click on "add" then start adding the themes one by one to your Manila Customizer Theme folder. You will be able to see how these themes look like on the Theme window of M2DC.
During the theme being applied a pop up window asks you if you are going to keep/or change the original icons, tabs and weather screen. very important to keep the weather screen unchanged. ( Check mark the first line box ).
This will help you not get bored with your phone and will look like you have a new ROM every time you install a new theme.
i know this is redundant thread, however, I felt there are a lot of noobs here now and they are flashing Roms right and left, just because they see the screen shots of the cooked ROM. this I hope will reduce the flashing errors and the ForNoGoodReason.
I have no objection if someone wants to take a task upon himself or herself to upload screen shots of those themes.
ps.... All Credits go to the creators of these themes.
more themes to upload to your device.
Here you go... more themes....
I tried to upload more themes, but the server keeps kicking me out... I hope that gives you a good start on customizing the way your kaiser looks.

Very good topic albeit that M2DC thread and denco7's HTC thread have the relevant info.
About above quote not important as M2DC supports .zip or .m2dct so no need to change the extension.
Just make sure them theme is not a .zip'd .m2dct.

I tried iphone_by Lepsyfou and it always hung when I slide to SMS page on M2D. Even removing M2D from Today Setting won't close it and the only way is to SR. Other functions are ok though .. I suspected something is wrong with the image files. Do you mind testing and confirming?

Chris,
lepsyfou's theme includes two widgets that our standard M2D can not support unless you add them. I believe he added "Phone" and "Nav" tabs. You will have glitches with his theme for sure unless you modify the M2d registry and add the strings for widget he included. I am sorry I do not have time to test it fully, but I believe thats what is causing your freeze, not the SMS. It will freeze even when you slide to start Google.
There is another iPhone Theme that has the widget that are mapped to our M2D's and will not cause the freeze.
interesting thread.Thx guys
Asfoor,
I even tried copying manually just the image files, thinking it will simply replace the existing files, and the image will change. It always stuck on SMS (whenever I swipe to highlight SMS). It runs well for other tabs that currently we have, except for SMS ..
All done while Manila is disabled.I suspected the image file (png) is corrupted somehow, though, but will check when I have time.
Thanks for the tips though. I'll try again by removing the unused files, and run it through M2DC.

Thanx matrix for taking the time to post the images of the themes. I am experimenting with ThrottleLauncher_1.0_RC1 that integrates 3D without using too much resources. If someone wants the Cab file to test, here it is. Please post your results and images if you have time.
Remember to disable HTCHome or Manila prior to installing. After Install you can only run one theme or OS. This is the latest from Throttle Launcher.
Here is the direct link to Throttle Launcher website. The cab file I posted above is of the most recent version of TL, and is a non-beta and free to the users.

You are aware that Manila2D is a derivative of Throttle Launcher, which is a depiction of SPB Shell, right? HTC decided to adopt TL but wanted to change the name to Manila when the OS was first introduced to HTC Diamond.
There is one issue with the current release of TL RC1, and I am sure it has to do with other 3rd party programs. It will be resolved with a fix very soon.
The new SPB Shell V3.0 is by far more advanced than the current Manila3D, and offers a sophisticated/advanced touchFlo features iPhone dreams of having. If you can, give it a try and see what I am talking about. Maybe TL will follow the footsteps of SPB which in turn gets adapted by HTC R&D.

Here is the direct link to Throttle Launcher website. The cab file I posted above is of the most recent version of TL, and is a non-beta and free to the users.
http://www.throttlelauncher.com/portal/downloads/56-tlauncher/119-10rc1release
The License is valid till May 12, 2009. It will be available for purchase on or about May 10th.

Hi asfoor!
glad you're experimenting with TL . Let me know if you have any doubts or problems... About your comment about licensing, as you've said the CAB file includes a license valid until 12 May, but users will always be able to download as much licenses as they want for free at www.throttlelauncher.com/keygen . So there's not time limit on how long you can use ThrottleLauncher for free, just you've to visit the web once a month (licenses last for that long). Also I'm sending lifetime licenses for users helping with themes and supporting TL (even with 1$ donations)....
Thanks for your interest!!
Special thx to Damage and his unnamed leak for the official 2.1 release! VVM was business-necessary for me (ability to forward voicemails).
This is a Port of Ratcom's GSM version; all credit goes to him. Those interested in theme development, look up Ratcom and check his sig.
(3-28-10) Rosie no longer includes buttons; instead they're located under Framework in com.htc.resources.apk. So editing Rosie requires you to update both these APKs. Therefore they're both in the ZIP, which makes for a big file.

Special thx to all those at XDA making it possible for us to better use our phones. Thanks!
many thanks! Love the clear clock, thought I would have to say goodbye to it after flashing fresh 1.0

This is the theme I personally use and plan to keep it up-to-date for as long as Flipz wants to pump out updates.
I do have a day job though
Can you try to port over a smaller home like in the beautiful home app(4x1 instead of 4x2)
sweet, thanks a million.
quick question, did this change?
You're referring to this:
Copied from this post in the GSM themes:
adb remount
adb shell
su
rm -R system/etc/lockscreen/port
Whatever lockscreen you have will now show directly on top of your home screen.

installed fresh 1 and i still have the wallpaper i set for the background, installed the clear theme as well. tried this command and it keeps saying file or directory doesn't exist.
just sucks that the clear notify makes you lose the new task bar and puts the old one back on.
I don't understand the point of the clear lock screen included here since Flip put out lock removal patch. I'm not complaining, just curious of the difference. And since the lock screen is totally transparent with Fresh 1.0 + delock, is there a way to remove the clock from the lock screen since a lot of people use the HTC Clock widget anyway?
I'm using the keyboard, widgets and buttons. I really like how just the word Phone and just the visible parts of the other two buttons light up now, that's a really nice touch. I'd use the clear notification but I like the new taskbar icons, if there's a way to get both the clear notification pane and the new icons I'd use it. Again, I love your work!
Amazing JOB!! Really love it. Thank you a lot for this!!

I've tried to split everything out as much as possible, but with ZIP updates, you update the entire APK, not bits and pieces. In this case, both the notifications and taskbar graphics are located in the same APK (framework-res). So it's all or nothing.
All Clear downloads are labeled with the APK it replaces to help the community know what it is the ZIP is actually changing.
I haven't even looked for it yet, but I'm guessing Tsowen's taskbar is a GSM theme that Flipz started to port over. I also know Flipz needs a break and mentioned something about working in the kitchen. If it is a port, I don't mind looking at it, but it would have to wait 'till next week, as things get BUSY starting today.

The difference: this is for those who have DE-Freshed. This lockscreen offers a separate lockscreen wallpaper that has no arc or other graphics on it, just your wireless carrier and the time. You don't see your homescreen or HTC Clock widget at all.
As for removing the clock, well, I have the habit of giving out almost-truths Then Flipz yells at me and sets everyone straight. I'll try to explain with what I think I currently know, and then the pros will (hopefully) come by and tell you how it really works.
Visuals are controlled by binary XML files within an APK. You can't just open and edit them, they're not regular XML. There's a java "printer" that will convert them to TXT so that they can be edited, but there's no known way to re-package them again. Unless you're editing source code not to look for certain files, you can't just delete XML files either.
What that means for us - Removing the clock would be a specific feature a ROM cooker would have to change the source code for. That's waaaay past what a simple graphics hobby jockey like myself is capable of
I really like how just the word Phone and just the visible parts of the other two buttons light up now, that's a really nice touch.

Glad you like it! The original Clear-button Rosie was a quick hack-job to remove the "at rest" buttons. I think these hold true to the theme much better.

Flipz corrected me when I quoted that from the GSM theme forum. There's a backup wallpaper as well, so to "remove" your lock screen to view the homescreen beneath takes a bit more work.
As per my OP, I would like to look into this, as there seem to be enough people interested. Ideally there would be a ZIP update package that modifies things to the point that you'd be able to flash Evil's lockscreen (or whatever) and still see your homescreen beneath. I'd like to think this is possible, but that requires time to play around

OK, that's cool. I'd actually been wanting to wipe my phone and start from scratch so I went ahead and ruu'd back and started over. Installed fresh 1 and your clears and got the clear, no background lockscreen.
Thanks for your work.
hmm... just wondering...
but what happened to the cool selection icon/picture?
like, when you scroll over something or select a program, in regular android it was a green square/rectangle.
but in the last clear theme for fresh .7, it was like, a fading circle
did you take that out? :O
oh, and btw, i LOVE this theme. thanks sooo much for putting it on fresh 1.0 so fast!
I'm not sure who to ask this but somewhere between running .6 fresh and .7 clears, and the 1 fresh with 1 clears, I lost a screen animation.
I was running .6 fresh with the original ratcom's clears and the other optimization pack, then when the .7 clears were made, i put that on and afterwards I had an animation where it instead of "flashing" between screens, it would "go into" the screen. After flashing the fresh 1 and the new clears, the animation is gone. But what little I know about the themes, I wouldn't think they would have any effect on the animations, that should be in the rom, correct? But it's weird that they didn't change until I put the .7 clears over the .6 fresh rom.
Edit: nevermind, I figured it out, the transition animation speed was turned off.

do you think you could repackage that in? i really liked it, it was a nice additional touch that really blended in with the theme and it looked good too.
thanks for all your work!
I'm sorry if this has been answered already:
Fresh 1.0, used the clear lock .zip and thought it was totally cool. I was playing with using a lock paper again and thought I could just run the .zip again to remove a lockscreen paper but it didn't work, my last lockscreen image is still there. There is not a "lockscreen" folder in /system/etc/
Any advice on how I can get back to having an invisible lockscreen image?
Thanks
*edit - again, I'm sorry if this has been covered. I just tried running delock_1.0.zip again with no result. I am guessing the invisible lock screen is part of fresh itself...
*edit #2 - I just reread this thread and realized how unobservant I am. A week ago I had zero exposure to Android, my head hurts from learning so much in such a short time. Thank you all for your work and patience with the noobs. I think its time I go hit a few "donate" buttons...
There's a few issues on the Fresh 1.0 topic that reference this, and Flipz posted about it directly. It appears that if you had your own wallpaper, it caches it away someplace. Flipz plans on addressing it in the future.
I was hoping to look at the lockscreen stuff but haven't had the time yet. 'Tis the season for a bazillion things going on.

You're not kidding! This may sound a little over dramatic but my perception of Android so far is it's revolutionary. I am absolutely amazed by what these devices are capable of.
Thanks again guys!
How do you install these? I just rooted and installed Fresh on my Hero, but not sure how to install these themes. Do I boot into recovery and apply from SD card?
Yup, just like a ROM. Save the ZIP on your sdcard, then boot to recovery: "Choose ZIP" and confirm.
I don't think we've had any issues with 1.0, but it should go without saying to do your Nandroid backups first!
Six different color options for all the fruity pebble goodness!

Here is how it works now.
Step ONE.. make sure you have already installed the DigitalClock for Cht2.0 and CHTS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8319907&postcount=4
______________________________________________________________
Step TWO
Go to your phone in active sync and go into StorageCard/_CHTScheduler
Drop in the Folder from the .zip called "CHTSLayout_cubism 2"
http://www.brittondelizia.com/josh/CHTSLayout_cubism 2.rar
______________________________________________________________
Step THREE
Soft reset then click the windows button and go to CHT_Switch and click on "Cubism 2" load cubism.
_____________________________________________________________
Step FOUR
Assuming you have JWMD Icon Changer (if not get it) and replace
solitare
Windows Media
Reset
Shake to Save
File Explorer
Camera
Opera
Bing
Youtube
Google Maps
With BlankIcon.png
___________________________________________________________
Step FIVE
Install Dic3ptors Green Slider
Tacchan23s Dusk Green Taskbar
then
DotSlider
In that order
Soft reset and i think thats it..
The only other thing you might have to do is reload the wallpapers.. not sure why.. but if so.. its prett simple just add the wallpaper as an HQ 1400x800 wallpaper (its in the file) and Skin the Soft and Taskbar..
Let me know how it works out.. in the mean time ill be trying to make it more automated.
Save
http://www.brittondelizia.com/josh/blankIcon.png
Somewhere on your phone or sd card.. youll need it later.

For those that dont like the bottom being completely invisible i give you this..

The last and most important step... Go by their threads or catch them on someone elses and say thanks to Tacchan and Dic3ptor for all the work that goes into some of their work that helps folks like me NOT have to rebuild sliders and taskbars when there is already amazing stuff like theirs out there!
And of course thanks to Micheal Diamond and Cookie for making tying any of together and making this possible in the first place.

As soon as i know the green works ill start uploading the rest.. im trying to eliminate some steps.. i think the issue is on MY phone when i save it and then re install it.. its pulling the files automatically from where they WERE not from where they are in the zip.. so when i save the theme i have to figure out how to point it at the correct NEW file locations. If i can do this i should be able to get it down to one step i hope.
Ok, I,m almost there! The main stuff is up and running but I just need to clarify a few things:
1. I don't have some of the apps linked to by the cube icons. Is there a way to link some of those icons to other apps ie the Mario & Luigi pic to maybe Morphgear (SNES emulator) etc....
2. Installed the Green Digi clock but I can't select it from the editor.
I'll keep adding any other problems I have to this post as they come up...
the clock should pop up automatically if you have it in stalled.. if not.. add a widget and digital clock should be the next to last thing from the bottom.
The mario brothers are just linked to solitaire.. i figured after we got it all running id describe how to delete and add links to whatever you want.. but i wanted it all running first.. but yea.. for now mario should just link to solitaire.
EDIT
Ill go ahead and post it now.. but lets not get ahead of ourselves.. to swap out icons.. just go to home edit.. and double click/hold down a sec.. where the icon SHOULD be.. then click remove.
Then just add a new free link and place it on top of the picture you want to activate it with.. click on remove lables.. then go back to JWMD Icon editor and replace the icon of the new thing you placed there... i.e. morph gear.. and replace the stock icon with the blank icon file.
Clear cache / soft reset ect.. and now your new icon will be there instead of the original (same clickable pic thoug)
When you add digital clock if its not my version i know why.. i placed .png files in the cab instead of _manilla
Im used to building on brute force not using soft install (cab files) so there is a little learnign curve here for me to make it easy to install/uninstall to everyone

I think im gonna do all the colors tacchan and dusk both have theres done in.
Make sure oyu post pics here as soon as you lock it down.. im stoked to see the first clone!!

What is the max resolution on CHT 2.0 on your phone? we have 1400x800 so im not sure what the cut off is on yours.
The concept is the same.. as long as the icons arent up too high.. worst case.. you can be a hero and let us know .. and if it doesnt.. a hard reset will bring you back to zero.
In sure all the vga guys would be appreciative.

Yeah, just doing like you said and removing unneeded links and replacing them. It's all working as planned, I'd love that green digi clock though so let me know if I've done something wrong. I used the one in your folder and the one from the link you posted and neither show up in the editor. I'll post some screenies once I'm up and running. Good job!

As far as vga goes.. the only problem i can see is either icons being too hight to click.. or mapping being top down.. which would make them too low to click.. either way.. i might be able to fix it.. so let me know if its perfect and if not what problems it has so i can fix it now for future themes.. thanks for being the guinee pig

im assuming that means no dice.. do we know where it messed up? or is it just ****ed
So youve tried looking for keyboard skins befor and were excited about the great new look it gave your phone right?
BUT
You were dissapointed to find that it only skinned the very basic onscreen qwerty right?
I know I was.
SO
I did something about it.
If your familiar with the Sharkie rom, you might have noticed that his 5.0 rom featured a full keyboard skin in wich every single keyboard in the phone had been skinned in Dinik's iconic anastasia theme.
That was my first keyboard skin.
But after the fact I had noticed a themeI liked better then the anastasia glass.
The DUSK!
So I colaborated a bit more with sharkie to make this new full keyborad skin.
We decided that a traditional black and white look would be best and I went to work on this Dusk keyboard.
Stock Green is just that, a stock green version
Sharkie Bule was made to match the sharkie roms aqua blue them.
Crimson Red was basicly for my use but I'll share

Ok... if anyone else has an issue of having white text on your keyboards instead of black like its sapouse to, this is what you do.
Follow thees steps exactly.....
First, download the "Black ezinputs.zip" at the bottom of this post.
Extract the folder inside of it and place it somewhere on your storage card.
Using total commander, navagate to that folder and click it.
Now, 'right click' or hold down on the file inside of the folder. (the file name should be 'ezinput.dll') and hit 'Properties'
Uncheck all the boxes under attributes.
(just click on the check mark, and it you have to click it again if it goes gray rather then dissapearing)
Click ok at the botom of your screen.
Now go to your windows directory.
Find the ezinputs.dll in your windows directory and do the same thing.
After hitting ok, rename this file to 'ezinputs2.dll'
Go back to the file on your sdcard and right click it and select 'copy/move'
then on the next window you have 4 choices
copy
move
tree
cancel
Select 'tree', then click on 'windows' (it should be the last item on that list of folders)
After that, it will go back to the window with the 4 choices mensioned above.
Select 'copy'
It might take a min to do this, just wait.
Once its finished there, soft reset.
After its started up, your keys should be black again.
All thats left to do is go back into your windows directory and delete the 'ezinputs2.dll' file.
Reset again just to be safe.
That should take care of it.
This guide was written under the pretence that you have used some other keyboard skin or file that has changed your text to white.
(Otherwise Id say you dont even need to do this as your text should be black if nothing has been tampered with.....)

Someone has already made one, allthough kinda half finished.
He has all the files alvailable in a zip on his thread, but I dont think he knows how to make a cab.
I could probable make one though.
Would you mind posting a pic of the exact type your interested in?
Ive seen a few different types called wp7 themed but they all just looked just like blue squares.
Is blue what your looking for or some other color
Or do you mean make a keyboard for windows 7 phones and not a 6.5 windows phone?
why dont make android keyboard :]
If you send me 3 files, 1 each of the Black key, Silver Key, and Blue key I will theme my Android Keyboard with them and see how it works out. Then you can share it with others.

I would if I knew how to lol
I dont know much at all in the way of android.
If someone gave me the files, I could skin them, But I dont know how to complie them on an android like I have here for wm.
Id love to have a dusk keyboard on my android port tho
This is the keys that would need to be themed for HTC_IME.apk
If you can theme these keys I will try to add to my keyboard and see if they work.

If you have installed someone elses keyboard in wich they turned the letters to white, then one of the files in their skins is still effecting the phone.
My cab has nothing to do with this.
If you look threw your windows directory using total commander, look for a file called " exinput.dll " and try and delete it. If that doesnt work then Im afraid a hard reset will have to be performed since I dont know of any other way to get rid of it.
Let me know if you can delete it, if you cant I will do some more research on it.
Maybe there is a file that can change them back to black...
But Ive looked through that file a few times and didnt see any hexcode for color so Im not sure.
I'll look through it again.
Sorry about that
*Edit*
I didnt think to ask but is your stock keyboard letter color white?
If so then maybe the stock ezinput is black in wich case I can pull my file and post it lol.
thanks for the reply bud. i was using diniks v3 keyboard which seemed to uninstall ok. i've looked for the file you suggested , take a look at the image and you'll notice a file close to the one you said but i wont delete anything untill i know a bit more. in all honesty mate, i cant remember what colour the original keys were, its been that long......i should mention im using stock rom. we could maybe try the method you suggested by ripping the file from whatever an i'll just try it an see what happenes. top looking skin though man !!!.
cheers....

ya thats the file sorry, I hit x on accident.
Its "eZ" not 'eX' lol my bad
If its a system protected file, then the phone will tell you that it cant be deleted. And even if it does get deleated, if you soft reset your phone, it will make a new one from the roms stock image.
Thats why most cabs make you soft reset so that the phone doesnt delete what youve put and go back to the stock image it has in the rom.
So if nothing else it shouldnt do anything at all if you delete it.
And ya, that anastasia cab has the file to make the keys white.
Im sunning sprint lovers rom right now, but I normally use the referance stock of energy.
Im going to hard reset my phone now (I installed the ezinputs file befor mentioning it to be sure) and look for the same file to see if it has a way of going back to black keys or if the white keys is only from that file.
Check back in about... say 10 mins?
I should have an answer for you
cool !!....

So I found the stock ezinputs file on my phone, so it does have one in the phone stock to make the keys black.
My phone isnt letting me copy it though.....

Im going to ask a buddy of mine to send me the stock file.
Every time I have a problem getting a file off my phone, Sharkie can always get it to me lol
I should have it pretty soon. Hes very good about anwering messages.
Just be sure to check back later on.
I'll post a cab for white fonts and black fonts for people who want it
Thanks for using the skins.
Are you on an HD2 or a touch pro 2?
thanks for your efforts mate, i really appreciate it !!. im using a hd2, its still on stock rom but it seems to run pretty sweet considering all the mods and graphic changes i've done to it, great phone all in all......
Thanks.
Ive been trying to get some feedback from HD2 users.
The chef who made the rom Im using used a different keyboard then the stock one that comes on the touch pro 2 and Ive been trying to see if it was the one fro the hd2, wich it appears to be.
