Ok, so I've been fairly busy today, not cooking, but sorting out some apps for WM6, like the good old album app from WM2003SE and not that crappy 'Pictures and Videos' rubbish that we got stuck with from WM5 onwards...
But I digress...
I've been having a go with skinning my new ROM, and it looks, even if I say it myself, bloody amazing
BUT, I want to know what you lot think of it

Theres still a few issues regard the text which needs to be coloured white as you can see. So if you are a colour scheme XML GURU then PLEASE ocntact me! also if you are any good with photoshop and you would also like to contribute, please contact me as I reckon those standard WM6 volume/alert icons could do with some sprucing up I'll also ahve a go at skinning the comm manager, tried once today and it wouldn't launch
Phil
I prefer grey/blue over black, but still you made a good job
it looks great Phil! love it!
please input that to Beta II. but of course don't forget the default ones. (green, guava, blue, etc.)
when will the Beta II be released? thanks for your job!
I don't think it's a good idea to change the default themes, especially with black themes. there are many ppl who likes light color themes.
you can release the theme separately, so just the interested person to install it.
I like blue themes like the attached one :d

Please post some screenshots after you change the text colour. Black text + black backgroud is no good for me.

I dont think Phil is replacing the default themes. He is just developing this black theme as an extra add-on.
This theme will be an optional extra, unfortunately I can't post it yet for a number of reasons:
1. The colour of the text still needs to be fixed in a number of places
2. Some registry keys keep reseting which makes some text unreadable
Also I've tried installing this theme on andot's ROM but it locks up the device after install and then will no longer display splash screens, think this is something to do with the way his ROM handles the splash screens (oemsplash.dll), however if andot wants to port it to his ROM or help me fix these issues then he is more than welcome
@andot - I'll send you the cab tomorrow when your online in the morning to test, I don't have access to it atm...
I will release the windows media player skin tomorrow as a separate download

You can't just post that and not tell us where it comes from. That's not fair!!!!
in some pics looks good in others doesn't
For the Earpiece volume and the Info , the white circle is very bad , and the text should be in white to be lisible.i'll waiting for the next release maybe a member of www.nectun.com or http://www.mlab.name can release a good skin.
@pryorob - this isn't a homescreen, its a colour scheme, meaning you can use whichever homescreen you like with it

actualy i designed that one, its a combination of a few diffrent home screens i found with some modifications...i could post if if you want but it needs facade, smartmonitor and fizz traveler and at the bottom, is smart toolkit, it gives a nice start menu, tasks manager, screen capture and copy paste functions. if youre intrested, ill post a link
and @ jm012a9749: i know, but if youre going to include this color scheme in a cab file why not have a redesigned home screen available too as an option

That would be sweet! I think it would look pretty nifty in black too.
Please can I ask to post the black home screen.
I Agree with glennza! post that Homescreen, i have the plugins, well, minus the weather part but i can replace it with Skype and Prelude since i use them more.

funny, i think that wmp11 skin is the first ever wmp skin i had ever made. (in this case it was an edit to a bugged one). but it looks like one of my early edits, the one with bugs still lol.
is it?
also, is this just going to be a homescreen for us to download or are you making it into a new rom? im hoping its just a homescreen.
btw just 1 suggestion, make sure to have white words. i noticed on some pics it was black on black.
Got the inspiration from your first WMP11 theme mikeeey, unfortunately I couldn't find it anywhere so I took the QVGA Vista Portable edition pocket PC WMP skin and rejigged the background with an image similar to your early WMP11 theme and cab'd it up
I agree that pyrorob's custom homescreen would probably look awesome in black...
The black text on black background is being worked on btw

SKIN FILES
that is hi-res glass minimalistic VGA skin with files..If you have WisBar then unzip all files and copy them in Program Files\Lakeridge\Wisbar\Themes...tsk file copy into Windows directory,and in Today screen choose bista theme as default..Then go to Wisbar and select bista as default..and that is it...I have allready optimized sounds and images so if you want to change again to anything...help yourself...I have to notice that this is extreeme variation of bista,optimized for speed and design..I have another one...black...everyone can make a skin..but I choose to deducate my free time for tiny little design upgrades and modifications.
What version of WA2 are you using, or did you do anything special to install?

Oh, and also: It looks like you are running with NO Today plug-ins... is that correct? I assume you are doing so to maximize free program mem?

correct ! today plugins are just "unneccessery additive"..so in skins and themes I decide to rearrange everything for minimalistic "speed-way". So I do not have any "freezings" or sort of that problems...

you need to unzip files first!..in some folder..then that folder copy into your device into folder..I am using Wisbar Advance 2 and nothing else..try again...unzip file and copy it into devices program file of your skinning application.. I think that some of our themes should be incorporated into Universal 6 to stay away from Windows Mobile "retro programming"...I think it is only a matter of time when some mobile device producer will choose to incorporate some ROM from here into their devices and products...That will be the best award to all our xda developer team who are working so much...Respect to all of them...

i really like this wisbar theme, i always loved the original wisbar on my xda11i but have never really liked the new version,
the only downside is, i mainly use my pda in landscape mode, is there any way to stop the start menu icon doubling up like it does? and its a shame the wallpaper doesnt match when in that mode, also how have u got that shutdown button down at the bottom?

Install and select Red Dress as homescreen.
The panels look great with other wallpapers too but I just liked the colors of this one
I've also added a small mortscript to show the current temp and weather condition on the clock panel. It's a small thing I wrote that might not always work. It only update if you manually update the weather by hitting right softkey when on the clock panel, this takes you to htc forecast application. Right softkey again, select refresh and it should work.
Maybe on first update it won't show anything => slide keyboard and close it again and it should show!
I took some inspiration from NRG weather application but my implementation is just something very simple if anyone feels like improving my dirty mortscript do so !
thx mate nice skin
Nice work dr. Gonzo thanks.
Can you make this theme and your other themes for WM 6.1 no s740. That will be nice
Thank you for this great theme Doctor! Works perfect on my Rose'd Vox.
how do you install or use that weather slide???? (plug in)
Total Commander Stopped working
The skin is excellent, but after installing it Total Commander Stopped working . Is there a work around? Because I just loved the skin
just so you know dr. Ive posted this over at allshadow http://allshadow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3938, since we have a rom based on the rose. Works great !! thanks for the theme.
I must admit when the home screen switched and i had full view of the background I was teased alittle.
Thanks Dr Gonzo for the theme. Now we have a theme with different style. You are a really wonderful.
By the way the weather panel shows only temperature and weather icon. Previuosly I had used a weather app (Featherweather portrait) developed by Showaco in Excalibur forum. It worked really well with Vox and will suit very well in the weather panel of Red Dress theme of yours. But I am unable to try it since I am afraid once I install the app it will mess up with your app. So will you give your opinion suggesting a way I can uninstall your weather app keeping the theme and install featherweather by Showaco.

Hi,
I am about to embark upon changing the menu icons and screen touches that leave the green behind. Before I do I wanted to see if anyone had already successfully changed this FULLY rather than on just one screen and also one that works on the topaz. Any I have found so far either do not work or do a partial job.
Obviously if someone has done it already I would be keen to ive their work a try as this will be my first modding task and admittedly think I am starting at the deep end.
Also any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. If my work is succesful I will of course attempt to upload it for others to use
Thanks
CFC GUI is your friend, you can extract and replace all the graphics using it.
Which one(s) have you found that worked partially?
I have spent hours trawling through the various forums to find snippets from here and there, but in all honesty I'm a bit lost.
I found a 'T-Mobile' file which looks nice, but I have yet to try it on the device (because it hasn't arrived yet )
I will definitely be wanting to change away from green, so if/when you figure it out then please do let us (me) know how. Blue or grey is my target.
Here you go, green to blue with the attached CAB.
[UPDATE]
Changed all non-TF3D green highlighting/switches/buttons to blue also!
Due to CAB size, I've put it on my RapidShare account, no need to wait for download as it's been made a TrafficShare download.
Have left original version available for download for those who only want TF3D modified.

Enjoy!
Fantastic! Thanks hoosbude.
Sadly my device didn't arrive today as expected, so I'm still waiting. However, I shall look forward to trying your CAB and seeing what type of 'blue' you've provided.
Can you explain how you did it? What tool(s) did you use, and is it easy to do? Mostly I'm quite happy with TF3D, but I'd like to learn how to mess with the colours a little.
Yes, I have read and searched, and I got as far as finding Max TF3D Theme Maker - it looks a bit too much for what I need. Is this the way to go, or is there a simpler solution?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the cab. I will give it a try. admittedly I put the project on hold due to a cosmetic issue my phone picked up similar to this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=522813
So my motivation to start any projects will be gone until I either get a replacement or repair. Hopefully your cab will do the trick

I used CFC GUI to extract the graphics then used Photoshop to change the hue, then used CFC GUI to re-implant the graphics to the original format then made the CAB. It took me about 40mins to do from start to finish (I did alter 47 files! also I made the boot picture blue too as a bonus!!)
Cab appears to work great only thing i have noticed that is not blended into the blue touch colour scheme is the communications tab of the settings menu which still has the green slide bars. If you fancy changing that it would be perfect.
To answer the question somebody asked earlier about other similar things i tried there is one made by lexirae (cant find the link now) that removes the touch coloured panel on the front screen with a transparent touch, There was also one made for the globe but think it was for a cooked rom as it made my opera browser inoperable and a hard reset was needed.

Yeah I noticed that also, the graphics for that were not shown by CFC GUI so that's why they were missed!
If anyone knows which files they are in I'd be much obliged (although I will google it later when I have the time)
Think the file you are looking for is 471b0a55_manilla
It is labelled in CFC-GUI under settings SWITCH_ON
If I am incorrect and you have already looked at this then apologies

My TD2 arrived today and I'm loving it - for a device so seemingly similar to my Xperia, the Xperience is completely transformed...slick, quick and much more user friendly.
I love what you've done with the blue highlighting, which really sets everything off nicely (well, nearly everything - there's still the odd rogue greenie around such as the HTC task manager highlights, but I'll live with that).
Thanks so much, you don't know how much happier this makes me with my new toy.

I dont think so, as I said... it only works on 6.5.x versions.
Because only these supports the thicker bottombar and the thinner topbar.
But you can always give it a try, it wont damage your phone.
But I am sure it wont work.

I've changed the theme previously created by Joshoon & Amarullz (@XDA).
Since he has another phone he's not updating his theme anymore so I asked if I could do this...
Well here's a newer HD Mini WVGA theme, it also contains the newer (hd mini) button layout (which means no start/close button, see my previous topic here) and this might need a reboot.
This updated theme is created to be dark gray so it'll save ur battery life + to reduce possible burned-in color/pixels (this seems to happen with white colors on an amoled screen).
The theme will work on WVGA (800x480) and vga (640x480)...
NOTE: Be carefull cz this theme will change ur button layout, just ask me if you want the same theme without this layout and i'll upload it aswell but as this is my own personal theme I left it like this. If you dun want this theme or the butlon layout you can simply uninstall it and reboot and it'll be ok again!!!!
Example of the possible button layout (Graphics will be different these are the older buttons but is just an example of the current button layout possibilities) see also this topic.
1: no button's like hd mini
2: normal (with start and close button) wm6.5.3
3: no start button but has close button

I've made a mistake yesterday (yeh it was late) so uploaded the wrong file... here are the right ones, I've made a dark and white version so choose what you like.
And here are also the separate button layout (patches) if you want to change it (back).
Looks good Jeff!
Don't forget to put it in the another bigger threat too, located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6158723
There is only one little bug I see, the text in the topbar, it's black, does not combinate right with the black topbar, maybe you should make it white?
realized that I uploaded the wrong file yesterday (it was late already ), so please download the right file now... believe it'll look better now I promise
So there were 5 downloaders you know it was you so delete the old file and redownload and select this theme a default please

ok fixed the bug for the title bar will upload soon.
k just fixed the title bar issue and some other glitches...
Just remember... you gotta reboot after swithing from a black to a white theme and other way around or you will have problems with the colors (like in the dialer background). But like I said this is fixed after a reboot...
I own a HTC Touch Pro and recently i have installed ur 'HD Mini theme' and i have to say i like it a lot. However the Touch Pro doesn't have a hardware start button but i will like to retain the look of the HD Mini layout while keeping the fuctionality of the start button. So i came up with this idea, replace the hardware home button and program it to be a start button and add a shortcut for the home screen on the start menu to retain the fuction of the home button. But the problem is that is it possible to do this? I think is possible, i have seen some who owns a HTC Diamond using a similar therory to achieve this, but the problem is that i don't know how to do it. Just wondering if the OP or anyuser kind enough to help make a cab for it. Thanks in advanced.
The best and the most simple solution for you is, I think, to change this reg key :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\BubbleTiles\HardwareStartKeyEnabled="1" Change it to "0"
...then you get your Start soft key button, and you still have your stock Home button functionnality which is useful.
Very nice theme, however I found a little bug in calandar and contact because the text windows background is white an the text white, so it's not possible to see what you write, you can see the text only when you go to the next text windows.
There is a way to solve this issue?
regards,
Hi all! In this thread you can ask me to make any custom graphics you want for manila.
I can also modify taskbars and WM themes.
Please post screenshots and point what you want to change, because sometimes it is difficult to understand what you are writing about.
I don't allow you to post my work on other sites (especially on 4pda.ru) or use it in your own mods.
And don't post your work in this thread. If you want to do this - ask my permission.

It's very stable and I tried it on manila versions from 2012 to 2018.
I made this theme 6 months ago and since then I am developing it. So I think you will enjoy it.
Theme contains more than 1000 graphical files. I took some graphics from android taskbar (Dark Ninja's) and slider is based on blackslide.cab (found on xda, sorry, but I don't remember the author), all other graphics were made by myself.
Warning - don't post this theme or parts of it on other sites.
Installation: Turn off manila and install cab for your CHT version (if you use it) and than install main cab
Main cab
Post theme reviews.
thanx fear, thats really nice of you. i'll have a think. i would LOVE a naruto theme so much! just a question of how best to implement the idea. on page 718+ of the leo today screen post people are discussing changing the mail background on the email tab ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=582619&page=720 ).would you be able to make a naruto style scroll to put in that place please? i've attached 2 images as reference. that alone would make a huge difference towards making the phone look naruto themed.

wow thats cool!
i would really love a metal gear solid theme!

People, am sorry, but no themes. to make a theme, you need to change 1000 graphical files - I made only 1 theme and it was horrible.
Any manila changes - you are welcome, but full theme - too much work.
hi fear
i'd like to have a background for the sms tab.
i could be an envelope like in the email tab, or just a black/grey shape like in calendar tab. it's the only tab because of i cant use bright background images...
i'm on manila 2.5.20121412 xannytech 2.3..
is this possible?
ok
I have a request, can you change the font colour on the mail tab (at the top of the page, MAIL in big letters) to light green?

hey fear. no stress, i completely understand. im just working on a general naruto look. as i said, that one mail background manila file would make a HUGE difference in itself. if you have the time i would be very greatful. im making a slider myself using hdwall, and thanx to cht i can skin the taskbars myself too, and thats pretty much all i need

Everything is possible, but I can't do this.
When looking at the text tab in sense, show the contact pic!!
We get the name and text, but the contact pic would be cool

Now you need to change font's color.
Any other requests?

WOW! thankyou fear,its amazing! and thanx for cabbing it too. its not quite what i meant but it looks REALLY good anyway. i'll let you make someone else's phone look great for now, but if you dont get any requests soon i'm sure i'll think of something
thanx again. i'll post a screen very soon.

hi fear. if you aren't busy and its not too much work would you be able to turn this into a mail background for me? just to have a look. this is the kind of thing i had in mind.
also if anyone likes it and feels like tidying it up that'd be amazing - i made it with ms paint so its pretty poor! any naruto fans out there feel free to use it too obv.
thanx in advance.
d
edit: also made these scrolls to use with cht as a softkey bar. its just another paint job, but it looks ok(ish). help yourselves
(i hope you dont mind fear, i know this is your thread. i'll remove this post again if you want me to)
finished. OK?
ps. I post default manila graphic - you can modify it.
cooooooool. thanx fear, you're a legend! that looks great. i hope i didnt seem ungrateful for your first one. i really am and it looks fantastic. just had an idea in mind and thought i'd experiment a little since you've so kindly offered to help people out. i'd love to be able to do it myself though.
but how does it work? i cant open the manila file with any of my image editors. i thought they are meant to be png format?
if its very complicated and you dont have time to explain please just post a cab for the background i sent, my painting isnt perfect, but i'd be VERY happy with it.
thanx again. d
D_Mon88
put this file in folder "windows" and enjoy
ps. or install cab
thankyou so much. i meant editing, but dont worry about it, i'll do some research and figure it out. have a nice evening
D_Mon88
to edit you need to use special program. You can modify this .png and post it hear and I will make it suitable for manila.
First of all much respect and big thanks.
I posted my shortcuts screen and the CAB I'm using for the frames.
My problem is: when I use bright wallpapers the shurtcuts have a black background. I'd like to have this black square removed.
It would be great if you could make this possible.
Thank you in advance.
aha ok, i see what you meant now. thankyou, thats very nice of you. if it doesnt bother you i might give it another try soon. things dont quite line up on this one because i used a tape measure on the screen and tried to calculate the pixel dimensions and ratios.lol. still, im very happy for now. thanx again
