I just upgraded from WM5 to WM6 using the Beasty rom. Explain this to me someone, why is the soft keyboard done in a horrible low res font? It used to be a decent proportional font on WM5, didn't it?
Is there a way of re-skinning it so it doesn't look so horrid?

Yes you can re-skin if you have Visual Studio or ResHacker...........
What DPi are you using, the res looks fine to me at 196DPi............. maybe it's my ageing eyes, but no one else has complained.
Cheers,
Beasty
Not sure what dpi it is, it just looks like it after the upgrade with no changes to any settings (640x480 screen, obviously). It's almost as if it's using the keyboard font intended for a 320x240 display.

Haha, finally the truth comes out!

I find this to be really interesting that the keyboard in the new “Beasty&Leo” ROM is ugly. Just because the new one is wearing new colors and it’s not naked anymore. That is just selfish and judgmental. I have to be honest here and I am not trying to defend anyone here, but the Keyboard in their new release is kind of cute and funky. But you did give a whole new meaning to the old saying “Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder”. I know it is really hard to accept a change and it is difficult but give it time and it will grow on you. Just for the sake of change, give it a chance.
But if you really have to be shallow search for Real VGA Cab and run on 128 or 96 DPI, and you will have the old keyboard back.

It's not being shallow, it's my eyes.

I will be doing a black one for the next release...............
Try to apply the black theme to every part of the rom..........
If I get time I'll do the 96DPi and 128DPi too........
Yes KOR, my eyes are starting to suffer.....16 years of working in IT is taking it's toll......LoL......... we had still green screens when I first got into the industry you know........ah brings back fond memories of Edlin.....NOT.......s......q..
Don’t you think that is just too much black? I am not racist or anything, but I still think it will be too much black. My favorite color is black though.

That exact theme is in the double_ofour 1933 V1 ROM kitchen. Here is a direct link to the kitchen. It's a big download, maybe someone knows where to find that exact theme by itself. I can extract the theme from the kitchen, but it's on my work machine so it would have to wait till Monday unless someone else has it.
u can download themes ... that's it .

Fantastic answer! Now you're the man!
Thank you GnatGoSplat and other users. I will try this rom from the link. If anybody will have this theme itself i would be very gratefull for a link.
Greetings
All the Colours you want straight from your Wizard
on your wizard go to go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=43709 then click on free ringtones, applications, and more and you will be able to download difrent themes. you get one with out registering but if you register you will be able to get all of them. registering is free.
Enjoy.
the theme you want is windows mobile green, which is in this file
http://rapidshare.com/files/67231178/Themes.rar
I was going to upload it here but i think attachments must have to be vetted by mods so they dont appear immediately and i also want the free points for my premium account on rapidshare
So if you download it please download as a free user, its 1.8mb and there about 50 themes in there

bluef1 i would feel extremely intelligent after fernadosaez's reply, now that was stupid
these are the best themes ive ever seen thanks
Thanks for sharing.
Thank's a lot "scousemartin" That's what i was talking about really thanks.
By the way these other themes are also very nice.
I didn't believe in this what Fernandes says i'm green in all this rom kichens and stuff but not so much green to believe in this accelerator story...
By the way thank's to everybody who was trying to help me.
Using the ocasion and your experience in this matter can you advice me which rom would be the best for me.
I got 6 wizards in my company. 5 of them is used by my drivers and i was thinking which rom would be good for them i need stable one with some extra programs that i can manage the pda desktop. The drivers are using mails and navigation and of course telephone.
Can you advice me some good rom because at this moment they are using oryginal Orange Windows Mobile 5 but this one really sucks hangs up almost every day missing calls ect. I will be gratefull for some advice.
Second question is can i do something with wizard which after unsucessfull rom flashing don't want to turn on anymore. When i took of the battery i see that screen flast some 0,05 sec so it's working but i cannot put him in BootLoader mode anything. I was trying also to wait few our without a battery but it didn't help eighter. No i will try 2 days but what next ? Can i still try something?
I was going step by step with advices from this forum but after flashing my cidlocked G4 with rom T-mobile 2.26 i saw splash screen with some beer and that was it. I turned off and never saw him life again. If somebody has some good ideas would be great.
One again thank's and greeeeeetings WIZARDS ...
glad you all like the themes , i only realised today that i didnt zip all the themes up but if anyone wants any more just let me know on here. As for roms and which is the stablest fastest etc, that is everyones personal choice, i personally go for tnt's professional + Home rom which can be found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341550
and i also use the tmobile 2.19 radio which you can get here
ftp://xda:[email protected]_Thread/T-Mobile-NL_2.19.11_Radio_Only.zip
I have had people saying that they have had their phone freeze when making a call but i have had no problems whatsoever with that. I would also install battstatus and overclock the device i overclock it to 247mhz and it runs great , it might use a bit more battery power but it runs pretty well and it makes tomtom 6 run much better (I mention that point, as you stated that 5 of the devices are used by your drivers). Also i would install tweaks2k2.net as you can remove permissions from each device. I.E. Stop your employees from changing things
Thank you once again for all advice, I'm really glad for it. I'm gonna start changing the soft on my mobiles one by one from today already.
Do you maybe have an idea also how to start this wizard which didn't stand up after flash as well?
Stupid?

Anyways, my intentions were good, so f... off
I've noticed that two of my coworkers with kaisers have ROMs that prerender the landscape switch. Instead of it displaying little by little, it freezes for a second and then displays the whole thing. Can anyone tell me how this is done? I would like to incorporate it into my Herald ROM and, unfortunately, searching has been less than fruitful.
Thanks guys!

I am worry this is not by design. Kaiser official WM6.0 is known for choppy video display and it's the freeze you see w/ landscape rendering.

Easy, just put lots of background programs and take the CPU to 100% load, then you can switch to landscape mode and see this special effect.

lol. Sounds like a good plan.
the new flip rendering is because of a new .dll found in the 6.1 update and a netherlands rom that came out a few months ago.
I believe it is the only thing in the updates that had any hardware accelerated functions.
i know that dutty incorporated it into his 6.1 roms but i am not sure if there is a cab with these driver updates only.
that said, you could try just copy and pasting the dll's into a rom image and tryin it on ur herald, but that might not work for ya- or it might be bad for ur device, id unno
to my fellow posters,
phew, after a long time waiting, and searching; the fuze has arrived. Its a nice phone, sleek; i just wish i had the original HTC TouchFLo instead of att crap. Build quality feels a little cheap, thank god for the insurance, a relief for us whom bought a tilt when they launched with no insurance. Though i hear the deductible is steep. Had a quick time at the at&t store, when it finally got to my turn. Joseph was nice and informative. I was not given free car charger and/or case like some lucky users, though i did take a swing at it.
So its here now, so what to do now guys? What are recommended roms, and programs etc? I want this phone to do everything lol
really would like :
touch pro EURO touchflo interface(if possible)
nice browsern and all that good stuff. Lets all come together and gasp in Fuze joy! Thanks guys!

hey asad:
bro you are asking questions that are really based on individual taste. What rom is recommended could differ heavily from one user to another .. imo monx aka hung tuah's roms are pretty good. I have tried his kaiser roms they are good.
as far as changing touchflo interface you can just flash a different rom that has the euro version or wait for someone to use a att build and incorporate the euro touchpro interface etc...
I would recommend looking around and searching for various cabs. The sky is the limit !!!

I am hungry, can you please tell me what I would like to eat?
No really, that is up to you! But if you ask me, try the RomeOS 1.40 I think it works best for now!
Also maybe you should consider changing the radio for better performance!
Good luck!

this is so simple its unbelievable you didnt look this up before buying your fuze
go to the diamond forum and get tf3d configurator you can put so many themes on
Got mine today also!
I put my tilt on sale last night just in case the Fuze was out, and bought my Fuze today also. the rom is slow and sluggish I need a rom fast. The phone is cool though, a little smaller than I thought, but cool.

In my experience of trying them out over the past couple of weeks, most of them dont work on the Fuze in landscape mode. Hopefully that will change now that there are so many Fuzes out there!
I know Nisse has a couple that work on the Fuze so he is a good place to start. (I've been running his HTC Black theme since he released it and i like it a LOT better than the stock AT&T theme...)

In the Phone's settings, System Tab, Disable AGPS, go to External GPS, set the GPS program port to COM0.
Start up WLM, and your GPS will work perfectly
im using 02 blue that one is working so far but of course landscape is boring gray
and what must i do to make gps work with google maps it doesnt seem to find a satellite?

Please dont post here see first post for details
Hi Guys,
I don't know about u...but i dislike the comb as it is I made a small version of it. Check if u like and replace CPR on ur ROM's.
Here
I like that better than the regular comb. But i still hate it. Figure out how to get rid of it on 6.5 and go back to the 6.1 style Its the only reason i dont like 6.5 so far..but good job That will make it better.

i didn't like the "comb" at first but it has grown on me, like it better than the 6.1 style, mainly because the 6.1 won't let you keep the theme image in the background, grew tired of seeing the white background.
just a matter of learn...
Well...i like the way comb works...just dislike the design. For those who want to use mobile while driving...its more usefull indid. Of course it could be a bit more developed...for instance: when is not touched...user could see icons...but while finger is on screen...it could get a bit darker except on the area around finger. Just a tip...
