I was looking for skins for VITO's SMS-Chat. It's probably one of the best programs for sms messaging so far and the most finger friendly, but I was curious if it would be possible to make a skin or find a library of skins somewhere online.
Please help
I am looking for skins 2! Vito sms-chat realy rocks!
If you have any, let me know
Same here.

Ive searched too and only discovered the standard grey/white and the black for the v1.16
I hope other skins exist out there or someone is working on some
go to wad 2 storm redux i dunno if thats the actual name but they have a cool black berry storm type theme for sms that i use
same here also.
For your info, when I used VitoSMS a while ago, there were NO skins out there.. only the original one. i searched and searched and couldn't find anything..
I know and it's terrible because this application seems to be the best. Finger friendly, popup notifications, chat exporting, what more could you ask for? Personally I'd like to see a Diamond theme for SMS-Chat, would match nicely with all my other apps.
I wrote something about it in the guides thread, but with all due respect to Vito, SmileySMS is much nicer and more useful.. and you can generally skin it the way you like.
i have try to make a skin for smschat... but i am non very good...
when i tried this test on my ppc ol grafics are mess up, i see only blu and green line..
i have attach the test!
PS.i use the grafics from ezimput!!
Iphone-skin for v1.16 vito-sms-threaded

Guys, I was at the Modaco meeting this weekend, and one of the Microsoft guys there said that the green theme has just been given legal clearance to be released to the public.
Give it a while and then we can start bugging them if they don't release it.

Has anyone of you any idea on how to switch back to the traditional blue colored homescreen ?
Would that be an easy task or require modification of the firmware ?
Asking urgently for advice !
Thanks.
It's a Theme
Settings->Today :roll:
As I see there is still no info about the green htc theme ....
is there any tytn roms avaliable for download? maybe i will be able to dump one a get the theme from there.
I think the Theme is just a .TSK file in the \Windows folder.
The only thing different is the CommManager.. ..you can't skin that yourself. So you have to extract that.
Havn't seen any ROM for the TyTN yet
Here is the HTC TyTN Theme. This will not change the Phone Skin or Comm Manager Application
sweet thanks!!!!
thanks a lot rkorzuch i have searched for this theme a lot
thank you for sharing!
that green is hard to match!
HTC_default.tsk vs HTC_default using start image theme
Ben thon sent me an updated HTC_default.tsk theme he made using start image only (no tdywater.gif). Ben noted there were differences between the 2 themes even though they use identical color keys and images.
This may be because WM5 chooses dominant color in the Today image.
The differences seen are in the title bar and menu text - see pics
Please try both versions and post your results.
I have attached both tsk files the normal one without the system attributes that made it hard to copy theme via activesync.
Hi guys, I have made a bunch of themes, and I thought I would share...

It seems to me this forum is missing a single "themes" based folder for themes only on the Windows Mobile platform. Anyone else think so?
how 'bout this one...

centerbar below the clock
nice themes, daaamn they are looking good.
One question: I see at your Today screen your centerbar with the icons is transparant, mine is still a light black bar with the icons on it. How can I put it transparant? Other software?
further.. good job, many respect!

Stupid ?
Where do I place this file or folder on the device? I cant find any directory listed as themes or anywhere other themes exist. Anyone??
Very nice, clean work. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, I agree that we need a Themes sticky with nothing but Themes.
Hello everybody,
I did search but no luck. Maybe it has not been done yet.
What I would like is to have a mania 2.1 theme that looks exactly as the sub-menus look. White.
This would be good for several reasons:
1. You would actually see your screen in direct sunlight. I suppose you know what I mean...
2. It would give the phone an elegant clean look.
3. It would give the good old manila a new look but at the same time it would not be exaggerated or too colorful.
I would be glad to help any developer who is interested, but unfortunately I don't have the coding knowledge...I know design though and would be glad to provide any kind of image manipulation services if it's needed.
If this already exists please help me with a link
Also, what we might need if a white upper and lower taskbar theme to make this complete.
The HTC Fuze (for AT&T) stock ROM includes a white theme. It shouldn't be too hard to modify the art a bit to remove the AT&T-ificiation, and make a nice white theme.

Personally, I have experienced that white text/icons on a black or black-ish background give me sufficient contrast for daylight use. Perhaps you should turn off your light-meter and set the backlight lumens to 100%.
Thank you for your reply. Yes. I was looking for something similar... The only difference would be to have it the default touchflo 3d sub-menu color scheme.
It would also help me if someone would guide me to a thread that is about changing the text color...that would be useful too. If I could change the text, the only thing that remains would be the slide-bar which is easily customizable.
Thanks
As I was looking further I found a thread and it seems like he has only just started the work.
Here's the thread:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=79323
And the image:
that reminds me of chocolate vanilla poptarts. and now i really want some poptarts!
edit: by the way that doesnt look like manila 2.1 (i typed vanilla at first, hehe, damn delicious poptarts!) like he wanted. but it looks like a white background and a white slider canvas and a black flip clock. how hard could it be to get those up and working?
Yes.
All we would need would be:
1. Black text - which I couldn't find
2. A Custom Slider - which is not as important
3. A black clock which can also be found somewhere - not too important either.
And it seemed easy to me too, but unfortunately no one has made this before. If it is that easy please point me to a thread where I can get the black text from (for manila 2.1) and I'll be happy because the slidebar isn't that bad this way either.
ask in the manila 2.1 port thread. im sure someone will get you some black text.
hey look what i found. retro eh?
Yeah, retro indeed. I asked in the manila 2.1 port thread but they seem to be too busy with answering other questions and didn't take the time to even respond.
I can understand them because they have enough on their mind...poor guys work a lot for free so you can't be mad at them for not answering.
I just hope that one day someone will take the time to change the manila text to black.
I have an idea for Icons, quick links, notifications, slider, and bottom soft key bar that I would like to see come to life.
The problem is, I'm not a dev, I do not have Photo shop, and if I ran out and bought it, I would'nt know how to use it.
SOOOO, My idea with your talents, and this would be one rockin package. I might even learn a few things along the way
I was looking at a pic of a etched glass globe, and said WOW that would look so nice as icons/theme on my phone. I wonder how hard it would be to do.
Here is the pic of my insperation. If your interested in taking this on, please contact me, and lets get the ball rolling.
Cheers

Hey, you dont need to create a whole theme for this i guess, you already have all the tools in this forum to do so. E.g Just use Hello00's glossy theme and a glass icon set, then use the above globe image as your background.
See my screenshot, the clock is hel00s gloss clock and the icons are Dinik's Anastasia set if i remember correctly. It will look sweet with the globe.
Try and out and let us know how u get on.
thanks for the tip, looks nice.
But, I was thinking of making the images for the glass icons in an etched look, and doing the rest of the elements IE, soft bar, slider, clock, ect etched as well. The flip clock is probibly already out there (or something close to it) and shouldnt take to much to do.
The rest how ever would take a lot of PS time.
Ah, i see what you mean.
Im sure somebody will be able to help you with this.
It will look good when done.
Ill be watching this thread, good luck with it.
Very nice concept, far beyond my abilty, but I will look forward to a capable designer to create these.
its not so easy...you have to know 3d editing...like 3d max...there is a 3d ball and a texture placed on it. it looks only good...because the globe texture need to be round...but if you place something not round...like home...it gonna look horrible.
honestly, I was not seeing a 3D image in my mind. more like taking your Anastasia template and putting a etched image in the layers representing the app.
The idea of a 3D image would look nice, but be a lot of work.
Hello all!
A few days ago i came acros two things that caught my attention
1. a font that i absolutely love
2. a 6.5.x softkeybar, i'm absolutely not good at finding those things so could you please help me with that?
the softkeybar:

use the forum "search" function and you'll find tons of this stuff
about fonts these are the most used here and here
for the softkey bar you have to install a new WM skin , too many to link here and depends on your taste
here some classics from Artemis ROM thread

Search i did use and i did found tons of the stuf (overkill), but not the one i'm looking for and i hoped maybe someone could give me a name of the things (if i have that it's quite easy to find) or post links like you did
for the font i'll check kd-font, haven't checked that app yet and for the artemis skins: I am an artemis user
oh and thanks for your help and time, i appreciate it
it looks like this one, and btw you should search for taskbar not softkey bar, gives better results, also maybe it's only me but it seems that search via google (using site:forum.xda-developers.com paremter) works better than the xda one

taskbar is the upper one, so it won't give better results but totally different
the requested "softkeybar" is related to winmo skin

you think gewoonjan meant the bottom one, I assumed it was about the upper, but reading again I think you may be right
thanks for your efford to reply here, but jjollyroger is right, i do mean the bottom one of the bars
I use an android skinned taskbar and to finish my phones transformation a bit more i'd love to have that font 0=)
guess i just have to try and pm the person who made the screenshot or pm dinik, and my guesses are that there's never gonne be a reply on my question :'D
anyways thanks for your time and suggestions!
Hi Gewoonjan,
I think this is the softkeybar you're looking for, I got no idea who the author is so credit to everyone who deserves. Just rename it properly and overwrite it in /Windows directory, I hope you like it.
Unfortunately I can't help you about the font, it is a nice one and I wish to have it too, so if you find it please don't forget to share it with us
Best regards.
