Hello boys'n'girls
I just watched a YouTube video of a CoPilot/HD2 review, and it looks like the guy have a "black theme" installed for his CoPilot.
I bought CoPilot for my TOPAZ some time ago, and of course I moved it to my new LEO. For all the time I have used CoPilot, I have been searching the web like an insane little monkey for some themes for CoPilot since the red/blue theme is killing me...
(not litterally killing me, just trying to make a point)
I haven't been able to find any themes anywhere.
When I saw the vid on YouTube, I e-mailed the guy that made it via his website and asked him where he got it. He hasn't replied yet...
My question/request is if anyone of you either know of a place where to get some themes, or if one of you wonderfully creative people could perhaps start making some?
Thanks in advance
PS: Here is the vid from YouTube:

Yes I know it's not available from the CoPilot Central...
Nothing really is
But since they are so slow to make some themes themselves, perhaps someone else could?
I guess, that if you know what you're doing, it shouldn't be too hard...!?
This guy also have it with a black theme (and he's got really small hands too)

Seriously...
I know that italian men are tiny, but comon...
The HD2 looks like a netbook in his hands
Edit: HD2 in Italian/Danish hand for comparison...
copilot skin
hi,
I have the same problem, I hate the red/blue theme of copilot and i want a black theme like in the videos above.
The only thing I've find is that the UI pictures are stored in \Copilot\Skin\skin.dat
if you open this file with an hexadecimal editor you'll see that it is composed of many png files (more than 1000 pictures !!)
I'm able to extract one png but I'm not able to replace the picture, if I try copilot doesn't start anymore.
so if someone have a solution...
My friend is here with his HD2...
He has the CoPilot trial installed, and his is black like the one in the vids.
His version number is 8.0.0.457
Mine is 8.0.0.346
Perhaps this is the issue...!?
I'll try and copy his skin.dat file over to my device and see if that works...
If it does, I will post it here for download
Here are the Skin !
I have 8.0.0.457 with the black skin.
I can mail them because is not possible to upload them at the moment.
BR Tom
It works fantastic!
I just copied his entire skin folder over to my device, and et voila!
Looks bloody amazing
Here is the skin folder for download, enjoy!
http://cid-b7957bd22a08b64c.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Offentlig?uc=1&isFromRichUpload=1
Just UnRar and copy over the excisting skin folder on your device
A couple of the buttons are white on my device, that are black on his...
But overall, it looks sooo much better than the blue/red theme
I thought all the CoPilots that come pre-installed on the HD2 have the black skin? Mine does.

Propably.
I installed the downloaded and paid for version I had on my SD card...
- which has a blue/red theme.
Perhaps I should do a hard-reset and register the pre-loaded version, it seemed like there were a few differences between the two versions from just looking at the two side-by-side...!?

maybe it's because it lacks severals UI pictures.
The skin.dat file you post is about 4 Mo
and for example my skin.dat (copilot 8.0.0.346) is 6Mo
but for the white background of the popup menu I have a solution, see my next post
solution for white background
To have a black interface for copilot 8.0.0.346 (without the bug of white popup background) copy the attached file in your copilot\skin\ folder:

Just uploaded on to my X1i with Copilot Live 8.0 on it..
NICE! Well done chaps.. Looks so much better!
Just need some other things to become available from ALK, like some voices and other things... I think they're a bit lame having all the features on Central 2.0 and then not actually following up the development!! Come on ALK pull your finger out!

Id like to see more of these good and important reflections about users
and their handsets. Nice going!
Im curently useing my HTC Desire and trying to get this black
theme to work with the android version.
I got a message saying "Extracting theme" but I cant choose it in the
theme menu.
Any suggestions?
fyi, tried to make this work with latest version of copilot 8.0.0.644 and it just breaks the app. wish they just put out an official theme for this. any chance you guys could help me make this work on this version?
Yeah, I tried it and it didn't even show up in my themes area to install. We need a skin for the latest version for sure.

^_^ well, im in the process of learning about making themes... and I wanted to share what i have so far.
these all support landscape. They are QVGA.
(I did not draw these... I only made the themes.)
im still struggling with getting the Start menu text from white to black upon changing a theme... Is there a way for this to be done automaticly instead of with a reg tweek on the end user's side? ...
hmm...
*******edit update: whoa! the setting to change start menu colors was right in my face. wow... so im fixing all the ones that need fixed. *done*

any christmas themed-anime-theme? something in red-white-green would be fine
ah sure ^_^ I didnt make any because Its so close to being over with the season. But yeah, not a problem. As soon as i get home today. Looking forward to it.
These themes are really good, 0okami. I'm using the nekomimi theme now. But you are right that it'd be nice to see the text in black in some of the others.
Must a say nice work !!! Keep it up !
I've got this image.. but lazy to do a tsk. See if you can use it. (PNG in ZIP attcahed)

I understand which one vijay555 decided to give his warning about.

Hi bros,
I installed and used the allblack thme, but still topand down are greyish. When I open the theme wih tkcreator, everthing looks black. How can you make it all black? (see pic)
I read about a carbon fiber skin (theme) for phonealarm, but I can't find it. Can anyone post it plse?
Try this. an improved version, should give you a black one.
You can get the better versionn of the carbonfiber skin from phonealarm website
http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html
Thanks guys
My lookalike screen, but better
Guys, thank you again for the information. I think that I stick with this screen. It looks good and is better than iphone screens, since our hima has so much more to offer.
So in the end how did you get your theme black?
registry tweaks
i have a mda compact 2 not sure if its a charmer or magician..can you tell me how do i remove the battery icon from the bottom taskbar to the top task..
thanks again for the reply it helped..

Charmer. Go Wiki and find t-mobile official site. Flash the new AKU ROM (Eg the update available to download) will do the job.

I would like to know as well...I tried installing the attached theme and still got the gray bars. Tried ThemeGen and UITweaker also, same story. Maybe my Wizard doesn't like black?
Have a read around the VJBaseHue threads. ZeBoxx posted some of the registry settings for an all black theme I think, and some of the users posted great links to ready made ones.

Just did a quick read through of your BaseHue forum and downloaded the CAB...installing it now although I think it may be the answer...
Unfortunately BaseHue wasn't the answer for my Wizard (but a nice app nonetheless)...
I did find a theme that got rid of my persistent gray bars and gave me the black that I was after.
Black Theme Here
It actually downloads as a pack of 4 themes for WM5 machines...the carbon black extra, or whatever it is was the one I used to great effect on my PPC.
Sorry, I hoped I was clear. BaseHue alone won't help you, but the research done by ZeBoxx and others and discussed in that thread, and the themes posted in that thread and others utitiled the flat soft keys needed for an all black theme IIRC.

for QVGA
do a 320x240 bmp for landscape
and a 240x320 for portrait
put them in the RES folder of your Slide2Unlock dir
name them wallpaperL.bmp (landscape)
and wallpaper.bmp (portrait)
I have 3 new ones now. . .
i have 3, but this is the only one i use... the other 2 are the earth one that Apple has been showing off lately, and another earthy-space like thing, i dont know why i like those so much...but this one i like the best
How about posting some of thesee for download.. portrait and landscape modes.
here are mine. I just made the landscape one, so I'm not sure how good it looks, I never use landscape myself. I am working on a dialer skin that matches the theme now as well.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2250095&postcount=43
Hello...just downloaded this version of CHome Weather and it looks amazing...great job. There's only one problem, probably related to the 240x320 cpr file because, like I already read in the excalibur forum, there's an issue in 240x320 where the background looks a little odd and doesn't fit the area like it supposed to. But again amazing job...keep it up
EDIT: I've just used a version of the 240 x 320 cpr file already used in another version of your plugin and it works great now
I was just now testing the other layouts and there are some issues:
- I realized that everytime i change the layout, it doesn't matter the cpr 240x320 file i did put there because when the layout is changed the cpr file is kind of replaced by the one corresponding to the sellected layout.
- In the HTC and Iphone layout, it shows always an icon with a cross below the icon of the current weather, instead of showing the icon corresponding to the weather.
- In regular layout, the gold and silver backgrounds don't work well in 320 x 240.
- In the regular layout, in the 1 and 3 layouts, I can't see the hi and low temperature.
Yeah, you'll have problems with the portrait layouts.
Is it possible to fix the problem with portrait?? That is the last thing, that keeps me from donating.
I am so happy with this program. I worked as Organic M's test subject to get this working. I can't say I notice the problem you guys are talking about in regards to portrait mode.
This is what I see:
have the author, removed the files from the location... I am unable to get those...
Can someone help plzzzzzzz!!!!!!!
Thanks

There are 2 links in the main post at the top of this thread.
The first one is the weather program
The second one is all the files that need to be installed to /windows on your device
Davis,
From your post, it looks like that screen is in ladscape mode. Portrait is taller than wider, yours looks wider than it is taller.
Thanks a lot.. I found the same at the post. I was just eager to get Weather update on my VOX...So got carried away...

Well if you put it that way, you'll definitely NOT get me to fix the portrait layouts. How about.. "here's a small donation and small request... I would really appreciate it if you could work on the portrait layouts(which is a major PITA) so this works properly on my phone".
Well then I Only wanted to know if it is possible to do it. But I can live without it. I can look outside to see the weather. You know I made a lot of stuff for the Vox...but I never received ANY donation!!!
works beatifull. got no issues with any layout (i'm using plain black background). excellent job!
the only question i have is if it is possible to manually edit order of appearance on home screen somehow as i could do it in standard homescreens in _home.xml file?

This is definitely NOT what I wanted to happen here. I worked with Organic M to get this app to work with our phone models and he was nice enough to help us out.
This is far from the thanks that he deserves, since the app is designed for an entirely different model.
Why so serious? can't we all just... get along?

I have no idea what you are talking about....
???
As I said I only wanted to know if it is posible nothing more. And I just wanted to clarify that people here are not thankful! I really do apreciate his work. And the work of all the other coders and cookers! I hope you understand my point!
Does this plugin use necessarily the whole width of the screen, or is it possible to customize its size or layout (present conditions, 2-days forecasts, 5-days forecasts...)?
At present I'm using Fizz Weather with Orange plugin on my Wings, in order to show an analoug clock and weather forecasts next to it (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=89987&d=1212446950); will it be possible to make the same thing with Chome Weather?
So... is anyone still interested in making this work better with the Vox ? Maybe ask some of your ROM cookers to look at the policies in the registry and ask them remove the restricts that don't allow cab files to copy files to the \windows directory ? Then I wouldn't have to make two separate .cab files when I released a new version That, and if anybody wants to help test the portrait layouts, we can make this happen.
Yes it would be great to see the weather plugin fully working on the Vox...that thing about the restrictions I never understood that because after checking myself the registry many times, I saw that the restrictions were disabled and the thing about installing files in the windows folder still remains a problem...
id like to add a bit of colour to the keyboard on my hd2 as im finding the gray look a bit dull. im thinking maybe something like red letter/number keys, black arrow and surrounding keys and leave the background bit between the keys as it is. the letter/number keys have to have a faded look, dark red at the bottom slightly fading at the top. is this possable, or am i wanting too much lol........
cheers

nah, looks no different to what we have now. i'd like a colour scheme something like this.......
is it even possable..?
i take it thats a no then.....
it has to be possible, try finding where the keyboards files are located or maybe there is a registry key for it ...
after you find where the files are at you can start playing around with them...
please let us know if you find out anything...
if what your looking for is to have the letters in white and the rest of the keyboard in red then yes it is possible.
I could do that for you if your willing to to pull about stock 30 files off your phone.
I just finished a keyboard skin for my touch pro 2 and it has a slightly different layout then the hd2.
That being said I need the stock files from an hd2 to be able to make a skin for one as it is.
I can make your skins in return for the files I need

He knows what he is doing graphically, I will say that
He might be able to make the skins for sure, but he cant pack it into a cab or change the color of the text. He has all his files in a zip
Hes had requests already for a cab and for different letter colors and he said he doesnt know how.
He also has alot of comments on there regaurding the SIPBitmaps.dll file not working properly. So I dont think he knows how to resolve that.
I dont blame him hough, It took me hell to fgure it out the first time around.
im using a windows 7 style swype keyboard.
elegancia comes with a skinned "typestyle" keyboard.
sorry guys.
as far as swype goes theres a swype folder in the windows folder that you can play with the keyboard graphics and replace.
