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
perhaps the dude here can help....

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.
I made a few wp7 swype keyboard skins a while back. Here's a link to them if anyone's interested (click on image for link)..
White Background Screenshot..
Black Background Screenshot..
nice nando never seen em before.
I'm using lesscros and a couple that I played around with.

The theme shown here is Light Green. The rest of the preview screenshots follows a few posts below! "Slide Media" Home Screens added.
thanks
thats what i was looking for...
Me to, now the Red theme will look like the Guava theme from WM6.
Roland
you have made WM6.1 look like WM6 by putting the curved bar under the icon bar. Thanks for making my WM6.1 Vox looking even cooler than it already did.
Roland
Thank you!
FIRST POST UPDATED! The final release has been uploaded. Please delete the old one, as it will only waste space on your phone, when using the new rls.
The rest of the previews... As follows, Blue, Red, Grey, Purple, Magenta, Green, Brown, Yellow.
Danke! I've been looking for some themes for my SMT5800 and these seem killer.

amazing.. tho..
great work. now we may not need any custom themes at all, we can keep recycling these .. in order to match our moods..
Hello,
It's look great but I think I missed something.
Is there any plugin to run this screen? I copied all files (included in Colours.zip and Slide Media.zip) into Home Dir and it's doesn't work...
Any complementary information ?
Thanks

Well you obviously need WM61 on your phone, are you trying to use this on a WM6 ROM maybe?
When you extract the files to the Home DIR, there shoud be a bunch of xml-files named "Slide (Colour)" and a directory called Slide, that's it mate!

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:

Hi,it's maybe a special version modified for a provider . Theme are not available for the moment for V8 version ( look at copilot central ) .

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)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHB_8_4cBw4&NR=1
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!

If they really want to conquer the market, they should start making some of the "premium services" and the normal extras available soon...

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.
Dear all,
Thanks for all the useful tips over the past few years, I've finally done something worth giving back to the community.
I noticed the HD2 and diamond skins but there wasn't a skin available the correct resolution for my QVGA Touch2... So I decided to make one using the existing skins as examples. The process was pretty straightforward and took me about an hour playing around to get it right.
I know that there will be some issues so let me tell you what I already know before you come back to me to tell me.
Anti-aliasing is a bit rough around the edges, it looks best on white backgrounds. At any zoom level other than 100% it does not go transparent and you have a white edge (which looks a bit ugly). According to other similar threads this is due to a bug with MM not the skin itself.
Also if you switch the skin into landscape it goes wrong. I am hoping that somebody may have some ideas as to how to get MM to rotate the skin, or be able to set a landscape skin up. I could not find any examples of this.
Also I don't think the start button works, although the button is mapped out.
Enjoy, let me know if you have any ideas about rotating it. I don't have much time to adjust but thought other people may well want the same as I did, so here you are. Feel free to improve on it.

Edit: Attaching screenshots
Hei, can you post screenshots, i dont understand whats that...

That is the point! But there was not a skin for My Mobile which makes it look like the Touch2 until now. Those screen shots are actually displaying my phones screen, not an emulator or static screenshot.
Have a look at this site: fuzemobility.com/mymobiler-skins-for-htc-hd2-tp2-and-more/ and you should catch on.
Ok, thought that the screen was "automatically" displayed by mymobiler.....
And since I use direct mobile device connection, never had the need for mymobiler .....
Will give it a try.....thanks for clarification!
does anyone know of, or if it exists at all, a color change for the stock HD2 keyboard overlays (the green on the stock keyboard)? i have seen the elgancia themes, but i was hoping for just a stock looking kb with just the green replaced with say red. thanks in advance

I can do that for you.
To do this Im going to need a few files from your phone.
Well.... more like 30 files lol
There isnt just a way to overlay the colors, all the images in the keyboards that contain green need to be changed to red.
As it so happned Im looking for someone with an hd2 so that I can make a new skin set compatable for the hd2.
If you dont mind pulling the files I need, I can skin your files for you in as little as a few hours.
PM me if your interested
Alright, I have the latinIME.apk and I'm actually about to post a link from DB.
All I really am asking for is some color mods (There were alot in the HTC Hero sections) and since I upgraded to an Evo, I really miss it. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to work on keyboard mods for android 2.3.3 and up if you get it working, I would love you forever.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15069134/Mo... (Such as keyboard and system UI/LatinIME.apk
is the link for the keyboard.
The mod I'm looking for is the letters on the keys changed. Thanks alot guys.
Here is a kitchen you can use to make your own its really simple.

The color code for it is 0DF7FF which is a light blue. I used UOT to make a new theme for my phone and the color matches. FF0000 would be cool too.

It appears the theme isn't wanting to take. >.> Screw you Evo >=( First time it's being disobedient with a mod I applied. I want a red one to match the minimal red keyboard in the HTC Hero Gingerbread keyboards in the forums posted by User7816
I switched to Honeycomb 3D because the theme zip I made is being a **** head.
I'll upload the theme zip and hopefully you can learn a little about it or even dare I say it: Find what's wrong lol.
The color for the first code is thiswhile the second one is this
Hopefully someone can do this, I would love to see it on my phone
