Hmm. Seems there is a problem with a couple of files. I'll upload a corrected version ASAP.

Sorry!

*** UPDATE: added new image file to post #1
[Windows Mobile Themes] neonstorm:
Uploaded wallpapers and misc images for Slide2Unlock and ContactManager in post #1.

No screenshot for Slide2Unlock because, well, the device is locked. :) It's the same wallpaper but not as dark, so it looks nice and vibrant.

[Windows Mobile Themes] sammy_deluxe:
Very nice! :D

Is it possible to get a video call button at the dialpad?
[Windows Mobile Themes] neonstorm:
Thanks for the compliment! Unfortunately, at my current "skill" level, no. :( (notice the 'airquotes' around skill.)

I'm not really up on actual programming, this is simply a graphic overhaul of an existing skin.

If anyone out there can help me modify the actual layout, please feel free to chime in!!

Sorry!

Plus, for reference, the original:

@Dax:

I got the email notification of your post, then checked the thread and saw your reason for retracting it. :)

Just for curiosity, is there something I can spell out better in the (admittedly vague) instructions? I know they probably skip a lot of 'read between the lines' steps, so if there's something that'll make it clearer please let me know!

Is it working OK for you? I don't think I've gotten any feedback yet that anyone else has it working, and I'm curious to know if it does.

Your post did help, because I noticed that the landscape theme background doesn't quite match the landscape dialer background. I've worked hard to keep them all uniform and avoid the wallpaper jumping up and down when you switch screens... :(

Ryan
[Windows Mobile Themes] daxliniere:
That's it. I must be officially dumb; I cannot find any information anywhere about how to apply a separate skin to the Touch dialer.

I was already using the PhoneBoost Lite with the Eten skin. Is this the same thing as the reTouched dialer you linked? (Again, I can't find any information linking the two)

Thanks,

Dax.
[Windows Mobile Themes] neonstorm:
Nah, don't feel dumb. No problem at all. They're not related - I got the Touch dialpad from here. I got it simply to get rid of the horrendous T-Mobile dialpad. After I installed it, I wasn't overly impressed by the looks of this one either, and realized that all of the graphic elements were simply .png's in the Windows directory. I used the old dialpad as a reference for size and layout and created a whole new set of graphics to use instead of the default Touch ones. There's no coding or software manipulation at all on my end, it's all strictly graphical.

Hope it helps,

Ryan
[Windows Mobile Themes] shantzg001:
hey, just a quick question, what kinda smart dial is there in the touch dialer...is it the one from microsoft that is inbuilt in wm6 or is it the one from HTC...I personally liked the htc one better as it it showed me the number of the contact without having to press a key on the contact...
[Windows Mobile Themes] daxliniere:
Thanks NeonStorm,

It's well past midnight here, but I was sure I was losing my mind anyway ;)

[Windows Mobile Themes] djredtiger:
great work! looks really nice!
[Windows Mobile Themes] devil24:
neonstorm,

Thanks a lot for such a nice dialer! I'm really digging it :D.

Now, even though I like the grey theme, I'd like to use it with a different background, but no matter which one I pick, the dialer always shows the "Rocks" one on it. Is there a way to keep and use your dialer and its nice transparency with any other background pic?

Thanks again and keep up the good work!
[Windows Mobile Themes] neonstorm:
Thanks for the compliment!

If you post a portrait and landscape wallpaper (240x320 and 320x240) I should be able to do it. I've designed the graphics to make it pretty easy to replace the wallpaper and keep the transparency...

Or are you referring to the default Touch background I showed?

Ryan
[Windows Mobile Themes] devil24:
I would like to use it with more than one background, so what I'm looking for is something like a nice "standard" (plain-ish, but nice) background for the dialer, say, in a dark color or something, still keeping the nice transparencies.

Maybe I'm being too picky... but since you have the "skill" (and yes, you do!), I'm sure you can come with a couple of ideas :D.
[Windows Mobile Themes] neonstorm:
The files are on my laptop at work, so I can crank something out tomorrow. in the meantime take a look at pocketpcscreens.com and see if there are any wallpapers you want. Otherwise I'll just use a neutral one...

I've tried replacing the .png file in the blackdrops theme with this and then installing in the win directory but the the dialer just comes up like to original with blank buttons????

Okay so I am a newb i admit it, I cannot seen to access my phones window folder on my PC so I cannot extract the zip to my windows folder. can anybody give me a hint on how this is doen. I am using the activesync tool bu no luck finding it.

Either copy to your mem card, which will be faster, or allow view protected/system files in your folder options on your pc.

Here is "Reanimation" theme dialer
[Windows Mobile Themes] robosiris:
Or you can try completely deleting all the subkeys at HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\ AND AT HKLM\Software\HTC\Phone Canvas). (This is the long way).

Once you do that, install the dialpad of your choose. THEN restart/soft your device. Hopefully this will work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] NiteStalker:
Excellent job, here is Cubes, matches my favorite Mobileshell Skin.
[Windows Mobile Themes] c@rL0$:
Here are others that I have created
[Windows Mobile Themes] blazingwolf:
Are you going to post them?
[Windows Mobile Themes] c@rL0$:
All of these dialers are part of the New Vouge / Big Button Dialer / Blue Frog Dialer.

Those with out cab's need to be installed via copy and paste to the /windows directory followed by a soft reset.

The rest should have cab's.

Remember to uninstall any other dialer if it is none of the one's I mentioned above first.

Here are some screen shots of some of my dialers.

update:

for the matrix dialer you will need to import the history and erase buttons manually after you installed the cab.

The cab does not include the buttons in the screen shot. I had to make those separate.
[Windows Mobile Themes] c@rL0$:
Here are the zip files.
[Windows Mobile Themes] c@rL0$:
Here are more dialers for you guys to enjoy;)

These packages include a TAP OUT Dialer, UFC Dialer, and a Philadelphia Eagles Dialer ( my favorite team )

[Windows Mobile Themes] Aaron McCarthy:
Hey Carlos... I just installed your vista dialer.. which looks great. However, on my phone (HTC touch - Vogue) The dial pad buttons dont show up. Just the original HTC dial buttons. The Background, erase and history button are in the vista theme while the dial buttons stay dark grey. I looked through the files and it seems like the actual dialpad button pngs werent included.. Maybe this is on purpose? When I have installed dial pads before there were always replacement button files named "NmBtn0dn_Land" etc for each button on the dial pad.

If this was done on purpose and the background is just supposed to go through is there anyway I can correct it so the grey buttons dont show? OR.. Could you post a new zip with the number buttons? I realize that may be a pain.

Thanks!

Aaron
[Windows Mobile Themes] c@rL0$:
I am assuming you soft reseted your phone.

But if it doesn't work after it is because this isn't the original Touch / Vouge Dialer.

This is a substitution ( Blue Frog / aka new vouge )

The original Vouge / Touch dialer needs more files then the Blue Frog does.

If you want a custom dialer let me know.

You can describe how you want it to look or upload a reference picture.

To all other user. If you want a custom dialer, Specify whether you are using a Touch / Vouge or if you need the BlueFrog Aka New Vouge dialer.

The only difference is that the Vouge / Touch dialer needs extra files when it is being created.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Aaron McCarthy:
Hi,

I did do a few soft resets haha.. But yes if you dont mind at all.. I'd really like a visa theme one like you posted a few posts back.. the vista reanimations. I use the Touch Vogue so I guess I need those extra pngs like I had said in the last post.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] c@rL0$:
Here is another Vista Dialer specially made for the Touch / Vouge.

It includes the files but even better a installation CAB.

Excellent!!! Thanks Carlos!!!

Filename of ProgressBackground ?

I am searching since days for an answer and found this threds. Sorry for disturbing here, because I have a Toshiba G900 with WM 6.0 and 480x800, but I try to skin the dialpad too. This is no problem for the dialer_background because there I could find a picture file in windows directory.

It is called dlrback_port.png

I do not have a file for the progress background, but I need it very urgent. I tried with prgback_port.png, but this did not work :( Now it just shows the dlrback_port.png as the progress backround too and the grafic does not fit!

Perhaps someone here knows the filename for WM6 for the progress background?
[Windows Mobile Themes] kbywg:
I'd like to take you up on that offer. Here is my speaker grill BG I'd like to see made into a dial pad. I currently have the Holes Dialpad on my Touch. If possible could you make it with all separate key buttons as well as the 4 rows of buttons so I can compare. Not sure which one I like. I'll gladly buy you a beverage of yer choice for the effort. Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Themes] devil24:
Thanks!

I'll let you know if I found one that I like, but for now, go with the neutral option :)... that'd be perfect.
[Windows Mobile Themes] neonstorm:
Here's a few I've been toying with. I'm having trouble getting a 'neutral' wallpaper that looks good with the transparent buttons... They all come out looking kind of bland. :(

[Windows Mobile Themes] Bryan858:
Looks great..

I really like the last few that you have added. I have an 8525 on HTC rom and have a video button I have no use for. I was wondering if you can direct me to the exact link I need so I can download your dialers and put it into my phone? I'm a newbie so if you can put the directions a little more clearly it would be great.. Thanks so much and great work..- Bryan
[Windows Mobile Themes] neonstorm:
@garmer:

You tried to overwrite the files, but Windows wouldn't let you? What was the message it gave you?

@Bryan:

These last few were just a few ideas I was tossing around, I haven't made them yet. Which one are you interested in, and I can make it first?

Ryan
[Windows Mobile Themes] Bryan858:
They all look great..

I'd like to use the one on the far right of the three you posted with the dimpled wall image or grill thing, Kinda looks like a golf ball close up but its pretty classy and the blue one of the pairs you posted, the grey looks nice as well but the blue just pops out more...
[Windows Mobile Themes] devil24:
Dude, I like them all, hehehe... but #4 and #5 are great and just what I was asking for... you rule!

If you can make them available, I'd really appreciate it... they aren't as flashy as your "Rocky" one, but they are perfect IMHO.

Thanks a lot for the time you're spending doing this!
[Windows Mobile Themes] neonstorm:
Check posts #1 and #2. I've changed the way this works a little. There's one default set of button images, and then you download the background of your choice.

I also added the 'Blue' dialer and theme and the 'Holes' dialer and theme. BTW, the 'Holes' image is actually a closeup of a phone handset.

I should be able to get the grey one out soon...

[Windows Mobile Themes] lurker525:

[Windows Mobile Themes] greg3d:
Does this work with WM5, and does the smart dialer still work?

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Themes] famewolf:
I second this..please provide #5!

I'm attaching a wallpaper you might like to try.....
[Windows Mobile Themes] neonstorm:
Here is a black dialpad skin... It's a little different from the first one I posted because I got a cleaner result with this one.

I also attached the raw png's if anyone wants to try their hand at it. To do this you'll need an editor capable of handling layered png's. I use Adobe Fireworks. Basic apps like MS Paint will not work... All you need to do is insert your background at the lowest level (i.e. behind the other elements). You can also change the font face/size/color. Remember: save them as a 'flattened png' which will greatly reduce the file size. This not only saves memory, but if you don't the phone app will be very sluggish.

If anyone comes up with something, please post here for us to see!

Enjoy!

Ryan
[Windows Mobile Themes] neonstorm:
@greg3d:

I'm not sure, but I assume at the worst you could just uninstall the dialpad and delete the images from \Windows. I have heard of problems with other dialers that cause the loss of SmartDial, but not so far with this one.

@famewolf:

I like that one! I'll knock one out soon...

Ryan
[Windows Mobile Themes] famewolf:
I don't know if it's just depth perception but something seems to be missing on the touch screens...take for example this zphone skin (which won't work for us folks)..the text is sharper and looks engraved...I'm no graphics artist so haven't a clue what terminology to use....

Another Dialer I used to use was the JPL4 Vista Black but it doesn't support smartdial...I enclosed a screenshot too for comparison.

I use linux so maybe I can play with gimp and see if I can steal elements from these for ours.

Ryan, Would it be possible to steal the buttons and History from the vista black to use on one of ours?

As famewolf mentioned, you may want to browse the thread where the default dialpad was released. I believe it was released for the Wizard, which runs WM5 so it's probably safe... :confused:

Thanks!! As far as the button sound, I'm not sure. I believe there's a setting in the registry that controls the key tones... Search around for how to enable vibration when the keys are pressed, this may get you on the right path. I'll see if I can track it down...

[Windows Mobile Themes] famewolf:
Thank you Ryan! Question..is there something special you have to do to use a pic for a background because when I try to use the black raindrops one as the background of my main page it shows up as light gray...like it has an overlay...it's not dark black like the picture but other themes show up fine as dark black. I ask because you had matching themes for several of yours. ( I would like to know what I did wrong AND I'm kinda hoping you'll include a matching theme. :P )
[Windows Mobile Themes] famewolf:
Also thinking out of the box..for those who have their sounds turned off is there a way to indicate button push? I know on the eten dialer the edge of the button flashes red...on another the button would go from black to a light gray when pressed. I also noticed you didn't emboss the history and arrow...did they give you problems?

I'm gonna open these up in Gimp (linux graphics editor similar to photoshop) and see what I can do...I am not an artist. ;)

How about something like this..I know this is not lined up correctly but it gives the basic idea...I did not have a flatten option and the png was to big to upload to xda.
[Windows Mobile Themes] neonstorm:
Hmmm... I got so wrapped up in the inlaid emboss on the letters/numbers I forgot about the call log/BS buttons. I'll fix them too...

As for the 'pressed button' feedback' that's actually my next plan... you read my mind. I'm toying with a few ideas:

1 different color button

2 different color font

3 border or highlight

I'll try them all and see how it looks... Bear with me a little longer, I think this will be cool. ;)

As for this the Today image not displaying correctly, I have them same problem using an image as the background. You have to actually make a theme with the image. I use a pretty good freeware called ThemeGen CE. I'm definitely going to cook one up for the 'black drops' too...

Ryan
[Windows Mobile Themes] shantzg001:
@famewolf, neonstorm, I can answer the question of today pic not displaying correctly..Basically when you select a today image thru today settings page, WM automatically sets the transparency settings. Instead go to pictures and videos and select the image from there and choose set as today background fromthe soft key menu. Then you are also provided with a transparency option where u can set it to whatever u want..
[Windows Mobile Themes] famewolf:
Thanks..that worked great!

Sorry for the stupid question but can i use these background/button images in my HTC Touch (ELF) just copying them to the \Windows folder?
[Windows Mobile Themes] neonstorm:
I'm not too sure about the technical aspects of the dialer... You may want to check the thread where the dialpad was released. This is just a graphical update I did for it...

Is the default dialpad the same as the image I posted earlier on this thread? If so I guess it would... Just keep in mind that this overwrites the files. You may want to back up the original images first just in case...

By the way, I've gone back and removed all the old versions. See post #1 for the new downloads!!

Hey neonstorm, do you mind posting a psd (if you can) of the layered template for these skins? I'd like to do a few (and possibly help you out if there are more than you can handle.)
[Windows Mobile Themes] neonstorm:
Thanks for the tip! I'll try it out... Always wondered why that didn't work.

Ryan
[Windows Mobile Themes] neonstorm:
Here they are. I just ask one favor in return for all my hard work...

Let us see what you come up with!! ;) I included the .png's I've been using, and saved them as .psd's. I don't use Photoshop so hopefully they work...

It should be relatively easy - just drop an image in for the wallpaper, send it to the back of the pile, and flatten it. You can then keep the plain 'window' image (indialer) or copy it from your flattened image to give it a transparent effect as well.

Lemme know if you have questions!

Ryan
[Windows Mobile Themes] famewolf:
ANy way to convert these .zip's to cab files? We know we want them installed to \windows. I'm using Settings Savior to help restore my settings when installing a new rom..I already have it auto installing the dialer but currently have no way to auto install the theme on top of it.
