Dear htctoucher!!!

First of all, congratulations on a tremendous job well done. Your input into the subject could not be overestimated, not only does the theme appear to be quite adequate and comparable to tene's original ones quality-wise, it's certainly the first custom one to have done so.

Taking into account your considerable talent, I would like to ask you, If you see it appropriate, to see into a request of mine.

Having installed a number of LV-style themes for the TouchCube, CommManager, etc., presented by a number of noble designers much like yourself here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=1501744#post1501744 (post 180), I was discouraged to find out that that the PCM forum lacks any similar themes for the PCM Keyboard 0.13 and the PCM Contact 0.20b.

Could you see your way into designing something of the likes taking into consideration your previous experience??? It would probably be an enormous success with the users...I, for one, would be eternally grateful, mate.
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
DarkKnight.. yeah you're probably right.. I might just set up the donation button in case, since it is not mandatory anyway and can't hurt to try!

As of now I am currently working on a Pointui theme for PCMContacts actually, so wouldnt have the time to really thoroughly make a completely new theme with LV graphics. What I could do is whip one up that just is this theme featured on this thread with LV logos overlayed across the background and detail page?

if not, I believe DvTonder made an LV theme, I have not looked at it, but you could check it out and see if that is what you are looking for.

tell me what you think,

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Themes] Matvey V.:
htctoucher,

DVtonder's theme is just the ticket, your reply MUCH appreciated.

What do you think about a similar PCM keyboard theme? Would it be a real challenge to create one, say, going from your recent iPhonish styled grey version (JUST to change the button background, for example, or, sort of, make it all brownish)? Or, maybe, yet again there IS one ALLREADY?

Thanks in advance.

PS: the donations button IS a good idea, IMHO. In any case, it won't hurt you if there's one attached.
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
I can see what i can come up with

it may be a while (within a week for sure) because I am spending most of my extra time on a new theme for PointUI.

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Themes] Matvey V.:
Understood, man.

Will be patiently waiting.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mario23:
Hey quick question for ya. I've tried both I InGa and I InGNa and seem to be having a problem. On the sms window, I have no arrows at all. Also, the images all seem a bit blurry. Did I forget something. I think I picked the right files and left them unaltered so I wasn't sure if there was something else I had to do to get it to work right.

I looked but didn't see quite this issue so thought I would ask.

Thanks...
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
Two Questions:

..... are you using a QVGA Device? (This theme does not support VGA)

..... are you using v2.0B of PocketCM Contacts? (If not upgrade to it)

I InGNA does not have arrows, and I have tested I InGA on my device and it does work (the arrows show up)

As for blurry images I do not know what to tell you as I am not experiencing this, the only thing I could think of is that you are running this theme on a VGA device.

Really sorry I cannot help any further, hopefully it is one of the simple answers above.

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Themes] mario23:
No problem I'll check and make sure I have the right stuff downloaded.

I'm running it on a Tilt.

Thanks...
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
Hope it hasn't been too long.. I just finished the Pointui theme and as requested I have created the LV-style skin for you!

Get it here:

[Windows Mobile Themes] Zurichhb:
Yes, themes are great! Thx.
[Windows Mobile Themes] gabriel713281:
Theres another glitch in this skin, maybe its just my phone, i tend to use landscape mode more because of the keyboard on my wing and no offense, but it seems as if landscape mode was a little breezed through in the making of this skin but here is the glitch i found attached... As I used the side scroll the background of the main letter seems to be offset to the left in Landscape mode. Does this happen to anyone else?

Other than that minor glitch GREAT theme thanks i gave it to all my friends!
[Windows Mobile Themes] IRCRomeo:
I have two questions:

1) How do I change the clock to standard and not military time?

2) How can I get the info bar for the contacts to display on the left side of the phone, like the default Touch skin?
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
No, I totally agree with you. I barely ever use landscape, so did not spend as much time on that part of the theme as I probably should have. Oh well, guess I will just have to release a new version that will look better in landscape!

Will be improving

the feedback (the thing messed up as you said)

the landscape background will be the same as portrait

bigger contact list items

Any other things you think I should change in landscape?

Any ideas shoot them at me!

thanks,

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
This is a question for tene, the guy who made this contact application

You can't, unless you change a large portion of how this theme is set up (you would have to move the index to the left in the bg.png image.. you would also have to make the marginright(24) in settings marginleft(24).. you would have to move the highlighted thingy to the left in feedback.png image.. some other things that would come up that I do not know off the top of my head)

I would say I would be willing to whip one up for you, but this theme has so many variants that it would be too much work to change that for all of them, and I really do not have as much time as I did when I made this theme, so I will only be doing small updates (like the landscape one coming up) for all of the variants.

if it still is really that important for the index to be on the left, tell me which variant you are using and I can make one for you within the next week.

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Themes] Leland:
btw

I really like your work on this skin for pocketcm. Keep it up.
[Windows Mobile Themes] gabriel713281:
Thanks for taking my comments into consideration. another glitch was when you hold down a contact in landscape mode, the call screen pops up with their number at the top, but for some reason the number is too low covering up 1,2 and 3 on the touch dial pad as shown in the attachment. in landscape mode and in portrait mode they both need back icons. :D Sorrry to be picky!
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
Agreed, noticed the landscape problem once I looked at the theme again after I posted.

The thing about the back button is that for some reason it just doesn't show up in the call panel.. So I will just have to do a workaround like in my Pointui theme.

v1.2 released, includes fixes for landscape that makes it more graphically appealing and more functional

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Themes] CoolCow:
nice work, i love the skin!

I'm just wondering if it's possible to make the touch area of the index wider. Like thumb width. I've changed some width's in settings.ini (were set to 26p) but nothing seems to happen.

Is it possible to change the index width?
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
I have also tried this, I am not entirely sure if it works, you should ask over on Pocketcm.com

Did you edit all these lines?

searchindex.*.indexmargin=??p

searchindex.*.rightborder=??p

searchindex.*.leftborder=??p

searchindex.*.indexwidth=??p

and if none of that works, try editing this one:

searchindex.*.box=??p,??p,??p,??p

just edit the first and second values

see if any of those work

[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Knight:
Hi HtcToucher,

I was just wondering if these new Blue vairants had been implmented from when we last discussed them. I haven't followed this thread for a few weeks and can't tell if you have a new set of updates.

Any news ?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
the blue variant will be up within the next two weeks, sorry about the delay (I'm usually pretty quick with these updates)

I just really do not have the time. For sure I will have it by the week from this upcoming Tuesday (very latest).

It is very blue as you will see... another user (forgot his name its on the first post) PMd me my graphics for this theme color balanced blue (that includes all graphics, including backgrounds etc.). It's too much blue for me (as you probably have noticed I don't use much color in my themes), but I am sure those who were requesting blue (such as yourself) will like it.

I do remember that you said you would like a touch of blue, so i am not sure if this will be too much. However, you can always mix and match the graphics from the original with the blue-tinted of my upcoming updates together until you find the balance you like!

hope that's not too long to wait! (I will actually be releasing another theme along with these blue updates.. it has the htctouchish colors as well but a different style/design and completely different graphics from this one)

thanks,

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Themes] LycanNyc:
Thanks for this and the keyboard PCM hack for CM.

I was wondering why PocketCM takes so long to show up ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mrfantastic:
just wanted to say good work

these are some sweet skins
[Windows Mobile Themes] flaviopac:
Any screenshot of the skins??

:rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
yup.. check the first post!

It is in a zip file as it would not upload as a jpg (too large)
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
It does take a while, because it has to load up all of the images in the theme. Perhaps on later versions of PocketCM the load time will be faster in themes with images (rather than the default which has next to none)

We can only hope that tene will somehow magically implement this into future versions!

P.S. Blue themes will be available soon
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
And by soon I meant very soon.. check first page, they are all uploaded

no screenshots but it is just blue instead of HTC Touch Black

Enjoy!

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Themes] LycanNyc:
Thanks for the reply to my question guys..

How much memory does it uses? and Battery hit ?

I've been using VITO SMS-Chat and Fun Contacts but they have 1xxxk memory usage .. but its really fast and integrates perfectly.. easy to use and fun
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
I replied on the previous page to your question about the loading times...

I'm not sure how much PocketCM uses.. i would guess high 1000ks.. Sometimes it will not show how much it is using, other times it will, which is why I am not sure.

I have it on all day on my HTC Touch, since I dont want to wait for it to load up each time. I have not noticed much of a battery drain from having it open all day as opposed to not having it open... love this app, best for contacts and SMS I have ever used especially because of the ease of use and ability to skin it to whatever you want.

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Themes] gabriel713281:
Hey Best theme ever for Pocket CM but if you decide to make an Upgrade to this one please, in landscape mode can you make like the right button at the top of the keyboard on a wing or such phones into a send button because when I text its kinda hard because i have to push send on the screen for like 3 seconds before the message sends THANKS!
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
I think this is a question more for tene (the guy who made this application)

I cant change what any of the buttons do, only where they are and what they look like

Glad you like my theme!

.21 was released (not sure when) just wondering how well this would work with it and if it dosnt if your planning on updating for it?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
this should work fine with the new version of pocketcm... you will have to disable the message counter in contact view but that is all. Everything else works fine. I may update but as it is not urgent it mighy be a while (I do not have as much time as I used to for pocketcm)

thanks,

V1.3 RELEASED!

FINALLY UPDATED TO SUPPORT v25+!

changes include:

.....new smsbox in sms panel

.....compatible with v25+ PocketCM

.....added option to fit sms to text (download the "settingsini for shrink fit.zip" and place the settings file in your PocketCM folder (not in a .zip file - by itself))

.....changed Alphabetical Separator slightly

.....SMS Image added in SMS view
[Windows Mobile Themes] Alistair George:
Super only wish was that for bad eyes like some of us have, the keypad (click the phone and numerics) letters are too small. Would be best if same numbers, but moved to top of each pad, then letters below would be able to increase to almost numbers size making letters much easier to see and use.

It would be quite neat if we were able to use PocketCM (since its the default contacts manager) to beam a contact too. I cant join their forum for some reason or another to make this suggestion.

*BTW when I use WM contacts option it locks up.

Cheers,

Alistair

*WM contacts fix (by experimentation) appears to be change skin to default, select WM contacts again, then change back to HTC touch skin and it then works OK here.
[Windows Mobile Themes] baeza:
Alphabetical separator is screen wide, so it overlaps the right alphabetical selector. BTW, the letters in the selector does not match with the actual letters selected, while sliding over, and the size of the selector list (high) does not match with the slide working area.

It works OK with original black theme, but the selector is in the left side of the window, no very useful for right-handed people.

I am getting this case also. Just as everyone has said... GREAT theme... i will see what i can do to get a screenshot for you!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Alistair George:
Increase Phone Pad LETTER font size (see my previous)

I changed settings.ini (GA v1.3.zip)

Please note that using windows text editor can corrupt your settings file suggest using Windows dos based editor eg from cmd prompt

> edit settings.ini

changes:

phonepadkey.*.letter.font=12p,regular,Segoe UI,#B6B4B6♪

phonepadkey.*.letter.font.pressed=12p,regular,Segoe UI,#696A69

This is better but I dont know the syntax to move the phone pad digit higher on the button to allow for bold which would be perfect. Can anyone can suggest this?

Its possibly in here:

phonepad.*.box=0,-174p,100%,$bottom$

phonepad.*.digit.box=0,0,100%,100%♪

Alistair.

This is the bubbles not looking correct. I am running PCM V.25c on a T-mobile wing WM6 prof. Your them version... I InGNA v1.3. What do i need to do to fix it? Please..
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
In my experience this happens only when you UNZIP the files into the PocketCM folder.

DO NOT UNZIP FILES!!!!!!

just drop the .zip package into the PocketCM folder

hope that helps

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
Ill try to take a look at this

in terms of the alphabetical separator being screen wide.. you have to set a marginright(20) I think.. I dont know why that isnt liek that.. it used to be
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
I find notepad it the easiest way to edit the settings file

phonepad.*.box moves the entire phonepad

phonepad.*.digit.box is what should move the digits

I THNK.. this should work

phonepad.*.letter.box moves letters

tell me how that works for you
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
sorry!

just want to take the time to tell all those inconvenienced with all these slight bugs with new version that I am sorry!

It is pretty hard to update 16 variants of a theme without doing them all at once, but then you run into problems because you update one variants the same as another which should never have been the same.

yeah it is confusing

I will try to fix all of these later, but a break is in order right now for a while

if you find all the fixes you want.. I will either implement them.. or edit the first post so that users will know what lines to add into their settings file.

sorry for any inconveniences!

I double checked and i did not unzip the files. I just dropped the zip file in the PocketCM folder and, as it should, it popped up in the themes drop down window of PocketCM.

I have tried the other variants and i am getting the same thing sticking out the one side of the bubble.
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
thats very strange

have you made sure you have no stray images or settings.ini files in your PocketCM folder?

if you dont.. then try to put the compress bubble settings lines into the settings.ini file that you can find inside the zip
[Windows Mobile Themes] smhump:

Ok... this is what i found out. Clear the cache folder that PocketCM creates. Make sure there is no settings.ini file in your PocketCM folder and it should work.

Hello,

thank you for your Skins. I use the GA. Would it be possible, for each contact something to sizes (high). The operation would be then simpler for humans with thick fingers somewhat! :)

Sorry for my bad english!
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
you can open (with notepad) the settings file which you can find in the zip file.

find the lines:

contactlist.*.item.height=38p

landscape.contactlist.*.item.height=38p

and simply change them to whatever height you want

then CTRL+S to save

hope that helps!

Seperator Label

Not quite sure where to put this... I thought I knew but I was wrong. This is where I put it (in bold):

# Contact Edit Panel

# ==================

list.editcontact.propertylist.box=0,$top$,100%,-40p

portrait.list.editcontact.propertylist.background=fillimage(bgsms.png)

landscape.list.editcontact.propertylist.background=fillimage(bgsmsl.png)

separatorlabel.*.font=12p,bold,Segoe UI,$high9$

separatorlabel.*.item.height=20p

separatorlabel.*.text.box=2p,2p,100%,100%

Can anybody help? I would also like to move the contact picture from the lower right hand corner to the upper corner of the SMS Panel that you text ing. Same thing as it was in V.24.

separatorlabel.*.item.height=20p

that is for the edit panel

you have to put it in the contact list separator:

## contactlist letter separators

contactlist.*.separator.item.background=hgradient(#414142,#686565),marginright(20)

20 might be too much or too little, not sure so you might have to fool around with it.. if I remember correctly it was either 20 or 12

to change the position of SMS picture, find these lines:

## SMS Contact Picture

image.contactsms.box=-45p,-98p,-2p,-48p

all of the lines you will need to change that correspond to version v24+ will be very near the top (scrollbar, sms picture, fav icon, etc)
