Mini and Option buttons

These are the lines i am changing...

iconbutton.minimizebutton.box=75%p,-39p,100%,100%

landscape.iconbutton.minimizebutton.box=-80p,-39p,100%,100%

iconbutton.optionbutton.box=25%p,-39p,50%,100%

landscape.iconbutton.optionbutton.box=80p,-39p,160p,100%

I am not sure i did these lines right, right now. but again, i was able to switch them and have them functional, minus the headers being messed up.

G-Alarm and Task Facade

Hi htctoucher

I can't get the G-Alarm theme to work with G-Alarm 1.4.5. It's new out. I'm just copying the files in their folder to the themes folder in the G-Alarm installation folder. I can select the theme in G-Alarm but I just get a really dark version of the default theme.

Secondly, I would really appreciate a glossy theme for Task Facade.

Cheers

andrew-in-woking
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
thats weird, because i am also using 1.4.5, and my theme is still working!

do you get the glossy backgruond? not sure without pictures.. all i really changed was the background and the alarm page.. more significant theme will proabbly come later

already looking into taskfacadee.. thatll be a while

sorry for delay guys, just had lots of work

youll see updates in due time :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] kbsmith:
how do I install the M2D theme? can somoene direct me to some instructions, I've read tons of posts, but can't find them with the amount of time I have to locate them. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Gersonian:
Unzip them to your phone them copy/cut and paste them into your windows folder.
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
yeah all the files inside the zip\windows folder

or use m2dc
[Windows Mobile Themes] adderz91:
Hey htc..hows the progress on the M2D going? I check twice a day for any updates :-P

No rush though lol
[Windows Mobile Themes] sphinxy:
*lost*

M2D is right there in Post #2.

btw, the skin is very nice and i enjoy it alot - thanks!

If only we could have more than one appointment on the home page.....
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
if you install the iolite version .. you can have two appointments on the home page :D

thats what i did

and on that note.. i am optimizing m2d skin little by little each day when i find time for iolite version (excluding footprint page cuz i cant get it to work.. and the footprint icons kinda cool ;))

so expect that out by this weekend.. just have little things to finish up.. and see if i can change the settings graphics in this one

i dont have THAT much time anymore once again cuz school is starting up again.. so ill try to get the comm manager out.. but it will be a while most likely

sorry!

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Themes] fwaits:
htctoucher, can you post a copy of your HTCHomeSettings.xml file from the Iolite install/gloss theme? I can't seem to get M2DC to apply the theme so I've had to just extract to \Windows. So I don't have the footprints tab now or the extra appointment on the home screen. Thanks in advance!
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
the xml should be in the iolite v2 zip

is it not in there?

and that is weird.. m2dc works for me

but i also did the same because i dont want to keep using m2dc after every little change, so i copied everything in the zip to windows, which worked, showing me the footprint and 2calendar etc

have you installed the new iolite m2d test 3 cab?
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
thanks!

i really appreciate it

commManager uploaded :D

thanks for directing me to which files i needed to extract from my windows folder.. i gave you cred ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] souljah777:
ThumbCal?

Hi there. Your work is amazing. Do you plan to make a skin for ThumbCal? That would really top things off.
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
well.. thumbcal costs money, and I am not really willing to pay for that app.. but if you supply me with the files necessary, i will take a look

also, becoming a member of my Golden List always expedites my work! and gives a better chance for it to be done

i have limited time to work on this between work/school/social, so i have to pick my projects!
[Windows Mobile Themes] fwaits:
Ah you posted an update today, I didn't have that yet so it was still the old xml file. Will try this right away, thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] souljah777:
Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply. What files would you need? I've attached one of the skins that comes with ThumbCal if that helps. Golden list, here I come! You deserve a donation just fo the work you've done so far!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sean D.:
Got an screen shots of the Comm Manager? :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] jale:
It is glossy, but its not right...

This is a pharos.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vannjjaa:
Same by me on Cruise.

htctoucher,

is it possible to skin htc vollume control, iolite phone canvas and icontact?

And for thumbcal, the previos uploaded skin hasn grafic files, here is the other:
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
yeah thats what i was afraid of.. there are many different commanagers cuz each htc phone has different features

i skinned the files i found on my device (htc touch)

if you supply me with the right files ill look into that (consider joining my golden list (see sig) for guaranteed delivery :D)
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
thats a lot of requests!:D

ive gotten a few requests for icontact so will look into that

i dont know what htc volume control is.. isnt that for vga devices like the diamond? why not use s2u2's built in s2u2vc?

i dont know about the iolite phone canvas that would pribably be a lot of work (consider becoming a member of my golden list (see sig))

thanks for uploading the thumbcal skin files!

sounds great! thanks alot i really appreciate it

congrats on anticipation of your new membership :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] tim19910510:
hello, can you please help me?

I'm pretty noob in these thinks, I would like to have these apps on my lg KS20 ( windows mobile 6). Is this possible?

Please help $$$

Thx
[Windows Mobile Themes] MarcoPolo78:
I beleive its only for HTC devices

Iolite

So is this new version of m2d worth the install ? Just wondering what makes it better than the ORG . :confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
do you know the resolution of your device? if it is qvga then these should work with any phone running windows mobile

I prefer it

on my device footprint doesn't work but there are other features that make it worthwhile for me:

..faster, stabler, also loads up significantly faster

..two appointments on home tab

..date shows written out month instead of number

..on music tab, music loads much faster and you can now scroll through the track!

..if you don't use m2d iolite I still suggest you use v2 of my skin
[Windows Mobile Themes] adderz91:
Hey htc toucher, you do great work, when i have some spare cash ill be donating, i love this theme, and your uniting all the programs with it which is excellent.

Now with the Comm Manager i think youll find everyone will have a different version so it will be difficult. I am having the same problem as the people above.

If youd like, i can package your altered files into a .cab

This means it will work on alot more devices because it will overwrite the Comm Manager...and also means its easily uninstallable if people choose.

Thats the idea anyway..im gonna test the files youve skinned so far to see if it works.

Here are the remaining files you need to skin...
[Windows Mobile Themes] uiskibum:
Here are 2 other sets of icons to look at/try out. they were taken from a kaiser rom, and a hermes rom respectively. both include the status off/on icons as well. the ones from the hermes rom (hermes folder) seem to match some of the icons that were use in the gloss skin.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dewhut:
this would look nice on my fuze...care to make a m3d vga theme like this? :-P
[Windows Mobile Themes] omair2005:
great work! love the skins. I do notice a problem on my touch.

when i get a missed call and a voicemail the calender tab on the home screen gets messed up. but after i delete the voicemail it returns to normal? i'll try to post a picture soon but has this happened to anyone else?

i'm using the m2d v2 with nfsan latest rom.
[Windows Mobile Themes] adderz91:
testing something.
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
but the only thing is, how do you know which cab is the right one for all devices.. i mean some come with wifi, others dont etc.. so how could you package it into one cab

haha.. care to donate a vga device with tf3d :D

because then i definitely would!

yeah.. thats an oopsie on my part.. i didnt like the voicemail showing up, and didnt care too much for it since whenever i get a voicemail i immediatly go in and listen to it

if its really important to you i will try to fix it (maybe post a screenie if it is)

otherwise, just listen to the voicemail and the problem vanishes :D

thanks guys for all your support!

glad you all like the theme!

working...

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Themes] adderz91:
Tis a little bit of a problem.

I think the easiest solution would be to put out 2. Being in cabs also means you can easily uninstall it as previously mentioned.

I have packaged your Comm Manager PNG's with the Touch Dual Manager and the result is this. It will install on any device, it works fine on my Polaris at least.

Your Comm Manager is the older style. Ill put together a zip file with the PNGS you need to skin for the other version. It will be the one most people use i think...its about 11 files because youve skinned the rest already.
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
very cool!

thankyou very much for taking the initiative to figure all this about commmanagers out

what are the 11 more files?
[Windows Mobile Themes] adderz91:
Ok here are the remaining files to be skinned.
[Windows Mobile Themes] adderz91:
Breakthrough! lol

You can change the options in the Comm Manager with Advanced Config.

Which means you can use the old Touch Dual Manager...but if you dont have Wifi for instance, you can delete or replace it with something else.

But i still think most people would prefer the newer style so if you still wanna skin those files that would be great :-)

So basically now people have 2 options for the Comm Manager, the newer style or the older style.
[Windows Mobile Themes] quicksite:
color variation request?

Beautiful work!

I'm curious if you might consider making a variant of that. I really like the blue-black (deep aqua-blue/ black) look, as seen in kidnamedalbert's skin here... the color gradient that is to the left and right sides of the white digital numbers...)

(P.S. I have yet to find a WINDOWS theme shell that has that color -- I only can find black gloss, grey gloss, blue gloss, green gloss, or flat versions -- but not this particular blue-black that I really like a lot. for instance the theme above has flat black shell, or whatever it's properly called)

regardless, great work, and thanks for going the distance with INSTRUCTIONS !
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
thanks man!

really appreciate the feedback, and glad you like my work!

just not entirely sure what you are requesting :o

could you elaborate a little further?

i am going to send you a pm it is easier to work like that!
[Windows Mobile Themes] quicksite:
Well ... that's the problem; it isn't a minor request :D I'm looking for a complete consistent UI package, as you have done here with such elegance ...

... but I would love to have this entire look & feel -- except not in grey-scale, but using similar values with a different hue: in the dark-aqua/black tones as seen below:

.... But I already know my request is way too expansive.

So, in lieu of publishing your whole "Pro Black" theme also in "Deep Sea Pro" (a new name i just made up) color-tones, can you or anyone point me to any implementation of this deep-sea color for the windows bar across the top, and the soft-key strip at the bottom?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Quick Silver:
how do I enable the second calendar line?

and how about the OEM analog clock? I tried using M2DC but it doesnt seem to work

Thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] jrdejavux:
awsome skins
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
i actually deleted the analog clock :o

sorry bout that.. but i just feel like it gets in the way.. and you cant really tell the time from it :D

if you want it back youll have to edit the xml file and delete the "12" i put in front of all of its values.. making the numbers in the thousands when they shuold be hundreds etc

thanks man!

glad you like my work!

htctoucher

ps.. s2u2 and s2p are updated.. i just have to zip them up, take some screenshots and upload!

s2p looks pretty sick if you ask me!
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
:p

i can recommend to you poorlyduck's ultimate suit.. it matches the graphics of m2d "deep sea" blue look :D

as for top and bottom tsk bars that are adeep blue.. not sure that exists.. closest i have gotten to that which actually might work i posted with my wm7 theme (see my signature)

hope that helps!

let me know if you need more help finding the tsk on that thread

thanks

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Themes] Quick Silver:
OMG please dont take it as bad criticism, I think this is the most comprehensive theme I ever seen, beautiful work.

:)

I would like to know how to enable the second line of the calender on the home screen though, I apologize in advanced, I'm sure I'm doing somethig wrong but inly one line of the calendar displays :confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] uiskibum:
the second cal. line is automatic; it shows when you have an all day appointment and other appointments, or when you have 2 appointments that overlap or are close to each other. when you get a voicemail the first cal. line shows that indicator and the 2nd cal. line shows the most current/upcoming appointment

try adding an all day test appointment, and watch it work

hope that makes sense
[Windows Mobile Themes] Quick Silver:
That's weird I tried that but it still doesnt seem to work, I think it might have to do something with my M2D being build into the ROM (every time I try to copy over a theme file i get a system error that wont let me override the file due to it being "located in the ROM" and the only way to get it to work is through M2DC.

thanks for the answers guys :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] shadowline:
Your skins are the top most professional looking, and well made that I have seen in a while. And I am rather picky with things like that. Great work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
thanks man means a lot

i loved your sticker m2d theme.. the three themes you made looked really pro

the sticker theme actually helped as a base for my skin ;) (the size of the big and small icons -- i didnt know you could change their sizes)

alright guys.. couple of updates :D:

...htc audiomanager compiled into cab, (see new screens.. i figured out how to edit the xmls :D) - if you prefer the old skin.. it is also in the attachment as a folder along with the cab

...dialer compiled into cab.. looks the same - also including the folder, so you can have the files if you want them without editing the cab

...new s2p skin

...updated s2u2 skin

...commmanager is coming quite soon (for all device hopefully)

...icons in tab for m2d done (but not uploaded) as per request of fwaits (golden list member :D)!

let me know how the cabs work!

install audiomanager and the dialer to your device
[Windows Mobile Themes] mithritades:
@htctoucher:will the s2p skin look just as good on my diamond..VGA?

someone needs to donate a VGA device,if u don't have one soon,when i upgrade i'll donate my diamond,i just have to see what Sprint(ugh)has up it's sleeve that's suitable to my taste:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] agent_more:
default commanager

@htctoucher

hi you're doing a nice job! i've been using your m2d themes for a long time and it works & looks great!:):)

but i want to ask if you have the original default commanger skin for htc touch elfin? coz i want to bring back the old look of my commanager, it's kinda messed up when i tried your new commanager skin...:(:confused:

thanks and keep up the good work!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Neutron90:
What about a VGA version?

What? I'm disturbing?? =DDD

My diamond doesn't support those versions :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
that would be amazing ..i use sprint too.. and would love the diamond :D

if i had a vga device you would see vga skins popping up for every app just like they are for qvga right now!

not having a vga device to work with/test on makes it unbelievably difficult and tedious!

keep me updated! ;)

i would really appreciate it.. and compensate accordingly with many skins!

i would post originals.. but i just realized i didnt save mine either.. :D

i will be posting cabs for commmanager today.. hopefully that fixes your issue

what problem are you having?

you might see a little vga coming.. but as youll read in this post above, its really hard without a vga device right in front of me

if mithritades donates vga (which would be the ultimate gift of appreciation!) you will see vga everywhere!

including tf3d

thanks for the support guys!

glad you like the theme

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Themes] fwaits:
Does the dialer you skinned have smart dialing? And what is the link to the original dialer, I'm not sure the one I found is the same one or not. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Neutron90:
Thank you guy, I know that u worked hard in order to do what u did so I'm not gonna push u to do more =D

I'll save this page as I can follow the thread, I hope u will get a VGA :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
enable smartdial and redial for the dialer!

i dont think it does..

but i just found a fix which I will upload!

install to device

install in the order of "smartdial enabler.cab" and then "redial enabler.cab"

thanks goes to poorlyduck for finding these fixes!

see screenshot attached for what it looks like after installed

enjoy!

issues

@htctoucher

these are the issues i encountered

1.the on and off indicator in comm manager is pixelated it doesn't look good that's why im looking for the default original commanager.

2.in music tab in M2d the "repeat & shuffle" indicator is out of place plus the "track seek" is gone.
[Windows Mobile Themes] htctoucher:
yeah there are updates in the wrks for commmanager with cabs

thats really strange about the m2d music tab.. i didnt move either of those things ..

sorry i cant be of more help with that issue

updates should fix your commmanager issue!

... there are two cabs you can choose from now ;).. try either one, they both work on all devices (i am using the newer style opal right now on my htc touch)

... you can try both and see which you like!

... i encourage you all to install schaps advanced config (just google it.. its posted in xda threads somewhere).. it allows you to customize, along with hundreds of other things, your comm manager (like switching out wifi for ringer or 3g or activesync etc etc)
[Windows Mobile Themes] tatnai:
HTCToucher, love your skins! I'm a poor man with a family, but I appreciate all the hard work you've done and have just donated a small amount . . . it's not much, but it's what I can afford right now.

Anyways, a couple of things.

1. My one request is for a skin for iContact BE (burt's edition). Current version is 6.4.5, found here. I think it should be a pretty easy skin, so I'm hoping the amount I've donated covers it. Skins are found here, I currently use the default skin because I like simple, clean looking icons. Even if you don't manage to do this, I've gotten my money's worth with all your previous work.

2. I edited your M2D iolite version skin, put in the default tab icons, and added Leopard style big icons by Dredd67 found here. I was wondering if you would mind me posting it in the M2D skins thread with full credit to yourself and Dredd - I didn't create anything myself, it's just a rearrangement, so it's up to you.

Let me know!

See here.

Edit: I got some actual hands-on time with Palm Pre at CES (which is more than can be said for most folk) and while the sauce is fancy, it remains to be seen how productive all that eye-candy is after you've had the phone for two, three months. I was a die-hard Palm fan all the way up to 2001, and I can tell you with complete honesty that they've moved away from functionality toward gloss. Makes sense since apparently Ed Colligan got the guy who designed the iPhone interface to help with Pre.

All I know is that if I had an iPhone or a Pre I would not be having as much fun as I am with my G1. Most of my friends have gayPhones and Blueberries and I have gotten at least 2 of them on the G1 bandwagon and they are stoked, not only by the phone itself, but by this community and the raw potential of this phone.

[General Topics] speoples20:
I love my G1 and would not trade it for an iphone or a pre. I've never had a device that I could incorperate so much of my day to day life into. Plus with the direction this community is going and growing is amazing. Every is nice and helps out the newbies (me included) who have never used linux before. I dont see that with the iphone, just pretentious snobs thinking they are better than everyone else.
[General Topics] ddotderek:
Ive had a iphone for about 3 weeks now, my first pda was a 8125, then a 8525, and then a tilt...I had the fuze for about 2weeks then I returned it because I couldnt stand the small screen...Let me tell you, the iphone is no pda, but a jailbroken iphone with the right applications is a nice nifty device. I can text/email in landscape mode with cool features such as quick reply and such. I can send/receive MMS's that look 10x better then any phone ive ever owned. I can run apps in the background very smoothly, basically too much stuff to list, I enjoy the phone and the multimedia options available to me. Sure, I miss the pda life, but the pda is no iphone, and the iphone is no pda. They have have their pros and cons..the p2p file sharing programs on the iphone are second to none, its like having bearshare/limewire on steroids with one touch of a button.
[General Topics] mannyb:
As jashsu said, the Gizmodo staff is like 90% Apple fanboy, so this comes as no surprise. They (Jesus Diaz in particular) have been ripping on Android/the G1 ever since the first prototypes and screenshots etc leaked out. Matt Buchanan is probably the only level headed Giz staffer in regards to reporting about Android/the G1.

That said, I still like Giz, I enjoy reading most of their articles.
