[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Jemmauk:
I absolutely love this - so much better than that vile & flakey Touchflo 3D.

I do have a couple of questions - I tried to replace the WMmediaplayer with Audiomanager - I got a complete refusal of the phone to open the exe from the home screen - any one have any ideas .. tbh I am not that keen on WMmedia.

Another weirdness is that I use GekoNewCal to input appts. If I try and run it from anywhere but the homescreen it works fine. If I try and run it from the homescreen it comes up with a .NET framework error.... I cant see why it would do that unless I need to call the ini file not the exe?

iContact is brilliant compared to the Touchflo contacts app... so much easier to use.

This is the skin.xml file I use currently - for this you will need total commander installed. I have the 3rd icon in the bottom row calling the comm manager.

I have found several great sites that do the *.png icon files that are used in this - it should be possible to reset the apps section to use the 48x48 pngs (with the relative rearrangement of the skin file) which are still big enough to use with a touchscreen - that could give you at least another row of 4 apps and might with judicious use give you another 4 up one side - aka a 5x4 arrangement.

congrats on a brilliant skin :)
