[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Very nice, I prefer no.3 but the slider button looks better like the tabs in web browsers

example:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sdsoundguy:
WOW Great looking

I really like 7 I think. Now my big question is why aren't the big guys like Microsoft or some of the other company's that do 3rd party interfaces hireing you. From what I have seen from your interface design it is way better than anything else out there. You have a great eye for not only graphical design (not easy kind of an artistic talent people are born with can't really be taught) but also functionality.

Can't wait to try this on my phone keep up the great work
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jadephyre:
I prefer #1 of your seven new screenshots :D

Also the Slider in that Pic ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
i wonder the same thing sometimes..

haha

but seriously, thanks a lot, that is really great feedback. i am a college student, so i havent really put myself out into the market yet, i am using this as another way to hone my skills (i just declared as a visual communication major this semester - graphic design) so everything you see is selftaught!

that being said though.. i definitely wouldn't mind a part-time job doing graphics even for a thirdparty

really glad you like my work!

thanks for the heartfelt response i really appreciate it :D

eah i like that one too.. nice and simple

and i like 2,5 and some of 6 and 7 :D

hmm....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
i love the sixth, but i think you should release the first one too: such a simple and cool look suits a larger variety of themes, in my opinion.

great work! the icons are wonderful!

anyway sdsoundguy is right, your work really stands out.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
yeah i agree.. you know.. i might just release all of them.. give the user more option

thanks a lot for the props, really does mean a lot

i added pocketcm preview to second post

let me know if you think there shold be more color or whatever you guys think

or if you have ideas for the top and bottom bars.. i dont really know what to do with them yet

thanks guys!

gotta love this community :D

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MarcoPolo78:
Hottness

You've out done yourself again my friend ! I'm really feeling # 6 ... Also i believe this would look fresh on a Spb mobile shell skin :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jonnrb:
Sweeeet!

Suggestion: build a new kernel, shell, and API set and slap your interface on it and we'd be on fire!!!! lol :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dylan255:
My 2 cents I vote for #6. But for a simple touch 1 looks timeless and classic.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] galaxys:
looking great...prefer #5.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
This theme is going to be pretty major there htctoucher! It's looking fantastic already. My personal choice is option number 3. I like the extra "rays of light" in the image, it sets the theme well. The notification is excellent and love the slider idea. Keep up the great work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Xfinity:
I like number 1, as mentioned before in this post it's classic and its easy to make out your fantastic icons. For more flavour I like number 4 ;).

I have to agree with haizn24d, the slider button looks better as a tab or as the one you made first.

Anyway, its looking to be a amazing theme any way you go! :D

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DMAND:
Wow, this would make me want to install s2u2 again, I think 4 is my fav :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
thanks! i like the idea of it too :D

maybe once i am done i will get someone like rumball or anyone else with experience and willing to use my graphics or something (i dont use spb mobile shell)

haha, if only i was capable!

yeah i agree on that too

seems almost all of them are hits, so i might just release them all :D

what about the bubbles (post 2)

thanks man!

i do agree about the rays, might bring em in

what about the bubble options for pcmc?

alright, i may then release two types of sliders (one like the first style and one the second)

:D makes me feel good!

to all

i will be on spring break starting today, so, you wont probably be seeing many updates/additions (i may do some but probably not a lot)

sorry to keep you waiting (maybe i shouldnt have uploaded previews until after spring break haha..)

for pocketcm previews, i havent gotten feedback, so please direct comments toward that design as i think my s2u2 is pretty solid in its design and concept now!

thanks a lot guys!

see you in a weeks time :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
As for PCMC, I would go with thick border and the blue background. It's going to look real nice.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] schnappus boesus:
i love both s2u2 skin, htctoucher!!!

they are realy kick-ass :O

as always, you did indescribable good work!

(you dont have to pay me for this comment... :D)

by the way:

please make a skin for s2p again *cool*
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jadephyre:
any news on these skins :) ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ZED_pt:
I like #3 a lot but if you are using the same background to m2d as an example i would prefer #1...it wouldnt be so messy...

Also liked very much the bubbles in pcm...

keep up the good work...a "must" download i bet :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ZED_pt:
in pocket cm i like a lot the bubble without border the last one...

and i changed my mind #1 in s2u2 is my favorite without doubts
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sriramkrishnan06:
Hi,

I believe I'd be using my own wallpaper background for S2U2 but your lock is like a wm 6.5 lock and i luv it...its the lock that matters and the font for displaying appointments...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ZED_pt:
The main idea is to have the same background and colours in all applications...kinda like a suite.

At least is what i hope it to be...same as gloss :) that i currently use.

I even changed app´s just to use toucher´s skins (changed from iContact BE6.5 to pcm contacts and SPB time for G-Alarm the last one was a good switch :P )

Hope you keep m2d skin style similar to the one in gloss,the best skin i´ve seen so far...simple,tastefull and different from all the rest out there.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
hey i am sorry for the delay!!

ive been on break as i said, so will be returning to skinning in a few days.. i dont want to rush this one so ill be just releasing more screenshots/previews and ideas as i go along

i am also going to be skinning for a rom (i got a very generous donation so will be working on that first :D)

that may be this kind of style, not sure yet

anyway.. just wanted to let you all know i hadnt forgotten and am not abandoning it :D

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
im back!

to let you know.. i am getting back to skinning, while i do have a lot of work in the final stretch, i will try to give as much time as i can to this theme

i have changed some of my ideas, especially for pcmc (i am going fullscreen.. get the most out of your screen!) and added a dialer skin in the third post.

s2u2 skin is done basically.. at least the important stuff

i am just waiting for a_c to add some features.. hopefully he does (fixes the font, adds the option to have a top and bottom bar only in the dialer screen, not on lock screen.. etc)

because.. this skin pretty much requires no top and bottom bar on lock screen to look good, but then its hard to use the dialer..

maybe you guys can help get those features by asking in his thread as well

anyway, i am also working on a dialer for another member/a rom which will actually fit quite nicely with this.. ill upload a preview (uploaded post 3)

ill keep you posted.. but itll be a little while before i can actually start working again and get definite skins for upload

care to encourage me?

:D

till later

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sriramkrishnan06:
Hi,

pls let the 3 triangles be part of the slider...just to give a wm 6.5 sort of a feel...dont want my s2u2 to be identical to iphone ;)

those 3 triangles is what differentiates ur skin

cheers SK
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
now sorry to announce its on hold because i have a lot more work than i had anticipated after coming back from spring break.. i have had 2new projects each week since i arrived back

so, please understand that i cannot give enough time to skinning much of anything right now

i may release s2u2 skin, since i basically have that working i just have to do the buttons (call/receive buttons)

it wont have battery and maybe not an incoming unknown pic i just dont have time :(

ill let you know tho

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 4D3:
this looks too nice!

i really hope you get this working!!

i love your idea!!!

nice work
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] HelderJr:
This is amazing! Can´t wait to see a download link at least to S2U2. Please, post to us!

Thanks and very nice work ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
s2u2 uploaded!

wallpapers will come later if they are still wanted

please report back if you encounter any issues or if you just like the skin! :D

dialer/commmanager/6.5 skin should come at some point this week ;)

enjoy!

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Man, thanks so much for this. It looks GREAT!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 4D3:
Hi,

Thanks for the skin, it looks so nice but i have some issues!!

on the first screenshot there is issues with the symbols at the top bar, the text in the clock looks funny for some reason also.

The text saying "Slide To Unlock" is not central and there is an artifact near the slider (the green line down the letter D)

also the number pad seems to be very small, it looks really nice but seems to small
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] johanromijn:
LOL, looks like you're using it on your VGA device, while this skin is for QVGA.

@htctoucher:

This skind looks amazing. You still planning on releasing a VGA version?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 4D3:
LOL? where exactly does it say in the first post that this is a QVGA skin?

also in the 3rd post someone is asking for a QVGA version, therefore I would naturally assume that this is for VGA.

Upon reading abit further i found this:

again pointing to the fact that there is a vga version, the clue is "ALL RESOLUTIONS" or am i mistaken and you find something else funny?

It seems i can help you, i have a VGA device and i dont mind testing for you!!

Also i noticed your plee for an old VGA device, currently i am not at my home, but i am sure i have an old device sitting in a draw at home.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] johanromijn:
You are totally right, but your screenshot looked funny. :D

I hope he just started with a QVGA version (for his own device), and is still planning on making a VGA version.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 4D3:
well im sure if the two of us test for him it will help!!

or even if i knew where the setting were, i would hapilly have a go myself!

MG
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Krzysiec:
VGA please :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
hey guys sorry for the graphical errors i hadnt been able to test it (i am actually not even using s2u2 anymore because of wm6.5's built in lock - just made this because I said I was going to :D)

loaded it on my device, now everything should be working

cant test vga.. but that should all be fine, please report back if it isnt!

also, I couldnt really decide on styles for the sliders so just made several available (you can take a look at them in the gfx folder)

enjoy!

htctoucher

oh and MysticGenius and johanromijn

thanks for the support! I would be glad to make you my vga beta testers for future skins, for this just report back and ill work with you to make it work (if something isnt working :D)

@mysticgenius

any vga device would REALLY help out, just let me know ;)

thanks guys
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
oh also, did you guys prefer the older screenshots of the lock screen, with top and bottom bars, or this way with none?

s2u2 is so limited in skinning that to have the callerid screens look like they do in the first post you cant have top and bottom bars.. which is why i changed the style

let me know!

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jaiiscool:
but where is the cab for download, i really love this skin and am dying for it........
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
ill upload it soon, its just not completely done, but i dont have enough time to finish it completely

the only things not done are the locked dialer and some of the lock buttons
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] skymario:
Thx so much, I like them all !! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] magicalan:
i will sooo change to 6.5 lol :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] usrname:
slider is not working for me
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] EnsconcE:
Did you restart iLock? or did you do a soft reset?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
man is that weird..

is that VGA?

havent been able to test vga, maybe someone else with a vga device can chime in, say if its working on their device

i dont know why it is so horribly cut off on your device, that really should not happen, maybe try a soft reset.. how did you go about installing s2u2?

UPDATES!!

-- dialer uploaded

-- wm6.5 skin uploaded

comm manager is coming as soon as someone provides me with where i can find a cab of the one i screenshotted (its running on wm6.5 NFSFAN v6 rom)

hopefully someone knows where i can find it!

also, i dont know if ill be able to do a VGA dialer.. because if its anything as intense as the opal phone canvas.. that will take me ages!

but we will see.. (what dialer is most popular with vga users?)

anyone have a cab?

same goes for comm manager

the more info/cabs/files you guys running wvga/vga/wqvga find me the faster ill be able to support your resolutions!

keep that in mind ;)

and, those of you who saw my first screenshots, do you want more wallpapers? or do you like the ones I uploaded? (s2u2)

enjoy!

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 4D3:
Hi thanks for your vga skin i can verify that the slider is cut off, ill post screens in a sec
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 4D3:
Hi,

Here are the screens. also the highlight on the password screen highlights more than the buttons, also it looks like the "DATE" text is out of line (I dnt no if its anything to do with your skin but it was central before i applyed this)

Would you find it helpful if i posted the original skin files from the VGA device so you can see them?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] usrname:
both. after restart/reboot didn't work I found out that slider.png ist twice as big as original vga slider. after resize it works.

im tried it on my blackstone wvga
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jinth0688:
can't get the theme to work

can you create a tsk and cab?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Stylez Ray.:
Same here, tried to copy the files from XP to the device directly: didn't work.

Tried to copy to storage card first and then copy to windows folder in WinMo also didn't work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aiwenor:
great job

works great on my elf, thanks mate :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
if youre talking about the wm6.5 theme.. are you running 6.5?

also, make sure you have default blue tsk selected which comes standard with wm6.5

great! glad to hear its working :D

vga users.. the only issue is the slider right?

sorry to say i dont know why it isnt working.. it should

for soem reason it isnt drawing like it draws in the qvga version of s2u2..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Aqrab:
same problem here on diamond !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jinth0688:
i have 6.5 but i dont have the default blue tsk..anyone mind uploading?

edit: found it in another thread but i have a bug with the menus
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
that is really weird

it's not supposed to look like that.. it's working great on my device (HTC touch :D)

it's called classic blue tsk it should be in your rom
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 4D3:
All the WM6.5 themes you need are here in my thread!!!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=3580783#post3580783

ALL OF THEM!!!

:D:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] magicalan:
does it mean your gonna stop skinning for wm and move for the pre? or make skins more pre-ish lol

edit nevermind i read it again lol
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sean D.:
What dialer do I have to install in order to get this to work? I installed it, and it just put a WM5 dialer with these colors, and a bunch of offset graphics.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sean D.:
???

Bump...?? :confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
for the dialer you just install the cab

it's a skinned version of mbarvians opal phone canvas
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sean D.:
Oh well...

It didn't work for me at all. I installed it, and it was just a messed up version of the standard WM dialer, but with these colors, and a few misplaced graphics.

Dang. :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mike21pr:
oh hell yeah webOS, thats what im talking about!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] magicalan:
htctoucher hope u can still like skin more on the 6.5 theme am using it :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mari8b:
Phone canvas graphics

Can you upload only the phone canvas graphics files (not the whole opal phone canvas cab)?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JesperO:
Thanks for the wonderful skin, though I have the same problem as a few people before me. With the buttons and arrows in the size it comes, it gets cut off. But if you resize it to the size the original arrow is, it shows normal (just kinda small), though in the place where the original arrow had been. This looks kinda ugly, since it should be at the very bottom.

Do anyone have any solution for this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
hey guys sorry i havent been checking my threads lately.. kinda taking a break

ill try to answer some of your questions ;)

hmm.. thats.. really weird

you install to device?

you have qvga?

qvga being thhe important here

other than that not sure really

sorry

yeah it is SO sweet from what I've seen.. im debating on getting that and leaving winmo.. not sure yet

if not i think ima try and make a new skinset based on it, mainly because it uses the screen so well

what part of the 6.5 theme?

yeah sure no problem, check back soon :D

EDIT.. uploaded to second post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=3454368#post3454368

yeah i really dont know why that was happening.. i wish i could help you.. if i had a VGA device i would be able to support vga/wvga better, but i am not gonna buy a new device until a really truly amazzing winmo phone comes out

so unless a donated device comes my way.. :o

thanks for the support guys!

hope that answers some of your questions

at some point ill start skinning again.. if ud like you can voice opinions on what kind of skins ud like to see.. gimme screenshots from around the internet that you find you like the design of or graphics etc

stay tuned ;)

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] magicalan:
like finishing the skinning u know

KNOWN ISSUES:

-- some of the graphics of the lock screen have not been skinned, like the locked dialer for example

when I get more time I will skin these as well

thanks :D love your skins
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sean D.:
yeah, I really wanted to rock this dialer. :(

But this is the dialer that it installed

But like I said, it came out with this dialer, but with Gray buttons, and the rest of the graphics were the color of your skin.

I do have a QVGA device (kaiser, with a stock ROM) and I did install it on the device, not the storage card.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mreaglejr:
whooohooo

omg!! :E that's awesome!! i'm totally with you, lol!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JesperO:
The HTC Touch Pro 2 seems pretty awesome, dunno the price though.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
oh :p

maybe.. but i might just start on a new theme instead :D

ill let you know

man.. thats so weird.. i used the cab and it worked fine

maybe try installing another cab of the opal phone canvas and then use the files i uploaded to replace in your windows directory?

really sorry i cant be of more help.. i just have no idea

haha yeah palm pre interface is damn beautiful

agreed.. i was thinkin of diamond2.. but its still just runnin wm6.5 skinned by htc, id love a new interface like the palm pre.. plus its cheaper :D

and to all, ive uploaded some new shots of where im goin with the palm pre skin if i do decide to make it into a skin (see first post) or here:

and

personally.. i really like the dialer and the bottom buttons

im not sure about the alphabetical separator yet.. still workin on how that should look

anyway, anyone who wants to leave feedback as always is welcome to do so :D

thanks guys

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] magicalan:
yep i like the dialer too

makes me want adroid more for some reason.. i know its the palm pre but it has something that makes it look the same way :eek:

u should check it out toucher :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
just a lil of what im working on

dnt want to start a new thread just in case ;)

inspired by palm pre (dialer) and windows (taskbars/background)

this is the dialer concept (not opal phone canvas.. i refuse to skin htc dialers any more unless they get easier to skin! - opal has hundreds of files and doesnt support transparency which makes it hard to make unique skins.. this dialer on the other hand has around a dozen or so)

or darker (not sure yet)

i tried a blue dialer, but orange is just more vibrant, not as cold

i felt like green on green like the pre, was too like the pre.. so i made the background an orange color like winmo 6.5

also, orange on orange was too much orange so i brought green on orange :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] magicalan:
I like the second oneee :)

remember that we are not always in the dark when theres sunlight its gonna get harder to c :P

ithink lol
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JesperO:
Nice, I think you should go for the lighter green, although if you go for the dark one, you should make the highlight a bit mur subtle, as it is now it kinda pops out a bit, making it not very realistic.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dare2know:
..

Thats Rocking Buddy...Keep ur good work going ..God will embrace your Success and men will worship u..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] omair2005:
the dialer looks great!! I mean really great!! One suggestion would be to make the numbers bigger and more centered.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zard:
Like the left version, i.e. lighter green. Beautiful!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] magicalan:
isa htctoucher retired forevar? i want the palmpre dialer so bad >_< lol
