UPDATE: 4-16-09 Tried an update on the Wait cursor only cab

UPDATE 3-30-09: added the registry entries for battery in waitcursor skin

added wait cursor only cab. If someone can tell me who made the original taskbar, I will give full credit in this post. Thanks

updated dialer skin(thid will only work on VGA devices with HTC or ATT slide dialer.

The purpose of this thread is to keep skin discussions and ideas for the Energy ROM in one location, and to save space on NRGZ28's thread.

I am working on skinning some components for the ENergy ROM, full list will be at bottom. I'm basically trying to add to the already great look of the ROM without adding too much(like the Elite project which looks great). Please post any ideas, and if you are graphically talented at all you can help out in the process. I am planning on making a few variations on some skins for people to choose from. These may or may not be cooked into the ROM, or even better installed during customization for people who like the plain old stuff ;)

I am very busy right now moving from QVGA to VGA, and have my fingers into all sorts of stuff(skinning, ROM cooking, and some other things). Any help with skinning would be greatly appreciated. I have a great deal of knowledge for skinning almost all aspects of Winmo, so if you want to skin something but are not sure how to go about it just ask. There are some great tutorials and resources at www.SkinZone.org if you haven't been there yet, I suggest to have a look. There is a great team of skinners there and we are all willing to help with any issues you might have.

Please use this thread as a central meeting place to discuss ideas and share skins that will go good with the Energy ROM. Sorry if I missed something, I made a really nice thread yesterday, but it was lost in the fire(XDA was hacked or something yesterday)

Progress so far:

-Wait Cursor: Made this for Energy ROM, but decided to share as most of the kitchens I have been using include the same taskbar icons and stuff. The attatched cab is a full taskbar replacement, as well as the cursor. This uses no additional RAM or programs, as it is just replacing the stock items.

-"White" Energy wallpaper: This is most likely going to be used as a background image for Dialer, Commanager, Thumbcal, etc. I am posting it here incase any skinners on the same ROM would like to help out.

-Dialer: Uploaded second test dialer. Should flow better with the call history up top.

To Come:

In no specific order, I bounce around a lot so whatever gets done first gets done.

-Full dialer with in call and curtain

-Communication manager. Need some help on this. The new Rhodium Commanager with enhancements uses a different background than the Diamond or Kaiser commanager. Diamond one uses P_BG.png, which I found and changed but has no effect on this commanager for some reason. Anybody with a cab or OEM of this? Is it someything built into the new manilla? if so can you point me to tje right manilla file?

-iContactBE: Using some of the new notification icons and colors to compliment the new Manilla interface

-Thumcal: again to compliment the new Manilla and incorporate the "White" Energy BG

-PocketCM Keyboard

-Windows Media Player skin

-TP2 Calculator

-Resco Explorer\Registry

-Opera Splash Screen

-suggestions?

Skins I would like to see from others( feel free to skin the above list as well)

-PocketCM contacts

-Yota dialer/contact replacement

-S2U2

-Opera?

-Anything you wanna skin ;)

Please see following posts for screens. I will update this thread as needed(when I have time) If you post a skin you can PM me and I will add it to the first page. I'll be attatching items wherever for now until the collection grows.
