VGA N QVGA Variation release tonite

I have two more skins ready for release but I am having difficulties trying to post them with my PPC so I will not be able to post for about 8 more hours when I will have access to a PC. The skins are both VGA N QVGA, black n green version and black n blue version. I added a ripple effect and an accent color on the black face keys. Just a variation on skins already released but I think these are the best looking, I could be wrong that happens! LOL!
[Windows Mobile Themes] drew2000:
Released: VGA N QVGA "Rippled Black N Blue" TouchPal 4 skin

Hope you like this slight variation of the "Black N Blue" skin, it is both VGA and QVGA. Look closely at the black keys and you can see the slight changes.

Awesome work with the skins! Can I make a small request? Instead of posting which post # the files are attached to, maybe consolidate them on the first post?

Other than that, keep up the great work :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] holdemdogg:
I'll have to say congrats bud on some awesome work I know you worked hard on all these and it shows awesome work bud Your makin me wont to go to this keyboard. Thank you for all your hard work
[Windows Mobile Themes] drew2000:
Good idea

Thanks for the comments and I agree I will place the files closer to the first post. You can only have Eight attachements per post and that includes pics so I will do my best to consolidate them.

Holdemdogg, thanks by the way your stuff rocks Bud! If you do get TouchPal you wont be disappointed with the keyboard I guarantee that! But as for my skins it is just the best I can do at this time, almost completely done on my PPC. Take it easy friend.......................later.

Any Testers? This is VGA

I do not have a VGA device and therefore I can't test this skin so I need some help , if any of you VGA'ers out there would be kind enough to test this skin for me I would appreciate it very much. If it works great please report that and if there are issues please explain best you can and/or attach screenshots if you can. The picture in the above post (#78) is what it should look like on your device. Hopefully everything works nicely. When I am able to fix any issues that are reported I will update all the skins I have done to a finished skin (Top to bottom like this one) There are also some that would like red pop up buttons and I will get this done soon as well. Thank you for checking out this thread and do not forget to back up your resources folder first!.......................later.:D:eek:

[Windows Mobile Themes] drew2000:
Sure, no problem

I am glad you like them, I will try to get "Grey N Blue Ridged" done tonite and you are right I didn't even think much about the name...LOL Please test the VGA Grey N Red Ridged for me so I know everything looks correct and works properly then I will be able to make VGA and QVGA every time plus update every older skin to VGA as well. I am not sure about the VGA because I cannot test I only have QVGA. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] bonsaiboyz:
Tested and is working great on my diamond :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] drew2000:
Thanks

So glad to hear that, thank you very much I will have Grey N Blue VGA N QVGA done by this time tomorrow. Much appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Themes] peacock93:
Looks great on Touch Pro (VGA)!! One small issue is the "Back" button has a little distortion to it. Not sure why and maybe it's just my device. This is now my default Skin!!!

Thanks again!!:D:D:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] climber1872000:
It must be your device. If you look at my post on the previous page of this thread you will notice that I have zero distortion on my VGA Fuze screen.
[Windows Mobile Themes] drew2000:

[Windows Mobile Themes] dheerajk27:
@drew2000: Your skins are really superb. Especially the last one - blue n grey. Just wondering whether you have any plans to port the one given by Lycox on another thread - EzInput style for TouchPal - to QVGA? Would have loved to have something like that on my QVGA device. May be, too much of an ask, right?
[Windows Mobile Themes] ems275:
I did port it to QVGA earlier this evening, but as Lycox stated he did not think the graphics would look that great and it is not too bad IMHO. But Lycos's work is amazing so it is adequate for my use. But I will post it for you if you would like....give me a few minutes.

-------

Here you go, Give it a Try and ket me know what you think.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dheerajk27:
That was amazingly quick, mate. Thanks a ton! Just downloaded. Will check and post the feedback, in a few minutes.

Feedback: It looks great and is definitely adequate to my use as well. I think, nothing more could have been done considering the difficulty in porting that skin. I will be sticking to the same for sure. Thanks again for your wonderful efforts and sharing the same.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ems275:
I ported it earlier this evening, before I went to work, and tried it on my phone, I was going to make sure is was fully functional before posting but I have not had the time yet, so you were the first to ask so I figuired I would post it. I hope you have positive results.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dheerajk27:
As updated in my previous post, it is definitely adequate to my use. I have tested the functionalities - all work well. The slight distortion of some fonts is understandable considering the porting from VGA. So, I am definitely happy with the skin. Thank you, again.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ems275:
No Problem at all my friend :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] Lycox:
My Name is Lycox not Lycos!!! :p

Please post and discuss this skin in my thread, as I wrote you in a PM.

But guys don't forget: I don't take any support to the qvga port of my skin.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ems275:
I corrected your name in my post, so sorry on the spelling :p

I will post the skin in your thread, No problem on the support issue, totally understand.

I never got your PM, I just checked and there are no messages? :confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] Lycox:
Ooops, forgot to press the submit button :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] tcchuin:
can any1 improve this skin?or some1 can teach me how to improve it?
[Windows Mobile Themes] ems275:
I spoke to the Creator of the Original VGA version, Lycox, this morning and he explained somewhat of what needs to be done to make it better. I am working on it as we speak, but I may not get it fully done and posted until this evening.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Lycox:
LOL :D

Redraw it from scratch like me ;) :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] tcchuin:
omg..==..finnally knew why you dont want to create a qvga version for the good skin..btw..can you provide the font you using?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Lycox:
Which one? The VGA, which is improved IMO for all latin chars (russian is in the test) or the QVGA which is only resized?
[Windows Mobile Themes] tcchuin:
no...nothing..never mind...i only have paint on my computer and i'm not going to use it to improve the qvga version of the skin
[Windows Mobile Themes] Lycox:
That wasn't my question. Do you mean the VGA or the QVGA fonts?
[Windows Mobile Themes] tcchuin:
i mean QVGA
[Windows Mobile Themes] Lycox:
Will be optimized when VGA version has reached final status. The chars are the hardest part of the skin. :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] tcchuin:
yay..thanks!btw..i'm using chinese version of touchpal..now on qvga mobile..the "more" button which is located at upside of"backspace" is not working..i think there isnt a problem in vga version
[Windows Mobile Themes] Lycox:
No, not. Maybe it's a bug of TP itself... :confused:

But please, discussion of this skin VGA/QVGA in the official thread :)

ems275 will realease a resized version and will post it in my thread, so discussion goes there.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ems275:
QVGA port is released and posted in Lycox's Original thread, download and discussion can be found here:

[Windows Mobile Themes] drew2000:
Nice, ems275

ems275 The port to QVGA of Lycox skin looks real nice, Lycox has built a beautiful skin to say the least.

It will take a long time to adjust the text (in my own skins) but I have started customizing the small details. I will probably be a bit before I release anything seeing as I will have to customize all the text graphics and such but it is all fun right??!
[Windows Mobile Themes] drew2000:
Elements adjustment QVGA only (enter and space key image)

Just a tiny adjustment if you want it (QVGA only). Changed the enter and space keys image, (elements.png). Just overwrite the elements.png in your resources folder.
[Windows Mobile Themes] drew2000:
Just a bit of change

This is just a little bit of modding I have been doing lately..........later.

If you are looking for some real crisp HD graphics make sure to check out Lycox thread if you haven't done so yet his skin is very impressive and the port of his skin by ems275 looks great as well . Lycox is in the process of a "native" QVGA version of his skin as well as color variations.

Any interest in this variation of the same skin (Blk N Blue With White) let me know (first pic) it seems a bit less busy and more clear. The second pic is the original, it shows the key pressed with pop up key. Just a small change to the top and bottom of the keys.:confused::):eek:

Looks like I am done here skinning TouchPal, sometime Sunday I will post my last conversion which of course is the "Black N White" into VGA.
