shoot!

shoot! sorry i did not get back to you. i keep an eye in my subscriptions- but i didn't know an update doesn't show as a new post so i didn't see your update. I like 4 and 5 more. they look great. thanks so much. also- and i hope this doesn't totally screw things up bc i am not sure if i told you my device resolution is 480x800 (wvga)?

****EDIT**** if i would have paid closer attention to your title i could have answered my own question.
[Windows Mobile Themes] drew2000:
No problem

It is all good, I am posting another option that I am making at the same time as your skin see if you like it I am posting it now and yess the skin will work just fine on your WVGA device (480x800)

[Windows Mobile Themes] thepolishguy:
Yes. that is cool. but not sure what you mean? do you mean you could incorporate something like that with the skin you are designing for me? if so- would a pre-view be possible?
[Windows Mobile Themes] drew2000:
Oops!

No I am sorry about the confusion the picture 4 and 5 as you said is the one I am making for you and the other screen shot is another one I am making as well. I should be done by tonight so I will keep plugging away.
[Windows Mobile Themes] thepolishguy:
Ok. cool. i have to go to work in a couple of hours- but will check back around 8:30 or 9 (PST). If you can't get mine all done- don't sweat it. I am sure you probably would like to get the other one done first since it is more for your general audience.
[Windows Mobile Themes] drew2000:
Yours first.....

Nope yours is first then next week I am going to be making a bunch of varieties real fast then back off and get ready for TouchPal version 5!

[Windows Mobile Themes] drew2000:
Thank you!

Thanks Maison I am glad you like it! Please do let me know how it looks on your device for you and I can make alterations to it next Thursday if needed. No there is not a PayPal button but there will be sometime down the road, right now I work for free and trying to contribute here on XDA. Thank you for the offer it is appreciated just as much as a donation trust me. Right now I am working on a computer with XP Pro 2002, 2.8 pentium 4 processor, and only 528 RAM, graphics with "paint.net" so I am limited but happy to help!

Ok so i copied the files over and everything looks really really good. can't think of anything that i would want to change. thanks. I wish i could learn some skinning skills. but i wouldn't even know where to start. of course, now you know i will be hitting you up when v.5 comes out right?
[Windows Mobile Themes] drew2000:
@ maisonpulaski

Just glad you like it and just get your feet wet skinning and before you know it you will be flowing down the river of progress. I have just begun I think I started around May 2009 and had not ever done anything before, so if I can anyone can do something but it takes alot of work and practice to get as good as some of the pros here on XDA I am just a rookie trying to learn! I am hoping to get a beta version 5 soon CooTek is supposed to ome calling at least that is what I heard. They said I am on the list to test so we will see.............................later.

New WIP "BlacknSimple"

I wanted make a skin for the 3.5 users that was easier to read but there doesn't seem to be much interest in the 3.5 skins so this will be my last skin until version 5 in released.
[Windows Mobile Themes] thepolishguy:
Is this just a preview?
[Windows Mobile Themes] drew2000:
As of right now

Yes Sir, I will have it done by the end of the weekend and then that will be it for skins until version 5....................................
[Windows Mobile Themes] thepolishguy:
you will have to let us all know about version 5. DO you think it will be a free upgrade from V.4? I know every one is all over SwypeIt right now- but I actually like TouchPal more. TouchPal seems a lot faster bc of the word completion.

CooTek doesn't keep me up to date at all, I only know they are going to be releasing it sometime this spring I believe. Wish I could tell you more. I like Swype as well but find it lacking in comparison just like you so we will look forward to what CooTek has in store for us.................:D:D:eek:

[Windows Mobile Themes] thepolishguy:
I don't know. That is what I was going to ask you. I downloaded a minute ago, but have not installed. No time to mess with it today. I just heard about it and thought it might be helpful to you if you had not heard about it. Didn't know how it compared to Paint. But read the Wiki and they said it is pretty high quality (almost like photo shop- which i have never used either).

Hey Drew, can you do a VGA TP3.5 white skin or a HTC style? That would be great! I keep going back to 3.5, 4.0 is just too buggy.
[Windows Mobile Themes] drew2000:
I am sorry but I am done skinning CooTek's product until v5 comes out and even then I may not.................I have my reasons and I may change my mind but for the time being there will not be any new skins for TouchPal. Lycox's new skin is pretty sweet but for v4 not v3.5 so..........

update: I am going to do some new keyboard skins using images from other skins so it is real easy to make these updates so I hope someone likes them, the first will be Simple Black then a white version and I think dark blue.........possible dark red to go with S2W's Dark Crimson skin.....we will see.

Sorry it was a problem but I just did it again on my device and worked perfectly after placing a different skin on first so I know it works. Delete your resources folder and place the new one in the touchpal folder and reset and it will work, it has been tested three times now........good luck

There might have been a problem when I zipped it up, the size of the zip has changed so hopefully it works now for you.

UPDATE: I just did what I asked you to do, "delete the resources folder then unzip the resources folder into the TouchPal folder and reset" and all is looking good here so let me know.......

Sorry I took so long to reply Maison I have no idea they will not even reply to my emails so who knows what is going on over there. I have a HD2 now and like it a lot but I am going to go with Android this Fall I am hearing about a kick ass device for T-Mobile we will see if it is true or not. Those Android guys really did get the shaft and it will hurt future sales. I am not even sure I want to skin their product any longer. I know Lycox has tried to get information from them as well but they do not seem to respect all the work he has done to bring a professional look to their product. Time will tell what their plan is and we will see what their response is to all of the requests from the users of TouchPal, there has been a lot of suggestions just look at their forum and we will see if they are listening at all. Nice hearing from you Bud, take it easy.

[Windows Mobile Themes] drew2000:
You have to download the keyboard from www.CooTek.com, there is a trial if you do not want to buy it then try it first, I am sure you will like it. Then download the skin zip you want to use, unzip it with Pocket RAR or Total Commander (both of which are free) unzip it (resources folder) to \device\programs\touchpal (touch the folder that says TouchPal) then overwrite the files so say ok when it asks you this then reboot the phone (restart). It should be all good........

Hi Drew this is my problem :( :( plz help me.

The evaluation period has expired. do you want to purchase now?

That message just means that your trial period has ended and you have to buy the keyboard. That has nothing to do with Drew's skin. Not sure if you understood that or not?

The Black/Green for sure is the best of the lot you did for the black skin.. Great job! Hope you release it for QVGA soon! Thanks lots!

Thanks Bud glad you like it. What I meant about the text is that the original skin "black N blue" the black keys had white text and blue pop up buttons had white text. The "black and green" screenshot has black text on the green pop ups, if you look at the "black N red" screenshot you see the red has white text in the pop up. That is what I am referring to Bud. "oknaka1" and "mOnkeyman" I am hoping to finish QVGA and VGA "Black N Green" and Black N Red" by tomorrow morning. Hope everyone is pleased with the skins. Take it easy.........later
