Awsome! You rock! I tried mixing and matching some files and plugged in wvga buttons to a qvga folder. As you can guess it didn't work out too well. I don't know what to do with xmlgui. Looks like it is a desktop app. I guess I'll have to get Gimpy (learn Gimp).

All I want now is a screen off button (and that multi colored windows logo over the water background). I'm so demanding! Sorry, but please, please, please.

Xda is the, what's the word, shiznit? Thanks dharvey, DaveShaw, eDaniel, gadget, phonatic and who knows who else for the app and layouts and graphics evolution.

Thanks xda for almost everything I've put on my phone. I'm almost out of memory. Can't wait to upgrade and do more.

What post# is the logo over water that you refer to. Or is it a combination of two different things. I will help if I can.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Manicmobileaddict:
post 387. I've found a glass windows logo like that, but I don't have photoshop. I've got gimp and trying to learn it. I love the look of that logo over the dark water. I would just copy the image, but it has buttons on it(in the zip too). I've been playing around with this and have a mix of different buttons from gadget 'cause I like the lights off option. I moved the 5 buttons to the left. Now I just need to find a background to suit it. I'd post a screenshot, but I can't figure that out. Looks like I can't get the bmp file from my phone to my computer. It'll take any other file except bmp. It's ugly anyway. I need to space my buttons out better anyway.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
I am also learning The Gimp. It was a real pain to do this. Took me about 2 1/2 hours. IF I had known- I would have just PM'ed the creator. I am sure he could give it to you wo buttons. Probably look better too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Manicmobileaddict:
Maybe he'll post it if he sees this. I don't want to be toooo much of a bother. I'm hoping it has no text at all, but I'm thinking I'll quit trying to mod these artists work. The more I look through here the harder it is to decide what I like. There's so many cool ones.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Phonatic:
Thanks, for the help.

I'm a bit dissappointed that no one else was willing to help me by posting a different background to show that it works on any background.

I can now upload pics.

Here's a couple of screenshots with Windows sample backgrounds.

The second pic shows the cancel pressed effect.

Cuz I'm an idiot.

I know what size to resize them. I must have somehow changed a template and never noticed the error. All backgrounds were derived from the improper sized template.

Thanks for the heads up. I can easily fix them.

It's no bother. Here's the background that I used to make the skin.

It is one that I had found somewhere online.

Thanks. All credits go to Gadget. I just made a few minor changes to his gorgeous buttons.

Is this the wallpaper you were referring to?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Manicmobileaddict:
That's the one I was looking for. Searched the net for it, but couldn't find it with the water. Thanks big time. Gadget's buttons are awesome. I especially like his glass buttons with the transparency effect. I like the later chrome bordered ones better without the transparency (no offense to his artwork). Your layouts are awesome also. It makes it hard to decide what to go with. I'll probably switch often. The any backgound option is great too. Cool app, thanks DaveShaw (and even asofiker for asking him to do it). I've realized I've asked some dumb questions that I would have known the anwers to if I'd have read better. I'm going to go through this thread all over again.

Additional func

Hm.. I do like this app and I use it instead of standard End longpress button menu.

But in the original menu it was possible to turn HD2 to vibrate mode. That was useful. Is it possible to add buttons here, I'd like silent/vibrate/normal modes?

Any ideas?

first attempt

I learned a few things about Gimp so here's my first attempt. I just had to have a screen off button so I did some copying and pasting of gadget's button. Not nearly as clean as his.

Guess I should throw in a landscape although I don't think that xml had landscape and I think I had another background entirely in that zip.

xdaShutdown Window (new concept) for Wvga and Vga

View attachment xdaWindow.zip

The concept of this skin is use the .pngs to create a window.

The skin will render the window on top of any background. So use you own background to customize it to your preference.

The portrait and landscape layouts look exactly the same.

It uses one background for both portrait and landscape. You can edit the.xml if you want to use a different lanscape background.

So it doesn't matter which orientation you start it in, it will always be in the same location, even when rotated.

This skin will work for both Wvga and Vga.

For Wvga use an 800x800 background labled background.png.

For Vga 640x640.

You can use this concept to create various windows and such.

Here are some example screenshots of the window on top of different backgrounds.

The press effects are nice, but nothing special, so no need to post any other pic to show them.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tilt ommarow:
Looks nice. May i suggest running the xda devlopers text downward on the right side.

It would balance out the layout and allow you to space the buttons a little.

Just a sugestion, nice job either way.:)

@Phonatic, wow great idea.:D

I just tried it and it's fantastic. May I request an XP style window, the one you made previously, but in this format.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Manicmobileaddict:
Somethin' like this? I left a little room at the bottom for the bar. I wanted to make sure my first logo was xda. Just call me fanboy. It's fun. Maybe one day I'll be able to compete.

Wow:eek:, Not exactly the one I was thinking. I didn't even know that you had made this one.

I was talking about the one that you did for ArtieQ.

But this is great. I'm good with this one. It's more like the actual XP window.:)

Thanks man, for doing it and doing it so quickly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DarkPrinceByWWW:
Why haven't you attached the wallpaper? :'(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Phonatic:
To encourage users to personalize the skin with their own background.

I made the backgrounds just to demonstrate the diversity of the windows.

For my fellow bikers, I just updated the post with another skin.

Instead of a window, the skin adds the Harley-Davidson badge logo to any background.

You can use a pic of your Harley or your biker-chick girlfriend as a background.:) The demo pic has Marissa Miller.

I just updated the post again. I added a background download folder for the Harley Skin.

Each background can be used for both portrait and landscape. Only one background is needed for these skins.

Using 800x800 or 800x696 for Wvga allows for the background to look good in either orientation, even when rotated.

my new skin

Well, I got too ambitious. Of course all the images are off the internet. I added text to my background, I've got my buttons lined up and they light up, but they interfere with each other. I'm guessing because of the odd shapes. I've got a line on there I need to fix, but not sure where it came from. I'm thinking from a button with the left (blank) and right images too far apart, but not sure which one yet. Maybe just fuscia on one side of a buton?

I don't really like the x button on this skin, but it's not on the background and can be left out. I figure I can use the close button on the bottom bar. I actually did not work out the layout of the landscape yet.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dianathaxton:
Thank you very much Phonatic !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Phonatic:
You're very welcome.:)

I updated the post. I added a Dusk-style window.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Manicmobileaddict:
Sorry to quote my own post, but I wanted to make sure it was visible instead of just editing an old one.

Is there any way I can pull this off? I want my buttons to light up. The whole button. They do and they look great, but if I touch too close to another button they both light up. I figure it's because of the irregular shapes on top of rectangular fuscia backs.

I tried to find a work around. I cut my buttons out of my background. I pasted them on a fuscia backing, cut them out again and pasted an saved them in a new screen (image editor?) in Gimp.

I thought for sure they would be saved in the new document (a png) without anything outside of the buttons borders. They looked like they did when I open the document.

I copied one into my xdashutdown folder and tested it, but now it looks like there is still a rectangular back only now it is white since there was no fuscia to make it transparent.

When does that rectangle get added? When I save my document or when xdashutdown uses it?

Either way I'm hoping there is a fix. Is it something I can do when I save my final image? If it's not my image document and it's happening when xdashutdown uses it is there any possibility the program can be manipulated? Something like a configuration editor or something where I can tell it what shape to use?

1. I'm probably way off base and have no idea what I'm talking about.

2. I'm dreaming.

3. It's just something stupid and simple I'm overlooking.

4. I have no idea how to spell fuscia.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ArtieQ:

Wvga,Vga skin

This is a three button layout. View attachment Skins.zip

Basically one layout that is used for all the button sets.

Here's six sets of buttons to choose from.

I included a background in each button folder.

You can use your own background to personalize it.

I also have some backgrounds to share.

These fourteen I put together for the darker buttons. http://depositfiles.com/files/mxfjgnlnm

They also work well with the darker window skins.

Here's a few screenshots.

To use, just choose a folder and place the contents (the .xml file and the four .png files) into your phones xdaShutdown folder.

Oh, I also edited the DuskWindow Skin. And made a minor change to the XdaWindow Skin.

And I just added a Carbon Window Skin.

All three of those skins look good with the backgrounds that are in the backgrounds folder above.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rat_2665:
@DaveShaw

Is there any chance to include a Sense reset function?

For skinning it would be nice to lay the buttons over a background image. So it's possible to use really transparent buttons.

I translated the program to hungarian language, but with reshaker I found only the menu strings. Where are the string message? Should I editing it with a hexa editor?

Bye,

B.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blackdog7:
I see by the other translated files are the warning messages english too.

How can we translating it?

I mean the message at Power "Are you sure want to power off your device?"

B.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DaveShaw:
Don't know to tell you the truth. I didn't use a seperate file for the String's so I'm guessing that's my mistake :(.

I'll try to remeber for the next version.

Dave
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blackdog7:
I know the truth! :) It was what I said...

The results you can see on the pictures!

The only thing what I don't found is the Yes & No button. I'm sure they aren't in any of your files! But then where are they? :(

Anyway thx for the app!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DaveShaw:
I'm sure I just pass in MB_YES and MB_NO into the message box :s.

I'll double check my code next time. Do any other Yes / No buttons translate in the OS? Might be an OS thing.

Dave
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blackdog7:
Hi,

I'm sorry, but I am not a really coders. I'm using the hexeditor just for fun. So I know only that the numbers of the characters in hex must be the same after any editing process. If the characters will be more, than the filesize will greater too and the application may be don't running.

So I can search for any word in hex for "Yes" and for "No". But there aren't any of these.

I translated my PDA myself. It can be of course that any system file with Yes/No still there. But I don't know which is this system file. On my translated system this is the only application where the Yes/No are still in english.

I see in your app, that you using the windows/poweroffwarning.exe and htcutil.dll but there wasn't a solution. (In poweroffwarning.exe are Yes and No, but neither modifying was not solution.)

Sorry for my english knowledge I hope you understand me.

Bye.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DarkPrinceByWWW:
Hey Phonatic, after all this great themes its just your destiny to make a skin fitting the gtx theme ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DaveShaw:
I don't use the messages inside PowerOffWarning or HTC Util, I do my own.

In programming, 99 times out of a 100 you create a messagebox and tell it what buttons you want using "Flags". These tell the OS, what buttons you want from a standard list (wrong language, but same buttons) :).

The OS should then Localise (translate) these buttons.

EDIT:: I'm beginning to think that partial transparency support was not included with this app. It's either all or nothing. Therefore - partially transparent background might not be in the release.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wez89:
Ahh i see, would be nice to see transparency..im trying to think of an alternative method
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dharvey4651:
Easy - Make backgound that mirrors your Today-Screen. There's only a small handful of issues with that:

1. Not every user will use the same background wallpaper

2. Not every user is using the same UI

3. The time and date will appear as it did the day the screenshot of the home page was taken.

4. Probably a dozen other little problems I'm not thinking of...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Manicmobileaddict:
too bad it can't take a screen cap and switch out the background real quick each time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wez89:
You could use the method you say

maybe not have the clock in the background annd just have the plain wallpaper, just a suggestion. would be nice to see semi transparencies though
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dharvey4651:
Yeah well that would be cool and all but the semi-transparency would still be the best solution. I've tried contacting daveshaw but he's not responding. Maybe he's busy with other projects.

GTX Skin Pack includes Skin Changer

Sorry, I couldn't resist. That posted skin was meant as a joke.:)

That's why the attached download was labled GTXnonSense.

My search did bring up the GTXSense Theme.

Maybe it was destiny that crashed my pc. I can't load PhotoShop, but I still have MSPaint.

My understanding of GTX is plain/simple, clean, whiteish.

I think that I was able to use Paint to meet that criteria.

Paint doesn't let you do much, but these skins didn't require much, as far as effects.

The skins should match the theme because, I used screenshots from El Condor and the lockscreen graphics posted by CTBear.

I also used Gullum's skin that I had previously adapted to white.

Thanks and credits go to all of them.

Please judge how they suit the theme. I would love feedback.

Pics would be nice.

I included two different layouts. Both layouts accomodate any background.

There a four different skins because I included two backgrounds for each layout.

The skin labled GTXGullumB2 isn't meant to match the theme.

It's to demonstrate the GTXGullum layout also looks good with non GTX backgrounds.

I also wrote simple Mortscripts to be used as a skin changers.

You'll be able to preview all four skins in less than a minute.

To use the scripts you will need Mortscipt and xdaShutdown installed.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1) Download and unzip this file. View attachment xdaShutdownSkins.zip

2) Place the "xdaShutdownSkins" folder in the root directory of your devices storage card.

3) On your device, use file explorer to navigate to the "xdaShutdownSkins" folder and select one of the

.mscr files

.

4)Wait two/three seconds for xdaSutdown to start.

To view or switch to another skin exit xdaShutdown and select a different .mscr file.

The last skin you choose will be the one that comes up when you start xdaShutdown, until you change it.

Now you don't need to be tethered to yor pc to swich skins.
