Lovely skins ... which res do I want 4 my Leo?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DaveShaw:
Good luck, let me know what you find.

Maybe you're not using v1.01. I no longer have the source, so I can't debug until I write and release a new version...

BTW, it's getting there slowly.

Planned in the next version.

I'll see what I can do, in the mean time there's always reshacker :).

Work's for me, might be a forum related problem. I've seen a few reports of such lately. Log out, clear all cookies etc, log back in and try again.

WVGA.

VGA/WVGA Gadget buttons for any background

I made time today to find the slider buttons.

Here they are.View attachment SliderButtons.zip

These are for use on any background.

I have time to make some backgrounds. I'll be back to post.

I'm back. I found some backgrounds that I had.

http://depositfiles.com/files/1fn0h1hja

I think these look good with the buttons.

I placed the matching portrait and landscape backgrounds into folders.

Just open the folder you want and place both .png files into your xdaShutdown folder.

Or use your own background.

@chris5932, the background that you requested is in the folder labeled "Refocused".

Here are screenshots.

Also while searching my files for backgrounds, I found a theme that I had started.

Since I have a couple of hours left, I will complete it a be back again to post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Phonatic:
Windows Vista, Xp, 7 skin for Wvga

Sorry for starting another post, but I need to keep this seperate from the skin above.

Instead of having buttons that slide and light up, these are gonna be backgrounds that have no button press effect.

The background will have press points.

When you press an option, it will only execute the action selected.

This skin was pretty much done, I don't know why I didn't post it before.

Anyway, the concept for this skin was in response to a request for a Windows style shutdown screen.

All the previous windows style shutdown skins have a window with tiny buttons.

My idea was to have big buttons, so I used the Vista user login button, on an XP style skin, with a Windows 7 background.

Sounds kinda mixed up, but I like the way it turned out.

So here it is. View attachment NoButtons.zip

I have an hour left, I will be back again to post.

This will be my last skin for this version.

I will wait for Dave to finish the new version.

I found my template for this skin, along with a few backgrounds.

Dave, I appoligize for the long post.

But I don't have time left to organize these backgrounds into folders.

I'm gonna post these so that they can be right clicked and saved as either background.png or backgroung_ls.png.

They just need to be placed into the xdaShutdown folder of your device, along with the contents of the "NoButtons" folder posted above.

Vista Aero

Carbon

HTC Black

Win XP

Dusk-ish

Wall Switch

UPDATE

Here are some background sets that are made specifically for this skin.

Author can create special version this good application?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DaveShaw:
Thanks LikvidatorMax.

I've added that post to the first page.

The only copy of the code I have at the moment is either for v1.00 or half way been re-written. I will add this shutdown method when I get chance, and send you a tester.

Work's got kinda busy at the moment, but hopefully will settle down soon and give me time to get cracking on the code again.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tilt ommarow:
The skins consist of .png files and an .xml file.

1) Download and unzip the skin that you want .

2) Copy the .png and .xml files into your devices xdashutdown folder.

Let the new files overwrite the existing files.

That's all.

Make sure you use a skin that is made for the resolution of you device.

If the download is a cab file, just execute the cab on your device.

Hope this helps you and others.:)

Looks like Andrew answered while I was slowly typing.:p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tilt ommarow:
@phonatic, WOW:eek::eek::eek:. I just saw some of the additons on post#609.

I'm blown away by the diversity of the different backgrounds for your last skin.

As usual, mucho thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chiks19018:
Awesome effort. Too Good.

I have one suggestion however.

The buttons light up under the finger, which actually makes it moot since one cannot see the light under the finger. The buttons should light up on both ends so that when I press in the middle, the lights show on the end of the button.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] banderas111:
hi everyone. still can not understand how to make separate buttons for shutdown and restart. can anybody help me with that? thanx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Z80-Man:
Hello, Dave, Very nice work you did there !

I should have a request...

Would it be possible to add a "Launch task manager" option ?

I explain why :

A lot of old / badly written programs don't put themselves in background mode if another app is called.

Anything can trigger the problem : pressing the "Home" or "Phone" buttons, an incoming phone call or notification, or, in most case about old QVGA apps, if you accidentally touch the lower part of the screen, which the program doesn't cover.

What happens then is the program screen is not showing, but the touchscreen is still uder its control, so you're stuck without being able to do anything : the task button can't respond either because you actually still touch some part of the hidden running program.

Only a soft reset can get you out of this (alas, too frequent) trap, and thanks to your software (or actually any other soft reset softwate that can be linked to the long power button press), you still can do it without having to remove the pocket PC cover...

So I was wondering if you could add a "task manager" feature, so we could at least shut down or switch back to those badly managed background programs...

What do you think about the idea ? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ArtieQ:
Phonatic, I really like this picture so could you make it for portrait?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DaveShaw:
It will be available in the next version with the "Launch Custom Program option".

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Phonatic:
I'm not surprised that you were the first one to notice the additions.

Thanks for the compliments and you're welcome.

Dude, how fat is your finger? JK:p

The buttons are the work of Gadget.

My mod of the buttons was to only change the color of the press effect, from all green buttons,

to colors, that imho, denote the color of the action executed by the button.

My goal was to keep the integrity of gadgets work.

I feel that the led effect in the middle is more correct to what an actual button would be like.

Placing a light effect on either side will not be an option for me. It just wouldn't look real.

I will however look to emulate a thinner/more reflective button cover or a brighter led bulb effect.

I hope Gadget doesn't mind. Gimme half an hour. I'll be back to post my results.

Gadget Buttons with more light effect.

This is what I came up with to address the concern of the light effect being hidden by your finger when pressed.

View attachment AnyBkgrnd2.zip

This is also adapted to be functional on any background that you may want to use.

This skin is for WVGA, the the buttons will also work for VGA layouts.

Just some backgrounds that I found and a couple that I altered.

UPDATE

This folder View attachment SomeBackgrounds.zip contains backgrounds that I made for this skin.

The backgrounds for portrait and landscape are paired up into folders.

To use them just open a folder and copy the two .png files into your devices xdashutdown folder.

To see previews, of the backgrounds in this download file, see Post #650

For those with a wood theme or background, or anyone that just likes the look of wood,

here's another background that I made for the skin on Post #609.

I found a wooden wallpaper, so I added icons and engraved some logos into the background.

Phonatic, Where did you find that black leather wallpaper? With the HTC green and logo on it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Phonatic:
No waiting required.;) The skin files and various backgrounds are on post #609.

As ArtieQ mentioned, to use the backgrounds just right-click, save as either background.png (for portrait) or background_ls.png (for landscape).

Place the files into your devices xdashutdown folder. Along with the contents of the NoButtons.zip download file.

I'm sure that I found it in one of the wallpaper threads in this forum.

I wish I knew for sure. I tend to save things that I like.

Eventually I find a use for them.

Did you want it posted?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GadgetFreak:
I actually found it in one of those threads tonight. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wiQbold:
i use this one
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Phonatic:
Good job finding it.:)

While I was looking for it in my files I found one that I had made into 800x800.

I am posting it in case you or anyone else is interested.

It can easily be cropped for landscape or Vga use. Or resized and cropped for qvga or wqvga use.

Here's another background for the skin on Post #609
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Phonatic:
Preview pics of backgrounds. See Post #633 for files.

I will update post #633 with a folder containing these backgrounds.

I took some backgrounds that I found and branded them with the HTC text.

These are made as backgrounds for the skin included in that post, just one page back.

Although that skin can use any background, I just decided to provide some that I felt looked especially good with those buttons.

These, of course, can be used as general purpose backgrounds.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Manicmobileaddict:
I really like these buttons also and boy do they look good with the TP2 exterior. As much as I want the HD2 I wish it looked a little sleeker like the TP2 or the blackstone.

Any way I'm really confused now 'cause I don't see buttons on the background image in this file (which really makes more sense to me) so I just want to confirm how to do this.

Sorry, I've been around here for a little while so if I'm not a noob anymore I am still a moron.

I think I just realized something. In the first zip I downloaded was the portrait background made with buttons already in place and the xml is just putting buttons on top in the exact same place?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Phonatic:
I agree about ArtieQ's avatar.:)

Good observations and questions.

This app does not switch backgrounds when rotated.

If you start the app in portrait it uses the portrait background.

To get the lansdscape background start it in landscape.

I use Windows Notepad to open and edit the .xml. Nothing special is required.

Here's how the .png images work.

The left half of the .png is what shows when not pressed. The right half shows when pressed.

Here are some different methods to use the .pngs.

1. Both left and right have images, unpressed and pressed.

No button images are needed on the background.

2. The left half is all fuscia. Fuscia is transparent, so you'll see the background.

This is why the backround has button images. The right side has the the pressed button image.

3. The entire .png image is fuscia. The backgound buttons always show, and there is no pressed effect.

There are a few other combinations, but this should help you to determine how you want to make your skin.

I used a mix of methods on that skin because the original had buttons that had leaky fuscia. For portrait all I did was clean up the fuscia and used my buttons to hide the originals. Anyways I can't recall why I used the methods that I did. Most likely it was to save time, either way that skin works well.

I think you just picked the most confusing skin to analyze.

Yes, you can move the buttons by changing x and y.

I don't recommended it on this skin. The buttons have a nice fake transparent effect. It looks like you can see the background through them. That was accomplished by having the background image on the button.

If you move the buttons they won't be aligned with the backgound image.

You can use your own background, but consider how the buttons are gonna look on top of it.

I hope this helps you and others.:)

With your understanding of .xmls I'm confident that you'll quickly figure it all out.

The version that you describe will look nice. I'm looking forward to when you post it.:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Manicmobileaddict:
That all totally make s sense now. I was planning on going to those later dusk slider inspired buttons. I'll have to look again and see if they had background on them.

I wish I had that multi-colored glass windows logo over the water background. I found another version of it with a blue background. Guess I'll have to learn photoshop or Gimp. I like the glass windows logos with the htc logo incorporated too.

I'd like to find a glossy glassy version of the htc logo too (maybe glossy metallic would be better, love the blue glow lettering). Even thought about putting a sprint logo on it's right side arrow. I have some gold fiery glossy sprint start up animation on my version of wm6.5.3 that I thought would look good if I could find a shot of it. Couldn't find anything I like so far for those two.

Guess I need to incorporate xda in there too 'cause xda rocks!

Any way to get this app on the touch flo slider other than in programs, you know, with its own button (I have an old version of touch flo without the links above the slider, not sure if I can use anything later with my Mogul)?

Any other skinnable apps this cool recommended?

Is there no way to get the Mogul to use the landscape when the keyboard is slid out? I don't really have that much understanding of xml (I was coached at work, but I do remember using Notepad now), but could the xml be edited? Is there a way for the program to know the keyboard was slid out and tell it to switch to the landscape coding? Could the portrait and landscape coding be in the same xml? Am I way off base? Is this way too complicated?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Manicmobileaddict:
I think you want wvga.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Phonatic:
Titanium for WVGA and VGA

After explaining how the .png files work, I thought of a creative way of using them.

I had a couple of hours today. Here is what I came up with. View attachment Titanium.zip

This will make any background look like the Titanium Homescreen.

Due to white fonts, this looks better on darker backgrounds.

Just place your background labeled background.png into your xdaShutdown folder, along with the files in the folder posted above.

For landsape use background_ls.png.

Currently landscape uses the same layout and button effects as portrait.

Here are screenshots with five sample backgrounds that I put together.

The girl in the bikini is just there to catch your attention.:) I added the Sprint logo cuz it went well with her bikini and skin tone.

The first pic is with no buttons pressed.

The other five pics show the press effects.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tilt ommarow:
@phonatic, I'm glad I can help you for once.

Thanks for all the help you've given me.:D

xda shutdown on today screen

Can xda shutdown be a choice on the titanium today screen? I don't suppose that magnifier slides on that version. Both would be cool though.

Still hoping I can get a qvga version of those last buttons gadget made that phonatic put in the any background version unless I can just use those on a qvga backgroun with a qvga xml.

I downloaded xmlgui today. Can I use that doing this?

Is the xml just the layout? Is there more behind this program? I'm not a computer guy, but would love to learn more. Any chance a button can be a link to another app function like lock in S2U2?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dharvey4651:
Did you seriously just quote that ENTIRE post with ALLLLL those pictures just to type 19 words? you could have just quoted one picture or just the text and the user reading your post would have gotten the drift of what you were trying to quote.

Oh and no it's not compatible with QVGA.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Manicmobileaddict:
Sorry, I didn't know I could do that. That's what I really wanted to do, but the choice of buttons didn't seem to fit. Now I'm thinking after I hit the quote button I could have deleted some of what it put in the text box.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dharvey4651:
Hehe it's all good. Now you know. :p

It's actually not impossible to make that theme compatible with QVGA. It's just some image editing and xml editing.

If you're at all familiar with photoshop you can scale back the images quite easily and the xml can be edited easily as well using notepad on your pc.

Connect your device to activesync and just copy the files to your device, replacing the existing ones. Start the app. Get a visual of what you're working with and then make more adjustments. It won't be perfect right off the bat but you'll get it all looking good after a couple of trys.

Good luck!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Manicmobileaddict:
I went ahead and edited that post to make it shorter. I've never used photoshop. I downloaded gimp and some files and instructions to make it more like photoshop, but never learned it. I've been looking at the xml (I understand a little about it) hoping I could find a way to actually get the landscape arrangement by sliding out my keyboard, but I'm thinking there's at least 3 xmls (layout, set up and xsd?) and who knows what else that actually make this app work. I may be off track, but what I do know for sure is it's over my head. I have no problem transferring files. I've reskinned it once. I'm hoping xmlgui might be something I can use to resize images. I just downloaded it. I'm not a computer guy. Most of what I've learned about computers is from playing with my Mogul and sites like this and sprintmogul.net. Still hoping for a lights out button like that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dharvey4651:
I'll see what I can do about redoing the skin for you to QVGA. Fortunately I have an old wizard I can use as a testing device that I can try to re-scale the skin on.

EDIT:: I managed to resize his skin for QVGA in both portrait and landscape modes. I repositioned the logo on the default wallpaper a bit to better fit with the placement of the buttons on the QVGA screen as well. I Hope the author of the original theme doesn't mind..(ALL CREDITS GO TO gadget! FOR HIS ORIGINAL SKIN!)
