Well the reason the graphic looks like that is not a flaw in the code, it's a flaw in internet explorer. What it's doing is ignoring the coded text size and forcing it larger than it's meant to be. I believe you can change the font size to naturally be larger (which won't break the bubbles) by manipulating the iframe_style.css. I believe the code you want to change is here:

div.read, div.unread{
display:block;
font-weight: normal;
[COLOR="Red"]font-size: 8pt[/COLOR] !important;
padding: 4px 10px 12px 10px;
width:100%;

The red is where it should be changed to 10pt or something like that.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Peaster111:
I've also similarity updated the Ninja Skin.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Small glitch found... one line of code was off causing emails to have a black background as well. All fixed :)

The new cab is Rev. 1
[Windows Mobile Themes] rfarrah:
Thanks! I'll play around with that today.
[Windows Mobile Themes] 1107963:
For what I read in the bottom of your Message where it says that you have an HTC Device this and windows mobile 6.5.5 this would be for .615 or .653.. I would appreciate if you could specify for which Version is this Skin.
[Windows Mobile Themes] rfarrah:
I'm having trouble saving the revised file. How do you do it? Also, if I wanted to change the font color to white, can you tell me which part of the style sheet covers that?

On the off chance I manage to create something workable, how do you cab that up?

Sorry for so many questions..... :)

I greatly appreciate the expert advice.
[Windows Mobile Themes] 1sae:
to save I use a program called Total Commander, and you should have the sdkcerts.cab installed.

color would be the same section as font size, just add a like called color, and you can give a basic color, or html color (ie. #fff).

For cab creating I like a program called wince cab manager. There are others that are free, or you can do it manually, but I don't know how.

I'm posting again. I LOVE the skins, but I find the top bar very useless, esp. on my small QVGA screen. Is there any way to remove it?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Peaster111:
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by .6xx? Assuming you mean the build version they are good for 6.5.1+ (23xxx series builds or higher only)
[Windows Mobile Themes] 1sae:
You'll have to edit the thread_sms.htm file. Specificly, you'll have to remove something that looks like this:

<div id="xtrasendercontainerid" class="xtrasendercontainer">
<table class="xtrasender">
<tr><td class='xtrasendername'>
<Inbox:From class="SenderName">
<Inbox:content id="FROM" class="SenderName" advancefocusedlink />
</Inbox:From>
<Inbox:To class="SenderName">
<Inbox:content id="TO" class="SenderName" />
</Inbox:To>
Conversation
</td><td width='30'>
<Inbox:SenderPic>
<Inbox:content id="SENDERPIC"/>
</Inbox:SenderPic>
</td></tr>
</table>
</div>

It may vary depending on the skin you're using. But once you do, depending on the skin you use, you may not have any info on who you're texting with.

Remember that if you don't make the file attributes to read only, system, and hidden when you're done, sms won't open.
[Windows Mobile Themes] 1sae:
Here you go.
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
Thanks for posting this 1sae. This worked great to revert the latest Energy ROM to default WM skin.

I don't mind the new skins, but with the new skin applied, I can't tell which messages have been selected when selecting several messages to move/delete. Hopefully somebody is working to fix that.
[Windows Mobile Themes] serveradmnstrtr:
Thank you, works like a charm and I much prefer this as it takes up less space and looks cleaner to me than the default in EnergyRom.

Thanks again,

[Windows Mobile Themes] cyanide911:
So my thread_sms file has:

</Inbox:To></td>

</tr>
</table>
</div>

<Inbox:ThreadIFrame>
<Inbox:content id="THREADIFRAME" links />
</Inbox:ThreadIFrame>

<div id="composecontainerid" class="composecontainer">
<table class="bottombar"><tr><td>

</Inbox:ComposeSubject></td>
<td class="topbarsenderpic" valign="center"><Inbox:SenderPic>
<Inbox:content id="SENDERPIC"/>
</Inbox:SenderPic></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

</body>
</html>

I suppose I have to remove this:

<div id="topbarid" class="topbar">
<table class="topbar">
<tr>
<td class="topbar">Conversation<Inbox:From class="SenderName">
<Inbox:content id="FROM" class="SenderName" advancefocusedlink />
</Inbox:From>
<Inbox:To class="SenderName">
<Inbox:content id="TO" class="SenderName" advancefocusedlink />
</Inbox:To></td>

</tr>
</table>
</div>

Right? I'll try and report back.

EDIT: Okay, after making the above changes, this is the result:

Notice the enlarged whitespace below the typing area.

How do I fix this now?
[Windows Mobile Themes] 1sae:
Yup looks right. BTW which skin are you using ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] cyanide911:
Both the skin and top bar skin from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=626188

Also, check my last post for the results. Doesn't work as expected.
[Windows Mobile Themes] 1sae:
Humm...that's odd. There must be something in your code that's forcing the Iframe size. In your thread_style.css file does your code look like this:

Iframe {
margin: 0px;
border: 0px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
width: 100%;
}

Aside from that I'd look at the 'threadbottom' code (thread_style.css), and change your 'COMPOSESUBJECT' (thread_sms.htm) to lower the height.
[Windows Mobile Themes] hizhonor:
Nicely done! I've just downloaded this version for my Samsung Epix running Trashcan's 6.5 upgrade and running RealVGA and it looks great! No double scroll bars, no split bubbles, good colors. It just works!

I'll play with it for a while to make sure things are as they should but I'm very pleased.

Thanks,

Steve
[Windows Mobile Themes] Peaster111:
I'm glad its working good for you. "It just works" is exactly what I was after. Thanks for the feedback.
[Windows Mobile Themes] hizhonor:
After a bit more testing, while "it just works" is still true relative to the messaging application, the black background carries over into the e-mail application making it difficult to read mail.

I switched to your iphone version --- also nicely done --- and my problems with e-mail messages are gone. Must have something to do with the white background used. I seem to recall seeing discussion earlier in this thread about this, so I need to go back and do some research. I prefer the look and color choices of the ninja version better.

Steve
[Windows Mobile Themes] cyanide911:
The iframe code is identicle. The threadbottom code is

#threadbottom {
height: 84px;
float: left;
position: absolute;
}

I'll change the height to something lower.
[Windows Mobile Themes] 1sae:
Try changing the threadbottom height to something quite smaller to test if that's the issue (like 40 or something). That may give you the double scrollbar issue, but let's just use it for testing. Also do the same with your COMPOSESUBJECT change that to 20 or something. Post an image or pm it to me. If you want I can take a look to see what I can do with your files if you send them to me.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Peaster111:
Good catch.. one line of code off. I put the background color on the wrong line. I've updated the original post (Ninja Rev1) with this fix.

Thanks for the feedback.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Is there any chance to add the contact picture in the topbar of the Ninja skin?:p
[Windows Mobile Themes] hizhonor:
That's the ticket!

Just installed your adjusted version and it looks great --- and a proper white background in e-mail.

As a work around, I had adjusted the background color to a buff in iframe_style.css per other discussions here in this thread so I could see my mail, but no more.

I need to take a closer look at the "one line off". This stuff just fascinates me.

Thanks!

QVGA Non Touchscreen

So does this work with QVGA (Non Touchscreen)? Places online say it does and here it says it doesn't but I did try it on my HTC Ozone QVGA (non touchscreen) and got no results, nothing happened at all....
[Windows Mobile Themes] rfarrah:
I've noticed that on long texts that I get from my bank, part of the top of the message is cut off. Like I said, it only happens on long messages.

[Windows Mobile Themes] 1107963:
What I mean is if this work for the windows mobile 6.5 or 6.5.X since I have an 6.5 with the start button on top... and I would like to use it... on my Omnia i910.....
[Windows Mobile Themes] Peaster111:
Adding the contact picture correctly took a bit of effort. I wanted to keep the "code" small and eliminate any potential "graphic lag". I couldn't find any code that satisfied both parameters well enough, so I ending writing my own.

I didn't take any screen shots, because they look like the first versions I rewrote. Those versions can be found in this thread HERE or I have all of them in my thread HERE. The only difference is that the contact names are on the left and the contact pic is on the right.

It reads the last person that replied when opening and uses the pic of that contact, if found... otherwise it'll be blank.

Attached are the iPhone and Ninja versions.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Peaster111:
... I see now. The versions I made are good for 6.5.x (No start button on top). I could attempt to revise those, but I can't test them.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Peaster111:
The fix depends on your WM OS version.

On pre-6.5.x (start on top), OS's using the text graphic (or bubbles) is a bit tricky, as the graphic is one piece.

On 6.5.x OS's, the graphic is two pieces. The skins I've redone extended the bottom half to cover large text messages.

I'm not so sure how you can effectively account for that on the pre-6.5.x builds without making a really big bubble. It might bog down opening up the text message or skew the graphic when WinMo scales it down it fit "small" messages.
[Windows Mobile Themes] rfarrah:
I'm running 6.5.3 (28223). I'm using my own modified version - can you show me the applicable code? Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Peaster111:
Cool.. your in business. It's not code though. The CSS Code only really intended to position the graphics. WM dynamically re-sizes the graphic. While you can use the CSS code to constrain the size, you cannot enlarge it. Its better to let WM do the "heavy lifting" and leave the CSS code to just positioning. It works well in 6.5.x versions.

I've attached one of my graphics for an example. I'm using a file size of 225 x 450 for VGA. When enlarging your graphic, don't change the width just the height.
[Windows Mobile Themes] rfarrah:
I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

Keyboard

Love these skins. Does anyone else totally hate that when you open a text that the keyboard auto deploys and then minimizes itself? I don't know if yours does that- but mine did and I found a registry edit that fixed it.

Use at own risk. Works great for me.

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=100760&page=26

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip
"TurnOffAutoDeploy"=dword:00000000

Change the dword to 1 if you would like
it to not automatically pop up

I actually did not have this setting in my registry so there were some more instructions...

Use PHM registry editor (or any reg edit- instructions may vary slightly on different reg edit)

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip

Then click "Edit". Select "New DWORD Value".
Then under "Value name:", type in "TurnOffAutoDeploy"
(without the "").
Then under "Value data:" enter "1" (without the "").
Soft reset and no more auto deploy.
If you want to change it back just set the
value at 0000000.

remember- this affects every program -not just text messaging. So if you like your keyboard to automatically pop up -don't do this.

Correct the skins I rewrote are for 6.5.x only.

The code is in the "iframe_style.css" file.

The line of code is: "background-color: #000 !important;"

Originally it was in the "body" section. Moving it to "body.thread" was the fix.

Smilies

are we able to add smiley support by adding if statements to the css file. So it would search for a certain character and display a picture if it existed?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Peaster111:
Thanks for posting a picture of your issue. That helps tremendously. Three things I can see. (1) Your running 6.5.x (2) The SW installed (3) you still have the original message threading format.

The issue is that your not reading the new "iframe_thread.css" file.

I guessing you are not on AT&T. I read a few posts back about someone who had a different file name stored in their registry.

I've attached a cab with the correct reg entries. Installed it and reboot. Hopefully you'll be all set.

[Windows Mobile Themes] virtual_law:
Okay I tried three Skins (windows 7, iphone, and Blue) and while they're all terrific, I've had gripes (although I may be nitpicking here) with all.

1) The text within each conversation box is painfully small. Right now I'm on the windows 7 skin, is there any way to enlarge it?

2) The INBOX is exactly the same. Its only when you select a conversation that the skin applies, showing the various texts in bubbles, etc. Any way to alter the layout of the INBOX itself?

But I have to say, the layout is MILESSSSSS better than what it was previously. LOVE the windows 7 skin. If only the text was bigger, it'd be PERRRFECt

[Windows Mobile Themes] eddyve:
Looks great, but...

This is looking so good that you forget about the new HTC messaging at all and not only because it is so slow. However, I tried to install on my Blackstone with the 23554 energy rom (6.5.5 rom, start on bottom left), but it didn't change anything. This rom is without HTC messaging and SMS is threaded. I installed the 6.5.+ versions (3 in total) without luck.

Any idea?
[Windows Mobile Themes] rfarrah:
You can change the size of the text in the boxes. Maisonpulaski helped me with this at post #401:

Code:

body

{

margin: 0 0 0 0 !important;

font-family: Tahoma !important;

font-size: 9pt !important;

font-weight: normal !important;

wrap-option: emergency;

}

Change that font size and it should make the text larger.

Here is my iframestyle.css in a zip format, if you'd like to try it. You'll have to unzip it and copy it to your windows folder, replacing the existing one (or you can simply rename the old one in case you want to go back). My background color is different (red) and my incoming allows for longer text messages. No guarantees this works on anybody else's device, but it works great on my Omnia i910.
