Hi Astronout,

Thank you for your work, it's great. I am using OBlue now. Is it possible to have an option for having sender's name on each baloon?
[Windows Mobile Themes] acc49ers:
Open your thread_sms.htm file with notepad and delete this "<Inbox:From class="SenderName">

<Inbox:content id="FROM" class="SenderName" advancefocusedlink />

</Inbox:From>"

I deleted it and now my name doesn't show up.

Does anyone know how to delete my picture too? I only want the "To" pic to show up.

edit: ok nevermind. When I delete the lines above some messages have only my name and some only have the senders name. How do you fix this?
[Windows Mobile Themes] jongzizi:
Thanks 4 yr skin

But when I install OBlue, the font is very small like this. How to make it larger?:confused:

My ROM: COM5 6.5.3 QVGA.
[Windows Mobile Themes] thepolishguy:
Fashion Captain- Just wanted to say thank you. I think the update to your first post is really top notch. I also am thankful for the "OldBlue Skin". Haven't got a chance to take it for a test run- but I will. Also just wanted to ask- a lot of folks do mods to your work and then post it- does that bother you?
[Windows Mobile Themes] doug107hk:
Hi mintishhippo,

Could you have a cab file for install your up-dated shin in one step, please?

[Windows Mobile Themes] fetrawandy:
Great..!!

Nice.. work on my Atom with 6.5 build 21869....

[Windows Mobile Themes] mintishhippo:
Nice work, for all other since not much of it is my design (apple made the bubbles and astronaut made the code) I dont realy mind any kind of modifications. Do with it what you wish :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] thepolishguy:
possible?

Is it possible to edit the iframe_style in the latest Win7.615 so that the senders name is located on the far right and the inbound names stay on the far left? If it is, which portion do I edit to accomplish that?
[Windows Mobile Themes] rfarrah:
Works great - really like the new one. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] sioppao:
help please, sorry if this has been answered previously. i am only successful in skinning the top portion.

see screenshot.

im using an i8000 with a SonBlack ROM (latest 6.5). i was able to skin ok with other ROMs.

appreciate it

EDIT: got my answer in the first page. :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] bmw2320:
Which one work for u? Could I use apple-style on my Rhodium wm6.5? TIA
[Windows Mobile Themes] O.a.T.:
Interesting you should ask. Although the apple style says it does not work on 6.1/6.5, I installed a version from the thread on my Diamond/CDMA with 6.5 a while back and it seems to work fine. I'd suggest giving it a go, and reporting back on what happens. If it doesn't work, you can always install one of the versions that do reportedly work on 6.1/6.5
[Windows Mobile Themes] Daranus:
i am still waiting for the new theme to be released for wm 6.1....pleeeease dude :(

or could you at least tell me an ETA?..then i would not have to look here every second :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] howdy29:
Not sure what caused the issue, but since I have this installed and obviously people in here are messing with the SMS functionality I figured I would ask in here...

I installed one of these skins and an app to prevent the Sense SMS app from opening. All was working for a few days. Yesterday I noticed now I can not open a SMS message from the WM inbox (the one using these skins). I uninstalled the SMS blocking app and can open the message string within that app. However when I go into the mailbox and try to click on a message (string) it "goes out to lunch". The X at the top changes to OK and does nothing. The registry key allowing message threads is set to 0 (disable = 0). This skin is also installed.

Anyone seen this issue before? I have a TP2 with standard TMo 6.5 ROM.

hi,ive installed the ninja cab as well as the mintishoppe cab on my omnia II...but it doesnt seem to work. Can anyone help me pls....really appreciate if anyone could assist me in this...

i'm running on winmo 6.5 CE OS 5.2.21889...

[Windows Mobile Themes] 1107963:
I had something similar on my Omnia i910 but this happened because I was trying to edit the thread_sms.htm trying to delete your own phone number from the top... and even replacing the original file and doing a soft reset it would open the inbox but not the messages it just load bur not be able to see the message....

Fix for me: I had to do a hard reset...

Oblue Mod for 6.1.5

Well here is my attempt at OBlue. A little modified bc I like chat bubbles. To use this you would first have to install the Win7 for 6.1.5 Then you would unzip the files here, and place them in your Windows directory on your phone with Total Commander. Unless The Fashion Captain will make a .cab (if anyone wants it.)

****edit****

I made a few more mods to the color of the font. Also- I made this for 615 so if you are using 653 the time and date stamp will be all messed up, take up two lines and look crumby. And I am not sure how to fix that problem in 653 since I am using 6.5. My device is WVGA- so i don't know what will happen on other resolutions. Works good in portrait. Still trying to figure out landscape (if anyone can help me that would be great.
[Windows Mobile Themes] rfarrah:
The new Oblue worked great for a couple days and then the font shrunk to extra-small for some reason and now it's almost un-readable. Is there a fix or tweak for this? thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] howdy29:
Figured I might have to do that. I will live with Sense SMS for now. Thanks.

mms issues

i am unable to view mms using the manila skin. I can see all messages but when i want to view a picture that came with the message...there is no picture box to open.

anyone experiencing this?
[Windows Mobile Themes] burnblue:
Nice work!

Greedy request: A dark, all-black theme with blue highlights, maybe white text.
[Windows Mobile Themes] thepolishguy:
6.5 PLEASE!!!

Did i say "6.5 PLEASE!!!" already?

****EDIT****

went ahead and loaded it up on my 6.5 Imagio (Whitestone). SO far so good. Havent got a lot of text messages yet. so i will report back for all you 6.5 users.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tropical cactus:
+1+date+time, please, fashion captain.:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] Astronout:
Uh, well, I don't use MMS so I haven't tested that :rolleyes:. Chances are that the skin could inlfuence MMS (e-mail is affected too). I'll have a look at it.

Hurray!

By popular demand and a lot of public pressure, I released a first version of the Windows 7 theme for the older builds (WM6.1 and 6.5.0) today. If you have the start menu at the top left, you can now enjoy the Windows 7 skin as well! Download v0.7.615. (always check the first post for the latest version)

And do tell me when I mess up your device, I like messing up stuff :D

Chs!
[Windows Mobile Themes] shad0w77:
when using the manila skin in 6.5.X, I get the dual scrollbar and the reply field is behind the bottom menu bar....
[Windows Mobile Themes] NateReal:
reallllly can't wait till you make the manila version of this for us "start menu on the top left" users.

keep working on these themes. they look amazing. hoping for more realll soon.
[Windows Mobile Themes] herbiehskr2:
issue

Having the same issue. I adujusted my text size to the middle. Still same issue. Very nice look though, great work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] emd2009:
Anyone know why i am getting this error?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Astronout:
Well, add some preferences to your system :cool:

I think you mean system permissions ? If so, then you're probably not running a custom rom I suppose?

Anyhow, the most plausible solution is to install sdkcerts. Allow me to google that for you: here

Why? My themes (i.e. most stuff around at xda) modify the system files, which under normal circumstances is not allowed for obvious reasons. Installing the

S

oftware

D

eveloper

K

Cert

ificate

s

(sdkcerts) conveniently removes this limitation. No worries though, accidentally deleting system files is effectively not possible.

Hope this helps!

For those of you having troubles with the second scrollbar, would you mind posting a screenshot?

[Windows Mobile Themes] ninja4hire:
Just installed right now. Getting double scroll bar and broken chat box. I'm sure the chat box is just a font size issue tho.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tropical cactus:
broken chat box only, but looking groovy.:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] Astronout:
For those of you with the Windows 7 theme and WM 6.1 or old 6.5: new version here! (v0.75.615).

This addresses (and hopefully fixes) the double scrollbar issues and whitespace below the name/date. I am still puzzled about the broken reply-chat-box, for I can't reproduce it :confused:

At least it keeps me off the streets :p

Hit me!
[Windows Mobile Themes] WarRaven:
Hey nice work :)

Works on LG IQ quite well.

Thank you very much, ill be sending more testers 8)

[Windows Mobile Themes] thepolishguy:

What about the double scrollbar on HTC Style with winmo 6.5? Come on- don't throw me under the bus:(
[Windows Mobile Themes] chris1486:
Thanks for the release, testing it on 6.1 today will reply tomorrow about the stability and issues, if any.
[Windows Mobile Themes] adioph:
thanks, i like it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] -Arturo-:
Yes I confirm MMS aren't displayed correctly.

[Windows Mobile Themes] Elecjunky:
How can I change the color of the bubbles in the iphone skin? I love the skin just wondering how I can customize to my phone. If possible can we get a zip of different colors for this skin like Ninja did for his skin. Thanks for all your hard work in advance.
[Windows Mobile Themes] 1107963:
Have you check under settings - system - screen - text size maybe thers the problem...
[Windows Mobile Themes] rfarrah:
Yup, it is already set to "largest".
[Windows Mobile Themes] thepolishguy:
You can try editing the "iframe_style.css". Make sure the SMS is not running in the background. Use Total Commander (or which ever one you want). Use the "find" option. Search for "iframe_style". SHould find it for you in the Windows directory. Use the "edit" option. I think you will be looking for this portion to edit...

div.read, div.unread {
font-size:10% !important;
display:block !important;
color: #000;
font-weight: normal;
background: none;
padding: 2px 10px 12px 10px;

Where it says "font-size: 10%" -try editing that and change it to 30%. Save your changes. Check your text. If there is no difference than I am totally wrong and you can change it back to 10%. Sorry, I am not using 6.5.3 or I could tell you better.
[Windows Mobile Themes] doug107hk:
Hi maisonpulaski,

I have problem with the date in the bubbles. How can I correct it? Thanks for your help. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] rfarrah:
I messed around with that last night, but couldn't get anything to change. I really don't know what I'm doing so I wasn't too surprised. Thanks for trying. Maybe Astronout or one of the other developers will point me in the right direction or tell me what I'm doing wrong. :o
[Windows Mobile Themes] Uppy:
You need a cab manager/ creator like quickcab (use the search function up in the top right) and an image editor like paint.net, photoshop etc extract the images (as mostly pngs, 1 gif and 1 jpeg) just edit the images however you like, then replace them in the original cab. save and viola, customized skin.
[Windows Mobile Themes] blamaster:
How can i overwrite the protected css files manually ?

thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] thepolishguy:
Yes- very sorry about that. I have no date stamp. But here is what I am pretty sure you will have to do. Open Total Commander. Press "File". Press "Find Files". Enter "iframe_style". Press "ok". Highlight "Windows\iframe_style.css" by tapping on it. Press "File". Press ">>>>>>". Press "Edit". You will need to edit this portion of code...

a.in:link, a.in:visited,
font-size:12px;
font-weight: bold !important;
display:block;
width:215px;
padding:7px 0 10px 80px;
margin-top: 7px;

Where it says "padding:7px 0 10px 80px" - you will want to change 80px to 20 or 25 or 30. You can play with the number. Oh- and I am not sure it will say 80px but that 4th number definately needs to decrease.
[Windows Mobile Themes] thepolishguy:
Have you heard of Total Commander or do you have it? It is a free program for your phone. If you Google it you should be able to find a download. Are you wanting to edit the "ifram_style.css" that is part of the .cab? Or are you just needing to replace the original .css file with the one provided here?
[Windows Mobile Themes] blamaster:
I just needing to replace the original .css file with my own.
[Windows Mobile Themes] thepolishguy:
OK. Using Active Sync or Windows Mobile Device Center place your modified .css file on your phone (if it is not already there). Make sure tmail.exe is closed (make sure your sms is not running in the background). Open Total Commander. Navigate to your modified file. Tap on it to highlight it. Tap "File" at the bottom. Tap "Copy/Move". Tap "Tree". Tap the "Windows" folder to highlight it. Tap "OK" at the bottom of the page. Tap "Copy". Total Commander will issue you a warning that the file already exists and then give you some options. Tap "Overwrite All". I think that should do it. I have done it at least 20 times now.

[Windows Mobile Themes] ky_guy:
need help from experts here pls....

hi everyone, im very interested in this sms ui but ive tried follow every step here and it seems can't get it to work on my O2. I've unzip the file and copy it to my storage. Then i use resco explorer to move the .css file to windows directory and overwrite the existing file but it still couldn't work. Must i copy all the files from the zip file or just the css? caused i tried copy everything inside the zip file to window it still doesn't work.

Currently i'm on

PDA : JA5

CSC : SOJA5

PHONE : JA3

CE OS 5.2.21889. Winmo 6.5

Please help me experts here.........i would really appreciate the guidance and help needed here. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] thepolishguy:
I have got to work all day today. But I will try and take a look and see what I can figure out. Your device is running 6.5.3? right? Because I am running 6.5 and have no date (just time). Of course I don't know if that is determined by the WinMo version or the sms skin version. Which skin file are you using? 615 or 653?

If anyone knows about adjusting the position of the date- please feel free to share with us.
[Windows Mobile Themes] rfarrah:
....AND what to change to increase text size. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] thepolishguy:
Well, please tell me which version you are using bc the iframe_style.css is different for 615 and 653

body
{
margin: 0 0 0 0 !important;
font-family: Tahoma !important;
font-size: 9pt !important;
font-weight: normal !important;
wrap-option: emergency;
}

In 615 this portion of code is at the very top of the file. If you change "font-size: 9pt" you should get a larger or smaller font. Change the 9 of course;)

In 653...

body {
margin: 0px !important;
font-family: Tahoma !important;
font-size-adjust:none !important;
font-size: 10% !important;
color: menutext;
}

At the very top of the file, delete the entire line, "font-size-adjust:none !important" and then about half way down the file...

}
div.read, div.unread {
font-size:10% !important;
display:block !important;
color: #000;
font-weight: normal;
background: none;
padding: 2px 10px 12px 10px;
}

change "font-size:10%" so it says instead, "font-size: 10pt" or 11pt, or 12pt etc.

I am still working on the date thing. The Fashion Captain would know for sure. Please help us Fashion Captain.

I know this is a stupid question- but did you just try installing the.cab for .615? You know- download the .cab and then just double click it to install. You need all the files in the .cab so i am not sure what you are unzipping and moving unless you are trying to do modifications to a current installation?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Deltatristar500:
Sweet work, I have been waiting for an iphone style skin for the windows SMS/MMS interface. I still get the HTC SMS windows when clicking the message from the manila screen. Is there a way to fix this? I have follows the steps in the first post. Im on the NRG 21891 ROM with Sprint HTC touch Pro.
[Windows Mobile Themes] doug107hk:
Hi maisonpulaski,

I am using wm6.5.3. My sms skin version is 653. One more question. Can your skin work for landscape? Thanks:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] thepolishguy:
Ok- so here is the problem. The skin I made is for the Win7 615. First I installed Win7 615. Then I just modified the .css file and images bc I liked the way oblue looked. If you have installed Oblue for 653 your "thread_sms" is calling for all .png images where as mine is calling for .png's, .jpeg, and .gif. And I am realoly not that good at this in the first place. If you want to use the modifications I made- the easiest way for me to help you is for you to use the same files as me. If you don't want to do that- that is totally understandable- but like i said- I am not that good at doing this and I get confused trying to keep all the different files strait in my head. Sorry
[Windows Mobile Themes] Carlovn:
inbox possible?

Hey astronout,

Really a great app! I still can't understand why WM haven't improved this already.

Is it possible to let this apply for the inbox screen also? Would be really great!

Keep up the good work!

Grtz
[Windows Mobile Themes] nsane:
Wanted to compliment the author for a great idea.

And I would also like to request that the skinning is extended to:

1) the Inbox

2) Email.

Thanks so much and please don't let this project die.

Thanks again
[Windows Mobile Themes] Deltatristar500:
Im on the same vote, I can get the darn HTC messeging to go away when I click on a message in manila. I always have to go to "all messages"
[Windows Mobile Themes] doug107hk:
Thank you for your reply. I can use the other skin like iPhone one. If you have time, may you change it to OBlue color.

MMS Not Working

I can confirm this. Once installing the iPhone cab, MMS stopped working for me too.

EDIT:

The message shows up with the iPhone cab installed...as a blank message (nothing in the bubble), but the MMS attachment is not accessible

I uninstall the cab, soft reset, go back to WM Messaging. The message is there and the MMS attachment is accessible.

Conclusion: Appears to be a BUG: MMS does not work with iPhone cab
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
Same setting worked for me...

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] 1sae:
My Skin.

Ya the iPhone cab was full of issues for me on my Touch Pro. Double scroll bars, date falling out of the bubble on landscape, the bubble size moving all over the place misaligning the text, and of course the MMS issue I stated before.

Conclusion...I reworked the files (Alignment, MMS, bubble size all fixed.), and edited the images to my liking. Feel free to give it a try.
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
tried this for the tp2..had half cutt off. :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] 1sae:
Ouch. Like I said, I'm on a touch pro. Not sure what could have caused that, the fact that I'm vga and you're wvga? What version of WM are you one? I've only tested with 6.5.x. Can you post a pic and I'll see if I can figure it out.
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
version 6.1..like the colors of the balloons
[Windows Mobile Themes] thepolishguy:
I am using the Win7 615 skin and doing mods to it so it looks like Oblue. So first thing you can do- download Win7 615 and see if it works on your phone. If it does- then add all the files from post #378. And check back for updates at post #378 because I will continue to change things- but I don't want to take over The Fashion Captain's thread.
[Windows Mobile Themes] rfarrah:
I noticed that although my other issue was fixed, the default font for my regular EMAIL is in miniature. Anybody know the reg settings to make that bigger (the settings in the application View> Text Size> Largest do not change anything).

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
[Windows Mobile Themes] doug107hk:
Thanks maisonpulaski but result is like this:-

[Windows Mobile Themes] comclusive:
I wish I could get this to work. I have disabled HTC threaded, enabled WinMo threaded and installed the win 7, oblue and iphone style and none work. I am using [2-22][ROM]TPC v6.1 build 23540|2.5 2012 Hybrid with Ereader/Swype KB/Slacker Radio but also tried with Ark's ROM.

All I get is the loss of the HTC threaded style and I get all sms messages in one chronological order, no threads. If I uninstall the HTC disable cab, I get the threaded look back but never get any of the skins. :confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] hefman:
Your screenshot either shows the full inbox (which, of course, would not be "threaded") or you don't have threading enabled for the WM client. I can't tell, because you have all the recipients blacked out. Anyway, the setting to enable this can be found at Start>Settings>System>SMS Threading.
[Windows Mobile Themes] thepolishguy:
I sent you a pm so we don't have to clutter up this thread (anymore than we already have [sorry guys ;)])
[Windows Mobile Themes] 1sae:
Well you might be able to use one of the cabs from either Astronout's Windows 7 or Ninja4Hire's Black Ninja for the files, and use my bubbles. (you may have to rename them). Hopefully they align ok. Give it a shot shouldn't be too hard to swap out.
[Windows Mobile Themes] titovramirezb:
very good these skin... excellent...

some photos of contacts no shows

how I do?

or is a bug?
