I don't understand, with this files : ??

read_style.css

Or other ??

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] Uppy:
This doesnt change the inbox, it changed the threaded messages..
[Windows Mobile Themes] copterkill:
I know that can't change the inbox! but I wonder how I can change!
[Windows Mobile Themes] copterkill:
Please help me! It's important! :(

AS I have been reading this thread it is stated that that mod cant be done yet.

ok thank you ...
[Windows Mobile Themes] brilock42:
Help please.

I tried the Astronaut win7 for about a week and absolutly loved it.

But yesterday i decided to try the ninja one...

my start/taskbar are on the top so the cab appeared to be the wrong number but in the screenshot at top of thread it looks same as on my phone (omnia 910) so i figured id give it a try.

everything looks fine and works amazingly except the text is black instead of white and so i cant read it on the blue bubbles without highlighting. is there any easy way to change the text color for just sms? a friend said to check in registry. but im not great with reg edits, and not very good with css.:confused:

I am not trying to be mean but most people get mad when we do not try to find the answer by our own means.

Je ne veux pas être méchant mais la plupart des gens s'énervent quand on ne cherche pas à trouver la réponse par nos propres moyens.
[Windows Mobile Themes] 1107963:

Anyone know how to change date format, my current one has (9/2), i'd like something like 2/9 or Feb-9. I've looked at thread_sms.htm and thread_style.css but couldn't find nothing for dates.

My regional setting for dates are:

short: 12-Feb-10 that's how it shows on emails

Thanx...

I hope Mintishhippo doesnt mind but I took the liberty to port his iPhone skin to 615

download it here

-edit- if the unknown contact image doesnt display correctly (ie: cut off on the left) either open css and change the topbar padding to 5px or use this updated version
[Windows Mobile Themes] jbourne47:
thanks alot its nice theme, I really like it
[Windows Mobile Themes] slovenec88:
Thank you very much. I use this Astronout Manila SMS Skin v0.80.653 on my Omnia 6.5.1 rom and it is working perfectly! Nice job!

[Windows Mobile Themes] Rynsuloth:
sorry if already asked: does the Ninja4Hire SMS Skin v0.79.653.cab work with startmenu on top left as it is a 653.?

i have win 6.1
[Windows Mobile Themes] thepolishguy:
Hey bro- if you want someone to help you- then you got to give them something to work with. "Please help me." What does that mean exactly? What device do you have? Are you using a custom ROM or a stock ROM? Are you running 6.5.3? Are you running 6.5, 6.1? Which version did you download? Do you use TouchFlo3D, Titanium, or another today plugin? What problem are you experiencing exactly? People here seem pretty helpful- but they can't diagnose your problem without any information to work with.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ninja4hire:
Yes, its actually made for 6.1 and 6.5 not 6.5.3
[Windows Mobile Themes] 1107963:
Sir.. Could you please be so kind of to port the the Astronout Blur SMS Skin v0.80.653.cab to the .615.. since I do like it and I would like to use it.. im using your .615 iPhone 1st version and is working fine... im going to install the update now.. Thanks...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rynsuloth:
thank you, will install it :)

btw on the pictures the sms text seems a bit large, is there a possibility to resize it? and how can i adjust the background color from black to a very dark grey for example.

what are the values for these two and in which file are they?
[Windows Mobile Themes] enyaj:
is this for native windows messaging client? not hTC messaging?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Uppy:
This one looks a bit harder but i'll try my best.
[Windows Mobile Themes] thepolishguy:
Yes- native windows. Not HTC.
[Windows Mobile Themes] thepolishguy:
Ok this picture is at the bottom of post #1. But i don't see anywhere to download it? where do i find this one. Did I miss it somewhere?
[Windows Mobile Themes] ninja4hire:
The size is really dependent on your phones font size. Try changing the font size on your phone first. Make sure you close messaging in your task manager before you make the change. Also you can try looking for "font-size" in the "iframe_style.css"

Actually most of the stuff can be changed by editing the iframe_style.css. Background color is one of the first things you will see in the .css file. Here is a link to an RGB Color Wheel the HTML Color is what you want to use. If you need to change your text font color, just add color:#xxxx !important; on a new line above or below the background color. (xxxx = the color you choose)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Uppy:
My only issue with the blur skin is the dual scrollbar bug has returned, i'm pretty sure its an issue with the iframe style and the threadbottom div in thread_sms.htm but i might be completely wrong, waiting for astronout to explain.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Araviel:
I'm waiting for too :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] fran_32:
work on hd2?? with LynxEX 1.2??
[Windows Mobile Themes] DanRo80:

Ninja font is in black and I can't read it because the backgrounds being dark blue and gray.
[Windows Mobile Themes] rfarrah:
Nice work - I love the new options. Going Ninja today. :D

Edit: tried Ninja. Gonna have to do the file edit for white type - it was unreadable. Back to the iphone one for now.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Uppy:
Thats cos they are designed for 6.5.3, I modded the iphone skin if you care to go back a page, it will work fine on your phone, I think... I THINK :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] puff0:
what I must do for install the iphone skin in my htc hd2?

I don't see different after install it. =(
[Windows Mobile Themes] rfarrah:
Did you do soft reset?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mccune:
Be sure to disable HTC Messaging on your device. Just read this thread.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ninja4hire:
Yes sorry everyone. The font color of the actual text message will be defaulted to the font color of your current sms (which is usually black). I didn't think about it when I made my skin because my font is defaulted white. To fix this you can follow the below instructions or just wait until I release my new skin.

Change Font Color

You will need to open the iframe_style.css (found in /windows) and look for this section near the top of the page:

body

{

VARIOUS LINES OF CODE

}

Anywhere in here add this line to the rest of the code: color:#ffffff !important;

That should make the text white for you.

[Windows Mobile Themes] SubSeven93:
I'm using:

HTC Diamond

Windows Mobile 6.1 (ROM: KIMERA 4.5 ULTIMATE)

HTC SENSE 2.1

First I downloaded Astronout Win7 SMS Skin v0.80.615, then this one: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5583014&postcount=206

But balloons are cut (in the top side), as shown in this picture:

How can I fix this bug? :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] DanRo80:
When I send to multiple contacts, I get the double scroll bars.
[Windows Mobile Themes] thepolishguy:
Ok- Hopefully some people can help. I can only suggest- since I am basically a noob. I had that same problem with an older release. Some people report uninstalling completely and reinstalling (even multiple times) resolves their problem. I would try a different Version as well- bc in the post you downloaded from he mentions "a few bugs". Post #254 has a skin similar to the one you want. Have you tried that one?

Don't work on my HD2

It looks very nice, the new sms threading! But it doesn't work on my HD2 (Manila 2.5.19211619.0) How get I running your new skin?

I also installed it without loading Manila also this hadn't any effekt! I always get the "old" Manila skin!

[Windows Mobile Themes] rfarrah:
Tried it; couldn't get the phone to allow me to save to that file, nor could I copy and paste a replacement into that folder.
[Windows Mobile Themes] rfarrah:
Read the first post. Are you running WM 6.1 or 6.5? Choose the appropriate download according to which version you are running.
[Windows Mobile Themes] 1107963:
Hey everyone I found this app today and tried it.. its call Infinity_0.2.4 and its an alpha version... I do like the SMS interface that they have.. so I was wondering if someone could make a skin like it... here is a pic and the cab file of the program...

thanks in advance..
[Windows Mobile Themes] 4D3:
hi,

i was wondering if these will work on the HD2 running WM6.5.x

thanks in advance

MG
[Windows Mobile Themes] michoob:
The skin is not hardware specific, but OS specific, and yes it works under WM6.5.x as written in the first post.

So yes it should work on the HD2 running WM6.5.x.
[Windows Mobile Themes] SH4YD33:
Tried to make my own skin. Just need to clean up the repeat image in the thread window.

you really dont see it when you have texts tho.
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
Is it possible to skin the base SMS window too? Since you kind of need to go through it to get to the threaded conversation.

Fantastic idea and skins, BTW.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Uppy:
looks like you have the same issue I had with the unknown contact image, open the theme css and change the topbar padding from 10px to 5px
[Windows Mobile Themes] SubSeven93:
that's the iphone skin... i've tried to set it up, but the result is the same...
[Windows Mobile Themes] aw1029:

[Windows Mobile Themes] petard:
I have an extra scrollbar using Astronout Manila SMS Skin v0.80.653.cab

Is it because of the increased scrollbar thickness?

This is REALLY nice otherwise. I can't believe Microsoft would leave the standard messaging screen so ugly when its just a couple text files that control it.

It also shows my picture as the contact picture sometimes.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Still_Waters_43:
Wow! that is an awsome app, I just tried the Windows 7 on my Touch and it's working good :D

? is there a CAB for the bottom middle skin (i.e. the one under the standard look) :confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] rndyx:
"Which file should I download?

1. Determine which theme you like: Manila or Win7

2. Start menu located top left? Take the vx.x.615 series (e.g. v0.7.615)

3. Start menu located bottom left? Take the vx.x.653 series (e.g. v0.7.653)

Thus Astronout Win7 SMS Skin v0.7.615.cab is version 0.7 of the Windows 7 skin for Windows Mobile 6.1 & 6.5 with the start menu at the top."

my start is @ top left and according to that post i should download the vx.x.615 series but theres only 653 series for the iphone theme
[Windows Mobile Themes] smotrs:
If a theme isn't available for your particular ROM version, then you will need to choose a different theme until someone ports it to the 6.1 version.
[Windows Mobile Themes] callmemoe:
Just wanted to say thanks for this. My photo is showing when I was the most recent sender (which was a surprise) and have no problems with other contact photos showing up. Looks so much better than the default.

Err just a brief question:

I like the bottom one (picture of the skins on the first page) by far the most!!!.but it seems that this particular one isnt mentioned anywhere?!?...

How is this skin called and where can i get it?!..

Thank you very much,

Daranus
[Windows Mobile Themes] Uppy:
Actually there is and if you actually READ the thread you might find what you're looking for!
[Windows Mobile Themes] thepolishguy:
You can't get it yet. Maybe Astronaut was trying to tease us. There are a few of us waiting for some sort of word on that skin as well.
[Windows Mobile Themes] rndyx:
I did read it lol..but thanks man!

btw is it really hard to turn HTC msg off? i'm a noob to wm... :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] Uppy:
Just pop the cab into your phone and install:

Disable HTC Messaging

Its completely reversible. :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] rfarrah:
..... +1 :D .....
[Windows Mobile Themes] rndyx:
I got it working! the only thing wrong is it doesnt show is the tiny contact picture on the top and i tried the updated version too... ;(
[Windows Mobile Themes] Uppy:
hmm can you post a picture to show me?

what phone are you using dude?
[Windows Mobile Themes] rndyx:
i have htc rhodium with spb, wm6.1 i think.

Im taking about the picture next to "lily" thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Themes] maardiweb:
You won't see the picture if you sent the last sms!

Another question: I just installed the Manilla skin again after a hard-reset. Before, it worked very nice, but now only the top frame is in manilla style and the actual sms thread is in default, dull grey winmo sms thread style..

Does someone know where I went wrong?

thnx in advance
[Windows Mobile Themes] 4D3:
yeah tryed that but that is for manilla users, i dont use manila i use the titanium plugin!

I was more looking for the reg key to disable the HTCMessaging.dll, then it would use the WM default.

[Windows Mobile Themes] adioph:
Is it possible to make contact picture/photo display bigger? for WVGA devices?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] thebranded:
LOL is it possible to completely remove the contact picture and top bar?

On qvga that bar while nice takes up valuable real estate, and since i already know who im sms'ing dont need to see the persons pic or name seperatly.
[Windows Mobile Themes] thepolishguy:
You can try. IF it doesn't work, just reinstall. In the Windows folder you can delete the file's

smstitle

and

sms_unknowncontact

of course if that totally screws everything up- I am sorry.
[Windows Mobile Themes] thebranded:
im sure theres more to it than that! :D

just deleteing the files will leave a empty rectangle across the top right, dont you have to edit some files to make the sms section expand into the top section?

im no html/css developer so i could not work out how the files need to be edited.

Hi all,

I just finished modifying the skin I made I will try to upload it as soon as possible. Testing it on my touch pro I found that this one loads faster and looks a lot cleaner.

I guess the whole skinning sms chat thing only works if your not running manila right?
[Windows Mobile Themes] ebsbow:
If someone makes an M2D/3D plugin( Like the Agenda tab) then it will be possible to run it from within Manila.

Hi guys!

Just a quick message from me: I'm back from a nice holiday :p

For those of you who've had sleepless nights about the 'mysterious' skin on the front page: return in about 8 hours :cool:

I haven't had the opportunity to read all post last week, but I've seen a few modifications to the original skin.

If have devised your own skin and would like to see it in the first post, send me a pm!

Could it be used on WM 6.5 with taskbar like the old 6.1?
[Windows Mobile Themes] iihughes:
Astronout, thanks you for your excellent work. I installed the Win7 version for 6.1 and the message threads look brilliant.

One thought: my SMS Inbox is still in boring old black text on white background. :(

Given that the messages are listed by sender name it would be great if they could be shown in alternate colours.

Thanks again - your efforts are appreciated.

iPhone theme plans

I'm not sure you would have to tell me :p

I have recently been experimenting with just that. It would appear that when you edit those files, the changes will also show up in the e-mail inboxes and for non-threaded text messages. My themeing would be relatively basic so I wouldn't have much to share. Basicly for my theme I'm just changing the read, new, and picture message icons on the left side of the screen. I'll get back to you all on that when I can. Cheers!

PS: Astronaut, if you have any info on this it would realy be helpful for me. I a relitive noob at html compared to you lol.
[Windows Mobile Themes] alhuang69:
It is beautiful and working very well.

NOT working on the HD2

After trying this with different ROMs my conclusion is that this is NOT working on a HD2 (Leo).

I set my messaging to the default Windows messaging and then whatever 6.5.x cab from post #1 I try nothing changes, it stays just the default WM interface.

There have been quite a few people in this thread asking how to get it work on the HD2 and they all got nice answers like "look in the first post", "set your SMS to the Windows default" ect.

Bottom line it just doesn't work on a HD2.

Or is there anyone, anyone got it working on a HD2???

I would be very glad, this looks very nice...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Uppy:
Blur skin for 615.

Let me know how it works on non 653 devices, i hope Astronaut doesnt mind me modding his stuff without permission :D

Download HERE
[Windows Mobile Themes] alhuang69:
I think you must be misunderstood of the "Windows default" -- it means to revert from the HTC Messaging client to WM messaging by install the Zenyee Disable Messaging 1.2 cab, install the SDKCerts and then the Skin cab

It should work fine then .... :D

I really like the one without style name below(last img) but I can't find the attachement.Can I get it through any other method? Thx for your hard working~
[Windows Mobile Themes] acc49ers:
I'm using this version instead of the 653 version and it got rid of the double scroll bars. thanks. Would it be possible to make this one with the contact pic in the upper right hand corner though? and does anyone know how to make the input area a little bigger. I used to just edit the height in thread_sms.htm, but now when I do that I get a bigger input area but I get double scroll bars?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Uppy:
I'm not sure, the double scrollbar is related to the size of the topbar and input area, try reducing the size of the topbar.

as for making the DP in the top right ill see what I can do.

Thank you for pointing me at reading, I read the whole thread before I posted. Post after post...

Perhaps you could read MY post, it says I already did what you pointed at.

Bottom line: till now I'm still convinced it doesn't work on HD2, there's still noone who has confirmed it did! :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] alhuang69:
Please be informed that the existing messages (before reverted to WM Messaging and installing the SMS Skin) will not be affected. The new messages will be affected only after the new skin cab installed.

If you had done everything (install Zenyee, install SDKCert, install the Skin cab),

try to send out message and then check again.

I think it should work.... by the way you must check the version of the SMS skin which you installed was compatible to your device Windows Mobile version.
[Windows Mobile Themes] themajesty:
thank you very much!:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] pietrucci:
Ok, thanx, I finally got it to work on my HD2. Very nice!
[Windows Mobile Themes] acc49ers:
nevermind. I was messing around and was able to figure out how to put the pic at the top right corner and I was also able to figure out how to get rid of the double scroll bars when I make the input space bigger with some trial and error so now the input space can fit three lines. In thread_style.css I change the #threadbottom height from 84 to 92 and in thread_sms.htm I changed the height from 40 to 52.

Ok everything works fine except the pic thats suppose to show up for an unknown contact doesn't show up anymore. I have absolutely no experience or knowledge with html/css. Can someone help me. I've attached a zip with my thread_style.css and thread_sms.htm files so you can see what I have so far. Thanks.

also on the top bar, is there a way to remove the contact image and only have the words 'conversation with', i do not have any contact images at all so this would give it a cleaner look.

if anybody knows, or if anybody would kindly modify one of the skins to my requirments i'd really appreciate it.
