[Windows Mobile Themes] vbmarco:
Hello, first of all congratulations, great job, you could please post the files for this dialer?
[Windows Mobile Themes] heartwork:
is there a way to simply install the dialer- skin (without the whole theme) in the first screenshots?

edit: nevermind!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
Sure, here you go :)

(WVGA)
[Windows Mobile Themes] vbmarco:
Thank you, very kind! :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] vbmarco:
I'm adapting to resolve the Omnia i900, what's the name of the background file please?

Thanks again, it's a beautiful skin. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] deepankerjha:
wat abt the same dialer for qvga Dirk?

regards
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by 'background file'. Perhaps you can clarify? If the images are for an Omnia they will need reducing 50% if you weren't already aware of that.

That Dialer is available for all resolutions on the 1st post :) Its the 'DG Dialers [W]QVGA and the 'River' Dialer cab found inside.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] vbmarco:
Sorry for my English, I understand that my background is white, which file should I replace to make it black?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
Resize ALL of the image files in the zip i posted for you by 50% and copy them to your Windows directory.
[Windows Mobile Themes] vbmarco:
I already tried to install the cab you posted on the front page, but unfortunately the result is this:

May perhaps depend on the file tapres.dll.0410.mui? Could you kindly try to post your tapres.dll.0409.mui?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
vbmarco, what phone is that screenshot from and what file did you install?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] vbmarco:
The phone is a Samsung Omnia i900 and i installed cab DGBlackDialer[W]QVGA.cab
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
Have you any reason to think that your .dll is faulty in some way, i.e have you changed or edited it in some way, or does that file vary between different ROMs/Builds?

I'm trying to see why it would work on my Omnia but not yours :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] vbmarco:
Later I try to cook using the tapres.dll.0409 and tell you if it works ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
Well it seems you have a good grasp of what you are doing. As long as the Dialers work for the majority of people i am happy to post image files for anybody who wants them.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] vbmarco:
Thank you for the time, the help and the wonderful work :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
It's my pleasure :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] xboxhaxorz:
any chance you have the original manilla dialer but black instead of white
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
I don't but a search for Phone Canvas will probably find you what you are looking for. There are a lot of nice customised ones around the forums.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kurazz:
Gah! You have no idea how much I want that black evolution theme. I really need to get 6.5 on my device. The red revolution is great too. You chose the perfect shade of red.

And no one seems to be answering on thread about the dialer. I find it hard to believe considering over 200 people have looked at my thread... Oh well. I may just have to try it some day.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dare2know:
Well, New theme is superb and well SYnC with the ^6.5.x new builds..but without titanium the upper and bottom bar looks only black on standby..any way to make them transparent without Titanium...

i m on Onyx qvga Elfin device latest build.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
It looks like Microsoft wanted to keep that trick for itself :D I've not seen any tool that makes it possible either. The best that i could do would be to try and match the bar colours to the wallpaper you use so that they compliment each other.

DG.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
Updates for all Themes added to 1st page.

[Windows Mobile Themes] weimingqing:
Nice theme! Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Themes] dare2know:
hey i use default theme wallpapers so..if u can suggest something to match the default theme wallpapers that will be best...i think superb.

thanks buddy

see ya
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
No problem. Post the Wallpaper here and i'll see what i can come up with for you :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
Apologies..

So, you may have noticed i made a few changes to my work since i first posted these Themes . It was never my intention to have a 'Beta' phase when i first uploaded them, in fact at the time i was happy with what i had accomplished. Inevitably, as i gained experience so the standard of the work improved! I wanted to bring those improvements to the work that i had already posted and so i updated it. Repeatedly!

So, to those of you that find themselves with outdated versions of my Original Themes, i apologise. I hope you like the improvements enough to download the latest versions again.

Thank you all for your patience.

DG.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
For those of you that made it this far in the thread, congratulations!

Read on for more Themes and Dialers :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] kurazz:
Well, I have some great news. I got tired of waiting for someone to reply in that thread I made, so decided to go ahead and try the dialer anyway. It works!

Just for dramatic effect, here is the one I've been stuck with for 6 months:

And here is what I have now, thanks to you!

So, as you can see, your dialer just gets rid of the Xperia one and defaults to the WM6.1 dialer with your skin. You have no idea how happy this makes me. Thank you very much!

FYI, my device is an Xperia X1 running WM6.1 (CE OS 5.2.19608 [Build 19608.1.2.60]). It has a WVGA screen. Not sure if you wanted to know this or not...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
Great news indeed! I know how much you hated that Grey Dialer :D Confirmation too that the Dialers work for WM 6.1 which may be of help to others.

Always good to hear from you and thanks for the feedback!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dark Ninja:
Very nice work here, love the dialers. Good work man, keep it up!
[Windows Mobile Themes] vbmarco:
Great job, congratulations!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
Thank you :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] aidinvm_ultimate:
very beautiful

thanks a lot
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
This is my new favourite Dialer. Nice and simple but works well with all Themes:
[Windows Mobile Themes] dare2know:
hey thats cool but u should have a look at kane dialer with dragon backgroud. my personal fav
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
I've had a play around with using backgrounds but it looks too busy for my tastes. I like to keep the look simple for compatability sake. Otherwise i end up having to change Dialer every time i fancy a Theme change.

Btw, the new Softkey Bar & Buttons shown above will be available soon ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] wlw6600:
thank you very much,
[Windows Mobile Themes] taox:
I like your style.

it's great!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
Thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] dede14:
very beautiful

Thanks...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
Thanks guys!

If anybody is using the older Themes from the 1st page i would recommend trying the 'Ultimate' version now that it is available. imo the new ones are far better.

DG.
[Windows Mobile Themes] perveeus:
Hello _ I really like your lock theme in this pic.

Installed on my Sprint 6.5 stock...it did not do anything.

My old theme is still there.

What is going on? Can you please advise. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
Did you install the Theme cab as well as the Slider cab? The Slider cab is just that..the Slider only.

Hope that answers your question.
[Windows Mobile Themes] perveeus:
hah I am an idiot. I just installed the slider cab.

Duh.

thanks for the direction & nice job as always!
[Windows Mobile Themes] dare2know:
have u seen andi yellow that is also very cool
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
I'm working on a new Theme but in the meantime here is a new Black Dialer:
[Windows Mobile Themes] aidinvm_ultimate:
thanks man

all your versions especially ultimate one are great

may u post some new lockscreen also?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
Thanks, i'm glad you like them!

Once i've finished my new Theme i will certainly take a look at doing some new Sliders. Thanks for the suggestion.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dare2know:
let me be the First to appraise u for this beautiful and colorful theme..its Sexcy.

except Xp style wallpaper ..but Decent
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
Thanks man!

I'd been toying with this idea for a while and i do like doing something original :)

If anybody has a great Wallpaper that they'd like to see a Theme built around perhaps they could post it here. I'll see if it inspires me.

[Windows Mobile Themes] znial:
the new bliss is really cool!

and now it is definitely SPRING time :D on my AcerE1 too!

i luv your themes, nice colors, nice graphics, simple usage... perfect; but i have a request for you... (if you would like and get the free time to do it) could you do a theme like those but based on the pink(or purple or magenta) colors (something like girly and strowberry :D)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
Some nice pics there mate, thanks.

I have got a purple wallpaper on my shortlist that i've been thinking of basing a Theme around. I'll have a look at doing some graphics that could compliment it and play around with them to see what i can come up with.

I'm free for the next few days so this could be done sooner than you think :) Got to do some coloured sliders first but they shouldn't take too long.

Thanks for the nice comments.
[Windows Mobile Themes] znial:
i'll stay tuned :D

ty very much
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
New Lockscreen Sliders in multiple colours.

Personally i think Black is the most widely compatable but contrasting colours can also look good. Mix and match for best effect.

More Sliders can be found with their respective Themes throughout the Thread.
[Windows Mobile Themes] znial:
WOW

it is really cool (just what i would like) good job!

hey the Grey Dialer does nt works on my QVGA device..i am seeing the same age old...prior 2 this Bliss and Nebula dialers were workingfine...see the Grey QVGA dialer package ..se ya
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
Bizarre, it's working perfectly on my Omnia! It's the same package as the previous Dialers so there is no reason why it wouldn't. Did you uninstall the previous Dialer before installing the new one? That's the only thing i can think of right now.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
DG 'Black Dragon' Theme
[Windows Mobile Themes] rfarrah:
I downloaded the dialler zip file, and got the same thing. Is there another file that was fixed?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
Which Dialer were you trying and for which resolution? I have all the current ones working just fine on my own devices.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
Softkey updates coming to the 'Ultimate' Themes soon!
[Windows Mobile Themes] rfarrah:
I downloaded the DG Dialers zip file for wqvga on post 1. Landscape is fine, portrait is messed up on my VZW i910 Omnia.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
The Original and Evolution versions of my Themes have now been fully replaced with the Ultimate versions and are no longer available. The latter has had improvements made to the Softkey Bar and Buttons. 1st Post has been updated.

The River Theme is also history and has gone to meet the 'Great Theme Maker In The Sky'.

Everything has been tested on WVGA and WQVGA devices and is working fine for me. Can't suggest anything that can help you right now except to try re-installing.

Edit: If you can find the time could you post a screenshot so that i can see what's going on?

Thanks.

DG
[Windows Mobile Themes] znial:
i am going to grab the latest skins :D

as always thank you very much

Glory to the 'Great Theme Maker In The Sky'
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
It's my pleasure and as always it's great to hear from you!

If anybody has had trouble with Dialers not looking as they should please let me know. I'd love to solve rfarrah's problems.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dare2know:
whats coming next after dragon..

..i would say dragon z great.nd looks stylish
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
How're you doing mate?

I'm rather pleased with how Dragon came out too! I'd say it's the best one yet, though of course the next one is going to be even better!

Speaking of which i have already formulated an idea for what to do and how to do it. I could tell you but that would ruin the surprise. I can tell you though that i'm gonna be really original about the colour scheme and do this one in Black! ;D
[Windows Mobile Themes] dare2know:
may b there should be a pre beta group man like friends like me who should get a taste and also suggests u for more innovative ideas...what do u say..work in a team and be the winner..

New suggestions: have u seen Boingo wireless..why dont we have a theme like that..flying high wire free..
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
Thanks. I'll be trying to bring new design elements to any future Themes :)

What's a Boingo wireless when it's at home? :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] dare2know:
boingo.com is a worldwide wifi access provider.

RIver theme is Dashing ..and afresh...

what about some 2/3 tone/layered themes...like painting and imitating some new look...more glossy but the base file can be RIver style theme but experiments with color content ..

think about it.

** and dialpad in round or oval shape like Droid one...Plz plz..hehe
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
I'm on it :)

More 'Glossy' is coming and i will be doing the new look in colours if i can. I'm looking for some awesome Wallpapers to inspire me and to base a Theme around.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dare2know:
i am using Panther ..its amazing ..and looks fresh out of Hell:)

nice work dude. thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
Thanks man! I'm really pleased with how it came out. The Ultimate Themes on the first page are starting to look kinda rudimentary in comparison aren't they? :D

I haven't found any new and inspiring Wallpapers for Red and Blue versions yet but i'm still looking!
[Windows Mobile Themes] znial:
hi myfriend, i love your new themes (river and panther)

if you neeed some inspi for a blue theme i drop here a wallpaper cropped by a nice picture took by my brother in these cloudy days
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
Thanks, glad you like the Themes :)

I've just finished updating the thread a bit and re-organised a few things. Hopefully the changes will will meet with everyones approval! I took the opportunity to give the Ultimate Themes some small updates and created myself a Signature :D Let me know what you think.

The Cloudy Sky pic is nice, kudos to your Bro. Although i might not use that exact picture it has given me a new avenue to explore. Keep 'em coming!

Thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] dare2know:

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dare2know:
nice walls..
[Windows Mobile Themes] dare2know:
new color nd new design ..fantastic.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
Thanks my friend.

I really wanted to do something with that wallpaper. I'd been sitting on it for a while :) It gave me the chance to finally do a Theme with some yellow in and it is also my first Theme without Softkey Buttons. Maybe i'll do more if there is demand for it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] srgudhka:
how about making themes like these.

I've edited the post to make it clearer. No Titanium mods, but maybe that is something i should look into huh? :D

Thank you for your support and comments my friend.

[Windows Mobile Themes] srgudhka:
awesome...gr8 work....
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
Thanks!

I've been taking a close look at the Wallpapers you posted to see if i can do something different with one of them. They're all beautiful but finding an original idea is proving difficult :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] srgudhka:
hmmmm...but thats why you are a genius. i dunno how this suggestion is gonna help you but u can use different shaped buttons and selectors for a theme, something similar to i posted few posts back in the leaf theme i.e the selectors were of leaves. of course they might not go with wallapapers i had posted but one can always try something new and unique

Lovely looking.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
That's exactly what i want to do. I was having a think about it while i was out running this morning and i had a few vague ideas. I'll do some experimenting over the next couple of days but today is mostly a day of rest :)

Thanks for the links!

I think their legal dept. might have something to say about that :D

BTW, i made a mistake with the Softkey bar in an attempt to get around the issue of the bar being made transparent by Titanium on the Homescreen. Personally i wish this was a feature that could be disabled. Perhaps if anybody knows of a workaround for this they could post it here?

Anyway, what i did was add the image of the Softkey bar to the bottom of the wallpaper so that, even with the bar transparent, there would still be the bar image below! It made the Homescreen look much better with Titanium enabled, but the unfortunate consequence of that was having the bar showing on the Lockscreen. Doh! (I don't use the Lockscreen and only realised about this today).

Anyway, fixed the cabs now.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dare2know:
well this trick can Lead to New style for forthcoming Themes... well this is really Nice.and i also do not

use Lackscreen ...unless i m getting bored with nothing..:"

erm guys is it possible to make black the main color of the OS.... like the zune interface, like we have seen in the wp7 demo video's i particularly like the whight on black text.... im thinking every application we have with windows mobile should have this color option... i particularly don't like the dialer wight background in the list

in short im looking to turn my whaight energy guzaling aplications in to black... shuld make battery life better to :D

PS: I am using the said black raounded dieler of yours
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dirk:
It is possible, and there are one or two Themes around like this, but it is a PITA to implement and almost impossible to have everything working perfectly.

Have a look at THIS page and in particular the 'ThemeColor' & 'ThemeValue' pictures. That is what you have to deal with.

Through the OS there are areas of Text that are white and others that are Black for example. Change the background to Black and the Black Text would need to be changed to a contrasting colour or you wouldn't see it. You might fix an issue like that in one place only to cause another issue somewhere else. It's because of problems like that and the complexity of the job as a whole that i leave it alone.

There are times when i would dearly love to be able to control all of the visual elements of the OS. If there were a comprehensive guide detailing what exactly each Value changes i might have a go at it. I've never seen one though and a trial and error attempt would take forever.

im runnin super D 1.6 on my g1 and i couldnt find a thread on how i can use apps2sd on this setup. someone point me in the right direction or help me out in someway. btw NOOB ALERT!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badaphooko01:
it should be automatic if your partition your sd card in Fat-ext3 or 4 format.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
You just need to have an ext2,3, or 4 partition. Google or forum search on how to create partitions on the sd card. Or use the recovery image in my sig to create them.

You will loose your data so backup the card before formating.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrCDWJR:
i already have it partitioned and i have the ra-dream recovery image that you have so what do i do from here?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
See post #2, it's automatic.

A better question would be what makes you think it's not working?

The output in parted > print would show you the partition layout, verify the partitions are created successfully.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrCDWJR:
i think its not working because i have very low internal memory after installing a few apps. im sure it was parted correctly because i remember doing it during my mod.
