I thought I would share my current theme/skin in case anyone wants at least a part of it. I'm currently using an NRG Rom for my Tilt2 so the sense icons started with that general theme. It bugs me when all my icons do not match, so I skinned several programs that I use all the time so that everything flows well together. I should mention that some of these skins (power radio and thumbcal for example) may be WVGA only.

Update: Dialer cabs now available in post #3 - not sure if Leo cab is answer for HD2 dialer canvas problems - let me know(Dec 22)

Update: CHT2 Icons cab file in post #3 (Dec 3)

Update: New wallpapers for WVGA CHT2 in post #3 (Nov 15)

Update: Added blue highlight selection bar to phone skin zipped file in second post (Nov 9)

Update: Phone skin zipped file added to second post (Nov 7)

Update: Sense Icons, Comm Manager, Notification Icons, and Phone skin download link added to second post (Nov 6)

Update: Taskbar and Swype added to second post (Nov 4)

Look at the bottom of the first 4 posts for the attached cab/zipped files. Also the Earth and sun and moon wallpaper you see on the S2U2 screen shot is in the wallpaper.zip file.

My taskbar is a modified version of the m6silver color taskbar so most of the credit goes to him for that. I've changed the notification icons to match the sense theme I'm using. You will also notice that I use a couple of dusk images (like several graphics in the S2U2 theme and the Clock Background for Sense) and I don't want to take credit for that. If I have used someone elses icons, I don't want to take credit for them so let me know. I have worked a lot to make most of my own icons. I haven't really made most of the graphics, I have just pulled them from the web and converted them for the program images. I'm not a graphic artist.

The action screen is configured for some of the apps I use so it may not work for you. You can always visit the thread learn how to update the registry yourself.

I'm always open to suggestions and comments. I'm not really satisfied with the contact sense icon. I don't really like the orange background on the picture in the contact card. I'm looking for a better solution on that one. Also if anyone know how to skin the system icons on the notification screen, I'd like to know.

I've attached some screen shots and I will start putting together the cab files for the installs. It seems that I keep changing and updating the theme until I get it completely right.

psShutXP(also replaces the long press power button) / Thumbcal / Resco File Explorer / S2U2

CHT Forelayer / CHT Icons / Action Screen / Power Radio

I have made a lot of realize type icons that are rounded iphone looking. If anyone is interested, I will post those as well. Here's a couple of screen shots:

Also, standard disclaimer - don't hold me responsible if something goes wrong with your phone.
[Windows Mobile Themes] sponge_worthy:
Here's the forelayer skins I use. See this thread for more information on the new CHT feature.

Also, I had to split the Swype skin into portrait and landscape because the file was to big too add. Plus not everybody needs landscape.

The Finger Keyboard skin is for this keyboard program.

The cab for the phone skin is too big so here's a download link. If the cab file isn't working (it doesn't seem to work for me either for some reason - anyone know why), I was able to copy the files in the attached zipped folder and use total commander or resco explorer to copy from my SD card to my windows folder. Give that a try. I should mention that I haven't fixed the graphics for the Landscape skin. I don't ever use the phone in landscape, but I might work on after I get everything else fixed. If you do copy over the files, I would make a backup of those files - especially the phcanimages.dll. Also, I don't even know which dialer is technically in the NRG ROM and for right now I don't have the VGA version done yet. I want to get the WVGA landscape done first.

The Sense Icons are all the icons that I updated from the standard Energy ROM theme. So some of them I haven't changed. If you need all the slider icons I can provide those as well. Just let me know.

Let me know if any of the cabs aren't working. I'm having trouble getting the phone dialer skin to work with cab install.

Sense icons and tabs

Dialer

Notification / Comm Mgr / Finger Keyboard / Swype
[Windows Mobile Themes] sponge_worthy:
I've attached a cab for the Co0kie Home Tab 2.0 icon set. It also changes the icons in the CHT Editor as well. I'll be skinning the CHT scheduler here soon as well.

SUCCESS!! I've fixed a cab for the dialer. I think I have one for those having problems on the HD2. Try the cab and let me know.

Here's some new WVGA wallpapers I put together. Mostly Sci-Fi ones including the Wide (for CHT2), Portrait, and Landscape versions. The zipped file is very large so I uploaded it to 4shared. Some of these I pulled from XDA but I forget where. Others I pulled from the web and resized for my WVGA device.

Excellent Work

Your theme for CHT2 is very good. :):):)

By the way, can you provide a link to the taskbar in you snapshots.
[Windows Mobile Themes] sponge_worthy:
Here's the link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=653881

I have modified some of the icons and will post my version a little later. I've changed things like wifi, the phone icon, voicemail, and even the default folder icons to the black ones pictured in the resco explorer snap shot. I'm still putting together all the cab files.
[Windows Mobile Themes] sponge_worthy:
I see people are downloading the Resco skin. I realized that I didn't skin all the buttons for the bottom. I just did the ones I use. I might look into skinning the other buttons as well, but there are a lot of buttons. I first will put together all the cab files for the other skins.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jerrya:
Nice choice of songs! I so want to get this thing up and running! Had to replace my Imagio, wife thinks it was the custom ROM with 1.8.5 on it that caused it to die. Soon I hope, soon!

Very nice job as well, this really looks great!
[Windows Mobile Themes] cashmoney121:
Looks great. I am hoping to try this out really soon.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mickael91210:
Hello Worthy,

Bravo !!! It looks great !

Is it possible to have a link to your dialer and the font that you're using in the notifications tab (or S2U2) for example?

Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Themes] drdingdong:
I shall be waiting eagerly for your taskbar cab. Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Themes] sponge_worthy:
I actually used this KD Font program and changed to the Hall Fetica Font. You can find this great program here.

I'll post the Dialer cab and the other cabs hopefully today sometime. I'm scheduled to be out most of the day.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
every thing looks awesome

im gonna take a guess its for wvga only
[Windows Mobile Themes] sponge_worthy:
I probably could make some vga adjustments. My wife has my old Fuze. Some of the skins will work with vga I think. I'll make a VGA wallpaper at least and I think the dialer, power radio, action screen, and swype landscape are really the only things that will be WVGA. I can adjust the power radio pretty easily. The action screen is WVGA exclusive. I'd might be able to get the swype vga landscape and dialer files from my wife's Fuze.

Is there a big demand for those in VGA?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
not that i know of ..probably not alot of us vga users around lol

i am mainly interrested in the sense stuff

the sense icons and tabs

and the dialer if it isnt to much to do

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] king200:
Which .cab includes the Dialer?

I have difficulty in seeing the stock Ivory dialer and your black dialer is exactly what I have been searching for.

(EDIT) Disregard. The answer is already in thread
[Windows Mobile Themes] sponge_worthy:
Yeah. I just put the download link up this morning.
[Windows Mobile Themes] king200:
I downloaded and tried to install the "phone", which I assume included the dialer. It would not install. Got message to try another location for install. I tried both 'device' and 'storage card' and got same result.

Running NRG Sencity ROM
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
i had to extract all the files from the cab and copy and paste into the windows

directory

and it worked great on the 23683 rom i was on

but i flashed a new rom this morning 23145 and it wont work at all

even the other modded dialer i have doesnt work on it

its weird
[Windows Mobile Themes] leocan:
Hi Worthy;

Where is the dialer skin link?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
its on the first page second post

in big letters says download link
[Windows Mobile Themes] leocan:
Yes I know but it not work dowload link (Sponge Worthy Black and Blue Grill Phone Theme) for HD2 leo.

No proglem (OK):

Sponge Worthy Comm Mgr and Notif Icons Theme.cab:)

Sponge Worthy Black and Blue Grill Sense Icons.cab:)

Need:

Sponge Worthy dialer Theme.cab;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
i just downloaded it again from that link
[Windows Mobile Themes] leocan:
It's install net but not install cab Leo.
[Windows Mobile Themes] sponge_worthy:
It seems that the DLL won't copy from the cab to windows directory. So I added a zipped file of the dialer graphics and DLL in the second post. Try unzipping those files and copying them to your SD card. Then use Total Commander or Resco Explorer to copy and paste them to the windows directory. That has worked for me.
[Windows Mobile Themes] chrisrj28:
I tried to download the phone skin.zip but I keep getting an error. Can you upload that to 4shared op?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
it is on 4shared
[Windows Mobile Themes] afropoet:
I'm not able to install the skin on a NRG ROM
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
a little more information would be helpful

like what phone do you have and which NRG Rom
[Windows Mobile Themes] sponge_worthy:
Which of the skins are you trying to install. If its the phone skin. I can't seem to make a cab that will install it. I think it is the DLL that is causing the problem. I will upload the zipped files to 4shared instead of the cab file. See post 2 for more information.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
hey Sponge what rom version did you make the dialer from

im trying to figure out why it works on some roms but not others
[Windows Mobile Themes] sponge_worthy:
Check the link in my sig. The current version of the Rhodium ROM for NRG is Nov 2 but my install is the Regular Energy Sense from Oct 25. I have a Tilt2 so different devices may have different dialers. I don't know.

Edit: Its also just for WVGA for now. I'm going to work on a VGA version soon.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
ok this is the weird thing

it actually works on vga as it is now

now this is on Tael rom 23683

but when i flashed Taels new rom 23145

it doesnt work at all

kinda strange huh
[Windows Mobile Themes] sponge_worthy:
I noticed I didn't include the blue highlights for the selection because it was standard on the Energy Rom. Do you want that instead of the green?

Also, have you received any calls. I can understand the dialer works for VGA, but I would worry about answering a call or the call status during a call. Any problems with that?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
the blue would be cool

funny you mentioned the in answering and call status

cause i got a call while im replying to this

and it seems to work perfectly

the only thing that im curious about now is why it works on one 23683 and not on 23145

i could flash to the 23145 latter and try and post screenies and see what you think if thats ok with you

other than the not working on another wm build its an awesome dialer

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
ok here is the pics of your dialer with the phcanimages.dll that came with the rom

...

and this is with your dll file

...

ive looked at the images in both dll files and they are the same

or maybe im missing something
[Windows Mobile Themes] sponge_worthy:
Can you zip the DLL and attach it here? I'll have a look.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
sure here ya go

thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
ok this 23145 is becoming annoying lol

it has sense 2019

and your sense mod doesnt work on it either ..it worked perfect on 23683

just might have to revert back to it
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dougi:
Hi,

nice work ... tried to install on my HD 2 , cab install failed and unziping to windows folders , the result is horrible , nothing is in place.. ( for info : running NRGZ 21684 cookie 2.0 )

to bad , for me the best slide to answer skin... hope you can fix this..
[Windows Mobile Themes] sponge_worthy:
Can you upload a zipped copy of the DLL then so I can have a look?
[Windows Mobile Themes] vc.57:
Thanks for sharing...:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] John823:
Hey. Great skin. I have one question, Can you change the wait cursor on this skin ? Because this present for me is too big. For something like the Energy ROMs or Vista wait cursor. Many thanks for your work. Greetings
[Windows Mobile Themes] Lindstroem89:
:s

how do i install this software from my computer to my phone?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
hey Sponge

dont worry about my issue im sticking with 23683 cause everything works perfect on it

ive tried 3 different roms and hardly any of the mods i use work on them

so they mustve changed something in those builds

the only mods ive got to work were taskbar and bottom bar nothing else worked
[Windows Mobile Themes] John823:
Hey. Is it possible after installing the skin back to its original appearance Manila clock? Since the current design for me is too dark, it seems to me that it varies with the installation of Taskbar, and did not want me to uninstall it.

And how can I change the wait cursor? I will be grateful for your response. Greetings.
[Windows Mobile Themes] cahuna03:
I know I sound like a total nube, but how do I install this theme?
[Windows Mobile Themes] sponge_worthy:
Yes. I've been planning on changing it to something else. That green bar was left over from my Matrix theme. I've got to find something better for this bluish theme.

It depends on what package you are wanting to install. Most of them are cab versions that you just copy from your PC to your phone - preferably the SD Card. Then from a file explorer on your phone you just run the cab file. For the phone, though the cab install isn't working. You'll have to unzip that package on your PC and copy the files to your SD Card again and use Total Commander or Resco File Explorer to copy them to the Windows directory of your phone. But before you do that I would suggest copying the original files from the windows directory to a backup directory on your SD Card. Because some people have had problems with the phone skin not matching their version.

Are you saying that you want the original clock? The CHT analog clock or the flip clock? I could try and put a package together without any clock changes. Would that be good for you?
[Windows Mobile Themes] John823:
Yes, I meant to change the black flip clock. As for analog clock I know how to change it. Sponge_worthy thanks for your reply.
[Windows Mobile Themes] donwhann:
love the dialer. is there a .cab for install..?. im on stock rom so should be ok right ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] liam82:
hello, but you can have the theme in Italian language
[Windows Mobile Themes] sponge_worthy:
Sorry I didn't see this before. I haven't been able to create a cab for the dialer because it bombs when it tries to copy the new dll. I have put all the files in a zipped folder. Just copy them to your SD Card and back up the current files you have in the Windows directory that are in my zipped file. Then copy the new files over the old ones in the windows directory.
[Windows Mobile Themes] vonstarr:
CHT Install Noob

Hi Sponge. Great job on the theme. :D

I'm a little new to this, and would like to install the CHT skins and icons, but I'm not sure where I should put the .png files from the zip file on the HD2 to make it work. :confused: Could you help? :o

Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Themes] sponge_worthy:
The CHT files should just go in the Windows directory. I thought I had made a cab file. Would you rather use that?
[Windows Mobile Themes] vonstarr:
Sorry about late answer. I think you'd mentioned working on a cab file, so if that's available I'd love it. If not, I'll try just dropping the files into the \Windows diretory.

Thanks either way for the great job!
[Windows Mobile Themes] sponge_worthy:
I just realized that all the Sense changes I've made to the standard Energy ROM are in the second post its called Sponge Worthy Black and Blue Grill Sense Icons.cab

I've also added a cab file for the CHT2 icons on the third post. I think these two files are the ones you want.
[Windows Mobile Themes] BHS Interceptor:
Hola, guess it´s time we get together on something(s) ;):p:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] sponge_worthy:
So what themes are you working on? What issues are you having?

I'll post a zip file of the themes for mine. It will switch between Black and Blue grill and Buuf throughout Sense. If I could just get the Dialer, Taskbar, and WM6.5.3 theme to switch too then I'd be set.

I'd like to add a Matrix, GTX and Windroid as well. And now with the Star Trek and Stargate ones to add too.
[Windows Mobile Themes] BHS Interceptor:
Hola, so far all the themes I´ve played with and tested (far over 20), but depending on the definition of "Theme" as in "Fully Skinned" device (including WinMo side as well as all menues and submenues), "Partially Skinned" (CHT and all tabs as well as some menues and submenues), or "Standard Skinned" (CHT, all widgets and tabs - without most menues and submenues)..., are CHTS switchable on a "Standard" basis - I have to admitt, this is not my achievement, but the result of all members of CHTS and CHTA group and their great support and abilities :D

The issues arise from most themes not having a "working" or well defined CHTTheme.xml, and also most "themers" not considering the "white paper" for it, as well as widgets not beeing "clean" (especially since the addon widgets getting corrupted by others...), mixing manilas not beeing compatible with lower(older)/upper(newer) versions (and not communicating this to users) and so on... Also themes that are intended (prior to CHT 2.0 and CHTS) to work on one device as only theme..., so, there are some minor and mayor issues :o

Yes, a zip file would be perfect and very appreciated ;)

Dialer, Taskbar and WinMo theme is beeing looked at, but... it´s pretty sensible to do that. So for the time beeing, only (which is already a lot) Sense/CHT Switching :D

I would love to see you finishing your Matrix theme also, and WinDroid´s, if you refer to Mr.BeOPT´s, I have all 5 switching and also working with tin2404 on his themes (he has besides the newer ones StarTrek and StarGate, also some very nice older ones and a beatiful weather skin) as well as ConanTroutman´s OrangeStreet (Full - besides his four CHTS Themes), his Cubism themes (4), Miller´s SilverShine, DJCedric´s TouchofGlas, Dinik´s ansatasia, LeCiel´s Sencity, Lunie´s Saya, Steve 007 & Dunc´s Elegancia, Antaed´s Nummum Bull´s Eye, s2w´s SimmWorks (3 themes), Geralt´s Metro, NeoXL´s Win7... all of these with agreement of the original "Themers" as well as some other ones put together by pieces. And last but not least, some of Santod´s great contributions for CHT as well as from other members of the CHT Groups such as rat_2665, Dunc001, Poyensa, Mike2nl, Saugbaer, Bonito77 and of course MichelDiamond and CoOkie :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] sponge_worthy:
In case anyone is intersted, I've opened a thread for my Matrix theme that I'm working on. I need help deciding on CHT2 Icons.

Ok. So I was able to fix the dialer install problem via cab. I think I found a DLL for the Leo (HD2) so hopefully it fixed the problem you users were having. Let me know if they work.

Hi sponge_worthy,

super work so far as i can see. Very good job.

One question from me:

it is possible that you can give me a copy from the black grill for my clock background? But with out the text. Please see my uploaded sample.

Sure. Here you go.

[Windows Mobile Themes] ghost0815:
Just a question. Will these themes work on my XDA Atom Exec WM6.5?
[Windows Mobile Themes] sponge_worthy:
I'm not familiar with that ROM. Is it a Sense driven ROM? It should work I think. I should qualify that by saying I've only tested it on one device - Tilt2 which is a GSM device.

The Sense, S2U2, psShutXP, Resco should work with anything. The taskbar may or may not work with WM6.5. I'm using WM6.5.3 but I think it might work with WM6.5. I've installed one prepared for 6.5 on my device and it worked fine.

However, don't hold me responsible for any damage - but I'd be surprised if you couldn't just uninstall if you have a problem.
[Windows Mobile Themes] cashmoney121:
Sponge_worthy,

I am enjoying your work on my TP2. Its just sick that it all looks so good. The one problem I am having is in the phone dialer. When i am dialing a number, I can't see them on my screen. Am I missing something on the install. I am using Energy Feb 12th 28244 sense2.5 cookie 2.0 Rom. I want to keep your dialer theme, any suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Themes] sponge_worthy:
Let me make sure that the correct version is on the sight. I had that problem a while ago and it was a mistake in one image. I fixed it because its fine now on my phone.
[Windows Mobile Themes] cashmoney121:
I tried to load the cab again and it still not showing all the numbers. When there is not a match in my directory is when the problems shows. It shows the first few numbers. Thanks for your help.
