This theme was made for PocketCM Contacts
I created the theme with the user in mind (I created 16 different variants so that the user has more control over the customization of this theme without having to change anything themselves)
V1.3 RELEASED!
changes include:
.....new smsbox in sms panel
.....compatible with v25+ PocketCM... to change separator stuff and sms picture see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2518478#post2518478
.....added option to fit sms to text (download the "settingsini for shrink fit.zip" and place the settings file in your PocketCM folder (not in a .zip file - by itself))
.....changed Alphabetical Separator slightly
.....SMS Image added in SMS view
.....
.....three options of shades (light, medium, dark) for contact detail panel included at the end of this post (drag whichever bg.png you want into the respective variant)
.....other minor fixes
.....blue updated(no screenshots, but it is just blue instead of HTC Touch Black)
....added pound symbol, euro symbol, kroner symbol, ".co.uk", ".dk", ".fr", ".es" to keyboard layout.. see post #53: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1979105#post1979105
(and post #7 which includes my keyboard skins and includes the above link as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1960134post#7)
Main features of this theme:
...... 16 different variants. This means there are four types of themes each with four different bubble types (see attached screens)
...... the four types are: I (Index with no info bar), _ (no index with no info bar), I In (index with info bar), and In (no index with info bar).
...... the four types of bubbles are: GA (Gradiented Arrows), GNA (Gradiented No Arrows), NGA (Non Gradiented Arrows), NGNA (Non Gradiented No Arrows)
The first post will be a preview of the variants in a .zip file and different shades for your detail page (see green text below) , then the next four will be organized by variant type.. the first being _, the next I, the next In, and the next I In.
(The seventh post is my keyboard skin).
It goes along nicely with my contact theme. PCM keyboard works with PCM contact. If you are having issues (only spaces showing up) I have a fix which is on that post.
Enjoy!
Special thanks goes out to DvTonder who helped finalize the settings.ini file! And of course tene for his AMAZING contact application!
also, thanks goes to stones over on PocketCM Forums who sent me the majority of blue graphics which made making the blue theme much easier/faster for me

the preview really doesn't do justice to the theme, I had to whip it up quickly and accidentally shrunk the image down too far..
if you prefer to hide contact pictures in your All Contacts and Contacts with SMS page, then go to post #15. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371837&page=2post#15)
Attached below:
...a screenshot (preview of theme variants.zip)
...IMPORTANT!!.. there are 6 bg.png images attached as well. They allow you to change the shade of the contact detail page from lightest, medium, to darkest.
..........If you are using a theme with info bar, download the "bg for info bar only" and drag whichever shade you want into the variant's .zip
..........If you are using a theme without info bar, download the "bg for no info bar only" and drag whichever shade you want into the variant's .zip
if you accidentally drag a bg.png meant for, say, a variant with info bar into a variant without an info bar, the contact detail page will look weird, so just drag the correct bg.png into its corresponding location.
hope that makes sense..
Enjoy!
Choose wisely! (Or choose all of them and continuously switch between them.. it will take a longer time to get bored of the graphics in this theme I hope!)
My preferred theme variant:
----> I InGNA or I InNGNA
I forgot to include the star.png for some reason. So, to enable the favorite star, DOWNLOAD THE "star.png" BELOW and edit these lines in your settings.ini file with notepad:
## Large favorite button
image.favoriteimage.picture.background=fillimage(star.png)
image.favoriteimage.nopicture.background=none
image.favoriteimage.box=-76p,93p,-60p,109p
Variant _ (No Index, No Info Bar)
Here are the four themes with no index and no info bar:
GA (Gradiented Arrows)
GNA (Gradiented No Arrows)
NGA (Non Gradiented Arrows)
NGNA (Non Gradiented No Arrows)
I do not yet have screenshots of the blue variants.. everything is blue instead of HTC Touch Black
Variant I (Index without Info Bar)
Here are the four themes with Index and no info bar:
I GA (Gradiented Arrows)
I GNA (Gradiented No Arrows)
I NGA (Non Gradiented Arrows)
I NGNA (Non Gradiented No Arrows)

Variant In (No Index, with Info Bar)
Here are the four themes with no index and info bar:

Keyboard Skin and Layout
I found a fix for anyone using an HTC Sprint Touch or any other device that does not allow PCMKeyboard to work with PCMContacts.

Try this:
The problem is XT9. Try to disable it with this change in the registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e0010409]
"Layout Text"="COMP IME"
"Ime File"="\windows\compime.dll"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This works, I've tested it!.. now you can enjoy Tene's amazing keyboard with his similarly amazing contact app!
you'll need an app like totalcommander to edit your registry

to get into your registry go into //
HKLM stands for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

The layout of my keyboard theme is like this:
...hold down any vowel (or the letter c) and you will get accent marks plus the capitalized version of that letter
...holding down any letter on the keyboard capitalizes that letter
...hold down @123: ? ! ' $ @ : ; ( ) *
...hold down comma: / ' http//:www. .com
...hold down space: 1234567890
...hold down period: Tab Home " - ...
...hold down ie icon: https://www. .net .org www.
...hold down -: _ (this is an underscore symbol)
...hold down /: \

if you would like I am willing to make other keyboard skins, so just request and I will consider doing them.
if you would prefer an iPhone keyboard that is as close to the real iPhone's keyboard as you are going to get with this application.. check out this skin: http://pocketcm.com/phorum/read.php?14,9435
If you would like a lighter skin that runs very fast due to small file size, check out this skin:
http://pocketcm.com/phorum/read.php?14,9480
open the attached zip file, drag the contents out onto your desktop or somewhere else on your computer. Then sync with your mobile device and place "Eng htctoucher.layout" and "htctoucher.skin" in your PCM Keyboard folder in Program Files.
Also attached is a slightly larger version of the layout (2 pixels larger vertically, which provides more room between each key)
Enjoy!
this theme is just... awesome. i don't know why you seem to like the themes without SMS arrows, i like them because the make the bubbles.. pop. ok right when i wrote that, i realized that i have to add in: pun NOT intended. haha. i'm using I In GA, and greatly prefer gradient over nongradient.
anyway, a couple requests from me
1)can you darken the contact info box? it's white, while everything else is gray/black/silver.
2)the index bar letters seem blurry, although it's not your fault, since i can see you got it from HTC Random Access. still, maybe you can look into that. not important, though.
apart from that, this is a really fast and really thorough theme. ironically, it replaced DvTonder's HTC-ish Classic as my default theme.
Really one hell of a nice theme u made, many thanx
Wow Simply the BEST
Thanx again

Regarding the index bar, It is rendered correctly (not blurred) with the variants without the top info bar. I will remake one for the top info bar. And it is not from HTC Random Access. The background of the index is actually straight from my HTC Touch device, however I had to redo the text to fit within the parameters of PocketCM. I still have the .psd file for it, so I will whip you (and everyone else using the variants with top info bar) up a bg.png (name of the background file) that renders the text without blurriness.
Attached is the bg file you need (one for with info bar and one for without.. choose accordingly)
And also 3 different shades of grey for your contact detail (also they are split into folders for with info bar and without, you must choose the correct one for your variant.. e.g. InGA requires the one with info bar, IGA requires the one with no info bar, etc.)

My bubble are not quite bubbles, there is a slight line that sticks out instead of of the pointy talk arrow...Can I fix this???
Please help!!!
I so want this to work 100% as it is the very best theme ever!!!!
Also, if anyone is interested in these themes and do not use "Show contact picture" then these versions are for you!
They move the sms counters to the very right of the screen, regardless if you have contact pictures for that contact or not.
I never have the contact pictures displayed in mine, so I like to justify all the sms counters to the right. If you are the same.. choose whichever variant you like and download the .zip on this post and the next post.

Please tell me which variant you are using so I can take a look at what you are talking about.
If there is a problem I will fix it as soon as you tell me which variant you are having the problem on.

this is EXACTLY what i been looking for... you kinda p0wned everyone elses glory lol
j/k, anyone who contributes to this thread is great in my book... however, i do have one request...
if you could post some bubble variants for colors... itd be perfect... i love the blue, but i just set a theme up for my g/f and now she wants pink or red... just a thought... if not, keep up the good work.
I'm glad you like my design!
I would be willing to make more colors.. could you describe more fully which bubbles you would like in different colors, and whether you would like the sent and received to be colored or just the received as it is now.. also what colors.. pink for sent and red for received? not my kind of thing but if you request it I will do it.
thanks for your feedback
htctoucher
this is the best theme ive ever seen.. ive waited for it since youve posted the preview. its so nice!
i will give the contact box with your colour-variations a try!
THANKS THANKS THANKS THANKS THANKS!

sorry about not posting this here at XDA, i still wuv yous guys!! im a frequent at ppcgeeks. Without further ado. Thanks to Bob55 for the transparent icon tip, and Buzzard for the motivation. Without further ado..
NOTE TO ALL USERS
This theme like many others may require some tweaking and tinkering because not all devices and os installs are the same. Wisbar theming is not for the noob at heart, so if youre looking for a quick setup try itask or grumps iphone. These theme require basic knowledge of using wisbar products. Thanks.
Reminder to those having button pressing/execution of apps
When everythings been tweaked and adjusted to your needs, tap/hold lock all items on the page. Tap/hold lock all items on the dock. Exit out of Author mode

**v0.4 Update "Transparent"**
**v0.4 Update Notes**
- iPhone .tsk updated
- All icons are now transparent .tga
- Added light WA3 theme bundled with the Classic Dark
- Working Clock defaulted in home screen
- Backgrounds now supported with transparent icon sets
- Dock now supported in leopard theme (look out for future dock packages by Torx-Tevelopment)
-----------------------------------
**v0.3 Update Telco Icons added and misc adjustments**
**v0.3 Update Notes**
- Several icons were updated in height, size, and color, telco icons added to "iPhone" folder so delete the original and replace with 0.3. Go into settings/wisbar theme and/or delete the old 0.1 or 0.2, and install and find 0.3
- Icons are custom2(tmobile), custom3(at&t), custom4(sprint). Goto Wisbar Settings/Taskbar and choose your carrier in the "Button Name", Make item visible, and Choose Align LEFT.
- Blue Batt charge icon still exists, it was just fully charged in picture taking.
- Also a new WA3 version has just been released for Nov 13, v3.1.0.3, so make sure you update for the heck of it!
- Enjoy!
-----------------------------------
**v0.2 Update, Landscape added!**
**v0.2 Update Notes**
- Place the "iPhone_Landscape" folder in the "windows/themes/desktop" folder
A new landscape carbon springboard and landscape black background were added to the package of graphics in the Portrait folder. The landscape theme calls on the graphics in the portrait folder.
- For best results, change the phatphinger layout display to "Phat(240x320)+145.wpl". Since adding the landscape it doesnt fit quite right, this layout size looks good in both portrait and fits well in landscape.
-----------------------------------
Please read the readme.txt
Theres very important installation instructions regarding the order of installing the apps, wa3, and wad.
Feel free to throw out a few icon requests if you need some custom icons made for your apps. Ive slimmed it all down to the bare essentials to be space saving and fast loading. Buttons are "tactile" for that feedback feeling, wa3 buttons are tactile as well, and nice loading animation created too. All icons are included as well.
Enjoy and feel free to post bugs or general feedback.

mate is there any way you can make a software instead of using WA3/WAD? WA3/WAD freeze my phone alot, dunt no y!!!
btw new icons
Awsome
Hi Torx,
This by far the best creation for iphone theme for WAD/WA3. This is far more stable than 0.3. and i am a fan of yours. I am on Wizard and this theme is running for last one week. Ofcourse its not full proof. after a day or day & half you need to re-boot the PPC as the memory is too low (this is more so a windows problem), sometime the system becomes very slow but regains the original form after 5-10 min without any apparant reasons, during this time CPU is 57-65% used. The battery drain is more with WAD/WA3 running. This may be taken care of by them.
One issue i want your help is how to back-up the current configiration and file so that if have to reset or update with new ROM then my theme can be restored with minimal efforts and tweaking.
Just wanted to say I have settled on this for my Hermes theme. It is a fantastic piece of software. I am still setting up my phone. Any M$Office icons to go with this?
Some little Problems
Hi there
Great theme, looking really good... BUT ^^
- My Phone SMS Email counter is blocked to 0, and I don't understand I too fix this
- I read on your post (maybe I missunderstood) that the clock in the home screen was suppose to display the real time (I mean on the icon)? If that is the case, then it's not working for me...
Can anybody help me?
PS: HTC TyTN II, WM6, and outlook is my e-mail client
cheers and congrats again ^^

You can set that up yourself. Add the empty clock icon from one of the themes, add custom text %T12% or %T24% (your choice) and you will have a working clock...
I notice the volume, battery and telco icons are not transparent when I try to change the background color. Can you make them transparent?
PS: this is e best iphone skin i have been searching for so long! thx!
EDIT: Figured it out, needed a reinstall of WAD
Is there a VGA iPhone theme anywhere?
I have looked everywhere...i think... but no success....
PLEASE!!!....tell me I did not look anywhere....
You can try Winterface by VITO software:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QNQURO9C
It's an iPhone-like interface that works with VGA resolutions.
Carrier Icon
If anybody wants it, I've got a custom Verizon icon for the taskbar in Torx's WAD/WA3 theme. I've also extracted some other icons if needed.

Creating iPhone icons
I was hoping that someone could give me some guidance please on using the .psd templates for creating my own icons for Torx iPhone skin?
As an example of what I have done: I am using Gimp but am somewhat a novice user. I have loaded the icon for eWallet as one layer and overlaid the blank_template.psd file on top. This looks nearly correct and I get the lovely shading of the template over the top of the original icon but does not quite mask out the Torx button shape as the template would suggest. Instead each corner still has some grey pixels.
I save the image as a .png file then convert it to a .tga with AlphaConv.exe.
Loading the .tga file into WAD works fine but I still see the grey pixels in the corners so it is not a "clean" icon image. So near yet so far...
Does anyone have ideas of what else I need to do?

With the help and inspiration from Bluemetalaxe and many others here, I was able to create some icons for UL. All the icons are 48x48 pixels, which the size can be altered in the UL settings. Up to five 48x48 icons can be placed side by side and flushed on the bottom of your today screen.
What I suggest is creating a new "UL Icon" folder on your SD card, so that you can save and use as many icons as you'd like, without worrying about memory.
I also posted some PNG images and icons here as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378260&page=4 post # 37, but from now on I'll be posting my releases here.
The application I use to make the icons (Icofx) can be located in post # 13. Also if you have any icon request, please let me know.

A brief tutorial on using and installing UL icons:
Bottom Task Bar: If you and when you want to disable the bottom task bar in your today screen, download and install dcinobar.exe, and place it in your windows\startup folder in your device, then reboot.
Scroll Bar in Today Screen: If you and when you want to disable the scroll bar on your today screen, (so you can place your UL icons on the bottom), go into the registry settings of your device, (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\Ultimatelaunch\" and change "Type" from "4" to "5”. This value locks the plugin to the today screen effectively, thus disabling (removing) the today screen scroll bar (then reboot so the setting will stick). Special note … you have to also Uncheck all your “today” plugins, which is located in your settings/today/Items folder, you want nothing but icons on your today screen like the pics in the first post.
Icons on the bottom of the screen: If and when you want the UL tabs/icons to sit against the bottom of the today screen, you have to go into the UL settings, then go into the “Display” folder like in the picture above. Pllease note the settings I currently have. Checking the "Fixed Plugin-height" box will enable you to adjust the space between the top and bottom tabs. The higher the number, the more space between and vice versa get it? Good!!. Now also make you choose "bottom" in the "Tab Headers position" drop down box as well.
The quickest and easiest way (for me) of placing these icons on my deivce is through active sync. Now go into your "Program Files/Ultimate Launch\Icons" folder in your device. This is where you place the icons.
(1) go into your UL settings on your phone, (for example) in the "Tab" folder,
(2) Highlight the first item and hit "change" which is the 3rd button on the right,
(3) Go to "tab" again, and you'll see XP-Icon button. Hit that and it'll browse your device/storage card. Look for where icon you placed it, which was in Program Files\Ultimate Launch\Icons folder. There you will find the icons.
Also remember, you can assign two images to one (.exe) an application, "Normal" and "Pushed'. This is a cool feature many other launchers don't have.
If anyone comes across anything significant I missed and should mention, please don't hesitate to tell me, and I'll update the tutorial.

Good Idea
Below is the app I use to create/edit icons. Basically using this is fairly simple. If I can do it, you or anyone can too, lol.
I'm still learning how to use the application because the original picture size varies. Also, I included some ready-made icons as well (some of which are pictured above). Hopefully, this will spark many to create unusual and interesting new icons
Ya Boi D, I'm not sure if you're looking for something like this. You can see it on my today screen, and it's included in the random icon file. I'll keep searching. You know have the tools to create some yourself and share.
Very nice icons - Thanks
ico not as mamy as in the finger
I downloaded the summerboard zip and found few icos not exist in tne zip shown in your posted finger. How can i get them?Thanks
awesome! thanks for the great collections.
all i can say is wow ive probably downloaded over 300 icons for UL and none of them even hold a candle to these looks like im not gona sleep for a few days i hope i can figure out how to convert them or i might not ever leave my computer. but ive got no job and 2 cases of beer ill get em done thanks for some killer icons
To all, I'm glad you like the icons,
The "Summerboard" zip has been updated with the 4 missing icons. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Several icons on the bottom of my today screen are game icons, which I'm currently working on. I have 19 of them and will post them (in icon form) tomorrow at the latest.
is there a tutorial on how to install the skins?
first time using UL xD
Hi!
Excellent icons but can you you explain how you did the firts screen shots like iphone without windows task bars?
I use too UL but i still have the task bar...
Thanks
In the interest of making it simpler for you all to find my stuff easier I am making this thread.. also then I can fit more into my signature!
Here goes..
PocketCM Contacts Themes (download here):
My first theme is here
.....It has the colors of the HTC Touch, four different bubble types (for SMS), and 16 different variants. Check out the preview screen, or just go to the theme page and check it out there.
My Pointui theme is here
.....This is a theme to match the Pointui Interface - comes both in blue and black. Check it out! It has some really nice design features and integrates very well into Pointui. Preview (Black)... no preview for blue, but it is just like the Pointui Blue version.
My Bubble theme is here
.....I had a little fun with this theme. I wanted to make a theme that felt solid and complete with some nice graphics and fun animations, this is the result! Preview
My IMPROVED (version 2.0) Bubble theme is here
.....this is another version of the above theme. It has a slightly cleaner view to the Contacts pages and SMS view.. check them both out and choose whichever you like more (or both )! Preview on same page (in post)
My HTC Touch theme is here
.....I made this to integrate with my HTC Touch. It is very simple. Preview
My Pidgin/MANILA-styled theme is here
.....I made this to integrate with this theme. It is quite clean and simple, with HTC Manila-styled buttons. Preview
My IMPROVED Pidgin/MANILA-styled theme (v2.0) is here
.....This version includes alphabetical separators in contact view, a new top bar, cleaner SMS page, cleaner Contact view page. I also changed the scroll bar so that it takes up less of the screen space, but is still the same size (I decreased its margin).. Check it out! Preview on PocketCM (post#2), or just look in browser at the link above (XDA).
My WM7-INSPIRED THEME is here
.....I liked the look of some previews I saw of wm7, so thought I would make a WMtheme (found here). This PocketCM skin fits nicely with my WM7-inspired WMTheme (see sig). Preview at link.
My GLOSS THEME (v3) is here
.....My newest theme; a clean, professional looking theme as a part of my newest WM theme! Preview at link.

iphone skin
Just so I dont have to start a new thread on pcm forums or here...
Here is a new iphone skin I created... looks very similar to the real one!!

updated already.. fixed pressed buttons and improved feedback icon (third screen in screenshot) - the "!"
the bigger version is about 8 pixels taller
Enjoy!

What do you use to do the skin? I'm using i780 (320x320) and would like to see if I can modify the screen larger. Someone with the i780 was reporting having issues having the font too small.
P/S: I know i780 comes with a qwerty keyboard, but sometimes a combination of keyboard and tapping on the screen is a lethal combination.
I use photoshop for the images and notepad for the settings file
turn the .skin file into a .zip file and you will find all the files you need to change!
I released a larger version .. see if that is what you were looking for

I dont get that... thats very odd.. maybe try a soft reset?
did you do this:
unzip contents of .zip onto desktop
move over to PCMKeyboard folder on device
select layout and skin in options?
hope that helps
htctoucher
soft reset fixed it. awesome i'm glad someone finally did it right and made the letters in caps like the iphone.
thanks..
Excellent work. Thanks
im using the bigger theme and it doesnt look too good in landscape. any fix? other than that its a great skin!

I cant change how it looks in landscape mode (that is just how the keyboard software handles landscape)
In order to have capital letters I had to be able to hide the letters that the keyboard draws underneath the images, which meant I had to make the capital letters a square image to cover it.
The only problem is that the way the keyboard handles landscape, it uses the tile effect, meaning the white of the capital letters doesnt match..
cant really do anything about that..
sorry!

I downloaded the the iphone keyboard not the big one but the regular one. In your photo I see the space bar with a comma to the left and a period to the right. the one I downloaded from this page does not have this the space bar is wider. also the number page is compleatly different. Do you have the original keyboard skinn the you have the screen shot of?
Ed...
you have to use the .layout file I also included
you are probably using the default layout
hope that helps
htctoucher
nice work!!!
Excellent keyboard skin. I don't care about landscape. It's brilliant, way better than any of the others, better than the HTC stuff. Well done, thanks.
this is kinda off-topic but how do i edit a .skin file?

NEW VERSION HERE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624874
tacchan23Black
I wanted to use a theme with black background also on the newly (to Omnia2 at least^^) ported WM 6.5.3. (as the Samsung black theme is not working anymore on the new WM versions)
So I made a mix of many themes along with some custom made images to get a full black theme with item selectors in blue and some glossy effects.
Details v7:
- WM 6.5.x (but it should/may work also on wm 6.5 other than the bottom bar of course)
- (W)VGA and (W)QVGA
- black blackground
- 7 themes (.tsk) to choose different styles of softkeybar and taskbar (details in the screenshots below):
tacchan23Black 1: complitely black bars without any border with Manila style buttons
tacchan23Black 2: glossy black bars without any border with Manila style buttons
tacchan23Black 3: complitely black bars without any border with "squared taskbar" style buttons
tacchan23Black 4: glossy black bars without any border with "squared taskbar" style buttons
tacchan23Black Bordered1: bordered bars in black
tacchan23Black Bordered2: bordered bars with glossy effect
tacchan23Black Bordered3: same as the above but with different style of bottom bar
Details v7large:
as above but with taller listview selectors (same size as ClassicBlue theme) for extreme finger-firendlyness and also bigger popup menu selector (half way size between ClassicBlue theme and my standard version theme)
Details Add-Ons v7:
- Add-Ons to customize the colors of item selectors, checkboxes and pushed buttons
Colors available: White, WhiteGlossy, Red, RedGlossy, Green, GreenGlossy, BlueGlossy, Azure, AzureGlossy, Aquamarine, AquamarineGlossy, Purple, PurpleGlossy, LightGreen, LightGreenGlossy
- Add-On to restore the default bottom bar icons
- Also available a black skin for the default WinMo DialPad
- Download the Zip file containing all the addons and install the choosen customization cab (need to soft reset or change theme to apply changes)
Changelog:
-v7 and v7large:
Added two new styles of softkeybar buttons: tacchan23Black 3 and tacchan23Black 4
New colored pivot background image (also other colors trough AddOns)
Renamed existing softkeybar themes
Replaced the BordedBar buttons
-v6large:
taller listview selectors (same size as ClassicBlue theme) for extreme finger-firendlyness and also bigger popup menu selector (half way size between ClassicBlue theme and my standard version theme)

I like it.
qvga please.
Good themes bro. A pure black with soft glow. I like it!
Thank you very much!
tacchan23, I really love your work.
Just one request, if possible? Is it possible to make the taskbar all black? Because in the 2 themes you made, the upper right hand corner of the taskbar is not pure black. It's almost grayish in appearance.
If you could make one which is all black for both top and bottom bars, I would truly appreciate it a lot.
Thank you!
Added two new versions.

Maybe later I'll change v1 to a pure black if I manage to get a black bottom bar too.
In the meantime you can replace the taskbar.png in My Documents\Themes\tacchan23black with the one attached here (and soft reset).
thank you. very nice.

Thanks a lot! I've done it and it works great.
But I'd appreciate a full "all black/pure black taskbar and bottom bar" version cab later when you have the time.
Thanks again for sharing your great work.
Hi tacchan23, would it be possible to make this with the item selector green (standard windows default green), instead of blue? I'd appreciate it a lot.
Thank you.
New v3 released
Anybody tried it and faced problems with the bottom bar?
Work very geat on the Htc Touch Pro , thanks for this theme

I'm using the v3 you posted. Everything seems to be working well. What problems are you worried about?
Again, thanks for sharing!
i have some small bugs would be great if fix possible
-in skyfire address bar all is black so its not seen what is typed
-notifications shown black background (screenshot 1)
-some items unseen unless selected(screenshot 2&3)
and bug i have not sure its because of theme but i suspect it:
even after uninstalling black theme and setting back to original some places are gray instead of white, example notification in screenshot 1 after reverting to default white theme the black square becomes gray instead to white.

screen2&3: which application is that exactly?
screen1: the notifications look like this (screenshot) to me
skyfire: for me the address bar background is in black and the typed text is white (you have the newest skyfire version?)
You using WM 6.5, not 6.5.x right? maybe some of the problems may come from that... if anyone else is facing similar problems (with 6.5 I think) let me know please.

in screen 2,3 its resco 2010 b2 registry editor>export reg file.
i think notification is graphic file maybe you know which one so i can skin it?
i use 6.5 build 21884 and newest skyfire i think its cause you got samsung (if i understood correct) and samsungs apps (like notification manager) maybe work better with some things...
now when i'm setting back to white some places becomes gray what i need to change for this to become white?

I'll try resco registry later.
About skyfire and the notifications it's strange... maybe it depends on 6.5 vs 6.5.x. When I try to go back to a "white background" theme it's working correctly and there is no gray areas.
And sadly I really have no idea how to solve it
At least I'd like to know if anyone else is facing the same problem (with 6.5 or 6.5.x) on non Samsung devices.
Btw, v4 released with some new bars to choose.
for the original theme credits to JCKOTZE
On 26/5 I updated every theme with some settings adjustmens (the most noticeble is a little increase of the indented area and so a more WP7 proportioned icon grid) and added few wallpapers inside icons folder.
Since I've seen only fully black backgrounds in all WP7 UI (really boring) , I put a themed wallpaper as default background, but you can easily switch to another one of your choice or to a solid color.

INSTALLATION1 - Install a WM metro skin
2 - Install iPhoneToday
3 - Copy contents of attached "WP7 Theme" folder into iPhoneToday program folder; black, red and GTX theme here,
4 - Restart Iphonetoday
NOTES- Added clean screen (last picture)
- this theme is made for WVGA-VGA devices, for different screen sizes you need to edit (not necessary all)
settings->screen->icon width
settings->screen->Offsetts->R value (it's the indented area and affects the horizontal icons spacing)
settings->screen->Text Settings->text height (it's the vertical spacing between icons)- to switch to a solid color background go to options->wallpaper-> delete the selected wallpaper name and leave the selection blank, then select a color from the bottom selector.
- Check out iPhoneToday thread for more commands to associate with icons (e.g. start menu,custom rotation angle, soft reset, open a specific email account... ecc.)
- If you install iPT as "today plugin", you can use nueNoBar to hide bottom bar , I quickly tested on WM6.5.5 and works, but can't say about battery draining, I prefer to have a metro bottom bar
- I suggest to use uTask to make this UI smarter
Please attach here your own icons sets
theme is great, how do you get the contact hub to animate or show the pictures of your contacts ??

Click to expand...

you should check in iPhoneToday thread, I don't remember if animated images are supported, to get your contact pictures you have to edit the icon image
thank you, i will check it to see if animated contact hubs are supported. great job and amazing work
I add here a new version of icons.xml , works for all theme colors .
Now if iPhoneToday is srcolled, leads to clean screen (to appreciate your wallpapers) with only visible time,date,notifications.
In fact are icons, without images, and if pressed nothing happens, (to delete notification you have to scroll up and use a visible icon).
If you want to have this without overwrite your own icons.xml edit iPT settings and add icons as in last picture example.
i couldnt find anything regarding animated hubs in the thread, is there a script that can do this ?
WM metro skins
These WM 6.5.x skins are based on Sir sternas work
More green theme
edited 2 icons, if someone doesn't like the red versions on green theme.

sorry but I've only a wvga device, you ,or another qvga user, could try editing the settings.xml (it should be all in there) to fit the theme on your device ,and upload it here
more skins
a standard WP7 skin by nickschot ,a blue dark based on jeffrey2000 ipad skin and a green dark from kenchan2009
Ooh... I don't know how to edit the setting.xml... I'll wait other QVGA user(s)... anyone?

you can do it directly from iPhoneToday settings, if the iPT icon is not displayed on your QVGA screen jus press for a couple of seconds on the screen -in an area without icons- it will appear a menu-> chose options-> screen and try different icon width and offsets values
Yeaaah...! that's work... Thank You.
I just copy the WP7 to the iPhoneToday... the icon width change itself to 90. Before this i just change the icon & set the icon width but the icon placed on the middle of the screen. With your Setting.xml my icon is left indent... look very nice, once again Thank You So Much.

awesome theme way to go my new fave, how hard would it be to make a live weather tile? or message or phone calls show 0 until you get a call and the tile changes not the bubble pop up

hi, this is not possible I think, check on iPhoneToday thread, cause this UI displays only simple icons, not true tiles

same as above, is just a phone icon, notifications come from windows OS.
If you don't like bubbles you can change settings to display only numbers:
settings->bubbles->type=notif image=bubbles\notif .
I setted bubbles cause I find them more noticeable and eye candy than a plain number
very nice, thanks
