Is there a catch to making a skin for the Wizard WM5 that can use Smartdialing? I for one love the Smartdialing feature and find that it would be a little inconvenient. What I don't like are the buttons along the side of the default skin, that I never use) taking up all that valuable real estate. Is there a skin that will use Smartdialing and get rid of those buttons?

Check out the upgrading forum - there's a patched version of the smartdialing app that works with some skins. Last I looked at them, there was still some minor issues with overlaying text on some buttons, but that may have been resolved.
Hi I have made a fixed version of the black Vista Dial Pad for Smart Dial.
all the nasty "artifacts" are gone looks much better
You need to have eten dialpad installed then just copy these files into your \windows folder on your device.
Some files are in rom so you will need to copy them from your device using resco or total commander.
The main "dial screen" has a small light brown square in the top right corner, This is so that you can see the Headset icon if using a BT headset. If you don't like it I can post the plain version.
Enjoy.
All due credit to original artists I only modified their work.

OK so now I have the htc touch 6 tab worling well theme looks nice change icons looks really well, Now how in the heck can we change the ugly dialpad in treo 750, I know about the registry settings , but does not work in wm6. Does anyone know how to change the dialpad either to the htc or even the standard wm6 instead of the treo one. I will even take the location of the dialpad graphic file so I can change my self.
Search the forum. NOT upgrade forum. It was described (way with disabling some plugins - ActiveCall if I remember good)...
I found it, woo hoo: I used this one: http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=148000
It works perfectly. Now does anyone have an htc home dialpad skin that works on our phones?
Thanks for the post fleadog99, just followed the instructions and now I have a dial skin that I can live with.
does anyone know how we can change the skin? like an HTC like skin. All skins I have tried it only changes background but not the buttons or anything else.
Nothing considered to the others contribution in a land of wonderfull brains, but here is my 2c
Playing with image files in \windows\ dir, I've discovered that a lot can be changed with no effort only playing with these files.
I've made a test (attached both .psd file and result) with the phonepad input method.
As you can see the result is all blue, but if you use it, the ABC/T9 and 123/SYM are still grey: that's because you need to edit also the 2 specific files.
You can also mod other sh*t like (never tried):
- phonepad = Dialer_Normal_L.bmp and Dialer_pressed_L.bmp
- Endkey
- save to contact
- add word (to t9)
- call log buttons
- incoming calls
- and more...
I've also tried to change the green highlight in manila home, but no luck. even if I changed all the green bars I found, nothing changed.
And, worst, I didn't find the background of the other tabs
cheers
Thanks heaps for this! I really love the keypad style for when you enter the SIM pin (Black and green). Will try to get the same style for phone pad when I get home from work.
When you find out how to change the green highlight let me know.

If you find that out that would be great as well
btw the green png files I've changed in blu are the ones of the selection of input (phonepad, keyboard ecc) and of the comm manager
I try to change the dialpad, but, after software reset, nothing changed.
I went through a lot of themes and pulled the FONT files!
Have fun!!
Special thanks to NisseDILLIGAF and this post for showing me the files.
Hope you don't mind I made a cab for the black and white to be able to uninstall easier
I haven't tested them yet, so let me know if there is a problem.
any way to get blue cabbed up as well?
Post #2 UPDATED
thank you!
does this work for all the tabs?
Hello,
I've try the cab files.
I put the file in the internal storage, i execute the cab, i insall in the device.
I do a soft reset, and there is nothing to change.
I've try with the 3 cab files.
Can you help me ?
thank you
Has anyone preview pictures?
I need a cab file only for the home tab, because there I change the wallpaper, so I need to change the font color.
-> the 77faa36d_manila only changes alarm font in Home tab and font Settings Tab. What is with "Calendar, Call History ..." in Home Tab?
For me, when i execute the cab ,it isn't change home tab for the text "calls","calendar", this text is white again so that i execute black cab file.
But for example when i go to message tab, the text messages are black.
i want that the text on home tab change also.
The cab changes the text in all the other screens except the Home screen. For some reason, on the contacts screen, all the text disappeared when I was using the blueish font cab. I just uninstalled it and reinstalled Manila once again. My phone doesn't like most of these cabs because my Manila always gets messed up and I end up spending the next 20mins or so uninstalling/reinstalling to get my flip clock back.
I wish there was a cab that was more (for lack of a better term) 'hotswappable' so I could change things on the fly... without uninstalling/reinstalling. You know, just go into the specific program, select what font color I want to use, hit apply (or something) and viola! I'm done and back to other things.
strongly that it is possible to have a cab file that allow to change color text Home screen because i can't to put the wallpaper that i want.
I wait with impatience.
In installed the black font cab and everything worked except for the calender tab. And for some reason my weather tab just said text at the top and didnt show any weather. So i uninstalled the cab and weather was back and the font stayed black. So my only question is how to i default my font color back when i decide to change my background to a dark color and want the white and grey default?
I have the white font cab for a back up incase but if anyone knows that would be awesome.
I got the same problem with the cabs. I installed the white cab and the weather was gone. I removed it and it was back. Also, when installed my icons under the contact person picture (such as the home, send sms, office, short cuts are gone) Thanks.
The font on some tabs is changed but TF3D keep crashing, tabs aren't loading and the soft keys are getting stuck after going on tabs.
Thanks anyway but its just not working for me
Thanks, Chris

I totally agree with you.
Anyway, could you guys make a red color. please......
Is there a way to make the background for all the icons for TF3D the same like the home screen
Guys, did you succeed with changing home screen font? I need all the text (or at least the appointment details) to turn white. Is that possible?
This doen't work with manila 2.1.
I managed to change some text in some of the manila files but it's hard to find the right files to change...
does anybody know why these fonts are not working?
or can anybody tall me where to get these manila 2.5 files in multiple colors?
I've tried to above 3 cabs, these did not work after installing and softreset
also replacing the manila files itself did not do anything at all
Thanks a lot
HTC TOPAZ (Touch Diamond 2)
NhatHoa ROM 6.5.3.11.3 NLD 28-01-2010
Manila 2.5 1922.2911
Radio 3.45.25.21
I tried it on the stock 6.1 sprint tf3d and it didnt change the home screen but changed all the other screens to black. I just want the home screen changed black because we have a photo on there and you cant see the white text. all the other screens I want to stay white...
Hi, this is my first post - so I hope I've not made any mistakes/bads...
I thought I'd share my first PocketCM Keybaord v0.14 skin called "Black n Green" with you all.
I created it because I've gone for a black theme on my kaiser with green as the highlight colour for selected text/buttons/menu item etc..
To use it you will need to install PocketCM Keyboard v0.14 (available freely from the author's own website, go google it).
To install the skin:
1. Unzip and copy the two files to the directory PCMKeyboard is installed in on your PPC (\Program Files\PCMKeyboard by default).
2. Select PCM Keyboard as your keyboard (use arrow next to keyboard symbol)
3. Go to the options for PCMKeyboard (On keyboard: press & hold enter then slide finger to Opt. button)
4. Select Eng black_n_green for the layout
5. Select black_n_green for the skin
6. OK
It's QVGA, should work with any 240px wide screen (I think). I haven't got a VGA device (using a Tytn II) so haven't done a VGA version. It works in landscape too, although I use the Tytn's keyboard then
I'm thinking about making the shift key bigger (by making the delete key smaller)...
> > U P D A T E < <
Many thanks go to RR33 who has very kindly done the VGA conversion with the hres images I supplied. I've added the (W)VGA version to the ZIP in this post. Last screenshots are VGA
Hope you like it,
Karl.
Yeah PCMKeyboard is one of my favorite SIP and v0.14 is better than v0.2x to me
Very nice, keep up the good work
it would be nice to do a (W)VGA version : I can do it to complete your work if you want and if you have PNG in higher resolution than QVGA (it's not good to upsize pics from QVGA to WVGA as you know)
Official Link to PocketCM Keyboard v0.14 : HERE
Resources for (W)VGA conversion
Thanks RR33 for your kind words.
I've created the key.png and key1p.png for VGA resolution (assuming that the dimensions are doubled). For the QVGA skin I then used these to create the B/M/E parts... The rest are supplied as masks for alpha channel in the hi-res image (enter, shift, backspace).
I also put in some mod'd buttons with brighter reflections, but haven't tried them out. Also attached all as a ZIP.
I'm not going to create a VGA version as I have no way of testing it... but feel free to have a go.
ok, I'll make the (W)VGA port
Change of layout
I've just noticed that the layout doesn't include a '?'. I've updated the layout in the posted ZIP with a new layout and included a few other improvements so more symbols are accessible on a long press:
long SHIFT:
\|[]<>{}_~long comma:
!"£$%^&*()long full stop:
'/#@;:=?-+and a EURO SYMBOL from long £
hi
So here is the VGA-WVGA skin
I've modified 2 things
- shift symbol : I added a 2nd shift to show the difference when key is down
- internet symbol : earth instead of IE logo
Thanks RR33! I've updated the first post accordingly.
I like the idea of the second shift symbol, might put that into the QVGA version.
I now realise that I didn't give you a .?123 graphic or the feedback graphic in VGA... Anyone desperately need those? or is the RR33 conversion OK? (I can't check with the Tytn2 what it looks like).
I might also get rid of the .? and just have 123 for the symbol key...
huh...very strange, nothing happens if I tap the arrow beside the default keyboard, so I can't change it.
I know it is sounds like a noob question, but the last time I checked, it was possible to change keyboards this way...
Cheers,
Arnold

Well I've just rewrote .?123 with the same font and it looks good to me. You can downsize the 2 shift png for QVGA if you want (there is also a line to add into settings file in order to activate 2nd shift)

I know how to do it, but for some reason, nothing happens when I am tapping on the arrows next to the keyboard icon in the bottom of my screen. Very strange, as I used it often. Even after soft reset it is not working.
Cheers,
Arnold
ok, so try to activate PCMK14 with Ervius Sip Selector (keyboard selector) available HERE then reboot/soft reset your ppc
thanks so much for your help, that did the trick (what a great little program by the way). It looks great, I made a very dark phone style with sktools and was searching for this kind of skin, so....thanks a lot ;-)
Cheers,
Arnold
