htctoucher PocketCM Contacts Black and Blue Point UI Theme, v.20b

I have recently been using Pointui (the newest version.. you can get it here: http://pointui.com/) and thought it would be nice to have my contact app match my home screen and everything else of Pointui.
So.. here it is!
Update:
.....For different bubble types, go to post #8! (here)
.....Landscape phonepad issue fixed.
.....There are now TWO versions.. Black and Blue
There is no screenshot for the blue version (had no time), but it is all the same as the black theme except for the color changes to match the blue of Pointui.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Important to know in order to use this theme:
........new layout of settings panel means that you must hold down the upper left hand settings cog to get to the settings panel. It will load slowly the first time you do it, however after that it is instant.
........press the upper left hand settings cog to get the phonepad.
........press the upper right hand arrow to get to the filterlist (main contact, contact with sms, contact by business, favorite contacts, etc). This is only in the Favorites view, the All Contacts view, and the Contacts with SMS view. The arrow is Cancel and Back button in all other pages.
........the lower bar is the button that takes you between Contacts with SMS and All Contacts. If you find it too difficult to press it (I have an HTC Touch so it is very easy), you can always just press the upper right hand arrow to navigate to whichever page you want instantly.
........a finger swipe left or right horizontally will bring you to the favorites page
........there is a yellow speak box that appears in the bottom right hand corner that will alert you of how many new texts you have. It will go away after a while and will reappear each time you switch between pages.
........I recommend that you turn on "Show Favorite Icon" in the options of PocketCM Contacts
........Separators and Contact list pictures are disabled even if you try to turn them on
Download PocketCM Contacts v.20b HERE
Download PocketCM Keyboard v0.14 HERE if you want my skin
Download PointUI v1.02b HERE
I think that's it!
LANDSCAPE IS FULLY SUPPORTED!
The screenshots are below in a .zip file, if you would rather see them in your webpage.. go HERE
Download the htctoucher PointUI.zip or htctoucher Pointui Blue.zip, sync with your device and drag the .zip into your PocketCM Contacts folder in Program Files.. then select it in options.
Enjoy!
I had forgotten to post up my keyboard skins.. they match pretty well.. attached screenshot and .zips
.....In order of left to right the screenshots are: htctoucher Pointui darkbg and htctoucher Pointui Touchpal (this keyboard skin has the animation of touchpal when pressed)
There is no screenshot of htctoucher Pointui Lightbg to make room for the Blue version of my theme. The only difference is a lighter background (like the touchpal one).

can you update your link to the specific topic at pocketcm phorum.. the one you gave just points to the index
thanks

New Variant - SMS Gradient Bubbles with Arrows
I have created different variants for both the Blue and Black versions of this theme.. attached is a screenshot
The bubbles were taken from my other theme (16 variant theme.. link below in my signature)
Enjoy!
thanks,
htctoucher
the theme variant in the first post is Gradient No Arrows, featured in the screenshots in the first post, but not in this one.

This sucks, I love the theme & would like to get it but my bubble look terrible, not quite a bubble, it is deformed in a way, it does't look like the pics posted, it has sort of a barthat attaches to it, has anyone else encountered this as well???

Could you possibly do this for me.. as I remember you had this problem on my other theme as well:
1. Download MagicSS here
2. Sync your device to your computer and run the .exe file which will install MagicSS on your device.
3. Go into settings on your device, then buttons, and set one of your hard buttons to MagicSS in the drop down menu
4. Open up PocketCM Contacts and while in the SMS Bubble view, press the hard button you mapped MagicSS to and then save the screencapture somewhere (preferably to your storage card so you can drag it back onto your desktop through snyc)
5. Attach the file either to a PM or post it here so I can look at it and know exactly what you are talking about.
Also.. check that you are using PCMContacts v.20b and a QVGA screen
Other than that, I really do not know how to help you.. thats so weird that the only problem you are having is the bubbles..
see if you can do the above steps and I will see if I can help you, although I am not sure if I will be able to since it seems it is specific to your device.

having an Samsung SGH-i780 phone and thus a 320x320 screen means that your beautifull theme is not working as it should. So what about an update for these square screens?

Anyone knows how do I install Pocket Calendar ?

Hi,
Works great...except:
1. What is the easiest way to access contacts? I have a touch and the only way I found is to go to the phone and select contacts.
2. What is the easiest way to get out of contacts?
Thanks.

1. I put a shortcut in my cube so it is really easy to get to. If you are willing to do this I can tell you how, you will basically have to edit one of the shortcuts already in your cube to PocketCM. You can also put it in your start menu.
2. Tap on the upper right hand corner of the screen when in PocketCM, it will minimize (not close) the program.

I thought the UI program can be run by itself without PocketCM

It can, this theme combined with PocketCM just makes it so your SMS chat and contacts looks as if it is part of Pointui

Screen Shots
**screens from IOLITE v2 shown!**
(home screen features the background and the clock/plugin item backgrounds included in the "glossier home tab bgs.zip" attached):
​
things to know... READ! (for v2)
..changes:
.....added support for multiple calendar items (moved clock up, moved date to where the operator text is (when you enable custom name, disable operator name -by m2dc or registry)
.....changed map search graphic (added a little google icon)
.....skinned settings page
.....moved the email values/changed email graphic slightly
.....moved unread icons so they arent covering SMS and MAIL text
.....skinned commmanager (see first post - not included in m2d zip)
(iolite version should work with older m2d versions too.. but i havent tested.. so if you have problems, just use v1 for older versions)
..IF YOU ARE USING GLOSSY BACKGROUND, ALSO USE THE GLOSSY FOCUS.png included in the glossier home tabs zip (copy it to your \windows) this is the background that shows up (or disables the bg from changing) when you hold down too long on sms view etc)
couldnt upload here.. so get IOLITE VERSION 2 here!:
http://www.4shared.com/file/84532593/8534b623/htctoucher_gloss_m2d_v2_iolite.html
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
things to know... READ! (v1)
..you do NOT have to have a different background for the home tab.. if you DO want it, it is included in the "glossier home tab bgs.zip" as "hh_fw_backgroundhome.png" (you can move it wherever, or delete the "home" portion and copy it to your windows directory to use it throughout m2d!)
..the page icons (big icons when running your finger across the bottom) are glossy, just like the earth icon and opera icon you see.. all custom by me!
..this can be and should be used with m2dc
..i recommend changing the font sizes of calendar and missed call buttons to about 20 for missed call and 14/16 for calendar in m2dc
..the weather icons are stardock icons (GREAT! icons), I manually switched out HTC's for stardock's (that took a while..)
couldnt upload here.. so get v1 here!:
http://www.4shared.com/file/82514029/bca57d9b/htctoucher_gloss_m2d.html

.....if you would prefer glossier home tab clock background and plugin background.. copy the files attached in "glossier home tab bgs.zip" to your windows or into the "htctoucher gloss m2d.zip" windows folder if you are using it with m2dc!.. **the clock and plugin background are included by default in v2 iolite version!**
(i suggest you all do so! -its shown in the preview-)
ALSO
.....if you would prefer to have little icons instead of the text in the slider on the bottom, download the .zip attached "tabicons.zip" and copy all icons to your windows folder on device (overwrite) or to the windows folder in the gloss m2d skin zip if you are using my skin with m2dc (thank fwaits for requesting this as part of his 1 request for being a member of my Golden List!)
.....in my opinion i think it looks good to have text as the inactive tabs, and icons as the active tabs.. if you would like this.. only use the icons in the tabicons.zip that have the words "tabicon" in them!
attached also is the tsk you see in the previews (should be anyway)
......just unzip the tsk file into your storage card or wherever, and load it in the home settings on your device!
......i also suggest installing uitweaker and then going into systweak and import the "final color.sys" file also included blends well with this theme
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
due to lack of space on the first post, thumbcal, taskfacade and fingermenu skins are also attached!
(my taskfacade skin is included as default in the new version of taskfacade! (see here)) - so i guess you wont have to download the theme here anymore
Thumbcal: (skin.htctoucher gloss v2.zip) - place it in your thumbcal folder and select it in settings
FingerMenu: (htctoucher fingermenu gloss skin.cab) - install to device.. you can delete the _vga files if you are using qvga device, or vice versa... just reinstall my cab if you want them back (dont know why you would but just in case)
TaskFacade:
**removed** (my skins are now included default in taskfacade as "Gloss")!
uploaded three more skins for taskfacade, will remove if they also become default
get them here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470096&page=2&post#19

Black pro theme,nice looking.
Congratulations!

This is really nice! Thank you.
If you have some time left it would be nice if you could do iContact, S2P and the Opal Phone Canvas (Opal Dialer).

That is one slick looking theme.

WOW htctoucher this skin pack is awesome, and looks the best for me! Is there any chance you make skin also for S2P?
Thank you!
Greetings

wow! your works are great, will get s2u2 & pocketcm. thanks

Very nice job. Do you plan (or someone) to make a WVGA version of your skins ? It would be great on Touch HD.

Cool
thanx

bump for this! A WVGA Skin will be great!

Would you also release those great skins for WVGA version, It looks great but not for HD.

thanks for all the great feedback guys!
this is why I love to post themes
as for wvga .. it's hard since I don't have a device with that resolution (anyone willing to donate one )
I may try pocketcm wvga but I don't think I'll be able to do the dialer
I may also do s2u2 and galarm.. maybe throttle.. but no guarantees at this point!
I'll be making a s2p and maybe imageviewer(pcm)
glad you all like the theme!
keep me posted on what you like/don't like or bugs

make what smaller? the wm7 small keyboard is about as small as it can be
not sure which one you are referring to
I should have a skin out this weekend
I am thinking of skinning TouchPal as well

some comments:
- you left a PSD file in the pocketcm theme (which takes 400Kb)
- you should remove the line that aren't setting or precede them with # (I suspect the line with ======= may have some nasty effect).
- the "strange animation" is probably because you set: panel.contactdetail.box
- Also I strongly advice you to use "development mode" and look at log.txt log file, you'll find some errors in your theme: Can't load image: buttoncallx.png, Can't replace setting for: textcontrol.phonecalleditpanel.numberedit.unfocused.background=fill($high9148$), etc...
Lastly, there is a bug in current version of PocketCM (not the next daily build in theory) that make PCM crashed when editing anything, workaround: set textcontrol.*.background=fill(#FFFFFF) (no image, no gradient, no alpha, etc...). Next version will fix this of course.
Nice theme!

​
Here is my iPhone skin for Iconsoft Phone Extension. Still working on it...
>>Download<<
VGA/WVGA Only​RELEASE: -removed white small cursor at the top of selectionned tab in the bottom curtain^^
-almost all tabs are skinned and cleared. still working on it
Installation:unzip iphone.zip and copy iphone.ist in \program files\iconsoft\phonex\skin\ directory.
Check my WAD2 iPhone Theme for VGA and WVGA post comments please^^...
Need some feedback for both (WAD2 theme and Phonex...)
Thanks

thank you very much

Looks great! But the bottom contains blurry images. Maybe you can fix that.
It would be great if you could make one for WQVGA and for the 2.0 version.

where to download?

Also would like an QVGA Version

Well, for the blurry images I cannot do nothing... it's taken from iPhone and iPhone screen's resolution is smaller than vga so I had to enlarge it so it's a bit blur... sorry... But on the screen this blurry effect is not no very visible... should be better in qvga version because qvga screens' res is smaller than iPhone's. Will be working on it when my studies will let me time...

As I said I'm a studient so I don't have many time... I'm gonna make it but if you want just download Iconsoft Theme Builder v1.4 on iconsoft site, extract pictures from the theme file iphone.ist and just resize it by 50%. Then create a new theme for qvga with it ^^. It's just easy as ABC^^
PS: if you make it... post it on my thread thanks (I worked hard for it^^)

When i extract your theme the theme builder says out of memory.
I'm using 1.4.

erk...it works for me...Well I'll put a zip archive with uncompressed files in it^^
cheers^^

It worked in the end.

check first post: I made an update contained in a zip archive. In the archive I also put the .ist decompression folder.

Released!!
*No more white cursor on activated tab
*Almost all tabs are customized
*Less blurry
Check first post for new screenshots^^!

PocketCM Keyboard (W)QVGA & (W)VGA skin "Black n Green"

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

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...

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)

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...

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.

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 ;-)

[WAD2 Theme] Angularz - WVGA

Hi All, thought I would publish my first effort at a WAD2 theme. My main aim after using other peoples themes was to make one that is 'thumb friendly' and real simple to use. It has 3 menu pages with large graphical buttons, and a 'home' screen with shortcuts to txt, email and call list. this theme is 99% portrait, how ever on my touch pro 2 if i flip the keyboard and go to landscape i do have a very basic black home screen with the 3 shortcuts. If people like the theme and would like to produce their own icons, let me know and I can post up some photoshop templates.
Installation
Install the files to your normal theme directory and search for new themes, then select Angularz as your portrait and/or landscape theme. Please make sure you install the fonts prior to use, as it may not the clock etc correctly.
Fonts
I use helvetica Neue fonts in the theme and have supplied these in the zip file. I also have replaced my system font with helvetica as it looks nicer, but I will leave that down to you. If you just want to use the fonts for WAD only, place the 3 helvetica fonts in your windows folder (with the rest of the system fonts)
I think I have packaged up all the correct bits (if not please let me know!!)
PLEASE CAN A MOD ALLOW ME TO SHARE LINKS!!

This looks neat. Nice docks.
good day.

it's just WOW!!

Thankyou!, I just wanted something simple but visually nice to look at, and this is the end result!
I find that if you increase the display cache size (through altering the windows registry) it does make it scroll through pages a little smoother.

thatbastard,
I'm using your theme and IMO, it is a simple but gorgeus. However, I have a problem with all notifiers. They are not appeared when I have some unread sms or missed calls. Do you have any suggestions? My device is Omnia i8000.

hi Laruku
You can try going to author mode, then page - show notifiers. Go to the properties once held down on the notifier and have a look through there. Mine is set on 'notifier type - unread sms' etc. by default this should work, however I dont know how different it would be on an omia. have a look in there and see if anything has changed.

how do you get out of author mode

taphold at any page and you'll get yourself the popup menu, i forgot which is the get out of author mode menu,,, but it is there,,,
@thatbastard,
would you mind sharing the images? the home wallpaper is really nice.
new version of WAD converts all the images folder into .wadesktop extension,,, which prevents me for extracting the images,
thx

here's my version
hello everybody !
Here's MY angularz, i hope you'll like this.
Koralii
you can see this on Youtube : v=GXtEynNZaf4 (sorry but i'm new here and can't post the shortcut.

Great Work
Great to see an original piece of work. i will give this a shot
Thanks for adding a bit of originality to my blackstone
Mark

Looks great !!!

wow, great theme
i think i'll make some personal changes and it'd be perfect for my daily use, YO~

DOOD JOB!!

Really nice. It's a shame, imo, that windows phone7 doesn't look more like this. My only comment would be that it might look better to have the text in panels up and to the right a few pixels, and have the voicemail icon transparent. (I can only comment on the screenshot as I don't have VAD2 installed on my device...

Thought it would be handy to have a volume icon on the home screen...
Steve.

Hi all, thanks for checking out my theme, Ive glad youve all liked it. Unfortunately I dont have wisbar installed anymore (and Ive had a lot goin on recently) so will not be continuing anymore projects but I thought I would share the remaining files I have. You can continue modding from my theme as freely as you like, as long as you mention it was based on my creation

Sure, there should be a zip file with ALL the angularz images. Ive also included a new homescreen which is a gloss black version (was going to be called Mono Tonez) but it will not be finished.
Enjoy!

good looking theme
willing to release a WQVGA version?

I´m new user of wad and i don´t know how to install this theme. I´ve installed mortscript and wad, and theme in lakerbridge/themes, and fonts in windows/start menu/programs fonts folder, but I don´t know where install angularz.wadesktop
Thanks a lot of.

Uncle Google says:
1. Using ActiveSync, copy the .wadesktop file to any location on your device.
2. From your device, use File Explorer to navigate to the .wadesktop file you just placed there, then tap on it to launch it.
3. You will be prompted as to a location to place the extracted files. Choose any location you wish (I personally find it helpful to have a Themes folder set up in advance).
4. Once the files are extracted, open WisBar Advance Desktop (if it's not open already), tap and hold on the screen, then tap Change Theme.
5. Now tap Menu > Scan for Themes. When the scanning process is complete, the theme you just installed should appear on the list.
6. Tap the theme, then tap Menu. Choose the appropriate menu option for setting as portrait or landscape. Please note that theme files are usually designed for one orientation or the other.
7. Tap Apply and you're done.
This should get you set up.

Thank you, uncle...
I´ll try.
