(SKIN) Winterface 2.0 (HeroFace) - Windows Mobile Themes

Winterface 2.0 is out. My skin Googleface is available for download from VITO's website, along with several other skins. Unfortunately, VITO went with my first version I sent them and ignored the second.
So here it is:
HeroFace.
Installation:
Run the cab file from your device and install where Winterface is loaded on your phone. Go to options, skins, ouila!
Enjoy!
P.S. This theme looks SWEET with this wallpaper.

How?
Hi there - I'd really like to have a go at customising my own Winterface now that I've upgraded to 2.02.
How do you package the files (particularly the icons)? I can't find any information anywhere and VITO seem intent on keeping it a big secret.

Skinning it actually very simple, but good lord, it would be complicated to explain.
Basically, take a bmp like the one in the screenshot. When you save, and this is VITAL, it needs to be saved as 16-bit, R5 G6 B5.
Now, the EASIEST thing to do is to simply replace over a same named file on your phone, i.e., build your icon set on the icons.bmp and replace it with your new set.
If you want it as a separate theme, you're going to need a hex editor to edit the skin file and a cab builder if you wish to share it.
Any other questions, feel free to ask.

Hey Oscar! Can you post that theme (wallpaper background)? Looks nice... I just did a save on the screen image but figured you might have a better resolution image... Or can tell me where you found it at.
Thx!

No. Actually, I just copied the URL link to whoever did the original on DeviantArt. The version on my phone is exactly the version you see here.

Just installed the latest version of Winterface and using the googleface skin
just about to try your heroface skin.
When i add applications they obvoiusly show with their default icon, is it possible to edit the icon and replace with something that matches the skin set?

Can I use the cab files/skins for Winterface 2.0 to install them in Winterface 1.3? I mean, WF 1.3 is able to cope with different skins. Should I somehow extract the files from the cab and then copy to bin? I tried, but even when just renaming the files to e.g. lynx.skin, lynx.bmp and lynx_icons.bmp doesn't work. I know this should be possible somehow, but I don't know much about cab files, etc.

Hi,
it looks beautiful. Thanks.
Gui

hi guys good news !!!
Well until now i don't know if there is any other mobile shell except winterface for wm2003se, but it is great and has that iPhone spirit in it, so I've tied to make it much cooler and more like iPhone so here is the icon set which will make your sms camera contacts file explore running menu calc pictures phone email iexplore wmp notes find and the calender
(well the cal is up side down and red&black not white)
Req.= winterface 2.0 (i think) , neon theme
plz if any one got some iPhone themes that he thinks ill look good on Winterface Please post them as a eply to this msg thnx hope you ewill like it
AT LAST I'm Satisfied with my pda2

[UPDATED JULY 1st]* S2P - Diamond Themes - Now with Bar and PINK

hey everyone. this is my first skin
I wanted a Diamon-Ish type of theme for S2P
so this is what i came up with.

i want to thank Lescro and poorlyducks windows media theme. for some graphics i borrowed.
i borrowed other graphics. but i cant find where i got them from.
sorry.
**** instructions ****
just put into the gfx folder for S2P
and into the gfx folder for S2U2
you need to restart to see the change in S2U2
UPDATE!
just put these files in S2P GFX
put them in S2U2 folder GFX also
lemme know, when u flip the albu over the background is not dark enough, i will fix that soon
thx
Update July 1st
i made a bad (took long enough.. sorry its not wider, i couldnt get it any wider)
also now its pink... if anyone still wants the green version just take the green pngs from the original i made.
update july1st (2nd time)
fixed a few things. red and green available now.
Looks awesome. By the way, does this skin also integrate with S2U2? If it does I'm going to use.
can you make a VGA version ?
very nice, but i lost all buttons when in folderview
maybe my mistake because i replaced your folder with originals, but would be good if you wrote something about that. Because if you name that gfx this means this is the complete folder !
can you make a complete gfx folder or send me my buttons back please ?????
EDIT: Problem solved: you forgot just the stbutton.png (i found one here)
my bad
i can try to make a vga. i wont be able to test it tho.
:s sorry if i forgot any files. i can upload a full gfx folder next time.
it will probably have a few mixed files since i dont have the original gfx for S2P anymore.

yes you borrowed the graphics from my windows media player?
i was also thinking of making oversized backward and forward buttons so that the entire bottom is white aswell..
arg.... maybe not.. i just tried.. and its to goofy for me to keep my atention with image sizes and being able to have it centered (cuz the press graphic has to be in the centere.
so i know there would be alot of empty spaces... alot of trial and error with image sizes ... cuz it puts the buttongs in weird places when you change there sizes.

Sorry, what I meant was, when you have S2U2 activated and you tap on the song title playing the controls show, does the skinning show there as well or does it use the default graphics?
just download it and look in the folder! i think the s2u2 play buttons are still basic, also stbutton.png.
so can you make the skin complete please ?
nice work bro.
excellent! thx
great skin
thanks so much
i will
ill update the gfx folder to a full one when i get home tonight
thank you ! good work. looks good to rest of my device.
i just checked that there is still a blue volume bar when s2u2 is on and the buttons on s2u2 are basic, but dont know if looks good if you change this buttons because they are in middle of the screen and transparent. but give it a try.
damnz bro! we are not worthy... we are not worthy!!! lol
does anyone know how i can chane the bottom bar that the buttons are on?

[rlToday Skins] Serene, Cityscape, and Stein - minimalistic skins Aug 31, 2008

Simple minimalistic skins. I will probably make 4 or 5 then update them.
Original Concepts (makes me wish I had a VGA device):
http://i37.tinypic.com/2jg5gyt.jpg
http://i36.tinypic.com/29w8oq8.jpg
http://i35.tinypic.com/22dwms.jpg
Outcome (close enough):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It is made for QVGA 240x320, but I will be making VGA versions later on.
By default the buttons are laid out so:
Serene:
Home=Phone
Chat bubble=SMS
Applications Icon=File Explorer
Cloud=iContact
Cityscape:
Left girl=Phone and Missed calls
Space guy=icontact
Grey girl=File Explorer
Right guy= SMS
Stein:
Head=icontact
Right bubble=phone
Left bubble=sms
Clock bubble=file explorer
Just edit the skin.xml to change the programs and paths. In order for it to work right you must remove the softkey bar from the bottom of your screen.
If you want to add more icons they can be found here:
http://apathae.deviantart.com/art/Chakram-52063104
http://j3concepts.deviantart.com/art/J3Cons-07-Updated-45651910
Thanks to apathae and j3concepts for their wonderful icons!
Installation:

Copy the the skin folder to Program Files > rlToday
Copy the Font to Windows > Fonts
Activate the rlToday plugin
Apply bg.png as your today screen background
Hold down on the today screen and click options

If everything was done right you should have it working.
Any requests or questions feel free to pm me.
To Do:
Add optional email notification
Add optional tabs (not sure yet, I really wanted to keep it simple as could be)
VGA Version
Maybe change today plugins to throttle or ul probably wont unless I am aching for some gesture support.
Any suggestions or ideas are always greatly welcomed.
**ADDED High Res Diamond Template for mockups. Enjoy! If you have any questions about it shoot me a pm.

Nice..but if you say this skin is created for QVGA users it would be better if you use HTC Touch which is QVGA device..since Diamond is VGA
I honestly didn't even think about that . I just loaded up a Diamond template I had on my computer to see what my concept would look like with a phone around it.

I added it to my main post. I simply found a high res render of the diamond from google images. Then I edited it to my liking. Enjoy!
Added a new skin "Cityscape"
ahh i love it..haha simple is key.
where can we download cityscape?
Its attached in the main thread. I forgot to add it when I edited the post
It should be there now.
okay,
- this is the shortest rltoday xml i have ever seen and
- the today screen has nearly no functions and
- the icons are from devian art
BUT the look you created out of this is extremly cool

Looks were my main thing I was going for, these were just skins for my personal phone and I decided to share them. I usually try to make one everyday I am off from work (which is very few days if that). I prefer minimalism over functionality, but I am working on tabbed versions that have app, weather, and calender pages. I look at my phone hundreds of times a day and I wanted something that was nice on the eyes.
Thanks for the comments anymore you have are greatly welcomed.
im diggin these!
great work
so im using the cityscape..i was wondering if there is a way to have the clock setup like the other one? on the top..thanks
Open skin.xml in notepad and edit the Y position of the clock. You would have to use another background otherwise you would have an empty black bar through the screen.

-Please download accordingly-
Here is "how to" video i put together to get you started with this them in WAD.
Click the image to download from Filesavr.com
​
Looks pretty nice to be honest, its good to get a change from the overdone Diamond look but the images seem abit choppy around the edges... hopefully thats just the screenshot.
they got streched a little (sceen shots) because i used my mobiler on a widescreen computer instead of doing it from the device...... o well
good.i've try it and report. thx
hi.. i've also been busy making themses and icons from the G1 and Android ever since the SDKs and the phone itself was announced..
i tried making skins for Homescreen++, rlToday, UltimateLaunch and WAD2 but individual plugin/engine shortcommings make it difficult to fully emulate the Android Homescreen UI..
so i abandoned all these projects midway and all i got was bunch of unsused PNGs and background images and UI graphics from the Emulator, screen shots and other Android apps in the AndroidMarket..
i've uploaded some of the images i have and some Android styled icons for other 3rd party apps (such as Mobipocket Ebook and coreplayer) - which i made myself..
there are lots other icons i made, like for s2u2, s2v and ftouchflo, oxios hibernate, wktask, etc, but i can't find them anymore (as of yet) within the mess of my harddrive.. it seems that i may have deleted the PNGs along with other useless stuff.. and i can't find the original SVG file which contains all of my Android icons (i use inkscape and making multiple icons in a same file makes it easier to copy/paste and duplicate elements).. i'll upload them when i found them...
here are some shots of the WAD2 theme i made with the icons..
excellent! I'm huge into wad2 and stuff and thought i'd have to make everything from scratch!
Thanks!

I am actually running Android on my Vogue now... and I must say, it is very nice. It's missing YouTube (doesn't work on Vogue) and Office (I have EverNote, not the same...). Making WM like Android, but with WM apps would be a dream
Thank god thought i was gonna have to dig up from scratch.....
Expect another updated soon.... Working on more Program icons now, does anyone have suggestions?

[icons]WM 6.5 Black & Blue/Red/Green/Yellow/Orange/Purple/Grey Folder Sets [12/4/09]
Hello all,
Here's my little contribution to the community after having received so much from so many. I've been using these folder icons because I wanted something that went with my phone and I couldn't stand the default yellow ones.
If anyone wants something added to the set I'd be more than happy to do so, especially if they supply the icon to go on the folder

How-To
I recommend using one of several icon changing apps available at XDA. The one I currently use is JWMD's Icon Changer, and have used and liked Showaco's reSTART too.
CREDITS
The base folder icon came from the HydroPRO Icon Pack, which is floating around all over the net. Here's a link from my site if you just want to d/l it and not do all the searching. I got it from Vista Icons and it was written by mediaDesign at DeviantArt
Many of the other images I put on top of the folders are from the Alpha Dista Icon Pack, also floating around all over the net. Here's a quick link for that too. I got this from Vista Icons as well. It was written by Danial Flaco at Deviant Art.
The rest of the images were taken from various logos on the web, images I've come across, and stock WM 6.5 / ATT Tilt 2 icons.
Obviously, I make no claim to the original artwork and do not request any kind of credit (I only super-imposed the images I liked, after all) and I place no limits on what you do with this set. Feel free to use, distribute, alter, etc. etc. I'd suggest that if you are looking to sell any of it that you contact the artists listed above first

Thanks! I love black & blue color schemes! All the themes I use are like that!
thank you very much, really nice

Good selection. Thank you very much.

Hi wokwitme
In WM6.5 use reSTART by Showaco to reassign icons to folders. In this case image files must be placed in:
\Program Files\reSTART\icons\
In WM6.1 you need to convert icons into .ico files and then into a .dll library. once in a .dll library you place a link in the folder you wish to assign an icon to called icon.lnk. The shortcut of the icon.lnk file must point to the .dll library and the index number of the icon you want to be displayed.
There are better WM6.1 tutorials on the forum.
Hope that helps.
Cheers

Hi eknutson
I have nade an icon set of my own which I was on the point of releasing.
Unless they're copyrighted I'm going to use your blank folders as a template to make some more icons. Don't worry, I always attribute work I use.
If you'd like to support this, it would be great if you could send me a higher resolution source file. If you want a preview of what I plan to release please let me know & I'll PM it over to you.
Cheers

I'm not sure if this was directed at me or what you're asking for here... The icons just go in a folder on the device of your choosing. I use "\My Documents\My Icons" for convenience.
To apply the icons for you would be very tough, a lot of people have their own layouts and organizations to folder structure. Unless you have the exact layout I have, automatically applying them wont work.
Did this address your question? Let me know, I'm happy to help any way I can

[PRJ-REQ] Tatanium theme: Winmo 7

Hi all,
I saw the winmo 7 video other day in youtube. It looks great but it was like a dejavu for me. I have sony erricsson Xperia X1, in that we have a panel called Media experience, it is more or less the same as new winmo interface. (for those who haven't seen it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEQt8tGUuYg )
The only differences are that instead of txt showing you where you are (each time you get in a folder the name of the txt goes on top, that way you know where you are) in Media experience it shows you an icon

notice the icon on the right ( music icon) indicates that you are in music player. Oh yeah and unlike winmo7 it is in the left side. The thing that this is missing is the clock on the background (i photoshoped it) and the weather widget.
HTC UI is great but it also slows down the phone, that's why I prefer titanium. I was wondering if somebody could figure out a way to put a clock and weather widget with it. Some other pics,
That theme concept looks gorgeous. It's a brilliantly huge improvement over the default Titanium. However, it reminds me of the SE media manager. But nevermind that.
The clock on the top right corner looks ugly - it's doesn't blend well within the theme. I suggest that a plain text clock in the background should be implemented to give the theme a minimalistic and elegant look. I've worked up on the image to show you what I mean.
The menus should also have some transparency so the background and the clock are visible.
i think it's better the clock on the background but the icon only the bigger at the center end take away the little one at the left!
d3thstalker your picture looks exactly what I was thinking. I did a quick paintbrush work so it looks awefool. But yeah this is what I was talking about, how though
It would be really awesome if someone could develop this for us. I have no background in developing anything or whatsoever. However, I'd like to extend my help to wherever I can.
EDIT: Perhaps if someone could post links to guides or tutorials on editing the Titanium menu, I can try something.
Yes found it,

It doesn't look that difficult, it's worth a try. But you are reminded again that I have no background in these things or whatsoever, so don't get your hopes too high, I might simply dump the project if I can't do it.
I'm handling some workload from my office atm, I'll begin immediately after that. I'll flash my phone to WM6.5.3 today, however, to take a look at how this whole thing works. On second thought, it would be better if someone could pass me the following files from the WINDOWS directory on their phone - bronzeres.dll, CHome_listback.png (hidden file) and Titanium_240x320.cpr

Ok I just sent it to you. I looked at the tutorial too, when I opened the bronzess.dll in PE explorer I see lots of icons, starting with the number of 2000 to 4000. I can guess how to change the icons, but I dont understand how can I change the system of how icons are being shown. I mean in "Media Experience Panel" when you tap on something it goes to the left side. How do make that happen? Anyway I dont know anything about programming.
Hope somebody comes up with a solution.
I understand the link between the registery, the bronzeres.dll and the way the icon are displayed. However, I still don't understand how to shift the icons to the left side. I think that has something to do with Titanium_240x320.cpr.
I don't think that it's possible to make the icons shift to the left upon clicking them because I have never seen that in a theme. I think that would require the Titanium code to be re-written or something, which is beyond me.
EDIT: This modding of titanium is too hard for me, I don't understand several aspects of it. I am letting go of it here.
Ok I think I figured it out. Its not Titanium that can do this stuff. It is actually this
http://developer.sonyericsson.com/cws/devworld/technology/windows-mobile/xperia-x1?cc=gb&lc=en
which probably can do this. Hmmmm............ I guess I have to do this all by myself
any update on this wonderful looking theme ?
