Total Noob needs your help - Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I'm a total Noob with pocket pc's.
I just got the Touch Diamond 2 from Vodafone Germany.
I did a Rom update to WM 6.5.
According to a member at pocketpc.ch, I got Manila 2.1 with this update.
Now, I am desperately looking for a different theme than the butt ugly red and white that's on the phone.
I see all those custom themes and they are great, my problem is that I have no freakin' clue which one would work on my TD2.
There are so many abrevations and slang that my head is spinning.
I would really appreciate it, if someone here could give me a link to a black or dark blue theme, that will work with my phone.
I tried one yesterday, but it screwed up my TD2 and it took me forever to get it back to normal.
It was the dusk theme : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=518479
Something like that would be awesome.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Stefan

Keyboard Skins on Diamond

I have tried Searching Reading Browsing but still no luck.
I am a big fan of the Original Keyboard (Screen).
The bluish keyboard that came stock on the Diamond is really ugly.
None of the skin cabs that worked for WM 6.0 would work on the Diamond.
Does anyone know how to get around this?
Thanks~!

oh really? I thought everything for the original keyboard(non HTC) is the same except for the blue skin that came with the diamond. everything else seems to be the same..
Well let's hope someone will be able to make a skin for it

Final Fantasy Advent Children Theme?

Hey everyone, My wife just got a new kaiser. She is trying to personalize it and was searching for a good Final Fantasy Advent Children Theme. She would even take a FF7 theme. Can anyone recommend a good one for her? She is mainly looking for 2 things. A great Final Fantasy wall paper and a great Final Fantasy startup splash screen. I would make the splash screen for her but I do not know how. I have tried to follow some steps but have been unable to make the splash screen. She is currently running L26 Kaiser Diamond Rom V5. Thank you for your help in advance.

[THEME] Sprint TF3D Theme on Fuze

Hi Guys,
I recently put the Sprint TF3D theme on my fuze, and I absolutely love it cause its so uch faster that the at&t theme. However, when you have the keyboard out, the screen that is shown is just the screen seen in portrait mode, and then about 1/3 of the riht of the screen is black. I was wondering if anyone knew how to make the theme fit correctly when the device is rotated, or if you can just get the regular menu screen that all touch pros have when the device is in landscape.
Thanks
take a look at this thread
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42831 the very first post gives you the sprint manila landscape
Sorry I'm actually having some trouble finding what I need. Am i downloading the files that the poster says to use if you dont want the gold theme? Isn't that the stock black theme?

[THE][WM6.5][All Res][AllBugsFixed] PureBlack2 by m.carroll

A really simple monochromatic skin for Windows Mobile (Phone) 6.5, cab's fully uninstallable. Works with VGA/WVGA and QVGA/WQVGA, just download the correct resolution (without the W). Enjoy.
While I do realize that both versions could be installed from one Cab, I've chosen not to do this to avoid cluttering devices (especially those with small internal storage) with unnecessary files which are not fit for their resolution. My theme releases will be 2 separate cabs (maybe 3 if I ever figure out this square thing...).
Changelog:
May 7, 2009 - Fixed bubble/toast bug in (W)QVGA version and updated installers hardcoded to device (just to bypass nag in installation).
April 19, 2009 - Initial Release
looks nice, thanks for creating
looks and works good, thanks for job
thanx alot mate.. works beautifully
glad to contribute guys. it was more of a learning experiment for 6.5 themes for me. i've got a pretty good handle on how it works now, and am working on an idea for an original theme. if you've got any questions on how theming works on 6.5, head over to the WM6.5 Themes and Development Thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501506

hi
just now loaded on my Phone wow it looks great thanks a lot for this great creation of urs
Nice work, thank you!
Love black
Sweet man. this is awesome. I love the theme.
Great job! Thanks a lot!
just want to say a huge thanks for making mine as well as everyone elses HD's that much more awesome...
Does anybody else have the 'rainbow effect' towards the top of the screen? Does it show some blue, green and red as the color tries to transition... or maybe my backlight is up to high?
Anywho, great theme m.carroll!
could that possibly a battery that u have installed? cause i know that those sometimes use a rainbow effect
yeah !
Black is better coz I'm fed up with win blue
nice job
Thanks
ps: is a glossy version possible ?
Excellent, I tend to always stick with a nice clean black theme, more gloss would be nice
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Big Thank You ............
Too bad nobody remembers 'bout square screens (320x320) of Treo and i780
Square QVGA should work just fine seeing as 320x320 on the TreoPro and the i780 are still both 192 DPI, save for the background. I could resize the background and cab up a square one for you if you'd like, but try the QVGA one first and let me know if it works.
EDIT: What's the DPI for the Square 320x320 devices? I'd love to get you a theme if you can get me the resources from a working Classic Blue theme...
EDIT2: Thanks to bnm7bnm, I've found an issue with the QVGA cab, in that if you click on the signal strength indicator, battery icon, any of the top icons looking for a status pop-up window, it shows the old-style notifications, instead of WM6.5-skinned style. Working on a fix and will update when available.
Speaking of bugs, anyone (AdamNimrod) having the rainbow effect: can you try and take a screenshot with a program like CapSure or something similar and see if the rainbow effect still shows up. I don't really know what your talking about, but the screenshot would help, and also identify if its an actual rendering issue or an optical illusion.
PS: I'm working on a Glossy Black theme roughly using a glossing effect similar to Windows 7, but trying to keep it classy and not look like it's "trying too hard". Its coming down the pipe, but I just got out of finals at the University of Florida, and start an internship soon, so it'll be here when it gets here.
For WM6.5 square screeners there is only 96dpi
The attachment contains the slightly modified theme - I've added the 320x320 wallpaper.
Can't wait for the square version

Howto make a Mobile Phone like skin ?

Hello People, sorry for the bad title i couldn't think of another.
My name is xiq and i've been on this forum since 1-2 years, because I really appreciate the tools etc. =)
I'm looking for a way to make something like a more advanced skin for my wm phone.
I have a Eten M800 with a VGA display (not very good), and a Palm Treo 750 with a square display.
Well i really think that the Treo's not really good dressed with Windows Mobile's Appearance, so i want to make a more standard skin, something very basic.
I thought about something like this:

Home Screen
i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt185/xrlsky/menu.png
Menu Version A
i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt185/xrlsky/menu_alternative.png
Menu Version B
Icons © by "Zerode.com", i just used them for a quick "sketch"
---------------------------
As you can see, it's not really so mad about touch like most projects, i don't want to center on a yank-a-doodle-dandee
Maybe someone want to team up with me?
I'm a experient Designer, as you can see on photobucket,
I'm also the guy behind the XeBoy Advance skin (v0.4 upwards)
I'm just not the fittest at programming...
Does any of you guys know of an easier way to realize this?
come on people, 200 views and no idea?
FIY, i don't want to find a skin, I want to make one, just a simple clue would be awesome =)
Moved to correct section for more coverage.
bumpedy bump still interested
well, it's been some time, but i'm still bumpin'
Hello sir my name is not Trekfan422991 but that is my username and i have what you are looking for...
the program you should use to achieve this skin is called
THROTTLE LAUNCHER..
with a little XML. you can design any kind of Theme your little heart can imagine...
this theme you are asking about would be sooooo!! super easy to code....
i can either do the coding for you...
or even some GRaphics ... i am a graphic designer...
take a look at one of the beautiful popular themes i ahve made for peoples phone .....
HERE
i would be happy to partner up with you to bring this theme to your device..!!!
i realized that your Eten M800 has a joystick and you post says your not looking at the touchscreen aspect of the theme....
so if you want to use the joystick for navigating the theme if i make it in throttle launcher .. will not be possible... you will still need to use the touchscreen to navigate the theme
Try ThemeGenCE its great for starters (well I'm still using it )
