Hi!
For people interested in creating lock screen skins.
What's needed:
1. A VGA or WVGA device.
2. PocketShield application (free trial).
3. Any image editing software (Photoshop, Corel Draw, Fireworks, etc).
4. The tutorial.
5. An open imagination and a great skin idea!
Start here.
Get help here.
Some samples of existing skins:
{
"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"
}
(See more at the skins center)
If you make a skin you get:
- A free license for PocketShield with lifetime upgrades.
- Your skin listed for download at the official skins page.
That looks pretty damn awesome! I will start fiddling with it when my theme is finished.

Yes,could anyone post the themes here for downloading?Especially for wp7 theme!
For all these skins to work you need PocketShield, here the instructions:
- Install latest version of PocketSield for your device.
- Connect your device to the internet (you can plug your device to your PC via USB)
- From device, do Start > Programs > PocketSheld > Design > Skin > "Download Skin Previews"
- Navigate with the >> button until you find the skin.
- Click "Install skin" (wait for download and done)
- Click Save

there some way to only replace the start windows logo... without the wisbar... just a simple drag n' drop images to windows folder..
thats a dream mine.. or this is can be done ????
wow nice will this for vga or qvga?
Looks awesome. Keep it up
That 2 big buttons at the bottom (for pocketbreeze and plugins), is that a WAD feature? Or is it just a standalone today plugin?
I would love to tab my today screen like that... kinda like using SPB pocket plus, but PP is ugly
looks nice
Very nice. Keep it up, i can't wait
Looking very good!
BTW:
Where did you get the icons on the app link page from?
Looks Nice
Is there HTC home or pure WAD ??
It is HTC HOME + WAD
so it can be run, without wad?
Well I've been away for some time due to exams.
Though I'm still not done I managed to make this one for people who still use my minimal skins.

Any way dialer is awsome.

this is something you can do easily yourself by editing the default.skn and changing the ListItemSeparator= parameter.
I have a question for you ppl.
first one: does anyone want me to make this minimal theme for pcm?
second: if not, what do you guys want me to skin.
I have some free time on my hands and I am willing to make something for you.
You can also put me in a direction to how it will have to look and I will see what I can do.
Please do it ........ PCM skin would be great! You have a great eye for design and are very talented.
I follow all your threads even for applications i don't use and was actually jealous when I saw the new skin you made for icontact.
thanks,
Lee
Very nice skin.
In fact, i love your minimal series ))
Keep up the good work!
larna
nice work.... will try it in my KS20
Thank you
You are one of the best.Thank you very much
Almost workins with iContact 6.3..
Hello,
I am using L26 Throttle Launcher ROM and workign wih our TL theme, dialer, and now trying your iContact theme. All look good but it seems that there are some differences between iContact versions. I was actually able to use yours by using the balck default theme of iContact 6.3 with your theme, but not ideal...
Any intent to update this to the latest iCOntact version?
Juju
I would love a skin for iContact 0.8, as found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395829
Hey Paul,
I take it this is only for qvga also right? *hinthint*
............
Thank a lot of
Nice skin ...
I tried it in iContact 0.8.1 and t didn't look good ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395829
So can you make an updated version for us. Thx
Hello everyone!!!
This zip-file contains Leopard-style icons for Throttle Launcher TouchFlow 3d Skin.
If you want to install this icon-pack you just have to replace the ThrottleLauncher\Setups\Touchflo3d\icons\tf3d\Pages folder with the one in the zip-file...
You can find all the info about my beta_leo_mod for ThrottleLAuncher Touchflo3d skin at the bottom of this page ... and some screenshots on the second page...sorry for this mess...

Here is my beta touchflo3d skin mod...
To install you have to:
1.Install my Leopard icons for Throttle Launcher Touchflo3d skin(its on the top of this thread).
2. Replace the ThrottleLauncher\Setups\Touchflo3d\Skins\Bright folder with the Bright folder in the zip-file.
3. Replace the ThrottleLauncher\Setups\Touchflo3d\vars.xml file with the one in the zip.
4. Set the Color Set to bright.
If Throtle launcher works slower please reply.... because on my imate it works very slow....
Could you post a picture to see how it looks like? ty
I have made 3 screenshots of this skin....
Sweet, looks cool!
OMGSH..its Awesom
Thanks for ur Efforts
You're welcome...
speed?
I'm currently working with Ultimate Launch at a pretty good speed.
Also using about 6 other today plugins.
How will this speed be on my Wizard (WM 6.1 - 247MHZ)?
hey dude ,
m using the new HTC Gene 3400i with wm 6.
on my device throttle is running like a charm with the icons u provided...
Awesome thanks!
*Edit It moves slow when you move the tabs
If this beta skin works fine than I will post the full version of this skin later...
This is what i was talking about ....I am working on this issue... Try to disable the truetransparency and the faketransparency in the Experimental tab... i think this should help but the standard footer will appear when you change the pages
You think you can change the Weather icon? It kinda don't match.

i think your right! the bottom dock on the left is empty so i think having this dock to have buttons controlling mortplayer would be an alternative to the small music buttons in the taskbar?

Hi, nice looking theme...however, I installed it and it didn't change the font. Did I do something wrong or miss something? Just downloaded the cab and installed it on a QVGA vogue.
