I have made 1 new and thats the Carribean sea skin with both an qwerty and azerty multilanguage layout. The other skin i have edited the Iphone skin 2manyphones made (His orginal post) a little so it fits my layouts. I think he has done som great work on that skin . Iphone also got qwerty and azerty layouts.
For more info, pictures and downloading you can see on these two links.
Carribean sea skin
Iphone skin
At this there is no VGA skin of them. But i'm thinking of make them. I dont have any VGA phone so can be a little hard to test them so if some one could help me with that i would thankful for that
Seems like the multilanguage layout works out great for me. If there is any letters or symbols you miss tell me. Also write the symbol/letter both in caps and lower since it would be easyer for me to add them.
This is the letter associations these layouts have now:
aåáàäãą¥,eæéèêëę,iíîï,oøóôöõ,uúùüû,cçć,sšß,zžżź,yý,nñ,lł
Correct me if some of the symbols are on the wrong place. Symbol pads are added for every letter.
Hope you like them and would like to hear what you think about the color scheme on the Carribean sea skin.

I have uploaded the skins now. But you could download them the forum i linked to
You did a great job, especially with the heaps of symbol pads hidden everywhere. What I don't like is the very small "shift" key, since we germans need it quite often. Is there a way, to make it bigger?

Hey good you liked it . Could you tell me what skin you are using and maybe how mutch bigger you think the shift button should be. Cause have to make some other button smaller if the shift button should be bigger. So have to look at it.

Well, I'm using the really nice iphonegrey skin. I'd like to have the shift key about as big as the backspace or return keys. I could best live with a smaller return key, since I really don't use this one very often. So maybe the return key would be the right button to shrink a little in size. Keep up the good work!
Here is the English version with a bigger shift key. I didn't mess too much with the shift and symb screens, but it should be a little better.
Keep in mind you need to use both the skin AND the layout file for this to display right.
Tweak as you like!
Can this be used for VGA Devices?

Nice skin, but I have three questions:
1. Can you make a blue version (like the real iphone) using this new layout (Gray 3.5)?
2. Can you make a backspace a little bigger (version 3.5)?
3. There is a bug in "return" button. If you press and hold for 250ms, one menu it's appears (option - cut - copy - paste), but with your skin, you will see just a black "button".
Thanks a lot and as always, sorry my bad english..
Really like this app. Using Ialu layout ... with some modifications and replacing the graphics, here's what I have.
BTW, how can I use a different png graphics for shift/backspace/space/return when the key is pressed?

2. Try his original layout. The bigger shift key and smaller backspace were requested by me.
BTW thanks Ialu. I like the bigger shift key now.

Hi 2manyphones, would it be possible to move the backspace key(x) away from the right, it is a bit hard to get to it. This is only in lowercase letters, it uppercase letters it is correct. Otherwise loving this layout, much easier to type.
I also have the blank buttons when holding the Return button, until you slide over the buttons.
hope more themes for POCKETCM keyboard
keyboard displays different on my Kaiser
I absolutely love this keyboard app and skin, but when installed on my kaiser, it's misaligned. the picture on the right is from my kaiser and the picture on the left is from the GrayIphone 3.5 zip file

looks like the height of the keyboard is too short. am i out of luck or can this be fixed with some type of adjustment. thanks in advance for any suggestions...

You need to select both the skin file and the correct layout file for it to display correctly. From your screen shot it is clear the wrong layout file is selected. Sometimes you also need to do a soft reboot to get it to change.
I added = and + to the English layout 2.1 with number keys along the top of the symbol pad.
Use this layout file with the iPhone 3.3 skin.
layout file...
I love the gray Iphone skin. I have used it for a while now. I got it from tene pocketcm site. I was using underwatertub's iphone + smilies but the keys on this one are way larger.
Would it be possible to add a layout to the english edition so that when a user presses and holds the "." key a row pops up giving the options of punctuation? For example ?!,()etc and maybe a few smilies? Underwatertub did it on his and man it works great!!!
Also, on the "," could have a pop up on a press and hold function, that had a numeric row.
Only ideas, the skin is awesome!!!!
Curious George
Just noticed that holding down the ".?123" button does do some of this.
Another idea: What about predifined text with a press and hold on "Return"...ie Running late. yes. no. call me....etc

Thanks. I'm glad you like the skin. You can change what characters display on each page in the layout file. It can be opened and edited in wordpad. Just make sure you don't add or delete any spaces, so the skin still displays correctly. As for holding the return key to get quick replies, that is a good idea, but to my knowledge the return key pop up is set to options, cut, copy and paste. Meaning I don't think it can't be customized at this point. I made this skin primarily for my own use, so fogive me if my response to requests is not as fast as underwaterdub or others who have posted their own skins. I will keep making tweaks, taking into account forum feedback and personal usage and posting when I can.

thanks for the suggestion... all is well now!!! my trinity and my kaiser thank you!
After many months of tweaking this skin, I think it is about as good as it can get (for my personal use). For those of you not familiar with PCM Keyboard, it is a program being developed as a replacement on screen keyboard for PPC devices.
I am providing the skin and layout files only, please refer any program or device compatibility questions to the developers thread or website.
The latest version the application can be downloaded at this link (keep in mind the developer currently puts an expiration of 30 days on each version until it is commercially released. So plan on upgrading to the newest version each month or plan on purchasing the software when it is launched):
http://pocketcm.com/keyboard2.php
Support:
http://pocketcm.com/phorum/index.php?9
XDA thread with the latest version information:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321712
There are two types of files that have to be loaded onto your device and selected in the options/settings for this skin to work: The keyboard layout file and the keyboard skin file. Choose either the Eng 2many or Eng 2many., layout (the second having the , and . next to the space bar) AND either the 2many GreyiPhone or 2manyiClone skin. I suggest restarting the device to make sure everything has changed correctly.
This design was done to allow almost any layout work with this skin, so check out the multi language layouts and a "azerty" layout created by ialu in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330525
Here are some features of this skin:
Main screen:
-Numbers pop up if you press and hold the "123#?" key
-Basic symbols pop up from the space bar. Period with a space is the default pop up key, so if you press and hold too long and don't slide to another symbol, you will get a period and a space.
-If you press and hold a letter, you will get a caps letter (idea borrowed from my BlackBerry).
-Caps lock is still double press on the shift (up arrow) and double press to change back to lower caps.
On the symbol keyboard (one press of 123#?):
-If you press the internet explorer key you will get "http://www."
-If you press and hold the internet explorer key you can choose: https://, .net, .org, .com or www.
The Grey iPhone skin / layout also supports landscape. This was not easy and I had to compromise some eye candy to get all the buttons to look right in both orientations. It does take up a LOT of screen in landscape, but I didn't want to make the buttons smaller for portrait use.
Keep in mind all of this customization is set in the layout file and can be opened and modified in wordpad. The only trick is making sure it is saved as a .layout file. I suggest making a copy of the layout file you are changing, rename it, make your changes and then save it (not save as).
I made this skin for my personal use and am sharing because I haven't seen anything else that works as good - for me. I am not a developer or a designer, so again please try to search for questions in the thread links I have provided. Please feel free to modify, use, distribute any of the graphics or file settings - no need to ask

I download the zip file but how do I install it on my PPC 6800 ?
PHP:
Excellent! Thanks! Though I will need to slightly mod it to add the "_". No one seems to put that on their layouts. Apparently, I'm the only one who ever uses it, and I do in my passwords sometimes...
EDIT: Just noticed that a hold of the "-" will also do a "_". Cool! I'll still add a dedicated button for it. I don't need the .com since I made the press and hold of the http button default to a .com, instead of .net, and also I use the "_" much more than .com as I have most of my sites bookmarked...
But awesome skin again! Thanks for the time and effort!

1. Download the program cab from the link on post one (v12 is the current).
2. Install onto the device
3. Using active sync, open the folder program files\PCMKeyboard
4. Drag all of the files in the zip (or just the iphone12 skin and eng iphone12 layout if you don't want the multi language options).
5. Go to settings, input and select PCM Keyboard as the input method
6. Click on the options button and change the keyboard layout and keyboard skin to Eng iphone12 and iPhone 12. See the screen shot. I alsot changed the feedback on letters to 30 ms from the default 100. This is how long it takes for the feedback graphic to pop up. Basically 30 is if you want it to show up quickly when you press letters (like the actual iPhone) or if you want to type faster and not have it show the pop up of the letter you pressed, leave it at 100.
7. Once the options are set, press OK and OK to exit the input screen.
8. I suggest restarting the device to make sure the layout and skin set correctly. If you do not have a SIP change program on your device, when you restart, it will default back to the standard keyboard. I recommend default IM and have attached the cab file in this post. Install it, run it and it should keep PCMKeyboard as your default, even after restarts.
just installed works great thanks!
Awesome
One word - AWESOME!!
is there a possibility to include a copy/cut/paste/undo button? would be handy.
or just a Control button to be used incombination with X/C/V/Z as in the default SIP
EDIT: very nice skin btw!!thx for sharing..
I Love it!!
This is Really good!
Just a view question,
Could you make the same thing only then change the colors
so, dark keys with light characters?
Would make it complete!
and is it costumizable?
because i have changed the order of the characters ever sinds i use pcm keyboard.
but now when i use your skin i don't get numbers but special characters when holding the 123 button.
and i don't have a . next to it so i lost the extra options when holding that.
can i change it my self in one of the files?

FAQ
=====================
Just FYI.. Here are some FAQ's..from the original thread. Just saving time in searching stuff, I have attached a few cabs as well :
Where else can I get Ultimate Launcher from?
http://www.ultimatelaunch.de/
Where do I get the touch-commander from?
www.touch-commander.com
-------------------------------------------------
Instructions from MaxMotus :
Part 1 - Touch Commander
Install Touch Commander and edit the FtouchFlo config file. The options for left and right scroll are blank. I set "Right 2 Left" as Action Screen and "Left 2 Right" as Comm Manager.
"Down 2 Up" opens Touch Commander Standard and "Up 2 Down" minimizes the program currently active.
Obviously configure Touch Commander Layout and icons to suit yourself. My icons that i used in Touch Commander are png format stored on storage card. I got some of mine from Alienware skin. Basically converted the ".ico" files to png
Part 2 - Ultimate Launch
Install Ultimate Commander and take time to edit play with settings. You can spec tab size by pixels (i used 40) and placement. Then you can spec total pixel size that the Ultimate Launcher plugin uses on desktop (includes tabs). I set @ 200 which lines up perfectly with the wallpaper i use. So when you change tab it moves everything between the tabs at top and the glass bar at the bottom. ie Tabs and glass bar stay static.
I used as plugins, HTC home which fits perfectly between the Tabs and Glass Bar at bottom. The Next Tab is SPB Pocket Plus with short cuts and system items. On the Third Tab I used SPB Weather and on the final tab i had short cuts using Ultimate Launch.
Tab placement can be top or bottom of the Today plugin so you could put them at the bottom of page like iphone. If you want to hide the tabs totally and just use the Cube / Slide change of tabs then set Tab size to zero.
Ultimate launch icons are in standard .ico format 32x32 or 48x48 for the animated size! So you can easily make or edit icons!
You can have as many tabs as you like I just chose 4 as i was using cube style change. And you can use all the normal today style plugins via settings. Each tab can have its own gestures regarding launching apps. I set mine same for less confusion, basically stroke down on tab panel for PocketCM.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
how did you manage to get the htc home tab plugin in between ultimate launch space?
The HTC Home needs 160 pixels so you need to set the pixel size in "Ultimate Launch" to use 160px + tab size. In my case my tabs are 40px so my overall px size for settings on Ultimate Launch are 200px (Config, Display Tab, "Fixed Plugin Height")
To add HTC Home plugin, (Config, Display Tab, "Tabs") when you have created a "Tab" you can click on "change" and add from the list of today plugins!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Where do I get the theme which is in the Video?
Attached - Theme.zip
You can use your own customized avatar.
Attached - Blueflameza9.zip
For those who want to use the gif for S2U2
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How Do I get the HTC Home and HTC Weather as Tabs?
Go to UL config and Add a New Plugin, Select the Application
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I managed to use the HTC home like you did, but unlike the top portion of your ultimatelaunch tab, mine has arrows to the sides. I am assuming that it's indicating the that I have more tabs to the left/right. Is there any way to get rid of it? How did you make it so that yours doesn't show any arrow? Is it because you only have 4 tabs?
Go into Config and the headers options.
Make sure "Visable Headers" is equal to or great than number of tabs you have setup.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Which battery monitor do you use? The one in the taskbar with percentage as well...

I tried it out about a week ago and was going to add it to open touch v3.0, but did not have time..
I might include it in v4.0, but not sure yet. Also, I think I better ask the developer of the apps first as well...heeh

Tat sounds nice! Would love to see this with Open Touch. One thing you may wanna consider before including is that if this app is not activated, it will have "not activated" on the application once in a while. It doesn harm but I am sure you will find a way to eliminate that

From what I saw you can use any plugin. When you go into the config click new and select Today-Plugin. You should be able to add it there.

Heheh.. I know . With the amount of memory it takes..I kinda thot you will!..
not activated message is not there when you don't use Cube
I know the Cube is popular but if you uninstall the cube, you don't get the not activated messages. This app is pretty cool even without the Cube. I personally do not like the cube so I don't use it, but I tried it with and without the cube installed and noticed this. Just thought I'd pass it on.
Also, the Cube takes alot of memory, but without it, this app takes very little.

(hopefully they find out how to customize TF3D soon)
when i press "contacts" in diler - doesnot open pocketcm but default.
any ideas?

This works, however:
1) It doesn't seem to be half as 'usable' as per on my previous (QVGA) Touch, mainly in the way it seems tricky to actually selected a contact - u have to be very precise and aim more for the actual phone number beneath the name - not as 'thumb' friendly. Hopefully there is some sensitivity setting that can be tweaked?
2) You don't seem to be able to tap in the top right hand corner (full screen mode) to minimize
3) Being picky here.. but the theme attached to the above is titled "Touch VGA" however on my device at least it seems nothing like a VGA version of the Touch (ie. greys) theme, but instead while & orange?!
4) As per other posts in this thread non of the Touch Diamond shortcuts are mapped, both from within the TF3D (All People) and within the PhoneDialer app.
Any ideas / suggestions.. more to the first point or two?
Thanks, Simon
Further to my comments above, I've just pulled down the latest v0.24 which includes an "improved Black theme" (the supplied VGA theme). I don't think there's any difference relevant to Diamond owners, although in playing around with it I have noticed it is possible to select a given contact with your thumb so long as you use a very light touch - again suggesting there is some sort of sensitivity setting that could be tweaked.
Still not possible to minimize using a tap in the top right corner, and also in this version I've noticed the blank headshot placeholder used for contacts without pictures is now not aligned (however the ones with pictures look very nice with the fancy reflection effect!).
I think the bottom line is the person responsible for this excellent app doesn't have a VGA device available to him; guess we can only hope as such devices become more popular that more weight will be added behind fixing such issues.
got latest version,
just install and use black theme.
To select contacts, just tap theme, don't press. A tap does the trick, works great.

I use for some days contaccm as default contact manger, and all is runing fine on a Diamond touch with TF3D and with a VGA theme (utDark) find on this site.
Do you have a solution to affect this contact manager to the "all contact" button in contact screen of TF3D ??? an dalso in phone dialer ,?

Search for SSmaPA on XDA...
I'm really going to miss my purple HTC-ish theme....
You have to try those to believe how good the Winterface application is. I saw the review on Tiltsite.com today, downloaded it and immediately loved it. It is extremely finger friendly, the interface is very intuitive and beautifully designed. It also uses minimum amount of system resource thus is very efficient.

Their FunContacts is also a gem to have. Extremly finger friendly, smooth scrolling of the contact list like the iPhone. It absolutely replaces the old school "stylus-required" contact application included in WM6.1.

I've also tried their Zoomboard application, I think it's a good concept, however there is room for improvement. It is still quite slow to type on the Zoomboard application. However the accuracy of the text is improved dramatically because of the zoomed in text let you see what you've pressed on the screen. But it still can't beat Kaiser/Tilt's excellent keyboard for typing.

Enough said, I strongly encourage people to try it out. It will be a investment well spend. They also have a whole lot of other nicely designed applications on their webpage, check them out too.

seems like alot to spend on a couple of good apps that already exist freely...iContact, HTC album (for the photo thing) and even the (Samsung Glyde copy) button interface all exist free of charge. I'd have to see better to be convinced to put down $40 for 2 apps.
how do you install over an existing GUI... today screen , start menu, taskbar, etc???..
does it wipe them all out?
can you go back easily?
tahnx

Conflicts
Do you know of any conflicts with this app? I have HHC installed right now.

You slide your finger in an arc to enable the interface from your home screen or anywhere else. You can click okay button and easily go back to normal interface if you choose to do so.
When phone is unlocked in Winterface, you can "slide to unlock" the phone with a touch of a finger.
I installed this over Garmin's DK1 WM6.1 cooked rom, so far everything works smooth as silk. Garmin's DK1 includes HTC Home v2.0.1812282.1 that I enabled in my home screen. This app run dependent of HTC Home plugin so there is no problems that I found.
In my opinion this app totally replaces HTC Home just because it is much more intuitive (it displays # of new message you got or # of missed calls you have and stuff like that). Couple finger movement after you can reach almost any application on the phone.
I don't work for this company or anything... Just think it's a really cool app to try.
And after couple hours of useage, here is a little short list of pros and rooms for improvement:
Pro -
Extremly finger friendly, smooth flow, elegant design layout.
Low memory useage, fast start up anywhere in the OS.
Very intuitive interface, texts under icons are extremely useful, compare to some other apps who only incorporated icons.
Love to be able to mix and match the apps I need and put them in order I want.
Room for improvement -
Slide to unlock button will disappear if a phone call caused the phone to lock itself, the phone would also lock itself unwanted after a phone call is in progress. It is annoying because when you want to press the keys on the screen, you find the phone locked with slide to unlock.
Contrast of the default icons are rather low (The whites are a bit above mid gray color)
Would be nice to flip from first page to last and then from last to first in one direction.
Would be nice to have option to display non-clear type fonts, my eye don't see well under clear type fonts.
Too bad SMS-Chat and FunContact have problem displaying typed text in landscape orientation in windows mobile 6.1 device (no problem in 6.0 though), or they would work great alone side Winterface.

so, how do i get that display of clock and slide to unlock?
edit :: wait, i get it.. this doesnt come w/anything else..
i like it -- really fast and nice to look at..
thanx..
Hmm,
I found quirks about the FunContact... Clear Type fonts used in that application will make all the typed in text display go blank when viewed in landscape mode... not recommended......

I think it does, the system wouldn't even let me enable clear type on landscape mode... Maybe that's why all those apps that use cleartype in landscape mode would not display typed text properly

I personally LOVE the Zoomboard because of it's accuracy when typing one-handed (usually while driving). Obviously, I also prefer the regular hard keyboard, but we all know that's not always an option.
What free software that is similar to Zoomboard are you talking about?
