why the welcome screens are 208x208 or 320x320 that made a square, when it would be rectangle.. when I put those welcome screen, it appear with a large black line in the bottom.. would I have to convert the images?

It must be a 320x320 file to work in portrait or landscape mode.
If you want a file only compatible portrait make a 240x320 image, and for landscape is 320x240

how do you replace the welcomehead png,I keep getting no access as the file is in use.
I've tried a SR before replacing but no dice, and I cant get the properties of the old file up to change the management rights.
Thanks in advance
just copied it over active sync....

Hi,
For all of you who doesn't like the gray color or are tired of the same old touch look, I made a new dialer skin. If you have PDVIET 4.0.0.0.6 or you have installed touch style dial pad, all you have to do is to copy these files to your windows and soft reset. I don't have time to make a proper cab file, but feel free to make a cab file out of these and share it with us
oh by the way the dialer skin is only for portrait mode, later on I will make a landscape too.
I also installed the transparent home plug in icons, I uploaded them before, but I'm gonna upload them along my other files.all you have to do is copy all the .png files to your windows folder and soft reset.
I hope you like it

all you have to do is overwrite the attached images to your windows folder
If you want your home pluging Icons back, sorry i don't have them , you have to hard reset.
It is nice , but I found it too bright
it is not easy to see in the sunlight, may be with another text colour will be nicer
thanks for help
its nice, but if im gonna change the background picture im gonna have to change the buttons too, maybe you should remodel the dialer in a way that the background of the numbers is transparent ?

If you look closely at the buttons that i posted , they are transparent (look at the numbers) the thing is that i haven't found a dialer dll that supports transparent images. If you found a dialer that you could simply change the background image, let me know

Photoshop Files
Okay, I promised that I'm gonna make a dialer skin so that everybody can change it just by changing one background image! well i tried and I didn't succeed. but for those of you who know Adobe Photoshop, I attached the psd file so you can use it to make your own dialer. all you have to do is to change the background layer and save your file as a png file. If you don't know Photoshop just don't bother, I really can't explain further. also you have to overwrite the button images with the images in the zip file. If you know Photoshop and you want to make a dialer for yourself, look at my psd file, trust me it will help feel free to share your creative dialer skins with us

Touch and touchlike dialers
Guys, hdialerere is my 2 cents about the touch (and derived) dialers
Positive: nice big buttons
Negative:
1) The photo is awfully small, even smaller than in the standard wm6 dialer
2) 2 buttons are missing: speed dial and history. You have to open these functions with options. not funny
3) There is still some space left on top that can be used.
I hope that someone can make a dialer with these buttons and with a bigger photo. Thx.

Thank you hma4! Excellent work all around. Question: I run linux and have access to GIMP which can do many of the things Photoshop can...is the layer method supported in GIMP as well? I'm wondering if there is a step by step tutorial on the net somewhere and willing to google for it...always willing to learn something new although I am in no way or shape an artist.

GIMP opens psd files and also supports layers. for tutorial for GIMP you can visit here: http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/
here is what you can do, try to open the .psd file that I uploaded couple of posts above, then if you could see my file in different layers then you can work your way from there. you have to make 3 .png files, namely:
Progress_BkgdP.png
Dialer_BkgdP.png
indialer_ps.png
all you have to do is look at those layers, one of them is the background image, try to change that to what ever you like, another layer is the button masks so you have to overlap that on your background, and finally save the file in .png format with the names that I mentioned.
I really can't write a thorough tutorial for this, I think if you spend a little time you can figure it out all by yourself.
Good luck don't forget to share your creative work with us

Here comes my own problem with changing icons on Cube...^^
Not only assigned icons with DustomMediaHub, I killed the default icons by replacing different graphics made by myself with the same names to see how far it could go....
The problem is no matter how hard I try, the default icons stick on the cube during its animation. Hopefully someone can crack the mystery one day^^
pic 1, pic 2 are cube with repleced icons, unpressed and pressed respectively; pic 3 is the animation of cube without the repleced icon...

That is totally normal. The animation of the spinningaround is prefabbed. Just a little movie that is already there and isn't based on the actual screens. That's much easier to achieve without to much memory-demand. Keep in mind that it was not ment to change icons.

Sorry, I didn't dive into it, so I don't know where the animation is located. But another detail to this matter, have you noticed that the contactpictures change to the Gray Head illustration just before spinning?
the animations are .brn files A0.brn A1.brn A2.brn A3.brn A4.brn A5.brn
and B0.brn 1-2-3-4-5 C0.brn 1-2-3-4-5
those are the once that do the animation I had a program one but can't find it now called brntobmp.exe that could convert these files into bmp images

hello, if you found the program , please post it here i'm interested too
Okay , I think we can improve the way we use the touch Flo dramatically !!
I changed the name of those brn files and i was able to change the rotation of cubes. For example i renamed A0.brn to A5.brn and A5.brn to A0.brn and the cube rotates from left to right when it was suppose to rotate from right to left ! Anyways , what i'm trying to do is to change the order of animations so when we activate the touch flo, instead of activation animation ( images coming from bottom ) we see the deactivation animation ( images coming from top to bottom) ... I hope you understand what I'm saying.
The problem is i can't find those animation file responsible for activation and deactivation of cubes .. Please somebody help
What I'm trying to do is to slide into the cubes and out of them , just inverse of Touch.. so when we slide our finger from top to bottom , the cubes will appear from top to bottom.

Smart Thinking!
Additional information:
Files A0-C5 are for the rotation (direction)
Files MH01-MH03HL are for Mediahubmini (pressed and unpressed)
Files MH_2_01-MH_2_03HL are for Applauncher (pressed and unpressed)
Files QD_Bkgd and QD_2_Bkgd are for Quickdial (the lower part)
Files MH_Bkgd.brn and MH_2_Bkgd.brn remians unknown (but the pair affects Mediahubmini by adding black lines between the taps)
I wonder whether the appearance and disappearance are brn files, for all files above seem to be all brns in windows folder. And if there are indeed some more brns responsible for the appearance/disappearance, the quantity of the missing files must be 6 or 12 according to the patterns of the animation (hard to believe so, though. ^_^)

Hi, brother, maybe you are right, but the observation tells me another story^^
The animations do change accordingly whatever page is been viewed--which means Applauncher.exe, MediaHubnini.exe and Quickdial.exe are plausibly all responsible for the animations^^

are there any themes for cube?
Splash animation???
Hi sorry i have not tested any touch/nontouch rom till date but my question is :
Does any of these floating roms have splash screen animation runnig???
sorry if its offtopic
Seek and found?
Any good news about the brntobmp.exe here?
I think it would be great to modify the cube animations.

find the "default" welcome screen (i guess you can google it) .. the file name is welcomehead.96.png in windows folder. You have to overwrite this file with the one you found and do a soft reset.
You can also look at the welcome screen that I designed and if you liked it use that one :

http://lubbad.com/Vista%20Abstract%20Dialer.cab
Want to make some cabs for dialers? Here is the first one. I extracted the dialer from my touch pro and then cabbed it for ease of installation. You can theme a dialer for your phone. Or change the buttons, and basically whatever you want.
Cab seems to be the only way since I cannot shut down cprog.exe for installation or png and bmp files to the windows directory. The cab does it well and requires a restart to complete. Here are the pics of what you get in the cab.
If you request some other theme I will see what i can do. Or I have attatched my original dialer and you can mess with the templates.
Just hard to put them in windows without a cab.
NICE work!!
Very nice, you don't happen to have the original PSD or XCF files you could share as well? I'd like to try some different backgrounds.
Nice job! Thanks for kicking this off! I have only seen one other dialer so in the PPC Kitchen.
I have a request i would like for this to be the background of the dialer.

Not sure if this is what you wanted
No, I was referring to the PhotoShop or Gimp files you used which just show the dialer buttons, frames, text, etc.. which would allow me to plug in my own background.
Not quite sure what those files are in the ZIP, Sprite Backup is what came up when I searched.
zip
the zip file in post one has the original frames and backgrounds
Ohh, so what you did was take the image, overlay it on top of the original and make it opaque/transparent?

Ok, you talked me into it. It does look nice.
BTW no better call waiting ability than the original.
Based on work by JMRRJMRR at this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=496931
I've managed to do something similar with QVGA and I like it much better than the hexagon grid.
1. To use the original version, copy the contents of StartMenuList.zip to the \Windows folder.
2. To use the easy cab version from witschey, simply copy and run "Single List Start Menu - Titanium.cab" on your device
3. To use drkfngthdragnlrd's modified cpr's (in case you want to experiment), copy the selected files from "Titanium Start Menu.zip." You then have a choice of page scrolling or line scrolling.
4. Another cab is to be found in Post 68, again from drkfngthdragnlrd
5. Another version (cab) from witschey is in Post 83
Backup your exsiting files first!
Screenshots attached.
Update added 23-Jul-09 includes a working selection "halo" round the active icon. I like it. For this one, just copy the contents of StartMenuList2.zip to your \Windows folder and restart.
New update added 31-Aug-09 based on great work from witschey and drkfngthdragnlrd's. Please take a look at post 84 and post 88 for the details.

Really??I only see 6 icons,with honeycomb i would at least have 9 icons 12 with the 4 row update...
Nice work looks good,it would be great if you could add 2 columns side by side,instead of 6 icons you would have 12 and it would still be very finger friendly.
Edit:icons names would be below icons in a smaller font size.

You can do that but because it forces a hexagon arrangement the second item in the row would appear below and to the right of the first.
I agree that you get more icons with the hexagon - it's just I find it hard to look up or down hexagons having got so used to columns and rows. The hexagon just looks untidy to me and this seems to be the only way to get some order.
An option could be to reduce the height of the rows and have, say 12 rows instead of 6. I like this as it is, though, especially as I can put icons in logical groups like media, games etc and it's very finger-friendly.
Thanks for the feedback

Our eyes are trained to scan horizontally or vertically but not diagonally.
The honeycomb structure is indeed the most finger friendly one, but it's not user frinedly as it does look messy and unstructured.
