Depending on what you want to change, I find it easier to pull and edit apks, which you can learn how to do here - [Guide] Hacks and mods: Three tutorials for modifying your x10 OS aesthetically

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
Nice. I've build cabs...
Hello,
is it possible to customize our own landscape and portrait background picture ?
regards,
(if so please specify which folder in the /windows)

haha well i though this skin is so brilliant that nobody wants to go back to the original one lol..
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
did u take a look at this thread ?

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
Does anyone know how to change a sngle icon image on the htc hd2? I have got garmin mobile xt but the icon is very blurry and wondering if anyone has got a clearer icon image and how to replace just one single icon on the htc hd2.
By the way is there some way to increase the resolution of the icons. I've noticed some icons are sometimes more clearer than other.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Can anyone of you provide me the StatusSwitch.apk (widget) from your X10 mini. It's available in /system/app, you can use rootexplorer or something else..
I actually screwed up my widget while trying to make it transparent
I have already made RecentCalls widget transparent please see the screenshot and you may use it if you like it.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/5182056970/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/5181456837/
All you have to do is transfer RecentCalls.apk to your sdcard and using rootexplorer copy it to '/system' first, change the permissions as shown in the image

Yes, it is in Settigs.apk/res/drawble-ldpi
The problem is they are all .9.pngs, so if you happen to make transparent post it here. If you are not sure of what .9.png is, read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5206698. Its much different than editing a normal png.
I have switchpro widget (its only 99c US or 74 Euro Cents ) its awesome.. really easy to change the look, you can have 1-8 buttons a mix of whatever you like or heaps of single button widgets you can move around if you prefer, you can make it transparent, glass or normal (grey) you can change the colour of the icons, and the notification colour at the bottom...

I'm tring to create my own dock bar.
it doesn't seem to be difficult
when i create an image on the photoshop it looks transparent
but when I push it into the phone the transparent parts look black.
I compared my dock bar to this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898057 by cryshop
and both look transparent in photoshop.
still when I push cryshop's dock bar it looks transparent unlike mine..
I guess there's something I don't understand about the images..
please somebody explain to me how to make the images transparent on the phone
Save it as PNG-24 with transparency checked! This through "Save for WEB or device" menu... Maybe you didn't check transparency? Or if you did, you might want to optimize those png's - see here... Cheers
Saved as png24 with transparency checked - didn't work
optimized with optiPNG - didn't work
still on phone looks black
please help if you can
can you upload the psd file? I'd see if there's something wrong with it

I drew a proposal, but do not know to create a mod, drew in a way that serves as an example.
Used as a basis:
- "GLOWbean - Silver Status BAR"
- Icons of Windows phone
- Small base of stock
I created an example in photoshop and Illustrator.
Thank you for your attention :fingers-crossed:
Nice design I like it, it's simple not like the majority of the ugly themes round here. Maybe bobfrantic can help you, he know how to make statusbars, he made some nice ones with middle clock, maybe he has some time, ask him. Or maybe you will get help from other moder who know how to theme a statusbar, good luck

I do not have ...
I can create, but wanted a base sizes.
You could send me a package, or some measurements?
Example: 3x4mm, if you want to png, gif...
Or use the same icons of "GLOWbean - Silver Status BAR" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2152667)
modifying the space where it is the name of the mobile operator. As in my example.
