Guys,
Not sure which version has the phone skin as below but I know it is not the HTC or Vodafone. If possible can someone please dump and zip the relevant files for this skin if they have it (English version).
Just to add, I have tried to disable the operator skin but it then only gives me a 2D plain pad with no Video Button etc...
Many Thanks
There are some phone skins HERE in the wiki, however, I don't think the one your looking for is there...yet.
Thanks, I had already tried all the skins listed. I presume this one is the default "3D" WM5 phone Skin, not positive though. Most have replaced this with their own skin in the actual rom rather than external rom.
Someone must have this though, perhaps on Orange, 02 or Dopod version.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I think I got it all...

This is the default installed dialpad from the latest Hermes i-Mate ROM.
Hopefully I got every BMP and DLL file associated with this dialpad. I also exported the registry items associated with this dialpad.
Try this:
Unzip the files into the Windows directory on the Hermes, then import the included registry file.
Let me know if I missed anything.
Thanks Freshster,
After some persevering with copying the files over all looks fine except the VT Button, for some reason this is still the same as before despite the files being overwritten. I also have VCBtn.. and VTBtn.. files (may be due to previous installs. I have renamed your files to these, and copied them over, this changes the button but it is not perfect as there are pink corners visible and the is no text etc.. on it.
Also looks like the .dll that contains the Call History Icons overwrites the Icon that displays the "G" "U" in the top bar, I used to have 3G etc.. but now have "G" and "U".
Also, the Icons whilst in the Video page have not changed.
One more thing thing, the IntelliDialler small icons are not there either, on my v1650 they are in a file called "indialer_calltype.bmp", in fact need all the Intellidialler files..... as mine is all grey.
Have played for a while now but am at a loss, sorry.....
Any advise appreciated.
Greatly appreciate you time on this.

Hi cieplowsk,
I have attached ALL of the BMP files currently in the i-Mate ROM Windows directory. This should help you find which images you are missing.
I don't know if I can help you with the G and U problem, but these BMPs should help fix the VT Button, Video page, and Intellidialer icons.
Let me know how it goes.
Copying all the files, once I had removed non phone connected ones worked a treat, I now have the iMate Dialer which in my opinion is much nicer than the Vodafone and HTC ones....
The only thing left is for someone to butcher the .DLL`s to remove the Call History icons and stick them back in to the original Vodafone ones so that we can keep the 3G network icons rather than the U and G icons.
Oh and create a CAB file. Not asking much am I!
Thanks again for your time and effort!
Thanks. Just installed it too!
Cab would be great too.
One more thing I have just noticed, after changing the background on the phone pad, is thet the Video button and the other buttons on the Video Call page do not have transparent corners.
I have just spent a while editing the bmp`s and colouring the corners with colour R=255, G=0, B=255 (Magenta) in Corel Photo Paint (did not change the bmp format and it appears to be the same as the other bmps which are correct). When loaded the corners actually come out magenta rather than transparent. I guess I am missing something somewhere Any budding artists out there care to elighten me or have a go?
Cheers.
Hi cieplowski,
I had the same problem, but after adding the registry keys in the previous post it will work.
I've made a CAB file so you can install it in one go.
Cheers,
Drifter
Thanks Drifter,
Nice work but I think that there may be an isssue as when I install it does not skin the Video button at all, not sur if some files are missing from the cab. Have tried 3 times now.
Cheers!
Did you try a Soft Reset after installation?
CAB file seems to work with my HTC.
Cheers,
Drifter
Yeah several times, will try again later tonight. May be down to the fact I have the Vodafone version and the phone pad is in rom...
If I manually copy over the files it is ok.
On the other point re. the corners of the Video button, even if I import the reg. settings, then change the wallpaper to something lighter in colour the corners are not transparent, it you edit the .bmp files you can see that the corners on the video button are not transparent but filled in.
Cheers.

How did you create the CAB? What prog did you use?
It seems that you are missing some files in there, like the important DLL files listed in the registry settings. You have also included some unnecessary BMP files.
Thanks for your work.
Freshster,
I've used your second post with attachment to make this cab file.
But used the registry key from the first.
Now I see these dll file from the first and forgot to implement them in my cab file.
This could be the problem for cieplowski.
I will make a new one but should I use the first or second post?
I've use WinCE Cab manager for making these files

Hi Drifter,
Please find attached .zip with all the necessary files, I think. not sure if you know how but many of the .bmp`s are missing transparent corners.
You can see this if you view them as thumbnails or open them. This does cause a problem if you change the background from the default one supplied as some of the buttons no longer have nice rounded corners.
I have tried to edit them as mentioned above but have not been successful.
Can someone advise on what program to use to make these transparent and the process. I am happy to edit them all but just need to know the process.
Cheers.

This does look like all of the files necessary.
For the transparency problem I would take a look at the following link and make sure you are doing everything correctly:
http://buzzdev.net/component/option,com_simpleboard/Itemid,59/func,view/catid,36/id,5075/#5075
The two things that I would be sure of is:
1) the transparent color is : RGB=FF,00,FF (255,0,255)
2) you have to create buttons and background in bmp 8 bits 256 colors
Hope this helps, but the original files should have worked for you, not unless your ROM is looking for a different transparency color. Which ROM are you using? Can you post screenshots of the problem images?
Hi Freshter,
I cannot post anything at the moment as left my phone at the office. However if you have time could you change the Bkgnd_Land.bmp file to one much lighter in colour, hopefully you will then see that the corners are not transparent on the Video Call button (and all other vidoe related buttons). From what I can see using the supplied background just disguises these corners. If you open, for example, VTBtnDn_Port.BMP in any editor or viewer you will see that the corners are not transparent (magenta) in colour and they even have a gradient so cannot be transparent.
I am pretty sure the rom and all eles is ok, as the other files, which if examined will show the corners as a magenta colour and these are transparent on my phone, it is only all the Video related buttons which do not have the transparency on them.
I shall keep looking to see why my efforts were not successful in sorting the corners so far.
Cheeers.
Hope this explains things a little better.

I made the background lighter and I see what you mean now.
It seems that the Video buttons may have something to do with a resource dll, but I can't find which one it is.
Check out the following link; it shows how to fix the Video button on a MDA Pro, but our ROM doesn't contain the "phcanlrc.dll" or the "phcanprc.dll" files to modify.
http://buzzdev.net/component/option...view/id,13650/catid,36/limit,15/limitstart,0/
This is something to really think about.
I guess you could just modify the BMP files to match your background, but that would be tedious.
Hi everybody,
at the end a contribute of mine... Hope you will find interesting.
I finally find out what is needed to change both the Title and the Icon in the main WM6 taskbar. You can see attached my mod with no text and Htc green arrow icon. I'm building up a guided procedue to act if I find you really interested and if moderator finds it legal . For the moment I can only suggest you that you have to modify shellres.192.dll in order to change the Icon (icon numbers 292/293) and shellres.dll.xxxx.mui in order to change the Start text (xxxx is localization code i.e. 0410 for Italy!).
Let me know what do you think about it and then I'll go on with the suggestions!
Cheers!
Guided Procedure:
---------------------------
What you need:
1 ROM Extractor for WM
2 Res Hacker
3 Siggner (attached)
4 Resco Explorer/Total Commander
5 You can change the Start Title editing the shellres.dll.xxxx.mui at the string table resource number 321
6 You can change the Icon editing the shellres.192.dll file at the Icon Resource number 292/293 (Icon must be 21x21)
First of all you have to extract those two files from \Windows folder of your device. Those file are blocked because ROM so you need the freeware ROMExtractor to copy them from \Windows to the internal storage folder. Then you can copy them on your PC hard-drive to manipulate. !!Keep them safe because they are your original ones!!
To edit them you absolutely need the freeware Res Hacker. Open the files with it and edit the resource as you want. Save. Normally ResHacker make an original copy of the file. If not, be sure to keep safe your originals!
When you save your changes, the dlls lose their integrity and you absolutelly must sign them again to let your device accepts as originals.
Use attached Mssigner to act like that.
If txt log says succeded (not the application, you have to check the txt file to verify if it's succeded!) now you are ready to copy those files back to yor \windows on the device. Use Resco Explorer o Total Commander to do that.
Overwrite when you're asked.
Soft Reset...
Is everything all right!!?
When you'll become confortable with the proc you will probably be able to edit a lot more of Windows resource and customize your system!
Let me know your tries, guys!
that is very nice. I haad never liked those letters, however i would like to keep the windows logo.
Nice! Because I use WkTASKchange, the application icons in the taskbar let me know what is running, but they also cover the focused application title. That looks bad. So, I'd like to remove the application title in the taskbar. Without changing the Start icon, if possible. Although it sure is nice to change that as well
how do i change the "start" text? where do i get images (ie ".ico") to replace the original windows icon( preferably a black logo of windows)?
Thanks.

Not connected to the post.. but do you use wktask successfully on your diamond ? I cannot manage to hide a task called demarrage... even with no process i have a process windows near to the start menu...
It can be cool to hide the start menu if it helps to put more things in the task bar

Sorry for the off topic.. Yes, WkTASK Manager works fine. I've excluded manila.exe, repllog.exe and HTCActionScreen.exe, through the Preferences - Excluded tab, for instance. Not familiar with your demarrage process though..
Wonderful. Why don't you tell us exactly how to do it? Would really appreciate it.

Thats a nice idea
Or something like this:
What size does the icon need to have? and does it have to be a .ico or can it be any image?
I hope the most answers are on the first post!
Wait for your replies!
BRICKED!
Well, that didn't go too well!
The first attempt resulted in a bricked phone, I had to hard reset as it wouldn't boot. The second attempt I was a bit more careful but now all my icons appear messed up (in File Explorer folders and files are books and message icons, no start icon at all etc.).
I'm a bit confused by the instructions, firstly, in shellres.192.dll, if I export icon 292 with Res Hacker it is 41x36. If I have a look at Icon Group 4609 it is listed as a 41x41 icon. I know you mentioned it should be 21x21 but this doesn't seem right, I would have expected 32x32!
Anyway, I tried from scratch using a 21x21 icon and it still messes up all my icons. I think I will leave it for now until someone makes an App or Cab file.
I am using SwiftBL v7 ROM by the way
Mmm... Strange...
Since I found out the trick it's my 10/12nd attemp to change icons and texts and everytime it worked fine!!
Anyway, her you are some information (Look the attachment):
- I'm on official rom 1.93.408 ITA (the htc official latest one)
- after a lot of succesfully changes on my device I can absolutely say that icon must be 32x23 16M colors and the right icon is number 292.
I will take some time to understand what's the difference on your ROM...
Let's keep in touch...
isnt there an easy way to change them letters?
I noticed the same issue's as wired69 did.
But in your instructions you say that the icon size has to be 21x21 but later you post and i quote:
- after a lot of succesfully changes on my device I can absolutely say that icon must be 32x23 16M colors and the right icon is number 292.

If so could you please update your instructions.
Do you only have to change icon number 292 or both 292/293? That was a bit confusing to.
Hoping you will help.
P.S. Which certificate do you use for the signing part because the .mui signes just fine but the .dll does not.
You can read HERE how to change your icon.

Indeed my friend!
Bricked, but solved now !
Hello,
when I had two times bricked my diamond after signing and installing new mui file, I found, where the problem was.
I removed "Start" text from menu for better view of WkTask, then I signed file with mssigner. When I copied new mui to windows folder, my diamond became a brick :O The main problem was in missing SDKCert.cab. Because when you are signing with SDK certs edited mui, you have to install SDKCerts.
Now it looks for my needs, screenshot included.
Bye
This thread is to share your 15 tab icon sets. I didnt create any of the icons, I just sized them and put them together in the manilla files (see my screenshot below). If you like them just run the cab on you HD.
** Update 12/6/2008 ***
Added a game systems icon set. These are icons of game consoles (NES, Dreamcast, Xbox, PS3 etc.) I will add a screenshot later. THey dont match up with anything specific to your phone function lol, just cool icons.
For icons that do not have a cab pelase follow TTDeg's advice for installing in the quote below:

This is some info I've picked up along the way, which MAY help anyone else thinking of playing here
First up - there are 2 manila files per icon.
I've called them Big and Small, just for ease of Ref
The Big one is the one which is displayed in the main 'window' of the phone as you drag over the tabs.
The Big one is displayed along the bottom of the screen
The Small one is displayed as you move your finger across the tabs, and is displayed 'in front' (over the top of) the Big one.
The Big ones are 128x128 pixels, and the Small ones seem to be 64x64 (but also seem to work if you use 128x128, so I need to dig further on that...) <<Mallman prefers 128x128 on both so the sizes dont change but that is just a preference>>
To use your new icons, you need to:
create them on your PC (Paintshop Pro or whatever)
convert them into manila files (Manila Editor for example)
Copy them to a seperate dir on the HD
Stop TF3D (Start, Settings, Today, Items [tab 2], untick TF3D)
Use a file explorer prog on the HD to copy them over the original manilas in the /windows dir. You can't do that from your PC, must be done on the HD itself.
Restart TF3D (reverse of above to stop it)
I strongly recommend you take a copy of the originals first, and put them somewhere safe
The 30 manila files are (in no particular order):
Name_____________BIG________SMALL

come on guys and gals, put together some sets of icons for mallman to install
Hi Mallman,
Slightly off topic could you tell me if you managed to modify your additional tabs to be duplicates of the "Program" tab?
I've not installed them yet as I'm trying to ascertain whether it is possible. What would be ideal (for me) is to have 3 or 4 additional "Program" tabs that could be renamed so that I could add my applications / settings / tools etc. (i.e something approaching the menu panel/s in sbp mobile shell).
Judging by your icons I think not, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
Let me know.
Cheers.

no sir, sure havent because i have absolutely no idea where to start If i were to try it I would simply copy the program tab and rename it to one of the other tabs but I dont know that it is that simple nor do I know if each tab is actually just 1 file. You should start a new thread dediacted to just that topic and have some folks brainstorm it. I will join in the fun

can t copy files
i tried to copy them to my /windows folder but my computer say i cant cause its protected or something. Anybody has a solution for this?

LMAO, thank you I find it strangely addictive. I hope the work I have done is helping you. Simply unzip the files I have posted and you an "open path" with manil editor and see all the files and what they match up too in the TF3D interface. Get a good handle on it because I want to install some of your creations as we My goal is to completely overhaul all the graphics. Just takes lots of testing changes of manila files. Not hard, just time consuming
hmmm - this is harder than it looks! LOL
I'm having problems getting nice clean lines on the edges of my pics
What res are you saving them as before converting to manilas?
I went with creating a 128x128 pixel .png file
Dumped in the icon to pretty much fill it - which looks good at 1:1 view in paint shop pro, and saved that as the big version.
Then resized to 50%, pasted that into a new 128x128 .png, and saved that as the small version.
But when I convert to manila, then drag to my HD and restart TF3D, the icon in the tabflo looks good, the bigger verson (when you drag over it) just looks 'ok', and the biggest version (middle of the main screen) looks frankly pretty poor

I am using 128x128 exclusively. Some pics I get are not sized that way so I just change them in photoshop to 128x128. I also use PS to make transparency. Post a few screeners showing what you mean becuse im a little slow and having a hard time following what you are describing
my bad
My last step was to set the transparency, and the option I was using to go down to 256 colours was resulting in some jagged edges (couldn't see them in PS).
Working better now - will plow on now I know where I was going wrong LOL
cheers again!
I can confirm however that this isn't going to be up to production standards just yet...
Pretty close now...
mallman, could you please confirm the manila name for the small stock icon?
I've updated 34588a9a, but it's the only one which is still displaying the previous (std) icon instead of one of my new ones?

haha i know your pain. No i cant actually because i gave up tryign to figure it out when i finally just updated 4 manila files and of those 4 the icon was changed. i didnt feel like doing the research of replacing them again to figure out which actually did it. I resolved myself to just changing 4 files when i want to update the stock icon I know, im a slack ass but that is just how I roll
LOL!
ok.............
Thought I had it - but I don't.
small icons are 64x64, not 128x128.
And I thought I'd sussed which one was used in the main screen...
And my stock one was right up to the edge...
resized everything, dumped it all back in.
And now it looks worse - the background icons (small ones I think) are resized to bigger than my big ones.
and the stock STILL doesn't work right.
and it's midnight.
So I'm off to bed before I end up staying up till silly o'clock LOL
Hi.
Could those icons themes be used for the standard tabs?. I haven't installed the 15 tab set (well I tried, but I finally didn't like how it looks), so I keep the standard tabs.
I suppose that if I install those iconsets the new icon will appear in the standard tabs anyway....
Thanks.
yes (I think), and no...
I haven't tried, so I can't confirm that they will - but as I've been replacing the manila files left right and centre, of the 30 I've replaced, most of them gave a 'the file you are replacing is part of the ROM, are you sure?' message.
Which I take to mean that they are the ones used by standard TF3D.
The extra files just won't be used
I can't see any reason not to try it - but as ever, I would suggest taking a backup of the manila files you are about to replace, just in case
In the interim, whilst trying not to give into temptation to pull the rest of my hair out, this is some info I've picked up along the way, which MAY help anyone else thinking of playing here

The Big one is the one which is displayed in the main 'window' of the phone as you drag over the tabs.
The Big one is displayed along the bottom of the screen
The Small one is displayed as you move your finger across the tabs, and is displayed 'in front' (over the top of) the Big one.
The Big ones are 128x128 pixels, and the Small ones seem to be 64x64 (but also seem to work if you use 128x128, so I need to dig further on that...)
To use your new icons, you need to:
create them on your PC (Paintshop Pro or whatever)
convert them into manila files (Manila Editor for example)
Copy them to a seperate dir on the HD
Stop TF3D (Start, Settings, Today, Items [tab 2], untick TF3D)
Use a file explorer prog on the HD to copy them over the original manilas in the /windows dir. You can't do that from your PC, must be done on the HD itself.
Restart TF3D (reverse of above to stop it)
I strongly recommend you take a copy of the originals first, and put them somewhere safe
The 30 manila files are (in no particular order):
Name_____________BIG________SMALL

*****Note the Big Sock icon might not be right - it's the only one which doesn't seem to display when I change it, but I'm still playing - might be the icon I'm trying to use...
Looking for the black keyboard in yota contacts to be used as all keyboards. Essentially i want Diamond original to be black
****************************
Allright LADIES and GENTS, Found THE nicest KEYBOARD in BLACK!
Step 1: Unzip File and copy the unzipped folder directly under PROGRAM FILES on you DEVICE (not INTERNAL)
Step 2: Run fingerkey_register file and select yes!
Step 3: Reboot Phone, and under SETTING, KEYBOARD select Finger Keyboard for Default keyboard
** If you dont like the PGDN buttons on the bottom, no fear
Rename SKIN file in SKINS DIR to SKIN3 and rename the rename SKIN1 to SKIN.
The page down buttons will now appear on the 123 page.
PS Found that on Touch HD ported roms, everytime you reboot phone it defaults to TOUCH KB, so just hit keyboard button at bottom and select finger. If anyone can fix this that would be great!
TO REMOVE - Unregistered it, then soft reset. Now go and delete the entire FingerKeyb folder. That should remove it all.
If the yota keyboard could be used as the normal keyboard is would be awesome!
IT CAAAAAAAANT!!!
does the yota phone use the normal diamond type keyboard for the rest of windows?
I inverted colours in some keyboard files now, I'll post them in few days, when I edit all of them.
That looks amazing keemot, im looking forward to it

Hey.
does it exist anything able to make the keyboards on Diamond ROM 203 swe to become black? i've tried alot of things and it always ends with a Hardware reset.
would have been nice with a black skin for the Dial app too. now i'm using assets_black dial, but i need to copy the file after each soft reset.
finally,
I'm deeply impressed by all the hard work you guys have done, to develop some amazing apps/skins for the Diamond.

try to copy out the 2nd folder in FingerKeyboar... to device's Program Files. It works for me after doing so.
all i want is to have the same background on all tabs and to have a transparent slider.
I've been looking for this like a crazy person and tried at least 5 different cabs and none work.
Any one can help me out
Hello
I think i can help you.I was searching for background on all tabs by yesterday
Try hd wall.You will get a result better than you want.
1-Just drag and drop your desired wallpaper for portrait mode
2-Then press landscape on the ta-op then drag and drop a wallpaper fits your landscape mode.
3-Click config and choose your appropriate Manila version then come back
4-Click create cab then choose both "include portrait wallpaper" and "include landscape wallpaper" then press convert button.That conversion porcess will take approximately 2 minutes.
5-Don't forget to consider where you want your cab file to be created checking the option on the top right.
6-And give a name in application title
7-You are ready to go.Press create cab and your cab will be created to the folder you chose so transfer it to your ppc and install then restart.This solved my problem.
And here is the cab to give your slider glass look

Hope these two will solve your encountered issues.

Hey man, do you happen to have that glass slider cab that you could just post here? Rapidshare is a pain, and I want to see how this one compares to a couple of others I have that are intended to do the same thing. Thanks!

1) Is the cab I attached below one of the ones you've already tried?
2) If you've followed the steps above to install one of the HDWalls wallpapers, and it appears everywhere but your home tab, then you need to just follow the instructions HERE (it's a common thing for people to have to apply those steps when using HDWalls wallpapers)
whenever i've tried to install that BG for all pages wvga.cab file, it messes up my clock display. the clock get's huge & i can even read it. am i doing something wrong? i'm on Verizon & running Windows Mobile 6.5.

Thanks man, I don't know if I've tried this one before so I'll give it a shot when I get home today.
You can skip the weather animation, but thank you...I don't think it will work with my 6.1 ROM (or am I wrong..?)
hi again
although i still can't have a backround on all tabs on my 6.5 WM, but i have another question since u got to the weather issue.

Thanks again!!
