Update: v1.0.2
-Removed the drawn-on status box from the default backgrounds making alpha blending for statusbox and smartdial always available. (no more grayed-out dropdowns)
-Added a check to see if the background images from loaded skins still exist in the same location. It'll tell you now if it can't find them as opposed to just crashing, hehe.

Great work and thanks for keeping it going! One thing though. For some reason using gloss numbers you can select white digits which is what I want to use but it is always greyish looking. Now it doesn't do that on the call history numbers? Could you tell me how to fix this?

Thanks

It comes out greyish as opposed to white because the gloss is an overlay ontop of the numbers. A fix would be to open TDial\Styles\Gloss.png in photoshop and set the alpha really low, then save as Gloss2.png in your TDial\Styles folder. Any transparent pngs placed in that folder will show up in the Gloss menu next time you run TDial.

Next version though I should be able to add an extra % dropdown for the amount of gloss added which would save time from having to make your own pngs of the same gloss with different alphas.

Cool if you could do that in the next update that would be great because I do not work with photoshop nor own it...

Thanks

For some reason, for me, activesync did not see the /windows directory. What I did was use active sync to move the dialer skin to my storage card. Its in a new folder called New Skin. Then I went onto my xv6700 and opened up the folder called new skin. Copied all files. Then went into /windows directory on my xv6700 and pasted everything. It asked me if I wanted to overwrite other files and I selected all. Did a soft reset, and everything works fine. For some reason my computer does not see /Windows directory.

This is a great program...

Here are some basic gloss png's that I have designed that some of you may find useful.

Any feedback would be useful.

Great work on the glosses, and welcome to PPCGeeks!
I was waiting for someone to come up with some prettier ones. I'm not that great with photoshop .

Do you mind if I add them to the styles folder for the next version?
Anyone who doesn't mind sharing their artwork in releases I'll add to the "about" message too.

Not at all, in fact if you need help with anything else let me know.
I have never used my Photoshop skills for anything like this before, but if you want to check out some of my artwork goto http://www.myspace.com/sethshore
