Vista Keyboard

[Polen]

This was designed for the Sprint Touch only.

Here's my latest creation, The Vista Keyboard and Keypad.

As many of you know I like Vista icons and it's look, so little by little I've been redoing the graphics of my Sprint Touch to look more like Vista.

My latest conversion is the English version of the HTC Keyboard(20) and Keypad(12) skin. The buttons look like they came off the task bar of Vista and the icons are from Vista. The buttons have a nice 3D effect with an outer glow of blue. I modeled it after the Vista Dialer skin I created, so It looks like I'm creating a theme here.

All that I changed was the English version of the graphics, no modifications to the registry or programs. This install will replace 60 image files.

As always I made you a Cab file that can be uninstalled if you don't like it.

Demo


Using Paul's Redbox idea from mordaco.com I came up with a Vista Keyboard with a RedXT9 button. The VistaKeyboardRedXT9.zip is my full install with the RedXT9 button. If you already have my VistaKeyboard installed this install will remove it and add it back with the RedXT9 button.

You know I have been using the default "Blueish Green" WM6 theme on my phone but if you keep this up I am going to have to switch to a black theme!

Great Work! I am currently using your cube, your dialer skin and now installing you keyboard!

He might be referring to the other "more colorful" "Vista Cube" that someone else made.

I would like this as well since I am contemplating disabling the "SureType" keypad and going completely with the full Qwerty.

I like the dark earth tones of the HTC Theme, it just needs a little spash of color here and there, with some 3D effects to lift it off the screen.

Yeah, my Graphics skills are getting better, but before I redo my Vista Cube with these new techniques and graphics, I want to skin the Comm Manager, Camera, HTC Home and HTC Sprint Home first, then I'll probably give my current Vista Cube an update.
