My iPhone Theme (finalized and includes instructions)
 
Well a lot of people have been asking about my skin, and lots of noobs are around, asking for help trying to get themes working (mainly the iPhone theme :roll: ), anyway, I decided I would spend my day working on making the theme accessible, iron out some bugs, and write up a doc on getting these things to work like you want them to.

I hope everyone enjoys it, I've been tweaking this for a while now. The included writeup should help with geting everything working easily. Included is everything that is required to get my themes working, and suggestions for things to make them better. I also included Photoshop documents of my dialer skin and an easy icon maker psd for you to make the theme just the wayyou want it (for advanced users). The writeup is step-by-step in getting your theme not just up and running, but modding it to be what you want it to be, and I think i made it pretty easy.

I did just throw this together though, So there may be something missing from the folder structure that I claimed would be there from the writeup, but I hope not. If so, just PM me or leave a message here and I'll repack it.

If you have any questions or problems, please reply or send me a PM. This is my first attempt at doing, well anything, and I'd like to be nice.

Edit: I forgot to include "cleaning up" in my doc, so here is a simple version:
Once you are up and running, you may go into the iPhone WAD folder and delete the extra icons you arent using to save some precious storage space, as well as delete all the default themes they throw in there (4 in total). Also, I am not sure if this helps with boot time, but I'm convinced it helps, and certainly doesnt hurt, to go to your settings, today screen settings, and uncheck all of the options aside from owner info, as some programs require the owner info to be there. This way it loads the home screen quicker, and by extension, the Wisbar Themes.

Edit 2 (embarrassed) :
I have been informed that for some people the bottom four buttons are not displaying upon loading the theme. i was hoping this wouldnt be the case, but it seems to be isolated as I've gotten positive reviews as well. For some reason the 4 at the bottom just dont show up sometiems after installing. Dont bother uninstalling though, as it is an easy fix. Just hold the stylus down, select new shortcut, point it to the app of the button you are going for, select the images associated with that app, with the carbon fiber border and the "_p" for the pressed path, and uncheck "display the shortcut's text" in text settings. Now you have to hold the stylus down on the button and select adjust position and move it over so that the carbon fiber bottom lines up perfectly and it is in the right place. do the same for mail, web and ipod. here are my positions to make it quicker:
phone: x-9, y-234
mail: x-66, y-234
web: x-123, y-234
ipod: x-179, y-234

to create the red buttons displaying missed calls and text messages (incase those didnt show up either)
the red button: hold stylus, select new>button, the images for both normal and pressed is missedcall.tga, and the action and action2 are both set to none. move this to the upper right corner of your phone and mail icons

to put the numbers in the buttons, hold stylus, select new>text, and object type is custom text, text to display is %MissedCalls% or %Unread:SMS%, align is center, tap action is none and font is tahoma size7 bold, all colors 255

Would this work on Windows Mobile 6 on the Sprint Mogul. I noticed you put WM5.

lazyboy0172 07-03-2007 12:42 AM

it should work with WM6, hell, it could even work in lower than WM5. I put WM5 cause it is what I have, and is the only thing I tested it on. I have a 6700.
