Futurama Home Screen Theme

UPDATE: The new version is up for download. It has more customized skins and the registry issue has also been sorted.

Use this link to download the new version :
Futurama v1.2 Download


Hi, I am a big Futurama fan and I was bit disappointed when I realised you can get home skins for lot of cartoons such as ‘The Simpsons’ but not for Futurama. So I decided to design one. It's my second attempt to design a skin for my phone. I will be making changes to it to fit my style. Comments are welcome.

This Home skin includes customized skins for:

-Home Screen
-Contact
-Start Menu
-Dialling Screen Including The Banner Image
-Incoming Call alert
-In Call Screen Including The Banner Image
-Volume Control Screen
-Question Screen
-alert Screen
-Information Screen
-Missed Call
&
-Windows Media Player Skin

As I said before it was my second attempt to design a skin therefore I will welcome all the comments. So I get to design a better one next time and make improvement to this one. I am thinking of making single character based skin such as one for just Bender, one for Fry and so on. I got bored of designing mod for CS so I decided to do something easy and simple and take less time. So if you have any ideas let me know.

Just realised it’s my first message since modaco changed. I used to post message here in very early stage of this forum. I have been keeping an eye on the forum all the time but don’t really get time give anything back to this forum. Hope you will like this one.

Oh by the way, many thanks to Midnight for the brilliant tutorial about skinning. And this time I am only sticking with designing skins, not any programs. Don’t really have the time or the talent like some people here. laugh.gif

Please Reboot your phone after installing the skin. Some skins needs the phone to be rebooted to work properly

I've installed it on my E200 (Unlocked), and it looks good. I had to set the homscreen manually though, and WMP hasn't been changed.

I am still waiting for my SPV E200. I have only tried it on E100 and the original Orange SPV canary. they both have smartphone 2002. but E200 runs smartphone 2003. so it might be a issue with the new operating system. i am not sure. i can not tell with-out trying it by my self.

and about the home screen selection, soetimes when you install a new skin it doesnt chage the home screen for some reason. it happens to modaco skin on mine. instead it goes back to default orange one. but its not a big problem. every thing else should change fine tho.

if anyone know anything about the WMP skining issue on smart phone 2003 then please let me know how to fix it. anywyas guys i have gotta go now. gotta move my stuff into the new flat.


Oh yea have you tried restarting the phone?? It better restating the phone to see the chage. windows media player takes time to unload the old skin.

sorry guys. just realised i have posted the wrong .cab
file. it will install everything, just wont show the home screen right after installation as i have typed in one of registry values wrong in that .cab file. that's why 'srider' had to select the home screen manually after installation. i am leaving this message from my phone. so i can't really post the right .cab file now. i have made some changes to screen too. so i will be posting the new .cab file tomorrow.

Posted from my SmartPhone!

Have given this one a test on my spv... really nice skin biggrin.gif

Just a couple of things -

The MRU list seems to have the bottom cut off it

The "tick" colour is the same as the background colour, eg on the quick list so you can only see the selected option when it's hightlighted

Still cool though, I think its gonna remain on my phone quite a while!!

Cheers,

Joel

Another "feature" - calendar items don't seem to show up when they're not selected (in "view by day" style) cos the writing and background are both white... would be cool if you could fix this mate!!

I have fixed those problems and the made some changes to the main skin. Also I have added ‘All day events’ plug-in. Remember guys I designed it for me especially so some stuff might not be your taste. But I am willing to change the skin to which ever way most people like it. The calendar problem and has fixed too. I will be posting the new version soon. I am just designing the start up screen at the moment. Thanks for your comments. I have some sound file to go with it but I will post them in a zip file so people can download if they want them.

Just a picture to you guys how it looks like now. And yea, soft key level text colour has chaged to a yallowish colour from white. I was in a hurry so couldn't take scrreen shots of every screen to update the image properly.
