Skin More Screens ie Call alert

It is possible to change the look of the phone beyond the standard homescreen by doing a few little reg tweaks,

note: These images MUST be on the phone for the same reason as changing the operator logo as explained above. Also, all images must be the correct size and a .gif file.

The size of the images is always 176 x 180, however, it appears to work for smaller images as they appear to be aligned bottom right on the screen.

The Error, Exclamation. Info and Question dialogs appear to be basically the same, and consist of a title and information. It is best to make sure that the lower part of the display is kept as clear as possible as text may fill the whole of this area depending on the appliction.

Lets edit the registry...
Open up PHM Regedit and change the following values...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Rai

and one of the following:
:Callalert (used for incoming calls)
:ErrorBox (used for error messages)
:ExclamationBox (warning messages)
:InformationBox (information screens)
:QuestionBox (when a question is asked)
:VolDlg (for the volume control)

select 'Values'
select 'BKBitmapFile'
and change the path to that of your image (eg. Storage\volume.gif)

If you want to change skins at any time you may want to reset these values back to the original default screens, these are:
:Callalert windowscall.gif
:ErrorBox windowsyell.gif
:ExclamationBox windowsyell.gif
:InformationBox windowsinfo.gif
:QuestionBox windowsques.gif
:VolDlg windowsvolume.gif

and thats all there is to it, have fun.
