Guest ripkord Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Hi there, is it possible to change the keypad background? I have the horrible pink and grey t-mobile numbers :/ MDA compact BTW ;) Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DancingMatt Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Agreed - and also interested in changing it for the MDA Vario/Wizard/etc! I found a link to a site that has two options for WM5, but they look like the laser etched Motorola ones and so aren't lovely, and are not very practical. Surely there would be loads of phone pad skins "out there" if more people knew how... unfortunately I can't help but it is obviously possible. Anyone?

DM <{POST_SNAPBACK}> where did you find those dm? can you give a link? I may be interested in those motorolas (you mean razr style right). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DancingMatt Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Ah, was trying to remember where I'd seen them, here you go, Phone pad skins for WM5: http://www.buzzdev.net/index.php?option=co...nc=select&id=18 The site also has some today themes and skins for the little popup keyboard! The phonepad skins are indeed the RAZR and might be a head start for anyone who wants to develop their own? I don't think these are very practical though, doesn't look like the smart dialling window will pop down? Very much hoping this will lead to more options to replace the pink and grey T-mobile special... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DancingMatt Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Did you try them Bennish? My Vario is apparently being dispatched today - hooray - am hoping someone might crack and post a guide on how to make phone pad skins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil Lee Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Looking at another forum for the development of XDA utilities, it appears that the button graphics are controlled by registry entries. If you go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skins you will find sub keys for DIALER and PROGRESS. Under DIALER there are keys for landscape and portrait and in each of these there are keys for each button. The buttons are: dialbutton erasebutton plainbutton talkendbutton VerbButton Each of these contain the following: String: bmpDisabled DWORD: bmpFlags String: bmpNormal String: bmpPressed DWORD: bmpTransparency Each string is a path to a bmp file. I assume you could create a new folder with a series of buttons in it and update the paths to point to these bitmaps. There are two additonal keys: other which contains a string value bmpNormal text which contains two DWORD values, textColor and textDisabledColor Under PROGRESS there is also landscape and portrait. These contain the following keys: other talkendbutton text VerbButton other and text are the same as before. talkendbutton contains: String: bmpDisabledend String: bmpDisabledTalk DWORD: bmpFlagsEnd DWORD: bmpFlagsTalk String: bmpNormalend String: bmpNormalTalk String: bmpPressedend String: bmpPressedTalk DWORD: bmpTransparencyend DWORD: bmpTransparencyTalk verbutton contains: String: bmpDisabled DWORD: bmpFlags String: bmpNormal String: bmpPressed DWORD: bmpTransparency Hopefully that should help someone produce a skin for the dialer. I'm going to have a go creating simple rectangles to replace the T-Mobile ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DancingMatt Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 This sounds really promising - surely it's got to be it - will look forward to hearing your results Phil! Take a look at the link I posted earlier too, that must surely help you as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bennish Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 hey Yeah I did try it, it's awesome. Once installing something like that u can just replace the images. There's many online that are a cab install and once on, just replace the .bmp files. The razr one is nice but a little dull. I may create one of my own... with backlit buttons. one advantage it has is that it's *only* a background, so very lightweight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jfran Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Hi Gang Just noticed something with the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin Dword- Enabled Value - 0 (default HTC skin - cool blue) if you change the value to 1 it then displays the horrible T-mobile / Network Provider's offering. Hope that helps Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
