New, but hopefully not stupid

[Guest simon211175]

Hi all, I have a question. I've searched but have not found the answers.

I am interested in skinning the C500 smartphone, and have already bought and got to grips with the homescreen designer from Ruttensoft. Looking at some of the excellent skins on this forum though, I see there are more screens that can be changed on the phone - such as the alert, in call screens etc etc. What software are you using to know what screens are skinable, or is it just a case of manually coding the xml files yoursleves then putting the relevant images into the cab file?

Welcome to the forum, I am not new but am stupid - at least when it comes to homescreens. Have you hasd a lookm in the homescreen discussion forum? http://smartphone.modaco.com/viewforum.php?f=9

I believe there are people there who are actually quite good at this sort of thing and I'm sure will be able to help you.

I look forward to seeing your first homescreen posted soon :)

good luck.

You could have a look for SmartTweak, both on and off this forum, as that will package your extra skins into a cab file for easy installation.

For the life of me I can't find it right now, but I believe the authors are SmartGV.

As Confucious says, there is a lot of info on this in the Customisation section.
