I thought WM2003 SE had a high colour on screen keyboard...

[Shadamehr]

As per the title...

All screen shots I've ever seen of the SE edition, have a new style on screen keyboard.

But having tried the various SE ROM's out there, all of them had a normal two colour, black and white keyboard.

See attached screen for how I THOUGHT it was meant to look.

Any ideas anyone?

funny enough then this is the first picture i've seen of SE which have such a keyboard

here is a review

most likely this keyboard caused by a 3th party addon software

actually the SE on my vga toshiba e800 had a beautiful colored keyboard

[Shadamehr]

I see - anyone know WHICH piece of software or whatever, gives this better looking keyboard? And can you therefore run it on none SE devices too...?

[steverae]

I've seen Resco Keyboard Pro provides a coloured keyboard, plus Buzz_lightyear skinned the keyboard for his WM2003SE CHS 2.20.07 Translation rom.

have a look at that.

maybe it's special for SE on devices which support VGA ?


there are many different onscreen keyboard replacements out there here are a few

I do not have a Colourful keyboard with my Rom fone was from new (Xda IIs)

Mmmm,

Mixed results and opinions here...

Certainly seems there is no standard....

Thanks for the replies folks.

The nice people that did Wisbar Advance do a free keyboard skin.
It's blue and works well on the older roms, but wouldn't work for me on se.

However - it is free :D

this is my SE keyboard screen

Aren't you the chap who used to do some stunning Nokia wallpapers? The last I heard someone was buggering about with your site - what are you doing now? Something similar for XDA perhaps?

[Shadamehr]

Hi Mate.

Yeah it was me - owner and creater of the then www.nokia-wallpapers.co.uk (DON'T click folks - not there anymore).

I got SICK to death of the big commercial cons nicking my work and then having the audacity to SELL it on their own sites.

One of them swore blind it was the other way round and I had took the images of THIER site.

So I asked them to explain, if they had it first, and I had pinched them, why or how they just happened to have a whole shed load of images of my girlfriend on their site, before I even had them according to them - and sent full size (watermarked) images of her to prove it...

They went very quiet at that point, and removed THOSE images from their sites, but not my others.

So I just got sick of putting lots of effort into what then amounted to making money for other people, for stuff I owned that I wasn't even charging for myself mate.

Cheers - well remembered too!

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? No intention of doing the same sort of thing for XDA then, even charging a little for them? I have to say at this point some of Shadamehr's wallpapers weren't the sort of thing you showed your gran at Crimbo dinner!!

Would someone be able to get this skin for the keyboard, it's much more pleasing on the eye.

tried the one from lakeridge software (the wisbar advance people) it didn't work and don't wanna really install a 3rd party app when the current keyboard could be skinned.
