I've been getting more and more annoyed with the standard speed dial in wm5. You have to press on the the relatively small number to dial the contact, cause if you tap the name you go to the edit part. Besides that it just looks really dull and doesnt match any theme.
Does anyone know of an alternative app for this? Preferably something you can get or make skins for...
(I have searched google and this site for hours btw)
thanks,
Robert

not quite sure what you are refering to, do you mean you would like bigger numbers on the dial pad? if so do a search for the eten dialer.
Maybe you would prefer a photo dialer? there are plenty around.
Alternatively try searching for MS voice command it is so easy to use and that is the only way i 'dial' numbers.

No i mean the actual speed dial part. It kind of looks like this:
1. Voicemail
1233
2. John Smith
1234567890
etc.
What i find annoying is that you have to press on the speeddial number (so like 2. for john smith), instead of the name. If you tap the name it brings up the edit screen. Besides that it looks very dull (grey and white).
I see what you mean about a photo dialer, but i dont want to use up precious space on the today screen.
Therefore i was hoping there might be some other app around, preferably one you can customize with skins or something. I haven't been able to find anything so I guess there isn't?
Maybe i should try asking in the Development and Hacking forum? Maybe someone there can put something together? I cant imagine it would be too complicated? Or am i asking(expecting) too much?

You like these?
This speed dial is the one I got in my E-ten, doesn't look great, though works beatifully!
I love to use this one in the car.
Couldn't find it in the extended dir but I could extract it and make you a cab if you like it.
