htctoucher PocketCM Contacts Black and Blue Point UI Theme, v.20b

[htctoucher]

I have recently been using Pointui (the newest version.. you can get it here: http://pointui.com/) and thought it would be nice to have my contact app match my home screen and everything else of Pointui.

So.. here it is!


Update:

.....For different bubble types, go to post #8! (here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2006125#post2006125post#8))


.....Landscape phonepad issue fixed.

.....There are now TWO versions.. Black and Blue
There is no screenshot for the blue version (had no time), but it is all the same as the black theme except for the color changes to match the blue of Pointui.

__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ________________________________

Important to know in order to use this theme:

........new layout of settings panel means that you must hold down the upper left hand settings cog to get to the settings panel. It will load slowly the first time you do it, however after that it is instant.

........press the upper left hand settings cog to get the phonepad.

........press the upper right hand arrow to get to the filterlist (main contact, contact with sms, contact by business, favorite contacts, etc). This is only in the Favorites view, the All Contacts view, and the Contacts with SMS view. The arrow is Cancel and Back button in all other pages.

........the lower bar is the button that takes you between Contacts with SMS and All Contacts. If you find it too difficult to press it (I have an HTC Touch so it is very easy), you can always just press the upper right hand arrow to navigate to whichever page you want instantly.

........a finger swipe left or right horizontally will bring you to the favorites page

........there is a yellow speak box that appears in the bottom right hand corner that will alert you of how many new texts you have. It will go away after a while and will reappear each time you switch between pages.

........I recommend that you turn on "Show Favorite Icon" in the options of PocketCM Contacts
........Separators and Contact list pictures are disabled even if you try to turn them on

I think that's it!

LANDSCAPE IS FULLY SUPPORTED!
The screenshots are below in a .zip file, if you would rather see them in your webpage.. go HERE (http://pocketcm.com/phorum/read.php?8,9686)

Download the htctoucher PointUI.zip or htctoucher Pointui Blue.zip, sync with your device and drag the .zip into your PocketCM Contacts folder in Program Files.. then select it in options.

Enjoy!

I had forgotten to post up my keyboard skins.. they match pretty well.. attached screenshot and .zips
.....In order of left to right the screenshots are: htctoucher Pointui darkbg and htctoucher Pointui Touchpal (this keyboard skin has the animation of touchpal when pressed)
There is no screenshot of htctoucher Pointui Lightbg to make room for the Blue version of my theme. The only difference is a lighter background (like the touchpal one).

[MonteCristoffOn]

Very nice and clean work, htctoucher !
Super matching with .Home.

I think it will be added very soon on the PointUI forum... :D

Thanks.

PS :
- How about a blue version of your skin, htctoucher ?
- and if you want to try others .UI skins for PocketCM Keyboard, you will find them in this post (http://forums.pointui.com/viewtopic.php?p=7611#p7611).

[htctoucher]

I have created different variants for both the Blue and Black versions of this theme.. attached is a screenshot

The bubbles were taken from my other theme (16 variant theme.. link below in my signature)

Enjoy!

thanks,
htctoucher

the theme variant in the first post is Gradient No Arrows, featured in the screenshots in the first post, but not in this one.

This sucks, I love the theme & would like to get it but my bubble look terrible, not quite a bubble, it is deformed in a way, it does't look like the pics posted, it has sort of a barthat attaches to it, has anyone else encountered this as well???

Could you possibly do this for me.. as I remember you had this problem on my other theme as well:

1. Download MagicSS here (http://www.freewareppc.com/download/graphics/magicss.shtml)

2. Sync your device to your computer and run the .exe file which will install MagicSS on your device.

3. Go into settings on your device, then buttons, and set one of your hard buttons to MagicSS in the drop down menu

4. Open up PocketCM Contacts and while in the SMS Bubble view, press the hard button you mapped MagicSS to and then save the screencapture somewhere (preferably to your storage card so you can drag it back onto your desktop through snyc)

5. Attach the file either to a PM or post it here so I can look at it and know exactly what you are talking about.

Also.. check that you are using PCMContacts v.20b and a QVGA screen

Other than that, I really do not know how to help you.. thats so weird that the only problem you are having is the bubbles..

see if you can do the above steps and I will see if I can help you, although I am not sure if I will be able to since it seems it is specific to your device.

having an Samsung SGH-i780 phone and thus a 320x320 screen means that your beautifull theme is not working as it should. So what about an update for these square screens?

[LycanNyc]

Anyone knows how do I install Pocket Calendar ?

[lip]

Hi,

Works great...except:

1. What is the easiest way to access contacts? I have a touch and the only way I found is to go to the phone and select contacts.
2. What is the easiest way to get out of contacts?

Thanks.

1. I put a shortcut in my cube so it is really easy to get to. If you are willing to do this I can tell you how, you will basically have to edit one of the shortcuts already in your cube to PocketCM. You can also put it in your start menu.

2. Tap on the upper right hand corner of the screen when in PocketCM, it will minimize (not close) the program.

[LycanNyc]

I thought the UI program can be run by itself without PocketCM

It can, this theme combined with PocketCM just makes it so your SMS chat and contacts looks as if it is part of Pointui

I wouldnt be able to test it so I wouldnt really know how I would create this for a square screen

Maybe someone else out there has one and knows how to use the settings.ini file, and then would just have to resize some of the images?

Hi, actually I was wondering if this problem has been solved by now. I think I'm experiencing the same problem. For some reason I can't seem to find any "settings" or "configuration" options. So I would like to copy my PointUI-ish v2.0 (Black) folder to my pocketcm folder, but then in pocketcm I don't have any "options" to chose the theme.

Please help me! Thanks! :)

After you place the .zip file in your PocketCM Contacts folder, open up Pocketcm contacts.

Hold down the settings cog in the upper left hand corner and dont let go. 4 buttons will pop up, go to options, then press the button "select theme"


hope that helps!
htctoucher

[Plantje]

Yeah, this does help. Fortunately I found the options menu myself. But then (due to internet connection problems, I lost this thread and thought my post didn't make it.

However: to get to the options I have to press and hold the "Phone" button.

And to me it was a little bit unclear what a "settings cog" is. :)

But in the end it works and I can only say: it's great!

oh woops!

I for some reason thought you already had selected the pointui theme, which has a "settings cog" in the upper left hand corner

glad it worked out

I love this theme. Is perfect with PointUi

but... Can you add contact photos in the next release? It is very useful

Many thanks!

Looking forward to next release. Don't use Point UI or even know what it is, but love this layout and design. Contacts are nice and big for my large fingers and easily legible. Looks great and makes PCM worth it. Otherwise, I'm not a fan. Can't wait for this theme to have photos on the contacts page. Thanks again!
