Simple black and blue theme - Rltoday - UL - HTC Dialer - S2U2 - ThumbCal and more

[RDD]

As I said on "your device screens":

Here is my new one, took me days to finish,
skinned almost everything that could get skinned,
going from s2u2 battery to thumbcall to Rltoday to dialer etc.

I'm not good at creating icons so everything is done with text.

The idea for the s2u2 wallpaper (where he has a chain)
and setvolume (also with text) I took from oseven,
but adjusted it to fit my style... Hope he doesn't mind.

For home I use Rltoday as the main skin (bottom)
and UL (top) as the app-, home-, calender-launcher.



Only problems I have is the Comm manager being kinda transparant,
when pushing a button, leavin on and off (inschakelen & uitschakelen) being visible over each other.
And the dialer is visualy kinda slow only on the numbers (but I had this problem with every dialer I tried) backspace and history respond like they should
(Update: This is fixed, this was only a problem on my phone, I adjusted some settings, and now everything 's ok.)

If anyone got any solution for those, will be appreciated.

While everyone is going Diamond or Iphone-style,
I present you my simple "Black and Blue edition"



One minus maybe, everything is portrait, as I never use landscape...
Sorry for that.

Programs needed (you can find all of them on this forum, all credits go to the developers btw, I just skinned the whole thing):

*VJToggleToday (to hide the bottom bar)
*Rltoday
*Ultimate Launch
*Thumbcal
*iContact
*S2U2, S2V, S2P
*SetVolume
*Todayagenda (or any other Calendar plugin)
*SpbCalculator


To install:
Make sure you backup your device first, cause this will overwrite most off the original ones...


S2V,S2U2,S2P:
Copy the files to the gfx folder and overwrite original,
for the clock I used the folder inside gfx named "clockHS"
don't forget to select that one in settings "Clock Font Folder"


Comm, Dialer, HTC Home, SpbCalc, Welcomehead:
Copy all files to the Windows folder and overwrite original

Font:
Copy to folder "Font" in your Windows directory

iContact:
Copy to iContact folder and choose "Simple" skin in settings

rlToday:
Copy to your rlToday folder in a new map named "Simple" (or wathever you like) and select that theme

Pressing the date will open up ThumbCal.
Pressing Calls will open up your dialer, if you want it to open up iContact (wich I changed on my phone today), edit that piece from the xml to this

<Text text="Calls " x="4" y="8" alignment="Left" color="RGB(255,255,255)" >
<Font size="15" font="Vantage BRK" />
<OnClick File="\Program Files\iContact\icontact.exe" />
</Text>
<Registry key="HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\Phone\Missed Call Count" x="51" y="8" color="RGB(255,255,255)" Alignment="Right" Alt="" >
<Font size="15" font="Vantage BRK" />
<OnClick File="\Program Files\iContact\icontact.exe" />
</Registry>


Use the simplewall.jpg as your Today-background


SetVolume:
Copy to Skins/default folder

ThumbCal:
Copy to your ThumbCal folder, select theme "Simple"

UL:
Just choose the icons for the different apps,
and to fit the theme I adjusted the pushed buttons to these colors:
Brightness: 85 83 88 100
Color: 75 93 124 50



I think that's it, if you got any problems just ask, I'll check this out when I got the time.

If anyone could do a cab file for everything, would be cool and make things easier for all.



Enjoy
RDD




Update:

added png file for the new iContact 0.741 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395829)
+ added some more info

Update2:

New Comm manager image, no transparancy problems, works like a charm, doesn't fit the theme as well as the first one, but still cool! Tried a darker one first, so you can read the grey text a little better, but didn't look that good as this one. Let me know what you think...

Update3:

iContact and Comm Manager now in zipfile, cause the forum turned it to JPG

Wow! Bad ass theme RDD =)

How did you make the HTC Touch battery on S2U2? Is it possible to make one using a picture of an HTC Mogul?

[RDD]

Update on the comm manager, check out first post.


And if you can get me a picture of that phone, I'll try it out.
Not that hard really, it just takes some time :-)

I'll have to redo most of the graphics + I don't think Rltoday will look good in landscape + not enough place combined with the HTC Home.

I'll try it out as soon as I get the time

Can you post a screenshot of the problem?

EDIT: Maybe this is the problem, download this zipfile, cause this forum changed the pictures from PNG to JPG
Don't mind the psd file, I forgot to remove it from the map :-)
But you can use it, to change the loading screen...
