How to change the phone skin manually

You can manually change the phone skin by overwriting the following files located on the \Windows folder of the Pocket PC Phone Edition device:

• clg_dlrbtn.gif
• clg_dlrbtnd.gif
• clg_in.gif
• clg_miss.gif
• clg_out.gif
• dlr.gif
• dlrclr.gif
• dlrclrd.gif
• ending_dlrbtn.gif
• end_dlrbtn.gif
• end_dlrbtnd.gif
• hld_dlrbtn.gif
• hld_dlrbtnd.gif
• snd_dlrbtn.gif
• snd_dlrbtnd.gif
• spd_dlrbtn.gif
• spd_dlrbtnd.gif
• spd_lst.gif

Just download a phone skin and copy the above files to your Pocket PC. Then reboot the Pocket PC to activate the new skin.

One additional piece of information: there is no .gif for a depressed number button. For unknown reasons, this image is stored as an icon resource inside a DLL.

I made DLLs with that icon for the "Candy Red" and the "Wood and Chrome" DesignLabs skins. These DLLs can be downloaded from http://www.tadzio.com/ppc/skins/TapResCandyRed.dll and http://www.tadzio.com/ppc/skins/TapResWoodAndChrome.dll , respectively. If you wan to create your own, take one of the above as a template, then edit it in a resource editor (VC++ works nicely).

To install such a DLL, copy it to the \Windows directory on your PPC, then change the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone\IcoFil to the name of your DLL, and perform a soft reset.

Have fun!

Those DLLs don't seem to be available anymore. Can you post one here?
