Default Messed up dialpad

I installed a dialpad skin without removing the previous one (i forgot!)
To make matters worse, I then installed a third one over the top (again forgetting to remove the first two) to fix things

I now have a severely messed up dialpad.

What is the easiest way to remove all the dialpad skinning and get back to default blank settings, without hard reset?

have you tried removing the last skin from the remove prog. and then soft- resetting...
these are spb-dialpad skins that you used

I installed each one in turn again, then correctly un-installed it.
That left me with a blank white dialpad.
I have now installed a working one and its fine! yay.

Back to the original problem before I caused all this.

i have a nice iPhone dialpad, but its not VGA. Does anybody know how to modify the theme to make it VGA compatible?
Im willing to do the work/put in the time but I have no idea where to start.
Are there simply images that must be re-sized? Is there an editable file with x/y values for the buttons etc?

Any ideas?

the iphone dialpad you have is mostlikely for the eten dialer...in which case there is not much you can do...how-ever if you would like to build a dialer just uncompress the spb dialer cab...these are the file with the dimensions that you need to make

Ive not had any luck uncompressing cabs. How do I do that with free software?
A link or two would help But I know, "search the forum for yourself"....

I use IZArc. It's free and can handle most archive formats including cabs. I use it for everything except zip, which is native to Win XP.

Thanks for those, what I actualy need is to know how to edit an existing Non-VGA dialpad to be vga.
Is it just matter of re-sizing the images in the cab? I get the feeling that some hex editing of .dll or .exe files may be needed.
