Default [SKIN] ZZ Cartoon Bubble SMS Skin v0.2 (Compose SMS Screen)

This CAB will install a skin/theme to the WM SMS screen (Compose SMS Screen ONLY!). The bubble will expand as you type, not fixed background.
Note: Tested on WVGA only.

V0.2 - dialog box now with border. So that you can use white background.
* Please uninstall V0.1 first you if you have it before.

Customize:

1) \windows\sms_compose_bubbleu.png - You can change the cartoon to whichever character you like, or it could even be yourself! Best fit with transparent background.

2) Change background color:

2a) Edit \windows\zz_compose_style.css >
body {
margin: 2px;
background-color: #000000; => edit this line to change the background color! You can refer the color code from:
* http://html-color-codes.com/

2b) Replace zz_sms_compose_tl.png, zz_sms_compose_tr.png, zz_sms_compose_bl.png, zz_sms_compose_br.png, zz_sms_compose_dot.png to the background or border color you want, using this tool:

Thanks!
I was inspired by AndyNear threaded SMS skin, and Ahen and Ganondolf SMS background. But unlike SMS background, this is more CSS than fixed background. I did the scripting myself. May be a bit raw but still is my own work.
