[1.10 update][Andynear style]DIY your own SMS chat UI

First of all, I am chinese guy, I am not good at english, so please don't blame me the solecism and such thing like that...lol... but you are welcome to help me about my english...
And also that's why my photo example use chinese... But that shouldn't the problem.

I always don't like the default SMS chat mode, but this mode more useful for most of us to chat, and somehow, I just found this way to make my SMS chat mode became more beautiful, just amend the file "iframe_style.css". I thought this is a better way to make the interface of SMS chat mode more popular.
And now here we are, The andynear simple UI for the SMS chat mode.
And I will keep working on this, to build more beautiful UI...

[Type]
system file changes
[Warning]
change your system files maybe will bring some problem, so be safe &backup your old system files.
[System]
wm6.5 wm6.1
[Screen]
QVGA WQVGA VGA(maybe not very perfection) or others
[How to use]
just download the ZIP files and extract the file into you "/windows" and replace the old files. And turn off the tmail.exe in the task manager, and reopen the SMS manager. And it should be working.

Simple 0.1
My first try, simple but quickly to use, just some easy accessorize of the background in the chat interface.

Next mode, and I thought this one is my favor.
I hide the state Icon and also the contact name and the time, but use the different background color for the out and in SMS, make it looks more simple.

But if you thought this kind of hiding is useless, and your want the contact name back, try to use this file replace the old one.

Hi, I am using the 0.6v and its very nice on my Omnia 2, but the Sender and main message body seems to have a gap in between. If it is a long message the gap between the sender and message is increased. Also is 1.10v uploaded or 0.6 the latest version?

Thanks

Sorry...because I only have one wing on hand, so can't tack care all the system,

But the too much long message, you only need to lengthen the "smsbg_in" and the other pic files.
