I FRIGGIN love these skins so much better than the M$ default one.
But are the skins that say "Picture Box", the only ones that have a space for pics??
I installed the classic picture box beep blue and it works like a charm, but I'd really love to have that black and gold one with a spot for pictures in it.
Any chance to get the silver one out? Instead of the black and white just reverse the colors, if that can be simply done, I would really appreciate it.
I've been using the Wave III skin (JPLDialer_WaveIII) for a while now and it looks incredible. However, I've noticed that the "Last Call" display does not seem to show any information for the last caller. I am using the latest ROM version on my XV6700 and the JPLDialer_WaveIII was one of the first things I installed after the upgrade, so I know it is not a conflict with any previous skins or dialers.
I looked through this thread but I did not see this error mentioned. Is it just me? Any ideas what the problem might be?
I have emailed pauly about this twice but never got a response. If you put it in landscape you will see last caller but not in portrait mode. All the new cabs at the top of his web page are missing it, but if you load one of the older skins that he has put into a cab they work just fine. I look at the size of the cab new ones 205 older ones 208, so he did accidentally leave something out of the new cabs. My guess is it is the last caller in portrait mode. I hope he sees this because I really would like to use one of his new dialers but not without the last caller ID shown.
I haven't tried that one but if you load say the black and gold one, in portrait it will say last call: But there is not a number there just blank. But if you put it in landscape it says last call: 555-555-5555. Do you understand what we are saying now. hOPE THIS HELPS.
Thanks for the confirmation bootheresa! I also emailed him a while ago but I figured he might have been away because of the holiday. You are right that it works fine in Landscape.
Definitely not a dealbreaker, I can just go to the History if I'm really that curious, but hopefully it's something that can be fixed easily in the skin
With respect to Kokkos and the tremendous amount of work he's done with his skins and themes, I hope anyone interested in skin dialing and having a larger dialer keypad, incoming call skinning, portrait and landscape support, will check out this thread. Works on my xv6700.
All credit goes to Jackroe007 for these pics and instructions. The original post can be found over at Howard Forums, reposted here for convenience, and because i think everyone should check this out. Here is an example of the default skins provided by Pauly:
*****************Brief intro*****************
I've played around with a bunch of different dialers and the E-Ten original is my favorite, with lots of nice polished looking skins to choose from. The only drawback is that the smartdialer (the small drop-down list of phone numbers as you're dialing) is non-existent. Personally, I haven't missed it at all. The combination of having voice command and the much bigger keypad of this dialer far outweighs the negative of no smartdial. Plus, it works beautifully in portrait and landscape. I downloaded the gray skin and it's really sweet looking and a nice compliment to the black today theme+Vista_lite theme for Wisbar Advance, but all the colors are nice and polished and should fit your today theme of choice. The changes to the in call layout are also a huge plus IMO. The keypad also seems more responsive too, as others have confirmed. Anyway, check it out, and while you're results may vary, I've been able to uninstall this dialer and try others without issue. Many kudos to Jakaroe808 over at HoFo and other who worked on this. Check ou this site at www.paulya.com These skins will be updated and added as available.~Chris
************Installation Instructions (reposted from HOFO)************
Here is how you do it..
You will need the Eton Phone Dialer .cab file and install it on your Phone. This install will change the layout of the keys and active touchable areas on the screen. This will also replace your default Microsoft keypad, so be warned. Please read the notice at the bottom of this post.
Download the .cab to your computer and place it on your device with you PC's browser. Once there, use your Pocket PCs File Explorer to navigate to it. Run the cab and install to your Device Memory. The Eten Dialer install comes with a nice blue skin, but if you want to use mine, you'll have to download it here or below.
Once you have zip file of the skins you want on your computer, unzip it and drop all the contents (BMP Image Files) into the "\Windows" folder on your device. It will prompt you with the question: "Would you like to replace the existing file?". Click "yes to all".
Soft reset your device and enjoy.

Please do this at your own risk. I have followed these steps with my xv6700 & 8125 and have had no problems, but I can not guarantee that you wont.
I have a question. I'm still running 2003se on my Samsung I730. Will these dialer skins still work with my OS or will they only work with WM5?
Clarification.
