I do two things:
use VJ PhoneToggle: that allows me to copy over all the bmp's and enable the new skin w/out a Restart (!). Just run it, copy the files over and run your phone again: new skin.
Second, I normally put the zip on my SD card, run the built in zip program. Select all files and extract to \windows, overwriting "all".
Takes...25 seconds total and no restart.
I love you for this... Makes my life so much easier. Just swiched from Vista to BlackGlass to Classic in no time. Thanks... I might want to quote your solution on the site..
For the background picture, I was thinking something dark colored (Dark blue, black, something like that) with a brightly colored centerpiece such as a Fast and Furious style car or something like that. You have great taste, so whatever you come up with will I'm sure be phenomenal!

Yes this solution is great! I wish I knew of it sooner.

lol, feel free to quote away!
Eek, I just realized you had to sit through lots of painfully slow resets to test all of these skins!

Glad this helps
Thanks malatesta! I've had the util on my PPC for a while and didn't think to try to do that. That's going to make life much easier.

Oh yeah... In the Dialer image, 6 is being pressed and in the call staus image, speaker phone is on...
One more thing.. As you may have already guessed, this skin will be named Vista..
Jakaroe808... Dude you beat me to it, I was trying to figure out how I was go to do this... Really nice job!!!
I know the brown is really kinda drab, but it matched my today screen. I'm kinda bummed now, cuz Im finding out its pretty hard to change the wm5 taskbar and nav bar to match brown. Oh well..... changing the colors of the dialer is actually easier, so that's probably my next move. Thanx for your input. Any other feedback would be greatly appreciated.

does anyone like these? I know theyre not as good as some of the others, but I thought I'd get some opinions. first try.....
No, don't think that... I think it's pretty good it just needs some work. I like the plastic/stone feel with the shading/glare look. I'm not a big fan of the elliptical button shape either. Perhaps if they were more retangluar with rounded corners?
I really like the grouping of the three top buttons, definitely keep that feature.
Keep going... You'll get there. Most of all, have fun... If you like it, that's what really counts and I'm sure others will like it too.

Yeah maybe blend black and red together so both colors are intermixed and then just square off the buttons a bit and you are in business.
Everything else is cool.

With everything today being tied into coffee/Starbuck's, I think the brown may actually work for that. Maybe if you sqared off the buttons and gave it a coffee related name it would catch on!
Hey guys. Ok I did this one for me...what do you think?
I'm no Pauly or Kokkos or some other guys but I like things a bit brighter so here's my first try.

Wow! Thanks for all the responses! OK, the overall consensus is to lose the oval shape number buttons. Here is the landscape dialer.....When I edit the oval button shape, should they be more like the buttons along the right side?
Where can I get transparent dialfaces so that I can edit my kids pics in my keypad?
I know enough to make me dangerous but I would like to play with some personal keypad skins.
Thanks for the help and keep up the good work!

The buttons along the right side look great. Oval definitely should go, but if you replaced it with ones shaped like the others on the right, I think you'd be good to go.

I would definitely agree on that one! Then make another one to go with it that is Black(in case you haven't noticed I love black). To me black just looks sharp and sleek.
Toss some red into the mix and your skin will be HOT!
