Cheers!

Only works with a hex editor (notepad won't work) 😊

Try this one for free if you don't have one folks 😊

Hi Evobit,

Glad you liked the skin. Like everyone here I'm just having fun playing with this bit of fantastic software.
More will come as I make them.

Lets all keep them coming and have a skin for all moods.

I did try, but I could only type numbers and not letters... and when I exit the 'editor' it doesn't save the file?
Actually I think I remember saying the editor is read only while in beta or something? Which would explain it..

Ive changed the text but it hasnt took effect on the phone. Still says launcher :-?

sorry guys, but i've been away for over a week now and so much has happened. where do i get this Launcher app and is it the same one j2k was working on??? :-?

They're not the same app, only vaguly similar. j2k gave us all a scare earlier in the week by saying his app was 'under review'?! But, it's back under production right j2k? 😊
You can get the trial sLauncher app from www.symbianware.com
Nice app, if you know what you're doing with it, its a bit complicated for me 😞

OPPSSS.. Change must made not on phone but on Pc.
sent launcher.ini to your PC and "hexedit" on PC. make your change and resent to 7650.
With epocware File Manager is more simple.

Hi,

Icon Changer was "under review" as I decided to incorporate sLauncher like features into it 😉

Ok guys some quick creations from me. Made only with some Windows 2k screenshots and paint nothing more nothing less. Expect to see more to come from me next week when I'll have access to my computer and also to adobe photoshop. I'll also have access to linux and i'll may make a skin based on kde, But I am also thinking of creating a Matrix skin, just luck of imagination for the icons but it will come soon or later...

[quote="GhostDog"]Ok,this is geting really stupid.
Guys,if you dont want your icons the be used,dont publish them until your skin is finished.
90% of the icons here are taken from somewhere else(Except J2K's),the XP skin i was making(and stop making it because other people here are doing the same and they are doing it better then me 😃 ) had icons taken from Dazlers website,nokia.warlocks.be and the idea was from SymbianWare.
So lets not make a big fuss out of it.[/quote]
You thief you 😮 😉 Actually I got most of them from the web 2.
AS in everything published on the web is free to take, only the persons who bought a real license.
So actually all graphics are free.
I got my icons from wincustomize.com but mostly from KDE skinning sites because their icons are in PNG format.

Find a lot of icons at http://nokia.warlocks.be
They are already in epoc file format and can be easily used without to much hassle and great quality.

I cant set transparent colour for ICON 😞(((
i open in Photoshop, edit and save as GIF and set transparent colour.
in www have this .gif transparent colour but in the phone not 😞
in skin editor i set icon for assign icon and assign pallete.

what i have to do pls?

[quote="esekenny"]this is my new skin, i live in spain, if i write worse sorry. hehe 😃[/quote]

that's F_ING AMAZING

well here's mine...

hybrid of some previous xp skin including start up image, operator logo, wallpaper

plus 90kb of skin

Cant see any of your pics , is it just me or is somthing wrong .

PS is there a plase that has a good desciption of how to make skins ....

Well,you can browse the forum or this thread,also,there are some on symbianware's website: www.symbianware.com

[quote="NightSpider"]errr hi everyone....

this might sound stupid but how do i add the skin to the launcher? 😮[/quote]

Well, first of all you've got to install Skin Editor, which is for free.....

Then send your skins to your phone using a IR or BT.

Start Skin Editor - Options - Misc - Check inbox.... and save your skins.

Go to Launcher, press the option button - settings - skin (here you should find your new skins).....

One thing I truly don't understand ... why you would want your phone to look like it runs windowsXP?? When I have a choice my pc runs anything BUT! I'm very happy my phone doesn't run windows... if I wanted a phone to run windows I'd go for an spv.

Not trying to offend as the skins are very well done and look nice... but nah.. don't want people to think it's running windows.
