Hi, I think this looks cool, but the blue needs changing a bit I think, as I find it a bit too over powering and it doesn't look right :) , but other than that I think it looks really cool :)

also
I have noticed an intermittent lag difference between the external and internal skins :)

Another version a little more glossy and removed the shift light.

Would any of you guys be able to konck up a skin that has the same colour scheme is this?

It would look great on the x10 mini range as the rest of the phone is blue like the keyboard.

I would like the same layout of the HTC skin but a blue colour scheme.

:D

Hi guys, Thanks a lot for sharing the good work!

I have a strange problem, I did exactly what was mentioned,

I created skins folder in SDcard and copied the skins inside it (just the zip files without extracting them), the skins appeared and I can choose any of them, but all I see then is just black background!

see the attached screenshot, this is the result for any skin I add other than built in skins :(

Note: I use Hero (Floyo 1.01 Rom), which is Froyo :)

Not sure if I understand fully but all files need to be in the same structure as the other ones posted here into a single ZIP file named the same as the name in the xml file. Also make sure the png files have been created with the correct batch9 layers included. I have had issues in the past if there are any artifacts in the batch9 layer. If you want, post your skin here and we can take a look.

Sorry I guess I didn't make my self clear :oops:

I'm not designing a skin, I'm using a ready one!
I downloaded few skins from users posts here in this thread and tried to use them, where I faced the problem I mentioned above.

A black skin means there was an error while reading the skin. Which .zip have you installed? Is it with the latest version of SKP?
