Pdidee, congratulations for this amazing skin.

I only have one issue with my Black V3:
There's a small (1px) transparent line below the softkey labels (the metal with holes pattern), that shows the background picture. I tried changing the image files manually and found that they're actually 21 pixels high, not 22 px as motoskin wants. I tried to use the new files but the result wasn't good: right half of the right softkey label is 23 px high, and all the remaining is 22px.

Any chance you could look at this, please? Thanks in Advance

Yeah I noticed that awhile back as I kept tweaking the skin. I just finished a busy string of clients so I should be able to look into that and a proper DRM set of icons as well shortly.

Thanks for the attention! May I give some suggestions:

A nice feature to avoid clunky borders is adding a 1px white border around each icon. I saw that on Royal skin (at motomodders), and was amazed.

If you could look on another set of icons, like iTiger's one, it would look great. I tried porting them but the result was horrible: iTiger icons aren't transparent on blank areas, that gives a nicer transition but looked awful on the menu of other skins!

And to finish, semi-transparent menu backgrounds, that give a nice touch, in my opinion.

yes olympus, icons in my skin are not transparent, because you cant create such a icons with shadows in transparent mode

if you want to add my icons to Mac OSX Tiger skin, just extract it with skinner4moto, open Mac OSX Tiger skin and replace them, after replacing go to Main Menu backround color set and change the color to RGB - 226 225 225, and transparency set to 0, then save this skin and you will have Mac OSX Tiger skin with this icons

Too bad I don't have a Razor, but hey nothing beats the Adriana Lima theme

@sajoman: I'm not sure if that would work with the dock effect I created on the home screen.

@olypus: I've posted the corrected Skin Pack. Changes were as follows:
-fixed the one pixel problem on the widget dock
-changed the messenger icon to iChat icon
-changed the videos Icon to QuickTime icon
-changed the cingular mall Icon to .Mac icon

Now I’ll start working on finishing the DRM icons.

@PDidee:
Thanks a LOT!!!

@Sajoman:
I tried that, but the menu keeps not matching the icons bg color. Will look more carefully tonight! Thanks for the tip!

@Cereal Mouse:
What theme is this??? Got curious!!!

Here is some wallpapers for your skin i made withe your template.psd:

question: i have the new V3r and can't put the files in the right place (can't see the c' volume with P2K commander, i have install the skin but i'm unable to install the cl.gif and the startup & shutdown animation. Could you give some help for this?

[PDidee]

The DRM .shx flash file will contain the Start up & Shut down screen which should make that aprt easier. as for the cl.gif file I'm not sure. Also I get a "Download session not valid" error every time I try to download your wallpapers.

[ultimate540]

will this work for the razr v3m?

Don't know what happens for your download, i just try it and it work, PM your email and i'll send them to you.
EDIT: I'll send them to your email via your website

Where could i get the DRM.shx flash file, just look on my hard drive and don't found it.
I'm not a PC expert since i'm a Mac user, could you confirme than i don't have to put Thumbs.db inside the V3.
note: the only way i found to upload your skin on my V3r is to use "skin manager".

Full Update On First Post!!!!

[Tupring]

Hi everyone, just some info on the Theme…
The optimal size for the Caller ID picture is 280x240. I take credit for finding the correct size (for this theme) through Trial and Error, however credit goes to [IFC]Area51 for discovering what lines actually need to be modified. Have a great day everyone, and keep up the great work, PDidee…

@PDidee:

Does the DRM overwrites the Hellomoto Startup screen?

Thanks for updating!

[PDidee]

@olympus:
Yes. Custom Startup and shut down screens are inbedded into the DRM flash. The first Moto screen is not editable however and from my research can only be changed via a seem edit into a flower or something like that.

Exactly the point, I changed the SEEM sometime ago and now I have a red screen with "Welcome" written in different languages, much nicer than the Hellomoto screen, and its also unbranded (altough I believe its from TIM or Vodafone). I was just afraid of losing it, but it's still there!

[PDidee]

I don't think It effects that screen cause mine still has the moto splash screen, then it goes into my custom startup.

[olympus]

Now I got it!

If I remove the custom wake-up and power down gifs, I get the screens above.

I mixed up everything!

[PDidee]

Yeah if you install the DRM you don't need the Custom wake up or Shut down gifs. I supplied those in case someone wanted the skin but not the DRM but still wanted the start up and shut downs. Question though regarding bootloader. I unlocked my phone a while ago and now when I plug it into RDS lite bootloader shows up as N/A. The phone doesn't seem to get into bootloader mode when I hold down * & # on startup either just has a black screen?
