[Mr_Sparkle]

Just been playing around this evening... Thought I would share what I've been up to. Would love to hear everyone's thoughts? I've attached a few pics showing the dialer as it is and a couple shots showing the light-up buttons.

I was getting a little tired of always looking at the stock dialer keypad so I went a little retro. It all works great but I still need to work out a couple of things. The biggest thing left to do is figure out how to switch the phone number font to a black or dark gray instead of white. Anyone know how to do this? I can't find it anywhere...

The other mods to the dialer that I've seen on here have been modifying the "BarDialer_Sel.png" file but that just drops the graphics ontop of everything that is already there. To really modify the thing thoroughly is a bit more involved but I think worth it.

Thanks,
Mr_Sparkle

Also, I have uploaded the stock graphics to the Stock Files section of the downloads section. I couldn't find the original .artwork file anywhere else on the site so I thought I would throw it up just in case you need it all. get the files here once the file is approved:

LONG ABSENT UPDATE 03.01.2008
I've just added a new version (2.5) to the downloads section. This version should work fine with 1.1.2, 1.1.3, and 1.1.4... (I'm currently running 1.1.4 and have had no problems with it. Sorry I've been AWOL for so long but this fix should take care of any issues. NOTE: It will not work correctly on software versions prior to 1.1.2.

Give the mods a chance to approve the download but get it here once they do. Enjoy! ...Mr_Sparkle

Damn, that is too freaking rad!

Anychance you could make the button pressed image (the blue square i think?) make it look like the button is actually depressed?

No idea about changing the font color... there might be some way to mask it with a 50% transparent black image(like make one of the buttons have extra stuff... its kinda hard to explain, and i dont know if it's doable with the dialer)

I thought about that but thats going to take a little more time than I had tonight. I may well come back to it because thats what I originally wanted to do.

I thought about adding a transparent section to one of the other graphics but thats just going to darken the whole thing. I may just have to go with a darker background on the "screen" area and live with the white. Ideally I would like to have a different font that looks more like a typewriter style font and have it black so it looks like one of the old paper inserts with a hand typed number on it.

Wait until I get the files tweaked. Once I upload it and you get all the files loaded in the right places you'll be able to have the different light-up buttons on button push instead of just an overlay graphic. This isn't just a replacement for the bardialer file... There are replacement files for something like 9 or 10 files to get the full functionality out of it.

The Dialer Screen is pretty complicated in how its laid out with transparent layers all over the place and different elements stacked on top of each other. I need to redo a couple of the pieces but I'll have it up this afternoon.
