how to change the font colors of a skin

(IMG:http://img465.imageshack.us/img465/7236/skiexplorer5ax.jpg)


*download ski explorer 2.0 (google)

1. open a .ski

2. on the left side box, browse through every single item. items that begin with the no.4 usually denotes a color.

3. the right side box is a description of the item highlighted on the left side box. there a some blanks because moto has a value for every single item on the phone, and the prog author can only identify so much.

4. once an item (color value) is selected on the left side box, change the color by clicking the box.

5. save .ski (keeping the same filename)

*tips:
-make sure you make a duplicate of the .ski file youre working on, because once youve made changes to the colors within the .ski, it is almost impossible to revert back to the original.

-this process is mostly "trial and error"/"hit and miss". if you are going to dabble in color changing, try to stay in the same brightness ie. when changing a black value, changing to a very dark color as well.

Sorry to here about your difficulties. Try this link for a great many P2K tools downloads. In their downloads section there's a P2K tools category. These might help you uploading themes. Take care whatever you do.

hi i recently did sumthing very stupid with my original motorola e1 rokr
this is how it follows.

using motskin i edited the skin off this site blustrike2

i then applied the skin to the phone and when the skin was applied and i went to the home screen the phone froze.

i turned the phone off then on.. i am recieivng justa blank white lit up screen and i cant do anything just turn the phone off and on...i changed sims and mem cards but still nuthing.....
is there sum way i can delete this skin using my computer....p2k commander or tools dont let mi acess the phone memory...i think cuz of the white screen that keeps appearing

pleaseeeeee help me

[unamariposa]

@tzifos: Try connecting it to P2K but without your SIM card. See if it works. :)

[tzifos]

nope doesnt wok either without sim card...it doesnt go past hello motto screen and my computer didnt detect it. when the sim is in and i plug the fone in threw usb my pc makes the authentication sound like its connected. but then when i use p2k commander or p2k tools and clik connect it just freezes until i disconnect the fone

[tzifos]

i am virtually totally stuffed no program is detecting my phone i guess to to repairs shop for me.

fuk im so pissed wish id never put that stupid skin on the first place......grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[sxechic]

Is there any way to create or import new skins without having to hack it and void the warranty? Like I see there's a WAP setting but I don't know what that is, would it void the warranty using that instead? There's just got to be a way of doing it without messing up the phone.
