@leuch7
to change new power on and off screen need to install. Theme Installer will copy yr new on and off GIF into ezxlocal and write dhm file. try TLinux A1200. it has a power on and off screen. if u need then one the easyest way is copy it to replace in TLinux theme.

@densson
I see many of yr theme from ccmove. It's very nice. and about A1200 theme for my Theme and Skin Installer

1. iconres.ezx and skin file *.skn is the same format as A780/E680i u can use iconrestool or IconresPackager to extract and pack it.

2. old .dhm or .phm file was change to .pskn. only name but inside is the same.

3. due to phone 's color scheme setting and installer changed so A1200 skin contain 4 files in 1 folder iconres.ezx, skin file *.skn, logo file (*.png or jpg), and pskn file.

4. A1200 skin should have 4 files in 1 folder and install by open .pskn file with skin installer. no need to create anything just put all file in the same folder when install.

let see detail is sample themes. and I'll waiting for yr themes. coz i'm a graphic beginner.

ps. now I still writing "How to create theme in A1200". but it doesn't finish.

Here are a few themes from the download section that I converted to the a1200. These are straight conversions, I didn't edit any icons or anything(I have no artistic skills) All credit goes to the original creators of these theme's. The Diamond Blue theme is the one from the generic firmware but is missing from the ChinaMobile firmware. The CMRed theme is the Caribbean Red theme from the ChinaMobile firmware but isn't in the generic firmware.

I did change the BlendingPercentage to 60 on most of these because I prefer to see the wallpaper a little more, the stock value is 40 if you prefer that look.

Thanks eakrin, great work.

Well when your installing the skins, you need to tap and hold on them in your filemanager till the menu comes up, choose Open With and click either Skin Installer (.pskn file) or Theme installer (.phm file). After you do this you will need to restart the phone.
