hey guys it's per annum innum from pocket now calm the HTC Desire HD will have skins so that you can finally change the look of the sense user interface for Andrea in case you want it to be a little bit different and unique this video we're going to talk about all of the different skins that you'll be able to choose from when the HTC Desire HD comes out let's get to ok so again we're running the HTC desire rom on the HTC hd2 here i'll put a link up on the video to our previous walkthrough of the desire HD rom which also includes a link on how to get it going on your HTC hd2 so this first skin here is called metal because it looked kind of like silvery brushed metal so if you look around the clock we can kind of see the brush metal-look the top bar is silvery if we pull down the notification area we get sort of a metal like look at the bottom the little launcher down here is curved and it kind of has a shine like metal if we swipe to certain widgets will get that metal look continue we go into something like the clock here these buttons down here are now rectangular whereas in the default HTC sense they're kind of bubble ish shaped so let's dive into another skin so I'm going to go to the personalized button and choose skin and this is the picker for the different skins really cool here's another one called slate we showed this in the previous video so we'll really quickly review what it looks like and these skins take about 10 to 15 seconds to launch obviously on the desire HD that will probably be less because everything is optimized this is obviously running on an hd2 which is not intended to run android so here we are have the slate interface so you get a rectangular launcher down here a lot of people will like this because some people think that the curved sense launcher is really a waste of space because it doesn't line up nicely with the icons we've got kind of a slight like look to the clock here we put on the shade we get a different style to the bottom if we swipe to the left to go to a widget we get you know the slight like look and if we tap on the clock and we bounce back into this sense interface we still have the rectangular slider there so let's change it again to the other skins available this one's pretty cool it's a little bit a little bit tacky but some people may enjoy it because it's very different it's the wood theme and it looks like wood quite simply so here it's loading so this is very much like the slate theme in terms of what it puts here on the bottom it's just a rectangular launcher it's not the curved one if we pull down the notification area the bottom of the tray is a piece of wood or it looks like wood the background of the clock is wooden if we swipe to the left the french stream here has wood as its borders if we tap on the clock again we see wood so an interesting way to spruce up sense UI again it's a little bit tacky but it's very very different let's jump back into the skin chooser here this one is very very interesting I think a lot of teenagers would like this it's called blackboard it's very almost gothic and actually kind of surprising that HTC has this because it's not very elegant as you're going to see in the same so it looks kind of cartoony they change the system font so look at the clock it looks like it has a white chalk border if we pull down the notification tray we get sort of an industrial looking bottom area here and up here it looks like white chalk has been drawn on the outline where it says the carrier flick it back up we swipe to the left the friend stream really hasn't changed that much it doesn't have any blackboard like border and if we tap on the clock we are taken into the sense interface and we do have chalk outlines here below on all of the buttons okay let's finish up looking at these different skins here and by the way the idea is that you'll be able to get even more skins down here with the get more button and you'll go to HTC Sense calm right now if you do that it doesn't work so it's trying to load skins from HTC hub and it doesn't work and finally we have the default HTC Sense skin that everyone's used to it's been on the desire the droid incredible and a lot of other phones that are out there we get the animated wallpaper the curved program launcher here and pretty much what you would expect from HTC Sense so that was a look at all the skins that will come on the HTC Desire HD it's really nice than she's finally letting us change the look of the sense interface even though it's not dramatic it's a nice touch to be able to change things and we're looking forward to be able to go to the HTC hub to get more skins beyond what's pre-loaded on the device please give this video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it and thanks for watching again I'll put a link up on the video right now to get back to the previous video where we did a more comprehensive walkthrough of the new desire HD rom that's it for now
