Where is it? I'm not talking about the spb mobile skin only the htc home plug in skin in that picture.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Alkhal:
The HTC home plugin icons are probably included with the rest of the skin. (Not sure never downloaded it?) And the rest is probably done with the Home customizer?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marsel:

And paste this Key into "HKLM\Sotware\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Menu\Root\". (Image1)

Weather Icons

This is for the Today tab / plug in. There are 2 sets of icons (large /small), in this case only the large ones are modified, I didn´t change the small ones which represent night, morning, etc status. The new icons came from the HTC Home plug in.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
nice layout! can i request you to extend the layout to landscape mode please? :)

Noob question, how do i create a link to the special folders (4th screen) to launch FileManager or Resco Explorer with a specific path, e.g. Music Folder?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MobilePhoneUser:
What item did you delete and replace?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Hugo381:
Exactly what I was going to ask for, the Original HTC Touch Icons. Maybe the contacts Icon making it like the contacts from HTC silhouette and maybe a clock that has an HTC'ish look to it? :)

Thanks for the weather icons.

One more thing though, is there a possibility to make those weather icons bigger? they are pretty small and display on the tab pretty small too.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pcarvalho:
i'm working on new indicators (layout and gfx)... just a quick question... has anyone tryed and had success in increasing the width of the operator gfx? i have done this on the battery gfx... but operator doesn't work... i still haven't figured out why :confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] luiggi:
Working on this

You´re right, they are too small and I´ll try to fix it soon not without affecting th appeareance a little since the problem is that our MS2 icons have a square pattern and HTC Home ones are rectangular.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deme3erw:
Is there any home today skin similar to your spb shell background?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Hugo381:
Yeah thats one thing I figured, the icons are a little stretched out sideways so that makes the icons look smaller and not display at fill scale. Maybe just modifying them with PhotoShop to be a little more square even if it disfigures the icons a little. As long as the look bigger I dont think it would matter that they are not at their standard dimensions.

Thank brother for you committment to this thread.

They all work for me, I just added links under the main menu as he suggested, the sixth one takes me to the sixth shortcut. Fantastic skin, I'm drooling......

I made links to folders in resco file explorer by the way by, in resco file explorer, tapping and holding the folder I want a link to and choosing 'send to start menu as shortcut' I then select that link in spb menu and it works beautifully.

Favorite Folders page

Hi,

The Favorites folders page use menu 10 to 16.

So, verify if you have 16 menu in spb menu. (if u use 9 menu in the menu page normally it's OK)

If it's not the case, just create a 9th menu, you are not obliged to see it.

Hi all,

Conducted quite a few searches and had no luck. What I was wondering was if anyone had worked out how to change the functionality of the buttons across the bottom of SPB? Say for instance, instead of going to the speed dial menu, open up say... PocketCM ?

Do-able?

Cheers,

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] luiggi:
Here´s a new one

I haven´t work any further on the HTC Home ones (but I will), in the mean time I put together this other set, according to the source of the icons this are used in "netJS"

Edit: 1.-) Here´s the revised HTC Home weather icons, this time they came a fairly bigger than in the first try.

2.-) For those who want to try another options, I found this

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Hugo381:
WOW Luigi, great ICONS. Love them.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pokey:
This is just what I was looking for. Only issue I have is with the digital clock font - the character spacing is too close, so a leading '1' tends to merge with the 2nd digit (you can see it in the screen shot, its hard to distinguish the '1' in '13'). I've reverted the *_dclock_modern.dat files back to the original, so that gives me the original font on the 'Now' screen, but I don't know how to get it back on the pop-up screen that you get when tapping on the clock - how can I revert that one?

When is v2b likely to be available?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pcarvalho:
here is my clock with the correct spacing...just replace in device...

v2b will be available when it is completed, it is still in early stage cause i havn't had time to dedicate myself to it, but its being done ;)

Replace Contacts with 3rd party Contacts!!

Thanks to our Russian friend romanmaks at 4pda Russian forum! with a simple registry tweak you can now replace spb contacts with any 3rd party contacts in my case I replaced it with PocketCM here's what you do:

go to :- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Spb Software House 2 \ Spb Mobile Shell \ Menu \ Root \ Organizer \ Contacts

and add a NEW string value and name it "File" and put your chosen contacts program path in "String" in my case it was \Program Files\PocketCM\PocketCM.exe

then delete the following string values:

Text

Type

and finally do soft reset or power off then reboot for the registry to take effect and viola:)

***NOTE***

A word to the wise, there is a small glitch with this registry tweak by removing default SPB Contacts you cannot add contacts in speed dial page :( the way around this for the moment is to add all your favorite contacts in the speed dial before doing this registry tweak!!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] luiggi:
I´m not sure what you want to do, I guess you are intending to get a 9 small icon menu launch, if this is the case I can think in 2 ways without messing with layouts.xml, in fact I made a changed to my icons this way, see the illustrations.

What I did was to to overlay my original icons in a 70x70 button, in my case I used a colored button, but you may want to use a transparent one. Other way is to resize your icons to your desire at the time you place them in the canvas, I gues this 2nd way would be more sensitive to alignment and uneven size of the icons but it´s up to you.

Hello,

THANKS to all for all these awsome mods and themes...

I tried my hand at a sperator2.bmp file to replace in one of these posted.

I went through all of the steps in the guides. But when I try the seperator2.bmp file attached... I just get no background.

I know my .rar packaging is good... because I can put the original Seperator2 file back in... it works again.

So I am trying to see if someone can eyeball this file and see what I am doing wrong...

I´m not sure if your 72 resolution is somehow affecting (I don´t think so...), all the files I´ve seen so far are 96, so why don´t you try the attached file made by one of the experienced guys in the forum. If it does work, then the problem is in your xml file.

Thanks Luiggi!!!!

Well... I just used the separator2.bmp from your .zip and it worked...

So.. it's how I am creating my separator2.bmp file.

Is there another program I should be using?

I also have a MAC at my disposal... if something on hat would also work better.

Please advise.

OK.. I tried the Photoshop 7.0 and actually selected the 96 pixels per inch.

One thing I noticed was on the ones that are working there is a another "Channel" other than the red, blue, green, etc.

I copied that to mine... but it still didn't work.

I checked all of the settings... they seemed identical..

Not sure whats going on...

This second method need more time, but it's better when you press a link (animation)

Copy files in your device, launch Menu10_15.reg (let's me a comment if OK) in order to create menus 10 to 15.

After for each new menu, change the "File" registry value to launch you shortcut. (You can change "Text" and "Type" registry value)

yees,can you post your new clock? pleaseee
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] luiggi:
Still work in process

Here you are. Just a few comments:

1.- The clock face is actually achieved by using a clock picture as a wallpaper (aka "separator") for the classic now screen. So qp_bkg_now.dat and qa_layouts.dat files were modified.

Please note that the LockScreen.xml file was changed, if you have other wallpapers make the necessary changes in your own file.

Note that I select "No appointments", if you do so, the layout wil change but the wallpaper will stay in the same place, so you´ll get an awful offset between hands and clock face.

Land scape mode is not modified yet, so if you tr it you´ll see the clock hands only

2.- The original clock mask file was substituted by a black color bmp.

3.- The clock hands are moded and don´t reflect the exact shape of the genuine Bell & Ross ones (still working on it)

4.- The coordinates for the "AM PM" were changed and this is shown now by the day of the week

5.- The secondary page of the classic now screen (digital clock) it´s dissabled, so nothing will happen if you press on the analog clock.

6.- Files modified are attached, just replace the original ones.

BTW, there´s plenty of good resolution pictures in the Bell & Ross web page that you may want to try for your own projects

Anyone want to post a tutorial for creating the images used in the separator2.bmp file for the backgrounds?

I have looked for a definitive way to create the Separator2.bmp file since I have tried my hand at it using Photoshop 7 and can't get it to work.

If I repackage a Separator2.bmp file back in that was created by you'all on these sites... it displays fine.

But when I package mine in... no go. just blank background.

I have looked out on this site... but only have some bits and pieces of how to create this... like I know it should be 240x320 96pix/in, etc. I kind of understand the mask file. But, still have had no luck in creating and using my own backgrounds.

Hope someone can help.
