No problem ;)

Re: Phone Suites

I should probably make it clear now (so I don't get peoples hopes up) that this fix will ultimately mean that wherever the 32 x 32 pixels profile icons should appear, they will now appear as 16 x 16 pixels (e.g. on today plugin and the profile selection screen). Unfortunately this is the only way that I can think of to get round it. It's not ideal, I know, sorry.

Many thanks to all who are creating these excellant themes.

Is there a mobile shell theme changer out there for all the excellant and different themes listed here? I.e can anyone design a theme changer (not the colour theme changer built into mobile shell), so you could swap from say the greatbal HTC Diamond SPB MS2.1 Theme v1.1

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2239209&postcount=1245

to say Galaxy by Dredd67

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=389106&page=163,

or say any of the ones listed at

http://www.actualitemobile.com/forum/index.php/topic,1654.0.html

I guess if not then maybe a small cab installing program to replace all the files needed when swiching themes?, I hope I am not asking you all to much as you all have spent a great deal of time and effort already in designing these excellant themes.

I am currently using the Modified Diamond Theme v1.1 (page 149, from 420Mac), plus the alternative weather icons, plus the colour scheme, and finally your alternative colored menu buttons from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2239209&postcount=1245 phew..

Many thanks again to a great developement site XDA-Developers, and great cooks...

HaHaHa - lol - thx Robo - great , looks awsome - Must say, IMO- your skins are Top Class - and hard to better !!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RoboDad:
Hmmm...

I just put together a test version of this layout, and I think I've uncovered a bug in MS2.1. If I set the calendar to "Auto", it works fine. I get three appointments, and five weeks of calendar. But, if I set it to "Three Weeks", I can't even display the page. I did some rough math, and I believe that the program must be trying to display five appointments, but it apparently doesn't have enough slots allocated in memory to hold that many, so MS2.1 locked up. I've been experimenting with other layouts, and I find the same problem happens if I set the calendar to "None" on any of the "extended" calendar layouts.

So what does this mean? Since you are limited to choosing "Three weeks" or "Auto" for maximizing the calendar display (there is no specific "Four weeks" setting, and setting that value manually in the registry still only shows three weeks), you would only be able to use the extended time page calendar in "Auto" mode, which would give three appointments and five weeks of calendar. Any other setting will crash MS2.1.

If that still sounds worthwhile, let me know and I'll finish making the additional layout sets.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] y1mrn:
Wow! You really do work quick. I'm impressed. Shame about the bug, but auto 'extended' calendar is good enough for my purposes. I'd really appreciate it if you could finish the layout as best as you can.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JSnively:

RoboDad can you remove the MRU tab on this theme?

I am already using the modded PointUI skin...

RAM use

I love the new themes. Thanks to everyone for their hard work.

However, with the limited memory on Titan I am extra careful about installing something that's too memory consuming.

Can someone provide the usage for the various themes posted here or can we start including that with the original posts.

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RoboDad:
It's possible, but that isn't what I wanted to achieve with this theme. I'm thinking of doing something like that for my next new theme (after Blue). But for this one, I'm not going to change the layout of the Now tab or the Calendar tab any more than I already have.

Of course, there are plenty of other capable theme creators who might want to tackle that. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JokeZony0u:
Simply Theme Request for Robodad (or anyone who can) :)

I'm not sure if its simple or not, but its definitely beyond me..what I really need in Spb is its calendar function and I really liked how Robodad put the calendar on a second tab..

All I ask is the calendar tab, and home screen of Robodad's PointUI theme, and maybe with a blue bg? I dont need the 9 icons nor do I need the 3 page speed contact..I dont even need the X button..can anyone tackle this for me?

Much appreciation if you can!

VistaMobileShell v0.2.1c

RED is updated

Since everyone is posting in this 2.1 page, i'll post my most recent work aswell since it's 2.1 compatible since a long time and I saw my linked work here already.

- SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 compatible!

- Vista Home Premium frame

- Vista Home Premium startbar

- Vista Menu Icons (launcher itself still needs a makeover)

- Includes newer vista connection icon.

- Speeddial Pictures fit within in the Aero frame.

- Newer MRU button background.

- Newer Weather icons.

- Moved the "time" in laucher/mru/speeddial to simply have more space for the connection icons in case of a longer operator name. (the program "Personalizer" to change the operator name doesn't seem to work always).

- Brightened the start button compared to the older version..

- Fixed the overlapping (icon) problem for the aero frame.

- Fixed the overlapping weather problem.

- Fixed the overlapping contact problem.

todo list: Vista Launcher Icons (2nd screen).

todo list: Vista Message Icons

Credits for the MRU screen are not for me, it goes to RoboDad.

(MRU background button is mine though! ;)

"Quote"

Note: I have grouped tabs into 3 different MAIN (bottom icons) sections:

Programs Section

Launcher

MRU

Clock Section

Now

Calender

Contacts Section

3 pages of contact pages

Gesture is limited to pages within each MAIN section since I grouped everything using xml code (used subforms within subforms). To go to a MAIN section, simply tap the related bottom icon. Each page within MAIN section will have an indicator at the bottom showing which page is currently displayed. Lastly, which ever page you're in before going to a different MAIN section, going back to previous MAIN section will show last page selected. For example, you're in Programs > MRU, then you tapped on Clock, when you tap on Programs again, it will display MRU screen not Launcher screen which is the first page.

I have integrated it successfully (allbeit with a few compromises) and all I need now is the icon set! I have icons for normal, silent and vibrate (straight from Greatbal's existing theme). I have tried to create some of my own... but I'm crap at it!

[*]Silent
[*]Loud
[*]Meeting
[*]Headset

Help no longer required

Hi everyone,

I managed to produce what I was asking for myself. It wasn't quite as hard as I had expected once I had got used to using photoshop. The fact that it's a simplistic icon set probably helped. Here are the results: -

View attachment 89668

The profiles from left to right are: -

[LIST]
[*]Normal
[*]Silent
[*]Loud
[*]Meeting
[*]Headset
[*]Car
[*]Cradle
[*]Time-based
[*]Custom
[/LIST]

Good news is that I have completed the integration of SPB Phone Suite into Greatbal's Diamond theme (for layout H, the one that I am using). I will endeavour to complete the integration for the other layouts asap, and I will upload them when they are complete.

'Bad' news is that (as stated before) there a few compromises/bugs that unfortunately are necessary in order to integrate. An example is that 16x16 pixel icons will show instead of 32x32 pixel icons in Phone Suite (see screenshots 2 & 3). Having said that I am delighted with the results and I hope you will be too!
