themes are not working on my ms 2.1/sgh-i780/square

wow, the Diamond theme and the myUI are really great themes!

But after ive copied the files into the mobile shell (v2.1) folder on my sgh-i780, the spb menu wont start any more. Is that because of the square display or why cant i use any themes for mobile shell 2.1? Need some help...

Is there a square version of the Diamond or the myUI theme?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi Kulet 78,

Good job!

Newbie here. Please advise where do I install the myUI.tsk?

thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] roomer11:
You can copy myUI.tsk into either \Windows\ or \My Documents\, after that go to Settings->Today, you should be able to find myUI listed as 1 of the themes available, just select it and OK. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sg1008:
Thank you very much !!

However, I still is unable to get the installation done correctly.

1. The myUI.tsk did not show up in the Settings->Today ( I did copy it to Windows or My Document ). When I click on myUI.tsk using File Explorer, it will bring me to Settings ->Today but the myUI.tsk is not listed there!?

2. I have installed the two reg files ( Application & Setting ) and have done a soft reset. The "Applications" & "Control Panel" page still show the "Organiser" & "Task Manager" pages. I can't even get to the "Customize Menu settings" in Mobile shell to do the select and deselect as Kulet 78 instructed.

Hope Kulet 78 or someone can help! Thanks!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sg1008:
Sorry, please discard my last post. I have managed to make it work perfectly fine now. Here is what I have done in case others ran into the same problem:

1. For the myUI.tsk. What I have done wrong was that I copied it in the MS21 directory. I should have copied it to My Document.

2. For the missing "Customize Menu Setting", I do the select "Application" & deselect the rest BEFORE I copy all the myUI MS21 files into the Mobile Shell folder. This is because if I copy the files first, I can never find the "Customize Menu Settings".

Hi everyone...

This thread has turned into more of a discussion much like the original 2.0 DEV thread....

So... I've posted a SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 Theme / Skin Library thread

Please please please could you use this current thread to talk about development of 2.1 skins and use the other thread (above) to post your FINISHED threads :)

All in the aim of clutter-control :)

Thanks xx

bonsoir,

je me suis permis de modifier Diamond 3D, car certains choses me déplaisaient ! Même si je trouve ce skin canon !

Mes principales modifications sont donc :

- 4 pages de contacts (4x4) : vip (1), vip (2), Famille, Bureau.

- Recentrage de la barre du haut (plus de superposition avec le nom de l'opérateur)

- Traduction française (sauf météo et détails du contact)

- Boucle rétro-active pour les horloges, programmes, contacts (après la dernière page vous revenez à la première et vise versa)

- Centring of the top bar (no more superposition with operator's name)

- French Traduction (except meteo and details of contacts)

- Retroactive Loop for clocks, programs, contacts (after the last page you return to the first and aims poured)

bmp file format & properties

Hi

i did some tweaking before that involved changing icon positions or replacements also some page order adjustment

but i was trying to replace a background in one of the themes with one that i have

it did not work..

it seems that spb uses .bmp files with special properties...

does anyone know how to create a new .bmp file that works? i mean other properties than being .bmp & with 240x320...must be something else??

Hey,

I want to ask you a question. I want to use the SPB Mobil Shell 2.1 but I have one question. Currently I use the HTC Home with the Cube and the Taskbar of BatteryStatus. Am I able to use my Homeplugin from O2 (Homezone)?

Where can I see the volume, time of speech, SMS? I think I can´t use the statusbar of BS? Can you tell me how to count my data volume, time of speech and my SMS?

Thank you

for Taninpv

Hi Taninpv,

The files you requested are nearly three weeks old, but I think I found the right ones on my hard disc. As you know there are some little thinks to optimize (analog clock some pixel more down, only portrait, ...). They based on greatbals phantastic Gsmart-skin. All credits to him. There is a newer version also available, but you requested the older one.

Here there is.

Have fun!

Would it be possible to import other plugins into the MS or rewrite the code

Great Theme - I love it! Running into some problems with it, though. Seems to occur whenever I open other programs, primarily PocketCM. Once I go back to any part of the theme, the tab icons on the bottom no longer respond until I gesture on the screen. Then, whatever tab icon I last touched "lights up" and the screen changes to the correct view.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] toblo:
Make a backup of you \Program Files\SPB Mobile Shell folder, in case you want to go back to original theme.

All files in Files folder should go to SPB Mobile Shell folder, replacing existing files.

All files in Fonts folder should go to \Windows\Fonts folder.

After all the above done, soft reset to activate the new theme.

greatbal's amazing HTC Diamond theme customization

Hi all,

I currently try to adapt the great HTC Diamond theme to fit to my own needs.

I just want to be able to "scroll" throught the tab with gesture.

So I modify the main.xml file and replace the tab "declaration", as shown below :

"LockScreen_Analog", instead of "home"

"Launcher", instead of "programs"

"Speeddial1", instead of "maincontacts".

I have an issue with the launcher: in fact, the menus isn't display, I just have a screen with the title (see the screenshot).

Someone knows how to fix that?

Thanks in advance.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kobyz:

Hi!I have problem,maybe somebody help me.How to add speaker icon(like first picture,down right)into my SPB Mobile Shell 2.1(second picture)Thank's for reply!Regards
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] paulsg63:
You just need to add the "spb.data.launcher" line in this example to yours. in main.xml

<Plugin Class="Spb.LSP.Tab" Name="Tab2" ID="0">

<String Name="Form" Value="Subform"/>

<String Name="Dialog" Value="Launcher"/>

<Int Name="Image" Value="1"/>

<String Name="Data" Value="Spb.Data.Launcher"/>

That should work.

Request for Yet another Variation

Hi there. I have been searching this forum for a few days now, trying to see if somebody has produced a theme with digital clock, calendar, menu and contacts (preferably on a pitch black background) - but which works with gestures cycling through all the screens and (this is the key piece) has the bottom icons removed as you can get there by gesturing? Somebody did mention something similar back around page 30 or so, but I have not been able to find anything.

I have loaded up Point UI; the Diamond theme and the GSmart glassy Pitch black theme so far. I really like them all but for me, perfection would be achieved if they had no bottom icons AND cycled through all the screens just by gesture.

By the way, thanks for the themes available here. I am amazed and impressed by the work coming out of this forum and my Touch Cruise has been absolutely transformed by Mobile Shell and the themes mentioned above - and the way I can now avoid the Today screen altogether. You guys are talented and creative and I take my hat off to your work.

Thanks for the tips - very helpful! I've got clock moved and other layouts pretty much like I want them now. I'll post pics after a couple tweaks since they're 240x240 and there aren't many in that size.

One weird thing I'm having trouble figuring out. I've moved the bottom bar off the bottom of the screen since it's redundant to gestures and hardware buttons. But the bottom 25 pixels or so (the size of the bottom bar) don't move with gestures which makes the animation messed up just on the bottom.

Any idea what .dat files the size of the gesture area are in? I'm guessing somewhere there's an animation file that is set at 240x215 and all I'll have to do is set it to 240x240.

Thanks again for the help!

According to your setings:

MRUImage=dword(perhaps I didn't quite get this)..But dword=000000BF is not valid, and the Base -(binary, decimal or hexadecimal) <--which one should we check?

Oh, btw. I do not have Games under my Roots directory, and I was trying to add the Games folder.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RoboDad:
I'm not sure I understand your question. The example I posted was taken directly from my phone's registry. The key that you need to change is Image, not MRUImage. As far as adding a ninth menu, the instructions for that have been posted several times in the other Spb skin and icon threads.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RoboDad:
Let me repeat, I am not going to change the theme to address this problem. The icons are where I want them to be. If you are facing this problem, then what you need to do is find a way to modify the carrier name to something less wordy. Otherwise, you are probably going to have the same problem on all of the other pages, with the carrier name spilling over the clock at the top of each page.
