Where did you get this black version for MS 2.1? or did you mod it from the 2.0 version?

I can only find the blue version for 2.1 but not black.

Also, I've tried to install some of the theme for MS 2.1, but after putting those .dat files in the MS directory and soft reset, nothing happened and the SPB menu button didn't work so I can't go to MS at all. One thing I've noticed is that most of those .dat files from the theme has different name than the one in my PPC, usually differ by just one letter, do I have to rename them to the same as what on my PPC or do I just copy everything from the zip file and it should work? Help !

Thanks. That worked for the swiping!

I haven't read anywhere in the thread regarding landscape layouts. Is it available with this skin?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] flughirsch:
Hi there,

based on greatbal phantastic skin, I tried to replace the clock (add clock.bmp also in the xml-file and changed background, icon positions,...).

But I recognized some problems with photoshop. I changed a photo of a Breitling watch, but the quality of the picture looses quality.

This happens to wallpapers sometimes too. Playing with brightness and contrast to find something dark blue, but after saving (16 bit, R5G6B5) the quality seems to be less as if there are not enough colours.

A question to the professionals: how do you change bmp-files with photoshop without loosing quality? And if you have another nice picture of a clock face, please show me.

Greetings!

I tried this one, but the white text on the light background made it really hard to see. I find that a dark background with white text seems to be easier to read/see.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OnceAMatrixMan:
Thanks Robodad, but after reinstalling it I have some problems. When I press the clock on the Now screen it becomes highlighted, but nothing else happens. I press again and after a short delay the WM calender starts and I can't get out of it. I have to reboot. It's very strange I know. Since I have not heard anyone else mention anything like this before I'll try reinstalling MS2.1 and then your skin.

do u mind coverting to qvga and compatible with ms2.0??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] theme freak:
can you create also for VGA one? Thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RoboDad:
It sounds like you may be encountering the problem I noted when the extended time page calendar was first requested. There is a problem with Mobile Shell that causes it to freeze if you use that layout with the calendar setting set to anything other than "Auto". I'm not sure why it misbehaves, but I am reasonably confident that it isn't the layout itself, since all it does is define a larger space on the page for the appointments and calendar, and it does work fine with the calendar in "Auto" mode.

Try changing the calendar setting and let me know if that helps. It may also help to set the Alarm to "Show always", since that will decrease the space available for appointments, which I think may be the source of the problem.

Flat Blue

Hello all,

So I'm still liking the grayish HTC-ish look but wanted a little more color, just a little bit. Then I came up with this. Flat Blue.

Features:

- New Menu Icons

- New Profile Icons

- New Operator Icons

- Weather page will display full 128x128 current condition icon.

- And some other minor tweaks I may have forgotten.

This will have the same layout as the Gray theme. As always, Today Tsk and S2U2 are included and it supports landscape mode.

For those who would like to have a different layout or other request (if any), please PM me and I'll try to fulfill your requests as much as I can but please, no promises.

I also would like to thank everyone for their appreciation, comments and opinions on my themes. Its worth all the effort.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] flughirsch:
Very nice!

Am I right that you have "only" 3 tabs? How you switch between first and second picture? And: do you have more than 1 speed dial page?

Greeting
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kulet78:
Yes there's only three tabs:

Launcher (9 menu icons, 5 MRU shortcuts)

Lockscreen

Contact (only 1 page)

You can switch between tabs by gesture or pressing button icons.

Thanks.

thanks jopiej, appreciate it.

I am hoping someone can help me...I want the original weather icon back...I have the Stardock style one & don't know how to go back to the original one without erasing everything and starting over....PLEASE HELP!!!!:(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MikiBest:
It's very simple to install, just extract the files in your Storage Card root (keep the folder names). Download and extract the language patch inside the \Storage Card\SpbMobileShellSkins. Enter in \Storage Card\SpbMobileShellSkins\Scripts and edit the options.ini files with a text editor (like word). Set correctly the two params SpbPath (the Spb MS install folder) and SkinPath (the folder where you have extracted the skins), for example :

SpbPath=\Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell

SkinPath=\Storage Card\SpbMobileShellSkins

Run Mortscript.exe (only one time) and after that, one or more scripts (Kyro* / Luna* ) you would like to install. It's all.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JstarLuvsTina:
ok so i believe i have it for teh most part.

ive done all and am able to switch out the skins and everything else.. thanks for that.. a 6 pack is on its way, but before we do that..the only issue i seem to be having at the moment is the weather being in italian on the main page..but once i click the weather icon itself and it takes me to the weeks weather..its in english? is this a bug..or did i miss something??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dicast:
To set the english language, keep the English Patch for the weather descriptions and remove the file SpbMobileShell.txt inside the \Program Files\Sbp Mobile Shell folder.

Yea, delete that file
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MikiBest:
Get the english patch and extract it overwriting files, for english translations.

Be carefully if you have changed the options.ini, maybe you need to check it again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MikiBest:
For english language Spb MS don't need translations, so SpbMobileShell.txt is not necessary. To avoid problems with the patch i've inserted into the (patch) zip the file SpbMobileShell.txt that translates each item with itself. :D

So if you have this file inside the \Program Files\Sbp Mobile Shell folder phrases are also translated in english.

NOTE: every change to the Spb Mobile Shell folder need the application restart.... for example changing skin

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Madremiha:
Very very very GREAT job Mikibest !!!

Some probleme with the language; i must to put the Fr Spbmobileshell.txt to works good.

I think you can create a new thread for this "APP" !!

Will you add news Themes and icon/clocks? (Like the new Omnia theme by Greatbal who made again an excellent job)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Phonatic:
Which layout are you using. Do you want a section or a whole page deleted?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MikiBest:
The copy of Spbmobileshell.txt into the SPB folder is done by the InstallMenu script, so next time, you can execute again this script after the language patch extraction. :)

Next enhancements will be:

- remove the shadows on the active zones when you tip it

- skins extension with MRU and 3 contact pages

- add tasks to the calendar (now only appointments are showed)

- of course add backgrounds, buttons, clocks and wheater icons.

TY

- skins extension with MRU and 3 contact pages I don't use it so if you can let the choice to have or not; the actual layout is very good for me but if we can have the choice to have; on classic screen; analog and digital clock (because i don't really need of calendar under the clock but i like the digital clocks) it will better

- add tasks to the calendar (now only appointments are showed)Good!

- of course add backgrounds, buttons, clocks and wheater icons.Very good!!

MikiBest,

I love this program. I am having a backlight issue with it, though. Even though all of my backlight settings are set to never turn the backlight off, every time I end a call, the backlight dims and stays dim until I start another call or program. Am I missing a setting somewhere? Does anyone else have this problem?

Thanks!

Hi !

I'm new in Mobile Shell , can I ask a question :

How can I disable MRU/Calendar/3 page Contacts in some skins ?

Which files shouldn't I copy to Mobile Shell folder ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Khrushy:
Unforetunately, MobileShell doesn't really work like that. To change elements of the layout like that you need to edit the layout file, as well as edit the particular files of any pages you want to change as well.

Not copying certain files to the Mobile Shell directory will leave the them with the same tabs and buttons showing, just some of them won't work.

I can't really offer any more advice than that sorry, my xml skills are terrible :P

In most cases, the skin creators release a few different flavours of their skin (MRU/3 or 1 contact page/etc) but not always. Best to ask them, or at least specify which skin you're talking about, and what you are looking to change.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MikiBest:
I don't think this is a problem of Spb MS, try to check your display configuration into the Windows Settings.

Phonatic;

I am, unfortunately, having a lot of trouble with the theme you gave me.

A lot of times it won't come up(even with SPB Watcher the home screen just stays up instead of the shell coming up), and often it becomes almost unresponsive when it does come up(like I can't click on the icons, or the volume, etc).

I have the Kaiser, and have SPB 2.1, not 2.1.2.

Is there anything I can do?

These obviously weren't happening before-hand on other themes, just this one :(

Newbie Question

I've just started playing around with modifying themes for MS 2.1.

I'm getting the gist of most of it, but is there a reference somewhere to things like:

- What properties are available for the different plugin classes? For example, Spb.LSP.Operator has a "ShowConnectionStatus" property - are there more available?

- How are the graphics referenced? The registry keys all reference an image / icon as a number.

Finally, I'm using MS on a non-phone PDA, so I am trying to remove references to phone and SMS services. I'm having trouble finding a way to remove the phone from the connection status area. I'd also like to add wireless signal and bluetooth status to that area instead. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance for any help you all can provide!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mtkates:
I have been working hard to get this kind of imformation from SPB. The last response I have gotten from them is that managers and CEO are discussing it. I have heard no word in several weeks now. I think since there are not a lot of people contacting them about this, they may be just ignoring me and hoping I'll leave them alone and just keep making custom skins and sending them customers without them having to do anything different.

If by some miracle I ever hear back from them and actually pry some info from them, I will share it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] daitienshi:
