Using the Diamond skin (D) with Mobile Shell 2.1

Caller ID doesn't seem to work very well, When someone calls, I see a green and red icon, yet pressing them does nothing (doesn't answer nor hang up on the person).

Any fix coming, or a way to disable this?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] martinkinghtrider:
hi sir I tried to copy the new black files on the spb files , I really like the simplicity but elegant of the black practical version. my only problem is the battery and the network operator is still not separated..(overlaps) hope you can give me a solution to this burden. Many thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dinoalbert:
nice find.

May I ask if its SPB MS Theme or the normal HTC Home?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JukEboXAuDiO:
From reading hte thread apparently its a manilla theme? Werid. I would like to try it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dinoalbert:
yeah but I wonder if its for the SPB MS...because this thread is all about SPB MS Theme
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JukEboXAuDiO:
anyone know where I can get the link for that theme?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] smittyofdhs:
no it's not MS2.1... it sounds like it's a bunc of differnt apps put together with something like ULaucher.

Also, I dont think SPB MS2.1 can run as a today plugin, it lays over the top of the Today Screeen
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dinoalbert:
I maybe wrong but think theres a solution for that already....I mean make SPB MS as default home screen....search for SPB Watcher
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] smittyofdhs:
true, spbwatcher does make SPB MS2.1 act as you today screen BUT... MS2.1 still 'covers' the entire today page. If you look at the screenshots of this new beta diamond skin you will see it is actually running inside the today screen, it's a plugin. It even mentions that within the thread. It's basically a plugin that calls mortscripts and other apps to control things such as volume, and BT or WIFI status.

SPBwatcher is a stand-alone plugin that just waits for a programming call for the Today Screen and it shows the Now page from MS2.1.

I know SPBwatcher very well, I use it myself to replace the today screen with MS2.1. I also have my 'windows' hardware button set to open the My Menu of MS2.1, which basically mimics the the old start menu. I don't use the default today screen/start menu too much anymore. I hardly have to use the stylus anymore too.... this is a great skin that greatbal made!

sry for this noob question. does the flip clock in the diamond theme really do the flipping or the time just changes while the background just remain there
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jeffrey2000:
Yours is great! but... your nr 8 is 1 pixel line too low but alltogether still great!!

Does anyone know if it's possible to put the status icons (qa_status) below each other instead of next to each other? (and same for just the below menu buttons?).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jeffrey2000:
Unfortunately SPB Mobile Shell (v2.1 and lower) doesn't support animations in the graphics, so no animated gifs/png/flash or whatever :( I hope a future version will.

Otherwise someone could make the animated weather icons and the flip clock like on the real HTC Diamond theme (but I don't like it too much that on the origal HTC Diamond that it always starts straight away at 00:00 and from there scrolls (flips) to the right time, it just should start in the right time straight away but in the other hand at least you can see the flip animation from the start :))
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jeffrey2000:
I had the same question, this one is close but I don't think it's the same as the original theme background.

I'm still looking for this (original) wallpaper:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] slikkie:
No it is not UL. It is today single plugin called :XIAMultiTheme

And it is not MS, but i read a few pages back this was now the Diamond Skin thread ??

If it is not, maybe someone could start a Diamond Skinning Thread where all possibilities to skin your phone Diamond are.

Anyway, i think all the Diamond Skinners will love this.

It comes closer to the real thing and is highly customizable.

It is only one today plugin and uses some other small applications, like phonesuite eo, for phonecontrol, triggered by Mortscript.

You can find it here:

White Digital Clock Fixed

Ooops. Thanks for pointing that out.

Anyways, I've updated and fixed the White Digital Clock.

1) Fixed number 8 which is 1 pixel off.

2) Made the numbers opaque as evident from the screenshot with a colored background. (The original one is transparent which shows the colored background.)

3) Fixed the bottom part of the white background mask to be more rounded. (I hope no one noticed the imperfection on the original one. hehe)

Any ideas?

No prob. I have nothing better to do. Decided to stay home on a Friday the 13th night. hehe :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
Ok. Will give it a shot. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gammarho55:
no, this is not the "diamond skin thread"... while greatbal's theme is truly great, it is not the definition of this thread. can we please remain on point and keep this thread as clutter free as possible? if people want to see different diamond/ manila themes, they'll do a search for them.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pmorganii:
greatbal, et al.

Is there anyway to add one more tab to the quick tab list? Thinking of your C and H layout combined to provide 6 tabs, mru and calendar. i really like using the soft keys to quickley navigate through each function. since i am not a very good develper yet, simply asking if this is even possible in MS 2.1. thanks for you quidence in advance.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gammarho55:
very cool wallpaper... i think that alot of color has been the biggest thing missing from the diamond theme so far. the black and white backgrounds are cool and everything, but it needs something to spice it up from time to time.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dayze0:
as mentioned above by vish 4488 Can any 1 work on a theme like this below - LIKE THE CHANGING LIGHT EFFECT VISH

(possibly using robodada point ui as a base ELEMENT ???) ,

Could an animated background be incorperated ?? , so the movement could be seen through the time numbers (hollow area) , doesnt essentially have to be shell 2.1

SUPPOSE i just favour different colours

any 1 up to this

Just for the record this is not the "HCT Diamond" but the "O2 XDA Diamond" :D but clean anywayz, I like it way better then the T-Mobile pink version!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
I tried your provided background image. The white texts are really hard to read on the device. Really strain the eyes. :(

The attached file is not finished yet. I stumbled upon a problem in using colored background images. A result of a "cheat" I had to do during the early part of the theme's development which I forgot to fix. :(

Weather only showing 3 days

Greatbal or anyone else. I am using the diamond 2.1 theme with the color icons and the transparent backgrounds to allow for the SPB color to show through. I noticed this week that on my extended weather page it only shows 3 days all evenly spaced. Shows today, sat and sun. Any idea on how this happened and how i can fix?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] toniolol:
Hi,

hope you read and do what I wrote in red...

You just have to replace the file "SpbMobileShell.txt" located in the Program File\SPB Mobile Shell directory by your original in EN.

All translation is in it....almost...I've worked from a EN skin to make it French...so "Météo" for the weather is hard coded, weather descriptions too and "En cours" for the task manager is wrote in the registry...

If you want I could try to make this theme in EN....maybe sunday...look at my weather :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
I don't think it's with the theme. Maybe the weather update service is down. I tried updating the weather, no luck.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] toniolol:
I see the same things today...only 3 days on my PDA an same on two emulators with differents skins....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dorittos:
Damm, I read it but I didnt care, lol.

Since I can read french is not a big deal for me, but if someone have, please post the "SpbMobileShell.txt" file in english so I can change.

Thanks

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jkrj524:
Hello greatbal. First of all, thank you for this beautiful theme. I truly love it! However, I too have been having problems on the weather update. The 3 day set up doesn't really bother me. Its the fact that I cannot seem to update my weather. Whenever I tap the sync icon for an update, it goes directly back to the main weather screen. Initially, I thought it was just my device or my settings. However, I tried it on another touch phone which I have but I am still not able to update.

Is this still happening to your device? Any news?

Thank you very much again.

P.S. Maraming Salamat! :)

Same issue here... 11 hours without an update. My guess would be the server since the only change I made was the white clock.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] willybilly:
I wonder whether the server is down and not available to retrieve the weather information. I used other theme and have problem to update the weather information too.

Can anyone care to update all of us and share out whether they have similar problem retrieving weather information using other themes too?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jkrj524:
Initially, I thought it was my settings or my phone. However, after reading the past few posts, and seeing that many others are unable to do a weather update, it made me realize that its probably the server indeed.

Great suggestion though to ask others (with a different theme) about their weather update. Hope they can let us know if it has affected them too.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
Yes it's also the same with my device. But, as I mentioned earlier, I don't think it's the Diamond Theme. I tried other themes and the MS2.1 original one, the weather still doesn't want to update. So, i guess the weather update service of SPB MS must be down. Anybody?

P.S. Walang anuman po! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jkrj524:
Alright, great to know. I was truly hoping that it wasn't your theme as I really love it!

I guess we should just wait for someone to give us an update... Or we can keep each other posted by trying to update every now and then.

P.S. Kindly check your PM. :) Salamat!

I have just do this my manual

1. Add 9th menu button name it to "Wireless"

2. Add new links to this menu (Use Spb Mobile Shell --> Customize Menu)

2.1 Wireless Manager Link to \Windows\WirelessMgr.exe

2.2 Bluetooth On/Off Link to \Windows\CicleBT.exe

2.3 Bluetooth Manager Link to \Windows\BTConnManagerCE.exe

2.4 Wifi Manager Link to \Windows\AlpsWLANp.exe

2.5 Internet Sharing Link to \Windows\IntShr.exe

You can also change Link text name by Registry Editor goto

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Spb Software House\Shared\Spb Menu\Customize\Wireless

in User xxx key --> Text --> Type your Link name as you want.

You will get this page after clicking "Wireless Menu Button" in Program Tab.

Sorry that I'm not good in English. Hope you can do this. :D

awesome

Greatbal,

The design of your skin is fantastic : well design, looking professional.

The only change I would see is some adjustments regarding the date.

I think it could look better if you display the date in only one line, and center the date just under the clock.

best rgds

Your english is more than good enough (probably better than mine).

I will try it!

A question:

I change the background and the status icons of gsmart-skin (I want bigger ones). In qa_status.xml I also changed the size of the icons. So far so good.

But where I have to change the distance between the status icons, because the bigger ones are overlapping now (see picture below)??

I hope someone can tell me.

Edit: I installed MS2.1 but miss the connection indicators in this skin.

Edit2: I managed it on myself (see picture 2). Just editing the 3 lockscreen-files in qa_layouts.
