GSmart BlueRay again with better landscape screen

I spent some time today to take a crack at setting up the landscape screens....Here is what I have, I am a newbie at SPB theming so its not perfect. Did some editing of Greatball theme (thanks). There are things that don't match the portrait exactly, for example the Speed Dial and MRU don't have the image layer above the icons. I didn't get that to work yet, I will try tomorrow or when I have time. So its not final. I am satisfied with this for now.

The Now screen in landscape shows if you have settings as classic with analog and no appointments.

***Update***

fixed the voicemail icon check updated qa_status in post #610
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jeffrey2000:
Great theme but I would get rid of that heart in the contact icon.

Did you insert this weather icon in all the menu's or just in the lockscreen?

HTC Diamond Theme - Work in Progress

Thanks for the comments and suggestions guys,especially re the launcher menu buttons. I'll try to take a look at them.

Re the "heart" on the contacts tab, I took that from the original Manila,that's supposedly for "Contacts- Favorite". And I kinda like the heart. lol I'll decide whether to keep the heart or not. hehe :p

Re the Weather Tab, yes that's a weather tab alright, and not just a button on the Now Screen as someone asked.

I'm still trying to put more info on that page, e.g. City Name, etc., but still no luck. :(

Nonetheless, clicking on the large weather image brings you to the "more detailed" Weather Page.

Please be patient, I'm trying to finish this soon. Damn, why do we have to go to work! lol :D

P.S. Yes it's rainy out here...

hehe
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] joshkiddy:
i vote keep the heart! nothing wrong with camping it up a bit.

On the main mobile today screen, If i drag down from the start bar, it shows 3 windows for SPB mobile shell. Does anybody know what file or parameter launches this because I want to put a button in Ultimate Launch on my today screen to start it....is it possible?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] formula84:
I would love it if this could be done.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
Hey thanks! I'll see if I can use some of those. :)

GSmart REmixed

Hi guys! I was inspired by greatbal's Gsmart theme, so I make some revisions on that theme mixing it with iphoneII icons... Sorry guys, don't know how to make this in landscape mode. Hope somebody will try to enhance...

I've included a splash screen and .tsk to match the theme. Enjoy!

My modifications of Kulet's Blue Ray set

Hi all

I previously posted modifications on Kulets blue ray theme for V2.0

I recently made adjustments for V2.1 too... this one is Main-Launcher-Contacts (with 3 contact pages)

The Main sceen has the voice mail working but i do not use the connection icons so i did not include it as it messes up & overlaps many network names

The Time screen is modified to include the calender & the alarm icon is moved to allow more space but still clickable to set alarm times

I included signal, time, & battery in all screens - all work in landscape too

hope you like it ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JokeZony0u:
wow..really hope that works out well, btw- how much does it consume on the ram..I'm using Robodad's PointUI w/o the MRU's and it sucks up an extra 5-8% already
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] t-rex_2000:
@greatbal

please provides, nevertheless, for yours theme new thread. then you can write everything in first post and nothing gets lost.

- photos

- history (version)

- installation

- downloads
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
SPB MS2.1 with this theme uses about 5MB of RAM on my system. That is, upon accessing all pages, 9 pages all in all.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
I don't think starting a separate thread specific to my themes is appropriate. I will definitely receive mixed reactions if I do, if you know what I mean. hehe :p

Thanks anyways. :)

It's almost finished, just a couple more bumps along the road. Just keep following this thread. ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JokeZony0u:
ooo, greatbal, my hats down for you, great developer! btw are you going to be making one w/o the MRU and the the two timers (analog and digital) combined?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
I always do what works well for me, and just share it with those interested. For variations and modifications, anybody around here can always do that, as what happened to my original GSmart and Glassy GSmart themes. For sure somebody else will modify this new one. How about you, you could always try to customize the theme based on your needs, right? ;)

That's how I started to learn skinning MS2, there are lots of nice themes out here but I just wanted to customize them based on my needs. :)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] joshkiddy:

missing icon

Hi, i have been watching this thread and blown away by the work thats going on. i have downloaded several themes for 2.1 but notice that the icon for a voicemail is missing from many, eg blue ray gloss, blue wall, iphone with style, pointui and vistapoint. as an example, the flat blue is ok (ive circled the icon in first screenshot). if it is an easy mod i will have a go, or maybe wait for updates by the authors ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
it's an easy mod. you just have to add additional voicemail icon. take a look at qa_status.dat :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] joshkiddy:
any updates greatbal?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] blazingwolf:
luiggi has been working on one but there hasn't been many people wanting him to continue. Look at the Mobile Shell 2.0 thread for the pics. It loos really good so far.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tom108:
Cant Wait for this. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jeffrey2000:
A great and simple theme, no luck on the operator name I see or you still didn't try it? In case u want to know msg me. For some reason the tweak I used doesn't work on the volume (percentage) text, it just keeps below the icon no matter what I do.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pcarvalho:
hi there...haven't tried yet...nor will...at least for the time being more complicated changes await...as i said it should be easy...operator name is info also so for now i keep it :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] justincredible:
love this theme...how would i go about getting it in english though?

thanx!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eazy2001x:
Can anyone lead me in the right direction to get the battery icon to be press-able and bring up the battery/power manager and the signal bar to be pressed and open up the phone management to bring p the com manager or something that can do everything the com manager can do.

I’m using the RoboDad new skin.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jakkrith:
HTC Diamond Theme - greatbal

I have just edit by photoshop and hope greatbal will finish his work as soon as possible.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
For battery/power manager. You have to install spb phone suite.

For comm manager. Click here and this is the closest that one can do.

Until spb mobile v3 which should be out soon, and it will have both battery/power manager AND comm manager built in.

Diamond wallpaper

Hey Greatbal

I really like your "Diamond" background picture, and would like to use it as a backround in my phone. The one I use right now, is not as close to the original as yours. Would you mind sharing it?

Really looking forward to your new theme - it looks fantastic.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PPCBANDIT:
Hi - would you mind sharing your wallpaper? I can see, you use the same as greatbal - and I really like that one.....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jakkrith:
PPCBANDIT

At this time i have no HTC Diamond wallpaper as you need. Please wait until greatbal come in this thread and he will share it for you. :)

Edit: I have found this wallpaper (from google) it look like greatbal's wall paper.

If you like it you can right click and save as....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PPCBANDIT:
Thanks - but that is the wallpaper I use right now (see my attach in prior post). It is ok, but not as good as the one greatbal uses.

I HOPE GREATBAL USES ONLY THE DIGITAL "FLIP" CLOCK

IT LOOKS REALLY NICE!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gman8966:
I second that, I never got to respond last time before he said he wasn't going to work on it. I really like the look of WM7.

And greatbal, I love the new diamond look. I hope that there is the option of keeping both clocks. I am leaning more toward the analog clock with digital still in the top task bar. And I would keep the heart on the person icon, makes it different than others.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
That is just the settings option. Either digital(flip) or analog(circle) clock, will come with both. So you have an option to analog or digital.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] luiggi:
WM7 Yes we are working

Thanks for encouraging to continue, we will all the way.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nvhphong:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] newtonik:
Sorry I only did my changes for QVGA layouts, I don't even have a VGA device to test it on. I have a kaiser. It is my first crack at customizing themes.

I'm digging the theme, but the battery icon isn't showing up on the main screen. Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nightcookie:
Greatbal,

I've recently been through both the 2.0 and the 2.1 skins threads (about 160 pages, lol) and this is probably the greatest skin I've ssen. By all means, keep it up!

+1 for the weather tab.

Also, +1 for the digital flip clock only.

And can I suggest that you don't use tab headings ("Weather", "Launcher", "Contacts" headlines). What the tabs do is pretty obvious to most users, so they just take up screen space. Having said that, I haven't checked against the Diamond original, and there's a point for consistency with the Date header on the clock tab.

As I said: One GREAT skin.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jakkrith:
Dear greatbal

You're the supper hero... I can't sleep until you have finish your GREAT job... Please let us know how many % that you have done.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pcchipvn:
Hi Greatbal,

Thanks for your themes. I think this is one of the most wonderful theme so far. It tidy, nice and small enough.

I have only one comment that whether we can fix using only either Analog or Digital Clock at the main screen instead of gesturing left or right for swap between them. Now when I am in that clock screen, I cannot gesture out to the other screens but need to tap in the bellow icons. Personally, I think the analog clock is nicer.

If you can help to change, then it should be the perfect themes.

Thanks a gain
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nightcookie:
+1

Make the analog clock the default and allow gesture navigation throughout the whole skin, and this will be A-W-E-S-O-M-E!

N.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
You're making me blush...

lol :p

It's almost done. version 1.0 that is. just polishing some graphics. will post it soon. and the modifications afterwards based on comments.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pjc007:
Am I right in guessing you're doing this for QVGA?

If so, please can you make available some of the photoshop files so I can take a shot at converting it for VGA for my Uni -- this is the most stunning MS 2.1 theme I've seen!!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gps-lover:
Hi guys,

the standard view of the shortcuts page is:

* 2 rows of small programs shortcuts (6 items in each);

* 2 rows of big categories shortcuts (3 items in each).

is it possible to change it in the following way:

* 4 rows of small programs shortcuts (6 items in each);

* 1 row of big categories shortcuts (with 3 items in it)?

I tried to play with it a bit, but could not make more than 16 small shortcuts. and here I need 24...
