Point UI work with SPB Watcher?

Hey RoboDad,

I love your work! Do you know if your theme works with SPB Watcher on 2.1? I lost the switch back ability after I switched to you theme. Have you experienced this problem before?

Thanks,

Brian

I must be an idiot, but for the life of me I cannot figure this out. I'm not a photoshop pro by any means. Where are advanced modes (Image>mode>RGB color??). And when I switch the file to 16bits/channel like I think im supposed to do, I don't have the option to save as a .bmp. Thanks in advance.

Thanks everyone ;)

OK so here it goes:

First of all thanks everyone for all your nice comments. Glad to see that you like it ;)

So far only 1 tab.

Will try to see what I can do.

Well, I'm not sure about this one. I've seen it done once, but I'm not sure if I have the skills and time to do this.

Well, exactly the opposite of me :rolleyes:. Photoshop feels so easy when I try to mess up with xml files. That's why I mainly use other people's layouts (see release notes) with only very light mods...

I can handle xml files but as it's not my primary skills domain it's too much time consuming especially while I'm doing this at work...:eek:

DeeDee I have this problem too.

Soft reset don't seen to solve the problem. Can anybody help?

How does spb shell refer its icon? I check my start menu, the icon is ok and only spb shell is referring to the wrong icon.

The last time I managed to get them right is when I schyronized with my PC and the icon return, this time, it won't work again.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Rumball:
Ok...I figured it out. To resolve the miss-matched icons in my Mobile Shell settings folder I needed to go into the Registry.

Going to "HKLM/Software/Spb Software House 2/Spb Mobile Shell/Menu/Root/Settings/0" I found a key for each item in the Settings>Personal folder. The folders are labelled cplmain_1, cplmain_11, etc... Within each of these keys is an item labelled "Image" with an integer value assigned to it (the icon reference), and a "Text" item which provides the name of the settings item. In order to correct my missmatched icons I needed to go through each of the registry cplmain keys and write down which Image numbers mapped to which items. By then looking at my Setting>Personal folder in Mobile Shell I could visually see which Image # corresponded to which icon and therefore could figure out how to reassign the "Image" keys to point to the correct icons.

For example.

HKLM/Software/Spb Software House 2/Spb Mobile Shell/Menu/Root/Settings/0/cplmain_1 had

Image = 1004

Text = Lock

My "Lock" item had the wrong icon...the lock icon was actually being displayed for the "Owner Information" item. So I found the "Owner Information" information under /cplmain_2 and copied the Image number from there into cplmain_1. This correctly placed the lock icon with the lock setting item. Repeating this for each item in my Settings key resolved my problem.

Hope this is clear and helps anyone that may run into the same problem I did with Mobile Shell 2

ATHENA and VGA Users seeking help

We would like to have VGA MS2 skin release :rolleyes:.

I will suggest to the experts.... please, the easiest way IMO to develop without a VGA device is to install REALVGA on the WM6.1 SDK/emulator

Download it from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=327830 and install 128 and 96 DPI respack and the .11 upgrade into the SDK/emulator.

Voila'.

YOU choose from start menu if you want to test a PLAIN device, a VGA 128 DPI device or a VGA 96 DPI device

All XDA-DEVS VGA community (and ATHENA and UNIVERSAL are the bigger one) will thank you! Be prepared for DIAMOND :)

I am new to this photoshop stuff how do you save an image as an indexed images like status images, etc.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] McTell:
Try: Strg+Alt+Shift+S (there you have some save options optimized for web, not sure if u search for this...)

what u mean by indexed images?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mtstmp:
there is a way to do it through the menus, but I'm away from my computer right now. I'll explain in detail later. for now just open any mask file and edit to your liking then save as whatever name. for example separator_m.bmp

Does it require the SPB Mobile Shell to be installed on my Artemis???

If yes, where do I get it from??? Is it free???

Any help is very much appreciated... And again sorry to be asking such a dumb question... new to the whole Windows mobile thing....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] realpace78:
just unzip the files copy them to the phone and look for the spb shell folder and paste the files into that folder if you dont want to keep them them over right them other wise make a new folder and copy and paste the original folder.. reset the phone and u done :D ,,,,, by the way use your file explorer on your phone

Indexed Files - Photoshop

When finished editing an image, select the "Image" menu along the top bar, then "Mode", then "Indexed Color." Leave the options dialog that pops up all the same, and click "OK." This will change it to an index file. Then when you need to save the file, select "Save As," choose ".bmp" from the "Format" drop-down menu, hit "Save," then make sure the next menu has 8-Bit checked. Note that the index file will only be in black and white, and loses some image quality from RGB Color mode. If you have a color file that you want to get to indexed, I suggest frist changing to greyscale mode, then indexed. You may have to play around a little bit. Hope this helps!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] keithdupont:
Thanks for your help with photoshop. I am working on a new theme. I ran into too many problems with trying to do a storm theme. I do not think it is the best theme for a graphics beginner. As far as the p.s. I don't mind chiming in, I know alot of people here think it is wrong to ask for donation, I disagree, I know how much time it takes to do themes even though I am a beginner. I think if you create a completely new concept it is ok to ask for donation, I would not ask for donation because all I have done up to this point is take the graphics of others and mix and match and change layouts. It will be interesting to see what mobile shell 3.0 brings to the table as far as skinning. I am little worried it will be difficult to skin based on past with spb.

P.S. Did you ever get anywhere skinning the new spb weather? I gave up and went back to previous version. Of course I used some four letter words first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I call it Flat Grey for 2.1.2 Mobile shell

QVGA Portrait only

You have to play with the order of the mru to get them working. Contacts is Mru number 2, Far left above profile icons is mru number 3, far right above status is mru number 4. I reused many elements from this thread, credit goes to greatbal for the base skin gsmart, beyond invisible for the weather icons, Efibaiye's for vga operator icon, cedzden for the launcher icons, I converted and resized the icons to make status and tabs, they came from here at xda, not sure whose made them. The wallpapers came from all over the place google mostly, if you made it thank you and take credit here.

You also need to have games and tasks installed from this thread to get the programs and my menu working, they have to be the last 2 in the launcher order. (9 and 10)

This was my learning project for graphics, hope you enjoy

Thanks TB
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RUNNERX:
Ok I know I'm a NOOB and that I have a really dumb question for a first post, but no mater how I try I can not get a theme to work.

What I have Lg Incite that was just hard reset, spb 2.1.4 with nothing else installed.

When I copy the theme files to \Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell and soft reset, spb menu no longer works. Items added to the today screen work but the menu, contacts, now screen do not show.

I have tried several different themes and the same thing happens.

What the heck am I doing wrong?

Again sorry for the noob post but I was unable to find an answer after hours of searching, not saying that this has not come up before I just could not find it.

Just installed your skin. Pretty cool!! I'm still trying to figure out which is the background file I want since they are all named the same in the zip, but I have a question/comment. I'd like to request a change to the 3 text "buttons" at the bottom. Since there is already a programs button why have a programs text button too? Seems to me they are just a duplication. I'd also like to request that Programs (text) be changed to Agenda which I will use to bring up my calendar. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mo.ammi:
I've searched everywhere but couldn't find what I was looking for.

I'd like to know if it's possible to alter the shortcuts used in SPB MS.

For instance; when I click on the clock, I'd like to launch G-Alarm instead of the standard app.

Or replace the shortcut to the normal calendar with the Pocket Informant one.

Has anyone heared of this possibility?

Let me know,

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] keithdupont:
Here you go, just rename .zip to .dat copy over old layout file. Agenda button now opens mru number 4. 5 if you have backlight enable on mru.

As far as the backgrounds there is a picture inside each folder of what it looks like.

Thanks! Just downloaded, will be installing. "Wet" looks pretty cool, but...

EDIT: It's working great! 2 questions: 1) "My Menu" in the center has no function - why? 2) There seem to be two hidden legacy MRUs in the far left and right between the clock area and the status icons. Was this intentional and I missed it in your posts? Not complaining about them, I'm gonna use them in fact.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] idbl_fanatic:
PLEASE share!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] keithdupont:
The two hidden mru's are intentional, I don't like the way the icons look on the now screen (don't match). As for the My Menu button, it points to the 10th menu item from the launcher. I thought pretty much everybody had games and tasks installed so made sense to have it point to the one you can't see on the launcher. If you don't have ten menu items it will not do anything. I am attaching a cab for the games and task menu items I mentioned. I did not make this cab it came from here at xda, tyler made the cab, I believe, I am not sure who made the reg hack. It will add a menu item for games and one for active tasks which is handy anyway. Let me know if everything works out ok.

How to Install SPB Mobile Shell Themes

Hi guys, I'm trying to figure out how to get themes installed onto my Touch Diamond. I have SPB Mobile Shell installed. I download the ZIP file and extract all the files to \Program Files \Spb Mobile Shell and then do a soft reset.

When it comes back up it is not at all like any of the screen shots. Is there something I am missing?

Let me know if you need anymore information.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] keithdupont:
You need to search for vga themes or 480 X 640 resolution, the reason that it is not changing is the qa_.......... and qp_........... files are not being used by your device. The vga themes will have va_........... files. Most of the themes here are 240 X 320 resolution.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OnceAMatrixMan:
Hmmmm... 10 items in the Launcher. I have only seen 9 items in a 3x3 matrix - like I currently have. In fact all I see in your launcher.xml is m0 through m8. Now it's been a while since I have played with MS files I admit, so I must be missing something
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] keithdupont:
It only shows the first 9 you have checked in the customize menu settings it is there trust me it works, do you want it to point to a different menu item?
