I've been wanting to get rid of the highlights such as those in your screenshots, but no luck. :(

There were some limitations with MS2 that I had to work around like placing the text within the image of the status icons. I just had to "cheat" a little to get as close to what I saw in the screenshots of the HTC Diamond online. Hence those "wrongly-sized", "odd"-looking highlights on the status icons. :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
I've been trying to dig through the whole thread and look for whoever posted those weather icons! I got lost in the clutter somehow. hehe

Thanks azzmbm for the weather icons! I've credited you for those.http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2244622&postcount=1425

And yes, during the first release, I don't have the weather descriptions yet. It was a plan I didn't have time to discover yet how. But I just had to release it nonetheless to get feedbacks.

Again thanks! :)

Thanks for getting back to me - shame you've had no luck.

British English Weather Descriptions (Text centred)

Hi everyone,

Just a small contribution that fellow (British) users may appreciate. I'm sure to most people this sounds really picky, however the 'Heavy Cloudy' description was bugging me no end; and the weather being as it is here, I was having to see it quite often! Then once I had started I decided to alter a few of the other descriptions aswell.

I used the BBC Weather symbols to guide my descriptions http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/bbcweather/features/symbols.shtml. I'm not sure what weather 'Smoke' is in the original, but I took it to mean 'Fog'. I have also taken the opportunity to centre the text as I found that a few were too far to the right. The specific changes I have made are as follows: -

[LIST][*]Weather Unknown - unchanged
[*]Very Hot - unchanged (fat chance of this description being used much in the UK)
[*][B]Sunny (Clear Sky) -> Sunny[/B]
[*][B]Partly Cloudy -> Sunny Intervals[/B] (we Brits like to claim every bit of sunshine we can)
[*]Cloudy - unchanged
[*][B]Heavy Cloudy -> Heavy Clouds[/B] (who'd ever think one letter could bug me so much)
[*][B]Smoke -> Fog[/B] (if anyone has any better idea of what this is, let me know)
[*]Light Rain - unchanged
[*]Heavy Rain - unchanged
[*][B]Rain with Snow -> Sleet[/B]
[*]Light Snow - unchanged
[*]Heavy Snow - unchanged
[*]Hail - unchanged
[*][B]Thunderstorm -> Thunderstorms[/B] (we tend to have more than one at a time)
[*][B]Short-term Rain -> Rain Shower[/B]
[*][B]Short-term Thunderstorm -> Thundery Shower[/B]
[*][B]Short-term Snow -> Snow Shower[/B][/LIST]

[LIST]
[*][B]Centred text[/B]
[/LIST]

EDIT:

For an updated version, in which I have changed the 'Heavy Clouds' description again, this time to 'Overcast' please see this post

To install: -

Download attached qa_weather_description.zip below

Rename to qa_weather_description.dat

Copy and overwrite existing file in the Spb Mobile Shell installation folder

Soft Reset

I have also attached 'before' and 'after' pictures below. Unfortunately I could only demonstrate the 'Heavy Clouds' as trying to guess where in the world there could be thundery showers or sleet was becoming tedious! If you have any feedback, problems or find any bugs, please feel free to let me know.

For centred original weather descriptions please see this post
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
somebody posted Italian description. Maybe you could use those. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2245497&postcount=1448

And yes, if you read the how-to thread carefully, you have to re-zip the files with the corresponding password. Try it. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
Thanks for the descrption. I'm sure other users feel the same way as you. :)

But I used the original weather description from SPB site: http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/weather/icons32_1.html?en

Many pages back, when I was still contemplating on adding weather descriptions after the initial release, I posted a query asking for the best weather description (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2226619&postcount=940. I got very few replies/reactions (for which I was almost ready to scrap the idea, especially after I got a reaction that the icons are worth more than a 1000 words, hehe). So, I used the old reliable google and found the description (where else?) at the SPB site. hehe

I'm just surprised now that users are clamoring for translations. and I almost thought that the weather description was a silly idea. hehe

Again thanks! :)

BTW, the "Heavy Cloudy" isn't mine (as with all the other descriptions). They're all SPB's. But I would have to agree with your changes. ;)

Centred Original Weather Descriptions

I have realigned the original descriptions to the centre in the attached qa_weather_description.zip file for anyone that wants it.

EDIT:

For an alternative 'British' English set of weather descriptions please see:-

My original post (e.g. Heavy Cloudy -> Heavy Clouds) or

My latest post (e.g. Heavy Cloudy -> Overcast)

@ Greatbal

Yes I do remember you asking for ideas and I am glad you didn't scrap the descriptions as I think they add to the theme.

Were you aware of the misalignment of the text in some of the descriptions(slightly to the right)? I don't know if you want/are able to replace it into you original theme download files.

Hi There

I have noticed this too. But only with the new weather icons that was provided by someone else......

On the original weather files provided with the original theme, the selection box is nicely rounded....

KANGMAS, can you share the S2U2 clock font? THX
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] danielebron:
Well, I response myself

There is not solution.

Dial shortcut goes to 3rd tab of every theme so the only solution is to change the tabs positions

thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ong9:
The new one 's very clean , I love it

Yes, please share this to me, I have only 2 question.

1. what 's "gerimis" ? If this 's your language , I may need to change.

2. Can I delete your name from the theme ? how? (sorry, even I love your theme but this's too big owner signatures for me.)

Regards

Is it released or not yet?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MaxFree:
Anyone know if layout F ll come with the new weather icons or not?

Thanks in advance!

Modified Diamond Theme v1.1

Layout A

Portrait + Landscape

All the credit is Greatbal's for his amazing Theme!

I've just modified the main weather and lock weather to increase the size of the weather icons,

also the top and bottom bar to my own liking. Glossy as usual ;)

I've also modified my original Gloss Clock to a White Clock.

Greatbal After hours of trying to get this to work and countless soft resets, i thought about using a layer as a background under the digits,

although it's fairly Crude, it works. :rolleyes:

Thanks again to Greatbal for his creative work!

Thanks to Agamemmnon for his little tweak!

Also thanks to y1mrn for his descriptions!

I've also included the .tsk in the download.

Translate Weather Descriptions

Folks,

as translated weather descriptions are in popular demand (yeah, me too), I thought I might write up a short dedicated tutorial just to do that. All credit goes to Greatbal who explained this to me in the first place, and to Dredd67 and contributors for the beginners' HowTo.

There is no language.txt or anything where you can easily type in your localisation. You need to edit a graphics file in qa_weather_description.dat.

0) Read the links above to be sure I didn't miss out anything.

1) Find the qa_weather_description.dat in the Mobile Shell files and save it on your computer.

1a) If you like, make a backup copy of it.

2) Get WinZip. Open qa_weather_description.dat with WinZip.

3) Extract the file weather_m.bmp (a bitmap graphics file) with WinZip and save somewhere. The password is b0fm18zq .

4) Open weather_m.bmp in a graphics editor and edit to your liking. You can simply overwrite the weather descriptions with Paint, but I'm sure there are more sophisticated ways of doing it.

5) Using WinZip, add the weather_m.bmp you just modified back into the qa_weather_description.dat archive (select "Add"). Use the same password to encrypt the whole archive.

6) Copy the modified qa_weather_description.dat back into your \Programs\Spb Mobile Shell folder on your device (replace old file there).

7) Soft reset.

This should do it. I just learned that myself last night, so if any more senior contributors have a better idea, please don't hesitate to say so.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] azzambm:
you r more than welcome...

48 icon!!! why u need that?? can u be more specific...

Gloss Clock + Page Button

For those people that prefer my Gloss Clock To the White Clock.

And also for those people that requested for the page button to be replaced in the Modified Theme.

Just unzip the files copy the contents and overwrite the files.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] webpatrick:
PSD file PLEASE !!!

I know this is asked before, but I've seen no responses yet.

Is there someone who has a layered image (photoshop) of the weather_m.bmp (weather descriptions) file with text layers. So we can easily change the language????
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ricciolo91:
THX LEGEDUG I'm going to test it ;-)

EDIT : the attached file is not a .zip but a .rar one ;-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dianeofarcadia:
once again, thank you for the image.

by the way, would I be pushing my luck to ask for the clock font? I have a close duplication but would prefer the one use. :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] slikkie:
The code i use requires/offers the possibility of 48 icons. For more accurte discriptions i guess.

Sorry for the slight delay in releasing layouts D-G. I just got hold of SPB Phone Suites today. Will test and modify those layouts to make sure they work ok, and post the download soon.

Hi,

I've made some links files with icons to could launch PhoneWeaver profiles and option in SMS2.1.

You have to copy the dll in the windows directory and the links in a StartMenu directory.

I use icons from PhoneWeaver for the ON/OFF/TOGGLE and others from this forum for my profile.

If you're interesting, you could download it here.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] azzambm:
Here are few more icons...

So now u can merge different icons to make whatever u like...

Hope this will help u...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BenRivera:
I created the shortcuts and then added the links to the menu under tools in SPBMS. After adding it to menu, you can edit it an change the icon. I am still using the standard SPBMS layout. I will be using the new Diamond shortly.

Thanks, I will give it a try.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] y1mrn:

I've not created PUSH profile, cause I don't use it.

The number for the icon in my DLL are :

PUSH_OFF : 10

PUSH_ON : 11

PUSH_TOGGLE : 12

I've found how to know which profile is Running but don't know how to write it somewhere in MS2.1...maybe with a MortScript which create a file or something visible on the skin.

Is it possible to show icons on the Home tab in reading a registry value ?

Reg is [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\PhoneWeaver] and key is "RunningProfile".

Heavy Clouds -> Overcast (British English Weather Descriptions Update)

Very funny!

However, on a serious note, it got me thinking... would anyone actually describe the weather as 'heavy clouds'?

So having changed 'Heavy Cloudy' to 'Heavy Clouds', I decided to change it once more! But what to? I first thought of 'Cloud Cover' but I wasn't completely happy. Then, whilst watching cricket, it came to me... 'Overcast'. I think it describes the picture, and hopefully the weather perfectly.

[LIST]
[*][B]Heavy Clouds -> Overcast[/B][/LIST]

[*]All other descriptions as in first British English version
[*]Descriptions centred (of course)

For installation instructions or for the original British English descriptions (i.e. Heavy Clouds etc.) see my original post.

For centred text versions of the original descriptions (i.e. Heavy Cloudy etc.) see this post.

Here are the 'before' and 'after' screenshots and the updated qa_weather_description.zip file: -
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
look for my reply to his post. don't install the Fonts. The theme will use your system's default font.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
Hey thanks for the centered text version! :)

I'll add that fix on my original post.

BTW, I think "Overcast" is the perfect description for "Heavy Cloudy"/"Heavy Clouds". :)

Layout G request

Greatbal, First off, I love your work. I was just wondering if you would consider possibly doing your layout G just a litle different than planned. My request is to keep the weather tab, move the calendar to the time page and then add the MRU page/tab. I would love to have both weather and MRU tabs. I really haven't needed the info on the time page (different time zones etc..) and am currently using that page for the calender. I just can't seem to make the MRU page to work properly. Any way I just thought I'de make the request and hoping that others might have the same preference. If not, I'll just continue to try to figure it out. Thank you for all that you've done
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] y1mrn:
I'm glad you approve! Thanks for the link in your original post.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] y1mrn:
I'm afraid all credit for the actual theme and weather tab etc. goes to Greatbal and he would have to answer this one.
