I like and appreciate the Diamond themes but I have a question:

When I slide the clock changes from a digital clock to another analog clock? is there a way to turn that off, so it goes right to Programs or Contacts?

Thanks

How is this your work? it looks to me like you took the work of Greatbal, 420mac, amo1759 (and i am sure others) changed the color and called it your own. i see no coding change which most of it was handwritten by Greatbal. how can you feel good about your second post being one asking for donations for stealing others work?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] acazes33:
Great job - it works really well on my P3600 Trinity - The only improvement I would like to have is the multiline display for the calendar tab because long meeting names are not fully displayed. I think it is fully displayed in the original SPB Mobile Shell.

Tank you for the good work. Keep going !

I'm confused???????

And this is different than the theme I posted and you picked up HOW????????

Hey ahmedfikry.

No problem, ok try these.

I've gotta go to work now so i won't be back until tomorrow morning :mad:

Hey rmedad,

What do you mean it's different than the theme you posted?

It will be different i made it lastnight... :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Splitter:
Love you guys.. and your hard work is incredible...

But...

...could we switch gears? Tweaking the Diamond theme(s) is great, and it looks fantastic but... I'm itching for something completely different than anything posted thus far.

If I were as talented as you guys, I'd try to build one myself... but for lack of talent and TIME...

Anyhoo.. If any of you are up to it.. I'm thinking of a theme that is circular, in burnt orange/gray/silver/black.... smoothly digital.. but all round. I don't know of any other way to explain it.

If we could blend the ferarri theme clock and battery icon with the colors I like, and somehow make everything a little more round... I dunno.

Any thoughts?

Hi!

I need some help.

Unfortunately no any theme can't use. In my installation of SPB Shell 2.1 I have just v*_***.dat but not q*_***.dat (f.e. vp_menu_btn.dat but not qp_menu_btn.dat). When I copy themes's files and try launch MS 2.1 - pocket doesn't responding...

As I see something should be changed: my pocket or my brains?:confused:

Have ideas?

Thnks.

I do. MS works fine. I'm use the qVGA and all icons and functionality are good.

At the same time in \Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell are just 2 qa_... files:

Isn't it?

Practical Diamond Themes (Black theme & White theme)

Hi all

attached here is my modifications to the Greatbal Diamond theme with help from y1mrn for tweaks

i basically like the diamond look but tried to avoid many screen tabs to get to what i want... so this is what i call "practical" or quick Diamond theme

features:

- 3 page layout (clock, programs, speed dial)

- if in today screen, the 3 small (drop) menues on gesture will show appropriatly

- clock either analog or digital - I added ":" dots between the clock tabs

- programs has 6 menu icons & the backlight only from MRU

- Spb phone suite integration, but moved to launcher page to make finger frindly

-centered status icons in landscape mode

-theme colored BG transparacncy to allow different user color choices through spb shell theme settings

-Calender moved to time page (accessed by clicking clock on main screen)

- Added "alarm" clickable icon to calender page bottom bar to allow setting alarms from within shell

-Weather icon in programs page too.

there is one for black diamond & one for the long waited for white diamond

this themes is fixed and will work for protrait & landscape...

comments are appriciated...thanks

enjoy.......

EDIT: fixed the white diamond topbar & the operator/signal icon ...looks better now..(fixed) file attached below
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] robosiris:
screenshots?

Edit: The screenshots are very nice. can't wait to get this on my phone. Your skin is extremely practical and simplistic. I like both, especially the white, but the calendar would be difficult to view during the day. So I'm going to vote for the black.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fablife:
Although both themes are very nice - Heffy's graphics are very attractive - I really do hope someone helps out with developing that specific WM7 theme for MS. Im not a designer, but would be more than happy to test.

Hey,

I've just installed the HTC Diamond SPB MS2.1 Theme v1.1 (version B), using Mobile Shell for the first time and it's like having a new phone!!!

Couple of questions.

1) I'm using slide to unlock, is there any way of integrating it into the main / clock screen. I installed that cab file that makes SPB show all the time, so I don't use the now screen at all and it's made locking the phone that little bit harder. Because I have to go into programs tab to lock the phone, that's what displays after unlocking and I'd like it to show the clock tab instead.

2) For the calendar tab, is there any way of integrating something other than the standard Windows Mobile calendar / appointments sofware. Which is rubbish!

thanks!

any changes of an updated Glass GSmart skin. Maybe some big weather icons and an option for wireless toggle.

Hope you will have some time to do an update on colors also.

This skin is fantastic!! I was curious if there was a way to tie the HTC weather program in instead of the built-in Mobile Shell program?? The HTC weather is much more realistic.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] d190610:
First of all, i like to apologize to Greatbal, 420mac & amo1759.

I'm not claiming the credit of your works. Your works are great & excellent.

Out of interest, i put my hand on modifying the theme with color and little changes in the graphic (Not much).

Frankly, i had spend some time on digesting & understanding the xml files before making changes.

As for the theme color/graphics, it took me longer time to change it & put them into the program to make it work.

I spend many rounds on copying files and resetting the phone till it finally works.

Donation? You think not worth, ignore it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pcarvalho:
actually i can't ignore it...cause if i start something and say its to be free and then comes others that ask for so called donations i get pretty much disappointed...

why? Cause all the works presented are based on the how to’s showed but tutorials and files that where modified by myself and others...i didn’t receive any so why should you…I have more time spent in making things than anyone here…have I ever asked for anything…no

you might say you spent time making it...well without my and others knowledge you wouldn't have done it in the first place...

please stop asking for donations (and/or posting links for them) cause it will make me not post the things I am in the middle of…I have even stopped posting screenshots of my most recent work cause even through those people can copy may ideas and post them as their own like it has already happened…i'm still a step ahead but these situations make me wonder if i should even bother :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cjgosalbez:
For me the skin amo1759, it seems to me the best.

Use the first version of the magnificent diamond3Dvsamo1759, with an amendment that came into the forum a German citizen Slurm on post 1204 diamond3Dvsamo1759_ger.zip, which settled the interference SpbPhoneSuite icon in the upper right and you can see and access from all displays (clock, calendar, contacts and programs).

It seems to me an excellent solution, we must not change the icons of SpbPhoneSuite (as proposed in other post), plus have access from any screen to change their way of sound and there is no problem when playing with his finger in that area of the screen no matter how big is your finger.

I used the latest version of 3D V3.0 Diamond: Carrousel, I feel very good, fast and I love that only with gestures can go through all the screens, but in fact less access to SpbPhoneSuite from any screen, because can only be used from the screen clock. (in addition to touching is also active calls lost, time or contacts, I have the big toe)

One could make a version with the volume (SpbPhoneSuite) in the upper right as it solves Slurm.

Thank you and pardon my English and the text so long.

Slurm?

Anyone know what a "Slurm" is?

Seriously though:

I want to THANK all the great developers, coders, graphics artists, and tinkerers on this site. You guys have done some awesome work and inspired me to try to learn some of this stuff. I have been modifying greatbal's theme and incorporating the hard work of others and have made changes here and there to suit my needs.

I posted an early version of my work to share with others that might be interested(probably about 20 pages back), and gave credit to all I could think of who's hard work I incorporated.

Of course, I too have put in countless hours learning how to read and modify the xml files and figuring out how to make new graphics work properly, but I would never even think about asking for a donation. I am being paid well in experience, knowledge, and a sense of accomplishment.

I'm kind of hesitant now to post my final result if/when I ever get it just the way I want it. I wouldn't want anyone to think I was trying to claim it as my work. I know that what I have done is minor compared to the work others have put into it.

Again, thank you all for your hard work. I am really enjoying my "new" phone.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Quadman:
Greatbal is there anyway you can add more contact pages to this theme like your diamond theme?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tom108:
you gave credit where credit was due. don't hesitate to share more. greatbal and others i am sure have no problem with people tweaking their work. heck they are just tweaking SPB's work anyways. but re branding something with a different name and face is wrong.

i am sure every designer loves to see his/her work being tweaked and modified. i just don't think some people should claim it as theirs.

like i said you gave credit to the ones you used and thats all you need to do. :)

Couple of issues

Love the Diamond skin! Using the "X" skin from y1mrn. I have 2 issues--see screen shots.

1. I still use the today screen for some things. The Phone Suite icon transfers over to the Mobile Shell tabs. Anyone know how to change this either to the default Mobile Shell icon or the regular icons?

2. On the new screens, the "Verizon Wireless" overlaps the rest of the icons. I'd really like it gone, or at least off the other icons. How can I move it?

Thanks for any help!

**Edit--found cody's Personalizer, and fixed the "Verizon Wireless" issue. I changed that to just a simple space... Still need help with #1.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 420Mac:
Hey kylechx,

Do you mean you haven't got the leading zero in the hour part of the clock?

If so you need to set the Time Format to HH':'mm, if that isn't in the settings, then go to the install directory and open the lang.ini file and add a H, so it looks like this s_DefaultAptTimeFormat3=HH':'mm

Use iLock2 and then restart S2U2 and you should have the leading zero.

When i have a bit of spare time or i can keep my eyes open long enough after work i'll see what i can do regarding the battery.

Greatbal,

any chance of swapping the Weather and Contacts pages (in layout C)? I used to have a shortcut from the Today screen to the Contacts page and use it every day, and it just bugs me that it now takes me to the Weather screen.

For those of you who know how to do it, this is probably not hard - so I apologize for the noob request.

That'd be so cool.

Many thanks,
