Hi again,

I need help, for xml and for appearance !

I've made some fix : white bar on the top, center everything, weather and sound adujst and now there are my questions :

1- What to you think of the icons on the bottom for calls/sms.... Should it be better to put them on the bottom and move up sound and weather ?

2 - How can I move the bottom icons (home/calendar/launcher/weather/contacts) for some pixels to the bottom, cause it not visual good, icons are too up in the grey bar.

Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
Someone started that before, with a note to post only themes. but, i guess, people don't read notes. hehe. the thread was also cluttered with comments and questions. in the end, the thread died a natural death. too bad. :(

My screen

I have little bug look...attachment

please help me lol
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aruppenthal:
It is looking good. Personally I liked the Iphonish Icons better for the calls and sms. What Icons are you using on the menu screen?

Is it possible/easier to make the bottom bar a little taller? That would make the icons sit center and keep you from having to move them.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] toniolol:
Maybe in a second release because iphonish icons are too bigs and I don't know how to reduce them...maybe simply reduce bmps ??

And for center, I try.....why not make the bottom bar taller....I'll make a try on gimp...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aruppenthal:
Which .dat are the sms/mail icons in ill see what i can do to size them a little smaller
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] toniolol:
Hi, thanks for your help !

it's the qa-status.dat.

i put in attachement the both dat, one from the diamond theme and the other from my WM7 theme.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dianeofarcadia:
thank you. ;)

It was nothing you did wrong, it is just me. I don't know how to make the mobile shell themes.

i got them edited im testing them now to see how they look.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cincy1020:
Hi:

Thanks for your reply. I didn't choose G or H, because I do want the calendar tab, and most importantly the left/right gestures.

Thanks anyway :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mikedav01:
New version

Personally, why not use the real estate. Its there. When you do finalize, can you post the files in a zip instead of cab. For my device, it seems to like that method better?

Thank you for your efforts...greatly appreciated!!!

Le Psyfou little bug

Le Psyfou, I think you have SPB phone suite installed, but didn't install the PS diamond theme.

Go here, choose either layout W, X, Y, or Z, your "little bug" will be solved.

Hi mike,

sorry for my english but what's a 'real estate' ?

Ok for the zip, I'll post them quickly, I've made cabs cause it's easier to put in it the registry modifications and also the directory for files.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cincy1020:
Hi:

This is a little off topic, but I thought I would ask. Does anyone have a phone suites skin, which will match Greatbal's diamond theme?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MyRho:
...as promised - here is the german weather description dat - file for greatbal's theme.

Just rename it to *.zip and use it.

Real Estate

Sorry Tonio, real estate is the space on the screen, either used or unused. If its empty, its unused. ;).

So I was suggesting spreading the 5 icons in the way you had it, maybe spaced in the look you will like, artistically speaking.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iamnohs:
If you are using SPB Weather you can change the settings to retrieve your weather information from a different service. The forums over at SPBclub.com have details on doing that. Otherwise, I think you are stuck.

2. Is there a guide for editing icons somewhere?

If this is not the correct place to ask, please let me know.

SPB should be proud with this thread.

But all the members are AMAZING ! to make this thing happen.

I take a bow to you guys .... ;)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kwickone:
Agreed....and what they should also do is build a "load theme/skin" capability into the UI! That way there is a standard format for themes and you can easily add and change them...even have multiple themes on the device and change when you feel like it!

:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nightcookie:
Marfanuk,

as I said, one great touch to the Diamond!

Just one thing: Could you check your ".tsk"s? They've got a thin white line (1 pixel?) on the right border. Looks irritating, particularly in Landscape.

Thanks a bunch!

The Ignored Minority

Mate, get used to being ignored. None of the developers here has a VGA based phone or gives a flying crap about VGA users. They don't even respond to polite requests. It is like you don't exist.

definitely not as dynamic as the qvga themes, but this thread has some vga options for ms 2.1...check it out.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mtkates:
I think maybe you are taking it wrong. Do you want everyone here that cannot help you to add a post to this thread saying they can't help? This thread is big enough as it is and people are spending a lot of time filling requests they can and developing new themes.

I have some experience programming for windows, but even if I studied hard, I would have a hard time programming for a Mac if I didn't own one to test things out as I go, so you need to find someone with a VGA phone that can help you out, or maybe do like I have been doing and start learning to do this stuff for yourself.

The people here are very helpful, when they have the answer or knowledge, and they share their knowledge, tallents, and hard work here and in other threads, and they do it for FREE!

You are not being ignored, your question/request/whatever has just not been read yet by someone that can help you.

Is anyone working on Heefy's version of WM7?? I REALLY like the idea of incorporating Insight feeds on the now screen! I'd pay for a theme like this!! The only thing I go back to the actual today screen for anymore is the scrolling RSS feeds.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mtkates:
I have been working on this theme. It is a lot of work and I am having to learn a lot as I go along.

I don't know that it will be possible to have RSS feeds inside of Mobile Shell. These theme variations are just changing graphics and layouts of the program. Adding RSS feeds would be adding something that is not already there, which may not be possible.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mtkates:
Can you upload your DAT files? Maybe I can help you if I can find the problem in your files then tell you how to fix it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lepsyfou:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pcarvalho:
it isn't possible...there is no plugin that i know of that does that...if you find it...post it...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pcarvalho:
this is due to the fact that the picture is like shown, or Y is to big, check that out and problem will go away...as i said before...if you use it in now screen with bars...make another for the rest or that will happen...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lepsyfou:

Can you give me if I give you the image? Amigo :D

Greatbal-For his very creative Diamond theme and my initial inspiration and Heefy for program icons.

All the great people on this thread that have answered mine and other peoples questions so we can all be a little smarter and more creative.

Note: The frame around contact picture is part of the contact picture, not part of the theme.

Update 6-20-08: I have updated the theme using greatbal's amazing version 1.2 of his Diamond theme.

Update 6-25-08: Now available with appointments on the now screen!

.cab files now available for easy installation.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dharvey4651:
I'm very interested. Those icons look so nice. I think you should wait to release it though until you can make a complete set with all kinds of weather IE: thunderstorm, rain, light rain, heavy rain, flurries, snowing, fog... etc...

that would be really cool.

Hi Dharvey,

Are you the one that released the Almost OEM 6.1 Sprint Rom V3 on Geeks site? Wow, I can't believe you're on this site also.

By the way, I forgot to say THANKS to your ROM on the other site, but I really appreciate your work. I'm using the "lite" version now and it's VERY stable, and nice!!!

On my weather, I do have the complete set of 17 icons. I just can't find any location (not even in Alaska) that has thunderstorm, or snow to get SPB weather to show, so I can capture the picture and upload it for you all to see. But it's all in the weather file.

I might move the tempetures to the center.

Will update tonight.
