IT's great and lovable for sure but anytimes I try to install it on my clean SBP Shell v2.1 installation, it hangs up.

I have a JasJar... anyones using this skin with no isses on the Universal?

About the installation, I overwrite the SBP files then launch the 2 reg files.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] IABovine:
Greatbal, I've been using your theme for awhile now and *LOVE* it...my favorite one in a very long time.

Personally, I prefer the contact images to be a bit bigger--almost touching. I'm not a skinner at all, but how difficult of a task is it to make those icons bigger? Is it something a determined newbie could do?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] o4r:
Use this.

Made by someone in this forum.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
I used to have zero knowledge re all this. used themes i find here and kept a close watch for any updates and replies to my requests. But then again, knowing people here are busy with their personal lives, I decided to start learning how to edit what others did based on my needs. And now I'm skinner myself. hehe ;)

Try to read the how-to for beginners thread. I'm sure you can do it. Willingness and perseverance are the keys to success. hehe :)

myUI installation

It seems that some are having trouble trying out my latest theme. I'll try to explain..

I wanted to get rid of having 9 menu icons in one page but group them in 2 main menus which will have their own tab/page.

First, the ms2.1 theme should work without the reg files installed. but will only show whatever your fist 2 menu icons are. Hence the need to install the reg files. All the reg file does is create a new menu in the registry containing the other menus:

Application menu/reg file will have:

Organizer

Task manager

Internet

Multimedia

Programs

Messaging

Settings menu/reg file will have:

Settings

Tools

As you can see this eliminate the need for 9 menu icons in one page, this way I was able to show a bigger menu icon which when clicked will show the other menus.

After installing the reg files you must go to Customize Menu settings in Mobile shell and only select Application (newly created menu by the reg file and if you expand it you should see the other menus), also make sure its before Settings so the tabs are in order and deselect the rest.

I hope this explains or solves the issues that some are getting. And I apologize if my themes require many mods. I just love trying out new things and see how much we can get out of SPB Mobile Shell.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kangmas:
Kulet78, when I click on the two reg files using resco registry, it says 'Resco Registry module not found'. Using total commader give same result. Have softreset and try again but same thing. Any help? :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kulet78:
Same here, I have asked questions myself before I got into skinning. But then I just decided to pick apart or analyze how the codes work and how to make new icons. The moment I figured it out, I started getting ideas for new themes. Belive me, the moment you figure out the basics like rearrange layouts and customizing icons, everything else is the same. Then you find yourself stuck in front of your pc creating your own theme, soft reseting your windows mobile emulator many many times, and not knowing what's going in the outside world.

Then you finally go out and find out that the gas prices went up like a dollar or two from the last time you went out, so stay home and create more themes!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kulet78:
You must have registry add-in for resco explorer to use resco. I can't share the registry add-in cab but a google search should point you in the right direction.

so, may I ask whether the diamond theme complete ? how about the landscape ? any improvements pls ? sorry if my language is rude !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
working on the landscape and other modifications now. I'll release the updated versions (and different layouts based on some requests) within a week. It just take so much time (and gallons of coffee, hehe). Yeah, kulet78 said it right. And I don't even know what day today is! lol :p

Sorry about the delay... I need to work, I need to eat, I need to get la*d! I also have a life you know. lol
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bapssystupr3m3:
no prob man take your time...i know getting la*d is just as important ;)you're already supreme =)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nightcookie:
Greatbal,

what can I say. Yours is the one MS skin that actually made me stop playing around with other skins. It's been said before: Do you ever switch on your PPC just to look at the design because you're so happy with it? For sure I do!

So thanks a lot, mate! And keep up the great work, looks like this is getting even better, canyoubelieveit!! :D

Just one minor point:

Have you noticed that the shortcuts available for Spb Pocket Plus here

\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Spb Mobile Shell

don't always take you to the right panel? The dialer shortcut, for example, takes me to the weather panel, and I haven't yet managed to find out why, or how to change that.

Finally, do keep gestures! Can't have enough eye candy! ;)

N.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kangmas:
Thanks bro, managed to install it. Take me few tries and softresets. I'm very impress, bro. You, and few others (greatbal, robodad, and others that I haven't mention. You know who you are) have taken skinning to the next level. Hats off to you all.. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sonox:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] samot28:
Hello, just uninstall 2.0 version and install 2.1 version of spbmobile shell instead. It solved this problem for me.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Fitz:
Hey Greatball

I love your diamond theme! it's really great!

I saw your new weather pictures and that looks even better!

I don't know if it has been mentioned before, but i saw a little graphic"bug"

I finally got the White clock to work.

But it still needs a bit more work on the white background, to increase the the size and rounding of the corners when i've got a bit of spare time.

Meanwhile here's a teaser ;)

Yes, you answered my question although it is not what I wanted to hear. I want the ability to be able to make different contact shortcuts for those. I'm learning how to do it so as Greatbal said, perservence and patience.

thanks again for your contributions.:)

Kulet, your theme is fantastic. the more I test it, the more I fell in groove with it. Did a few changes, namely digital clock, and tweak registry to add game, my menu and my setting folder. Just fell in love with the weather icon. Just one gripe is that it take about 5mb off my usual ram usage. But that's the price you pay for beauty. well done bro .. :)

wow kulet di ka na natulog. I love your theme! Makes me really want to sell my i780 :( !!! haha anyway if i were to adapt your theme and resize it to a 320x 320, where would i start? I have tried editing a couple of the .dat files but I'm not too sure if what im doing is correct because when I access my spb mobile all i see is a blank screen. Im not too sure where to begin. Maybe you could point me to the right direction of how i am to figure it out/? thanks so much! I really do want to try and learn to convert your great themes (urs and greatball) to square 320 x 320 screens. Thanks!

i tried out the diamond theme posted on page 69, im sure theres an updated for it but i cant find it. anyways great job from what ive seen so far, but how do i exit mobileshell now? Im sure im doing something dumb but i see no way to exit it. There use to be an X button to close it, or at least i thought it closed it. Now I can press the end key, but it seems like it just makes it invisible.

Help?

I am using this WONDERFUL Diamond theme from greatbal. I am trying to learn how to customize this theme and have looked at the thread with the beginners tutorial (kind of confusing for a newbie like me) and have not been able to find out what I want to do. I would like to remove one of the clocks, remove Programs-MRU and remove all but one of the contacts pages. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all for all the informative post on this site. I am HOOKED!!!

I have unzipped all the .dat files and have looked through them. I just can't figure out what do do from here.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Heefy:
I would like to have a go at making a comm screen similar to the one below but possibly in black to go with the latest Diamond theme from Greatbal.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RGV-Mogul:
Apology to Greatbal

Greatbal,

I owe you an apology. I loaded your Diamond skin and loved it. The reason that I owe you an apology is because when I would click on the organizer > calendar > today, the calendar would open and close and then go back to the main programs screen. I thought it was your skin and blamed you for it. I reflashed my device and reinstalled SPB MS 2.1 without any customization. Tried the same process and found that it does that by default. It only does it with the Calendar.

Therefore, I apologize for doubting your skills. I'm going to check with the SPB team over at the Club and see if they know about this.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] slikkie:
Hmmm I.C. Can't you change the font type then ? I guess not, otherwise you'd already done it.

I am sorry i am not into the Mshell code, it's XML right ?

I am into XML of RLToday and batterystatus.

They give great flexibility egg. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=394340

Fonts, graphics, positions, functionality can all be of your own choice.

My today screen looks like this now. It's always under construction

so don't pay too much attention to it. Tonight it'll look different again.

As we speek i'm editing the clock in manilla theme ; thumb4, should i centre it ?

But i think i am going to make a re-edit of the theme from the above mentioned link and fix BS line in for the profiles (Thumb5).

Maybe MS has not enough flexibility. I like youre theme a lot tough, but not the shell i think.

Could you post you're bottom bar icons, i would like to put them in my UL instead of the LG icons.

#EDIT Never mind the icons i ripped them from a screenshot in somewhere this threat (thumb6) you lick it ?

I think i licked the LG icons better, maybe have to get used to it, or not, DAMN i hate being LIBRA

By the way, do you know what to do when you're mother-in-law stopped smoking ??

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
I just have to clarify...

First of all, nice work! :)

yes, it's XML.

Secondly, It's only in my Weather Tab with the big weather icon that i cannot seem to modify the font size of the temperature without affecting some other texts, as i mentioned it seems to be using the default font.

Thirdly, if you click on the weather icon, it will bring you to the main weather page with all the details. That page is more flexible, as you may put it. You can change fonts and move items around.

Hence, it's not MS's "inflexibility" but my theme where I tried putting a separate Weather Tab. If you notice, no other themes before did that. Not even the original MS theme. So, it's my theme's fault, not MS. hehe :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
No need to apologize man. :)

.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] slikkie:
Don't blaim yourself, you'll find a workaround for this i am sure.

But i am afraid i cannot help you with this, i am edditing a theme for rltoday as we speak.

I've seen themes with bigger temprature fonts, so you'll manage i am sure.

What bothers me mostly about the shell is that i can not access my own email account with the notifier. it always takes me to outlook account.

I know the new phonesuite offers that possibility now, so maybe the new MS will support that one too.

Thats why i like rltoday and BS better.

I might have a plan to make the ultimate Diamond Clone but we gotta be fast since it will be released soon.

We can make a combination, i make a home screen in RLtoday, with the same buttons as you use. You can put the exit function in the home button, so it takes you to the today screen, i can then put the [Spb Now Screen] and the others in the other tabs.

What da ya think ? The perfect combination. Everybody happy.

I'll post an example today screen soon, still working on it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
Sounds cool! :)

I've read SPB MS will be coming out with a new version soon. I hope for more improvements and more flexibility.

In Main.dat I changed Tab1 from "Home" to "LockScreen_Digital" and Tab4 from "MainContacts" to "SpeedDial1" and it now has Digital clock only and one contacts screen.

I still can't figure out how to remove Programs-MRU. I tried changing Tab2 from "Programs" to "Launcher". It got rid of Programs-MRU, but Programs-Main now has no buttons/icons.

Anyody have any ideas?
