Orange Diamond v1.2

This is a Layout C Theme.

- Single NowScreen Page.

- No MRU Page.

- Single Contacts Page.

- Note: Gesture left and right to change between pages.

I've Just Modified it to have new enlarged weather icons Samurize.

New Backgrounds for Tab / Programs / Status + Bubble / Contacts / Clock.

New Menu Icons / Menu Bar.

I've also removed the Grid Lines from the program pages.

Thanks again to Greatbal for his creative work!

Thanks to y1mrn for his weather descriptions!

Thanks to Bob_55 for his weather icons!

Sorry gagaza that i didn't post this Theme earlier as i said i would, i had to go away for a couple of days with work.

I've also included the Orange Diamond.tsk v1.2 in the download.

Download the Bug Fixes, unzip, and copy the files to the install folder and overwrite the 3 files!

Sorry, i rushed it before i had to leave for work! :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gagaza:
WOW! Incredible looking theme. Your work is always topnotch.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] erichss:
Greatbal, first i want to say your skins are GREAT. Second I hope you don't mind, but I used my own background for your skin. Here's what it looks like on my phone.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lsherif:
Hi 420Mac,

Very nice indeed , just one simple question, how do i change the font at the today screen with the tsk file to be black , as i am getting it now in white & it is not readable with this lovely skin ?

NICE THEME, BUT HOW TO GET FAVOURITE APPS ??? DO U HAVE A .CAB OR SOMETHING ELSE?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] b_u_d:
Nice skin

This is an excellent skin - I am using this as my favourite at the moment... but just one thing that I am puzzled over... on the picture above there are 2 appointments showing - but it only ever shows one appointment on mine...

How can I get it to show two?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wisedesi:
Hi Excellent theme, I installed it and was just wow. Hi few thing I have noticed on my HTC mogul is when you click on the big weather icon on the weather tab, highlighted square is no aligned with the image. Highlighted squre is above the normal image. This is more nit picking but when you go to anywhere else lets say calendar we don't have any feeling it is orange skin, if you have background orangish color like when you use other tsk skin.

Again thanks for awesome skin.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scottmail:
I am showing 2 appointments. If I don't have any for today, it shows tomorrow's appointments. Works Great!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluemetalaxe:
i use this great skin now,

1. but i found/have this graphics bug, a black line only on first tab, could you please rework this ?

2. and when you on the way, could you make one without windows menu button (yes, me again ;)) or a easy way to makes this disable ?

3. You have some nice icons, can you make more of them to replace all the build in applications icons of mobile shell ?

4. i replaced your "weather.description.dat" with a german version for greatballs skin, but it seems not to work, still have the english text, dont know where this comes from? anyone has a german text version for this skin ?

5. A calendar instead of the shortcuts-skin would be nice

6. the Font is much too small (see second picture)

I know lot of questions, sorry, but i always get lost in this dats and zips and its hard to customize if you are a winzip, bmp and xml noob. But a really great skin !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sethman80:
hello all, first post here.

I've an issue with the "HTC_Diamond_MS2.1_Theme_version1.1_Full"

all the upper icons seems to be forced in the upper right corner as you can see in the img attached.

Any suggestions/info/help?

Thanks so much in advance.

Wooooow works great on my ultimate 9502 YOU ARE MY HEROOOOOOOOO

thanks very much for your work .. hope to see more of this colorful themes on this VGA screen pdas THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANKS :D :D :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sigmaxaa:
I totally

LOVE

this theme!!! What are the odds that you could pull it together using the purple/blue starburst background image from OSX? Your theme is fantastic and functions perfectly but I'm a huge fan of that image and was hoping you could compile your theme with that image as the background.

Thanks for the great work!

Many thanks, much appreciated. I've been moaning and begging for somebodyu to do this for ages. You have really made my day.

Please tell me which charity you want a donation made to.

You are welcome, glad I could help you guys out. Just find a local charity in your area.:D

PS: I hate SPB for that Bull**** with customizing :mad:

EDIT: PLEASE NOOBS READ FIRST, MY GRAPHICS ARE NOT IN THE ZIP ! THIS ARE JUST FILES FOR MAKING A MS BACKGOUND!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] drb123:
Hi RoboDad..........are still you reading this thread?

It is now almost July and you posted this file in March. Maybe that's why the download link on page 9 or 10 is no longer active. I have read thru the 1st 30+ pages and I can not find an updated link for the Black UI 2.1 theme that I would very much like to download and install.

Thanks to anyone else out there who can redirect me to an active link, and RoboDad this theme is sweet!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Thor84:
Rather cool!

Waiting from you soon, mtkates!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nightcookie:
Great work, 420Mac! Perfect contrast for bright sunlight outside!

Two little things:

1) I think this would look a-w-e-s-o-m-e with the black-on-white clock. Could u put it in?

2) When you tap the speaker icon, the popup menu (for vibrate / sound off etc) has a black font on black background.

Thx a lot for looking into this!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] qubz:
I like the designs in these graphics, specifically the push button menu style is rather `linuxish`, and the round volume dial, I was wondering, could the green bars indicating the volume level around the bezel be mapped to the screen for circle slide touch volume adjustment?

Many downloads, but no help?, IN MY ZIP ARE ONLY THE FILES FOR MAKING THE MS BACKGROUND, ILL POST THE REST WHEN ITS COMPLETE

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] peacock93:
cedzen, I would like to integrate your weather tab icon setup into my greatbal theme. I have extracted the cab file but I'm not sure of everything I need to use out of your theme to put into mine.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] intoby:
It's wondering if someone can fabricate this to .tsk (today screen)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kockroach:
Here ya go! Just change the .dat to .zip and copy over. What about a landscape background?

EDIT: Removed file.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kockroach:
This link will take you to the home page for ThemeGenCE, which is a great little app for creating TSK files. I think it would be better for you to learn how to make a TSK, rather than asking others to do something that might not end up how you would prefer it to look. It's a great little program.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] qubz:
sorry cant xml, yet..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluemetalaxe:
you are my hero ! its the skin from cedzen and he did not make it landscape. but for me no prob because i never use landscape. thanks, i post all cube skins and backgounds later.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BenThon:
...which is a great little app for creating TSK files...

little, little... more than 50 000 lines of code ! but I agree, it is great ! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] qubz:
little? humph? assembly language..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kockroach:
Hi BenThon,

I did not mean to offend. I am in no way a programmer, so I was unaware of the extent of coding required. WOW! Amazing work! What a great BIG app! ;)

Also, I really like your MSCEInf program too!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kockroach:
Not a problem, glad I could help. And so you know, all that was needed to do is to call your "cube.bmp" image "Separator2.bmp", and replace it in the qp_bkg_now.dat file, making sure to use the password and encryption settings. It didn't require your other BMP file.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluemetalaxe:
me again, its not working K ! the white tabs are gone and the backgrond is just grey ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kockroach:
Give me a little bit. I'll take a look at it.

EDIT: Okay. You know, I didn't even notice that it was a stack of four images like that. My bad. It should work now. FYI, so you know what I did: I used IrfanView to create a vertical panorama of your cube.bmp file. Basically, four copies arranged vertically. Then using GIMP, I added it as a background layer. Again, just change it from .ZIP to .DAT.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] janharoun:
to mtkates ...

first thank you very much for making a vga theme it is really beautiful ...

second since i feel stupid to ask you to convert other themes ( coz maybe you don't have that much time ) can you plz show me how to do that ...

a little how to convert a qvga theme to a vga one tutorial would be fantastic from you .........
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mtkates:
Converting Themes to VGA-Mini Tutorial

It wasn't that hard, just time consuming.

The first thing I did was compare the .dat files used for QVGA and VGA. VGA still used a few files that started with qa_ (such as qa_layouts.dat).

Then I took the Diamond QVGA theme and changed most of the qa_ ql_ and qp_ files to va_ vl_ and vp_ files (such as vp_bkg_now). Then resized all images in va_ vl_ and vp_ files to double size and edited index.xml files to match new image sizes.

Then the fun part. Go through every .xml file in qa_layouts.dat and make sure that all images referenced have a DoubleSkin reference after the Skin reference.

I think that was about it. You don't have to change all the dimensions in the .xml files, the program uses the 240x320 layouts with the DoubleSkin reference.

A big help for me to find some coding errors that were messing things up is to open the .xml file in Internet Explorer. It will report syntax errors to you (but not where they are). But it will not report missing information such as a reference to a Skin but not a DoubleSkin. You just have to read the file carefully fo find those.

If you have never done any modifications on themes, this will probably be a huge challenge, but if you have some experience, it's not too bad.

I don't have a VGA phone so I did all my comparisons and testing with the Microsoft PPC emulator on my computer.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluemetalaxe:
mh, looks a little better, some white icons are back (menue) . dont know what our french guy did (because he´s no longer talking to us), but seems he made the white icons a part of the background wallpaper and lay over greatball black icons

But still all white tabs at bottom are missing and background is still dark grey. see screenshot.

I found many other problems and bugs with this skin so everone is welcome to make a better greatballs skin with white graphics !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kockroach:
Are you using that whole theme, or just trying to take parts from it? I don't understand why the background isn't your "cube" image. Also, one thing I did notice is that the PSD file you provided has the "contacts" image (the one with the silhouette and phone) in a different spot than where it is in the Separator2.bmp file from the original theme. There has to be some other things going on in the XML files....possibly.

EDIT: bluemetalaxe, I think I might know what was wrong. Try the file I attached in this post. Change the extension to DAT.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluemetalaxe:
i use the complete skin. the pds was a bonus of cedzen in his download zip. Sorry, but i get the feeling that this guy not really knows what or how to do ?

SO its time to go back to greatball and hope anyone else will make a white diamond skin ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kockroach:
bluemetalaxe, check my post above yours.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] drb123:

Would it be possible to get a 9th Icon for the MRU page ?

In English?

Merci

Would it be possible to get a 9th Image for the Task Manager Icon?

Also, one dumb question, how do I get from Mobile Shell to no Shell, that button has been replaced!

Merci

Why no Swedish åäöÅÄÖ when translating?

Hi all!

I've translated Greatballs Diamond theme into Swedish, but when i use one of the 3 last Swedish letters /åäö and ÅÄÖ) they wont show up.

What can i do about this?

Someone?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ToddeSwe:

HOW?

Did you managed to get that caller thingy with the flipping contacts?

When?

Are you going to release this?

how do you install HTC Diamond ? I have SPB mobile Shell.... Just not sure how to install the HTC Diamond...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluemetalaxe:
@K your still my man it works fine now:D

Okay got everything together, this is nothing special, most graphics are from xda devs (thanks to all), just reworked some backgrounds and buttons.

1.

wallpaper

for windows mobile

2.

splashscreen

: Put it in your windows folder, replace original (use totalcommander)

3.

Set volume

: first you need one of this great setvolume-skins: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=401645

- replace the background and the buttons in folder programs/setvolume/skins/manilla with mine. You must do that before you started setvolume the first time, if its already running, do a softreset first.

4.

s2u2

: replace the clockfolder the wallpaper and the notice-buttons with mine

5.

igo8

: create the following folders(if they arnt allready there) in your StorageCard(Speicherkarte)/ igo8 folder: ui_igo8/240_320/background and put in the wallpaper

6.

ThumbCal

: replace the two backgrounds with the orginal in windows/programs/ThumbApps/ThumbCal

7.

Mobileshell,

install this skin from cezden on mobile shell

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2346265&postcount=3137

and replace the dat in the folder with the dat form Kochroach (then softreset).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kockroach:
Glad to see it's working for you bluemetalaxe! It looks good!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluemetalaxe:
thank you, if you have time ?:D

do you see the small black line in the middle picture (mobile shell). This is just on the home tab, not on the other taps, maybe you find the bug ?

Im really sorry but i always get lost with winzip, encrypting and others and i normally take corel but corel cant open 16bit bmps and now i`m a paintshop noob.

and i have winzip and paintshop not in my native language.

Hi,

Trying to translate MS2.1 and Phone Suit to swedish and done with MS but have a small problem with Phone Suit. There is a text file (SpbPhoneSuite_en.txt) you can change to have the translation and the one I having problem with is the Sound/Ring levels below the profile name in the profile list in PS.

Below is some of my tries (the percent can have different values, 20 is just one test):

Sound 20% \| Ring incr. 20%|Ljud 20% \| Signalökning. 20%

Sound %d% \| Ring incr. %d%|Ljud %d% \| Signalökning. %d%

Sound %s \| Ring incr. %s|Ljud %s \| Signalökning. %s

Sound|Ljud

Ring incr.|Signalökning

Any one having luck of fixing this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluemetalaxe:
dear swedish friends: i read some days ago that it is

not possible

to translate everything, so i think you must wait for a swedish version.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] carl99:
I'm not sure about that ... have translated everything (all in Phone Suit you can use within MS2.1) apart from the example above :)

If its not in the text file you get when you install MS or PS you can add the text and the translation into the files and it will translate ... the problem above is how to handle the % and matching the whole row ...

Edit: I think you can translate everything in MS also beside the weather type which I think is graphic
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kockroach:
I see the line, and it is also in cedzen's theme, but I cannot tell where it is located in the files. Not sure if it is a background image or a line being drawn.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Brenn:
To remove that black line just above the tabs you need to edit the "main.xml" file and remove references to plugin "line1" in all the layouts.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kockroach:

I've attached some pictures of the problem I'm facing, when i select a button icon disappears and is replaced by a rectangle box ( as shown in picture ) i have used many themes and faced this problem with most of them. must be something wrong with my registry or something I'm a super noob :p so please guide me step by step .. how I can fix it. !! :)

Any way of making this a .cab (much easier to uninstall that way not that i would :D) and part of the clock to not be part of a wallpaper (if you know what i mean) for us to be able to choose our own wallpaper. Thnx im really loving this theme.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] moddin:
uninstall theme, reinstall mobile shell, install theme that should do it. It did for me anyway

Can't get it back and the problem is still there. :confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ahmedfikry:
i ca make it in a .cab file..ill post soon

i am not sure what you mean by clock & wallpaper, explain more please
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] moddin:
Look at the wallpaper and the the two squares that are part of the clock are actually the wallpaper and the numbers of the clock overlay on top of them so if you change your background the squares disappear leaving the small number.
