Just downloaded and installed the Diamond D, but SPB phone suite icon is still on the top bar, with too large icon.

Something I am doing wrong?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
I definitely don't mind. Greek users will be pleased! ;)

Thanks! :)

oh, BTW, it's greatbal and not greatball. hehe :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] badyto:
Thanks, i will take a look on this :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
I downloaded and installed layout D just to test. I'm using it right now. Profile icon is on the right bottom part of the NowScreen.

Please make sure you downloaded layout D. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Trig8:
Downloaded again. This time it worked!

Last download also said "D".....

Excellent work on your side on this!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] heartpumper77:
Yeah,

My phone suite did same thing, I think I will try to reinstall everything.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
Good! Thanks. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ch@rly:
Excellent work.

I tried the layout D and works here.

By against the surface of click to activate Phone Suite is too small.

Another suggestion: Despite the weather tab, why not to recall the weather to oppose Phone suite (left)

Even congratulations.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deedee:
Was going to say that the Phone Suite Icon didnt't work but then clicking around i discovered that it does work but only from the bottom bit of the icon. Well in layout E it does anyway, haven't tried D yet.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] heartpumper77:
THANKS GREATBAL

Worked perfect, I would like to use the phone suite icons that someone tweaked but when I install them it looks like they are invisible. I will post link to them...

Thanks

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
So true. This is because of the "little work-around" i had to do to exclude the volume text. You have to click on the Profile icon on the bottom-part of the icon. :(

If you notice, i used a lot of "cheating" to make this theme look and behave as it is now. Sorry for the "imperfections" such as the profile icon and the behavior of the status icons among other things. :(

The only "cheating" I was happy about was the creation of the Weather Tab and the Weather Description. Which I think would compensate for the imperfections of the theme as a whole. hehe :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] haiopei:

great work :D

Version "D" is the one i waiting for ;)

Thanks a lot for your great theme.

I looking forward to your next works :)

Different issue and it has been there since the beginning of this skin, all my contact photos are missing the top wee bit, i get a grey bar instead. Any other skin all is fine.

Layout D. if you set the clock to analog the speaker button is there but the clickable area is reallly small and makes it hard to actually select. Actually on both digial and analog it has the same problem. Can you surround the volume button with the clickable area?

hey there!

is it possibly to display full-time/allday/daylong events like anniversarys/birthdays etc. on the calendar screen with these skins? because that is the only thing i really miss in the mobile shell suit.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] supersobbie:
Thanks to Greatbal

Greatbal,

I love your theme. I am testing your version E theme as this is the one that I would like. I have one issue with it... the carrier and the battery overlap for me.

To give you the entire story I reinstalled MS, then put your E version on, then put the Weather addition in, and after that I changed the SPB Phone suite icons from this thread. I have attached a screenshot of what my home screen looks like. The original icons for phone suite work fine but I would love to see the diamond theme for them.

I am not sure to put feture requests here... but here are 2 that I would LOVe to see (ps I posted them in spbclub a long time ago but they just dont care).

1. a phone history tab.... basically if there is not a pinned item on the contacts page have it fill with recent calls.

2. Having 2 calendar pages, one for current appointments, and one for all day events. I am not sure that this would be possible but it would be GREAT to have.

Anyway, Thank for all your hard work :D. You still amaze me all the work you do on this.

Have a GREAT weekend,

SuPerSoBBie
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bigray327:
Thanks much for the link. Nice to see at least they understand what a skins collections thread should be.

Two notes:

1. Some of the skins are marginally NSFW.

2. Looks like you need to register to download the skins.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wilbosb:
Can anyone confirm whether Greatbal's fantastic Diamond skin will work with version 2.0 of Mobile Shell - or - whether it could be converted to work on it - or - whether it simply isn't possible (for varying reasons)

thanks in advance and sorry if someone has asked this question already.

Dude layout G is the bomb...

good job enjoy your sleep.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
AFAIK, this theme is not compatible with MS2.0, and would give a result similar to your screenshot. Please confirm your version of MS. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
slight modification on the operator class (and possibly the status class, I'm not sure) would render this theme compatible to MS2.0.

kick arse!

hey dude outstanding effort. everyone else outstanding effort. i have been glued to this thread. however i still have a few questions that i havent found answers to.

1 i am/was an htc home user for a long time. i am trying to move over completely to 'the shell'. however there are a couple things i still like about htc that i havent been able to figure out in the shell. i am looking for a way to display notifications for task reminder and calendar reminders. how difficult would it be to add another icon or two with the other 3 on the bottom of the shell for this functionality? i realize that htc home doesnt inherently have this functionality either however the today plugin only takes up half the screen so i can add the Tasks and Calendar displays to the today screen menu.

2 i use the little task manager app that, wen using htc home, still displays in the top banner bar. obviously this doesnt come thru the shell's top banner bar. anyway to ADD the ability to add/ remove items from being displayed in the shells top banner?

3 i am still having transparent icon issues with some apps but i think a complete fresh install will fix that.

4 how would i go about changing the apps the shortcuts point to for contacts and sms ? i dont like the spbcontact for contact lookup and i would prefer to use pocketcm for sms (even for contact lookup really, 2 brids/1 stone and all).

so for now i am running htc home on the today screen with Tasks and Calendar added from the today menu. i disabled the spbwatcher app in order to have it displayed. i have both the bottom soft and hard keys pointing to my apps on the left and the shell menu on the right. so i am really using both apps and all is well. however i wuld obviously like to have only one running but the shell doesnt completely solve my needs. unless i am missing something which is also very possible. maybe no one else uses the Tasks but i drink too much and cant remember anything so put reminders in the phone all the time!

anyway again this shell is awesome and thank everyone for their hard work.

on a side note, because this thread is extremely active with smart people, lemme ask... how the heck do i load *.reg files?? i use total commander and phm regedit. i try just doubleclicking on it but it just opens the apps but doesnt load the file. i have looked and looked but cannot find any import option! sorry to be such a noob.

thanks

Reg Setting Change??

I've been using RoboDad's Point UI since it came out and it's really only the second skin I've ever used/installed. I'd like to try one of Greatbal's Diamond skins, but I'd hate to lose all the registry changes I have made. Would copying the dat files to the proper folder and rebooting change any reg settings? I would think not, but I just want to make sure.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kulet78:
my6.1

As the title says, here's how I see it if wm6.1 and ms2.1 were to be merged. Nothing too fancy here, again just trying out something different -ish.

Notes:

- This theme uses the same registry tweak as my "myUI" theme.

- Top and Bottom bar are included in ALL pages/tabs of the theme, so no matter where you are, you'll see them.

- Gesture cycles when reached either last or first tab so: Last Tab + Gesture Right = First Tab (vice versa).

- Landscape orientation's right side bar has been removed.

- Today theme, S2U2 and landscape support.

White Diamond Clock

This is another attempt at making the White Clock look a bit better

than the bold and fairly crude looking one i posted yesterday.

One thing that can't be done with the rounded corners is have 2 seperate

backgrounds for the digits, it's got to have 4 for obvious reasons.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dirtred:
i think you have to make the backround with white and only change the actual numbers.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OnceAMatrixMan:
Kulet78 I've tried with your other theme, but couldn't get it to work there either... How can I merge the two reg files supplied with your theme with the main registry?? I've tried with both Total Commander and with PHM RegEdit. I can't import, and double clicking within the device just brings up the main registry. I know it's simple, but I missed it somewhere.

Edit: Actually I just noticed that the theme does not support Phone Suite, so while I will not be using I'd still like to know how to merge reg files. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kulet78:
sorry but i don't use either of those apps, i use resco exlporer with registry add-in. this works for me, i just transfer the reg files into my device and click it.

bmp masking

Well this is probably in the wrong thread and has already been answered but with over 300 pages on mobile shell (2.0 & 2.1) themes, and customization I can't find the answer.

How does one go about making the masks so that you can customize the icons for signal strength, vm/sms/missed call/email alert icons, and the menu icons. I can create my own icons, I just can not get the masks right so that they display. I usually end up with just nothing there.

My apologies if this is in the wrong place/answered already.

calendar appointments suggestions

is there a way to make a colored number when there is an appointment. right now, it makes it bold. its really hard to see. now if one of you smart people can make it another color or maybe how the stock calender does it, that would be so excellent. just a thought...dont know if thats possible.

you guys are awesome. the diamond theme is sick. salamat!

it's possible. edit qa_calendar.dat to your liking.

Greatbal...

Amazing work! I love it.

I do have one request. Would a version Programs tab with colored icons be possible. I look at the MRU page with the colored icons and it is beuatiful with the contrast between the colored icons and the black background. However all the icons on the programs tab just seem kinda bland. All the other pages have a splash of color.

I am not sure how it works but a colored programs page posted separatly that could be used by those that want it would be great. If you would have to customize each layout individually then I use layout H... just in case you need a place to start. And if you want to post the black and white icons I will color them in for you.

no one has a diamond theme with calendar on Now screen?

all these themes are nice and all but lots of wasted space.. huge clock and no calendar or other useful info. maybe someone should try to make clock a little smaller and use some of that extra space for more useful things to add.. lol all these themes are all based on diamond.. anyone working on something unique? by the time diamond phone come out everyone is going to be tired looking at the same theme.

i have to find a copy of photoshop so i can make something for myself.

there are lots of themes here that would suit your needs. try Dredd's, robodad's, azzambm's and kulet's. they made really cool themes which I used before trying out creating a theme myself.

Hi Greatbal,

Quick question, that if you could answer would save me a lot of time. I am trying to fix the selection 'shadows' that I mentioned a while back and have managed to fix it for the launcher screen. I was just wondering which file the layout data is in for the mail/sms/missed call indicators is (and also the big weather images).

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] y1mrn:
Here is a 'before and after' screenshot showing the fix for the launcher page.

If anyone knows the answer to my question in the above post, please let me know. I've had a quick look through all the files in the qa_layouts but can't find the relevant bit and have also tried to search through the existing ms development thread, but no luck.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jason Syn:

Hey thanks for putting effort in improving this theme. I appreciate the help. :)

1) SMS etc. = qa_status.dat and qa_status1.dat

2) Weather = qa_weather_big.dat

Again, thanks! :)
