Phonatic,

After trying mulitple themes (diamond, gsmart, etc.), I keep coming back to this one (post #4275). I have found it to be the best fit for the way I use my i760. Nice, small and fast with quick access to the programs I need to access to the most.

I did however dislike the digital clock layout so hopefully you won't mind but I modified that in my own layout and thought I would pass that back up for your and others consideration. If anyone cares, I am attaching a link to the modified clock files for my current theme in the screen shot below.

Also, the 9 launcher layout.dat file you uploaded had an error on my system related to the time.xml file such that if I touched the clock area, no time/calendar tab would show and the system would lockup. I fixed that by replacing the time.xml file in the layout.dat file and have uploaded that as well.

Again, thanks for your efforts.

The new future release (2.7) will introduce a new layer with 3 clock pages, the 3rd page show a bigger analog clock; see the picture
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Tilt ommarow:
I also like Phonatics theme. Very functionaly for the way I use my phone.

When you say that your system locked up, did it say system error and look like the matrix?

Mine did the same thing. Then I figured out that it wasn't an error at all.

It's what shows up when you have no weather update.

I guess it's supposed to be funny.

He had replaced the time page with a full city weather page.

When theirs a forecast it shows weather. If you press the screen it takes you to detail weather. Swipe left to right takes you back to now screen.

On post #4341 he uploaded a layout that has the time page, instead of the full page weather forecast.

Can either you or Phonatic please upload the layout on post# 4275 with the 9 launcher page? TIA
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] odub:
Tilt,

The error I mentioned was simply that after I installed the original 9 launcher layout, when I touched the clock area, instead of a populated calendar page, I got a blank screen with no way of navigating out of it. I resolved this by replacing that specific tab in the qa_layout.dat file (time.xml).

If you look at the bottom of my post you should see a link to the qa_layout.zip file, rename it to .dat and drop it into your spb mobileshell directory. You will then have the 9 launcher page. I tested this with no city selection, and did not see the "matrix" effect you described.

Phonatic,

Any chance of getting a 4x4 contacts page which keeps the same pinned MRUs at the bottom as on the other tabs?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Tilt ommarow:
Ok, all I really needed to mention was that the full weather page works on my tilt.

For the Landscape, I was wanting 9 launcher icons and 6 mrus.

Like the portrait mode. If you or Phonatic will do that,

it would be perferct for me. Please and TIA

Release 2.7 - Is OUT

These are the news respect to the previous version:

- added 3 new button series: HTC white / HTC purple and Nokia Express; optimized the Folders one.

- added 2 new themes: Luna-Arena and Luna-TM White.

- added more layout options: 1 clock without calendar and 3 clock pages (the third page show the zoomed analog clock)

- added the "Manila" coloured analog clock family.

- introduced the second level selection for the customization options (for example to set the color)

[Thanks to Greatbal for Manila clocks / golfoyrodolfo for the Arena background image]

Add MRU to Now (lock) screen

I am trying to add some most recently used (MRU) icons to my Now (aka LockScreen.xml) Since I use GoodLink to access corporate mail the calendar is not of much use to me so I wanted to replace it with some shortcut buttons.

The result is no calendar but no Icons either. I added the Spb.LSP.Generic plugins with ID=0,1,2, etc. to the detailed layout and then in the 240x320 layout I added positional indicators for all of the buttons. If someone could have a look and nudge me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

(I am running WM6 on an ATT tilt with the stock ROM)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MikiBest:
The Wireless icon is the "3 indicator led" image.

Please read the FAQ:

http://www.imarche.net/omnia/faq.php
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Phonatic:
I haven't looked at your lockscreen.xml yet. But, did you edit your main.xml.

You need to do that before any mrus show up. If you did, then I'll look at your lockscreen.xml.

If not, I can instruct you on how to do it if you'de like.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Phonatic:
Of course I don't mind. Thanks for providing another clock option. I know some people like the flip clock.

Sorry the full weather page didn't work for you. I had posted one with the Time/Calendar page also.

@ Tilt, I know you are capable of doing the layout yourself, I don't have much time. Please do it If you want and post for others.

Check you P.M.:)

Tab Icons request

Can someone with photoshop, please do up these changes for me.

I have a seven page layout for the Phusion setup made by Phonatic.

The tabs that I am using work, I just need tabs to match up.

The red arrows point to what I need changed.

The .bmp files are in the folder. TIA

Is it me or are their fewer people helping out these days?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Tilt ommarow:
double posted again. I don't know what's going on?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Phonatic:
I'd be willing to help, but I don't have photoshop. By the way I just realized that I never posted this.

I thought I posted it before I sent it to you last week.

For anyone interested. This is a layout created using a background from 420Mac.

He calls it Fusion. I found the background then decided to build the layout around it.

I know it’s kind of odd to decide on the background first. Anyway, I call this setup Phusion.

This has Now, Calendar, Launcher, Weather, 1 Contact Page.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CerebusTA:
I didn't realize main.xml needed to be edited too. I poked around a bit and found what I needed. Thanks!

(My changes are attached if anyone else is interested. Next I'll have to update my landscape layout.)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CerebusTA:
I'm still new to this so I'm not sure what you are asking for. Does this require Photoshop specifically or would gimp (gimp.org) work?

(The first image file seemed corrupted somehow but Gimp opened it and after saving it seemed fine...)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AF241:
Here you go. Happy now! :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Tilt ommarow:
Now that's the kind of help that I'm talkin about. That's exactly what I asked for. Thanks, It makes me very happy.:)

That's what makes this community great. People like you, that help others.

Seeing how quickly and nicely you completed the request, I might as well make another one.

If you get the chance, can you use your talent to make the whole set even prettier and so that it matches this theme?

If not, that's fine because this one works. Thanks for taking the time to help. I Very much appreciate it.

Thank's to you AF241 I can now share this layout. This is Phonatic's Phusion Theme with 8 tabs (seven tabbed pages).

Now, Launcher, Mru, Tab, Calendar, Weather, and 2 Contact pages.

The fourth tab brings up the upper 4 tabs.

Pressing the time on the Now screen, weather and calendar pages takes you to the full calendar page.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AF241:
happy to see you happy :). Can you explain the bottom 4 icons, what they are for and maybe I can make something bit more matching.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JstarLuvsTina:
why do i keep gettin the error msg "mortscript cannot find spb ms v. 2.1.2" everytime i try to run the scripts?

ive got it installed..

or am i missing something?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Tilt ommarow:
Thanks for taking interest. The lower tabs are Now screen, Launcher, Mru, and the icon that brings up the last viewed upper page.

It is a contacts icon because all four upper icons used to be contact pages.

Maybe you can make that icon symbolize "more" or "plus". Maybe a fancy plus symbol, up arrow or something of that nature.

The two upper right icons are both contact pages. I don't know what I was thinking, asking for a phone icon?

I think that it would look better if all 8 icons matched as opposed to how they were initially designed.

If you can color them so that they really stand out, that would be even better. Because I'm not using tabs.

I will look to use whichever launcher icon set looks best with what you come up with. Unless of course you go all out and make matching launcher buttons.;)

Whatever you decide to do, I will greatly appreciate.

And thanks again for the help that you've already given me.:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AF241:
Hope I got it right. Wasn't exactly sure.

I made 4 new icons for the bottom row and 2 new contacts icon for the top right. Also changed the colour of the top row icons to green so it's more visible on the blue-ish bottom of the wallpaper.

Enjoy...

PS. I don't use SPB Mobile Shell so couldn't test the icons so if there is any problem don't hesitate to let me know and I'll try n get it right.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Tilt ommarow:
Wow, you're quick. Sounds good. Did you upload? I don't see anything attached to your post.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AF241:
Ooops.Don't know what happened before. I have edited the post and uploaded again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Tilt ommarow:
Nice job. After installing, here is some feedback.

The upper third and fourth icons are a little hard to see. I think blue for those two icons might stand out better.

In portrait: the lower third icon looks to be lower than the others by one pixel.

The upper third and fouth icons aren't lined up. I marked them in red on the screen shots.

Alignment is good in landscape. Great job for not even having Spb on your phone. Thank you.

Please try now.

I have been trying to get this clock (attached is jpg, the original file is 8-bit BMP but couldnt upload it as the size is 21.5kb and the forum limit is 19.5kb) to get inserted into qa_clock_now.dat

But it does not seem to work, the clock looks horrible..

Reading from this site http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=378367 it says I need to save the file is a 16-bit R5 G6 B5 (?) BMP file.. I have no idea how to do this. Could this be why I couldnt get the clock to display? All that is displayed is a black and grey outline.

I can add other images from this thread to display but I cant get my own or the ones I modified myself. I tried using MS Paint and Irfanview, but they only let you save as 24-bit, 8-bit and 4-bit.. no 16-bit option.

The clock above I got from Greatbal's GSmart theme, but I want to resize it to the size attached so I can use it on Phonatic's theme

Anyone has any ideas how I can insert my own images into the .dat files?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] masChmagic:
I think you just copy the .dat files into your \Program Files\SPB Mobile Shell\ folder

To be safe, backup all the .dat files you will be replacing in another directory first..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Tilt ommarow:
I just got home. First thing that I did was to check to see if you updated the icons.

What a great job you did. Alignment is perfect and the icons are so clean looking.

Great fix on the contact icons. You managed to keep them green, but more visible. Thank you so much.

I will post the layout so others can have the option to use your terrific icons.

For anyone, that is using the layout that I posted for Phonatics Phusion Theme, here it is with the new and improved page icons made by AF241.

They look so much better for this theme.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] odub:
Photoshop alternative for icons and images

Gimp doesn't really work because you have to be able to generate 16bit bmp files which GIMP doesn't support.

In the little bit of modding I have tried, I used Gimp to make the images and then used another package called AHA-view to convert those to the right format (http://www.aha-soft.com/ahaview/index.htm). AHA-view is $20 but the 30 day trial is fully functional and very simple in that you select the input file, define the output format, and it converts it in place. I couldn't find anything else which could do the 16bit bmp format.

Small issues?

I'm running Greatbal's Omnia theme on a ETEN M700, with wm6.1. The issue I have is with the mapping of the softkeys? When I use them to scroll through the tabs they quite often dump me back to the Today screen or partially display the top task bar from the Today page. I thought it was cause I had switched around the tabs to my liking and maybe screwed up the Main.xml file, but it doesn't matter what theme I try I get the same thing. Even after clean installs of everything.

I actually tried to read this whole thread last night and the night before, and maybe I fell asleep at the mouse but I didn't come across anyone else with this issue. I see that over on the spb forums that the previous version (2.1.1) had some issues with the soft keys but supposedly they fixed it with 2.1.2.

Tabs scroll perfectly with gestures, but sometimes soft keys are faster... right up until I get dumped into the today screen...

Anyone have any thoughts, or request more info you need it. Please help me solve this. It's really annoying!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CerebusTA:
You should try the latest version of Gimp because the version I have supports this. If you create a new image (or edit an existing one) and try to save as bmp you will get a dialog that has an advanced options menu item that can be expanded. Under that menu item are options for 16 bit (including the R5 G6 B5 option needed for mobile shell) 24 bit and 32 bit.

I used Gimp to modify my icon set - replacing the default IE icon with a globe from the calm theme and adding a gaming icon from the same theme. I had to modify the icons and the mask and was able to do both with Gimp.

I hope that helps!

I assumed these had the same file format as the icons (i.e. 16-bit bmp R5 G6 B5) I didn't change the base names as I wasn't sure what files you were trying to replace. (backgrounds in *_bkg_now have a different aspect ratio.)

Let me know if the attachment works for you. (This was done in the freely available gimp by the way.)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] keithdupont:
Thank you very much
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] masChmagic:
This is what I was talking about.. using work from Greatbal, Jadesdan, Phonatic, Gazazza and LdoStang

As you can see, the clock wont appear. only the hands of the clock does. I think its because it needs to be saved 16 bit bmp and I have no idea how to do that.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CerebusTA:
I have had some luck with gimp. (www.gimp.org)

Open your file and do a "save as..."

Save it as a bmp

After you select save, a dialog will come up and the advanced section can be expanded. Here 16-bit R5 G6 B5 can be selected

This should be the right format to save in.

(You need to use one of the newer versions of Gimp because the old ones don't have this option. You can download 2.6 from the website)
