[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gagaza:
I had made the request on page 16 of Greatbal's thread, I used this as the title "Greatbal, 420Mac, BeyondInvisible or anyone capable". I didn't know who would take interest. I had even attached a mock-up screenshot.

You had just introduced your icons. I didn't ask in your thread for fear that you would think that I didn't appreciate the great lookings ones that you had just posted.:) What a wonderful coincidence for me, that you made them. I love the twists that you added.

is there any way to replace speed dial page with spb contacts??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluemetalaxe:
I remember there was

one guy

that wanted this menue button :mad:

so please dont hear on one .... i think the most of us are happy if they dont see anything of the original taskbar or oldschool windows mobile anymore.

anyway really great skin, english version please, and some explanation (you wrote something about setvolume etc.?) because i dont speak french. thanks !

Another question, is it possible to make a icons set for the

applications

, because there is a build in with ugly xp icons, can you replace them with your greyscale/white ones ?

OR with my colored diamond icon set: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=400490
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mtkates:
Do you want it with the original from greatbal's ver1.2 theme? Or maybe the big ones or Samarai? I'm not sure which ones you are refering to. Maybe you could link me to which ones or show a pic.

can anyone mod the original greatbal layout c to have no weather tab?i just don't need that at all.the weather in mobile shell never seems to be correct here.so i use sbsh on my today screen.thanx in advance

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dangerpaki:
@y1mrn

dude i love that skin that you edited. it is awesome.

but any chance of integrating the big blue icon (from SPB phone suite, the one that allows you to turn wifi on/off, flightmode etc and all that stuff) somewhere in the diamond skin???PLEASE?!?!

because at the moment there is no simpel way in the diamond skin to turn on wifi and turn on flight mode and bluetooth. would be awesome to have that icon incorporated

would be very thankfull for that
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ToddeSwe:
re

I tried this, but when booting the device it just pops up a window telling me that it has problems with some launcher and then the phone is unusable.

Fixed it by taping my Spb Menu fast as hell to get into the Spb Mobile Shell.

Is there a way around this behavior?

Diamond Fire Theme

Here is my current theme, who likes it can download it.

Its based on Greatbals Layout A (full)

Some Graphics are revised,

greets Agamemmnon
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cedzen:
Another Diamond theme!

(Translated from french to english, even if screenshots are french ones)

This is my small contribution to greatbal fantastic job, I just modified his theme to my taste and use.

I'm especially very happy with the weather tab icon!

- QVGA and portrait ONLY

- calendar access by L or R slide from Home page

- 2 Contacts pages, change by L or R slide

- Updated weather icon which refers to a complete weather page (that I am very proud of (bis):rolleyes:)

- Windows icon in the upper left to returns to Today (it is not very useful but it's like on the real Diamond ...) (some don't like it, he can remove it himself I guess, or learn a little bit politeness...)

Only problem:

- Windows icon leaves little room for the operator name... but no choice

Bonus:

- The same but with a classic weather icon

- a .psd transparent separator2.bmp to make the backgrounds you want

- wallpaper for Today

- a theme for BatteryStatus, displays at the bottom of Today, with scripts that refer to pages Shortcuts and Weather

- a S2U2 theme

Installation:

run classic or weather cab

copy font to \Windows

OF COURSE SAVE ALL THE CONTENT OF SPB MOBILE SHELL DIRECTORY BEFORE INSTALLING !!!

PS: this is not perfect but i did my best, I 'm not a graphist, and photoshop often makes me want to throw the PC out the window! :)

PS2: a small tip if you do not like the title of a page: change through SpbMobileShell.txt: for example, to replace "Contacts 1" with "Family", add the line "Contacts 1|Family" (without quotation marks, eh!) and voilà!

AGAIN, A VERY BIG THANK YOU TO GREATBAL FOR HIS WORK!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vish4488:
Is it possible to upload the file on Rapidshare or some other site. The link you provided has some other language and I think it also asks for registration. And I dont want to register everywhere just for one or two files.

To everyone who (tried to) install my diamond theme!

I apologize I forgot some changes in launcher.xml:o

Now the Programs page should be ok

I also changed back the order of the prog page icons, so that no black icon appears!

Here is a screenshot of available icons if you want to customize, knowing that first icon has index 0; 2nd icon index 1 ,etc...

What do I do wrong?

Is the resolution of the screen the problem?

you got 2 solutions:

1- open qa_misc_now.dat and remplace the icon in icons24_qVGA.bmp

and its mask

or 2- open qa_layouts.dat and remove this

<Plugin Class="Spb.LSP.Tab" Name="Exit"/>

and this

<Plugin Name="Exit">
<BoundRect X="0" Y="0" Width="50" Height="50"/>
</Plugin>

in every xml file where you find them!

Hi,

I have downloaded the zip file, have replaced file in spb shell 2.1 but I don't see nothing, I say I don't see like htc skin but again the old spb
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mtkates:
This theme is based off of greatbal's Diamond theme and therefore will only work on QVGA 240x320 screens. If your screen is 240x240 or VGA, it will not work, sorry. I made this for my Sprint Touch without ever planning to release it here, but I thought it turned out well enough and was different enough that maybe others might like it too.

I am currently working on a VGA 480x640 version of one of greatbal's layouts. If it works, I may do the same to Windows Field theme. If you have a square screen, maybe you could talk one of the people here who have converted other themes into doing it to this one.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Synergie:
I know this might be a silly question.... but did you soft reset your device after you replaced the files?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Brenn:
Most of these themes do not work for our 240.240 screens. You need to be sure you download and run one specifically for square screens. There is a separate thread where you'll find several and on this thread do a search for user name Jopiej as he has converted the diamond theme for square screens. Good luck!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cstewart:
MTKATES,

Nice work on the addtion to Greatbal's theme. I like the appointments back on the Now screen and the large contacts. The background is attractive, but my preference is for a darker less busy background so that all screen information really pops and is easy to see, expecially in high illumination environments. Is there a simple way to take what you have done and add an alternate back ground, for example black background that Greatbal uses?

hi cedzen. thanks. Program tab is working flawless. But tools menu has one blank spot. is that intended. see the picture for details. thanks in advance

Changing Background

It's pretty easy to change the background once you are used to doing it. There is a tutorial thread on this site. I was thinking about making a few more backgrounds available. If you have an image in mind, you can post it and I'll see what I can do. I've been pretty busy lately with other projects.

Menu Button request

I know that their are lot's of people in this thread that are capable of making menu buttons. Will one of you please make a set that has a S2U2 icon in place of the my menu icon.

kockroach found a way to replace a launcher button to launch S2U2. It sure would be nice to have a menu button for it. I personally would prefer the Greatbal Colored Diamond menu buttons, but would gladly settle for whatever set that you are willing to alter.

I wish I had photoshop. But since I don't, I figured that the next best thing is to make a request to you talented people. Thanks in advance.

OK, here it is. My long-requested PointUI Blue theme:

The same rules apply for this theme as for the black version of the theme. theme. The graphics are in one ZIP file, and the layouts are now split among [b[FOURTEEN[/b] options.

Note: The layout files from the black version are NOT compatible with this version. You must download a new layout file to go with the new theme.

To choose a layout, first decide whether you want to have the calendar on its own tab, or on the Time sub-page:

Next, decide whether you want a standard (shown above) or an extended calendar:

And finally, decide whether you want an MRU tab and/or a close button (some layouts only offer one or the other, not both).

Once you know what you want, copy the graphics files and the appropriate layout file to your device and do a soft reset.

All layouts include the Now tab, the Launcher tab, and the Speed Dial tab, as well as Contact and Weather sub-pages. Portrait and landscape modes fully supported. QVGA devices only.

The base file is attached to this post, and the layout files will follow in subsequent posts.
