[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] theparanoid:
This is accutly just the first item in your mru list.

If you go to mobile shell settings under the today tab and uncheck backlight indicator in the home tab you get the first item on your mru list. So if you pin something there it always be there. Other wise the first thing on your mru list appears here.

In my case I pin the phone here. Which makes this the best theme for me.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PPCBANDIT:
The weather degrees are not the correct ones!!

I wanted to see what weather info I would get if installing SPB weather. Thats when I realized, that there probably is something wrong with the coding of the program.

If I use the integrated weather I get:

night 14 C

morning 18 C

day 17 C

evening 10 C

and if I use SPB weather I get:

night 12 C

morning 14 C

day 18 C

evening 17 C

I think the correct one, is the SPB Weather. The integrated weather is not matched with the prober names. In my case, the morning should be morning should be 14 C (and not 18), day 18 C (and not 17), evening 17 C (and not 10) and night 10 C (and not 14).

I have attached both layouts. The one that says Copenhagen is the integrated, and the one that says København is SPB Weather.

I tested the original SPB Shell layout, to see if the problem was in the skinning - but the difference was the same.

Could somebody see, if they get the same differences? Anybody knows how to change it?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] smittyofdhs:
you are correct...

the weather built into MS2.1 sucks and is pretty much always wrong. SPB Weather is the best choice to get it to work. It's bogus that SPB doesn't allow the use of custom weather sources in MS2.1, but it is what it is.

For me, I couldn't use the default weather source in SPB weather either. I had to find a weather.com template that someone had made. SPN Weather always require a different template at least for me. Most other weather today plugins allow USA users to setup a city via a zip code, these templates require the city code which isn't always easy to obtain. SPB should make some changes to the weather in MS2.2 or whatever comes out next.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] smittyofdhs:
PCBANDIT, do you have more screenshots of that SPB MS2.1 skin that you just posted above? Do you have the cab/zip file or a link for it?

Hey all,

can anyone tell me how to swap the Weather and Contacts pages in Greatbal's Diamond theme (in layout C)?

If you use a shortcut from the Today screen one of the softkeys to call up the "Speed Dial Panel" (contacts page), it always takes you to the Weather screen instead. I need the Dial panel every day and this just bugs me...

Help is greatly appreciated. Maybe someone could even construe the proper files?

Many thanks,

N.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheWizzard2203:
Hehe, no that's not what he meant. He means if it is possible to skin the comm manager in the form of the diamond skin. But that's not done so far, but could be possible. Guru's?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dinoalbert:
ahmed, I like the simplicity!

but if possible, can you or anyone please also make the icon for the Volume and Weather in the Programs tab...with a black square, just like the other 6 icons? So that they will all look the same and uniform. Im sorry I dont know photoshop so I dont know how to do it.

thanks again :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] smittyofdhs:
Re-read his post, his exact words are "Is it possible to include comm manager in MS2.1"

I didn't see anywhere in his post "skin the comm manager in the form of the diamond skin"

For the one asking the question, please clarify.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kal-El:
Great and clean design!!!

The notification icons are really nice.

I would put the icons in the taskbar in the default position of Spb Mobile Shell with the addition of the hour to the center (not in the Now Screen, where there is already the clock).

I would eliminate the alarm row from the Now Screen and would visualize it in the Calendar Tab; besides in the grey line (where there is the title "Home") would introduce the name of the Operator on the left and the date to the right (like in the HTC Home Plugin).

Just my personal consideration...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ch@rly:
In the skin 'Diamond', we must change what file to bring the icons of notifications (Status) from each other ?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wongh_hk:

is it possible to have extra information (appointments) under the clock in the now screen with the diamond skin???
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pcarvalho:

thanks for your input...

yes its possible... but since i have a page just for that, will probably not make it so... only if many ask for it... cause i'm now changing the notifications layout and will not have much space left...

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jeffrey2000:
It's just the name of the "default theme" so the default version of:

- HTC Diamond (black/white buttons):

- T-Mobile MDA (compact) Vario IV (pink/white buttons):

- O2 XDA Diamond with the (blue/white buttons):
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dinoalbert:
thanks for the info. I maybe wrong but I see theres not much difference.

the reason for my asking is that I am using greatballs SPB MS Diamond Theme, then I saw your post for a HTC Vanilla version of the clock. So I was wondering, if there will be a difference if I replace Diamond clock with your Vanilla clock? Except that the clock is white..but I guess there's also a white clock version of the Diamond theme.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jeffrey2000:
The original HTC Diamond clock is white but for some reason it's just was not possible in SPB Mobbile Shell (at least nobody really knew how to do it) to make the clock white that's why people (like greatball) :)) just made the clock black instead (the problem was just a simple black/white mask). But after all the black clock just didn't look so bad at all and fitted just perfectly comparing to the original design so was just a good decision to realease it like that. (great work/solution greatball!) Later other solutions came like 420mac's first (squared) white clock but no rounded corners and later his smaller rounded corner version but... with 2 seperate rounded digits (which was another good solution!).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
thanks. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
thanks. Good job on the white digiclock. :)

before releasing the original version of the Diamond theme, i asked for help in coming up with the white digi clock on this thread. apparently no one at that time knows how. Hence, I used the original black digi clock from the Manila Theme. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
Good job on the white digi clock. :)

As per your PM, I've tried making a black AM/PM indicator similar to the original Diamond clock, no luck yet. :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
love it! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jeffrey2000:
Greatball... did you find this background already, a white clock and this background (just for the lockscreen) would make a newer version just perfect!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Pandemonium:
Ok.

I asked it because in touchflo Manila interface on htc diamon, this feature is present. I can see appointment in home screen under the clock.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
you can use the Profile icon (voume icon) on the top bar to switch from Normal>Silent>Vibrate. just click on the icon.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
You mean the tab icons? I tried making a layout with the tab icons at the bottom for landscape devices, but the screen looks crowded because of the page labels. One solution would be to resize everything. It may take a lot of work.

Thanks for the quick reply. I was trying that with my finger and nothing was happening. It only works easily with the stylus. I still think is would be worthwhile to have on the now screen, but at least it's easy enough to get to.

EDIT: Just noticed layout F already has that.

EDIT: The touch area for the profile icon is a very small square at the lower right part of the icon.

Can someone please advise if this Diamond Theme has the Voicemail icon available?

I've done a search but only fixes for other themes appear.

Mine doesn't appear when I have a VM and I only see one of two reasons:

1. Either the Layout H Diamond Theme does not have the VM icon.

2. My VM arrives as a SMS msg... PhoneAlarm converts this SMS to a WM voicemail message (I see the little tape icon in the Windows main screen)... Mobile Shell does not pick up on this???

Thanks.
