I'll work on that next...

Here is the files to fix the current mod I finished for the greatbal Diamond HTC 2.1 theme.

The qa_layouts has the Now, Calendar, Launcher and Weather pages.... with the fixed tab backgrounds :):).. (THANKS greatbal!!!!)

The qp_dclock_modern.dat just changes the banner date font to match the other banner fonts. (Kinda AR but.. oh well.) :)

Let me know what ya all think!!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] The_Tech_Ninja:
Yes it over wrote the files.

I even erased the files, and put the new ones in there...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
I'm trying to improve on the Weather Icons. Got hold of the Manila weather psd files. I know the icons i used are a little bit fuzzy because it's just a resized version of the smaller htc home weather icons. From the psd files I could make the icons a little bit bigger and sharper, and definitely nicer hehe. (see sample image)

I'm also trying to replicate as much of the info on the weather page of HTC Diamond. I noticed that there's a weather description at the bottom. I would also like to have those descriptions on the theme's weather page. There are 17 icons on the weather bmp. Would anybody give me a valid weather description for each icon? (such as "Mostly Sunny" or "Rain with thunder storm", just an example. hehe). Please see original HTC Diamond sreenshot:

This is just a thought if anyone else thinks this is nice idea.

Thanks! :)

Just loaded Greatbal's Diamond skin. It is too cool. Way to go.

any idea when the files will be updated for this diamond skin - im just impatient!

Diamond Theme Modified

For those that reqested this version.

Greatbal The new weather images look quality.

I've already tried to increase the size of some weather images to 170 on the main weather screen but with no luck,

it splits them apart or they don't get placed in the center, any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:
that was quick! Just adding them to my phone now
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
please edit MainWeather.xml to increase the bounding area of the icon to 170 also and see if this solves it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DarkWader:
Nice mod, fits me perfectly !

But, you removed one important "diamond" element from it. imo..

The bigger black selection gfx on the bottom bar, as it is now there is no indication for what page you are in - other than the content ofc.. ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 420Mac:
Ok Greatbal i'll give that a go later if i get time, i dumped the icon set i made because i couldn't get them to display in the way i wanted them.

Thanks for your reply.

If you look closely you will see that whatever page your on the icon is slighty brighter than the other icons.

It's just my own preference, although it's easy enough to change it back, just replace MyTab and the mask.

If your not sure how give me a shout and i'll put it back in for you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greatbal:
I can't believe I missed this post. YEs, my original plan was to disable gesturing on certain pages. But after several trials, I've opted it to be this way for the meantime. Any suggestions on how to disable gesturing?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DarkWader:
I can see that yes - but I prefer the large one.

Please do :)

Diamond theme weather icons?

Hi.

Can you try including in your theme the weather icons from Diamond theme? I already tried, with mixed results (well, a mix between awful and disgusting :( ).

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 420Mac:
djkamii

Just unzip the file and copy the all the contents to \Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell folder and overwrite all the files.

But you need to have the original HTC Diamond Theme installed first!

These are only modified .dat files, it's not the full Theme!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kulet78:
galing galing naman ni greatbal!, pero tol sali ko ha... ;)

Ok after really admiring what greatbal has created and started, and me customizing everything for my own use, I came with this "myUI". If you guys haven't noticed, I really like using colors with my themes and this is no difference starting with the background.

Note: This theme includes modifying the registry which is included in the download so

please please please backup your registry first

before trying this. That's the reason behind the very large menu icon. Basically I grouped 6 menu icons into 1 main menu, and included tools menu under settings (see smaller screenshots). Oh yeah, you have to set up your customize menu and only select application (move before settings) after modifying the registry. Also, contact pages only has 8 items now, this way pictures are bigger and no need to meet new people to fill up 3 pages of contacts.

So the tab orders goes: Home, Applications, Control Panel, Weather, 3 pages of contacts.

Also, I"m using Yahoo Icons for the weather main tab. And other small things like new clock, digits, and others I forgot.

As usual, today theme, s2u2 and landscape support.

Screenshot

Ok for some reason I can't upload here @ xda so here's some download link...

Weather discriptions

GREATBALL I LUUUUV THE THEME ! but you must have had so many compliments about this you that youre **** has grown inches and have great balls.

For the weather discriptions: i used a program SBSH weather panel wich uses same discriptions, like mostly sunny, partly cloudy, Haze etc. maybe u can use the discriptions from that program. Just install it and select some cities to get these discriptions. I love youre weather plan.

Many users now have make derivates of your theme. Some new ideas are nice but they are spread over different versions of the theme.

Maybe you can bundle these new initiatives and release a new Superior version.

Some ideas of my own, if possible.

- show empty days in calender.

- go to different mailbox than outlook from the indicator,

or at least to the account selection screen.

limit page turning to the tabs content.

Enlarge the profile selector, is more practical and solves the phonesuite issue.

possibility to change theme color.

Keep up the good work. You're the best

Robodad, your theme is awsome. But....i have an graphic bug. When i use your theme i cant see the speaker volume + the network name. See below, horrible paint job, but it's like this!

Maybe you can lower the icons of the battery and the network thingy? And maye loose the buttom? ;D Sorry for my horrible english!

My network name is btw 3G Vodafone NL
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] yqsun:
I prefer the 9th, it includes all the functions in prior version but less memory consumed.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fdroms:
I do you change the "Games" icon to the ico based on Pocket Informant?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Splitter:
RoboDad... I love the work.

Suggestion! Could you do the same with a dark blue ray?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] edkmho:
RoboDad,

I love you PointUI theme very much. I was wandering is it possible to add in Task in the calendar page.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RoboDad:
I understand your frustration, but moving the icons would defeat one of my objectives in designing the theme the way I did. What I would suggest is that you find one of the tools that lets you change the network (carrier) name to something shorter. I don;'t have any links for you, but I know I have read about that capability elsewhere on this forum. Maybe someone else could help out?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RoboDad:
Yeah, I'm torn myself between #9 and #6 right now. #9 uses slightly less memory, but #6 shows more calendar info. But I agree, those are (IMO) the best combinations.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RoboDad:
I wish I could, but with what we currently have to work with it isn't possible. I hope that Spb adds that ability in a future release, or else publishes an API that I and others could use to develop our own plug-ins, but right now I've done all I can.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RoboDad:
It's all in the registry. Under the key for the ninth menu (mine is called "Games"), change the value for the Image key from 8 to 9:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RoboDad:
When I find some more time, I'm going to tackle that. I'm reluctant to go with the multiple background image model due to its high memory consumption, and I also don't know if I want to have to gesture through every contact tab at the same level as the others, but I'll figure something out soon.

As I always say, stay tuned... ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RoboDad:
I like blue. Sounds intriguing. Would you want a background similar to the blue ray theme, or would something like one of these be what you are hoping for? Or are there other suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Splitter:
OMGosh... this one is perfect!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CommZ:
Blue Ray is perfect, I would stick with it

BTW, I like your weather icons. Can I use them on my update please? :)

Tsaka tinatamad na ako mag-photoshop e. hehe :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] paulsg63:
All that needs done then is to edit main.xml in the qa_layouts.dat file.

You just replace the tab1 subform value "Home" with "LockScreen_Digital"

That will call only the digital clock.

Hope that helped.

Your themes just get even better. One thing I want to mention is when using the buttons or gestures it doesn't cycle though to the beginning when it reach the end of the 3rd contact page. In other words, it just keep flipping into itself (3rd contact page); the same goes when at the Home going left.

Kulet78,

loved the theme. I like the fact that you made the contacts into 3x3's. I was having trouble finding that many friends. LOL.

Any contact that I put there is shown on all 3 contact sheets.

yup noypi here, but what's fagevian?

sure, feel free to use my weather icons, i borrowed it myself from yahoo, hehe

thanks luiggi, i tend to try something new everytime i make a theme to see what we all can do with mobile shell and what other possibilities are out there

this is intentional because I wanted the user to know that he/she has reached the last or first tab, but for a shortcut or to quickly jump between tabs, just simply tap the lower bottom bars

that bottom right contact icon is left intentionally for mobile shell contact module, so no matter which contact page you are, you have access to all contacts not listed on any of the pages, this is not ment to have a contact shortcut, hope this answers your question

FIRST BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS MOD, you simply transfer the reg files in your device and tap/open it, it should automatically install it for you and that's it, if you need further help, pm me and I'll walk you through the whole install process

thanks, your good word is much appreciated!

Once you have made the registry tweak, you must go to customize menu settings and deselect everything but Application and make sure Application is above or before Settings, what the registry tweaks do is simply copy the other menus into one main menu (Application or Settings), what your seeing are your other menus.
