You're welcome. And please don't feel stupid. At least you trying new things and learning.:)

That's actually very easy to do. It even looks like they left room for another row. You can post the qa_layouts.dat and maybe someone here will have time. If you post and no one gets to it by next Thursday , I will make time for it then.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sharkonholiday:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] yannick:
thanks for your help Phonatic! here is the qa_layouts.dat file. I'm new to this stuff so hope you or somebody else can help out on this.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jadesdan:
Great work! Would it be hard to do the now screen weather background on your previous theme (byGazza)?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jadesdan:
One more thing (I know you are busy and I'm not complaining).

Your theme looks awsome with MikiBest's Faceted background (I love how the 'peak' starts in the corner and spreads out, you would think that this layout was designed around it) but the launcher page is still a solid color (whatever the theme or tsk color is). If your done with this theme then don't even think about doing it just for me, but If you ever do updates keep this in mind. Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OnceAMatrixMan:
Holy crap!!! Excellent work to all original designers and Phonatic for pulling it all together. I don't have a phone with a lot of memory so it probably will not work for me, but I'm gonna try it tomorrow!

Phonatic - Any plans for the other layout options?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Phonatic:
I don't know how to do it either. I am very sorry.

Super easy, can't remember which one or how it would look.

If you want to upload, I will edit. I have no time after today.

By the way it's Gagaza. He's why I know how to do this stuff.

If you upload for the weather mod I will fix it then. Has it always been that way? Hmm I didn't know that. Geez, so many themes, it's starting get confusing.

It doesn't require much memory, you might experience a tiny lag the first ime the now screen loads. After that smooth as normal. Plus you can always go without the now screen background.

I have the files ready to do all layouts. I will probably do each as requested.

There's a ton of different combination.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jadesdan:
Thanks Phonatic!!!!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Phonatic:
Here you go. You're edited qa_layouts.dat and the Bliss Alive weather files.

Stupid Question

I know you guys get tired of stupid people like me but i just need to know how to add the htc diamond theme to my xv6900...thank you!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mtkates:
Not at all. We LOVE stupid people. They make us feel smarter....Just kidding around.

To install the Diamond skin on your QVGA phone, first install SPB Mobile Shell, then go to the Diamond skin download post and look for the installation notes.

To sum it up, you install the .dat files that come with the skin into Program Files/SPB Mobile Shell and click "Yes" to overwrite. Soft reset your phone, then start Mobile Shell.

Hi

I managed to uninstall it. Basically you remove it from the today part, and then uninstall it

I will now check how I can modify SPB themese since its the first time I am trying to change it. Secondy I will see how I can run it at startup.

none of the themes I install works.... They're all screwed up. I have spb mobile 2.1.2 and I just overwrite the files in the program files with the theme ones. When I soft reset I have same theme with distorted icons and shell. What am I doing wrong. I even tried with

. That theme says spb mobile shell 2.1.2 specifically. Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong????!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mtkates:
Unfortunately, the site you have linked to does not give you the complete details of the skins. They fail to mention that the skin you are linking to is for QVGA screens only. While that is by far the most popular screen resolution, a lot of new phones coming out have VGA, WVGA, WQVGA, not to mention square screens, so as this, and many other Mobile Shell skins, are made specifically for QVGA, they will not work on any other screen resolution, which is probably why it is not working for you.

You could try my Windows Field skin. Follow the link in my signature. The link for VGA is in post #2. It is a work in progress but you can see how well it runs on your phone. I'm not familiar with that device, so if you have any questions, comments, bugs, etc, just leave a message in that thread.

Weird star-look-a-like symbol...!?

Hi there...

I am propably making a complete ass out of myself by asking this, but hey such is life once in a while :D

I have skinned my HTC Touch Dual with one of the diamond looking SPB 2.1 themes, and I am loving every second of it.

Only there is one thing that ruins the sensation for me a bit...

On the Now/Today screen, there is a star-like symbol next to my missed calls button. It doesn't really do anything, it's just there.

It's propably some add-on or something that is the cause of it being there, but which one and is there some way that I can get rid of it?

Thanks in advance, and keep up the good work with making these awesome skins!

- and please someone, use my danish translation so that all the danes out there can get danish UI's ;)

MRU's On Now Screen

I thought it was going to be easy, just copy other's work. I guess I'm wrong though...

I would like to add some MRU's to a Now Screen. So I added the following to launcher.xml:

<Plugin Class="Spb.LSP.Generic" Name="r0" ID="0"/>

<Plugin Class="Spb.LSP.Generic" Name="r1" ID="1"/>

etc...

And then I added to lockscreen.xml:

(after initial layout name)

<Plugin Class="Spb.LSP.Generic" Name="r0" ID="0" />

<Plugin Class="Spb.LSP.Generic" Name="r1" ID="1" />

etc...

And after specific layout name I added:

</Plugin>

<Plugin Name="r0">

<BoundRect X="10" Y="207" Width="40" Height="40" />

</Plugin>

<Plugin Name="r1">

<BoundRect X="35" Y="0" Width="32" Height="32" />

</Plugin>

etc...

</Plugin>

But I get absolutely no MRU's on my Now Screen. I guess I missed something. Any help would be much appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ldostang:
you need to also add this line to the main.xml

<String Name="Data" Value="Spb.Data.Launcher"/>

so for the lockscreen tab for instance it should read something like this:

<Plugin Class="Spb.LSP.Tab" Name="Tab1" ID="0">

<String Name="Form" Value="Subform"/>

<String Name="Dialog" Value="LockScreen"/>

<Int Name="IsDefault" Value="1"/>

<Int Name="Image" Value="0"/>

<String Name="Data" Value="Spb.Data.Launcher"/>

</Plugin>

Dont copy everything. just that line cause it can change other stuff in your layout.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OnceAMatrixMan:
As usual Ldostang you are right on the money! I'm hoping that you can help my last problem. The time/date rectangle on my now screen is huge! It covers all available real estate. I looked in lockscreen and the clock xmls but I don't see anything with that kind of height...

Thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ldostang:
that should be on the qp_dclock_modern.dat file. you have to make to face.bmp and face_m.bmp images smaller. the height is 121 on both. i also saw that he has a qp_dclock_modern2.dat file. you might have to do the same to both.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RoboDad:
Glad I could help. I'm actually thinking about designing a "compromise" layout, since it is pretty clear now that allowing too much room for the calendar is a bad thing.

If I can make it work, I'll post it.

Launcher Icon Re-order...?

OK I thought this was going to be easy.. Silly me. All I want to do is re-order the icons in the launcher page. I go to the Luancher.xml file, then to:

- <Plugin Name="MySeparator1" Skin="qp_bkg_now" DoubleSkin="vp_bkg_now">

<String Name="ImageName" Value="MySeparator" />

<BoundRect X="0" Y="18" Width="240" Height="2" />

</Plugin>

- <Plugin Name="m0">

<BoundRect X="0" Y="22" Width="79" Height="86" />

</Plugin>

- <Plugin Name="m1">

<BoundRect X="80" Y="22" Width="79" Height="86" />

</Plugin>

- <Plugin Name="m2">

<BoundRect X="160" Y="22" Width="80" Height="86" />

</Plugin>...

I changed plugin name = "m2" to say "m5", etc. The Icons move, but in seemingly unpredictable ways. So I'm obviously missing something. Did a search of course here and in the beginner threads and came up empty. If this was addressed already my apologies.

I get the X,Y coordinates - but I don't understand why changing the plugin order is not working for me... Thanks all!

EDIT: I was making something so easy way too difficult. You just have to set the index value to 0 through 8 for each one of the menu/root keys. So simple.

Calndar to Tasks

Hello,

Is it possible to replace the Calendar plug-in with Tasks, so the second screen will show active tasks instead of Calendar appointments?

I wouldn't mind seeing both on the same screen....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RoboDad:
It is not possible with the plug-ins supplied by SPB. They don't support tasks (or all day events, such as birthdays and holidays) with their software. If someone were to create a custom plug-in that displays these items, then it would be possible. But, since the Mobile Shell plug-in architecture has not been published, that seems unlikely for the time being.

Which screenshot is it shown in? and is it possible to get the voicemail icon to show up as a 4th icon, right after mail, sms, & missed call? or maybe decrease the top and bottom of MS to allow for us to continue to see the menu and status bar (top and bottom bars)?

Also, I'd really like to add a Favorites icon to the menu icons in qp_menu_btn. Could you post more icons from the set used in the Blue Ray Gloss theme, or (if you have time) could you add a Favorites icon to the menu icons for the theme?
