But the background is just plain green...so I guess some files are missing....

Just love the black background....

First of all, thanks to g00ndo for the hard work.

For some reason, I can't get the SPB MS 2.1 to work with realvga 96 dpi on my i780.

Here's what I've done:

1) installed realvga with 96dpi res pack (128dpi res pack installation was unsuccessful)

2) Install SPB MS 2.1, run it on 128dpi (stock). Everything appears nicely but on 128dpi.

3) Go to realvga and set res to 96dpi, got the warning about dlls and auto-reboot.

4) Now on 96dpi, connected the phone via usb to PC and replaced the files from the Diamond Theme.

The right soft-key that says 'Spb Menu' isn't working. Manually triggered the Spd Menu via Program Files-> SPB MS. All i see is a black screen.

5) Went back into 128dpi. Right soft-key works now, the GUI of SPB MS is expanded beyond the screen as expected.

Will appreciate any help here as I even went to the extent to hard reset my phone to get the Spb MS to work.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g00ndu:
What version of SPB version are you having? The last version of SPB MS 2.1 that works with the diamond theme is Build 3363. Any versions later than that does not work at all (Build 3500....).

Therefore, if you have MS SPB 2.1.1, it will not work, not because there are errors on your part or my part, it is just that SPB had made it incompatible with running RealVGA at 96dpi.

That is the conclusion I have, after conducting some tests on the latest beta version (2.1.2 beta).

Having said that, the program should work fine under 128dpi.

I hope you still have the version 2.1 Build 3363 with you, else you can only get the program work under 128dpi.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kikika:
Thanks for the quick reply.

I downloaded mine straight from the SPB website so its likely to be the latest build. Any idea how i can get the last working build?

*EDIT*

Ok, after crawling all over the web I finally managed to get the 3363 build and its finally working. If anybody needs the link just ask, though I'm not sure if its allowed to post links from other website.

Please post a screenshot

Could you please post a screenshot of today screen after installation of realvga and SPB mobile shell.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g00ndu:
The reason there is no screenshot is because it will look the same if the RealVGA is set to 128dpi or without running RealVGA.

You can try to run the standard MS2.1 without RealVGA or RealVGA with 128dpi installed. Once you installed RealVGA, then unzipped the attached files and put them into your MS2.1 directory.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g00ndu:
Not sure what you mean, but if you are talking about the analog and digital format, you need to run the spb start menu, and change from "Professional" (which is digital) to "Classic" (which is analog).

Hope this is what you are trying to say. :)

Nope, my phone does not get stuck at all. Perhaps you can re-install SPB MS2.1?

Are you using SPB MS2.1 or MS2.0? MS2.0 do not support square screen, if I remember correctly.

Just get a regeditor, like what sphynx88 suggested.

Diamond Theme (Thanks GreatBal!) for I780 with RealVGA

Hi, I finally managed to get some time off, and did the theme. Please refer to the image below for a clearer understanding

To come out with that, I have to burn my weekends and my meals as well, just to get the theme moving.

It is very similar to Greatbal's theme, but unfortunately there are some limitations to the I780. For example, the Calendar cannot show 5 weeks, maximum only 3 weeks, this is due to the fact that I780 uses a bigger font size to cover the width of the screen. Changing the font size will result only having a 240 pixel width.

There are still some minor bugs, particularly one which I really do not know how to solve. If you use gesture to change the theme, you will notice that part of the bottom task bar moved with the frame. Try it and you will know what it means.

Enuff said, here is the zipped file.

This is my last attempt at converting the theme for I780 as I do not have much time to do so.

Anyway, credit goes to Greatbal for his beautiful theme. It's really very beautiful and nice.

(P/S: I took the Layout A for conversion)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tilleke:
g00ndu:

Excellent porting of the Diamond Skin by Greatball to the i780 :)

Maybe in the future when you get bored and has nothing to do, you can make it usable without RealVGA :D

In a few words - thank you very much for this skin.

Rgds,

Tilleke
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g00ndu:
For non RealVGA, I believe there are someone in the skin / theme thread, by the name of joleij (sic).

Diamond Theme

Hi,

just a quick Question (and to make sure)...in order to the Diamond Theme running I have to install realVGA first (the 96 dpi Version) and than copy/paste the Theme Files into my SpB Shell Folder.

Would that be the correct procedure?

Thanks for your advise!:)

Diamond Theme

Hi,

I am so sorry - me again!

I feel like I am retarded..but I can't get this to work!

a) I downloaded realVGA128 dpi and installed it (and it shows in the List of installed programs) - but: I can't find it on my Program List or anywhere in the Settings = where can I set it to 128 resp 96 dpi?

When copying the Files into the SpB Folder I seem to be able to get the Diamond Theme but only 50% of it and "offset" resp distorted (which I assume has to do with realVGA).

Any chance to get me a complete Instruction how to set this up (kind of "Idiots Guide" :rolleyes:).

Thanks.....:cool:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g00ndu:
Be careful of the ms_bkg_now bitmaps. Make sure you do not change the size of the Digits.bmp, I encounter that Spb do not work if I change the font to the qvga type (240x320).

Perhaps I might want to change the analog format to include the weather at the side, since it looks too "empty" at the sides.

Again, subject to the availability of time at my end. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g00ndu:
You need to download the 96dpi pack also. Run RealVGA and it will prompt you to select either 96dpi or 128 dpi. Select 96dpi.

You will end up with 2 missing dll files, ignore and soft reset. Then unzip and copy the files to the Spb MS2.1 directory.

Note that running RealVGA at 128dpi is running the stock dpi. You need to download the 96dpi and select it from RealVGA.

Hope that helps. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g00ndu:
Guide to install RealVGA and running SPB MS2.1

Refer to the 1st post and download the 3 cab files. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=327830

Install the 3 cab files into your I780.

Install SPB MS2.1 and run it as stock program. This step is optional, but it will help to determine if SPB MS2.1 can be run on your I780.

If SPB MS2.1 run is successful, run RealVGA.

Select the 96dpi option.

Press ok and a warning screen will warn you about 2 missing dll files.

Ignore the warning message, and continue with the soft reset.

Your startup screen will be magnified (ignore that as well).

When your I780 booted up and running, unzipped and copied the files into your SPB directory.

Also an important step is to get the Greatbal's fonts and installed it in your Windows\fonts directory (I missed this step, so sorry!) I have attached this file in this post.

Run SPB and Greatbal's Diamond Theme should run under RealVGA in your I780.

Note that running RealVGA at 96 dpi will reduce the font size, and you need to adjust the font size accordingly.

Once again, sorry about the fonts. I forgot in my attachment.

Hi,

- no dll files missing (at least no Notification)

- no choice between 128 and 96 dpi

- replaced the orig Files with yr Theme Files...Softreset

- opened Spb Shell..and all i get is the 1st page with the watch...Mail/SMS/Phone tab only half visible on the bottom...nothing else...

- when switching pages only change is between Analog and Digital watch

Hi,

ok..repeated it all - and..YES..it works!

Problem I have now is that Programs like eg World Mate do not display properly anymore....guess there is not much choice due to the 96 dpi, right?

Thanks a lot for yr Help!:)
