The pw itself won´t be useful if you don´t know what to do after. This WM7 theme thread is not precisely a "how to" unless is this theme related. Use the search button and please read to make sure that the same question hasn´t been asked and answered a couple of dozens of times.

Many Thanks

This is just incredible work. Took a little time to get used to the feel. I LIKE!! All of the artists are amazing. Between you and Greatbal, hard to choose which to use. Then other come along and add, change, makes ya crazy!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] pmorganii:
Nice Version

dude...nice tweak to the WM7 theme...would you share with us? Available in Landscape?
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
I´m glad you liked and I feel flattered, thank you for express your opinion
[Windows Mobile Themes] kangmas:
Discontinued

Sorry bro, have stop modding that. Didn't come out the way I like it. Instead, have mod this. Using BeyondInvisible new Samurai weather icon.

One problem though. Since the weather already has descriptions, I have change the original description to Singapore. So you need to edit qa_weather_description.dat and change it to the city of your choice. Yes, all 17 of them. If not, just override the layout with one attach to just have it blank. ( no city name ) :)

## Have problem uploading. Just download this two zip files, (Files.zip.zip and Files.z01.zip), and rename them to (Files.zip and Files.z01) and unzip the first one.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kangmas:
Thanks to you

My opinion bro. This is the best there is. Complete info on now screen. Been using this ( plus few other variation of this) Since you first release it. Have not look nor install diamond theme now. ( Except to borrow ideas to best improve this theme). Miss the days when robodad, gfreek, Dredd67, kulet78 and others will come out with diverse ideas and unique themes. Just wish .. :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] wisedesi:
Hi luiggi

Excellant theme, finally I am settinling on this one. Ran in to issue, on my main now screen email, SMS and Missed call icons are stuck to gether, I mean overlapping. Everything else looks fine. It is on my HTC mogul, anybody else having problem.
[Windows Mobile Themes] wisedesi:
Hi I renamed the files but I can not unzip them. I was using 7zip. Do I need some special program.
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
A guess your problem is the same as in post #180, if yes, then you´ll find the solution in post #181
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
Thanks kangmas, and yes I missed those days too, after all that was the way how I learned to tweak MS. But I still believe in collaboration work and that´s why I visit frequently the "how to" thread and I provide input whenever is of my knowledge. I allways referred as "we / our" theme and not to mine; I reafirm what is written in post #1: I declined the credits for this theme because I didn´t create anything, all what I did it was to put it together with a different appeareance. And I believe in such way in the collaboration work that soon a genuine collaboration theme will be released.

Well, in the mean time, let´s enjoy moding and changing our phones to our liking and needs! :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] kangmas:
Sorry, but I think you will need winzip to unzip it. There are free basic version on the net. Just google it. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] wisedesi:
Hi Luiggi,

Thanks for the reply, I have same problem. So, I tried solution in post #181. I have not edited dat file before so ,bear with me.

I opened the archive with password. I changed the value and saved the file. It told me file was modified in the archive want to update the archive. I selected yes. I copied this file on my phone and rebooted the phone, I don't get Now screen. When I select Home button nothing happens.

So, Do I need to extract files completely. If yes then how to I make dat file with password?
[Windows Mobile Themes] wisedesi:
Never mind, figured it out and it did fix my problem. I need to extract files and zip with password and rename the extension of the file from zip to dat.
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
Good, you are learning fast!
[Windows Mobile Themes] caramanis:
Status icons

I like these icons, but I have two suggestions/questions:

1. When using them in "professional" mode, the top edge of the "missed calls" icon is showing a line from the bottom of the "text message" icon. Can you please fix that?

2. When there is new mail, the number to the right changes appropriately, but another number appears within the icon, but is visible due to the transparency. Is there a way to fix that?

Thank you!

Edit: This is in response to post #209.
[Windows Mobile Themes] marciton:
thanks for the théme luggi

suggestion for a new version : add a second weather page like this one : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2348505&postcount=3167
[Windows Mobile Themes] wisedesi:
Thanks,

I ran in to another issue, when I slide open my mogul, it turns the UI in landscape mode It does not display any screens other then Now and it is also messed up.
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
I guess that the whole screen weather icon and description is a very nice looking page (Honestly I really like it!), the approach with the current version of WM7 was to maintain a distinctive touch to the pages and this one is well known from where is comming from (nothing against that); on the other hand in my very personal opinion having a built in weather page and add another with same (actually leess) info it becomes a burden for the phone memory. What I can anticipate is that the weather page in the next version will be totally revamped with a distinctive look. If after all this you still want the suggested screen I´m sure that somebody like kangmas will more than willing to work on that and provide the tweak for those interested as he did for the V1 of this theme (see here: http://xdaforums.com/show...80#post2280880 )
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
It´s wierd, but not impossible, mine is still working fine (woud a soft reset resolve your trouble?)
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
Answer to your questions in bold face, I guess that DOC3000 is kind of busy with his new rlToday skin (A very nice skin btw)
[Windows Mobile Themes] silvscorp:
luiggi, I really love the clean look of this theme, I like the original version the way it is except the contact page. I've read through the guides but can't find info on how to add an additional page or 2 just for the contact. Is that a complicated process? Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] silvscorp:
The status file worked perfectly but also same problem with the phone ringer status, need transparent icon for "normal, vib, silent" for both now screen and mode selection screen.
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
Thank you silvscorp. Is not complicated at all, take a look to the work that kangmas made for the v1, note that he has 3 contact pages these pages are defined in the qa_layouts.dat in the "Spedial.xml´s" : There are 3 of them, almost identical except that each one of them plots different contacts variables in the screen depending of the page. Also in the same qa_layouts.dat look at the Main.xml, he defines additional tabs for each new page, and each of these tabs has the corresponding reference to the "Speedial" page mentioned before. Take a look to those and you´ll figure out how it works. I wish I could have time to explain it in more detail, but I´m busy right now working in our new version.
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
For these theme I couldn´t find a way to make the counters invisible, so I had to use a trick to hide them with the icon itself, of course if the icons are transparent nothing would hide the counter...... sorry!
[Windows Mobile Themes] caramanis:
Thank you! A couple of follow up questions:

1. Since the transparency/number issue cannot be solved, I tried to use DOC3000's first set of icons (the non-transparent ones) but darken the background blue color (On the professional theme, the blue square surrounding the white icon is lighter than the background, because they are placed higher on the page than in the Classic theme). My computer kept saying it wasn't a valid bmp except when using the basic MS Paint program, and then when I was able to edit it, the icons did not appear at all on the PPC (I only got two numbers, one centered and one on the right, but no icon). Any ideas why, or how I could edit the bmp to darken it and then have it work properly?

2. Alternatively, you mentioned that I could use the transparent icons with the numbers below and not the ones on the side. I assume that would be done by making changes to the qa_layout? What exactly would I need to do?

Thanks again for all your help. Your skin is absolutely amazing!
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
Thank you, I´m glad you like it and be useful for you.
[Windows Mobile Themes] caramanis:
I originally tried using Paint Shop Pro, but it wouldn't open the files. Trust me, I knew MS Paint was a last resort, but it was the only program that would open and display the bitmap. On the more advanced software, I was getting an error when trying to open it. Nevertheless, I appreciate your comments and your help!
[Windows Mobile Themes] silvscorp:
Thanks a lot, after spending couple of hours comparing different versions out there finally figured out and able to create my own custom pages and gestures! Superb work! Can't wait for your new versions.

[Windows Mobile Themes] coup3z:
can't wait for the new skin :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] mrchris:
I'm not getting anything like the screenshots in the 1st post.

I'm running SPB Mobile 2.1 on an Athena (default to landscape QVA (not sure the dimensions)).

MobileShell is installed on the device '\Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell'

To install the skin I simply extracted the contents from the zip in the first post (from rapidshare), then updated the qa_layouts with the one from the first post.

Next a soft reset to activate the changes.

When the device restarts I go to the 'Now' screen and although the layout is different I'm not getting any of the new icons, attempting to scroll by sliding a finger causes the application to crash.

Has anyone else tried this and seen similar? Any work arounds/things I've not done?

I love the look of this theme, just wish I could get it to work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mikedav01:
Hey all, Kangmas, does this new mod still have 3 contact pages? I have been using this theme for 2 weeks now and have stopped looking. Does all I need and looks great.

Luiggi, what is in the new version??? Hmmm?
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
I´m sorry your divice has a nice 5 inch 480x640 resolution screen in this theme doesn´t have support for it, besides according to this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=406032 I doubt that Spb has full support for the original software.

Hi Luiggi, Thanks for the GREAT theme!!! My god you guys that do this work are amazing!! VERY talented!! I have 1 question regarding changing the city name. I read the release notes and followed the instructions on the download, the tutorial Encryption, but I encounter one major problem. After changing the name to my city I go to the original file on my desktop that I copied and when I change it back to a 'dat' file it still stays a zip file. Any help would be MUCH appreciated!
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
Hi! Thanks for your word. To tell the truth I don´t know how exactly you are doing this process. Omce you change a file extension windows ask for a confirmation if you accept the confirmation there´s no way that the file change its extension by itself.... Repeat the process and follow it step by step.

I have the mode set to Classic Analog. I want the analog clock mode (the main home screen pic).
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
What device you have?

Sorry about it, perhaps I can help you to sort it out, just please tell me what device you have and if you set Spb MS the way is described in the Release notes
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
Written inn the release notes too

Yes, it happens when you switch from the Professional to Classic Analog, just do a soft reset and you´ll be all set. This is a known issue for me and it could be fixed by next release.
[Windows Mobile Themes] rvashi:
Thank you so much for the prompt reply luiggi! Soft reset did the trick.

Thanks for the theme, I think it looks outstanding! I've been trying to change the city name in classic mode by editing the lock screen, and as far as I can tell I am doing it correctly. But every time I make the changes, and then do a soft reset, I can no longer access the now screen, only the programs and contacts.

Any suggestions? Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] ermenzegna:
nope, longer than 5 seconds i thought.

it is possible consider my sms inbox content now more than 800 sms ? :D

it will take more time to initializing .

Oh, btw, how to change the location at Today menu (now appear Leon)

brb try to clean out my inbox then :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
I can help

Make sure you have rencrypted properly the file (WinZip will show an asterisk to the right of the fie name). If you have trouble with this send me your city name and I´ll fix it for you, no problem.
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
Sure, not a problem

Thanks for the comment, just tell me which ones you need and I´ll post it gladly.

I bet your english is lots better than my french!!!

No worries buddy!! Glad to help.
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:

800 SMS? Gee, you could write an encyclopedia with those :)

To change the city please read the release notes and download the tutorial in the first post in case you can´t edit xml files.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ermenzegna:
OMG !!!

tell me this is happen to me only :eek:

after several setting with this beauty interface, then i can't access the today menu again except the START and CONTACT buttons. :eek:

I already try a "quick and the death" rule .... which mean soft reset :D but still not good at all.

Luigi, please accept my apologize for my fuzzy question.... :p

Did you change your city name?

Would you mind to post your qa_layouts.dat please?
[Windows Mobile Themes] ermenzegna:
Yes, there's no problem with qa_layouts.dat ( I already success changed it to Jakarta, IND )

but after i changed the setting at SPB Menu to Professional then back to Classic everything seems to be ok now.

fiuh..... this is ABSOLUTELY FABOLOUS !!! (my friend beside me keep looking what i'm doing with your interface and now I think he is praying to have PDA Phone too) :D :D :D

where can i download this theme, its awesome
[Windows Mobile Themes] dsteinschneider:
Memory usage prompted me to roll my own

I installed wm7 v1.1 but it was using almost 6mb of ram. I really liked the 3 button menubar at the bottom of the today screen and the 9 button speed dial so I put back my old 9 button theme (I think its RoboDad's) and then copied in qp_menu_btn.dat for the program buttons and qa_layouts.dat for the 9 button speedial and three button today screen from the wm7 1.21 zip.

Those changes left my mobileshell running at 1.3MB but achieve mainly what I wanted from the WM7 theme

Why does the WM7 1.1 theme use 5.7MB RAM? Just curious - its such a big difference.

Thanks,
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
I don´t know the exact reason but you can blame the unexperienced skinner. If you look closely at thescript files you may notice that it has a lot of patches, remarks and possibly some redundancies. Sorry!
[Windows Mobile Themes] dsteinschneider:
Hi Luiggi, please don't apologize just because I only have 64MB. Your WM7 theme is awesome. For others out there who are memory constrained - I copied into my existing robodad 9 button theme Luiggi's WM7 qa_layouts, qa_status and qa_menu_btns (actually the colorful one someone posted in this thread). It worked - I get the larger status icons up top where I prefer them - 9 button speed dial and the 3 page layout and 3 button Now screen.
[Windows Mobile Themes] marciton:
@luiggi : do you have new theme in the pipe??
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
How do you know that?

Yes I do, in fact is ready since 3 or 4 weeks ago but I don´t make up my mind about the graphics (I´ve changed them a bunch of times since Heefy is busy in his business and can´t support the theme which we both started together). It has some of the features that can be noticed in the pictures of this page. http://gizmodo.com/341287/windows-mobile-7-details-leaked-+-multi+touch-motion-gestures.

[Windows Mobile Themes] Taintor:
Start and Contact missing

I installed this theme when I was using winmo 6 and the theme worked perfectly. However, I did the vzw update yesterday to 6.1 and now when i put on this theme, the Start and Contacts texts are missing. Any thoughts on how to fix this? I have tried to uninstall and reinstall but still the same thing. Other than that, the skin works just fine.
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
I don´t think WM upgrade is causing this trouble, perhaps did you upgrade your Spb MS too to another more recent version than 2.1?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Taintor:
Version #

SPB Mobile says I am using version 2.1.1 build 3507 and registered. I believe it is the same one as before the upgrade. Is there a difference between 2.1 and 2.1.1? I think i used 2.1.1 before the upgrade, but I would have to back and check. Any other thoughts before I can get back to my machine to see for sure?
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
2.1.1 is the version that Spb released to "prevent" the non original themes to run smoothly, they changed their minds and then released 2.1.2 which is more friendly with the moded themes. I decided to stick to the 2.1 so I don´t know if this theme would work with the newest version.

I have a question...on the bottom of the main screen where you have the start menu, the windows circle in the center and the contacts on the right...is it possible that I can change the button when I press contacts so that it opens up icontact (that's a contacts program)? I really like icontact and would prefer it. How can this be done??
