[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
Thank you for testing it!

Thank you for your time and input!
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
Thank you buddy

Your contribution was very valuable

i'm using the ones posted in #7post

btw i mite have missed it in the release notes or the tutorial but which file should i edit if i want to have more than 9 contacts on the page...i'm used to have 12 and i want to edit the file

thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] jopiej:
Great.. thanks a bunch.
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
Got the icons

Not a big deal with the icons, but just give me sometime and I´ll post them in the post #2 of this thread.

You didn´t miss anything, that specific files is not mentioned. You need to modify the SpeedDial.xlm inside the qa_layouts.dat
[Windows Mobile Themes] bapssystupr3m3:
alrite thanks the icons are fine with me i can live with that i just had a thought because they were different from screenshots :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] ninja.rogue:
Luiggi, very nice and clean theme, indeed!

My compliments!

Just a request: could you make more Layouts, like Greatbal's, with more contacts (say 3x16 contacts)?

Is your theme working also with spb Phone Suite? will it show different icons for different profiles?

thank you for your good work!
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
Thank you for your comments

Well Greatbal (hats off) is a very talented person and looks like he has mastered Spb MS, I´m a little short of skills to produce things at high speed (I wish I could ... ) In my plans are to keep providing tutorials for different things (like how to make a DialSpeed for 15 or 11 contacts), but honestly I don´t think I´ll have the time to revamp this theme with more pages in the short term.

Cheers!

1,000,000 THANKs

this z my thm :)

can it B N diff colorz ?

blck , green , red , ... etc
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
Thank you, I´m glad you liked it

The intent was to resemble to WM7 theme that has been seen in multiple sites, besides the background in the source files I got from the "old" Spb MS 2 thread matched what it was know, but now that you mention it....... Why not? I like the idea! Let me play with photoshop the background files and let´s see what happens.

hihihihi, you are a "bad" influence for my sleeping (it´s 2:30am down here...!), but I like it!

EDIT: I checked already and in deed it´s possible, however without the need of a major graphics rework I don´t like the fact that with 8 bit image (Thanks Spb) the color gradient lines are very noticeable and some color look really bad, for those interested in give it a try play with matize settings on for the files Separator.bmp, Separator21.bmp and Separator1.bmp. The only icon affected is the little one for the appointments but I can provide a new clean one.

Hi Luigi

I installed the theme but there is no spb settings where I could switch Now from professional to simple (or whatever called)

I need the analog clock with the bars.

How to do it?

Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
Are you sure you have 2,0 or 2,1 MS version?

Strange..... Hit Start then Settings then Spb Mobile Shell and you´ll get the MS configuration screen. First choose Professional and under configuration set the Alarm to Show Allways and Calendar to Auto, then switch to Classic choose Analog Clock and thick the check box to Show Appointments, click OK to return to your now screen (I guess is twice), you will not see the small digital clock so make a soft reset and you´ll be fine.
[Windows Mobile Themes] .dredd.:
Hi

First of all sorry for calling you luigi instead of luiggi

Crazy me... I did not check the system settings... I searched on spb settings side (there used to be but now none)

Thank you for the hint.... checking the result

Edit:

It worked ... thank you. The skin is very cool... CONGRATULATIONS... KEEP UP DEVELOPING!!!

Luiggi

I have been waiting for this theme since the very first mobile shell thread on xda.:D It looks absolutely awesome. Thanks for all of your hard work. I spose if this theme is anything like greatbals last theme we will see a dozen different versions of it within a day as people customize it to their likeing.
[Windows Mobile Themes] XTREEM|RAGE:
Hmm this wanna makes me install spb mobile shell again, nice skin!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] .dredd.:
Luiggi

I like your skin extremely much... as somebody stated I have also waited for this kind of Now skin for a long time... but i do not want to install WA and other big applications... spb shell is different... it works flawlessly since the first install.

Thank you again and do not stop developing....

How to change weather city name

Hi luiggi

Great job, congratulations, finally I found out my favourite skin for sbp ms. However I tried to change the city name (Leon, Gto), by editing the xml files at the "qa_layouts.dat" file but I can't find the way to do it. :(

NTL, thanks for this great skin.

Today Screen

Luiggi - Could you tell me how to edit which .dat file so more days show up for upcoing appointments on the "classic" screen. I can only get it to show one appointment. BTW - GREAT THEME! :)

P.S. - I also don't use photos for my speed dial's at all so I would like to increase the font size where it adds the contact name . . . Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
Thank you all

Welcome back to Spb MS, I´ve try almos all UI´s and this is my favorite

I was hesitating to release this current version without the landscape support, in other words: Yes, I´m working on that and greatbal offered his collaboration when he has some available time.

You bet, that´s another people´s favorite.

Great! I´ll re post your contribution in post #3, that´s what is meant for.

Collaboration is my favorite word, let´s do it!

If I had a VGA device I gladly would do it .....

Contacts and Start

Those are part of the background, so it has to be edited. I´ll post shortly the alternative to how to make the changes.

Have you guys met the problem of could not receive incoming call after using this theme?

I just noticed this problem happens only in the today page with classic layout (not professional).
[Windows Mobile Themes] ninja.rogue:
Thank you Luiggi!

Probably I have explained myself badly.

I would like to add a second page for contacts.

Do you know how to accomplish this?

Thank you again, I now have 16 contacts on a single page, would like to have more pages.

Keep up the good work!
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
Not here

That sounds as a serious problem! I haven´t hear / read before your post about it, I haven´t experienced neither. This doesn´t mean that it couldn´t happen with this particular theme, but I did some reading and found 2 related issues (The 1st similar to your problem and the 2nd one on caller ID) already posted in the Spb site, check the dates and obviusly the people reporting the behavior was not using this specific theme. Considering very short discussions in the threads and also the quantity of Spb MS users, looks for me that both issues are kind of a gray area, that occurs randomly and there´s still not a positive action or solution by Spb guys. On the other hand how about a combination of multiple factors (xda-developer site is flooded with issues related to missing calls or can not receive incoming calls): Your network, your radio, your rom, other software running in your device, and I don´t want to think in your phone itself, etc.

Here the 2 links:

http://www.spbclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17257

http://www.spbclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7907

If you decide to keep using the theme please keep us updated.
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
You explained yourself right

What I meant in the previuos response is that I was not doing myself the coding for additional tabs, but I would keep providing tutorials on "How to x,y,z". Today was the turn for the tutorial of quantity of contacts, but I will do the one for your request, but now that I think clearer I have something that may result useful for your request. Check this http://rapidshare.com/files/116751516/Tutorial_Tabs.pdf , it´s a 4 page tutorial on how to change / add / delete tabs from the tab menu. The last page will give you an idea of what needs to be done, let me know if it works for you.
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
I had to do this test

What you think? Of course, bars, icons and small clock at the top center in the other pages would need the same work, which in escense is to change tone (-31) of the corresponding bmp files
[Windows Mobile Themes] djmimi:
Hello,

I installed the theme as indicated in my TOUCH.

But I do not have the 2 bars corresponding to the battery and network

above the clock, see screenshot.

Why?

Can you help me?

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
Mmmmm.... very interesting

Why? I don´t know my friend, Possible causes:

1.-) You are missing the proper files, please check that you have in place the files qa_operator.dat and qa_battery_now.dat.

2.-) You have the files but the content is from another skin (?), please check the bmp files and see how they look like.

3.-) Perhaps you made changes in the mentioned files or in the LockScreen.xml inside qa_layouts.dat

4.- ) I made a mistake coding, decrypting or encrypting your particular files.

The easy way:

1.- Copy the files mentioned in previous #1 point, softreset and see what happens, if these fails then:

2.-I suggest a clean install, remove Spb MS and make sure that there´s nothing remaining in your installation folder and then reinstall the original software, soft reste, install the files of this skin and soft reset again. If this doesn´t work, then previous point #4 is the most likely cause, sorry for the inconvenience.

Oh! A final request: Would you mind to post your own screenshot to see exactly how it looks like.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mrchris:

Have a question, bro. why is it when I add photo speeddial, there is no border around the photo like yours. Instead it is just rectangle. Could it be the size of the photo contacts? And can you post the background bro? Want to make today background and S2U2 wallpaper. Thanks

B.T.W. this is a fantastic theme. Hats off to you bro .. :)

[Windows Mobile Themes] djmimi:
Hello Luiggi,

I did like me as you suggest.

I uninstalled SPB MS 2.1, deleted the files in Program files, soft reset, and reinstalled SPB MS 2.1 cleanly, soft reset, copy files theme, soft reset. and always the same result.

Here is my own screenshot.

So for the point #4, i don't know how to decrypting or encrypting my particular files.

Can you help me?

Thx

Is it possible to have your SPB Phone Suite icons skinned as WM7? THX thank you !!!

OK it works too in the classic way!!!

great job ;-)
[Windows Mobile Themes] blazingwolf:
I like. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
It´s working!!!

The little thing at the top left is the icon that appears when you are connected to an external source (usb pluged to your pc or AC charger), just unplug it and the bas will show up. The other little icon at the top right will show up whenever you have a restriction in your network service (is your phone sim unlocked?). If you have present icons at the left and right then there´s no reson for the bar not appear, the bars and the icons are part of the same bitmap image.

Enjoy!

PS Forget about point #4, I was just kidding....!
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
I knew the quetion was going to come

All my pics are framed, the feature is not part of the theme but if you like it I´m posting the file. On the background I´m posting the link to the originals (thanks to cornelha) in post #2, I´m posting also a tsk file that I found in an italian blog (don´t know who to give the credit for that), which is fine but I would like to have a black top bar instead of blue.

Thanks for your comments
[Windows Mobile Themes] bigray327:
Very nice work. When's rev 1.1?

I'd be happy to see a fix for the city name (without having to edit the file), and the ability to display more than one upcoming appointment in all that empty space at the bottom.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
I´ll give it a try

I don´t use Phone Suite since I had a lot of trouble a couple of years ago, maybe is time to give it another chance and see what can I do to make it fit to the theme. I´ll be back with results.
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
1.1? Next week will be the Landscape

I´d be happy too with this 2 features you have mentioned, I´m still trying with the 1st one because it has to be possible, I´m not sure about the feasibility of the 2nd one....

Thank you for your opinion!
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
Thank you!

Great! The appointment issue is when you have one and only one appointment and such appointment is recurrent, now the challenge is to make it to display more than 2 appontments :o.

I liked PoinUI too, but I left it even when there was nothing known of customization for Spb, imo we are using now the best available UI.
[Windows Mobile Themes] RideTheTube:
Hey guys

love this theme so much. But would it be possible to create an mix of these two themes

1.Luiggi´s WM7 Spb Mobile Shell Skin

and

2.Original psd files here: http://xdaforums.com/atta...1&d=1206540550 Thanks to cornelha.

It should looks like this

The Clock dock from cornelha and the Voice mail ,Email,SMS (But instead MMS from Cornelha - SMS)

The Rest from Luiggis Theme but maybe the dock below with start Menu contact a little bit smaller like the size on the screenshot.

PS: I´m not an graphicer so sry for stealing your pics and mixing them.

IS it possible to do that and share? thx
[Windows Mobile Themes] 02840:
luiggi - Great theme! I was trying to modify the status icons for a little more color and to match the PS icon, but I have a question... How do I get rid of the message count that is appearing next to the icons I'm using and keep just the one below the icon? (see below) All I did was switch out the qa_status and qa_status1 with ones from another theme that contained the new icons. Just need to get rid of the message count that still shows from your original skin.

This only happens when there are messages, emails, voicemails, etc. When the message count is "0" the additional characters don't appear.

Any help would be appreciated.

(I've attached the two files if that will help, just remove the .zip extension)
[Windows Mobile Themes] pmorganii:
thanks...look forward to it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] abumhmmd1:
Keep WRKng

another choice 4 other colorz loverz
[Windows Mobile Themes] luiggi:
Oooooooh Boy!

You don´t know what it took me to figure out how to have the counting to the right of the icon, but it doesn´t matter :) Here it goes: You´ll find two sets of icons qa_status.dat and qa_status1.dat The first one displays the actual icon and the counting in the low middle of the icon, the second one contains squared black color images to make them transparent and I use the counting of this set. All you have to do in the original LockScreen.xml is to locate the Spl referencing qa_status1 and the plugin named "Fake", just delete the entries or mark them as a comment. Now, on the remaining Status plugin play with the BoundRect height, if you increase it the counting will appear llower respect to the icon, if you decrease it the counting will be located upper respect to the icon.

Another thing play with the "Text Opacity" value in the index file, set to 0 will show the count only when the count is >0, if you set to "100" the counting will allways appear.

Hope to havent confused you, let me know how comes out.

Side Note: Somebody reported just few post behinds that the Phone Suite was not working in Classic, would you mind explain how come you have it working?
[Windows Mobile Themes] abumhmmd1:
PW plz !!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] 02840:
I do like having the count off to the side, but I wanted more color and like the change in transparency when there are messages waiting. If you ever find larger icons with color and decide to change I'll look forward to seeing them. :)

Thank you! :D That worked perfectly.

(I've attached the files I used below)

Hmmm... I don't recall doing anything any different than I have with other skins. Settings -> Spb Mobile Shell -> Advanced -> Now Screen and just checking off the Phone Suite box. Came right up from there.

Thank you again for your help.
