Diamond Burntorange gsmart icon and clock

I im trying to combine the gsmart clock into Diamond theme, classic is ok but professional seems to be unaligned. Can somebody pleas help me or give me a hint on what to do.

Tanks marfanuk 4 the fantastic variations of your theme

You R the 1:D:D

Aded gsmart statusicons too looks ok?????
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:
This looks great. I think it would look better again with the dark burnt orange background - ill attach it.

I can see what you mean with the alignment, have you tried edited the clock xml inside qa_layout.dat? .

Please share when your finished
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] degavi:
Never don it but i will give it a try

Cant seem to find clock xml inside just time xml

will read the beginners howto and give it a try
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] plexat:
It's getting better and better. Maybe my ultimate theme is still to be born yet!

Keep up the great work guys. I really apreciate.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] risan:
Is it possible to get a TSK made for the mellow blue theme? Thank you guys for all the hard work and skill put into making these theme. Great job!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:
If you get stuck, post what youve done up to now and we will try and fix it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] willybilly:
Here is the .tsk file for Wide Burnt Orange.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:
thanks, the colours of the bars work really well, a nice change from black!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] willybilly:
Most welcome as I am also learning from reading and following the threads. This is the first time I have my hand on doing the .tsk theme.

Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kobyz:
marfanuk

Maybe you could help me.

I installed your themes over a fresh install.

Whenever I press the calander tab the device gets stuck (asus p750).

I have this problem with other skins but some skins do work for me (VistaUi, Mobile3).

I thought I got stuck because I tried using skins for 2.0 while my ver is 2.1.

But I believe the new skins in this thread are all 2.1.

So what could be the problem?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:
Isnt the asus p750 a smartphone? Which i presume doesn't have touch screen. If so ive never seen let alone played with one - ive one ever had touch screen models.

The problem presuming that it isnt touch screen is that all the skinners Im aware of use touch screen devices and so never experience your problem.

If i had a smartphone id have a look for you, but i dont unfortunately.

GSmart Dark Burnt Orange in landscape????

Hi

does anyone have the GSmart Dark burnt orange theme with working LANDSCAPE?

please upload & share if you have it

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kobyz:
The p750 is not a SP. It has a touchscreen and is a full ppc phone edition.

However i did just find the solution my self so disregard my question.

Tnks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] willybilly:
This is what I can do for the TSK. Hope it is what you are looking for.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] willybilly:
I am looking forward to marfanuk next release to include landscape for GSmart. I just love what he has done for the portrait GSmart Dart Burnt Orange theme.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kobyz:
I just set up the gsmart dark burnt orande. I have to say marfanuk this is one goooooood looooking skin!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ahmedfikry:
ok then..aybe i can help & work on it

does anyone have the background for the burnt orange or the dark burnt orange

for both protrait & landscape so i can start from that?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kockroach:
Hi marfanuk, thanks for taking greatbal's amazing theme and modifying it. I want to thank both of you for the work. After finding out what I needed to do, I made a slight modification to your Burnt Orange layout, making a 3 page Contacts section.

Here it is for anyone that would like it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:
Ive attached both. Keep us updated.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:
Thats great, If it works with my diamond Burnt Orange theme I should imagine it will work with all my diamond theme variations

great work!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:
OK, ive sorted out the centring of the status icons and centred the digital clock + moved it down slightly (attached)

Could you post the qp_menu_btn.dat file your using.

-----------------------------------------------------------

I have circle a couple of changes I would like to make.

1.The dark stripe behind the date - I dont think we really need it with these coloured backgrounds. Without it the design would look simpler and cleaner.

2.The big glossy select button - I think it should be replaced with just a simple highlight as you press the button. Bot keep the present icons

What do You Guys think?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kockroach:
Thanks. And yes, I do believe it should work with any of the other themes, since the qa_layouts file only changes the layout, not the images, etc. For those wondering about the changes I made, I changed the Main.xml to pull up the new MainContacts.xml, and went from one SpeedDial.xml file to three files. The headers on your contacts screens will show as "WORK", "FAMILY" and "FRIENDS".
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] plexat:
1. I agree on the dark stripe behind the date. It would be better without this.

2. I do like the big select button. Specially when the rest has no black line behind them. It marks the tab that is open.

My 5 cents! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:
Good point about 2. I agree it needs to be highlighted, just in a different more minimal way to fit in with the newly created style. Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ToddeSwe:
Swedish?

Hi!

Are you from Sweden by any chance? When looking at the thumbs i can see Swedish icon desciptions... :) If so, how can i use your translated Diamond theme? Or how did You do it? I've managed to use reg hack to change some of it but not everything.

ToddeSwe
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] degavi:
OK, ive sorted out the centring of the status icons and centred the digital clock + moved it down slightly (attached)

OK here it is.

(just change zip to dat)

I am still on a learing state:confused: reading the beginners guide
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] degavi:
:)Yes im from sweden i will post the .txt dokument. Just put it in spb mobileshell folder.

PS Allt är inte översatt men jag jobbar på det:p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xNITRO:
i`m nooby, but how its install??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] risan:
Thank you!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:
Thanks,but I thought you had changed the file and not used the original. I get the strange sound icon at the top when i use the gsmart program icons.

Ive attached, what ive done so far for you to test.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] degavi:
OK i see the problem, u have to install Profilesmenu.dat. I`ll atatch it here 4 u

as usual rename .zip 2 .dat and put it in the spb phonesuite folder.:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:
fixed it - i just changed some of the files in the qp_menu_btn.dat file
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:
i dont use phonesuite - so i hope my fix is ok.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] degavi:
I`ll try it and let u know

Works pefect
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] degavi:
Doubble posting
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kockroach:
Hey marfanuk,

I know others have created a TSK to match, but I wanted to share the one I just made. I didn't change much, but I did try to line up the burnt orange background to appear in the same area as the background in the SPB MS theme. So if you move from the Today screen to SPB MS, it should appear seemless....as far as I could tell.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] willybilly:
Eagerly looking forward to have the landscape version release soon. Can't wait for it. It would be complete collection for this theme.

My preference is still Gsmart against Diamond. It's something unique and blend well in Tytn II as it has its own identity.

Hope those talented people out there could continue to put efforts to improvise and enhance this theme as it is something that is unique and has its own identity.

Most of the people I know and met usually has Diamond theme on their PPC. When I show them what I have in my PPC they are very impressed. So, guys could someone please start a new thread just for the GSMART theme only.

It would be great as now most of the threads have a mixture of GSMART and DIAMOND and at times it's rather confusing.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:
good work kockroach!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:
I know its not quite a thread on its own but post 3 is devoted to gsmart themes.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:
Ive have now finished the theme Dedavim started. Thanks to Dedavim for the idea.

It is exactly to My liking and I think looks really good.

Theme is post on the first post Here - its called 'Our Theme'

Hope You like it!
​
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Hi, is it possible to activate the alarms and apointments on Nowscreen like mtkates did on his skin?

This would look more like Diamond theme and alarms belong to timetab, not to calendar.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nightcookie:
Marfanuk,

THANK YOU - that is just perfect! I had been hoping for a combination of Greatbal's Diamond and your GSmart themes, and here it is! I don't think there's much left to perfection!

Or maybe there is :D :

One:

For highlighting the active tab, how about a glossy-icy frame, like the digital clock or the program or contact icons?

Two:

The Contacts tab on your "Our Theme" still has the black contact frames from the Diamond skin. Could you make them "icy" like in your GSmart theme for consistency?

That's really all I can think of. From today on, PPC has a new skin! :)

Ta,

N.

[edit]:

Three:

Highlights for the selected item are not 100% aligned on the programs tab. Doesn't bother me, just fyi.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:
thanks for the feed back. I new there was something I forgot to add to the file - the new contacts page.

Will update soon.

Contacts page fixed version 1.01 ready to download on post 3
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:
sorry, but that's not the aim of the thread. If you want it more like the diamond, Greatbal is your Man.

This thread is to create new rather than copy existing themes.

Regarding the appointments - Id personally like to keep the today screen simple. So no, I wont be doing that.

Thanks for your interest.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wisedesi:
Hi marfunak,

Great skin, I am using	GSmarted mellow blue, I really loved what you did and remove text from the top so, have more space. One request pictures on the contact screen are still too small and have too much space in between. I see you are using the same image as recently used. Is there any way you can create that page with bigger images with out wating too much space in between the picure and minimum border?

I know I am stretching it now but 3 page contact would be nice.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ahmedfikry:
here is my modifications

works in landscape too for ALL pages

included, matching today theme & S2U2 matching look

the editing in spb theme is my work, graphics & wallpapers, today theme collected from others

i like to set theme in my "practical" setup..(see my older posts), so i will be uploading again in couple of days with modifications to cut this into 3 tabs only with few clicks to get to anything like my other theme setups (black, white diamonds, blue ray..etc)

enjoy

EDIT: attached file removed (freezing & slow)...see new version at ,y post # 121 or first post
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:
If you ask kockroach he might be able to create you the 3 page contacts as he did it for the diamond skin.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ka911:
HI there,

I just want to say thank you very much for your nice themes! I want to ask you how can I have control over what program I want to see in the first page?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wisedesi:
Is there anyway you can just change current page to display bigger icon only for one page.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ka911:
I have an idea that I have never seen yet in theme out there!

my idea is for Weather screen, if any one can make a multi-images of the sun going from right to left just like sunrise to sunset. just an idea..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:
Great work! Ive added your version to the first post of this thread too.

Looks good, Im sure you will have requests soon to tweak the other themes too!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:
You dont really get alot of choice as to what programs are displayed in the first page. Your probably best just adding your favourite programs to the favourites button.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:
I personal dont want that, so I wont be creating it. It has been done by others for other themes. take a look at this thread is should help.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:
I personal don't want that, so I wont be creating it. It has been done by others for other themes. take a look at this thread is should help.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kockroach:
I am trying to see if I can make a 3 page 3x3 contact section. I am creating using the burnt orange. I will post something, if I can get it to work and look good.

EDIT: I may have something, but it will NOT have the glossy black squares as backgrounds for the contact pictures or names. I don't want to resize the files to a larger size as they may look bad.

EDIT2: I was able to get a 3-page, 3x3 contact page for both P & L working. They are slightly smaller in L compared to P, but that is obviously because of real estate size. Also, there is no glossy black square, but there is still the head/shoulders with the "+" sign to access the menu for each position.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ahmedfikry:
Thanks

I will be happy to help :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ka911:
ok thanks,

how about big contacts with less images? like 6 or 4 people in one page. it will be good if I can use layout B for contact plus layout C in the same time!

what I mean is that I have the full option to move from one screen to the next plus see the three contacts pages and then go back to home or Weather screen too
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wisedesi:
Thanks kockroach,

Now that burnt orange will be for diamond version or gsmarte version?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:
...or the new 'Our Theme' burnt orange theme?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kockroach:
Burnt orange diamond is what I used to create it. I posted it in my last post, one page back.

Realistically, it should work on any theme, I would think. It only changes the XML files inside the qa_layouts.dat file. So it wouldn't hurt to try copying it into any of those layouts. If it doesn't work, copy the original qa_layouts.dat file back into the MS directory.

EDIT: Off the contacts topic of my post. How can I get the "Favorites" button on the Programs tab (like in your screen shots marfanuk)? I don't have an option, and I have only seen add ins for Running Apps or Games.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:
This it what I used, it added games and favourites...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kockroach:
That doesn't add a "Favorites" button like the one in your screen shots. It adds "Games" and "Active Tasks". Did you change something else?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:
To be honest I cant remember. Ive got the attached file on my phone too, which maybe what I used.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] carl99:
I tried "Our Theme" but with the diamond white clock instead ... but the clock is not centered ... I think I have to change some settings for the clock position in some of the xml-file ... but which?

Edit: Just found it ... qa_layouts.dat/lockscreen.xml contains the position info ...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fuller45:
can anyone help me please, i have the burnt orange theme installed and looks/works great, but when i click on the messages icons on the today screen it opens up the standard windows messaging program, is there any way i can change the path with a reg edit to open sms-chat? i tried looking but couldnt find an edit.

also the burnt orange when i click on the icons the pressed grey block seems off-centered to the tabs icons....any fix?

p.s. anyone have a .cab to have the bottom row of tabs? aka 9 tabs

thanks much
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] degavi:
I Think it looks perfekt, thnks for finishing it for me. I still have alot to learn and maby some day i too can make all the nessesery changes.

Thanks again marfanuk.

oh by the way its DeGaVi, the name of my bikeshop
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Quadman:
Can anyone add greatbal's 3 speed dial pages to these themes? These themes look way to cool...OOPS sorry jumped the gun lol...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] willybilly:
Marfanuk, I think it's worth considering to put the appointment in the Today screen. It would be nice for a change as I depend a lot on the appointment daily.

How about coming out with two version? One remaining as it is and the other with appointment. Move the weather and sound icons to the upper part next to the email, mail and phone icons.

It's worth considering that. The Gsmart identity would still remain. Food for thought for Gsmart enhancement.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] willybilly:
ahmedfikry, Excellent!!! Great!!! Good job!!!

That was fast. Now, it's complete.

Love it and MANY THANKS to you and Marfanuk.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:
Glad you like it. Its now my favourite theme too.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:
Im not aware that spbmobile shell is capable of the. Although its worth checking the main themes thread.

check on page 11, a couple of posts up from where you posted this. I posted the 9 button .cab.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nightcookie:
marfanuk,

Thanks a bunch for looking into this again - there's the perfect skin on my PPC now! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] willybilly:
Sorry For Wrong Posting ... Please Ignore
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] willybilly:
ahmedfikry or can anyone confirm whether there are problems in the portrait or landscape mode theme.

In the Today screen:

1. When I swipe from left to right or right to left, it doesn't switch from analog to digital clock.

2. When I tap on the email, sms, phone history, weather or phone history icons, it doesn't launch the respective application.

Just to cast my doubt I re-install SPB Mobile Shell 2.1, the same thing happened.

I then revert back to marfanuk theme and it works perfectly without any problem.

Does anyone having the problem I am encountering?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:
Just a quick in progress post. Its a burnt orange skin for windows media player.

Just extract the file and copy it to your wmp file - then choose skin from the players options.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:
Heres another WMP skin

this is in progress, so has a few minor bugs but is very usable and quite a good edition to the burnt orange themes.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ahmedfikry:
in the process...

I noticed these problems..

it happens mainly when the memory is low or just after soft reset

i think the files need to be "cleaned"

there is a lot of un-needed coding from the old files

i am in the process of tweaking & adjusting

i will be posting something better this weekend

stay posted
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ahmedfikry:
NEW NEW NEW,, fixed GSmart burnt Oragne(based on Layout B)carousel with BIG weather

Here you go guys

i finished early

this is the fixed (no hanging or freezing) GSmart Burnt orange theme

with working landscape & protrait

its based on Layout B of GreatBal, you can choose digital or analog from spb shell settings

its Carousel, so you can flip between all pages

i also included the new Big Samurai weather icons with fixing text issues

this one also has 3 contact pages

try & let me know what you think

oh...please remove my first post file & replace with this one please

enjoy....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BeyondInvisible:
Looks great!

I updated the "Samurai Diamond" weather mask, so it won't show the black line on the left side.

Thought you might want to use it for your theme.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:
great work ahmedfikry, Ive changed the first post to include your update.

I might have a play around with your theme later.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TonyJ999:
First off - I have been taking a great interest in this thread for a while now and can only sit back and admire the superb work you blokes are doing!! I've tried them all and now find myself spending so much time switching between skins that I've almost lost track of which one I have.. :)

However, I have just loaded the new GSmart Burnt Orange for both landscape and portrait and noticed a slight problem. It appears that the calandar tab does not work when pressed - just sort of hangs...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ahmedfikry:
download the new version please from post # 121
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TonyJ999:
Sorry still does nothing - just stays highlighted...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Bumfluv:
Volume icon

I love this theme. I've been searching for two days now and this will be them that gets installed on my Kaiser. Just one question ...

Would it be possible to change the Volume Icon, I have only this little loudspeaker and I've seen some nice ones in other themes ...

Another thing is that when pressing a program icon, a big orange square pops up from underneath (probably the total area for pressing). I sort of screws up the beautifull screen.

Please continue with your work, you have my blessing !

Bumfluv
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:
Hi Bumfluv

Which theme are you talking about as there are probably 10 on here now?

Which are the themes you are talking about with the volume buttons?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Bumfluv:
volume icon

it's the New GSmart Burnt Orange Layout B P_L fixed.zip (1.70 MB) in post 121. I also find out that the second 3g icon in the topbar 'sits' on the signal strength icon.

thanks for your time.

Bumfluv
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ahmedfikry:
hi , i included that in my zip file

please get the new "adjusted" one from post 121

thanks for posting in 1st threat, maybe you can replace again now

have a good day
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ahmedfikry:
its working fine here, not sure whats the problem on your side

i removed files, reinstalled shell & copyed files again..still works for me

maybe u can reinstall then move files again to fix

good luck
