Man These are all awesome...I am just wondering if there are any themes(I've read this thread for an hour and still can't figure it all out..)

Basically I want one that has:

Main Home screen, with time, calendar appointments coming up, and the weather thing(the background + the temp on the front screen), and the messages/calls missed buttons. If it couldn't all fit, I would want the temp actually displaying taken away first. Having the calendar appointments on the front screen with my clock makes me not forget important thing.

Then I want the tabs, with the 2nd being the calendar(I've seen some without the calendar??), and then the rest normal like everything else.

So basically the same thing as the theme above me, but adding a quick description of weather(mainly the temperature), and my calendar entries coming up as well. How can I do this?

Also, how can I edit my programs tab so I can put what programs I want on it?

This is awesome, thanks guys!!

Edit:

Found this one at the top: GSmart dark burnt orange.zip (1.38 MB, 612 views)

That one is what I want, but I would just want the weather change background thing and the upcoming calendar appt's on the front screen, and maybe the thing that says when your next alarm is going off?

How can I do this?

Thanks again everyone!

download problem

Hi, can you pls. move to other download site this spb shell weather program. cause current site is not allowing for downloading due to some illegal and some risks which banned by Turkisg gov.

Thanks.:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] splayer7:
You need to update to Mobile Shell 2.1. That will fix the problem.

"i have that screen because if you click the that weather display icon it gives you a 5 day forcast"

yes i know but i whant to go directly to the five day forcast if its possible
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bereda:
ill look into that also
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] degavi:
hope you,ll find out how, that would make it prefect. Thanks in advance :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Savok:
I actually played around with this for a long LONG time and didn't get anyplace. I also copied the weather.xml to the time.xml and used the clock to load the weather (instead of an icon or tab) and would really like to go straight to the 5 day forcast. Hell, I would like to know where in the code the lockscreen calls the time.xml from the clock click so I can point it straight at the weather.xml file.

Hi,

May I have this purple heaven background image so I can make it my MS today background and a S2U2 matching picture?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ahmedfikry:
Hi

this is because the size of other clocks are bigger than the GSmart one

to center different clocks, you need to edit the "lockscreen" xml file inside the "qa_layout.dat" file

you need basic knowledge of skinning to do so...there is a biggeners how to thread out there

you need the known unzip password to extract the lockscreen file, then move teh X coordinate of the clock, include it in the zip dat file again then re-encrypt it before you move the edited file to your ppc ..& of course softrest then

hope this helps

good luck

Help with Launcher/MRU?

Hello All,

I am currently running the ‘GSmart ***** black theme’, and when I select the Launcher tab it brings up the MRU screen, not the launcher screen. Does anybody know of a fix for this? Perhaps something that I can change in my settings?

I apologize if this topic has already been discussed and I would truly appreciate any assistance you could provide. Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] plexat:
Thanks a lot. I will use this help to solve it myself. At least it is done by me. :D

Thanks for your guidance!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Phonatic:
Try swiping your finger across the screen right to left or the other way. I think that is how you toggle between the launcher and mru page. The tab will bring up what you were veiwing last between the two of them.

Hi,

I'm a noob. I stumbled across this forum by chance a couple of days ago, and wow, you guys are geniuses. I'll be getting the Samsung Omnia as soon as it becomes available and I'll be porting it with one of the themes on here. My thanks goes to guys like marfanuk, ahmedfikry, gagaza and the like, keep up the good work.:)

hey ahmed can you share with me how you made the bottom launcher invisable? id love to apply it to a theme im working on
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ahmedfikry:
inside the "qa_layout.dat"... first, find the main.xml...& edit the coordinates (x&y) for all the tabs: X more than 320 in protrait & Y more than 320 in landscape

then go to all other xml files (launcher, lockscreen, etc) and remove the "my tab" plugin which is the indicator square that covers the tab icon when selected ...or move its coordinates more then the sceen size as well

this is the best i can do describing in words...if you open my theme file & check you may understand better...good luck

please give proper creidt when you post your theme...thanks

Duchess,

true, "***** Black" is one great theme! Could it be that you're trialing the Mobile Shell 2.1.2 beta? Ahmedfikry's theme works fine with version 2.1, but in the 2.1.2 beta 2 -

- the Launcher brings up the MRU screen and

- the Dial/Contacts button brings up page 3 (not page 1).

The "finger swipe from start button" still works allright for the correct pages.

ahmedfikry,

could you be persuaded to look into this? The beta is available here.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] smoothcrooner:
Hi,

I like the themes very much, do they work in landscape?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Duchess:
Thank you for your help Phonatic & Nightcookie

I am using version 2.1.1

The 'finger swiper' does bring up the launcher, but it doesn't stay there when I go back to that screen.

Since I don't really need it, is there a way to remove the MRU screen from the theme? Thank you again for your assistance. :o
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jkrj524:
Excellent work. Thank you so much for sharing your great work.

I, like many here, love your "***** Black" theme. My only request (if possible) is, would it be possible to just have one page for my contacts? I would prefer to have just 1 page instead of 3 pages.

If you could do this, I would appreciate it a lot.

Cheers!

revised ***** Black theme for 2.1.2

Hi everyone

sorry for not replying earlier... work + summer parties taking all my time & money :)

i will gladly work on the '***** Black' theme for you

i will modify to have it bring up the correct pages from the tab (messed up due to the new version 2.1.2 but its easy fix)

then i will also upload another file with no MRU and 1 contact page for the ones who like it that way

it will take me couple of days but i will try to do my best

meanwhile you can use my "practical GSmart WM7 theme colors version" it has 3 tabs only & you can select black theme and it will just have little hue on the bottom until i finish the one you guys wanted

thanks for your appriciation of the my theme....

a donation link is in blue print next to my signature too :) ..thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nightcookie:
ahmedfikry,

thanks, much looking forward to it -"***** Black" has been sitting on my device for weeks now and that's a record!

To make it easy, maybe you could start with the 'correct pages bug' caused by 2.1.2? I can easily wait for the 1 contacts no MRU version a bit longer! :)

Great stuff - thanx a lot!

ahmedfikry, great work.:) You beat me to it. I just got home and was about to post a layout for Nightcookie that gagaza had done for me about a week ago.

It's a little different than yours. But there's no sense uploading it now.

Anyway he did some mods on it afterwords which i'll post. He did it before V2.1.2, but it seems to work.

I'm trying to figure out how to upload?

What a PIA. I had the toughest time uploading. Will someone please test these files for me?. You'll need ***** black already installed. Just place all the .dat files into your Spb folder and reset. Please just copy the .dats and let them overwrite the existing files. Do not copy folders into you spb folder just the .dats. TIA

Also can someone tell me how to upload a .zip file that is barely over 2mb:confused:

WHITE DIAMOND transparant icons

Hi all

I had few comments / requests regarding my white diamond theme icons

many wanted the icons to "float" on the white screen..and to NOT have the black siamond square around it

so here what i did:

- I modified the GSmart (better looking transparent) icons..now you get the floating look & also you can see through them...

- If you change the shell theme colors, the BG squares colors will change and this is seen THROUGH the icons

- I also changed the MRU icon backgroiund to match and be transparant as well

- I also changed the STATUS icons, now they are hidden(shadows) and when a new call or message arrive they will turn dark ... more eye catching to me

finally, and in a seperate zip file,

for the ones who are using my latest FULL screen white diamond, because the new icons are little different i had to adjust the position of the icons in landscape to line up correctly.... so i attached a new layout.dat file (again this one is ONLY FOR FULL SCRRN WHITE DIAMIND)

if you like my work...please donate

ahmedfikry,

you're a wizard!! Thanks a lot for the fix, and in no time at all!

I like the new "shady" icons on the Now screen very much, and the "no MRU 1 Contacts" layout is just perfect for my needs!

I've discovered one - minor, really - bug probably also caused by v 2.1.2: The softkey shortcuts (left and right) now bring up the wrong pages! Here's what I've noticed so far:

- Spb Menu brings up Calendar

- Speed Dial brings up Spb Menu

Same goes for the "finger swipe from Start" gestures -they now bring up the Now screen, Calendar and Spb Menu. If that's intentional - a feature and not a bug - just let us know!

That's not a big issue for me, I just thought I'd let you know.

Very happy with my Pitch Black v2.1.2 theme now - THANKS A LOT!

N. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nightcookie:
EXCELLENT WORK!

The white theme really works brilliantly in the sun!

Any chance you might eventually roll out a white theme just like Pitch Black, just with colors reversed? Like an ahmedfikry Brite White theme? :) For all of us who are not to keen on the Diamond design but adore your GSmart-based themes? Maybe someday?! ;)

Keep it up!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] blackangst:
How tough would it be to:

1. Remove one of te clocks...I only need the analog...not sure why theres two..

2. Create a custom launch screen to assign most used programs instead of drilling down through programs.

In fact, I, personally, would like to have a launch screen instead of a one touch contacts...I assume there is a contacts menu?

Or maybe its a pipe dream ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ahmedfikry:
the 1st bug is a 2.1.2 bug that i can not fix...some had luck by uninstalling, soft reset, reinstalling again , then copying new theme files, them soft resetting...and it was gone by it self???

the second one, the guestures will bring pages 1,2,3 for the tabs from left to right...so if you want different screens to pop with guestures, then i will have to change the tab order (now screen, launcher, contacts...then the rest) but that requires some work (not an easy fix)...but to be honest with you, i actually go to spb settings, animations, and disable the guestures (top box) as i noticed that battary life is twice as long without it...so it dont matter to em really
