I installed all together and I must say that I observed the unaligned touch zones.

I must say that I observed the unaligned touch zones! The problem is that you can move the touch zones if you click and hold!

I didn't observe the problem with the click on the left column.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tylr:
I'm not sure I understand. In one post you mentioned it working but then it looks like you are having the alignment problems as well.

What do you mean that "you can move the touch zones if you click and hold?" I re-installed 2.1.1 and don't see a way to do that.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Cassatta:
If you go to the contact page and click&hold, you can move the lyaout (photos) when moving your finger or the stick.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mandymariee:
I don't think mine is working correctly? I downloaded everything right.. got the newest rom... it's freezing my phone a lot, taking forever to start up the phone, and I'll click on a link and it'll go to something else....

Any ideas what I did wrong?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mandymariee:
I just downloaded v2.1 and it's doing the same thing v2.0 was doing to me. The aligning is off when I click on something. Can anyone tell me how to fix?

And can I get the fire background from v1.2 on this?

Get back to me ASAP please. I'm getting muy frustrated.

Thanks!!

Oh, and just an FYI... on v2.1 when you're changing the color scheme.. you can't go BACK.. you can only to MORE (colors)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtkates:
If you are using Mobile Shell ver 2.1.1 (the newest version) that is probably what is wrong. A lot of people are having problems with this skin and the newest version of Mobile Shell. We are trying to work with SPB to find out what is wrong. In the mean time, I would suggest installing Mobile Shell version 2.1.0 which can be found as a link in this thread or I am told you can find it on the SPB website under previous versions.

As far as other backgrounds, some new ones have been posted in this thread that offer landscape support for Diamond v2.1, although I don't know if the one you are requesting is included or not.

I see that these are your first 2 post to XDA so I'll be gentle. When you find something on XDA that you like and want to use, please take the time to read the entire thread where you found it. This problem has been reported several times in this thread already. I know it can take a lot of time to read some of these posts, but you might be surprised at what you can learn and your questions may already be answered.

I hope this helps and you get it working properly, it's a great skin for a great program., and WELCOME to XDA!
[Windows Mobile Themes] ABDOKRO1:
First I'd like to thank our skinners for all the good work. I really appreciate changing my shell skin acording to my mood.

I'd like also to complain about most newbies... Did anyone ever read previous posts/pages these days ? I consider myself as a newbie too, but I find most of the answers to my questions in the previous posts and/or the search engine. Why do people keep on asking the same questions ? Come on lazy people, use your brain !
[Windows Mobile Themes] tylr:
Just FYI - My findings:

SPB MS 2.1.1 --> Diamond Theme 2.1 - Alignment issues

SPB MS 2.1.1 --> Diamond Theme 1.2 (version F I think) - working fine

SPB MS 2.1 --> All themes working fine

My device:

AT&T Tilt

6.1 ROM (Dutty's April 29th ROM)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mandymariee:
I just installed the v1.2 for the theme. It works, though not as good looking as v2.1..

I saw it had been reported, but I was frustrated and sick of reading and trying to find what I needed. Sorry. Wont happen again. Was just REALLY frustrated with it all. I'm normally a HTC Home user.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtkates:
No problem. A lot of people have been frustrated (me included) with the new version of Mobile Shell, although some say it works fine for them. You can use the newer Diamond skin if you uninstall Mobile Shell and re-install the previos 2.1 version which can be found at the link below. Your current license key should work with it.

Nice theme. My phone looks like Diamond phone now. :p

It used to look like IPhone, now Diamond. Love WM phones. What's the next trend, does anyone know?

~ Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] tylr:
I like the Diamond look but if you're looking for the next trend, check out mtkates' WM7 theme. Its a really good one as well.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mandymariee:
Hey.. has/can anyone make the weather pictures better on v1.2 (like on v2.1) ... or make it to where you click on a bottom menu button, it changes to color like on v2.1?

I like both those things about 2.1, but I like v1.2 better. It's more organized and user friendly with no problems.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] HaiAuNho:
You've gotta check out these awsome weather graphics by BeyondInvisible. Much better looking icons. It even changes the background according to your weather condition.

~thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] mandymariee:
You didn't leave a link or anything??

ALSO, last question, I swear, lol..... On HTC Home Customizer, you could customize "quick links" to programs that you used most often, is this possible on here?

The best spot for it would have been in the *main menu* when you scroll over to the next menu with your finger (or whatever)..
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtkates:
The "Link" is the "Search" button in the upper right of your screen. Here is what I found when searching "BeyondInvisible".

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=402124

There are 2 places you can put "quick links" to programs. Use "My Menu" and edit what goes there in Settings/SPB Menu or you can "Pin" a link on your MRU screen. For further information on how to do either of those, see the SPB Mobile Shell User's Manual that can be found on the SPB website.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mandymariee:
Thanks!

That's the kind of graphics I want, I already saw those in earlier posts, but I'm using v1.2 ... I was wondering if anyone had any better weather graphics for that version. I don't like version 2.1..
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtkates:
Try those, it is stated on that thread that they should work with any Mobile Shell 2.1 skin, which includes Diamond v1.0, v1.1, v1.2, v2.0, v2.1, etc.

Don't be afraid to try things. If they don't work, re-install what you had before.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mandymariee:
lol. I did try before. on the one listed on this forum.. awhile back..didn't work, but who knows.. they look the same.. but maybe they are different. I'll try now and update on status. Thank ya.

***Update*** It worked! wonder why the other didnt??? Thanks so much. It's silly.. but the weather graphics is the most important to me... lol.

Is there an easy fix to make the bottom menu button I click on, turn to color?? like on v2.1? Nobody ever answered that. So that doesn't count as another question ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Phonatic:
never mind wrong post
[Windows Mobile Themes] gagaza:
Dinoalbert, I just noticed your post. I haven’t had much time lately, but here you go. Samurai icons for portrait and landscape.

Time/Calendar page with city times. For portrait only. I didn’t spend time doing landscape. You’ll just need to switch to portrait if you want to see times for other cities.

Also, I know that you use the start button on the top left of the Now screen, so I added it to the Launcher screen. I use it in the layout that I’m currently using and find it extremely functional on this page. If you try it and don’t like it there, let me know and I’ll remove it. I didn't post pics of the calendar cuz you know what that looks like.

Oops, I forgot to point out that, in landscape, to get to settings and change the city just press the city name.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtkates:
LOL....Sorry, missed that question. Guess I was overwhelmed by the barrage. And the answer is no, it is only a feature of the one you don't like, but keep watching, new skins are always under development.

BT, Wifi, GPS on the NOW Screen

Evening all,

Has anyone put in a mod that includes BT, Wifi, and GPS on the NOW screen? That would be the most ideal thing in a perfect world for me but then again I am just being selfish. I used a product called Phone Weaver that allowed me to toggle anything right from the Today screen. Would be great to have that same functionality.

Thanks,

Steve
[Windows Mobile Themes] dinoalbert:
gagaza,

thanks again compadre! excellent mods again. No problem with the landscape as I dont always use it.

By the way, I am using a layout wherein there are 2 MRUs in my Now screens' left corner. If I use this mod of yours, should it disappear and get replaced by your Start menu button?

Anyway...I'll give it a try. Salamat!
[Windows Mobile Themes] gagaza:
Why in the heck did you switch to v2.1 if you don't even use landscape.

You were all set-up with V2.0. I don't use landscape either. I usually don't do mods that I don't use myself. I did this upon your request only.

Please don't always switch to the latest, it's not always the greatest. I personally feel 1.2 is better than 2.1. If something is working great for you stick with it and make it even better, to suit your preferences.

Anyway, you're welcome. And you're lucky.:) 2 mrus only take a second to do. Here's that layout for you.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dinoalbert:
hahaha yeah it just hit me bro....why the hell did I switch. I just realized the only new in this version is landscape! oh well. I guess my only reason for this is just for "show-off" to my mates in case I need to show off also the landscape mode :D

maybe also its my impulse to switch to new version whenever there is one :D

actually bro I like your version for the Start Menu button. I installed the first one you gave, but the Start Menu button didnt appear, instead, my previous 2MRU has now become a 1MRU-only, and no Start Menu :)

still thanks for this 2MRU. I can settle for this if I cant make the Start Menu appear :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] gagaza:
Yeah, I guess we might as well laugh about it. I'm actually cracking up as I'm typing.

Anyway the start button is something that you have to put in. I just provided a place for it. You can easily add the start button and still have another button if you use the 2 mru layout. GODZSON and jeffrey2000(forgive me if the name is wrong) posted good tutorials and then a few others also provided info on how to do it.

Someone explained how to add quickmenu and tyler even did a cab file. Don't use the cab file if you have mods to your layout that you want to keep. Or use it then redo the mods.

Or stick with how you were using them before. It worked, right?

Anyway the info is out there.

As a reminder I am glad to help you and others, but I seem to have less and less time. Make your requests count.:)

Notification issue revisited

If I missed the answer please forgive the repost, but in doing a search I have not been able to find one. I love the theme, but if I miss a notification I am not able to go and view it. The left soft key area on the Today Screen that usually shows notifications will flash "Notification" or "Reminder" very fast, and every time I try to catch it, it sends me to the theme. I switched sides and the same thing takes place. My question is is there a way to fix this or is there a link that can be added that will take me directly to the notification?
[Windows Mobile Themes] nsfx:
Guys i already have got mobile shell 2.1 installed. so i just followed these instructions to get it working? Just want to make sure.

Notes:

1) Download the zip file from the link below. Unzip on your hard drive.

2) Choose a layout and copy the dat files from the appropriate layout folder to your device (\Program Files\SPB Mobile Shell)

2) Copy the dat files from the Optional folder if you would like to use the alternative Icons/Digital Clock/Background images or if you have SPB Phone Suite installed on your device.

3) For SPB Phone Suite users, copy the dat file from the "For SPB Phone Suite Users - Place files in SPB Phone Suite folder" to your SPB Phone Suite directory (\Program Files\SPB Phone SUite)

4) Don't froget to soft-reset your device for the changes to take effect.

[Windows Mobile Themes] gagaza:
Yup, that'll definetly do the trick for you. Back up both of your SPB folders, that you mentioned, onto ypur computer. If you need to you can alway undo what you did using those folders.

I think that your double checking cuz it sounds so simple. But yeah, that's all there is to it.

Hi guys,

I know most people are busy here. Just need some help or pointers as to which files or xml's i need to change in order for me to use V2.1 with my samsung omnia.

As the layouts are set in 240x320, and I just need tofigure out what changes need to be made for it to be in 240x400.

TIA
[Windows Mobile Themes] gagaza:
I guess it's pretty easy to tell when I've got the day off. Sorry for the multiple posts.

Anyway today I worked on some weather pages to incorporate into V2.1

Earlier I did Samurai weather for portrait and landscape.

I just did the landscape for the Natural weather icons. These weather icons are the work of BeyondInvisible. I'm a big fan of his work.

BeyondInvisible has noted that you are able to use whatever graphics you want to use. You'll just have to put them in the same format.

Just a FYI his V1.6 weather icons set up is pretty cool. It's pretty much a compilation of some of his work.

The files that he provides is for Greatbal's Diamond V1.2 Layouts.

He provides the weather icons and .xmls.

That layout uses the Samurai icons for the full page, the classic big icons for the detail page,

and the Natural weather icons as a full page background/wallpaper for the Now screen.

The wallpaper will automatically change when the forecast changes.

Anyway you can mix and match the pages. You can even use your own graphics that aren't related to weather onto your now screen.

Just to have automatically changing wallpaper.

By the way gofawkurself has come up with his weather icons for V1.6 and can be used for V1.5.

They're not quite as tranquil as BeyondInvisible, but they are very creative and good.

They can be used in this layout provided.

This layout looks best with the original background or a solid background.

This does not have the wallpaper on the Now screen.

As before, to update weather info, touch update info. To access settings and select city, touch city.

My main goal was to keep the picture as unobstructed as possible.

This is for Diamond V2.1 only
[Windows Mobile Themes] Cassatta:
Thank you gagaza! It works very nice !!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] dinoalbert:
thanks also gagaza! I wanted this also but I didnt expect you're going to do it for v2.1 too :)

Dimaond Skin - SPB Mobile Shell Customize Menu

Hi Guys,

a question about the SPB Mobile Shell Customize Menu,

when you add an application you can use the edit feature tu change the application icon.

There is no way to change that set of icon provided by SPB mobile shell? :confused:

I try to use programs as ResHacher or IconPackager to add new icons,

but I'm not able to find the file where that icons are stored :(

I would like to use icons more suitable to the fantastic Diamond skin you developed...:rolleyes:

Thanks to all and ... great work!!!

Treqq
[Windows Mobile Themes] tylr:
This is a great idea, but you'll probably not get many bites to skin this for you. Your best bet is to read up and try it yourself.
[Windows Mobile Themes] lepsyfou:
my friend our work is perfect; thanks again
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtkates:
The icons provided by Mobile Shell are not really icons, they are .bmp images layed out in strips and used by the program. It is possible to edit them individually. Look for the Begginer's Guide to Mobile Shell thread on this site for info on how to get into the .dat files (such as qp_menu_btn) and on what .bmp formats to use.

I was thinking about changing these icons for a future theme, but I'm sure it will be a LOT of work unless you have more graphics talent than my limited talent.
[Windows Mobile Themes] GODZSON:
I hope this post of my Throttle theme doesn't offend any one, cause this is not SPB.. I just wanted to show what can be done with this.. Greatbal and everyone else contributing to SPB have done a Miraculous job.

Hi!

My guess is that i was realy lucky when doing this!

I'm not good at PhotoShop at all, i did not change any mode or anything, i just erased the original text and replaced it with the Swedish one.

Then i had an open dat/zip archive and dropped the files into the archive.

I was very thorough to use the same password when adding the files.

That was all i did... i think... sorry for not being able to help you.

Greatbal,

I have enjoyed your Diamond theme V.1.2, and now V.2. I know how much time it takes just to tweak one small code, let alone graphics can really take a long time.

Even though I don't use Diamond theme anymore. I see a lot of people are still crazy about it. I don't mean to step on your toe when releasing all these weather graphics, and different layouts. I think they are just compliments to your theme.

Well, it's been fun working on the weather graphics. I just want to stop by and thank you for your hard work.

Take care.
