Hmm... Maybe someone could make the appropriate files for me? I can make the cab myself, but if you are willing to do that to, I'd appreciate it that much more.

This is what I am looking for:

Exactly like the Diamond Theme from Greatbal, but I want only these tabs:

- The first tab to include the HTC TouchPro Clock / Also the same icons as the default theme that are along the top of the screen (Connections).

- The second tab to be strictly a calendar and appointment screen, with the Calendar to be controled via Spb Mobile Shell Options.

- The third tab to be Start Menu, with only My Menu, Programs, Settings, Tools, Messaging, Organizer, Backlight in center.

- The last tab to be Weather, just like the Diamond 2.1 GreatBal Theme.

I would like the navigation to be between the Calendar, the Start Menu, and then back to the Main Now Screen.

- Weather icons to be the 2.1 Diamond Theme/Touch Pro TouchFlo3D

- Highlighting to be the Green, when you are selecting an item.

I would really love it if you could go ahead and make two, one for VGA, and one for QVGA. QVGA is more important, but will soon be getting a VGA device, and would really appreciate being able to have this theme there on that new device, as well.

I'll buy you a cup of coffee, if you can make this a dream come true for me. :rolleyes:

Or, as have been discussed, I will go ahead and donate to a charity that you wish, that accepts Paypal. I don't have any funds right now, just money in a paypal account.

BTW, Thanks to the Skin Gurus in this area, that make it possible for so many custom themes. I have been trying to pull my weight around with Spb, and get them to support more skinners and make this process easier, but they said in a future release, they plan on adding better skin support.

Ah.. S2U does support fully GIF's, I just never thought of trying it in Spb MS, but thought that it actually had to be in a certain format, to even work properly, with GIF not being that format.
[Windows Mobile Themes] drew2000:
Gif only used in s2u2

The gif file was used only in s2u2 but the first frame of the gif is the screen capture used for the today screen and the s2p. Keith Dupont made a background file for spb ms for me (qp_bkg_now.dat) using the same screen capture not the gif. Sorry if there was any confusion. When the gif file plays in s2u2 the screen capture is the first frame that you will see. Not a bad view I might say...later.

Quick Question from a Noob

This is actually my first post here at XDA...Hello. I've been reading a lot and really wanna thank you guys for making SPB all it can be. Anyway, I've been modding the diamond theme, and can't seem to find which .dat file the back and forward buttons (when scrolling thru the programs pages, for example) are located in. I found what looked just like them in the bkg.dat, but when I changed it's color it didn't show up (there was an "m" in the name so it must be a mask anyway). Help!
[Windows Mobile Themes] greatbal:
you're on the right track. You found the mask. :)

just edit the mask and the corresponding bitmap.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dorenda:
Will these themes work on a Palm Treo 700w?:confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] cybernec:
thanks for the answer. Do you know if there is some other file that i should copy to fix the clock's position? It is not placed in the center but in the right side of the screen.
[Windows Mobile Themes] greatbal:
to edit the items'locations, you can edit the xml files in qa_layouts.dat, which is the "heart" of the theme. Good luck. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] cybernec:
Opening .dat and .xml files is as far as i can go with my skills. I would be greatfull if you could advice me which lines in which xml should be edited.

Thanks in advance

hello. i just installed this theme and its awesome.

but can i ask some questions? why if i replace the wallpaper to aurora theme which i got from the optional files and the aurora doesnt show up?

and how do i make this application auto launch? thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Themes] greatbal:
1) You have to re-launch Mobile Shell (close/kill using a good TaskManager). Or, better yet, soft reset your device.

2) You can try spbwatcher. Just do a search.

Hello Greatbal,

I downloaded and extract the files like you've said, but I couldn't get spb to run. When I tapped on the spb menu icon, nothing happened. I'm running spb mobile shell 2.1.2. Please help. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] lifes2short:
Hi Greatbal! Great design work. Need to ask just a quick and possibly stupid question (actually 2 questions). :o

Does this skin require that Manila 2D be installed or is that just a reference to the style of the skin?

What screen resolutions does this skin support? (Square screen or WQVGA)?

Thanks for the great work!
[Windows Mobile Themes] farukb:
no need for manila 2d

you must have spb mobile shell 2.1

it doesn't support wqvga
[Windows Mobile Themes] jmorton10:
I can probably answer that. It is a Mobile Shell theme that just looks like M2D.

It is for QVGA if I'm not mistaken.....

~John
[Windows Mobile Themes] -haze-:
wrong thread. Oops.
[Windows Mobile Themes] lifes2short:
@farukb & jmorton10: Thanks for the quick replies. :D Do either of you (or anyone) know if square screen qvga is supported? I'm going to install any way, but wondered if there might be an issue with icon size or spacing... (it sucks to be unable to upgrade devices yet). Any issues with SPB MS 2.1.2 version?
[Windows Mobile Themes] lifes2short:
Last question (I swear :o ), Greatbal's instructions say to drop the extracted files directly into the Mobile Shell directory which forces the original MS files to be overwritten. When I followed this, and after soft resetting, the only result I got was a completely black screen when MS was active. I could 'X' out of it, but MS was really fouled in some way.

Should these files be dropped into the Mobile Shell -> Themes folder instead? Thanks for the help! :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] LaazRockit:
Hello,

This is my first post on this forum, even if already follow it for a while. First of all, let me thank you all for the great work you do here.

I have a HTC Cruise, and downloaded these skins for the SPB Shell. They look GREAT!! Everything is running well, except for some minor issues, as the screenshots attached shows. First issue, is my operator name goes over the other icons on the upper bar. So I ask, if it is possible to push my operator name more on the left side, and how to do it? Other issue, is that a parte of an image (I don't know which) is appearing bellow the sound icon. How do I take it off? Is that possible to change program icons, in order they look like those in main shell? If so, where to find them, and how to install'em?

Thank you for the good work you're doing here.

Omnia...

Im assuming this doesnt work with the omnia yet? or am i wrong? I installed MS2.1 and extracted the contents of 'Layout A' to my program files > SPB mobile shell, replaced the original files that were there. Soft reset my omnia and found once reloaded the spb menu icon wouldnt work so i presume either it doesnt support omina or theres something im missing out. Iv read through the posts but not really found anybody who have tried this and got it working on an omnia.

Is it possible that the correct fonts files are not included in your version, which is causing the formatting issues? That wouldn't explain the problems with hardware buttons, but thought it might help to track down the culprits. Nice work, nonetheless. :)

if you end up making a layout F on your new version 1.2, please check that the touch area of the profile button. on the version 1.1 it seems really small and hard to hit or activate with fingers, i suggest you make the touch area a little bigger please.
