3G icon

Hello,

I am using the wonderful Greatbal's Diamond Theme v2.1 and I am a little problem on my P3600 WM5.

As you can see in the attached thumbnail, there is the little "3G" icon on the phone icon even if my PPC is not connected to internet.

Anyone has the same problem? thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Themes] contentryder:

Is it possible to have the screen look like this with just the links to call history and calendar like show in yellow but with the diamond looking background? Any help would be appreciated!
[Windows Mobile Themes] JukEboXAuDiO:
Quick question.

Check out attached picture. Anyway to fix the speaker and SD card at the top? or do I just have a bad version?
[Windows Mobile Themes] shylohmonster:
I see this question a lot. Dunno if this is the actual solution, but I found that the first item on the MRU automatically appears. Is that true? Either way, it's a work around that I really enjoy. I pinned the first item as iContact and have instant access without using any hard buttons.

btw Greatbal, dunno if I already thanked you for this magnificent skin. People who see my phone in action (espially new WM users) are quite impressed. So THANKS!
[Windows Mobile Themes] scorpion66:
Yep I noticed this and seemed to get more lock ups as well as slow downs on my Touch Enhanced. I went back to the v1.2 theme and prefer it anyway. Seems much faster. Maybe newest is not always the best?

Hi!

Planing of installing the new 2.1.2 Mobile Shell, but i have an edited (translated) version and what files must i backup to install the new 2.1.2?

Is it ok to just backup all the .dat files and copy them back when the new version is installed?

First, I must say that you have done an outstanding job!!!!!!!!!!

I was just about to purchase SPB Mobile shell to prepare for my purchase of the Omnia, as I really hate the TouchWiz interface and I am pretty jealous of TouchFlo. Obviously, I was going to add in your outstanding theme until I read that it doesn't support WQVGA! :( Hook us up with a version for WQVGA my man....

[Windows Mobile Themes] shad0w77:
Sure does! You can thank mtkates for starting a thread about MS 2.X's compatibility with custom themes on SPB 's website and the many others who chimed in over there. They fixed MS just for us!

The original SPB MS does have only 3 tabs...

From "howto" I understood that the dat file does the trick?

So no option (from original SW) to add new tab? :confused:

[Windows Mobile Themes] maxdamage2122:
Does anybody know of a way to always show the entire start menu bar at the top? I'm not looking for the actual start menu but the entire bar. I am using the aim client and its notifications are placed on this bar and i never know when i receive a message.
[Windows Mobile Themes] nu_D:
I did read it and I am well aware of that fact. I was not asking if it works with WQVGA, my question was if there was anyway to make it work with WQVGA. Hence, my question implies that it does not work, or else why would I be asking if there is anyway to make it work...

So my question still stands- is there anyway to make it work with WQVGA? Basically, what would need to be done in order for it to be compatible? The Omnia seems all the rage these days and for such an amazing theme to be incompatible with it seems like a shame...

Oh and by the way, is SPB compatible with the WQVGA?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtkates:
To see if Mobile Shell is compatible, install the free trial on your phone and see if it works. I don't have a WQVGA screen so I can't test it for you.

If the Omnia is all the rage, then it shouldn't be long before a skinner has one and starts making skins for it. I could probably do it myself, but I can't see the benefit of spending weeks on rewriting the skin for WQVGA when I won't be able to use it when I am done.

I am using a QVGA device currently and that is what I make skins for. I am trying to add VGA to my skins because I am planning on getting a VGA device soon. Like I said, if the Omnia is all the rage, then have patience, skins will be made for it (if MS works on it, which I think it does).

[Windows Mobile Themes] Ph33zy:
is it possible to make the missed call button on the home screen launch your contact manager?
[Windows Mobile Themes] davesurfer:
Just a few things I'd personally like as a business user:

1. The Home and Main buttons on the home page are great, it's just that when I'm on the Home page I don't need the Home button; it would be great if while on the Home page the Home button is changed to the Contacts button which is extremely handy for quickly adding or finding contacts. Otherwise to add contacts I have to do these tedious steps, 1. click the Main button 2. Click the VIP hotdial contacts button 3. Click the address card looking button to go to contacts.

2. Eliminate the Mail icon as I don't recieve email on my phone.

3. Eliminate the text message icon as I don't recieve text messages being a business user and not using the phone for personal reasons.

4. These icons on the home page listed in 2. and 3. can be replaced with the PhotoDial Contacts button, a voicemail button.

5. Replace the missed calls button with a call history button when there are no missed calls; If there are missed calls than the call history button changes to the missed calls button with a number notification of how many missed calls.

6. Finally put the MRU on the homepage replacing the weather icon.

If someone could do even a few of these things on greatbal's theme that would be totally appreciated and much thanks! I'm a business user which values quick access to contacts and programs instead of the frills like weather, sms and having 3 pages of photo dial contacts :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] maxdamage2122:
a lot of what you are asking for is on v1.2 found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=402021

check it out first
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtkates:
And pretty much everything else you are asking is not possible. The e-mail, sms, missed calls, voicemail icons all work under the same class as a set and cannot be changed to do something else. It is hard coded into the program and you either get them all or none of them.
[Windows Mobile Themes] davesurfer:
Yes, but unfortunetly the 1.2 didn't have upcoming appointments and events on the home page which is extremely important for someone like me who has 6-8 meetings or appointments a day.

That is why I first went with mtkates' Field theme because he had put the appts. on the home page.
[Windows Mobile Themes] davesurfer:
I see. So I guess what I should be requesting is not dynamically changing icons depending on the situation but replacing the icons that I don't need permanently: so, basically I need the MRU, speed dial contacts, and phone history on the home page. Weather, mail and text messaging can be removed permanently.
[Windows Mobile Themes] davesurfer:
Start menu icon?

For example, when I click on the "last updated" section of the Weather my the top bar area of the phone will flash the start menu button and the connection dialog and then disappear again.

I remember seeing some information on how to enable the start button on the top left corner of the top bar but after searching for ages on this huge thread I couldn't find it.

Could someone point to where the instructions were? Thanks alot!!! :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtkates:
For Start Menu instructions, see post #1172 in this thread.

Changing default SMS prog

Hi guys, thanks a lot for all the hard work. Not asking for any changes to development, but curious if there's any way to adjust the program being fired from some of the default functions.

For instance, I have a 3rd party app I like to use for SMS; is there a program path specified in some setting file that I could edit to have the home page SMS icon use this prog, instead of WM6's default?

Thanks!

[Windows Mobile Themes] mtkates:
The is a feature that so many of us would like to see, but it is hard coded into the program. I suggest heading over to spbclub.com and submit a request in the forum. Sometimes SPB actually reads them and make the changes, but don't expect immediate action. This request has been ongoing.
[Windows Mobile Themes] gofawkurself:
what, if any.. would be a reason they would not want to listen to the vast amount of people requesting such a thing? is the cost or resources to change the coding? I just figured if i was a business I would listen to the customers requests as they pile up.

Personally id love to incorporate 3rd party apps for weather and what not.
[Windows Mobile Themes] shad0w77:
mtkates, Not sure if this is possible due to the layering of the plugins, but here it goes...

Instead of using MS's Email/SMS/Call History functionality on the Now Screen, is it possible to remove the icons, keep the status counter, and put MRUs in that spot (especially for SMS)? This way, even though you cannot change MS's default SMS program, we can pin an MRU to our favorite threaded SMS apps.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtkates:
That may work, but might have a conflict with the icon hotspots that launch a program. I order to have the status count, you have to have the icons. You can make the icons 100% transparent so that you don't see them, but you still get the hot spot, and you will have a second hotspot for the MRU icon. When I get some free time I'll try that out.
[Windows Mobile Themes] shad0w77:
Awsome. Sounds like a plan.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtkates:
The only thing I can figure is that they are working to make their software play nice with Mobile Shell (SPB Weather, Diary, etc.) so they can sell more software. They do offer an API for makers of other software to code their program to work with MS, but I believe they sell that API. I have made several attempts at contacting SPB about the API and was only given an example of how the API works and no information on how to get it.

Hopefully they will wake up and do something about it for the user, but discussing it here will have no effect on their decision because they do not monitor this forum, they do however monitor the forums at spbclub.com and do take at least some suggestions seriously. I started a thread there just after MS v2.1.1 was released and after a quick beta period they are now at v2.1.2 which not only plays nicer with custom skins, but also added All Day events, a feature that others at the spb forum have been asking for.

Yes, you have to choose. Big icon on Now screen or small icon on Today screen.

If you want to go back to the large icons for the Today screen and remove it from the Now screen, you can edit LockScreen.xml inside qa_layouts.dat to remove the reference to "Profiles".

Total noob here, so please be gentle. First, incredible work! I would like to integrate a HTC DIAMONG theme into my touch. I have SPB Shell 2.0. My first question is where to I start? Second, as crazy as this may sound I need to have a lock button on the screen. Does this theme support that? Thanks in advance!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Shep:
Thanks

Just wanted to say thanks - got it figured out. Start button active :)

[Windows Mobile Themes] mtkates:
First thing you need to do is upgrade to Mobile Shell v2.1 or v2.1.2(newest) then decide which Diamond skin you want.

Just a question. Why do you need a lock button on screen? I am a Touch user and I just hit the button on top. Just curious. If you install Diamond v2.1 then you will have an icon in the upper left that you can use as a lock button or any Diamond version with an MRU page can have a lock button there.

You're welcome Shep, glad it works for you.
[Windows Mobile Themes] sandman512:
Thanks for the reply. I think I am so used to the LOCk button, that's why i wanted to have one. I might as well ask, where would I start for a DIAMOND THEME?

Install Mobile Shell 2.1 or 2.1.2

Go to the post below.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2461500#post2461500

Download from the link on that post.

Unzip the files onto your computer.

Synch your phone with your computer.

Browse your phone to open Program Files\SPB Mobile Shell.

From the Default folder of the Diamond skin download, transfer all files to your Mobile Shell folder and overwrite all.

Soft reset your phone.

Play with your new skin until you have questions.

Read this thread, especially the first few posts by greatbal and all the updated version posts he links to.

If you still have questions, search this forum.

If you still don't find your answer, post your question here.

Ignore the optional files until you are more familiar with this process.

Enjoy.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtkates:
Mobile Shell and WeatherPanel have not been programed to work together, so as far as I can tell, no on the first question.

I'm sure there will be animated Mobile Shell skins in the future, IF SPB decides to support animation. Until they do, it is not possible.
