formula84, first off I posted that update for you.

To get the backlight onto your launcher page look at post #422 of this thread. See if it works for backlight. It will if you know the path for it. I would work on it but don't have much time now and no need for it.

As far as getting rid of the contact pages, that in itself shouldn't be that hard. But that change would effect so many other changes to accomadte it.

With the way it's laid out, this theme would need MAJOR revisions. What would you do with the other 2 tabs? It's not like the the themes that have one tab, where you scroll to the rest. I guess what I'm saying is that your preferences would make for a whole different theme, once it's done.

I say this in a very positive way, have you considered other themes to meet your preferences.

If you switch to one of Geatbal's previous themes, what would you actually miss? You can still have the look you want with little modification.

new link to contact tab

Hi there ...

there a many threads asking if you can change the link of the contacts and sms button in the home screen

but I couldn't find an answer to this.

perhaps anybody can tell me if it is possible.

if it is, what is the trick ?

you're all doing a very good job here ....

keep it on ...

Thank you for the Mod and helpful info, I will look into the previous post. I guess the reason I want to do my Mods to the V2 theme Is because i like the Home/Main setup Home is perfect with your weather mods, but for the Main I really don't need three pages of contacts as it eats up memory and I only have 64mb. Along with the MRU I only use the backlight control. My Idea would be to remove the tabs all together.
[Windows Mobile Themes] formula84:
What did you read to learn how to change the contacts to 4x3? I really want to do this ( 3x3 ) with the v2 theme.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jakub_w:
how do i update the weather manually? when i click near the "last updated" area it takes me back to the time/home screen.

if i added a contact in a spot, how do i remove that contact?

and lastly, how do i make the email icon point directly to windows live, not outlook?

excellent looking program!

bro! no problem! If you get to come to Makati....PM me first so we could meet and buy you some beers (or coffee, depends on the time of the day hehe) !
[Windows Mobile Themes] smittyofdhs:
1. It's suppose to retrun you to the home tab, check back after a few minutes and the weather should be updated.

2. tap-n-hold the contact, and you will get a menu with options including "remove'.

3. You can't force to windows live, it will always go to Outlook Email which is tied together to ActiveSync or your Exchange account.

I HOPE someday I will have a VGA device also...

[Windows Mobile Themes] greatbal:
1) Clicking update will indeed bring you back to the Now Screen. Don't worry, it's updating. Just be patient.:)

2) Tap-and-hold on a contact picture. This will reveal a pop-up window with options like removing or replacing a contact.

3) A lot of people have been asking that. I too don't have a clue on how to do that... yet.

And oh, this is just a theme, not a program. :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] gagaza:
Hey ya'll take a look

Someone will probably agree with you and create a theme that's just right for you. If not, one that's close enough to where you could do the rest. Thanks for taking my input as intended, constructive.

formula84, I think as far as your wanting a backlight shortcut, I might have the solution. Useing an mru button that isn't in an mru page. I actually think that it will interest many people. Check it out people.:)

I have managed to edit the launcher.xml and replaced the "m8" with "r0" which is the backlight and this worked so this has been my first official mod to a layout...lol I am interested in how you got it on the now screen can you please provide instructions?
[Windows Mobile Themes] gagaza:
Congratulations on your first mod. Nicely done, that is the simplest way to go.

I'm very happy that you are gonna do it. Please share when you are done. I really think that this will be a very popular mod.

[Windows Mobile Themes] davesurfer:
Good point about the Previous Call History, usually I have to hit the green phone hard button and then press the history button. OK, so just take out the text messaging and email then :)

I NEVER use text messaging as I'm a business operator and that's not a part of my day-to-day phone transactions. I check all my email from my home computer and again, don't have email setup or need it on my phone.

Other ppl have different needs...I guess a lot of teenagers and teenie-boppers need quick access to text messaging but, a lot of us older folks who don't txt message 24/7 don't need it at all.

Anyways...replacing those two would be good as an alternate Layout option, and replacing them with say MRU and Contacts. Contacts and MRU now takes two steps to get to (MAIN...MRU & MAIN...CONTACTS 1,2 or 3)
[Windows Mobile Themes] davesurfer:
azzambm, I'm still enjoying your "Green Leaf" mod! Very cool!

I've noticed that you did (I'm sure it was you) the blue electric theme with the Program icons squares transparent as you see in the pic below. Could you do that for the "Green Leaf" theme too? Also, if they could be transparent on the MRU program pages that would be totally sweet.

ps, noticed that the text titles sort of run into the transparent icons a bit

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] azzambm:
I've pointed to that in a previous post...

but here u go:

- Extract files from qp_bkg_now.dat

I am currently using Greatbal version 1.2 MS with some minor modifications I did myself.

Day and Night Weather Icon setup

@Formula84.. and everyone here..

I Likes the weather mix up you have.. (see pm) I did do this mix up before but only with V1, have not been able to do it with the new V2 that Greatbal has created.. A nice touch would be is to leave the Big Weather Icons (Day time non Samurai) and replace the small bottom Day Samurai Icons into the new Night Samurai Version 1.4, then we can all have Day and Night setup..!

This would be the best mix to do... Some one should give it a try then we can all truly have day and night weather icons.. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] GODZSON:
I've got mine in all caps and seems well with space and no over hanging.. to change use reg editor, a solution.. and friendly thought.
[Windows Mobile Themes] gagaza:
Three Mods Two options

This modified layout has:

1) An MRU button added to the home screen. You can choose which program you want to put their. Use it as you would any other mru. It will duplicate the second one on your mru page. If you pin it, will stay the same.

2) On the time screen I have a full calendar page that shows my different cities, appointments, and alarms. The usual top info bar, status and weather icons, and an alarm icon, for when you have no pending alarms listed. They all bring you to their respective programs when pressed.

3) I redid the weather screen using my favorite weather icons. Thanks to BeyondInvisible and ahmedfikry. I used there stuff to make my stuff. And of course thanks to Greatbal for this great theme.

Both pages are in portrait and landscape.

Important note: They both don’t have back buttons. You just gesture to the right to go back.

Removing them is what gave me the idea to fill the gaps. I never would have thought to add what I did had they worked properly. Please don’t bother asking me to put them in.

This folder contains two qa_layouts and the weather icons. The default layout with MRU and the layout with the MRU, Time and Weather pages. Do not copy the weather.dats to you folder if you install the default layout.

You must have Greatbal’s MS2.1 Diamond Theme version 2.0 already installed.

As usual back-up, uzip folder and copy qa_layouts.dat into spb folder.

Is it possible to switch off clock on Today in Spb in this theme by greatbal? If yes - how?

Thanks in advance for a quick answers!
[Windows Mobile Themes] gofawkurself:
updated weather

anyone know if the spb weather program when used with mobile shell, updates the the current weather image like htc weather does?

IE - when its night time it shows the moon instead of the mid day weather? im so tired of seeing a picture of a sun all day long even it its day or night in California that's all we get mid day around here
[Windows Mobile Themes] formula84:
Thanks man I gave up last night to get some sleep and have been at work all day, I sucessfully removed the extra contact pages and mru as I wanted, but after trying the MRU on the now screen I got a black page (problem with my adjustments) I was going to work on it when i got home but now I dont have to! thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtstmp:
weather

no it doesn't :( it's a limitation of spb weather. the program only gives you the current FORECAST, not current conditions. you won't get a night icon or the current temp. i've read extensively on it, cause i wanted the same thing. sucks to be us i guess!
[Windows Mobile Themes] carl99:
1, I tried to get rid of the calender (1-4 week depending on settings) at the now screen and on the calender screen. If I set it to "not to show" the phone hangs if there is more than 4 calender entries on the calendar page and I go to that page. If I select "auto" it disappears from the first page and show 2 calendar entries but force the calender page to only show the first 3 entries and a 3-week-calender. If I select "1 week" it shows 4 entries on the calendar page but it will show one week on the now-page and just one calendar entry. I want to maximize the number of calendar entries in both pages ...

2, if I select "auto" for the alarm, how can I set the alarm then? Could it be done by adding an alarm button at the right bottom in the calender page? I know that I can set the alarm to "show always" but then I have an entry even if I don't have any alarm.

3, is it possible to add a glow effect for the other icons when selected in the bottom bar as the weather icon?

4, the "soft keys" at the bottom with text on it (Main, Back etc), are these graphic or text? I want to translate them to other than english and just tried to add the translation in the txt file but no success ...

Day and Night Weather Icon setup Idea

An Idea for all to try! Day to Night qa_weather_big.dat application switcher

As I previously stated.. with more thought into it. A nice touch would be is to have the normal Big.Dat Weather Icons and replace the small.dat weather at the bottom that would also be Day weather Icons into the new Night Samurai Version 1.4 (that was nicely done), then we can all have Day and Night setup..

Better yet maybe make an application/mortscript where it switches the qa_weather_big.dat files at a certain time let's say 5pm, and switches it to Night weather dat files.. Well GreatBal, Azzambm, AC or any other creative mind should take a try to this one.. They're creativity have been outstanding achievements here in XDA.. This would really be a nice feature.. Any one intrested..? :)

It's a good idea but I think it will not work cause the script will just replace/copy the files at a certaint time, but you will still need to reboot before the changes will take effect and will be visible.

Amazing design, congratulations on the 2.0 version!

I have a few remarks though :

- It doesn't show alarm notifications

- The icons on top for wireless, gsm reception aren't clickable anymore. I've always used these icons as shortcuts for my connection settings.

I've searched the forum but I couldn't find any solutions. Are there any?

[Windows Mobile Themes] formula84:
Sorry I think the most you can do is not have a background to the icon, currently a black box behind the mru but the program icon is what gets displayed, so i don't think there is anyway to do this unless you know of a way to modify the actual prog icon for the whole device.
[Windows Mobile Themes] gagaza:
I never saw that question. Still can't see where it's posted. Anyway it is possible if someone can provide a small enough one. I haven't looked around for one and I don't have photoshop.

The smallest I've seen is the one that is on ahmedfiry's contact page. Same size as the one around the backlight icon. No room for that on Diamond V2.

@ all that appreciate my contributions. Thanks, hope they are useful.

It's Possible.. :)

@ Greatbal and other creator's, or Gagaza

I've noticed that by changing qa_weather_big.dat in SPB folder it changes in the screen without without having to reset the phone.. So will any one be looking into this to make this possible.. and the next version.. How bout it GB?
[Windows Mobile Themes] dinoalbert:
bro, I want my calendar and weather to look like yours.....as well as the MRU (psShutXP) in the Main screen.

In your attachment, there are 2 qa_layouts.dat ......one in Defaukt folder and another in MRU_Weather_Time folder

which one should I use?

thanks....
[Windows Mobile Themes] gagaza:
Oops I mislabled. Default(Defaukt). Is Greatbal's theme with the MRU only.

The other one has what it says. That's the one you want. SPB refers to that page as the time page. Many here tend to call it the calendar page.

Remember to copy over all the weather.dats. They are different than my first post.

Right before I left I saw a post regarding glossy mrus. Guess what I was thinking about during dinner.

Any way I just stepped in the door. I'm gonna try something. Be right back.

I hope I'm right.
[Windows Mobile Themes] gagaza:
Glossy MRU

Glossy mru's are possible. I think Greatbal made them popular with his Gsmart theme.

Godzson, Gsmart is where I first saw your and formula84's menu buttons. That theme also has the mru's. I went and got them.

I think it turned out nice. Resizing has limitations. If you go to small it cuts off the rounded corners and looks bad.

It’s bigger than I initially wanted. But I think that I found a nice home for it. It matches the size of the icons on the MRU page.

I just came across a limitation. For it to work you need a qp_bkg_now.dat that has the transparent MRU background files.

It’s only three files that you put into that qp_bkg_now.dat file. I already have them extracted and people can just open their .dat file and put them in.

All it does is make your mrus look glossy. It only takes a second to do. I can even provide the few that I already did. I just think that theirs too many people out their that won't get it.

The layouts are ready. I'm just really hesitant to upload. I'm afraid of this thread getting bombarded with, "Hey, gagaza why is there a black box on the corner of my screen, it still works, but why is it just a black box....." I dunno, I might just erase this post when I wake up.

@gagaza, thanks! I got it now. Nice modification indeed

however, in the weather page...I wish to have that previous version's "Back" button instead of the "Last Updated" (see attached).

Or tell me how to go back to the Main page if Im from the weather page? I know tapping on the "refresh" icon will send me back to the main page.....but I dont want my device to automatically connect to the internet to update the weather. I only update when Im connected via Active Sync.

Or please tell me which file I could copy back so I could get the weather page I want (see attached)....but with tapping on the Back button (or the left softkey), it brings me to the Main page?

Any tips, bro?

Thanks...
