Thanks

I'll test this one and let you know.

I thought that it was easy to make it and to get the comm man as real diamond Theme

anyway thanks a lot
[Windows Mobile Themes] greatbal:
Thanks!

You spent so much time and effort on doing this update. I know how time-consuming Mobile Shell skinning is. Please post it here. Credit goes to you. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtkates:
Landscape Is Here!

This skin will ONLY work with QVGA 240x320 devices.

It will NOT work with the Diamond, Omnia, 800w, etc...

Version 2.1 of greatbal's Diamond theme for SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 (including v2.1.2) now includes landscape support and an MRU on the Now screen for use as a start menu (start menu icon also included), or for whatever other program you want. All the original options are also included.

Also included is a 10th launcher item. You can now have Games, My Menu, and Running Apps in landscape mode. My Menu and Running Apps will share the same icon though. I could not find a way to make them different.

Due to putting the taskbar on the bottom and streching out the status icons, there is a slight glitch in the status highlighting, but it's pretty minor in my opinion so I decided not to stress my self out trying to fix it. It's not that bad.

I also had to reduce the number of appointments that will display on the now screen. I probably could have squished things together a little tighter, but I wanted to keep the great look of this theme as much as possible.

For instructions on setting up a start menu, see post 1172. Do NOT install the files from that post if using Diamond v2.1. All the necessary files are already installed in this version. (Thanks jeffrey2000).

Warning: Mods that were made prior to this release may need to be re-modified or you may loose landscape support.

If you are having problems with the layout or icon hotspots, please check your Mobile Shell version. This skin works best with version 2.1, but also works with 2.1.2. If you are using v1, v2.0, or v2.1.1, you are going to have problems.

Enjoy!

This is BEAUTIFUL, and the landscape is awesome!! THANK YOU for your hard work - this theme is perfect!

I'm still having the problem with the custom icon using the SPB Phone Suite (I used the file included with 2.0 to overwrite the original) - under the custom icon there's a shadow or something underneath it (see pics). This only happens when the custom profile is selected - all the other profiles the icon is fine! Is anyone else having this problem and know how to fix?
[Windows Mobile Themes] chino331:
Start Menu!! :D

I got my start menu now! wooooooo hoooooo! :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtkates:
Glad you like it. I have tried several times to recreate the problem you are having with the custom icon on my phone and I still cannot duplicate what is happening on your phone. That is really weird.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jbh00jh:
Yeah , I'm having the same problem,I have the notifications icon

in the same place, looks bad ,out of place!!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] chino331:
Yeah it is weird! I thought maybe the Phone Suite file I had was corrupt somehow so I downloaded again and still the same thing... And I've tried numerous hard resets and I still end up with the same result. IDK what's causing it. Oh, I don't know what happened, but landscape seemed to have stop working? The only thing I did was add the files for the start menu from post 1172... any suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtkates:
Try reinstalling the Diamond v2.1 theme. All the files for the start menu are already included with this version. You don't have to install anything else, just follow the setup instructions on post 1172. Do not install files from that post.

IN VGA FOr HTC DIAMOND

IT'S possible ????

[Windows Mobile Themes] mtkates:
It is possible but since the graphics were done for QVGA, they will look pixilated and/or blurry after resizing them for VGA.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jbh00jh:
Start Icon

Have reinstalled 2.1 landscape 6 times and still have a Sounds & notifications

icon where the Start Icon is supposed to be. When you click on it you get

sounds and notifications , not the start menu . Evidently the menu file in the

download is corrupt or mislabeled.:mad:
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtkates:
The start menu has to be set up according to the instructions in post 1172. Your Sounds & Notifications icon is there because that is your #2 MRU. It has to be changed manually according to jeffrey2000's instructions if you want start menu, otherwise it will just stay as whatever your #2 MRU is.
[Windows Mobile Themes] greatbal:
mtkates,

good work on the landscape layout. :)

IMHO, the minor glitch on the status icon is not much of a problem. But if I find the time, I'll fix it for you. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] chino331:
Could it be the version of the SPB Phone Suite? I'm using Version 1.2.0, Build 1409. Are you using a different version?

Oh I also got landscape working again - thank you! I did notice 1 thing though - the text at the end of the alarm notification gets cut off, can this be fixed? This happens on both portrait and landscape.

I would like to make a donation to you and greatbal for such awesome work! Please PM me with an email address so I donate something through PayPal!

***sorry for the excessive screenshots, but I just figured out how to do them and I'm screenshot happy! lol :D***
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtkates:
I am using Phone Suite Version 1.3.0, Build 1559.

As for the alarm text getting cut off, it can be fixed by moving it over to the left, but I think that was a design choice greatbal made to have a more centered look and I agreed with that. It didn't look quite right to me to have it off to the left.

I cannot speak for greatbal, but if you would like to donate to me, please find a charity in your area and donate the money to them. I do this as a hobby and for the challenge. Positive feedback is reward enough for me.
[Windows Mobile Themes] shad0w77:
Custom layout for mtkates Diamond 2.1

Hope you guys like these screenshots.

I removed the title to the screens, spaced out the MRUs, Porgrams, and SpeedDial icons in both landscape and portrait mode.

Also extended the clickable area for the Home screen start button to 50px. The icon isn't left justified, but figured I would live with it.

I attached the qa_layouts.dat too. Just backup and replace.
[Windows Mobile Themes] shad0w77:
And of course... thanks to mtkates and greatbal for this awsome theme. Thanks goes out to everyone else who have helped me tweak, tweak, and tweak some more with their own contributions!
[Windows Mobile Themes] greatbal:
A lot of people are asking me how to donate. I often say a little thanks will do. But, I think I will take that back. And instead, I'll request everyone to donate to your church or local charity. Thanks for the idea mtkates! :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtkates:
You're welcome. Maybe through our efforts and the generosity of the users of our work, we can all help those in need. I can't think of a better reason to keep doing this!
[Windows Mobile Themes] IceManTX:
I'm going to stick my toe in the water and share some background images. I just took a couple of screen shots to give you an idea of what they look like. I've uploaded them in zip and cab format. I hope you like.

(I like the Dallas Cowboy one the best!)
[Windows Mobile Themes] JSnively:
Gagaza Thanks for the fix it worked perfect.

The only thing that Would look better would be to remove the Black bars and Page names from the top of the Calendar, Launcher, and Contact pages. But it is ok the way it is.

That is funny you just put this together this has been one of my favorite themes. I personally don't get the need for a MRU Page And I only use 1 contact page so this theme works great. I do like the 3 quick launch buttons I use them a lot.

Again Thanks for the fix on the Status Icons.

Also the Voice mail Icon is still missing but I found a fix for that. Which can be found here. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2190062&postcount=407
[Windows Mobile Themes] chino331:
omg... that version (it's the current version) of SPB Phone Suite fixed it! Imagine that :D Thank you - that was driving me crazy!

[Windows Mobile Themes] gofawkurself:
Good for you man! amazing work, I know how long it takes to do something like this and I'm glad someone took on the work load to create landscape and update this.

thank you.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Timb320:
Excellent work guys... This is why I love Windows Mobile So much :) Inovation to create is WIDE OPEN! :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtkates:
Go to Settings/System/Regional Settings and click the Time tab. Set the Time Style to H:mm:ss or HH:mm:ss and you will get 24 hour time.
[Windows Mobile Themes] chino331:
Ah I figured it out... got to go to: Start > Settings > system tab > Regional Settings > time tab > choose Time Style of HH:mm:ss

Now the alarm is showing military time and it's not being cut off! :D Is there a way to get the time to show military also? I can't seem to figure that out... for instance in the screenshot it's showing 02 02, and I want it to be showing 14 02. Is there a way to change this? Thank you! :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] chino331:
haha. I found it after you did but didn't realize it... thanks! lol
[Windows Mobile Themes] chino331:
Ah nvm! I figured that out also... I went into Clocks & Alarms and manually changed the 2 to a 14... now it's perfect! :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] ToddeSwe:
Hi!

Was very glad to see this solution to get a Start Menu BUT i have followed every step by step and several times but still no luck.

I get two results:

1. I get a working (Wisbar) start menu with the Lakeridge uggly icon.

2. I get a nice black start button that opens up an empty SPB page.

What am i doing wrong here?

Access Startmenu (Quickmenu) Inside Diamond theme [HOWTO]

First of all thanks to paulosot for the idea.

Here's what I did:

1. Downloaded & installed mtkates' Version 2.1 of greatbal's Diamond theme on post #1433 (Reboot).

2. Downloaded & installed Quickmenu 2.7 (found in xda forums) to Programs Folder on my Device.

3. Follow instructions from jeffery2000 (post #1172), beginning with Step 4. Yet instead of doing "my menu" -> "add" -> "menu", do "my menu" -> "add" -> "file" and select Quickmenu.exe [in my case, it's in the Programs Folder on device]. Change the icon to black WM image. Now follow Step 5.

5. When you click on the Start button on your Now Screen, Quickmenu will pop up! I love how I can now access my Startmenu inside greatbal's Diamond theme!

Notes:

-Thanks to jeffery2000 & others (you know who you are) for the Startbutton idea & instructions.

-You can edit the settings in Quickmenu so that it won't interfere with HTC X-button & disable their battery meter.

-Like mtkates said, all the necessary files are included in Diamond V2.1, so don't download the files in post #1172.

-My end result looks like the attached image in paulosot's post (post #1410)

This is just my contribution in appreciation to all the great ideas/themes that I've benefited from in this thread.

[Windows Mobile Themes] misterboy:
Hi!

I've download the .zip and extract the contents of Layout A,

and copy and overwrote the files in the Program Files > SPB Mobile Shell.

I've also overwrote the files in my SPB phone suite with the files in the "For Spb Phone User" folder.

When I did a soft reset and entered the Today screen, I found that I could not access my SPB Menu on the bottom right, so I did a soft reset. After which, the Omnia refuses to boot up from the NOW screen which appeared immediately after the Windows Mobile 6.1 Screen. Touching the NOW screen brings me to the UNLOCK screen, and when I click on the UNLOCK, nothing happens!

Am I doing something wrong? Please advise, thank you!

OEM Start Menu with SPB

My second post...wow this is getting addicting...for those who don't want to install Wisbar or another start menu program, along with the help of vjkeypress, I made the OEM start menu show up. This may have already been talked about, so forgive me if it has. The attached cab installs 4 files.

1. vjkeypress to \Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell

2. diamond.dll (icon resource pack)

3. zStart.lnk (start menu shortcut)

4. zLock.lnk (lock short cut)

The zStart.lnk basically call vjkeypress with 91 parameter. zLock.lnk calls S2U2. I only created a link for that, so I could use a different icon. After you install the cab, just pin the 2 links to your MRU. I used the layout additions in post 1200 (I think that's where it is at).

Thank you vijay for such a great option.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tylr:
2.1 CAB File

Version 2.1 looks great. Great to see the collaboration.

I've approached the "Start" button thing a little differently. Instead of installing another application, I made the start button point to "My Menu."

The CAB file attached will install version 2.1 with the following configuration:

Installs the default version 2.1 files in the mobile shell folder.

Adds the SPB Phone Suite file in the correct location.

Adds the correct font if needed.

Replaced the background with the optional WM7 color themed background.

Replaces the buttons with colored buttons.

Adds the registry settings for Games.

Adds the registry settings for Active Tasks.

Modifies the registry settings for "My Menu" by giving this menu the start button look.

After install (and reboot), you'll have to click and hold on the icon in the upper left corner of the "Now" screen and click on Manage Pins and ensure that "My Menu" is checked.

This is another way to get the look of the start button but use "My Menu" to launch the application. Just my 2 cents.

[Windows Mobile Themes] dinoalbert:
Hi tylr,

what do you mean version 2.1? Is this a modified version of greatbal's version 2.0? What does your cab do? Will it change everything considering I have various mods on greatbal's v2 setup on my device such as 2 mrus on Now screen, transparent mru, samurai weather and gagaza's calendar mod ?

Or will my current setup stay the same, except with the Start Menu, after I install your cab?

If it will change everything, can I restore my previous setup by restoring all backed up files in the SPB MS folder?

Thanks...
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtkates:
If you read back a few pages you will see that Diamond v2.1 was released to include landscape support. And yes, anything you changed in v2.0 will probably be removed if you update to v2.1 or if you install the cab by tylr.

Diamond ver2.1 can be found on post #1433.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dinoalbert:
yikes! I missed that version 2.1!

I always check the first page for new versions :)

thanks for the heads-up!

@gagaza,

will your modification (calendar and samurai weather, 2MRUs, glossy MRU) still work with greatbal's version 2.1? Also beyond's natural weather, will it work with this new version?

thanks.

Is it possible to change the icon and link on the first view, the one with the link to outlook/email? how can I do this?
[Windows Mobile Themes] gagaza:
dinoalbert, If I recall properly, BeyondInvisible, mentioned that he doesn’t use landscape, and doesn’t plan to support it. Though it woundn’t hurt to try to coax him into it. I believe his focus right now is animated weather icons, so don’t bug him too much.

The calendar probably isn’t gonna work with this layout. I might make one that is.

The glossy mru mod works on any background for any theme. The background just has to be appropriate to that theme. The problem is that there aren’t any landscape backgrounds yet for this lay out except the ones that come with it.

If you find any background that comes in portrait and landscape for Mobile Shell, it can very easily be converted to work for this theme and just as easily be made glossy.

As far as the second mru, that’s easy. Here ya go. You know what to do. Change from .zip to .dat

Hi Mtkates and offcourse Greatball

Thank you again for this beautifull version. I only have two questions:

1) Is it possible to make the Default Black Theme color selectable again? I have tried to modify it in Adobe. I need the same layer as in Greatballs MS2.1 Diamond Theme Version 1.2\Optional Files\Color Theme BG\Default Black. This layer is smaller than the Default Black in the newest version. I tried to resize the old layer, but I couldn't. It's not resizeable. Maybe you can tell me how to do that?

2) Is it possible to make the main tab and program icons Glossy again?

Thank you very much.

Hi All,

how the MRU icon could be changed ? :confused:

I would like to use as the MRU button in the Now page the 'Running App',

but it has no icon associated ... only the defualt 'exe' windows icon :(

I just finish to read all the 149 pages of this thread .. you are FANTASTIC :D

thanks in any case!

I have changed it on my today screen by: (see post #1467 )

1. Create an icon dll file with the icon in it you want.

2. Place the dll file on your PDA.

3. Use shortcut creator 2.0 to create a short cut to the desired program, associating it with the icon.

4. Place the icon in your Start Menu and then PIN that icon.

There may be another way but this is the easiest I know off.

[Windows Mobile Themes] mtkates:
There is not .cab for the Diamond theme because with all the different options available for the theme, there would have to be quite a few different .cabs.

Besides, if you just want the basic theme, it is really easy to install. Instead of moving a .cab onto your phone, running the .cab, and soft resetting your phone, just select all the files for the theme, move to the Mobile Shell folder, say yes to overwrite, soft reset.

I guess if you just want to be lazy, learn how to make your own .cab files. That's not hard either.
