dinoalbert, did you read the post on that page, regarding the download? I made some words in bold. I hated that button. I wasted a little time looking at fixing it, then decided that time would be best spent improving the layout. I don't have much time to waste.:)

Sure there's still room for it, and it worked ok if you pressed to the left of it. But it was an imperfection that bothered me.

I tried other weather pages, same problem. I had the same problem with the Time\Calendar page. Removing it from there had huge benefits. I actually think that page is more functional than the Now page.

Anyway to go back a page just gesture or swipe your finger to the right, just like most of these pages. To switch back to the previous layout just download the old file from the previous post and copy the qa-layouts and weather.dat files to your folder and reset.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dinoalbert:
my bad...sorry bro I didnt read that :)

thanks again...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Ph33zy:

[Windows Mobile Themes] loonsy:
Can someone help me with this? Would really like my hardware keys to be able to select home and main instead of having to tap the touch screen. TIA

My current Setup

Big Thx to GB, AZ,Gagaza,B.I. and everyone else for they're creativity..

Was able to setup a nice clean theme and now with a start button. Just need to do a clear MRU, and have the weather switch from am to pm with help of a programmer.. this would top the cake, well .. that's until the creativity continues.. Thanks again, Continue showing skillz.

One thing i'd like is the home buttons to hover over selected icons, instead of it fixed only on the home icon..
[Windows Mobile Themes] GODZSON:
You can use GB'z app to change the color's it's in the first post..
[Windows Mobile Themes] gofawkurself:
Wow, looks great man.

I see you've changed the carrier name to whatever you wanted. how do i remove the carier name completely?
[Windows Mobile Themes] GODZSON:
Sup Gagaza,

Yup this is nicely converted.. 1 question see my pic (my current theme post# 1102) do to your modificatin I was able to make a start button with apps I wanted, now if you do upload the MRU menu gloss icons.. will my start button have the glossy icon as your power button does, dont know if it'll look good If it has the glossy effect around the start button, everything else in mru would looks great.
[Windows Mobile Themes] GODZSON:
Use this app, when you get into app to place a name.. just leave blank and save. Thanks for the compliment this compliment goes out to everyone that made it possible though. GB (Diamond Theme), AZ (Background Theme), B.I. (Weather Theme), Gagaza (Modifications) and every one who has also put into their own creativity.. and most of all their fellowship.
[Windows Mobile Themes] gofawkurself:
that was fast.

thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Themes] j0sefK:
I love that!!!! How did you do it (I mean, the start button at the top left)? Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] GODZSON:
Start Menu Button

This is do to Gagaza's modification.. and began to think on adding a start button, I ended up with this.

1) Start in (SPB) settings, select customize menu, highlight tools.

2) Now to begin select menu on bottom right, then add-> menu..

3) Choose the icon you desire and name it.

4) Then once done open tools (still in customize menu) go to the menu/icon you've created..

5) Highlight then select menu at bottom right and click on add->file. Now you can select any files you want. (I've chosen File Explorer, Skyfire, Dashwire and Sprite Backup)

6) Once all this is done then you go to MRU 2nd app (left to right 1st row) and Manage Pin to your created menu/icon.

7) Then load the modification gagaza has created and your good to go! (You can do this first also)

Enjoy..! :)

Let the creativity and fellowship continue...

Once again creating my theme has credits to GB,AZ,BI,GZ and other's.
[Windows Mobile Themes] GODZSON:
Your welcome :) continue enjoying the creativity..
[Windows Mobile Themes] gagaza:
To be more clear I'de like to explain that there are two separate mods. First modding your background to enable mrus to look glossy.

This will affect only your mru page.

Second is to modify your qa_layout to make the mru on the now screen glossy. You can do the first without having to do the second.

But you can’t do the second without doing the first.

I think it'll look good. If you look at my pic you'll see that active sync and spb theme icons are round. It will give the same effect as those.

I think the problem might be that it will run into the first, maybe second character of your carrier name.

If you want, upload your qp_bkg_now.dat and I will edit it for you. It will make your mrus on your MRU page glossy, but not the one on your now screen.

That should help you get closer to completeing your theme.

@ formula84 this upload is for you. This folder includes the qa_layout.dat that gives you the glossy mru, weather and calender mods.

It also includes the qp_bkg_now.dat that is required to make the now screen mru glossy. If you still had an mru page it would have made all those mrus look glossy also.

I am assuming that you already have the weather icons from my last upload.

I guess my main assumption is that you want this at all. I just figured since you have the glossy look already going.
[Windows Mobile Themes] formula84:
You rock!!! I am trying it out now, just spent the past 2 hours trying to consolidate pages to save ram slimmed down from 3 contacts to 1 and got rid of the mru page, you can still manage pinned mrus without the MRU page, it looks sloppy though and crammed I was just playing around to see what could be done. I tried Adding MRU's to the area where the MRU and cnt2-3 menu buttons were in the subtab1 section but they show up and are not selectable, mabye a person with more knowledge could look into this, here are my screen shots and the file.

My ideal setup would be 1 MRU on the now page, and 3 MRU's filling the spots in the subtab1 area were the mru and cnt2-3 buttons used to be, and I would probably ditch the 4 i put up top in the programs menu as these look sloppy. It would be nice to have backlight, thumb cal, and iContact.
[Windows Mobile Themes] gagaza:
I don't see the screen shots. Never mind, they just came up. Get rid of the lable. You know what page your on, don't you. :) Then you can keep your mrus and spread them out. You can even add one more. I doubt that you'll have room for glossy mru. I don't know how drastic you want to get, but you can remove the items on the top bar to make room. Like I said before, your preferences would require a whole new theme. And that's pretty much what you're doing. Good job.
[Windows Mobile Themes] formula84:
I was thing that, any idea on why the ones on the button tab aren't selectable, mabye this is a question for GreatBal
[Windows Mobile Themes] GODZSON:
THX Gagaza, I will upload.. hopefully mine remains like the current view of my start button.

You should do your modding skills on the new V2 Weather icons from B.I. this way we can still have the top left buttom active on the home screen (start buttom).. Maybe having the qp_weather_big.dat as the bottom

icons you have to be on top (the icons that their rain drops cover parts of the whole screen) and samurai icons to be on the bottom.. also having the set current dated weather to show night dat (bottom left), if it can't then having all the bottom icons as night samurai.. Just a thought.
[Windows Mobile Themes] gagaza:
I haven't looked into it. I prefer you ask Greatbal. He is the expert and creator of this great theme. He's the master. Plus I just don't have much time. Every time I look into something I end up spending way to much time.

I'm obsessed and it's starting to effect my personal life. I gotta mellow out on this stuff. It's worse than crack.:p
[Windows Mobile Themes] gagaza:
Nice thoughts. But I'm actually gonna mellow out on this modding stuff. I don't hardly ever get rain where I'm at, but looking at the rainy weather icons, I can see how it might be a problem for others.

I quickly looked at putting mrus on other pages, but I don't know that it's possible. It's just one of those spb limitations.

Hey check it out BeyondInvisible just made weather pages for version 2. They look much better than mine and fit the theme. They pretty much cover all the points you made. Except the day/night thing. But he's got a post for you on that.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtkates:
So funny, yet so true!
[Windows Mobile Themes] GODZSON:
Yup I did peep it out.. I was truly hoping it could be done, maybe Greatbal can figure that one out.

In regards to Beyond and ur theme.. they are both great.. just duno if I wanna loose my start button tho, at the same time I like the back and setting buttons from beyonds theme.. oh boy. lol :p

Ur right bout the feaning like crack.. thats why I only take a few bumps from here time to time.. :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] GODZSON:
Attached is my qp_bkg_now.dat thanks for the help, and fellowship.
[Windows Mobile Themes] gagaza:
GODZSON, I'm gonna make it easy for you. Gimme half an hour.
[Windows Mobile Themes] gagaza:
GODZSON, put this baby into your spb folder, reset and enjoy your glossy mrus. And don’t worry it won’t do anything to your start mru. They're not as evident on your black background.
[Windows Mobile Themes] GODZSON:
Thanks pimpin... I appreciate the fellowship. I have been trying to do my own themes just can't get the dat's to load on my phone.. I need to get it down so I can put some skills into it.. Im about to give up lol..

**Would some one mind looking at my dat files, I can't figure out why it won't load. Thanks in advance**
[Windows Mobile Themes] unitea:
i hope this question isnt too silly, but is this theme compatible with spb pocket plus? i want to get it because of the smart scrolling, but i dont want to waste the 30 bucks if i cant use it with this theme.

BeyondDiamond modifications

Here is the mod that incorporates the mru, BeyondInvisible's Weather icons and the Time|Calendar page,

into Greatbal's Diamond Theme.

BeyondInvisible provides these 3 versions for Diamond V.2. They are Enhanced Diamond, SamuraiDiamond, and Night Only.

This folder contains BeyondDiamond, BeyondDiamondSamurai, and BeyondDiamondNight.

(adapted layout to include mru and BeyondInvisibes Weather Icons, and Time|Calendar page)

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

As usual back-up, unzip, and choose the folder you want. Copy all the all the .dat files within your chosen folder into your SPB mobile shell folder and reset.

is there a way to get the contact button to launch my app of choice instead of the SPb contact app?
[Windows Mobile Themes] j0sefK:
Thanks a lot, GODZSON!!!! Brilliant. My Cruise is looking greater than ever :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] greatbal:
The bound area of the subform is beyond the bound area of the tab area. Only items on the tab area (icons defined for the tabs) are clickable. and items on the subform will be clickable only within its bound area. You define the bound area on the layout xmls.

Contact Script to Pocket CM or your choice

Here is this one for Pocket CM, I can't recall at the moment where the original files are at the moment.. But here is one of them, was supposed to be finger friendly but changed wording on script.. you can do the same to the one you want. (you will need to get mortscript into your PPC)

You will need to add all contacts with pic or ppl you want onto the contact pages cause you won't be able to add after the script is set unless you change back.
[Windows Mobile Themes] GODZSON:
Nicely done thx for your curtious offer to set that up.. I'm now tryin to download your new mods to peep out..

Thx homie it looks pimpin.

(I'm tryin to DL but never does.. any oneelse having issue..? It does show File Size: 11.16MB, nothing in desktop)

Weather Setup Idea

Here is a the weather idea I would like to see still using Gagaza's mod so we can still have the start button.. I made this in Paint/PhotoShop to show the idea of having the big day dat file and having the bottom night dat file.. Since It's been said that makin a script to change day dat's into night would still need to make the PPC reset, so then I thought I'd show in view of this is the other option idea.. What do you all think..? :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] GODZSON:
Sup Gagaza,

Just DL'd.. nicely done!! :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] dinoalbert:
this is great, bro! thanks!

I used the Beyond's Samurai for v2....i liked it but it removed the MRU (psShutXP) from my Today screen. Now, with your mod, its back! thanks!

I think I can do with the Time/Cal without the Back button.

[Windows Mobile Themes] Yuukizz:
how can I find the " B&W and Colored Main Menu Icons ", please ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] omair2005:
very nice theme. I have a few issues that I hope will be addressed in future releases.

1. To make this truly finger friendly, make the home and main (back and more buttons also) buttons bigger.

2. Better alarm alerts my alarm went off and no pop up came up. it was hard to turn off or snooze.
[Windows Mobile Themes] formula84:
Limitation of MS 2.1, but you can do 2 things to help with this, when you click on the call log button and it displays the missed call log, use the right softkey, then filters, and select "all calls", it is a 4 button combo rather than 1 but at least you dont need to leave the shell. You can also take advantage of the multiple contact pages and mabye make one as a call history page, I just found out the "recent call" is an option if you long press on one of the 12 contact squares it will give you the option for recent call... if you do all 12 you will have one button access to you last 12 calls. Hope this helps.

How to change shortcut

greatbal,

Thank you for the awesome theme. Your contribution to this site are appreciated by the multitude. I'm a noob and so please bear with me. I've searched but might not know what I was looking for.

Basically, I don't use the "outlook mail". I was wondering how do you redirect the "outlook mail" button to launch a different program? e.g. contact or the "lock device".

If you can tell me which file to edit that would be awesome. I don't mind using an "outlook" icon to launch a "contact" program.

Thanks!

So just to clarify,

I need to load the SPB onto my phone, then load the file attached on this message board onto a desktop and then transfer the files to my phone in the SPB folder, or can I load the files from this message thread directly to my phone?

Just learning so be patient with me, thanks in advance for the help

[Windows Mobile Themes] JokeZony0u:
wow, you show your love in the most unappreciative way..just give greatbal some time will you? He has a life too you know, I'm sure he's working on it right now

@gotice, you can't directly download it into your phone, its better to just use the computer, its faster and easier. Unzip the files into the SPB folder on your phone and replace all the files it asks you to
[Windows Mobile Themes] gotice:
i see my phone on the desktop and i am able to open the spb file from my phone on my desktop, but i am unable to copy the files and paste into this folder, any suggestions

Thanks for the amazing Theme!
[Windows Mobile Themes] greatbal:
1) Install SPB Mobile Shell version 2.1 (Make sure it'sversion 2.1)

2) Download the diamond theme (zip file).

3) Extract the zip file you downloaded on your hard disk.

4) Open the extracted folder to reveal the Sub folders (Default Files and Optional Files folders for version 2.0).

5) Connect your device via activesync.

6) copy the extracted dat files from the \Default Files folder to your device's \Program Files\SPB Mobile Shell folder via activesync.

7) Soft reset your device.

At this point, you will have the default skin for this theme. If you want the optional files as in color theme backgrounds etc., just go to the \Optional files folder, and open the corresponding folder to reveal the specific dat file you need and copy that dat file to your SPB Mobile Shell deirectory on your device.

Amazing theme, best one by far for me!! One small problem:

Also, anymore icon sets out there besides the black and white and colored versions?

thanks, and keep up the great work.

working 'real' diamond start button (*needs wisbar to be working).

With the great modification of gagaza I made a new 'real' looking/working start button/menu.

(it will look like the newer diamond startmenu but it will also work if you have wisbar installed, see step 6!!, in case you don't have wisbar skip step 6 and go to step 6.2.

Step 1:

First of all you will need to need to copy the modified "qa_layouts.zip" which will enable to startbutton location to be editable (credits for this file go to gagaza)

Step 2:

open your "qp_menu_btn.dat" file and replace "MenuIcons2_8.bmp" and the "MenuIcons2_m_8.bmp" with the attached files.

Step 3 reboot:

Step 4:

Go to the advanced SPB MS "menu" options, go to "my menu" -> "add" -> "menu" and call it what you want (Start?) and change the icon / browse down to the new black start button.

Step 5:

Now in the Mobile Shell itself keep the left upper button pressed and go to: "managed pinned" and enable only the entry that you just created, you could remove all the others to make sure that it will work, anywayz I called it "Start" in step 4. (Now you will have a start button that doesn't work yet / it will show an empy menu but it will be already visible).

Step 6 "making the startmenu actually work, this step requires Wisbar!":

Go back to the "advanced SPB MS menu options" -> "add" -> "Link" and go down to your "Wisbar Advanced" folder and select the: "Casc Start Menu", change the name (Startmenu?) and icon as you want it.

*probably you can do this steps straight into the registry but still needs wisbar to make it work.

Step 6.2:

In case you don't have "Wisbar" you could also create your own startmenu from in the advanced options (I made some extra's there aswell, see picture (3 and 5) just below the text "Startmenu" so in case you don't have wisbar skip step 6 and insert your own shortcuts (by link or file) ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] perfekted:
Great job with this! I just had a question as I'm new to the spb shell. I have the htc touch, and it has a great tabbed design as is. Is there anyway to get the spb menu to alway show by default versus the tabbed display on today? So basically, I don't want a today screen at all, I want the spb menu to display instead. Is this possible?

Thanks again for your amazing work!
[Windows Mobile Themes] iris_aim:
great job with the icon
