Greatbal, 420Mac, BeyondInvisible or anyone capable

I have an idea/request. I am wondering if you would consider doing the

weather page with the Samurize 2 weather icons, provided by 420Mac, but resized to fit the large icon size of BeyondInvisible's weather icons.

I hope that their might be others that would want this. Anyway thanks to all the artists that have contributed to this forum. It's truly amazing the work that you've all done. I wish I had the skills so as not have to bother you with my requests. I have been able to create my ideal theme by copying and merging the work of others, mainly Greatbal. This is the last component to making it perfect, for me. @ Greatbal, sorry to here about the typhoon. Hope you are well. P.S. I have attached a mockup of want I am looking for. Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Themes] gagaza:
I just figured out how to upload. So here's the Speeddial.xml that I use to get the 3x3 contacts page. You'll need to replace the one that you have in your qa_layout.dat. I don't know which layout you are using, or I'de have changed it for you. Oh,by the way this is for thelayouts with one contact page.

That would be great because I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to get the Start button there. I would rather have nothing there if not the Start button

For the Start Menu I just downloaded QuickMenu 2.7, which has many more features than our standard Start Menu. It is freeware and can be found here

Just set it as your #2 MRU and you're golden.

Hey azzmbm,

some people are asking me to make backgrounds for mtkates version 2.1 using your backgrounds you posted here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=402021&page=87

But, your the expert. :P

Maybe you could find time to do those again for version 2.1? :)

Mobile Shell status class inlcudes all three (and the fourth voice mail icon). You can't take the mail link out and change it to something else, AFAIK.
[Windows Mobile Themes] greatbal:
I agree! :)

On that note, I noticed from SPB website, re version history:

I was just thinking whether SPB is referring to their Black Color Theme or black colored themeS made by other users...

Why the "S" in the word themes?

hehe :p

EDIT: before anyone reacts, of course I noticed in version 2.1.1 that the "highlighter" is now semi-transparent. Really cool feature IMHO. Especially with colored backgrounds. I tried putting my GSmart Theme, works fine. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] greatbal:
What version of Mobile Shell are you using? I experienced that "#" issue in [beta] version 2.0 (b3286). I don't see that issue on any Official release versions.
[Windows Mobile Themes] stanglifemike:
Yea, I did that already. Works well, just wish I had the Start Menu icon instead the yellow square with a Q in it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] stanglifemike:
Awesome, thank you!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] wongh_hk:
Hi, I installed the CAB file, and it worked fine in my Elf but only I can not found the sync button anywhere in the weather tab. Can you tell me how can I sync the weather?! :(:o
[Windows Mobile Themes] awesomeindeed:
All you have to do to get the start menu icon is change the icon for your pinned MRU #2 to the start menu icon. It should be included with the 2.1 theme. That's all I did.
[Windows Mobile Themes] awesomeindeed:
To sync the weather, just press the "last updated" portion of the weather screen and it will re-sync.

SPB theme vs Mogul theme

Not completely sure this is the correct place to post this question, but it came about after installing and playing with the Diamond theme.

I would like to keep my all black theme on my mogul, but have the SPB Menu use the Indigo theme. How can I separate the two? Basicaly, I just like the Indigo Aurora background, everything else could be all black and I'd be happy with it. I'm using v1.2 (only bc I loaded it before I saw figured out we were evolved way past that version.)

Thank you for any help.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Saluki:
Thank you so much :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] greatbal:
tap the screen upper-left hand corner below the (Weather) title bar. Normally you would see "Updated:" on that location if you have already previously synced the weather, otherwise just tap there.

It is really great to see so many people involved in skinning Mobile Shell. I can't even begin to name all the names. Keep at it, you are doing a GREAT job, and if you haven't been to the Mobile Shell forum at spbclub.com and visited the thread I started there for custom skinning support, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, head over there now, vote in the poll and leave a comment in the thread so SPB will wake up and work with us.

Anyone who downloads a skin from XDA or another site should go there and vote, and leave a comment. I know you have to register to leave a comment, but please take a few minutes, register, and tell SPB how you feel about your custom skins!

My date shows in Thai because my system is Thai, don't worry it will not show Thai in your system if your use my background :)

[Windows Mobile Themes] eazy2001x:
you guys should get rid of the stupid diamond background on the home icon. it does not even change when pressed. make all the icons look the same with the translucent background and remove the black surrounding diamond look. I truly feel that it will look so much better..

[Windows Mobile Themes] Skyjouby:
Ok, thank to gagaza, the problems of this post are solved.

Thank you Godzon and Gagaza for you help, I have now the theme I wanted and needed :)

Hi Godzson,

thank you for your files, I can now modify, erase or add contact to the SPB contact page now :)

When I use your SwitchSpbContact.mscr, (I think this is the file which modify the link from the button), and when I click on the button as shown on the picture, nothing appears :(

I'm using ArtemisTouch Rom 4.02 from Meschle where PocketCM is by default.

Moreover, since I use the SwitchMainContact.mscr I notice that the soft key "Contact" doesn't direct to Pocket CM as before, but directs to the normal contact

Besides when I use the SwitchSpbContact.mscr , I have a iContact.exe window which tell me: "The file 'iContact' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of ts components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring file."

What should I do to have PocketCM back with the softkey "Contact"

What should I do to have also PocketCM when I click on the button of the SpbContact page?

Kind regards,

Cyril

Regards,

Cyril

Small issue with top bar. bat meter and signal part.

I loaded this following your directions even backed up original stuff to go back to it.

but I have installed it twice and everything on the top bar Signal strength and battery meter and volume are all ontop of each other to the right. only thing to the left on all other pages except the now screen is the clock.

Im using a sprint mogul with wm6.1 and spb 2 is there something I missed?
[Windows Mobile Themes] greatbal:
This has been asked and answered several times. The theme is for SPB Mobile Shell version 2.1, so you just have to make sure that you have the correct Mobile Shell version.

To know which version of Mobile Shell you have, just go to Settings > Mobile Shell > Menu > About.

Greatbals Diamond 2.0 in Swedish!

Hi!

Do you want Greatbals Diamond 2.0 in Swedish?

I'm posting this in hope that more than me wants this SUPER looking theme in SWEDISH :)

If you are a beginner:

1 Make a backup of the files you can see inside the zip archive from your device folder Spb Mobile Shell onto your SD card. (incase you don't like this)

2. Unpack and copy the provided files into the folder Spb Mobile Shell and overwrite.

3. Run/import to register the root.reg file (this one you should not copy to above folder) and restart your device.

Now you should have every menu, button and weather description in Swedish.

Good Luck!

Hi , I want to do the same thing but in Italian .

Who you can change the whether description like " Sunny" .

Because if i try to modify in photoshop

My step :

1 open weather_m.bmp with photoshop

2 change image mode from index to RGB to allow modification

3 create a layer from background

4 made some modification

5 convert again to index color ( merge layer)

6 save as bmp 8 bit

After all , when i copy mod .dat on ppc , i have issue on display text and icon whether.

What i'm doing wrong?
[Windows Mobile Themes] dinoalbert:
@gagaza,

Bro, i just switched to greatbal's V2.1. Now I missed your Calendar and Samurai weather modification in V2.0

Do you happen to also create such modifications in this new version?

Thanks...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Telephonmann:
Bro's 'n' sistas :p :D

I came to the conclusion that the start menu icon in Now screen does not work with customized icon if the appliaction is linked directly - it just has to be in a folder with a custom icon, which means one click more to go to the QuickMenu.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
[Windows Mobile Themes] MOBGangsta184:
I really want to use this Theme really badly but I'm having so much trouble it's unbelievable. I've got everything working so far but when I try to add an aurora background it's just a black background after I soft reset my device. Also, I can't figure out a way to keep the "Now" screen as my permanent today screen. SPB MS is not very user friendly from what I can see. Also I can't figure out how to remove or add tabs to the NOW screen, I don't need a calendar so I'd like to take it off yet I can't figure out how to do it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Telephonmann:
Change the colour from "Tools" - "Colours" to any colour but black.

Ever seen the SPB Mobile Shell Options?

Btw: These issues have nothing to do with this theme, they are Mobile Shell related...

[Windows Mobile Themes] pepcisko:
anyone has news on this problem? I seem to experience it as well. Mobile shell 2.1.1, diamond theme 2.1, wm6.1 rom. Thanks!

Edit: is this related to the version of Mobile Shell perhaps?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtkates:
Yes, it is the version of Mobile Shell. I am currently working with several people at SPB to try and figure out what is going on and also to try and make skinning a little easier for us. For now, I would stick with Mobile Shell v2.1 which can be found in this thread or I'm told it is still available from the SPB site under previous versions.

I will update this theme and post here if/when we get it figured out.

Important: What might also be helpful is if people trying this skin with MS v2.1.1 installed could report whether it works or not and include what kind of PPC you have, what version of Windows Mobile, and any specific problems you notice, other than the obvious button hotspot shifting that is occuring. SPB had tested this skin on one PPC and said it worked with MS v2.1.1, and a few others have said that it works on theirs, but most seem to be having the same problem.
[Windows Mobile Themes] pepcisko:
Thanks! Actually, I only see the misalignment problem. I'm not sure if this could be related to the version of the OS - in my case it's the new TNT.20237 which is said to be ported from the Diamond - and that one is VGA. Maybe this is the problem.

Edit: I will try SPB MS2.1 to see if the software is the problem, or perhaps the OS.

Edit2: Working fine on SPB MS2.1 :)

Home Screen - Display Appointments

Hello all,

First, many thanks to the developers for this excellent skin for SPB MS 2.1 - I love it.

Then only thing that bothers me is the home screen, I would like to have the date of the next appointment coming displayed, it is currently is displayed in the home tab page but without the date. For instance, as I am on vacations, I currently have one appointment in 10 days but it is displayed without the date, so I do not know with a glance when it is.

My question is: is there an option or something in the SPB MS settings that I should set or is this a known limitation of the skin or of SPB MS?

EDIT: Based on the SPB MS Forum, it seems that the only way to know in the home screen when the next appointment is, is to look closely to the calendar and search for bold dates. So it looks likes it is a SPB MS limitation.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,

Questions

Evening all,

I absolutely love this theme, and have just installed it on my Titan. I do have a couple of questions:

1) Can I substitute SBSH Weather for SPB Weather?

2) How do I make this the default initial screen, so that on boot I am only shown the NOW screen?

3) Can I plugin Today Agenda into the NOW screen for PIM functionality?

Thanks,

Steve
[Windows Mobile Themes] MCXSC:
Hey,

is there a chance to build this theme version?

It should be based on v2.1 (of your skin), buut some changes:

- only one tabbar

- "home" change to "today" and open the today screen

- "main" changed to "contacts" and open the contacts page (for best: iContacts ;))

- the symbol for email changed into the "normal" programm menu

- no quickdial (if its possible to open iContacts)

- no mru

- only single screen

Is there a chance for this? Who can tell me, how I can change it?

THX,

MCXSC
[Windows Mobile Themes] thangkls:
I have a same question:

Lovely theme - thanks you so much.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtkates:
To make the Now screen to automatically start, search xda for a program called spbwatcher.

Skins cannot add other programs, such as today agenda or sbsh weather or icontacts. I would suggest looking in the SPB forums to see what programs may be programmed to work with mobile shell, or add an MRU for a shortcut to whichever program you are wanting to launch.

To tell you how to change the layouts to add/remove mru's, contact pages, etc would take longer than actually doing the mods, and that can add up to many hours and take me away from the little time I have on other projects. Look for the beginners how to guide for mobile shell here on xda, try some of the mod tutorials there, download a few different themes, take them apart and figure out how they work. It's all just trial and error. That is how these custom skins were made.
[Windows Mobile Themes] drb123:
Thank you mtkates. The post you mention is #1171 on page 118.

Unfortunately, I had problems. I installed the qa_layouts.dat as well as the other file as ready made by another thread participant a few posts later and also by unzipping the dat file and substituting the 2 files.

After I reboot, I cannot even open/enter Mobile Shell. I tried replacing each of the two with original files and it took replacing both of them with the originals and rebooting to get up and running....again, with ListPro as my #2 MRU

Any suggestions as to what I did incorrectly or what went wrong?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtkates:
As I stated in my instructions, do NOT install the files in jeffrey2000's post, the files are already included in Diamond 2.1, follow all other instructions carefully. I have wisbar installed, so I cannot verify the instructions for those that don't. There are also other alternatives for a start menu that can be found in this thread.

But did you test MS2.1.1 with greatbal's diamond skin? Just installed 2.1.1 together with the skin and the touch zones for the buttons are not aligned with the buttons itself (hope I express it correct).

Clickin on a button in the left column activates a button in the second column...
