installing HTC Diamond themes on Tilt

I was interested in trying to get the Purple Heaven (HTC Diamond) theme from Marfanuk placed on my AT&T Tilt. Could someone share with me the possibility?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] webwiz:
Hi is it possible for you to create ***** black in layout C i find it best for an Elf. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Phonatic:
Guys, I don't have much time, but I will help as much as I can.

Lee, Please let me know exactly which S2U files you are refering to. Most likely you will be replacing files in the S2U gfx folder.

.tsk files for the today themes go into you mobile devices root directory

and can then be selected by choosing the theme by going to settings-personal-today-appearance.

Yes, install spb mobile shell, copy the .dat files for purple heaven into your spb mobile shell folder on your phone and reset.

I just did this up for you. Change the file extension from .zip to .dat, copy into your folder and reset. I only had a few minutes and no time to test it. Let me know if it's what you wanted.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nightcookie:
Summer's over, ahmedfikry! :) and I was wondering if maybe you could find the time for a "brite white" theme, or some other great new skin!

Your "pitch black" theme is a permanent resident on my PPC for weeks on end now - a record as yet unheard of! So I thought that deserves a token of appreciation (you'll notice) and hope you keep up the great work!

N.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ahmedfikry:
Thank you very much Nightcookie

for your nice words & your donation

I will adjust a "bright white" theme for you...my pleasure

can you tell me which layout you use? is it the full multi-tab ***** black?

can you please list the bottom tabs from left to right? so i can do one that match your needs? .. also do you have regular weather or BIG samurai weather?

yes, it is possible & i will work on it for you

I will return home next week & i will fix all requests ASAP ... i had a good summer & ready for some time on my laptop :)...

Thanks again
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nightcookie:
ahmedfikry,

pleasure is all mine, I enjoy your work! :)

I use

- the "Pitch Black" theme (with a P, for version 2.1.2)

- with your revised layout: One contacts page, no MRU

- bottom tabs (left to right): Now, Calendar, Programs, Weather, Contacts.

- big samurai weather.

What I have in mind is exactly this, just with the colors reversed: Black on white. Dunno if you have the icons in black available...?

And while you're at it, here a two more suggestions:

1) Move the volume/speaker button up to the status bar (maybe next to the battery status?) - for all users who don't use Phone Suite, the Now screen would look cleaner that way!

2) Put the date all in one line - Weekday, day, and month.

3) Don't show small time on first (Now) tab, it's a bit redundant there and sometimes conflicts with network status (e.g. in Flight mode).

Good to hear you had a great summer, and looking forward to your work!

Thanks a lot for this!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nightcookie:
GREAT WORK ahmedfikry!

I like the plain white background best. Neat and simple!

Can I still make a few suggestions?

- clock: Pleeeeeease bring the original digital clock back! The clock from the Pitch Black theme looked so much better! Or is it too difficult to convert to black-on-white? Maybe a Diamond flip-clock instead?

- GSmart black&transparent icons: Very well done! I was just thinking maybe they might look even better upside down - the brighter half up, the darker half down. For example, go to the contacts tab and look at it upside down. Doesn't that look better?

- tab icons: I'm not sure about the grey "halo" around the selected tab... Maybe just a darker or elevated icon would do?

- Highlights for selected items (D-pad navigation) are quite hard to see.

But these changes are brilliant:

(+) Date in a single line

(+) moved / changed profile icon

Could you make these tweaks for the Black theme as well?

I know, people never stop asking ... ;) :D

Great work, thanks a lot!

Brite White adjustments

Hi Nightcookie

you have an excellent taste ..i have to admit

i was trying to get the white theme out quick because of all the requests i recieved..so i guess it was a "premature release" :)

i actually thought of all the points you mentioned but decided to get that one out before i get too busy with work

i added few modifications here that you will really like

- the icons are now not more clear, both tab icons & menu icons

- the page tab indicator is gone & replaced with a slim underline (i think it looks better..its grey now, i can make it black if you like)

- back to my white diamond flip clock

the transparant clock with black digits is really hard to fix with spb.. a while ago, it took me few trys to come up with the white diamond one...the trasparant one i posted earlier is best i could do (i was successful in getting the GSmart digital clock BG to work, but the digits dont show as they stay white even with many graphic color trials)...so i had to use the spb digits from the time page & adjust the xml files ...long story short, the trick for a transparant clock with black digits worked but not perfect...and as far as i know its the only transpaprant with black digits out there so far...maybe i can get to it later to fix more or someone else can help

the last thing is the halo around chosen icons not showing well, i am afraid its hard to fix as its a spb thing..you can go back to v 2.1.0 & you will have drak halos but you will loose the connection status & other features from 2.1.2

hope this helps

now back to work :(

I really love this Black and Red theme, it got me excited enough to try SPB Shell again. But I have a problem and after doing about a hundred searches and reading until my eyes are to the point of bleeding, I will have to uninstall this if I can't find an answer.

I have exchange mail, and have to use a pin, when my screen goes to sleep and wakes up I have to enter my pin and tap the 'ok', but with this teme I have no ok, there is no way for me to get back into my device other then a soft reset...what I need to know is if there is an easy fix or edit to the dat file? Thanks

(I have to ask because I am a klutz when it comes to stuff like this, so any help will be apprieciated!)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rulkpda:
depends on what type of downloaded skin file.

if it comes in cab then simply run in your pda,follow the setup process then soft reset.

if you download the zip or other compressed format,extract and copy to Spb Mobile Shell folder,remember to backup your original files first,in case you want to go back to your previous skin. Hope it helps...

Hi marfanuk

I am using your GSmart dark burnt orange Theme for SPB. This is perfect with all the items in place !

I have a request if you can take the timeout and help me resolve please. I have tried changing the lockscreen.xml and qp_bg_now - but get no solution only the system freezes!

1. I use the UltimateM2d.tsk - which skins my Today screen simalar to Manila - Can I use the same theme/Background on the Current Layout.

As you can see from my screenshot

2. Remove the Time from the top bar - it overlaps my operator name 'Vodafone UK'

3. Place a small light digital clock on the now page on the right hand side of the Analog clock similar to Manila Theme

4. Make the Date on tope of now page - single line and a slightly larget font.

5. Move the three items Message, SMS and Missed calls to the bottom between the Weather and the Profiles.

I have managed to change the analog clock by replacing the clock files - but the rest is beyong my expertise in programming and logic!!!

Please if you canhelp me out in this? Or even guide me on how to do it

Many thanks in advance

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] devdarshan:
1. Downloadthe Theme you like and unzip onto your PC

2. Right Click on your Activesync and click on Explore

3. Double Click to enter on 'My Windows Mobile-Based Device'

4. Double Click to enter on 'Program Files'

5. Double click to Enter 'SPB Mobile Shell' At this point its a safe bet to copy the contents of this folder onto your PC and keep safe - incase something goes wrong - just put these files back and re-boot and your original settings will be back.

6 copy the contents of the files you unzipped into the 'SPB Mobile Shell' folder - remember do not copy the folders - copy the actual files into this folder.

7. Reboot and thats it.

For touch screen go to Start -> Settings -> System -> Screen and click on Align Screen and follow instructions - once completed - the hit's should be fine.
