Request

Well ok, here's the file with the new black start menu...

By copying this file you will automaticly get the black program icons aswell (not the colored ones), I didn't make it cause I dun use the colored ones to keep it more Diamond like! (see step 2 previous post). If you want the colored menu you got to replace that file and make sure you use the password (b0fm18zq) to upload these files with password protection, so in case you use Winrar and drag & drop the files you will need the 2nd tab: "advanced", go to "set password" and use the above passw to update this 2 files.

thanks man yhat was quick
[Windows Mobile Themes] jeffrey2000:
ur very welcome ;) and is it working for ya?
[Windows Mobile Themes] iris_aim:
Thanks Jeffery

yea worked like a breeze

and followed ur instructions to make 1 with colored icons here it is:)

now i just need transparent MRU for this theme 1 in the likes of gsmart

any hints on doin that...or if some1 can make that...thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] iris_aim:
i was wondering also if the clickable area could be increased (atleast double the length of its current length given by GAGZA)its really difficult to click this start meny using the thumb
[Windows Mobile Themes] jeffrey2000:
The location itself could be moved a few more pixels to the right but the icon size will remain the same size. That's why I also left out the "start" letters cz the icon itself can't be too big and needs to be a square shape and not a rectangle. The total width is 32 pixels which is not so much, I could still add the separator behind the win logo but that was the max I could do and leave the rest of the icons still intact.

But anywayz that's the whole reason why HTC and SPB choose a more 'finger friendly' UI cause the default Windows Mobile OS is not really finger 'compatible' in 240x230. Did you ever try bubblebreaker/Solitaire with just ur fingertips? The stylus is still your WM friend.

Very Cool & Many Thanks!

Just wated to say a BIG THANK YOU :D and to note that this is very cool :cool: and I'm sticking with it on my ELF until the touch pro come out in UK :p.

Anyway, a couple of questions (excuse my ignorance and for being a noobie):

1) I understand this is based on the MS 2.1 software and it is not something I've seen in the original app... but is it possible to put a tasks icon (with number of active tasks) next to the email, sms, missed calls icons on the main screen?

2) How do I make a background .dat file from an image I have?

Cheers!

If I had a VGA device to donate I would give it to you for all your hard work. I do have this ppc emulator on my PC and I will share with you how to find it.

I have been using it for testing and it works great. I have started to try a VGA conversion but it is pretty complicated and I don't have a working theme yet. The QVGA version has helped me so much and saved a lot of wear and tear on my phones soft reset button.

Weather

Is there an option to show current weather icon instead of daily forecast. My problem is that today there is a chance of light rain, so my icon is showing light rain when it is sunny outside at the moment. I would love for this to show current condition and update the condition through out the day. Is this possible?

Wow, great work.

Thank you very much
[Windows Mobile Themes] pmorganii:
greatbal. I personally like the way mtkates kept the nav bar at the bottom of the screen instead of moving to the right in his ulitmate WM7 theme. if you could somehow maintain the exact look of the portrait in landscape, that would be ideal for me.
[Windows Mobile Themes] iris_aim:
Totally agreed

but still i think must b a trick for doin it...

im newbie,all we need to do is edit xml to increase the space for this MRU(space allocated to icons on MRU is much greater)...hope some 1 finds a way,like puting layers of space allocated and masked icons,ppl dont feel offended,im doc not a progrmmer

i know its not that simple

Hey,

I need to say this is really great work of you guys, but i cant get it to work on my htc touch with sps mobile shell 2.1.

Can somebody help and get layout A to work.

Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Themes] gagaza:
jeffrey2000 and GODZSON, great utilization of the mru. That is one of the main reasons that I incorporated it into this theme. There had been countless requests for the start menu.

Just as a reminder to all that the mru can be used in a number of ways.

There is room for another mru on this page, for those without a long carrier name. So I am adding one for those that want it. If you have a long carrier name, remember you can always just shorten it or get rid of it completely.

This will give you plenty of options for combinations i.e. Start and PsShut, or Comm manager, task manager…….Anyway you get the idea.

So much for me trying to stop contributing. :(

I will upload soon.
[Windows Mobile Themes] silverfoxx:
Cannot add contacts to contacts pages

When I hold down the + and hit 'Add' to add a contact, it doesn't do anything at all. Doesn't bring up the contact list, just sits at the same screen. I can remove a contact, but can't add them.

Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Themes] dinoalbert:
gagaza, will wait for your upload. I would also like to have at least 2 MRUs, the psSHutXP and maybe the Task Manager.

by the way, is there a way to make Start Menu as the MRU without using Wisbar?

Thanks...
[Windows Mobile Themes] gotice:
where do you place this on the phone? Is this an add on to the S2U2 or is it a stand alone program. if it is an add on, do I drop it into the S2U2 folder or not? How do I access the wallpapers, etc once I have loaded it

Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Themes] dleewo:
Can some post, or explain where I can find the aurora background, specifically, the gold colored one on the far right? I opened up the .dat file, but the background images I saw in there seem to be either all black or all white.

I want to use the background with S2U2.

Diamond modifications of Mine

Here are some Diamond mods of Mine. Thank you Greatbal for the theme.

I have revised the Time|Calendar page (thanks to ahmedfikry) that has the city times and full calendar

by adding the back button and deleting the status icons.

The order of the top icons now match the rest of the pages.

The weather page has been adapted to my preferences, on all three of BeyondInvisible’s Diamond V.2 weather pages.

The page label has been replaced by the top bar that is more useful, to match the other pages that have it.

The city name has been moved lower and to the right. The longer your city name is the farther to the left it will move.

It will get partially obstructed on very poor weather days. Let’s hope you don’t get too many of those.

And if you do hopefully you still know what city you’re looking at.

The Night Only version has the addition of the current day and date.

The Diamond Mine download has six options to pick from, within the sub folders.

They all have the revised Time|Calendar page and the revised weather page.

Folder1: DiamondMine, DiamondMineSamurai, and DiamondMineNight.

(1 mru on the now screen)

Folder2: DiamondMine2, DiamondMineSamurai2, and DiamondMineNight2.

(2 mrus on the now screen)

=================================================================================================================

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.

MRU, BeyondInvisible's altered Weather icons, and the Time|Calendar page.

[Windows Mobile Themes] iris_aim:
jus went thru the post 1193,

sigh,now gagaza has left the modding scene i dunno which files to put in the .dat file...also is it possible to remove that box from the now screen which might come along with this mod.
[Windows Mobile Themes] gagaza:
I tried hard bro, guess I'm just weak. I was gone for 2 whole days I think.

@ GODZSON thanks to you my post now looks cool.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jeffrey2000:
In my exitement I forgot to include you, well of course credits go to you aswell as I got the idea from the default SPB startbutton and close button. Well I thought why making just a button without function while it could actually work like this so just replaced it with the original start button bitmap and gave it some functionality (wisbar or new menu). Oh btw you still got the transparancy bug in ur picture (weather icon background), there's a fix for that already a cpl of posts ago.
[Windows Mobile Themes] iris_aim:
hey GAGAZA WELCOME!!!

in ur post 1193,can u plz post the files here or mail em to me at dr.irfan@gmail.com

also i hate to ask thes,but will there b a way to work around that mru box which might appear with this mod...

and yea great job with the modz,i know we all have got life,but we need u here,plz dont leave the modding scene for good...thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] gagaza:
Here's some backgrounds that I just found and edited. Thanks to azzambm he posted lots of them on page 87.

And to everyone else who's picture I used. It takes about a minute to do. I just did 17 of them.

For those that want to do their own. I will also upload the mru files. All you do is open the qp_bkg_now.dat file and put these in.

I will label the folder mru files.

For people that are wondering what this is. All this does is make your mrus on your mru page look glossy, like Gsmart. Nothing else.

Maybe people that edit their background can post it, with a pic, for people that don't know how to open a .dat file.

By the way if you have mrus on your Now screen, don’t worry. This only affects your mru page.

I have the mod for the Now screen. (Look at the third picture above. Top left of that screenshot)

I’m just choosing to not upload yet until people get a better understanding of it and or want it.

These Backgrounds are already converted for you. Here's a link to full size pics. Click onthe picture when it comes up to veiw full size

Missing buttons

Thanks for creating this wonderful theme. I successfully installed the 2.0 version on my touch and it looks great.

But, when i tried to change the background by adding in the two files from the bg folder (grass blade one) layout A and did a soft reset, I lose my Menu and Main button. Those two buttons were there before I added the new bg file. Is there a setting I am suppose to change?

Sorry if this is a repost. I searched throughout the thread but couldn't find anyone with the similar problem.
[Windows Mobile Themes] gagaza:
Sounds like you installed a background for version 1.2. Use the one on page 87, provided by azzambm, or one that changes th mru to glossy on page 122.

@ heartpumper77, I haven't seen the gonzza theme yet.
[Windows Mobile Themes] GODZSON:
Just sharing and contributing wit some fellowship, giving credits to those who made it possible and those who tweaked to make it better.. But proper credits should "always" be given.. Respect.

No doubt.. anytime.

Let's continue da creativity and fellowship.
[Windows Mobile Themes] GODZSON:
No doubt, It'z k.. Well the way I set it up is functional, you can add any program, file, game, etc to the start button just as you would wit the Real Win Start button.. My weather button icon is fine, I was taking a pic of the weather page but instead it did it quickly before changing therefore the highlight.. I am enjoying my setup and looking forward to everyone elses tweaks and fellowship.

I really appreciate any assistance...
[Windows Mobile Themes] mikentucson:
make sure you encrypt the speedial.xml file with the password "b0fm18zq" when you add it back to the qa_layouts.dat file. that might be what is making it show up blank
[Windows Mobile Themes] mattcoz:
I've been looking all over and can't find this fix. The weather icon and the icons on the main page are all semi-transparent, but the status icons are completely different. I opened up the dat file to see if I could fix it, but I wasn't able to.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jeffrey2000:
azzambm posted it in one of his earlier posts, just check the Transparent Issue Fix.zip.

The only sideffect of this fix is that it will not have the nice background glow anymore which greatbal made for the status icons (mail/sms/missed calls indicator).

Did anyone see the new Spb Mobile Shell 2.1.1 Beta 1 (build 3482) update already? Lepsyfou posted more info in: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=2437647#post2437647 (The great "SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 Theme / Skin Collections Thread)".

[Windows Mobile Themes] jeffrey2000:
Well everyone gotta make v2.1.1 compatible themes now :) Maybe some names changed or some new screen resolutions?? who knows ;) Well I didn't check it yet.

I hope the Samsung Omnia i900 will be compatible with this version since it has a different screen resolution so ppl can make a different Diamond theme based on the Omnia resolution? I think it's 240x400?!?
[Windows Mobile Themes] MacGuy2006:
I am trying to get 2 MRU tabs, instead of one, and 2 Contacts tabs, instead of 3. Figured out to change .dat to .zip and edited qa_layouts. But now I get a black screen.
[Windows Mobile Themes] loonsy:
The default layout is compatible with WQVGA 240x400. It's just that some of the themes here on xda-developers are written in QVGA 240x320, so to enable them to work, u need to do your own tweaking to change the xml and bmp files.

Which is also the reason why you get people looking for updates to VGA with is 480x640.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jeffrey2000:
Yup I know... it was a hint ;)

I don't own a Omnia yet but when it will be available in Holland I think I'll go for this phone, mabe someone will make the Diamond v2 theme compatible for WQVGA if not then I'll make it compatible myself for this screen resolution but as I saw the Omnia has various different home screens so maybe there's one that I like... If I go for the HTC TOUCH PRO I don't really need the SPB MS anymore.
[Windows Mobile Themes] davesurfer:
Very nice!! Is it possible to do the Programs page too? So clear glossy squares with the whitish icons ontop?

THanks!
