Is it possible to make the the theme like these...

I mean the 3 icons under the clock to change it like on the picture (Call ,SMS etc.)

Cool. Really nice background images.:)

Plz 3x3 for layout A too, many thanx , you're great guys
[Windows Mobile Themes] jws3:
Greatbal,

Using your MS 1.2 theme. Tried many other themes, but keep gravitating back to yours. I tried your profile.dat for my SPB Phone Suite. It provided condensed icons for the Now screen. However, it also replaced the larger color icons in the Today screen, which is not too good. So I decided (always have choices) to go back to the "stock" profile.dat and live with the larger icon in the Now screen. Not too elegant, but it works.

I remember in V1.1 that you had the Phone Suite icon in the main part of the Now display so that you could use the larger icons. Was this a problem or could you return to that format?

Thanks,
[Windows Mobile Themes] MrDSL:
After I overwrite with these files and reboot my screen comes up..Now screen out of memory or something..

Also the newest images are located http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=402124

Can you try those please in layout h? I forgot I updated to those newer ones last night but they should work with all backgrounds so I think everyone will like them better.

thanks man..

AM/PM digital clock

Hi greatbal, i have a little request i know you can do this. I tried to make the am/pm appear on the white digital clock but can't make it in black, can u make one? The orig diamond clock has these time indicators without these it looks like a calendar to me... hehehe... Thanks and more power!
[Windows Mobile Themes] azzambm:
I've tried to do that a couple of weeks ago. But with no luck...

And I've told greatbal about that but he couldn't help.. :(:(

Maybe now he could find a way to do this ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] bajok!:
...opps! sorry to hear that, but will wait 'till someone can figure it out. Thanks for the reply.:)

BTW azzambm, i've downloaded your DNAflux background, it's so cool! thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Themes] greatbal:
as promised. :)

I made two separate layouts:

Similar to Layout B but all pages can be accessible via the left and right gestures. No more "looping" between pages within a tab such as the contacts tab.

1) Layout_B_Carousel_Normal_Weather.zip - For those using the default or normal weather icons

2) Layout_B_Carousel_Big_Weather.zip - For those using the big weather icons by BeyondInvisible

Screenshot of Layout_B_Carousel_Big_Weather layout:

Enjoy! :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] greatbal:
apparently, the AM/PM of the digital clock follows the default font color of the page. So, if you're using white fonts, AM/PM would always be displayed as white-colored. :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] gh0st-:
any luck with the 3x3 for Layout A please? :) thanks ^_^
[Windows Mobile Themes] tylr:
I like this idea as well. I think that the thread called "Diamond Theme 2.1 meets PointUI" did something similar, but I'd like to see that as an otion from Greatbal. :) I'd also like to see a larger icon on the Home tab to show the current PhoneSuite profile being used. Just a thought...

Big Weather for other layouts?

Greatbal,

Are you going to make available big weather for other layouts? Also are you considering a White diamond theme not just the clock? I know there was one on the other forum at or around page 263 but i was talking an updated 1.1 white one.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ka911:
can you please make one of the Big weather layout for layout C?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] gagaza:
I just tried the files on my Tilt and on my Hermes. I can't recreate the problem that you describe. It's working for me. As far as the weather icons that where included, It wasn't really necessary for you to copy those over , since you already had big icons. I provided them for people that didn't have them yet. If this layout had worked for you, it would have allowed you to copy over any of BeyondInvisble's weather icons. Sorry it didn't work, I tried.:(

BeyondInvisible just updated to improved transparency and lanscape support. I was gonna edit the layout to have 3x3 contacts. But since I don't use his weather icons and my last attempt apparently doesn't work for everyone, I decided not to. I'm not very good at this stuff. Pretty much just giving up. The final component to making my Mobile shell perfect for me is about to be released by 420Mac. I'll be done tweaking.

to all,

Is it possible to edit shell 2.1 to have the icon tabs on the left side in landscape mode? I am left handed and it seems this would be much more natural for me to have them positioned on the left side. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Themes] sparhawk6:
Man ...I realized that loading up this theme with the custom weather graphics brought my Mobile Shell to over 5 MB. :( That's a big no-no on the mogul. I have to revert to the original theme. Sad days.

Tabs Background

Greatbal, et al...

I really like how the tab row does not have a background in these new background images. Any chance to remove the gray bar from behind the tab icons in the original background image you created? In my humble opinion...the original is still the best. Thanks in advance.

Maybe I'll Win The Lottery!

I just started thinking(I know, scary concept...LOL). I believe we have better odds at winning the lottery than fulfilling every possible combination of requests for layouts for different people.

Maybe people making requests should be buying lottery tickets for people filling requests.
[Windows Mobile Themes] BeyondInvisible:
That's funny!!! :D This has got to be the funniest, and most truthful statement ever made.

Greatbal,

I found the icons here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2260897&postcount=1

It should be in the weather folder. I'll work on the Samurai icons later. Yeah way later, Sprint official ROM update is here. I can't wait to get home and try out the new ROM. So excited.

This hobby is time consumming. Can't find any time for myself. :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtkates:
I saw that today about the Sprint ROM. I too have a lot of projects in the works, but they will be on hold tonight until after I update my phone.
[Windows Mobile Themes] greatbal:
Thanks! :)

And yes, it's really time consuming. Especially with all the layout requests. And I don't know if mtkates is right about the possible permutation being like the lottery... hehe lol :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] commissionerg:
thank you for all of your hard work. I hated spb mobile shell until I tried your layout.

3x3 contacts

Great layout and theme, can anybody help me with adding 3x3 contacts to this? I have read tutorial but a little worried about doing it. If I apply the 3x3 .dat layout obviously it changes this layout.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtkates:
Don't be afraid to try it out, you won't break your phone. If it doesn't work like you want, reinstall what you had before.

I have done a lot of just trying things to see if/how they will work. I think that's pretty much what others have been doing too and I'm sure there was a lot that didn't work, but look at all the cool stuff that does work as a result of just trying something to see what happens.

I know I have learned just as much by what didn't work right as by what did.

4x3 Contacts-Layout B-Carousel-Big Weather

I had a request for 4x3 contacts pages in Layout B-Carousel-Big Weather of greatbal diamond theme.

There is also a picture frame image if you want to frame your pics before adding them to contacts(don't install frame.png to your phone).

Test it for me cincy.....Hope it is what you were looking for.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dinoalbert:
@greatbal,

I understand there are many requests....and I have another request too! lols!

but no pressure, if it cant be made, no problem at all...

I wonder...since in the Now Screen the clock is already shown, it is possible to remove the redundant clock at the upper-left-corner of the top bar and replace it with a "Start" dropdown Menu like the one we had in our default Home Screen?

like the one posted here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2342351&postcount=3099

but I wish it can be made in greatbal's v1.2 theme too :)

cheers!
[Windows Mobile Themes] kockroach:
Hey greatbal, I was wondering if you might be able to do something for me with your status images. Could you make one in blue for me that uses and RGB of 115-135-170? Thanks in advance!
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtkates:
Just wait a few weeks. There will be more greatbal Diamond Theme variations on this site than there are winning lotto number combinations.:eek:
[Windows Mobile Themes] BeyondInvisible:
Sorry to be out of topic, but did you get your phone upgraded, Mtkates? It works fantastic on my phone. But now I have to reinstall all other softwares :(

By the way, still tried to manage to get the Samurai Diamond out, here.

I hope that would satisfy someone.

Done. Until V.2.0 with animation ;) hint, hint

guys I need help on the Weather Tab.

I have just installed SPB Weather and tried to use another weather source (weather.com) so I could get a more accurate/realistic weather forecast.

I followed the instruction here:

http://www.spbclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7840&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

Now when I use greatbal's SPB MS theme and go to the Weather tab, when I tap on the weather icon supposedly to update the forecast, it instead brings me to the Options for SPB Weather!

what did I do wrong? how do I update my weather forecast now?

thanks...

hi greatbal been using ur themes ever since the first diamond version came out..u rock and i thank u for your hard work...i know this one came with the spb phone suite fix...but is there a way to change v1.2 because a earlier fix u came up with it..was the layout W from a while back from v1.1...hope u remember because u moved the spb phone suite icon to near the bottom beside the notification icons...i wonder if v1.2 can be modified to that
[Windows Mobile Themes] gollums:
Thank you and thank you

Well I was looking for ways to customize my SPB Mobile Shell, and came across this site. After looking at your wonderful work and some of the other great authors here I took the plunge - what a difference! Your theme has convinced me that this might be one of the greatest apps for WM6, and your instructions made it easy to get my theme up and running. I can't wait to try some of the others too.

Keep up the great work, it looks like you have developed quite the devoted following! Perhaps I shall make a humble attempt at creating my own theme when permits, but for now I love using the one you created, and with so many options too!

Thank you again, it's a great piece of work!

Would it be possible for layout C to have 3 contactpages with each 3x4 contacts? The default layout makes the pictures look really small.....

Thanx in advance.

I know you must be very busy with all these requests, so i'll understand if it takes a while to make this layout....

[Windows Mobile Themes] ET:
I use the electric blue background wich is really nice with the black digital clock and layout C. Is it possible though to change the color of the bottom 5 icons, they are now black as the default icon and stand out a bit to much, can you also change the contact icon "heart" to"the "phone"?

[Windows Mobile Themes] dinoalbert:
gurus,

can you please help me with my problem...in the Weather Tab, whenever I tap on the weather icon/image to view the details or to update the forecast, it brings me to the Option of SPB Weather.

how can I fix this?

Thanks...
[Windows Mobile Themes] gagaza:
BeyondInvisible, This someone is definitely satisfied. Thank you very much. I've only ever made two requests on this forum and they've both been granted to me. The first one was for Greatbal to keep the weather page and the second one was for these weather icons. You'll never see another request from me.:)

I've got the perfect shell, thanks to all you talented people in this forum.
[Windows Mobile Themes] hamkeng:
Your 3x4_contacts layout is perfect, but on the weather tap, the big weather icons is not centered anymore.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2327834&postcount=1

They have moved down and to the right.

Could you edit the qa_layouts from the big icon weather to 3x4 contacts?

Thank you for your work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] gagaza:
If you want I can help. Just post your qa_layouts. Oh well, have to go to bed now, waited half an hour. :) If you know how, just open your qa_layouts and replace the MainWeather.xml with the one from Beyondnvisible's big weather qa_layout. Make sure it's the newest one that supports landscape, or you'll have the same problem in landscape mode. Good night and good luck.
[Windows Mobile Themes] greatbal:
Which layout are you using so i can "remove" it for you. :)

Note: or if you want, you can post here the qa_layouts.dat you're using as you may have already installed any of the variations posted around here. I'll edit it for you.
[Windows Mobile Themes] greatbal:
I'm not sure I can do that. I can change the hue using a photoeditor, but to specify the specific RGB, I don't know about that. For one thing, the unread "bubble" is of various shades of the hue.

Maybe you can edit the status icon yourself, to suit your need. Just extract the qa_status.dat and edit the status.bmp and zip all the files back. If you need a tutorial on how to do this, just read through this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=378367

Good luck. :)

Now screen icon problem

Firstly just want to add my thanks for this great piece of work.

I've got a problem on the NOW screen though. I've used various layouts and am currently using A. When I select either mail, SMS or calls on the screen using the D pad the icon gets blanked out with a grey square. (see screen shot). Do I need to copy something else after copying the layout files from the zip folder to the mobile shell folder?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] greatbal:
It's a result of a "cheat" I had to make to simulate how the HTC Diamond displays a green bubble to indicate status. If you have been using different SPB MS themes prior to my Diamond theme, all numbers are displayed at the bottom of the corresponding icon. I cheated a little to get the Diamond effect. :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] MyRho:
I can't see any Icons in some of the submenus... (german)

Can anyone help me?

MyRho
[Windows Mobile Themes] kockroach:
Do you have an image that has layers? The BMP files are just a single image. I extracted the image and tried to change the color of the bubble myself, but couldn't do just the bubble. At least not how I was doing it. GIMP only sees a single layer...do you happen to have an original image that has multiple layers? If not, I will have to try something else I guess.

I love your theme. Great work!

Thanks!

EDIT: Or if you need HSV values, they would be 218-32-67.
[Windows Mobile Themes] greatbal:
Do you have photoshop?

Just open the Status.bmp file using photoshop, then choose from the menu Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation. Then slide the Hue "slider" to get your desired color. It will only change the bubble color.

Good luck. :)

I don't have Photoshop, but I tried the same in GIMP. I can change it, but it will take a little bit to get what I want. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! :D

EDIT: I was able to get close to the color I wanted. But I have one question about the number that will show inside the colored bubble. Where in the qa_status.dat file is it located? I believe it is in the lockscreen.xml file, but I am not sure which section. I want to change the text color of the number, such that it doesn't change the text color of all text generated by the lockscreen file. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Heinous:
Sorry if this has been mentioned before but this thread is LONG and I didn't see it when I skimmed through.

When I replace the qa_layouts.dat file and soft reset, my device locks up before ever showing the Now screen. Problem resolves after restoring the original file.

I'm running WM 6.1, Mobile Shell 2.1, and Phone Suite(I also replaced the necessary Phone Suite file).

Any help?
[Windows Mobile Themes] kockroach:
Are you making edits to the qa_layouts file? If so, when you put edited files back in, they have to be encrypted using ZipCrypt Deflate, and use the same password you used to extract the files.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kockroach:
Do you mean this one? It is in A_C's S2U2 thread.
[Windows Mobile Themes] iamnohs:
I also use greatbal's MS Theme, SPB Weather, and used the instructions above to replace the default service with Weather.com. It works for me without issue. So, if you hit the "refresh" button and it takes you to the options, what happens when you hit the "options" button (the one that looks like a gear)?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Heinous:
I didn't make any changes. Was I supposed to?
[Windows Mobile Themes] kockroach:
If you didn't make any edits, then I am not sure why it would lock up on you.

Running Programs

See this post. It will install a reg edit to add Active Tasks(Running Programs) and Games button to your Launcher screen in Mobile Shell. You may have to go into Menu Settings for MS and put a check mark the the appropriate box(s). Just a reminder, you can only display 9 buttons so make sure "My Menu" is not checked.
