i am using a verizon touch and mine seems to run fine? what device are you using and what are the ram and processor specs for it?
[Windows Mobile Themes] gagaza:
I find that the easiest way to change the text for labels is just to edit the SpbMobileShell.txt that is in your SPB folder.

Like this:

VIP|Family

PersonalFriends

Business|Work

MRU|Recently Used

Claret|Maroon

It's just the original name followed by the name you want to change it to.

People please try it. You'll be surprised at how easy it is. No messing with .xmls.

Just add as your first few lines that way it's easy to find, should you want to edit or add/delete.

You can actually just copy and paste all or parts of my example into that text file, then reset. You'll be happy with the results. Simple yet effective

Check this... Go to Mobile Shell settings, Animation, and uncheck "enable taskbar smart gestures" and "animate transitions" and see if that fixes your issue. (You'll still be able to use your finger to go from screen to screen.)

[Windows Mobile Themes] froesei:
Was wondering if it's possible to have both the transparent top and bottom bar (which is great), as well as the flexibility to change the "status colour" in the bottom bar. For example, I'm using the Midnight colour status, but if I use the transparent fix, it defaults back to the default colour.

Thanks.

[Windows Mobile Themes] gagaza:
Here are my adjustments to personalize this theme for me.

On the time screen I have a full calendar page that shows my different cities, appointments, and alarms.

All of which, brings me to their respective programs when pressed. I don’t even know who to credit for this. It’s not my idea. I know that I saw it somewhere and really loved the concept of tying everything together.

The top has the typical info. The bottom has the back arrow and an alarm icon that you can use, for when you have no pending alarms listed.

My weather screen is cleaner looking, I think. And I am using my favorite weather icons. Thanks to BeyondInvisible.

The only thing I need to do is to move the back buttons on both pages. Right now I have to press to the left of them to activate the press. When I reposition the text, the press point also moves. So far wherever I move it I still have to press to the left. Aside from that it works great.

Like I mentioned these changes are for my personal preferences. But I am uploading in case anyone else likes my changes. In the folder I have the qa_layouts and the weather icons. As usual back up your files then overwrite with these and reset.

Again to Greatbal, Thank you so so much for your wonderful work. I love this theme.

I've been trying to upload all day. Finally it let me upload pics.

I can't seem to upload a 628 kb zip file. And these pics took a bizillion tries.:confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] jkrj524:
Wow, your input is amazing! I hope you can upload your file soon. I would love to try it out.

I have in the contacts all the birthdays’ info.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kenlewisesq:
V2.0 is looking great but I do have some questions:

1) Is it possible to change the SMS icon to the Calendar tab?

2) Is it possible to change the applications which are launched when different areas are pressed on the Now screen (e.g. press the clock launch the system clock area; press the battery launch the system battery area, press the connection icon launch the Comm Manager; etc.)
[Windows Mobile Themes] greatbal:
SPB Mobile Shell doesn't support all-day events at the moment. :(

So what I did is to put birthdays not as all-day event but starting from 12mn to 12mn, an appointment the whole day! :(

[Windows Mobile Themes] wisniak:
Is there a way to have a volume icon on the Today screen?

currently I have to press that small icon in the top right corner, it's not very convenient.

In the original Shekk, I remember that they had a larger button on screen.

eg, mtkates' "Ultimate WM7 Theme for SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 " shows such a volume icon, to the right of the clock.

And another question: the sample screen posted here shows the top 3 current appointments, and below that - the calendar.

My screen does not show any appointments (although my calendar is full).

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtstmp:
THANKS!!!!!!

THANKS A MILLION!
[Windows Mobile Themes] gagaza:
Thanks, that's what I wanted. That's the background that I used from the first days of the diamond theme until now.

I just had to stop using it when I upgraded yesterday. The old one had a top and bottom bar which prevented me from using it on this theme.

And I don't have photosop. Wow, how lucky am I? I didn't even have to ask for it. it just magically appeared :)

Here's the .tsk file if anyone wants it. Just unzip and use.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dinoalbert:
@gagaza...where can I find those in the text file? I opened my SpbMobileShell.txt but I cannot see these

VIP|Family

PersonalFriends

Business|Work

MRU|Recently Used

Claret|Maroon
[Windows Mobile Themes] gagaza:
They aren't there yet. You create or add them in.

Do this for me. Copy the SpbMobileShell.text file onto your computer. Open it with notepad.

Copy and paste the first line of my example, making it the first line in the SpbMobileShell.txt. Save and close the file. Put it back into your phone.

Reset and you'll see that the vip contact page is now labled Family.

If you try what I suggest it will all make sense. Then you can change as many lables as you want, by adding more lines.

As long as you enter the original text seperated by the line followed by the text you want it to change to, It will work for most lables.

It still amazes me how quick and easy it works. Once it works for you, you'll wish you'de known about it before.

These instructions, that I just suggested to you, are assuming that you are using Greatbal's latest theme and a contact page is labled vip.

Added note those aren't backslashes. It's the line thingy when you shift backslah|||||
[Windows Mobile Themes] davesurfer:
I was thinking what would be cool is this: A dynamic home page button display for the three messaging/phone buttons. So when there is no new emails, text messages, missed phone calls or phone messages, those buttons aren't displayed. Instead, what displays are:

1. The Contacts button

2. The MRU button

3. The Programs/Games? button

Then, when there is a text message, one of the three previous buttons gets replaced, or a phone message etc.

Greatbal, you probably have some layouts in the works as I speak but this would be neat.

Thanks! And again, loving it!
[Windows Mobile Themes] davesurfer:
You know the signal bars and "coat hanger" icon on the middle top to show connection status and signal strength? I think this might be tied to SPB Mobile Shell, but the "Today" screen used to change that icon to two opposite arrows above the signal bars when connected to the Internet. This was handy because I could click on the icon and it would take me to the Comm Manager where I could disconnect easily.

Now, I have the Comm Manager on the MRU, a few more steps then simply clicking on the top bar. It's also nice to see what connection and if you are connected at all times.

Like I said, probably a Mobile Shell thing but something I miss from when I just had the basic Today page.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] gagaza:
The portrait .bmp is only 240x280. So it doesn't cover the bottom of the pages. When you have have pages with thick bottom bars it's ok. But there are to many pages with the bottom exposed to make this usable.

May I please request it be 240x320. Even if you just add solid black as a filler it would work just fine. These are the times I wish I had photosop to change and save it with the proper attributes. Sorry to ask for such a simple fix.

TIA

[Windows Mobile Themes] dinoalbert:
@greatbal,

I must have missed something. I noticed in your screenshot above...you can hightlight the Clock. But mine doesnt. When I move my D-pad, it can highlight the Main/Home, then the Tabs, then the Appointments/Alarm, but doesnt not highlight the Clock.....it does highlight the Speaker icon.....so it means it skipped highlighting the Clock.

any advise?

Btw, may I ask..what ROM are you using?

Thanks..
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dpakrawal:
Yup.. I figuered that out.. After writin the post.. Do you have any idea as to how this theme could be made available on a VGA device... I was thinkin of renaming all the .dat and .xml files from QA... to VA.. Not sure whether it would work.. But thought of givin it a try.. Any suggestions ?!??!
[Windows Mobile Themes] greatbal:
Nice idea. But what if you don't have unread messages or missedcalls or voicenotes, and then you would like to open messaging or check your previous call history? Then you would have to go to dig into SPB menu for their corresponding icons. Wouldn't that be a lot of steps?
[Windows Mobile Themes] daeshawn:
Weird

not tryin to be mean or anything, but i still can figure out why diamond users would want this theme when it purpose is to emulate the diamond for those who don't currently own one. I dont know if anyone can explain that to me.....just doesnt make sense..i mean if y'all got your reasons then y'all got your reasons...i'm jsut tryin to understand....

[Windows Mobile Themes] greatbal:
Ooops! Sorry about that. I never used the black one so I forgot toe dit the mask file to have the highlight and the drop shadow. :p

Here's the updated one. Just download, unzip on your hard disk and transfer the dat file to your SPB Mobile Shell directory.

Enjoy! :)

Thanks for the files

Unfortunately this didn’t work for me - I followed the instructions

took the originals - and renamed them to with a .ZIP extension

renamed the Separator2land

placed both files into the zip archive using the provided password (thank you) I knew there was one but this keeps it active.

soft reset my TILT and when it rebooted SPB MS would not initialize - I do see some funky new squares on my today screen though - but it's as if SPBWatcher doesn’t like the changes.

could this be do to the new diamond 2.0 - I was able to get the color changes in the older version.

Thanks for the assistance though - I am happy to entertain any ideas - Just a blue fan is all

Otherwise greatbal - this is awesome
[Windows Mobile Themes] formula84:
My Greatbal Diamond v2

So I love the 2.0 theme, but the only problem I have is its a mem hog, I really don't need 3 contact pages I can live with one. Does anyone have the instructions to mod to 1 contact page? I could also save mem by dumping the MRU page (i really like having the backlight adjust though), can someone tell me were i can find the info to put the backlight MRU in the main programs screen replacing on of the 9 buttons? See attached Pic below User (ahmedfikry). Also here are some screenys of my phone thanks to all the skinners that made this possible.

Edit*** This layout and customizations were not done by myself, but rather I just took a bunch of things and mixed them together... just wanted to make sure people didn't think I was posting this as my customization by "MY" i meant on my device.

Nice! I like to see options for icons other than games - in the case above Agenda. I'd like to see 10 or 11 icons in each set (I don't use the games graphic so I'm limited to the skins I can use, and I am the furthest thing from an artist)

Looks good. It looks like you used my layout with time and weather page changes. I notice a problem.

Your carrier name is running into your time on the top bar of the time page. I didn't consider this when I posted. I use ATT.

Anyway, I will fix it for you and post here. If you wouldnt have posted, I never would have known about it.

No one has given any feedback.

Here's an update for people using these modifications and have a long carrier name.

The time is moved farther to the left. All you need from the file is the qa_layouts.dat
[Windows Mobile Themes] formula84:
Thanks very much, I have not even tried editing any layouts of my own yet but would like to begin by trying to get the Backlight MRU in the main program screen, and removing the extra 2 pages of contacts I don't need.
