Hi people!!

I have a few questions...

1) I have a couple of icons that appears to be blocked (Calendar, Icon 2 - is the configuration of the brightness etc)... the problem is that I have, for example, to icons of calendar etc... how can I configure this icons or remove that others?

2) I opened the SPBMobileShell.txt file to rename the icons but I found another problem: when I try to change an icon from his place or try to include new icons, the order of the icons is changed and the "new" icon gets the name that I included (now, a wrong name)

3) Is that a way to edid the 4 icons on the botton of the theme (Home, Launcher, Contacts and Contacts)? What I want is to create three pages of programs and jus one with contacts, and I also want to change the name of that buttons...

I think that is just this for now. I´m sorry for my english, but I´m from Brazil and I tried to write very simple.

Nice theme. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] JstarLuvsTina:
pretty dope..

i like this one better than ur first drop!

dl'd for future refrence
[Windows Mobile Themes] drb123:
On your screenshots, one of your Icons has "Settings" while another lists "Tools".

I am wondering if these are referring to the settings part of Mobile Shell?

I thought that you could only assign an individual program to a Icon, not a category.

Please explain! Thanks and nice job ;)

PS: If I were to change back to another skin like Omnia, how can I continue to use the extra Icons that are now available thru your skin via Mobile Shell? What file is that and can it be copied into another skin? Thanks again.

it is possible. you will need photoshop to do it though. check this thread for instructions

the file for the background is separator.bmp, in the qp_bkg_now.dat and ql_bkg_now.dat files

here you go! i did landscape too this time, i forgot on the other one :)

almost there! i have portrait tested, just need to do landscape. will post tommorrow...
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtstmp:
okay here goes,

1) the calendar icon is locked. it's "hard-coded" into the background, on file separator2.bmp. there is a clock shortcut overlayed onto this icon, which takes you to the time page, in this case, the calendar. if you want to change this icon, open that file up in qp_bkg_now.dat and edit. if you want to change the other icons, they are located in the qp_menu_btn.dat. if you want to remove the brightness icon, that's an option in spb settings.

2) unfortunately, i haven't found a way to display the names of the icon shortcuts wiithout manually editing them. every time you switch the icon positions, you'll have to change the spbmobileshell.txt file.

3) the tab icons on the bottom are again "hard coded" into the background. they are located in the file separator1.bmp. I did this so they would always show their full color on screen. if you would like, i can help you edit the layout and make it to your liking.

i hope this helps! thanks for trying my theme!
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtstmp:
you can pin any link or file or menu or submenu. i did the tools and settings spb submenus. check the first post for instructions. don't be afraid to play around! as for changing to another theme, do you mean you want to use the icon graphics, or you want the ability to have more icons on the screen?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtstmp:
YOU!

thanks bro! :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] alvinito64:
It would be great if the size of the picture in contact is similar with the other icon page 4x3 to have a uniformity.

thanks, its beautiful.

Unexpected bug/error

Theme is great, but i have unexpected bug. After some time of use, when i tried to tap icon, it shows only menu "pin, remove etc.", not proper action.

This happend for all icons, except predefined by author Calendar, weather, email, text, calls on first screen and tabs home, launcher, contacts, contacts on first screen also.

After soft reset all returning to good stage, but after some time that strange behavior of my Artemis come back.

It is only with this skin iPhone version 2, but i love that skin.

Please, help me and sorry my bad english.
[Windows Mobile Themes] drb123:
Yes, I want to be able to use the icon graphics or add some different icons to the basic Mobile Shell Icons that are available to use for individual applications under each category. You know, when you add an application, it allows you to edit it and choose a different icons. Where do I find the folder that contains these icons and how do I add icons to this folder - thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] owlmatt:
First off, this looks amazing and thank you, but I am still having the same issue as the older version. After sometime the icons fall to bottom right of the boxes they were previously centered in and get cut off. If I soft reset it goes back the center, but soon after gets skewed. Any advice?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtstmp:
hmmm, i'm not sure what's up. are you using ms 2.1.2? try a reinstall of mobile shell and then the theme. see if that helps...
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtstmp:
the files you are looking for are in the qp_menu_btn.dat file. porting them to another theme might look off, as the icons are larger than the default. check the forum spb mobile shell beginners how to, to find out how to edit. good luck!
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtstmp:
icons

this will happen when you "downswipe" on the screen to get back to the winmo desktop. the icons are resized and mobile shell doesn't like it. just try not to do that! if that's not the case, i'm not sure how to help...sorry :confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] davehutch:
One issue, one question...

issue is my operator name overlaps the signal meter. (vodafone UK)

Question is how do i get "Alarms" on screen and does it show the actual time? (alright two questions!)
[Windows Mobile Themes] drb123:
The qp_menu_btn.dat folder contains the 9 icons seen on the Mobile Shell view that shows the folders such as settings, programs, my menu, etc.

I have several diffeerent qp_menu_btn.dat folders that have different icon packages for this view, such as the nice ones in Omnia and Diamond shells.

But, there is also a file/folder within qp_menu_btn.dat that contains icons that you can amend to each program by going into settings > mobile shell > advanced > menu > pressing on the application name (Resco Explorer, Pocket Informant) > choosing edit and switching icons. This is the icon collection that I want to add new icons into. I have a shell that offers you a group of icons (different from iphone and different from the default icons) and I want to add them to the default icons....Is there someone who would be willing to do that for me??

I had difficulty opening the qp_menu_btn.dat folder using b0fM18zq as the password. Once the folder starts to open it asks for a "second password".

I am:confused: I could upload the 2 qp_menu_btn.dat folders
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtstmp:
carrier and clock

does it say just vodafone, or vodafone uk? please type it EXACTLY as it appears (VODAFONE, Vodafone, Vodafone UK, etc.) that would help me fix it. as for the clock, you need to

- settings

- customize menu

- "menu" softkey

- "add" - "file"

- \Windows\clock.exe

- then select the clock icon.

the clock doesn't show the time, but it could. you would have to put it in a specific position though. i tried that with my last theme, with the calendar button, and it gave too many people trouble. i could set it up though if you'd like...
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtstmp:

i would be happy to help. upload the files, and if you can remember where you got them, post the link too. having two passwords sounds kinda goofy, i haven't run into that anywhere yet!

[Windows Mobile Themes] drb123:
mtstmp

Here is one of the qp_menu_btn.dat files. I believe it came from a skin called iphone by Azzarram, it has been around for at least 4 or 5 months. This one contains a bunch of 'different icons'.

What would be perfect would a file that goes within qp_menu_btn.dat files with all of the application icons so that I can replace and add this part of the qp_menu_btn.dat file to all of my skins. That way the 9 icons for that page of each skin would be unique and the application icons would be available for each qp_menu_btn.dat file in each skin. I hope that I am clear in my intent!
[Windows Mobile Themes] drb123:
Enclosed in the qp_menu_btn.dat file from LdoStang's Blue Waves skin. This has the basic application icons in it (default icons)
[Windows Mobile Themes] anesh01:
Can they make this theme to work for the square screens or the 240x240
[Windows Mobile Themes] Blitzed26:
I know my question will probably yield a very simple answer making my question seem stupid.

On the contacts pages I select the contact and it gives me the options for all the numbers I have associated to that specific contact.

The problem/question:

I can't choose the top left number which is the default number. The other 3 numbers can be selected and it immediately calls those numbers. In order to call the default number I need to "open" and choose from the WM contacts screen.

What am I doing wrong?
[Windows Mobile Themes] tuantuan:
thanks bro,

it's really a nice face.

I come from china,and I use it for only a few days.

I found that the contact got some bugs.......
[Windows Mobile Themes] davehutch:
Thanks for the reply. I won't put the Alarms icon on in that case. I can make do with the small clock at the top.

The operator name reads "Vodafone UK" (I can't actually see the left end of the name so it could be "vodafone UK".

I have found another issue though (Same as post 100 and 101):

In the Contacts screens, the first button isn't showing and the icon is wrong. It means I can't dial the first number (screenshot below).
[Windows Mobile Themes] Blitzed26:
Reminders

One other question. When I have a reminder it does make noise and vibrate, but if I don't catch it at the time there is nothing on my screen to show I missed the reminder. I can't find an icon that would show me any current alarms or reminders.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtstmp:
conatact

what version of mobile shell are you using? mine works fine with 2.1.2...
[Windows Mobile Themes] anaelechi:
first of all,....great skinn

i am using 2.1.2 on a sprint Mogul phone and also do not have a working top left button in contacts.

unfortunately most of my contacts disply mobile number in that non-active top left corner...so i makes photo contants unusable.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Blitzed26:
I am using 2.1.2 and my screen looks the same as the above poster in #102. The top left box isn't a button. So you can't call the number in the top left box.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtstmp:
OOPS!

HOLY CRAP! how did i miss that! my bad i just saw it. i had so many files goin i didn't try the download! fix in an hour. :eek::eek::eek:
[Windows Mobile Themes] Blitzed26:
You the man! What are your thoughts on including a button similar to the email, sms, and calls - Called Reminders or Alarms.

I have missed two reminders now since there is no icon or notification to let me know. (i missed the original notification.)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtstmp:
contact button

the contact button for the main number dial has been fixed! i'm sorry ya'll. one letter was off in the coding and disabled the graphic. zip on main page has been updated as well. thanks again for trying my theme!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Blitzed26:
Thanks and your theme is AWESOME!
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtstmp:

unfortunately mobile shell doesn't support this feature at this time, and there is no "work around" that i know of. maybe they will add it in the future

vodafone patch

try out this file and let me know. another screenshot would be helpful. also, the contact button is fixed!
[Windows Mobile Themes] davehutch:
Nearly right, not quite though

Screenshot attached:

Contact button now works, but the icon is still wrong...it seems to show a portion of the old icon that was in place before your theme was applied. Always just the top left icon that is wrong whether it's "work", "mobile" etc

"vodafone UK" now shows OK, but in individual contact screens, the font increases and touches the clock (just).

Hope that's enough info to be going on with. Will post screenshot tonight.

Excellent theme. Just what I was looking for. Thank you
[Windows Mobile Themes] Stig710:
Bravo!

But I need VGA version :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] anaelechi:
thanks so much...your skin is dope!
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtstmp:
vodafone patch

okay i think this should do it! i included two versions, i noticed you were using a military clock. that file should center it. the font size increases on purpose because the rest of the page (the numbers and the number labels) would be too tiny i think. i fixed the icons, but it involved a quick photoshop trick, so they aren't spectacular. i hope you don't mind too much. let me know your thoughts. thanks again for your input, it's much appreciated!

New issues

First issue:

Hi again, although generally the vodafone fix works, on many ocassions I get the Operator Name showing twice (Screenshot attached).

As a further clue, if the wireless icon is present in the top bar, the vodafon etx does not appear twice.

Also, should there be a bluetooth indicator?

Second issue:

I also get a problem with the icons getting cut off. It happened when an alarm went off and my device switched to the Today Screen to show me the message (screenshot also attached)

thanks for your hard work so far...

Hey,I found 2 bugs when using this theme on a Herald:

1)the name of the provider (t-mobile for me) moves to right side, everytime after close spb mobile shell and stays like that until I restart my phone.

2)In the bottom screen, everytime I slide to the next page, Half of the bottom icons move with the slide which looks funny.

Hey would this be compatible on the TREO 800W for Sprint. I just recently purchased it and am debating on whether or not to keep the phone. I will either keep the 800W or return it for the DIAMOND this coming week. OK so, let me rephrase what i want to ask

1) Could this be installed the 800W?

2) Could this be installed the HTC DIAMOND for SPRINT?

Any help is greatly appreciated :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] pylesw:
Verizon Wireless also gets cut off. I resorted to shortening the operator name by updating the following registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State\Phone]

"Current Operator Name"="(Your desired name)"

Problem solved.

Update: Apparently when you reconnect to the cellular provider, they reset that registry value back to the correct text. So, problem not solved. Oh well....
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtstmp:
compatability & operator

as far as device compatability is concerned, THIS THEME WILL ONLY WORK ON 240X320 SCREEN RESOLUTIONS! I.E., it won't work on a diamond, diamond touch pro, or omnia. I'm sorry, but I probably won't be working on a conversion any time soon.

As far as operator status goes, i'll try some fixes in my spare time, but I am hard at work on something new. As a quick fix, I recomend a program called "Personalizer." This will allow you to change your operator name to whatever you want it to be. This is what I use to attempt the fixes for other carrier names. It works quite well, see if that helps.

How to change default Program Icons?!

Does anyone know if there is a program to change the program icons..

I installed (and love) this theme, and when I go to "Manage Pinned" and add programs like youtube, quickclear, totalcommander, ect.. it shows the small default icon inside the larger button space.. How do I change that icon to a downloaded one that will match the theme and fill the button space?!

Any suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Themes] reamalaka:
Well I got the icons to show fully now. Installed 2.1.2 version

Damn thing won't stay put.

I pin one down and it moves.

I tell it move right and it stays there.

I tell it delete and it stays some times it deletes. Seems like the manage pinned menu changes all the time as well. Either i really don't know how to read the instructions or this thing is broke.

I spend about 1 hour trying to order these bastards then edit the file to make the names fit and when i open a program or use the phone at all they move and then i am back to square one.

Anyone feeling me on this ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] reamalaka:
As Jeiyuu indicated first select all 20 items from the manage pin and things work properly.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jeiyuu:
Make sure that you are selecting the program by holding down on any of the icons and selecting "Manage Pinned".. Once you have the screen up (as shown in post #1), you MUST select the appropriate check box near EACH application you want a button for..

Once those programs are selected, they will appear on the interface to be rearranged (moved left or right)..

What is happening, is that by not selecting the programs from "Manage Pinned" checkboxes, the interface will pull up the most recently used programs and insert them after each program you checked in the "Manage Pinned" selection screen.

There is no need to use the "Pin" option, because all programs selected will be automatically pinned when selected from the "Manage Pinned" selection screen...

Whew, hopefully that sheds some light..
