This happens when you update by deleting the old folder and adding the new versions folder. There are 2 cures:-

1. Go into the customize menu screen / tools / spb skins and untick or delete them.

2. Run the scripts again for each of the skins by gonig inot the install folder / scripts and clicking on them

However when i upgraded from 2 to 2.5 my thumbnails stayed but clicking on them made the scripts run again so maybe MikiBest fixed it in version 2.5?
[Windows Mobile Themes] MikiBest:
The new 2.5 release ask you if would like to install all available themes when run the Install_**VGA.mscr. It fixes all links, so if you answer "Cancel" to the question, please run again the install script. No more necessary to run each theme-script to install it. :)

Thank you (GRAZIE!)

How can I donate?!

Mikibest,

I'm trying to donate using your PayPal link on the website, but I think my information is getting lost in translation. Can you send me your PayPal link in English, or just PM me your email address so I can send you some Euros?:cool:;):rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Themes] oalex:
Donate

Yes I wanted to suggest this too, the last time i tried, but gave up, cause i wasnt sure of the language and didn't want to risk pressing the wrong things.

An advice: set up an English version too (for the paypal), for the donation, you might get more satisfied ppl trowing e few euros your way. I dont know if you have to open a new paypal for that, but even if it is, i guess it would be worth it on the long run. Just guessing from the way u work (speed/quality). You might also want to add the donate icon in your signature when the english version is ready.

Also you might want to consider putting up the names of the ppl who donated on the site or at the beginning of this forum (be editing the first port), as so many other rom cookers here do. A lot of ppl are egoist, and even if they are not, most will still like being named. Trust me it has a good effect on you income. And you really deserve it as you have done a great job for us. I dont think most of us would be this satisfied with our Omnia (not to talk of all the other PDA-s) if not for you.

Last advice (sorry) you might want to edit the first port and your web site with the uber super new skins you have from v.2.5 as you still have the very old screen shot from v1.0. You know its all about marketing. Personally I think Kyro-Omnia skin is a killer!

BTW: So far the ver. 2.5 is bug free for me!
[Windows Mobile Themes] homer285:
I dont think "most ppl" want to have their name displayed for donating. The donate link is Paypal so I guess you need an account and therefore only need the email address to donate, plus his work is not just good for the Omnia but for all devices.

As far as I have seen (arguably) for me personally there is no OEM, app or skin that makes the WinMo (Omnia or otherwise) more functional than these skins.
[Windows Mobile Themes] oalex:
I am referring to the culture is see here on XDA see fist post here for example: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=352625

I didnt say "want", but "like" and believe me its true for "most" ppl, its not a bad thing. No real names, but forum addys. Its basic human Psyche (but i would rather not go into this with you.

Anyone that wants other wise, can signal that (believe me, I am one of those). Also yes I know about the email for paypal as yesod7 also mentioned that in the post before mine, but i was advising generally.

I am not sure you read my post or understand English correctly, as I said exactly the same thing with the below sentence, in the same post!:

...And you really deserve it as you have done a great job for us. I dont think most of us would be this satisfied with our Omnia (not to talk of all the other PDA-s) if not for you...

[Windows Mobile Themes] scorpion66:
U have got to give this a try

Amazing stuff - you have got to install this - it is a revolution for skins.

I had no trouble with the install - read the instructions a few times and its pretty simple. Just make sure you change the option script to point to your memory card if you install it there ( its a big 24mb+)

My only issue are:-

1. I lost my "my menu" icon which was replaced by a "navigation" icon

2. I prefer a large page of 9 icons but I tired a layout ql layout file from greatball diamond 1.2 work and it seems to work fine on the kryo skins but you have to reboot for it to work and it will need to be done everytime you change a skin

Overall this is a must have and a superb bit of programing many thanks:)

Custom themes?

I tried copyong the 'original' mscr file and editing it to open a different theme file (with all of the .dat file in it), but I don't know a thing about script files. Is there a way to make custom scripts that will install a theme that i've saved on my storage card?

Just like how the 'original' mscr file replaces all of the .dat files from the 'oringal' folder, I want to make a similar mscr file to replace all of the .dat files from a different folder. Impossible?
[Windows Mobile Themes] MikiBest:
Sure it's possible.... create another folder inside the SpbMobileShellSkins and put your .dat file into it. After that, make a copy of Original.mscr, and rename it with the name of your skin (ie. "MySkin"). Edit the script changing only the paths and the parameter where you see the word "Original", replace it with "MySkin". it's all...... after you run the script for the first time you'll find a new item "MySkin" inside the Spb Skins folder, to change to your skin.
[Windows Mobile Themes] MikiBest:
1.Yes, my menu will be truncated by the install script. You can create a menu inside one of the other 9 launcher items.

2. create a full custom folder as i've suggested to jadesdan in the previous post.
[Windows Mobile Themes] lepsyfou:
thank you very much for this update , :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] jadesdan:
cUSTOM tHEMES?

Nevermind, I figured it out. Just creat a folder with all of you theme files, and name it something simple. Then, make a copy of the 'original' file and replace every entry of 'original' with 'theme folder name'. Make sure you rename your new script file to match your theme, then move the files to their respective places on the storage card. I've done this with two different themes so-far and it works great! Thank you for this!

Question: I ran one of the Luna scripts to start but didn't like it. Now I cant get that Luna option out of the SPB sub menu. Any help?

Hi !! Very good job again for this update

But i have two questions

I added the OSX skin and it works good (just don't have the white top bar) and i tryied to add the greatbal Omnia theme but i don't have the down icons maybe cause of the différent layout ?

And i tryied to add à numeric clock in the analog clock section (to don't have the calendar under clock) How can i do ?

I installed version 1.3 QVGA last night for my HTC TOUCH CROUISE (Polaris).

It works perfectly, it's really simple to use.

Congratulations and thank you, what happiness no longer make soft-reset, and it's fun to change the skin simplement!

Now I will try to add other skins by modifying the .mscr scripts.

3 Questions:

Is it possible to add the latest programs used on the NOW SCREEN. MRU to have 5 buttons (as the theme Blue Waves v1.2 here)

Is it possible to display icons 4 (mail, SMS / MMS, call history, and voice mail) on the NOW SCREEN

Do you plan to make it compatible with VGA (diamond)?

brilliant work love it thanks mike
[Windows Mobile Themes] Madremiha:
I have a little request:

Again about the calendar under the digital clock

When we choose the classic now screen, we can choose between Analog clock or digital clock

If we choose analog clock we have just the analog clock and the status icons under

And if we choose digital clock we have the digital clock, the calendar under and the status icon under

And if we choose the professionnal now screen we have the same screen as classic screen with digital clock

Do you think you can do that when we choose the classic now screen with digital clock we don't have the calendar under?

Thank again for all your job !!!

[Windows Mobile Themes] cbolumar:
Two new Skins

I put here two new skins QVGA ONLY:

- Kiro OmniaBlue : is the omnia skin but blue color. You can use it with Omnia Icons, Omnia weather, etc.

There is a Omniablue.tsk theme to use with this skin.

- Kiro Manila : With manila icons, manila Analogic clock, manilla buttons, manila status,etc. The Dclock i prefer is the trasparent.

There is a Manila.tsk theme to use with this skin.

You must copy all over your SpbMobileShellSkins 2.5 directory and run the new skin scripts

Copy the themes .tsk in your windows directory as usual.

Hi MikiBest

I've some problem about Wireless Menu at "Top Bar". There's no effect or any change when I try to enable or disable BT and other.

Good Luck! I've found some help content from FaQ at your site.

I don't have cplmain_26 key. And after I do follow your procedure. It's seem better.

But....:confused: menu is not match with action.

example

When I select BT-On, WirelessLAN is activated.

When I select BT-Off. BT is off (It's shown BT s already off) :) (it's correct)

When I select Phone-off, BT is enabled

When I select Phone-off again, BT is disabled

But when I select BT off while BT is still enabled, WLAN is enabled:eek:

and etc.

However I love your application too much. Thank you for develop nice sw.

But it' be better if I can solve this problem:D...

Thank again

DClock for Lunia Omnia

Hi Mikibest,

Thanks a lot for your latest release which is getting greater. One little request from my side is about the option for the Digital clock when we choose Lumia Omnia, all other seem in white which is not well constrast with the light backgound. Could you make a Dclock set in dark colour?

Thanks a lot.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Strop:
MikiBest,

Suggestion to improve your product.

1. The unistall script should preserve "MySkin" directory.

2. The install script should ask if the current .dat files are to be copied to the MySkin directory first.

3. The script question "ContinueCancel" should be changed to "YesNo".

4. I prefer to use my own background and now tabs with your buttons and icons. Would be great if you incorporated the following options and directories:

MyBackground

MyNow

MyPrograms

MyContacts

MyWeather

This would allow me to add my own items (only one of each)

I hope you will consider some or all of these suggestions.

Regards

2 clocks with No calender home/main screen fix

Hello all

i noticed that on 2 clocks No calender there is a rectangle under the clock that is shadowed & still brings up the calender

i wanted to get rid of that rectangle to have cleaner look & less errors of bringing calender up when not meaning to from main screen

i also added the glow effect above status icons on landscape

i just fixed the 2 clocks No calender xml files for light & dark backgrounds

just unzip, & replace the files in your ppc with mine in their relative folders

(do not replace the whole folder..just the files inside)

Can someone please help me. I have an Omnia and I have been trying to get these skins for days now. InstallMenus.mscr is not in the english patch folder and I am so lost. Can someone explain what I should do for a dummy like me.:confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] MikiBest:
No need english patch, simply download the WQVGA 2.5 Omnia version from here:

http://www.imarche.net/omnia/fullpacks.php

Remove completely the old SpbMobileShellSkins folder if you had installed a previous version.

Unizip the 2.5 zip into the "My Storage" (or Storage card) and run the

"Install_WQVGA.mscr" [if it doesn't work, execute first Mortscript.exe]
[Windows Mobile Themes] Jokes On You:
Ive done that but then I dont have the SPB skins options in the shell folder.
[Windows Mobile Themes] MikiBest:
After the zip extraction you should have the SpbMobileShellSkins folder. Enter inside and then into the Scripts folder. Here you can find the

Install_WQVGA.mscr script. If you tap this, the script will display you a list of languages, select yours. Next question is if you want install all themes. Answer yes. The Install_WQVGA.mscr script will create the Spb Skins option in the shell folder with all the theme links inside. Tap one of them to start complete the installation.
[Windows Mobile Themes] pana800:
Hi Mikibest,

Thanks a lot again for your app. I was really impressed with the idea of the options script that can automatically recognize the new .dat files in new folders.

One minor suggestion you may consider is the green bar (among the 3 color bars) for phone status. I think we should keep the blue (bluetooth) and yellow (wireless) bars and leave the green one to save space. I don't think it really necessary since we already have the operator logo indicating the phone status. Or is it there just for good appearance?

Sorry if this doesn't make sense.

[Windows Mobile Themes] scorpion66:
MikiBest - I wish u luck with this idea but I think it could cause a lot of issues

1. If it takes off and u make money then everyone else on the forums will start charging and before long the whole thing will die as the best thing about mucking around with skins is its free. And a lot of stuf is rubbish and not worth paying for (not your program - it rocks!)

2. Copyright - did you hand drawn / photoshop the clocks? if not someone somewhere owns em and you cant sell em. Same goes for any other

stuff you try to sell :eek:

3. Copyright Isssue 2 - SPB may well get funny if people making things for its software start charging - rememeber they kind of let us make changes but may well put a stop to all skinning if they feel other people are making money.

4. Paying for stuff is just not something I personaly would do and I also would not think about charging - I get many requests for 64x icon sets every week and enjoy people requesting them and for me thats enough.

The real shame is SPB dont recognise the skill of the best skinners and programers and offer either free software or money to them for the use of the stuff in the next versions. I would love to flog a few of my icon sets to SPB!

(then again the copyright issue could cause issues).

Anyway sorry to go on so much, I am not being critical of your idea as I think what you have done so far is superb.

[Windows Mobile Themes] MikiBest:
Thank you for these questions!

1. This is my own risk, because people are free to pay and get my components or to get the other free works.

2. I don't draw the clocks, but i get real clocks pictures and adapt them with a graphic tool to the spb format. I don't think these are copyright protected, because i don't sell phisical replicas. Components made by other users (if freeware) will be included into the freeware package. Sure I can't sell them. (For example I'll never sell your button series.)

3. I don't think SPB will stop the skinning because of they are earning lot of money with the diffusion of their software. If they stop this, people maybe will stop to use SPB MS switching to another customizable tool.

4. My work is now and will be in the future completely free of charge. If people make donations when they use the tool, I shouldn't need to sell nothing.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Cassatta:
Mikibest, you make a really great job but I must agree with scorpion66.
[Windows Mobile Themes] hkkenchoi:
Mikibest, you really did a good job and I like this app very much

However, I found some minor problems with the skin perhaps?

When you choose thediamond-black for weather in VGA mode, the phone profile logo next to battery icon will be disappear. Also the big weather status logo would also disappear (seems with diamond-black and greenland).

I don't know if this is a personal matter or some bugs, maybe you can check with it.
