I get an error similar to

the file *nowscreen* can not opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.

the correct chosen skin will come up though, but only after a soft reset.

otherwise the ability to change skins quickly and their assortment is nice.

UPDATE

For some reason the nowscreen link in my registry was "broken". I pointed it to the correct settings again and everything works fine.. without soft resetting.

It makes it very easy to set up new themes by simply editing the .mscr. I've also changed some of the weather graphics around with no issues.

THANKS!!

+1 for this...

thats gonna be such an awsome feature!

Where is the script?

On the website it says to extract all files to my storage/spbmobileshellskins then execute installmenus.mscr. I cannot find this script in the download. I changed the options.ini to go to storage card instead of my storage. I downloaded the qvga english version. Anyone get this to work?
[Windows Mobile Themes] JstarLuvsTina:
can we change the weather files ourselves for now? or will it throw things off?

i usually use "beyond invisible" sets, but i just want to know if it'll work..
[Windows Mobile Themes] theme freak:
seems cool but a bit hard to understand the instruction :D

anyway great work :)

Just installed it on Artemis without any problems, works perfect.

I am hardly waiting for next enhancements.

Impresive work, thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dicast:
I believe you only download the path and not the full version. Please download the full version which in Italian then download the English path and overwrite those files in the full version with the files in the patch. Remove the file SpbMobileShell.txt inside \SpbMobileShellSkins\Scripts. Hope that help
[Windows Mobile Themes] surgicalsnack:
Ok, I'm having tons of trouble installing this. The main problem at the moment seems to be that mortscript.exe in the scripts folder is showing as a FOLDER, not an executable. Thus, I cannot complete the installation.

Anyone else having this problem? I've re-downloaded several times, all with the same result.

Ok, fixed this by downloading mortscript from the official site. Still, someone might want to check this. :) Great program!

Backlight Issue

MikiBest,

I love this program. I am having a backlight issue with it, though. Even though all of my backlight settings are set to never turn the backlight off, every time I end a call, the backlight dims and stays dim until I start another call or program. Am I missing a setting somewhere? Does anyone else have this problem?

Thanks!

I don't think this is a problem of Spb MS, try to check your display configuration into the Windows Settings.

All of my settings are correct; this issue has only occured with this program. Has anyone else experienced this?:confused::confused::confused:

[Windows Mobile Themes] MikiBest:
Thank you for these beautiful icons, if you agree i can plan to include other button sets created with your icons. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] scorpion66:
MikiBest - I am so happy with the program, my only problem now is I have so many options I can no longer decide on my favorite and keep playing around constantly. My PS3 is getting upset as all I do is play around with my HTC Touch!

Your website is also superb, great design.

You are welcome to use any of my icon sets and if you need any special ones made let me know.

Keep up the great work:)

Heart icon in Ver. 1.4.1

Great Job once again Miki. Its only getting better.

The new Kyro Omnia is a killer. One thing you might have over looked tough. If you select the Omnia buttons and status bar (to go with the new skin), in the home screen all look fine except the heart icon, which remains grayish. It looks weird with all the colored icons next to it, could you add a little color to that please (maybe red would look fine, with the Omnia icons as they are green, yellow and blue).

Cheers.

No it does not, I have the latest still with this problem.

He will probably sort it out soon. He has been very industrious and helpful so far. If someone does, he deserves a donation, I will soon make one and encourage others to do so.

Hi Mikibest,

I am so addicted to your utility and play around with it for days. Could you in the next release add one more option where we can change the tab icons (in the bottom of the screen) so that when we select other theme not DIAMOND like we can change the tab icon too. I'd like anothe options like this theme by Littlerain: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=392985

[Windows Mobile Themes] MikiBest:
This is the standard Spb MS / Spb Weather integration functionality, i can't do nothing for it. You should forward the question to Spb
[Windows Mobile Themes] MikiBest:
Now it's possible to select also the style for the Status icons (email/SMS/LostCalls on the Now page)

Yes, I know this issue; i'll fix it in the next release

Fixed! (From next release)

I'll try to add also these icons, TY
[Windows Mobile Themes] MikiBest:
It's is possible to create night icon weather sets, but for the moment you should switch from day to night manually.
[Windows Mobile Themes] MikiBest:
Unfortunally the tab icons are included into the same background .dat file, so they are strictly related to the background you choose. Is not possible to separate this choices. :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] pana800:
Thanks a lot for replying. It would be nice if you could teach me how to created some kind of hot spot (where we can click to bring up menu or perform action) on the now screen like what you have succeeded.

Sorry if that is too much.

Thanks much
[Windows Mobile Themes] iamnohs:
Your work here is fantastic and turnaround times on releases incredibly fast. I really look forward to the next release where the luna contacts text is black. This is truly awesome.

Edit: Wait, is the luna contact text color change in release 1.4.1 or the next release? I only did an update from 1.4 to 1.4.1, not a full re-install, so I might have missed the change to the old layouts. I'll have to check now.
[Windows Mobile Themes] scorpion66:
Hi MikiBest

Just noticed something wrong on v1.41 - the drop down menu for phone / wifi / bt works and all seems ok but my phone does not get a signal when I select it via this menu. When I check in the standard conection manager it reports phone as on with no signal. If I turn phone on and off from conection manager then it gets the signal. Its no big deal but thought I should report it. :confused:

Hi Miki,

I registered so I can congratulate you for your great great work.

I also would like to repeat the question of the poster above:

Is there a way to replace the contacts/weather tab with other tabs ?

For example Multimedia tab ?

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskovrinskie:
Somehow I missed that in the FAQ. The steps are not clear though. I know that the profiles.dat needs to be updated if you are using Phone Suite with custom Mobile Shell skins and have done that before with custom skins, but the steps in the FAQ are not clear on where to get that. It says:

"Extract from the full package the file "profiles.dat" and copy it into the Spb Phone Suite installation dir."

What "Full Package"is this referring to? Profiles.dat does not exist in the download at http://www.imarche.net/omnia/download/SpbMobileShell2.1-QVGA-Skins_Release1.4.zip and I can't find any place at the site to download the full skin releases on the site either.

What "Full Package" does the FAQ refer to?
[Windows Mobile Themes] jclsm:
It would be great to have alarme/apointments notifications icon on NOW page. Perhaps replace Favorits icon by alarme/notification icon. In this release it's impossible to dismiss a notification alarm within the Now page ;)

And GREAT, GREAT job. :)

Mikubest van you say me which line must i delete in basic layout qa_layout.dat maybe in Kalendar.xml to don't have the calendar on the professional screen ?

And an other thing, do you think you could take Off the line which are between the programs in the folder and in settings ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] -Vulture-:
Hi MikiBest,

ive been playing around with mobile shell and your skins the last days. Because of the unflexibility of Mobile Shell we cant use our own calendars, call logs, sms chat programs cause the buttons on the now screen directly link to the windows mobile programs.

But maybe, with your help, we could find a way to compensate this odd behaviour. Do you think it would be possible to add another line of program icons on the today screen, below the standard ones for mail, sms and calls? Something like the icons on the programs launcher tab above the big icons.

So if theres a new call, sms or whatever we could start our favorite programs right away from the now screen with the buttons we have set there. I think theres enough space above and below the clock to move everything a bit upwards to get the room we would need for those new icons. Your favorites menu on the now screen is a nice idea, but its one click more to do to start my favorite app for sms, phonebook and so on...so thats why im suggesting this.

So what dou you (all) think?

Thanks for the update Mike... this fixed the SPB Phone Suite icon for me, and I love the new little lights that tell me what's on.

One problem, though, is the Wireless Manager that opens from the Carrier/Operator button at the top. I get the full list (BT on, BT off, WIFI on, WIFI off, Phone On, Phone Off), but no matter what I select, the phone vibrates a quick burst but nothing happens. I can select the Bluetooth Off, but it doesn't turn it off.

I am using an HTC Touch...

Thanks!

[Windows Mobile Themes] oalex:
Hi.

Thanks again for the fast update, I don't know if its a bug or if its intentional, but the new feature "connections status" is only available under today and programs view/tab. In calendar/weather and pic-contact tab its not there. Also this applies to the ability to click on the top to get to your wireless management page.

I know some ppl asked for the calender to be removed from the front page "now". How ever I am sure other like I need it, its the one page i look at all the time to know whats up, i need my appointments there. Could you make it optional, so the ppl that dont like it can hide it and the ppl that need it wont.

Actually even my appointments are gone from the now screen (only seen in the calendar skin). I thought that was an option for one to select in the SPB Shell menu, professional or classic look.

For the mean time i have to go back to 1.4.1 cause for me the appointments on the now screen is more important than a connection status. In my opinion the "now" screen is supposed to be a summary of important things, for any professional user, the appointments is one of those.

P.S: also staring at the empty space between the time and the icons below (almost 3cm empty) is a waist.

BTW in the screen shot you added for the new version 1.5. You have your appointments listed for the day??? Mine are all missing.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] scorpion66:
MikBest - latest upgrade is worrying me as you are removing the calendar page and I am sure most people want this page. Gota agree with Oalex's comments. :eek:

All releases prior had it and i think its a change too far - v1.41 is almost perfect for me, all it needed was a few tweeks as follows:-

1. Make the new fav/my menu icon match to the others (as in v1.5)

2. Option for 12 contacts on a single page - any more seems to slow down speed and are to small to see

3. Fix the phone menu issue that stops the phone getting a signal

Greaballs first Diamond version was great but then the second version started to muck about with the lower butons and removed weather and now you seem to be going in the same direction.

For me your program is the best thing to happen for mobile shell but little things can make it unusable for some people so please bring back the calendar in v1.6 and maybe look at the contacts page.:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] cbolumar:
Calendar in 1.5

I installed 1.5 (deleting 1.4.1) and i can see my calendar in now page. The only problem at the moment is the new spb phone suite icons because the profile is only in white and :

You can't see it using luna skins.

In the last spb phone suite you have some marks to know you are using automatic profile and if you change the icon by another smaller the automatic mark remains in the old position outside the screen.
[Windows Mobile Themes] can3gxw:
I also have to agree with Scorpion... please bring back the calendar items on the NOW page... the blank spot actually brings up the calendar if you select it, so it looks like it's working but with no picture or data displayed in the box.

spb phone suite profile icons

hello

nice work on this new way for fast theme changes

i am attaching a SMALL version of the colored spb phone suite profile icons

this is not my work, i found it long time ago from the PS theme maker (sorry dont recall the author name for proper credit) and i was using it with greatbal themes

it works here good because its colored similar to the original icons but small so it shows on all backgrounds well

I also would like to report that the appointmants are not showing on home main screen (but i am OK with that as i use the calender page anyways).

lastly i have a request: is it possible to have an option to choose witch TAB (bottom bar) icons with different backgrounds?

have a good day
[Windows Mobile Themes] -Vulture-:
My thoughts to the new version:

1. Im repeating the others: the calendar on the now screen is definately missing

2. Your new status icons work like a charm. But they are a little bit mispositioned. The ones on the now screen should be about 5 pixels more on the left to match the position on the launcher screen.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ahmedfikry:
another idea:

why dont you add the status (wifi/phone/BT) icon on top of all screen ...now its just in now & launcher screens only
[Windows Mobile Themes] ahmedfikry:
couple of scripts (original) & (my theme)

Hello

in order for the following to work, unzip my attached file...place the included 2 files in the "scripts" folder inside "SpbMobileShellSkins" folder

-------------------

i noticed that going back to spb original theme script had a little bug

it copied all needed files but it would not restart spb shell...needed a soft reset

so i fixed the script file....now it will restart by it self like with other skin switching

i also added a vibration notification when chosen like the other and a confirmation message at the end "original skin restored"

------------------

I also had a theme that i been working on fo r a while with a lot of modifications

so in order not to loose my modified theme ....i wrote a new script & called it "my theme"

here are the steps needed to keep you modified theme & fast switch in & out of it:

inside the "SpbMobileShellSkins" folder ...create a new folder and call it "my theme" (note: has to be exactly like that lower case & space in between)

then go to your \program files\ spb mobile shell folder....copy all the qa_ & ql_ files from there to the "my theme" folder that you just created in the previous step

after playing with the skins available ...if you want to go back to your saved theme...go to "my theme" script & click it

it will vibrate, restore it, then give you a confirmation message "your theme restored"

---------------------------------------

Adjusted iPhone bakground & bottom bar icons

hello again

go to spb tools -->spb skins---> choose "Kyro iphone"

i choose simple layout with glass clocks, iphone icons, multicolor status icons, and blackstorm weather to be like the attached picture

to get the small spb phone suite icons...use the file i attached few posts up to replace the one in your \program files\spb phone suite ... then soft reset

finally go to settings, system, screen...and check enable clear type
