i have the same problem and tried everything but .... please help!!!!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] syrguy1969:
I couldn't get it either, but MikiBest used the app posted in the first quote, and my images work in a theme now, I would try out that app and see if it helps you guys as well!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] black187:
I'm using omnia

Hmm, I seem to have problem with SPB shell app. I try to open /programs/SPB menu, but it doesn't open, I don't know if this is the reason for my below problems.

I installed the themes correctly it just does not show.

So to get this straight, in the Settings/Today/Items everything I must check is SPBWatcher? What about in Settings/Today/Themes - do I leave everything alone?

If I enable in /Settings/Today/Item just the Spb Mobile Shell, I only get a couple of small icons on today screen, the rest is empty.

What am I doing wrong?

edit: when i uninstall themes, the spb menu starts working again. so there must be something with instalation of the themed.
[Windows Mobile Themes] justintime:
Is there a way to substitute the classic digital clock of SpbMobileShell with the black diamond clock, without installing the extra skins option menu but only overwriting .dat files?

SpbMobileShell2.1.2-SQ320-Skins_Release3.1.1 is not compliant with my Treo Pro and if I come back to origin, I have to backup and restore my SpbMobileShell folder, because the

specified restore procedure doesn't work well, leaving old icons and settings.

Thank you very much
[Windows Mobile Themes] MikiBest:
Yes.... you can choose only from 5 languages ENG, FRA, ITA , GER, SPA. Please post your SpbMobileShell.txt in dutch language (you can find it into the \Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell folder), i can add it as new language. If you have also the qa_weatherdescription.dat file in your language post it too.

MikiBest,

How do you add programs to the favourites icon?

Any chance of an icon to lock the phone on the Now page?

Hi MikiBest

Why didn't health icon appear on my screen?
[Windows Mobile Themes] 1999TL:
OH wow. This is great. What a wonderful job. So many options. Sigh, more messing with my phone. I'm starting to be known as the guy always on his phone.
[Windows Mobile Themes] eknutson:
@zhihwa

Same setup here, and it works just fine... did you run the script after copying over the files, as per the instructions?

"Extract the .zip file into the device memory where you have installed the previous release 1.2 (for example "\My Storage"), overwriting existing files.

Execute the script named "Install_*QVGA.mscr" using "File Explorer" from folder ..\SpbMobileShellSkins\Scripts."​
[Windows Mobile Themes] ☆ Ricky ☆:
Hi !

I would like to download these skins but don't know what's the difference between :

Release 1.4 WQVGA (240x400-Omnia) version

Release 1.4 QVGA (240x320) version

I have bought my SGH-i900 in France (SFR pack), it's a 16 GB branded version...

Thanks !
[Windows Mobile Themes] Madremiha:
I have adapted the Omnia theme by Greatbal with original background or Dark Background by Phonatic (i like this one)

Not great work from myself just adapt the script

Adding programs to favourites icon:go to customize menu in SPB mobile Shell navigate to My menu and add (menu, link or file) which than appears in favourite icon folder.

Thanks MikiBest great work!!

I have problems with the BT / WiFi / Phone switches (tipping on the Operator name) which dont work on my phone. Nothing is switched ON or OFF when switch is pressed!
[Windows Mobile Themes] 1999TL:
That helped me as well.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ☆ Ricky ☆:
After the installation of a skin i have :

Layout :

Simple

Double Clock

2Clocks, MRU & 3Contacts x 9

2Clocks, MRU & 3Contacts x 16

Can anyone explain me these options please ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] ☆ Ricky ☆:
Is it possible to change these settings after the installation ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] 1999TL:
Yes, you can choose whatever, and change it all later. IT's beautiful.
[Windows Mobile Themes] rickytr23:

Guys which files work on the HD?
[Windows Mobile Themes] syrguy1969:
I finally got a chance to look at this app last night, and it is a little rich for my blood. Is there an app that will do the correct conversion that is free (or at least pretty cheap)?

I have PhotoShop (an older version, my Uncle gave it to me as a gift about 5 years ago), but I can't get the images to work no matter how I save them, so maybe there is a trick, or setting I am missing????

Not that I don't really appreciate MikiBest doing those two for me, but I want to do more for future changes!!

Here is my current look now, thanks to MikiBest:

(I still can't get rid of that navigation icon from my Home screen!!!)
[Windows Mobile Themes] drowe:
I had the same kind of issue and found that you have to have the SPB Custom Menu set up in the exact order as found on Mikibest's FAQ page:

0 [x] Organizer

1 [x] Internet

2 [x] Multimedia

3 [x] Tools

4 [x] Programs

5 Settings

6 [x] Messages

7 [x] Games

8 [x] Navigation

9 [x] -must be empty- (Wireless Manager)

10 [x] My Menu

I tried changing the order and got a result similar to yours. Worth a shot anyway!
[Windows Mobile Themes] syrguy1969:
The only difference between yours and mine was that I had 'Running Apps' checked. I unchecked it, and I lose the Navigation icon on the Home page, but I also lose the task manager aspect of the Home screen. I liked that one, hopefully I can find a mid-point!!! Thanks for the info, I'll have to think about the 'lesser of evils' to me!!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] drowe:
As I remember, that was what caused mine to be funky, I'd added a "top level" menu....

I also got looking at gimp (www.gimp.org/windows) and it will save as 16 bit bmp (2 versions) and might work. I'll try it later, but you might want to look at that.
[Windows Mobile Themes] drowe:
I've got Spb Task Manager assigned to a long press on my camera button on my Vogue. Works better for me to have it as a hard button. I've also got it on my "My Menu" that I can get from the last icon on the home screen. Two taps that way, but not too bad.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dizzydarryn:
hi guys, i have just downloaded the new background app which is awesome. EXCEPT that i cant get it to work. I currently use GIMP which allows you to save in 16bit format. I have an omnia so i use 240x400. no matter what i do, i still get told that it is the wrong image file. Please can someone help. What i have noticed so far is that when i run the app, and select a file. the file of my choice is xxx.BMP, as opposed to xxx.bmp (the xxx.bmp is when i use one of the original sparator2 files from the qp_bkg_now.dat file)
[Windows Mobile Themes] officer629:
Missing Icon?

There's an icon missing right after call history. Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dizzydarryn:
more investigation as to why the files wont work with the background generator. I have just downloaded a trial version of image convertor. Image convertor convers with a bit depth of 32. An image that i have saved in GIMP saves at 24 bit depth. (i found this when i right clicked on properties) Those are the only differences i have found.

In both examples i have used 240x400, 16 bit R5.... In addition, when i double click on the file saved through gimp, i dont get a preview, however, with the file converted, i do get a preview. Does this have something to do with the bit depth?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dizzydarryn:
Yeah i see that. On one of my old themes, it was volume. On the one i am using now, it takes you to an "items" menu.

Is there a way to control what this 4th icon is? I would like to customize it
[Windows Mobile Themes] syrguy1969:
I have used GIMP in the past, I'll look into it...thanks!!

Sounds like an option!! Thanks!!!

Same wxact problem I have been having, The app the author suggests is a bit pricey, but the only one I have heard anyone mention success with!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dizzydarryn:
I have corrected my other post. Imageconverter saves with a bit depth of 32, whilst gimp saves with a bit depth of 24.

I dont understand what this means as it appears unrelated to whther you save the file in 8,16 or24,32 bit (i do know we must save at 16 bit though).

Anyone know if you can change this BIT DEPTH in GIMP???
[Windows Mobile Themes] DJRedLine:
In GIMP, when you go to save as it provided you with an advanced functions setting. In here is where you can chage to 16bit.

I have only managed to get a handfull of images to work, and i know i am following the same steps each time. Some work and some don't ????

When i view the properties of some of the images it states 'previous colour' 16bit 'current colour' 24bit ?? even though i saved it as 16bit
[Windows Mobile Themes] syrguy1969:
I'm glad it isn't just me!! I have looked into GIMP and the new GIMPShop and I can't find the advanced setting to change the bit depth, but so far no image I have saved with any of my apps (GIMP, GIMPShop, Paint.net + PhotoShop) have worked!!

SPB Weather won't update anymore

I've searched this thread to no avail; does anyone else have this problem? In late December, my SPB Weather stopped updating. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling SPB Weather, changing weather sources, adding cities, adding weather templates, all with no results. Anyone have any ideas?:confused::confused::confused:

Never mind. For some reason, it would not update anymore via Active Sync; I had to close Active Sync, open PIE, then update. And that worked. Now to figure out the Active Sync thing; I haven't changed any settings...
[Windows Mobile Themes] MikiBest:
The correct format is BMP 16 bit 5:6:5

5 bits Red

6 bits Green

5 bits Blue

Use Image Converter Plus without problems

Paint save only as 24 bit 8:8:8 or 8 bit grayscale
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dizzydarryn:
Image converter is very expensive for me. What i still dont understand is that GIMP saves as 16 bit 5:6:5 as well. but it doesnt work. The bit depth is 24 bit.

Image converter saves at 16 bit 5:6:5 but at 32 bit depth and this works!

I dont understand why?
[Windows Mobile Themes] justintime:
Can anyone answer to solve this question, please?

Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Themes] syrguy1969:
Got it!!!!!

I can now convert the files correctly!!!! Woooooooo

Here is one of about 8 wallpaper sets I saved last night. (the theme isn't complete, I just posted this to show I can do it!!! :D

[Windows Mobile Themes] Omnia Holland:
Just this morning tried to install Release 3.1.1 WQVGA (240x400-Omnia) version. Managed to put everything on the micro sd card. Even managed to get to the point when asked for the language preferred. It looked like everything was installing. I pushed the soft reset button just beside to the on/off button. Nothing seems to have happened. I don't see any new skins :( What have I forgotten to do or what did I do wrong. Please help!

comm links not working correctly?

Went through this Q&A and added 26 by copying 25. They both say external gps under the TEXT entry. The window still pops up ok and now when I touch one of the menu entries it just brings up my comm manager. Isnt this supposed to just turn bluetooth on/off wifi on/off or phone on/off without the comm manager?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Loc2262:
Greetings to all!

First of all, congrats and thanks for this great theme pack!

I found a little problem concerning the Wifi commands on my HP iPAQ 214. My device has a blue led to indicate if Bluetooth and/or WLAN is active. When calling any toggle command from the skin's Wifi menu, the blue led quickly turns on and then turns (and stays) off, no matter what command I sent or what its outcome was.

It appears that the MortScript "Vibrate" command, which is used in the scripts, causes the blue led to turn off. My PDA does not have a vibration function (it's a pure PDA), but still the blue led reacts in that way to that command.

Just to let you know... for another improvement for this already great achievement! :) For a quick fix I'll now simply remove the Vibrate commands from my Wifi scripts.

and has no one found a way to remap the calendar, email, text message, and missed call notification icons on the now screen?!! I've looked ALL over the web to no avail. For example, I used 3rd party apps for these, and what would be perfect is:

Tap: - Action:

calendar / icon - ThumbCal

email*

messaging - SMS Chat

call notification - iContact BE

*haven't found a third party for this yet

Edit/remove tabs !

Hello !!

Does anyone know how to remove SPB Mobile Shell calendar tab and apply analog clock only.

I would like this two solutions:

1.

Analog clock only on "now screen" + "calendar tab" ?

or

2.

Remove the "calendar tab" (?) and set single clock with calendar (I know that: Tools --> SPB Skins 3.1 --> Here) ?

--> Is it posibble to set single analog clock with calendar (That is not posibble: Tools --> SPB Skins 3.1 --> Here) ?

Generaly, where are the settings for editing SPB Mobile Shell tabs in the registry.

;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] septlc:
open spb options and set analog instead of digital clock :)

really easy, check my last video regarding customized backgrounds.

Do not go inside the SPB themes shortcuts, but in the original program's settings.

http://www.onlline.org/omnia/ => Omnia FAQ => New Backgrounds

or go directly on the utube page of septlc user..

should be something like www.youtube.com/septlc
[Windows Mobile Themes] Beky.yB*:
Hey !

Are you thinking on this skins: http://www.imarche.net/omnia/index.php

[ If you didn't use this skins, you can't answer to my question ! ;)]

But, if you are, as far as I know, there is only this options available:

Tools --> SPB Skins 3.1 --> Extra Options --> Here you can customize a layout, and it asks you:

Layout - Now Screen:

Single Clock

Single Clock-NoCalendar

Double Clock

Double Clock-NoCalendar

Double Clock + Big Analog

1.

If i choose single clock, that is only digital clock + calendar on now screen --> How can I change this to analog clock + calendar . . .

In that case, I don't want a calendar tab, 'cause I got a calendar on my now screen.

------

2.

My second solutions would be:

That I have a big analog clock on my now screen, and a calendar tab . . .

[ First option would be better if someone knows a solution ;) ]
[Windows Mobile Themes] septlc:
check the video http://www.onlline.org/omnia/main.php#faq15 and pay attention to this :

- on extra settings you select one page clock (which includes calendar)

Tools --> SPB Skins 3.1 --> Extra Options --> Here you can customize SELECT => Single CLOCK..

spb original settings are influencing also the Micky's skins. from www.imarche.net.

try it yourself..
[Windows Mobile Themes] Beky.yB*:
Thanks man, now I get it !!!

1. Settings --> SPB Mobile Shell --> Now screen --> Layout: Classic + Configure --> Set clock to analog here !!!

2. Tools --> SPB Skins 3.1 --> Extra Options --> Choose now screen layout: Single clock, and after that choose a theme for analog clock !!!

--> Now, only if I could remove this (for me unnecessary) calendar tab !!!

---

I'm wondering this, too . . .

Solution 2:

How to set BIG analog clock or BIG digital clock on the now screen (without calendar) and leave calendar tab as it is !!!

SOLUTION TO REMAP SMS AND CALLLOG-BUTTON TO USER DEFINED PROGRAMS​

SMS-Button:

Open your favorite registry editor and go to "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\RAI\:MSINBOX" and change the value "1" from "tmail.exe" to the path of the program you wanna launch. And do not forget to set the " " ! For example:

"My Storage\Program Files\VITO\SMS-Chat\SMSChat.exe"

Save and your done, the SMS button on the main screen of spb mobile shell should now launch VITO SMS Chat.

CallLog-Button:

Go to your windows folder on your phone and copy the file CallLog.exe to another directory, just for backup purpose. Open the attached file CallLog.run with any texteditor you have. Change the path inside to the program you wanna open with the CallLog button. No " " this time. Save and copy it with the also attached file CallLog.exe to your windows folder on your phone. Overwrite the existing CallLog.exe, ignore the warnings. Should work now. If not, try a soft reset.

No Solution for calendar yet and i dont use the mail button :D.

Tested on Samsung Omnia with german WM 6.1.

Im not the author of the CallLog.exe. Its based on the run.exe from us1111 from Modaco, full credits to him!
[Windows Mobile Themes] j006:
First of all, thank you so much for your response. Much appreciated. I tried the above reg change, and indeed it did work for the button to the messaging inbox shortcut from the programs screen, however it did not change the text message target on the NOW screen, which is what I'm attempting to fix. I haven't tried remapping the call log button just yet, but will report back with results. Once again, thanks for the response though!

Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Themes] -Vulture-:
Hm ok...i have to admit that im using mikibests skins and the sms button on the now screen ist working here as it should. Havent tried the original skin yet.

When you press the sms button on your now screen, what do you see next? The list of messages on your phone or a new sms, ready to be written?

Phil

EDIT: Just tested with the original skin, works fine here too. The small envelope with the cell phone opens SMS Chat from VITO. Call Log also works.
[Windows Mobile Themes] syrguy1969:
I tried your tweak with PocketCM on my Omnia, and I got the text button to opem PocketCM once after doing the tweak, but after that it only opens the stock texting. Can you post a screen shot of the settings maybe? Possibly I'm missing something!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] -Vulture-:
Of course, here they are. Of course i cant test it with every program...did you soft reset? After that the same behaviour?
[Windows Mobile Themes] syrguy1969:
I appreciate it!! I have been playing around more and found after I do a reset, it will open PocketCM from the text icon again, but not after that!

As long as were talking reg settings and such...in getting my icons to show correctly, I lost functionability in the task manager ison (last in line to the right from the text icon were working with). In the registry is has 'taskmgr.exe' as the app. Do you have any idea where that is, or how I could have lost it's functionability?

Thanks again!!!
