Nice theme - what is it? Is it a proper theme or a collection of individual hacks?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] amuneer:
I like this. But do you need to let VITO SMS-CHAT running in the background for this new sms popup to be displayed? Is there a way to make this the default Windows Mobile SMS App?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] barryfell:
The threaded sms reader that comes with PocketCM Contact is the best looking that i've seen (once you install the Dark Diamond II - 0.3 skin). And it's free!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Showtime7:
I use this app, and you don't need to open it for the notification to come up. Just install it and turn off your normal SMS alerts, and it's your default. It's a really, really great program for threaded SMS. It even lets you export all chats into a word file. I just wish they'd come up with some better skins.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pandemoniumone:
Thanks! The TF3D theme is from Lagunadub which is a proper theme. The task bar and bottom bar are Wisbar Advance 3 and I'm using a compilation of a couple different skinners work for that look. I can't take credit for any of it other than customizing it to my likings. :cool:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pandemoniumone:
Agreed. What I originally started looking for was a program that had a nicer notification than that of the stock windows notification. I really liked how Vito SMS Chat looked and I've been very happy with it!

now aint this sad, i'd use vito smschat for all features NOW except well.. the threaded sms :P

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] glife8:
That's Great!!thanks for your share,I am searching this app. for a long time.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] UdoS:
Yes indeed! Absolute great apps - IPC Calculator and Dialer!

But one question to the cab in the first post. I get no difference to the first version - it always looks as you see below - the left one. Also very fine - but the other one (right picture) is still better. So please, what is to do?

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

Ok - now I see, that I jumped into a blackstone thread with 480 x 800.:rolleyes:

But anyway the look of the keys is better and the 1-2-3 at the bottom is what I am used to. So it would be great to get this too.

But thanks again so far for the apps at all!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] starstreak:
By any chance does anybody know how to get rid of the IPC_Calculator? It replaced my original calc. I installed a new calculator and like it, but the original ipc is still there. and the version I got doesn't work in landscape. How do I get the original calc back?

NEW VERSION 2 AVAILABLE:

View attachment 148563

FINAL VERSION AVAILABLE:[you will have to download Version 2 and then replace the vp_bkg_now.dat file with the one from V3 for it to work]:

View attachment 149416

Please note these themes are tested working with SPB mobile shell 2.1.4.

Installation Instructions are included in the ZIP

To do:

- Port to work with Panel version [coming soon] - Unfortunately I will not be doing this as I do not have to time to test/port to the panel version, if anyone with the skills to do it would like to port it you are more than welcome to, however please do mention the original creator as well, as a lot of hard work has gone into these themes :)

Please note: there is a qa_layout.zip file attached aswell, this file is a mod to remove the 12 pinned items in the menu screen [up the top], and to remove the grid lines aswell. Please make a backup of your original qa_layout.dat file before placing the new one.

- INSTALLATION:

1. download qa_layout.zip and rename it to qa_layout.dat

2. you simply have to copy the file and paste it into your device's program files > spb mobile shell folder

3. Do a soft reset.

Actual screenshots of V3 running on the XPERIA can be found on page 4, thanks to LFCFredda

What is it?
[XPERIA X1 General] mobilemodman:
hmm that's kinda strange how its showing up on your X1, what version of SPB are you running?, this is made to work on version 2.1.4 [spb mobile shell]
[XPERIA X1 General] Karlson2k:

The version published isn't for SPb panel! Did you try it with panel or with standalone app?

It's looks like you theme applied to SPb MobSh Panel.
[XPERIA X1 General] mobilemodman:
Yes, please read the first post. This version is NOT for spb panel, it is for Spb Mobile shell version 2.1.4.

I will be releasing the panel version tonight as I am at work now

the theme looks awesome! Can't wait 'til it works with the panel!

Saw that it was done, however, it doesn't work. The only thing that happens is that the background is black, icons are the same but the small shortcuts at the bottom are gone... Any clue to why?
[XPERIA X1 General] sshick:
I can send you the entire folder from the panel
[XPERIA X1 General] QuadWord:
mobilemodman:

i was wondering about the statement to make a "quick" port to the panel version.

you cannot port this theme by just moving the bitmaps around. the x1 uses only 3 tabs. at least you have to modify/change the images for the bottom buttons (and side buttons in landscape mode) and therefore you have to change more than 1 or 2 xmls for the new button sizes. also: if the original background is in color you have to remove the "simple.background" class and replace it with the "gradient"-class including the seperator (which is normally not used in the panel version) in most of the layout xmls.

my guess is: this will take longer :-) ... especially if you depend on others to test it in the panel version.

dont get me wrong ... i really would like to see a port of this theme ... but at the moment it looks to me like you want to do this "the easy way" and this is only possible if you can test your changes by yourself.

can anyone post an original screenshot how it is supposed to look ?

have fun,

quadword
[XPERIA X1 General] n4v1n:
panel version not working for me, none of the icons on the tabs show, nor do the icons from shortcuts. the only thing working is the black background.
[XPERIA X1 General] mobilemodman:
@ sshick - are you sure you installed the panel version [the second zip file in my first post], because those icons in your screenshot aren't in the panel version :S. try re-installing spb mobile shell on your X1 because it seems you still have the previous theme that you tried to install

@ Quadword - yes thanks for the tip, I know the panel version has a copmletely different layout, I had changed the layout to match with the layout from the original panel version, however it seems like there are a few problems:

1) I dont think the panel version can handle colour images as the background/wallpaper, which is why the background is black, I didnt know I had to edit the xml, but thanks for the tip will do that and see

2) there is some problem with the icons at the moment, I will look into this tomorrow

3) I am busy today, but would get to work 2mrw morning and try to fix the panel version issue

@ everyone - thanks for helping out with testing, I decided it would be easier if i tested it myself so I'm going to install the panel version of SPB on my fone and test it out tomorrow. Also my new Theme is almost ready, but that is for 2.1.4 Spb mobile shell version. I will look into porting that aswell

Quadword - what folder/ .dat file would i find the xml that needs editing for the background to accept colour?
[XPERIA X1 General] QuadWord:
i did already modify the xmls to accept color backgrounds like the original version. maybe you can use my templates for your modifications:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=468547

- QuadWord
[XPERIA X1 General] mobilemodman:
Thanks QuadWord, that would be a great help. I will try that out tonight and see if I can get that panel version up and running. BTW do you know how to change the xml's so that the Tab buttons are in colour aswell??
[XPERIA X1 General] QuadWord:
i am not sure if i understand your question correctly ... because all the buttons use color bitmaps by default (as you can see by looking at the original theme).

the 3 buttons on the bottom to switch your screen are called "tab buttons".

the softkeys (contact & rescent) are WM6.1 and not included in the Spb-Panel.

- quadword
[XPERIA X1 General] maedox:
Looks great in non-panel version. :)

One thing though; The background doesn't stretch to fit the screen. Is that fixable, or a "bug" in MS? I tried resizing the images but ended up with no background at all. :P I didn't read much on Spb MS skinning and didn't really try very hard, so I guess I've got myself to blame.
[XPERIA X1 General] mobilemodman:
@ maedox -It's not a bug, just that most WM phones come with a screen resolution of that size, which is why SPB was made in that way to fit the screen size of those phones, however the X1 has a much larger (longer height wise) resolution, which is why the background ends up being half way across the screen :S. I noticed if you set the calender to show one week it makes it look ok because the calendar fits right in that black space. But unfortunately [through hours of testing] i realized that changing the resolution ends up with a black screen.

@ Quadword - sorry but i thought that the tabs were in black and white aswell, ignore that question :-p - [ BTW i pm'ed you, might need some help :) ]
[XPERIA X1 General] QuadWord:
if you resize the bitmaps make sure you save them as BMP in R5 G6 B5 format. (i.e. if you save a BMP in photoshop, a "BMP option window" appears -press the "advanced" button and choose this format).

- QuadWord
[XPERIA X1 General] mobilemodman:
Btw guys there is some problem with the landscape mode, as it is not accepting the landscape backgrounds and is using the usual portrait mode backgrounds instead. I'm not too sure how to fix this issue, would be great if someone could shed some light on how to go about it.

And sorry I could not port the theme's to the panel version, firstly because I am too busy with things at home at the moment, and secondly 2.1.4 is a much better version of spb anyway.

Kind regards - Mobilemodman

Hey all.

For a while now I've been tinkering around with icons and wallpapers and stuff for Android and the G1/Dream, but I've never put it all together to make a theme of my own.. so I thought I'd change that. I'm calling this theme MonoChrome 1.0, and it is currently ADP1 and RC30 compatible.

Have an ADP1 or RC30 and wanna try the theme out? You'll find the download links and instructions near the bottom of this post.

** UPDATE 01/19/2009: All the default system icons added, wallpaper/dock tweaked, changed a few transparency settings. New screenshots below. **

More screenshots (can't attach more than four images per post):

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k315/southpawlol/gold/1232403678451.png

Thoughts, ideas, dirty offers..? Let me have it.

Oh, and credits goes out to brandenk and his Kspec theme from which I borrowed parts of the theme.

********************************

Current version: 1.02

********************************

Wanna try it out? Download links:

ADP1: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ICV03T5U

RC30: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=H7JGM4T1 **Tested and confirmed working**

1) Make sure you have JFv1.31 installed on your ADP1 or rooted RC30 G1 before you try to install this theme.

2) Download file from one of the above links.

3) Rename file to update.zip

4) Transfer file to the root catalog of your SD card.

5) Disconnect ExtUSB cable and shut phone down.

6) Press Home + Power to start the phone up in Recovery Mode/JFv1.31.

7) Once booted into JFv1.31 press Alt + S to install.

8) When install is complete press Home + Back to reboot.

9) Cross your fingers and wait. If all goes well Android ought to be up and running my theme within a minute.

This theme has been tested on two ADP1 phones without any issues, but I am NOT to be held responsible if your phone for some reason gets bricked in the process. Install at your own peril.

Looks great I think. But on the second picture the "dock" looks a little to white to me.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] mannyb:
The Market icon, you mean? Yeah, I agree, the droid needs to be a few shades darker. I'll fix that later on tonight, or tomorrow.

Oh and thanks for the input, it's very valuable because you tend to stare yourself blind on your own theme.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] broopa:
No the market icon looks alright. I was talking about that white shade behind the icons at the bottom of the screen. I think it is a little to white. It looks perfect in the top picture but for some reason in the bottom it looks to white. I am not sure why since it is the same picture. You might not need to do anything to it. It just pulls my eyes off the icons into the negative space of the background.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] mannyb:
Ah, now I get it. I could try to make the "dock" slightly darker. I'll try that, it's like a two minute job, tops.

**edit**

How does this look? I decreased the luminance and added a bit more texture instead.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] maxdamage2122:
the darker "dock" looks a lot better imo. btw great looking theme. i was never too fond of all the other themes so this might be my first theme i install. also, not sure if you would be willing to or if anyone else agrees, since the theme is dark i think colored icons with the same black background you have now would look awesome.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] mannyb:
The darker dock does look better, I'll stick with that one. As for your icon request, I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Can you elaborate a bit?
