Star Trek and U2 custom backgrounds

To whom much is given, much is required. I wanted to learn this background changing process in photoshop so that I could give back to this community that has given me SOOOO much.

So, here's my start. I am attaching all custom qp_bkg_now.dat files in a zip. See thumbnails for details. Each dat is in its own little folder with the jpeg preview and the changed wallpaper.bmp. If you like Star Trek or U2, I hope you enjoy this.

download the zip from HERE.

( Default [Skin] Titanium - Mobile Shell 3.0.1 - VGA, QVGA, WQVGA [5/17/09]

Please do not post this theme anywhere else... a link to this page will do just fine!

Now for VGA, QVGA (Thanks keithdupont!), and WQVGA (Thanks johoe!) devices!

Will probably override your custom widgets!

Works on Mobile Shell 3.0 beta 3, not tested with other versions....

* Included a cab file for easy install

* Theme files and reg file also available to download

* Portrait only at the moment

xda is not taking the upload..so for VGA...

GET IT HERE!

And for QVGA....

SEE THIS POST!

And for WQVGA...

SEE THIS POST! )

could you give the wallpaperfile out on its own, that would be awsom.;)

Hi mtstmp...Thanks for the files... But, when i copy your included va_misc_now.dat file to my SPB dir, the button remains "F.Book" instead of "Today" :( I tried opening the .dat file to look for the button, but i can't see it in there. When i search my mible shell dir, i noticed also a file called va_misc_today.dat ....could that have anything to do with it?

I installed Keiths semi-transparent button bar some days ago, maybe that has also something to do with it?

And when i tap the button, it still goes to "Home2", even though i've applied the reg-keys.

And speaking of reg keys; do you know where to find the exact path for opening the Todayscreen (by means of Spb "Show Today")? I can't find it in the Mobile Shell folder or the Programs folder...

Can you please help? :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] gizbug:
Bump. any update on this?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtstmp:
got it here
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtstmp:
hmm, i changed the icon, I just downloaded it and checked it. It's in the file called Menu_BblIcons_m.bmp, inside va_misc_now.dat. make sure you also applied the modifications to the lockscreen.xml, and copied over the shortcut.xml into your layouts.dat. The reg key for the today link is inside menu-root-tools-showtoday. keep us posted
[Windows Mobile Themes] mtstmp:
probably wont be goin to do it. it just sucks up too much time. :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] Moaske:
one problem solved, one to go

The graphic has been solved.... Apparantly the reboot didn't quite work out or the file didn't get overwritten properly. But the button is there after the second attempt...

The layouts.dat file you included in the post with the button, doesn't that already contain the modded lockscreen.xml and the shortcut.xml ?? In that case there's only the reg-edit left... Or do i still have to edit these .xml's as well?

I've been looking in that reg-folder... Do i just copy over all its content to the shortcut folder, or does anything have to be added/modified? And how about the content of the shortcuts folder? What's there that can stay, and what has to be changed?

Thanks for the help!

[Windows Mobile Themes] anthnhlt:
How would I create Wallpaper for VGA? I change the extension of vp_bkg_now.dat to .zip. Then I replaced the Wallpaper.bmp file with my desired background. Zip it back up, change extension to .dat and replace the file on the device. After I rebooted all I got was a black screen with a couple o menu items. What am I doing wrong?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Moaske:
Have you re-encrypted with the password when you put the wallpaper back into the vp_bkg_now.dat?
[Windows Mobile Themes] anthnhlt:
Yes. I encrypted it with the same password. But I only get a black screen. Was I suppose to do something with the mask (Wallpaper_m.bmp)? First of all is wallpaper.bmp the correct file to be replacing, I only assume it was because of the size.
[Windows Mobile Themes] gkleding:
Try This

Heres what I did to get it to work.

1. Open winrar

2. Go to "file" and open vp_bkg_now.dat

3. Scroll to wallpaper.bmp, delete it, keep winrar open

4. Open windows file explorer and find your wallpaper you want to use.,

select, and File/Copy

5. Go back to your winrar you already have opened that you deleted the file from, select file/Paste files from clipboard.

6. Archive and paremeters box pops up, select the Advanced tab and click on

Set Passwords

7. Enter the infamous secret password "0bfm18zq" and close out

This works for me everytime. Screenshot is on iPAQ 210 VGA

By opening it through winrar there is no need for additional unzip and rezip step, (since that is what winrar is for) makes it pretty easy.
[Windows Mobile Themes] anthnhlt:
Works like a charm. Thanks alot!

The background has changed, but when I scroll it turns black. Do you have this problem? What size are you saving the bmp file as? and 24bit or 32bit?
[Windows Mobile Themes] gkleding:
I save bitmap images as 16bit. I have been using Adobe CS4 and Image Converter Plus. I will probably stick with Image Converter Plus since Adobe doesnt work with Changeskin. I have no ideal why, and I will spare everyone "the village idiots theory" (me being the village idiot!).

Anyway, try the 16bit 5:6:5 Hi RGB

[Windows Mobile Themes] anthnhlt:
I have CS4 as well and that worked. 16bit 5:6:5. thanks a million!

Hi

I am new here. I downloaded your file(post# 331 by johoe) but all i got is a zip file with 3 folder... no installer cab. Did I miss something. Please tell me how to install this theme. It looks awsome. BTW, I am using Samsung Omnia i900 with stock rom. Thanks in advance. :)

[Windows Mobile Themes] Moaske:
Did you even bother to read any of the posts in this thread...?

It's all here how it works you know... :)

Yeah i know; that means you would have to read some more...

Your kind of reactions are not very constructive, and usually don't get you very far in these forums... We're not gonna take you by the hand while you sit back... Make an effort dude :cool:
[Windows Mobile Themes] acidbath5546:
LOL

Why does everyone want an easy cab for everything?

Why do people post before they actually do 10 minutes of research?

Isn't part of the fun of Hack and Dev, the search and the gratification of that last soft reset that you do, and then your perfect custom phone with everything u want popping up....I love that....

We do appreciate all you hard work ....Moaske....MTSTMP...KeithDupont......and all :)

Keep it up and ignore the ignorant ones....
[Windows Mobile Themes] Moaske:
Still working on that button...

I hope mtstmp is still watching this thread, cause i got a question (or anoyone for that matter!):

I've changed the reg file this way:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Menu\Root\Shortcut]
"MRU"=dword:00000000
"Check"=dword:00000001
"Type"="ShowToday"
"Text"="Show Today"
"Image"=dword:000000C5
"Index"=dword:0000000C

But it ain't working... When i tap the button with this reg-settings, nothing happens. So i'm stuck to the Home2 link for now... Is there something missing or set wrong?

Or do i have to do something to the lockscreen.xml of the shortcut.xml? I tried to 'reverse-engineer' some of the code in there, but i'm just not that much of a coder to understand what's in there...

By the way: i'm using the qa_layouts.dat you supplied in that post with the button...

Edit: ...forgot to mention that i'm trying to link to the WinMo default today screen from my Pro's homescreen right bottom menu button. The button text already shows 'Today' (but links to Home2 now). VGA...

[Windows Mobile Themes] eddiecanuck:
I've installed several themes before, but for some reason this one won't work. I've tried on a WM6.1 QVGA emulator and on my VX6800. I copy all the files to the Program Files\SPB Mobile Shell folder and soft reset. When I press the Spb Menu button nothing loads up. Hopefully I've just missed something. Any ideas?

If I copy back over the original theme it works fine (or other themes I've previously used). So I don't think I've deleted a needed file.
[Windows Mobile Themes] smittyofdhs:
ok, I'm having an issue with the desktop screen. My list of does not appear as it does above. I have in the following order:

The issue is that these do not open what they should, here is what happens when I click on each of the above links:

tools opens programs

programs opens internet

weather & time & email work fine

internet opens email

media opens organizer

[Windows Mobile Themes] smittyofdhs:
Ok figured out why the links didn't bring up the proper menus, you have to customize the menu so that it goes in the order that the desktop page is in, so for my screenshot above I had to order the menu as follows:

Organizer

Internet

Multimedia

Tools

Programs

Settings

Messaging

My Menu

Once my menus were in this order, the links on the desktop worked.

Now my other question still isn't answered.... why does my screenshot differ from the original poster screenshots? DId the author change the design after making screenshots or is there another file that can be customized so that we have the same links showing on the desktop screen?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Blaylox:
Funky Image

Why am I getting this large speaker image on the top bar?
[Windows Mobile Themes] smittyofdhs:
because you are using spb phone suite. That is the default icon used by the profiles.dat file located in the phone suite folder. I tried using another modified version that was made for the diamond themes but it doesn't work. So your options are either create (or have someone create) a modified profiles.dat file or you have to turn off the integration of spb phone suite in mobile shell (go to mobile shell settings > advanced > today screen > uncheck SPB Phone Suite).

[Windows Mobile Themes] eddiecanuck:
Solved it. For those having the same issue as me (unless I'm a complete dumba**, which is totally possible). I have been deleting all qa_*, qp_*, and ql_* files each time I want to change a theme as some themes don't play well with these other files. This theme however requires me to have the original theme and then just copy the files in the zip over top. Now all is working, except I have to have menu items active that I don't necessarily use a lot, but I can get used to that. Now to play with the color changer. Great theme.

Noob Question

My question is about installing this theme. I already have SPB mobile shell 2.1.5, but I am not sure of how to properly install this theme. Can someone please post step by step? I searched the forums, but they all seem to be over my head.

I tried simply simply copying the contents into the SPB programs file, but nothing changed. Then I deleted the contents and replaced everything. That made it unusable. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] deedee:
It is simply a case of dropping the contents of the zip file, not the zip itself, into the Mobile Shell folder, overwriting the ones already there and doing a soft-reset.

2) Is it possible to install your Titanum-theme and use besides the "Widgets Pro Plus" of user mskip (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3904948&postcount=2513) on lifestyle-screen (only on lifestyle - don't want to change your theme)?

In my case only one of both does work. By installing Titanum the new widgets appear in widget-menu but can't be chosen.

I'm using your fitst version of QVGA now which i totally agree that it's very impressive. however, unfortunately, i'm the one that also use Home2 and ClassicToday as well. and it's quite difficult to me to change page to ClassicToday from ProPage (i.e. there is no button to change directly to ClassicToday)

Would you mind to add an item into the bottom menu so this will be perfect for everyone whoever use ClassicToday, Home2, and ProPage.

the result of the bottom menu maybe like this

(Panels - Apps - People - Home2 - Today).

- may change "Launcher" and "Contacts" to "Apps" and "People" to fit these 5 items into one line.:)

How to edit the registry?

Hello my name is Tom, and I'm completely stunned about this theme, it's absolutely beautiful and it works really good. The only thing i don't understand is, what registry entries I have to change, to get the connection icon and the light icon working? I have a registry editor, but i don't know what I have to change.

Second thing I recognized is, that unread sms don't show up in the theme. Sms counter remains at 0. The email counter remains also at zero, because it uses the outlook synchronised email folder, but I want to use another email account to show up in the theme email counter.

I hope anybody can help me, thanks
