Questions?

I don't have an account, maybe someone else could post it there for others?

Not compatible with the resolution, you would need to completely re-do all the .xml files. ENORMOUS TASK!

Make sure you have all day events enabled in the settings, if you do, then the calendar plug-in doesn't support it. As for the alarm, you could do it, but it would also come along with the month-long calendar graphics and wouldn't mesh well at all.

A lot I think..... the program also "leaks memory," skinned or not, which means it keeps eating up more and more as time goes on. oh well :(

Will not be developing, if it were easy, I would do it in a heartbeat, but I have to have a life too! :rolleyes:

If I could upload anything to xda, I could post the .psd's. I'll try to get them on mediafire tomorrow.

Thanks! I've managed to extract the backgrounds from a beta rom, but I can't upload the zip file. I'll try attaching the screens to the next post, and if that doesn't work, I'll upload to mediafire tomorrow.

Without knowing which version you're running (QVGA or VGA), I can't truly troubleshoot, but I'll try.

Okay let me see....

1.) I'm not sure what you're trying to say? Maybe a screenshot would help.

2.) I ran into this problem during testing. I can't remember if it was because Mobile shell was not the right version, or if it was the nine menu requirement. Or maybe it was because they weren't all checked under "Customize Menu." Upgrade to 2.1.5, install the 9 Menu Cab from somewhere here on the forums, and make sure all are displayed on the main programs page.

3.) That seemed to be fine.... Anyone else have this problem? Try a fresh install I guess...

4.) Haven't had that problem either... What device are you using? Do you have SPB Weather installed? What version of Mobile Shell do you have?

5.) That is a necessary evil in order to keep the message counter numbers "hidden" offscreen.

6.) That is correct. In order to customize it, you would have to edit the lockscreen.xml file and change the order the bitmaps are displayed.

Hope some of this was useful to ya'll

Seriously thanks for all that you have done so far. Thank you for releasing it so that others may enjoy. You have put a lot of time in this and it shows.

I can understand your desire to not invest any more time on this.

I on the other hand have recently come across more free time (yay economy :\ ) and so I want to try to create a wqvga version.

I would really appreciate it if you can point myself and others in the right direction. Where is the xml/style sheet that dictates the size and arangements of the items on each page of the skin? I wouldn't mind going through it all and tweaking things to make it fit the wqvga (omnia) resolution.

If you have used some other method to create a style sheet (CSS?) then a simple point in the right direction will do.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] superrrguy:
Anyone figure this out? I tried searching but nothing came up. This is a great skin and I like being able to map a key to the MRU but I like to have a key mapped to the dial tab even more.

The current shortcut is:

"\Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell\MenuLauncher.exe" -dial

but opens the MRU screen instead.

Does anyone know what options we can add at the end of MenuLauncher to try to point to the dial tab?

background

Hi, I would love if someone could give me a detailed explanation on how to insert backgrounds. I've looked everywhere and followed directions but nothing works. I open the .dat file, insert a new 240X320 separator2.bmp (r5g6b5) file, and then rezip the file with winrar making sure to use the .zip extension, then I change the file name to .dat again and paste it into mobile shell. So far it has yet to work, when I restart my phone mobile shell won't even start. Any suggestions please?
[Windows Mobile Themes] gambit07:
Ah, nevermind. I realized it was my own stupidity. I was zipping the folder when I should have just been zipping the files. Anyway another question, I have landscape mode as well but I can't seem to find the bmp image associated with that in the file. Any help?
[Windows Mobile Themes] gambit07:
and one more time, I will post just in case anyone is having the same brain deadness as me, the landscape files are located in ql_bkg_now

About the problems I had on the VGA Version...

About the problems I had on the VGA Version...

After reading your responses, I could easily see how each of my issues may be related to my running version 2.1.0... I thought I had the latest until reading and verifying that...

Concerning that first one I was mentioning was on the 8/9 button main menu screen, having all the choices of Tools, Settings, Programs, Internet, Organizer etc.

I don't have a screenshot available, at the moment, but... The bottom 2 menu items, (3 if a 9th option had been added, but had not when I was running the theme,) had their captions not directly under their respective icons but maybe 40, 50, or more pixels further down below the items of "messaging" and "my menu" when I'd have them showing (checked on from the Customize Menu Screen)... the text-caption of the bottom left item would get behind and a little lower than the left softkey's text, "Desktop"...

Again, perhaps with version 2.1.5, I'd not have that problem any longer...

I wasn't using SPB-Weather by the way...

Thx for your reply!
[Windows Mobile Themes] TVDinner:
I installed this theme tonight on my htc fuze and it is AWESOME.

EDIT - quick question - is there a version of this with a totally black background

Thank you everyone and especially mtstmp for this incredible and original theme.
[Windows Mobile Themes] TVDinner:
how do i make the background a solid color and remove the image you have - I have uploaded the 2 files in the color changing winmo zip?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Thor84:
If you need - please check this background! This is QVGA

Rename it to qp_bkg_now.dat and copy to SPB MobileShell's folder! - that's it :-)
[Windows Mobile Themes] TVDinner:
I love everything about this theme, but am having some problems making my own backgrounds in mobile shell. I think I need different software to view and edit the files on my phone on my desktop computer. I am currently using MyMobiler and that might be the problem, or I just do not know how to rezip the files correctly.

that being said i will happily pay someone $5 via paypal to make the attached picture into the correct background file and then also post how to upload it to work with this theme.

thank you all in advance and I will pay the first person to help via paypal. Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Buff Ulo:
Is anyone able to combine the manila background with transparent top & bottom bars?

[Windows Mobile Themes] megg:
If any of us could tell me what file I have to change I'll do them for you to fit the wvga version!!!

Byeee!! :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] TVDinner:
Thor - THANK YOU very much. Here is my question/problem. Maybe you can help me.

1) I download your file and it saves it as a winrar zip archive.

2) I right click and try to rename, but the file stays a win rar zip.

3) also, I believe the fuze is vga (I could be wrong). will this be a problem?

what am I doing incorrectly and I apoligize if I am an idiot.

Thank you for any help you can give.
[Windows Mobile Themes] eyestee:
hey tvdinner, you need to open the file with winrar archiver:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] TVDinner:
I have winrar and can unzip it, but then I am left with a folder with a ton of files in it and not the .dat file like is in the theme.

how do I get it back to that. i am lost. sorry.

Questions

First of all let me say this is the best VGA theme I have seen for mobile shell to date. I do have a couple questions and am not sure if its related to the theme itself or something in mobile shell.

1. My device is an Axim X51v and does not have phone capabilities. Is there a way to remove the phone icon in the top bar? Also is there a way to replace the "email" "texts" & "calls" buttons on the now screen?

2. When switching between screens (ie now to mru to programs), the animation does not transition over the entire screen. It goes from the top of the screen down to about 4/5's of the last hexagon of the mru and programs pages (I think this is where the default spb theme goes to when showing the bottom tabs). Is there a way to adjust the animations to cover the whole screen?

Thanks in advance for any help.

3.0 coming along

Haven't figured that one out yet. I don't think it's doable skinning-wise, as mobile shell resides under the taskbar, just like a today plug-in. However, skinning this version is much better, scrolling rules!

[Windows Mobile Themes] Tipharet:
I must be a complete and utter moron. I can not get the theme installed on my Palm Treo Pro. I have tried the qvga and the vga. Im running 2.5.1.

This is my Process:

Download

Explore my device through active sync (windows explorer)

Go into program files and copy the wimo 6.5 theme files into this folder from my computer overwriting whats there.

Soft reset.

When the pro boots up I can even launch spb MBS.

Any help would be awesome.

How can I change them???

Is it just a matter of downloading from your link on first page and placing them in SPB folder and overwriting and soft reset?

I would just do it...but I dont wanna have to reinstall everything....

[Windows Mobile Themes] abumaia:
I've gone through every page of this topic but haven't been able to find a solution to this problem. I'm using MS 3.03 and this latest QVGA version on my Touch. I have been unable to change the wallpaper at all. I wanted to use the first Colour Changing back that was posted, so I copied the separator2.bmp file from that to the wallpaper.bmp in this qp_bkg_now.dat. All I get is a black background, no matter what colour I change the theme to. All the other images are working fine, so I know I re-encrypted the .dat file properly. Any suggestions? Thanks.

edit: ah, I think I have it figured. I neglected to copy the mask image as well. I'm in the process of rebooting my phone, so I'll see in a few seconds if it works or not.

edit2: no such luck, still completely black, even after changing the mask image.
