[Windows Mobile Themes] Phonatic:
Easy method for changing themes

ALL resolutions

Required: Mortscript and some themes

I made a set of themes to use as an example for qvga users.

I will post mortscripts here to allow you to switch from one theme to another.

Instructions:

1. Download and unzip my Spb Themes and Mortscripts .

2. Place the Spb Themes folder in the root directory of your phones storage card.

3. Place the Mortscipts folder anywhere you want on your phone or storage card.

4. Use file explorer and open the Mortscripts folder.

5. Select a theme script and press/enter.

THAT'S ALL.

Wait for the theme to change. Be patient. On my Tilt it takes 20-25 seconds.

To avoid using file explorer in selecting a theme, MAKE SHORTCUTS.

I suggest putting shortcuts either in your "My Shortcuts" folder of your launcher page.

Or on page 7 of your Lifestyle layout. Or both.

==========================================================

For non-qvga users. The method is the same. If you have themes that you are already

switching between, put them all in a folder labeled Spb Themes and follow step #2.

To explain how to create a theme changing mortscript, here is a script for me to demonstrate on.

XCopy ("\Storage Card\SPB Themes\[B]FolderName[/B]\*.dat","\Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell", TRUE )
run ("\Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell\MenuLauncher.exe","-stop")
Sleep (5000)
run ("\Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell\MenuLauncher.exe")

That's the entire script, all 4 lines of it.

It's basically the Spb resetter script. I believe I posted the script before toniolo.

You can check my posts from about a year ago.

Anyway, I added a line above the 3 lines of the resetter script. It's just a copy and paste command.

It's the only one that you'll need to edit.

To make you own Mortscripts:

1. Open notepad

2. Copy the script above and paste into notepad.

3. Replace FolderName with the folder name of your theme.

4. Save as, Folder name of your theme.

5. Now that you have a FolderName.txt, Change the file extension from .txt to .mscr

6. Now you have FolderName.mscr.

You have just written your mortscript. Put it on your phone and execute it. Wait for the theme to change.

Write a script for each theme.

You don't have to put entire themes into your folders.

You can put any .dat files into your folders. for example you can just use it to just change fondotela files

if you want to change only the backrounds. Or Fondecran.dats to have multiple backrounds etc...

==========================================================

As a side note. Since this is just a simple copy, paste, and reset script this method can be used for any program. For example, I had a script that changed S2u2, Icontact, psShutxp,

windows media player, spbms. The entire phones theme changed with one press of a script.

If anyone knows how to get windows today screen to refresh/reset, please post it. I was able to copy and paste the .tsk

file, but never figured out how to have it refresh without having to go into the today screen settings.

See ya next time I get a chance to visit.
