That should be the Agenda Panel thats been blanked out.. Does the Agenda Screen show ok? You could try turning off your 3D Acceleration just to check if that is the problem. Goto Spb Menu, Settings, Spb Mobile Shell, System, Use 3D Accelerator and select 'No'. The 3D Acceleration doesnt actually do much apart from the mirror affect in the Carousel. Turning it off allows the Custom Background image to display properly in the Carousel as your screenshot shows.

Try turning it off and see if you still get the white panel in the carousel.

I'm not having good luck with it. I have tested the .bmp's with your Custom.Backgrounds.on.Clean.MS35.zip method from the spb mobile shell 3.5 tips & tricks thread. They work, but have the scrolling problem. When I try using the Background Manager, it makes the fundoleta ok. If I extract the fundoleta it makes, there is only Background.bmp and BackgroundL.bmp. I do not have an Index.xml. It does open winrar and shows it working (I've only tried All Screens so far). If I use that fundoleta with the Background Manager, it just gives me a black screen. The icons/names also smear when scrolled on the screen (like the launcher). The Background Manager "Disable Custom Background" work fine and leaves me with a black screen/no smears when scrolling.

I haven't really looked much at the .mscr to see what files it is supposed to be creating or what it is modifying in qa_layouts. If you tell me what to look for, I can see what is happening on my device.

In general, the DroidPlus scripts seem to be hit or miss running them on my device. Sometimes it will not restart ms unless I exit the launcher first. Other times it will just not restart ms. If this happens, I am then unable to launch DroidPlusManger again without a soft reset. I am using 6.5.x SYS and cooking Mortscript 4.1.1.7 in. Should I upgrade to 4.2?

Thanks for all of the work.

**edit**

Adding in Index.xml to qa_fundotela1.dat was all that was needed. It is now displaying the fundotela on all spb screens.

[Windows Mobile Themes] riotman:
Hey mskip, i tried your Droid 2.2 + background changer and i want to give you some feedback.

The background changer works flawlessly, great job. But i ve noticed something strange, custom backgrounds for professional screens cause lagging while switchen betweens different professional screens. scrolling through programs menu is also laggy when applying a custom background and pretty much every menu acts the same where scrolling is possible

Also when i scroll through a scrollable menu with my finger and keep it on the screen the background leaves its original position on the screens and gets mixed up but returns when lifting the finger off the screen.

Am i doing something wrong ?

The other features work greak, easy swtichable menu bars, nice widgets and a total new look and feel of spb mobile shell.

If only this lag wouldnt occur on prof screens and other screens (Lifestyle panel is fine).

My device is a Acer Neotouch with WM 6.5.3 WVGA Screen

edit :

A nice little feature for the background changer would also be great: remember last directory. it takes time to get to the desired directory :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Goto HKLM, Software, Spb Software House 2, Spb Mobile Shell, Menu, Root. There are 3 folders in there called MenuBarKn_2, 3 and 4 that control the action of the links (2= task manager button, 3= middle button and I guess you cant figure what 4 is lol). If the link is set to an Spb Screen then the Layout key will have text such as 'taskmanager', if the link is set to a file then the file key will have text in it.

If those are all set correctly and its still not working then im not quite sure what the problem is as it seems to work fine on everyone elses phones.

You dont have mortscript installed on your phone do you?

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] leen15:
uhm... so if i try to set Task Manager button to "Spb Time", the Layout key is correctly set to "time", but in spb mobile shell the button still have the "task manager" text, and the contact list function :(

What i wrong? :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
The professional screen and other spb screens (apart from the lifestyle screens) werent originally designed to have a background image on them so if the screens are a bit laggy with backgrounds set im guessing its just because spb havent taken that process into account and the screens are having to load a 300kb-1Mb file everytime it opens which of course would create a certain lag. The lifestyle screen background probably gets cached so it loads alot faster as its been designed to do. Saying that I dont get any lag at all with custom backgrounds so it may just be something to do with your phones roms drivers.

The fundotela images are only the size of the screen and dont get fixed in place when they are applied so when you put your finger on the screen to scroll up or down (if allowed) then the background goes with it. As soon as you take your finger off it jumps back to place so I have never been that bothered about it. A member posted in here that he had fixed the files to stay static on a scrolling screen but I havent heard back from him for a few days so hopefully he can shed some light on what he did if he (or she) ever surfaces in here again.

I did try to find out how to set the folder to Storage Card, Fundotela Files when using the background enable feature but couldnt find out how to do it. I will send a message to Vos and see if he can help. If he knows how to set the path then its easy to store the last used location and set it for the next use.

Thanks for the feedback :)

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
The buttons 'text' will never change as thats just an image and cant be changed to the new function. However the action of the button should have changed if you set it to Time and its still opening the Task Manager.

When you press any of the 3 center buttons for about a second (until the grey box pops up over the button) and then slide your finger into the middle of the screen (still making contact with the screen) does the box over the button stay on the screen or does it disapear? That would verify whether the overlay buttons was working or not. Sorry if its a bit confusing.

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Do you have mortscript installed on your device prior to installing this theme? Someone mentioned they had problems with it and uninstalling mortscript solved all their problems.

I dont know why the background creator didnt work properly for you as the base file for creating the fundotela files already has the index.xml file included. You might want to check the qa_fundotela.dat file in the Mobile Shell/Options folder.

[Windows Mobile Themes] leen15:
The problem is that the Task Manager button don't open the Task Manager, but always the spb contact list with the keyboard. :p

If i understood (press the Task manager button, keep press, go to the center of the screen, and release the finger) the button stay gray until i don't press another thing.

I have a little idea: I think it will be easier, if you make a backing panel for 4, 5 and 6 switchers and make switchers without grey background (icons only). So we will need to place widgets on backing panel in any order and any count.

Concerning Background Manager

Hey guys,

First off, amazing theme.

One question though:

When i use the Background Manager to create a fundotela file, and afterwards use it as a custom background on all spb panels, i get a serious bug.

All the panels simply have a black background (no image) and when i operate in them, text and pictures get smeared out and everything gets unreadable.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
What resolution are the images you are trying to use to create a background file. Also what format and bit size are they?

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] HCTerrorist:
Hey thanks for a quick response.

I'm trying to use a 480*800 background (changed from .jpg to .bmp).

Horizontal reso: 96dpi

Vertical reso: 96dpi

Bit depth: 24

After reading you Backgroundpost, i think this 24 bit depth has to be 16?

If so, My knowledge of converting this is minimal at best, and I don't really get how to change it.

Thanks in advance.

That's the same thing that happened in my case. I'd bet he's missing index.xml in the fundotela as well.

Try extracting qa_fundotela1 from \program files\spb mobile shell. If there is only background.bmp and backgroundL.bmp, then you are missing Index.xml like I was. Put the following in a .txt file and rename it Index.xml (make sure it is not a .txt anymore)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<skin name="Fundotela">
<items>
<item id="Backgrd">
<Bitmap Name="background" Image="background.bmp" />
<Bitmap Name="backgroundL" Image="backgroundL.bmp" />
</item>
</items>
</skin>

Then zip background.bmp, backgroundL.bmp, and Index.xml with password b0fm18zq. Copy it to \program files\spb mobile shell and restart SPB MS.

The cab has a skeleton fundotela file that is copied to the spb mobile shell\options folder. It is used to build the custom backgrounds so im guessing if you dont have one then either something went wrong with your installation or you had a bad download.

Rename the attached file to qa_fundotela.dat and copy it to the above folder and you shouldnt have any problems creating custom backgrounds using the manager.

Does anyone know how many work it is to port this to SPB?

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7U76RSSG

It is easy to extract the files. I opened the old clock file, as I read a few pages back. Did both of the bmp files,, and saved it.

Clock shows up but a lot of things are wrong. I know the reason, photoshop did make a unasked gardient, between the black and white area (on the mask picture) how do I solve this? or anyone who can port this?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
To create a background file you need to files in .bmp format. The portrait file needs to be 480x800 (for WVGA) and the landcsape file needs to be 800x480 (for WVGA). You then copy both files to your storage card and use the background creator to make the file. It can then be applied by enabling backgrounds in the manager.

Unzip the attached file then copy it to your storage card and apply it using the background manager.

[Windows Mobile Themes] dravik:
I want the clock (inclusive frame) to be ported.

I extracted the files if the clock (provided on the megaupload link) I found out they are perfect for an VGA device. so till this point everything went well.

I opened the old clock .bmp file in photoshop. THen I took the new frame and pasted it over the old frame. It fits nearly perfectly. everything else then the frame I made black so it would be easier for making the mask I thought.

Then I made the mask. first I selected the part where the numbers will take place.I made it absolutely white., Then I sleceted the frame and made it a little grey so it will be a little transparant? and finaly I made everything else black.

The problem is that on the result parts of the frame are fully transparent. I zoomed in to the frame and found out photoshops make an gardient line between the layers of diffrent colors. It is exactly on the places where the transparent pixels are.

Any help?

Thank you for answering. This theme if the best theme available on the internet. I just want to port this for fun, I don't know if the result will be really better..

Because themes need to be installed to the same folder as spb mobile shell is installed to for anything to work and by default mobile shell is installed to the Device Memory. After you install the theme you can copy everything (including mobile shell) to the Storage Card using sktools if you want but im not sure how much would work. Dont do it manually or you will screw everything up.

A tutorial would take a lifetime to write. If you are really interested in learning mobile shell themes then the first thing to do would be download a cab manager for windows mobile, then open the mobile shell cab and extract all the files to your pc. Do the same with one of the many themes and see what the differences are. Instructions on most mods done can be found in the Mobile Shell 3.5 Tips and Tricks thread so search and do research. If you have any specific questions after that then feel free to ask.
