Color Theme Option:
Installing any of the Color Theme compatible background files enables you to change the color background images based on the current color theme. Just go to SPB Menu > Tools > Theme and choose your desired color. Or you can use my BaseHueExpress.exe application (attached below) to change your BaseHue, this enables choosing other colors aside from the one provided by SPB MS.
Note:
a) The Color Theme background files are included in the Optional_Files Folder.
b) Only Default (#1) and Diamond (#3) changes your Today wallpaper with the same image when choosing the theme color from SPB Menu > Tools > Theme .
---------------
1) Default
http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/5595/preview4aqs1.png
2) Default - Black
http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/8371/preview4bmn3.png
3) Diamond
http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/452/preview4cfd4.png
4) Aurora
http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/6636/preview4djo4.png
---------------
BaseHueExpress: Enables you to change your device's BaseHue. Just download, unzip and copy greatbal_BaseHueExpress.exe to your device and run from there (or create a shortcut to your Start Menu). Note: You should have NetCompactFramework version 2.0 (or higher) installed on your device.

First of all, many thanks to the amazing work of greatbal. This theme is all his work, I only take credit for converting his wonderful work to VGA.
This was pretty challenging for me, especially since I don't have a VGA phone. I have tested this on my computer using an emulator, I hope it works on your phone.
This version is Layout C with 3 contacts pages. It was made to work on VGA(480x640) screens.
Download Diamond for SPB Mobile Shell Layout C-3 Contacts-VGA here. (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9TH87T6F)
Sorry, would not upload here.
Could some brave soul try out this cab file (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QH8YC8K7)? It's my first cab and I'd like to know if it installs correctly.

oops, sorry about that. I was working both on the heart and the phone contact icons. Finally decided to use the phone icon. I must have erroneously used the heart one on some layouts. Will try to work on the changes... may not be soon as i'm truly exhausted trying to finish the theme.
If anyone would be so kind enough, I could definitely use a hand in fixing the heart vs phone contact icons. :)

Yes, much effort was exerted in coming out with this theme. But of course, only skinners would realize that. Others would just complain about bugs and imperfections. tsk tsk...

I don't have a VGA device.
It's not an easy port to VGA devices. I will have to rewrite the layouts as the positions of the images are hard-coded. It's not an easy task. The VGA version may wait until I have a VGA device myself! :)
Seriously, sorry but you may have to wait for others to make this for you.
Or if someone donates a VGA device, Iwould be very much willing to spend time in doing the VGA version. :p

This background works pretty good when you use transparent icons/clocks/etc.
P.S. The screenshots are from an older version. I just re-did it with your new version-Looks Amazing! (in my humble opinion)

Hi,
Greatbal - love your theme work!!
One question - before Diamond 1.2 I tried "diamond burnt orange" theme and in that theme the small unread counters for mail, sms and missed calls are in orange and in Diamond 1.2 they are in green. Which file can I find this info in?
What I want to do is to use Aurora style in orange but with orange unread counters ... and then maybe use the aurora style in orange as background and not change all other theme colors to orange, except the unread counters ...

They were my themes with the coloured counters. You can do this by extracting the qa_status.dat file from my theme then overwriting it onto greatbals.
I might redo these themes if its ok with greatbal and post them here.

hallo, thanks for your good work. Now i like mobile shell :D
i`m new with mobile shell and therefore some little qestions, i´m sorry but dont wanna read thousands of sides in other threads:

2. Any chance to change the weather text or the "programs-mru" text to german or other languages ?
3. any chance to change the icons in mobile shell under "programs-mru" without hacking the dlls ?

Greatbal,
I just figured out the best setup using V1.1 and along comes V1.2. Beautiful work!
A couple of initial observations:
The weather description doesn't match the weather. It is currently sunny, high overcast and 84F in Allentown. However, the description says Fog. It looks like you included the "improved" weather descriptions from V1.1 into V1.2.
The SPB Phone Suite profiel icon was located in the lower right quandrant in V1.1. It is now "squished" into the top of the Now screen. The icon is too large for the current location. Could it be moved back?
Next step is to experiment with the color options.
Thanks again,

GREATbal, this is really exceptional work and completes SPB's MS 2.1. This actually will sell their software (SPB are you listening?).
This is quite polished (only some very minor blemishes that I can find).
Regarding the wallpapers, I like that you have stuck with generally subtle backgrounds that really make the content pop, as opposed to a loud background visually obscuring the content. This follows good design practices.
Congrats on the substantial effort and very nice completed theme. I really need to search for the small utility to loop me back into MS 2.1 permantly now. WM 6.1 Home screen and Start button is now obsolete.

Anyway, a couple of questions (excuse my ignorance and for being a noobie):
1) I understand this is based on the MS 2.1 software and it is not something I've seen in the original app... but is it possible to put a tasks icon (with number of active tasks) next to the email, sms, missed calls icons on the main screen?
2) How do I make a background .dat file from an image I have?

I don't have a VGA device.
It's not an easy port to VGA devices. I will have to rewrite the layouts as the positions of the images are hard-coded. It's not an easy task. The VGA version may wait until I have a VGA device myself! :)
Seriously, sorry but you may have to wait for others to make this for you.
Or if someone donates a VGA device, Iwould be very much willing to spend time in doing the VGA version. :p
If I had a VGA device to donate I would give it to you for all your hard work. I do have this ppc emulator (http://www.downloadsquad.com/2008/03/02/microsoft-device-emulator-lets-you-run-windows-mobile-6-on-your/) on my PC and I will share with you how to find it.
I have been using it for testing and it works great. I have started to try a VGA conversion but it is pretty complicated and I don't have a working theme yet. The QVGA version has helped me so much and saved a lot of wear and tear on my phones soft reset button.

Is there an option to show current weather icon instead of daily forecast.

I would love for this to show current condition and update the condition through out the day. Is this possible?

It's obviously not ideal because it doesn't go well with the black Diamond theme, but it goes much better than the grey HTC one I had before, lol. Which, by the way is all I kept coming up with when searching. Apparently that dark grey is call black, because "black comm manager" just kept leading me to the various HTC grey ones. I also had the same problem when searching for a black action screen.

I also had the same problem when searching for a black action screen.
I have just found this cab file from a previouse install(Keller) that looks nice

Hi Jon:
Thanks so much! That is a nice Comm Manager, but unfortunately it is still that HTC grey, I am looking for something more black.
Thanks nyway for being so nice!

Is it possible to hide the time on the upper statusbar of MS2.1? It seems redundant on the Now screen, I guess it's cool for the rest. But thought I would ask as I'm sure it's a feature that can be turned on/off via a dat file.

You can edit the LockScreen.xml file inside the qa_layouts.dat. You can check the Beginners How-To thread how to do this. Good luck. :)

Anyone have the issue of the top bar being scrunched up to the right? Everything is overlapping over there in the corner (sprint, battery icon, signal strength, volume, etc.)
As seen here:
http://home.comcast.net/~robwhit/Screen02.jpg
I'm using an HTC Mogul. 1.2 version of the skin.
Someone posted many pages back that to solve that issue, he uninstalled MS2.1, deleted the isntallation folder to remove any existing files form previous themes, reinstalled MS2.1, reinstalled the Diamond theme, and everything fine after that. I don't know if this would work for you. I haven't experienced that problem using different sims of different providers from where i am. And I wasn't able to replicate any of those problems either.
And, oh, please make sure you are using MS2.1, someone else mentioned before that he mistakenly installed MS2.0, hence this result. When he uninstalled MS2.0 and installed MS2.1 and reinstalled the Diamond theme, all is well.

You have to edit the registry. Somebody posted a few pages back the 2 reg files. If you have a registry editor on your device, you can just copy them to your device and import via the registry editor. And then go to SPB settings to edit the Main Menu.

I have an idea/request. I am wondering if you would consider doing the
weather page with the Samurize 2 weather icons, provided by 420Mac, but resized to fit the large icon size of BeyondInvisible's weather icons.
I hope that their might be others that would want this. Anyway thanks to all the artists that have contributed to this forum. It's truly amazing the work that you've all done. I wish I had the skills so as not have to bother you with my requests. I have been able to create my ideal theme by copying and merging the work of others, mainly Greatbal. This is the last component to making it perfect, for me. @ Greatbal, sorry to here about the typhoon. Hope you are well. P.S. I have attached a mockup of want I am looking for. Thanks again.

hi there. first of all.. what a extremly good theme! I love it! I'd throw my todayscreen away if I could :P
but.. is there a way to get less fav contacts, with larger icons? They're just a bit to small for me.
I just figured out how to upload. So here's the Speeddial.xml that I use to get the 3x3 contacts page. You'll need to replace the one that you have in your qa_layout.dat. I don't know which layout you are using, or I'de have changed it for you. Oh,by the way this is for thelayouts with one contact page.

because i dont turn off my screen. only backlight goes off after 1 minute and s2u2 goes on then..

on my htc touch, the pinned items dont work properly anymore (in the mru screen of layout H). Some items cannot be removed anymore, I also get strange messages like pinned items cannot be more than seven.
THis happened after I did a hardreset and then installed 1.2 version
Should I also include some 1.1 files perhaps, I never had any trouble with that version for the pinned items
I use the classic diamond version btw

it's not in the registry, it's a a couple of different icons in a couple of different DAT files. Unless you know how to ue the dat files, I would wait for greatbal to fix this. It's depended upon the skin you are using. Some have the heart icon, some have the phone icon. greatbal mentioned he would work on this down the road and get them all setup the same.

After a trial and error method of overwriting .dat files I found out that those icons are in ql_bkg_now.dat and qp_bkg_now.dat files. I would change those files, but when I change the .dat extension to .rar I can see all the files, but they are password protected, which comes as no surprise as I would expect some kind of copyright protection from the creators.

Hi all
here is my adjustments to Greatbal theme & some work from few other authors
i worked for couple of hours on graphics & xml & dat files
but the main bulk come from others .. my work was tewaking things to my liking
this is the white diamond theme, "practical" (see my posts) with 3 tabs only. the clock on the main screen takes you to calender where the alarm is moved to bottom. The launcher screen has 6 icons + light&profile&weather
The NEW thing is the contacts, now the tab has 4 more pages each is 12 contacts..this is from a russian developer originaly, but i fixed it to work for diamond & fixed the landscape
the white background squares change color with theme color
all work in landscape & protrait
please check & let me know what u think...i like feedback to improve
enjoy

Also, I use layout H, but I'd rather have a calendar tab AND mru, so could you maybe modify it so that the tabs are..
Home, Calendar, Programs, MRU, Contacts??
or maybe a theme with Home, Calendar, Programs with launcher bar on top, Contacts??

If you do a search on the forum you will find a script for it. I don't have the link here, but there is a way to do it. You have to install mortscript to use it. When you installed it you can switch between the sbp contact app and another contact app (PocketCM, iContact, etc.)

Hi greatbal,
can you please make the bottom tab with this color? Just the tab, not the bottons.

Thank you...
But some files just don't work on my Touch...:
1. I can't see the aurora background.
2. In the submenu of properties I don't have any Icons for today etc...
3. All the title bars (contacts... etc.) are in english but not in german.

If you noticed, I left out Layouts D, E, F and G on this new version. This is mainly to avoid confusion with the layout naming convention of version 1.1.
I was thinking of making these layouts (D-G). But, I guess it's not advisable anymore since the Layouts A, B, C and H can be made compatible with SPB Phone Suites buy installing the SPB Phone Suites profile.dat included in the zip file under Optional Files folder.

I switched over to SPB MS from UL just to use this theme.. Very impressive!! I just love it only I wish there was a easier way for me to lock the screen real fast..
Well done and thanks for sharing.

I also have an 8525. I mapped Lock Device to a hardware button (the PTT shortpress). That way I can lock my device with a single press of a button. :)

Here's a bonus layout as requested by lepsyfou. :)
Layout A - Carousel: Similar to Layout A but with all pages shifting from left to right via the left and right gestures. No more looping between pages.
Enjoy! :)

Although I haven't tried it myself, i think lepsyfou's carbone background is compatible with Layout A. Please download his dat file and try it.

Greatball,
do you mean the F layout will not be available any more? Though i seem to be the only one to use it, i like the big profile button on the now screen, but it takes away the internet connetion icon (arrows) in the top bar.
do i have to swith to another layout? if i do so should i uninstall the F layout first?

Is it possible to display the SPB Phone Suite Icon on the Now Screen to?
In Version 1.1 there was a SPB Phone Suite Icon on the Now Screen, in 1.2 there is only a small icon at the top bar.
Its easier to tap on it with the finger with a bigger icon in the now screen :-)

You can use Layout C of version 1.2 for the meantime. I'll see if I can find time to port Layouts D-G on this new version.

I have tried every layout and was wondering if there was anyway using layout C and H that the contact section can have bigger pics? If you can only do one I use H layout the most..
I know that it will make less room for contacts but thats ok even if it drops down to just 8..
thanks

Greatball,
if you end up making a layout F on your new version 1.2, please check that the touch area of the profile button. on the version 1.1 it seems really small and hard to hit or activate with fingers, i suggest you make the touch area a little bigger please.
thx for everything!
make life easier!!!

Hi:
This is for 4x3 contacts In other words 12 contacts per page. It is great, because pics are large, but you still have 12), it was very kindly provided by mtkates.
It is for layout C. Just unzip and drop it into your MS folder.
The include frame is to be used in photo editor software if you wish to add frames to pics.

I posted what you need for 8 contacts on page 18, post #174. It's for layout C. If you want one for layout H, I can make it and post it.

Post 1981 has the Games button in a cab file
I installed tylr's cab from post 202 but this only put in the extra 'Active Tasks' tab, not a games tab.
This thread only has about 240 posts, so I think you mis-typed the number, or is it in a different thread, as I'd like to see the 9th games icon too.
Thanks! :)

Agree, I really use the big profile button on the now screen a lot, that's why my prefered layout on 1.1 is D, as I do not have spb phone suite installed.
If you just show where to edit to get it, I can adapt one of the new layouts.

I also liked the large profile indicator. My problem with the new small version, is that although it looks great in the Now screen, once you add the file to phone suites, it changes the indicator in phone suites on the Today screen also. Obviously it looks pretty silly with the other indicators, so I had to disable it from showing on the Today plugin, since I do use both the Now screen, and Today screen.

[QUOTE=jws3;2327581]Greatbal,
The weather description doesn't match the weather. It is currently sunny, high overcast and 84F in Allentown. However, the description says Fog. It looks like you included the "improved" weather descriptions from V1.1 into V1.2.

Hi,
I installed the weather icons, but they always show daylight (sun), they don't automatically change to night mode.
Any solution?
Thank you.

the Games menu is there.....first go to SPB MShell Settings....in Menu, tick box for Games and it will then come out on your Programs Menu.

Mobile Shell does not have the option display different weather icons at night. It's a limitation of SPB MS not of this theme.

I found that by pressing the OK button on my Tilt, I can exit to the Today screen. I think that using the regular SHELL 2.1 skins there was another way to do this.
Thank you.
