The files are in WinZip just copy them and paste into the SPBMobileShell folder. If u are not entirely pleased with the weather image/symbol, just copy the weather files from another source into the same SPBMobileShell folder, you can do so with other things as well. Another fun thing you can do if you want is to change the name of the title in each page like instead of 'Programs' you can put 'John's Programs' or change Weather 'My Shitty Days' haha or whatever. Just go into the text file found in the SPBMobileShell folder open the text file and look around and see what you wanna change. 2 questions i'd like to ask Greatbal and others, 1. Is it possible to create the Time animation to actually 'flip' downwards as the HTC Diamond does? 2. Is it possible to animate the weather icon to move and rain slightly like the HTC Diamond does? All the best and really great work you guys!

Thanks for the tip. I am working on a Norwegian translation at the moment.
Is this text file untouched in most skins? if not i took the tekst file from this:

Most skins do not include the text file. You can use the same text file with any skin. If a skin does not need a particular translation, it just ignores it. So say you started with the Diamond skin and you got everything translated the way you want it, then switch to BlueWaves. You don't need to make a new text file or remove anything from the one you used with the Diamond skin. Just add any new translations you need for the new skin and you are set.

This is based on the HTC Diamond theme v2.1. For QVGA Devices ONLY. Optimized for portrait mode but supports landscape mode also.

I created this theme for Mobile Shell version 2.1.2 but it should work also with version 2.1.



Available in three colors (included in the zip file attached):




How to install:

1) Download zip file attached.
2) Extract on your hard drive.
3) Copy all extracted .dat files to your device's \Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell directory.
4) Soft reset device.
5) For Color scheme option, just copy the dat files from the appropriate folder inside the Color Scheme folder of the extracted zip file to your device's Mobile Shell folder, overwriting the original (make sure you did steps 1 to 3 first).

NOTES: Suggested Settings for this theme to work properly:

1) Go to SPB Menu > Settings > SPB Mobile Shell > [Now Screen Tab] > Layout = "Professional" > Click "Configure" button > Tick (check) "Show all day events" and "Show free appointments" Checkboxes AND Set "Alarm" to "Show always" and "Calendar" to"Auto"

2) To show the appointments/Calendar items on the Classic Now Screen Analog: Go to SPB Menu > Settings > SPB Mobile Shell > [Now Screen Tab] > Layout = "Classic" > Click "Configure" button > Tick (check) "Show curent and upcoming appointments.


Enjoy!

Here's my norwegian translation of the txt-file in SPB Mobile Shell Dir.

I haven't translated the "You have x days left of trial" and so on, but i have translated everything you see in a fully registered copy. Also settings.

working a couple little mods for this bad @ss theme. the black and white buttons with the blue bevel you made and trying to figure out how to get more of a 3d effect off of the buttons so they look like they're floating. just like the digital clocks drop shadow.
