[06/13/08] WM7 Spb Mobile Shell Skin goes Landscape

---

This is a skin only theme for Portrait & Landscape modes and 240x320 QVGA Only. Also my first public contribution to to xda-developers community. Hope you enjoy it, feel free to modify it as you wish.

Description:

This minimalistic theme has 4 main screens (Now, Programs[9 icon], Speed Dial[8 contacts and 11 in Landscape] and Shortcuts [12]), however there are only 3 main tabs, the Shortcuts screen is visible only in 2 ways: i) Sliding your finger from right to left after the Programs screen. ii) Using the right side soft key, also after the Programs screen. If you slide your finger from left to right or use the left side soft key you´ll never see the Shortcuts screen.

IMPORTANT: Please, please read the Release Notes for further information, known issues and instructions to make it work smooth."

Headsup: Altough is not a proven fact, is very likely that the Alarm in the Now Classic mode under certain conditions may cause unstability of your phone, this unestability may be manifested in difficulties to sync with Activesync, unability to pick up a call, call incomming and in general notifications not showing up. If you don´t want to take any chances with this behavior all the scrpits for the Classic mode related to the alarm function must be dissabled. I prepared the attached qa_layouts.dat.zip which dissables all alarm related functions in Classic mode the Pro mode still has it. Just rename the file removing the extension ".zip" and copy to your phone.
