You have to find a skin that matches your screen resolution. If you have ma and ms files, you cannot use qvga skins.

I will do my best to fix that. WVGA is especially hard to do because I have no way to test it, but may be able to fix it from your picture. Thanks for posting it.

When I get the VGA version working properly I will make it available to download in this thread. The VGA version has some major memory problems at the moment.

I am listening and considering all comments/requests, but as I have very little free time at the moment, I will not be doing special requests until I have all my current projects completed.

Alternate VGA Download Here is a two part download for the VGA preview. You need to download and unzip both parts then transfer the files to your phone.

LMAO..^^^..Best one yet!

I do not know what a Mobile Shell xperia panel is.

You do not have to hard reset. If you delete all the manila files in the windows directory, you will go back to your original manila setup that is in your ROM.

I can confirm. I am still working on the VGA version. The problem is in the memory. The pictures in VGA are 4 times as large. I have a VGA device now and hope to have this fixed soon.

Sorry, but that first pic offends me a little. :D

I am working on Windows Field Revisited and Ultimate WM7, both of which will include VGA. WinField works on VGA now in portrait. Still working on landscape. WM7 still needs some work on VGA. I recentlt got a VGA device so I am planning on other skins, but it takes me a long time. See my...

The only way to make it black would be to change all the image files.

I pretty much do this stuff by trial and error. I am working on another skin also and have come up with a few techniques I am going to try out on this skin. You may want to just tear a few skins apart and get a feel for how the xml files in qa_layouts.dat works. The biggest problem with VGA...

The weather buttons are hidden by design. To change city/settings click on the city name in upper right area. To update click on the last updated area in the lower center. You will see a little highlight area light up when pressed.

The flip clock will be an added option in the final release along with other background options. Work on this skin is going slow right now but it is still going. The options will be done after square screen and landscape are done.

I still need to make changes for this skin to work properly on VGA devices. I just recently got a Diamond and I will be working on this skin in the future to try and get things working right. VGA devices use images that are 4 times as large as QVGA so the VGA version is having problems...

You may want to check your image settings. I have not used GIMP, but in other image programs you have to save as an advanced setting and choose 16 bit R5 G6 B5. A regular 16 bit setting will not work. I can give you an example of Photoshop Elements that I use. I select "Save As" and select .bmp...

Yes, the weather built into Mobile Shell is very limited. I do not know of any way to integrate another weather program into Mobile Shell. It has been a very common request in the past and I am still hoping that SPB will address the situation, but I'm not going to hold my breath waiting.

Rapidshare link for VGA on post #2.

Windows Field Background Image Here is the full size image I used for this skin.

Will rapidshare work?

For tsk file and wallpaper, see the link below. The images should work for s2u2 but will be too small for a computer. I will upload a larger version of the image this evening after I get home. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2330841#post2330841

When selecting the path, it will not display the files, just the folders. Select the folder your files are in and click on OK. It will load the files in the selected folder.

Installing manila files is easy. I recommend installing Total Commander on your phone. It is a free file explorer tool and can be used to transfer the manila files to your windows folder. A file explorer such as this is a must for anyone who wants to learn how to mod their phone. As for .cab...

When SPB started changing things around with v2.1.1 I was working with SPB to try and get things resolved and also to try and get some information from them about the classes used in the programming, but they did their modifications and came out with v2.1.2, which helped but limited what we...

It sounds like you are using the VGA version. I am aware of the problem and hope to have it fixed in a future release. My skinning work is going very slow right now due to real life being really busy lately, but you can be sure that I want the VGA to work on my new Diamond so if it can be done...

Is there a specific service you have in mind?

No need for you to apologize to anyone. You have been doing great work and offering it for free. I will gladly wait as long as necessary for you and others to submit your free contributions to this community. Thank you! :D

Yes, I know it does. I have recently purchased a VGA device and will be working on this skin again as soon as I have time. I have been working on another skin and I think that I may have found some ways to change the graphics around to make it more efficient. Congrats on making some of your own...

SPB changed something in the Mobile Shell programming that affects the way the touch area is used when using 2 classes of status icons, so I decided to just use the original status until I am able to find a way to move the status count. As for the analog clock in version 2, it is in the same...

I do not know of a way to fix the icons from the previous version to work with the new version of Mobile Shell. That is why I changed them to the original Mobile Shell icons with the count below the icon. I spent many, many hours trying to figure out a way to make the old icons work properly but...

There is this new thing called a search engine. You can type in a few words and it will give you some suggestions on where to find what you are looking for. There is one in particular called "Google". Below is a sample of what Google can do for you.:D...

Did you try them on a Sprint phone with the default theme? That is the only way I have tested them.

Look for Windows Field Revisited skin for Mobile Shell. There is a link in my signature line. Download version for your screen resolution. Unzip skin files on your computer. Put all files on your phone to replace the files in Program Files\SPB Mobile Shell folder. Soft reset your phone.

Change to "Sprint" logo and clock Ditto on all the praise, you deserve it. Thanks. Here are a few small changes for your list. First is for the Sprint theme and chages the text in front of the Sprint logo from "Sprint" to "Touch Diamond". I have also attached a file that removes the Sprint...

Check out the Windows Field Revisited and the Ultimate WM7 skins in my signature. They are works in progress, but have 240x240 versions and also VGA versions for the Diamond and other VGA devices, plus other resolutions are also available. The VGA for the WM7 still needs some work, but the...

No, I have a Diamond and I run 3D half the time and Mobile Shell the other half, so I am pretty much limited to skins I make myself, at least for now. I'm sure that as VGA becomes more popular, others will be making skins in VGA.

I am really liking how this is turning out, but I assume it is only for QVGA. If I ever get some free time I may have to see if I can convert it for my Diamond. Good Job! Maybe I will fire up my old phone so I can check it out.

For those of you having problems making skins work on your phone, please check and see what your screens resolution is. For example, the Diamond is a VGA screen with a 480x640 pixel resolution. Most skins are made for QVGA 240x320 resolution. If the skin does not say it is for VGA or WQVGA or...

Install SPB Mobile Shell. Replace files in Program Files/SPB Mobile Shell with the files downloaded here. Soft reset. Start Mobile Shell.

Sorry, I have had very little time to work on this. Every time I get started back on it, something else comes up.

Unfortunately that is a limitation of Mobile Shell and there is no way to change it. That is a common complaint with Mobile Shell.

That is the default place for the date with the Sprint Diamond.

Here is mine, at least for today. Still working on some mods.

I recently got a VGA device and tested the VGA version and it had some problems displaying properly so the WVGA will have the same problems. It may take some time, but I plan to get back to this skin and make some changes to try and get it working on higher resolution devices.

The current version is different from the previous version due to changes SPB has made to Mobile Shell.

But none better!:D

Still working on several different aspects of this skin. This problem will be addressed before final release. Thanks for the input.:D
