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

thanks for the appreciation guys. I spent so much time and effort in doing this theme. Thanks much for appreciating. :)

Now, can somebody please post some really nice wallpapers to go with this theme so I can add to the collection. Personally, I'm not too happy with the Diamond Wallpapers i posted. But I just included them because of requests. hehe :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)

Thanks! I'll try to work on this one. But will use the opaque clocks/icons for the meantime. It will take much time editing if I do the transparent ones now. :)

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 ...

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Looks amazing Greatbal! You have truly made my day :)

Would it be possible for someone to please make cab files of the various layouts? Or at least layout C and H?
Thanks so much!

You can edit the qa_status.dat to change the unread counters to whichever color you like.

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.

    I just downloaded v2.1 and it's doing the same thing v2.0 was doing to me. The aligning is off when I click on something. Can anyone tell me how to fix?

    And can I get the fire background from v1.2 on this?

    Get back to me ASAP please. I'm getting muy frustrated.

    Thanks!!

    Oh, and just an FYI... on v2.1 when you're changing the color scheme.. you can't go BACK.. you can only to MORE (colors)

    If you are using Mobile Shell ver 2.1.1 (the newest version) that is probably what is wrong. A lot of people are having problems with this skin and the newest version of Mobile Shell. We are trying to work with SPB to find out what is wrong. In the mean time, I would suggest installing Mobile Shell version 2.1.0 which can be found as a link in this thread or I am told you can find it on the SPB website under previous versions.

    As far as other backgrounds, some new ones have been posted in this thread that offer landscape support for Diamond v2.1, although I don't know if the one you are requesting is included or not.

    I see that these are your first 2 post to XDA so I'll be gentle. When you find something on XDA that you like and want to use, please take the time to read the entire thread where you found it. This problem has been reported several times in this thread already. I know it can take a lot of time to read some of these posts, but you might be surprised at what you can learn and your questions may already be answered.

    I hope this helps and you get it working properly, it's a great skin for a great program., and WELCOME to XDA!
