I haven't found any info on this matter...
I have tons of WM 2003SE tsk themes, but... they don't work with WM 5.0 in my Universal...
Do you know where can I find compatible themes? I tried wisbar advance desktop, but it is still in beta... I'm looking for simple tsk themes that work in WM 5.0
Any help would be appreciated.
Someone posted this a while back, I beleive you need the Pocket PC SE VGA to work with the Universal. I have not tried it yet, so do post back if they do work.
http://www.wmthemes.com/default.aspx
It doesn't work. The lower two softkeys don't change their colour, and the wallpaper appears like grey, even if it has... every colour of the rainbow.
I'm really surprised that M$ hasn't announced a theme maker for WM 5.0... And more surprised that there are only 1-2 themes available for WM 5.0 devices...
Really unfortunate...
Try this one:

try mine. i've been playing for a while. some of them are really cool. tell me what do you guys think??? rename the extention to .tsk
More to come....
svyatko you rock! Excellent themes at last!!! Send more plz!
How did you make them my friend? With what kind of software?
Thanx also for the other links to the other friend who post them
Hi svyatko,
Are you using a launcher? How did you get to show so many icons on your screen?
What is the colorful round icon near the battery icon?
Very nice themes. How did you create them?
Great themes svyatko!
I dont seem to have the additional icons!
Do I need to install flash or anything?
guys thanks for your comments. Now, all icons I have , are RESCO TODAY PLUG-IN. it's pretty cool. and it doesn't slow the system like SPB POCKET PLUS one. The icon in the corner next to the battery is POCKET INFORMANT icon.
and regarding the software I am using, its something like McDEV Theme creator. I can't remember the axact name, coz i'm @ work, sneakely writing from my Exec ;-))
yess! The program is ThemeMaker McDeb and it works...
At last I made my own themes based on the ones provided here! Thanx again my friend, it works great.
i'm glad you made it. the only problem I find difficult to solve is the dimentions of the picture. no matter how I tried, the picture gets cut in landscape or in portrait modes. it's obviously not a big deal in an abstract pictures, but in something more precise, that is a great pain in the ass...
Do you have a link for the resco today plugin?

Hi,
Could anyone suggest any sites provide quality VGA themes for free, please?
Hi!!
try www.pocketpcthemes.com
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37187
try these ive just downloaded them (11 in total) Resort is nice, looks good in purple
Maybe I'm missing something, but how do you use these .tsk files (from pocketpcthemes.com) when the appearance tab wants you to browse for picture files... Not as simple as just renaming the file.
Pardon my newbie like question...
if you put them into the windows folder on your device then you will be able to select them from the themes list in settings!

Does these themes work on the HTC Universal? The last time I tried themes from a different site they weren't displaying correctly. Is there a specific file I have to download for the Universal (EXEC)?
What happens when I rotate the screen? Does the picture rotate too or does it adjust automatically?
Hi guys,
I've created some themes for VGA PPC in my forum. Here are some.
If you guys interested I will upload it here and I won't mind do some customs themes for you guys for free. Just provide me with the pictures and I'll try my best to customised it for you. But please be reasonable ya :wink:
BTW as you all know that the top and bottom bar colour problem still exist for WM5 sorry I have yet to have any solution for that too.
Excellent work!!
You wouldn't have a Kylie Minogue theme 'laying around' would you?
Thanks

Hi Guys,
I followed with interest over the last weeks the development of Themes for Spb Mobile Shell.
There were a lot of Themes posted for QVGA devices - however few or none compatible to 240x240 (eg Treo) or 320x320 (eg i780) square VGA Devices.
After an exchange with JOPIEJ (who contributed some square Themes) I would like to start this new Threat - as the original Threats really become a little bit too difficult to follow with numerous Posts every day!
So - pls start posting away yr Mobile Shell compatible sqaure VGA Themes!
I thought this was a great idea..... but i guess the 240 x 240 is a dieing breed...
Perhaps you guys can search the skins thread and look for jolpiej. He created a number of 240x240 themes.
Put them over here so people can refer to it.
VGA
Hi,
I would agree that 240x240 will die sooner or later - however new Devices like the i780 (and as far as I know this Device is selling quite well) as well as the upcomming Treo 850 have 320x320 VGA = there should be an increasing demand.
Hope that some of the Guys who did all this great work for current QVGA will find the time to convert to 320x320 VGA Versions as well.......just a silent Prayer

Many thanks to you- for your work on square VGA theme, from another treo 750 owner!
I've been lurking in this forum for a while, trying to learn how to make my own theme.
I'm just learning how complex it really is, but I haven't had the chance to compare files (and the necessary changes) for a VGA 240x240 phone. (The square VGA devices do not seem to be a favorite anymore.)
I'm looking forward to your new theme! (And hopefully, I can learn from your expertise!)
Thanks again!

How exactly do I install this?

First save your current theme files from device/program files/spb Mobile Shell into backup folder (If you unzip the new ones you will see the file names you need to save - they are the same - you will just 'replace' them.
Once you have backed up your original theme layout files, just copy the new ones into the same directory and soft-reset. Presto.

@jopiej - Room for improvement?
Hi.
May I suggest you to include this weather icons in your wonderful creations?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2248748&highlight=samurize#post2248748
Also, i tried to adjust the status icons from the original Diamond skin to work with your Diamond+PS3 (240x240) theme with little success... I think that this could be a nice improvement.
Thanks.

But there are no native VGA skins... In each case it's resized QVGA skin, so the quality is very poor ;(
Can anyone post their VGA themes here? I can't understand their language so I can't register
I'll try and dig up my hacked version of the iPhone VGA theme that was from the clownfish one on ppc-theme but without the fish background and put it up later on tonight.
Ok here's the files I used to get it working. I did some editing of the original clownfish files to remove their original background but still able to keep the icons and menu bar. Works like a charm for me. qa_layout and the games.reg enable the 9 button support.
Enjoy
clownfish = iphone vga clone that they did on the ppc-theme site.
Al i want is the diamond look in spb 2.1, like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402021 ..... who can me help with that??

Is this a native VGA or a resized QVGA ?
Can you post some screen shots ?
I believe it's native vga. Like I said I just simply extracted the clownfish cabs and used the .dat files I needed and modified them accordingly to remove the fish background so I could just use the default colour theme backgrounds that come with it.
Basically it's the bottom menu bar, and the icon pack for the program menu. The rest is all default SPB stuff, but it works nice for me.
You can see some pics of basically what it looks like at the link below. Honestly I'm too lazy to screenshots and upload them, sorry, heh.

Is this all the themes that we can get ???
what are the chances to have some of the amazing stuff that posted in the SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 Theme / Skin Collections Thread ???

Hay all,
I found an old post on here with some interesting Touch Flow Themes and some WAD ones.
My question is - do WAD Themes work on the Blackstone an if I don't like it do I just unistall the the theme to go back to the original factory ste up?
Theres an instruction page below from the site (originally posted on here) it mentions somthing called:
WisBar Advance Desktop
Vitrual Pages
I'm new to this so a little unsure on what to do? lol
Do I just install the theme from the phone an its done or do I need the above programs?
http://www.swampthing.net/index.php...4:wisbar-advanced-desktop-tutorials&Itemid=75
Many Thanks
Anyone?
the only thing you need is the program called: Wisbar advanced desktop
to learn more about this program and its functions i advise you to go to there site and read alot,also you can read on their forums if you have questions or problems.
dont get confused between wisbar advanced and wisbar advanced desktop!
wisbar advanced is for the taskbar only!
site: http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products/pocketpc/WisBarAdvanceDesktop/
Works well on HD, been using it a lot and enjoy skinning with the program. Read at the link provided above, it really is an amazing software allowing for so much creativity.
Have fun.
Cheers guys - Im a little confused with the link above
It says $14.99 to buy yet u can download it
Are there limitations?
You get a 30 day trial and then you have to register.
This link http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=60 will give you hole load of themes to try out too.
