Hi all, I've been following the SPB Mobile Shell 2.0 thread for sometime, but I've noticed it's turned into more of a development discussion thread.
There are many fantastic themes in the thread, but crawling through all 80+ pages takes its toll!
So I was wondering if we could collect all the completed themes here in this format (see post #2 for example):
Theme name + version
Theme description (layout, what is replaced, background etc)
Screenshots (photobucket is better than imageshack! Or use forum attachments)
Attachments (in .zip or self installing .cab)
Please please please could you post updates/revisions of your themes by editing your original posts rather than replying so that we don't have multiple editions of your themes!
Please keep this thread tidy and to ask development questions or discuss work-in-progress: CLICK THIS LINK. Of course questions about specific themes are welcome
- If you want to design your own themes, there is also the excellent "how to" thread: SPB Mobile Shell 2.0 Beginner's How-to
- If you want to use SPB Mobile Shell 2.0 as your default "today" screen, please check out this thread
Installation
- If the theme is .zip: unzip and replace files in \Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell\ on your device
- If the theme is .cab: run cab file on device and install to device/storage card (wherever you originally installed SPB Mobile Shell)
- Remember: Backup your spb folder before installation so that you can revert back to the original if something goes wrong
- Backup Alternative:: See post #2 for a .cab containing original Spb Mobile Shell 2.0 skin
Example:
SPB Default Skin v1.0
This is the standard SPB mobile shell 2.0 default layout. There are 3 pages (Now, Programs - 2x6 small & 2x3 large, Contacts - 4x4) and no background.
You can use this cab file to restore the original skin if anything goes wrong. It contains full layouts and icons for QVGA and VGA devices (hence 2.13mb).
See post #1 for installation instructions

What the aim of this thread is to possibly develop the diamond theme/Point ui theme into a cool,sleek uncluttered new design.
If You have a good idea for changes and are not able to actually create it, then you could produce an image of your idea and post it on here, then perhaps one of us could then create it.
Probably the end result maybe something completely different to what We started with.
So calling all designers and creatives - Post your ideas and hopefully the skinners amongst us will be able to make your ideas into themes.

If You want 3 page Contacts section My Diamond themes kockroach has created one Here
If You need a WMP skin for Diamond burnt Orange look Here made by marfanuk.
Gsmart variations
Gsmart burnt orange added - possibly more user friendly
Gsmart darker burnt orange - is alot easier on the eye than the other.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
A request from Nightcookie was to remove the button labels on the launch screen. Thanks to Agamemmnons help, Here it is.
Just unzip the file and overwrite the original spb file.
This with work with all My 'Our Theme' and 'gsmart' themes. Download Here
Our Theme and variations
This is a new theme made from the best bits of Diamond 1.2 & Gsmart with a few tweaks of My own. I think we have created a really sleek, simple & usable design.
1.All fonts changes to Candara
2.The highlight button along the bottom run of buttons removed - You should know where You are without the button having to tell You! This also minimises the clutter on the theme.
3.The greyish coloured background is removes from behind the date etc - I think its just not necessary and again helps remove clutter.
4. Currently only supporting QVGA Portrait, although it does work on landscape - just looks abit crap.
'Our Theme' version 1.01
Fixed the contact page. The icons are now the same as gsmart ones.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
'Our Theme' Mellow blue with QVGA Portrait support only. File also includes today theme.
Image is abit decieving as the theme itself is a bit bluer on the Phone.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1
Our theme sky also has today theme in the file. QVGA Portrait support only.
Version 2
'Our Theme' Sky 2.0 has the following changes removed the button labels on the launch screen. Thanks to Agamemmnons help. Repaced the weather with BIG weather by ahmedfikry. ----------------------------------------------------------------
Two more variations on the 'Our Theme' skin. All I have done is changed the clocks. Again QVGA Portrait support only.
Hmmz...great Skin..i think now adays the forum is filling up from great Grapix Designers like you and others
Credit goes to BoB_55 for these Weather Icons and 420 Mac.
This can be used with any of my Diamond 1.2 themes.
Just overwrite the original file with the attached one.
----------------------------------------------------
As you might have noticed I changed the font on the diamond 1.2 themes. For the people who like this font change, I have done the same for my gsmart themes - see photo.
This is only for My gsmart themes GSmarted pointui red, GSmart burnt orange, GSmart dark burnt orange & GSmarted mellow blue
In the file:-
qa_layouts.dat - just use this to overwrite the original file in spb ms
Fonts - copy them to windows/fonts
soft reset.
If You want S2U2 theme for Gsmart burnt orange ahmedfikry has created one Here
ahmedfikry gsmart themes
Gsmart Burnt Orange Landscape by ahmedfikry
This is the fixed (no hanging or freezing) GSmart Burnt orange theme
with working landscape & portrait
Its based on Layout B of GreatBals Diamond 1.2. You can choose digital or analogue from spb shell settings, its Carousel, so you can flip between all pages.
I also included the new Big Samurai weather icons with fixing text issues and it also has 3 contact pages.
included, matching today theme & S2U2 matching look in the zip.

Thanks Guys for your interest.
This burnt orange design is very very beautiful.
Thank you!
these are beautiful. thank you for your awesome work. i was wondering if you could make and additional version with the HTC Diamond's default background. also, you should contact chriscsh about his weather graphics, because it looks like he either ported them over from the diamond, or made very good replicas.
once again, thank you for your work

I would never close my now screen before either until i started using rumball's animated weatherpanel skin. (which is awesome by the way.)
I was actually thinking of doing different layouts, like mru tab instead of close tab or eliminate the fourth tab entirely and just leave 3 tabs. all depending on comments.
this looks really good
thank you for ur share

well actually, my idea was to do a different layout because as much as i like the diamond look too, i like to change looks every now and then. maybe after mods and colors i plan to do, i can try something out to implement diamond into it.

Absolutely awesome theme. I have been trying to find a replacement for the Diamond (good theme, but time for a change) and this one sent all the right signals. I wanted to change some aspects though, I will be loosing the close button and adding an mru tab instead. The extra mail icons on the contas and program tabs will go as well.
Look for a post later today or tomorrow!
Ok folks i spent lots of time modifying my Touch Pro.
I would like to share my icons here
PLEASE READ ALL MY NOTES AND INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING!
Instructions:
1. Download my file and unzip it on your Storage Card on your mobile
2. Disable TF3D (Settings-Today)
3. Open Total Commander and navigate to the extracted folder
4. Right click on the manila file that you want to use (you can use the ctl button on Total Commander for multiple selection). Do NOT copy the whole folder containing the manila files; copy ONLY the manila files instead!!!!!! For extra information on the way i organized the zip file check Note 2
5. Click on copy/move. Then select the Windows directory on your phone & overwrite if prompted (Caution: your storage card might also have a windows folder. You need to select the one on your phone!)
6. Re-enable TF3D[/B].
7. Soft reset (only if it is not working yet)
Notes:
1. Landscape mode will NOT work on the Diamond by default (only if its modded to do so. Do not ask me how to do it, i have no idea)
2. Folder Content: The zip file contains separate folders each of which includes the files for a different mod. So for example, the folder "Fire Slider" ONLY includes the files required for the slider to work. you ONLY need to copy the manila files. I included the PNG icons in the zip just in case someone wants to mess around with them.
3. In case the icons don't work, use Diamond TF3D config-->Appearance-->Restore Default and then follow my steps.

i added a couple of custom backround for those who are interested.
Everything you need is in the attachment. To change the background, copy the manila files found under the "Other Backgrounds" folder
Normal Backround
Light Blue Backround
Dark Blue Backround
here is a little present, a nice blue backround for portrait mode (matched the colours above )
Blue & White Theme!!!
These are the TF3D icons..i will also make an extended version with camera icons, custom music tab..stay tuned!!!
Calendar
Call History
Update 27th October
Included a version with identical tab icons after request. (So, Tray icons and Scrolling icons are identical.)
See Blue & White Portrait IDENTICAL TABS.zip
UPDATE 24th October
INDIVIDUAL THEME TF3D MODS!! - A small collection (some of these are spread on the forum)
MADE TO MATCH THE BLUE THEME
Place the manila files in your windows directory to get the following to work
1. BLUE TF3D SELECTION (Excluding clock)
2. HOME TRANSPARENT SELECTION (so even if you select it looks like you didnt..keeps the looks clean)
3. BLUE GLOBE WITH BLUE SELECTION (This is only for the GLOBE!!) (copy the manila AND the pictures to get the globe to work!!!!)

Perfect - Really pleased with the look - especially with the font changed too - Thanks for sharing your work
PS - How about posting this on the Raphael Forum too????
.
will do in a few minutes
kickass black& White landscape theme on its way
ps: what font is that? looks good
it doesn't work for me . The pc can't copy the file 499b699fe into the windows folder of the pro. Do you know a solution because I like your the a lot
you need to use total comander on your phone for it. Windows file explorer (both Mobile and Desktop) wont allow you to overwrite system files.

copy the files sowhere in your phone and then use this program to move them to the windows directory
PS: Black & White theme almost done..loving it
edit: Black & White theme added

thank you, it's working
added a blue& white theme after member request.
see post 2 for more details
i think it work on touch pro only, anyway tested on my diamond don't work.
post on raphael section
Dont blame me for it not working as it is written clearly that this will only work on the touch pro by default
there is a method to make it work on the Diamond but i cant help with that...there is a thread about it though
anyway, as ALSO mentioned in the first post, this thread will include PORTRAIT icons (which i am working on now), which makes it suitable for the Diamond section
edit:
here is a SMALL preview of the kind of icons to expect...i will make different themes so stay tuned

Does your Diamond support Landscape? Or can u just show Portrait mode?
I have to say: Works absolutely great on my Diamond (Dutty 2.6)
I love the Fire Landscape Icons
so with brins0 gyrator, will this screen activate when manila is in landscape on diamond? anyone tested? this question is for users not you Giannis86.
i really would like to help in that but i can never test it as the touch pro has landscape by default..it is possible though, maybe Mar'Cel would like to share how he got it working
anyway, Blue Portrait Theme is quite far.. I just made most TF3D icons. I need to make one for calendar and call history for those using them...here is a little teaser of the current status
Why not^^ There are two ways (that I know) to get the Landscape menu on our Diamond.
1st. Way: Flash Duttys v.2.6 ROM^^ Works perfectly!
2nd. way: Add the Landscape menu as a seperate tab in TF3D --->Link
and then use any Screenrotation software u like and enable it for Manila...
But via this way u can only switch to the LAndscape menu when u are in that tab... and it caused some crashes on my Diamond so this is no good solution...

NEW VERSION 2 AVAILABLE:
FINAL VERSION AVAILABLE:[you will have to download Version 2 and then replace the vp_bkg_now.dat file with the one from V3 for it to work]:
Please note these themes are tested working with SPB mobile shell 2.1.4.
Installation Instructions are included in the ZIP
To do:
- Port to work with Panel version [coming soon] - Unfortunately I will not be doing this as I do not have to time to test/port to the panel version, if anyone with the skills to do it would like to port it you are more than welcome to, however please do mention the original creator as well, as a lot of hard work has gone into these themes
Please note: there is a qa_layout.zip file attached aswell, this file is a mod to remove the 12 pinned items in the menu screen [up the top], and to remove the grid lines aswell. Please make a backup of your original qa_layout.dat file before placing the new one.
- INSTALLATION:
1. download qa_layout.zip and rename it to qa_layout.dat
2. you simply have to copy the file and paste it into your device's program files > spb mobile shell folder
3. Do a soft reset.
Actual screenshots of V3 running on the XPERIA can be found on page 4, thanks to LFCFredda

Я использовал панель
I used to panel
The Panel version didn't work for. Like mention in the Readme, I copied the two .dat files to spb mobile shell folder. After I soft reset (using software soft Reset tool from spb shell), the panel displayed just like before but the bottom buttons to scroll to different screens and the arrow button to navigate multiple pages withing spb Mobile Shell are missing.
same here...
ok, thanks for testing it out. I will look into it and try to fix that asap
Can someone please post a screenshot of what the panel version looks like at the moment so i can get around fixing it acordingly
Thanks
does not work at all on the X1
the theme looks awesome! Can't wait 'til it works with the panel!
Saw that it was done, however, it doesn't work. The only thing that happens is that the background is black, icons are the same but the small shortcuts at the bottom are gone... Any clue to why?
I can send you the entire folder from the panel
mobilemodman:
i was wondering about the statement to make a "quick" port to the panel version.
you cannot port this theme by just moving the bitmaps around. the x1 uses only 3 tabs. at least you have to modify/change the images for the bottom buttons (and side buttons in landscape mode) and therefore you have to change more than 1 or 2 xmls for the new button sizes. also: if the original background is in color you have to remove the "simple.background" class and replace it with the "gradient"-class including the seperator (which is normally not used in the panel version) in most of the layout xmls.
my guess is: this will take longer ... especially if you depend on others to test it in the panel version.
dont get me wrong ... i really would like to see a port of this theme ... but at the moment it looks to me like you want to do this "the easy way" and this is only possible if you can test your changes by yourself.
can anyone post an original screenshot how it is supposed to look ?
have fun,
quadword
panel version not working for me, none of the icons on the tabs show, nor do the icons from shortcuts. the only thing working is the black background.
@ sshick - are you sure you installed the panel version [the second zip file in my first post], because those icons in your screenshot aren't in the panel version :S. try re-installing spb mobile shell on your X1 because it seems you still have the previous theme that you tried to install
@ Quadword - yes thanks for the tip, I know the panel version has a copmletely different layout, I had changed the layout to match with the layout from the original panel version, however it seems like there are a few problems:
1) I dont think the panel version can handle colour images as the background/wallpaper, which is why the background is black, I didnt know I had to edit the xml, but thanks for the tip will do that and see
2) there is some problem with the icons at the moment, I will look into this tomorrow
3) I am busy today, but would get to work 2mrw morning and try to fix the panel version issue
@ everyone - thanks for helping out with testing, I decided it would be easier if i tested it myself so I'm going to install the panel version of SPB on my fone and test it out tomorrow. Also my new Theme is almost ready, but that is for 2.1.4 Spb mobile shell version. I will look into porting that aswell
Quadword - what folder/ .dat file would i find the xml that needs editing for the background to accept colour?

Thanks QuadWord, that would be a great help. I will try that out tonight and see if I can get that panel version up and running. BTW do you know how to change the xml's so that the Tab buttons are in colour aswell??

i am not sure if i understand your question correctly ... because all the buttons use color bitmaps by default (as you can see by looking at the original theme).
the 3 buttons on the bottom to switch your screen are called "tab buttons".
the softkeys (contact & rescent) are WM6.1 and not included in the Spb-Panel.
- quadword
Looks great in non-panel version.
One thing though; The background doesn't stretch to fit the screen. Is that fixable, or a "bug" in MS? I tried resizing the images but ended up with no background at all. I didn't read much on Spb MS skinning and didn't really try very hard, so I guess I've got myself to blame.
@ maedox -It's not a bug, just that most WM phones come with a screen resolution of that size, which is why SPB was made in that way to fit the screen size of those phones, however the X1 has a much larger (longer height wise) resolution, which is why the background ends up being half way across the screen :S. I noticed if you set the calender to show one week it makes it look ok because the calendar fits right in that black space. But unfortunately [through hours of testing] i realized that changing the resolution ends up with a black screen.
@ Quadword - sorry but i thought that the tabs were in black and white aswell, ignore that question - [ BTW i pm'ed you, might need some help ]

PLEASE READ
WM 6.5.x & WM 6.5 ONLY
WVGA ONLY. This theme WILL NOT WORK on a VGA device.
Use a light colored background with this theme.
I have been a big fan of WeatherPanel for years but once I started using HTC’s Sense / Manilla / TouchFlo today screen plugins I gave up on WeatherPanel as Sense can be the only today plugin running. SecondToday has overcome that problem and now I can run both.
The DDT Ultimate V2 theme brought a much need update to WeatherPanel and inspired me to put the theme together to match the 6.5.3 Sense 2.5 GTX NRG ROM I have been running. Thanks to Dunc001 for sharing his WeatherPanel knowledge.
Dafunk60s_GTX_v1.0.0_ICON_SET is a stripped down and tweaked version of the DDT Mod Diamond WVGA Static Icons, which are based upon Rumballs VGA Icon Set. If you like the icon set consider a donation to the DDT Team or Rumball.
1. Download & Installation
1. Download & Installation
In my experience WeatherPanel runs much faster when installed to the device not the storage card. My experience involves a 528mhz Rhodium (TP2) so your results may be different.

- Download SecondToday-0.4.3.CAB
- Copy to your phone
- Run
1.2 Install WeatherPanel 2010 > Forum & Download
- Download WeatherPanel_2010.CAB
- Copy to your phone
- Run
1.3 Install GTX DDT Ultimate V2 > Download

- Extract the files.
1.3.1 If you installed WeatherPanel to your storage card:
- Copy the folder Dafunk60s_GTX_v1.0.0_ICON_SET to “\Storage Card\Program Files\MarsWare\WeatherPanel\Icons”
- Copy the extracted folder Dafunk60s_GTX_v1.0.0_THEME to “\Storage Card\Program Files\MarsWare\WeatherPanel\Themes”
1.3.2 If you installed WeatherPanel to your device memory:
- Copy the folder Dafunk60s_GTX_v1.0.0_ICON_SET to “\Program Files\MarsWare\WeatherPanel\Icons”
- Copy the extracted folder Dafunk60s_GTX_v1.0.0_THEME to “\Program Files\MarsWare\WeatherPanel\Themes”

3 F.A.Q.
3 F.A.Q.
3.1 How do I open WeatherPanel?
3.1.a Click the SecondToday shortcut in your start menu or from your favorite program launcher.
3.2 Weather data is not updating automatically, what should I check?
3.2.a Don’t close SecondToday, just minimize it. SecondToday must be running for WeatherPanel automatic updates to work.
3.2.b Check the Connections page of the WeatherPanel settings. (Access the weather panel setting by touching the “City Bar” at the top of most screens.)
3.3 There is a blank area at the bottom of the screen where my soft keys should be!
3.3.a You must NOT check "Disable Command Bar" in the SecondToday screen settings. See post 2 for the proper configuration.
3.4 Will this theme work with the All in One installer from DDT?
3.4.a It should. I have used this theme with the modified WeatherPanel & SecondToday installer.
3.5 Weather Panel is slow.
3.5.a In my experience things run much quicker when WeatherPanel, the theme, & the icon set are installed to device memory. This will use almost 14mb of memory. More if you use other themes & icon sets as they will need to be installed to the device as well.
4. Issues
4. Issues
4.1 The Time Display option in the Weather Panel Settings has no effect. I have no intention of fixing this.
4.2 Users who dual boot WM & Android may find that android deletes the Dafunk60s GTX 6.5.X SK.wpl file. To fix copy the file back to “\Program Files\MarsWare\WeatherPanel\Themes\Dafunk60s_GTX_v1.0.0_THEME”
4.3 The DDT Ultimate V2 thread may also contain some valuable troubleshooting tips.

It will run fine on a TILT2, edit: - if you use a wm6.5.x rom (windows button at the bottom of the screen). I think the stock ATT rom is 6.5, not 6.5.X
It might work on a 6.5 rom so if you try it let me know how it goes.
Awesome!!!!
I am a big fan too! Thanks for your work!

Let me know how it works for you and what rom you are using (6.5 start button at the top or 6.5.x start button at the bottom).
I originally made this for my own use but if there is interest I can make a 6.5 version as well as a couple of variants for non GTX users.
Very beatifull theme. Please create WinMo 6.5 version, thx
This would work on Sense 2.5? I have a Tilt2 on Energy GTX themed Rom (6.5.x)

Yes it will work fine (That was the same Device / ROM I was using when I created the theme) , but be aware this is not a Sense tab.
If you want to launch it from the weather clock in Sense
You can use Cookies Home Tab (included in your ROM) to assign SecondToday to the weather application in Sense.
Thanks for the beautiful theme, Dafunk. It works great on my TP2 WinMo 6.5 stock rom.
Thanks, work great om my Topaz with ROM Energy_TOPAZ_28244_Sense2.5_ITA_Cookie.2.0_GTX

The attached image is the screen shot from my TP2, dafunk60. If you exam closely to the bottom of the attached image, you'll see the theme does not cover the screen entirely. I thnk that's what s-droid meant ... No complaint from me. It's still a great weatherpanel theme for me.
