Hi all, I have a theme question

I've done a search of this forum & wiki, and the web, but I can't figure out where to get the themes that you guys have in the screenshots thread.
You all seem to take it as normal but I've no idea how to get started!
BTW, I have OzVGA on my Exec, is that going to be an issue?
If it's possible to convert them, I'd really like my PC's current theme!
(Clicky for big)
P.S. Is there a VGA Windows Media Player theme that gets rid of the nasty black bar at the base of the screen?

I am using Wisbar Advance as are quite a few others. The themes you need a are all over the internet, just google "wisbar theme" and you'll see what I mean.
For true VGA you will generally need to use QVGA themes, sounds daft but trust me.......
Here I'm using a vista theme for WA2 and WMP with the Expea2 extended theme for SPB Pocket Plus off the SBSH forum.
By the way, what XP theme are you using??

Hi Pug ,
where can i download the theme ...that u have attached in the previous reply. its really nice
plz give me the link to download
Many thanks,
Gopi

There is a problem with the WMP skin not keeping it's selection so the patched files are attached here.
Remember if you are using a "normal" display you need the VGA themes, if you are using TrueVGA you will need the qVGA with maybe the WMP VGA skins etc... Confusing but I didn't make the rules.

It's called Allion2 (it's on the dialog box in the screenshot!) There are a few different colour versions, "System" is the nice blue one.

Cube, Ifonz, PocketCM skins for VGA

Hi in this thread I am really hoping that programers will
make this interface also for VGA devices..All this time I always
envy QVGA devices, because most programers only think about them..
We as VGA user can not enjoy the great interface program like that..
So please programer or skin makers..release for VGA devices also =)
So far I only found out pointui has make VGA version also
Come on all VGA users let us support programers to create
skin programs for VGA also in this thread =D

No response
VGA user feels okay?? without this cool interface program??

touchflo and itask allready support vga! the cube doesn't so I use mortbuttons, not so stylish but skin support and works good! also I think the new 3d cube is much slower than the old one.. I want the 0.4 cube with vga

you should add my htc home or my audiomanager

Your HTC Home, yes of Course, but your Audio Manager is just for the Audio-Manager and not a Theme for the WM-shell But good work anyway!!

Throttlelauncher!!!!
You forgot the best one out there!!

Hey thx, maybe its better than the MobileShell one
I'll test it now..

All these themes are great... Thanks for posting....

Well the first one is just a S2U2 Theme and not a WM-Makeover!
The Second one, yes, i'll update
The third one is the MobileShell one i've already posted!

It is more better to post whether the themes work for what type of device..because its really a problem for VGA users if after they installed it, they found out its for QVGA

The third one I specify to try the 3D not Mobile Shell one. There are two different links to two different themes. Try the 3D Diamond one by AM1759.

VGA apps being in small number as opposed to to QVGA are always labelled.
so:
if labelled VGA... it's VGA or has VGA support.
if not labelled... no VGA or "at your own risk" VGA support.
That's my view, of course some posters might forget about it
About the diamond 3D... I've always seen it as a variant to greatbal's. It's another SPB mobile shell theme...
UI is the same as greatbal's, just glossy... Very good notheless!!
Besides, on the same post as greatbal's and 3D you have a white diamond theme and dozens other variants.
The white/blue theme is also available on throttlelauncher.

Huh?! I see two Themes, but it seems, theyre both for MobileShell!
What do you think for which Program this Skin is?!
greetz
infernalshade
PS: Sadly i cannot try which Programs have VGA-Support and which not...To test it, i must have a VGA-Device, but i haven't one!
And i don't think anyone would Donate for this little Thing...I mean, the easiest way to see for what Device is:
-Make a Backup with SPB Backup
-Install the App and see!
-If you don't like the Theme or it's not working, Restore the Backup...

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 ???

It's not really a VGA theme but a blown up QVGA. But I made a VGA version of the diamond touch clock which is used in the "layout_C_3_contacts_vga" theme.

HTC Home/Diamond VGA menu icons

if anyone has VGA htc menu icons (in .PSD or .PNG) please upload it or send link to them... It will be very helpful, because I'd like to create such skin for iContact ;(

Hey grzenio,
plz check my VGA diamond skin (link in my sig) and let me know which icons u require. I recreated many hile preparing the skin and can help u maybe

I installed your theme few days ago. And it is great, superb, awesome etc etc But I had to remove it because SPB mobile shell requires to much memory with VGA themes. I have Glofiish x650 with 64MB and after few minutes of enjoying your great theme I had only 9,5 free mb of memory (Solution to my problem is simple, I have to bay phone with 128MB (or more) of memory ).
I'va uploaded default_skin from iContact. I'm looking for icons which corresponds to these in that picture. Thanks for help!
