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??

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.

Yes, Wisbar today themes are very nice, but Wisbar too big memory eater (same as spb programs) ... If my device would contain 128MB RAM, this is wouldn't problem for me, but I have only 64MB RAM and after a hard reset only 28MB the free. That's why I prefer Batterystatus, rlToday, Ultimatelaunch, Phonealarm etc programs..

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.

If you want Diamond Look on your VGA device just use Throttle Launcher with TouchFlo3D theme.

MANILA 2D "How-Too-From-Scrach" tutorial request... and a bloody LIVERPOOL theme!
Greetings, lads.
This is probably, possibly, definitely the best forum for mobile apps/hack etc!
I own an OMNIA since one month (I DIDN'T checked out to see... OMNIA II is on the way - and it's a bloody awesome phone, the best!), I'm "playing" a lot, I'm "wearing" a "Sector Zeus" Rom (Sector is the very best "cooker" to me) and I've changed almost EVERY POSSIBLE UI there is in the planet, to find out what I like more!
Many UIs are simply... "disaster", some o' them are quite good, few are really great... but I think (these lucky HTC bastards!) Manila 2D with TouchFlo is the BEST, the SIMPLIEST, the MOST FINGER-FRIENDLY of all!
So... I'm using M2D along with "Zeus BlackLite"...
Now... I want to find a GOOD, step-by-step tutorial of HOW TO MAKE MY OWN themes for M2D!
I'm capable to make good looking graphics (check my web-site: http://www.lupus-creations.gr - press the ENGLISH version! The other is... "all Greek to u"!), but I don't have a single clue of how to make a M2D theme or to make it in .CAB VERSION!
Can you give me your "lights"?
Also, finally, I've search the web to find out a decent LIVERPOOL FC theme, to install it first in my OMNIA, till I make my OWN Liverpool FC theme.
Is there any?
Thxs in advance for any kind answer of yours.
Regards,
R.
Best way to start mate is to take another theme unpack it then start replacing the graphics files with your own some of the Manila themes come Packaged in .m2dct (manila.m2dct) change the m2dct to .zip (Manila.zip) some come in cab files you can download freeware ce cab file software google it
Like your graphics and look forward to seeing your themes
Nice example here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424479
Got it...
I'm on it... Thxs, m8. And for your kind words, too.
I posted a cab with an xml tat makes less files to edit. it should be in the mega manila thread. Unpak the ab with wince cab manager or better yet ervius package creator.
in te initflashfiles ou will notice tat onl half of the files get dumped in windows. (lower file count in windows folder = better performance) I also got rid of 28 files that repeat them selves through out the tabs. also I changed most of the bitmaps to PNG'S (MUCH Better) some files still have to be bitmaps like the ones in the photo tab.
so it is less work and I tink that it should be a great starting point for you.
I personally like to make "performance" themes for manila. that is to say hemes made for low end devices like the wizard which has limited space ram and processor. so I usually save most of my files in 8bit 16 colors.
the challenge for me is to make it look good and work fast... currently working on a "ducati" theme. should live up to it's name.
I was actuall thinking about writing a tutorial recently concerning making lighter skins. reaon I started to make my own is that on some occasions I would istall some one elses on my wizard (when i still had it) and would get terribly dissapointed at he performance drop.
I think that will be my next project.
EDIT: found the page fot you.

BLOODY MARVELOUS, dear "S.V.I"!!!
Thxs a lot!
Another Q.
I've start workin' in a M2D skin o' mine...
I can't understand - first - HOW can I enable the ANALOG clock instead of the digital and... HOW - second - a skinner is managing to PLACE the analog clock NOT in the middle but in the upper-left corner! I've seen some skins, with the analog NOT IN THE MIDDLE! I want the same thing for my background pic, 'cause I have my "theme" in the middle and right... and I've left "empty" (more-or-less) the upper-left, for the clock...
Can you please gimme your "lights"?
Thxs.
P.S.: Generally, .png are TOTALY suitable for interfaces, instead .bmp - .bmp are HUGE kb's images and therefore, the skin will be "hard" for less-powerful devices.
enabling the analogue clock i a rgistry setting in hlkm.software.htc.manila.home. set the reg to 0.
there is a value in the home xml tat movs the center position of the clock. the number digits have to be moved also. the values for that are top left corner of the image file. it helps to draw a huge cursor layer to help you figure out the poitioning.
sorry for the spelling. my keyboard is misbehaving. mut be dirt under the keys.
as soon a I have some free time (hopefully this weekend) I will write this tutorial thing.
I have finally got the latest manila "fixed" with analogue clock as well as digital
did ou know that the botom bar (slider) can be only 1pxl wide?
Well, m8... you gotta write down this bloody tutorial for M2D!
I can't wait!
I hope you write it in this weekend... I'll be around, every day!
Cheers and thxs!
Hi all ,
I started to create a Theme pack called "Diamond AtmosFear" for the HTC Diamons I with Sense 2.5( I use actually the Don Salari Super Light ROM with Sense 2.5) and my theme Rocks on it .
But I think on other roms it might also work ^^
For the moment, I just succeed in creating:
=> The Slider Icons
=> The Manila Locker skin
=> The Clock Skin (Thanks to Gerger and the Black HD Team to allowed me using their clock font )
NOW AVAILABLE AS CAB FILES ! ! !
Hope you will like it...
Here are some Screenshots:
The Slider Icons:
The Manila Locker Screen + Clock Skin:
Download link Slider Icons: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DGI04V6A. (v.1.1: photo tab icon correction)
Download link Locker Screen: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UK1OU9OI. (v.1.1: now with customized icons)
Download link Clock Skin: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0BLYX7YO. (v.1.0)
Instructions:
1) Switch off the Sense 2.5
3) Install the CAB(s) file(s) ON THE PHONE MEMORY (not on the 4Go Memory)
4) Switch on the Sense
5) Enjoy it
For uninstalling it's the same
Tested and fully working
Thanks in advance for your feedbacks, please feel free to explain me what do you think about it.
P.S: Thanks to Vinsos for his advices
Nice looking theme - and good to know that there are still designers for the "old" Diamond. Keep on!
Hi,
Thanks for your feedback, have you tested it?
I must say it's my first theme ^^
I've just released the Manila Locker skin, hope you will like it too.
And don't worry, Diamond will never die, it's just one of the best phone ever released and there is a great community behind it to let it live forever ! ! !
See ya'
Hi!
Just to inform you that the Diamond AtmosFear's Clock Skin has just been released

I'm regularly workimg on it, here is just the begining but I'm going to create a complete theme fullysuitable for your rom that rocks
Please give me some feedbacks about it
thx for your theme, beautiful !!!
but I don't have the black lines (up and down of the screen).
Where can I have this like you ?
Mmmmh, well I didn't change these bars so I think it's the Don Salari's one.
I will find out the correct files and will send you these as soon as possible.
Thanks for your feedback anyway
It's good to hear that and I hope you will like the next evolutions of this theme too
By the way, I 've just uploaded the CAB Files, which is much better to install and then uninstall.
Feel free to try it
See ya'
@Tom62: Sorry to take so much time, mate, but I had some PC problem while formating and now the Photoshop installation doesn't want to work
I will fix it and send you the files asap, please be patient
As soon as all will be ok on my pc, I will also work on the theme to improve it, and add some features.
I am very glad to see thatyou guys are interested by my theme ( more downloads that I would thaught ^^)
Please give me some feedback about it, to help me improving this theme
Thanks in advance,
Sorry guys to take such time to enhance this theme,
Hard to find free time, unfortunatly
But I'll make all I can to add some features to this theme soon (I think changing first the Home screen first, and then the other tabs with the same Diamond AtmosFear's spirit)
Also many thanks for all of you who have tried it: around 100 downloads for each part of the theme is much better than I.ve expected
Please just give me some feedback about it, or any ideas to improve it
See ya'
