i'm trying to find a whole suite that's full black or blackish for all possible skinnable apps,especially the comm manager which is hard to find since some say it's black but it's really not. even better if someone can find/create such a suite that's a bloody red color or meshed in with black
any takers?

Extract it from that! And search

But before you post here, try looking for an exisiting skin.

paul ill gladly do your homework for you if you make a minial flow theme for manilla 2d
[off topic] are you sure, i've just been ill for 2½-3 weeks so you will have a lot to do [/off topic]
But about a manilla 2d version, yes I was planning on making one. But as I mentioned I just don't have any time ATM. Currently making a manilla dialer skin.
both of those posted links look great
the vista start menu icon and the booting screens were a great touch
the wad 2 theme is very very vista pcish
One I created a while back on a website (I forget which)
how about just a black commmgr? I've seen others but they were just grey,too large in size for a kaiser or were just made specifically for a certain device

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...

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?

I cant seem to locate the network browser on the trial download. What can it do? Anyone got any first hand experience?
It was the year 2006 that Meizu announced their M8 (or MiniOne). Its a iPhone clone with some extra functionalities. Now, after a false rumor of showing is at the CES 2008, it will be shown at the CeBIT (March 4-9, Hannover, Germany) instead. Can't wait, because:
The UI is cloned too, which is running on WM 6. If I get this right it can be ripped (and maybe translated to English) to be used on the HTC's and others.
I hope it isn't better than the iPhone like products of A_C and others... ;-)

Well, just a glance at the site the are firmwares released, but I didn't bother downloading the firmwares. However, where did you see where it mentions its running Windows. And I can't find any specs. If it is Windows, we can extract the files but I don't think it is.
Ok, I found the specs, supposed Windows CE, but I really don't feel like looking around that forum, site is horribly slow. I did see a mention of firmware, see if you get a link.
"Operating System: Windows CE for Meizu M8 (Based on Windows CE 6.0)"
Source: http://en.meizu.com/userforum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1676
This American Trader claims he has the M8 the 3rd of March, which is probably a false and customer attracting trick: http://www.negrielectronics.com/meizu-minione-16gb-p-228.html?currency=USD
As far as I know, current versions of Windows Mobile are based on Windows CE 5.0, not 6.0.
Doesn't look good for getting this going on any other current handsets.
i would kill for a UI like that.. and if it was achievable w/o wisbar, i would be even happier
ps - already took a stab at it.. very unsuccessful
It is running on CE6 as i know not WM6 there is a big diference in these OS-es
okay, so we don't have to rip it to achieve a look like that..
can't someone make a theme from scratch?

that's WM7, or Photon.
I guess that M8 will be release in 2009 (or 2010?)
My today screen looks similar to this:
umm on the bottom that looks like the LG menu but what esle do u got running there? and ifs its a custom skin mind sharing cuz it really looks cool
the top bar is ultimatelaunch and i have 3 tabs as you can see, apps/main/weather. for the apps i have iphone like icons, the main tab is the s2u2 lookalike clock which i made with rltoday, the weather tab is my htc home plugin. the clear icons on the bottom to show missed call/voicemail/sms/email are made from a batterystatus theme, and yes the bottom is the lg menu. It also rotates between tabs with "cube" animation and rivals pointui in smoothness. I highly reccomend it, ultimatelaunch that is, its not free though
@spencepu3 Im sorry man im kinda dense would u mind posting a walk thru on how u made that theme and the files needed ??
and yeah i heard about ultimate launcher but i do know that your able to use it free but with limited nagging
yea ill post it in a few hours i gotta go out to eat with the girlfriend for valentines day haha
Thx man have fun on the date
For the top labels im using ultimatelaunch, you can google it and download it. In the "main" label I have a today plugin for rltoday. I can post the skin.xml i made to make it look like s2u2/iphone like. There are very many themes to rltoday though. The weather tab has my htchome today plugin in it. the today plugins can be put in new tabs when you make them in ultimatelaunch. Then the 4 clear buttons on the bottom are my batterystatus today plugin with a different skin. The one i have doesnt actually even showthe battery status but it shows missed calls/sms/email/voicemail . I can post the skin file for this as well. battery status can be downloaded from the owners website just google it. and the lgtoday plugin is .cab file on this forum.
i got rltoday and batterystatus and ultimatelaunch but i need the skin.xml u used
and especially i would like the theme ur using for batterystatus i have been using it for a long time but never found a skin as nice as that one
alright here are the xml files. just unzip both and put in their appropriate folders. the rltoday (s2u2) skin should look how its shown but for the battery status skin you have to uncheck some indicators from the options to have just the one row of buttons like i do.
looks really nice...
but, can't find this lg plugin you have at bottom. pls can you point me to right thread?

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

jopiej-
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.
Galaxy Square 240X240 (Qvga)

Hopes you all like it.
Cheers.
Notes : please select professionals screen for now screen.
More great work jopiej. Getting close to one theme for each day of the week!
@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.
I've just done some changes to a psShutXP skin i was using, not sure whether it was Zippy1970's or someone else on this forum, but thanks for the good work with the original skin whoever it was
though i'd share so here it is...
just unzip into program files\psshutxp on your device
This is very cool i was getting tired of the skins that were floating around.
This one is looking very nice.
Thank you very much for your work.
Looking good!
yeah.. its nice.. thx for sharing
I have a touch pro, so I didn't like the touch diamond text so I removed it. Here it is if anyone else wanted it
Think you could point us to the original skin though?
If I could find the original skin i'd post the link, formated my pc since and can't find the original.....sorry!
I'm looking to create my own Today theme, same as I did for my Kaiser, but it's simply not working.. I'm using ThemeGenCE 2.6 from here: http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=1523
Problem is when I create it, it looks fine in ThemeGenCE but when I load it I just get a very generic looking Today screen with a green/blue fade looking background and blue top/bottom bars, Start Menu (QuickMenu) is a white background.
I've been using the "Classic Blue" theme which is okay, but wanted to change the background, it all looks fine when I use it. So I copied that to my computer, loaded it into ThemeGenCE, only changed the images, saved it back, still the same generic looking theme.
Anyone know how to create traditional Today themes for 6.5? Note again! I want to create a Today theme, not a Manilla/TF3D/etc theme! I don't use TF3D, I use Pocket Plus.
Attaching an example of what the theme looks like when I try to load it..
Search my friend. It has been discussed in this forum a lot of time before. 6.5 themes are based on reg. So you need to have those reg in your theme.
Best way is to take classic blue, rename it to cab, then extract reg. Use that in your new theme.
Search and you will find more info. If not hollar, i will give more detailed explanation later.

Huh. And here, all this time I've been using OCP's CAB Extracter to modify the default blue theme to include my own backgrounds... I guess that's called the 'hard way' now.
Okay, maybe I'm confused, because everywere I look are MANILLA themes, not today themes.
I'll look into checking out the theme I'm using as a cab and messing with it, but the rest are all Manilla themes, right? Am I wrong there? For example the Microsoft generator is not for the Today theme right?
Maybe I'm just confused, but I'm pretty sure those references are mainly for Manilla.

The Microsoft generator is for TSK today themes. Manila is made by HTC and therefore, Microsoft doesn't do anything with it.

The only problem with that generator is that it doesn't quite work correctly with 6.5.1 ROMs. Using a CAB editor is still the way to go with 6.5.1.

True that. Personally, I have never used their generator. I just took the Classic Blue and made it into my own.

BTW I tried this thing 4 times last night, it never works. It never seems to create the file and eventually fails and says to restart the browser and try again.. Typical.
Okay I guess I'm an idiot, how do I edit a cab file? I've installed a trial of WinCE CAB Manager and I see the files, but no idea how to extract or replace the files in it.
I just want to replace my two jpg's with the one in the cab, yes? Perhaps some other tool would be better.
EDIT: Duh, drag and drop, uh, a few times, fiddle, drag and drop again... Success!
If anyone wants it, here's my theme, thanks for the help guys! Added the image used to create it as a preview, I could take a screenshot if someone wants.
