Are there any skins or themes available for the mobile shell? i dont like default silver one but the handling is so good... if anyone know, pleas let me know, too ^^
regards
i'd like to know this too thanks
I´m not sure wether you are talking about the Spb panel or the full software, but anyway here you have some nice themes for the full application.

And for the PANEL??? There's any possibility that we can skin it???
I checked it out. It seems possible. Just overwrite/change the theme files in the SPB panel folder.
Here's an howto for creating themes:

I was going to do it myself, but the amount of images to replace was a little overwhelming.
EDIT: tried changing a couple of icons, works fine. Might take a shot at creating a skin the coming days.

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.

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?

I cant seem to locate the network browser on the trial download. What can it do? Anyone got any first hand experience?
I've tryed to find an answer, but w/out luck.
I'd like to have Spb Diary instead of the "original" calendar into SPB Mobile Shell, like in this pic (edited by me).
btw, thx to kulet78 for the awesome "Blue Ray" skin!
thx in advance!!!!!!!
I think they could add today plugin support into the shell, bud it would vastly slow down the whole thing, so they didn't. I understand them. I would like if the calendar in the shel was a little bit sophisticated though, then it would be ready to completely replace my today.

i love this theme too...since addin diary'd slow things down..i was hopin for a few improvements
1. there is empty space for atleast 2 rows in calender at its bottom...wish this dead space could b utilized by calender rows
2.i need battery signels and tome over the top in all of the shell screens just like the "pointui"theme
hope spb guys give integrated diary like functionality to shell
thanks
do reply regardin these requests
also ms 2.1 supports data icon ,was hopin if that can b added aswell
thanks
yup...as a matter of fact, i've been thinking about it for quite a while now. y can't we add a SPB Diary widget that displays tasks only? that'll be great!
I see this is a really old thread, but it poses the exact same question I've been trying to figure out for a while now....thought maybe someone has come up with a solution, or work-around in all the time that's passed.
this has been going forever even on spb own forum, they don't seem to be willing to integrate diary into the shell.
Hey everyone, i created this thread for mobile shell themes that will work on the 800w. just recently i myself started working on Helu wm7 theme that will work on the treo 800w. below i have posted a picture of what i have gotten so far. granted its all messed up still but its a start. i will keep you all posted to how it goes. in the meantime if anyone else has modded a theme for the 800w, please post! thanks, Ervin
Good Start
As a test (if you want to do so) I´m attaching modified WM7 HELU files (Separator.bmp, Separator1.bmp and Separator2.bmp and its respective mask files) from 240 to 320 width. It will look wierd, but it will fill your screen.
Replace your existent files in ms_bkg_now,.dat with this, don´t forget to rencrypt before changing back to .dat

This means that Launcher.xml, SpeedDial.xml, Contacts.xml, Weather.xml need some work as far the background, try to follow the HELU original scripts.
a diamond theme like the one already floating around would be awesome

the 360x360 diamond theme works on the 800w if you run realvga at 96dpi.
All the mobile shell 2.1 themes that were made for the samsung i780 at 360x360 work as well.
it would probably be easier to start from those?
i've seen a few themes scattered throughout the forum. maybe we could consolidate in this thread?
Treo 800w SPb mobile shell themes.
Thanks for all the work guys. I was a big fan of the spb mobile shell theme on the 700wx. It worked very well with the 700wx. I tried the spbmobile shell, realVGA, 96dpi and it worked well and appeared about the same. However on the 800w after a few minutes I would have gliches where certain app buttons would not work or I would not be able to simply hit OK and get back to the WM6.1 stock today screen on the 800. It would be very usefull to try and get all the scatered posts on here. Additionaly it would be great if we could get our own treo 800w forum here.
Treo 800w SPB mobile shell Themes
Any head way. The Diamond theme worked well on the surface but I had a few glitches. For example I would not be able to hold the OK button and go back to the WM today screen after a few minutes or a soft reset or once the phone shut off. Also after a few minutes or the phone shutting off I would not be able to access most applications through the menue of SPB mobile shell Diamond theme. So I went back to using the WM stock theme. I like the spb mobile shell/Diamond theme better.
For those who are using Treo 800w, what resolution does it comes with? I know it is 320x320 but would like to know what dpi it is, 96dpi or 128dpi?
Any help would be appreciated.
Sorry to post on an old thread. Is there a link that I can download the 320x320 diamond theme for the treo 800w. I have been trying a lot of them and none of them seem to work like advertised.
hey everyone, i have a quick ? I know the iphone theme has been beat to death already, and i will probably get some sh*t for asking. I have the SPRINT diamond with both the SPB mobile shell (latest version) and the TF3D config tool from XDA. Now, my question is, well, is their an IPHONE theme can i can put onto either program that would be more than just a wallpaper. Im looking for something like TORX's has but since the DIAMOND is VGA his bada** theme wont work for the diamond just yet. Any help is always appreciated
I just made an Icon theme here, I don't if it's what you are looking for but this thread by NisseDILLIGAF is bound to get you where you need to be. If you decide to try mine tell how you like it, cheers
Hello again,
I've got a lot requests about the Icons I use on my System because of my "Real VGA WMP Manila Skin" Thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3044289&postcount=25
So, I've modded nearly my complete System with custom made icons. I used ResHacked and siggner to apply the icons to the exe's and System Files. You can search the forum if you don't know how to do that.
I searched for a cooker who wants to work with me to bring out a ROM with a complete redone Iconset, but it looks like no ones want to do this with me.
So I decided to release my Icon "Standalone".
Since I don't know if it would be OK (because of Copyrights or things like that) to post here the complete modded Programs with the costom exes you have to integrate the icons by yourself.
If you would like an Icon for a special Program just post it here and I try to do one for you.
Thats enough for now...
Have fun... fRED
Here again some Screens
Some more...
Can you make these icons for the settings too , very nice!
Funny that you're asking. I just do these types of icons for Setting, so yes, I can do *g*
But you have to be patient for some days.
fRED
I think this is really amazing, do you have some installation instructions for the not so clever like myself to install?
Also, do you have or could you make icons for TomTom for MSN Messenger... Please?
This is fantastic! Keep up the good work!
Sean
I've made your requested icon for MSN/TomTom + Mobiler, because I use mobiler quite often now *g*
Update in first Post
fRED
Wow just beautiful! i really like these icons...
Thanks a lot!
How to install? Just copy to /windows?
No, it's not that easy! Look at my first post. You have to use ResHacker to apply the icons to each .exe.
I don't want to post the exe's directly cause there could be copyright problems. Also there would be problems with different languages and Version Numbers of the files/exes.
The dll's which are integrated in the pack are also German one's. If you want to apply them to an english version just extract the modded icons.
At the moment I don't want to explain how you use ResHacker to exchange icons. It's not that difficult. Just Google or search here in the forum.
Maybe anyone other wants to explain it here, than I add it to the first post.
regards,
fRED
ok thanks man i will try it
is it possible to use on Touch HD?
Of course, you have to replace the icons directly in the exes. So this works everywhere.
fRED
Thank you so much for doing that for me, your a credit to the forum matey. Keep up the good work, ill be keepin an eye on your future projects and this one, dont stop, create!
Sean Saunders
I really love those Icons.
Could you release them in .png format so they would be compatible with D-Mans Idiamond programme launcher?
Hi !
Nice work, but can you make a .cab for lazzy guys like me ?
Would be great !
Thanks
Great work, really great work at all! I'll use these icons in my own ROM now!
really great work!! thanks for the fantastic icons!
but there are just two things:
1) could you make the corners a little bit more round? they look a bit squared actually.
2) could you provide png files instead of ico, please?
Hi BlockbusterF!
First of all, I like your Iphone icons! I tried to cook a rom, and replace the original icons by your iphone style icons. If you interested in a ROM with your icons, we should make a cooperation. I make the rom, and you make the icons that we need for a fully iphone icon style rom.
I will use the new HTC 2.00 base rom for basic. First I need learn to cook a rom (now it's on ). I will get off some HTC application and put my own (maybe make some registry tweak too), and then make the iphone style.
If you interested in the idea, contact me!
PLEase say yes.....

i guess its my dream come true. i have been looking for such a ROM since the time iphone came in existance. it will be like best of both worlds.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374571may be here you can get some idea, ( but for diamond i would really vouch for iDiamond project of Dman666, as it involves the manila files direstly.
Blockbuster, great work! I've actually gone through all the work to import them into my files and they look amazing. It's quite a lengthy process, took me nearly 2 hours to get 'em all done. On top of that I was having some difficulties with a few icons (namely the RSS Hub icon and tasks) but I've got it worked out.
I thought I'd make a contribution to the project, I've made an icon for the app Diamond SensorScroll in the style of yours. See attached zip.
