Diamond theme
Hi,
first of all: great work!!
i've got an HTC Touch Cruise with the SPB MS2.1 and your diamond theme layout F with the colored menu buttons.
Now screen:
- the cellphone provider's name doen't come centered in the middle of the top line and writes over network cover symbole and battery indicator.patch please.
-with layout F, profile icon moves from top bar to bottom right just above screen icons but internet connetion icon in top bar is not available (very usefull)
-new profile icon is difficult to hit.touch area too small.
-is it possible to have the upcoming appointments from the agenda on the now screen? it would be cool to have all the general information in just one click and one view.
Other screen:
-the forum explaination how to add the 9' menu button is hard to understand for me as i am not an expert at all.please make a patch or plugin to download.
-very important:customizing the menus,it does not allow to add the adjustment blacklight icon to the menu (does not come on the list?)?? In the SPB MS2.1,this came on the second page top left, very practical!
Thank you very much for trying to make live a lot easier!!!

Not sure
Hey man, sorry but I dont know much about spb. But I am downloading what your using as we speak, and going to see wat I can do. I'm pretty sure someone else will beat me to the answer though, but if not, Ill try. And thanks for using this thread. It makes searching alot easier. I wish everyone was as enthusiastic about stopping unnessicary threads. Most complain about it, but wont help when somehting like this is created. But I will keep check on this, and will PM you personally as soon as an asnwer is posted. Thanks.

Changing wallpaper problem
Hello,
I've got an Artemis (P3300) and whenever i try and change the wallpaper nothing happens.
I view the picture and click "Set as today wallpaper" and choose 0%, then click ok. After this nothing happens - the wait symbol is supposed to come up while the wallpaper is changing but this doesn't happen. Then, when i check the today screen its the same as before.
I've also tried changing the wallpaper from the today settings menu, and this works but the opacity is 65%. Is there any way to change the opacity setting (to 0%) using this method?
BTW, this problem occurs with all roms i flash.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

SPB Mobile Skin (from Greatbal) HTC Touch Need Help

Hello everybody.
I want to make a skin by my own and tried to change the "perfect" skin from greatbal!
I want to change the icons on the front menu of SPB Mobile Shell 2.1.2!
I want to take bigger icons. Now my question. How can i realize it.
Where i can find these icons and is it possible the make the background of the icons visible?
Many Thx for helping!
Shawn

for you the same like for any other beginner, WHY DO YOU OPEN A THREAD and don´t ask Greatball or post it in the Mobileshell thread or read there how to make a Skin ?
Unbelievable: I have a question, i open a thread

Ok sorry i didnt know that is possible to write directly a PN!
I thought the problem must be posted in the board so that everybody could learn.

Maybe because his thread has received four/five replies already (even if they are all utterly useless). I always post in the existing threads and rarely ever receive replies and there should be no reason why people can't create threads here.. Forums simply work like that.. Cluttered maybe, but there is no help board on these forums so don't blame members who ask for help in new threads.
The amount of time I've seen people complain about making new threads or asking questions makes me think.. If only instead of complaining and flaming you would actually help them then maybe the users wouldn't need so much help.
Sorry OP for side tracking your thread.
here are some threads you can read on customising SPB Mobile Shell

You have to edit the qa_status.dat, define your graphics: main image and the corresponding mask (which gives transparency effect). Try editing my qa_status.dat file and see corresponding result as a practice.
good luck.

Problem is that there are some many new users that are too lazy to search or to read a thread, there are so many threads about how to customize MS and they dont even know what a PM is. Sorry, I can´t and will never understand such people and its really not helpfull for us all on such a big side if every user makes it this way.

@greatbal
Thanks for helping but i still know the Files which i have to prepare to take my wished effect.
But thanks that u take a look at my question and did not make such a trouble if someone needs help.
I cant understand that it is so terrible posting a question if other threads are so big and not compact that it is hard for a newbie to find a special thing.
But its Ok. In future i will try to contact Greatbal with PN and you will see other Newbie will have the same problem and they will also open threads.

Taskbar (where the start button is) is blue.. how can i change this???

The taskbar is stuck in the default blue.. in youtube videos, ive seen it black?
i would like it to look like this!!!
i only got the phone today, so im a bit of a newbie.
i was just wondering if anyone knows how to change this? so they could help me if possible!!
also, my "today" panel, is the default o2 one, as the handset is o2.
i was wondering if i can change this as well, as the o2 bubbles are getting quite annoying!!!
Thanks For Your Help In Advance!!!!
Corey

This is against xda forum rules (have you read them!??!?!?!), especially because this question has been answered several times.
Admin please close this thread, thanks.

Transparent Bars (both top and bottom) in OS 5.2.21898??

I was wishing to make my top and bottom bars transparent, but I could not find any solutions to this for my current OS version (5.2.21898.5.0.91)...Could anyone help me or at least we could work together on it? I am currently a beginner/intermediate programmer and would be able to do something that required such...
Please help me out!...Thanks in advance...

Not trying to be rude but ... this thread was 4th or 5th from the top when you posted and is in the same forum you posted in .. WVGA & VGA!! BG4ALL + True trans task & menu-bars in Sense 2.5 ... BOTH ORIENTATIONS
This was the 3rd thread from the top RULES FOR DEVELOPMENT & HACKING -- (Must Read Before Posting)
And this was the announcement at the top of the page POLITE REMINDER OF D&H POSTING RULES - PLEASE READ - 10 APRIL 2010
Not to mention all the hits you get if you click search and type "transparent taskbar"

i can recommend using theme for 6.5 - just system way, not ham3rs method for that build.
21898 is 6.5 line and transparencies are available by using 6.5 tsk.
you will avoid potential problems that can emerge with ham3rs method(that was made for COOKS and for 6.1 mainly).

Thanks for all that, but I have to say - I did search for that! Honestly, and I found a few threads which methods did not help for me and I read peoples comments after which stated they had the same OS ver. as me and were having problems -also with no one helping them figure it out, so no solution..and thus I did not want to even try it on my phone...also another method I found mentioned several OS versions and did not include mine... also with people commenting as I have said.... so please do not think that I do not use the search function -believe me that is the function I use the most! Honestly!...
Now I know I did not check all that were available, but maybe a few must have slipped my eyes (I was on my phone at the time also switching back and forth between apps trying different things)...so please forgive me..

sorry if I sound like a noob...but what do you mean by '6.5 tsk'... and also what do you mean by 'using theme for 6.5 -just system way..."
do you mean using a theme for 6.5? sorry I just want to make things clear -also I drank some alcohol so maybe I may be a little slower than usual (haha) -I apologize in advance!

Could someone help me out here? This is the one thing I am currently stuck on, giving me more trouble than anything else so far...

thanks but no luck with those links, they are out dated and refer to older windows mobile os's ....
I thought this would be something simple to do , esp seeing all this wonderful development going on here, but now it seems as though either no one cares to make the bars transparent -or they are settling with creating the wallpaper to be cut to pieces (one for the top bar, one for the main screen and one piece for the bottom bar)...which is not making it transparent, but it has the effect..just when you switch wallpapers you have to do the whole process again...
please someone advise me, there has to be a solution out there somewhere... =\

[Q] HD2 coredroid Desire H1.6 nand

hi
I need help I don't know How can I change the writing direction for english to hebrew the writing should start on the right side not on the left
Best Regards
Gabi

Firstly, a question should be asked in the Q&A section, not the dev section. Secondly, a simple Google search would return something like this. Have you tried it?

i dont think he needs it for WM when he uses the same Android ROM as you

You ask a "question" in the development forum, even though we have a dedicated "questions" forum???
That makes sense

Good spot, didn't look at the detail, just saw a lot of strange characters going from right to left and mentioning HD2. Looking a little closer now I guess the Reg screen should have given it away LOL, but the point remains - Google is still his friend and a tip - RTL (Right to Left) is the key to search for.
