Hi just wanna share what I have just found.

Looks awesome on my device =)

friends you can find more at xda-developers site..but they have only one weakness..all their themes are mostly for QVGA

hmnm, i think because most phones are not vga yet..

Anybody interested to start a discussion on making our own theme? I've tried to change the background but only suceeded on changin 1 sscreen while the rest are still the default.

Read the instruction over at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378367 but don't find it useful.

Ya. I have tried to create a new theme for 400x240 screens for i900. I have changed most of the XML file but left only the background which I am still figuring out how to make it nicer!.

Anyway, it is good to share what needs to change and how to make it work in general.

Basically for QVGA devices, XDA website are really suitable for you to download. For the rest of the screens, some reprogramming needed to be done.

I'm looking for a mario theme. anyone???

From the instruction from XDA, you need to edit the Seperator.bmp, Separator_m.bmp, Separator2.bmp and Separator2_m.bmp to get different backdround for the theme.

But no matter what I do, the background only show up on 1 page. I believe I will need to edit Lockscreen.xml on the Separator tag but I dont really know which and what to edit. Could not find any resource the teaches on what to set either.

Looks like have to trial and error again and again.

So that means those themes created in xda-developers cant be used for i900.
I tried installing then the spb menu cant be accessed anymore.

Hi, I'm not too sure whether thiose theme work on i900 as I dont have a unit to test with. But I guess it should work. Just that the background picture may be stretch to the full screen on i900.

So far any Theme for SPB Shell similar to TouchFlo 3D on the Diamond?. Would love to try it on my iPAQ 6818.

Tried the TouchFlo one, not bad. Hope the 3D one will be out soon.

Me Too. In the end, I chooses a totally Black Background! I do not even bother about background! I just configured the other stuff that I want.

But it can be done! Just need to look at more examples to compare!

Actually not really true. The default one is suitable for i900 because all the XML files has defined 240x400 and 400x240 in them and that's why it works perfectly.
However, those themes in XDA are configured mainly for qvga only (240x320 and 320x240) and it will not work correctly when installed in i900. You need to extract out the relevant xml files to make the necessary changes to amend it to fit in i900.

This will involves a lot of comparison between the default xml files and the customised xml files. You need to understand it as well in order to make correct changes otherwise it will not turn out good in i900.

I am still struggling to make my version works perfectly for me.

I’ve finally succeeded in changing the background of the Mobile Shell Theme. Instructions were taken from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread...ht=mobile+shell

I’ve created some sample screens for VGA, Portrait layout to go along.

i) Copy both qa_layouts.that and vp_bkg_now.that to desktop. (vp_bkg_now.that go VGA Portrait, vl_bkg_now.that for VGA Landscape)
ii) Extract the content from each file using winzip and the password : b0fm18zq


vp_bkg_now.that (vp_bkg_now.that for Portrait and vl_bkg_now.that for Lanscape)
i) Open up Separator2.bmp using programs such as Photoshop.
ii) Make the image size stretch and then insert your picture in it. For example, refer to the attach Separator2.jpg . I’ve created for the size of 480 x 2560 so that I can insert 4 image into it. You can add more or reduce the number.
iii) Flatten the image and save the file. Remember to save the file as a Windows - 16bit - R5 G6 B5 - .bmp file.
iv) Open up Separator2_m.bmp and stretch the image to 480 x 2560. Erase off anything in there and save the file
v) Open up Separator.bmp, stretch to 480x640 and insert your picture.
vi) Save the file in Windows - 16bit - R5 G6 B5 - .bmp file.
vii) Open up Separator_m.bmp. Stretch it to 480x640, erase off everything and save the file.
viii) Using Winzip, zip up all the files and encrypt it with the password : b0fm18zq


qa_layouts.that
i) Edit the .xml files accordingly. See attach AllScreen.jpg for the corresponding xml files.
ii) Look for the tag :

<Layout Name="Default">
<Plugins>
<Plugin Class="Spb.LSP.GradBackground" Name="Background">
<Int Name="NoBackgrd" Value="1"/>
<Point Name="Separator3Y" X="0" Y="-640"/> <!--ADD THIS LINE --> </Plugin>

You can change the image by specifying the X and Y coordinates.


iii) Look for the tag :

<Layout Name="240x320">
<Plugins Extends="Default">

<Plugin Name="Background" Skin="qp_bkg_now" DoubleSkin="vp_bkg_now"/> <!—ADD THIS LINE -->

<Plugin Name="Glow" Skin="qp_bkg_now" DoubleSkin="vp_bkg_now">
<String Name="ImageName" Value="Glow"/>
<BoundRect X="3" Y="40" Width="235" Height="90"/>
</Plugin>

You’ll have to insert the line to the tag <Layout Name="240x320"> that supports your device screen.


iv) Edit all the xml that you want and save the file.
v) Using Winzip, zip up all the files and encrypt it with the password : b0fm18zq
vi) Transfer both qa_layouts.that and vp_bkg_now.that to your device, overwriting the existing file and reset.

You should be able to see the background picture now.


One weird thing I’ve found is that the background will be lost when you switch the “Now” screen between Pro and classic. You’ll need to reset the device to get back all the background picture.

hehe... took me a while to understand how to change as well! I have amended everything for 240x400 so still doing some fine tuning! :)

Interesting. Thanks. Hope to try out the TouchFlo 3D Theme soon.

I ever see mario themes at xda site..its for QVGA n is created by Dredd

newbie here..

how do i open .RAR files on my laptop?

Download a program call WinRAR

You can try downloading the wm 6.1 emulator and set the screen resolution to 240 * 400. That's what I'm using now to test before installing.

If you go over the xlm file of SPB origin. You will notice that screen for WQVGA(240x400) are in the setting to support i900 and for modded, only QVGA (240x320). Maybe you can try changing it or just wait till the launch in the US.

I downloaded the diamond and extracted the files to my \Program Files\SPB Mobile Shell folder.

After reset, the shell doesn't load. Did I miss anything?

Make sure your device is QVGA..commonly after soft reset your shell will be diamond :)

I tried the HTC Diamond Mobile Shell Theme on my i900. The SPB menu is not working. When go into program/SPB, I got a blank screen and hang. ......

Anyone able to get HTC Diamond Mobile Shell Theme work on i900?

Just wait a few more days... I'm fixing the WM7 Helu Theme to work on i900.

Thank you.

And Finally Omnia can get some proper SPB Mobile Shell Themes.

Hope you like them all :)

I have tried the iPhone theme above and like it but it does do a few funny things with some other icons on your device. Suggest you don't have custom skins on your SPB Phone or your icon in the now screen toolbar will look strange. I am going to do a hard reset and clean install.

The above iPhone/SPB Shell customisation vs Winterface is an interesting thing. If you use the glass icons mod on the xda-developer site then things start to look similar. Winterface is mostly bugless but the lack of an information toolbar means that everything is in an icon (yes even a time icon).
The colour launcher icons do look better on the iPhone/SPB Shell mod but the Winterface is flexible on mixing apps and contacts and the number of pages. The iPhone/SPB Mobile Mod contact icons don't look good at all. Winterface has smaller and cleaner contact icons with no rubbish left where you don't insert any.

Both solutions lack data connection icons or applets and so you still continually have to go to a Today Screen to check your GPRS Monitor inbeded toolbar icon (if you have one)

The iPhone/SPB Shell Mod is of course free if you have a license for SPB Mobile Shell which is about the same as a license for Wintershell.
