Color Theme Option:
Installing any of the Color Theme compatible background files enables you to change the color background images based on the current color theme. Just go to SPB Menu > Tools > Theme and choose your desired color. Or you can use my BaseHueExpress.exe application (attached below) to change your BaseHue, this enables choosing other colors aside from the one provided by SPB MS.
Note:
a) The Color Theme background files are included in the Optional_Files Folder.
b) Only Default (#1) and Diamond (#3) changes your Today wallpaper with the same image when choosing the theme color from SPB Menu > Tools > Theme .

3) Diamond
4) Aurora

BaseHueExpress: Enables you to change your device's BaseHue. Just download, unzip and copy greatbal_BaseHueExpress.exe to your device and run from there (or create a shortcut to your Start Menu). Note: You should have NetCompactFramework version 2.0 (or higher) installed on your device.

Just wow!!
Diamond VGA
First of all, many thanks to the amazing work of greatbal. This theme is all his work, I only take credit for converting his wonderful work to VGA.
This was pretty challenging for me, especially since I don't have a VGA phone. I have tested this on my computer using an emulator, I hope it works on your phone.
This version is Layout C with 3 contacts pages. It was made to work on VGA(480x640) screens.
Download Diamond for SPB Mobile Shell Layout C-3 Contacts-VGA here.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397260
2) Does this one also has the hidden shortcuts page as your previous version does?
Thank you!

UPDATE:
New release WAD2 (RC13) - 21/09/2008
New release HS++ (Version 1.06 - build 0342) - 21/09/2008
Hi,
This theme was build with a combination of several softwares:
* Wisbar Advance Desktop 2 (WAD2)
This is a beta version that right now are in phase RC13
http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13570
* HomeScreen PlusPlus UI
Version 1.06 - build 0342 - 19/09/2008:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=114366&d=1221856346
* Retro Clock
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344870
Now i'm going to try to explain the screens that you can see down!!
All the pages are from WAD2 but some of them have plugins added:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
* Clock Page - Wad2 + Retro Clock Plugin
* Settings Page - Wad2
* Office Page - Wad2
* Weather pages - Wad2
* Applications Page - Wad2 + HomeScreen PlusPlus UI Plugin
If you prefere a digital clock instead of analogic you can make one in WAD2 because you have the Clockrow and the numbers, inside images folder, to build.
INSTALATION NOTES:
First you must install the 3 softwares that i mention in the beginning of the post. Only after that you go to the installation of the themes.
Download the Zimaia5_Theme.zip from this links:
http://w15.easy-share.com/1701370094.html
or
http://rapidshare.com/files/141131011/Zimaia5_Theme.zip.html
- WAD2 Theme:
First you must run Wad2 at least one time to generate the themes folder inside wad2 installation folder because wad2 is a RC10 version and does not came with any theme therefore initial the themes folder doesn't exist but after you run one time wad2 generates that folder.
Copy the Zimaia5 folder and place inside themes folder of wad2 installation folder
Then run wad2 and follow the installation images.
- HomeScreen PlusPlus UI theme:
Copy the two files inside HS++PlusPlus folder and place them inside HS++ folder installation, if in wad2 nothing shows up in applications page follow the installation images
- Retro Clock Theme:
Install cab that are inside Retro Clock folder and then place the skin files inside retro installation folder. If the clock doesn't show up in clockpage of wad2 follow the installation images. You must also go to today settings of windows mobile and in retro clock options, change the skin to Zimaia5 skin.
Enjoy
beautifull , great work thank you very much
I'm having a problem because the folder Zimaia5 of WAD2 original have 2 subfolder with the weather images but i had to remove that folders because the upload fails.
Now i have the images of weather that must be placed inside Zimaia5 folder and i can not upload them
Very nice, thank you for your effort!

well my device is running wm6 so i suppose any device running wm6 should work fine with this theme. This theme is not index to a manufacturer but index to windows mobile. Any device running windows mobile 6.0 or 6.1 are ok, i guess

thanks a lot
Great design!! Thanks for sharing!1 A couple of questions:
1) how much RAM memory approximately does all this setup take (including WAD, and all other plugins you've used)?
2) Can you change the profile easily from the main page? I can't see a volume or profile icon
3) Is there a page for contacts / quick dialing??
4) Can you add extra today plugins I'm currently using inside WAD?
Thanks!

Thanks KamaL,
1- In my device all the theme is current eating 2,6mb
2- Well, wad2 it's a hight customizable application and ofcourse changing quickly profile is one of the available options. It is only a mater of placing anywhere an icon and add to that icon the profile script command. In my case i don´t have that command defined but actually i don't have even half of the options that wad2 give me I think the best option is install wad2 and ckeck what you can do with it. You will be surprised with this!!!
3- My device is a Asus P750 that have a physical T9 keyboard so i didn't implement the contacts page because i spend much less time using smart dialing with T9, however you can add that page and use the speed dial options of wad2, later i will post the contacts page with the matching design of this theme
4- You can add all the plugins you wont, ofcourse you must prepare the wad2 layout to receive that plugins but you can do it, no problem!!
NOTE: For WQVGA (as in Omnia, 240x400) Version, please see this post:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2633664&postcount=245
Update 12-Sep-2008 : Layout variations available, see FAQ #10
Update 11-Sep-2008 : Dark Version available. For white text over a dark background (color theme version), see FAQ #9
Update 10-Sep-2008 : Added Omnia today theme tsk file (attached below)
Update 09-Sep-2008 : Cab file (see How to Install below) and Phone Suites profile icons (see FAQ #8)
---------------------
Inspired by Samsung Omnia. This theme is for QVGA devices ONLY. Optimized for portrait mode use, but also supports landscape mode.
NOTE: I designed this for Mobile Shell 2.1.2, but it should work on version 2.1 (with issues on highlights and overlapping classes.)
Features/Notes/FAQ:
1) Now Screen, Calendar page, Launcher Page, MRU Page, 3 Contacts pages. (Gesture left or right to get to the MRU and other Contacts pages.)
2) Selecting any of the Color Themes will result in a change in the Today wallpaper similar to the theme's background image.
3) If you prefer flat black bars (which I think goes well with the theme), please see this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2585006&postcount=4
4) I added additional Main Menu icons (please see post#2 below.)
5) For Games and Task Menu items with correct Menu Icons, please see this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2584998&postcount=2
6) How to switch between the 3 different Now Screens? please see post#3 below.
7) How to show calendar events and Alarm on the Calendar Page and Professional Now Screen? pleasee see post#3 below.
8) For SPB Phone Suites users, you can try the profile icons here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2617408&postcount=57
9) Is there a version with white texts and a darker background? Yes, please see this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2624349&postcount=158
10) Can you please make a simpler version, e.g. only one contact page? It's already available here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2628054&postcount=204

Nope does not support square screen.
Looks awesome.
Can I install it on my Omnia (res 240x400)?
===================
EDIT: See post #18.
===================
This is for QVGA devices only. Meaning, it won't run on the Omnia and the i780. Somebody will have to edit the layout dat file to make it work. I don't have access to those two devices to test and make it compatible. Sorry...

Any suggestions ?

EDIT: I see you got it working. hehe. good for you.
You can only see amaximum of two appointments/all-day events on the Professional Now Screen.
Have you tried the answer to FAQ #7 posted on the FIRST post?
greatbal said:
Features/Notes/FAQ:
1) Now Screen, Calendar page, Launcher Page, MRU Page, 3 Contacts pages. (Gesture left or right to get to the MRU and other Contacts pages.)
2) Selecting any of the Color Themes will result in a change in the Today wallpaper similar to the theme's background image.
3) If you prefer flat black bars (which I think goes well with the theme), please see this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2585006&postcount=4
4) I added additional Main Menu icons (please see post#2 below.)
5) For Games and Task Menu items with correct Menu Icons, please see this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2584998&postcount=2
6) How to switch between the 3 different Now Screens? please see post#3 below.
7) How to show calendar events and Alarm on the Calendar Page and Professional Now Screen? please see post#3 below.

I believe this change is made within the registry, I cant remember the exact location right now but it was somewhere in the current user section, under security. I haven't gotten around to making dialer skins yet, looking into it for future releases.

Its much like M2D, SPB SHELL and Iphone today all combined, but simpler.
Its still a little buggy on different devices and (suposedly) a bit of a memory drain, currently theres no ladscape support.

Just replace your TGA on the plugin folder with the attached one (backup yours first, just in case) and restart the plugin.

Another tip, I moved my pictures to:
\Storage card\My documents\My pictures and now all the pics are showing up there.
The bottom softkeys open the picture album or a autoplay slideshow.
The right counter is also a smooth slider. [/QUOTE][/QUOTE]
twolf said:
you can enable/disable tabs on the START/Settings/Today/Items/Plugin Options
Or direcly in \Program Files\MotoSurf\TodayOption.exe
Home tab cant be disabled, and the rest of the list is in another font, so the list is as follows:
- Contacts
- Internet
- Weather
- RSS (duh)
- Pictures
- Applications
Other tips:
---------------
- You can click once on the upper window on the HOME tab to fix it to the windows there, with 3 extra shortcuts that you can change easily.
- Ordering the launcher and contacts is pretty obvious, just press whithout releasing the finger and drag afterwords. To remove, use the SETTINGS softkey.
- The big weather is reached after clicking a city. As mentioned by bugsykoosh, the C anf F are also clickable to choose weather type.
- Also mentioned before, the SETTINGS icon on the home tab allows more customization.
- The weather wallpaper option are JPG's inside \Program Files\MotoSurf\ , in fact all the images, icons and XML's that make the layout seem to be there, so skinning and modding this baby should be a breeze.

Hey twolf do you think it is possible to make flip clock in qvga for this plugin? I am just starting to play with modding it a bit.
Im afraid it looks pretty static, even the images dont change untill you restart the plugin... :/
twolf - thanks for bringing this great UI to XDA. Hopefully it will catch on more with others and we'll see some great mods here shortly.
I have an Omnia (WQVGA) - Motosurf works great, however the icons are stretched, as is the wallpaper. I've re-sized the icons and tweaked some of the other images to fit properly - how though do I go about actually resizing the entire UI to fit 240x400? Is it as simple as adjusting the sizes (240x320) included in the xml files? If someone could give me a direction as to where and how to start modding Motosurf to fit 240x400, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thx for Big Clock Twolf...
@ mtglo
Try this one...
Updated _application.xml to look much better on WQVGA
Just a clarification, jboogie3 brought this great software, not me.

Tip and skin added to the first post, thanks.
@lesscro
thanks for the file. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to do much to the standard layout, except for reducing the size of the calendar text on the home page. The wallpaper is still stretched, as are the contact and favorites images. Thanks for the effort though.
I've attached the icons I re-sized for WQVGA, so they are not stretched. Just unzip and replace current tga files (backup as necessary).
Do you guys have the fix for the favorite aplication issue?, i cannot add one single program !!!
Thanks in advance.
Keep this thread up TWOLF!
