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.

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

Great theme, Greatbal...
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...

Welcome to my Spb Mobile Shell Theme Packs!
This is a theme based on single background images, and integrated into 3 different areas of my phone. These 3 areas are the (1) Today Screen, (2) The Phone Dialer, and (3) Spb Mobile Shell.
Supported Versions:
Today Screen: Windows Mobile 5.0 and Higher (possibly reverse compatable with earlier versions) *Integrated into the Mobile Shell install CABs
Dialer Pad: Requires hardware support send/end keys
Spb Mobile Shell 2: Support versions 2.0 and 2.1 features
QVGA Support: 240x320 Portrait and 320x240 Landscape Modes supported by all 3 packages. Other resolutions have limited support, use at own risk.
As with all installations/upgrades, it is highly recommended you prefrom a backup of your device before proceeding with any changes.
Credits:
- MaxMotus for his work on MM-Shell, the inspiration of this work.
- All in the SPB Shell thread.
Installation:
- The Mobile Shell Themes should be installed on a clean version of "Spb Mobile Shell", if any theme from another author was previously installed, you should restore the most current version by reinstalling the OEM package.
- Download the CAB, and run from device, install to device not the storage card.
- "Soft Reset" the device.
Developing themes takes alot of time, any donations would be greatly appreciated. I could use a beer.

Now to the good stuff!
Spb Today
Description: Minor tweaked version of the popular "Spb Watcher", when active as a "today plugin", Spb Mobile shell is forced to open when the today screen is displayed.
- Version 1.0.1: Minor tweaks to registry, more reliable function.
- NOTE: I take no/none/zero credit for the build of this program, nor do I know who the original author was, I have only cleaned up a few redundant items that I think were introducing bugs. I doubt they are all gone but im happy with the stability. -Thanks
Download Spb Today File
Themes Packs:
Calendar Tab Note: In order to get the calendar tab to display goto "Settings>System>Spb Mobile Shell", on the "Now Screen" tab ensure it is set for "Classic", and uncheck "Show ...." in the config option. The calendar tab is designed to auto hide if you display the calendar or appointments on any of the now screens. This effects all 3 layouts, I felt that the calendar tab becomes redundant if the calendar is already displayed on a different tab. Configure calendar options while having "Professional" selected, best appearance is when "auto" is selected.
In effect, this makes each theme have 5 different layouts:
1) Classic Analog with Calendar tab
2) Classic Analog without Calendar tab
3) Classic Digital with Calendar tab
4) Classic Digital without Calendar tab
5) Professional Digital without Calendar tab.

Help!!!
I have installed only the dialpad portion of mobile3 (cubed). I like it, but after making one call, then the smart dial ceases to function. I uninstalled the application, but I guess your files replaced necessary files in the windows directory that I foolishly did not back up. I would rather keep the installer if I can make it work on the phone properly, but if not, can you tell me how I might go about restoring the original files in my windows directory. I am using a Cingular 8125 with winodws mobile 5. Thanks.

I've never seen any of the problems you describe, my files are just graphics anyway. If you want to uninstall, remove wizard_reTOUCHed_Dialer2, through the regular unistall routine. It should uninstall just fine, I've been able to get my ATT Dialer back every time.

I've seen this problem too, its not caused the theme, try remaping the softkey in your mobile shell settings, or other softkey remapping utility. The Spb Softkey Mapper seems to be a bit buggy.
This one just plain does not show up on my device.

Should be running fine on that one, its qVGA right?
Since I saw you were running one of my other themes, thats still in pre-release stages, I have to assume your issues were resolved (that theme is built off the files from this one).

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 .
---------------
1) Default
2) Default - Black
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.

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.

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!

Added screen of digital clock and installation images to help people that are not familiar with this softwares
Now the download of the theme is under a easy-share link because i had a lot of problems to upload the theme in attach.

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

Well, xda is definitely a "must be" place isn't it?
Excuse me...
I actually tried last night....but i couldn't get it to work.....probably my lousy knowledge , does anyone know the step-by-step installation which can share...
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!!

In WM6.0 , VJToggleToday well done. But in the lastest version rom of WM6.1 it does not remove the top bar.
so I will recommend one way.
Explain this way.
1. install nuenobar-103-v1. to remove bottom bar.
2. Hold blank position of my skin , popup menu ;Show rows Uncheck Indicators.
3. Change the default wallpaper to WM6.1Wallpaper. (Attached)

This looks freaking awesome! Can't wait to take it for a test drive
great skin thank you very much for your share and excellent work
You're welcome
I had to use your B&W Diamond skin from AM, just a few days ago.
now i say it " Thank you "
Very nice....
I love this...nice man!
sorry for double posting, pc problem here...
nice!
wow!
looks just great!
any chance for a omnia (wqvga) version?
regards
chuckbert
VGA for Diamond please
I am not certain whether it is a bug in your design or not, but I can't get rid of the top bar. VJToggleToday does not remove the top bar and I have a feeling that it might be ROM related. In the most recent WM6.1 builds, a few things have changed. For instance, dcinobar no longer works, so someone came up with nuenobar for later versions of WM6.1. I have a BA running sun dream's WM6.1 build 20278.
Other than that, this works really smoothly (although I could definitely do away with VJToggle popping out every time I SR my device)
For me, VJToggle Today doesn't work too.
I'm running on 6.1. There must be another way to get ridd of the topbar.
To remove the VJToggle just remove it from the StartUp folder in your windows directory.
btw. is there an easy way to add more pages. I would like to sparate weather and calendar in two tabs.
But anyway its a fantastic skin.
Nice work! It looks beautifull!!!
Any chance of releasing a 320x320 96dpi version ?
I'd love to use this on my Samsung i780
Nice work! but can you make a lite edition? just only use hs++. ThX ahead!
Sorry i have only QVGA device. so It's a difficult.

I've heard this issue. and Your guess is correct.
In WM6.0 , VJToggleToday well done. But in the lastest version rom of WM6.1 device it does not remove the top bar.

You use Wisbar Advance+ OSX tiger skin.
Explain this way.
1. toggleToday setup - top : 25 , bottom:1
2. Hold blank position of my skin , popup menu ->Show rows-> Unchek Indicators.
3. You use Wisbar Advance to make like my style.

For add more pages , you have to edit XML.
If you don't know about that Go here Thread for Themes (Collection of themes) and Questions about making themes !!!

screenshot update!
this is great! i also find manila 2d a bit too much for my titan (sprint mogul) and prefer running wad2. i've been using this theme and made some tweaks for my own usage. it's great because wad2 is so easy to customize. and i love how much weather info and built in system monitors and readings you can use. i really appreciate the effort in making this skin!
i just have a couple issues i thought i would ask about. first, the photo page seems to take forever to load and hogs down system resources indefitinely when changing the path to a folder on the storage card. this may be related to the number of photos i have there and not the path itself. just thought i'd see if anyone was experiencing the same.
second, the sms plugin doesn't seem to be working. i don't see any of my messages on the sms page (and i have installed the xiamultitheme plugin). touching where the plugin is located on the sms does launch the sms app. any ideas?
so happy to see Hong Konger here!!!
just like to ask ask if my Omnia i908 (traditional Chinese Rom) can use your M2d theme???
Thanks. 唔該
You'r back my friend, great work, it's realy nice.

No, I meant the SMS, but I see they have a new method now (instead of using MortScript like you had used before). I will have to try it out sometime. I hope to have the From and maybe the first few words from the newest message on the SMS tab on my theme.
I was able to try out your theme and it's very good. Keep them coming!
random question, but what kind of battery drain do you guys see with WAD2? i used to run spb mobile shell, but the extra battery drain was annoying.
