Extracting theme from SPB Mobile Shell

Hi!
I wish I could get one of the SPB Mobile Shell's color theme stand alone : in fact I'm using SPB Mobile Shell only because of the dark grey/black color theme available under the "Theme" tab.
How should I do?
Thank you!

normal today themes are called tsk files and very very limited in functionality compated to special program themes
they are alot more then a collection of normal themes they offer new gui features and look and feel
they are required to be installed to run the themes made for them
if all you need is just a grey black theme without fancy stuff there are TONS! of tsk themes with those colouring heck you can even make one yourself

I had already discovered by myself that themes were named with the "tsk" extension. I searched such files on my device but none were found.
Thanks for the link, I'm having a look, but the SPB theme perfectly suits my needs. Is there a way to export/dump it?

tsk themes only support
colours and bars and menus and text
and a background image
it dont support fancy skinning and big clocks and such that fancy eye candy theme programs support
and so programs like SPB theme dont use tsk themes they have their own format
doubt you can export it as tsk themes only supprt the before mentioned

You are not giving us enough information.
Anyway, my psychic power tell me what you wanted to background. Do a bit of research, and you will find that the background is saved as t-something-something.png/bmp/jpg in the \Windows directory upon used. Get that and make your own theme.

The theme I'm talking about is only made of colours and background. A simple .tsk like theme I'm nearly sure. I'm at work right now, I'll try to make a screenshot of my today screen later.

Here's the screenshot :
Here is what I would like to have without SPB Mobile Shell installed !

why not just use spb shell.

Isn't it using RAM ? At least it uses ROM on my phone for many purposes I don't use.

Thank you for the link! I found SPB Black 47 which is different from the SPB Mobile Shell theme only through the wallpaper. I'll try to fix that myself. Do you know how to extract the wallpaper ?
Thank you.

SPB wallpapers are two files named
stwater_240_320.png
stwater_320_240.png
located in the windows folder. It changes when you change the theme colour..

HTC Homeplugin - How to edit white & grey text for: Home, Weather & Music Tabs?

HTC Homeplugin - How to edit white & grey text for: Home, Weather & Music Tabs?
Prior to posting this message, I have researched extensively on this site and Google for the answer but have not been successful. How can the white and grey text be changed to a different color in the HTC Homeplugin? For example, in the home tab, I am referring to the "carrier" name and "MM/DD/YY". In the weather tab, the white text for the current temperature vs. high= white and low= grey. The music tab initial text is white "Music Player" until you activate the media player and the text changes. I am currently using a white "tsk" and it makes it very hard to read the grey and white. I tried editing the "setup" XML file that is part of the initial HTC Homeplugin 6 tab version (I believe it's the latest one).
Any assistance on finding an answer to this inquiry will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I have the same question about HTC Home customize (in Wizard forum): how to add more tabs, change categories as I want... but no one answer yet! Could you, the professional, please show to the newbie the way to do...
Up to now, I only can add my app from storage to 1 of 9 block in Laucher tab (by create a shortcut in Program folder) and to tray (by using PHM toy)...

As much I hate to say it, right now there is no option to change the color of the carrier and date. My only suggestion to you would be to use a darker tsk or use HHC to change the background of the home plugin to something darker like the original background. Maybe some day they will come up with a way to change those 2 features but it is not currently available.

As for the Home plugin, you can add up to 6 tabs using the home customizer or schaps advanced configuration tool. You can also pick and choose which tabs you want.
For example>> When you flash the TNT.1437 Rom, the default setup is 5 tabs(home, favorite contacts, weather, launcher, music) but if you don't want the weather, but instead you would rather have the profiles tab, you can easily change that or have all 6 tabs.
As far as the launcher goes, you can only have 9 apps there and I don't think anything is gonna change that. If you need a quick launch solution, take a look at cLaunch. It's free and lets you do the same thing as the home plugin, only not so stylishly. Or if that is not an option for you then use PHM Power Toys and use TrayLaunch and that is just as effective.
Another Option for you would be Wisbar Advance Desktop(sorry, not free). You are able to create multiple pages and flip through them as you please(if you use HTC Home Customizer to unlock the home plugin you will be able to use it with WAD), add shortcuts to the desktop, create full themes for your today screen... etc. It's a really nice app but like I mentioned above, It isn't freeware.

OK! That means there's no way to add more tabs (just home, favorite contacts, weather, launcher, music) and add more block to Launcher either!
In fact I dont need new theme or skin but I'll try Wisbar Advance Desktop 1.3.0.7.

As a long time member of this forum, I must ask you to remove this post. Whether or not you got it for free or not is entire on you but please do not offer warez here. Offering someone Wisbar Advance Desktop for free is still stealing from the author even if you received it for free.

OK, done, man!

SPB Shell skin editor

A couple of months ago I came across a program that let me change alot of the settings, colours, icons and fonts on the SPB Shell Now screen.
I deleted the download and my phone has recently been rebuilt so I have lost it.
I have been googling for days and am unable to find it. Any help greatfully appreciated!

Are you looking for theme gene : http://pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1523

Thanks for the tip but that wasn't it. The application I had allowed you to change the spb icons for different styles (vista, mac etc) and change the font of the time etc on the home page to different colour, styles etc. I have googled endlessly but can't remember what it was called.

Perhaps you can ask at the Spb forum: http://www.spbclub.com/forum/

Sense Customization tool.

Hi there all forum memebers.
I've been roaming here and on many other WinMo sites in search of an application or a tool to help customize the sense today screen on my HD2.
Needless to say i didn't find such a tool ,i know there are endless mods of the manila 2.5 (MaxManila etc.).I'm simply looking for an easy way to add/remove notification icons,change the looks of the clock and other items on the today screen of the HD2.
I remember seeing an app called HTC HOME CUSTOMIZER which is for the TF2D inteface (i think),a nice and simple tool to change and customize everything on the today screen.
Isn't there anything similair for the new Sense 2.5 ?
Please HELP !

bump
would love this too

Several questions / problems

Hello together,
I'm playing around with all these apps, themes, roms since 2 days and I already changed a lot of things which are nice, but there are still some things which are bugging me and I can't find a solution for them. it would be really nice if you could help!!
I have installed MaxManila 2.5 V3.0 and the DKBlack theme and several other little stuff.
So now the problem is:
1. that my digital clock has a transparent background, is it possible to change this back to a white or something else? just transparant doesn't look so good in my opinion.
2. The icons on my home tab for the shortcuts are the old ones, how can I change them to new ones which I've downloaded and which are already working in the main menu?
3. Maxmanila produced a crazy flame background for me which is already not correctly centered I think, so at my phone the background is already zoomed in, so its not very sharp. Also I haven't found a way to change the background because it doesn't work with the normal menu. I don't want to stick with the flame bg
4. The Maxmanila Links for Last call,, calender etc. don't make any sense in my opinion, I mean I still have the same links at the bottom, so how can I remove them or replace them by something more useful, like a birthday reminder or something like that?
I think thats it for the moment.
THX for any help!!

Hm...is MaxManila really for HTC HD2?? I mean I realized that they don't have the normal HD2 menu at the bottom? I want to keep that, but now it makes sense that they installed this 4 icons for calender under the clock.
So is Maxmanila really for HD2 or is Cookies Home tab the better choice? Is there a way to change the clock also with the cookies home tab?
THX for any responses!!
