Hello DrunphO

First of all just Tested yur Theme its awsome i like it very much  +1 

I think Tequilan talk about Fullscreen Wallpaper for the Theme 

http://forum.dailymobile.net/index.php?topic=23448.msg552050#msg552050

About translation let me know can translate in German 

Regards

[DrunphO]

i'm glad you like it

i think the theme looks better in mobile than in those screenshots and the slidebar/dots transitions in menu bar are very smooth and that can not be shown on screens  

about the fullscreen wallpaper i will look at it, seems a nice option to add

if will not consumes many time, i will ask expinox if he doesn't mind that i integrate it with this theme.

...

and thank you for your willingness to help in the translation 

[expinox]

Drumpho, you have make a very very good work, nice, innovative and elegant transparent bottom bar and also good sub-menù, thx and +1!
Yes, I think that will good use your mod as better base for add many widget ... after the holydays.
For the moment I have modified your qa_layouts for have different full-screen wallpapers in every pages, so asked by various users.
I modified Lockscreen.xml ( for put walls until bottom ), MenuBar.xml, MenuBarMin.xml ( for remove RecycleBin ) and Widget.xml ( for have walls in 360x554 and mantains bar black with theme "Simple Medium" and have walls in 360x614 that go also under the bar with theme "Simple Big" - see the screen).

Don't extract, only rename from .zip to .dat.
But full screen work only in Portrait, is possible add others theme for have walls in landscape, but is not possible switch from Portrait and Landscape and automatically changhe image.
Thx again Drumpho  

[DrunphO]

thanks my friend!!! i was looking right now to your files (in the link provided by papashango1000) to see what i can do to this one.

and yeah that's a cool feature, congratulation

also adding the 2 size options to this one was very nice and clever, cooool

certainly i will integrate your idea in the next revision but i will think about how can we add the support for fullscreen in landscape too.

thanks for your feedback, your knowledge and contribution

SPB Mobile Shell Simple Theme Update
Alpha Version build 0.0.5 by DrunphO

CHANGELOG:

i'd like to know what you think about the new picture frame widget style for backgrounds, it's a kind of improvement of the expinox's original one for supporting both landscape and portrait, i add it but i don't use it because i prefer the black background.

i will love to see people using this theme to create their ones

I use Your Beautifull Theme whit the Fullscreen Walls just in Livestyle Layout the rest i let like you made m8 

I use the Theme just in Portrait Mod i like  very much

thanks for your support

[expinox]

DronphO, I have no time now to test it, just for a quick response, you have been very good at implementing the full screen vertically and horizontally, and both working together!    Bravissimo! 
Another remarkable thing you've done is switching between the various extra-home through simple side-scrolling!
I wanted to ask you something since you're so good, I tried to set the layout Professional 5 pages, but the slider is almost becoming invisible than there is in the Lifestyle, you can fix this?
And you will make that the Picture Frame also read files in PNG format? In that case you could create other themes for Picture Frame (60x60 and 90x90 and maybe others) and use icon sets directly through the Picture Frame and then superimpose the themes invisible.
Anyway guys, filled of thanks this very good modder. 
+1 From me too. 

[DrunphO]

@expinox

wow 

thanks for your words... you are too kind 

about the slider... there's nothing to be fixed as you should know the way spb ms use to re-size the bar don't allow to maintain the bar size or aspect for different page numbers... so a dot style slider like this must have one slidebar for each option... but...

a little thought:
I use just one page in professional but i thought it was nice to have the alternative of using more and keep the functionality of the slider, but it was limited to 5, so I created also for 3 and that's why professional has a 3 pages bar by default.

... you have a simple solution 

Here is the deal:

@everyone

HOW TO CHANGE SLIDEBAR FOR 3 OR 5 PAGES:

[1] open the qa_layouts.dat provided in the pack with winrar or a similar program;
[2] extract* the file:
     - LockScreen.xml  - if u want to change it in professional
     - LockScreen2.xml - if u want to change it in lifestyle
[3] open the extracted file with notepad;
[4] find and edit the line:

     <Layer Name="Slider" Dialog="MenuBarSlider3"/>   <!-- for a 3 dots slider -->
or
     <Layer Name="Slider" Dialog="MenuBarSlider"/>    <!-- for a 5 dots slider -->

[5] save the file and update* qa_layouts.dat (ex. drag the file to the qa_layouts.dat's winrar window)
[6] copy the updated qa_layouts.dat to e:\Others\SpbShell\
[7] restart SPB Mobile Shell

* IMPORTANT: for extraction and also for compression (when updating qa_layouts.dat) you must use the password: b0fm18zq

@expinox again

you probably know all the process but maybe someone need it 

about...

And you will make that the Picture Frame also read files in PNG format? In that case you could create other themes for Picture Frame (60x60 and 90x90 and maybe others) and use icon sets directly through the Picture Frame and then superimpose the themes invisible.

that's a great idea!!! but... is that possible?

Thanks again
