There are actually a couple other threads asking this same question. I haven't seen any skins for our WVGA screens as of yet.
I do know that SPB is coming out with an updated version of Mobile Shell here soon and from the you tube videos I've seen, it looks pretty nice. Maybe then we will start seeing skins for our HDs.

It's an update to 3.0 if I'm not mistaken but it will support WVGA and many other screen resolutions. By the looks of it others may start to use is again which will hopefully get the artists working on some nice skins...that is if the default one isn't nice enough.

first, tyvm for the link!
this skin looks like the htc diamond skin...or i'm wrong?
i didnt see any other screenshots!

No, there is many themes for HD on the previous site. Go on "skins", then kyro or luna. You can go too on the tab "options" and select what you want to see. You can make your own theme with this program (which need mortscript installed) : you can choose icons menu, icons program, wallpaper, icons notifications, meteo, analog or digital clock (many choice...), the weather...
It really rocks for SPB Mobile Shell !

I've never seen this site before. It does say it is for Mobile Shell 2.1 so you may be able to try and skin it for WVGA. With 3.0 coming out soon I think this will all change as far as how their software will be skinned.

argh! sorry i missi it! lol
thx!!!!!!!!!!!

Give it a try, this really rocks. Once installed, you can customize almost everything in options !
Besides, you got a "comm manager" when you click on the "task bar".

The skin change app continues to improve with each update though the background images have not really changes button and weather icon options have

No my friend the link is good however ppl are overloading the server is all.

Ahh. . that's why. I see that the .exe is up on a bunch of other sites
I deleted my links, cause SPB removed them so they didn't work anymore.

Incredible fast!
I like it very much. Really nice UI.
I'll try it out for a while and we'll see =)

Yeah I like it too, impressive tool, now lets see if it can replace TF3D for good Trial is good for 15 days.

not register ... 15 day try..

Damn, it's ugly!
Sorry, but it really is
Anyways, you guys might wanna take a look at this:

Well I think it looks great, and have been waiting a long time for this.... well not really but seems like it

Basic version always was, customization and skins is where it could shine

Just tried it now and wasn't to fond of it to be honest.
The professional screen just looked overcrowded in my opinion but the lifestyle screen was cool.
I think it would've been a good idea if you had the choice to get rid of one of
the screens.
I've still got it installed but have turned it off and am using TouchFLO again

Trial version
0 days left
Not working

instal cab not works correctly on HD, but exe yes.

The cab works fine to me. Realy fast and beautiful. But i have 2 of everyone in my contacts.

Excellent! I've been waiting for this! I hope you skinners start pumping some themes out!

Took a while to release but definitely worth the wait.

And you reckon SPB Mobile Shell is ugly! There really is no accounting for taste!

Looks great in landscape! Just need to figure out how to have my other apps open instead of the ugly standard windows mobile apps... i.e. calendar and sms.

At last its released! Was waiting 4 this so long. Now im gonna compare this stuff with Manila. Who is gonna win? Will see.
PS: found serial inside ver. cool.

Which UI are you using?

I'm still on my quest trying to find a UI to use... and not sure if this thread is already around...
Please vote...

You forgot about Titanium! (default WM 6.5 interface)
I guess it falls under "other", but it's still quite a main UI...

Ultimate Launch for me

Some Screns Shots of my UI with Ultimate Launch

@machina: wow..i like your today screen..
I use various plugins...
I used SPB Mobile Shell 2 for a long time but removed it...
now I use: HTC Home, Homescreen++...
i am still looking for some good one...I would really like to have today screen as desktop on PC with movable widgets icons and stuff...hope something like that will come

sorry for my bad language
Thanks

here:
http://www.imarche.net/omnia/collection.php

will that work ok on a htc hd if its made for the omina? if so i might get it as its quite smart

seems you need spb mobile shell installed for it to work wish id known that before i wasted a whole £1.20 lol

thx for the link

am i allowed to offer this clock to people as ive legally purchased it but im never gonna use it as i dont have spb mobile shell?

Hi piebobs,
I'm interested in your clock. I'm already running Spb Mobile Shell 3.

No this is still illegal. This would be like buying a DVD, copying it, and then giving it to other for free. This is why all companies like SPB provide security codes for their software to prevent you from sharing it.
If you want this you will need to purchase it. Sorry folks

SPB mobile shell worth it?

Is it any better than TF3D? Should i just wait for windows mobile 6.5?
Thanks in advance!

Why don't you try it? It's a big cab and it has a limited (15 days?) trial.
I ran it a little on my TP and went back to touchflo, it is nice though, definitively worth trying!

Plus you can toggle from TF3D to SPB when you want...

The calender is WAY better than the Touch Flo, but other than that, it is just personal preference.

I think SPB shell is much better, due to the ability to customize. Pretty active community as well, meaning a steady supply of new widgets and customizations. Plus it's easy on the battery.
Definitely recommend the 15 day trial.

Since there are no custom roms for the CMDA version I currently use it. I prefer it over touch flow as you can customize it alot more and it uses alot less memory than TF3D does. It has a nice interface and it's fun to use if you get bored with TF3D or regular WinMo 6.1. If you are resourceful enough, you can use it for more than the trial.

tried SPB Mobile Shell,it's gorgous,of course it's better than Malina TouchFlo3D,I like it so much.
but i had to uninstall SPB Mobile Shell,the reason? it is not good at organizing calls and SMS,when there is miss call,SPB Mobile Shell only shows it for a while,then there is no indication you can see that there was a miss call.
this is terribly bad management.

IMHO it was worth it prior to TF3D as plain Windows Mobile 6 was pretty boring.
Now however its kinda like the old guy at the club.

I think touchflo looks nice and clean....BUT, mobile shell is crazy on the personnalization. ? 6 pages for personnalization + weather total of 17 pages with contacts and others .....I love it !
Take a look, it's sence la révolution v2 theme

Getting tired with Touchflo, so might start toying some more with spb again.

I tried it for day. But I like TF3D better. It's just simpler to me.

Here ya go ! It's in french but if you look around in the posts you will find someone who made a english copy, or just altered a few files to make it english.

Looking forward to that, I'm always changing and opened to new ideas !

Touch Flo has some serious usability problems.
Email and text messaging for instance.
If you want to check those it is a 3 step process most of the time.
SPB did a really good job making it basically a one touch method.
The eye candy is not as good and the calendar needs work but overall its faster to get things done with basically no lag.
The facebook integration IMO is better as well.
Worth the money.

I installed this theme and nothing is displaying correctly. Any ideas on what went wrong/ It seems like nothing is centered correctly.

I haven't had this issue at all. My notifications stay until I view them.
MS3 is always the first program I install on my phones. Love it, can't live without it. I live on the lifestyle screen, customized just how I like it.

I tried it a couple of days ago, and I guess I'm just getting old. There was a LOT of customization that you could do with it but I just didn't feel like going through all that to get it the way I wanted it. Out the box, I still couldn't get what I was looking for. I switched back to TF3D, but that's not to say that one is better than the other. It's really personal choice. I got pretty much all I need with a few tweaks and TF3D, but if I get bored, the Hero skin for SPB MS3 is looking really good.

Does anyone have any idea why when i install this theme it makes everything on my screen jibberish?

I haven't personally installed the theme, I just googled it to see what came up. Try googling it (sence la révolution v2 theme) and looking it up from another website. There are a ton of spb mobile shell theme web sites. There are bunch on here as well.
Edit...Actually, here is the info on here about it. I was bored and searched it. Check this out.
