Guide needed - For cooking SPB Shell Themes

[Guest Alien-Tech]

Please if there is someone who could give me some hints with cooking a cab with SBP Shell Theme (Like Doc3000 or Naong......) I would be really pleased. I am quite expirienced in using Photoshop and know few basics of visal basic and XML, but I don't even know if it is possible to dissasemble a cab and find out which extensions are right. How to assemble a cab to get it work and so on. I couldn't find any guides in English.

Thanks to chopperthedog I at least know how to modify certain files within SPB Shell folder!

Thank you, for any help!

Hi, me again. I suppose you could reverse engineer it and see how one is built with this.

And compile with this.

Chopperthedog, actually I was kinda expecting you'll jump into this and help. Thank you for that pal. At a first glance of the programs you advised, I think I'll manage to do this. I have a feeling you've already work a few hours with customizing SPB Shell. What happened? It's a free time killer I know, I also have a job, wife, two small kids and a last year of Faculty, but.... well I kinda find my peace in doing that late in the evening, sometimes it prolongs until the 2 AM :)

I'll ask for help if I'll need some more! :)

I just always used MSCEInf to pull graphics from cabs for my use instead of bugging developers for a wallpaper or other elements. I used mobile shell for awhile and really liked it but I just settled on wad2. All my work with shell was purely personal and had fun too. I just never had the attention span to try to create a cab of all elements. I'm not the smartest guy but if I can help I will. Hope you enjoy many hours tweaking. And it will be neat if I ever see an official Alien-Tech mobile shell theme release.

good day.
