NOTE:
About five months later from the first released version and three from the last build... the first version that can be called Beta! Finally all layouts are edited and some more nice improvements.
And rather than a description - simple theme - now we’ve got a name: DxTend theme - different name but the same feeling...

Even if you've tried Simple Theme before, i assure you - u must try this one


CHANGELOG:
Layouts:
- Removed for good the Custom Menu from previous builds;
- Fixed the "Change Ringtone" layouts with new "Play" and "Stop" buttons;
- New default contact image (similar to the belle one) in all contact(s) pages (Contact, Logs, Carrousel, etc) and also instead of the string “Add Picture” (or something) in a contact without an associated picture;
- Re-dimensioned the texts and lines in “SPB Settings” layouts and Re-designed some buttons in other layouts;
- Re-dimensioned some texts in “Weather” layouts and revert the small sky icons on the forecast layout – the HD ones have less icons than the original;
- The items in Options Menus and Popups Menus were also re-dimensioned;
- Re-designed the Options Menu on Extra Folders – now it can be accessed by hitting the right button on bottom bar – well it’s just a hidden link on footer, but it works very similar to the default ones;
- Redefined the default links in all Extra Folders and System;
- Redefined also the default widgets and links on the Lifestyle Page;
- Now the previous page with the small links to Layouts (accessed by the bar’s center button) is a kind of a Notification/Status/Shortcuts Page that can also be accessed in almost pages – however you can edit it and use it for whatever you want.
- Scrolling Left or Right in the New Notification Page u will get the Task Manager Layout – so it’s easy to access it from almost everywhere – just press the center button to access the notifications and then scroll for any side to access it;
- Some other minor things, and things that I can’t remember...

Bottom bars:
- Removed the empty spaces that exists in some bars on previous builds;
- Changed the position of Carrousel and Home Buttons – it feels more natural and intuitive;
- New icon for Home button, and it will go not for Professional Layout, but for the last Layout used – so if u were on Lifestyle u will go back to there instead of going always to the Professional one;
- In Contacts, the center button leads u to Favorites instead of Notifications and hitting the center button on Favorites it will switch between the Favorites and the Carrousel Contacts;
- Changing between Lifestyle and Professional works good now in both directions;
- Some other minor things, and things that I can’t remember...

Icons and Widgets:
- Retouched the SPB Menu icons – the previous ones seems sliced on the edges;
- Now the Belle Links Widgets styles are more similar to Belle;
- New widgets for weather and three sizes isolated Sky icons;
- Finally a custom Media Player for the theme - well isn’t a new and creative one... but I think that works nice – with some sizes and two backgrounds and also with all single buttons isolated and with different sizes so u can combine them as u wish
- Almost all styles for Links are now present in Profile widget and with some news;
- Some news also for Links that I use in the notifications panel;
- Some new Text Style widgets to use with some Notifications Widgets – but it’s impossible to move them, so they can’t be used in any other positions without modding the widget xml file;
- New Digital Clock with the same feel as Simple widgets;
- Different icon for Wireless 4 in 1 also more similar with the rest of the theme;
- Removed the Extra Folders Links Styles – I think that anybody use them – if there is any request I can put them back;
- And again... some other minor things, and things that I can’t even remember...

IMPORTANT:
Do NOT edit the widgets positions directly from the extra folder, it will mess up the positions of other widgets in other sections.
U can add many widgets, links and backgrounds as you want... but more u use more it will slow down the shell, so be smart while adding widgets to custom headers, footers, etc.


INSTALLING:
[1] exit SPB Mobile Shell
[2] install the Dxtend Theme to the same drive as SPB Mobile Shell (Important)
[3] start SPB Mobile Shell

NOTE:
Using the installer will "change" the version of SPB Mobile Shell, so if u prefer u can extract all the files from the package and install it manually.

Installer:

ENJOY IT

ATTENTION:
To who don't know this theme... let me tell you - U MUST TRY IT!!! It's a different level of SPB Mobile Shell Modding! It isn't all about the design, but about exploring the shell possibilities! The result is nice and simple theme with full support for landscape and portrait, with some nice features and improvements than the ones explained here and i think that in many ways works much better that the original one

Give it a try

ps. and not to mention that it's packed in single installer file
