OK I obviously did something wrong (I'm all of your nightmare - I keep playing and I have no clue that the hell I'm doing!). What I'm trying to do is add that launcher with the folders.

1) I added the Menu10 registry key (just added the one to try it out), pointing to the Games folder (again to try it).

2)The Menu was generated

3) I added launcher3.xml to my existing qa_layouts.dat - remembering the encryption.

4) I guessed on this part but I added Tab7 (Tab6 was pre-existing) to my main.xml:

- <Plugin Class="Spb.LSP.Tab" Name="Tab6" ID="0">

<String Name="Form" Value="Subform" />

<String Name="Dialog" Value="SpeedDial2" />

<Int Name="Image" Value="5" />

<String Name="Data" Value="Spb.Data.CallLog" />

</Plugin>

- <Plugin Class="Spb.LSP.Tab" Name="Tab7" ID="0">

<String Name="Form" Value="Subform" />

<String Name="Dialog" Value="Launcher3" />

<Int Name="Image" Value="6" />

<String Name="Data" Value="Spb.Data.Launcher" />

</Plugin>​

5) And I get nothing...

I was hoping that sliding would bring up that new launcher with the folders. So I am assuming I am missing something.

Final question - Those folder icons are great, but I have absolutely no idea how to add the icons to the existing files. Saw the icons in http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2050240&postcount=725

And finally I'm using this skin originally from the Russian site http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2068434&postcount=46

Thanks to all. Sorry that this is sooooo long

fga, could you make this with a plain black background please. This is working great, but I'm having some trouble read some weather icons and text where the background is light.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] luiggi:
Similar to the icon guide

Follow the icon guide, just ommit the filler color layer addition to the main file and make sure you have the white color mask. I´ll try to come up soon with a specific guide for separators.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cincij:
I have a few items I need to clean up and then I can release this current work in progress. The main snag right now is that I would like to change the icons on the top of the calendar screen. Right now these are MRU icons, but I would like to figure out how to use "m0,m1,etc." items here. If that is not possible I would like to at least find out how to change the icons for the MRU's. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

Just wondering?

I was looking around on a French site (http://www.actualitemobile.com/forum/index.php/topic,1654.msg19153.html#msg19153) with Skins. Attached is a pic of the skin that I came across that contains a wi fi and bluetooth On/OFF indicators (inside the red box) Now unfortunately my French is not good enough to post something on their site to ask them how it was done. I am wondering if anyone in xda knows how or has designed something similar? I did install all of the files but have been unable to get the screen to show. I have viewed all of the threads I can find but have not found an answer.

I would also like to say that I have seen several skins on both sites that are very impressive and are well beyond my capabilities. And would like to thank everyone for posting them.

Well done cincij !! This is a breakthrough on MS2 moding.

Do you have specific icons you want to change?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cincij:
For the Calendar page I would like to skin the ThumbCal button, but there are are other places in landscape view I am trying to add new shortcuts.

Ideally I would prefer to add these as Launcher menus, but I have been unsuccessful at adding this type of button to any screen but the Launcher.

I can add most recently used buttons to any screen, but they lack icon and text customization as far as I know.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] luiggi:
You can customize mru icons

If you add ThumbCal as a link in My Menu you can pick the icon you want, to add more customized icons to the original ones check this post

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=2048093#post2048093

EDIT: I was wrong, customization works to change the icon in the My Menu screen but the mru screen renders the original icon application

You want to enhance your icons?

An idea to enhance the original icons (mainly the plain mru icons) without the need to edit them one by one. I used a backround image as skin modifying the original separator2.bmp and its mask file. Here it goes.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RoboDad:
Using a background image that incorporates the frame/border is one way to solve this dilemma, but you do pay a (modest) price in memory for each new background you add to separator2. What I did for my theme was to create a new image that is just the frame, and then add a new Spb.LSP.SimpleBackgrd object to the MRU layout for each icon I am displaying. The only catch is that the SimpleBackgrd object apparently can't be completely opaque, or it obscures the actual icon. But, setting the mask for the frame image to a very light gray (for example, RGB values of 216 where 255 would normally be used) fixes that problem nicely.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] luiggi:
Yes, it costs memory....

I realized on your approach which is great and definetively your 2.6 KB MruBg.bmp file is way smaller than my 160 KB separator2.bmp. But I think I can afford it to get the enhancement I was looking for to make it match with my UltraLaunch theme, thanks for the hint!

By the way, thanks also for the idea to incorporate time in the secondary screens, looks good and very useful for me!!

X button lock and sleep device

Hi I would really like the x button on the shell to lock and suspen my device. At the moment I use a link to DeviceLock to do this from the recently used screen.

From following this thread and others I understand it is possible to lauch an app for the contacts.

Is it possible to do the same for the close button? Or can it be replaced with another button. That can call an app?

I copied qa_weather_small_lock.dat to a new file and called it qa_weather_small_lock2.dat. Then I changed the image size to 128 x 2176 and plugged in the Stardock 128x128 icons.

Then in layout.dat for the LockScreen I changed the plugin to this new weather file and basically that was it.

I did change this a while ago, so perhaps I am forgetting a step. If you have any problems please let me know.

RoboDad.... Again Great Layout + Skin!

Was wondering if you could help me with some code?

I really love what you did with the Pinned program page icons!!!!

I see that you added background image to each pinned program...

I would like to do the same for the 4 Pinned programs at the top of my 12 launcher page. First of all let me tell you, in my layout I don't have a complete page of Pinned items but have 2 - 12 Launcher pages with 4 pinned items at the top. I saw some of the info in now and mru DAT files but could not figure out how you did it...

Wondering if you could look at my Launcher.xml file and see if it is possible?

Thanks cicncij !!

For a moment I thought that we had a way to stop dealing with square icon patterns but looks like is still the same... For the weather screen I changed the original ones in qa_weather_lock.dat to 120x120 and made some layout changes in the weather.xml, nothing fancy but files attached for those interested.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RoboDad:
It is very possible. I've attached a copy of your Launcher.xml file with some changes that should enable the backgrounds on the pinned programs. You will need to get a copy of my theme and copy the MruBg image and mask into your theme (both the qp_bkg_now.dat and ql_bkg_now.dat versions), and then you should be good to go. You will probably want to tweak the positions of the background images, and you may need to size them down a bit. MruBg is 40x40, but it looks like the rest of your launcher icons are 36x36.

Unfortunately, the Games folder in SPB doesn't automatically link in the Games folder on your device. You will need to use the Customize Menu applet (under the Settings menu on the Launcher tab) to manually add each game that you would like to include there. It's a pain, but that's the only way to do it, short of someone writing a script that automates the process.

Now I'm using this theme and I found a problem with it: When I jump into Now screen, everthing in it is clear, transparent so I can see the whole background picture (see pics 1, 2). But when I move into some 2nd layer screens below Now screen there always is a theme-color-used bar at the bottom of screen that crosses some part of the background picture. And last, the worst thing is in the weather screen (and some other screen) the background completely disappears :(

My question is: Why does it happen? Does this theme lack of any files or is there something wrong with it? How can I fix it?

Thx 4 reading.

Custom Sub-menu

In the menu section, I was wondering if there was a way to add an auto-populated folder. For example, Under the "Multimedia" section, I can create a menu called "Videos" and manually add video files. What I would like to be able to do is similar to the "Programs" item, which auto fills with everything in the programs in your start menu, and have a section auto populated with videos I put on my SD card.

The only thing that seems to be different (that I've found) is in the registry, the "Programs" item in the menu root is Type - Program, whereas other folders don't have the "Type" registry value.

Would that mean that these are hard-coded into the app?

I would even accept the ability to link directly to a folder in file explorer, but that doesn't seem to work either. When clicking the link, it just takes me back to the main menu area

Further Investigation

Good news! I made several trials and found that if you add an item to My Menu as a file (not link) and this item is an exe (again, not lnk) or a file itself (not an application) then the icon can be any of the available ones. So now we can customize a lot of things and having extra mru pages makes sense. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cincij:
Great find luiggi! Thank you very much!

I had kind of given up on finding a fix for this. I think I will store the MRU's for all of my targets in my Organizor menu, as I don't use this menu on my Launcher. Then I will be able to use these custom icons on any screen.

Has anyone tested if you can use the larger size icons for MRU's via registry edit or something?

U have to decompress the file qa_layouts.dat (see how above), open Weather.xml find the string <Int Name="NoBackgrd" Value="0"/> then add this string <Point Name="Separator3Y" X="0" Y="-320"/> right after that then save & make the new qa_layouts.dat to override itself in \Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell folder.

Chance for a second Speed-Dial ?

Hi there,

i use the PointUI Theme and changed the grapics the way i want the phone to work.

Since for me the phone is first off all a PHONE - i think it's quite useful to have more than the 15 speed-dial pics.

So i changed the Programs-icon to another Speed-Dial Icon. So far - but now ?!!!

What do i have to change in the Registry to display another set of Speed-Dials ?

Any hints ?

It should be possible - since the "prada-black" theme has 3 Speed-Dials.

Try searching for Personalizer 3.0 I think that is what changes carrier's name. Using my tilt to type this if not I would have provided link.

Try this

A little bit off topic, but it doesn´t matter... It´s in spanish but the images are self explanatory. You´ll need a reg editor.

Hope it may help you

Of course you need to find your operator number, in my case 33403 for Movistar Mexico
