[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pcarvalho:
hi there.. great forum!!

my first post ever here.. i did not like the launcher layout verry much...

so made a small change in its layout (background color is the same not like in picture, picture was a basic cut n paste in photoshop)..

just made the smart links go to the bottom...

hope u like it ;)

more too come...working on clock now..

more sugestions are welcome

changes where made for 240x320 size devices cause i only have a htc cruise 2 play with...

just replace file on device and soft reset...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Super EmericAn:
If someone made a program to make the launcher open by sliding your finger up, that would be SICK!!! Like insanely sick.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cincij:
Wow pcarvalho! Great job hacking the layout.

Can you please tell me if I can adjust one of the XML files to remove the recently used files altogether? I would prefer 3 additional menu buttons there, but I think even a blank space would look less crowded.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] littlerain:
How to do that? i cant find the file to modify
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pcarvalho:
actually you sould be able to remove them..

just open up

Launcher.xml

that is in qa_layouts.dat

look for:

(...)

<Plugin Class="Spb.LSP.Generic" Name="r0" ID="0"/>

<Plugin Class="Spb.LSP.Generic" Name="r1" ID="1"/>

<Plugin Class="Spb.LSP.Generic" Name="r2" ID="2"/>

(...)

the r0, r1, r2,...,r9, rA, rB refer to the small shortcuts...

searching later in the xml file you will find:

(...)

<Layout Name="240x320">

<General>

<Rect Name="IconRect" X="0" Y="0" Width="79" Height="65"/>

<Rect Name="TextRect" X="0" Y="65" Width="79" Height="25"/>

</General>

<Plugins Extends="Default">

<Plugin Name="r0">

<BoundRect X="0" Y="0" Width="39" Height="45"/>

</Plugin>

<Plugin Name="r1">

<BoundRect X="40" Y="0" Width="39" Height="45"/>

</Plugin>

<Plugin Name="r2">

<BoundRect X="80" Y="0" Width="39" Height="45"/>

</Plugin>

(...)

this is where they are placed...

deleting the lines for the ones you what to remove:

<BoundRect X="__" Y="__" Width="__" Height="__"/>

and that should not make them show up...

but i have not tryed that yet...

instead i now removed the lines between buttons and added 2 horrizontal ones..

so now the first line i use for pined shortcut and the bottom one for MRU's...

Have you tried doing a downwards swipe from the taskbar to the middle? Real vista stuff!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dick Starbuck:
this thread is very encouraging as I was becoming disappointed with MS2.0

keep the tweaks coming. Please report if you can get rid of quicklaunch in the taskbar.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] robosiris:
Looking sweeter by the moment:D. Iphone, vista, and additional icons would be fun-tastic.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] met3ora:
This is getting awesome, guys.

Does anyone know if we can make our own menus? Perhaps replace menus, like the organizer, edit it with our own shortcuts? That would make me love this program to no end!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bigruss:
Oooo, nice :-D Another 'feature request' would be to remove the four icons at the bottom which switch between the mobile shell screens and close it - these can be accessed by gestures anyway and so are redundant, and we could use the additional space for more apps/shortcuts/menus. I have no idea how to do this, but am hopeful.... cheers russ
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cincij:
I am unable to do any editing to the qa_layout -- Launcher.xml file. Any changes made cause the SPB Menu screen not to load. If I open to the Now or Contacts screen it will not scroll to the SPB Menu in the middle either, it just loops back to the screen you are currently on.

Any ideas?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] macguffin:
Have you swapped the signal strength icon (top right) with the profile selection icon, or were you just out of signal?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] met3ora:
"Mode avion" would mean "Flight Mode" :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] macguffin:
of course it does :)

Has anyone tried to add the profiles from the 'professional screen' to the 'classic screen' ?

I mean who needs such a big signal strength meter at the expense of being able to easily but the phone on silent etc.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] meatgel:
I also own SPB Phone Suite and my profiles are on the now screen ... maybe just from phone suite. It is helpful.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] martyotaku:
wow lepsyfou that is a awesome looking screen!!!....may i please have the files to make mine look like that.

Thanx

All credit and Thanks to pcarvallo for helping me get the layout I wanted...in particular the separator in each of the screens.:)

Well done for getting there. It seems there's a great new mod every 5mins.

I do like the idea of having the notifications on all the screens!

Spb Weather - Version 1.7.4 (Mar 14, 2008):

***This was just posted on Spb forum***

On Friday, March 14th, Spb Software House released Spb Weather 1.7.4.

This upgrade is free for all registered users of Spb Weather 1.X.

New features:

- Integration with Spb Mobile Shell 2.0

Please download Spb Weather 1.7.4 from:

http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/prod.../download.html

Thank you for using Spb products!

Sincerely,

Spb Weather Team,

Spb Software House

http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/weather
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
Is the integration the only new feature? Just curious, because if so, I thought that was already establishen in Shell 2.0?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] degavi:
just found the no grid have to look some more for the icons in bottombar
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mchapman007:
Shell 2.0 has a weather function but Spb Weather is more detailed and "More Money"...... There is also a Spb Weather 2.0 Beta but this release was to get the MS2.0 integration...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
OK...I am very sorry if I seem ignorant, and maybe I should just try it and see for myself LOL, but what would be the difference in Shell's weather display if/when I upgrade? (I am sorry if it is a stupid question, I will be upgrading anyway (silly not to), I am just curious).

P.S. Any idea what they are working on in 2.0 (or is it all hush-hush)?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mchapman007:
There working on 2.0 now but don't know of a release date yet. Details unknown.... :cool: Wink - Wink
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
Kinda figured that with a beta, but thanks for the info, it's interesting to hear that stuff!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RoboDad:
First, I want to thank everyone for all of their amazing work, and the inspiration it has been for me to tinker with my own Tilt. I have yet to do much with my Now tab, other than to improve the battery gfx, and I haven't touched the contacts/speeddial tab yet, but I thought I would share a few images of my device in progress.

As you can see, I have implemented an MRU tab, but I have run into a problem trying to enable more than 12 icons. I thought I have covered everything that needed tweaking, but obviously I am still missing something. Ideally, I want to have 16, so that there is some consistency between the tabs. I tweaked Main.xml to add my tab, and my new mru.xml has been created with 16 placeholders for icons, but only 12 show up. Any suggestions on what I might have missed would be welcome.

I also included a shot of my Today screen, since I kind of like it, too, and I still find it useful for many things.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
RoboDad....Great look there, wish I could impliment that one myself!! Good work!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pcarvalho:
i have already implemented a 18 mru (can be modified as needed 18 is the max recomended im my opinion)... as soon as i release it you can see what you are is missing.. i hope to release all tomorrow... good work
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RoboDad:
That will be great! Your work has been a definite motivator for me. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MobilePhoneUser:
Resources?

Where is Resources located please? I need to add a 9th icon...

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mackaby007:
Need some more help please....

Hi all. Can anyone tell me how to change the background color to pitch black (000000). Can it be done via color code or does it have to be a bitmap and if so, how do I go about implementing it? Many thanks in advance.

I'd like my 3 screen backgrounds to be as black as the taskbar background.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pcarvalho:
that one is in qp_menu_btn.dat inside file menuicons.bmp

just add another at the bottom...

Hi pcarvalho

Great looking work ..hope we can get it soon

i have 2 suggestions:

can we have the option to use your digital looking clock font or the original smooth iphone looking clock font

also, the bootom bar icons are black & white, do they change or become color when that page is choosen?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pcarvalho:
it is possible by layout... just remove definition of background and/or define color to 000000...

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pcarvalho:
well.. you will all have the option to customize as you like... given you know the basics... else just ask and someone will help you...

the bottom icons are as screen...very small color change in them (my ultimate objective is to remove them anyway)... they were my 1st try and will be improved later...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pcarvalho:
can anyone tell me if there are any command lines to switch bluetooth/phone/wireless? if so please let me know.. i have a little idea i'd like to put to the test ;)

by the way... cause some were always saying something about the close botton.. well...

i just killed the close button...

4 bottom icons = 4 menus (but wait...how does one close now? well gesture down rings a bell)

this also means one more space for another menu...what could it be? yes indeed what could it display? dont know...yet! what plugins existe? and if they do...screenshot them in action so i get inspired!!!! :)

gotta be quick about this... cause on sunday im going out for a week... and i want you all 2 have this before...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oyegaurav83:
i dont know if it will help.. but you can take a look at vjvolubilis

http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJVolubilis

it is an exe with different command line parameters for bluetooth, wifi etc..

and for plugins.. i dont have any screenshots but you can add pocket plus and/or spb diary.. so atleast i dont have to go to today screen.. :)

dat files are renamed zip/rar files.. you can open them using winrar..

they are password protected.. password is somewhere on page 2/3

@lepsyfou, @pcarvalho

After several changes, using the skin produced by lepsyfou, fonts of buttons "Full screen dialog contact" are coloured blue, and then not visible, what must change in order to return to the original white as in here?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] luiggi:
My 5 cents

Nothing fancy but just to make the bottom tab match with my Kaiser theme
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KukurikU:
can anybody post for me the original digital clock?

where can i change the color of the contacts (mobile, send text..) same like ddborello's post!

also please post the original spbshell.txt (english).

Fabulous work!! Landscape complete too. Now all you need is to make it into a cab file.:p

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gfreek:
As I had some free time I thought I'd give it a shot and tried to edit the qa_layouts.dat to get rid of the grid but don't know what I'm doing wrong when I copy the file back to my device SPB Launcher menu does not load!:(

I'm using winar and doing the following:

-first rename from .dat 2 .zip

-open

-with password b0fm18zq

-extract

-made the changes and save

replaced in zip

-then encrypt using the same password

-save and close

-rename 2 .dat and put in ppc done.

Is it because I'm using winrar instead of winzip? problem is I've got Vista which unlike XP does not let you password encrypt zip files hence I'm using winrar or have I missed something???
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] j.a:
Thank you! installing now!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pcarvalho:
will make it when i find it is complete, still many options open, meanwhile someone could make this into a cab file and name it: pcarvalho spbMS2 Addon :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pcarvalho:
i 2 use vista... and have no problems with winzip... have you reencrypted the file... sounds like not! do it...search the posts i already said how to many times...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] edu23:
very very nice icons, great!!!

Do you have the full icon set?

This would be great if you could share the icons.

This would be very interresting, to use this icons for ulrimata launcher.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mackaby007:
Finally released!! Great Job.

Thank you for this pcarvalho and all your effort in helping us all as you went along producing your own add-on pack. Cheers again.;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lepsyfou:
very good job my friend pcarvalho :D, what's is bugs in this pack? :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pcarvalho:
just some very small ones... only visible to a keen eye ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pcarvalho:

Add-on Not working

Tried to install your add-on pack, but when I try to unzip it, it reports that the files are all broken! I tried re-downloading, but with same result....using winrar, 7-Zip.

It also says that it is the wrong password for qa_battery_small.dat

Not sure what to do now.:( Any ideas pcarvalho?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
I know I am harping on a minor issue, but I was wondering if anyone in here was in a position/desire to work on a tweak to Shell like pcarvalho created, but for a 240x240 screen? If I had the knowledge of how to do it for myself, I would do it and release it myself, but I haven't the faintest idea how LOL!!!

Thanks for any thoughts or replies!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pcarvalho:
file is just fine...

use pcarvalho as password...

inside the zip there is a folder named pcarvalho and inside it are the files...

copy those to your ppc...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pcarvalho:
it should be very easy... as 240x240 is like 240x320 without the bottom taskbar... unfortunatly i have no device with such resolution... the biggest and hardest work has already been done by me... trust me ;)

"Messaging Freak" 3 Page Notifier layout

Added Separator on Launcher and Speed dial... (Big thanks to pcarvalho for figuring out how to get the separator on additional pages)

Also changed the speed dial page layout by increasing quick access shortcuts to 12.

The Now screen does not have any changes from original MS Layout.

I have built this for 240 x 320 ( should you use landscape the original MS layouts is used, Don't use this if your screen resolution is other then 240 x 320)

Changing Gesture Sensitivity/Distance?

Is there anyway to increase the "Close/Minimize" gesture distance? All too often, when just trying to press an application icon and my finger moves just a little bit down while I'm pressing it, instead of launching the App it goes to the Today screen.

Thanks in advance for any help on this...it's really annoying!

Yes I did re-encrypt the file with the same password but still didn't work! I've got winzip on vista and can encrypt but cannot password encrypt like you can :( is there setting that I should look out for? I'm still trying to get my head around vista:-/

Thanks cincij for pointing that out, it works now:)

Awesome reworking pcarvalho, only minor point and it may well be specific to my Trinity but the first digit for the clock is too close to the second. It's 19:35 and froma distance it looks more like 8:35.

I now need to dig through this thread and do the registry change to allow the 9th icon to show and work.

that is one of the minor gliches... will improve with time :)

@pacarvalho,

The 4 page is really fantastic, thanks for this work.

Just a question, how can i have the same icon for weather and profil?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pcarvalho:
dont know if that is "doable"... well it is... just make one and set it in layout as a link to page X (dont know where or how yet, but its possible)... not very normal this request... since they represent the actual state of weather and profile...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fga:
I just want replace the icon of profil and weather with touch icon style.

My icons are spb style.
