Any way to do so?

I am in love with spb shell, i gave up WAD and WA3 for it, however i miss the ability to recall running programs, which get minimized to taskbar while using WA3. It there any way to display running programs except going thru the loops to taskmanager??:(:confused:

I have one question can someone post how to use the themes or install them successfully onto the phone

thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cincy1020:
Choose which layout you like, then download and unzip it. Copy all the files from it to: program files/Mobile Shell folder. Then soft reset.

Unless of course it's a cab file, in which case you simply put it on your phone, click on it to install, then soft reset.

searched

and noticed that people lost weather updates a few days ago, I just installed ms 2.1 for the first time on my Tilt and am running greatbals skin but the weather won't update, and yes I chose my city, Boston MA fyi. Is anyone else having a problem? I don't need SPB Weather right? Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mtkates:
Install translucent icons

Just install Diamond Burnt Orange theme (or any other Diamond theme should work), then install qp_menu_btn.dat file from the Windows Field theme and soft reset.

Weather

SPB Weather is not required but weather in Mobile Shell is limited and can be unreliable at times.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cincy1020:
Glad to hear it :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :

Thanks. :)

Another question: Is there any possibility to open the SPB dialer instead of the standard phone dialer if pressing the green button?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marfanuk:

bosox15,

Mobile Shell is locked to Gismeteo's weather server, and they are experiencing server issues at the moment. They say it will be working fine again soon, so no need to buy Spb Weather unless you want to customize weather sources anyway. Check out this thread at Spb Club for more info.

I just got a T-Mobile Wing.... I know, I know, not the Greatest Phone, But I am a long time Blackberry user, and after reading this thread, I picked a wing up off craigslist. My question is this: If I install SPB Mobile shell, will this theme run on my wing? I did a search and could find no definitive answer...Please forgive this noob if I the answer is clear... but I am a total PPC noob. So far I really like the OS, and the Wing is not too bad of a device. Thanks in Advance!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] richabi:
yes, spb works on window mobile devices

http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshell/?en

the wing comes shipped with WM

http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=1068

this theme is portrait AND landscape modes so it will work when your keyboard is open or closed.

welcome to the community. you can now consider yourself smarter

check the "launcher.xml"

open my files, go to "layout.dat" & open with winzip using the password ..check the "launcher.xml" & you will find the trick you need

you need to copy the plugin lines from the default layout at the begining, and copy the lines under 240x320 & 320x240 layouts too

hope this helps
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ameet:
hey marfanuk.. thnx brother.. can u guide what exactly does this proggy do?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] samuelcaddick:
It does exactly what it says on the tin!

Every time that the Today Screen is invoked, the plugin captures it and jumps you into Mobile Shell... you never have to (or get to) see the Today Screen again.

A word of caution: if you decide to uninstall Mobile Shell, make sure you untick or remove this Today plugin BEFORE you do so, otherwise you'll get a never-ending string of errors whenever the Today Screen is called up!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ameet:
lol.. now u tell me.. i already hard reset my phone for this.. installed this lil baby before installing mobile shell and voila the phone shoots up string of errors :D

word of caution for all users! ;)

could someone add in the start icon.. even if its not functional. i think it would add to the theme. i keep switching back from my WAD2 theme and SPB Theme.. the main thing i like about the WAD2 theme is that it has the start menu and the notification icons are on the bottom buttons. if some could add the start image into the SPB theme i would greatly appreciate it :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Bob_55:

I have been reading the entire thread, and some great skins created !!!

I have a Samsung i780, and whilst realvga looks slick, the fonts are just too small for my old eyes, plus without realvga it is a lot easier to use my fingers instead of the stylus.

I know at present there isnt any skins here that work on the Samsung i780 without realvga, but does anyone know of any that do, or are being created.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Brenn:
Take the icon files from the dat file you found them in use "bmf018zq" as the password to extract the specific icon bitmap file. When working with the icons be sure to flatten all layers and save the bmp as 16bit r5g6b5 mode and the mask as 8bit indexed or grayscale bitmap. Name your saves the same as what you extracted and drag them back into the dat file.. use the same password to re-encrypt the file.

When I overwrite icons I have used layers so I put the new icons on a layer over the old so I can place them exactly. I then add a red fill layer behind the new icon layers and flatten. Duplicate the image and do a gray scale, then brightness/contrast til you get a more black background with white shadows for the icons to show up. Again, flatten and name as the mask.

Don't know if this is where you were stuck but it is the method that worked for me when creating new icons.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] brianlau:
Thanks for the heads up man. sorry to be a pain in the butt, but have you done this with the program shortcuts tab? I personally use that all the time and would actually replace the 16 quick launch programs with the usual menu screen that a lot of people use, just more user friendly and practical for me as I still use the start menu to get to certain programs. Great work man.

Do you know what the issue was with the original theme? I personally think that is the best theme / setup for me so far but that landscape thing is a big flaw.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] brianlau:

because at the moment there is no simpel way in the diamond skin to turn on wifi and turn on flight mode and bluetooth. would be awesome to have that icon incorporated

here's what i got so far after modifying greatballs theme.. put the start button at the top left, actual diamond top bar at the top, used mtkates code to put the appointments on the now screen & status icons without the background.

is there anyway to put the status icons vertical? instead of email/sms/missed calls all in a row? any help would be appreciated :)

spb diamond theme

real diamond
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ahmedfikry:
yes

its possible

move the graphics to be vertical in the file "status & staus_m" inside "qa_status.dat" file

get the dimensions of the new vertical iamge (my guess that width & hieght would be the opposite of what it was)

then go to the file "index" also inside "qa_status.dat"...then change the icon width & hight to match the new image...thats it...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ahmedfikry:
i will fix the white diamond theme to have all tabs

soon you can have it in all kids of "layouts" once its finished

Then all of a sudden you both come up with great contributions. Thank you and all the talented artists in this forum for their contributions, A special thanks goes to Greatbal cuz most of the features I've incorporated is his work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluemetalaxe:
hallo. i made nothing special, and its not perfect, but i like the orange aurora theme for greatballs mobile shell skin so i

made some backgrounds/graphics work for other apps

in this style: s2u2, setvolume, splashscreen, tumbcal and wallpaper (all basic graphics found here at xda devs)

Edit: - when charging the corners of the clock in s2u2 are gone, because they are part of the s2u2 background. Just repalace your old clock folder in s2u2/gfx with then new clock folder, replace batteryg.png and redcircle.png with my new ones and change the background to the one in the zip

- download this skin for setvolume: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=2321573 and then

you can only replace the background of setvolume after a softreset before you start setvolume for the first time

- the splashcreen has the correct name and you just have to put it in your /windows folder of your smartphone
