Favorites Menu

Hi Miki,

Before installing Changeskin, under SPB, when you'd press the menu button (button to the left on the bottom bar) it would go to Favorites and Recently Used programs....but now Changeskin takes me to the menu on the right (organizer, internet, multimedia, tools...etc).

Can you tell me how to make it go directly to Favorites instead of that other Menu cause it takes an extra click to go to Favorites? Thanks.

in case case it's relevant, using an Omnia and SPB 3.

Someone answered this I'm sure but I can't seem to find it. I have 4.1. installed with the 4.1.2 upgrade. Everything seems to work fine but the digital clock on the lifestyle screen is still small/medium. How do I get the large clock? Right now I only have a mini Diamond clock.

Thank You,

Jester2043

You have to select large digital clock under widgets.

I'm using ms3 latest imarche skins Release 4.1.2 WVGA on my Touch Diamond 2 and using the Skin Background Generator I have a problem. I can use my own custom background if i choose Luna but if I choose Kyro I can only get a solid black background and not the skin I chosen. I have tried with many backgrounds :(

[Windows Mobile Themes] trexflyer:
Hopefully someone can help. I've got an i910 omnia with MS3. Installed changeskin 4.1 and everything worked great and was able to scroll left & right to switch to 2nd professional page and lifestyle layout. Installed skin pack and lost the ability to switch screens from prof. layout. Updated to 4.1.2 changeskin, still no luck. Also I don't have the extra carousel window to select wallpapers, I was really hoping to get that part working as well. Any ideas how to get those items back?

MS 3.0.3?

Hi Miki. Thank you for the 4.1.3 update! Where did you see the MS 3.0.3 beta? I went to the SPB forum where they posted the 3.0.1 betas but didn't see it there. Can you maybe post the link. Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Goran_:
Hello MikiBest, you have created an excellent add-on for ms3. Here is what I think it could easily be added to this excellent software:

- to allow user to change the buttons on the bottom bar (to pick from the predefined lists of buttons). Example, now you have 3 buttons on it: Spb menu, Weather and favourite contacts. Some users might consider Launcher to be very important button fro quick access.

- to add/remove pages on the carousel. example, checkbox for Time page, weahter page, contacts page, etc.

- option to choose number of lifestyle pages

- option to show/hide top start bar.

- to allow bottom/up bars to be transparent (dont know how difficult this one will be).

Cheers, and keep up the good work. ;)

Hi MikiBest I've got a couple of minor problems, now using your latest skins 4.1.3 and Mobile Shell Version 3.0.1 Build 6488.

1. I can save my created themes but when I go to load my theme it loads up everything but the background stays exactly the same as it previously was. Everything else changes like the icons etc but not the background.

2. As I stated earlier I cannot create a background that will work with KYRO, it just stays black. If I create a background using LUNA it works perfect.

I have mortscript 4.2 installed and my device is a HTC Topaz

Add widgets to spb mobile shell skins 4.1?

Hello MikiBest.

I was wondering if it's possible to add some of mskip's widgets to your brilliant theme changer. I would love to have his vertical and horrisontal lines, and the backround for the icons.

Is this possible.
[Windows Mobile Themes] MACkjam:
Thanks MikiBest!!! Great update.

I have a small request. Could you make an option for HTC and SPB Mobile Shell buttons for the bottom bars?

Many thanks once again.

I'm using MS 2.15 with the 3.2 release of these excellent skins on an Omnia.

Sometimes tapping the icons on the Programs page doesn't work. The icons open up a bit, then close back down. Once they stop working only a soft reset restores full functioning. I haven't been able to find any particular action that seems to cause the problem.

Anybody else seen this?

Love the program.

Just installed the 3.0.1 official update to SPB Mobile Shell on my HTC Touch HD and now having trouble getting the correct skins version to work with it.

Installed 4.1, then the 4.2 update over the top with option to "replace all files" and then v.3 again with option to "replace all files" but 4.3 generate a pop up error that it cannot access Vp_menu_btn.dat and the sking program doesn't run.

Searched for help on Vp_menu_btn.dat but no help found related to this issue.

So uninstalled all and repeated process stopping after version 4.2.

Is 4.3 matched to the official 3.0.1 release or only to Beta 3?

Thanks.

SPB Weather intergration

Hi all,

I am using SpbMobileShell3.0- and "Skin Changer's" WVGA-Skins_Release4.1.3_Update

Is it possbile to use the Skin Changer's Weather Skins in SPB Weather.

The new skins show fine in SPB Mobile Shell 3 - when you click on the weather icon it takes you to SPB Weather - however it uses the SPB Weather skin and not the one made by Skin Changer.

Have tried to find a fix for this issue through most searches but can't find anything on this.

Anyone can help me please??

Otherwise very happy with both products and very impresses with Skin Changer

(Imache - thank you)

I'm using a HTC Touch HD.

Sorry should thank Miki Best -

Did not Know this thread was here

I honestly dont remember seeing this thread before, I found out about changeskin in another SPB MS3 Thread and was going straight to MIKI's website and PM him (I actually found it after he included the link in PM).

Anyway, I am very surprised that this thread doesnt see more activity than it does. This is such a great tool, and very stable, not to mention that you can install it on an SD or CF card with out overwriting your main SPB file. The customization process is so easy to use and though he has multiple backgrounds to choose from, you can easily add your own if you like. Maybe most people are using Lifestyle Widgets and Modification. But if you havent tried Mikis, you should, it creates some really slick layouts and is actually alot of fun to use. Of course this is my personal opinion, and yes, I think MSKIP is a genius too!

[Windows Mobile Themes] MACkjam:
I agree. iMarche skins are the simplest and easiest to use. It even has a background generator and I have used this to create several nice themes.

It's a pity that this thread isn't more active.

Hide the Taskbar in the Lifestyle Panel

Miki

How do I hide the taskbar in the Lifestyle Panel? I have installed ToggleStart which allows me to hide the Taskbar, but then I get a black bar at the bottom of my screen. I have tried editing the menubackgrnd files, changeing the "white" to black, and even editing the menutab file. It did nothing. Look at my screenshots below.

1st one is without Togglestart

2nd One is with Togglestart and xml edits to place the widgets lower on the menubar area.

Thank-you

Maybe if the title of the thread included the name "Spb Mobile Shell 3.01 SKINs" it would see more activity, just a thought.
