Is it possible for you to release the source for that exe?

EDIT: I will PM the author, sorry for polluting the thread.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ElAguila:
Is there any way to group the widgets when you are editing the layout. I have a few small ones that I want to keep in a certain cluster but I want to be able to move the cluster on the page without having to move each widget one at a time if possible.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
That would be really useful but its not possible sorry.

[Windows Mobile Themes] ojessie:
@mskip,

once again thanks for developing my personalized launcher-agenda-contacts application. I just recognized that with the calendar small widget is something curious. Using this widget and selecting in settings auto or as much as possible it shows only one appointment although there is enough space for three appointments. Selecting two shows two appointments. Is this a bug?

Regards, ojessie

SPB Mobile Shell 3 <-> Facebook-Login

First, sorry for my english

I reformatted my Windows Mobile device, and reinstalled Mobile Shell 3.

Since doing doing, my Facebook contacts sync widget is not working. It keeps saying that the 'Internet connection is failing'.

However, my Internet works fine with other all applications, ie. Opera, etc.

Anyone, got any ideas?

Thank you

Inesoft?

As i prefer InesoftPhone4 more than the built in SPB how can i make Inesoft the default application?
[Windows Mobile Themes] natefish:
Mr. Mskip, Mr. Zepii, or any Mr. who might know this:

Is there a way to install your (mskip's) widgets and still use a custom background? I love mobilecustom's skins, but I really want to still use your widgets. Sorry if that question has been answered eons ago.

Also, is there a way to make SPB Weather show the current temperature in the weather widget instead of the high/low?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] omek07:
HELLOOOOOOO

Can we have it for WVGA ??? I have htc HD ... .Thanksssssssssssssssssssssssss
[Windows Mobile Themes] natefish:
Helloooo, when you quote something this big, can you please delete some of the pics and texts. It really wastes space. Sorry to sound picky, but...well, sorry.

As to your question, have you tried the VGA version on you WVGA? I have QVGA, but usually WQVGA stuff for SPB MS3 works fine on mine. For instance, the mobilecustom skins. Hope that helps.
[Windows Mobile Themes] natefish:
Sorry to repost. Didn't want my questions getting eclipsed by the big quoted entry above.
[Windows Mobile Themes] omek07:
thanks and sorry

I will try ...
[Windows Mobile Themes] lkfxxx:
Hi mskip,

Just got the ultimate(QVGA), looks great.

I notice that you set Lifestyle to have 7 pages but i can only see 4pages.

Is it because my phone is WQVGA (240x400) ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Bogy54:
WeatherPanel will work on the Today page, and if you use the "Widget Injecter" it will put a widget on a Lifestyle page that will give you the current temp, or even a more detailed weather report. I've been using the widget injector since this was first posted here and been following the development, and haven't seen any way to put it into the Professional screen.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
The next post after my Pro plus always has a version with custom backgrounds and instructions how to use them. Im not sure if thats what you mean.

I dont think the weather widget actually shows the current temperature so I dont think its possible, sorry.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Im starting work on resizing all the new widgets so I can make a new update for VGA/WVGA. Should be released this week all being well :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Bogy54:
If you want the current temp injecting the WeatherPanel widget seems to be your best shot.
[Windows Mobile Themes] pbv302:
Looking forward to it! (Got me a Diamond 2 now...the old one didn't like being washed together with my work wear...)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
You should have 7 screens on lifestyle (left, Home, 5 screens to the right).

Shouldnt have anything to do with the model of your device since its just a registry change.

You can try reinstalling the cab or download the attached file, then delete the .zip from the end of the filename and install.
[Windows Mobile Themes] lkfxxx:
Thanks for the help, it works.

Also, I am having the same problem as ojessie.

The Auto and As Much As Possible will only show 1 appointment.

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Themes] baldoski:
Sir mskip,

I need help.

I cant install the the Ultimate ProPlus. It's the one you posted at Ziddu with an extension of .cab.zip

As instructed, I deleted the .zip in the filename and tried to install on a new and clean installation of MS3. But it says "unsuccessful". I soft-resetted and tried again, but still the same result.

What could have been wrong here?

Sorry, i took so long to ask for this but I was away during the weekend and i have my hands on the PC just now.i'

i'll PM you to let you know my personal e-mail add, if that's ok.

thanks...

EDIT:

Mskip,

nevermind the PM. i got it to work now. thanks to burtcom's mirror D/L site.

fiddling with the widgets now...

thanks a lot...
[Windows Mobile Themes] busychristian:
THANKS Bogy54 for the reply, just had to ask...Can you help me with the contacts, I would like to use iContatc instead of SPB contacts thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Bogy54:
How do you want to use them? I use both iContacts and the SPB contacts, depending on what exactly I'm looking for. I use the iContact widget on a Lifestyle page, iContact also is what comes up with Start/contacts. But I use mskips ultimate widgets with Contacts on the bottom menu. That one opens up SPB contacts. The easiest for you if you want iContacts to link from that location is to use mskips choice with nothing specified on the bottom, and you can put the iContacts widget in yourself.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mwalt2:
I just fixed this on my phone tonight. I opened PIE and logged into facebook.com (not the mobile site) and checked the box to remember my login info. I then soft-reset (not sure if it's needed) and was able to get the SPB facebook to work. It did not ask for a login. I also have read that using your wifi connection the first time you try instead of the phone's internet connection fixes that error as well (wifi not needed after initial setup). I did not try that method since the other worked for me.
[Windows Mobile Themes] baldoski:
sir mskip,

Just noticed something...

my HTC task manager button (the one at the topmost, after the battery) is missing..

I soft-resetted but still not there.

But when im out of SPB it is there (Titanium or M2D).

why is that? anyone experiencing the same?

what can i do.

I tried to install an HTC task manager cab but its not working either.
[Windows Mobile Themes] henrik.s76:
Sounds great! Cant wait fpr it to be released!

Even tried the qwga but that one didnt work at all on my wvga Xperia, even the background images got placed on top of eachother and so on.

So whenever its ready ill be more than happy to try it! Need any help testing please let me know.!

Thanks again mskip!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] mivec:
I try all the steps but I could not get it to work in my Touch Pro 2 as there is no [Toggle SPB Mobile Shell] after I install the SPB mobile Shell 3.

Can some one please enlighten me on this?

Ok thanks I will let you know when its ready for testing :)

Ohh and DONT install QVGA version on a vga/WVGA device it definitely wont work lol :p

[Windows Mobile Themes] ali1010:
Hi!

here's my feedback to mskips latest ms3 widget pro plus ultimate (wqvga):

AWESOME!!!!

faves:

- invisible widget

- all the tab buttons

- any 3 apps at the bottom (lifestyle page)

- new clocks

To get away with the lagging ( if using the buttons from widgetsproplus folder):

- instead of spb menu i use programs folder ( using invicible widget bcoz i cant change its icon) which i organize using file explorer. making new folders and cut paste app links to their designated folder

- agenda to calendar app (thumbcal)

- contacts/ favorites to phonex favs

My 2nd page lifestyle is quick access to fav apps and the 7 bottom buttons are the spb menu categories

Thank you mskip!!!

Great job!

I am also using voldeus msconfig v14 but prob on scroll pages so i just selected few panels. Hoping for the next update

Thank you voldeus!

keep up the good work!

thanks also to other great customizers/modders for making MS3 B-E-A-utiful.
[Windows Mobile Themes] sir_hc:
Hi,

Is it possible to backup my MS3 Lifestyle widget layout, so I don't have to do the same job after evry hard reset??

Thanks!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] ali1010:

theres an option to back up or restore settings
[Windows Mobile Themes] sir_hc:

Hope this will do the trick!! Cause I'm planning to try a lot of Roms to deside which is the best for me and my Touch Diamond 2!
[Windows Mobile Themes] busychristian:
Thanks for the info Bogy54, I would like to use iContacts on the bottom of the page were the thumbs are..where the history, fav and then spb contacts...that is where I would like to replace the spb contacts to iContacts..thanks again for your help....sorry for not being so tec..

I have been able to use AE Buttons Plus mapped to a single press of the up or down volume button on the HTC Touch Pro to execute the app Zapit. This then closes the current application running, like the X button would if the taskbar was visible. Will test with the Toggle Start setup on Mobile Shell to see if it works. I allow a long press of the volume button to activate its usual function.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Zahurtex:
Can you pls see what I am doing wrong... because the icons are not matched to the appropriate folder as Tools should go with the Spanner and Messaging should go with Envelop.

I had copied files from zipped SPB_MS3_WM7_1 with FondEcran only.
[Windows Mobile Themes] natefish:
Appreciate the feedback. That's sort of what I am going for and I have certainly used that custom background solution before. However, I really want to use the custom skin like mobilecustom posted HERE and then still use your amazing widgets in the lifestyle home.

So, the end result would be mobilecustom skin on the professional home and your widgets on the lifestyle home. Hope that helps trigger some ideas. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jgjackson:
Do you mean the problem where Change Background on the Lifestyle screen doesn't work? The work around for that is to first delete \Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell\Background.dat, then it will work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] natefish:
no, not trying to change the lifestyle background. Just want to use mskip's widgets with apothouse's skin. Is it a matter of which I install first? I thought I tried it both ways [insert "that's-what-she-said" joke here], but I could be wrong.

Fix to lagging menu buttons

Hi Mskip I'm a great fan of your work and have been playing with the issue on the lagging widgets on the menubar. I found that if you create registry entries like in the attached file and add them they run perfectly.....

You can create shortcuts/widgets with this method for any screen or panel in spb.

Regards RustyOmnia:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Fantastic job mate I tried for ages to get that working I must admit im not an expert on registry editing. Im a bit busy resizing EVERYTHING for Pro Plus VGA would you mind making the entries for Favorites, Launcher and Spb Contacts (I have the image numbers so no need to look for them). Then I can cook a new cab up and Pro Plus Ultimate will finally be perfect :D

EDIT: Nevermind I got round to it at about 2am :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] Devileyezz:

[Windows Mobile Themes] shaolinsoldier:
I tried importing the REG entries, but had no success.

EDIT: nevermind i was having a dumb moment...
[Windows Mobile Themes] 2005:
Hi,

you have to unzip the file spbmenu.zip on your device and import it with a registry editor. unfortunately, are al the names in German : ( you can manually change it in everything you like;)

HKLM / SOFTWARE / SOFTWARE HOUSE 2/SPB SPB MOBILE SHELL / MENU / ROOT /***

here open the text files and change the name.

if you copy from my previous post all the files on your device it looks much better:)

I hope I have helped you.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ElAguila:
Is there a way to change the links so that when you use the spb menu for file exploring tools it uses Resco Explorer instead of the windows file explorer?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Bogy54:
If I had a clue as to what your problem is I'd let you know. I know that the "Favorites" under the "Internet" tab in the widget menu in MS only shows the favorites I have in Opera. I don't know if MS is set up that way, or if Opera is the one that appropriates that setting. I'm sure someone here knows more about this than I do. Since my earlier suggestion is working for me I have a hard time figuring out what problem you are having.

WIDGETS PRO PLUS ULTIMATE TRUELY IS ULTIMATE AT LAST :D

Thanks to RustyOmnia for working out how to place the Spb Menu Shortcuts on the Lifestyle screen WITHOUT ANY LAG opening it. I made shortcuts for nearly all the Spb Menus and rearanged the SpbMenu Screen to make them easier to get to when adding them. This truely is the ULTIMATE version at long last.

I would strongly advise uninstalling any previous version and installing it on a fresh version of Mobile Shell to avoid any potential problems. If you just want a quick upgrade from Ultimate 18th June or you have the Extras version and want the Spb Menu Shortcuts in your LifeStyle screen then you can simply install the attached cab.

I have ammended my main QVGA Post already so this is just taken from that.

To add Spb Menus to the screen on Ultimate version: Select Menu (bottom right button) and Add Widget. Select Application from the Shortcuts section then click on the Spb Menus Folder and select one of the available shortcuts you want to place on the screen. If you want to place it at the bottom as a Menu Button then select it from the screen and make it small then move it to the bottom.

Just updated the Ultimate Edition to add the Contacts Carousel to the Spb Menus list.

Both cabs will accomplish exactly the same thing and if you dont need or want Contacts Carousel link on your screen then you dont need to do anything.

Alignment of home screen

Hi,

First of all great wk with the pro widgets addition Mskip, impressive stuff.

I was trying this for a couple of days and then all of a sudden after a call the home screen alignment was out of wack, the background i was using moved to the right by a few cm's, enough to look annoying.

soft reset, uninstall, install etc, i just couldnt get it to correct itself.

I have it working now but whenever i install the pro widgets cab again, eventually the background goes out of alignment or i lose the 2 main tabs (launcher/contacts) as well. Cant figure it out???

Any ideas?

Ps. I have a HTC Touch p3450 and installed the correct version being QVGA.
