Spot on bit of work mskip, i've installed the latest VGA/WVGA version on my Xperia X1 and it's running fine - no lag and no issues.

[Windows Mobile Themes] accnas:
Any installation guide ???
[Windows Mobile Themes] chrisalyd83:
sorry....

to run BomByX v2.1, just copy files that are in the .zip to your storage (or sd card).

go into scripts folder

clic on mortscript.exe and on OK

then clic on install.mscr (prefer choose French for the moment)

clic on OK

(spb ms3 will reboot)

go on add widget, then Application, then Settings, then BomByX and clic on the tux-butterfly icon to add BomByX widget to your lifestyle.

enter the BomByX menu and then enjoy customisation.

Im not aiming this at you but its getting really annoying when people start adding all my widgets into other packs without so much as asking if its ok to take months of my hard work.

Makes me feel like just keeping all new widgets to myself and letting other people figure it out for themselves. I dont think im going to publish any new releases for a while :(.

Other than that its a nice compilation but its pissed me off that I wasnt even asked permission to include my work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] chrisalyd83:
hi mskip !

excuse my english to reply to your post....

i did not want to be nasty by publishing your widgets into my soft, but i prefer consider that this publication is a tribute to your really great job.

i mentionned your name into all my posts about BomByX v2.1 ans your widgets kept their original names in my soft.

your job is so popular that all members in playeraddict.com asked me to put your widgets into the widgets injector section of the soft.

i'm really sorry if i hurt you by adding your job into this soft and i ask you to forgive me quite a little in late.

if it really disturb you, just tell it to me and i will delete your widgets.

BomByX is just a soft that helps users to install and adapt SPB MS3 to their taste.

playeraddict.com and I are very sorry if our approach of your job hurts you :(

don't stop to do such a really good job and give me news if you want me to delete these widgets from my soft.

Respectfully

Thank you very much and I hope you have fun setting your phone up exactly how you want it :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] -BK-:
Thanks mskip for this wonderfull tool! :)

I was wondering if there is an operator-name + signal-strength widget in this package?

I am looking to have the signal-strength be shown on my screen, and if possible both!? (I am using an Acer DX900 with dualsim)

Keep up the good work!

Regards.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Strangely enough Spb Mobile Shell includes an Operator Widget with signal strength but it has a drawback in that you cannot move it around like the other widgets. When added it pops up on the first screen in the top left corner. I can make a version for the basic or ultimate version and put the Operator widgets on the main lifestyle screen in the top left or right corner but once on there you cant take it off or move it.

Its upto you :)

Combine SPBshell 3.0 skins

Is it possible to combine SPB Shell 3.0 skins from the site IMARCHE ( skin pakage 4.1 With Bombix 2.1 ??

The pakage from Imarche has a lot of languases and bombix only french en englisch If anybody can do that. you will have the greatest spbShell 3.0 costumizer ever
[Windows Mobile Themes] -BK-:
If you could make it work that I can see both the operators and signals of both SIMs, this would be great! Top left & right wouldn't be a problem.

My Acer DX900 came with a (modified?) SPB MS 2 which can do this!

TIA for your help. :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] chrisalyd83:
if you use SPB Skin AND BombyX there will be a conflict because both inject a new qa_layout.dat during the installation.

for langages, i'm open to add new installation files and langages but i need some translators to do that....

if someone is open to work on it, send me a PM ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] rebecker:
Thanks. I appreciate your response. I tweaked your files a bit as best I could to create this battery to fit in proportion to a 4-across contact layout. I don't know what I'm really doing, so a fair number of parameters were left unchanged. If, in fact, you do work on a new QVGA battery, this is what I'm looking for.

Thanks again for all your hard work.

Does Battery Plus (Medium) not fit in that space just right?
[Windows Mobile Themes] rebecker:
Sorry. I just realized that Medium is the same. It's really only the type size that doesn't work for me. I'm an old man...my eyes are failing me. :p But you might consider creating a battery size (not that I need it) between the big and the medium.

Dear Mskip,

I must say that you have done an amazing job and given us an opportunity to customize the look and feel of the phone to our taste and preference.

I am sure you have put in a lot of effort, but I had only one query, which if possible and time permits you can be an enhancement to the great job done by you. Is it possible to have a photograph displayed from the album (phone memory or storage card) on one of the lifestyle pages, similar to what we could have in Manila touchflo

How do I add a menubar to the lifestylelayout on MS301 Widgets Pro Plus ULTIMATE 062?

Not really happy with the placing of widgets at the bottom of the page, prefered the menubar but its missing from the latest MS301 Widgets Pro Plus ULTIMATE 062609.

Any idea on how to do this?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
No its not
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
What arent you happy about the placement? If you make whatever widget you wish to put at the bottom "small" (click on the widget and select small) then you can place it exactly the same as the original menubar. I can make a non-ultimate version but you would lose all the editable space at the bottom.

Can you take a screenshot while the screen is in editable mode so I can see the box that surrounds the widget.

I will make an "extras" version later today with the 3 buttons at the bottom and "non-editable" menu area. The buttons will be Launcher, Task Manager, Favorites unless the populus decides otherwise.

Hiya!

First of all I'd like to thank the creator of the widget plus/ultimate pro! It''s awesome!

I do miss one thing in my mobile shell(perhaps it is already there but I can't find it..?)

I'd like to see my pending tasks in the homescreen, just like you can see the calendar items'(so a to-do list, not the program tasks currently running).

Is there a way, perhaps with a widget, to achieve this?

Thanks!

[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
You can overwrite any .dat file you want but in order for it to take affect you have to restart MS3. If you have Mortscript installed on your device theres a nice little script to close MS3 and restart it automatically after a few seconds. Just rename the attached file to RestartMS.mscr and place it in your Windows -> Start Menu folder, then run it to automate the process it saves alot of effort especially when you are testing widgets :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Thats really wierd I just cant seem to replicate it on my emulator and noone else seems to be reporting that problem (had someone with a Touch HD WVGA phone test it and it worked fine) maybe you had a problem when you installed it. The only thing I can sugest is to uninstall Pro Plus Ultimate and uninstall Mobile Shell 3, soft reset your phone and then resintall both cabs and see if you get the same problem. If you do that and still get the same thing happen then I will make up a 3 button "Extras" version today for you.

[REQUEST] Notes widget

Hi,

i have a request/idea. Well the idea is not mine. My girlfrend has SE phone (c902 - the Bond one ;) ) and it has a nice feature. You can leave notes on the main screen. I haven't seen such thing for SPB Shell. Maybe it has been requested before, but combing through over 300 pages of this topic is more than i can handle, sorry.

Anyway, I'd love to have a widget, that can display a small amount of text (written to file?). After clicking the widget you could edit it (Word? Notes?).

You COULD just make a shortcut for Notes app, or any other, but i think it's very useful to have some info available instantly (reservation numbers, todo lists, etc.)

What do you think, would it by any good?

[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
I use Corel PhotoImpact to make all my images as I find it ALOT easier to play around with than PhotoShop, then I use Gimp to save then in the correct format. Theres no real step-by-step instructions on making clocks but here goes:

* unzip an existing clock to use that as your base

* The clock.bmp must be 16bit colour (R5G6B5)

* The clock_m.bmp is your transparency mask. It must be saved as 8bit greyscale, white=solid, black=fully transparent, so if you make the background of the mask black with the face of the clock white then the clock will be solid, if you make the clock face light grey then it will be partly transparent..

* You will have to go through the index.xml file yourself to change the settings accordingly depending on how much you change the clock. If you dont change the size of the template clock at all then the index file should be ok.

*zip everything back remembering to password the file with b0fm18zq

If you start by keeping the size of the clock the same as your original image and just focus on the style and getting to grips with the mask then you can get more daring as your confidence grows.

It took me ages to become fully confident in creating clocks from scratch so take your time and play around with it. If you need any more help just give me a shout.

Adding extra page to carousel... I have a thought, many people like the idea of the pro and the lifestyle pages, but do not like the idea that the pro page cannot be edited.

I found the key that adjusted the definition of each page, I currently use it to eliminate the pro pages, making the pro and the lifestyle page point to the same screens.

Creating the new screen and adding it at HKLM/software/spb Software House 2/Spb Mobile Shell/NowScreen/Layouts/HOME to the default key, should effect the change. When I get the chance tonight I will try it and report back.

Then I will have a lifestyle screen that is set to way I like it and scrolls left and right, then I can sweep up or down and get to the "new" pro screen, work oriented information, and that sweeps left and right....

[Windows Mobile Themes] overhaulengines:
hello, if you changed your registry, then use reg edit in task manager to export the registry files you changed, ie if you changed HKLM\spb mobile\etc etc.

to back up you personal settings like pictures, favorites, your lifestyle screen etc. go to launcher, spb mobile shell, then click the button on the lower right and it should open a window with the options, back up settings, restore settings and exit shell, from here back up to your storage card and then when you reinstall or hard reset and reinstall mobile shell, just restore, also do a google search for Sashimi or just look at the bottom of my signature, its awesome.. blessing

[Windows Mobile Themes] vince1080:
Yes you can backup the 'customize the lifestyle screens' into your external storage. From Spb Mobile Shell, options panel, tap the Menu button and select Backup Settings option. Fill-in the requested fields and tap Save.
