I like the look of the topbar of wb3 w/ InD 05 with MS3. I was needing to know how to get them both work together like shown in your pic. I was wondering if I need to uninstall MS3 first, install wb3, install InD 05, the reinstall MS3. Thoughts anyone?

Hi Abumhmmd1,

Simple questions (I think)... How did you get "No alarms" to appear on your Today page? If I have no alarm set on my device, I get no text appear at all...

Thanks,

Anyone wanna try?

Over on Mobilecustom the French site, I have found what I think is an awesome theme...

Currently I am using Berry 66..gotta show love for that...

But I ran across this theme Smoke..link attached.

http://www.mobilecustom.fr/forum/index.php?topic=1479.0

It is unfortunetly WVGA..and since I am not lucky enough to have the Touch Hd...

I was wondering if any of you amazing SPB3 theme makers and developers could make this VGA..

And thought u might wanna add this to the post ZEPIII..

Keep up the amazing work all..

ZEPIII and Abumhmmd1 special thanksfor all your hard work!

[Windows Mobile Themes] error_911:
So I install SPB Mobile Shell 3 on my Palm Treo Pro, and I'm really liking the interface vs. WM6.1, but I've got a slight problem I can't seem to get around.

First of all, installing the shell disabled my Windows hard-key (which would bring down my start menu). It now functions as a 'home' key, bringing me back to the SPB Today screen. I've tried a few things but am pretty new at WM, and am not getting very far.

Secondly, since having installed the shell, I'd set Internet Explorer to full screen. The problem with this is that without the Windows hard-key functioning, I can't get out of 'fullscreen' mode when using IE. I tried running the 'restore to default browser' tool, but it didn't do much good.

Any help would be appreciated ;).
[Windows Mobile Themes] acidbath5546:
Ohhh Okay....that very understandable...

Would you perhaps be able to add a ZIP download as well then...

I'm having trouble installing the second Life Style Home panel on my Touch Pro. I followed Murasan's guide as best as I could and I thought it worked but the second Lifestyle Home panel in the carousel is all black and I can't click into it.

Any help? In the qa_layouts.dat I put the xml file LockScreen3 in along with LockScreen 2 and LockScreen but was I supposed to edit anything inside the xml other than add the 2 after <String Name="RegKey" Value="HomeScreen"/> ?

I'm not sure what I did wrong but if anyone can help I can post exactly what I did. Or if the .cab file is still out there a link to a download that would just install it would be great -_-

[Windows Mobile Themes] joshrys:
actually what i want is to be able to 'Add widget' > Application > and be able to see the apps in my storage card. Right now it only lists shortcuts that are in the start menu (i think). Many of the applications that i have installed are on the storage card and do not have shortcuts in the start menu so they don't show up.

I guess i could add a shortcut for all the programs i want to the start menu, but that would just make the start menu humongous and cumbersome to use.

[Windows Mobile Themes] naatul:
Hi issybel/garo_viper... really appreciate your efforts for developing the widgets without touching the existing dat and the xml files. Specially when everybody is facing a big challenge of having all configuration in a common qa_layout. If not then every new cab can override the earlier qa_laoyout. Making installable like this i.e. simply copying the files and adding new registry entries is a real cool solution for installing widgets without affecting existing ones. Thanks a lot.
[Windows Mobile Themes] issybel:
naatul

thank you buddy,that's the reason why i created a xml file and called it widgetsplus and I'm hoping for every one in the thread to use it as a standard,so when ever there's a new widget,all what we have to do is update this file and share it with everyone,and like this all the themes overwriting problem will be solved,but unfortunately some people keep insisting about using the cab, because they don't know the nature of how the widgets work,then i decide to ask mskipto help make cabs for those people as he's good in doing that,plus he puts out a note for anyone that chooses to install the widgets that way as a temporary solution till we find a way to solve the problem all together.

issybel / mskip,

You guys are rocking this forum (off course a big thanks to Zepiii for getting all this thing started, and also all the contributors).

I agree to you issybel, it is a good idea to have all custom widget etc in the the new xml widgetsplus. If it is not too much then, may be you can prepare a small guideline for all the contributors to use the widgetsplus as a standard and, that guideline should be made sticky. All those who are going to contribute can follow it as a standard. This way none of the existing MS3 functionality will be affected and we all can still enjoy the custom widgets contributed by others.

Thanks once again all of you guys for making my Omnia Rock.

guys hi!!! trying to figure out how to fix the screen on today. it`s zooming the picture and ot sucks. I found a post of one guy but I don`t know how to open .dat file. can anyone guide me through this process. either here or in private. I`d be really happy :) thanx
[Windows Mobile Themes] gravityz:
thanks

just what i was waiting for.

offcourse it took me 5 minutes before i realised it did not work and i had to put it in the qa_layouts.dat file

so for all the beginners out there who are still thinking how to do this

1) copy file qa_layouts.dat to your desktop

2) rename qa_layouts.dat to qa_layouts.zip

3) unzip qa_layouts.dat (use password b0fm18zq)

4) copy widgetsplus.xml to the same directory were you unzipped the rest

5) zip all unzipped files to qa_layouts.zip with password b0fm18zq

6) rename qa_layouts.zip to qa_layouts.dat

7) copy file qa_layouts.dat to your mobile device

Deedee, thanks for the tip - I guess I forgot about that tab after I decided I'd see what 'enable 3d accelerator' did for me ... lets say that didn't turn out too well.

After having enabled the start button override, its still not working though. Now when I press the Windows hard-key nothing happens, until I touch the screen - it then brings me to the settings screen.

... Now I know thats not how its supposed to work ;).
[Windows Mobile Themes] loftysnake:
I think these 11 numbers correspond to the digits "0" to "9" plus ":" in the digits.bmp and digits_m.bmp files in the vp_dclock_modern.dat or vl_dclock_modern.dat files. They specify (I guess) the number of pixels from the right of the bitmap to start putting the digit into the time rect. Using such scheme in formatting the time will give a more nature look.

But some panels like call log, launcher, spb contacts,favorite contacts, spb menu remain with a non transparent bar.

Which xml files do they correspond and how they get tgransparent, because they dont have menu bar option in order to do the prementioned trick.

Ever thought about the possibilites that program/contact links hidden behind invisible icons could bring to MS3? Just to name a few: Hiding your girlfriends as hidden contacts, replacing MS3 functions by just placing an invisible widget over the real function (for example rerouting to your favourite SMS app or calendar), etc.

3Shirts over at Spb Club has found a way.

Hidden widgets in MS3

"Basically I created a shortcut with a blank icon and then added a widget which points to that shortcut. This creates a blank widget (as long as you select small or medium without text).

What you need:

SK Shortcut Manager (or similar)

A dll containing a blank icon (http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=123437&d=1224523078 - link provided by kramerica2)

A file manager (Windows one is ok but Total Commander or Resco are better)

What to do:

1) I created a new folder inside the 'Start Menu' called 'Invisible versions'. For each program I wanted an invisible button for I copied the shortcut from Start Menu to this folder. I only did SMS-Chat and ThumbCal to start with.

2) Unzip and copy the attached blankicon.dll to your phone, doesn't matter where as long as you know, I put it in a folder called Icons on my Storage Card.

2) Open SK Shortcut Manager and scroll to the 'Invisible Versions' folder (folders are usually at the bottom), double tap to open it and tap once on the program shortcut.

3) When the program you want is highlighted red, tap Actions > Change Icon

4) Browse to where you put the blankicons.dll and tap it. You will see a 'list' but there is only one item, a blank icon. Tap that and then tap 'Set Icon'

5) Repeat 2-4 for any other programs you want then hit Tools > Exit

6) Now on your lifestyle page just add an application widget and point it to the invisible icon shortcut you just made!

Bingo, you have an invisible button. Remember that whichever widget you positioned last will be 'on top' so a good use for this is to place several invisible thumbcal widgets on top of the calendar so whenever you touch the calendar thumbcal opens!

I also used it to place SMS-Chat on top of the SMS notification widget so I can launch it instead of the default SMS app."

Here is a tut to change a shortcut icon without a shortcut manager:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=499403

After program link just add ?[Icon-Container-DLL],[Icon-CODE]

With VJPhone you could add a hidden shortcut to directly dial someone:

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

Note that XDev member jgjackson in his professional widgets collection over at Spb Club has premade small and medium invisible widgets

Scrolling of home layout screen

Has anyone found a solution how to scroll the homescreen from the leftmost screen directly left to the most right screen. Instead of going right through 3 or more pages. Like the 3 contacts screens do.

Would be very convenient.
[Windows Mobile Themes] orlandojumpoff:
Is it possible to get rid of the launcher and contacts buttons at the bottom, so that only the carousel launcher and widget options are left? With the abundance of room on the provided lifestyles pages, i find the launcher to be worthless (could also be seen the other way around, but i prefer to use the lifestyles pages). I'd like to get rid of those two buttons.

Widgets Pro Plus for Mobile Shell 3.01 beta (for QVGA and WQVGA) 10thMay2009.

NOTE: BEFORE YOU INSTALL THE CAB, USING A FILE EXPLORER, COPY YOUR QA_LAYOUTS.DAT FILE FROM PROGRAM FILES\ SPB MOBILE SHELL TO YOUR STORAGE CARD IN CASE YOU WANT TO UNINSTALL THE CAB, THEN YOU CAN COPY THE FILE BACK TO MOBILE SHELL AFTERWARDS AND GO BACK TO YOUR ORIGINAL LAYOUT.

MS301 Widgets Pro Plus 051009

Contains all the widgets, install to device memory then soft reset and they are ready to use (no extras included in this version).

MS301 Widgets Pro Plus Extras 051009

Contains all the widgets as in the MS301 Widgets Pro Plus cab.

PLUS a Task Manager is added to the Carousel Screen (see picture).

PLUS a 3 button menu on the Lifestyle and Pro screens (the extra button is to the Agenda Screen as I thought that was most useful, see picture).

PLUS 2 buttons on the Weather Screen (Lifestyle Home Screen and Contacts Screen, see picture).

PLUS an extra contacts page (click on contacts and then swipe your finger on the screen to the left to bring up the extra screen), this screen is fully customizable.

There are 2 small niggles with the extras cab, on the Lifestyle screen when you click menu and then edit layout the Agenda button doesnt disapear but this doesnt affect anything. Also you cant go from the second contacts screen to a different screen with a finger swipe, you have to press one of the menu buttons or press the ok key which takes you back to the Lifestyle screen.

Enjoy :)

VGA Big Weather & Big Battery v2 Widgets

I make some kind of a second version for the battery :) The differences are:

- Now the widget has 16 different images (old one has 5)- the blue pieces in the battery will be removed one by one

- The new one is a little bit more shiny and noticeable

- I think it looks better :rolleyes:

To install it over the previous version just change the va_battery_now_big.dat attached in the zip file.

I put the other files in this zip file too so it's not necessary to go back to the old post and Zepiii can change the link in the first page directly to this post

As sugested by Baldoski try uninstalling you Widgets Pro Plus cab and Spb Mobile Shell, soft reset, then reinstall Mobile Shell 3.01 beta and Widgets Pro Plus (standard or extras), soft reset and try to add the new widgets.

I too would like to know. I prefer the professional layout, but would love to be able to run a background/wallpaper on it.
