If you put WeatherPro medium in the free spave of DigitalClock Pro then in looking for the text to align at the bottom. The same with DigitalClock Modern Big and WeatherPro small (the text at the bottom "should" line up).

Also if you place some Tab Buttons on the screen from the Mods Section, and then place any widget ontop of it (wireless manageris an easy one) to see if it looks ok (framed properly).

See the attached screenshots for more clarification :)

If you still need help I have 1 hour left before going to sleep. :D

Only a question: have you never thought to use an emulator? I just tried to install MS3 on my old device emu (WM6) and .. it seems to work!

It would be really easier for you work with the real resolution. ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
pm sent with the latest test version :D

where can I find a VGA emulator?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Nicaragüense:
finally back to ms3 from titanium. i managed to get a new battery dll at modaco and now my ms3 actaully shows the actual battery life that the system shows :). its still somewhat erratic but at least it matches what the system says.... crazy omnia!

anyhow, sorry to those whom have requested things from me. i have been working alot so i have not had a chance to help out around here.

Dreamspark

I use Microsofts Visual Studio 2008, maybe you did not get my pm about it? Anyway, you can get a stand alone version from Microsoft too. If you are a highschool or college student(or maybe have one in the house)go to Microsoft Dreamspark, you can get the Full Version of Visual Studio 2008 and other really great developing tools for FREE! See, Bill Gates really is a nice guy!!

I found it but thats like a 4GB download lol is there a standalone VGA Emulator available?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Siliconstar:
I downloaded it from Microsoft for free a couple of years ago.

I think it's still available (probably a newer version).

I've forgotten to say that I changed the weather skin reference in WidgetPlus.XML to point to va_weather instead of qa_weather for DoubleSkin.

They are still wrong in this release so all weather widgets but Weather Plus (Soft) don't show any picture.:rolleyes:

For the emulator, remember to download the Operating System (ROM) from http://www.microsoft.com/DOWNLOADS/...a8-1dd7-426f-a913-4f370a65a582&displaylang=en (WM 6.0 - all languages) or http://www.microsoft.com/DOWNLOADS/...1E-C093-4B15-AB0C-A2CE5BFFDB47&displaylang=en (WM 6.1 - english only).

icon tweaks?

Oh dear. I'm about to commit some kind of mistake--wrong thread, been discussed, should already know...something. So I apologize in advance, but when I searched, I came up empty-handed.:o

This is about icons. I have several hundred icons I'm quite fond of. However, since SPB mobile shell 3 uses .dll for icons, the program doesn't recognize my png, ico, jpg, tga, gif, bmp, or any other icon format I've tried. So how do I convert my icons into something Mobile Shell 3 can digest?

Thanks,

sfrrr

I really want this clock too.

Somebody has to know where to get it.

Please share.
[Windows Mobile Themes] MACkjam:
This screen is MikiBest's iMarche theme v4.1.3. It is the Diamond Digital Clock Transparent option.

His website is here for the downloads:

Be sure to follow his instructions. You need to download and install v4.1 first under Full Packages here:http://www.imarche.net/omnia/fullpacks.php

then v4.1.3 update under Updates section here:http://www.imarche.net/omnia/update.php

I don't know whether post #2305 in the thread can help you or not?
[Windows Mobile Themes] loftysnake:
For the lifestyle customization, you can save it to a .mso file using the following procedure:

- At the lifestyle menu (or professional menu), click the "launcher", then "Spb Menu", then "Spb Mobile Shell".

- Click "menu" button at lower right end of the screen to activate a popup menu.

- At the popup menu, click "Backup Settings"

You can then backup the customization to a .mso file. You should save the file to Storage Card so that you can restore the settings after ROM flash. After ROM flash and re-installation of Spb Mobile Shell. You have to copy all your customized files such as qa_layouts.dat etc to your Spb Mobile Shell program directory. Once Spb Mobile Shell is activated, you can do the above step again. But this time click the "Restore Settings" instead to recover your customization.

For the ROM flashing issue, sorry I don't have the experience to provide you any advices.

Do you have the imarche program installed on your phone? I just need to know what the widget entry is for the DClocks to work on my Pro PLus.

In the clock skin it says the class is DClock but that doesnt seem to work :confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
When you restore your contacts after a flash it restores the link to any contact pictures you set up previously. If you look in your contacts program then the picture will be re-associated with that contact which means when you add the contact to Mobile Shell Favourites the picture will show.

Downloaded a WM6.1.4 Device Emulator FREE from MicroSoft and loaded it with Mobile Shell so now I can test my work in VGA and WVGA :D

Still doesnt beat an actual device but I guess its the best workaround for now :)

Pro Plus VGA/WVGA out today (hopefully).

Then updated Pro Plus QVGA/WQVGA (and possibly SQ320) to follow.

Is it possible to get a black Diamon flip clock?

Is it possible to get a black Diamon flip clock?

And how do I install it? How do I make a .dat form the zip?
[Windows Mobile Themes] MACkjam:
Just rename the .zip to .dat. and vice versa. You need the zip password to open it though.

Here is the black digital flip clock dat file. Just rename the extension to .dat.

I would imagine you just copy it into your Spb Mobile Shell program folder and overwrite existing file. Just make a copy of original file somewhere on your device first.

Let me know how it goes.

mskip, is it possible for you to put together, a cab for the bottom menu bar to have: Launcher, Show Today, Contacts, instead of having Agenda in the middle? I would appriciate it. This is for VGA btw. Cant wait for VGA pro plus, love your work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Siliconstar:
I tried to extract some Diamond dclocks from the pack, but they don't work in MS3.:confused:

I checked the Index.XML inside va_dclock and found references to "Hour1","Hour2","Minute1" and "Minute2" that are no longer supported in v3.0

Then I made a new XML file and had Diamond Black to work, but not as expected so I had to invert also Digits bitmap.The other versions seem to need a complete redraw so I'm a little confused.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Really hope so :p I would love to continue development on VGA/WVGA and the emulator I found is good but its nothing like being able to work on the real thing.

Thanks alot but somethings not working im afriad.

Replaced the file but it still shows up with white digits? Even restartat the phone and tried to add the widegt again? Im using a wvga Xperia. Any ideas?I only need the password to unzip the file not to change the name or install it do i?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Do you have one of those Digital clocks working on your phone? Can you send me your qa_layouts.dat file from Mobile Shell please so I can see how its listed. Thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Haha thats wierd.. Maybe if you stand on your head it will look right :D

Its really strange because theres a qa_dclock.dat ma_dclock.dat and va_dclock.dat in the installation files and the appropriate one gets installed to your device but theres absolutely no call for it in the widget list.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Theres no way to get "Show Today" on the bottom bar that I know of. Theres only a certain amount of screens that you can show at the bottom but you cant put applications on there unless you hack it to pieces. Maybe I will make that my next task after ALL the Pro Plus cabs are out :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Themes] MACkjam:
Aaaah that explains it. My file is for QVGA only I'm afraid. You will need to download the WVGA one for the Xperia from iMarche's Skins.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Siliconstar:
Maybe they are not used as additional widgets.The file name suggests they are used to replace original xa_dclock.dat, but I'm still wondering how they can work.:confused:

However now I have another Diamond clock (black) widget now.:D

[Windows Mobile Themes] cbusguy26:
I think you posted your response before I finished my edit. Yest I'm using the English version and your cab works perfect.
[Windows Mobile Themes] matthewhypolite:
cool. 1 note.

when making the qvga version of the clock, the battery and weather widgets had to be slightly altered to be perfectly compatible with the clock.

so for you wqvga/omnia users, if the battery/weather does not overlay perfectly with the digital clock, just post a screenshot, and ill adjust the settings to suite.
[Windows Mobile Themes] matthewhypolite:
i've just tried the install on my tytn ii and it works fine. please re-download the cab and try again.
[Windows Mobile Themes] htckaiseruser:
the InD05 skins looks great!
[Windows Mobile Themes] gruvngyrl:
I just installed it on my Omnia and it works great! I had to find a place to stuff my clock so that I could easily access my alarm clock, but other than that, everything seems to fit quite nicely, and everything I want on the screen is there (aside from the weather icon not displaying current weather, and instead showing highs/lows for the day... hmmph).

Attached, you'll find a screenie for reference.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Mattster_spv:
Thanks Matthewhypolite. Works fine on HTC Trinity P3600.

For users having problems:

After installation of cab, you need to exit SpbMobile (not just do a soft reset). You do this by hitting LAUNCHER (2nd icon bottom), then "SETTING" (2nd icon on top) then "SPB MOBILE SHELL" (bottom right corner icon), then "EXIT SHELL".

This will shut down Spb. To restart. Just click on right soft key on today (Spb Home).

Hope that solves issues that some people were having.

Mattster.

Calendar/Agenda from Pro Screen?

The thing I'm having a hard time figuring out, is I've seen some screen shots in this thread that have the calendar (maybe only 1 week), and today's agenda on the LIfestyle screen. It pretty much looks like the Pro screen, of course with the flexibility to customize. IN fact, like Mattthewhypolite's screen .

I cannot find or figure out how to get those things on my Lifestyle screen, and I've seen no mention of it here. Everything I've found while browsing through the widges just puts an icon on the screen.

Any thoughts?

Just so that I'm sure... when I copy the new clock.exe into Windows, and I get the warning that I'm about to modify the ROM, I'm supposed to agree and do it anyway, right? I don't mean to be dense, but I get nervous about doing anything that might brick my phone after having a bad experience with a lovely little iClone I got from ebay (that I loved to death, until it crapped out on me).

Also, regarding the second thing that skymario quoted, can I really just paste the clock.exe into another file somewhere and have G-alarm still replace the default Windows alarm?

And last question, since I have SPB Time installed (which I actually really dislike), when I click on the clock on my Lifestyle screen, then click on "next alarm", it takes me right into SPB Time. If I implement the G-alarm modification, will it the same steps then take me to G-Alarm, or will I need to uninstall SPB Time in order for that to happen?

Oh, and last-last question (sorry! Lol...) will G-alarm show on my Lifestyle screen in the "Calendar" widget, since it now displays the alarm from SPB Time (or is it the default Windows alarm? I can't really tell.)

Found the trick.The correct file was not va_dclock.dat but va_dclock_big.dat (found in 4.1.2 update).In this file XML and bitmaps are correct.Still don't like digits alignment (time moves when it changes), but now they all work (soon I'll adjust XML files to correct the above problem and better center digits).:D

Lots of thanks to everyone who helped test the cabs in various stages and especially to SiliconStar who helped me fix some of the resized widgets and made the large analogue clock :D

If any of the widgets look low quality its because I had to resize them up from QVGA. Let me know what ones dont look good and I will try to make them look better.

Im worn out now lol I need a good nights sleep :p
