Well, I haven't tried Mathewhypolite cab, but I can share my own files that works in my HD (WVGA only).

1. Previously, I shared a cab in this post for those who only want to have the Big Digital Clock available as Widget in lifestyle panel. I attached it again here.

2. For those who, besides, wants the professional status icons, I can share my qa_layout. If you replace it in your PPC, the status icons you have for "all items", "sms" and the other are the Prof. Warning: if you only replace this file, and you haven't installed previosuly the cab for Big Digital Clock, you will have problems with that big clock, because it needs registry changes included in the cab.

3. Finally, for those, like me, who wants an enlarged and centered clock and date (see image below), you can replace the last file I am attaching, the vpw_dclock_modern.dat. That way, you will have space enough at right or left to place there any widget you want.

Remember, this is for WVGA only.

Cheers,

I've same problem too. I can install cab, and when I want to add a widget, I can see BIG DIGITAL CLOCK in list. but, when I clic on item, just leads me to chose program, and wont add anything to my layout. PRO ITEMS are same. after installation, I cant bring them to my layout.

I found out why it didn't work. The files from the CAB was placed in /program files/ while my Xperia with Swedish interface places the programs under /program/

I moved the files to /program/ manually instad and made a soft reset, it worked!

That have to be fixed in the cab, so that it'll look in the registry to find the right location of the program-folder.

[Windows Mobile Themes] fronc:
For those having problems with MS3 VGA Big Clock cab I posted previously, I think I know the problem!

First off: VGA Only

Second: Soft Reset

Third: MS3 Must be installed to device memory, not storage card.

To fix the third issue, navigate to /program files/spb mobile shell/

Then copy qa_layouts.dat, it should be the only file in the folder.

Then paste in the /storage card/program files/spb mobile shell/ dir

Soft reset and you're money.

Can somebody post the qa_layouts.dat file for the various Pro widgets that are in the WVGA Cab? I can mod them for VGA.
[Windows Mobile Themes] cypher!:
TRY IT ON OWN RISK!!!

I made it for the Touch 3G -Jade- QVGA 240x320 See picture

In my version both types (lifestyle and professional layout) of status icons (all items, sms...) are still useable.

Don't know how to build a cab which does it automatically - but here how to do it manually ;)

1. Download my qa_layouts.zip

2. Rename it to qa_layouts.dat

3. Rename your qa_layouts.dat in the SPB folder in qa_layouts.dat.old

4. Copy my qa_layout.dat to the SPB folder

5. Use Total Commander to change the Registry:

5.1 go to

/HKLM/Software/Spb Software House 2/Spb Mobile Shell/WidgetList/4/DigitalClock

5.1.1 change Default to "Digital ClockProf"

5.1.2 change Str to "ModernDClockProfi:Widgets"

5.2 go to

/HKLM/Software/Spb Software House 2/Spb Mobile Shell/WidgetList/1/

5.2.1 Create 5 new Folders with Total Commander -> File -> MkDir

5.2.2 Foldernames: StatusP, StatusEmailP, StatusMissedCallsP, StatusSMSP, StatusVoicemailP

5.3 copy the "default" and "str" from the folder "Status" to "StatusP" and so on (content of StatusEmail to StatusEmailP...) got it?

5.4 Go to the first "P" folder - for example StatusEmailP:

5.4.1 change Default to "Email Pro"

5.4.2 change Str to "StatusEmailP:Widgets"

5.4.3 do this accordingly with all Default and Str entries in the "P" Folders

("SMS Pro" / "StatusSMSP:Widgets" and so on)

6. SOFTRESET

6.1 Pray :-)

Due to this reg entries you can choose between the default icons and the ones from the professional screen!

Show Us Your MS3 Device Screens

All,

Given the great work being done in this thread by the likes of MSKIP, ISSYBEL, etc, it struck me that it might be a good idea to start to see what device screens people were pulling together. It could inspire us all!

Now rather than clutter up this thread may I suggest that people post here...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=399614

I'll try to be more clear, sorry.

I want to press "Launcher" and go to the first picture below (named "favorite") as I believe is default behaviour from SPB. As it is now, it goes to the second picture (named "grid") which I guess is called SPB Menu (I barely use it).

Hope this clarifies. Thanks.

Nature Weather Icons with no weather description.

Here are the files with no weather description or bar.

va_weather files are for VGA/WVGA.

qa_weather files are for QVGA/WQVGA.

64 files are the large icons for the weather page.

54 files are the smaller framed icons for the lifestyles widget.

The files are here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=3793550#post3793550

Tips: if not using my layout

In weather.xml

Change any reference to 54 files to 64. This will make it so that the large icons are used.

To fit the 64 files, change the position of the weather icon to x=88 y=88.

For QVGA/WQVGA

In Lockscreen.xml

Change weather reference from 54 to 40.

This takes care of the 54 weather icons being to large for that page.

First, thanks to everyone involved for the time and effort you've put into these mods.

EDIT TO ADD: Regarding the following, I found mskip's post on another forum explaining that 320x320 wasn't supported, so it may be a moot point. Anyone who can weigh in on other options to get some of these features on a 320x320 device would be GREATLY appreciated...

mskip: I downloaded your "MS301WidgetsProPlusExtras 051209" cab, and installed it per your instructions. I did this immediately after a hard reset and fresh install of the latest MS3 version from this thread.

I am running it on a Palm Treo Pro (320x320 display) with no other shells or conflicting mods in place.

I am having the same issue I've had with other widget packs, and that some others have posted about here. It installs without error, and after install all the new widgets show up in the list when I go to "Add Widget". However, once selected, none of the new widgets will actually display on my lifestyle screen. It gives me no error feedback, just an absence of new widgets.

I'm new to this process, and I've read every page of this thread over the last few days, but I'm still stumped. I notice that most of my widgets start with an "ma" prefix, versus "qa". I also realize that my 320x320 Treo Pro isn't true qvga.

Any advice you can give that may let me take advantage of your mods? I'd be willing to post up .dat files or do any leg work necessary, I'm just not sure where to start.

Thanks for any help you can offer!

My Pro Widgets

Just wanted to show off my version of the pro widgets on a lifestyle screen.

Top Row: Pro versions of the status widgets

Third Row: Application Small - fits six across instead of four.

Fourth Row: Calendar Small - I also have Calendar Pro, which is same as calendar on pro page, Calendar Big, which just leaves enough room for a row of status widgets, and Calendar Full, which occupies the full height of the screen.

Just to clarify my goal: I wish to tap the launcher from the home page, and then tap the spb menu icon next to the favorites icon and go directly to the Programs menu (displaying all of my apps).
[Windows Mobile Themes] jgjackson:
This is quite easy. Rename qa_layouts.dat to qa_layouts.zip, decrypt (b0fm18zq), extract MenuBar.xml.

Look for this block of XML:

<Plugin Class="Spb.LSP.MenuBar" Name="Btn0" ID="1">
<String Name="Backgrd" Value="MenuBackgrd" />
<Int Name="GlobalIcon" Value="216" />
<String Name="Text" Value="Launcher" />
<String Name="Open" Value=":LAUNCHER" />

Change ":LAUNCHER" to ":SPBMENU". I think the SPB Menu icon is 217, but I'm not sure (I know it's not 215 and it's probably adjacent to 216).

Put you're modified XML file back into qa_layouts.zip, re-encrypt, rename to qa_layouts.dat, copy back into \Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell.

BE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR ORIGINAL qa_layouts.dat BEFORE OVERWRITING IT. YOU'LL THANK ME LATER.
