Looking for a larger default clock...

I have been going through this clusterf*ck of a post for the past 3 days, I cant find anything!!! I did replace the analog clock with a .dat file, but now I need to replace the digital one with thin numbers and a transparent background.

Again, all i need is the .dat file, I dont want to change my whole theme...

Using SPB 3.0.0 if that matters.

I am also looking for a better weather widget if anyone has one...
[Windows Mobile Themes] awiegman:
I LOVE the these two here but I cant find any download link for that..... any help would be appreciated...
[Windows Mobile Themes] matthewhypolite:
Try my widgets.

one of dem is a digital clock wiht transparent background.

[Windows Mobile Themes] awiegman:
Thank you, I do like the birthday widget and how you integrated the power level into the time but I like to use backgrounds, hence the need for slim numbers and a transparent clock.

I may use that birthday widget though, REALLY useful as I forget EVERYONE'S birthday. if someones birthday is today will it show there birthday on the screen all day?

Still in need of a digital clock however.
[Windows Mobile Themes] awiegman:
Ok, I think I finally got a clock and a weather icon that I like.

Now I have a different issue. I would like to know if there is any way to create an icon of a picture in a photo gallery and link it to that particular gallery? I would also like to do the same thing with an album cover or just a pic of some chick with headphones on and link it to my mp3 directory.

I would also like to label the pages in my lifestyle, is there no way to just put text on a lifestyle page (ie Audio Media or Picture Media or Video Media)???

Your pack is for MS3.5 it wont work with 3.0.1 as the setup is different.
[Windows Mobile Themes] digital_panda:
Ok, I've followed this carefully:

- opened qa_layouts.dat;

- extracted all the .xmls and modified "Widgets.xml";

- repacked everything with the default pass (b0fm18zq);

- copied back into my Kaiser;

- added the reg key and rebooted.

But seems like MobileSense theme don't like these modifications, even if I change "Operator" values into the registry to point at "Signal:Widgets" it didn't show me the signal icon but only plain text with the operator name.

A dev post on SPB Club assume that this icon cannot be shown on MS3, but if I check the qa_operator.dat the icons/masks are there.

Anyone have any idea? :p

ps: MobileSense dont use any special operator/signal widget btw.
[Windows Mobile Themes] awiegman:
yeah, lol, I figured that out on my own... HAHAHHAHA when spb wouldnt load I just uninstalled it and put my layouts file back in there! lol
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Why dont you just upgrade to 3.5.3? If you have a serial number for 3.0.1 then its a free upgrade.
[Windows Mobile Themes] awiegman:
I really dont want to have to reload and reorginize EVERYTHING. lol

Course, with all the work i did installing your widgets and whatnot, I might as well have started from scratch. oh well, to late now! HAHAHA

I will eventually, Have too much other stuff goin on to worry about learnin a new setup or posibly having bugs with it.

QA_layout.dat

I dont have the file QA_LAYOUTS.DAT...can i just install it?
[Windows Mobile Themes] donnaw:
If you have SPB Mobile Shell installed you have a qa_layouts.dat. It is in Program Files/Spb Mobile Shell

He is saying that is you copy the original file to another location you can revert to the original Mobile shell configuration by simply replacing the original qa_layouts.dat over his changed version rather than having to uninstall MS and reinstalling.

Did you know that you can upgrade to version 3.5.3 for free? It has some very nice new options. Check out Spb's website. Then visit the link posted on hte first page of this thread to find the newer stuff.

good luck

[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Are you trying to confuse people by posting in the 3.0.1 and the 3.5 thread lol :p

Ultimate, Elegance and Ultimate Elegance all share the same widget packs (apart from UltimateV2 which has extra menubar images) but they all have the mod to change the pro and other screens background. The lifestyle background is changed in the normal way but Ultimate handles it alot easier since it doesnt have the selectable screens hack you dont have to delete the background.dat file in the mobile shell folder to get it to change.

Sorry I think I got away from myself then but I hope I have answered your question lol. If I havent then just shout.

Hi Mark,

I dunno if you still active in this thread or even if u still busy with SPb widgets creating and themes but here goes.

I am using SPB 3.0.1 with Bombyx and all I want to change is the weather icon on my lifestyle home page to be the same style as the ones on my weather page.(ie the phonatic abstract weather icons) but no matter what I do I cannot find out which dat file I need to replace with the phonatic one to make this happen. I thought it was the qa_weather_54 file but with Bombyx installed I suspect it is using another file for my weather icon on my lifestyle home. Any help please???? What should I be doing?/

Thks in advance

Dean
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
The small weather icons (morning, day, evening) are qa_weather_16. The days of the week weather icons are qa_weather_40, and the main image is qa_weather_64. If they have all been changed on your weather page those are the ones you want to look at. I dont know how much working knowledge you have of MS301 but qa_weather_54 is the mobile shell weather widget that is standard on the lifestyle page. I dont know anything about Bombyx so I cant really say if it changes anything but those are the files you want to be looking at.

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dlegric2:
Thks. Thats pretty much what I thought too. I got all the images on my weather page as I want but the widget image on my lifestyle home page (which should be 54) is not showing correctly (even though I have the updated dat for 54 in the directory.)

It looks like my weather widget is looking at qa_weather_plus_soft or omnia or pro etc as I have these also in my mobile shell directory. (widget injector from Bombyx)

Strange thing is that the Bombyx program has a widget injector from you.... mskip pro widgets and mskip plus widgets????

Dunno how to solve this one?? Strange.....
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Yes I think he 'used' my widgets in his pack lol. Can you provide a screenshot of your lifestyle screen with the weather widget that you want changing and also tell me what that widgets name is.

I dont know why you havent upgraded to MS3.5.3 yet as its a free upgrade I guess theres something on 3.0.1 that you prefer lol.

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dlegric2:
Thks Mark. Really appreciate ur time.

The widget is just called 'weather' and the image on my homepage looks just like the stock std spb weather one.

I tried 3.5 but it just will not work well with touchflo2d I have installed on my Omnia.

Attached screenshot is ancient but the weather image looks the same now.

thks
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
The 'weather' widget is indeed the standard mobile shell widget which is the qa_weather_54.dat file. Is it possible for you to zip up your spb mobile shell folder and send it to me so I can check the dat files and your qa_layouts file to see why it isnt changing?

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dlegric2:
Mark, I zipped everything that was in the spb shell directory except the fondecran file which is just backgrounds etc...5mb plus large.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
I resized all the images to the correct size and made a dat file which should be compatable.

Unzip the attached file and copy the dat file to your spb mobile shell folder on your phone. Restart your phone and check if the lifestyle weather widget has changed.

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kevinpwhite:

[Windows Mobile Themes] ravichandrabr:

[Windows Mobile Themes] Zepiii:
Exactly the same thing for me ! Sense 2.5 on my HD2 is really better than was the 2.1 on my HD1. Well, for me, I don't think that MS 5 will be so revolutionary, because I think the 3.5 to 5 version is mainly due to the fact that it will be ported on Android & Symbian, which is a great thing, but well... I want more freedom on SPB, be allowed to map S2P, and till SPB will be so restrictive (like Apple does), they won't get me back !!! :D

Or maybe on the WinMo 7, as it's looks **** :P

Well, currently, I am dreaming of Android on my HD2... Wait & See ! ;)

Hi everyone. I'm an SPB Mobile Shell Noob:) I have a simple question that I've tried to find the solution to.

I need to change the "Games" Folder Icon on MobileShell's "Programs" menu. I have custom folder icons set via registry when I cook my ROM. Using the default WM start menu, my Games folder Icon is what I set it to be. However, when I access the Programs Menu in SPB Mobile Shell, all the other Custom Folder Icons are shown in the Programs Menu of SPB, except for "Games" which shows a Yellowish Glassy Icon instead of the one I cooked in.

Can anyone point me to a workaround or reg tweak so I can change the icon of the "Games" Folder in SPB Programs menu?
