Has anyone had problems replacing files, ie qa_layout, reset and mobile shell not loading? I have tried everything, even as simple as unzipping and rezipping the original file, and replacing with no luck. I rezipped the file with WinRar using normal zip compression with the password. Could someone go into more detail and have it added to the first post? I am at a lost for mobile shell not loading after the file overwrite.

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I try to do a digital clock like Manila's clock for Spb Shell, but I've "little" problem because I want this clock with color, (not like original in black and white)..

Someone knows something about digital clocks for VGA that works fine with Spb Shell 3.0? (Actually I got a big proffesional clock installed, but I want another one).

I test digital Tom's clocks but didn't works fine in my Diamond (VGA), althougth analogic clocks works really good in new version.., I don't know why digital clocks didn't work like analogic clocks..

Thanks in advanced.
[Windows Mobile Themes] natefish:
YES, I am having the same problem. Did you ever find a solution?

I have copied the correct layout, restarted the shell and the phone, but still no luck. Is there something in the registry I have to change?
[Windows Mobile Themes] MrHawaii:
Did you do anything else that may have changed the qa_layouts.dat file? What I am figuring out is that the qa_layouts.dat file is like a main file with bunch of XML files that the tells MS3 to use this or that. When doing these mods like the big digital clock widget, it needs an edit in the qa_layouts.dat file. Then when we try something else, like background on all pages it needs another edit on the qa_layouts.dat file. Which replaces the previous file that had the edit for the clock. What I have done was take the clock widget file and renamed it to be the original medium digital clock so that I can still use it even if I change my qa_layouts.dat file. It takes the place of the original medium digital clock, but I never used it. If someone wants it, let me know and I will post it.

What we really need is a program that actually edits the qa_layouts.dat file but does not replace the whole file itself.
[Windows Mobile Themes] natefish:
Thanks. I figured it out. I installed the wrong damn .cab. I blame Resco Explorer for having such a big font in touch mode that I can't see the whole of long file names :p

Remove Professional Home ?

Yes, I did remove the relevant reg entries, and got rid of the Professional Home...in the carousel.

Until I decided to try a finger swipe on the Lifestyle layout.

Then it came back. and Mobile Shell got all confused:confused: and locked up,

and refused to start ever again.

I think there's some XML that needs to be edited to get rid of it all together.

I have no idea what.

Qvga blackberry and transparent weather icons

For any skinners that want them. Here's a couple of things that I adapted to qvga. Of course they also work on wqvga.

Thanks and credits go to Apothehouse, for the menu icons and also to whomever created the weather icons.

When I get time, I will post themes that have them incorporated.

I made these weather icons big. So for the best fit on the weather page, you should edit that page.

To use the files, just remove the .zip extension after you download.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Mattster_spv:
This happens on some Roms, especially 6.5's (you discover that you can't change the Spb colour theme). The solution is going into your device "settings / personal/ today" and changing the theme to black. Once you have done this, you should be able to now change the colour of the spb background theme, e.g. to green , blue, gold, etc.

Hope this helps,

Mattster.

Hey guys! So many pages, and I haven't got much time, so sorry if these questions were asked before!:)

1: is it possible to change the icons of some things, like wireless manager, sound profiles etc.?

2: if this is not possible, are there any programs that can create shortcuts with costume icons, or something that I can assign custome icons to shortcuts with?

3: how can I change the background of that thing (I don't know the name, maybe the carousel:D) where I can rotate and select between weather, time, profiles, lifestyle etc.

4: is it possible to hide the taskbar with the start menu?

[Windows Mobile Themes] Zepiii:
For myself, i find it usefull !

Phone boots correctly, so you don't touch it one or two minutes, and the last thing to do is to active SIM. For that, i simply press the "sensitive call" button, it asks me PIN, i enter it, close dialer. My HD is ready and correctly booted !

Because, in the past, if you booted your phone but forgot to enter the pin (switching programm on TV or something like that), you had to enter PIN and then SPB started only to boot...

I really don't understand arab :)

I was wondering if there is a way to change the icon from the nasty looking one that it comes with to the stylish icon that Mobile Shell uses for it's profile program.

Changing the order of the Carousel Panels

It is possible with a little editing of the registry keys in KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\NowScreen\Panels to change the order of the panels in the Carousel.

I used a combination of CeRegistry editor and Resco Explorer to renumber panels 0 and 13 so they are the other way round. Panel 13 in my case is created for the Task Manager (see this link). The Task Manager is now to the left hand side of the Lifestyle Home screen instead of the Professional Home screen.

iMarch...

A few have been asking about if others are losing the Pro Clock, and like above, about losing the transparency.

As another posted commented, I do believe the issue is that the iMarch is overwriting the DAT files those are in. I suspect, but not sure, that when he gets things completely finished in a couple weeks, it may be available.

I've noticed, for example, on the menubar with iMarch changes completely, adding a button: weather. If after installing iMarch, you reinstall the PRO cab, then the menubar changes back to transparent, and 2 buttons. As well, other things change.

It's beginning to seem apparent to me that a person that likes combinations of several different things will need to start doing his own editing in order to get the combination of things gathered for your particular preferences.

What's interesting for me is I put my Pro Widgets in a custom.xml so it wouldn'td get overwritten, but the clock still isn't available. I can select it to add, but it doesn't appear (speaking of after installing iMarche)

I just need to do more work and get a better understanding.

BTW..I really like the look of the Wisbar theme. I'm going to check them out.

[EDIT]

Hmmm...I'm not sure. Seems teh WisBar is a tool set possibly. And the skins don't appear to be designed 'for' MS3. From teh printscreen above, I really like the look of the top bar. But, actually doing anything from those buttons isn't likely very finger friendly.

I'll keep an eye on it.
