Resco contact and SPB Mobile SHell

Hi

No way yet to link contact button to resco contact app?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Zepiii:
Still never heard that !

But this might interest you !

Or an other way, would be to allow to add invisible icon on it using this tricks ?

Good luck ;)

Hi mskip,

first of all thanks for your great work.

I have installed "MS301 WidgetsProPlusBasic_QVGA_060509.cab" but I can't find

new battery widget... (see image)

there is some error in the cab or my error?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Copy the attached file (delete the .zip part first) into your mobile shell folder and restart it to change the battery to the one in the pic.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
What do you mean by you cant get it to work? What exactly is the problem between the drop theme and pro plus? I would assume the drop theme utilizes the qa_layouts file so you cant use both together. If thats the case then send me the files for the drop theme and I will look at them to see if it can be altered to do what you want :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] ndk2k4:
mskip... to the rescue?!

mskip, I know youre full of work as it is with people bugging you, but Im having an issue and not sure what the reason could be.

Basicly nothing from your widgets works. The visuals arent showing up at all.

For example I put in the large analog clock, nothing happens. I put in the weather, I get the numbers for the temperature, but the weather icon itself doesn't show.

Ill Upload a video of what I mean.

http://img190.imageshack.us/i/video03v.mp4/

I hard reset my phone trying to get this to work... Hard reset, fresh ms 3.0.1 install, followed by your widgets.

I dont know what It could be... I would love a suggestion or a solution.

My phone is a cdma diamond (vga)

EDIT:

I went through 3 more cycles of hard resetting and reinstalling and it randomly started to work...
[Windows Mobile Themes] obivader666:
Hey, I've just finished having a right good play about with my phone.

started with clean version of MS 3, then your cab, didn't see any change with the issue's, so looked into the background sizes, they were spot on, but for a trial i changed them to 800x800, lol that just made it worse, the screen couldn't cope and was really scrambled, so i tried hard reset to clear the phone & only loaded MS3 & your cab, just incase another software was clashing somehow... it wasn't that...

So anyway its not all doom & gloom as now its given me the reason to sort my phone out once and for all... lost track of the times i've said that!!

so after installing an ace black skin for the dialer & keyboard i'm more the please with the original cab & black background that now matchs in with the new theame.... :)

Once again thanks for all your efforts.. my phone wouldn't be the same without all your help!!

cheers

MS3 Calendar

Hi There to All,

Does anybody know how to minimise the agenda widget to 2 lines only? OR in

Widget Pro Plus Ultra "downgrade" the lines in widget "Calendar Plus (small)" down to 2 lines.

OR/AND

MS3 offers to show all day events in the agenda. I would prefer - with certain limitations - to have an option to have only all day events shown!

Could anybody help with this?

Thanx
[Windows Mobile Themes] OnceAMatrixMan:
mskip, thanks for all the hard work. The widgets looks great. Is there anyway to get the white analog clock in a small version in the next update? Thanks!

------

Remember those that fell 65 years ago today
[Windows Mobile Themes] OnceAMatrixMan:
Seems to me that SPB should have designed the software so that widgets could be standalone mini-apps. For example, you see a clock you like you copy that one clock widget into the folder, etc. Maybe it's a factor of load speed, but these layout files are getting bigger and bigger so it's a wash I imagine.

Remember those that fell 65 years ago today
[Windows Mobile Themes] Zepiii:
> Did you tried to go in the setting of the calendar? You can change somestuff about lines if i remember well :]
[Windows Mobile Themes] ziggi_zug:
In fact I could not find anything like that. I can change the number of weeks in calendar and agenda, but not the number of visible lines in the view. I tryed to find it in the qa_layouts.dat, but did not find, nor somewhere else.

Hi ..... GREAT WORK

However I have a small issue here. I use the standard MS301 WidgetsProPlus_VGA_WVGA_060309.cab on my brandnew touch pro 2.

When I select digital clock (pro) no widget will come on my screen. For me not a big problem .. just want to report.

I like to use "digital clock Modern (big)" . I can select it and it looks great. The problem is that MS3 will be less responsive when scrolling left to right on the lifestyle layout. This is the only clock that makes this happen.

When I choose an ever bigger clock ( then I would expect slowdown ) the scrolling goes fluently.

Hope someone has an answer to this

regards

Spb Mobile Shell 3 Background Changer (MS3Config v0.11)

Spb Mobile Shell 3 Background Changer (MS3Config v0.11)

6/7/9 - Features (v0.11):

1. Added panels; Panel Carousel, Panel Carousel (accelerated), Contact - Edit Picture, Favorite Contacts.

6/6/9 - New Features in v0.1!!:

1. Full parsing of MS3's XML files to prevent problems with other Spb Mobile Shell 3 add-ons and mods.

2. Backup and Restore options.

3. Ability to choose which panels will be modified.

4. Ability to undo changes simply by disabling the panel that was changed.

5. Image browser shows the current images as thumbnails and allows choosing a different file or opening the file in your associated image editor.

6. Checking for redundant packing and unpacking now makes applying small changes much faster than in ALPHA.

7. Ability to quickly restart Spb Mobile Shell 3 to view your changes.

8. Progress is indicated wherever possible.

Features:

1. Extracts the internal background images from

Spb Mobile Shell 3

data files and places them in "\My Documents\MS3Config Backgrounds\"

2. Compresses the files found in "\My Documents\MS3Config Backgrounds\" and copies them back to the

Spb Mobile Shell 3

install folder.

PLEASE USE THE File>Backup OPTION TO BACKUP FILES THAT WILL BE MODIFIED BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES... I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE, INCONVIENIENCE TO YOUR DAILY ROUTINE, OR ANNOYANCE TO YOUR GEEKING/TWEEKING EXPERIENCE...

Instructions:

1. Install the .CAB

2. Run the application "MS3Config" and read the "About" tab.

3. Click on the "Panels" tab and wait for it to load.

4. Check each panel you want to change the background of.

( If you want to use the default images for now, skip to step 8 )

5. Click on the "Images" tab and wait for it to load.

6. Use the trackbar at the bottom of the screen to choose which image you want to modify.

7. Tap and hold the image and choose "Browse" to open the file picker and replace that image with another - or - "Edit" to open the image in your associated image editor. (I use Pocket Artist)

8. When you are finished changing your backgrounds, Open the "File" menu and click "Apply changes".

9. Wait for the progress form to close.

10. Open the "File" menu and click "Restart MS3". Wait for MS3 to restart and admire your changes.

Requirements:

Only tested on my Touch Pro so far but as far as I know, the only requirements would be ...

1.

WM6

or higher...

2. .

NET CF 3.5 Runtimes

installed...

3.

Spb Mobile Shell 3 installed

... In the default location....

Notes:

1. I welcome bug reports.

2. "ALPHA" tab included just in case. It still causes important files to be overwritten and it isn't needed if MS3Config is working correctly for you.

3. Changes can be undone by simply un-checking all panels in the "Panels" tab.

4. There is a Backup/Restore option built in now .. Use it.

:cool: Spb Mobile Shell 3 Background Changer
[Windows Mobile Themes] volDeus:
I have developed a way to accomplish this in my app as well ...

Spb Mobile Shell 3 Background Changer

Check it out, it can parse and patch (or unpatch) MS3's internal XML files regardless of what changes have been made to them ... Only background images are affected at the moment but the system is versatile and I will be adding other mods and widgets in future updates..

Especially your's and mskip's if I get permission from you both ...
[Windows Mobile Themes] gkleding:
Okay, so let me get this straight. I install a theme from a developer that I think is just "Great", but, he doesnt offer any custom widgets. So I see MSkips excellent work that I would love to use with my great theme. We all know that the qa layout will be overwritten so the odds are pretty good that this is NOT going to work. I am assuming this is where your software comes in to play. QVGA, VGA? Does it matter if I install your software before or after the widgets?

Thank-you

Hi, could you add a choice of installation folder spb3?

your program seeks only to the English default installation directory and not in other country default ...

It's bottom bar. Instead of 2 icons, you will have 3.

You choose bewteen

Or

Launcher | Task Manager | Contacts

[Windows Mobile Themes] volDeus:
Please post any other questions, bug reports, or feature requests in the original thread

Spb Mobile Shell 3 Background Changer

At the moment my application only affects panel backgrounds ... But in future updates I will be adding as many widgets and other tweaks that I get the permission of the authors to include (MSkip's widget pack for instance will be the first I will add) ... The system I have developed to patch MS3's XML files is very easy to add more patches to and I even have plans to have a open documented XML format for adding patches so that widget and skin developers can make content that my application will be able to install/uninstall/combine/etc...

Resolution shouldn't matter except when it comes to which backgrounds you wish to use and I'm not sure of the specifics there yet but I think others in the community already are and I'll know soon.

You can install my application after or before your other add-ons or mods but any changes you have made with MS3 Config will most likely be lost if you install your other content second.

The intended usage

until my next major update

is this ...

1. Install MS3 Config

1. Install your widgets and panel mods

(step 1 and 2 can be reversed)

2. Use MS3 Config to change all your panel backgrounds

WITHOUT AFFECTING YOUR WIDGETS

.

Yes I apolagize for that ... I will remove the hard-coded paths in the next update and use the system enviroment vars ...

VGA Digital Pro Clock

Since there wasn't a cab made for VGA devices of the pro clock

I decided to make it for myself (following all the instructions on this

thread and the spbclub thread) and share it with all u VGA peeps...
[Windows Mobile Themes] gruvngyrl:
Ok, actually, I did find a small issue. When the time goes into the double digits (e.g. 12:00am), the battery/weather icons (depending on which you have butted up against the clock) start getting very cramped.

Also, the text on the battery and weather icons is exceedingly close together, to the point where it looks like it's almost one, long number.

Last issue, or.. well.. not really so much an issue as it is a question, how do I get the clock to display the date in Day/Month/Date format, as opposed to the current Day/Date/Month format? I've seen it on other people's screenies, so I imagine it's configurable?

I'm attaching another screenie with the squished time display.

Edited just to add: Boy, we're keeping you busy! Thanks for everything you're doing. You are very much appreciated!

Is there any chance to tell me how to minimise the calendar widget (i.e.: Plus/small) down to 1 or max 2 lines? I can, by modifying the appropriate widget.xml make the widget area smaller, but not its content. The only thing I would like to see is only the first line of an all day event. (Actually there is one for each day, so called name-day, a kind of Hungarian speciality. :) )

Hi Mskip

Firstly, thanks for your continued efforts in improving SPBMS3, I have learned a lot from you and the other contributors to this thread!

However I am having some problems installing your latest release of widgets. My device is an Omnia (QWVGA) and every attempt has been on a fresh install of MS3. "MS301 WidgetsProPlusBasic_QVGA_060509.cab" installs without a problem, but when I try "MS301 WidgetsProPlusExtras_QVGA_Launcher_TaskMan_Contacts 060509.cab" or "MS301 WidgetsProPlusExtras_QVGA_SpbMenu_TaskMan_Contacts 060509.cab" I get this.......

Any help resolving this would be appreciated!

Also would it be possible to post your "MS301 WidgetsProPlusExtras_QVGA_Launcher_TaskMan_Contacts 060509.cab" as "not a cab" i.e. ".dat" & ".reg" files??? This would go a long way to help me understand all of this........Thanks in advance........Laurie!!!

[Windows Mobile Themes] Siliconstar:
Since SPB plugin classes Operator an SpName don't provide support for 2 operators, I think it is not possible.

If your phone supports 2 indicators (for example in the taskbar) for both operators at the same time (name and signal level), it could be possible in the future (when and if SBP releases some specifications) to create a custom plugin, since the above informations are normally stored also in some registry keys.

For the moment, I cannot help you, sorry. :(

I can't say it's because of widgets or not, but I am resetting up to 4 times a day - sometimes it's first thing in the morning, sometimes it locks up during screen rotation, sometimes during IE start-up... It's all over the place, but it does seem much more frequent after updating to 3.x.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Try uninstalling pro plus and mobile shell and leave it without either on for a day to see if u get any lockups. If its ok then install just mobile shell and test again for a day. Then install pro plus and test again. If it freezes without mobile shell on then I would say theres a problem with your rom or SPL.

Do you have HardSPL flashed on your phone? That might help as it cures alot of freezing problems.
