You only have to install 1 of the cabs from all the options listed.

MS301 WidgetsProPlus_VGA_WVGA_060309 is the standard cab with all the widgets but no extras. All the extras cabs have different variations in the bottom menu i.e. "spbmenu taskmanager contacts" or "launcher agenda contacts" for different peoples preferences.

The custombackground cabs include all the extras and also allow you to customise your background image on all the screens apart from the lifestyle screens.

If you install a different version then it has to uninstall the previous version first. Just choose the one you want and install it (soft reset after) :)

[Windows Mobile Themes] Siliconstar:
Sorry, I don't have a QVGA version but, as you can read in this forum, Mskip is working on a new QVGA release of his WidgetPlus. For sure, diamond-like clocks will be included, but I'm not sure if they'll have the added "0" for single digit hours (you can ask him).
[Windows Mobile Themes] natefish:
Will uninstalling the cab remove the registry keys he said needed to be deleted through the manual uninstall instructions at the link to SPB club?
[Windows Mobile Themes] natefish:
Nevermind the request, I have a new question: When I try to open up background.dat on my PC using winrar, it says it can't be opened ("archive is either in an unknown format or damaged"). WTF?

Is this the place I need to go to change the professional page background or am I barking up the wrong tree?
[Windows Mobile Themes] danielchencfa:
Thank you for sharing this.

After these steps, would I be able to get two different background images between the two Lifestyle Home panels? Or they still remain the same?

Great work.

Do you release a WQVGA version?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
The cab includes all the registry entrys to run jgjacksons Widgets Pro and so uninstalling it will delete all the registry entrys but it will also delete the qa_layouts.dat file thats needed for Mobile Shell to run so make sure you back up the original file before installing it (as advised by both jgjackson and myself).

I will be releasing a new version of Pro Plus QVGA/WQVGA TODAY with 2 new diamond clocks (the black and the white versions with preceding zeros), a new analogue clock originally made by " for VGA that I resized and tweaked, plus the invisible links (medium and small) from jgjacksons widget pro that he kindly said I could use. Also the menus have been split into mods and widgets.

VGA Tinkerbell theme

I am using changeskins VGA to illustrate the transparent numerals. You will notice that in some screens there is the 0 for numeral placeholder and in some it is blank, I do not know why this is, but I do think the 0 looks better.

I would like to replace all white numerals and shadowing with Pink, Text I would like to make pale blue. I saw this where they used Pink Cumbustion menus and icons. I just dont care for the black accents and icons. I really like how customizable your software is, while still keeping the icons, menus, and submenus consistant with the original SPB Shell. I dont have a problem with changing icons, but I like not having to change my entire Set of icons to match a paticular theme. And of course you have all those great extra panels in the carousel that really work.

Anyway, third pic is just the Today screen loaded with the Original Tsk file made with old 2002 Theme maker. (This is how I get the Green bars in SPB Shell) I wish I could find a tool as easy as Pocket PC Theme Generator to work with SPB Shell. It makes it so easy to change color of any Text, Navigation Bar, Menues, Notifications etc. of course once you install SPB, most of the customizations are wiped out, bummer.

Let me know

Thank-you and Thank-you

[Windows Mobile Themes] Siliconstar:
Can you move the clock in the 2nd screen? The first "0" is normally displayed with a trick: it is not part of the time, but it's superimposed in the face.bmp.For solid digits, it works because when time goes past 9:59 the "1" cover the "0" of the face and all look correct.For transparent digits this should not be possible, since the "0" under the "1" should be always visible because of the transparent background of the digit itself.But in your 2nd screenshot it seems to work and this could be only possible if digits create a "hole" in the face instead of being superimposed:confused:.

Gonna make some further test.:rolleyes:

They will be the same. Haven't really looked into if it would be possible to make them different, but I suspect not.

WIDGETS PRO PLUS EXTRAS WITH CUSTOM BACKGROUND

(VGA AND WQVGA ONLY)

060509.

This is exactly the same version as Pro Plus Extras (SpbMenu_Agenda_Contacts) 060509 but with a custom carbon background on all screen except lifestyle. This can then be easily changed to another background by changing the qa_fundotela.dat file with your own custom made one or one of the files I have supplied. Just rename the background you want to use to qa_fundotela.dat and copy it to your Spb Mobile Shell folder on your phone, then soft reset. I included a black one as well as a couple of colourful backgrounds (pictures attached). Ohh and I left the MenuBar in the Lifestyle Screen invisible but brought back the transparent bottom bar in the Professional Screen.

Note: After you rename the background file and copy it to your phone dont forget to rename it back so you know which one it is or you will get lost :p.

Do the following to make your own custom background dat file.

1. Rename any of the custom backgrounds in the zip file to qa_fundotela.zip

2. Unzip to a folder using the password: b0fm18zq

3. Make 2 backgrounds to use for portrait (240x400 saved as Background.bmp) and landscape (400x240 saved as BackgroundL.bmp)

4. Move the 2 new background files into the folder you made in step2 (overwriting the originals)

5. Zip the 3 files back up with password protection (using password: b0fm18zq)

6. Rename the new file to qa_fundotela.dat and copy to your Spb Mobile Shell folder on your phone (overwriting the original)

7. Soft Reset your phone

Download Links (xda isnt letting me upload to here sorry):

* MS301 WidgetsProPlusExtras_QVGA CustomBackGround SpbMenu_Agenda_060509

* MS301 WidgetsProPlusExtras_QVGA CustomBackGround Launcher_TaskMan_060509

* QVGA_Custom_Backgrounds (7 skins)

Enjoy :D

I've updated my package over on spbclub. Fixed the AM/PM on flip clocks to be black so that it's visible. Added Analaog Clock Time widget, based on Spb Time like clock I got from Siliconstar. I've resized it to be as big as possible on every resolution and orientation. I've only tested VGA so far, so I'm sure some of the others will have errors. I also moved the WidgetsPro.reg file into the zip file. This avoids the renaming problem some people have.

jgjackson

What's planned for the future?

-- There's three widgets that mskip has that I like that I'm going to incorporate

-- I want to create a version of Digital Clock Pro that doesn't have any frame at all in a few sizes

-- I want to add some buttons to active menu bars (Currently they are either empty, for the home panels, or have the home button, for other panels. I want to add Task Manager to them. And maybe Agenda.)

mskip can you please attach the 3 qa files of the diamond clock with the extra 0?

Thanks in advance!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Siliconstar:
@Mskip

Did you succeeded with the Diamond-like transparent digital clock with initial "0"?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Only the black and white clocks have the extra 0, I couldnt find a way to add the 0 to the clear clock but I couldnt find a way without making the whole area totally transparent.

Files attached :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
No I havent found a way yet as the transparency means the "0" still shows when the "1" displays in that field. I dont think its possible.

GREAT WORK!!!

MSKIP, Your work is outstanding, you've made my Omnia Spot on... Beer Tokens on its way to you...

Just one small problem I'm having is making my own background work on all pages, not sure what I'm doing wrong, but i cant seem to get any of your backgrounds to work either... i know I,m doing somethin wrong, renamed carbon2 as per instructions and put over to phone replacing original qa_ file, soft re-set but get no change?? which zip program would you recommend? i'm using 7zip...

any advice you have would be great.

thanks again for all your hard work!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
If you unzipped all the background files then your zip program should be fine. I use winzip for all my compression but 7zip is a perfectly good tool. what background showed up after you installed the cab? It should have been carbon2 by default. Try renaming on of the other backgrounds such as the electric blue one. Make sure the filename is qa_fundotela.dat then copy it to your mobile shell folder and soft reset. Let me know exactly what happens. Failing that tell me what background you want and I will post the unzipped file on here for you to try.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Siliconstar:
However there is a solution since there is a kind of digital clock with different XML syntax. :rolleyes: I installed the changeskin VGA in the emulator and analyzed what it does.Soon I will post an example of what I've found. :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] obivader666:
Ive got your Widgets pro "Launcher, Task, Contacts" released today rather than the custom backgrounds "Launcher,Agender,Contacts" ... just downloaded the QVGA custom zip and tried to add it in... unzipped fine. renamed carbon2 to read as qa_Fundotela.dat, copied over fine, replaced the original, followed by soft reset, but no change, still the standard black background...

i'm sure i've done something silly, will retrace my steps and try again,

I'll get back to you with the results,

thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
The custom backgrounds files will ONLY work with the custom backgrounds version of pro plus, thats probably why nothing is showing up when you copy the file across and reset lol. If you want the custom backgrounds version with different menu buttons then let me know and I will do it now.

Hi all.

I have the HTC Touch HD. I bought it from Hong Kong and it is the Chinese Version and has Windows Mobile 6.1 installed on it.

I don't know how to change or add themes to my phone. I installed the MaxTTM version 3.3 on my phone but it doesn't work. Every time I open it, this appears on the screen:

Error:

An unexpected error has occurred in MaxTTM.exe.

The application requires a newer version of the Microsoft@.NET compact Framework than the version installed on this device.

I then clicked on Details and this appeared:

MissingMethodException:

The application requires a newer version of the Microsoft@.NET compact Framework than the version installed on this device.

If someone could please help me, it would be really great :)

I also want to install the battery on the Professional Panel. But I don't know what to install and where to install it to!

I also found this regarding the lock mode screen about the battery on the Professional Panel:

1.Install tooglestart in the windows startup folder.

2. Then use Nicaragüense suggestion on the lockscreen and menubar...

Go to the qa_layout file and change the height for your device resolution in the LockScreen2.xml file:

<Layout Name="240x320">

- <General>

<Rect Name="DragRect" X="0" Y="0" Width="240" Height="294" />

For me I changed (what is in red) the 240x320 layout height from 244 to 294 added 50 to it.

Save the file back in qa_layout file and add password. Then add the qa_layout file back into the smartphone SPB Mobile Shell program file.

3. Go to the qa_layout file and change the menubar.xml file to the following:

- <General>

<DialogObject Value="Spb.Data.MenuBar" />

<LayerAlign Value="Bottom" Clip="0" />

Change what is in red

Save the file back in qa_layout file and add password. Then add the qa_layout file back into the smartphone SPB Mobile Shell program file.

Reset device... Go to home screen and edit layout to your liking and it should work.

Can someone tell me where I can find the tooglestart and where I install it to? Does anyone know if it works with the Chinese Version on my phone???

THANKYOU ALL IN ADVANCE! Please help.

Is there a way to retain my current layout and install the latest widget update? Took me ages to get my layout the way I wanted. After which I can then tweak my layout.

Thanks

[Windows Mobile Themes] Siliconstar:
As jgjackson said, I used the DigitalClock class plugin (instead of ModernDclock) that allows digits to be positioned independently and support 4 digits time by default.

Unfortunately, I realized late that it suffer the same problems of other non standard plugins: when used as widget, it displays always on the first page of the lifestyle panel and can be moved only by changing X and Y of BoundRect(in this case LeftTop) in the XML, so is suitable only for fixed panels.

I'm very sad about this. :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
To save your layout goto launcher (bottom left menu button), settings, spb mobile shell, menu (bottom right button), backup settings.

You wont lose any layout unless you uninstall Mobile Shell though so if ur installing pro plus on a clean version you will be fine.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Thats a bummer it makes it much harder to incorporate into a standard widget set :(

Oh well its only the transparent clock that suffers fromt he missing zero.

Hi MSKIP,

Thanks for your help last night, all installed and i can change the backgrounds now.... as you said.

Just a couple of probs i could do with your help on....

In the launcher and menus when scrolling the screen gets clogged up by icons and titles bluring and overlapping eachother.

In landscape the backgrounds are not filling the screen,

and also the bars at the bottom of the pages changes from grey to white when the screen is tapped...

I've added some screen shots if that helps...

any thoughts yo've got would be appreciated...

thanks!

Did you install the pro plus cab on a clean version of mobile shell?

Try uninstalling pro plus and mobile shell, soft reset then reinstall mobile shell and check its working ok. If its ok then install pro plus and check again. Usually a clean install will sort out any problems.

I assume your phone is WQVGA? Unzip the fundotela zip as describe in my post and check the size of the Background and BackgroundL images to make sure they are big enough to cover your screen. You can make them both 800x800 if you want to make sure and then just zip the file back up with the password and copy back to your phone to test.

Let me know how it goes :)
