Just downloaded ShellExtension 1.2.2 but can't get it to work...

When extracted, the downloaded zip file contains these: ShellExtension.exe and Ionic.Zip.Cf.dll

that is all right?

but when i tried to copy these two files phone it won't let me. (connected via Activesync).

I tried to copy the whole zip file onto phone but just cant unzip it using winrar / eezyzip or even resco.

version 1.2.0 also give me the same result.

what could be the problem here?

thanks for any advice....

[VGA,WVGA] Really big transparent analog clock 2 SPB MS3

Hello guys,

look at my big golden clock. Clock is semi-trasparent, so is possible place another plugin behind it (weather,battery... etc.), is even possible to place clock partialy behind the edge, top or bottom (nice, look at screenshot)

INSTALLATION:

just extract file va_clock_now.dat, copy it to SPB MS 3 dir, restart, and add medium analog clock widget...

This is way it can be nicely combined with other skins

@ Zepiii

I would like to vote for MS3Config as a "must have" for SPB

MS3Config by volDeus alows you to change the background on any screen on the fly. You can have as many different backgrounds at one time as your device memory can handle! You can also add, remove and rename any of your carousel panels, and change the number of lifestyle panels you have! No more zipping & unzipping fondotela.dat files. MS3Config DOES NOT OVERWRITE OTHER MODS so it does not affect mskips widgets!!!

Analog Clock Widget Problems

Hi,

I am attempting to create an analog clock widget.

I finally got the face and mask in order (in the correct 16 bit RGB565 and 8 bit resolutions), but I cannot get the hands to be in the middle of the clock.

I tried to play around with the x and y values in index.xml but it takes a million years and it requires zipping, passwording etc.

Is there a quicker way to do this? Also, is there a tool to preview a widget on the computer prior to transferring it to the phone. That would make life much easier..

Thanks in advance.

[Windows Mobile Themes] NLWaard:
Thats strange? It has nothing to do with the program!

Its correct that there is a exe and a dll. both need to be in the same map (directory).

If i read it correct, you

can't

copy the exe and dll. And you

can

copy a zip. But you Can't unzip??? Why not rename the exe and dll to *.ZIP and copy them to you PDA. And in the PDA rename them back. Don't use an other known extension most of then are converted to a mobile version.

I also Googled on these behavior and found some more people with the same prob. After reinstalling Activesync there problem was over. See Google.

Let me know if, you get it up and running.;)

The battery bar does not automatically go to the top of the clock. It just works well there. When you add it as a widget it will appear someplace on your screen, just as a thin bar. Using the "edit layout" function, you can then drag it to the location (like the top of the clock) that you want.

Sence weather icons

I used the Sence theme for a bit, but stopped because it isn't landscape-friendly. However, my favorite part of the theme was the weather icon set (large one with no words) - has anyone been able to pull JUST those weather icons and use them without the rest of the theme? I have MSkip's VGA set, so I would need to edit a file or two to get them to work together, I assume.

Any help would be appreciated.

Remove text for MS3 menu buttons

Hi all,

I used ShellExtension to add a third menu button, so that I've now got Launcher, Favourite Contacts and Task Manager.

However, I prefer to have the buttons without the text. I went back into ShellExtension and deleted the text for each button - and that works - but the buttons are still shifted up vertically to make space for the (non-existent) text.

Any way to get the buttons to shift back down to their default position?

Shortcut to Specific Pages within 'Lifestyle' Screen

There were a few questions here and there if it was possible to create a direct link to different pages within Lifestyle type pages (the ones you swipe left or right to)... The short answer was no, but it is in fact possible...

There's a registry entry called 'ActivePage' which is called every thie MS3 returns to one of the Lifestyle screens. this is done so MS3 returns to where it was, instead of one of the other pages...

Therefore to shortcut to a specific page, you need to manipulate the registry entry first, then call the Lifestyle screen you want.

Here's my MortScript below:

RegWriteDWord( "HKLM" , "software\spb software house 2\spb mobile shell\widgets\homescreen" , "ActivePage" , 1)

Run( "\Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell\MenuLauncher.exe" , "-cmd:""dlg|lockscreen2""" )​

Note that ActivePage starts at '0' for the first (far left) page, and counts up from there.

So here's the problem... While this method does exactly what it's supposed to, it is really quite slow (delay of about 1 or 2 seconds) so it's not really worth using...

So please, anyone, if you know how to make it faster, please share your knowledge... I really just put this here to spark some of the greater minds in this forum, who are a little better at this than I am.

Cheers

Hi K1sr.

Can the steps you give in your "Custom Pro Only Setup" be used if I have Mskips Widgets Pro Plus Ultimate 070809 installed (instead of Jacksons)?

Also, is MS3Config v0.15 by volDeus useable after making your setup changes?

Basically, like many I imagine, I have no need for Pro and Lifestyle pages. I just need one of the two, and that it be editable so that I can change the look and background as I wish.

Thanks,

I still think a workaround would be to install the Sence V1 or V2 themes by Chpoubs with empty Pro Panel, and then use the Bombyx Editor to put your widgets on the Pro Panel, as mentioned in the Bombyx description. If I find time and with V2 released now I will try that.

If you can't wait, you can manually remove lines in the MenuBar.xml
[Windows Mobile Themes] k1sr:
Hi Mattster.

There should be no reason why it would not work with Mskip's widgets, although the registry changes would be a little different, as you wouldn't make any of the changes that reference jgjackon's Business Home.

You'll also notice that Mskip's widgets add an extra 4 pages to the Lifestyle Home - if you're like me, this is a bit excessive... To change this go to:

HKLM\Software\Sbp Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Widgets\HomeScreen​

Now set 'PageCount' to the number of pages you'd like on your new Custom Pro page.​

MS3Config should also work... Basically all my changes do is remove the original Pro Home - so if it works with the widget pack, then it should work with MS3 Config... although it's probably a question for volDeus

Hope that helps...!

Cheers
