This is difficult. As far as I know, there are two types of buttons that are supported there. Those that use Open, and those that use Action. Here are two examples:

<Plugin Class="Spb.LSP.MenuBar" Name="Btn2" ID="6">
<String Name="Backgrd" Value="MenuBackgrd" />
<Int Name="GlobalIcon" Value="197" />
<String Name="Text" Value="Today" />
<String Name="Action" Value="Today" />
<Int Name="LeftBtn" Value="1" />
</Plugin>
<Plugin Class="Spb.LSP.MenuBar" Name="Btn1" ID="2">
<String Name="Backgrd" Value="MenuBackgrd" />
<Int Name="GlobalIcon" Value="217" />
<String Name="Text" Value="Contacts" />
<String Name="Open" Value=":FAVORITES" />
</Plugin>

Open requires a panel name as its Value. On other screens, this

is used in conjunction with OpenL and OpenR to support horizontal

swiping to change panels.

Action requires the name of a built-in action. There may well be

an action for running an arbitrary program, but there are no

examples of it that I know of in qa_layouts.dat and SPB hasn't

said anything. I came up with the action name for going to the Today

screen by guessing.

There may well be other things you can do beside Open and Action.

The only thing I can suggested is make guesses (like I did with

Today) and experiment.

Mskip,

Not sure if it is my phone or the app but it seems as if when I get a Vmail that the counter is not working. Is this the widget, my phone or something else.

It looks like its going somewhere with this problem!

Hope it will get solved...!!

What version of Mobile Shell are you running? this problem was reported a long time ago before I even started making my cabs so I very much doubt its cab related. Plus voice mail counter works fine on my phone. Try installing the latest version of Spb Mobile Shell.

any plans on redesigning the music player widget?? i would look better if it was wider horizontally (like the pro clock) and showed album art
[Windows Mobile Themes] Everdog:
OK, here is what I did on the lifestyle screen to make it look like there is a nice ribbon of icons just above the contacts and launcher icons (I need to get a screen shot).

I took my background pic and darken (lowered the brightness of) the bottom 3rd. The neat thing is the line with the launcher then lightens the very bottom part of the picture back up to match the upper 2 thirds of the picture.

I then added a nice beveled edge to the top of the darkened area to match the one just above the contacts and launcher. Now it looks like there is a strip going across the screen for putting icons. The cool thing is that when you slide the the lifestyle screen back and forth, the "ribbon" (darken strip) slides similar to TF3D.

3.0.1 build 6488. Anyone with an Omnia having this same problem?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
This is because the image is too big to fit on the screen in landscape mode. I resized the image to 220x216 so it will fit properly in landscape mode and it works fine now. Rename the attached file to .dat, copy into your Mobile Shell folder on your phone and soft reset.

Unfortunately the same thing happens with the large calendar, resizing it will fix the problem but will result in an apointment being lost :(

I will fix the large calendar tonight and then re-cab all the versions with the fixed files :)

EDIT: Amazingly resizing the calendar to fit in landscape mode didnt take any appointments off (still 4) but just took 1 week off the calendar so im going to start cabbing the versions back up and uploading them to Post#1763. Check there for your flavour with the fixed calendar and digital clock (version date 052209).

If anyone finds any more bugs please let me know. Gona try working on VGA and WVGA compatability tonite. Another all nighter me thinks lol :D

Hey guys,

Well, i'm having a weird problem with spb mobile shell 3. When i switch on wlan with the wireless manager and after having uses it, switch it off again, using the wireless manager, then it always happens that wlan switches itself back on again. So strange and don't know how to solve it.

Any ideas?

PS! When I use the standard comm manager, from windows mobile 6.1, the problem does not occur.
[Windows Mobile Themes] addicus:
I love the program but I'm done with it until it stops messing up my internet explorer and google maps. They work at first then after an hour or so if I start the programs they shut down after 30 seconds. There is a thread at the spb website discussing this for over a month and still no answer on how to fix it. Sucks.

Thank you mskip!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] naatul:
The real best part I liked in the above combined widgets was,

From mskip's version

1. Digital Clock Plus (Frame)

2. Separator Lines

3. TabBtn (text)

4. Weather Plus (Info)

From jgjackson's version

1. Application Small

2. Battery Pro

3. Calendar Full

4. Weather Pro

And off course all other widgets provided by both of them.

I am still figuring out the best use for the widgets from both of them, really good choices.

I found almost all of the widgets working in my case.

You can check it out for yourself.

Enjoy.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Thats because the Wireless Manager isnt an actual screen its a popup menu and as such doesnt have a menu bar at the bottom. Theres no need for one.

Hi mskip,

like to thank you for all the great efforts you are doing & the contribution to this forum, but i have one single favour from you , having to include within your widgets the weather icons PLUS either the Medium OR the Big without the temperature degrees.

Can you do this for me please.

thanks,

You want the large weather icons with NO temperature readout?

Which version do you want it in?

[Windows Mobile Themes] jgjackson:
There were no SPB changes between beta3 an rc1, but using rc1 is probably the best thing to do anyway

One of the reasons I've not bothered to figure out how to create a cab is to make things like this easier.

I think this is a change from SPB that came in one of the betas. I think mskip is behind.

Change to add missed calls and support horizontal swiping. The Lifestyle widgets would work anyway.

mskip and I both add a third button to the menu bar for Home screens, but diffent buttons and I think we do it slightly differently. By default both pro and lifestyle use MenuBar.xml. Mskip and I needed different ones for Pro an Lifestyle, but I created a different one for pro and used the original one for lfestyle. I think mskip did it the other way around.

I don' remembe making any changes here. I don't know what mskip did. I'm curious what he did to the menubar for TaskManager and Weather. mskip? care to comment?

I think this was an SPB change in one of the betas. mskip is a little behind.

This actually modifies the font only on the standard widgets. I like a non bold font; but, if you're using a busy background, you might prefer putting it back to bold.

We both put our cusom widgets in separate files, which makes merging like you're doing much easier.

Yeah, I prefer non-cab skins. The main reason I haven't borrowed any of mskips clocks and weather widgets is that I have to install the thing first. That, and I'm waiting for him to make VGA versions of his skin file. :-)

Sounds like you have a pretty good handle on hacking now. Congrats!

Question

Just was wondering if someone would clarify a few thins for me. My device is HP iPAQ 614 running keyz 21215 wm 6.5. It has titanium/CHome scree. I started out using some of the new Tianium widgets and themes etc and then started looking at the SPB MS3 Customizations that are out. I have been a long time SPB user, so I have tried some of the new custoizations and really like the look and deeper interface it provides (You guys are REALLY GOOD). So my question is, if I go with all SPB do I

1. Uninstall of all the Titanium misc, such as widgets, sdk's, installers, themes or leave them?

2. Are any of the Titanium for wm 6.5 widgets, sdk's, installers, themes compatable with the SPB MS3? (Doubt it)

3. If I leave them, will they interfere with your widgets, installers, themes?

I hate to sound ignorant, but I have been downloading and installing and flashing(testing new ROMS) to the point that now I am even confuseD. Found a theme I really liked and after it was all installed, I figured out (by reading further in the thread! My fault)it was designed SPB MS3 to mimick the look of wm 6.5 on a wm 6.1! At this point I REALLY felt STUPID, so thought I would just bite the bullet and ask!!

Thank-you for the help, and of course all of the really great work you guys do.

[Windows Mobile Themes] ali1010:
Noted sir mskip.

thank you.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ali1010:
hi desperate!

i download it from this thread from mskip. and yes it says it supports qvga and wqvga.

thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
1. If you can uninstall them then doing so will free up extra space on your phone for other things. Titanium is a today screen plugin for Windows Mobile and as such you can be taken off without an side affects. Better still flash a "Lite" Rom which doesnt have Titanium included.

2. Nothing from Titanium will be compatable with Mobile Shell 3.

3. As long as you disable Titanium then it wont interfere at all with MS3, it will just sit there doing nothing and taking up storage space on your phone lol.

And thanks for the drink it was very refreshing :p

[Windows Mobile Themes] naatul:
I really appreciate the way you guys have put the changes so distinct that leaves the Original SPB functionality untouched and new widgets can be added seamlessly. My merging surely was easier due to the way both of you structured your changes.

Since I was pretty much following this thread, I can see how day night mskip been working on developing these widgets and helping the people out here, special thanks to him for getting my SPB Customization started and then with combined widgets now I have really cool set of widgets in my Omnia.

Help Needed w/ Bottom Bar Color

Can anyone tell me how to make the bottom bar (and top bar) into something semi-transparent. I've tried the cab to remove bottom and top start menu bars and see the issues with that when using the Professional layout.

Another option would be to simply remove the bottom bar in the Professional layout and leave the icons.

One approach would be to add the semi-transparent color to the SPB themes (colors) change page.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Since both Task Manager and Weather Screens had a similar Menu Bar to the Lifestyle Screen but just without the links, I simply made a duplicate of the MenuBar.xml file and named it MenuBarH.xml and changed the links to Home and Contacts. Then went into the weather.xml and TaskManager.xml files and directed the Menu Bar to the new one

<Layer Name="Menu" Dialog="MenuBarH"/>

Im in the process of going through every change I made in the qa_layouts file and updating to the newer RC1 version. Im also looking through your sugestions for VGA compatability so once I have upgraded to the RC1 version I will try to start making changes for VGA and find a few people with VGA and WVGA phones to test it.

Any testers out there? :D

yup, i just tried it on landscape and it works. maybe you didmt edit the lockscreen2 dimensions? or you didn't add Clip="0" to the landscape part of the menubar xml. it works om my omnia
[Windows Mobile Themes] Nicaragüense:
i just tried adding a page to the favcontacts. it works just like the lifestyle page. you can edit the registry to increase the pagecount, BUT there os a conflict with the slide gestures from the menubarcontacts.xml. you could delete those openl/openr values from that file and it will work.

by tinkering here i may have accidentally discovered something else. by having more than one page for the contacts sceeen you lose the up/down scrolling. SO one might assume that reducing the lifestyle screen to 1 page and setting scrolly to auto along with adjusting the dragrect heights would give you up/down scrolling on the ls screen. that would obviously conflict with the up/down gesture to get to the pro screen. but the can be disabled by editing the registry. i will try this in a little while. will report my findings in a bit.

edit

yup both work... the lifestyle screen is a bit sticky though, you get no up/down response but you do get it if you swipe diagonally. The contacts page does work fine though. that should open the way to a bit more customizing.

mskip, thanks for the latest update. Got my Lifestyle pages back in landscape. All screwed up again, but at least its not a blank page.

I experimented with another skin package yesterday, but came back to yours again. For me, the most important extra widget is the large calendar, and the agenda button is a close second. Those two items that let me look at my upcoming appointments at a glance (and more than just the next appointment or even that day's appointments), are the most important additions for me. Thanks.

This is my current set up. The only thing I have left to do is add the battery widget to the pro home and the voice mail icon to pro home, both of which I haven't figured out yet. It is ActuShell QVGA with some modifications by me. I was going to add an alarms panel but it seemed redundant since alarms are accessible from the time panel. I know I'm not breaking any new ground but I figured I'd post anyway. :o

Update: I added an alarms panel and when I navigate to it MS stops working.

After touching the screen to activate the panel, MS no longer responds and I am forced to reset. Any idea how to fix it? I also got the same behavior when I added a calendar panel.

This file is for QVGA. You can try it ans see if it looks OK on your phone. Be sure to save a copy of your qa_layouts.dat file before doing any edits. If it does not look right, then copy the saved qa_layouts.dat file back to your phone. Here is wha you need to do to add the time clock file to your qa_layouts.dat file.

You have to add the cwmrtimeclock.xml file to the qa_layouts.dat file. To do this, copy your qa_layouts.dat file from your fphone to your PC. Open the file with WinRAR or some other zip tool. Add the cwmrtimeclock.xml file. The password for the file is b0fm18zq. Copy the new qa_layouts.dat file back to your phone. Restart your phone. That should do it.
