Which icons are the ones you want to put on your phone? If you go through the imarche selections and write down the ones you like then you can copy those specific files across to your Spb Mobile Shell folder.

I will try this, but I'm not entirely sure this is what I'm looking for. I want to be able to tap "Launcher" from the Professional Home screen. I want it to still bring up the launcher favorites first. The thing I want to change is the SPB Menu. I don't really like it since I have the essentials on my Launcher screen. So I want the SPB Menu (right icon) to go straight to the "Programs" tab, listing all programs. From what I understand above, you're just showing me how to swap launcher with spb menu.

Do you see what I mean?

Other soft for the SMS ? Resco Contact Manager

I managed to get to change the registry into Resco Contact Manager. The only 'problem' is that it goes to the contacts list instead of the sms session of Resco.

In the Program files there are only two .exe-files:

- RPMOpt.exe (this one goes to options)

- RPhoneMan.exe (this is the main .exe)

In Programs there are shortcuts to Favorites, Call history and also SMS inbox.

To the SMS Inbox the link is: "\Programmabestanden\Resco Contact Manager\RPhoneMan.exe -sms" (I think the -sms is for the direct link to SMS Inbox)

I tried to edit registry in that one, but it won't work. Does anybody know why?
[Windows Mobile Themes] pankos:
Very nice!!! But where is the folder "qa_layouts"?

I can't find it to paste the file.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jgjackson:
OK, I see what you mean. I think. I don't think this is possible. You'd have to be able to make a panel out of just the Programs menu, and I don't see a way to do that.
[Windows Mobile Themes] fronc:
Does it have to be a panel? Why can't it just be a link to the programs menu? Instead of :SPBMENU, it should be "xxx" linking it to the programs menu.

I just can't figure out how... Anyone?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Unzip the attached file and copy the 2 files across to your Spb Mobile Shell folder on your phone. Backup your qa_layouts.dat file first so you can copy it back if you dont like the changes.

NOTE: The qa_layouts.dat file is from the pro plus extras cab (SpbMenu - Agenda - Contacts), dont use this unless you already have that cab installed.

Phew! 1645 posts...

Thankyou to all who have experimented to produce these wonderful mods. I've been trying them out with varying levels of success.

Perhaps I could get some help?

I have an XDA Flint (HTC Advantage X7510) which uses a VGA screen resolution. Some of these mods, specifically the pro widgets, don't work at this resolution and I wondered if anyone could tell me which ones do?

Thanks, Phil.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Pelad0:
You are absolutely right (as I don't understood what you say, I changed back and tried again, now I understand what you mean). However, after having tried both versions, I prefer to lose the overlay function, but show the background.

Thanks for helping me to learn something new ;)

Hi Sir mskip!

i just tried it. very nice and its almost perfect. i am using your MS301 WidgetsProPlusExtras_spbmenu_agenda_contacts 051709 with the carbon background on my omnia wqvga 240x400.

PLEASE fix:

1. the lower buttons don't have carbon background. if it can't have a carbon bg, bringing back the bar of lower bottons would be fine.

2. the carbon background of all the panels is like zoomed in (sorry don't know the term for it) compared to my lifestyle bg.

3. landscape mode don't have the carbon bg

Please see attached screenshots. Thank you very much Sir mskip for helping me out making my ms3 with your widgets pro PERFECT!

Unfortunately you have to choose one or the other. I have decided to go with the iMarche skins instead. Much quicker to customise on the fly and also more options to choose from.

SPBMENU icon is not in GlobalIcon (the closest icon I think is 182). Try to replace

<Int Name="GlobalIcon" Value="216"/>

by

<Rect Name="SrcIcon" X="0" Y="200" Width="48" Height="50"/>

qa_layouts is not a folder, is a file (qa_layouts.dat).

Search the forum about how to copy the xml file inside the qa_layouts.dat.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jgjackson:
That's odd. There is no such icon. Using SPB Menu's change icon feature, that icon doesn't show up. The closest I can find has that shap enclosed in a circle (icon 182). Somehow that particular icon must be hard coded into the program. It isn't in vp_menu_btn.dat.

I tried making an invisible application widget that you could superimpose on indicators, but it's only invisible in it's with text size. Small and Medium still displays the icon. Maybe over lunch I'll come up with a better solution.

Hi jGjackson.

Just noticed a couple of minor issues with the VGA mods.

>Unable to change background image (I know this one has been raised before)

>Unable to resize regular widgets. When I edit screen and choose 'small' the widgets stay at medium size.

Not a problem for me, I just thought I'd let you know.

[Windows Mobile Themes] jgjackson:
I've added Application Invisible Small and Application Invisible Medium suitable for superimposing on top of indicators to open alternative applications. See my pro widgets package over on spbclub.com.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jgjackson:
I'll see it quicker and less likely to miss it over on spb forum.

I'm not sure I follow what you're problem is with the resizing. Application widgets resize fine for me. Perhaps you're confused about the behaviour of Application Small. Medium size for it is 40x40 (which is small for Application). Small size for it is 30x30, BUT the whole icon still displays (it will extend beyond the 30x30 box). This let's you squeeze it tighter to the edge of the screen since by default the grid snap leaves a few pixels unoccupied near the right and bottom edges for some resolutions.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ali1010:
yup Sir mskip!

you are right. thats why i still maintain your MS301 WidgetsProPlusExtras_spbmenu_agenda_contacts 051709 with carbon bg. hope you can fix the bottom area ( no carbon background) or bring back the bar (not transparent) with the 3 buttons (menu-agenda-contacts).

Hi mskip,

Nothing on that? I tried to do this mod suggested on the first page (in reverse: launcher opens favoriter instead of SPB Menu):

"Is there a way, that the launcher opens not the favorites/Recently used programs but the SPB Menu?

But it didn't work. It screwed carousel, and after I got to Favorites I couldn't go to SPB Menu, but the idea is that.

Clock.exe is not working

How to get G-Alarm program instead of default alarm?

Works BUT you won't be able to access to setting of Clock & Time. A solution to change the time HERE

- Install VJBrisk

- Go in Program files/Vijay555/vjbrisk

- Inside this folder, there are VJBrisk.exe, make a copy of it.

- rename this copy into clock.exe

- replace this new clock.exe into window/

- Go in G-alarm folder

- create a shortcut of G-alarm.exe

- rename it in clocklnk (don't forget the lnk at the end. : clocklnk.lnk)

- Put this shortcut into /windows/

This could work for other applications ! List them :G-Alarm OK; Klaxon OK;

If you need back your original clock.exe, it's HERE

Okay so everytime I try to paste the exe file it gives me the error message

"Error Moving File

Cannot move 'clock': Access is denied.

Be certain that there is ennough free storage memory, that the destination is not write-protected and that the files is not currently in use."

Whats weird is before, I performed this action with no problem on my last device. Can someone please help me force the software to paste or tell me why my file is so protected that I cannot edit using any type of interface I've tried including "Dr. Delete" PLEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAASSSSEEEE:o

Switching between SPB3 and M2D

Hello guys.

I don't know if this has been out here before (or on other topics here).

I read here something about being able to switch between SPB and Manila 3D by creating a second Today screen and installing a toggle app.

I tried that but i kept getting lost with the instructions on how to do it, and i ended up with a non-working soft keys on the second Today screen (it's my bad really). So i decided to uninstall and undo everything.

I liked the switching idea so much that i tinkered with it more and came up with this solution.

On my Today screen, i remapped the left softkey so that I can launch TouchFlo M2D and remapped also the right softkey to launch SPB. No registry tweak, just a softkey remapping tool.

This way, I can switch between M2D and SPB3 anytime i want without deactivating one or the other. Sure, it takes some more storage space 'coz they are running at the same time but its not really an issue for me and it doesn't let the phone lag even a bit.
