I am hoping someone can point me to a post that can explain to me clearly what I need to do to get the weather icons on my HTC Touch Diamond using SPB MS3 to have the framed weather effect. I am talking about this.

I am using the default weather program that comes with MS3, do I need to install any other program to get that effect? My apologies if this has been answered before but I am struggling to find a guide/how to post.

Hello,

loving the work thats done here ! really like the Widgets Pro Plus ULTIMATE.

Tanx mskip.

just like petersm earlier message (up)

I was wondering if there is a Tasks Widget (not the taskmanager) the to do list,

i cant seem to find it here.

tnx for responding.

Riz
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Sorry theres no Tasks Widget and there wont be unless Spb make one as they arent letting anyone create new widget styles and they arent responsive at all on their own forums.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
The invisible link widget is for applications only but I will have a look and see if the contact link can be made invisible :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
If you click on his username then you can find all the posts he has made in other forums relating to his excellent weather themes. He doesnt seem to have posted on here since 30th May so I dont think he ever got round to posting those files.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dustinb17:
Hey mskip, what are the chances of JGjacksons "Small Application" being included in your next build with Invisible Link. .It's a nice feature and very useful with your new Ultimate version. I've added it to my qa_layouts and it allows me to put the launcher buttons closer to the bottom of the screen.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Small Application from JGJackson is included in my VGA version and I will put it in the next release for QVGA :)

[Windows Mobile Themes] ArmageddonAsh:
well i just want to be able to add different links to it, instead of having launcher i would prefer it to have a link to the programs as thats what i use the launcher for and maybe if its possible to have the contacts link to go to a different dialer as i have Dusk default which i can use when press the green phone button but i dont see it when i press the contacts button or when people call me

PDA Status Icons

I know this question has been asked, but I cannot find the post anywhere. I am looking to change the status icons for a straight PDA-NO Phone functions needed. Could someone Please post the link for me?

Thank-you

[Windows Mobile Themes] ArmageddonAsh:
if this aint possible i was wondering

if anyone has any idea how to change the dialer? i installed Dusk Default installed and it shows up as i said when pressing the green button or when im calling someone but i would also like it to show up when i press and go into the contacts menu

Install my Pro Plus ULTIMATE version for QVGA or VGA (see the links in my signature) and you can put whatever you want to in the MenuBar Area :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] Zepiii:
Hey mskip!

I've just installed your WVGA version.

It's great ! I can't install invisible application, but it's not a real problem.

I was wondering, after installing your CAB, i had the all day appointement in the

calendar? How can i make this trick without installing your CAB. It's an intersting trick !

See you, and 2 thumbs up for your great work ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] ArmageddonAsh:
thank you so much i will check it out :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] lkfxxx:
hi mskip, thanks for the great work you done.

Just wondering if there's a way to "jump" back to the main lifestyle screen from the other lifestyle screen. Or is there a way to jump to the different screen directly without scrolling thru 1 by 1.
[Windows Mobile Themes] rodrimaul:
Thanks for you answer ;)

PS: I love your excelent work for MS3, you're the best!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Rissie:
ah ok, wel tnx for the fast answer, ill go bug that forum for the widget:rolleyes:

Riz
[Windows Mobile Themes] ArmageddonAsh:
i did something B A D i installed the Widget Pro Ultimate but i didnt make a copy of my layout file - what do i do if i want to go back? does this damage Mobile Shell 3? and i have gone into edit the lifestyle screen but have no way of saving it :( and nothing else i can do? except remove or move things

EDIT : so i uninstalled both widgetproultimate and MS3 then reinstalled MS3 got it back to normal - i think im going to stay away from this til i find out how to do everything - is there like a uer guide or something about showing how to use everything?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Hmmm you should have read (and followed) my notes about backing up everything before installing Pro Plus shouldnt you :P

Everything is pretty much self explanatory if you read through my post it will tell you everything thats included and if you goto 'add widget' in the menu then most widget descriptions are easy enough to figure out what they are. I will try to make a pdf with all the widgets and widget names so people know exactly what one to choose but if you arent comfortable with trying things out then you are better off not installing pro plus for now.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ArmageddonAsh:
the funny thing is that i had read that thing and yet i still managed to forget lol - its okay now though.

as for the WidgetProUltimate, i couldnt add any widgets or anything - the menu that ussally at bottom of screen for Contacts and Launcher was gone and i couldnt save or cancel any thing i edited in the lifestyle menu - how do i get them back up so as i can edit widgets already there i just cant add anything else or save what i have done. its not that im not comfortable using it - its that i cant use it as i have no way of addig widgets or saving them or anything
[Windows Mobile Themes] shaolinsoldier:
any chance of getting a cab for this?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Techvir:
mskip,

One question.

You have mentioned this in the download post of june 29th

PLUS The bottom Menu Bar has been stripped of the 3 middle buttons and made useable for anything at all to be placed there

(make it small size if you want it to go close to the bottom of the screen)[/

COLOR]

Can you tell me how to make it small ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] burtcom:
Click and hold on the widget -- you'll see the option to make it small.
[Windows Mobile Themes] madtoad:
Thanks a lot！！！

Thanks a lot！！！
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
I dont know why you lost the buttons at the bottom but its not supposed to be like that so I think you just had a bad install.

Make sure you are installing the correct resolution for your phone and also that you have the latest version of spb mobile shell installed (3.0.1 final).

As long as thats all ok then I would sugest trying to install it again and it should be fine.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
How is everyone getting on with Pro Plus Ultimate? Are people happy with the bottom area not having the 3 buttons and being able to put whatever they want down there or would your prefer the next version of Pro Plus to go back to an 'Extras' version with the buttons. Might be a good idea to get some screenshots of what people are doing with the extra space.

I just want some customer feedback of what everyone likes and doesnt like :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
As already answered by Burtcom, if you go into the 'Edit Layout' screen (click on the menu button at the bottom right and then 'Edit layout', then you can click on any standard widget and you will get the option to make it Small, Medium or Text Size. If you click on Small then the surrounding box should only just be bigger then the widget so that yo ucan place it close to the bottom of the screen.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Sorry I totally forgot about this I will try and post the qa_layouts file today some time for those who want the transparent bottom bars as well as a full cab for the custom background version.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ali1010:
Hi mskip!

you made me very happy with your pro plus ultimate with any button at the bottom and made my phone very awesome!!! lol

more customizable, accessible, functionable and wannable!

hope more great ideas to come.

thank you.
[Windows Mobile Themes] slawcop`:
I can tell you I like it...especially with the picture I had added...it is an awesome job you did...thank you very much for all your hard work for us VGA users...I appreciate it...
[Windows Mobile Themes] baldoski:
Cheers master mskip!!!

To answer your poll, I really like the Ultimate but i went back to Extras for the 3 bottom bar icons. I like to see them always whichever screen i go in the lifestyle.

Really enjoy your widgets, one request tho for future updates: can you please include a medium size Analog Clock2.

Thanks....
[Windows Mobile Themes] 3DPiper:
Arg.. I was hoping you could overwrite a .dat file on the fly..

Background.dat is really background.bmp which is the background used for the lifestyle layout.. I was hoping to write a program so when you press the icon, it will overwrite background.dat with another background pic so you can instantly change the background.. Press and hold to get to the settings, so you can set the 'next' background image to be the next one in the folder, or make a 'playlist', or shuffle/random, change at certain time intervals (every day, etc), etc..

But- if you can't overwrite background.dat on the fly, I don't see how it would ever work with any degree of interaction..

weather widget

Hi mskip,

your work is fantastic! Is it possible to get a weather widget with an other weather program for example PocketWeather or others? And is it possible

to show the weather on the widget for the current time?

MS weather and spb weather don't work well.

Sorry for my bad english.

ppcfox
[Windows Mobile Themes] Zepiii:
No, i don't think it's possible.

SPB don't let us create new widget :S ! Check some post before, mskip is explaining that !
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Im sure I can do that :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Zepiii:
mskip is never tired! :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Tell me about it haha im trying to figure out how to make the contact link invisible but it works differently from the application link so I will have to have a play around with it :p Also gota make all the menubars in the custom background version transparent and make a mdeium size version of analogue clock2 :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Themes] ArmageddonAsh:
yeah i have 3.1 build 6501 i also have touch hd so which version of prowidgetplus should i get?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
If you have a Touch HD then your phones resolution is WVGA so you want to install the VGA version. If you installed the QVGA version that may account for the errors.
[Windows Mobile Themes] baldoski:
YEEEY!!!

will that be just a cab install or a new set of ProPlus Widgets?

either one, eagerly awaiting it already....

Zepii is right, you never get tired man!!!

I just read a long list of requests here.... and i'm sure more are coming :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] ArmageddonAsh:
thanx got it installed fine. though the lifestyle screen only has 3 screen things instead of the 7 that came with the one i installed first. how do i change the menu where the launcher and contacts thing is
[Windows Mobile Themes] shaolinsoldier:
I like the ultimate version better much better to place your own buttons at bottom. i will post some screeshots when i get home from work..
[Windows Mobile Themes] ArmageddonAsh:
right i downloaded the ultimate version, so why cant i change or remove the Launcher and Contacts buttons for? i would just like to have one button there and have it so that widgets can be placed closer to the bottom of the screen - any ideas anyone?
[Windows Mobile Themes] ArmageddonAsh:
right so now i have managed to get the 7 screens up - turned out they were placed the other side of where i was going :) it just means reorganising my widgets.i also now have the 3 buttons instead of 2 when looking around certain things - but now im wondering if its possible to completely remove the 2 icons things to the side of where the 2 buttons were (carousel and for the widgets) - maybe make it so that you just have to press down anywhere on the screen to bring it up then there would be more room for icons and everything

but other then that at the moment everything is going okay, great app so far :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] ndk2k4:
I love having the bottom buttons gone. This allows for a lot more flexibility.

Here is what Ive done with the extra space, and I personally like it a lot more this way.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Great idea putting the notification buttons at the bottom :p

Looks SAWWEEEEEEET!!! :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] ArmageddonAsh:
i will post what mine looks like once i find a good app to take screenshots
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Spb Screenshot is a great free program which I use to take all the screenshots for my releases. You map a hardware button to take a screenshot and can set a delay if required.

You can find it in the 'Programs' section of My Downloads site (in my signature).
[Windows Mobile Themes] ArmageddonAsh:
thanx i have it. i will post screens soon. any way to remove carasel and other link on lifestyle screen and make it so that u have to press down anywhere on sceen to get widget options
[Windows Mobile Themes] Indiant:
Which version is that? by date ,for WQVGA.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ArmageddonAsh:
Right heres the first screen, not much really going on here - im going to keep this one nice and clean - has the date, time, lock button message, call info as well as battery info - is it possible to change the colour of the text? for the battery i think it might need changing as you cant really see it

EDIT : sorry dont know how to make it smaller :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] alkhadraaw:
Big thank you

thank you very much for all your hard work for us
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
They can be removed but its feasable to do so. If you take off the menu button (bottom right) then you have no way of adding widgets or changing the background of the lifestyle screens. You can click on existing widgets to change their size or remove them but you cant add widgets that way. If the Carousel button was taken out then there would be no way of accessing the carousel screen as its not possible to add it as a widget. They could also be moved but I think they are better left where they are.

[Windows Mobile Themes] Indiant:
Thank you, your fantastic work mskip!
[Windows Mobile Themes] ArmageddonAsh:
thats what i was thinking. im not too bothered about the carasel, i dont use it anyway. but couldnt the widgets be turned into a program like feature and made so that it can be set as a widget and then allow that page to be edited and have more widgets added and when you wanted to edit another page just move it over. im guessing this aint possible which is a shame as i would have like the lifestyle screen to have as little getting in the way as possible, and maybe have an app launcher (like Android)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Anakha56:
First off thank you mskip for the lovely app works like a charm.

Secondly I have Resco contact manager 1.5 yet when I edit my registery as described below for sms:

The sms program does not launch, I have tried the path reading "\Program Files\Resco Contact Manager\RPhoneMan -sms" as well as "RPhoneMan -sms" and RPhoneMan -sms without the "". When I press the messaging icon and choose "Text Messages" nothing happens same applies for the widget showing read sms's. Any ideas?

I have also tried putting .exe on the end of RPhoneMan with no result.

the menu and panels icons are small enough to put both on on side one above the other. that would make space for 4 buttons on the bottom bar.

@mskip

I downloaded your latest qvga some days ago and installed again.

As my device is a palm treo pro with 320x320 screen, there are some glitches, and they are the same as in earlier versions of widgets pro plus.

In one of my former posts (#2710) I posted some screenshots; that just how ms301 with newest widgets pro plus ultima loaded looks like.

:(

Please speak in english or use a translator if you wish to post in this forum.

As I dont have a SQ320 device I have no way of testing for compatability. If you can list all problems with the latest ProPlus QVGA Ultimate then I will try and fix them as soon as I can for the next release which will be Monday (nothing major, just a few new widgets and fixes).

Second: i need a larger, digital Clock without a frame or something... but i could find a simple clock :(

If theres no such clock out there, the following is also nice, but i couldn't find it anyway :(

Would be very nice, if someone could help me... and sorry for my english, its just shoolknowlege... ;)

For the digital clock you can install my WidgetsProPlus (basic or ultimate version) which has manyy clocks for you to choose from. Click on the link in my signature for the resolution you require.

Not sure about the keyboard but it certainly looks nice lol if you find it let me know :)

i've installed your ultimate version - very nice, but one thing is very courios... in the livestyle screen (my favorit one) there are NO Buttons down to add widgets or something, no phone, just nothing... there is nothing oO

You try Launch Manager yet?

Launch Manager is really sweet, small memory footprint and very easy to skin. It is not free but it is free to try out, I like it........best part is the speed and the memory use.
[Windows Mobile Themes] MrMex:
Hi guys,

i'm now using the WidgetsProPlus Ultimate and its realy cool, but there seems to be a Problem with the clock and (landscape) scrolling... expectly the modern clocks (with the mirror-effect) let the scrolling lag realy hard :( The other clocks from WidgetsProPlus also lag a bit the scrolling speed, but the modern slows realy down....

Do some others have this problem too? Is there a way to solv it?

My phone is a htc diamond.

edit) I tryed to install the clock from this posting, but it doesn't work - after this, there was an Custom Widgets insted of ProPlus Mods... Clock was in the list, but after clicking it does not apear... i like it and i think because of beeing "standard" it could work with the scrolling better? Please dont missunderstood me, i like the WidgetsProPlus very much and i use it because of the other cool features, but the clock slows down the scrolling so much :(

edit2) = solved

One thing i forget: how can i reduce the pages of the livescreen / landscape back to 3 (or may 4), because 7 is realy to much... landscape is not looking so good anymore ;) - it is somewhere in "pagecount"... but how to edit the registry?? edit3) - got it: http://oyox.de/index.php?/archives/95-WinMobil-SPB-Mobile-Shell-3-anpassen.html
