Oh, that's really a cool idea! The only thing is, how do you get a widget to lay over the contacts button on the bottom? Mine stop at the invisible barrier just above the bar with the launcher and contacts.

Damn, i have VGA. I have no idea what i'm doing wrong. Do i just delete the entire entry for those buttons? also, all the entries under the different resolutions for positioning and whatnot? Because that's what i've been doing... maybe you could upload your menubar file, so i can see what you've taken out if you can't edit my xml file?

Phone Profile -

I have one thing I have been struggling to figure out. I want to have a phone profile similar to Phone Alarm (I do own that product) where I can see what profile is in effect on my MS3 screen. From what I've seen I cannot display PA's profile there...only in Today.

I thought I'd move to SPB's Phone Suite, but then their profiles do not include the option to change phone forwarding within the profile (the only reason I even care about having enhanced profiles).

So, my end goal is to have different icons depending on which profile I have set, showing on my main Lifestyle screen. That way I will know if my phone is forwarded home, voicemail, or wherever.

Any idea if this can be accomplished? (I'd like to do this on QVGA and WQVGA)

Bottom transparent bars independent to the fondcolor- all resolutions accordingly

Firstly you apply the changes from the following post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3706870&postcount=544

With this post you edit all xml files that IN THEIR FIRST LINES have this <Layer Name="Menu" Dialog="MenuBar2"/> or this <Layer Name="Menu" Dialog="MenuBarPrograms"/> to <Layer Name="Menu" Dialog="MenuBar"/>

Every screen has an xml file that you must edit.

For examp[le launcher, call log, spb contacts. weather. spb menu etc.You just have to check the first 10 lines of each xml.

In this way the thick bars of the various screens disappear but remains a foggy glass appearence.

To remove this glass in all screens you proceed as follows:All screens all resolutions all fonds:

You just have to change two words in the index.xml file in the qp_bkg_now and ql_bkg_now dat files:

1. Firstly save the original .dat files somewhere on your storage card in case you want them back at some stage.

2. Then change the extension of your ql_bkg_now.dat and qp_bkg_now.dat to .zip.

3. Open the zip files and edit the index.xml file that is contained there as i state below.

4. Rezip the files with the known password.Copy them to your Device>Program Files>Spb Mobile Shell and click yes to overwrite existing files.

5. Reset your device.It hasnt been tested with Mikibest's iMarche skins.

You just have to change the:

<Bitmap Name="MenuBackgrd" Image="MenuBackgrd.bmp" Mask="MenuBackgrd_m.bmp"/>

to:

<Bitmap Name="MenuBackgrd" Image="MenuBackgrd_l.bmp" Mask="MenuBackgrd_l.bmp"/>

FORGOT to say that if you delete this row you get rid of the bottom bars icons too!!

I attach the files that i changed to compare or to use them in your phone.Of course my qa layouts are only for wqvga and qvga (spb 3.0.1 )

The file index.xml is inside the qp_bkg_now.dat file

Hi, how can y put the normal drop down task manager icon (upper right corner) in my spb home.

Thank's in advence.
[Windows Mobile Themes] orlandojumpoff:
Thanks it worked great! Didn't expect for it to get rid of the transparent bar, but that's a plus cause i thought i was going to have to do that with the background files posted by someone earlier. Thanks again.

Oh yeah, has anyone figured out how to use the bar space with widget adding? There has to be some sort of parameters i could adjust to allow dragging of widgets into that area. now that i got rid of the menubar i have all this space and it'd be cool if i could use it.

G Alarm tweak won't work

I have th REE Series 6 version 3 ROM on my Touch Pro and it won't let me move, delete or rename the clock.exe file in the windows file. Therefore I can't do the G Alarm fix which i really really want :) any help??
[Windows Mobile Themes] Lucas0511:
Yeah right, widget cannot overlap bottom menu bar. Maybe a solution would be to get rid of the menu bar alltogether (keeping carousel and menu functions), and put whatever widgets you like inbetween down there. Solution by NIKOSXRI I think here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3782165&postcount=1411
[Windows Mobile Themes] Lucas0511:
Zepiii, understand that you cannot keep up with the massive amount of fine tweaks coming to your wonderful thread. I would not have time either. But suggest you look at a solution like the joint account of OlixNex (HardSPL), where two members manage a thread. Dont know if threadstarter can be changed after thread opening, and if you can live with that. But with 142 pages and counting we stand a chance to loose oversight. What do you and others think?

gesture sliding problem

Following this post I experimented with gestures.

1.) after sliding to new screen "back" button on new screen isn't working. Close/Ok action mapped to HW button too (no matter which screen). If such screen after any action usually closes, in this case not. It looks to be a problem with Done/Close action. Only way how to go back is gesture - where is mistake?

2.) I'm able implement gestures only for menubar on proff home and menubarcontacts. It is way, how to do it for menubar2 and menubar on leftmost and rigmost Lifestyle pages, carrousel and favorites caroussel?

3.) It is possible implement up/down gestures as on home screens for other pages?

4.) Extend up/down sliding cycle of pro/lifestyle to pro/lifestyle/today (little bit as MS2 feature) will be maybe usefull, but I think, that MS3 isn't ready for such trick?
[Windows Mobile Themes] MACkjam:
Thank you. The buttons are back, but the bottom bar is only transparent on the lifestyle screen. It is black on all other screens. How do I get it transparent on all screens? I have tried what you have given me.

Mate i forgot to tell you that i have applied this change also from another post.

I think this is the reason of your trouble.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3706870&postcount=544

With this post you edit all xml files that IN THEIR FIRST LINES have this <Layer Name="Menu" Dialog="MenuBar2"/> or this <Layer Name="Menu" Dialog="MenuBarPrograms"/> to <Layer Name="Menu" Dialog="MenuBar"/>

Then it should work for sure.

What you see must be the bar that was removed with the other trick:it is the thick bottom bar and not the foggy semitransparent bar that i removed with my trick.

Hmm.. thanks for reply, maybe my english is not suitable to eplain problem. I have not problem slide back to home screen - main problem is, that:

- in menubar2 resp. its derrivates openL and openR commands don't work regardless in which <Plugin Class="Spb.LSP.MenuBar" Name="xxxxx" ID="xxx"> are writen.

did you make a new contacts screen? the existing one should work with the back button. thats odd

Every screen has an xml file that you must edit as i told you.

i remember launcher, call log, spb contacts. weather. spb menu etc.You just have to check the first 10 lines of each xml.

if cant do it send me your qa layout to fix it but you must learn how because you must change the xmls each time you change the qa layout.

screen reolution 320x320

is it possible to get a phone with 320x320 sqvga screen not to "zoom" wallpapers in MS3?

I understand the "sidewaus" zoom so it changes when sliding between sides in lifestyle but i see no need to zoom up and down cause i never "flip" screens that way.

i would like to make 320 high and a bit more wider wallpapers to have the "panoramic effect when sliding between lifestyle pics but not lose anything of the pic in height.

would rather have SM3 shrink than strecht pics when choosed for background

back button problem after gesture sliding

Yes I do. But the problem described is independent on this - the same behavior has any other screen with back button (i.e. agenda etc.). And more, if switching to other screen using menu button, HW button mapped to Ok/Close bring me back to home screen, if sliding, HW button hsn't this behavior. Maybe MS3 sets when switching to other screen using button (Open statement) some state variables used by Close/Done actions, but when switching OpenL, OpenR not?

He wasnt sugesting splitting the thread, merely sharing the thread maintenance with someone else. Since the first few pages have only been updated up to page 99 theres something like 500 posts to look through and update the first pages with any new themes, widgets, tricks and tips which is a huge undertaking.

I dont think the maintenance can be shared since only the person who orginated that post can then update or edit that post, but a mod could insert a new post at the beginning belonging to someone else to keep everything updated.

It all depends on zepiii's commitments and if he feels he can keep on top of all the new additions needed to keep the thread up to date. Otherwise noone will ever be able to find anything lol.

picture in livestyle screen

I´m not sure if you´ve found it. i had the same problem on my omnia. resolution is to make the picture in the size you want to see, even so small that you see 100% on screen. then you make new (only black) picture, ex in Paint with the correct resolution for your handy - omnia is 960x748. then you put your smaller image in the middle and save it (16bit) as bmp. so your picture in this new file is in the middle and has a black background around it. put the file in spb-prgr-folder and choose it as background in lifestyle-screen. then you will see your picture inthe correct size with a small black border. perhaps you have to resize it a little. you can do it in Paint - mark it and resize the picture on the black background.

I notice there is a skin for a large digital clock (va_dclock.dat on vga device. I assume qa_dclock or ma_dclock exist on other resolutions), but I've been unable to create a widget to actually use it. Has anyone figured this out?

I first tried:

<Plugin Name="ModernDClockBig" Class="Spb.LSP.ModernDClock" Skin="qa_dclock" MiddleSkin="ma_dclock" DoubleSkin="va_dclock">
<BoundRect X="0" Y="0" Width="205" Height="87"/>
</Plugin>

But nothing showed up. Poking around in the mobile shell executable, I see there's what looks like DigitalClock class, but that was even worse. Adding that widget to the Lifestyle screen made the whole Lifestyle panel to black out. Had to delete the key in a registry editor and restart Mobile shell to recover.

What seems to be different about this skin from the other digital clocks is that it provides bitmaps of the digits rather than use a font.

Any ideas?
