If you have your registration serial number for 3.0.1 then you can just install the trial version and use that number to register 3.5.

(Taken from first post):

Note 2: To Backup your screens layout for future restoration. Using a Registry Editor export the (HKLM, Software, Spb Software House 2, Spb Mobile Shell, Widgets) Folder. It will back up all 7 screens and your spb favorites contacts. BEFORE restoring your registry backup, delete the previous registry folder so there is no chance of anything being left that could interefere with your restoration.
[Windows Mobile Themes] rndchef:
you are right and appreciate the response. Thanks for detailing out the backup process. Just to clarify, after export widget folder to Storage Card, reinstall MS3.5 with Elegance, go into Regedit and delete new Widgets Folder and restore old widgets folder from my Storage Card?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
As long as you have exported the widgets folder then after you reinstall elegance you can delete the same widgets folder, then import the saved registry entries and soft reset to complete the restore.

Does anyone have some problem with spb wheater?

The wheater works, but after one day the widget does not change.

For example, if today it's sunny and tomorrow is cloudy, the widget tomorrow will not changhe.But if you tap on it, you can see that it's cloudy.

if you do an update, the widget will change...
[Windows Mobile Themes] numero2:
Me too.

I can see the correct wheater icon	inserting again the weather widget (new one), even with the widget that marks the old forecast on the same page.

All the weather widget (Also the original one) don't update their icon.
[Windows Mobile Themes] numero2:
My mistake

What's written is related to version 3.5 spb and Mskip Ultimate
[Windows Mobile Themes] numero2:
Probably an image can describe my bug better than my poor english

Red square: yesterday weather (correct with weather information yesterday, not today)

blue square: today weather (correct with today information)

As you can see the weather icon don't update (i don't make update weather information today), the second one (blue square) has been created few minute ago ... but the other one don't update icon.

Sorry again for my english

Thanks for help

Hi Mskip.

How long do you think it will take you to release the version only with widgets?

Including the new ones(photoframe looks cool)

Thank you in advance.
[Windows Mobile Themes] floriske.nl:
I was wondering if it is possible to change the background of all other screens (Except Pro and Lifestyle) without MSkip?

I'm happy with the looks of MS3.5 as is, all I would like to do is to change the background of the other screens to match with my lifestyle background. Preferable without installing MSkip (simply to safe resources)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Im updating every pack tonight including my New Link Boxes which I only completed today. I will be posting a Basic Cab too with widgets only and no mods.

I will post on twitter as soon as everything is out if you want to get a heads up, I just have to double test everything and upload the files :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
I posted instructions in the Mobile Shell 3.5 Tricks and Tips thread on how to change panel images. Have a look in the first few posts over there to see where it is :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] floriske.nl:
Thx a lot! Completely missed it!

Attached is the result in a Zip file, if you like it, feel free to use it.

It's a custom Carbon Samsung omnia themed wallpaper.

This is the Lifestyle BG jpg

I know, this doesn't center nicely in Landscape, but I hardly use lifestyle and this way in Portrait it nicely aligns with the Pro, and other backgrounds.

Hi mskip,

due to my donation I made, now I've got a christmas wish ;-))

Is it possible to enlarge the bottom bar (with numbers or dots) to make it finger friendly? So your mods would get the maximum of an advanced shell ...

Greets,

Wolf
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
I can make a custom version with a bigger page selector bar but of course that means taking space away from the main widget screen. How tall do you want it to be? Double existing height? 3 times height? Let me know exactly how big you want it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] bigube:
At least double would be nice, Thank You. Great Work by the way.
[Windows Mobile Themes] casiomenner:
Hello mskip,

what an instant reply :-))) ...

I would be happy with a height of a common button (about 60px)? Otherwise I would like to know how to realize that. Then I would take seperate buttons with a link/shortcut to a page ...

But I'm happy with all you can offer ;-)

Could you possibly do this for SPB MS 3.5??? I tested it and it works good on my X1.

Thanx in advance,

Wolf

BTW I wouldn't use SPB MS without your mods. Highly customizable, nice looking ... and not at least it takes less ram than TF3D ...
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
I dont think 60pixels high is a good idea as there are 7 of them going across the screen and are only about 34pixels wide so it would look a bit odd. I will try them at 36pixels high so they should be perfectly useable with your finger but not take up too much of the screen.

What resolution do you want it in?
[Windows Mobile Themes] casiomenner:
Maybe you are confused by the 60px ;-). I use the X1 with WVGA and since now SPB MS 3.5.

I really would be appreciated if you could do that and your advice to use 36px sounds good.

Another beer is on the run ...

Cheers

I just noticed this is the Mobile Shell 3.0.1 thread LOL.

Is it ok if I make the mod for Mobile Shell 3.5.1 (latest version on their site). You will have to install the latest version for the theme to work properly but it will be fully up to date then. No point me making it for 3.5 :rolleyes:

Will make sure its finger friendly dont worry :p

Whats your paypal id so I can verify and thank you properly :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] casiomenner:
But this lasts in the need of ProPlus_Elegance_Ultimate for WVGA version for SPB MS 3.51 ;-)

reinstalling nightmare

hi there. after upgrading spb mobile shell, i tried to reinstall proplus also. the strange:rolleyes: thing is that it just won't uninstall. not in "remove programs" and by init again. it just give me the rotataing coloured balls and eventually returns me to the nessage that the installation was unsuccesful.:confused: mmm this is frustrating since i would like to use it again... can you help me with that one?

thnkz!

specs:

HTC TD2.

[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Firstly if you have Mobile Shell 3.5.1 why are you posting in the 3.0.1 thread?

At what stage did you try to uninstall ProPlus and which version?

Have you tried the manual uninstall method in my FAQ's?

file:///J:/Programs For DVD/Windows...tes/The.Sims.3.Update.1.6.6-BAT/Crack/TS3.exeQ3. I cant uninstall Elegance or Ultimate, it just hangs and doesnt do anything.

If you have a registry program on your phone then delete the following 2 folders, then delete your program files, spb mobile shell folder.

You should now be able to reinstall mobile shell and then the new version of Ultimate. It will tell you it has to uninstall the previous version first but just hit ok and be patient because it might not do anything for a bit and then it will be fine.

1. Exit Mobile Shell (Spb Menu, Settings, Spb Mobile Shell, Menu button, Exit)

2. In the Registry Delete (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Spb Software House\Shared\Spb Menu)

3. In the Registry Delete (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Spb Software House 2)

4. Using a File Manager Delete Program Files, Spb Mobile Shell folder

5. Soft Reset and install Mobile Shell

Hi, Mskip,

Have you worked yet on the 320x320 resolution? As noted elsewhere in this thread the ultimate qvga version mostly works (and is slick!), but I'd love to be able to use elegance instead. Do you have an idea when you'll make the 320x320 version available?

hd2

Hi MSkip,

I ended up buying the HD2, will have it this week. Thanks for your info on the device. Just to be sure, there is no way to have both HTC Sense and Shell 3.5, right? It is either one or another? I saw some threads, but am kind of confused right now.

Thanks.

PS: saw that you have a tutorial on HD2 flashing. Well, I guess I'll be following another thread of yours as I bought a Telstra HD2 and will have to change ROMs when I get it! :)

[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
If you need any help with flashing your device when you get it or customizing it in any way then just let me know and I will help out in any way I can. Also if you need help deciding on a rom or with any apps/mods/games :)

You can have both installed but I think you have to turn one off to enable the other one. There was a thread on how to get them running in harmony a while ago but I cant recall much of it sorry.

Glad you joined the HD2 club im sure you wont be disapointed by it, especially with the new roms that have just come out the speed is truely amazing :D

Hi,

I really love this Widget Pack, absolutely amazing.

I installed your Pack on a fresh clean MS install and did a reboot. Everything was fine until I tried to change the background in lifestyle screen. Nothing happend, even after restarting MS. The I found your hint deleting the background.dat would help.

It worked, but now I can't slide through the screens anymore. Everything left is the middle screen. Also, the scrollbar on the bottom is gone!

No Manila, Sense or Titanium active, just SPB MS.

Any idea?

Versions: MS 3.01 Build 6501

ROM: Diamond Lovers v3.08 WWE WM6.5.5

Radio: 1.09.25.23

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
What resolution do you want a link for?

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] TheBadFish:
OK, so I tried again from scratch, now it worked. Don't know what the problem was.

But another effect happens now. I use ICThru to make my Top Notification "transparent". When I apply a background it will be stretched and looks ugly, when i triple the background so that it is 1440x480 it doesn't seem to be streched, but ther is an offset of the picture so see a part of the "next" picture.

How do I have to change the picture to fit my vga screen?
[Windows Mobile Themes] gevike:
I like the proplus elegance, i'm using it for my omnia2. I tried several times to change the bckgrnd image but no luck so far.

I copied an image into the spb shell folder and renamed it as requested. then restarted but nothing, only all the icons and widgets were scrammed into 1 page.

Wouldn't it be possible to write a script that will do all the steps described?

If not, what are the requisites for the image file? Any jpg is ok? Or png?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
You should give my ProPlus Freedom Theme a try as it includes ALL my other themes and alot of new MenuBars which are all selectable from a Manager App (including the Automation of changing backgrounds).

If you dont want to change to ProPlus Freedom then you need to make sure you STOP Spb Mobile Shell and delete the Backgrounds.dat file from the Program Files/Spb Mobile Shell folder before restarting the phone. A new Backgrounds.dat file will be created on reboot with your new image and it should show up fine.

The background image needs to be a jpg with a resolution of 960x748 and copied to the Spb Mobile Shell folder before selecting it.

Im assuming you want to change the image on the Lifestyle Screen as you didnt state which screen you wanted to change the background on. The information I have just provided is for changing the background on the Lifestyle Screen.

Well I can tell you that it does not work on my TyTN II with a fresh flashed win 6.5 rom and a fresh install of spb mobile shell. It doesnt load any today plugin...i can access the start menu and navigate that way but no toady plugin loads until i uninstall your cab.... I dont know if this helps but maybe a conflict with win 6.5

[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
If you can that would be great thanks mate :D

As usual uninstall MS3 and any extras you have installed then reset and reinstall MS 3.0.1 before trying ProPlus Elegance. Soft reset after installing Elegance and let me know how you get on.

Mark :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Mattster_spv:
Ok, first attempt and MS3.01 won't start.

I'm installing it into the device memory of a just flashed 6.5 Rom (see signature) (with all left over traces of MS3.01 deleted from Storage Card.)

I'm using the same MS3.01 Final cab that I always have.

I'm pressing reset as soon as the installation confirmation screen appears for your cab. (There is a warning on that page that the program may not work as it was designed for use with a previous version of Windows.).

I'll try once more.

Mattster.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Hmm I tried it on my OLD Hermes with WM6.5 flashed and it installed fine and I got no warning message :confused: What resolution is your phone? I wish I could at least recreate the crash so I can figure out whats causing it :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] Mattster_spv:
Ok, I tried again, and it worked!!! :D

The only difference was after the installation of your cab I clicked on ok before doing a soft reset.

As far as I can now see, it's working.

You have not made the bottom bar transparent have you (like in the last version)? The grey line with three widgets is permanent this time?

Also, the background image on lifestyle does not seem to scroll. It's fixed on one part of the image. Actually, I can't change it!!! The changer does not seem to work. It is stuck on the background I chose when you said change it immediately after MS3 starts.

Mattster
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
I thought about making the bottom area transparent but as a theme I think the menubar looks good with the screen selector bar. Plus for some reason I had trouble making it work without the menubar lol.

To make the screens selectable and able to constantly rotate I had to make 7 seperate lifestyle screens so that each one is selected when scrolled left or right. That means each lifestyle screen is only 1 page wide and therefore the image wont scroll with the screens so thats not an error.

After soft restarting try changing the image to any of the standard ones (not my custom one) and see if it changes. If it does then you should be able to change to my new screen.

Glad it worked the second time I will have to include that part in my insttallation instructions and see if it fixes anyones problems.

Thanks :)

Well the new cab didn't work for me..a fresh install of mobile shell then installed your cab and reset after reboot no today screen would load. I'm using TPC V11 Chumpstyle if this is any help..
[Windows Mobile Themes] degavi:
Not this time either :(

Sad to say that your new cab does not work, same as the old one and i hav done exactly as the tips in your thread. Clean install of shell and Elegance cab, softreset and it freezes before it loads on screen. I can se it in SKTools as a running process and when i kill it everything else on the phone works.

My device is an Omnia with winmo 6.1 and WQVGA screen.

I hope my info helps you a little bit when u try to fix it.

Dont give up u are the man who sets the mark for SPB to follow :);)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
If I make a few different versions with various things taken out do you think you would be able to install them one at a time and see if any work? I need to narrow down which part of the cab is causing the trouble but its working perfectly on all my emulators so unless I have access to a WQVGA device (which I dont :() then the project is going to come to a halt..

IF you arent able to do it is there anyone else willing to do tests with ProPlus Elegance?
[Windows Mobile Themes] degavi:
ofcourse i can and will help u. just send the cabs and i will try .

Hey Mark,

I LOVE your Ultimate version and think in the end it's the one I'll continue to use. But if you and Mattster need a third party to test anything with WQVGA let me know. I mean if you're creating a bunch of builds with minor changes and need another guinea pig phone let me know.

I'm On a WQVGA Omnia with WM 6.5

Mark -- I noticed that horizontal lines do not extend the width of my Tilt's screen as they are left justified (portrait mode). Should I be able to center them?

In addition, is there a way (that I am overlooking) to create shortcuts for toggling Wi-Fi and Bluetooth off and on? I do not need, and prefer not to use, the Wireless Manager...

In my "regular", non-SPB today screen, I use HomeScreen PlusPlus UI's (formerly BatteryStatus Advanced) tray icons. I have an icon for Wi-Fi and one for Bluetooth, and with a single click, I can turn either on or off.

For me, that is simpler than clicking on Wireless Manager and then clicking on one of those icons.

Would be nice if those shortcuts' icons changed to reflect their current condition, as they do with HomeScreen PlusPlus UI.

Thoughts?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
The horizontal lines arent supposed to extend the width of the screen but if you want to go across the whole width then just put 2 lines ontop of each other and have 1 on the far left and the other on the far right to make 1 longer line. They are a bit hard to grab sometimes but you soon get the hang of where to click and move your other widgets away first so you dont grab them by mistake.

Theres no single widget or shortcut to turn the bluetooth or wifi on or off, the only way through mobile shell that im aware of is using the wireless manager.

So im guessing the install worked for you? what phone do you have and resolution is it? If you can give some feedback it would be appreciated as I need to know it works ok before I go ahead with VGA compatability.
[Windows Mobile Themes] MarkAtHome:
The problem with the line wasn't that it didn't extend to the full width of the Tilt, but that it seemed to default left justified, and I was unable to move it center, up or down. So it's my old, pudgie fingers at fault...

Well, since the coding is beyond me, and if you are bored, maybe there are some clues, as to how, here: http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_batterystatus_xda_neo_wm5_ext_im_cs.htm . If not, nevermind! :D

Yes, I installed it on a QVGA HTC/ATT Tilt (Kaiser), running ATT's last official 6.1 release (it's unlocked, ready for a ROM, but I'm chicken).

Wasn't crazy about the Pro backround (sorry), so I changed it, but noticed that while I was watching it, the clock's minutes were changing from 23 to 24 and both the 3 and 4 remained displayed, overlapping each other. Moving the screen to the carousel and back fixed that. That's all I did with the Pro screen, since I really don't use it.

I've not run into any problems yet with the Lifestyle home screen other than my pudgie fingers placing the widgets where I want them (and had them prior to this adventure).

I'm not sure what I think about the bottom screen scroll button as it takes up some screen space, and I don't use that many screens (yet) where swiping doesn't do the trick for me. Maybe an option?

Will keep playing and let you know if I come across something of more value... ;)
