This is a complete redesign of Mobile Shell to make it as customiseable and accesseable as possible with all the widgets and mods from Widgets Pro Plus. Every Lifestyle Screen is selectable by use of the Bar at the bottom or by swiping left or right across the screen.

MSkip ProPlus Elegance

Contains too many widgets to count:

PLUS 7 selectable Lifestyle screens instead of the standard 3

PLUS 3 buttons on the Weather, Task Manager, Wireless Manager, Contacts Carousel and Change Backlight Screens

PLUS a 3 button menu on the Pro and Lifestyle Screens on Portrait Mode and 5 buttons on the Pro Screen in Landscape Mode

PLUS an extra favourites (contacts) screen (click on contacts and then swipe your finger on the screen to the left to bring up the extra screen), this screen is fully customizable and you can swipe off the second favourites screen.

PLUS I added a 9th panel in the Spb Menu Screen called Spb Menus which contains 10 spb mobile shell shortcuts that can be selected as application links to be placed on the screen if desired.

PLUS The screens can be continously scrolled now so you can go from screen 7 straight to screen 1 with a single left swipe

PLUS I added a Bar at the bottom (just above the MenuBar) which you can use to select exactly which screen you want to jump to without having to scroll through all the screens to get there

To use the Buttons or Backing Panels: Select the button or panel you want and place it on the screen, then select the icon or widget you want ontop of it and move it ontop of the button. If the button is ontop then when you press it you will get the clock come up.

To use the Invisible Link Widget: Select Invisible Link (medium or small) from the widgets list, then select the program you wish it to be associated with. You can then place it over an existing widget or on any part of the screen so that when you click on that area the link will run. Its totally invisible but the size must NOT be changed or the link will become visible.

To add Spb Menus to the screen: Select Menu (bottom right button) and Add Widget. Select Application from the Shortcuts section then click on the Spb Menus Folder and select one of the available shortcuts you want to place on the screen.

Note (Changing Custom Backgrounds on Pro Screen and other screens):

To change the Pro Background, rename the file to qa_fundotela.dat and copy to Spb Mobile Shell folder.

To change Background on the other screen (except Lifestyle and Pro) rename the file to qa_fundotela2.dat and copy to Spb Mobile Shell folder.

Always restart Mobile Shell after copying for it to take affect.

Do the following to make your own custom background dat file.

1. Rename any of the custom backgrounds in the zip file to qa_fundotela.zip

2. Unzip to a folder using the password: b0fm18zq

3. Make 2 backgrounds to use as follows:

For QVGA version (240x400 saved as Background.bmp and 400x240 saved as BackgroundL.bmp)

For VGA version (480x800 saved as Background.bmp and 800x480 saved as BackgroundL.bmp)

4. Move the 2 new background files into the folder you made in step2 (overwriting the originals)

5. Zip the 3 files back up with password protection (using password: b0fm18zq)

6. Rename the new file to qa_fundotela.dat (for pro screen) or qa_fundotela2.dat (for all others) and copy to your Spb Mobile Shell folder on your phone (overwriting the original)

7. Soft Reset your phone

VARIATIONS ON POST2 (QVGA, WQVGA) AND POST3 (VGA, WVGA)

Note 1: You might have trouble changing the background on the lifestyle screen. A solution provided by degavi is to first select the image you want then go in to the spb mobile shell folder and delete the background.dat file. Restart mobile shell and your desired image will appear.

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.
