I installed this per the instructions, but i don't have any more widgets than a clean 3.5 install.

Am i supposed to get more widgets?

I installed the full VGA cab located:

[Windows Mobile Themes] rfarrah:
When you tap on the lower right-hand corner selector/softkey, then click on add widgets, you should see a bunch of available widgets. After selecting one, you can then change the skin on that one to customize it further.

Play around with changing the skins - that's where a LOT of different options are available. Hope this helps.

todayagenda plugin and email accounts

anyway to make widgets out of today plugins? That would be a great add to this tool since there are so many today plugins and they seem to be a standard.

or something similar to get...

1. todayagenda app functionality. This app rules. Allows me to show only upcoming appointments in very small font on 1 line per appointment and also shows location I have it specified to only show start time so I can see all appointments on today screen in a relatively small area. Even if I have 10 appointments.

2. new (I could live with unread) email qty for each email account, not just the sum of all and be able to go into the specified account directly.

If I could get these two working this app would be almost perfect.

Any help is appreciated.

Mskip: thanks a lot for your brilliant work! You make our devices better :)

I love the combination of the tiny borderless picture frames and the invisible links. But I'm not able to place them in the bottom area where the original bottom menu from Spb was located. I've tried to place some pictures (with invisible links over) in the bottom area. But after a soft reset, the pictures move just above the bottom area. The invisible links stay where I placed them though. Is there any fix for this?

[UPDATE] PROPLUS ULTIMATE 2ND NOV 2009 (ALL SUPPORTED RESOLUTIONS)

Changelog:

2nd November 2009

+ Added Lots of Box Skins for Shortcut Links. Large (IPhone style) in blue, green, red, yellow, white and black. Standard size in same colours but with 2 different size selection frames. Standard box style in red, blue green and yellow.

+ Added Text Only Link so you can have just the text with no image. The selection size is only half the normal height of a shortcut link so you can have many more links on the screen.

+ Added small selection frame on professional status widget

+ Added Large Invisible Link

The large coloured link boxes will make your screen look amazing. I have spent alot of time making them look just right.

More info and Download Links on first post!!

Can't seem to find a reference to this in your threads-

In running latest 6.5.1 (23081), rather than sitting on top of the soft key bar, Mobile Shell runs underneath it, causing all of the bottom buttons (including back and menu) to be blocked. Is there a way in Ultimate to correct for this, or hide the bottom bottoms and replace them with widgets on the layout? :confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] rfarrah:
What phone? In case it makes a difference whether you're using vga or wvga.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ebb:
Verizon touch pro 2 (cdma). Its wvga.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kezling:
Hm.. I've tested today your cab (that adds 3 new carousel panels) and now the panel "task manager" is working (but 2 others - are not). May be the problem is not in layouts_qa? It seems, that this panels should be added without modification of layouts_qa. Thanks.

If its just a program then you can install it and use an invisible link on your weather icon to open the program. If its been designed for TF3D then its not possible.

calendar

Hello.

your widgets are fantastic.

i have a sugestion if i may. you could make a small calendar, only with the apointments, but, half the size of the screen, making it possible to put below the clock and in the middle of the screen. like the image that i have uploaded.

Thanks.

40x40 for indicators for WVGA ?

By any chance do you have 40x40 indicators (VM, eMail, etc) instead of SPB's 50x50 ? The reason is that on WVGA (800x480) I could use all 6 indicators in a SINGLE line if they are 40x40 !

A variation on professional that is sized to fit 6 evenly spaced widgets across one line
[Windows Mobile Themes] ardesmond:
Right, not suggesting you actually incorporate that specific program, just saying that it would be cool to have a widget that loads a radar image as an option under weather.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Already taken care of in the latest version. If you add a single Notification widget then you can change its skin to Professional Small (40x40) which I added to allow more notifications across the screen :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] bogdatov:
Great. Thanks a LOT !

Hi MSkip

The more I get, the more I want... :-)

I have already asked once for an invisible Skin for contacts. I humbly bring it to your attention again. I want to put a group-photo on the background and put invisible contacts over the different faces.

Your latest colorful shortcuts created the wish for the same kind of frames for the communication manager widget so that it matches the shortcut widgets. Would be great if you implemented them someday

Great job btw

Lifestile bottom bar missing

Hi MSkip,

I still have a problem on my kaiser. Lifestyle bottom bar (carousel) is missing so I can't add widget or exit from edit mode.

TPC ROM (http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=378)

SPB 3.5

MSSkip Ultimate QVGA (02-nov)

I've contacted you yesterday. I was using a wm6.5.1 rom (with start menu on the bottom) so you suggest to me to change this rom.

I've already used TPC rom with prevous version of ultimade mod without problem.

Thank you

L.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Do you mean the carousel and menu buttons are totally missing or that your rom has a menubar at the bottom which is covering the space where the spb buttons should be?

This rom has the start menu in the "old" position linke MW6.

in Lifestyle the carousel and menu button are missing.

[Windows Mobile Themes] rebecker:
Do you have a revised ETA on the update? I know there's now an RC version, but I'm anxious to try 3.5.1 in hopes it'll fix an issue (which Spb DOES list as fixed).

Thanks in advance.

[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
What resolution did you need? 3.5.1.RC kinda threw me coz it means I have to go through everything to make sure its all still compatable. I swear spb only does it to annoy me haha :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] hermann4711:
warning: you have to remove spb too if you remove mskips themes

warning: you have to remove spb mobileshell3.5 too if you remove mskips themes. spb mobile shell doesn't work anymore after you removed one of mskips themes.

You have to remove and to reinstall mobileshell.

Be careful!

:(
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Thats because when ProPlus is uninstalled the qa_layouts.dat file and some modded graphics files are deleted that Mobile Shell needs. Same as any other theme. You should always reinstall Mobile Shell if you uninstall any mods.

Small flip clock

Hi

Sorry if my english is bad, but I have to ask a question. I think I read in another thread about someone who asked for a small flip clock to be added in ProPlus Ultimate or Elegance. I would really love that too in Ultimate, is it possible?

Thanks for a great job, really love this!
[Windows Mobile Themes] rebecker:
Man...I don't need to have you cater just to me, but I love it!:D QVGA is what I need.

Spb will annoy me too if they didn't fix the issue of tasks slowing everything down to a crawl on my TyTN II. Other than that, I had the perfect MS/Ultimate setup.

BTW, the final IS released on their site. So, you should be safe for a while. ;) Thanks again.

-Bob-
[Windows Mobile Themes] hermann4711:
but that's kind of "dirty programming" :-(

if i would make such an app (what i don't do, as i don't know the rules of this kind of programming) i would go this way:

1. i let my app create a sub-dir in spb mobileshell named files_backup

2. afterwards all the files, that will be changed by my app would be copied to that sub-dir

3. then my app would make all the needed changes

4. the user could use it or he/she don't like it and uninstall it

5. the uninstall-routine would then delete all the changes my app made

6. copy the original files back to their original places

7. delete the sub-dir named files_backup

and all is clean and the underlying app (mobileshell) would run as before.

:)

From the Lifestyle screen press the menu button (bottom right), then goto setting and under Enabled Layouts you can select Lifestyle, Professional or Both. You can also change which screen the Launcher and Contact button opens in the settings.

Do you mean the 3 that are grouped together? I can make them smaller but I think the spacing will stay the same, with the professional ones I think Professional (small) is the smallest you can safely make them without the graphics suffering.

i've installed ms 3.5.1 and mskip pp ulitmate for 3.5.1 and i cant see any of new widgets. same stuff.

i've followed install procedure...

:mad:

only, i can see is changed lifestyle screeen, but i have some numbers on the bottom of the page, and i'm confused because when i press right or left it goes randomly (1-4-7-2-3...).

driving me crazy

and where is photo album widget like msskip has on his signature...
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
They arent all seperate like 3.0.1, they are grouped together and you select the new widgets by changing the skin.

Goto menu, add widget then select something like a digital clock. Then click on the clock on the screen and select change skin. You can now go through the list of available widgets and get a preview of each widget.

I have custom widgets for Analogue clock, Digital clock, Battery, Backing panels, Picture widget (frames), Shortcuts (boxes and invisible links), Birthdays, Calendar and maybe some more I forgot lol.

EDIT: My signature pic is from Manila2D and not Spb Mobile Shell.
[Windows Mobile Themes] xmarkom:
thanks msskip for very fast and professional answear.

i'm also looking for photo album widget
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Thats the picture frame widget.
[Windows Mobile Themes] xmarkom:
one more question and i will pause for a day ;)

it is difficult to call first (professional) screen or any other screen when you are in lifestyle layout because of small icons / tiny bottom bar.

is there any chance to put regular bottom bar on your lifestyle screen.

THNX
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Are you talking about ProPlus Ultimate or Ultimate Elegance?

Ultimate has no bottom bar and no icons, just the carousel button on the left and menu buttom on the right. The rest of the space at the bottom is useable.

Ultimate Elegance has a narrow page selector bar at the bottom with the carousel and menu buttons at the side of the selector bar. The reason it is small is to maximise useable screen space.

Played with a dat file......

Hi mskip ! I've just started to do some skinning not long ago and I was playing with your qa_weather_plus_medium_skin.dat file.....sorry :o and well I changed the icones. Weather bmp file as the new weather icons on a red background like yours and the weather_m bmp file is a black background with the weather icones all white, as you can see in the zip below...

Now 2 things, first what am I doing wrong, 'cause well I get a blank spot, no icon show up and second, if it's to complicated do change them....well would you have the original .dat file....I kinda lost it by mistake :o:o:o

So any help possible :confused:....please :D

[Windows Mobile Themes] rfarrah:

[Windows Mobile Themes] rfarrah:
Installed Ultimate with no problems (Thanks again!)

I copied over one of the fundutela.dat files you provided in your earlier zip for 3.0 (really like the electric blue) and it did create the background for the professional page, but not the background for the carousel.

I'll double check the installation this weekend, but I thought I'd put this out there in case others are seeing the same thing.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
I split them up so you can have different backgrounds. You should read my first post properly mate :P

Professional Screen background is qa_fundotela.dat (set to hero background on installation)

Other Screens (including carousel) is qa_fundotela2.dat (set to black on installation)

If you want them all to be the same then just rename your file accorfingly and copy across to your device. Then restart :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] rfarrah:
You're right. What's funny is that I saw the #2 file and assumed it was something I had done on a previous mod. Duh.

Thanks, buddy. Guess I owe you another pint. (What do pints go for in your neck of the woods?)

Two things,

First mskip you are a Freaking Boss, I love your Work. I need to figure out how to get you some money, I can't give via pay pal, because my account was comprimised several years ago. And I still have the same bank card, so then i was thinking well I could just get your address and send you cash, but then I was like oops you probably use euros. Sooner or later i will figure something out, I mqay even just go get a new card so I can start using Paypal again.

Second, Is there a way for you get the HTC weather as a separate app to use in your shell app, I like the weather in the tf3d , but I don't care for tf3d, I use Mobile Shell with your Ultimate pro plus, but I'd love to get the Weather with the rain with wipers and so on to work with it.
