I was not talking 'bout png transparency, actually I didn't explain well what I meant :p

I modified the two images containing the frame (image and visualization mask) so that the final result would be an invisible, transparent frame around the picture... but that didn't work, sort of.

The frame actually disappeared, being displayed as transparent as a result of the combined image and mask, BUT.... there's still a thin 1 pixel wide border on the right and bottom side, OUTSIDE the normal frame display area, a thin border which is not present in neither the frame image nor the mask image. I'm still trying to figure out where does it come from, but so far with no success :(

Some screens of my layout:

SPB mobile shell 3.5 + MH-Widgedts + MSkip ProPlus Ultimate Elegance + iPhone style icons 96x96

Now the only thing I miss in SPB ms is a calendar widget showing some marks for the appointments :( Hope for a new SPB version!

I have it rotating using G-Config, but with a couple problems. If i add the main ms screen, i lose the other screens rotating. If any one of the other screen, such as launcher page, i lose the main screen rotation.

Ok I understood how you did it through the icon for every shortcut. This is quite a bit of work to do it for all the shortcuts right?

It would be a case of doing the second install manually. Copying dat files across, importing registry entries and importing the xml file into the qa_layouts.dat file so that you can keep the original install.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
There is a small guide in the MH-Widgets thread... just need to install Ultimate Elegance normally and then add the MH-widgets.xml to the qa_layouts.dat (I didn't change any registry but everythig seems to be working fine)

Btw, maybe it seems obvious to many, but, after posting my screens, I am receiving a lot of PMs on how to do it (even if I posted the guide on how to use custom icons in SPB ms with wm6.5 a couple of times already), maybe it could be added to the overview in the opening posts.

Still trying, but still I don't seem to get rid of that phantom small 1 pixel wide line on the right and bottom side... I have the next version of my mods ready to be released, was hoping to include that resized frame thingy too but that image glitch is keeping me from completing it
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Coming VERY soon to a phone near you ;)

Just when you thought ProPlus packs couldn't get any better...

I have been working with the picture widgets for the last few days to start looking into new ways for improving Mobile Shell. Here goes:

* Full screen custom background on any lifestyle or Pro Page that can be changed merely by holding and changing the image.

* New coloured picture frames in multiple sizes (Red, Blue, Green)

* Picture with no frame in different that can be used for custom icons (add a picture and change it to 'No Border Tiny' or 'No Border Small' then use the invisible links (small fits over picture tiny and medium fits over picture small) to link you picture to any program or application you wish.

ProPlus Elegance has been updated and the cab has been made for QVGA. I will publish that tonight with pictures and then start updating everything else.

Hope you like it :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
Thanks mskip! :) you saved me from going nuts, I was still "fighting" with the picture widget and a damn ghost border I could not get rid of :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] catman51:
Wow, now that you have me hooked on ultimate elegance, you have something else up your sleeve to make me uninstall and start over. I'm getting pretty quick at this!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] dustinb17:
So theoretically you could divide a normal "Lifestyle" wallpaper into 7 parts, change the animation transition setting to "Sliding", Change each Background to mimic the Lifestyle Wallpaper and get an effect similar to what the Lifestyle layout was originally. Seems like a lot of work but if that’s what you’re looking for it’s an idea.

Can’t wait to give it a shot if you release a Ultimate Elegance Pack.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Well it would be better put to use having totally different images on each page or even an image representing what you are doing on the page such as an outdoor image on the weather page or an image with shelves on for your programs page. You could even stick a picture of each of your children on every page if you had 7 kids haha :D

If you look at the programs page I have made up on my next post it will explain better lol.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
I will update everything for Ultimate and Ultimate Elegance tomorrow so if you prefer either of those over Elegance then be patient (or try at least LOL).

As soon as I have update the QVGA/WQVGA versions I will modify the images for VGA/WVGA and update them.

I do make ALOT of work for myself dont I :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Themes] dustinb17:
Yes you do make a lot of work for yourself ... But I think we all love you for it. I for one would probably be running Titanium rather than Mobile Shell if it wasn't for your packs.You're updates are also the reason I come back to this thread each day. Thanks for all the work you do Mskip ... Can't thank you enough.

using the end key like in new manilla?

anyone noticed in the new manilla how you can hit end key and it'll take you back to your home page?

i was wondering if there was a way to set it in spb so you could hit the end key and it would take you to like your 3rd page (using for example the 3rd page is your home page) ...better yet if i could use that home button on my raphael, cuz i never use that damn thing...

didn't know if anyone had any ideas...

weather widget

hey!

is there a way that my weather widget shows the values from the "weather forecast" not not the values from the page "current conditions" . i update the weather manually via wifi every 2nd or 3th day.

the result is that i see the old weather until i update :(

do you know what i mean? it's hard for me to explain it in english..
[Windows Mobile Themes] g3k:
I agree with highKo

Yes, what you mean it's very clear and the option you are requesting would be very useful to me as well.

If we are not continously connected to the net, it's useless to keep the widget in the main page. So i deleted it there. I would be very happy to put it back on the main page whenever it will show not only the current (...most probably outdated) data but the most recently downloaded weather forecast.

If i must use a bigger version of the widget to see 4-5 days together, no prob for me...
[Windows Mobile Themes] highKo:
in ms3.0 the widget used the data which the forecast promissed. that is what i want back :(

maybe it's possible to integrate the old weather widget into ms3.5 , if it isn't possible to configure it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
That's now the way it works if you install spb weather and use its own widget...

And it's not the only reason why it's better: in some countries (here in Italy where I live, for example) accuweather forecasts... how to say... well, ehm... they suck! :p

Spb weather lets you use a personalized weather source, so I'm using it with another source which is much more reliable over here :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] AlienHairball:
Ultimately I'd love the ability to show current conditions *and* forecast hi/low for the day. Right now with mskip's widgets I can show current only. If he could add in another little text widget to show the hi/low for the day I'd be all set. *hint hint* :)

Hiding (not deleting) unwanted icons from launcher

Hi folks!

My question: is there a way to hide shortcuts from the launcher menu of MS3.5, because it seems that MS simply ignores the "Hidden" attribute of the shortcuts, whereas they disappear in the "built in" Start menu > Programs section (talking of WinMo 6.1).

The problem is that the hardware buttons can only be configured to shortcuts located in the Start menu > Programs folder, but I don't want to see them, because they are set up for the HW buttons.

For the mods: I did not find a corresponding topic for the question above, so please if you think it needs a new topic move my post, but please don't remove it without traces!

Thank you!

ProPlus Ultimate Elegance Question

MSkip: Thanks for all your hard work. I'm using the naked version of ProPlus Ultimate Elegance on a 320x240 landscape device:

- Can the menu bar be changed to eliminate the 1-7 panel buttons? I have no need for them since I only use 3 screens plus my device has a raised plastic frame around the screen making them unaccessible via touch. I realize the two icons for the carousel and configuration tools must stay.

- The "Change Background" function doesn't seem to work. Is this where the modified picture frame widget should be used?

Thanks again for all your help! ;);)
[Windows Mobile Themes] dbu:
Hello, I have a question and I hope you can help. I have used the icon changer app to change the icons that I want to change, however the icons show up huge on ms3.5, but they look like regular icons in the regular windows start menu. How do I get the smaller nice custom icons to where I can have 4 across on my ms3.5 lifestyle oage?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
If you read the Notes section in my Ultimate Elegance Thread (first post) then it explains how to change the background image on the Lifestyle screens.

The selector bar can be taken out but its quite a bit of an edit and I dont have time right now but if you dont want it then try using the Ultimate theme as that doesnt have the selector bar and you can change the lifestyle screens to 3.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
You probably used a set of 96x96 icons on a QVGA or WQVGA device. 2 icons would take up nearly all the screen. Try *THIS* set of 48x48 icons which is for smaller resolution devices.

Marrying MH to MSkip

I have tried without success to put MH widgets into Mskips widgets. I followed the steps. Installed MH. Extracted MHwidgets.xml. Installed MSkips. Added MH..xml to MSkip's qa_layout.dat. I keep getting a red "error" when MS tries to load. I have uninstalled both and just installed MSkip then inserted the MH xml. i still get the error. I have uninstalled MS, and MSkip and tried it again. No love!

Any help or knowledge.

I do want to verify. I change the qa-layout.dat to .rar and extract using p/w. Then I compress again to a rar file and change the rar to dat. Is that the correct procedure? If not, then there lies my problem.

Thanks to all

Installing instructions (more or less Clin d'oeil):

1-Install Spb3.5

2-Install Bombyx3.5

3-Install Androidbar.cab or Sencebar.cab (this cabs

may force you to reinject every widget

). (android bar has 3 buttons also, but 2 are invisble and the center goes to SPB menu).

4-Install Androidmenu with

Bombyx menuinjector

(I couldn't create a new folder in menuinjector's list so I replaced an existing menu folder content)

5-Install Androidwidgets with

Bombyx widgetinjector

(and any other widgets do you want)

Thanks to MC -Sence project, Bombyx and abumhmmd1

Hey, does anyone know if there is a way to make a widget for the Stock Quote app that is built into Touch Flo 3D? There is a Yahoo Stock Quote on the Touch Flo 3D on the Touch Pro 2.

But it would be nice if there was a widget I could tap to get current quotes on all the stocks I am watching.
