I'm using 23081 too.... But in a Spanish ROM. I had some problems with spbshell in a 23074 I think it was... But other builds worked correctly with it.

Mark,

Slight problem. I decided to switch to the new Ultimate. It took away the ability to make fav contacts small.

So, I installed the naked version, that took away the ability to make icons small, no choice except medium or box?

Ziphone & Mskip

Mskip - i had your ultimate elegance installed, and while waiting for the new picture widgets for VGA (thanks so much!!) i decided to test the Ziphone theme in the meantime.

Once i installed the Ziphone theme all of your widgets no longer work! is it possible to run both simultaneously? should i install ziphone first, then yours over top?

any help is very appreciated, thank you.
[Windows Mobile Themes] catman51:
On my issue, I just reinstalled Ultimate Elegance STRIPPED version, and no problem with it at all.

[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Im sorry I dont get any of those problems on my phone :confused:

Did you install it on a clean version of mobile shell?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
No 2 themes will work side by side as every theme contains its own custom qa_layouts.dat file which overwrites any previous settings.

If you have the space on your device then you could try inserting the custom widgets xml file from the 1st install into the qa_layouts.dat of the second install and everything else should be retained.
[Windows Mobile Themes] chagersc:
Can you briefly detail these steps for me please?
[Windows Mobile Themes] catman51:
Yes totally, that's why I'm baffled that the stripped version doen't do it?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
So which cab is this exactly? Have you installed the same cab a few times to verify the problem? If you can let me know I will take the cab apart and see if theres anything in there that would cause the loss of small contact and small link. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] catman51:
It happened with both of the latest versions of ProPlus Ultimate and the Naked version of Ultimate. With the full version, it only lost the small icon choice in contacts. With the naked it lost the small icon choice for widgets.

The Stripped Ulitmate Elegance is working fine.
[Windows Mobile Themes] catman51:
Oh, and always on a clean version.

Im sorry I just cant replicate your problem with Ultimate or Ultimate Elegance.. I have reinstalled both on my phone and on my emulator and both the widget sizes you lost are still there :confused:

Maybe after uninstallation make sure all the relevant files and registry folders have been deleted. See my FAQ about what to make sure is deleted. If you still have problems with them then let me know or send me an export of your [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Spb Software House\Shared\Spb Menu\WidgetPackages] so I can check everything is there.

It's possible to change the contacts SPB app by the manila contacts or make a link/shortcut to the manila contacts? I like the manila contacts more than the spb one because the contact photos.

[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
The simple answer is no, you cant link to any of the pages on Manila. I actually prefer the Mobile Shell Favorites page over the Manila one, yo ucan set the size of the contact frame (with picture if you have one in the contact) and it offers more user friendly options then the Manila people page.
[Windows Mobile Themes] carl99:
Link widget / box-skin

I really like the box-skin on the link widget but the widget is too large. Is it possible to make a box skin who is just the size of the visible box and no empty space outside the box? In that case it would be possible to place 5 to 6 link widgets with box skin in a row. With 5 there will be some space betwean them and with 6 they should be edge to edge.

Another solution would be if anyone could make an empty box skin picture who can be used with the new picture frame without frame - sized to match under a small link widget.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
Try taking a look at my small colored box skin for links... it's a bit different (it's colored and with rounded corners) but you can fit 6 in a row.

I could prepare another one similar to the original box, but it has to be reduced in size 'cause even without the blank space around you can't fit 6 of them in a row (it's a bit more than 40 pixels wide)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Do you use any themes or just a clean mobile shell? Its quite easy to change the box link to a small box link I can send you a modified qa_layouts file to do that. If you want a normal box link and a small box link I will make a cab with the qa_layouts and the registry entry needed to add it.

I need to know if you have any themes installed and what version, doesnt matter about resolution it will work for all.
[Windows Mobile Themes] carl99:
Hi,

I use your ultimate elegance qvga theme - the first solution you wrote above would be perfect - a small box link. Thanks!

MSkip ProPlus Elegance for Spb Mobile Shell 3.5 (QVGA, WQVGA for now)

MSkip ProPlus Elegance for Mobile Shell 3.5

Contains the following:

* 7 selectable Lifestyle screens instead of the standard 3* PLUS a 3 button menu on the Pro and Lifestyle Screens on Portrait 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 in portrait AND landscape mode 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

* PLUS Pro Screen enabled as default (can be turned off in the settings)

* PLUS the recycle bin at the bottom has been deleted as it serves no purpose

The naked version has NO widgets as they all have to be redone to make them compatable with Mobile Shell 3.5. I will update the cabs as soon as I do the widgets.

Just download the new version and you register with your serial number?

[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
To the people who are having problems with mobile shell (apart from battery drain as its a bit early to test that) I would sugest you MAKE SURE you have uninstalled mobile shell aswell as any extra cabs you have installed BEFORE you install the new version. Always uninstall mobile shell last and then soft reset your device so you are installing a totally fresh and untampered version of 3.5 and not updating over an existing version that may have been modded or played around with.

Has anyone found a regedit or another way to to get the all incoming items to use the 3D viewer? I can only get the 3D viewer if I use the individual SMS, MMS or Email buttons. I prefer the all incoming since it eliminates the extra buttons.

Is there any possibility, like in SPB DIARY, to configure the number of days which events will be displayed? What I mean is: configure to show only the events that will occur next 7 days (this is my preferred), next 15 days or during next month.

Also with the tasks widget, is possible to do something identical? At this moment my next task will only occur in 30 days. I don’t think it’s interesting to have it displayed so soon!!!

I ask myself why SPB doesn’t use, for Agenda and Tasks widgets, some of the good functionalities implemented on SPB DIARY!

Another thing, if you “hide title” of Tasks widget, there is a line above the tasks that is different than the one that appears if you don’t hide the title (this last one is prettier). It’s possible to remove or replace it?

Thanks

Sorry! I meant the "All People" application, not the favorites, I prefer the SPB favorites too, but "all people" on the SPB don't have pictures like the manila or outlook contacts.

I don't know what resolution your device is, so I prepared both qvga and vga versions ;)

I'm gonna add these to the next release of my mods, but in the meantime I'm attaching these to this post, so you can start using them :)

- Download and extract attached zip

- Add the xml file to your qa_layouts.dat (remember encryption password b0fm18zq )

- Install correct cab according to your resolution

- Restart Mobile Shell

I'm making you add the xml to your qa_layouts manually 'cause this way it won't mess with any possible other mod/theme you have installed ;)

So SPB Mobile Shell is not using the G sensor or the 3D acceleration on my Sprint Touch Pro 2.

On the device settings I have it set to use the G sensor. So Opera uses it, Sprint TV uses it, etc. But SPB Mobile Shell is not detecting it for some reason, and I don't even have the option to use it in the SPB Mobile Shell settings.

Has anyone out therte got the 3D accelleration and G sensor to work in Mobile Shell 3.5 on a Sprint Touch Pro 2? Specifically, on the carousel view screen- it is not asking if I want to use the G sensor, and it is not giving me the 3D carousel...

This is with the stock Nobile Shell 3.5, on the stock Sprint 6.1 ROM (no cooked ROMs, no Mobile Shell themes or anything).

Why don't u (both) use ShellExtension to put XML's in the qa_Layouts.dat file.

It’s much easier no use off passwords, always the correct zip file.

and see instantly the output of your work...

Just put the xml file in the "ZipToDat" map on your device and start ShellExtension. and restart shell. That’s all...
