Program and setting icons have a delay

Sorry if this has been posted before - I couldn't find an answer. When you click the launcher for the first time after a restart, all of the icons "below the fold" of the viewable screen take a second or so to load. In the meantime, you see just the default icon. This happens for setting screens and program folders. After it loads once then when you come back to that folder, the delay doesn't occur - gets cached I guess. Any fixes?

Thanks,

Trent
[Windows Mobile Themes] AlienHairball:
I see the same behavior and as far as I know that's just how it is until it loads and caches the icons. You'll also see it on the other lifestyle screens the first time to swipe to them. Sorry I'm not more help. :)

Here i am, ad i promise.

Hope you like the Maglite feeling, there is two versions: one whit light blame and one whitout. Take a look:

On the zip attached you'll find the two *.ico files and a *.dll whit both icons. You can easily change a shortcut icon whit a tool like SK Shortcut or something like that.

Enjoy :-) (and "belandi" from my gf :-))

Mskip, I'm dying here ... I'm finding myself checking this forum every 15 minutes to see if you've uploaded your Hybrid Build. No pressure or anything but you're killin me here.

Can't Wait!, and I hope this is still a possibility and that you haven't run into something that would derail this project. If you can’t tell I’m a big fan of your work, and Very grateful!

Just finished converting every single VGA widget from the old 3.0.1 set. Had to redraw alot of the widgets from scratch including the weather info and weather info small so they look alot better on VGA devices. Just doing final checks before I release Ultimate and Elegance for VGA in about 20 minutes. Then I can do some more testing on Ultimate Elegance before making a new thread for it. As all the VGA widgets have been converted now I can release QVGA and VGA versions together :)

Been working on this now for 8 hours straight LOL I need a drink but I really want to try and get Ultimate Elegance working so I guess I will get a cup of coffee and carry on ;)

Menu Bar to add Wireless Widget

Hi, I can see a lot of work done here and really is appreciated that a lot of you are sharing anything that you have done to enhance this SPB product. Now I have a bit of a question which I needed to do in my phone. I am happy with the MSKIP widgets and also the shell extension app. However there is one thing I really need to do, I wanted to put in the Wireless widget in the Menu Bar but I can not seem to find any link that says how to do this. Any help would be appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
You cant put that in your MenuBar unless you make the bottom area empty so you can then drag anything you want into that space. With the conventional MenuBar there are only a certain number of buttons you can put in there such as spb menu, launcher, weather, agenda, favorites. My Ultimate version or ShellExtension can clear the bottom area if thats what you want (on an unmodded version).

[Windows Mobile Themes] daroga:
Hi guys!

Just playing around with Mobile Shell and I really like it. I've got MSkip's Elegance running on my Imagio and really enjoying it.

Is there in existance or would it be possible for someone to cobble together a "lock and turn off screen" widget for SPB? The Imagio doesn't have a hardware button to turn off the screen (why??) and I prefer to put the device in my pocket with the screen already off.

I've got the "Lock Device" shortcut now, but it would be nice if it blanked the screen immediately too. The Nitrogen audio player has this built in (press the "power" looking button on the iPod-Like skin, and the screen blanks and the phone is locked), and the Imagio has the feature in the menu that comes up when you press and hold the power button for a few seconds.

Just wondering if this was possible. Thanks!

Hi skipper :) thanks for the advice, I installed your ultimate version and wahla it worked. However the problem now is the MH-Widgets dont work anymore and they are all blank. Also ShellExtension I tried at first to set the Menu Bar to "0" but even after reset of MobileShell or soft reset of my phone still does not remove the Menu Bar. Anyway the Ultimate worked to what I asked for but the MH-Widgets which I liked so much, how can I put it back?

You can download a Windows Mobile Emulator from the Microsoft for free to test VGA and WVGA mods on. Its the only way I can develop ProPlus for VGA as I only own a QVGA phone. They are very easy to use and set up, I install my basic cabs and Mobile Shell 3.5 then exit the program and save the state at that point. Then I can install cabs and test various things and when im done I exit (without saving the state) so its ready to start again next time.

SPB MS 3.5 Full Screen (without Start Bar)

Hi All

I found on Polish side how to remove Start Bar from Windows 6.1 and enlarge SPB MS 3.5 but... :(unfortunetaly it doesnt work correctly - after this modification you have got only Proffesional Screen:

http://forum.mobione.pl/index.php?topic=11393.0

You have to modyfy LockScreen2.xml from qa_layouts.dat like that (example for QVGA):

Before:

<Layout Name="240x320">

<General>

<Rect Name="DragRect" X="0" Y="0" Width="240" Height="244"/>

</General>

</Layout>

After:

<Layout Name="240x320">

<General>

<Rect Name="DragRect" X="0" Y="0" Width="240" Height="320"/>

</General>

</Layout>

then Turn Off SPB MS and then start ToogleStart (in zip file).

Toogle Start is smal program witch hide Start Bar from Windows - if you want to show it back please only start that program again.

Maybe someone could/try to make it fully works:confused:

[Windows Mobile Themes] ArtieQ:
Nothing more than the usual, programs like advanced configuration tool 3.3, coreplayer, taskmanager, spb insight, resco explorer, registry editor and xda shutdown.

I noticed if I remove all things on 2 tabs and switch between them, there is no sluggishness or "lag". The thing I experience isn't really lag either, it's more like I said "fps drops". It could be that I have too many things on the tabs, but clock+mail+sms+call history and calendar shouldn't be too much I feel.

The Stripped version has only a few widgets to minimize the file size. It includes Diamond Clocks Black and White, A medium Analogue Clock, Small Battery and 3 sizes of Battery Level Widgets, Weather Text Small and Large and Weather Info, Full Screen Calendar and Small Birthday widget.

Install Procedure:

1. Uninstall any extra cabs or addons you have installed for Spb Mobile Shell

2. Uninstall Spb Mobile Shell and soft reset your device

3. Install the latest version of Spb Mobile Shell (current version is 3.5)

4. Install ProPlus to device memory (same as MS3 in installed)

5. After installations completes, soft reset your device

Hey guys, is there any way to have more than 1 contacts screen?

Say, for example, you hit the contacts button at the bottm, and this brings up your contacts screen. On this contacts screen it has the default action set to call everyone's mobile number. You sweep to the right, and there is another contact's screen. On this contact's screen the default action is set to automatically send everyone an SMS. You sweep down and it bring's up a another contact screen with the default action being set to call everyone's home number.

It was the new 3D SMS interface that got me to thinking about this. Since there is no way to create a new SMS, I had to creat an additional contact for everyone with the default action being set to send an SMS. Right now these are all grouped together at the bottom of my contact page, but it would be better if they were all grouped together on another contact page that is entirely dedicated to SMS.

On all my proplus cabs I have 2 favorites screens made (the 2nd screen is invisible on the menubar) but the same method can be used to make additional ones.

Hi, Thanks for the offer. I will need small, medium, box & with text as usual. But without any paper or wood or other frame. If frame cant be removed, it should be just around the icon, very close to it. If this can be done, then we need not use an icon changer and change the shortcut at all. we can use this with the invisible link above it to point to any shortcut. That would be amazing, as we need not change any widget or any xml
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
Ok, I started trying this mod, let's see what can and can't be done.

- Resizing the picture frame object: Ok, no problem

- "With text" layout: I fear I can't do it... remember that, even if resized, it's still a picture frame object, the "with text" thingy is only related to link objects

- removed or very thin frame: trying... I managed to "remove" it by setting the frame pictures and mask to transparent, but it looks like it still keeps drawing a very thin outline on the right and bottom side no matter how I try to modify the images... that's weird, will keep trying.
[Windows Mobile Themes] iltorvo:
They could work great just for flat square icons. Unfortunately SPB frame widget can't use the PNG transparency so, if you use that trick as an icon changer, your icons must have square flat background.

I'm still asking why SPB MS3.5 don't have a widget that work just like SPB Pocket Plus, that use PNG as icons from ages.
