WQVGA problem

Hi!

I think this mod is great, but...

Am I the only one having problem with my WQVGA screen? I installed the QVGA version on my Xperia X1. The background was too small, but I fixed that, but all the icons are too small, see the screenshoot attached. I got the same error on MS3 with ProPlus.

Is it possible to get only the widgets from your whole "solution"? This way I could keep the sliding animation (I don't really use all the 7 pages), and even the small icons wouldn't be a problem.

Thx for an advice!

contacts carrousel widget

Hi there,

I was wondering if there is anyway to get the contacts carrousel widget to work in regular spb mobile shell 3.5?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Xperia X1 is WVGA (480x800) so that might be your problem :D

Try installing the VGA version and everything should be fine :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
You mean just have a Contacts Carousel Widget on the Screen?
[Windows Mobile Themes] jkolner:
MSkip - this i F...... fantastic!!!

It makes the SPB Mobil Shell 3.5 -> 4.0 - and it's free, thanks a lot.

I have 2 questions.

1) When i add a Backing Panel and change it to "Line Horizontal (White)" can i somhow make the line half as thick?

2) Someon aksked about changing the number of sides from 7 to 3 i Lifestyle. As i understood the answer, you said i was possible, but how?

And again - THANKS A LOT!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] mbernstein:
Just to check, but I haven't seen it yet (with Task Man in the middle). Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] SinnerNL:
Yup, in your theme it's there, but I would like to use it in the regular mobile shell, but can't seem to find it (as a widget)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Totesz:
Mmmm.... fail... :D

Ok, running thru all the forums, and downloading the vga versions... :D :$

Thx, pall!

I havent made the TaskMan modded qa_layouts file as I have been working on picture frames and a way of having custom backgrounds on any lifestyle panel using full screen pictures. I have finished now so once I have updated my cabs I will do the TaskMan mod. Thanks for being patient :)

Hey there! I'm having a bit of a problem that I'm hoping you can help me with. I downloaded and installed "MSkip_ProPlus_Elegance_3.5_VGA_102109" on my Touch pro 2 (WVGA). For some reason, after a soft reset the layout defaults back to it's original form (I loose all the changes I made as far as adding and configuring widgets on the various screens), I also go back to only having 5 screens, and I loose the numbered bar along with the ability to navigate from screen 7 to 1 (or 5 to 1 in my case). It seems the skins are still in tact though...I have all the additional clocks and invisible widgets etc...

I followed the instructions for removing the old MS3.5 files and re-installing before I installed the MSkip files. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing everything, and I've also tried re-downloading the files. It worked fine for about 2 hours (not constant use) then once I had my home screen set up exactly how I wanted it, I was unable to switch to any of the other screens to organize them how I wished. Next I soft reset the phone hoping that would fix the problem, and that is when everything went wacky.

Thanks alot for any help you can give me!

King MSkip

thanks for the great work you have done. Let me apologize for those who dont read a few pages back before asking you a question. They dont realize that it takes up your time and keeps you from working on your awesome project. "Poor english" people can be excused, but everyone else take a couple of minutes to go back and read before posting a question. Thanks

I am running 6.5.1 on my Omnia and after every flash I replace my icons using a program called reStart. After installing your elegance theme and playing with the shortcut skins i found this medium(big icon). i hadnt seen it mentioned anywhere and didnt know if it was common knowledge or not. the icons are pretty big but can be useful

thanks again

It seems that you only get this option if you have big icons installed on your device. Can you send me the link where you got your icons and this reStart program so I can install it and see if the pack contains big icons as other people have mentioned this and not been able to find them.

Thanks.

Rename the attached file to qa_layouts.dat and copy to your spb mobile shell folder on your phone, then soft reset. It should work for any resolution but I can only guarentee that it will work with the latest version of Elegance. Back up your existing qa_layouts.dat file first just in case.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
1. The Lines cant be made thinner without editing the graphics files.

2. With Elegance the pages have been set to 7 and cannot be changed. You could use the pro screen if you wish, it can be set to however many screens you require but you wont have the selector bar.

Can you post a screenshot of what the screen looks like after you lose everything?

Hi,

I'm new to SPB Mobile Shell, and trying to configure things the way I would like to see them, but no getting to it easily... can someone help me on those?

- How can I add simple text onto a screen?

- Is there any widget allowing me to get stock quotes (like the widget on WM6.5 Titanium)?

- I like the 3D Message viewer, but is there a way to get it directly into one of the lifestyle screens instead of having to launch it separately?

- Is there any widget which would allow me to see my pictures (as the picture screen of M2D)?

- Is there any widget allowing to show some RSS feed directly into a lifestyle screen?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] catman51:
Wow, hate to say it but a lot of no's to your questions.

The only one you can do is put a picture on a page, it's there under frames in settings. Other than that, nothing has been implemented by SPB, so until they do or don't, the only widgets you can have are what's in there or one of the modded themes here.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
LOL I was gona say no no no kinda no :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
WARNING!!

DO NOT PLACE A FULL SCREEN PICTURE FRAME ON A PANEL THAT YOU WANT TO VIEW IN LANDSCAPE MODE AS IT WILL CRASH MOBILE SHELL AND REQUIRE A SOFT RESET TO GET IT WORKING AGAIN!!

Because the height of the full screen picture widget is bigger than the height of the screen in landscape mode, placing a picture on the screen and making it full size (or even large, 240x240) will freeze up mobile shell.

This is an error on spb's side as they have a standard large picture frame which crashes mobile shell just as easily as my proplus frames. I will leave the full screen frames in for people who only use portrait mode but landscape users be warned.
[Windows Mobile Themes] lewdog444:

worked great! thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] Xclbur5150@yahoo.com:
Stupid mistake on my part, I'm pretty sure I figured out what caused the problem. After setting everything up the way I liked it in Elegance, I decided to try and install MHWidgets (I love his agenda widget which leaves a little room to the right if the calendar for Icons). This seemed to work fine (or so I thought) so I didn't think anything of it. I didn't realize the problems until I restarted Mobile Shell.

I guess on a related note, is there any way to add an agenda skin similar to his? If not, would there be a way for me to extract his widget and toss it into Elegance? It's the one thing that would make this program perfect for me! :)

I made a small donation, nothing near what you deserve for everything you do. But things are a bit tight right now with a new baby and my wife quitting work to stay home with her. Once things settle down I hope to send a bit more your way. Thanks so much!
[Windows Mobile Themes] rubadub234:
my pleasure, Im sure that my omnias wqvga resloution has something to do with it.

MSKip,

MS 3.5 and Elegance installed and working great. Big thanks.

Once you adapt to the new organization of widgets (and "change skin"), 3.5 is really great. Anyway, I would like to suggest the following:

- "quasi-invisible" links for Bluetooth and WiFi. Quasi, because when you activate them a blue (for Bluetooth)/red (WiFi) "dot" (small circle) turns on the screen. This way you can put them, for instance, over a clock, and when you turn any of them on, a small colored point beside (above, below, wherever you put it) turns on. This is the same as Storyr (who is the MSKip for phone Alarm!) has made for a Phone Alarm Skin (Flipped Out) which is truly great.

- an invisible link to turn on/off "Data Connection".

I believe the first one is quite doable, based on the fact that there are these widgets in MS 3.5, although not in this form. The second one may be more difficult, I don't see anything similar on MS 3.5, but what do I know.

Anyway, thanks a lot, invisible (and all others, of course) widgets are amazing. Now I barely have to use anything else besides the Home Screen to get my info and my software running!

Hello Mskip-

Fantastic job with the Shell! I love it and the ProPlus Ultimate update! Just a couple quetions/requests:

Is there a way to flip easily between the Shell 3.5 and TouchFLO 3D? As weird of a request as that may be, I would like to see that option either as a widget or option (tried going to the today home but I cannot find a way to relaunch TF3D)

Also, I Like the ability to change up the bottom (formally the launcher) by removing the preset options but i liked the trash bin feature. Kind of added to the whole flow/Android-ish feel that i liked. Is there a way for future updates that will be able to keep the bottom skirt and still customize the launcher and keep the trash bin?

I know, this is all the ravings of fan that can find nothing else to needed so hs to nit pick a bit :P

Either way, fantastic work!

Has anyone put Imarche Changeskins on top of Elegance? I have been using iReflect rounded 48 pix icons and they are very cool so I wanted to have a similar Iphone look on the MS menus. I am just afraid of jacking things up with Elegance. Sorry for using the dirty Ip#&*$ word!

You've got at least one right here :)

[Windows Mobile Themes] -BoneZ-:
I like the looks and many customizations, but I had a few problems.

1.) The home page stopped updating. In otherwords, the time and weather just stopped. When sliding to another screen with standard MS widgets, the time was correct. When I clicked on each widget to change the skin, then they updated.

2.) Not sure if it's related or not, but the background image wouldn't change either like it was also froze.

3.) The "agenda" widget was showing November 1st for both Sunday and Monday. When clicking on Monday, the highlight would move itself to Sunday.

A soft reset did not take care of these issues, so I've uninstalled for now.

Looks great and loving the many customizations that I can do to the clock and weather. Hope these issues can be worked out soon so I can go back. :)

Hi. Trying out Mobile Shell and found your mod. It seems great and expands mobile shell quite a bit. However, there one thing I liked from the original shell and wanted to know if there's any way to change screen transition and wallpaper behaviors back to original where instead of the page-flip style, it's a smooth flow from one to the next and the wallpaper image "flows" a little with each flick left or right?

Thanks.

[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Apart from the static screen on all pages which is part of the theme and not a bug, none of the problems are related to ProPlus.

Thanks for the reply. As far as the background image not changing, I'm talking about when I try to manually change the background to another image. It wouldn't change. Also, your mod used the left-most part of the background image where-as MS uses the middle part of the image so that it can scroll left or right.
[Windows Mobile Themes] catman51:
BoneZ,

To change the background, I hope you followed the instructions in post 1. There are steps with Elegance that need to be followed, and then it will change.

Guess I have to start from square one all over again!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] catman51:
Bit of Bad news,installed the new beta, so far, and haven't gotten into it too deeply but the Weather Widgets from PP Ult Elegance don't work!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] donnaw:
same here. Although I used only the qvga version they were providing and wondered if not having all the va and ma files interfered. I would have expected not. Did you use the full version?

just noticed they "Added current conditions threshold for weather widget" (per their site). Possibly this has something to do with it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] BuSchwarz:
Even the standard weather widgets don't work any more.

Only the weather icons on the weather pages and the Agenda page are working. I guess they changed something but didn't change the xml definitions ...

... just learned that this seems to be a WM 6.5 issue. Seems not to be bugy with WM 6.1 ...

[Windows Mobile Themes] catman51:
Yes, did full version. I have now restored a backup until this gets figured out.

I'm on WM6 and it's happening to me.

yeah, beta has an issue with viewing the calendar in Agenda view also. Usually the betas are pretty much ready for prime time but not this one.
[Windows Mobile Themes] rndchef:
Has anyone successfully used this process? I am afraid given the results I got after two attempts both requiring a hard reset. I still cannot find a way to delete a file in PHM Regedit before restoring the Widget file. Could be the problem.

Is there a way to change the .png files for the three taskbar icons on Elegance? I am using the mod with Launcher-Taskmanager-Favorites and I wanted to use the iphone icon look on them. I am using JWMD Icon Changer for all the others and its very cool.
[Windows Mobile Themes] donnaw:
I use Resco Registry editor all the time. I also back up my Root and Panels since I have ordered them the way I want them. Once you have set up your app the way you want it be sure to export that specific key(s). I keep mine on my sd card in a backup file. Then when you need to set up again just delete the keys you want and then import the files.

Don't know if PHM Regedit works the same way. I seem to remember that CeRegEditor can do this too and you can use it on your desktop (it's free).

Don't think you can change the icons you want but someone else may have an idea on that.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Xclbur5150@yahoo.com:
In PHM RegEdit, tap and hold on the key or folder, and a menu will pop up allowing you to delete.
