PLEASE could someone help me get this 6.5 bottom bar to go away!

i downloaded showcase but i dont see anything in it thats helping...

any instructions???

the bottom bar is blocking the carousel button!
[Windows Mobile Themes] xawen:
1) Make sure you're using Showcase 1.1.0...this reg key doesn't affect older versions.

2) Open a reg editor...find and edit the key HKCU\Software\e-Natives Technology\Showcase\SUITE_PositionFix_Winclasses

3) Remove "Manila," from the beginning of the value of that key

4) Soft reset your phone

anybody else having HORRENDOUS battery life with 3.5??
[Windows Mobile Themes] donnaw:
I use WkTASK

--------

it works great
[Windows Mobile Themes] chizzy58:
no deal.

anyone else have a solution?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mwalt2:
Simple solution is to use build 21859 :). It's COM2 and has the old-size taskbars. I may be wrong, but I think MS3/MS3.5 use all but 52 pixels of your screen. The 52 pixels it does not use is the taskbar. I don't think there will be an easy way to hide the softkeybar on 6.5.1 since the ok/close buttons are now at the bottom. Even if you hide it, you won't be able to press ok/close in certain apps.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ElAguila:
Yes I am am as well. I have the 3D acceleration turned off. I noticed last night one thing that drains it quickly. I put a picture frame on a screen and linked a picture to it. Later I came back and tapped and held and it brought up the options so I selected change skin and changed the frame from normal to wood and then clicked the check button. Just doing that drained my battery 3%. It consistently drains from 3-4% from my battery. I don't know what else to do. I have all of my power saving hacks/regedits/cabs and my battery life is bad. It was not like this with 3.1.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mutokenji:
hey, i like your taskbar, where you got it?

[Windows Mobile Themes] climber1872000:
I wrapped the reg entries up into a cab for you.

Install the attached cab and soft reset.

You must have Showcase installed from post below and using WM 6.5.

ShowcaseSuite

Yes,

ShowcaceSuite is a very usefull app.

I use dotFred task manager to obtain the "Windows Name" of the app that needs adjusted. It usually ends with something like "XXX_CLASS",

Then enter that info in the reg.

Reset and PRESTO.. Nomore overlap.

MS3.5 Amnesia/Alzheimers - whatever you want to call it, my memory's gone...!

Is anyone else suffering from extreme memory loss with 3.5

Yes, it takes up more space than 3.0.1, but since I loaded 3.5, my memory is slowly being sucked away... I had 5M left after I installed 3.5 yesterday, and today I only have 600K and getting smaller...!

Actually, no, my memory is not slowly being sucked away, it's being violently obliterated...!

E visto che sei italiano, grazie... ma li fai proprio tu questi widget?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
English only please.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Zealot87:
I said " Thank you", and i've added a comment because we are both italians, in our language.

The comment was: "So you are italian, can you please tell me if you create the widgets by yourself or it's a package"?

:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
You're welcome :)

And yes, I'm making these widgets myself :p

(feel free to write me in italian in pm if you need anything, but keep it in english on here otherwise the other users won't understand a thing) ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Zealot87:
Ok :D.

I've some trouble with your widgets.

I've done what you write in the readme install instruction, but the widget does not work.I can see the in the list, but when I select the widget that I want to use nothing seems to happen.

Example:If i tap on digital clock, then I select Modern Combo Red, i still have the original clock instead of modern combo red.I also can't see a preview.

I've installed Spb mobile shell 3.5.1 final.

I suppose that i've done some mistake with QA_Layouts, but I'm sure that I have followed properly your instruction.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
Yep, it looks like the problem could really be in the qa_layouts, how did you add my xml to it? Did you do it manually with winzip or did you use shell extensions?
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Did you use winzip? anyway you should use ShellExtension is a lot faster and mistakeproof
[Windows Mobile Themes] Zealot87:
I used winzip and I did it manually.

I'll try with shellextension.Thank you by the way :D

Another question: How can I remove Sence Widgets?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
With shellextension you won't have any problem, I'm sure ;)

About doing it manually with winzip, a number of users have had a similar problem, and most of the times it turned out to be because their pc was set to hide the file extensions for known file types, and when they renamed qa_layouts.zip to qa_layouts.dat it actually renamed it to qa_layouts.dat.zip, making it all useless (I'll never curse microsoft enough for default checking that worthless, horrible, abominable option....) :mad:

Regarding Sence Widgets, I never installed them so I don't know if they're set to let the user remove them the normal way... try taking a look in the remove application window, maybe they're there (by the way, if you'll ever need to remove some ov my widgets you can do it easily that way) ;)

This might be a "newbie" question, but Im looking to change the icons on my "spb menu" screen. I'm tired of the stock icons.:rolleyes: I'm currently running SPB MS 3.5.1 with MH-Widgets. If anyone could help point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.

How can i made standart weather widgets work normal?

Omnia ii Alarms Do Not Display

As the title says, when I click on my clock in SPB mobile shell it opens up the time page and says "Next Alarm"....."No alarms", not exactly a big issue but in the quest for perfection I like everything just right, so I was hoping someone might know if there is a reg hack or tweak that will let mobile shell know that the samsung alarm is set?
[Windows Mobile Themes] xmarkom:
Personally, i think SPB Mobile Shell should be users friendly but (except good widgets) is too confusing and there are too unnecessary things.

For example...

if you would like to go to Programs folder you can do that:

1. pressing favorites - programs

2. launcher - programs

3. spb menu - programs

4. creating icon on start screen

5. go to launcher and than pressing down bar second button and then go to programs

my question>

Is there any chance to delete some screens from just 3d menu as SPB MENU or CLOCK or WEATHER CONDITIONS
[Windows Mobile Themes] Scrubb:
Thanks Laurie! It works perfect!
[Windows Mobile Themes] donnaw:
There is a reg hack I use:

1)Go to HKLM \ Software \ Spb Software House 2 \ Spb Mobile Shell \ NowScreen \ Panels

2) There are 12 keys (folders) numbered 0 to 11 - each corresponds to one of hte panels in the carousel/tile view

3) You can either delete the ones you do not want or you can rename the ones you do not want to see. I renamed mine to age (Agenda), wea (Weather), etc.

4) For the ones you want to retain you MUST begin naming them 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. The names must be in order with no skips between numbers.

The order you name them will control the order in which they appear, so if you want the SPBMenu to be adjacent to Weather then name SPB Menu 0 and Weather 1.

This will affect both the 3D carousel and the tile view. The nice thing about renaming them is that if you ever want one back all you have to do is rename it again.

IF you do this then I suggest you use your reg editor (I use Resco) and export the Panels. This will allow you to import your changes when you upgrade or reinstall Mobile Shell.

Hi!

I installed the ziphone theme and I like it very much. I have a couple of questions though:

(1) How can I change the 4 shortcuts on the bottom? I would like to replace "email" by "Spb Menu"...

​

(2) Is there any clock widget (not necessairly from this theme, but preferred) which displays the next alarm time???

(3) How can I edit widgets to fit my needs? ( For example the clock widget is rather big, but doesnt use all the space, so I would like to cut off the blank space...)

(4) Can someone point me to an widget which displays only the next appointment (If it matches the style of ziphone that would be perfect...)

(5) The weather widget only showes the temperature, but there is no icon. If I go to the weatherpanel the forecast-icon is perfectly displayed. How caan I fix this bug?

(6) Is there an mediaplayer widget fitting the ziphone theme style?

I would really love it if someone could help me out. Mobile Shell is rather confusing...Thanks in advance.

Well its easily possible (not via a registry tweak though) but that means you wont be able to access the carousel at all from the lifestyle screen and you wont be able to change background images at all as the only way you can do it is via the menu.

[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Yes its perfectly possible to copy the original qa_layouts.dat file back and the soft reset to get the original menu button back, then make your changes and copy the modified dat file back after everything has been completed.

The only thing you really need the menu button for is to change backgrounds as everything else can be done by clicking on the screen or going into your mobile shell settings.

Unzip *THIS* file and copy the the 2 files across to your spb mobile shell folder, then soft reset and it will delete the carousel and menu buttons giving you a FULL editeable screen to put whatever you want at the bottom. Hold on a blank area or the screen to put it in edit mode to add and move widgets. Hold on an existing widget to change skins. You will still have the done and add buttons in edit mode so everything will still work as it should.
