hi mskip, is there a widget for data-connection like that ins the taskbar. because i want erase the taskbar but i will know if i had a data-connection. and how can i change the lifestyle layout? thanks for an answer and sorry for my bad english

thanks tom
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Try this and let me know if its ok. As usual just delete the .zip from the filename and soft reset after :) Might want to backup your original file first just in case you want to go back.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Theres no data connection widget, sorry.

What do you mean by changing the lifestyle layout? In what way do you want to change it?
[Windows Mobile Themes] thloe:
hi mskip, thanks for answer; i want another background for eg. the new x2. thanks a lot thomas
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
What kind of background? Lifestyle backgrounds are 960x588 (vga, qvga) or 960x748 (wvga, wqvga) jpg format and placed in the spb mobile shell folder in your device program files.
[Windows Mobile Themes] thloe:
the problem is, in lifestyle is no button to change layout. there are only the 2 buttons left and richt on the top. but i need a change layout button. :confused:

forget it i found it thanks!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] uniqueboy:
Thanks very much Mark, better than ok, that is exactly what I was after and I mean exactly.:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] milkybarkid:
Do the following to make your own custom background dat file.

1. Rename any of the custom backgrounds in the zip file to qa_fundotela.zip

2. Unzip to a folder using the password: b0fm18zq

3. Make 2 backgrounds to use as follows:

For QVGA version (240x400 saved as Background.bmp and 400x240 saved as BackgroundL.bmp)

For VGA version (480x800 saved as Background.bmp and 800x480 saved as BackgroundL.bmp)

4. Move the 2 new background files into the folder you made in step2 (overwriting the originals)

5. Zip the 3 files back up with password protection (using password: b0fm18zq)

6. Rename the new file to qa_fundotela.dat (for pro screen) or qa_fundotela2.dat (for all others) and copy to your Spb Mobile Shell folder on your phone (overwriting the original)

7. Soft Reset your phone

Hi mskip,

love your work, but I have tried to change the pro background using your above method but every time I soft reset my phone I end up with the original qa_fundotela.dat and not what I placed in there.

I've tried using winrar and 7zip but it's always the same, any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

This question has nothing to the with the UltimateV2.... I use the lifestyle screen and I have a weather widget on it. Is there two different weathers programs?

I notice there is a spb weather I believe on one tab and it stays accurate or updates often. Then there is the other one which only updates every hour (will not do 30 min) if I am lucky if it does that regularly...this one has the barometer thingy when you go into the weather app :-)

Is there a way to swap where I can have the one that stays more up to date on my lifestyle screen along with having the icons that represent the weather conditions? I guess I am asking for the spb weather one....I could have the names wrong

Newbie question...thx
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Looks spectacular mate :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
WinRar and 7zip have been known to cause problems. Try using winzip, dont forget the password protection, and make sure extensions are showing on your pc and the filename is correct.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
The weather with the barometer is the spb mobile shell weather. The other one that updates more frequently I assume is spb weather which is a seperate program. The 2 cannot be joined together or functions from one put on the other.
[Windows Mobile Themes] hanafi2009:

is there anyway you can add it here :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Mattster_spv:
Help!

I really can't decide... :confused:

I currently have a Trinity with MSkip's ProPlus Ultimate 3.5 QVGA 110209 installed and basically I am at peace. It's perfect for my needs.

BUT...

Recently, I've been tempted to buy a Blackstone (Touch HD), disable the TouchFlo and install MSkip's ProPlus Ultimate 3.5. Is it worth it? For the bigger screen, the more powerful processor, etc, etc... Will I really notice the difference?

Mattster.
[Windows Mobile Themes] parcou:
Understood. i like one over the other. can i pick which one to use? it looks like i only have one choice for weather with icons to add as a widget on my lifestyle screen?

Thx for the earlier response
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Im not sure who has a Blackstone with mobile shell on it. Im sure the graphics would be sharper and you could definitely fit more on the screen with WVGA resolution. Might be worth asking in the Blackstone forum if you arent sure but if you want the faster speed, better graphics and more screen space then I would say go for it ;)

Stick 3.5.1 on it though as it does have a few fixes and tweaks to make it run better.

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
I have never used spb weather so im not sure but I think with spb weather you can put a shortcut on the screen but the weather images dont change as they do with mobile shell weather widgets. Try it and see :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] jacko5:
mskip,

Love your work, thanx :).

Is their any chance you can make the clock widget ( digital one, just numbers ) in various colours ?

Say yellow, bright green etc.

I have a HTC Touch HD so it will be WVGA ( VGA ) resolution.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
BRIGHT GREEN??????? :eek: :eek:

Haha yeah I will redraw the Digital Clock Digits Only widgets to make them sharper and put a few colour variations. How about white, red, green, blue?
[Windows Mobile Themes] jacko5:
Hehe, bright green looks good ( val 2.15 has some green skins ).

What ever colour's you wish.

Thanx alot.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Hmm I will look at bright green and see if it hurts my eyes too much :p

I can't change backround!Help me!:mad: Home screen! Where is change backround button?
[Windows Mobile Themes] ajhvdb:
With "Lyfestyle" you have the option to change the background. With "Professional" I don't have this option too. I disabled it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
More information please. Lifestyle screen or professional screen?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
In professional you dont have an option in the menu you change it via the qa_fundotela.dat file
[Windows Mobile Themes] ajhvdb:
Ok, thx, didn't know that.
[Windows Mobile Themes] propagandax:
I just want to say this latest feature of removing the menu bars is the one thing I have wanted ever since 3.5 came out. Thank you very much for this. Nice work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jpen:
Just an idea...

I have an idea for future versions...have a icon lock so that no matter which page you slide to that icon or widget or whatever stays put....like if you have at the bottom a launcher button or something when you slide left or right that launcher button stays
[Windows Mobile Themes] Saminovic:
Hi all,

Sorry for my bad english.

Congrats for your skin ! I love It !

But... I can't put your weather widgets. When I click for example on ProPlus Standard, nothing happend.

Do you have any solutions, please.

Thank you !
[Windows Mobile Themes] JaCoL_JcL:
hey Mark ;)

U forgot to add buttons hidden menu and carousel in Landscape (WQVGA) so i can't adit this mode and accept changes ;)

cheers
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Sorry I can only work under the constraints the spb mobile shell allows and what you sugest isnt possible.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
You need to install the latest version or spb mobile shell for the weather widgets to work. The latest version is 3.5.1 and can be downloaded from the spb site.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Sorry I thought I made the buttons visbale in landscape mode. I will look at it in a bit.
[Windows Mobile Themes] BGrosse:
Light?

Hi Mark,

what about the light version? Are you still working on it? :confused:

Let me know, if I can do anything to help you, ok?

Is there any similar mod for QVGA? Not everyone ownes a VGA/WVGA device...
[Windows Mobile Themes] jacko5:
mskip,

Just thought i would post a pic of my HTC Touch HD screen using your mods and mods off other developers.
[Windows Mobile Themes] keithdupont:
I understand as I use to have a qvga device. But the problem lies with having a device to test the mods with otherwise your just putting something out there that may not work or look good, then everybody is asking for a fix. The best thing is to try to learn how to do conversions from vga to qvga then you can take pieces from any skin a use them and share.
[Windows Mobile Themes] hawrai68:
At last I can have home screen exactly as I want, clutter free with no tabs or icons at bottom . A well worth drink just sent to you Sir! Great work!
[Windows Mobile Themes] JaCoL_JcL:
dunno is this bug was posted but:

When I add a starter button and then i chose a advanced mode, and when i close starter and open it i'm in normal starter mode ... no advance ... this happend only in LifeStyle Mode!
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Well pints of champagne or pretty expensive haha :rolleyes:

I dont know why the carousel hasnt changed as it uses exactly the same image file as the other screens which change fine. I will have to have a look into it later im busy putting widgets back in :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] rfarrah:
Ah, champagne is it?

Anyway, no stress: I figured it would get fixed somewhere down the line - assuming I hadn't screwed something up. Thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Themes] trunks1667:
This makes my phone pretty much perfect the only problem I have is when I go to the the launcher and carousel it has that annoying blue bar on the bottom is there a cab to make that transparent like the professional bar? Thanks again.

lovin ms3.5

I'm loving MS3.5 and I cant wait til mskip gets the widgets in!! No rush tho but I can't help but keep checking the thread for the update. Thanks Man its good stuff!! Also I put on MH-Widgets 1.0 on and its got a great change to the BIG digital clock with a battery meter behind the time it also has a few little changes to some of the stock widgets but overall its a great addition. I'm hoping it will work with the ultimate update.
[Windows Mobile Themes] criskoe:
Hi mskip.. firstly thanks for the skin and any help. Does anyone know if there is any way to remove the 3 button menu on the Pro Screen like the lifestyle menu and have it blank so i can put what ever i want there....
[Windows Mobile Themes] jssingh:
Carousel Background

Great job overall MSkip!

This is to confirm that the carousel background does not change with qa_funtodela2.dat. No big deal!

SPB with Proplus Ultimate is just awesome! Can't wait for the widgets.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
I have converted all the Analogue Clocks, Digital Clocks and Batterys across to 3.5 so far. Made a larger Calendar widget, having a bit of trouble with the invisible links as spb have made it EXTREMELY difficult to add a single widget (all widgets the same type get grouped together).

I will work on the weather widgets tonight but I think the dat files need to be edited to make them all work.

MArk.
[Windows Mobile Themes] gerald_s:
Just in case you didn't see it, according to this post its very easy to integrate custom widgets. Maybe it works for for the invisible links too?
[Windows Mobile Themes] xaiai:
SUPPORT! REALLY GOOD!

I face so many problems for spb shell 3.5!

you are life saver!
[Windows Mobile Themes] rebecker:
Do you have any idea if a Phone Signal visual indicator will be possible? On multiple screens? I don't understand spb's failure to add it on this release. The operator name is an improvement, but I KNOW my operator, it's the signal strength that I DON'T know. :)

Thanks for your efforts.

[Windows Mobile Themes] Dadi68:
Just look at the status bar :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Im working on the signal strength indicator and the weather widgets right now and having problems with both lol. They dont seem to want to work :confused:

Ohh well im sure i will figure it out :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] natefish:
With all these widget requests/complaints I have seen on the main MS 3.5 thread and this one, I have to wonder how big some people's screens are! Do people seriously sit there and scroll through screen after screen to see the widget they want? :confused: IMHO, I think the system status bar is there for a reason. I'm on NFSFAN's WM 6.5 for the Vogue and I couldn't be happier with my status bar.

Anyway, MSKIP, if you're taking requests, just give us back the invisible links widgets. That was my favorite part of the old set and it was a real time saver (didn't have to scroll through a bunch of screens for the app links I wanted :D)
[Windows Mobile Themes] natefish:
Yeah, I figured there was no connection, but it was really weird that it happened. I'm blaming MS, even though that part is in English and am definitely not a Spanish speaker. No comprende :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Im trying to get it back mate I have soo many screens and xml files open I just confused myself lmao :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] mguzzy:
MSkip... thanks for the great work on your themes... it really makes MS a useful product. Otherwise I would have uninstalled it long ago and gone back to my standard Today screen hacking! ;)

I agree.. (and posted it elsewhere). I think the invisible links are the most powerful and useful part of your mods. I can assign any app I want to the widgets, screen, etc. Great stuff.

thanks

PROPLUS ULTIMATE UPDATE!!!

ChangeLog:

100509 - posted new cabs for QVGA and VGA with all the widgets I have added so far. Analogue Clocks, Digital Clocks, Batterys, Full Calendar and Invisible Link (thanks to SiliconStar for Invisible Link).

Add a widget type that you want (i.e. Digital Clock) and then Change Skin to whichever one you want. You can now see previews of the ProPlus Widgets before adding them to the screen :)

If you are updating from the naked version then you dont need to uninstall and reinstall Spb Mobile Shell, just uninstall the naked version and then install the new version.

[Windows Mobile Themes] hawrai68:
Can someone please explain what are the plain backing panels used for? and what size image i need to create for a WVGA wallpaper so that it does not get cropped and zoomed when I select "change background" and use my own images.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] JaCoL_JcL:
best resolusion of image = best efect on device! i add there a normal wallpapers ;)

u can add a panel and add on a bottom a shourtcut for a program ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] hawrai68:
Thanks for reply, when I apply normal wallpaper, I get an option of what part of the image to use as background ( a square selection / crop box)..resulting in zoom and cropping of chosen wallpaper. Also with the panels, can you not just add a shortcut, without the need for the transparent panels?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jotha:
Of course you can add a shortcut without any panels. I do not use any panels. But on some backgrounds, panels can be a big help for grouping shortcuts or for better visibility.
[Windows Mobile Themes] hawrai68:
Ok so the panels are just for visual - something to put your icons on top of.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] JaCoL_JcL:
ok for qvga/wqvga size od wallpaper is a 960x748

tks for this great hack.

but having a problem...

i cannot edit the lifestyle pages at all except what was already on there initially. i cannot add new widgets and other stuff as there is no menu for me to bring up (bottom bar is not there compared with the professional pages). am i doing something wrong??
[Windows Mobile Themes] keithdupont:
Look at the first post of this thread and read
[Windows Mobile Themes] jl255:
tks but it says that the menu bar is on the top, but i still cannot access it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jotha:
If you really read, it says it is on the top and the buttons are invisible. If you look at the topmost picture, you see the location of the buttons.
[Windows Mobile Themes] hawrai68:
You need to long press anywhere on the screen, you will see a + sign to get options to add items.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jl255:
nope, still not able to access it. are the invisible buttons tied to the clock or fixed at that position cause i've moved the clock widget. anyways, i've tried pressing everywhere and i still don't get the menus.

also, in the edit layout mode, i cannot exit from it as there is no 'tick' and 'cross' buttons.

nope. long press doesn't give me anything. :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] jotha:
They are fixed at the position.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jotha:
If long pressing does not give you the edit layout screen, then how did you get to it?
[Windows Mobile Themes] jl255:
i got to it by pressing on one of the widgets and choosing the 'edit layout' option. then i cannot exit from there
[Windows Mobile Themes] hawrai68:
To exit, press the Tick sign, top left....when you are in "edit layout" the plus sign should be top right to add new widgets also.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jl255:
that's what i've been saying, there is NO tick sign. i've pressed everywhere....
[Windows Mobile Themes] jl255:
tks for all the help, i found the problem. it's my mistake. tks!

Hi Mark, any chance of a couple of Christmas widget skins, maybe a festive clock or two or maybe a Christmas tree battery widget? Anything really, whatever takes your fancy, just for fun.:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
What was you doing wrong then mate lol. Wrong cab installed im guessing :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Thats freaky mate I was thinking that exact same thing to add some festive spirit to our devices for the holiday season for those of us who celebrate christmas).

I will make some clocks, christmas tree and cracker batterys and maybe a few other things if I can think of any, that can be copied over to the device and replace the existing widgets directly rather than building a whole new pack which will need to be freshly installed.

Watch this space ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Just one question, are you still planning to make the 2 invisible buttons smaller and move them more to the corner?

In case you decided to leave them where they are now, I guess I'll take them off complitely from portrait modeXD
[Windows Mobile Themes] rfarrah:
How can they be smaller? Barely visible now! :eek: :)

[Windows Mobile Themes] uniqueboy:
Good news Mark, I look forward to whatever you do. One idea I had was a battery widget that could be a melting snowman.:)

Edit: One other idea, it would kinda handy if when you post zips of any new skins you could include in the post the skin that is being replaced, just to dumb down the post-chrimbo restoration. :)

There is new version 3.5.2. Ultimate V2 compatible ?

• Fixed issue with settings opening on HTC Windows Mobile 6.5 devices

• Backlight support for new devices

• Added a possibility to send MMS from an unnamed calllog entryspbs

[Windows Mobile Themes] uniqueboy:
You know what, Ideally the snowman would be 9 feet tall, but since I have a feeling that will only work on the hd2 I would be more than happy whatever size is convenient for you to best make it, I kind of think big and maybe it could be put behind all the other widgets people are using maybe with a snowy wallpaper. But what the heck? It's just a bit of fun. I love every thing you have done and I would not have bothered with mobile shell without the brilliant work you have done.

Thanks Mark. Big respect to you.:)

I think I have lost my mind

I updated to the new version of MS 3.5.2 and when I put in the Ultimate V2 I now have a menu bar on the pro screen. So I went back to 3.5.1 thinking that the new version broke something because I could swear I had the invisible buttons on both the Pro and Lifestyle screens. In fact I am sure of it.

But after reverting to the 3.5.1 and reinstalling the V2 cab I still have a menu bar (with the 3 icons) on the Pro screens. Now I don't do an uninstall. I restore from a backup. So I restored from a backup with no Mobile Shell and then proceeded to reinstall everything.

So have I lost my mind? (my husband has always said I have). I have reinstalled twice and same thing. Is the Pro menu bar supposed to be there or not?
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
