[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
What exactly did you do and what program did you use to compress all the files.

A black screen with red error message points to a problem with the qa_layouts.dat file so please be as detailed as you can be with what you did if you want help.

Also are you aware that the mod you listed is for the ProPlus Ultimate Theme and cant be used on a stock version of Mobile Shell with no mods.

Sorry for previous post. First of all I tried to install PRO PLUS ELEGANCE theme, but after reset my phone stopped responding. I was able to uninstall the theme and after I tried hard to change the background of proffesional layout. I 've done everything like in your's #603 post, and the result was that early presented. Thank you very much for being so prompt. I used Win Rar and 7zip for the dat files. I can't upload my files. What I have to do next ,please?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
ProPlus Elegance is a very outdated theme. Try installing ProPlus Freedom which has mods available for custom images on the Pro Screen. Alternatively Droid Pro+ has a full Background Manager app included with which you can create your own backgrounds and put them on any spb screen.

Te only thing I can sugest is that you install MS3.5.5 and see if that fixes your image problems. Its a free upgrade all you need is to enter your serial number from 3.5.4.

[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
If you install any of my themes or vostradamus's mobile shell manager then you can place an invisible link over the notification widgets that will open up and app you wish so that when you get a sms notification for example, you click on the sms widget and the invisible link will open up your respective resco app instead.

To change to Resco Contact Manager change this key:

does anyone know if SPB support the "live tiles" or animated tiles in any of their themes like in the wp7 themes that are out there....Can this be done by any registry tweaks/changes ??
[Windows Mobile Themes] iltorvo:
Hello guys,

it was ages from my last post about my personal customisation of SPB MS, ispired by the Samsung Omnia Pro graphic style and called NeonIch.

Finally i have some time at home to work again to this project, so, i'm here whit two question: how to move the text of "battery only text" and "operator only text" widget ?

I build my own version of the combo Clock and a pair of battery widget (one of that is designed to stay behind the Clock) but the alignment of the two test widgets above made me mad :D

I also create a little trick to use a borderless picture frame as icons (whit invisible links) :D

If Vostradamus think that this can be nice, I can send him all my files to create a new style to put on his wonderful MSManager, let me see what do you think.

Cheers!

[Windows Mobile Themes] iltorvo:
Thank you very much ironhead65 !

Since i'm really not good whit codes, xml, and so, the widget are just graphic modifications of stadard (clock) and Vostradamus (battery) widgets.

I got the modified "dat" and i can share whit no problems, but i think that if you want use the batteries widgets, you have to install the cool Vostradamus MSManager and than overwrite the dats whit mine.

Unfortunately, no one can answer to my questions about how moving the type windgets to fit better on the clock widget, so, he don't look so good at now.

Let me know if you still want the dats, i can upload a zip on megaupload.

[Windows Mobile Themes] pmvyas:
You can use a theme for SPB mobile shell eg Droid Pro+ or Naong's Mobile sense, or use Vostradamus's MSM with one of his transparent skins. These have transparent skins which can be for any program you want to use. You can then use the transparent skin for the Touch alarm & place over the Clock on the home screen. So when you click on the clock, the transparent skin will activate the Touch alarm.

Hope this helps

Need help with MH widgets 1.3 SE

Hello!

I need some help.

I'm using the nice MH-Widgets 1.3 SE Package with MS 3.5.5 on my HD2.

Everything would be wonderfull BUT I can't touch the lower left button (carusel) otherwise Mobile Shell get frozen.

I guess it's only a matter of register key but I don't know enought.

Can anyone guide me to correct this little trouble.

SPB MS 3.5.5 freeze on HD2 with MH widgets pack

Hi Mark !!

Lot of thanks to take care of my little trouble ..

After a fresh copy of MS 3.5.5 the carousel button works perfectly.

It's only after installation of this cab : MH-Widgets 1.3 SE that touching it freeze MS.

This pack is made of several nice widgets just added to the system. The only mods are for the menu bar and the recycle bin size.

The compatibility	seems tested with MS 3.5.2 & 3.5.3 and I'm using MS 3.5.5 but I don't know what the difference is.

There is no response from matthew that's why I try to understand which register key is involved in this trouble to correct it.

Thanks again for your help.

Dominique.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Its not simply a case of registering a key for the carousel as the settings are all in a file called qa_layouts.dat which contains many text files to control all the aspects of mobile shell. If Matthews widget pack is made for an earlier version of Mobile Shell and you install it over a new one then you are effectively overwriting a new version of qa_layouts.dat with an older version. This is most probably what is causing your problems.

Its tough to advise of a workaround. If you have experience with modifying mobile shell then you can copy the newer components of qa_layouts using winzip but I wouldnt recommend it if you dont know what you are doing and I have never used the widget pack you installed so I cant comment on it.

Wish I could be more help.

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Zouluynes:
Hi Mark!

Thank you to explain.

I've extracted and unzipped qa_layouts.dat in the .cab

It contains a lot of .xml files. Most of them are dated december 2009 ...

I'm not an absolute beginer but I don't have knowledge enought to touch such files (and I don't know which one).

Until Matthews re appear I'll take care NOT to tuch the lower left button ...

Many thanks ... Regards ...

Dominique.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
If you can point me where the thread is or post a link to the widget pack then I can quickly tell you which xml files need copying to a new version of the qa_layouts file. If I have time tonight I will do it myself as it will be alot quicker but you will have to test it for me.

I have packed it all back up as a cab so you will need to install it on a CLEAN install of Mobile Shell 3.5.5. Then restart your phone and see if it fixes your problem.

Carousel is back

Hi MASTER Mark ...!

You've made a great job.

To correct like that a .cab you've not developped yourself is fantastic.

The lower left button launches the Carousel as expected (pb fixed),

The tranparent SPB menu bar with extra space for widgets is OK,

The small recycle bin (very usefull) is OK.

It's only 99,99 % perfect because we have lost the MH-Battery widget. It is the nice one with multiple colors in a smooth gradian ...

All the other MH widgets (calendar, birthday, digital clock ..) are OK.

This is the confirmation number 8R7762232Y975684A for a drink ...

and let me know what kind of drink you like ...

Lot of thanks,

Dominique.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Thanks for the drink I prefer Jack Daniels and coke or just a pint of cider ;)

For some reason the missing battery after updating the widgets pack to 3.5.5 seems to be a more in depth problem and I dont have the time to look into it right now but if I get a free minute I will take it apart and rebuild it. Is the battery something that you are in need of or is it just a minor consideration?

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Zouluynes:
Hi Mark!

Have a good Jack Daniels from me ...

I understand that is might be more complicate but ... "Is the battery something that you are in need ..." It's not only a battery meter.

It is a "ALL in one" with a gradian multicolor background with free space for 4 widgets of your choice, and dedicated space for MH Digital clock. (see attached picture).

That's why I choose this pack.

You 're welcome when you get time to look after...

Regards,

Dominique.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Zouluynes:
Hi Mark !!

DON'T touch anything more ...

Believe me or not but now everything is perfect.

Here is step by step the sequence I followed (In my mind, just for a test ..)

- I uninstallled your v2.cab,

- I re installed Matthew's .cab, --> No way .. MH-Battery not there

- I uninstallled Matthew's .cab,

- I uninstallled SPB MS 3.5.5,

- I soft reset my HD2,

- I re installled SPB MS 3.5.5, and finally,

- I re installled Matthew's .cab and

- I soft reset my machine --> All the .cab functions AND Carousel are OK.

I don't know where is the gremlin, I assume that in your v2.cab there is an instruction that wrote a usefull key in the registry which one is not erased by re installing Mobile shell and Matthew's .cab.

I hope not to have to hard reset my machine cause I'm not sure the above procedure will work exactly the same another time.

Once again many thanks for your Job that fixed the trouble and that I saved with security....
