You have to read very carefully - they ARE very similar. Elegance has lifestyle screens that act different than typical MS in that they are (if my understanding is correct) positioned end-to-end. Ultimate is not - it is more in line with MS Standard, to coin a phrase. In Ultimate you get to use the space between the soft keys - Elegance you don't. There are other differences. Its a matter of looking closely at the offerings and deciding what works best for you.

For me, I'm an Ultimate kind of guy.

(Well, that's what my wife says.) :rolleyes:

Anyone know the " Parameters" to be typed in S2U2 to open up 3D SMS/email viewer from S2U2? Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] abumhmmd1:
yes , Nils said :

The attached taskbar icon set is tailored for WM6.1 CF03 on the i910. It is put together from a few other peoples work at XDA and Modaco.

If you have other than that I will have to make changes or it will not work correctly.

The cab will completely install it and remove it if you don't like it.

adding 9th icon to Spb Menu

I have made some registry edits that I find very useful so perhaps someone else will too.

I use the 9th spot on the SPB Menu for MY Stuff. I added it manually:

1) Add a new Key to HKLM\Softwae\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Menu\Root\My Stuff (or whatever you want to call it)

2) The Text string can be whatever you want to call it

3) You will need a 9 button icon set

Or you can install one of MisKips cabs - they set up a 9th icon for you

4) Under My Stuff I proceeded to add different categories. eBooks, Movies (which i use for recorded TV etc.)

5) Be sure to have the DWord ADD set to 1 so you don't have to use the Sbp Menu Editor to add links

6) Set Draw Type Grid or List. I find Grid works well for files with short names but if you have books (or anything else) with long names List works best.

7) "Image" requires an Icon number. I found a good list under the MS3 link

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=507697&page=60#593

8) Now you are able to link any file for shortcuts buy navigating to Spb Menu\My Stuff and using the regular Add Files option Spb provides

9) Once you have this set up you can set widgets whereever you want. I pretty much keep a "Media" lifestyle page where I keep these links. So much easier than digging around on the card to find the file I'm interested in.

I find this to be an easy way to manage my recorded TV, books, and music that I store on my sd card. Especially since the books and TV change a lot. I link my playlists under Music.

Most of you probably already knew how to do all this but maybe someone will find it useful.

ps - I use Resco Reg editor and I export this part of the registry in case I want to try out diferent cabs (such as MSKips). I can then import my changes without recreating them.

I've managed to get the sence widgets for 3.5 to work, anyone else finding there are only a couple of extra widgets? (clocks, battries but no new calendars, incoming items etc). also it might just be me but I had to retset my phone severl times before in would run propley, just hoping it'll work first time next time I reset. anyone else have this problem?

Still looking forward to mskips widjets particulary the weather icons, just need the simple weather icon with txt to the side get get my layout perfect!

Also just wondering if anyone knows how I can get the old wireless manager icon? (the simple blue round one), I find the new one just looks a bit too complex, plus I'm windows mobile so the current connection status is displayed in the taskbar anyway.

it is very good pro., but how can i use it

thanks

[Windows Mobile Themes] albarona1:
ok

1- libraries

2- import libraries ( and go where it is )

Looks like SPB very quietly released 3.5.4 today.

I can't find a changelog anywhere. Anyone have any ideas on what they might have fixed/added in this?

Update:

Found this on a random web site. No idea if it's accurate.

Version 3.5.4 (May 14, 2010):

• Changes in the Internet search widget

• Fixed a couple of issues around logging into Facebook and Twitter

• Backlight support for new devices

• Other bug fixes and optimizations

like ( task manager - calculator - .... ) in thin mode

but for widget it is very good

thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
Great, I'm glad you got it working! :)

Unfortunately, menubar items are not customizable (not by the manager I mean, it's possible but it requires some manual editing on a few files)

I could consider making other menubars with different items, but know that the menubar buttons can

only

link to internal mobile shell panels, so no calculator or other "normal" apps... they can only link to things like weather panel, launcher, contacs, agenda panel, time panel and so on....

Hi NLWaard, I'm happily using your Shell Extention 1.4.3 on my HD2.

I think it could be a nice thing to have a dedicated thread with space for new ideas and further development, as long as you wish to keep this project alive, of course.

I began to use Shell Extension mainly for having an easy accessible and programmable third button at the bottom of the SPB home screen. One of the issues I find is that, in landscape mode, the two icons beside of the central one are misaligned: is there a quick fix for that? Thanks

Latest Version Install

Well, that was interesting. I installed the latest MS, and everything was all messed up - the widgets from VMM were listed but not working. I ended up uninstalling all widgets, re-installing them and then restoring the backup panels. After all of this, my MS was back to the way it looked before the upgrade.

It might help future upgrades if there were an option to uninstall all widgets. I can reinstall a widget package to get back to normal, but I had to uninstall them one-by-one.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
ehm.... re-updating the xml file after installing the new mobile shell would have been enough :D

Anyway, that's another use for widgets sets save and restore functions... they can save/restore the currently active widgets all at once ;)

(the xml update is still needed though) :p

I can only see an emty sqare when using Sense or Espresso Weather Frame, Weather (Mid), Image (Mid), Image (Small), Info, Sense Manilla. I want them to look like on every screenshots from Espresso Mod, but I still don't know how to do that...

battery / clock bar

I apologize if this question was answered but I can't seem to find it.

I downloaded MH Widgets. I tried to get the battery / clock bar. I read the Readme.txt in the zip folder I downloaded and it said to add the MH Battery and then the MH Digital Clock. I did, but that did not work. When I went to change the skin on the battery widget, there were none for me to choose from. Same thing happened with the clock widget. Did I do something wrong? Maybe my display is not a WVGA or VGA? How do I find out what display I have? Please help.

Below is a screenshot of what happens when I go to Change Skin for the MH Battery and the MH Digital Clock.

[Windows Mobile Themes] BereanPK:
Could someone answer me a quick question I don't seem to have found the answer to already...

In MS 3.5.4, exactly what is enabling the G-Sensor supposed to do (beyond enabling portrait/landscape rotation which it already does)? In the Carousel, if I tilt my Pure up & down, it does the same to the carousel, but I would have thought that tilting left and right would spin the carousel left and right respectively...

Thanks,

~ BereanPK
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
nope, the carousel only tilts up and down... left and right is still finger-swipe only...

If I'm not mistaken, tilting the (useless) carousel is the only g-sensor handled thing in mobile shell (switching to landscape/portrait has nothing to do with mobile shell itself)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Beefheart:
Anyone?

Also, is there any way to get the date widget to open up the HTC Calender Application and the HD2 Windows hard button to open up the MenuBar Launch instead of the Windows menu? Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
Menubar buttons can

only

link to internal mobile shell panels. If you need something different down there I'd suggest to use an invisible menubar and just place normal links in that area

To have the date widget open something different you can use an invisible link to the desired app placed right over it
[Windows Mobile Themes] Beefheart:
Thanks, I notice HTCCalender.exe won't execute, presumably due to Manila not running so that's a no-go it seems.

Do you know a way of getting the Windows hard button to open SPB's menu instead of Windows?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
I don't have an HD2 so I'm not sure how that button can be configured :p

If it's like any other button you should be able to set it to open the launcher going to settings - personal - buttons

The apps you can assign are those inside windows\start menu\programs so you should put in there a shortcut file like this:

71#"\Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell\MenuLauncher.exe" -cmd:"dlg|:LAUNCHER"

How did you get your clock/battery bar to work? Have you seen what the skin on my MH-Battery looked like on reply # 2404?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
If I'm not mistaken, MH Widgets are only for vga and wvga devices, you might wanna check this on MH's thread... if that's reallly the case then you just can't use them unless MH ports them to qvga resolution

[App] Spb Mobile Shell Backup/Restore Utility (any Resolution)

Install the following cab. It will create a folder in your start menu called 'MobileShell Tools'.

In that folder is a Backup program to Backup upto 3 completely different setups and also copy the backups to the storage card in case you want to upgrade/hard reset your Rom or just want to save the backup for future use.

There is also a Restore Utility to allow you to Restore any of the backups you created.

Lastly there is a little utility to Restart Mobile Shell if needed and a Donate button if you find this useful and want to buy me a drink

It can be used on pretty much any version of Spb Mobile Shell and will work whether it has been modified or not.

Hope this helps some people.

[Windows Mobile Themes] tensortens:
A quick question:

I have win mobile 6.1, spb shell 3.5.4 and mobile sense theme, On my Omnia 1.

The weather update widget is set to automatically update.

My default setting for the Gprs connection is set to off, so whenever an

apllication needs to connect to the net, it opens a data connection.

But as i noticed, spb shell isnt cabaple of doing that, which shows in the

weather update...it does not auto update, only manually.

It updates automatically, but only when a data connection

is already active.

Any help?

[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Thats pretty much the only way it will work. If your data connection isnt active then Mobile Shell wont connect automatically and the weather wont update. Another failing on Spb's part im afraid but well known about.

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
Actually, there could be sort of a tricky workaround for that :p

If you schedule a mail synch every once in a while and mobile shell weather is set to update weather every x hour, it looks like MS will "remember" that it has to update the forecast data and it will do it as soon as windows mobile opens the connection to synch the email ;)

That's how I'm currently updating mine... I have mail synch scheduled every 30 minutes, and weather every 4 hours... as a result it looks like I never reach 5 hours without weather updates :)

This seems to work

only

with mobile shell weather though... no luck so far trying the same with spb weather (at least on my device) :p

Ok, I 'think' O

Scenario: I am using MS 3.54 with naong's Mobile Sense. I' like to have WidgetJeff's clock to show AM/PM. I've extracted all WidgetJeff files to the MS directory. I have inserted the WidgetJeff.XML into my qa_layouts and also run the registry import.

What is happening is that I can see the big analog clocks as an option, but cannot view them or see them when selected. I'm afraid to overwirte the qa_layout file from MobileSense as I may have more issues?

Just released :)

Vostradamus Mobile Shell Manager 5.01
​

ChangeLog:

(31 May 2010)

MsM 5.01:

- Added Full Backup/Restore function to backup the whole current mobile shell configuration: activated widgets, additional panels, menubars, custom backgrounds, custom widgets added through the manager and so on. Due to the wholeness of the backedup data, Backups created with this function will be restorable only on the same Mobile Shell version.

- Import Library function now remembers the last used folder

- Create Shortcuts – MS Panels function now also creates a shortcut to Mobile Shell Task Manager. This is required for the “thin 2” menubar to work

- Small fix on credits visualization

Menubars Library:

New Menubar library containing:

- "Thin 2" menubar - Same looks as the "Thin" one, different links. Requires running "Create Shortcuts - MS Panels" function in MsM first to enable the task manager. - (made on request)

- "Side Buttons Original" - Side buttons (carousel and menu) with the looks of the original ones, nothing in between them. Whole screen height available for widgets. - (made on request)

Different wallpapers

Can I have different wallpapers for each panel of the lifestyle ? I have an option to have seven panels, but just one wallpaper.

What about on the professional panel ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
lifestyle panel: only sliding background unless you try some modded huge picture frame on every page (but that could crash the shell if you try to switch to landscape)

additional lifestyle panels: you can have them using some mods, all of them would share the same wallpaper as the main lifestyle panel though

professional panel: can change its wallpaper using some mods, not directly in standard mobile shell. Wallpaper will not slide through pages though, it will be "fixed" and only the page content will slide.

additional pro panels: you can have them using some mods, they can have a different background each, but always "non sliding".
