find a sense clock you like (f.ex. here http://www.mobilecustom.fr/forum/index.php/topic,2403.0.html) and in the xml of the widget find this line <Int Name="KeepLeadingNull" Value="1" /> change the value to 0 . Don't know if you will get the AM/PM

Does this tip work for backing up the position of widgets, number of pages and wallpapers? I´d be very glad if someone answer to this. It´s the only reason I haven´t upgraded my ROM.

Thanks in advance!

How can I get SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 for free?

Is there a way I could download it and convert the trial into a "non-trial" version? Could it be done with some Registry editing?

UPDATE: Never mind. I have found my answer.
[Windows Mobile Themes] HelderJr:
Thank you, mate!

Comptronic, this is considered piracy and it´s not allowed here on xda. Try supporting the developer and buy it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Comptronic:
Sorry about that. I will not post piracy questions.

Onymous,

I don't see with my bare eyes any motion on the parts at all after watching it continously for 2 minutes on my Blackstone with the official shipped rom. I had soft reset my Blackstone still no observable motion in 2 minutes and beyond.

I have also noticed SPB Time has a number of gorgeous animated skins, i.e., real moving / ticking parts, but out of some unknown reasons the production line that produces the clock faces doesn't care to produce much widgets to work on SPB Mobile Shell, i.e., I have seen none clock widget with moving parts for the Lifestyle or Professional Homes ever been developed for the Shell's users.

I think your master piece is the first of the kind, an analogue clock with delicate moving parts so that it would not always wear the same look, but I am not sure if your mod is so designed to make the parts moving at a bearly discernible speed or would only cause an orientation change of the "Clockworks" each time when MS 3.5 is restarted. Or, there may be other things need to be done before I can see the parts ticking. If so, please let me know what these other things are. If that is it please consider to keep your challenging works going.

All the bests!

Carousel, still a problem

Hi to all,

I've read all the posts one after the other and still unable to find an anwser to my simple/big problem.

I'd just like to see (and use) the carousel. I don't know what's wrong with my phone. I can use perfectly SPB (3.5.0) but anything I've done has been without use to see the carousel.

To make a summary, I use a HTC Touch Pro II, WM 6.1 (stock ROM Orange), S2U2 2.40, activated the "personal" view (only), with 5 pages.

I have the "virtual button" at the bottom left of my screen to activate/view the carousel but when I tap on it, nothing happens.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Can someone advise why 3D message Viewer does not have effect of folding "paper messages" and going through them smoothly? I have installed SPB 3.5.3 and it works great. The only thing that bugs me is 3D Message Viewer - it simply slides to the bottom one by one as I slide with my finger. No folding of the paper edge as I have seen it on the demo video and no smooth operation - it kind of shows choppy performance?

The HTC task manager only works from the today screen, if you are referring to the capability of clicking the upper right corner to bring down a list of running programs and a couple of utility icons.

It doesn't work when my TP2 is using Sense 2.5 either; only from the original WM today screen.

You could use arcswitch (free), or SPB Pocket Plus (not free) to provide similar functionality.
[Windows Mobile Themes] stevedebi:
Oh, I had a use for it when I accidentally restored too many panes from Vostradamus Shell Manager. I used the carousel to see which ones to delete!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
lol :D

nonetheless.... the tiled view would be more effective and comfortable for something like that :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] jsisson:
For anyone missing a task manager you should really try WisBar Advance. It is well worth the $10.00 it cost. Every time I get a new phone I try using it without it but end up putting it on within about an hour - it just makes moving around so much easier. Biggest problem with it is that it is feature rich and needs to be set up to suit your particular requirements. Once setup you'll likely not change it because its functions will become second nature to you.

In my screen shot the left windows logo brings up a cascading start menu. The next two icons are running apps - tap on one and screen goes to that task. Tap blank space and a drop down task manager pops up. Other icons are notification and status icons. Tap on date/time, from any app, and you'll be returned to the home screen. Other icons can all be defined as to what happens when you tap and/or tap and hold on them. When you are in a app the right most blank space becomes an X to close the app or an OK if that is appropriate. This is just how I have mine setup - everything is completely customizable. It also can perform other functions - I have a "blank" shortcut on the "minutes" of the large clock that turns the screen off when I tap it (via a WisBar shortcut) so I don't have to use the phone's power button.

Sorry to be so long winded, I have no interest in Lakeridge Software, it's just a program I have been using since the PPC2002 days and have found, once setup, to make life much easier on Windows Mobile - almost as valuable as Mobile Shell itself.
[Windows Mobile Themes] lwlee:
Do the SPB apps work on HTC HD2 or are they meant for Omnia only?

Appreciate clarifications before paying.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
spb apps work fine on HD2, don't worry :)

I also think they all have a trial version which you could try for a couple weeks before actually having to pay for it... so you should be able to test them and be sure if they suit your taste ;)

Could you tell me if this completely did away with the panel you were trying to get rid of?

SBSH Pocket Weather

Have not been a fan of SPB Mobile Shell [Weather] or There Stand Alone Product... Very inaccurate.... What I'm asking is.... Is there a way to incorporate Pocket weather into Mobile Shell 3.5 & hide Spb weather? I know that we could not do it for mobile Shell 2.xxx. Sadly it could be the deal breaker when deciding to purchase mobile shell 3.5
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
You can link to any weather app you want, but just as a shortcut: the weather widgets will always be either mobile shell weather or spb weather.

Of course you can hide those widgets, but you won't have any forecast directly on your screen without opening your preferred weathr app first.

If it's about accuracy, though, spb weather can use custom weather sources... so as long as you have a reliable weather source that suits your taste (and a template for it), you should be able to use it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jsisson:
Pocket Informant has a shortcut to "Add New Contact" as well as several others.

[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
:p Thanks!

Well done! :) Family is important, even my cat reminds me of that when I don't notice her 'cause I'm too deep into the pc... starts meowing around and stepping on the keyboard lol :D

Not that I know of... when there's more than one lifestyle panel it just does not work without a shell restart :( an "on the fly" wallpaper refresh feature would be nice, but that would be up to spb I'm afraid (as in: we'd better forget about it) lol :p

Vostradamus Mobile Shell Manager 4.08

For Spb Mobile Shell 3.5.x

​

ChangeLog:

(14 May 2010)

Mobile Shell Manager 4.08:

- Optimized activation and deactivation scripts: no more waiting for list reload after activating/deactivating a widget!

- New functions set: create/edit/delete changing pic widget.

The changing pic is a special widget to which users can assign a “pictures set” and it will automatically change picture at set intervals: daily, weekly, monthly… user’s choice as well as at what time the change will take place (please note that Mobile Shell will be automatically restarted for the picture change to take effect, so it’s advisable to choose an update time when the phone is likely not in use).

Users can create as many changing pictures widgets as they want, assigning them to different pictures sets and sizes to enhance screen customization possibilities.

Once created, changing picture widgets will be available as skins for a “current date” object, much like the backing panels.

Pictures sets will be released like widgets libraries, plus users can easily create their own ones following the tutorial written by Jotha

Changing Pics Pic Sets:

- Animals (courtesy of Jotha, includes Small and Medium Square, Small and Medium Portrait, Small and Medium Landscape layouts)

- Cars (courtesy of Jotha, includes Small and Medium Square, Small and Medium Landscape layouts)

- Nature (courtesy of Jotha, includes Small and Medium Square, Small and Medium Landscape layouts)

MSkip ProPlus Elegance for Mobile Shell 3.5

Contains the following:

* 7 selectable Lifestyle screens instead of the standard 3* PLUS a 3 button menu on the Pro and Lifestyle Screens on Portrait Mode

* PLUS an extra favourites (contacts) screen (click on contacts and then swipe your finger on the screen to the left to bring up the extra screen), this screen is fully customizable and you can swipe off the second favourites screen.

* PLUS I added a 9th panel in the Spb Menu Screen called Spb Menus which contains 10 spb mobile shell shortcuts that can be selected as application links to be placed on the screen if desired.

* PLUS The screens can be continously scrolled now in portrait AND landscape mode so you can go from screen 7 straight to screen 1 with a single left swipe

* PLUS I added a Bar at the bottom (just above the MenuBar) which you can use to select exactly which screen you want to jump to without having to scroll through all the screens to get there

* PLUS Pro Screen enabled as default (can be turned off in the settings)

* PLUS the recycle bin at the bottom has been deleted as it serves no purpose

* PLUS the Bottom Menu Bar has been made invisible and editable which means the whole screen can be used to place widgets.

* PLUS The Pro screen all other screens can have a custom image (see fundotela files below and instructions)

* PLUS Pro Screen enabled as default (can be turned off in the settings)

how do i change the icons on shortcuts on the lifestyle pages? i would really love to use some custom iphone icons.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Siliconstar:
If you want to create you own widgets, here there is what I discovered after playing for one day with MS 3.5:

To create new widgets, simply add its entry in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Spb Software House\Shared\Spb Menu\WidgetPackages\Spb.YOURSETNAME (i created a "Custom" set, but you can insert your widgets in the existing "Widgets" and "WidgetsProf" sets)

Each entry has these values:

(Default) -> String

Index -> Dword --- I think it's only for reference

Size -> String --- Displayed Widget Name

Class -> String --- Widget name in the format name:xmlfile (in qa_layouts.dat)

PluginClass -> String --- I think this is read by the program to select where to insert the widget in the widgets selection menu

(see attached pictures for details)

To create a new entry in the widgets selection menu (let's call it widget group), you have to insert it in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Spb Sftware House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\WidgetList where you can also specify the image number to associate to the entry.

Hope this may help you.
