I think I finally understand. the incoming items icon stays the same. no matter if its there is a new text or not. The only thing that changes is the number in the little square. Right?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
Uhm... maybe I didn't get what you wanted then :)

It's behaving like that because I made it that way, but it's surely possible to have it transparent (except for the 0) when there's nothing and visible all the way when there's something.... but to make it I need to know which icon set you want, the standard one or the professional one?
[Windows Mobile Themes] duffmanbeer01:
Thats great. I would like the professional ones.
[Windows Mobile Themes] _LeCiel_:
Didn't you instal the cab I gave you? Or you don't use QVGA?

HTC Contacts

Has anyone figured out a solution to Mobile Shell disabling HTC Contacts when you are in the phone screen? Are the contacts part of TF3d? And TF3d being disabled is causing this? HELP !!!!!!! Thanks !!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
If you want S2U2 in the bottom you will have to make the bottom area useable as you cant place non spb links in the bottom. ProPlus Ultimate can provide this for you :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] _LeCiel_:
I managed to figure it out myself, but thanks:]

I found a solution for my own problem - I didn't really put a shortcut to S2U2 in the menu but deleted all icons from the menubar as well as the Trash Can icon using ShellExtension. Deleting the TrashC allows you to put Wigdets in place of the menubar. That's it. I just put a shortcut to S2US on every Lifestyle Page, so know I have a scrolling "menubar" which looks kinda cool.

Hope someone finds this usefull. I still don't know how to 'really' put S2U2 on the menubar... but who cares ;P

What resolution?
[Windows Mobile Themes] ali1010:
Hi vostradamus!

... my bad.

your invisible status works. tested it when i had new message the 0 turned to 1.

thats what i wanted. i thought the 0 will not change.

may i ask again for a medium or big size of it wqvga. it would be great if you can also make the notification number bigger. and if possible it would be nice if theres a new message the "1" text will turn to red. i know you are very good in changing text colors.

thanks much

Hi there :-)

Is there a way to get MS3.5 to return to your home-screen after opening up a contact and sending an sms for example?

Everytime I do an action I'd rather not end up on the contact card -much rather on the homescreen...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
Question: it turned out that I misunderstood what the other user wanted, he wanted the status icons to be invisible only when there are 0 incoming items, but visible where there are more, so I fixed it to work that way.

Do you want the same thing or did you really want an always invisible one?

Yes the number can be made bigger, but I fear I can't change its color... I mean, it can't have different colors when 0 and when more than 0
[Windows Mobile Themes] ali1010:
Hi vostradamus!

Thank you so much for assisting me on this requests.

PLEASE make: (wqvga)

1. status icons invisible on 0 visible on more using your red status icons ( is it possible to be a lighter red or more transparent)

2. always invisible medium or bigger size with bigger number

sorry i made 2 requests that would take more of your time.

2 to be sure and have choices. hehe...

Background on Pro Screen

Hi mskip,

I would like to know is there a way to put a custom background image on the Professional Screen without having to install Pro Elegance or Ultimate (I like the way my SPB looks now and all I need is to put a photo of my friends on the Pro Screen with invisible contact widgets on their faces)

I know I could put a full screen "Photo Frame" widget but:

1) it's a battery eater

2) I don't want to open a slideshow every time I miss my friends faces

REGARDING PICTURE FRAME PLUS1 (NO BORDER) ON 3.5.1BETA1 PROPLUS THEMES

The problem seems to be that Spb in their infinite wisdom has changed the way frames work and so Mobile Shell is now not allowing a frame with a "0" border, which is why the No Border frame crashed the Shell.

The only workaround "for now" is to give the frame a border of 1 which allows frame1 to work but means in Full Screen there is a 1pixel gap around the image. You wont really notice it on the other sizes but until I can find a way round it (if its at all possible) the Full Screen frame wont truely be full screen.

Rename the attached file and delete the .zip from end, then copy across to your Spb Mobile Shell folder on your phone and soft reset. Hopefully it can be fixed but im not sure..

THIS ONLY AFFECTS THE MOBILE SHELL V3.5.1.BETA1 PROPLUS THEMES!!

Has anyone at all figured out how to add your own city to the weather widget? I don't care if anyone thinks it is useful or if I should or if I can look out the window, I would like to find a way to add MY city to the widget instead of a city an hour from here.

I have read through 24 pages and my eyes are blurry. Any ideas? If so, where? Link?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
I think if you want it added to mobile shell weather you have to ask on spb forum and wait for spb guys to add it (hoping they will).

Another solution could be using Spb Weather (the stand alone spb weather application)... after installing it you'll have another different weather widget available, named of course "spb weather". That's useful 'cause it does not rely only on accuweather, but you can define different weather sources, so you will "only" have to look for some template taking the data from a site which "knows" your city.

I'd suggest to look for the template

before

getting spb weather though, 'cause the app is not free and you'd want to be sure you'll be able to configure it as you want before paying for it ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] donnaw:

SPB Weather will let you find the "code" for your city from weather.com and input it. Check out the trial download and the SPB Weather forums for instructions. But as said it is not free.

3.5.1 MSkip ProPlus Ultimate

Any way to change the professional layout background?
[Windows Mobile Themes] keithdupont:
I don't know if this solution still works or not. Download and install spb weather. It is not free but you are not going to keep it. It will usually find your city, use it for a couple of days and update the spb weather as well as the regular spb mobile shell weather. After that uninstall spb weather and spb mobile shell should keep your current city the was really added by spb weather. I don't know if this will work for 3.5 mobile shell. I used this method about a year ago when ms 3.0 first came out and it worked.

Did you ditch TF3D already?

my mobile shell wont download CURRENT CONDITIONS?! does anyone have a fix for this?

also MSKIP can you please let me know if there is a way to inject your widgets into another theme? i would really appreciate it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] AlienHairball:
Known issue or "feature" if you ask SPB I'll bet.

Current Conditions only show up for really major locations according to the weather service SPB uses. So if you have a larger city near you try switching to that.

For example I'm in a suburb outside of Denver, CO, USA. If I put in my actual location I get no current conditions, but if I put in Denver then I do. Of course the conditions aren't that accurate because of this, but we have no control over what the Mobile Shell weather uses.

Note2: (Changing Custom Backgrounds on Pro Screen and other screens):

To change the Pro Background, rename the file to qa_fundotela.dat and copy to Spb Mobile Shell folder.

To change Background on the other screen (except Lifestyle and Pro) rename the file to qa_fundotela2.dat and copy to Spb Mobile Shell folder.

Always restart Mobile Shell after copying for it to take affect.

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
