Probably not I do make those mistakes sometimes when im working too fast and on several things at once haha :rolleyes:

If you send me the files I can place the hands in the correct position for you.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
The latest ProPlus packs are only fully compatable with spb Mobile Shell 3.5.1. If the ProPlus weather widgets arent showing then you are running an older version of Mobile Shell.

My Mobile Shell gets stuck sometimes I dont know if its a conflict somewhere between Mobile Shell and ProPlus but as you said all yo uneed to do to unstick it is hit the Start Menu button :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] SsBloodY:
I am with 3.5.0 Build 9593 probably this is not counted as 3.5.1. And probably my new problem is again with the version. I've tried to change my background did something right for a 100% and only the professional layout background has changed.

Could you tell me if I am right?
[Windows Mobile Themes] arena1:
Thank you!

How/where to send the clock dat file?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Yo ucan upload it to any of the file sharing sites. Sendspace.com or mediafire.com are both good ones.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
The weather widgets in my new versions arent compatable with mobile shell 3.5.0 so yes thats your problem. What background screen was you trying to change and what did you do excactly?
[Windows Mobile Themes] SsBloodY:
I did exactly this.

The background on the professional layout has changed but not in the lifestyle.

Is a problem that I've tried to change the background from the spb options. Like it was before installing your themes.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Well those instructions are to change the background on the Professional screen so thats probably why the background there changed lol.

To change your background in the lifestyle screen you need to do it thhrough Menu Button, Change Background. If it doesnt change after you select the image then you need to go into the spb mobile shell folder and delete the background.dat file, then doft reset. Its all in the 1st post and FAQ.
[Windows Mobile Themes] arena1:
Hi there!

Well I haven't done this before (uploading) so I hope I did it correctly...

Got it. My new HD2 turned up unexpectadly today so I will be playing around with that for a while but I will have a look at it tonight maybe if I have time :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] bootheresa:
Congrats on the new phone. Will you be updating your themes to 3.5.2 now that you can test them out? Have fun!

BOO B)
[Windows Mobile Themes] arena1:
Good for you! Congrats on that!

Just came accross the "Clockworks Widget" here in xda...could this work with proplus elegance VGA?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Yeah I should be updating my cabs to 3.5.2 over the weekend but i suspect its just a difference in the qa_layouts.dat file so I might just bring out a hotfix so people dont have to reinstall.
[Windows Mobile Themes] bootheresa:
Thanks mskip. You may want to check this post out: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5169336&postcount=1556

Hello,

Love your creation and have been using it on my phones since the day I got them. Never had a problem or an issue until just now. I downloaded the dat file to change the bottom 3 icons to the one with the task manager. No problems there loved having the icon.

After doing that I decided to change my icon for the task manager since it was on the home screen. I tried to put a box around a new icon, and noticed that none of my boxes would show up in the preview box, tried blue, and yellow etc etc.

Then when I went to the screen to see if it was just a bug in my preview windows, the icon did not have a box at all, and was no longer selectable. It seemed to be part of the background at this point. Went back to edit layout and could not touch, select or move the icon.

Deleted the icon, and made a new shortcut, worked fine, large, small, but when i tried to add a box with colors, same effect.

Went to a blank screen and added an icon. Went to edit layout and and change skin, to put a box around it and the icon vanished.

The boxes no longer work, I am doing a new install now.

I am Running:

SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.1

ProPlus Eltimate Elegance VGA

Stock Windows 6.5 ROm

Omnia II I920
[Windows Mobile Themes] Ceed19:
Ok, did a fresh install, it is def that dat file that changes to the taskmanager on the bottom bar.

After the fresh install I was able to do all the colored boxes. I replaced the dat file and got the task manager. Tried to change a skin to a color box, didn't work in preview, , moved the icon a little up and to the left, froze the icon onto the screen and made it non selectable.

However after the icon was frozen, I changed back to the original dat file of qa layouts.dat and did a soft reset.....

The said icon is now back, selectable, and it has a blue box around it which I selected before changing back to the default dat file.

SO there is def something going on with that dat file
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
What dat file?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Ceed19:
Rename the attached file to qa_layouts.dat and copy to your spb mobile shell folder on your phone, then soft reset. It should work for any resolution but I can only guarentee that it will work with the latest version of Elegance. Back up your existing qa_layouts.dat file first just in case.

Attached Files

qa_layouts.dat.taskman.zip (103.0 KB, 37 views)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
What post was that from?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Ceed19:
this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=566245&page=32
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
ok that qa_layouts.dat file is quite old and pre dates alot of the box and links widgets whose settings are stored in the widgetsproplus.xml file within qa_layouts.dat. When you copied the old file across you also took out the current xml file and therefore denied access to any newer widgets.

If you tell me exactly what you want in the bottom buttons on lifestyle and pro screen I will make a dat file that will work as you want it to.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Ceed19:
:-)

Ahh ok, i see, I wanted the task manager but I have an Omnia II now instead of the Omnia one and I assined the task switcher to a hard button. I would still like the task manager on the bottom var instead of the agenda since the task switcher is sometimes unrealiable.

I wanted to know, is it possible to make a shortcut to whatever it is that closes spb mobile shell?

I know I can go to options and exit, but it it possible to do it via a shortcut
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
ok just delete the .zip from the end of the attached file and copy it across to get Task Manager on both screens.

As far as im aware there isnt link to exit Mobile Shell but if you have mortscript I can send you a script file that does the same thing. If you then make a shortcut to that script then I dont see why you cant add that shortcut to the screen as say a text link.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Ceed19:
that would be fantastic, I would love to be able to easily exit the shell when I am trying to run other memory intensive programs, thankyou, trying the new file now
[Windows Mobile Themes] Ceed19:
the file works great

thankyou

the boxes look great on my I920 screen
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Download and unzip the attached file

If you dont already have mortscript installed then install it

Copy the script file to your phone and make a shortcut to it

Move the shortcut to your device, windows, programs folder

In mobile shell add a shortcut link to the shortcut and change it to a text link if desired

Let me know if it works as I havent been able to test it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Ceed19:
The script worked fine. Made a shortcut and clicked it and it closes the shell.

thankyou
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Glad it worked :)

Changing Icons on Menu Bar

I am using the LARGE SELECTOR BAR 2 FOR PROPLUS ULTIMATE ELEGANCE 3.5.1 and would like to know if it is possible to change the icons across the bottom? If this has been discussed in a previous post and you could point me in that direction I would appreciate it, if not is it possible?
[Windows Mobile Themes] xdenama:
It's great, but my 'Call Log' going to black (text and background) please help me...
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Sorry whats your case again?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
If you have 7 icons you wish to use instead then send them to me and I will make a new menubar for you. Or you can go into the MSkipFiles.dat file and edit the graphics file yourself if you have the knowledge.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Thats because you have installed Mobile Shell 3.5.2 and my themes are only fully working upto 3.5.1. Been a bit busy with christmas so havent had a chance to update my themes for the new version but I will do it as soon as I have the time.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dio62000:
Great, I can't wait. I love your themes but I have the same text color problem too. Thanks for everything and merry Christmas! :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] donnaw:
Call log font colors

Until mskip can work on his stuff replace your CallLog.xml with this file and chance the values for the colors. It has an extra line:

<Font Name="NoCallsFont" Face="Tahoma" HeightPxl="12" Bold="y"/>

Color Name="TextColor" Value =FFFFFF

Color Name="DateColor" Value="CCCCCC

(all you need to change is the Value for each)

Now my text is white and the date is a pale grey. Works well on my dark blue background.

To do this you need to:

1) Rename file to CallLog.xml

2) with your phone connected to your PC go to Program Files>Spb Mobile Shell and copy the qa_layouts.dat file to your PC

3) Make a copy in case you don't like the changes you can put it back to where you were

4) Click on file and select open with WinZip (other zip apps seem to have a problem so use WinZip)

5) extract file (password is b0fm18zq

6) make change to CallLog.xml You can use any color you need (http://html-color-codes.com is a good place to see different colors and their corresponding values).

7) Re-zip all the files from qa_layouts and be sure to re-encrypt with the same password.

8) rename file to qa_layouts.dat (replace .zip with .dat) You will get a warning but just say yes. IF YOU HAVE NOT CHANGED YOUR PC TO UNHIDE FILE EXTENSIONS YOU WILL NOT BE SUCCESSFUL. This will just result in naming the file qa_layouts.zip.dat so be sure you have this setting changed.

9) Replace the qa_layouts on your phone and soft reset.

Can't find the posting right now but someone else posted this fix and it works great so a thanks to them.

[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Oh ok I remember now sorry I didnt deal with it before. I will have a look at the dat file tonight if I can but more realistically its going to be over the weekend now.

The clockworks clocks should work fine as long as you download the VGA version and follow the directions to install them properly :)

I edited my post before you posted your reply, because I may have done something wrong the first time. The second time I tried, it just stayed the same and didn't work.

Anyway so it doesn't work for me, the text is still black on a black background, the caller's photo does appear though.

I'll be patient :D.

Thanks though and happy holidays.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Xclbur5150@yahoo.com:
I was wondering if its possible for you to make identical icons for the "SPB weather" widget as you have for the regular weather widget. I can't get current conditions for my area in the regular widget, but SPB Weather allows for different weather sources so I can get the info I want. This would be the last thing to make Mobile Shell perfect for me! Well, that and being able to dismiss emails and sms using the notifications icons, but I would guess that's something to take up in the SPB Forums ;)

Your awesome bud! Keep up the great work!

Pro elegance take's program memory up to 50% as compared to SPB SHELL(38%) ,Solution?

With Pro elegance program memory goes up to 50% on my HTC touch,while normal spb takes the program memory up to 38%, While this doesnt slow down other applications, the battery life does reduce considerably.I love proplus but just cos of this i dont use it any more. Is there any solution to this?

Irrespective of the replies, thanks for this great app, lets hope spb picks up stuff from this.

Latest Release of SPB SHell

ver 3.53.9885 released yesterday
[Windows Mobile Themes] bbdoc:
After upgrading to this version:

- I cannot get the proplus weather anymore... they all look the same (exactly as the simple weather widget).

- In my call history, I still can see the pictures, but that's all... names are written black on black, so I don't see them until I select it...

... and I lost all my screen settings... will have to recreate them...

that's all for the time being, but I just installed 10 minutes ago... I hope I won't discover more issues...

maybe a Proplus update is required for getting the weather widgets back on a 3.5.3...
[Windows Mobile Themes] bbdoc:
and SPB hangs when trying to select a PLUS image model...

I have a suggestion for the next update - could you add "Invisible" skins to Contact Widgets? I would love it if I could click on a picture frame and instead of opening the gallery, the proper contact pops-up.
[Windows Mobile Themes] StreetSamurai:
Extracting widgets

mskip, first let me say that I really love your SPB theme. It's eminently functional and beautifully crafted.

Now for the obligatory favor request.

My phone is a Verizon Omnia II, and because of all of the apps that are pre-loaded in the ROM the phone only has 64.5 MB of RAM free to begin with. After installing SPB and your theme I'm left with only 20.8 MB free.

I'd like to extract out just the Date Only digital clock widgets and the ProPlus Standard Medium, Text Small (White) and ProPlus Info (Small) weather widgets from your theme and use those instead of the entire theme, at least until someone cooks up a more streamlined ROM for my phone.

I've tried doing this myself, manually copying the widget dat files to my SPB Mobile Shell directory, adding your XML file to qa_layouts.dat and importing the widgets' registry entries. Your skins show up in the lists for the widgets, but selecting them doesn't result in them being applied to the widget.

I saw in your 4shared files that you have a zip file containing standalone installs for the link and picture frame widgets. Would it be possible for you to provide similar standalone installs for the widgets I mentioned, or perhaps to briefly explain how to manually install the widgets?

Any help you can offer would be much appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Themes] skyflier:
Hi, I enjoy your work very much... You have change my thoughts on my phone:)!! I have a question, and I'm really sorry that I write the first time only for this but so it's....

MSkip's ProPlus Elegance 3.5.3 Released

Posted links in first post

+ Updates Elegance Theme to be fully compatable with Mobile Shell 3.5.3

+ Fixes Call Log text colour when using Mobile Shell 3.5.3 with my earlier version

Also updated all my variations for full compatability with my updated themes *HERE*
[Windows Mobile Themes] gerald_s:
Oooooooooh, now its time to update again :D

Thank you very much for this update
[Windows Mobile Themes] mbernstein:
Thanks for the update. One thing, I did a fresh install of MS 3.5.3 and then installed MSKIP 3.5.3. You say the colors of Call Log were fixed, but now I can NOT see my call log. Black letters against black background. What could I've done wrong?

Thanks for the help.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Can anyone confirm if the call log problem has been fixed on the latest version? I could only test it with an emulator but it seemed to be working ok on there.
[Windows Mobile Themes] incubus26jc:
delete post. wrong thread. there are to many of these mskip proplus threads
[Windows Mobile Themes] mbernstein:
Not for me... Any help?
[Windows Mobile Themes] donnaw:
Well, I'm using Ultimate but it works fine for me. I would assume that the CallLog would be the same in Ultimate and Elegance
[Windows Mobile Themes] dio62000:
The new version works perfectly for me, I can read the call log again. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Have you installed any other themes or mods on your mobile shell?

Can you try uninstalling all mobile shell related programs. Make sure that the spb mobile shell folder is gone from the program files directory on the phone, then reinstall mobile shell 3.5.3 and test the call log to make sure its ok. If thats ok then install your desired proplus theme and test the call log again. If its still not working then let me know and I will modify the call log xml file for you to test.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mbernstein:
I'll try that and let you know. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mbernstein:
I believe I isolated the problem. Call log was perfect until I replaced original qa.Layouts for you qa_layots with "launcher-taskman-favorites" the one you created for 3.5.1 (same size etc) then it became black letters. When I restored original qa_layouts, call log got back to normal. That said, could you please update your qa_layouts "launcher-taskman-favorites". I appreciate your help. thanks.

Pro background

Hello MSkip-

I am sorry to ask this but I need your help getting my picture for the background of Pro. I have tried following the instructions you have left but I am tech stupid and for whatever reason cannot figure it out. Everytime I try to change things, my pro background goes all black and starts streaking when I try and slide the screens.

Thanks alot!!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] gerald_s:
Think I'm already confused because of all this different versions :D

Mskip, is there any possibility to have a mixture between ProPlus Elegance and Ultimate? I mean page selector AND empty menubar area? I'm totally fine with Elegance but I would like to replace the button in the menu bar that leads to calls.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dansia47:
Fine! That's what I asked some time ago, but, because of my bad English, Mskip didn't understand me.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Nick2001:
The same for me! Can not change the basic background :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] looker1:
Same to me! A bit slow down compare to 3.01!
[Windows Mobile Themes] gerald_s:
Its amazing, yesterday I installed V3.5 and my first thought was "oh my god, whats this?". I was already on going back to 3.01 but then I decided to wait for mskips elegance. And now, after installing it, everything is fine again :) thanks to mskip. Of course I'm looking forward to all his widgets and clocks and so on but even the naked elegance version is a wonderful and very useful upgrade.

So a big THANKS to mskip, my second donation is on the way.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jakkrith:
I would like to say thank you very much for MSkip ProPlus. It's work very nice on my Asus P535 WM6.1 :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Im working on getting Ultimate working with 3.5 now im just having a bit of problem with it but it will be working soon.

I can make a variant with no pagebar but the white page icons will still appear in that area and you wont be able to put widgets in that space. I will do it later.

There is no sliding action because of the way Elegance is built (7 single pages put together).
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
By default the lifestyle page count is set to 3 :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
I will get to work sorting out how to add the clocks and other widgets back in after I sort out ProPlus Ultimate :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
The background.dat file (where the default lifestyle image is stored) is 240pixels high because I did it on my QVGA phone. If you change the lifestyle image from the menu (if it doesnt change then use the method described in post1 to fix it) then it will be set to WQVGA and you wont have any image problems.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Elegance is made up of 7 single pages so that each page can be selected and you can have the continuous scrolling. Thats why the image is always the same and doesnt pan across as you swipe. The standard lifestyle screen is 1 very wide page which is split into sections to get the panning affect.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Thanks very much mate its appreciated :D

I will start adding back the widgets soon ;)
