Does anyone know how I can use the icons from this thread in 3.5??

Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I did the same thing (called mine "WidgetsCust).However I discovered two references to two keys that actually are not present in the registry:

...\Spb Menu\Scripts and ...\Spb Menu\Skins.

Looks interesting ... :rolleyes:

I second this, could do it in 3.01 but have not been able to do it in 3.5 yet.

A program called Showcase and a couple reg edits will do it. It's been discussed quite a bit in this thread near the beginning I believe.

Hi jgjackson

THANKs jgjackson
[Windows Mobile Themes] henro:
I am on M-ROM 3.51, whichn in turn is build around 23060.

The showcase fix doesn't do it for me................

All the regedits mentioned here and/or at the e-natives base has made no single difference.

Well actually, one difference.... The back button works but looks like bull excrement :(

any other suggestions? :confused:

edit: : I tried with the latest Chrome ROM but there I have the issue as well. The difference is that in the Chrome ROM I do see the SPB bottom bar.(when booting without lock-screen). About two seconds later Windows takes over again........

Does this behaviour ring any bells with anyone?

Birthday widget

Is it possible to implement the birthday widget in version 3.0.1 since i have to many battery drain with 3.5 ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] dancer_69:
This line appears only after I use shell extention and add 3d button in menubar.

I copied my qa_layouts.dat file to pc and after I used shell extention to add 1 more button in menubar. When mobile shell restarts this line appears again, and after sliding to another lifestyle screen becames white and cover the texts.

When I restored the qa_layouts.dat all returned to normal.

So I think that this is because of the program.

I used Jeff's widgets also which add a button to menubar and I didn't have this problem.

hi there anyone knows how to get the windows mobile WM 6.5 23052 bottom task bar to auto hide when mobile shell is running ? i cant see my mobile shell buttons because the bar is lying over em.
[Windows Mobile Themes] NLWaard:
Mmmmm. Ok. Please also sent me the original (to restore) qa_layouts.dat to my mail account, so I can dive deeper into it...

Did you use the 0 button option. That’s the only place ShellExtension adds 50 pixels to the lockscreens... Please let me know.

Sorry for the inconvenience...
[Windows Mobile Themes] NLWaard:
Tip! from the SPB 3.5 Manual

Backup your SPB Mobile Shell Settings...

You can make a Backed-up copy of SPB Mobile Shell settings to be restored in case of data loss.

From SPB Mobile Shell options, tap the menu button and select Backup Settings option.

Fill-in requested fields and tap Save.:D

care to share your battery guage? trying to find that one, but no luck
[Windows Mobile Themes] jgjackson:
The battery gauge across the top there is SPB Pocket Plus.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jgjackson:
I've updated my package to add a couple more skins

Analog Clock::Jeff's - Tab which uses a skin that SPB installs but doesn't use.

Status (email, sms, etc.) - Jeff's which is just like professional except it is 40x40 instead of 50x50 so you can evenly space 6 of them across the screen. This is the same size as Small shortcuts.

It’s the battery gauge from Spb Pocket Plus.;)

First select Taskbar battery gauge and then select Big gauge.

I have Dutch version so exact text is different...
[Windows Mobile Themes] mguzzy:
There are a number of bat programs that will do that. I never wanted the overhead associated with Pocket Plus.. so I'm running LVMTopBat, a small utility that only displays the battery strength. You can find in on the freeware PPC sites. Here's a screen shot.

Selecting new email / SMS in notification manager

I've had this problem with a couple of different cooked ROMs running Mobile Shell on my Vario IV (Touch Pro). If I try to click on the new email notification in the notification manager, the line highlights, but it doesn't open up the notification text or switch to Outlook so that I can read the email. Instead, it just stays on the manager screen. The same happens for new text messages as well. If I unload Mobile Shell, then it works as expected so obviously Mobile Shell is interrupting something somewhere.

I've attached an image to show the notification manager in case I've described it incorrectly!

Is there a workaround for this?

Many thanks!

3.5 with Manilla VGA

MSkip

Will 3.5 work with the Manilla VGA cab? I like to mess around with it a once in while, but basically I run it exactly how you made it. The only thing I changed(your original suggestions) I lightened the bottom icons and made the menu bar transparent(I just disable the dock file by renameing it something odd) I absolutely love it, so if it wont work with 3.5, I will stick with 3.1.

Issues with the latest Windows Mobile ROM's (6.5.1)

I'm still having an issue with Mobile Shell 3.5 on the latest Windows mobile ROM's (6.5.1). I had hoped it was an issue that would be resolved in the newest SPB release but I guess not.

I'm curious however how many others are having similar issues to mine. I've heard many people complain about the Bottom start bar overlapping MS3.5 but very few discussing the bottom 8 picels being unusable. So I wonder, is this an isolated issue, or just an issue that very few are having.

I've set up a poll on the SPB forum in hopes of getting an idea of what issues people running these latest ROM's are having, and how many people it's affecting.

If you're interested at all please check it out here.

A solution for the bottom gap in wm 6.5 with compromize(qvga and vga)

I modified the qp bkg now dat file.

I replaced the background and background_m bmp files which represent a curved curtain in the menus with a bottom 10 pixels black bar.So in this way there is no gap.

Rename the bmp files by deleting the zip and adding bmp and copy them to the qa bkg dat file after unziping it.Rezip the file with the code and put it in the spb shell folder.

Alternatively you can directly copy the prepared for you attached dat file but then you got a fully transparent bottom bar.Delete the zip extension.

vp bkg now dat, is for vga.

main buttons half hidden

I have searched much of the thread, I hope this question was not answered yet.

I can't install ms3.5, because the bottom black bar, with input mode selector (keyboard, letter recognizer, full qwerty, etc. with this little keyboard icon) hides half of the main ms3.5 buttons (launcher, contacts), and don't go down.

This only occurs in the main ms3.5 window (lifestyle). If I change to other pages within ms3.5 (contacts, config, programs...) the problem disappear.

Uninstalling and reinstalling the application don't works.

Is quite difficult to me to write in english, I hope all these guru guys (that this page is plenty of) may understand my problem, and I will thank so much any advice.

Thanks and regards.

Nacho.

PD: I have wm 6.1 (I have readed a similar problem in 6.5 with the famous 10 pixels of the start button, but this is different).

Does this Media Player Widget support Album Art, or is it just a CD COVER design feature?

BTW: This "Windows Media Player" only audio widget could also be used for the "Pocket Player" when U install "Conduits WMP Plugin Adapter".

(see attached screen shots & my signature for more details)
[Windows Mobile Themes] galthop:
You also need to modify WidgetsProf.xml in qa_layouts if you want to get rid of the calender when there is only one appointment.

Look for this:

<Plugin Name="Calendar.Small" Class="Spb.LSP.AdvancedCalendar" Skin="qp_calendar" DoubleSkin="vp_calendar" MiddleSkin="mp_calendar">

<BoundRect X="0" Y="0" Width="240" Height="68"/>

<String Name="_Size" Value="Small"/>

<Int Name="ShowAllday" Value="1"/>

<Int Name="ShowFree" Value="1"/>

<String Name="Alarm" Value="Auto"/>

<String Name="Appts" Value="Auto"/>

<Int Name="Style" Value="0"/>

</Plugin>

Change Height to "34"

This works on my touch hd using the Professional-Small skin. You will probably need a different value if your phone has a different resolution screen.

[Windows Mobile Themes] imdarkside:
bummer

If you have msskips mods applied you may want to uninstall try a clean reinstall and install ms3config in a different order. I noticed the msskip, ms3config, and the imarche mods had to be applied in a certain order with 3.0. I played around with the three on 3.0 until i figured out the order then forgot which order i did it but I definitely had to put them on in an order. Each time it failed I cleared the sb mobile shell and the mod aps then reapplied sb mobile then each app in different order. eventually i got em all to play nice.

If you have msskips 3.5 mods applied or another mod you may want to try a fresh install of spb3.5 and the mods in a different order. ms3config will spoil you and I cant imagine not being able to use it. imarche is not yet ready for 3.5 but should be ready tomarrow:

btw, im on touch wm6.1

Do you get this state when you leaving a specific program?

It looks like you ended a program while in text input state. And the program is not correctly ended. Then it’s (I think) possible.

Force feedback

According to the manual: "Force feedback: Enable, if you would like to receive feedback on tap and hold." ????

The use????

I don’t know... But I didn’t program it.. I turned both setting to off.
[Windows Mobile Themes] NLWaard:
Thanks for your Kind words…:)

It’s because of, people like you, I like to program… and share ShellExtension..

NLW
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Force Feedback basically gives you a little vibrate when you hold the tap and hold on the screen to delete a widget, edit it or change it. Turning that off in the spb mobile shell system settings will save you a bit of battery if you do that alot and it has no real other function so it might as well be turned off.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dr_tracker:
Keeping within this subject.

Is there a way to remove the empty days completely from the agenda, leaving only active the days with appointments on them???

This only indicates your current working page.

To change the default page# when booting up, you need change

<# of pages> is the number of pages you set in Windows Mobile Shell (e.g., 3, 5 , 7, etc)

Change icon on mortscript shortcut

Hi, i did try to search rhis problem in XDA but any result.:(

If i link some mortscript file from my shortcut funtion i have on the screen all mortscript shortcut with the same icon. I did not find in mobile shell 3.5 the possibility to change the icon on these shortcut. Any ideas how i can do that?:confused::confused::confused:

Many thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
Create a shortcut file pointing to the mortscript and assign the icon you want to the shortcut, then use that .lnk in ms3.5 ;)

EDIT: Uhm.... re-reding what I wrote maybe it's not too clear... let me explain better:

Let's say you want to use "test.mscr" mortscript file

- Create a shortcut to it, let's name it "test.lnk"

- Specify the icon you want inside the lnk file

- Add test.lnk to "my shortcuts" in Mobile Shell

- Now you can add a widget wherever you want pointing at the shortcut you created in "my shortcuts" and it will have the desired icon

1) is there a way to add a personal city in the weather of SPB MSH3.5

2) is possible to use another contact software instead the MSH3.5 the best for me is YOTA CONTACTS
[Windows Mobile Themes] vectorbl:
Hi Vostradamus, many thanks for your help. You fully understood my request but...

To do a .lnk file no problem there is a WM tool do that, but i'm not able to modify the .lnk file to assign a new icon.

Could you be so kind to explain how i can do that? Many thanks.

What needed to do to change the bacground of launher, contcacts etc.. screens?

I just want, instead stadard colors to have an image as background.

I used SpbMobileShellSkins mortscripts, but they destroyed other mods and edits, like sence widget mods, MH battery and stuf. So are not usuable.

Any directions on how to do it?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Hoffi84:
Do anyone have both, the MH-Widgets and Jeffs Widgets working? For me, only one of them works at the same time. It isn't enough to add the WidgetsJeff.xml to the qa_layouts.dat from MH-Widgets. The skins like "Jeff's - Tiny" are selectable but not shown.

Any ideas? ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] NIKOSXRI:
You can use fondecran.

Its very nice.

You only have to unzip the fondecran dat file and edit the pictures with your own.

Of course you must use the clean qa layout of the fondecran program initially and then edit it afterwards as you like.

So even if i send you my qa layout probably wont meet your preferences about 2 or 3 buttons widgets etc.

http://www.mobilecustom.fr/forum/index.php/topic,1387.0.html
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
The icon assigned to a shortcut is actually part of another file, be it an executable, a dll or other, and it's just referenced inside the .lnk itself.

Provided that you already have a file containing the desired icon, you could just use a tool like this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=275577 to create your .lnk already with the icon definition inside :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Hoffi84:
Solved. :) I had to do it the other way. Copy all files from Jeffs Widgets to MS3 folder and insert the MH-Widgets.xml to the qa_layouts.dat. Now both packs are working. Thanks to the creators. Very nice widgets.
