Matt will MS 3.5.2 work tith your Ultimate or do I need to wait for your update ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] bootheresa:
I would wait. Its not the big of an upgrade. Very minor things mostly for HD2 phones. All themes installed to 3.5.2 turn call log font black and unreadable.

[Windows Mobile Themes] bootheresa:
Very Much Welcome.

I have seen it mentioned earlier in this thread that sweeping, folding and flipping no longer work only sliding. Does anyone else know why it's not working in 3.5.1? And yes I tested on clean install of MS before adding this theme with same result. I would very much like to have this back along with the 3 missing panels from carousel. If anyone could help with this I would apppreciate it greatly. Thanks.

Hi mskip,

I'm using the program launcher widget in ProPlus UltimateV2 but I'm not able to start the program launcher in the advanced mode. In always starts in the simple mode. In order to view the advanced mode I have to click on the SPB menu tab and then go back to the launcher tab...

Could you help me?

Thanks,

Nice addon thanx :)

Did you manage to make the "digital clock" ( just digits ) in different colours yet ?

Have a great Christmas and New Year m8 :D

To be honest I havent even looked at that yet but I will sharpen up the digits and add new colours for my next release :)

Hi Mark, that is a very impressive job you've done there on the Crimbo add ons. Thanks very much:D I never expected such a spectacular work of art.
[Windows Mobile Themes] JaCoL_JcL:

Hey Mark nice Christmas theme... :)

But i want to add to my UltimateV2 this buttons :o

Great buttons - i gonna love it ! tell me how to add it and edit it :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Well I never do things half hearted you should know that by now haha :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Thats a variation for the bottom manubar on Ultimate Elegance what do you mean you want to add it to UltimateV2?

If you want those buttons at the bottom then you will have to install Ultimate Elegance and then copy the appropriate files across from the variations post.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jpen:
so there is no way to get it on UltimateV2? that would be awesome...i would use Ultimate Elegance but i like how the UltimateV2 has the smooth slide between pages....if Ultimate Elegance had that then i would just switch over
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Not really possible to have it on UltimateV2 as the screens arent selectable on UltimateV2 and that menbar is built to select 7 individual screens. Thats why I made Ultimate Elegance.

Backlight Bult icon missing

@mskip, when i first installed UltimateV2, i believe i saw the bulb icon to adjust the backlight somewhere in adding widget screen, but later it is missing. what might be the reason? is it possible to bring it back by doing some registry tweak?

thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Menu Button, Add Widget, Shortcut, Tools, Backlight. If its not there then you need to reinstall Mobile Shell as something has gone wrong.
[Windows Mobile Themes] twarren777:
Hello I am kinda new to this site but enjoy Mobile shell on my touch pro.

I installed your work and you deserve a big thanks for your time and energy producing and making MS even better.

I also like Changeskin stuff and was wondwreing if this MSkip_ProPlus_UltimateV2_3.5.1_VGA_112909.cab is compatible with changeskin.

I did try but changeskin put the lifestyle page back to default but I like your way of lifestyle page. Just asking to see if I have to choose one over the other.

I hope not but.......

Thanks again for your work. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Changeskin and ProPlus Themes arent directly compatable because they both use the same qa_layouts.dat file sorry.

Thanks for the quick reply. Now for the hard decision. :confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] BLACKE30:
i installed proplus ultimate on my mobile shell 3.5.1 and didint really like it, i just wanted to get the extra clocks but it removed some stuff that i liked like the trash can and etc. now i tried to remove it, but it doesnt get fully removed and after i unistalled spb mobile shell and installed it again, and its still there. how can i completly remove it?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Theres instructions in the FAQ how to remove it manually if the uninstall process didnt go through properly. After its taken off you need to uninstall Mobile Shell and then reinstall mobile shell to keep it clean.

I have a widgets only version if thats all you are after :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] BLACKE30:
im having a lil trouble, i tried with resco explorer but my trial expired half way in the process. what other registry program could it be done with.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Im pretty sure total comander is free and comes with a reasonable registry editor.
[Windows Mobile Themes] BLACKE30:
im still lost, i deleted something then tried to uninstall it from programs list an it said it cant fully be uninstalled. im not sure what im suppose to delete but looking at the faq's and do i have to delete:

"then delete your program files, spb mobile shell folder. "

if this is true should i move all of my other apps and stuff from the program files? im sorry for wasting your time but i searched everyone and i couldnt find the answer other then on here.
[Windows Mobile Themes] bogdatov:
Sorry if that had been covered already, but how do I change background in V2 now ?

A few questions I could not find in this thread:

Is it really neccesary to uninstall MS3 before using this?

Reason I ask is I recently spend a lot of time in it and I really don't want to start over again as I like it very much as it is now, but I also see some features of yours which I like in addition. Can you just adjust a few features with this cabfile or does he overwrite your excisting lifestylescreen???

Is there any possibility I put his cab file in MS3, re-install the little cab of Vostradamus (the one which you have to use after putting his skins into your MS3, so MS3 will restart) and it works? Or does the whole system crash if I do that?

Cheers,

Arnold

Wigets Only Issue With Version 3.5.2 and 3.5.1

3.5.1 is the last version that worked fine with your "Widgets only".

3.5.2 and 3.5.3 still have issues with the phone log not showing all the information except when highlighted. When highlighted the info is there but when not highlighted the information is black.

Again no problem with 3.5.1.

[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Try using the manual method to put the xml file inside the 6.5.3 qa_layouts.dat file as the widgets only dat file is for 6.5.1 so it wont work right.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
If you are installing ProPlus UltimateV2 on a clean version of MS3.5.1 then everything will be fine and you will retain your layouts.

If you install it on a newer version of Mobile Shell (3.5.2 or 3.5.3) then I think theres a problem with the font colour in the call log but everything else should work fine.

If you installing it over a version with Vostradamus's widgets in then it will overwrite the qa_layouts file and you will have to reinstall Vostradamus's set and put his xml file in qa_layouts manually.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Thanks for the info I was waiting for 3.5.3 to come out so I can update all my cabs to be compatable with the newer version.

I will get to work on them later and should start posting updates tonight.
[Windows Mobile Themes] PollPixx:
Thank you for the information, as I have the cabfiles from Vostradamus still on my storagecard I will install yours as well. It does not overwrite my layouts and widgets so I have to make all lifestyle pages again??

Edit: Just found out I have 3.5.2 so I think I will pass as there a just a few things for me which I will use (no offense of course, your skins are looking great but I am happy with most of it what I am using)...

Cheers,

Arnold

Calander

I have looked over this forum and am looking for a way to make the calander appointments at the bottom of the screen bigger, so that I can see more than just 3 upcoming appointments. Anyone know how this can be done? MSkip, do you have a way to make the box bigger? All the posts are starting to run together. Thanks.

Hi MSkip,

I just got my HD2 the day before and have expierienced that your Ultimate crashes the 3D-Carousel. What happens:

When I click on tre hidden button for the carousel (or the visible one in Professional) there appears a small picture of the screen (the size of the picture on the carousel) in he left upper corner of the screen. After about 2 or three seconds the screen turns blank and the old, original Buttons on the bottom of the screen are visible. Then MS is dead, I have to restart with shell extensions or reset.

When I turn off 3D-Acceleration of MS, everything works.

I use MS 3.5.3 and when I uninstall MSkip everything is fine.

As you have also a HD2, have you seen this also?

great add for my mobile shell. works fine and I like the more place on the bottom.

[Windows Mobile Themes] Blackvibes:
Hey MSkip,

I want to use a background image, but any image I try to use it gets really.. ****. Not as it should be, nor as I said it should. Before I installed Proplus, it pasted the image over the 3 pages, but now with 7 and no smooth scrolling you have to do it with one page. But the background still won't appear correctly.

Any suggestions ?

[Windows Mobile Themes] RobTsintas:
Full-screen digital clock (in landscape)?

MSkip,

Do you think the following might be possible?:

When travelling, I like to use my Touch Pro2 as a bedside clock by keeping it plugged in, switching to landscape and tilting the display.

The largest digital clock widgets available are full-width in portrait mode, and therefore fall well short of being full-screen (and hence easy to see without my glasses!) in landscape.

I understand that the maximum widget width would be limited to the portrait screen width, so how about having two half-clock widgets (one for the hours and one for the minutes) which are each full-portrait-screen-width. They could be arranged vertically in portrait mode, but positioned side-by-side in landscape mode to produce a full-screen clock...

Let me know if you don't follow any of this, and I'll try to mock up a screenshot.

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Themes] davidblo:
+1 for the widgets only version as well. The Omnia 2 has limited memory and your package takes up quite a bit, so a lighter version would be awesome.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ilordvader:
I sure would Like to have that Clock to Install

& use as a bed side Clock

do upload screen shot & cab

PLEASE :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] bwnotredame06:
For a Full Screen Clock try SPB Time its a pretty cool little app, that even has widgets for Mobile Shell

here's the link

http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pocketpc-software/time/
[Windows Mobile Themes] RobTsintas:
I'll give Spb Time a go - does it have a full-screen landscape digital clock? None of the screenshots show this. Well, I'll find out for myself soon enough.

Here are some very quick rough-and-ready mock-ups of what I'm after. Essentially, the two parts of the normal clock have been separated into two separate widgets, so that they can be arranged as desired...
[Windows Mobile Themes] bor1000:
mskip hello

here is the mail with permission to use naong's widgets, please include them in your next update. Thanks, bor 1000

Best skin for SPB I have used (from my point of view). The SPB have updated their version to 3.5.3 to correct some bugs when use SPB in WM 6.5.

I hope that I have chance to use your skin with SPB 3.5.3 in recent days.

Thank you.

ProPlus not there...

I have the Ultimate V2 package on my Sprint Touch Pro II and have downloaded the extra ProPlus Widgets only as well but, in this specific example, none of my ProPlus themes work for my weather things. ProPlus: Standard (small/medium), Manilla (Large), or Soft (Medium) show anything at all. Blank space. I was trying to get the larger "just" weather icon but all I have is the small "simple" option. Am I doing something wrong??

[Windows Mobile Themes] PollPixx:
well, had to hard reset my X1 this morning, so now with a fresh SPB shell on it I downloaded your skins as well. Looks awesome.

One thing you might know. I really like the missing bar in the bottom, replaced by the 2 invisible links on top. But after your skins I putted Naongs mobisense on it, which overwrote this. Is there anyway I can get it back, or do I have to uninstall everything and install first Naongs theme and yours at the end?? If so, is that possible?

MSkip's ProPlus UltimateV2 3.5.3 Released

Posted links in first post

16th January (QVGA, WQVGA, VGA, WVGA)

+ Updates UltimateV2 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 previous version

+ Moved Carousel and Menu buttons closer to the top corners so widgets can be placed in the corner and be useable
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Great job!

Maybe you could also post a "varation" cab to have the Pro Layout stripped of bar too? I remember also some other user was intersted other than me^^
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Backup your existing qa_layouts.dat file first as I havent had a chance to test this but it should be ok.

Rename the attached file to qa_layouts.dat and copy across to your mobile shell folder and soft reset for it to take affect.

Let me know if it works lol.

[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
The stripped ProLayout is working fine too, thanks!

Also the new position of the 2 top corner buttons now allows to place some shortcut widgets there:)

But I have one more question ahaha

Will you ever release a "ultra lite" version of Ultimate without any widgets? just the modified layout?
[Windows Mobile Themes] rickthecabbie:
I have to agree, I would like to see a stripped down version so that I could use just the standard widgets and a select few Vostradamus widgets.

That being said, Mskip is a God among men for the work he has already done.

Thank you, Sir
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Nevermind, I made it myself a cab to install just the Ultimate v2 layout (Life and Pro).

Do you mind if I upload it here? or I can send it to you in case you want to check it first or release it yourself.

If you can send it to me I will check it first to make sure everything is ok.

Pro or Lifestyle screens and did you follow the steps in the first post?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
If you are running Mobile Shell 3.5.3 with my previous theme then you can just copy across the attached file which will update proplus to 3.5.3 (rename to qa_layouts.dat first). If you are running an older version of Mobile Shell then you need to uninstall everything and start fresh.

[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
The only difference with the cab I made is that I didn't include your vp_menu_btn.dat

But still everything seems to be working fine... or is there some hidden problems I didn't notice yet?

The vp_menu_btn.dat file is purely a modified version of the original to add in the extra graphic in the spb menu screen. It doesnt take up any more space than the original and isnt essential but makes the screen look better.

Mskip,

Wonderful work. In the last few days I flashed about 5 different ROMs and came back to a basic WM6.5 ROM and added Mobile Shell and your ProPlus Ultimate. MS3.5 is boring without ProPlus. Thanks again.

Just one little thing. As posted by someone a while back, the landscape mode doesn't have the "plus" (add widget) or "check" (save and exit) boxes. Could you please look into that. The only way out is a soft reset. Thanks.

BTW. I sent you a pint a little while ago.
