Seems only solution for the moment is to manually edit the XML file inside va_clock_big.dat <Point Name="FaceCenter" X="143" Y="143"/>

X=143 is the horizontal position of face's center. You could try 141 to move the center further to the left. Then save and re-zip va_clock_big.dat Solution suggested by the creator of the clock faces, Vernam.

[TUTORIAL] Custom Background Image on CLEAN VERSION ONLY!! of Mobile Shell 3.5 (All Resolutions)

I have made this as easy as possible. Only use if you have a CLEAN VERSION of Mobile Shell 3.5 with NO skins, cabs or addon packs installed. If you have modded MS3.5 in ANY WAY you will lose all your mods when the qa_layouts file is overwritten.

1. Download the attached file and unzip to a new folder.

2. Rename 1 of the fundotela files to qa_fundotela.dat depending on your resolution (QVGA and WQVGA rename the qvga file, VGA and WVGA rename the vga file).

3. Rename 1 of the qa_layouts files to qa_layouts.dat depending on which screens you want a custom background image on (the files are pretty self explanatory)

4. Copy the 2 files you renamed (qa_layouts.dat and qa_fundotela.dat) to your device, program files, spb mobile shell folder.

5. Soft reset and check out your new background.

The qa_fundotela file is merely a template to get it working. You can use the instructions in the ReadMe.txt file included to make your own custom background file.

Enjoy :D

I have followed your steps. but, i can't get it work when i using my own backgroud. it is working fine if i used the template background that u gave me. :confused::confused:

Hi,

I just installed Sence 3.5 and it looks great! However, I messed up the menubar at the bottom of the screen. The default + sign at the left has disappeared while I was trying to change the function of the button with shellextension.

How to restore these original settings?

And I think I'm not fully using al features of sence, because the only change I noticed is the menubar. What else does sence do? Is there a manual or something?

Thnx in advance, and please don't mind my english :P

This is an English speaking forum, please post in English.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Please descibe the steps you went through to put your own background files in the fundotela file.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Reinstall Sense or extract the qa_layouts.dat file from the cab and copy it back onto your device in the spb mobile shell folder. Dont forget to soft reset after.

No manual haha :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] alexwai:
1. Create a new folder called test and put qa_fundotela.dat in the folder.

2. unzip qa_fundotela.dat with the password "b0fm18zq".

3. then, i saw 3 files in test folder now.

4. Move the 2 new background files that i made into test folder, it will replace the existing Background.bmp and BackgroundL.bmp.

5. Select these 3 files in the test folder, right click and select "Add to archive..", please not that i am using WinRar. Set the password before zip the file.

6. After that, the new zip file named test.rar will be created.

7. Renamed the test.rar to qa_fundotela.dat and put into my device.

These are the steps. :confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] maardiweb:
Thnx for your quick reply!

How should I be able to extract that file from the cab? I can open the file with WinRAR, but the specific file is not inside?

Anyway, the buttons are back :), but how can I change their link now? And what other things does sence do exept changing the menu?

Sorry I'm new to this :)

Mskip's ProPlus Ultimate Elegance Teaser

First screenshot for a Hybrid of ProPlus Ultimate and ProPlus Elegance.

I have been asked by quite a few people to do this so here it is. Combining the continuous scrolling and selectable pages from Elegance while keeping the maximum screen space to use for widgets. The carousel and menu buttons have been made very small and put on the screen selector bar so that only 12 pixels has been taken from the bottom.

The menubar and carousel buttons may be hard to press especially if your phone has a bezel round the screen but this has been made for maximum screen size and if your fingers cant get into the corner then a stylus or pen lid will suffice in setting up the widgets.

Let me know what you think and if theres enough interest I will post QVGA version tonight :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
ALOT of people have had problems with WinRar especially in compressing files back up. Use Winzip if you can as it works. If you cant use winzip then send me the bmp files and I will create the fundotela file for you.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
I think this really looks good! I really think I'll use this hibrid version:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Skins dont usually do any more than change the menubar or give you more widgets. I think all the new sense widgets are in the digital clock group but I might be wrong. If you add a widget and then goto menu, change skin you will be able to see if any new widgets have been added. In all my packs the new widgets are in the specific groups to make it easier to find.

As for changing the link I have never used Sense so you would have to ask in the originators forum.
[Windows Mobile Themes] AlienHairball:
YES PLEASE! *ahem* Sorry I got carried away there. :D

I would love this. I never use the carousel and the only time I really need the menu button is for changing the background - editing the layout can be done by tap-and-holding any widget on the screen. I would truly love more screen real estate.

EDIT: of course... I have a VGA device so I'll have to wait a bit longer I figure. ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] flahn:
YES, I've been waiting for a other/smaller menubar for so long... Thank you very much!

Hello,

Is it possible to have the background image on the taskar ?

Backgroung I think is 748 pixels, how can I put the 52 other pixels from an 800 on the taskbar ?

[Windows Mobile Themes] abumhmmd1:
Thats great mskip , you'll combine the advantage of the two widgets in one .

I'm expecting VGA of it .....
[Windows Mobile Themes] aypee3:
i definitely suggest that mskip should come out with the qvga version as this becomes a perfect shell.

the menubar and carousel buttons would be easily accessed by the right and the left soft keys,i guess.

lets hope it arrives soon.

Just trying to make the carousel and menu image a bit better which is hard considering the size of it lol.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Im not quite sure I understand you. It is the Ultimate version with page selection and continuous scrolling. More space than Ultimate too since I have put the carousel and menu on the bottom bar.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Yh it should fill that little space at the bottom nicely :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] dustinb17:
Is it possible to add either of those buttons in you "SPB Menus" I'm guessing not and I imagine you've already thought about it. But it would be nice to add them somewhere other than the menu bar.

Regardless, I am STOKED that you're working on this project and can't wait to give it a shot if/when it's released.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
It will still work fine on a clean version or one with a different pack on but there just wont be a 9th icon since I added it in for the spb menu links. The modified panel images will still show up though :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Its impossible to add the menu button or the carousel to the Spb Menus Folder to be added as widgets. The menu button NEEDS to be there for changing backgrounds if nothing else. The carousel can be accessed via the pro screen but it balances the menu button.

[Windows Mobile Themes] dansia47:
Sorry for my bad english. What I wanted to say is that i would appreciate a page selection (same position as in the Elegance version) in the Ultimate version, without reducing the size of the carousel and menu buttons. I hope that is more understatable.

Put some color on your fonts!

Available colors

:

- White (Default, it comes with the standard MS 3.5 installation)

- Black (added)

- Blue (added)

- Cyan (added)

- Green (added)

- Red (added)

- Yellow (added)

Skins/Widgets modded with the above new colors

:

- Operator Widget, all three alignment

- Current Date Widget, both layouts

- Birthdays Widget, small, large and the new "line" format (same shape/size as small current date widget)

- New Wide Pro Digital Clock, much like Mskip's "Modern Plus", but center-aligned and wider (240 pixels) to cover the whole width on qvga/wqvga devices (The colored font is the date font, not the clock digits, too lazy to work on digits' graphic at the moment :p )

- Weather Widget (both internal and spbWeather), simple and professional layouts

Credits for the "line" format of the birthdays widget goes to matthewhypolite, I just modified it to be a skin

of the already existing widget instead of a widget on its own, and added the different colors.

Installation instructions included in a txt file inside the zip.

Enjoy :D

People were complaining about the CURRENT CONDITIONS part of the widget not having data. Why do you need a phone to tell you what the current weather conditions are at your current location?
[Windows Mobile Themes] AlienHairball:
For anyone who doesn't get the need for current weather conditions I can answer that one. I work in an office building and it's not at all easy to tell how warm or cold it is outside and it's very good to know if I need to bring a jacket or not before getting from my office down and out of the building. :)

Tips

There is another easy way to get thousands of high quality backgrounds since wallpapers created for Windows desktops work very well with SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 .

For best results use 1280x1024 wallpapers with widescreen devices(480x800, 240x400) and 1280x800 with regular screen devices (480x640, 240x320).

You can also create your own background. SPB Mobile Shell can use almost any picture as a background. To achieve best and most predictable results use the following picture sizes:

Devices with wide screen (480x800, 240x400): 960x748 .

Devices with regular screens (480x640, 240x320): 960x588 .​

Few Questions I had posted to the old thread for MS 3.5

I appreciate your help in answering these:

1) Still no reminders widget??

Am I mistaken? Is there still no reminders widget? It was THE most requested widget on the SPB forums. I really hate having to tap the little bell in the title bar to have a meeting reminder displayed. All I wanted was a new widget with a counter that showed how many active reminders I had, then when tapping it it would show the reminders where I could then snooze or dismiss them. Am I correct that there still is no such widget / function?

If MS does not do this still, do any of you know how I can force the reminders to stay open until I snooze or dismiss them? Is there a mortscript possibly to do this. I came really close to coding up an indicator using homescreen ++, but abandoned it when moving to MS. There is too much for me to like here. The reminder widget would make it just about perfect.

2) 3D Mail display does not match e-mail accounts

I like the new 3D mail display, but I think I may need to stick with the standard mail client. I have two icons on my screen, one for yahoo and the other for active sync. Unfortunately when I use the 3d view for the messages it always goes back to the same account I viewed regardless of which icon I tap. With the standard mail client it goes to the one that corresponds to the icon tapped. Is there a way around this?

I may actually need to go back to 3.01 anyway since the battery drain does seem fairly severe.

Thanks,

Thanks,

John

Regarding the 3D viewer; what I didn't notice the first couple of times is that there is a drop down up at the top that lets you choose between mail accounts/sms. I'm in the same boat as you in that I have a gmail account and an exchange account...but that workaround is acceptable to me.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jraggio:
I noticed that too, but prefer the one tap if possible. I also noticed that the 3d takes a little bit longer to open than the regular one.

untrue,

it works on mine, i had the default action for the mail button changed to 3dView and it goes to Exchange, Gmail, or SMS depending on which one arrived. I don't remember doing anything special with it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Crackity Jones:
So, if I understand it correctly, you’re having a pop at me for pointing out the shortcomings of a widget, rather than the developers of the software. I didn’t comment as to whether I need a phone to tell me current conditions. If you bothered to read the 3.0.1 thread, you would see that this is a feature that has been frequently requested.

Just how is looking out of the window going to tell me the wind direction and speed, air pressure, humidity and dew point? How on earth do you know that I don’t need this information?

To take your logic to the extreme, why do you need a calculator on your phone – surely that’s what a paper, pencil and a decent secondary education is for. Don’t bother with Sat Nav software, you could always get out and ask the way.

Some people should really engage their brain before going anywhere near a keyboard. Where is the rolly eyes emoticon when you need it?
[Windows Mobile Themes] jucytec:
sounds like yer you don't have a Gsensor... OR... it is not working correctly. u should have 2 settings, tile view and gsensor... if MS detects it that is...

Its cool for about 2 min. I turned mine off... it's not good at all.
