Hi MSkip,

first of all, THANK YOU for this great job !!!

Now my Problem...there seems to be a border on the bottom. If i wipe to the Professional screen and back to the lifestyle it`s gone.

My resolution is 240x400 (Omnia) MS Version 3.5.1 Build 9687. Is that a known problem, or do you have a solution for that ?

THANKS for helping !!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
The problem is caused by your rom and not by mobile shell. I believe you are running a WM6.5 rom with a smaller TaskBar at the top. I dont think there is any fix for it but im not certain. If you dont like it then the only thing I can sugest is Ultimate Elegance which has a very small page selector bar at the bottom which hides the blank space.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Criss1272:
You are right, i also think that`s the problem...THANK`s for your answer !

How did u get the 3 Icons at the very bottom ?

SPB / (something)/ Contacts

Can we get more Icon in that Bottom row ? How ?

Please
[Windows Mobile Themes] Batistian:
By installing MSkip ProPlus Ultimate, you can put as many icons/widgets as you like.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ilordvader:
I did install MSkip Pro

Dont how to do the setting to get more Tabs on bottom

Before i had 2 Icons

after Installing this software

I dont see any Taps

as u see in pic

Please help :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] jotha:
@ilordvader:

Thats what its all about :-)

You can put whatever you want in the area at the bottom.

1 Tab, 2 Tabs and so on. Simply whatever you want. Just create a link and drag it to the bottom.

Where is the problem?
[Windows Mobile Themes] rfarrah:
That's the idea; you can put whatever widgets you want in that area. Tap the lower right hand tab to choose your widgets. Then, after the widget is on the screen, press the widget for more options, such as change skin (appearance) of that widget. When you're happy with it, drag it to where you want it on your screen.

Hope this helps.

Any Response MSkip, I understand that maybe the tf3d weather widget just may not be possible ?

Weather Widget

Thanks for all your hard work! I've read most of the posts and found that there was an issue with the weather widgets not showing up. That's my issue. I have a stock AT&T Tilt. Just installed MS 3.5 and the newest ProPlus Ultimate and none of the ProPlus options work. The regular "professional" or "medium" works, but not the ones that I want to use. I uninstalled all packs and MS3.5 and reinstalled but still not there. I even tried ProPlus Elegance and get the same thing.

Thanks for the help
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Yes you should really get a new card haha ;)

Sorry its just not possible to get any of the Manilla panels onto Mobile Shell including the weather panel. Its also not possible to have animated weather images such as you get on TF3D.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
You need to install the latest version of Mobile Shell from the spb site (latest version is 3.5.1, Build 9687) before you install any of my current themes.

[VARIATION] TOTALLY EMPTY BOTTOM AREA ON PROPLUS ULTIMATE

If you are using the latest ProPlus Ultimate for MS 3.5.1 QVGA or VGA

Unzip the QVGA file or the VGA file and copy the the 3 files across to your spb mobile shell folder, then soft reset and it will delete the carousel and menu buttons giving you a FULL editeable screen to put whatever you want at the bottom. Just hold on a blank area of the screen to put it in edit mode to add and move widgets. Hold on an existing widget to change skins. You will still have the done and add buttons in edit mode so everything will still work as it should.

If you need to get the menu button back to change lifestyle background image then unzip the QVGA file or the VGA file and copy the the 3 files across to your spb mobile shell folder, then soft reset and it will bring back the original buttons.

-------------------

Adding a fake MenuBar at the bottom to place widgets on

(QVGA only for now)

Delete the .zip from the end of the attached file and copy it across to your spb mobile shell folder. Then simply add a Backing Panel and change its skin to Panel Small (Black) and move it to the bottom of the screen. You can then place upto 6 small size shortcuts at the bottom and make your own custom menubar :)

Note: If you already use the small black backing panel then just rename it to one of the other colours (blue, grey, metal or red).

See screenshots for an example.

Thank you for very pack.

But maybe you've got it in the version for i780 screen?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Either thats a very bad translation or you are posting in the wrong thread because I really dont understand what you mean, sorry.

EDIT: ok looked up the samsung i780 spec lol sorry ProPlus isnt available for 320x320 devices as my emulator doesnt work properly with that resolution so its very hard to convert.

Weather Widget

Thanks that did it. Is there any way to add a "suspend" button? There is a soft reset but no suspend. SPB has it in Pocket Plus, but not in MS? I thought I could search for it but can't find it.

Thanks again
[Windows Mobile Themes] conum:
So sad that your emulator doesn't work well with 320x320 ...

Maybe, I have a hint:

If you have constructed a theme that works in landscape for 240x320 (qvga), why don't you use this landscape dimensions (320px) for portrait and landscape? Or does this not work?

:confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] ilordvader:
Thanks Bro

that really help :)

did not know we could drag it on the bottom :)

Also having issues with weather

when i connect my Cell to laptop

to sync contacts or install software

My weather shows N/A :(

then i need to rest my device to get weather

Anyone knows why ?

or is there a setting ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
You could install a program called XDA Shutdown by Dave Shaw and then put a shortcut to it on your screen. It will then give you the options to shutdown the phone, put it in sleep mode, reset it or turn the screen off.

Works well.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Well for starters I need to know exactly what files a SQ320 device uses and without that knowledge I have no idea what I need to edit. My VGA and QVGA emulator installs the correct files but my SQ320 emulator just installs everything lol.

If someone can get me a screenshot of the spb mobile shell folder then I will have something to work with.

One thing you could also do is install the QVGA widgets only pack that I released and let me know if the widgets are the right size for your device. I assume they should be as the SQ320 devices are just a wide QVGA device.

How to change Background

When I click on option to change background wallpaper

it has a square box &

it streches it out & looks Ugly

how to set the full pic we have as wallpaper

is there a setting i need to do ?

Please

I have given screen shot of it
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
I assume you have a WVGA device so if you have access to an image editor then make a new image (size 960x748) and paste your desired image in the left half. Save it as a jog and copy it back to your spb mobile shell folder. Then select it again from the change wallpaper menu and it should look fine.

Thanks

that is sad SPB mobile shell makes it so difficult to change wallpaper

night time weather widgets?

am i missing something or is there no night time weather widgets? cuz at night it shows the sun still... just wondering so i can stop looking and trying new things lol it would be cool to have a big moon at night...

There was a clock? :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
EDIT: maybe I made some mess before... I uninstalled everything (SPB ms included) and reinstalled everything and now it's working fine.

I have a question btw^^

I tried to play a bit with the MenuBar3Lifestyle.xml

I was trying to see if it's possible to make the "menu" (change background, show today, add widget, etc) button so small that I could leave it on the screen somewhere^^ or maybe assign it a custom icon and leave it in a big size to fit the screen theme. Where is the icon for the "menu" button? (or is it a lot more complex than that?)

So anyway, not being able myself to do the above^^, I just removed both buttons in the Portrait Layout and left them available in the Landscape Layout (which I'll never use too unless SPB make it indipendent from the Portrait one), so I could still easly change background and access the caruresl (even if it's quite useless for me)
[Windows Mobile Themes] ilordvader:
bwnotredame06 was very kind & Explained me - HERE

I attached 2 screen shots

& would like to request :-

the Clear Clocks with RED & BLACK digits

so can see better in white backgrounds

& in Medium Size, if Possible

Also the weather Digits in RED & BLACK

So can see better

These are just suggestions & request

if you can add in your software

Flip clock without ProPlus

Hi guys out there!

I have a simple question after studying this thread so far for hours:

Is it possible to get the flip clock without installing the whole ProPlus package on my device?

The background:

1.) After installing the ProPlus package for testing, I don't like the backgrounds which are by default changed. On the other hand, there are more possibilities for personalization, but which I won't really need.

2.) So I decided to install MS over again and my screens appear as before. OK.

3.) Now - concerning the clock question - I have some files in the SPB folder, which are from the ProPlus package and the different clock options are shown in the skin options menü within MS after the new installation. But when I select one of the ProPlus clocks, there is no preview of them and they do not show up on the screen. Only the standard versions of the clocks from MS are working.

4.) If anybody asks for what reasons I installed ProPlus when I don't need the features: it's only the flip clocks! But I also have another problem: the memory! RAM and ROM are very very limited on my HTC Artemis (even MS runs extremely smoothly :cool:) and I sometimes get some warnings or errors from other apps when installing the whole ProPlus package.

Therefore I wanted to ask if somebody knows which files I have to copy from the ProPlus installation (which I backed up to my PC before uninstalling) and what registry keys I have to activate/modify to get the flip clocks working without ProPlus? Can someone (or MSkip :cool:) can give me any advice on this?

Sorry for the long post! :(

I hope you understand my problem...

Thanks for advice. This is really a great forum!

Your application are superB :)

Thanks

But I have one problem - how I can change the background after installing your app to Totally Blank Buttom Area?
[Windows Mobile Themes] bwnotredame06:
for lifestyle or professional screens ? For LS style you can change it to anything you want or one of the included BackGrounds, for professional there is a Black BG (which i use) on the ProPlus download section download the Fundotela_BackGrounds zip, inside are different BGs find the one you want i.e "qa_fundotela_black" then delete the name off of the file to make it "qa_fundotela" copy to the My Device>Program Files>Spb Mobile Shell choose to overwrite excisting. Soft reset and you're ready to go. So now go here https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=190637 and buy mSkip a beer !

[Windows Mobile Themes] BGrosse:
That's what I read so far, right. Thanks for confirmation!

But my goal is (due to the memory problems) NOT to have the ProPlus package installed in any way. I just want to have the couple of files which are needed for the different Flip style clocks (diamond and others) and the modifications needed to get them working within a fresh MS standard installation. I have all the .dat files from backing up a copy of the MS folder on my device before uninstalling everything, but only copying the .dat files back again after a fresh SM installation does not help getting the flip clocks working. THAT is my problem...

Sorry for my bad english, guys! If anybody needs further information, please ask! This is a really great forum and SM a great product. And MSkip has made a great addition to this, although I don't need it completely! If memory was not my primary problem, I would have installed the whole ProPlus. But that's not an option so far. So please help me out here... :rolleyes:

Best regards,

Burkhard
[Windows Mobile Themes] bwnotredame06:
Install it on your memory card, works fine.

I can't tell you how awesome this app is and all the different things you can do with it. if it wasn't free i would have paid for it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] catman51:
Wow, didn't realize you could put it on a card. Will have to try that.
[Windows Mobile Themes] BGrosse:
He didn't let me install it in the memory card. Maybe b/c MS is installed in the main memory. And MS didn't let me choose where to install... :confused:

So, I stuck with it. But remember: It's not only about ROM for the program itself. It's about RAM, too. The more things to load, the more RAM will be consumed. That's why I only want the clock itself (lets say the diamond clear). All other things I don't need at the moment.

Any advice for installing the flip clocks manually? MSkip...? :confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
As I have explained before you cant. You will have to copy the original files back to reenable the menu button, change the background and then copy the Totally Blank files back. You will have to do this everytime you want to change the lifestyle screen.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
What resolution? I will make a "lite" version of proplus Ultimate tomorrow with a few of the smaller filesize widgets such as the diamond clocks, analogue clocks, link widgets and a few other things.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Quick question:

Do people who use ProPLus Ultimate like the background images at the bottom behind the carousel and menu buttons, or would you rather they was taken off so that just the 2 buttons are at the bottom with no background image. I was looking at a few peoples screenshots and thought if they are taken out you could fit more at the bottom without it looking odd.

Feeback is important as its you that use it so the majority will make the decision whether the button images stay or go :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] jpen:
how about night weather widgets? am i missing something cuz i would like a moon at night instead of the sun lol
[Windows Mobile Themes] wickedbird98:
id like 2 see it without or maybe reduced in size although im currently happy witb the totally blank bottom
[Windows Mobile Themes] BGrosse:
It's simple QVGA (240x320)... The Artemis is an old mobile device... :D

A "light" version just with some fonts and the clocks would be highly recommended for those people like me (with less memory) and also for that ones, which don't need all the other stuff! 100 thumbs up! :cool:

Not only due to my memory problems I prefer a more simple and minimalistic but functional user interface with a gentle and timeless view. As I noticed the professional UI of MS at their website, my first thought was "Woow! That's it!" :p

So my vote is: No background images please! Or for an alternative: make it configurable!

Thanks for further advice on integrating the flip clocks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
What about my idea of complitely stripped in Portrait while still having the buttons in Landscape?

So you can easily access the option to change the background too.

Anyway, about your question, my preference goes to the image taken off even if you leave the buttons there. (anyway for myself I'll use it stripped in Portait)
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
Actually you still can change the background.

You have to place a frame image widget first; then tap on it to activate the slideshow and tap on it again to bring the commands on the screen.

Then tap the right menu button, go to Open file (you can now go to SPB folder or any other folder) and select the image you wish. Then tap on Set as background.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
God thats a bit of a long workaround I think its quicker to copy the original files back :p

But I guess its an option if you dont want to keep copying things back and forth :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
I think I will put the buttons back in the landscape mode but its not much good for people who dont have screen rotation ;) Ohh well who cares about them HAHA :p JOKEE!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] tacchan23:
yes, while writing it I was thinking myself it's a bit too long ahaha

but for me still better than change the files everytime (couse usually I alwyas forget/mistakes something while doing it:p)

I first started to read anything related to PPC 3 months ago (when I bought one for the first time in my life ahah)... I didn't know that some ppc can't rotate screen sorry^^

Anyway the more I look at my screen in landscape with no image behind the 2 buttons, the more I like it:) hope other users will agree:)

EDIT: ah, one question too... I'd like to also strip my Pro layout. Is that possible? is the same procedure as for the Lifestyle layout? if so and if you can point me to the right .xml file I can do it myself and not bother you more^^

EDIT2: I tought I was able to do it, but while the Pro bottom bar area is blank it still doesn't allow to move widgets there:P

I have no idea why it wouldnt display the night time image. Try a standard weather widget thats supplied with Mobile Shell to see if that works as it should. If it does then maybe theres something wrong with my weather widgets.
