Small Request

Hi mskip, thanks a lot for the updated vga/wvga widgets, I have a new omnia ii and the whole package just looks and feels great on it, so much better than the awful samsung touch wiz and widgets. If I might make one request, please could you make your large analog clock fully transparent, with no bakcground? I love the clock but I also like my wallpaper.:)

Basic Cab available for MS 3.5?

I love the widgets, but don't want the extra pages or reoval of launcher and contacts from bottom of screen. I used the basic pack for MS 3.0 and was wondering if there is one for MS 3.5 as well. I found that if I want the same links on the bottom of all pages I'd have to add the same widgets 7 times. I'm afraid the extra pages will also consume extra memory. My xv6800 is already pretty low on memory.

Maybe I can get the best of all worlds by installing ultimate and then changing it back to 3 or 5 pages? Can that be done? How can I allow the pages to wrap too like the elegance pack does?

Thanks

Text color

Hi, I have modified background image for all other screens (except Prof. and Lifestyle) but the text color is white and hard to read. How can I change it to black?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Which clock? Theres 2 large analogue clocks lol :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
I will sort out a Basic cab within the next 2 days :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
The text colour of what exactly?
[Windows Mobile Themes] kezling:
Sorry, if my English isn't well.

At first, thanks a lot for your work. I've used for a long time your ProPlus for MS3.0. It is really great!

So I've installed MS3.5, and I have a question:

Is this the final version for VGA (102109), or it is beta and the final version will appear later?

If it is beta, so when are you going to release the final version of ProPlus Ultimate for VGA?

Thanks one more time!
[Windows Mobile Themes] slavany:
Text color

Menus, contacts, weather, "Chose Widget", etc. Any text comes in white. Basically, all SPB Shell screens except Professional and Lifestyle.

Thanks for your help.
[Windows Mobile Themes] uniqueboy:
Ooops, I meant the xperia style one.:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
There is no 'final' version. As new widgets are developed then new versions will be brought out but it by no means a 'beta' version as all widgets to my knowledge work and the mods are stable (to the most part lol).

Having said that, the latest versions for QVGA and VGA have all the widgets that 3.0.1 had and I have no more to convert so its as final as its going to get for a little while.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Just delete the .zip from the end of the filename, copy to your spb mobile shell folder and soft reset :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Charliekpalmer:
I have the HTC Fuze with VGA screen, and I used the MSkip_ProPlus_Elegance_3.5_VGA_10509 cab. Sorry to take so long getting back to you.
[Windows Mobile Themes] wilbur-force:
Hi Mskip - excellent work as usual :)

slight problem here though - im using your new VGA ultimate and i have a problem with some of the weather widgets. It was 'partly cloudy' here in Lancashire (UK) this morning and some of the skins had no image - the 'soft' one in particular was just a blank screen :(

maybe you dont get clouds where you live :p

or maybe ive messed something up :mad:

or maybe there we some missing images from the cab ?? :D

is it just me ??
[Windows Mobile Themes] MIO1:
good day..

please how change in weather info language??

for example: sunny=slnecny

cloudy=zamraceny

Sorry my english:D:D:D

thank you
[Windows Mobile Themes] kezling:
Thanks. One more question:

Are You going to include in VGA version for the MS3.5 "Task manager", "Communication manager" and "Backlight manager" like it was in ProPlus for MS3.0? It will be very useful!

Thanks one more time!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] space77:
same problem as well. when i select the proplus manilla large icon nothing happends on my screen

sorry for my english
[Windows Mobile Themes] uniqueboy:
Thanks very much mskip for altering that clock, it looks great, I am very happy.:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
What was the question again LMAO :D

You could try the latest VGA before replying just in case that fixes your problem. Just remember to uninstall everything and put it on a fresh version of Mobile Shell.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
There is no easy way to change the weather info as they are all in a bmp image and would have to be edited manually.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
I will make a seperate cab to add those 3 panels to the carousel as they have caused probles for a few people which is why I took them out. I will do it in about an hour and post it back here.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Can you try selecting a different area just to see if another weather image shows or if its the widget.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kezling:
Thanks a lot.

And I'm waiting for "final version" of ProPlus Ultimate VGA for MS 3.5 :)

THANKS!!!!! ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] wilbur-force:
i had the 'soft' weather working fine yesterday - it just blanked out when the weather was refreshed and it was partly cloudy - still a problem tonight with partly cloudy and moon.

proplus manilla and soft have no image :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] rfarrah:
Excellent work!

Had trouble uninstalling the previous version (I know there are proper instructions on this thread somewhere), so I just installed the latest version over the previous. Now I have two of each proplus widget. :eek:

Not the end of the world, I'll fix it when I PROPERLY install the next version.

Quick question: is it possible to have different backgrounds in the carousel, professional, and other screens? Mostly I'd like the carousel background to be different than other backgrounds INSIDE the carousel - if that makes sense.

Not trying to add to Mskip's workload - just curious. Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Charliekpalmer:
Thanks

Thanks a lot! I uninstalled everything, downloaded the new cab, and reinstalled, and now EVERYTHING is appearing where it is supposed to. Great work. I noticed the buttons for the carousel and options are a lot smaller, which makes them a little more difficult to tap, but the trade-off is that it is easier to select an individual page. Thanks for all your work. I wouldn't begin to know how to create something like this.
[Windows Mobile Themes] oppossum:
Thanks very much for the VGA update.

But, is it possible to use your weather widgets with spb weather?

O.
[Windows Mobile Themes] hermann4711:
after I had do uninstall the old version of proplus ultimate (with deleting registry-entries as told in the faq-section) and new installation of ms3.5 and a new installation of the newest proplus ultimate and a soft reset I don't find integration of spb-weather anymore in spb-ms3.5.

(the integration of agenda fusion was repaired by newly installing spbmenu-plugin)

What to do?
[Windows Mobile Themes] hermann4711:
i found it by myself: the simple receipe to delete 2 registry-branches to help out of the wrong uninstallation-routine of proplus ultimate (see faq-section) isn't so simple. It deleted my spbmenu-plugin and the integration of spb-weather. I had to reinstall both :mad:

... and integration with spb-phone-suite-profile is also lost - much work for a gimmick that doesn't even work correct on 320x320 pixel screen of my treo pro :-(

... so I had to reinstall phonesuite too ... very fine.... very nice .... I love it :-(((
[Windows Mobile Themes] djsalou:
@mskip

Just one question (i asked before but did not understand whether this was answered)

"* PLUS the Bottom Menu Bar has been made invisible and editable which means the whole screen can be used to place widgets."

In my case i am not able to change the icon in the middle - "Taskmanager". Is this correct and not possible to delete or to change or might this be a problem with my installation.

I hope you understand what i mean...

again, a great tool that makes ms3.5 1000% percent better...
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
I would assume that you are talking about the Pro Screen. All my mods have been done to the lifestyle screen so that is where you can move widgets into the bottom area. The pro screen has 3 buttons at the bottom which arent removeable.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kezling:
So, what about cab that adds 3 panels (TaskManager, Wireless manager, Backlight manager) to the carousel? :o

I'm still waiting for VGA version.

Thanks!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] hermann4711:
I found a bug in proplus ultimate (MSkip_ProPlus_Ultimate_3.5_QVGA_101809.cab):

1. On lifestyle screen add a widget, link to spbmenus, choose "favorites" (see screenshot1)

2. Click on this "favorites"-button open my favorites page (screenshot2), where btw the upper-right contact-picture doesn't stay on its place

3. Now swipe from right to left: an empty contacts-favorites-screen opens (see screenshot3)

4. swipe from left to right: another "empty" contacts-favorites-screen opens (see screenshot4).

5. If I swipe now from right to left, I get back to screenshot3

6. My own favorites-contacts-screen (screenshot2) cannot be reached from this screen, I have to go back to lifestyle page (screenshot1) and choose favorites from here.

7. If I'm on professionel-screen and tap on "favorites"-button, I go direct to screenshot4.

What wrong?
[Windows Mobile Themes] enterfornone:
Exactly the same for me. I was just about to post.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Its proving a bit harder to make a generic cab for that than it was on 3.0.1 so you will have to wait a bit longer for it im afraid :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Themes] djsalou:
@MSkip

You are absolutly right... :-) i just changed to "Lifestyle-Screen" and of course i can change everything i want to...

thx
[Windows Mobile Themes] umasiva:
Hi Mskip,

Thanks a lot for the invisible link + picture without borders. Its awesome, serves my purpose very well. Also the Tiny and the small ones are really innovative. Thanks once again
[Windows Mobile Themes] dbu:
Is there a way to change the background on the lifestyle page without hitting the button in the lower right corner and selecting change background? I ask this because when I do that and choose a pic it looks all zoomed in and stupid. I tried the method you listed with the qa_fundotela(2).dat and I could onlt get the image I wanted to show in the pro screen. When I copied over a qa_fundotela2.dat the image showed up everywhere (spinning the carousel, menus, etc) but not on the lifestyle screen. Please advise.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
the qa_fundotela.dat file changes the pro screen only and the qa_fundotela2.datchanges the carousel and other screens but the lifestyle background can only be changed through the menu, change background option.

Is the zoomed picture just on your custom background images or with all images including the included backgrounds from spb?

For the lifestyle screen you need to make sure that your image is in the correct format (QVGA and VGA = 960x588, WQVGA and WVGA = 960x748).

Hi Mskip,

Sorry I was out of station for a few days. I have tried deleting the registry data. Also tried hard reset. Both these steps didn't made any difference on installing the SPB mobile shell 3.5. Even, I found a strange thing. I was not able to install even the SPB mobile shell version 3.0 on my device. I had installed this earlier successfully. I had removed all the files related to SPB mobile shell from my m/c (even from the registry). Do you think a BIOS upgrade can make it resolved?

Regards
[Windows Mobile Themes] reg66:
OH MY EFFING GOD!!! hard reset my phone last night and found 3.5 (ms 3 before), was disappointed with a couple of key areas, found your app. about to try, but seriously, you are a god amongst men!

travelling on a shoe string at the mo, but will deffo make a donation when i return! cheers dude

also, is there anyway to save/export the settings, to re-enable after a fresh rom flash etc??

and, is there any way to have it cover the whole screen - ie. completely loose the windows top bar??

thanks again man
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
What Rom do you have on your phone? Is it a stock Rom or a cooked Rom?

Sorry im not quite sure what you mean by a BIOS upgrade but if it wont let you install MS3 or 3.5 after a Hard Reset then it must have something to do with the Rom or the phone.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
As ProPlus Ultimate doesnt modify the original screen you can back up your screens and settings by going to Spb Menu, Settings, Spb Mobile Shell, Menu, Backup Settings. Then you should be able to Restore your settings after a resinstall but it would have to have the same cab installed for it to be successful. With my other packs (Ultimate and Ultimate Elegance) you can backup your screens by exporting a folder in the registry.

There are ways to remove the top taskbar but it does affect your standard Windows Mobile screens and TBH its not really worth the hasstle.
[Windows Mobile Themes] reg66:
ok cheers dude, and for the prompt reply. got it all set up now and it's the nuts, love me phone again

looked through the manual but can't see how to add, say, skype to the internet folder, or nitrogen to the media - is there anyway, then missions complete?

(and sorry if it's off topic - did try googling for a while to no avail)

(no luck at the spb forums either)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Install this cab, it will let you go into the menu of any of the Folders in the Spb Menu Screen and add Programs or Files to each one.

Have fun :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Markc2:
Is this the same thing as moving a program icon from "programs" directory into "navigation" directory, (for instance)?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
The provided cab will merely allow you to 'add' files or programs shortcuts to the 6 standard folders in spb menu (not programs or settings). It wont move anything.
[Windows Mobile Themes] dahvoo:
Lifestyle Screen not changing.

I just did a fresh install of MS3.5 and MSkip ProPlus Ultimate Elegant. Using samsung sch-i760 with WM 6.1.

I can't seem to change the Lifestyle screen. I go to menu, change background, and select a picture, but the screen still stays at the sunset picture. I can't even change them to the lifestyle background pictures included in ProPlus.

I can change the Pro background and the background for other screens (like carousel) using the qa_fundotela.dat files without problems.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
For starters this is the thread for ProPlus Ultimate and you said you are using ProPlus Ultimate Elegance so please post in the correct thread to avoid confusion :)

If you look at the Notes in the first post of the ProPlus Ultimate Elegance thread it will tell you how to change the background image on the Lifestyle Screens :rolleyes:

[UPDATE] MSkip ProPlus Ultimate for Spb Mobile Shell 3.5 (QVGA, WQVGA, VGA and WVGA)

ChangeLog:

28th October 2009 (QVGA and VGA)

+ Added new coloured picture frames

+ Added picture widget with no border to use as icons (with links) if desired (works with invisible link)

+ Added full screen picture widget with no border to use as background image

For More Info and Download Link see the first post.

[Windows Mobile Themes] rfarrah:
Is it possible to have the carousel background screen different than all of the other screens? fundotela3? :)

Also, I noticed in the pictures of several screens below your signature, on the second to the last one is picture app that looks like a stack of pictures. looks cool - what is that app, if I may ask?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Unzip the attached file and copy to your Spb Mobile Shell folder and soft reset. The fundotela3 file is just a sample and can be replaced by any image that you wish. Just rename an existing fundotela file from the ones I provided to qa_fundotela3.dat and copy accross or make your own :)

The pictures in my sig are from my Manila2D days and the panel is called HTC Footprint but I dont know if its available as a seperate cab. I keep meaning to change that pic but im always too busy LOL

Enjoy :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] uniqueboy:
Thanks for the update mskip.:) Is it necessary to un-install/re-install mobile shell and pro plus to use your new cab correctly or will it just install over the top of the existing installation? I guess it's a silly question but you are a kind man and I'm sure you won't take the piss too much.:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Nahh I wont take the piss too much :rolleyes:

As the only difference with this version is the addition of the picture frame wigdets I think its safe to just uninstall the previous ProPlus Ultimate and install the new version without doing anything to Mobile Shell. Dont bother restarting when it tells you to after uninstallation just install the new one straight away or mobile shell wont start up properly when your phone reboots.

You can also use the modded qa_layouts file in the post previous to yours if you wish to have the carousel background image different to the others.
[Windows Mobile Themes] rfarrah:
Thank you, sir. Now I'll HAVE to donate again. :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] reg66:
ahh, cheers for the cab man. top bloke - legend
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
You are welcome, hope it worked ok and thank you :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] kezling:
Dear, mskip.

Please do the cab for backlight, wireless and task managers for VGA.

And it will be very pleasefull, if it will be compatible with you ProPlus Ultimate fo MS3.5

PLEASE!!! I need them!
[Windows Mobile Themes] mdkp:
background image?

Is it possible to change the background image? I tried using the normal MS3.5 menu and nothing happened?

Is it possible to make the bottom bar larger. With these devices becoming much more finger friendly it seems to trhow back to have such a small bar that you have to use a finger nail or stylus to hit the edit button or go to the carosel.

Thx.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Try installing this cab I cant guarentee that it will work as I dont have a proper VGA device to test it on but if it doesnt you should be able to just uninstall it. I took that option out because of stability problems but give it a go and let me know how it turns out.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
I believe you are supposed to be posting in the Ultimate Elegance thread lol. I made the Ultimate Elegance theme up for people who want as much useable screen area as possible and are willing to sacrifice the finger friendlyness to get it. Once I have finished with some other things I may make a more finger friendly selector bar.

If its the Ultimate Elegance theme that you are using then try reading the notes in the first post which explains how to change the background image on the lifestyle screens.
[Windows Mobile Themes] uniqueboy:
I Did not even bother to un-install the previous version first, I just went ahead and installed the new cab, then I copied back my nice transparent clock which you kindly modified for me earlier and my fundotela.dat backgrounds and reset. and it went perfectly with no issues at all. So thanks again mskip for all your truly dedicated hard work. I think my self and others would have not bothered with mobile shell but for the support and improvements which you have given.:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] kezling:
It doesn't work :(

I have installed clean MS3.5, then ProPlusUltimate VGA and then this cab.

So, all three panels were added, but they are empty - there are no any info or buttons. I can't just close it.

Waiting for new stable version :):):)

Thanks a lot, one more time!
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Yh thats what happened on my emulator too lol. The panel backgrounds need to be made solid so the only way to do it is to modify the qa_layouts file too which means it is theme specific. I will look into it more later :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] kezling:
Ok. Thanks.

I think, that it will be GREAT, if you will make the whole CAB, where will be ProPlusUltimate + this panels. It will be more usefull to have one cab, and there won't be any problems with qa_layouts.

It was very good realised in version for MS3.0!

So, I think it will be interesting for many other users. Thanks.

And ProPlus Ultimate for VGA is great - i have been testing it for the whole evening - it's really great.

So, I'm waiting the solution for carousel panels - and I will be the happiest man in the world! Thanks! :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] jotha:
Hello MSkip,

I found a strange effect regarding your Fullscreen Picture Frame

- I place a fullscreen picture frame on the first professional layout (just "above" lifestyle)

- The picture fills the empty screen between the status bar on top und the "navigation bar" at the bottom

- so far so good

- Now I try to scroll to the left (which does not work, because there is no screen there). MS scrolls about half a screen and then goes back by itself. This is normal behaviour.

- Now comes the interesting part: The picture frame resizes itself or moves itself, so that it now also covers the navigation screen at the bottom, i.e. it does not cover it, but it "shines through" it.

- When I try to scroll again, it resizes again to the first state

- Next try: resize to second state, then again first and so on.

This only happens, when the scrolling is incomplete, when I scroll to the right, where there is a screen, and come back, the status of the frame stays the same.

Not a tragic matter, but strange. I have not tried in lifestyle, but assume it would be the same there. I use VGA on a Touch Diamond
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
The professional screen is not the same size as the lifestyle screen and so will not work correctly.

The Size of the full screen picture frame is set to the dimensions of the lifestyle screen and because there is a menubar on the pro screens the dimensions are different. This is what causes the strange behaviour you see.

I would sugest only using the full screen frame on the lifestyle panels.
[Windows Mobile Themes] space77:
i have a noob question.:o

what size i have to use for the lifestylescreen to make a fullscreen picture on my device? because when i try it with my normal size 480/800 i have on booth sites space and there you can see my regular background.

sorry for my bad english
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Are you talking about a Background image to change via the menu or a picture frame? Also are you using any mods or themes?
[Windows Mobile Themes] space77:
i mean size from the picture frame. only thing what i use is your pro plus ultimate.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jordanSTI:
+1.

Please, do this for VGA. It's very necessary! P L E A S E!!!!

Thanx!
[Windows Mobile Themes] rfarrah:
Worked perfectly and Paypal is headed your way. Thanks again!
