seems to be working fine :D only thing ive noticed so far iz the txt on the menu is a bit messed up and sometimes when i touch a selection it selects wrong thing if you no what i mean i will try upload a pic not really a problem tho:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
Uhm... I guess I never had the chance to notice it 'cause I don't have an actual hvga emulator (been using a 320x320 one to check if stuff could work on a 320x480 screen) :p

Luckily enough, a slightly wrong font size on hvga menu will not affect widgets in any way :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] GEX THE GECKO:
Aye i see what ya mean sum amazing widgets btw if you ever decide to try make sum hvga rez menubarz and need some one to test them for you im happy to help ya:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
Will keep it in mind, thanks! ;)

@ vostradamus and anyone wanting this on there HVGA device

Hi just thought you might like to no, Its only the menu-bars and analog clocks that don't work on HVGA everything else seems to be working spot on:)

The analog clocks work but not properly as the hands are not centered on the clockface............see the attached pic......
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
Uhm... I sorta guessed that already, for hvga res sorta "stretches" qvga main coordinates while hands coords are set inside the dat file itself, that should be the reason for their wrong behavior.

Will keep it in mind in case I should make some hvga versions (not planned for the time being 'cause I currently don't have enough time) :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] flamer90:
hey guys... i'm really new with all this.

can you help and post some instructions i can follow (or links with them) about how to use those themes? :D

BTW i got HTC HD2...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
Try reading the FAQs in the second post of this thread: they include plenty of usage instructions ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] rjrocks:
Can somebody guide me how can make one of my pro panel (made by MSM) slide downwards like Sir Mskip WP7 theme????
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
not that immediate I'm afraid.... xml mods apart, I think if you have both lifestyle and professional layouts active it won't work 'cause when trying to slide down/up ms would hijack your gesture and read it as a "switch from lifestyle to professional" gesture instead of you just sliding your panel.

I should test it further to be 100% sure, but I think it could behave that way (if someone knows better he's very welcome to say it lol) :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] rjrocks:
Jst wanted to give 2 of the greatest operating system looks to my mobile shell 1st one :- Android and the 2nd one:- WP7). If this is not possible then its ok Sir.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
Actually some time ago I was working at vertically scrolling panels for MsM, I kinda put that whole thing on hold mainly due to the limitations it would have implied:

- a vertically scrolling panel can't scroll also horizontally (or at least I didn't find a way to do it back then)

- the vertical scroll didn't work unless the other kind of panel was disabled in settings

as much as vertical scroll looks nice, I found the two above point kinda too restraining for my taste, so I didn't develop it further :p

EDIT: and no need to call me "Sir"... lol I'm just a normal guy like everyone else ;)

Hi Vostra

I have a little problem on my HD1 with WM6.1...

The zodiac date is still on LIBRA and not on scorpio...

It seems to me that the problem was known on your first thread but I don't find solution on this thread....On the omnia 2 of my wife ,it's scorpio...

Thanks for your help...
[Windows Mobile Themes] ironhead65:
Will do SIR!

:-)

Just wanted to show some respect!!

--Ironhead
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
uhm... is it possible that you somehow "messed around" a bit with the date on the device? That would be the most probable cause for an issue like that.

Anyway, the "reset zodiac widgets" function should fix it ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
lol thank you, Your Majesty! :D :D :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] stefaie:
Hi Vostra

I have a little problem on my HTC HD1 blackstone with wm6.1...My zodiac date widget is still on LIBRA and not on SCORPIO. I know that there was a response on that in the old thread but I don't find it.Could you help me please... My wife's OMNIA 2 is well on scorpio.

thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Maybe a stupid question but until vos gets back to you its worth asking, is your date set correctly on the device thats showing the wrong zodiac sign?

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] stefaie:
Thanks Mskip ...Yes ,the date is right ,it say 25 octobre...an idea ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] PDAras:
i currently playing around with all the new widget skins and have been having many spb shell freezes. Could it be because i activated to many widgets(just want to try them all before removing unwanted):) Usually the problems goes away with a specific widget after a soft reset, but with weather, every time I click on it, it takes me to current conditions and freezes. I can still go to start menu above but mobile shell becomes totally unresponsive. Could it be something else besides the manager?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
Uhm, that's weird, never heard of something like that...

Don't think it can depend on the number of activated widgets, unless you actived really TOO many and are now low on device memory (not sure freezes could be the symptom though... I've never activated so many as to have low device memory issues lol)

Keep in mind that when you activate a widget, MsM has to copy its files on device memory, inside mobile shell folder... and some widgets can be quite large (weather for example are amongst the largest), so if you activate a lot of them you really risk to go low on device memory, and that's bad not only for Mobile Shell but for the whole device in general.

I'd suggest not to activate too many at the same time... you can easily preview them inside the manager or even on picasa if you prefer, just pick the ones you like more and activate them.

You might wanna try deactivate all of them and see if mobile shell gets better... if it does then you really put too many of them on lol

To deactivate all of them quickly you can use the "widgets sets" functions... just save the current active widgets set and then deactivate it... it will maybe take a while, but will do it all at once :) I always use this method to "clean" my shell when I wanna start over with a new layout :p

Just curious... about how many did you activate?
[Windows Mobile Themes] PDAras:
Well, device did not seem to be running out of memory, because i could easily click on start and do something else(play game, etc), pretty much anything except go to spb home page. Sometimes there is even a glitch on the homepage where a screenshot of current page is taken and shrined to 25% of the screen in the upper left corner.

Anyway, before deactivating all the widgets, I set the panels>spb weather back to default (from greenland or maybe manila) and everything went smooth from there. I kinda figured it was more of a weather problem because I got instant freezes when clicking on the Weather widget with the default style "Big" Did not have to deactivate any widgets. BTW, i had 73 widgets activated at the time:)

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
lol shrinked screenshot of current page in the upper left corner? Sounds like a twilight zone phenomenon lmao :D

Will try to run some tests on those spb weather panel icons, I'm curios to understand what was going on for I've been using them myself for quite a long time and never had any similar issue

lol 73! That's quite a LOT :D Curious again: did you happen to check how much free device memory you had at that time?

(by the way, is your device a qvga or a vga one?)
[Windows Mobile Themes] PDAras:
Yeh, pretty strange, once I even had a red "Error" word come up in the middle of the screen.

At the time I had about 30% free ram on my vga htc Touch Diamond. Using donsalaris [WWE] Windows Mobile 6.5 Clean Basic ROM [SENSE 2.1]
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
wasn't talking about ram :) My doubt was about free device (storage) memory: I thought that maybe you tried to activate something large when there was not enough free device memory to fit the needed files and then the shell could have acted weird/crashed when trying to use those non present files.

I still have the same doubt, maybe more now that I know you're on a touch diamond: despite its 4Gb internal storage, it's a vga device with a not too large device memory, and vga widgets files can be quite large, so maybe that could have been the case :)

I'm used to be careful how much stuff I activate on the diamond 'cause my wife has one :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] gauravbaadshah:
Full Backup restore not working

When I tap on Full Backup Restore I get an error as is seen in the screenshot attached.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jotha:
The red error is most definitely a result of running out of device memory. I always have it on my sons Touch Diamond, when device memory runs out. The Touch Diamond with non-tweaked ROMs is a ***** with device memory. My son runs out of memory much earlier as 70 activated widgets and there is a rather good rom on it (used to be my phone in the past :p). If MSM cannot install the files it needs during activating a widget, the entries in the registry are already there but the graphics data cannot be loaded completely (because of the lack of device mem) Therefore you can choose it, but the shell does not find necessary data to display the graphics.

Please stay away from activating too many widgets, especially weather and battery widgets. And too many can on a TD already be 3 of each of those two categories, if they have elaborate graphics.

The 25% small Screen-Cap in a corner results most probably from a problem with 3D-Acceleration. I had that when I still used MSkips Mods on the TD. He at one time had a version that didn't run smooth when 3D-Acceleration was turned on in Mobile Shell and resulted in freezes with that small screen in a corner. Try to disable 3D-Acceleration on the Touch Diamond or try to get another 3D-Graphics driver (they used to be available on XDA).
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
looks like when I built the cab I forgot to include a file :p

Fixed version uploaded, sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for pointing it out ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] dansia47:
What and where is the "invisible" widget set?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
That name was just an example, such a widget set definition is not really included with MsM :p

Wanting to create it though, it could include all the invisible link widgets in all their sizes, but I don't know if creating such a set definition could make sense: I think most users would prefer to activate invisible links only the size they really need, not all of them at the same time ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] dansia47:
Thanks for answering. Now my question is: there's any invisible link in MsM? If so, where is it? How can I use it?

Edit: I think "is there" would be better than "there's" in a question. Am I right?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
Sure there is, and more than one :)

You can find them inside "links1" category (normal sized invisible links, with or without text) and inside "links3" category (huge sized and "hub" sized)

This makes me think that I'd better add them somehow to picasa gallery, to make it easier for everyone looking up in which category they can be found :p

I need to think of what picture to use though, lol, not so immediate with an "invisible" thing :D

Yep, "is there" should be better (if I'm not mistaken at least: english is not my native language) :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] dansia47:
Fine, I found them. Now I have to learn how use them.

I know your native language is the same of mine
[Windows Mobile Themes] jotha:
:eek: Doesn't exist, wanted to write "Transparency" :p. Will change text in FAQ later.

Edit: You two were faster than me.:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
Most common purpose for them is for example to make a status widget open something else than the default application. I've seen several users using such a trick to have Vito SMS open when clicking on the sms widget... just by placing an invisible link to Vito SMS over it ;)

lol didn't realise it, sorry :p I guess I should have already known (think you told me already some time ago), but it's hard to keep track of it without the flag showing up with your posts :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] dansia47:
Well! You're doing a great and fine work!

I'll try them. I would like to place an invisible link to phone application over the analog clock.

In the meantime I updated my user profile.

Edit: I did it. Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
much more comfortable to remember now lol :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] dansia47:
Now that I've understood how to use invisible links, I agree with you: there is no reason to create a widget set for them.

In my opinion, it would be usefull and more understandable if picasa gallery and the MsM preview had the same items of the widgets list, with the same names. For invisible widgets you could simply use an image with the text "invisible", while for those not having yet an image you could add a picture with the text "not avalaible" (or similar).
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
no problem on picasa, I think I'll add them :)

I'd rather avoid it in MsM though: using disk space, even if it's just on memory card, for pictures which would not really show anything would be sort of a waste :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
I guess you missed my reply to your previous post :p

Hi. I want to install MSM for the first time and have read the faq in post #2 but still have the following questions. I'd appreciate it if you could clarify me.

1. The faq said I need the file "MSM Full widgets library (VGA).wzg" but I couldn't find it in your folder, only thing I find that comes close to it is "MsM Full Library (VGA).wzg". Do you mean this file instead?

2. If I have the file "MsM Full Library (VGA).wzg", do I still need to download the file "MsM Base Widgets Library (VGA).wzg" in the "Incremental VGA Widgets Libraries" folder?

3. If I want a complete and up-to-date set of widgets, I have to download the files "MsM Base Widgets Library (VGA).wzg" and "MsM Widgets Library 20100929 (VGA).wzg" right? What about the file "MsM Full Library (VGA).wzg"?

3. To install MSM, I put all the wzg files I need and the cab file in the same folder in Storage Card and run the cab file, is this correct?

Thanks. Btw my device is HD2.
[Windows Mobile Themes] iorya984:
Hi Vos!

One question: is there any chance to use MSM and, at the same time, use the weather icons and pogram of the HTC Sense? Because i love that weathers animation in the home screen and the clear and beauty icons. Thank you :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
Hi there, and welcome to the wonderful world of MsM... ok, now I'm done sounding like an ugly 80's tv show lmao :D

Yep, that's the one you're looking for. In the beginning it was named "full widgets library" 'cause it contained only widgets, then later on I put everything inside of it (widgets, menubars, adv menubars and so on) so I changed its name :)

Nope, if you download the full library you won't need the base one 'cause the full one contains everything ever released. Only things that are not included in the full library are the pic-sets, 'cause it would have made the library file too large and not too many users are using them.

For a complete up to date set you only need the full library. :)

Later on, if I'll release more libraries, you will have the option of download only the incremental libraries released AFTER the date of your full library download

First you run the cab, and it will install the main app.

Then, from inside MsM itself, you will use the "import library" function to import the wzg file(s) :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
I'm afraid that's not possible.... mobile shell does not support animated widgets :(

Maybe mobile shell 5 will.... if it will ever be released :p

ITA: Ciao, potresti fare una BARRA SOTTILE con 4-5 bottoni personalizzabili ma con le icone delle funzioni e non con i numeri come la barra ButtonsNumbers?

Tipo la tua SPB STYLE ma sottile.

Con le icone personalizzabili poi sarebbe perfetto!

ENG: Hi, you can make a THIN MENU BAR with 4 or 5 customizable buttons but with the icons of the functions and not with numbers as the ButtonsNumbers menu bar?

Such as your SPB STYLE but thin.

With the customizable icons it would be perfect!

:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
ITA

Ciao :)

Mi spiace, ma temo di non poterlo fare. I pulsanti personalizzabili che visualizzano le icone prendono le icone dalle grafiche di mobile shell, che sono della misura che vedi.... se sostituisco le grafiche con delle versioni rimpicciolite, poi anche tutto il resto della shell si incasinerebbe per il cambio di misure delle icone.

ENG

Hi there :)

I'm sorry but I'm afraid I can't do that. Customizable buttons which shows icons get those icons from mobile shell graphics, and they are just that size.... should I change those graphics with smaller versions, the rest of mobile shell would get messed up due to that icon size change
[Windows Mobile Themes] micromacro:
ITA:

Le tue THIN e THIN2 hanno le icone (e non i numeri), ma non si può scegliere quali bottoni avere p.e. alla prima, seconda, terza,... posizione.

Puoi modificare almeno quelle e permettere di scegliere i bottoni come accade per ButtonNumbers o Spb Style?

In pratica sarebbe utile un mix tra la ButtonNumbers/Spb Style e le Thin: icone delle thin e possibilità di scelta della ButtonNumbers/Spb Style.

Anche questo non è possibile?

ENG:

Your two THIN and THIN2 BAR have the icons (not numbers), but it is not possible to choose wath buttons to have at position 1, 2, 3....

Can you modify at least those and can you allow to choose the buttons such as for ButtonsNumbers/Spb Style BAR?

Therefore it would be useful a mix among ButtonNumbers/Spb Style Bar and Thin Bars: icons from thin bars and customizability of ButtonsNumers/SPB STYLE.

Also this is impossible?

Is there the possibility to add a link in a bar menu toward the new created panels?

Among the customizable bars I see only the link toward standard Lifestyle and Professional panels.

:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
ITA

Sì, anche quello non è possibile.... le thin e thin2 hanno le icone proprio perchè, non essendo personalizzabili, ho "integrato" le icone fatte a mano da me nella grafica della barra invece che farle prendere da mobile shell, cosa che invece è obbligatoria se è l'utente a scegliere le funzioni dei pulsanti

ENG

Yep, that's not possible too.... thin and thin2 have icons 'cause, being not customizable, I "integrated" my hand-made icons in the menubar graphics instead of reading them from mobile shell graphics, which is mandatory if the user is to choose the functions for the buttons

ITA

Sì certo: i pannelli creati dall'utente dovrebbero essere selezionabili come destinazione dei pulsanti.... se non ricordo male stanno in fondo alla lista

ENG

Yes, sure: user defined panels should be selectable as targets for the buttons.... if I remember well they should be at the bottom of the list

Uhm.... è possibile che tu abbia una versione non aggiornata di MsM? I pannelli definiti dall'utente sono selezionabili come destinazione dei pulsanti a partire dalla versione 5.04 :confused:

ENG

Uhm... is it possible that you have a non-updated version of MsM? User defined panels are selectable as buttons targets since version 5.04 :confused:

I just tried, and I confirm it should work: when choosing the function for a button they are at the bottom of the list, after standard mobile shell panels

MsM 5.07 - 30 Jul 2010

Windows Mobile 6.1 pro

HTC Touch PRO (stock rom ita no brand)

No personal panels shown, only Professional Home and Lifestyle Home.

I also restored XML, from Libraries menu, but nothing has changed.

:confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vostradamus:
A possibly dumb question: do you have additional pro or lifestyle panels? :confused: (lol I know this question is stupid, I just can't imagine why it's not working as it should)

xml restore has nothing to do with additional panels, it's only for widgets, no use in restoring it (no harm done anyway)

Let's try and see what's happening....

- when you're selecting the function for a button, what do you see after the standard mobile shell panels? There should be a "<--" (meaning "go back")

right after

the panel names, no blank lines. Theoretically, user defined panels should be before that "<--" entry

- Assuming you already defined one or more additional panels, how did you name them?

- Have you already tried reinstalling MsM?

- Could you send me the file named "AdvMenubarChange.mscr" you have in "tools" subfolder inside MsM installation folder?
