3 Questions:

1:

When I swipe to my second hub (current contact), then swipe back, I always end up on 4 (Home). Is this intentional?

If so, I'll probably eliminate my second hub and put my contacts on one of the 7 pages (as you suggested).

2:

I am using the thicker (with numbers) jump bar. ProPlus Ultimate Elegance (I think that's the name). While in landscape it switches back to the thin bar (or at least it is the same as the thin bar). When I go back to portrait, I get the thick bar. Was this intentional, or did I goof something up?

3:

Can I change the background image on each page separately? Searched your forum...I'm assuming I missed the FAQ link to where this is spoken about? (I prefer to have my contacts on a pure black background as some of my contacts are text, and it is hard for me to see them on anything but a solid color)

Thanks again!

--Ironhead

P.S. My other question was how to create shortcuts to "jump" to a page, but then I noticed your package making a LockScreen1 - 7. After I changed the a shortcut to menuloader.exe, and correlated to the proper LockScreen<#>, I could jump to any screen I wanted.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Sorry what do you mean by your second Hub?

Yes that is perfectly intentional. If I kept the MenuBar at the bottom in Landscape mode then it would take up farr too much space on the screen and as the standard Mobile Shell puts its MenuBar on the right side in Landscape I kept with tradition and placed mine there too, although its an altered menubar with selectable pages still :)

You could place a Full Screen picture frame on the screen to have different images on each screen but they would be screwed up when you entered Landscape mode and possibly crash Mobile Shell. Its not possible to have different background images on lifestyle panels even if they are 7 single page panels, they all still share the same background file.

Did the Shortcuts in the Spb Links folder not work? There are Shortcuts for lifestyle1-7 in there as well as a shortcut link to the Professional screen.

@ Mark or anyoNe who can maybe help me

How do i use vostradamus widgets on proplus freedom?
[Windows Mobile Themes] a327602508:
I have been looking for this for a long time ,thanks a lot!
[Windows Mobile Themes] ironhead65:
I meant the professional hub, sorry that was not clear!

I meant that it got smaller in landscape mode. I don't care that it flipped to the side, but that it got smaller (I like the larger "with numbers" version of the menubar).

Hmm...good point. I was mentioning this, as I like to have a solid black background for my contacts. It just seems easier for me to read!

I didn't even see them there! Thanks!

@ MARK

any news on HVGA yet?
[Windows Mobile Themes] yitk:
hallo. i have hd2 with ms 3.3.5 (clean) and i tried to install the mskip pro plus full [w]vga, but i got a messsage that the installation was unsuccessful.

i did this changes of cetificate:

i used mobile security configurations manager and made the choice security off but still i can't install the mskip vga on my device.

i tried also the qvga version and that installation is success, but it's not working well - when i switch to the left and the right the widgets leaves traces on the screen.:eek:

[forgive me if i have mistakes - english is not my language...].:o
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
I havent started on HVGA yet..

Im trying to finish off QVGA and WQVGA updates on ProPlus WP7 so that all scheduled updates are completed before starting development on HVGA. That should be done by tomorrow night so then I can focus all attention on getting HVGA working for Freedom and then WP7 (if its wanted).

There is however a chance that my wife will give birth in the next few days, she was due on sunday so its going into overtime now and of course if my son/daughter arrives then I will be on down time for a bit :D

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Well yes of course you will have graphical errors if you use the [W]QVGA version as all the widgets and mods are designed for a different resolution ;)

What Rom do you have on your phone? If you have a stock rom then try installing sdkcerts, then soft reset and try installing the [W]VGA version again to Device Memory. I dont know if that was the security mod you made but it usually helps.

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] yitk:
thanks a lot. my rom is leo lite 3.1.1 wwe (21895.5.0.90).

i installed the sdkcert and soft reset but it still doesn't work.

:(
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
I have never heard of that Rom but I would guess thats where the problem lies. You could try using the Manager app to disable Mobile Shell, then see if it will install with Mobile Shell turned off. You can then reenable Mobile Shell afterwards. If that doesnt work then I dont know what else to sugest apart from flashing a different Rom.

Mark.

@ mark

Congratulationz mate nice 1

quick ? dont really no how to word this but here goes, I want to try resizing the menubars myself (if thatz cool with you) to try get them to fit on HVGA. Would i just have to resize the main and mask image of the menubar or is there more to it than just resizing it?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Well shes still not dropped yet (week overdue) and im working on HVGA now.

Im afraid theres alot more to it than just resizing the menubar image and mask. You need to resize all of the relevant buttons and also work out and edit all the coordinates and sizes in the menubar xml file in the qa_layouts.dat file.

Also HVGA is actually made on a 240x360 grid instead of the actual 320x480 screen size so its not as straight forward as all the other resolutions which is why I put it off til last lol.

Still want to give it a go? :p

Should have something to beta test in the next few days so I will let you know mate.

mskip, Hi! I appreciate your great work and I have only two questions:

Will you make widget pack for Proplus Freedom from WP7 theme v3 (player skins, icons etc.)?

Can you add menubar like this from DOC3000's theme in the next version of PP Freedom?

Thank you.

[Windows Mobile Themes] Clarion:
That will be great! Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Themes] tedkord:
MSkip - trying out your ProPlus Freedom on my Omnia II, and so far I like it. I do have a question or two, though, if you wouldn't mind.

1) I'm pretty sure the answer to this is "NO!", but is there any possible way to cut my number of lifestyle panels for Droid or Droid2 down to 5? Seven is just too many for me.

2) Can I backup a layout and transfer from one theme to another? For instance, I've set up the preset Droid theme exactly as I like it, and I'd like to have the same layout for Droid2 so I can have the smooth scroll. I've tried both SPB backup and your Layout Backup to Slot 1. With either, I backup Droid, reset to original, then set to Droid2 and restore layout, and it doesn't take unless I go back to Droid.
[Windows Mobile Themes] GEX THE GECKO:
I got a feeling mark wont be back on for a while yet mate so il ((TRY) to help ya with this and ya never no mate them extra panels could come in handy,

Have you tried going into the proplus manager and changing the number of panels in lifestle there? or even changing the number of lifestyle panels on mobile shell itself? az mobile shell settings offer 1 3 and 5 panels and as for the other question i dont no sorry

hope ya get it sorted
[Windows Mobile Themes] tedkord:
Thanks for the help. I hope the reason he won't be back isn't bad or serious.

Anyway, I've already tried setting the panels to 5, both from ProPlus Manager (it gives a dialogue box stating that the number of panels can't be changed for this theme), and from MS3.5's settings (it took the new value, but changed nothing).

Anyway, I can live with the extra panels. I'd really like to be able to transfer my layout to other themes, without having to manually set them up again. Anyone got any idea on that?
[Windows Mobile Themes] GEX THE GECKO:
No probz......Na am sure hes sound hes just spending some tym with his lass she waz due to give birth he mentioned it a few pagez back, az for your question i dont think thats possible but i use a htc mini and the themes n menubars features dont work properly on HVGA yet so i dont use them. Maybe a stupid question but have you looked through the FAQ's on the 1st page of this thread maybe theres something in there to help.....

Hope ya get it sorted:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] tedkord:
No problems. I haven't read through the entire 50 pages of this thread, but I did read the first page FAQs and such - also tried a google search with various terms with no luck. Although, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, so it's entirely possible I overlooked something...

Congrats to Mark on the birth of his son! I can see where that might be a bit more important than my silly questions...:D

Hope all is well.

welcome back Mark

How do i go about making a custom wallpaper for the carousel screen i read the tutorial on 1st page but got confused when it said i need to make 2 images ive made the 1st 320x480 az yano im usin HVGA res but i dunno what size i would need to make the 2nd image:confused:

@ Mark

On the photo frame skins theres1 called Full QVGA and 1 called Full WQVA is there a specific image size i could use with either 1 of these to get it to fit my screen?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Im not sure mate I know the HVGA resolution isnt as you might think. In the layout files its scaled up from 240 width to the 320 actual width so on the standard menubar you should try a 240x292 image and see how that works.

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] GEX THE GECKO:
Well aye works brill:) nice 1

am i right in thinkin the image is supposed to fill the space above the menubar and not actually cover the actual menubar itself?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Picture frames only cover the screen above the menubar. If your background wallpaper is showing through the menubar area then just create a wallpaper image (960x748) with a dark area on the bottom 100 pixels so that the menubar appears solid.

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] GEX THE GECKO:
Na its fine it fills the bit above the menubar, i was just curious because i had previously been using a wrong size image on the WQVGA full picture frame and that fit the full screen and even covered the menu bar but the menubar was usable and still visible but the picture would mess up when i scrolled screen,

Can anyone tell me how to get the weather clock show on the first page with droid? I can't seem to find it...

I can get the droid theme but that clock is not one of the options...

TIA!
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
The 'Sense' clock is built up of several widgets:

1. Add Shortcut widget (to anything) and change its skin (hold your finger or stylus on the widget until you get a popup, then select change skin) to Panel Medium (Grey2)

2. Add Digital Clock widget and change its skin to Diamond White

3. Add Weather widget and change its skin to ProPlus Standard (Medium)

4. Add another Weather widget and change its skin to Location (white)

5. Add another Weather widget and change its skin toProPlus Info (small)

6. Add a last Weather widget and change its skin to Text Small (white)

Mark,

It has been a year since I used SPB & your mods. Freedom is an oustanding product and my congrats on your work. I have given up on Sense +CHT2 for SPB + Freedom. Let's see how it works. I installed Freedom over Maverick's SPB rom and I get the black toggle widgets instead of the clear ones.

Can you tell me what files contain these images since I want to change them?

Hi,

Can someone please post new links. The existing links dont work?

Sure, although I just followed MSkip's instructions and made a couple of modifications:

1. Add Shortcut widget (to anything) and change its skin to "Panel Medium (Grey2)"

2. Add Digital Clock widget and change its skin to Diamond White

3. Add Weather widget and change its skin to "ProPlus Standard (Small)"

4. Add another Weather widget and change its skin to "Location (White)"

5. Add another Weather widget and change its skin to "ProPlus Info (Small)"

6. Add anotherWeather widget and change its skin to "Text Big (White)"

7. Add a Digital Clock widget and change its skin to "Date Only (Frame)"

[Q] Does anyone else have a..

..problem like I am with icons that don't show up?

Here is an example of what I mean:

Is there a fix for something like this?

I have tried reinstalling applications,

I've tried installing applications to both SD and Main memory,

Adding an icon over the existing icon with 'reStart' app,

Have tried making a ROM with apps already installed..

No idea how to fix this.

It is a shame because I'd like to have as many icons on the face as possible.

Is the reason why this might be happening because I have a QVGA device?

I downloaded this:

QVGA/WQVGA

Ok, thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ooxteme:
CDMA TP2. everything else works great man, just no weather showing up. i have spb weather installed also
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
You need to have Spb Mobile Shell 3.5.5 installed before installing ProPlus or the weather wont show as they changed the way the weather widgets worked in MS3.5.4. My bet is thats your problem, if im right then just update your version of Mobile Shell and then reinstall ProPlus Freedom and everything will be fine :)

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ooxteme:
Well you were 100% correct but now the overcast/clear/sunny will not show up and it only shows the temp now. no high and low...
[Windows Mobile Themes] osametto:
i am not able to download from vbnfiles.com !! any info ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] RobTsintas:
Yeah, I had this issue. It's nothing to do with Proplus, but a limitation of SPB MS.

Basically, Mobile Shell can't handle icons that aren't a square shape. So if you locate the icons that aren't displaying, you'll find that they have different widths to their heights.

Edit them in whatever picture editor you like, and you should find they start displaying correctly.

I now have a folder of saved icons that I've edited, so I can restore them after every ROM flash.

"The most versatile Proplus ever"

..no 320x320 support. Looks horrible on my Palm Treo Pro. It's a shame because I really like this theme. The bottom bar is all messed up.

I can't seem to uninstall either. This is frustrating. I waited like 20 minutes but the phone just locks up. I installed qvga and then vga thinking it would uninstall the qvga version, but instead it overlays it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Sorry for your troubles but all available resolutions are clearly stated in the Threads title. If you had done a search of the thread you would have found out SQ320 isnt covered and the MenuBars wont look right as it needs totally different resolution images than all other versions, hence the 'horrible' look on your phone. If you installed QVGA and VGA you have messed everything up and your best bet is a manual uninstall:

Using a registry editor delete the HKLM, Software, Spb Software House and Spb Software House 2 folders. Then delete the Program files, Spb Mobile Shell folder using a File Explorer. You will now need to reinstall spb mobile shell to get it working again.

Hi All,

I have been playing around with this theme pack and looks pretty good but I have noticed that when I add certain weather elements to the front page my memory drops instantly by around 15 - 20 mb (I have Batclock installed to keep an eye on my RAM) has anyone seen this before? is there anyway to fix this

Regards

Richard
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Weather widgets will always consume more Ram as each widget contains 31 seperate images for all the weather conditions. In my next version of ProPlus Freedom I have combined the location, temperature, conditions and weather image into 1 widget for my new HTC Sense widgets which should save alot of memory over adding them all seperately. The entire HTC clock can now be made up of 3 widgets instead of 7 (4 of them was weather widgets). :)

Mark.
[Windows Mobile Themes] damienisxcore:
Didn't mean to come off like an ass, I was just frustrated and kind of depressed because i've been seeking that "perfect theme". I finally find it and knew it didn't support my resolution, but hoped it would adjust itself like SPB did. Thanks for the manual install recommendation. I got VGA to uninstall but QVGA is still stuck and remains in the list of programs. Any chance of pointing me in a direction to make this work? I can code to some extent if you wouldn't mind me toying with your files.

I will look at the widget in a bit, I originally created the weather conditions widget before the night time conditions became available and im pretty sure all other themes that have that widget is just a copy of my work so thats wht they have the same display at night.
