I can't change the skins for weather....

I can only set the default ones and text information skins

the others like images and hero like weather only show as a grey square without weather image on it or doesn't show nothing (when i select sense image small or mid)...

and for the brightness skin, i still can't find it too

I'm on the 2.1 on spb 3.5.5

is it normal... apart from that everything is cool
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Are you absolutely sure you have Spb Mobile Shell 3.5.5 installed on your device as that weather widget problem is specific to older versions of Mobile Shell..

Can you try uninstalling Droid Pro+, then uninstall Mobile Shell, soft reset and reinstall Spb MobileShell 3.5.5 (might want to download it again from the website just to make sure). Then reinstall Droid Pro+ v2.1 and check your weather widget skins.

As for the brightness widget I think it has something to do with your Windows Mobile build.

tks... it's work :)

of course to slot 1 he go like you said.

after that i made a copy to my storage card for safe keeping.

using Combo transparent large, the date are cut at final.

(sorry my english )

en my language you get: segunda-feira, 10 de Dezem...

and for alarms the same thing. too long lines get cut.

but is not a long line because i have space between the end of line and screen.

Sorry I havent been available over the weekend I have been spending time with my family and new son so im sure everyone will undertsand :)

Also I have been finishing all the coding for this project and adding a theme swapping option in the menu which can be expanded in the future. I spent time doing it right so there was alot of widgets which needed incorporating into the pack so as to not push the install size too high and make it unuseable on older devices.

Anyway im almost finished with everything I just need to do a bit more testing and then I can pass it back to Doc3000 for final widget adding. I would say the [W]QVGA can be released late tonight or tomorrow :) Then I have a few additions to make on ProPlus Freedom before starting on the WVGA pack but hopefully it wont take too long.

Can't change menu bar

I have tried several times to change the menu bar with the droid pro manager application but no luck. Is there another way to change the menu bar?

Also, when I run the droid pro manager application, I can only run it once. I try to open the program but nothing happens (unless I do a soft reset). Any ideas?

BTW, I have an Omnia II i920 with WM 6.5.5 and Mobile Shell 3.5.5.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskip:
Version 2.2 for [W]VGA will be released sunday afternoon or evening (British time) :)

Major updates include all new wireless, battery, brightness and volume icons.

Also included will be MSkip's NEW Background Manager with which you can automatically create fundotela files from a portrait and landscape bmp image. You can also select a fundotela file and use it on any of 14 selectable spb screens. The image can be used on more than 1 screen to save storage space, yo ucan set all screens to a single image or disable background images and delete all fundotela files from your device.

When I try to change the settings in the menu of the program (where you can choose the menubar, the amount of screens...) it is mainly showing 'blocks'. I can only see a few letters. The strange thing is that it worked correctly at first. The menu is still working though, I just have to guess what to choose. Is there someone who knows how to solve this problem? I'm using a topaz, stoch

Theres definitely some kind of problem with non wwe roms using the arial font in the manager. In the new version I have deleted the font so it will just use your default windows font so this problem shouldnt occur anymore from 2.2.

It really depends what type of widgets you want to make and how in depth you want to go. I keep meaning to write a tutorial on creating mobile shell widgets but never get around to it.

The easiest way if you just want to change the skins for clocks or batterys, etc. is to look at the dat files for each widget and get a feel of how they work. All mobile shell dat files can be opened with winzip or 7zip using the password b0fm18zq. All images are made up of 2 graphic files. The main image and the mask image. The main image needs to be saved as 16bit RGB (R5G6B5) which is only handled by photoshop or Gimp. The mask image handles the transparency of the main image. Anything in the mask that is white will make the corresponding part of the main image solid and any part that is black will make the main image transparent, with gradients in between determining the level of transparency of the main image. There is always an index.xml text file in the dat which either gives sizes and coordinates or the items to be displayed in the widget, or states the size of the individual images in the case of the battery widget.

There is also a widgets xml file in qa_layouts.dat which handles the placement and file links of the widgets and to display each widget it must be listed in the WidgetPackages folder in the registry.

If you want more detailed info then have a play around first to try and work out how everything goes together, then ask more questions :)

TESTER NEEDED FOR [W]VGA V2.2!!

I need someone who can install v2.2 on a VGA or WVGA device to test the Background Manager..

Specifically I need the tester to see if the panels (carousel) screen changes as its not working properly on my phone but when using exactly the same mods on an emulator it works perfectly so im not sure if its just my phone or not.

Anyone who can test [W]VGA for me please post in here ASAP as I cant release the Theme until I know whether its a bug or not.

Thanks.

UPDATE OF DROIDPRO+ FOR [W]VGA RESOLUTIONS!!

ChangeLog:

13th December (VGA, WVGA)

* Added *NEW* Background Manager which you can use to create your own fundotela files AND put Custom Backgrounds on ANY SPB Screen

* Reworked all the Status switches (Wifi, Bluetooth, Flight Mode, Phone Switch, Phone Profile, Backlight and Battery) so they can be placed in any order upto 6 widgets on a line

* Updated the Notes Widget so it asks if you want to write a Note before erasing the old one (avoids accidental clicking)

* Added a few of the HTC widgets from my ProPlus Freedom Widgets (Black and White HTC clocks, Weather info, Medium Weather, etc.)

* Moved some of the utilities to the 'Extra Tools' Section in the DroidProPlus Manager

* Added a Sense style background to Note Widget 4 to give it a better look

* Optimised some of the files to reduce install size

* Some other things I cant remember..

Download from 1st Post.

Enjoy (remember Thanks is only a button press away) :)

Just one question though, how do I go about changing the image/icon of the "middle button"? I tried altering the MenuBackgrd image (the only "visible" image, apart from the mask) in vp_bkg_nowVAdv2x3_menubar5.dat, but it completely messed up my menubar, it reverted to the default...

Does the link change when you select a spb screen? What version of Spb Mobile Shell do you have installed? What phone do you have the theme on and what exact version did you install (resolution)?

This problem hasnt been posted by anyone else so Im pretty sure its not a problem with the cab.. Maybe a conflict with the rom.

[Windows Mobile Themes] drupad2drupad:
Mark, I am amazed at the amount of hardwork you put for SPB Shell on your own as well as by teaming up with all other xda members. Congratulations to you all first of all for creating such a re-freshing theme, something different than Sense clocks and sense layouts!! :D

I am back to SPB Shell after viewing this thread :rolleyes:

I tried 2.1 couple of days ago and the only bug I saw was : The task manager button and middle button.

Task manager button at times opened SPB Taskmanager even if I had allocated it to open WM Taskmanager.

Middle Button at times opened SPB FAVOURITE menu instead of my allocated SPB MENU (the one with huge 6/8 icons)

I then tried this 2.2 update today - I removed SPB as well as 2.1 completely and then installed everything fresh.

I love the background changing option - it has made all of this so much better! Thanks for that hard work :D

Only thing I noticed (bug or my noobness - you decide) Background manager only changed few custom backgrounds (using the fundotela.zip backgrounds in the thread). When I select Sense background and then try to swap it for something else, it won't change it! It doesn't do anything for certain background files either. I think it's not a bug in background manager but more likely in the qa_xxx background files in that zip folder.

Also, it only changes on Professional layout not lifestyle - is it correct understanding of mine?

The ones that din't change:

scenery1

scenery_night1

snow_scene1 - shows blue diagonals

blue_diagonals - shows blue diagonals

Rest work perfectly fine :D

Also this might be off topic, you can choose not to answer, but is there any way by which we can choose what icons/programs are shown in 'Programs'. I used Resco to hide few icons, they are hidden in WM start menu but not in SPB Programs. Any ideas please?

PS: Using miROM4 which is clean retroclassic wm6.5.5 - TG01 is my device running SPB 3.5.5 Build 10087.

Mark, sorry for the late reply.. couldnt find the time to play with the back ground changer..

After tweaking it for sometimes.. i FIND no PROBLEMS(except one)...... it just works flawlessly on my i8000.....if the only function of this background changer is to change background then it does the work fine......

the only problem is that in the 3d carousal I find a White tile... i dont know if it is the background changer problem or just the crappy graphics of o2... im attaching some screenshots..... you decide the rest....

once again THANKS A LOT FOR THIS CHRISTMAS GIFT....... :D
