A couple of thoughts though:
I know we can select our own background for the Lifestyle Home screen, but would it not be more logical to have this selected automatically and be "themed" with the background (ie the same) for the rest of the screens? If it is not too much work in the interim, could your backgrounds be made available for us to load ourselves for the Lifestyle Home screens?
You can extract them from the qa_custombkg.dat files (rename as qa_custombkg.zip) using the usual password to unzip it

I'm new to this forum. What is the password to unzip the qa_custombkg.dat files?
The Mobile Shell 3 skins are GREAT.
Thanks
Never mind. I found it.

Hi MikiBest,
First of all: you rock!
I have a simple question. Now that you are working on MS3, does that mean that development for MS2 stopped? I am using the SQ320 version for 2.1.5 and, although I am already loving it to bits, there are some alignment issues.
I hope to be able to make some screen shots soon to show them.
Keep up the good work!

To add links inside the Games and Navigation menus just enter (click over the relative icons) and tap on the right bottom button.
Thanks for your quick response, that did the trick!

Hello, I just posted on the other board, but I'd rather post here. I dont speak Italian.
Is there a way to customize the Multimedia, the Organizer, or the Tools Menu like in the last version. I really like this feature.
Thanks you for such a great Skin!

Looks excellent. Just a couple of questions about this new version-
1. Will your professional layout ever replace the MS one so we can do the up/down gesture to go between yours and the lifestyle layout? If it is not possible, no worries. I just like your professional home and would like to be able to go to the lifestyle home by flicking up instead of going to the carousel, swiping over then choosing lifestyle.
2. Is that part of why the digital clock on the lifestyle page will not use your version (glass, led, modern digits, etc) and only the analog clock will change?
3. I can't remember if this was asked/answered before (I tried looking at the last few pages so sorry if I missed it) - on the programs tab, can it go to the last used tab or can we choose for it to go to the Favorites/MRU page by default instead? Once again, if not then no worries. Just thought I'd check.
Thank you again for your time on this excellent program/skin for Mobile Shell. Very well done. :D

Hi, i'm having problems with the widget icons, most of them get smaller when i install and once i open the msn inbox and go back they get distorted... I'm using a Palm Treo Pro, 320 x 320, i guess that maybe the icons are made for the 240 x 240. Once i uninstall the software the widgets go back to normal, :confused: can anyone help?
I love spb and also this app. Thanks in advance.

Except the picture above, all other pictures of SKINs (including in Official website) relate to MS version 2. Would anybody please upload a few pics of the customization made with this for MS 3 to see if it is worth installing?
Also, does installing this wipes previous customizations and new installed widgets (like the "pro")? If so, restoring MS backup settings restores what there was previously?
Thanks.

I'm trying to update my skins and I'm getting an error message. "Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive" I'm trying to use the WQVGA version.
While I'm posting, I was having troubles integrating the pro version clock widgets with changeskins. Everytime I'd switch from portrait to landscape I would get a scrambled "edit profile" screen. When I remove the Pro widgets it worked fine again.

Firstly, a HUGE thank you for this v4.1 MikiBest!!!
I like the transparent bars, the fact that you can now add items in the various folders etc.
A huge request from me. Would you be able to make all the folders display in grid format? Is it also possible to make all the bottom bars for all the different pages/screens transparent, or at least to colour them the same as the theme selected? I find the dull grey, well, rather dull..lol. When I use a black theme like Kyro HTC, then the bottom bar looks dull on professional and custom screens.
Finally, would it also be possible to add HTC and Vista buttons for the bottom bar? Presently there is only a choice between Diamond, iPhone and Omnia. I know that this would be a huge favour from you.
I look forward to future developments from you.
With much gratitude and appreciation,
MAC

I'm not sure which bug was fixed - the battery, or the black text. I followed these directions exactly, and I still have black text in the lifestyle calendar widget. I can barely see my appointments. Any suggestions?

WQVGA works like a champ now. Thanks for the update. This skin program makes SPB MS rock. I'm still having the same problem when I try and use the "pro" widget package. Any chance of an update to the skins with a large digital clock like the one on the professional screen?

Thanks, andresglez! I neglected to reset the skin, and now that I did it worked great.
I agree with The Eleven - I'd love to have the option to use the large professional digital clock on the lifestyle screen.
Otherwise, this is fantastic! Just what I needed to spice up my MS 3.

Mobile shell doesn't support the seconds hand for analog clocks. They sell the Spb Time to enhance the clock features.

Hi MikiBest,
Buon Giorno,
Just a few problems/bugs I have found:
1. The connectivity bars (Bluetooth, wifi etc) above the clock on custom pro screen do not work.
2. Weather does not update from weather screen. It connects to internet but then nothing happens. I have to go to the Spb Weather app to update.
3. The Voicemail widget does not dial voicemail. I get message that number is incorrect?
Perhaps you could have a look at this.
Thanks once again for your sterling and speedy work.

You can't set the colour of fonts etc. What he is trying to say is that for all dark (Kyra) skins, you will automatically get white fonts, and with all light (Luna) skins, you will get mostly black fonts automatically. This is obviously done like this to contrast fonts correctly with the selected skin.
If you have selected a Luna(light) skin, and you use a dark wallpaper for your lifestyle screen, then chances are you won't see some of the fonts on digital clock, calendar, battery percentage etc. etc. If, however, you use a Kyra(dark) skin with a dark wallpaper on your lifestyle screen, then you will see that all your fonts wil be white and clearly legible.
Interestingly, you can see white fonts with a light wallpaper too, as long as it is not white.
I trust that this sheds some light on your question.

Yes, I am afraid that you will always have the weather icon using a white font, and with a Luna skin, all other fonts will be black. With the calendar, Luna skins will display the day of the week in black and the dates in white fonts. I am not sure if this can be changed by MikiBest.
Which skin is that one that you are displaying?

Your explanation is correct, but I've found a problem in the Luna lifestyle area: some widgets can have only white characters. Please wait for the new upgrade, I'll set the lifestyle characters to WHITE color for both Luna and Kyro skins and I'll introduce the new digital clock widgets. :)

Did I misunderstand? I thought the Pro Style digital clocks was going to be supported in this release.
Actually, I must have somethign wrong with my install. I had 4.0 version on...the one that did have an uninstall script, and did the uninistall of that, then installed 4.1.1.
I have 3 digital clocks listed in widgets, none of which are the one in the printscreen above. One is a Digital (PRO), which i'm sure is from another cab installed earlier, which did not and still does not work.
I presume I need to go ahead and select one of the themes listed.

My skins don't support third party components. You can install them on your risk.
You MUST install the 4.1 before the 4.1.1; infact 4.1.1 is an upgrade for the 4.1. Please read the Installation instructions. :confused:

Hi.
Thanks for the info. (I'd swear I read in a post earlier here that teh Pro widget would be implemented in this realease. I must have been dreaming).
Sorry, I did follow the instructions, but it seems I downloaded 4.1, and not 4.1.1. So 4.1 is installed, I just now need to follow-up by getting the 4.1.1. update.

Guys,
I renamed the qa_custombkg folder and unzipped.
Then I loaded the bitmaps into the spb theme folders
I can view the files but I still cannot get it to change on the
lifestyle page.
Please assist. thanks as always, great work!
Was there a way to do this? I didn't see it in the list of updates in 4.1.1 - just wondering. Thanks. :)

Hi MikiBest,
First of all: you rock!
I have a simple question. Now that you are working on MS3, does that mean that development for MS2 stopped? I am using the SQ320 version for 2.1.5 and, although I am already loving it to bits, there are some alignment issues.
I hope to be able to make some screen shots soon to show them.
Keep up the good work!
As I promised, some screen shots of issues with version 3.2 on a square 320 screen. There are some small alignment problems, which I tried to indicate in the screen shots (forgive my terrible gimp-skills:)):
the wireless status indicator is not aligned with the operator (see upper left and right image)
there is no wireless indicator on the contacts pages (bottom two images). Is that intentional?
the divider between multiple appointments on the now screen is too far to the right (upper left image)
the divider on the calendar screen is OK (upper right image), but in my opinion it would be nice if the appointments are a bit further to the right.
when opening a contact (lower right image), the text of the top button is a bit too far up (or the button is too low, of course), and it looks like the name should be a bit lower and to the right
another issue, of which I forgot to take a screen shot, is that most of the icons for the today plug-in of MS are messed up. It looks like they are too small. Could this be because my Treo pro is set to 128 DPI, and I need the SQ240 icons? If so, which file needs to be replaced?
I hope you still have some time to work on the version for MS2.
Thanks again for this killer app!

Thanks again.
All transparent clocks displays 9:00 instead of 09:00. The fact is that Spb Mobile Shell support 2 kinds of digital clocks: the modern digital clock and the standard digital clock. Old digital clocks are standard but they are not supported into the Lifestyle section. So I've converted them from the standard type to the modern type. The modern types don't show the zero digit when the hour is less than 10. To overcome this limitation I've introduced the zero on the clock face; this is overwrited by the "1" (and "2" - if use 24 hours instead of AM/PM) when the hour is great than 9.
This tricks is not possible for trasparent clocks as you can imagine.

Please help.
- enter into the Spb Mobile Shell "Advanced" options as you want add a new program item and check the Spb Menu tree. You should see EXACTLY these 11 items, all checked:
0 [x] Organizer
1 [x] Internet
2 [x] Multimedia
3 [x] Tools
4 [x] Programs
5 Settings
6 [x] Messages
7 [x] Games
8 [x] Navigation
9 [x] -must be empty- (Wireless Manager)
10 [x] My Menu
(The folder names should be translated to your language)
If you miss one of them you have to add it manually to the registry key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Menu\Root
(the numbers on the left are the Index values to set )
Sometimes running Install***.mscr can solve this problem

Excellent program! I've been enjoying all of the options a great deal.
One issue with the most recent release - I uninstalled MS 3, uninstalled your MS skins program, then installed MS 3.1 beta, then downloaded and installed a fresh copy of your program from your site. The 'show today' widget worked great until I installed the new version of MS skins, but has now disappeared. It shows as an option in the 'add widget' menu, but won't display on the lifestyle screen. Also, there does not appear to be any option for the professional digital clock on the lifestyle screen.
Any ideas? It almost seems that I have the original version rather than an updated one.
Otherwise the software rocks!

This happens sometimes depending on the device speed, but I don't know why. I suggest this work around:
- open the Install_WQVGA.mscr with a text editor (you can use also the Mobile Word) and insert some instructions like Message("Hello") after and before the lines SpbRegKey= ........ SkinRegKey=.....
- save it and run again; the message Hello should appairs a number of times corresponding of your inserted lines, but the install process should continue with success.

Can be done only if you edit the Common\Q\BaseFiles\Black\qa_layouts.dat file (and the White too).
1. rename it as qa_layouts.zip
2. open with winzip using the usual password (you can find it in this forum)
3. edit the MenuBar*.xml with Notepad and remove the four lines:
<Plugin Class="Spb.LSP.Background" Name="TabBackgrd">
<String Name="ImageName" Value="Background"/>
<String Name="ImageNameC" Value="BackgroundC"/>
</Plugin>
where you found them.
4. save the files and update them inside the .zip
5. rename the qa_layouts.dat to qa_layouts.zip
6. change the skin at least one time

Well a fantastic combination. Just some suggestions.
1. The integrated contact manager does not support grouping of contacts.
2. The analog clock of Sbp v3.0 and Change Skin 4.1 does not support second's hand so the last must erase the second hand of the backgroud of the clocks.
2. The Change Skin must have or a way to preview the selections that the user made o give us a document where the user can see the picture of e.g. the icons that he/she choose.
Sorry if off topic.

1. You should edit the file MenuBackgrd.bmp into qp_bkg_now.dat / ql_bkg_now.dat (QVGA) in the folder where Spb Mobile Shell 3 is installed (\Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell). Soft reset the device or change one time the skin using my tool.

1. You should edit the file MenuBackgrd.bmp into qp_bkg_now.dat / ql_bkg_now.dat (QVGA) in the folder where Spb Mobile Shell 3 is installed (\Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell). Soft reset the device or change one time the skin using my tool.
2. Edit the file TabIcons_m.bmp into \SpbMobileShellSkins\Commons\Q\TabImages\Diamond\q a_menu_tabs.dat as usual (rename to .zip, open with password etc. )
I've tried this but with no luck. Is it possible for you to give me the bmp files or the ammended .dat files? thanks in advance.

Yes of course, I'm also interested to a free image converter
hi miki, there are to files, rename each one to .exe and then istall mwgfxdll file first, later, run the show.exe. thats all. it is a very simple aplication, but is easy to change and bmp file to 16 bits.
hey miki, one more thing. i have my bottom bar transparent on both the life style and the profesional panel
however, i would like to put the bottom bar transparent in others panels. for example, launcher or contacts o time.
what must i do for that?

You have to do it manually:
- Extract the bmp from the skin
- Resize the picture
- Change it manually using bottom right corner

File = \Storage Card\SpbMobileShellSkins\Scripts\Switcher\Gprs-off.mscr

I'm using SPB MS 3.01b6456 and VGA Skin 4.1.2 Dutch Language
When I try to save a new theme after a short pause nothing happens. :confused:
Existing themes from Skin 3.2 can be loaded.
Problem solved:
My HTC had MortScript 4.2 on it. The SaveTheme.mscr script did not work with that. When ik use Mortscript 4.1 everything is OK :)

Perhaps you can answer me the following two question:
1.
I have installed the last Update and now you can choose the digi-clock
so it should be the same in professional-screen and in the lifestyle screen.
When I choose the Lamborghini clock then I have in the professional screen
silver digits and in the lifestyle-screen golden clocks. So, there is a different and I would like to get the silver digits in the lifestyle-screen too.
Where can I change this?
2. I have a background picture in all professional-screens and in the caroussel and it looks great. If i take the same picture for the lifestyle-screen-background then it looks very very big, so I can only see a part of the picture. If I reconfigure the file for lifestyle-screen to a smaller one, there is no change - it looks very big and I only see a part of it.
Any idea?
Kind regards

As I promised, some screen shots of issues with version 3.2 on a square 320 screen. There are some small alignment problems, which I tried to indicate in the screen shots (forgive my terrible gimp-skills:)):
the wireless status indicator is not aligned with the operator (see upper left and right image)
there is no wireless indicator on the contacts pages (bottom two images). Is that intentional?
the divider between multiple appointments on the now screen is too far to the right (upper left image)
the divider on the calendar screen is OK (upper right image), but in my opinion it would be nice if the appointments are a bit further to the right.
when opening a contact (lower right image), the text of the top button is a bit too far up (or the button is too low, of course), and it looks like the name should be a bit lower and to the right
another issue, of which I forgot to take a screen shot, is that most of the icons for the today plug-in of MS are messed up. It looks like they are too small. Could this be because my Treo pro is set to 128 DPI, and I need the SQ240 icons? If so, which file needs to be replaced?
I hope you still have some time to work on the version for MS2.
Thanks again for this killer app!

the SaveTheme.mscr script contain the reserved word "Repeat" as variable name. For Mortscript 4.1 this isn't a reserved word and works fine; if you use MortScript 4.2 just edit the script and raplace "Repeat" with "DoRepeat" for example.

Hi Miki,
Before installing Changeskin, under SPB, when you'd press the menu button (button to the left on the bottom bar) it would go to Favorites and Recently Used programs....but now Changeskin takes me to the menu on the right (organizer, internet, multimedia, tools...etc).
Can you tell me how to make it go directly to Favorites instead of that other Menu cause it takes an extra click to go to Favorites? Thanks.
in case case it's relevant, using an Omnia and SPB 3.

Hello MikiBest, you have created an excellent add-on for ms3. Here is what I think it could easily be added to this excellent software:
- to allow user to change the buttons on the bottom bar (to pick from the predefined lists of buttons). Example, now you have 3 buttons on it: Spb menu, Weather and favourite contacts. Some users might consider Launcher to be very important button fro quick access.
- to add/remove pages on the carousel. example, checkbox for Time page, weahter page, contacts page, etc.
- option to choose number of lifestyle pages
- option to show/hide top start bar.
- to allow bottom/up bars to be transparent (dont know how difficult this one will be).
Cheers, and keep up the good work. ;)

2. As I stated earlier I cannot create a background that will work with KYRO, it just stays black. If I create a background using LUNA it works perfect.

Searched for help on Vp_menu_btn.dat but no help found related to this issue.
So uninstalled all and repeated process stopping after version 4.2.
Is 4.3 matched to the official 3.0.1 release or only to Beta 3?

I honestly dont remember seeing this thread before, I found out about changeskin in another SPB MS3 Thread and was going straight to MIKI's website and PM him (I actually found it after he included the link in PM).
Anyway, I am very surprised that this thread doesnt see more activity than it does. This is such a great tool, and very stable, not to mention that you can install it on an SD or CF card with out overwriting your main SPB file. The customization process is so easy to use and though he has multiple backgrounds to choose from, you can easily add your own if you like. Maybe most people are using Lifestyle Widgets and Modification. But if you havent tried Mikis, you should, it creates some really slick layouts and is actually alot of fun to use. Of course this is my personal opinion, and yes, I think MSKIP is a genius too!

How do I hide the taskbar in the Lifestyle Panel? I have installed ToggleStart which allows me to hide the Taskbar, but then I get a black bar at the bottom of my screen. I have tried editing the menubackgrnd files, changeing the "white" to black, and even editing the menutab file. It did nothing. Look at my screenshots below.

You can download now the 4.1.3 fullpack; this avoid to apply the upgrades.
This release contains also 2 analog clocks and 5 digital clocks (the coloured diamond) that are not free before.

Hey Miki,
Nice to see you are still around. And you were busy...
Are you only going to work on version 4, or can we also expect development for version 3?

Anyone have a bead yet on the compatibility of 4.1.3 with MS3.5?
I expect issues with icons and custom backgrounds and am curious what we're in for after upgrading. Anyone have anything to report yet?
Thanks!

I didn't try it, but would think it would have to be updated to work with 3.5

If you want to use in conjunction with mskips modifications which allow your own buttons at the bottom of the screen you will need to reinstall after each theme change and soft restart

Hi! I had the same problem and solved reading caerfully...
In the web page of the software (http://www.imarche.net/omnia/fullpacks.php#nogo) it sais:
"To uninstall the skins you need the Original dat files"
So you must download, extract and place this files http://www.imarche.net/omnia/download/SpbMobileShell3.5-Original.zip on the same folder you have th spb mobile change skin. The you run the unistall .mrc and that's it!
Hope you can solve the problem

To uninstall the skins you need the original dat files; you can get here the zip with this files:
http://www.imarche.net/omnia/fullpacks.php
Download, extract the zip in the same storage card where you have the SpbMobileShellSkins folder and run the Uninstall.mscr script

Weather widgets disappear if you are using anyone's mod.
This happens when you overwrite the qa_layout.dat file; this file include the Widgets.xml file (the widget registry file).

Here's my problem: I have a qvga device, and I want to give a new lokk to spb with changeskin.
But i don't want to change the original theme, because with every theme I have some trouble with Background.For example, if a go trought my contacs page and i scroll down, the backround image "freeze" until i leave my finger.
Is not so easy to explain.
Is there a solution?

I have tried to uninstall using the instructions on the Changeskin site and here and am still recieving this error:
RegDeleteKey: Registry
Key mustn't be empty!
Line:
RegDeleteKey ("HKLM"
SkinRegKey, True, True )
After you download and unzip the Original files where do you put them and which uninstall do you use. The uninstall that is with the Original files or the one with the program. Because I have run both uninstalls and both give me the same error.
