Hi,

Mobile Shell enables the HTC Menu Replacement altough is disables Manila3D. How can I disable the HTC Menu while Mobile Shell is running? In think the standard WM6.5 menus look much better.

I can answer my own question now, just in case anyone else needs the info. you can add a shortcut to the phonedialer.exe from spb's shortcut manager (my shortcuts/add file). it is a generic .exe icon, but it works nonetheless.

Any way to replicate the "favorites" background tile images?

ChangeLog:
9th October 2009 - Only for QVGA at the moment:
+ Fixed Modern Digital Clock Frame (wasnt moveable before)
+ Carousel Image will now change along with other screens using qa_fundotela2 file
+ Added small invisible link
+ Added date only widget
+ Added ALL Backing Panels, buttons and seperator lines that was available in 3.0.1
+ Added 3 new weather widgets (Standard Medium, Manilla Medium and Soft Large)
+ Rearranged widget list so that the most frequently used widgets are at the top
+ Changed the Date Widget group into a Backing Panels Widget group and added a custom icon (date widgets are still selectable through the Backing Panels widget group

Download and more info *HERE*

Hi, thanks for your great widgets! I am wondering if there is a way to replicate the look that shows on the "favorites" screen in SPB Mobile Shell v3.5 where there is a background tile behind the program icon and name. I would like to use this same style on the other screens where I can put links to my apps. I have attached am image showing the tiles. I have a WVGA screen resolution. Since they are obviously there for the favorites, is there a way I can grab the existing image and reuse this?

I do want to verify. I change the qa-layout.dat to .rar and extract using p/w. Then I compress again to a rar file and change the rar to dat. Is that the correct procedure? If not, then there lies my problem.
Thanks to all
and
to MSkip..you widgets are excellent!!
.....- Add the xml file to your qa_layouts.dat (remember encryption password b0fm18zq )
.....
Why don't u (both) use ShellExtension to put XML's in the qa_Layouts.dat file.
It’s much easier no use off passwords, always the correct zip file.
and see instantly the output of your work...

Just put the xml file in the "ZipToDat" map on your device and start ShellExtension. and restart shell. That’s all...
For ShellExtension see here

That's correct, I just wanted to write instructions usable by everyone even without any other software, but what you suggest is definitely correct! :)

Anybody has any idea how the "bottom menu bar" of Ziphone works? I was told before that the bottom bar can only be used to launch some SPB panels but on Ziphone they use it to launch Email and SMS (tmail).
How to customize it further to other applications?
Also if someone could point me which of the dat files I should check about the modified SPB icons (such as the Contacs, Launcher, Weather, SPB panel, etc)... is there a way to import them to some other mods like ProPlus? any links on this subject would be appreciated too.
Thanks:)

GWeather in place of SPB Mobile Shell's default weather widget

In SPB Mobile Shell, when you click on the weather widget...

...you'll be redirected to the default (built in) weather application.

but lately I came across a great app from ageye called G-Weather http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=gweather/about with beautiful TouchFLO 3D-like weather animation and small in size updates.

I was wondering is there a way to make the weather widget from my Lifestyle screen link directly to G-Weather and not the SPB app.

I think that's a special thing only available through Mskip's themes. It's free (although I'm sure Mskip would appreciate a $$ thank you) and won't hurt your functionality. Use what works for you.
