Will uninstalling the cab remove the registry keys he said needed to be deleted through the manual uninstall instructions at the link to SPB club?

Widgets Pro Plus for Mobile Shell 3.01 final (VGA and WVGA only) 3rd June 2009.

Please install on a fresh installation of Spb Mobile Shell 3.0.1

NOTE: BEFORE YOU INSTALL THE CAB, USING A FILE EXPLORER, COPY YOUR QA_LAYOUTS.DAT FILE FROM PROGRAM FILES\ SPB MOBILE SHELL ON YOUR PHONE TO YOUR STORAGE CARD IN CASE YOU WANT TO UNINSTALL THE CAB, THEN YOU CAN COPY THE FILE BACK TO MOBILE SHELL AFTERWARDS AND GO BACK TO YOUR ORIGINAL LAYOUT AND NO EXTRAS.

MS301 Widgets Pro Plus VGA+WVGA 060309
Contains 32 NEW widgets and Mods, install to same location you installed Spb Mobile Shell to, then soft reset and they are ready to use (no extras included in this version).

MS301 Widgets Pro Plus Extras VGA+WVGA 060309
Contains all the widgets as in the MS301 Widgets Pro Plus cab
PLUS 7 Lifestyle screens instead of the standard 3
PLUS a Task Manager is added to the Carousel Screen (see picture)
PLUS a Wireless Manager is added to the Carousel Screen (see picture)
PLUS the Bottom Menu Bar has been made invisible
PLUS a 3 button menu on the Lifestyle and Pro screens on Portrait and Landscape Modes (the extra button is to the Agenda or the Task Manager Screen, see picture)
PLUS 2 buttons on the Weather, Task Manager and Wireless Manager Screens (Buttons are Lifestyle Home Screen and Contacts Screen, see picture)
PLUS an extra favourites (contacts) screen (click on contacts and then swipe your finger on the screen to the left to bring up the extra screen), this screen is fully customizable and you can swipe off the second favourites screen.

Hope its all ok. I dont even have a VGA phone but I made this since alot of people asked for it
Lots of thanks to everyone who helped test the cabs in various stages and especially to SiliconStar who helped me fix some of the resized widgets and made the large analogue clock

If any of the widgets look low quality its because I had to resize them up from QVGA. Let me know what ones dont look good and I will try to make them look better.

Im worn out now lol I need a good nights sleep

What theme did you install? Is there a new clock included in the theme or is that something that you are supposed to change manually?

I have tried to import your WidgePro reg file into my Kasier with three diffferent types of Registry editing programs but no success. I have changed the file type to .reg but nothing is added. Any ideas?

Thanks

I dont quite understand what you mean by making the number transparent. How would you see what the time is lol. I dont think it would be too hard to change the background clock colour, do you have something you would like me to make?

Im adding the white and black diamond clock (havent looked at the transparent one yet) to QVGA which I will be releasing maybe tomorrow if I can get it done by then. Some new widgets for people to play with over the weekend

I am using changeskins VGA to illustrate the transparent numerals. You will notice that in some screens there is the 0 for numeral placeholder and in some it is blank, I do not know why this is, but I do think the 0 looks better.
I would like to replace all white numerals and shadowing with Pink, Text I would like to make pale blue. I saw this where they used Pink Cumbustion menus and icons. I just dont care for the black accents and icons. I really like how customizable your software is, while still keeping the icons, menus, and submenus consistant with the original SPB Shell. I dont have a problem with changing icons, but I like not having to change my entire Set of icons to match a paticular theme. And of course you have all those great extra panels in the carousel that really work.

Anyway, third pic is just the Today screen loaded with the Original Tsk file made with old 2002 Theme maker. (This is how I get the Green bars in SPB Shell) I wish I could find a tool as easy as Pocket PC Theme Generator to work with SPB Shell. It makes it so easy to change color of any Text, Navigation Bar, Menues, Notifications etc. of course once you install SPB, most of the customizations are wiped out, bummer.
Let me know
Thank-you and Thank-you

Thank you for sharing this.
After these steps, would I be able to get two different background images between the two Lifestyle Home panels? Or they still remain the same?

Can you move the clock in the 2nd screen? The first "0" is normally displayed with a trick: it is not part of the time, but it's superimposed in the face.bmp.For solid digits, it works because when time goes past 9:59 the "1" cover the "0" of the face and all look correct.For transparent digits this should not be possible, since the "0" under the "1" should be always visible because of the transparent background of the digit itself.But in your 2nd screenshot it seems to work and this could be only possible if digits create a "hole" in the face instead of being superimposed.
Gonna make some further test.
