Useless?

How to kill taskbar and have SPB in fullscreen?
http://xdaforums.com/show...&postcount=717

When doing that its only good when your on the lifestyle layout of spb3, lets say you open File Explorer thats when the problem accures because you cant close the File Explorer because the taskbar is gone = no X button to hit to close the app.... if only it was possible to ONLY remove the taskbar when on the lifestyle layout of spb3 and keep the taskbar on all the other places then it would be super...

When the taskbar on the lifestyle layout is removed its looks so much better

Someone comon and make this possible !!!!

I agree...its a nice start...but until u can then move up widgets into that area....it still looks pretty much like the taskbar might as well be there...
Now if an amazing developer made this work...I would be so on board...

I have an i910 Omnia, I'd like to have a battery icon that is more accurate in it's reading..instead of every 20% I'd like 1% or at least a properly work 5% increments. Samsung/verizon tried with their easy settings for a 5% increment meter, but it was wildly inaccurate...is there a way to do this with a widget or is a DLL or driver have to be modified?

I already use your VGA version of BlackStorm+2 weather iCones, but the new version T3 seems to be fantastic.
Hope you will post soon a VGA version of T3.

Thanks Bro for your hard work.

I´m not sure if you´ve found it. i had the same problem on my omnia. resolution is to make the picture in the size you want to see, even so small that you see 100% on screen. then you make new (only black) picture, ex in Paint with the correct resolution for your handy - omnia is 960x748. then you put your smaller image in the middle and save it (16bit) as bmp. so your picture in this new file is in the middle and has a black background around it. put the file in spb-prgr-folder and choose it as background in lifestyle-screen. then you will see your picture inthe correct size with a small black border. perhaps you have to resize it a little. you can do it in Paint - mark it and resize the picture on the black background.

Thanks i did like this open a new window and maked a black fill size was about 960xXXX

then i open a wide pic and rezized the size to 360 in height and "let" the width "follow" and then i put the resized pic in the middle but top of the black one so the head of the to pics was on top of each other and centered it. ssaved as JPG and put it in SD card and it worked fine, 360 gives u a pic that "stops" over the bottom bar of MS3 i do still not get why a 360 height dosent fill a 320 screen but i think thiss looks nice (was thinking of making the bottom bar invissible but this actully look good enugh better than letting the picture be visible trough the bottom bar ther are 1 or 2 pixels left between pic and bar but looks good

im using this on my i780 sqvga 320x320

the pics need to be wide mine that looked good was 743x360

i do not knew the origin of the pic but it was from a wallpaper thread on here so thanks someone

How to add Task Manager panel in the carousel

It's a very simple registry trick:

1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Spb Software Hause 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Now Screen\Layouts\

Add new key -> :TASKMANAGER

2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Spb Software Hause 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Now Screen\Layouts\:TASKMANAGER\

String name - (Default), String - TaskManager
String name - TaskManager, String - Normal

3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Spb Software Hause 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Now Screen\Panels\

Add new key -> 12

4. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Spb Software Hause 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Now Screen\Panels\12\

String name - (Default), String - (value not set)
DWORD name - ManageFavs, DWORD Data - 0
String name - Name, String - :TASKMANAGER
String name - Text, String - TaskManager

Does this just work only on VGA? I have Qvga and this is what i get. Any clues? I'm using 3.0 orig not beta..

What scroll bar?

Quadman · May 16, 2009

If u look to the right of the thumbnail there's a scrollbar or line. If u move the taskbar panel up and down u can see it.

Oh ok yeah i see it lol does it have a scrollbar if u have the taskmanager full size or just in the carousel view?

EDIT: uninstall the cab i sent and go into your resgistry editor and delete the 2 folders u created (the :TASKMANAGER and 12 folder) then soft reset and try the task manager normally to see if the scroll bar has gone. If it has then try reinstalling the cab and soft reset to see if its fixed.

I notice there is a skin for a large digital clock (va_dclock.dat on vga device. I assume qa_dclock or ma_dclock exist on other resolutions), but I've been unable to create a widget to actually use it. Has anyone figured this out?

I first tried:

Code:

<Plugin Name="ModernDClockBig" Class="Spb.LSP.ModernDClock" Skin="qa_dclock" MiddleSkin="ma_dclock" DoubleSkin="va_dclock"> <BoundRect X="0" Y="0" Width="205" Height="87"/> </Plugin>

But nothing showed up. Poking around in the mobile shell executable, I see there's what looks like DigitalClock class, but that was even worse. Adding that widget to the Lifestyle screen made the whole Lifestyle panel to black out. Had to delete the key in a registry editor and restart Mobile shell to recover.

What seems to be different about this skin from the other digital clocks is that it provides bitmaps of the digits rather than use a font.

Any ideas?

Jeff

I don't remember if i ever used va_dclock.dat but for sure I'm using vl_dclock_modern.dat as widget with the following code:

<Plugin Name="ModernDClockBig" Class="Spb.LSP.ModernDClock" Skin="vl_dclock_modern" MiddleSkin="vl_dclock_modern" DoubleSkin="vl_dclock_modern">
<BoundRect X="0" Y="0" Width="480" Height="138"/>
</Plugin>

and it works, with a clock that is as wide as the entire screen width in portrait mode (and you can change the bitmaps of the digits too).
Please note that I had to use the same file name for all "skin" (normal,middle and double).
This could be the reason your code didn't work.

Try using Class="Spb.LSP.DClock" instead, since the item id in the index.xml of va_dclock.dat is DClock (not ModernDClock).

Hi,

If anybody wants to kill the start taskbar and have full screen, just put this little app in (\Windows\StartUp folder).

This method doesn't work on M480 (Samsung PDA Phone)
