thanks for that!
just a little tweak to your wording to make it more clear, it confused me...

Unlock the SPB Menu so you can add and remove links as you wish.
Navigate to: HKLM>Software>Spb Software House 2>Menu>Root
In there you will find folders that correspond to the menu items in the SPB Menu. E.G: Internet
You need to go into the folder and add a DWORD value called "Add" with the value of "1".
Once this is done, go to SPB Menu and then click on the menu catagory you want to edit. Click the options button (bottom right) and you will now see 3 new buttons.

Released: VGA/WVGA version of ProPlus Elegance (go *HERE* for information and download link)

Please give your feedback. If anyone can help me with the Lifestyle layout registry entries for landcape in WQVGA, VGA and WVGA I would be grateful.

Enjoy, Mark.

And here for VGA:

No they have just been renamed to .zip so they can be posted here. Rename the files from .zip to .dat and then create the registry entries and make the appropriate additions to the qa_layouts.dat file.

unzipping a DAT file?

thanks for the post, but how do you unzip a dat file?

loftysnake said:
1. download MenuBarNull.txt
2. Rename MenuBarNull.txt to MenuBarNull.xml
3. unzip qa_layouts.dat into a folder
4. Copy MenuBarNull.xml into the same folder
5. change LockScreen.xml and LockScreen2.xml in the folder:
replace the line (at the beginning of the file)
<Layer Name="Menu" Dialog="MenuBar"/>
by <Layer Name="Menu" Dialog="MenuBarNull"/>
6. zip the folder to qa_layouts.dat
7. copy qa_layouts.dat to your mobile shell program directory and soft reset.

either rename it to .zip and then open it using winzip or you can just associate .dat files with winzip and then open them by double clicking on them the same as you would a zip file. Always remember to use the password: b0fm18zq when zipping or unzipping or it wont work.

Or use ShellExtension.exe...... ;-)

can we scroll lifestyle pages continuosly with "WidgetsProPlusUltimate_QVGA" ?

mskip said:
I know what you mean lol. The Pro Plus Elegance Theme that I posted on here earlier scrolls the Lifestyle screens continuously so page 7 goes back to page 1. Also I have put buttons above the MenuBar so every screen is selectable without having to swipe at all.

At the moment its only available for QVGA/WQVGA but I will most likely release it for VGA/QVGA in the next few days. I dont know what resolution your device is but look *HERE* for a preview of what it offers

i loved the lifestyle screen after putting the "WidgetsProPlusUltimate_QVGA" as the bottom menubar disappeared and the screen looked enlarged and widgets looked awesome.
i don't want to put "ProPlus Elegance" as this reduces my screen size again and i can have most of its new features with the old spb menu editor.

Could you please make a .CAB file for "WidgetsProPlusUltimate_QVGA" so that we could swipe all lifestyle pages in a continuos order without scrolling back to the first again ?
i hope, you understand what i mean to say..
Thanks !!!

I know what you mean. I will have a look at it but it should be easy enough to do. I was going to bring out an updated version of Ultimate anyway with the new widgets I have made so if its possible I will include that aswell

carl99 · Sep 11, 2009

Could you add the small version of the digital flip clock as well? If I remember correct its in jgjackson theme. As the poster above I prefer the old ultimate theme but with the new widgets. If I had'nt wrote it before - you did a fantastic job to tweak Mobile Shell!!

aypee3 · Sep 11, 2009

thanks a lot !!!

hi mskip, thanks for including my post in your response ...Waiting eagerly for the new updated version of Ultimate.

Will Widgets on WVGA

Will the widgets work on a WVGA display. I have the Sprint Touch Pro 2 and when I select the widget it doesn't display? Thanks for your help.

gfinockio · Sep 12, 2009

Any chance anyone could give me some advice on this issue?

What cab are you installing and are you soft resetting after the install finishes?

This may have been answered in the other 397 pages of this thread, but...

I am having an issue with my Mobile Shell "File Explorer" shortcuts. The "Storage Card" shortcut goes instead to my "Bluetooth Neighbourhood". Any chance there's an easy reg edit to point it instead to my "Storage Card"?

Have you tried reinstalling Mobile Shell?

Agreed! Infact, now that MS3Config can be used to change any background and edit the number of lifestyle pages, I would also suggest an update to the Pro Plus Basic 070809:
1. Strip the bottom Menu Bar of the 3 middle buttons.
2. Add the new continuous slide.
3. Add any new widgets.

The latest Elegance version is beautiful, but for me (and I guess it's all personal preference) I really miss being able to use the space in the bottom bar.

Thanks Mskip,

Mattster.
