You mean you can use it without the 96dpi .cab? Be more specific please!(A)

Which Device do you have, and which ROM, and your screen resolution?

Thanks in advance!

It was nice..everything work fine.

The only thing i don't understand, why i cannot change the background?

And also how to re-arrange the widget position on homescreen?

For example i want to put the weather widget on today screen..but it always appear above the other widgets and i cannot move it..is there any suggestion?

Thanks in advance

Moving the widgets (REGISTRY)

1) Right soft key \ Add new widget

2) Start Registry Editor and pont to HKLM\Software\SPB Mobile Shell\Widgets

3) Determine the name of the current panel (in my case Weather Panel). Choose folder based on these rules:
Lifestyle Panel - HomeScreen
Application Panel - HomeScreen2
Music Panel - HomeScreen3
Weather Panel - HomeScreen4
Internet Panel - HomeScreen5

So my choice is Homescreen4.

4) Choose the folder with the maximum integer value, since tha newly added widget should be the last one.

(in my case 35)

5) So now in the Name field I got Analog Clock - so that's my widget.

6) Edit the _tl_320_240 field - that's the position field.

7) Value inside is HEX value (make sure you check the HEX check box) in the following format:
yyyxxx - where yyy are y values and xxx are x values
Bare in mind that 10 in HEX is 16 in decimal, so you don't get all confused.

you can't change the background 'cause the option's not working right now. i hope that someone will make it work and share. that was original point of this thread. positioning and rearanging is described and illustrated in the first post, you should read that, or try with the fake cursor. you can't do it easier 'cause you don't have touch screen

, but changing the registry keys is not as hard as it seems, trust me... btw which device and rom do you use?

yeah it works with out the 96dpi cab i have s620-dash tmo running 3VO 3.50 320x240 i see no reason to have it installed

Add my first post on this thread about Moving the Widgets to the First Thread!

Then you won't get any question about moving the Widgets! Maybe it's also easier to add some info about the project, what you did to port it and in which state of development it is, people can't further Develop this nice App if they don't know how you port and change it!

Well.. tried it on my Samsung GT-C6625 with WM6.1 and it doens't work without the 96dpi! Maybe it can on WM6.5 but I need to test that! Thanks for your feedback!

did you need the 96dpi.cab? So I can add your feedback to the 2th post!

but there is no option to go to options like programs, contacts, activesycn etc... there is only add widget, setting, change layout, change background and show today...

yes, we've removed the links to those options from the menu bar, since there's more room on the screen like this. if you want links to contacts, or any other option of the shell you can place it on any panel you want as a new shortcut.

if you don't know how to do that here's the link:

the solution is described in the post, it just need a little testing, i'm kind of short with the spare time at the moment, let's hope someone will make it work really soon.

thanks for the feedback.
