Anyone can help plz?

This has always worked well in version 3.0, but somehow doesn't work in version 3.0.1. What gives?

I agree.
For me, the weather pro's numbers go below the the border of the clock pro. Unless I use the regular weather widget and it's still not as good looking and spaced as the one in your screenshot. I have the CDMA Diamond.

Try looking at *THIS* thread for all you want to know about Modding Spb Mobile Shell 3.0.1
Also you could have a look at my WIDGETS PRO PLUS FOR QVGA\WQVGA
or WIDGETS PRO PLUS FOR VGA\WVGA which have different heights for the Weather Pro widget for the different size clocks.

The Pro Screen notification widgets are alot smaller footprint and so more can be fitted on the screen than with the Lifestyle notification widgets which take up alot more space.
On the Official SPB Mobile forums I came across this and how to get the Professional clock on the Lifestyle screen. I saw that someone asked how to center the time in the middle of the rectangle background and someone explained very vaguely how to do it but showed that whatever they did works.
They posted these instructions in a post but I do not understand where to even begin.
Change this lines in the index.xml of the ??_dclock_modern.dat:
Rect Name="TimeRect" X="0" Y="9" Width="220" Height="47"/>
Rect Name="DateRect" X="0" Y="59" Width="220" Height="14"/>
Int Name="TimeAlignX" Value="1"/>
Int Name="DateAlignX" Value="1"/>
* 220 is the width of the face.bmp

I see two files in my Mobile Shell folder called qlw_dclock_modern.dat and qpw_dclock_modern.dat but I can't find any "index.xml" file in which to edit those values in? What does it mean to "edit the index.xml of the dclock file"? Is the xml located inside the .DAT file somehow? An explanation would be much appreciated. Thanks.

You should really look at the thread I posted earlier. The index.xml file is located by extracting the contents of the dat file using a file compression program such as winzip or winrar and using the password b0fm18zq but you have to make sure you password the file with the same password when you re-zip it. If you have no idea what im going on about then read through the tips and tricks thread to gain some knowledge.

THANK you very much
htc Weather icons.
These have been cropped to 48px wide x 32px high, in order to fit on the current version .97
To put larger icons on screen, the app would need to place them using their top-left pixel as a locator, which I don't think it currently does.
Anyway, these work as they are:
and Medweather 23x23
There are tons on the SBSH site but you'll need to use Photoshop to batch convert them to png filetypes and keep the transparency.
One more.

Hi. First of all, don't judge me, because I'm new here.
My question is: How do I change the weather icons. I moved them to the weather files in gfx in S2U2 file. Soft-reseted, not nothing. My source of weather informations is SPB weather... CAN YOU HELP ME...
THANKS.
I also encounter the same problem. I overwrite the weather png files in s2u2 folder and the weather icons is gone on s2u2.
If your sourc is spb Weather...
these icon won't work.
spbWeather uses a single bmp file with a transparency channel laid alongside the icon images.
Pocket Weather and Weather Panel use individual icons.
For more spbWeather icons, you can go here:
http://www.spbclub.com/skins.php
You'll need to register to download them
Hi,
my sourceweather program is HTC Home but i'm not be able to use this icon set.
Can you give me some suggestion ?
Thank's in advance...
BYE, Bobo
Hi. I installed another pack of icons, but it only recognizes the default one. What can I do with the icons to make it recognise them?

Once I've downloaded the icons I like to have from there, I noticed inside the zip file for the themes within Spb weather it shows two lines of icons side by side in a single bmp file how would I go about making these show on S2U2?
Thanks in advance
They should be in the gfx\weather folder
and it should just show, as long as you've selected spb as your weather source in the S2U2 Settings application.
So I should just copy the zip files over into gfx\weather or should I extract them first?
The file called...
weather.bmp should be extracted and inside the \gfx\weather folder
If you're i8n any doubt, uninstall S2U2 and re0install from the .cab file. All files will be re-instated in their corect positions, including the spb icons

If you use HTC Home Customizer you are able to add a new iconset to the HTC Home Plugin. Some of the downloaded iconsets will also change the icons used for S2U2. Don't know why, but it works!

YouTube Video (preview and installation instructions): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQ1gY2HMNFU (Pro Screen has been changed since the vid was made)
This is a complete redesign of Mobile Shell to make it as customiseable and accesseable as possible with all the widgets and mods from Widgets Pro Plus. Every Lifestyle Screen is selectable by use of the Bar at the bottom or by swiping left or right across the screen.
MSkip ProPlus Elegance
Contains too many widgets to count:
PLUS 7 selectable Lifestyle screens instead of the standard 3
PLUS 3 buttons on the Weather, Task Manager, Wireless Manager, Contacts Carousel and Change Backlight Screens
PLUS a 3 button menu on the Pro and Lifestyle Screens on Portrait Mode and 5 buttons on the Pro Screen in Landscape Mode
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.
PLUS I added a 9th panel in the Spb Menu Screen called Spb Menus which contains 10 spb mobile shell shortcuts that can be selected as application links to be placed on the screen if desired.
PLUS The screens can be continously scrolled now so you can go from screen 7 straight to screen 1 with a single left swipe
PLUS I added a Bar at the bottom (just above the MenuBar) which you can use to select exactly which screen you want to jump to without having to scroll through all the screens to get there
To use the Buttons or Backing Panels: Select the button or panel you want and place it on the screen, then select the icon or widget you want ontop of it and move it ontop of the button. If the button is ontop then when you press it you will get the clock come up.
To use the Invisible Link Widget: Select Invisible Link (medium or small) from the widgets list, then select the program you wish it to be associated with. You can then place it over an existing widget or on any part of the screen so that when you click on that area the link will run. Its totally invisible but the size must NOT be changed or the link will become visible.
To add Spb Menus to the screen: Select Menu (bottom right button) and Add Widget. Select Application from the Shortcuts section then click on the Spb Menus Folder and select one of the available shortcuts you want to place on the screen.
History:
* ProPlus Elegance VGA 092409 - Added Calendar Pro and renamed the calendars so they are the same as the guide. Made pro background compatable with my standard qa_fundotela files for changing the background. Added custom background for the rest of the screens (qa_fundotela2.dat).
* ProPlus Elegance QVGA 092309 - Added BackingPanelMediumGrey2 (with rounded corners). Made pro background compatable with my standard qa_fundotela files for changing the background. Added custom background for the rest of the screens (qa_fundotela2.dat).
* ProPlus Elegance QVGA AND VGA 091809 - Added (Xperia Backgound Image, Xperia Clock Large, Weather Pro with Side Text, Weather Pro with No Text)
* ProPlus Elegance QVGA 091609 - Fixed Small Metal Backing Panel, Fixed Digital Clock Large and Digital Clock Small.
TO AVOID PROBLEMS SUCH AS THE WIDGETS OR NOTIFICATIONS NOT SHOWING PLEASE ONLY INSTALL THIS ON A CLEAN VERSION OF MOBILE SHELL!!
Install Procedure:
1. Uninstall any extra cabs or addons you have installed for Spb Mobile Shell

Note (Changing Custom Backgrounds on Pro Screen and other screens):
To change the Pro Background, rename the file to qa_fundotela.dat and copy to Spb Mobile Shell folder.
To change Background on the other screen (except Lifestyle and Pro) rename the file to qa_fundotela2.dat and copy to Spb Mobile Shell folder.
Always restart Mobile Shell after copying for it to take affect.
Do the following to make your own custom background dat file.
1. Rename any of the custom backgrounds in the zip file to qa_fundotela.zip
2. Unzip to a folder using the password: b0fm18zq
3. Make 2 backgrounds to use as follows:
For QVGA version (240x400 saved as Background.bmp and 400x240 saved as BackgroundL.bmp)
For VGA version (480x800 saved as Background.bmp and 800x480 saved as BackgroundL.bmp)
4. Move the 2 new background files into the folder you made in step2 (overwriting the originals)
5. Zip the 3 files back up with password protection (using password: b0fm18zq)
6. Rename the new file to qa_fundotela.dat (for pro screen) or qa_fundotela2.dat (for all others) and copy to your Spb Mobile Shell folder on your phone (overwriting the original)
7. Soft Reset your phone
VARIATIONS ON POST2 (QVGA, WQVGA) AND POST3 (VGA, WVGA)
Note 1: You might have trouble changing the background on the lifestyle screen. A solution provided by degavi is to first select the image you want then go in to the spb mobile shell folder and delete the background.dat file. Restart mobile shell and your desired image will appear.
Note 2: To Backup your screens layout for future restoration. Using a Registry Editor export the (HKLM, Software, Spb Software House 2, Spb Mobile Shell, Widgets) Folder. It will back up all 7 screens and your spb favorites contacts. BEFORE restoring your registry backup, delete the previous registry folder so there is no chance of anything being left that could interefere with your restoration.
If you enjoy using anything that I have created please consider making a donation even if its a very small amount. I have spent ALOT of time on this project so appreciation of my work is very welcome.
PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK SO IMPROVEMENTS CAN BE MADE OR JUST LET ME KNOW IF IT WORKED OR NOT AND THE RESOLUTION OF YOUR DEVICE. THANKS.

Wow!!
Looking forward to a VGA/WVGA version........
No Luck on my WQGVA Omnia. Uninstalled Everything I had previously installed (MS3, and your Ultimate Package), Deleted "SPB Mobile Shell" in my Program Files and even deleted the "SPB Mobile Shell" Registry File (Something I've never had to do in the Past) all to no avail.
Everything else on my device works great but MS3 just kinda freezes. It looks as though my device is not fully starting but when I Close MS3 through everything else works perfectly. I can open it again from my start menu but it just mimics my start menu but everything is frozen unless I open programs through my start menu or close MS3.
Still LOVING your Ultimate version but thought I'd let you know what I had discovered so far. Thank You again for all your time and Work MSkip

Hopefully it will be done by the weekend
Can't seem to get this working on my Trinity (HTC P3600 - QVGA) with freshly flashed 6.5 ROM (see my signature).
Have tried three times on but with no luck.
I have ensured there is no spb folder on my storage card as well.
Lifestyle page freezes on clock page.
Has anybody had success on a Trinity with 6.5 rom?
Mattster.
Windows 6.5
This looks great but it appears that it doesn't work on windows 6.5, I'm running TPC V11 Chumpstyle and I can get both the mobile shell and the titianum toady screen to work great together but as soon as I install this neither will load, it just boots up to a blank today page and becomes very slow to respond. Once I uninstall it and reinstall mobile shell both will work fine again. Any ideas on how to make this work? By the way I have a TyTN II straight from HTC if that matters.
Works great on my Omnia.Thanks.

When I was testing it on my QVGA tytn2 (yes I know I need a better phone lol) it only froze up if I didnt soft reset the phone after installing the cab. If you are soft resetting and its still freezing Mobile Shell then theres obviously something wrong with the cab. I have done extensive testing on my phone and it seems to work perfectly but its very hard catering for all phones and different resolutions when you cant test on them. As soon as I get some more money in I will buy a WQVGA and WVGA phone so I can test my cabs properly before releasing them but I dont have the funds right now so all I can sugest it if you are installing on a totally fresh version of Mobile Shell 3.0.1 (must be the latest version) and soft resetting afterwards and its still freezing then leave it a few days untill I have a chance to debug it properly.
If anyone has a WQVGA device and a bit of knowledge to help me fix these problems then I would be grateful
Best From The Best
Thanks Mskip

Glad it worked for you, what phone do you have and what resolution is it so I can work out what works and what doesnt.
You can quite safely delete the widget dat files that you dont use to save on space. To delete them from the widget list you will need to remove them from the registry too (HKLM, software, spb software house 2, spb mobile shell, widget list) but if you dont want to goto all that trouble then just delete the dat files.
I will make up a list of all my widgets today if I can with a picture next to it so everyone knows what widget does what without having to go through them all to find the one you want.
shell freezes
sad to say it still freezes ms shell . i have done everything u said mskip but it still freezes .
egerly waiting fore a workable wqvga version
thanks in advance

Nice.. Really love the battery status.
Thanks
QVGA please, Thanks.
Hey adioph,
upload your qa_layouts.dat file from the SPB Mobile Shell folder, and ill see what i can do about QVGA.
edit: nvmd, got it working
hmm, thats weird, i have a Touch HD, so your device and mines should be pretty similar, also nothing was done to alter the original functionality of MS3.5 as all the orignal widgets etc remains. Will look into it though, thanks.
great widgets btw, thanks. one thing though, is there a reason you branded the battery meter with mh widgets 1.0??? honestly, would much rather see the date up there.
was thinking of gettin the weather widget up there, currently working on it, was also thinking about putting the date / alarm up there. so you guys can have a few options.
Look out for Date, and Alarm versions tomorow.
wow.. good work mate..love the battery status

another LNK plz
Awesome!
I love what you did with SPB3.5. Too bad, I am not a SPB fan, but this does look really nice. Great ideas with Tasks and Agenda, the clock.
hmm...I may have to buy SPB, so I can enjoy this.
Thanks man.
Hey guys, i dont know if it works on the other resolutions, only tested on WVGA,
you cant try installing it on the other devices and see if it works, and let me know.
Backup your qa_layouts.dat file in the spb mobile shell directory before testing.
If it does not work on your device, unintall the cab via "remove programs" and then restore your backed up qa_layouts.dat
------------------------
As for the other resolutions, the graphics files would need to be completely redone to match the resolution of the device, please provide the "qa_layouts.dat" file and specify the resolution. And ill see what i can do about a conversion. First come First Serve, so qvga is first .
Also i want to make sure there is no bugs etc with the WVGA version before i start churning out the other resolutions. Also working on a design to acomodate the default lifestyle skin of the notification icons.
will be trying this. the battery on the time looks lovely and I'm vga
Sick and tired of doing a ton of searches. All i need is a app that can help me change my orginal icons using png files in windows mobile 6.1
helpppppppppppppppppppppppp
Try these two applications:
1- CSMI simple and yet easy to use. Click HERE
2- JWMD Icon Changer for more options and theme saving etc. Click HERE

These two don't work IN A VGA WINDOWS MOBILE 6.1
Hi vipaman
I know it's not an answer but 6.1 is really old and your choices are very limited
So no other way????
IconXT
If you want to just change folder icons, try using IconXT, I've been using it for years, and it works well.
Here's a Link: http://www.jdhsoftware.com/products/iconxt/
Here are the 5 icon changers I use;
vxShortcut; http://www.cam.com/vxshortcut.html
Pro: optional Command Line
Con: Default location can only handle x icons, thus Program Files\ needs to be added before adding massive shortcuts
SK Shortcut manager; http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?sksmgr/m_sksmgr.html
LnkMgr; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=646211
Shortcut Creator; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=275577
Use icons of *.EXE / *.GIF / *.PNG via IconHelper
_Create an exe file with an embedded image as icon: PNG2EXE
Hope this helps,

Browsing through the 4pda.ru forum i found a nice optimus weather and clock for S2U2 posted by JambazZi and decided to use it on my device. Sadly, weather widgets were not numbered correctly and they were a bit too stretched with a distorted appearance, so i thought i'd make one of my own straight from the original optimus widgets and share it with you guys. After applying the files to gfx folder, set clock alignment to the left, choose option 1 time format and set today's weather forecast to Touch Flo 3D. Lang file provided in the folder contains the modification to DefaultTimeFormat1, needed for the clock to be aligned with the weather widget. I named the clock clockD but you can replace any clock you want or add it as a new clock as long as you modify the lang.ini file. Remember to save file in UNICODE when modifying the lang file and don't save it as text, but "all files" option. Thanks to 4pda.ru & xda-developers member Yurik , who provided me with the original optimus widgets. You can use any wallpaper you like, weather widgets' canvas is transparent. Here's a few screenshots, if you like my work, just hit the thanks button
P.S. Please backup your weather, lang.ini file and clock if you are replacing one of your previous clocks, in order to get back to your initial settings if something goes wrong. Safest way is to edit your personal lang.ini file to have this line, instead of using my lang.ini file, cause you might have different settings for slider, text, etc: s_DefaultTimeFormat1=______':'HH__':'mm
Thanks to torickray who modified the weather icons you can now use it with IPTweather too. Just download his weather files from here
Thanks to bismuth89 for providing (w)qvga version. Download qvga files from here and wqvga from here
S2U2 Optimus weather-clock

Did u set the time format to option 1 and choose clock font folder clockD ? Clock alignment must be set to left. Are you using Touch Flo 3D ? Did you update weather in Touch Flo ? Make sure you actually replaced the files and not just adding mine and leaving the originals there. Delete the original weather folder and the original clockD folder and then copy mine in the gfx folder. Also delete the lang settings and then copy mine. Make a backup of your files first, in case you want to get back to your settings.

Unfortunately i only own a Blackstone which is WVGA, but JambazZi from 4pda.ru has a wqvga version, you can use his and see if it works well on your device. Here are the files. The lang file is in russian, but you can modify your lang file, instead of using his. All you need to do is modify DefaultTimeFormat1 to the one in his file and add a new clock to option 6 called optimus, i think his clock is called optimus. Or just rename clock to one of the already existing clocks clock/, clockD, clockS, whatever. Hope that helps. His WVGA didn't work for me. If it was shiny outside, i got a windy widget. Maybe his wgvga version is numbered correctly. Try it and let me know, if icons are not numbered correctly you might need to rename them to suit the actual weather outside.
P.S. @ mad_a_22 : read your private message on the forum.

Is your phone WVGA ? Post a screenshot please. You might need to resize the weather icons to fit the screen. The weather is designed to be used with Touch Flo 3D, guess it might work with other weather tools as long as it is scaled correctly. What weather program are you using ?
Yes, WVGA - OmniaII. I'm using IPTweather, mort scripts to modify registry. Maybe you have right, that modification of icons are needed.
I haven't used any third party weather application in S2U2. Send me a link to the icon pack you used before and a screenshot to see where exactly they were positioned, i might be able to edit the optimus icons to appear correctly for your IPTweather tool.

It's hard for me to guess the exact size of the icons used by other weather applications and where exactly they appear on your screen, since i only used HTC default weather i made the icons to fit to the weather provided by the TouchFlo. You should try and crop or enlarge the icons' canvas in order for the clock to appear in the white panels.

ahhh, it's beautiful! weather images look great on HD2, thank you, Sp1tfire! but there's one problem with time, digits are moved to the left more then they have to be. check it out on the screenshot. I've made everything in settings according to the first post. how can I fix this?

Time format should look like in the screenshot below and lang file must contain this line:
s_DefaultTimeFormat1=______':'HH__':'mm
Sp1tfire,
yes, that was the problem.. thank you. I've copied lang.ini to gfx folder together with clock and weather images.. such a shame..
but now something new appeared, see the screen, please. It's concerning lang.ini, as far as I understand, but I haven't backuped the old one to correct yours.

Hmm, i don't use the text in these 2 lines in my lang file.
s_CS2UText=
s_S2UText=
Mine it's blank. Probably original S2U2 text was "slide to unlock" for s_S2UText and "unlock" for s_CS2UText (without quotation marks)
typed "unlock", made some settings changes, now everything is on it's places , looks perfect! you ROCK! thanx!
