I have an XDA Diamond (same as HTC Diamond)
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

Click to collapse
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.

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
2. Uninstall Spb Mobile Shell and soft reset your device
3. Install the latest version of Spb Mobile Shell (current version is 3.0.1)

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.

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

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

If anyone has any success on QVGA or WQVGA please let me know.
Hi alltogether,
i'm using mobilesense 3.5.3 on windows mobile 6.5.3 with spb mobile 3.5.5. I wonder if there is a way to assign the launcher button to open the standard windows mobile menue you get when you press the "windows" button in the home menue?
I've searched the forum for an answer but apparently i'm to stupid to get some usefull information.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english.

Hi,
This theme does not have simple method of assigning Launcher Button to execute other function, other than modifying program files through XML / Registry changes, which would be complicated.
Instead you can try another theme which has this function built in.
See if you like this beautiful theme by doc3000 & Mark - Droid Pro+ V2.2

Hope this helps.
Sorry for my late reply. Last week has been very busy.
I looked for the other theme and i will move to this solution. Its way easier to configure and has everything i want. Thanks for this.
