Batti - has it been optimized for 6.1?
I've seen some posts where people have batti and it has a vista like rainbow look and feel.
Is there a way to change the app so you can put the bar on the bottom? Someone want to update the app to do that?
I know it's not Batti, but it's not this one you're seeing is it?

It does the same job as Batti, has the rainbow colours you mentioned and it definitely works in WM6.1 (it's built into some ROMs).

You'll need to edit your theme somehow.

check their forums for available themes
Desktop
Yeah, my Start menu is on the bottom, Vista Mobile, + all of the standard windows icons, so it is like XP/Vista (used both styles of icons, so it is a mix ) desktop. That was with that WISBar Advance, and desktop...
Hi guys'
Attached are two new skins, one for rlToday and UltimateLaunch and one full screen skin for rlToday. Give me some feedback as to whether you like them or not. I'm working on a couple of more skins. Post #1 contains the zip for the full screen skin and post #2 is for rl and UL.

Weather
Uauuuuuuh
I'ts beautifull your weather panel.
What is this weather plugin? I like it so much!!
titiriterodescerebrado
The weather plugin is Weatherpanel, with PhatPhinger I theme and PhatPhinger QVGA icons. I'm glad you like it!
Great looking set-up
Those look great, especially the home screen....... looking forward to the other skins you are working on......
Could you give us a run-down on what you have on your device? Especially the battery/memory meters and your top bar "color" icons. Those are just what I've been looking for!
dug_bondo
The battery and memory meters are metrix2. I pulled the images from the plugin, reworked them and did away with the little pellets. The topbar is Wisbar Advance2 with the Vistamobile theme. Metrix2 and the Vista theme for Wisbar are free and available on this site. Wisbar Advance is available at Lakeridge.com. If you decide to use Metrix2 and you like my icons, I'll upload them here for you to use.

Improved 3D carousel design (e. g. added reflections)
New skins for most widgets
Color themes support on Windows Mobile 6.5
Facebook & twitter widgets
Internet search
Option to change the number of screens in lifestyle or professional layouts

Thanks for the POST. Been looking for this. THANKS again.
Erm... surely this is warez?

yes, they seem to like warez on this site.
WHat ROM are you using this on? Is there any benefit to using a 6.5 rom with this, or may as well go back to a stock rom?
Cheers.
I am using Valkyrie v3.9 XPERIO, definitely you get benefits of 6.5 along with spb. I used spb 3 with earlier ROMs of 6.1 & 6.5 & experience was awesome.
Cheers
PS : It is a trial version.

Not really... you can find it here too:
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pocketpc-software/mobileshell/
And download a trial:
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pocketpc-software/mobileshell/download.html
When you choose cab install, you get the same file as the link provided above here....
Without a license it works only for 30 days, so it's not warez. When you use or provide a serial (for Mobile Shell 3, which still work), then it's warez.
Very true!
Thanks Gwystyl for posting clarification for the members having doubts.
Thanks for the clarification. I've tried it out, and it does not seem to offer a huge amount extra over SPB 3.0 panel, which is freely available elsewhere. I'm gonna stick to that
Can this be set as a separate panel, i.e., not a skin for the Windows 6.5 Home Panel? I mean like the initially introduced Korean version was a separate panel, can this version be set the same way?
I just love it - it's 100 times better than any Manila. After i installed it for me Manila with it's bugy Leo is dead.

What free 3.0 panel? Is this the modded korean one?

Yes, I believe that's what he is talking about.
Been using 3.5 for a day now and I definitely like it better than the modded Korean 3.0 version. However, from my point of view, these are the cons:
1. Consumes about 20% more resources, leading to faster battery drain.
2. Lack of individual panel. I hope there will be a fix for this soon.

I totally agree. To be honest, Manilla, with it's near lack of customization is becoming archaic. But I bet versions will soon be as customizeable as SPB MS. Till then, bit hard for me to understand why people would choose it over SPB MS.

Hey... Gr8 theme thr.. .. I also wanted to run SPB shell but then general opinion is that it is a big memory hog.. What about it..?? Do you experience any slow downs or app crahses while running it..?? I normally run 4-5 apps at a time ( max 6 ).. will this be a problem..??..
Currently i am using Condor GT Black running on WinMo 6.5.3..!!
Thisd is mine:
I tried SPB its quick but uses too much memory you are left with around 40 mb after spb + mods and can only run 2-3 apps at once (assuming one is a web browser)
Could you share the link to this? i like its simplicity

I am assuming you are asking me ( ) .. lol..
Anyways, here is the link to the forum CGT Black Edition .. It's an awesome theme and i used it without any plugins for some time.. Looks absolutely gorgeous on Omnia 2's sexy display..!!..
The today plugin i am using is from Resco Explorer which also allows you to add as many shortcuts as you like on the homescreen, and defaults at showing the RAM, CPU, Battery and a Task manager..
The other plugin is of Lookout which is an Antivirus + Firewall + Cloud storage app..!!

That is mine, ha ha.
I not using PointUI with PointSense quite a long time, that project seems dead already.
PointUI - pointsense is smooth if only you don't add too much widget and page, it still quite buggy actually, that the reason I stop using it, waste my money that time buying the PointUI, a dead product.
lol. I just noticed the weather and the carrier is the same as yours now. I just snagged it off a website as I was too lazy to screencap mine. ppl are still working on that theme. It works ok for me as I only have 3 pages. I was using spb ms with mobilesense but it seemed to take up way too much ram. I may jut got the chome today screen modding instead.

hi I'm currently using spb shell 3.5 but I saw that there are very beautiful skin also for wad2. so my question is which is better between this two program??? i saw spb shell is more expensive than wad, but I want an opinion from those who have used their which is the most customizable? which is the lightest at the startup?
thanks a lot
I used both. Each of them can be customized and there are plenty of themes floating around for both of them (a bit more themes for wad). I sticked to spb mobile shell cause it seemed a bit faster on my device (HTC Touch HD WM 6.1) and i think it's more eye-candy than wad

THROTTLE LAUNCHER is too heavy... spb is much faster becouse my viva doesn't have the 3d graphical accelerator, the cpu have 264 Mh and little ram, so it work slow (very slow) but i really like it

SPB MObile Shell cannot be customized very easily, and one cannot create new widgets. Throttle Launcher is very easy to customize and also new widgets can be created easily.

going back to the main question: WAD is very good customizable but SPB mobile shell is faster.
I have been forced to live SenseUI free and have returned to some of my old skinning apps that I used pre-Sense. One of those is Wisbar Advance, made by Lakeridge who also makes WAD.
My recent experience with Lakeridge is they are dead. I made a few posts there and received no replies. My last post was a request for updated skinning info which has been there, unanswered, for more than a week. The forum is flat, there is no support there anymore and no one is skinning it anymore. Worse, all the links to old skins are all dead. Only a small pittance of skins that have been posted to Lakridge's forums are still available for it.
Because of this I created a skin myself, ironically enough. I actually released it today. Its here. Gratuitous plug: here is the promo flyer for it. But, I think no one is interested given the lack of activity around Lakeridge's site itself.
So a big caution with WAD. Its a dead end. Personally I've never liked WAD, I found it very buggy, but this was like 2 years ago. I have always liked Wisbar Advance though, and used it extensively before I got a HD2 and Sense.
That is not to say that SPB is any better, though. The difference is SPB abandoned their customers long ago, so nothing much is different. See the conversation I had with Vostradamus in his thread towards the end. Maybe because of this, the skinning community for Mobile Shell is very much alive here at XDA.
Now that I have been using Mobile shell for a few months, I have to say, thanks to the great artists at XDA, I find I like Mobile Shell far more than I like SenseUI. I will never be going back.
i like both...especially SPB mobile shell
