I could be wrong here, but as I understand things SPB is a shell that sits on top of WM and takes over many of the normal functions of the O/S. You would either use the native O/S for most of the device functionality and just have SPB in a limited form on the WM Today screen or, use SPB to provide most of the menu-type functionality in its own shell...which doesn't feature a Start button.
In other words, you can have WM with the Start button or SPB without the start button, but not both.

What I need is just to have a button in spb layout ( with every kind of icon .. I used the windows flag..., able to launch a program, in the detail "quickmenu"
How could I do it ? This is the great problem

you could create a shortcut linking to: "\program files\Spb Mobile Shell\MenuLauncher.exe" -cmd:"\SOFTWARE\Spb Software House 2\Spb Mobile Shell\Menu\Root\Programs"
(you can create a specific shortcut very easily with Total Commander)
Once you have this shortcut you can launch it to get the programs from start menu in the spb mobile shell interface. If you now integrate this link/button in your spb mobile shell theme, you will have access to all you programs.
It's not really what you requested, but it's a workaround...
good luck

I wan't to configure some plugins on the Spb Mobile Shell 2.0 now screen!
But when i go to Spb Mobile Shell 2.0 -> Settings -> Advanced -> Now Screen
to customize Now screen I only get "No Plugins installed" and that is ofcause not the case! - I got alot
Has anyone any idea whats wrong here?
Thanks...
Nothing wrong
You only get to play with plug-ins if you have something like spbWeather or spbPhoneSuite installed
What about...
Thanks for the info! But maybe not the answer i was hoping to get
Anyway... How do i get my tasks/appointments to show in the Now screen?
Another thing...!
What about hakking Mobile Shell 2.0 to accept 3.part. Plugins?
Is that possible?
you can't use other 3rd party plugins in the Now screen except for those supported by SPB Software like their very own SPB PhoneSuite etc. otherwise it'll be the calendar and alarm that can be displayed on the Now screen.
is there any posibility to add a shortcut to S2U2 on today screen
a "lock" button like the speaker,or to modify the speaker icon and shortcut to S2U2 ?
thx
I know there is a My Menu in SPB Mobile Shell 2.1. But there is also a blank space that in some cases I've seem a Games menu added, well, I'd like to have an Office tab for Office 2007 and for other MoNotes stuff, etc.
Can someone please show the forum how to do this?

thanx reaper but that wasn't what i asked.
my question is how to change the default app that the links in the NOW screen refer to......
like i said, how do i change the NOW screen to open some other calendar other than the default one?
thanx for your time though

i really dont think thats possible.
i think in fact its one of the few flaws in SPB MS
either way.. u should have used the search tool as mentioned
I apologize, I mis-understood your question.
However, i don't think you can use other 3rd party plugins in the now screen except for SPB products like PhoneSuite, SPB weather etc..
see spb shell forum
they have a cab file that allowed me to open webis pocket informant from the now screen. i don't remember if it works with other apps...
Not possible...
I'm looking for it a long time, and what you want isn't possible (i'm playing with the register to find the links and stuff).
The only thing i could create, some register tricks so you can customize every menu and LNK files..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415765
I'm working on cab-files and making LNK files with icons, but for now:
Working on exams on school.
Check this registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCALENDAR]
"0"="Calendar"
"1"=":MSPOUTLOOK contacts"
Change the value of 1 to point to the Calendar application you want. Doesn't change the Mobile Shell hooks, but it does change the Calendar called from the Start menu.
maybe not working for every PIM manager, but at least some of them:

Hey folks,
I am still playing around with my new baby and am loving it ;-)
I have been using SPB Mobile Shell for months on my Polaris and like it very much, though TF3D looks nice for sure, but I am simply not used to it yet.
Anyway, which are the best and easy to use tools for customizing (change tab order etc.) on your HDs? I already got myself Weather Database Editor for adding my city to the accu weather database and it worked just fine.
A thing that I am missing right now, is a kinda finger friendly "Settings" tab like there is one in Mobile shell, that makes accessing every setting quiet easy with your fingers.
Any suggestions?

Sadly, Spb Mobile Shell does not work properly on the HD. Dropdown menus do not function, so it cannot be set up to your personal liking. Spb say that they will look into it at some time in the future.
The basic functions of the shell will work, and you can switch to it by installing SecondToday.

'tis true the drop-down menus don't drop down ... but if you're prepared to fiddle you can get the drop-down to scroll to your preferred setting. Click in the drop-down menu to highlight the first choice and then use the up-arrow and down-arrow cursor keys on the soft keyboard to scroll through the options that would normally drop down. When your preferred option appears, tap Enter on the keyboard. I've used this to set up Spb Mobile Shell 2 on the Touch HD. Still, it's worth learning TF3D.
Am I crazy in thinking TouchFlo looks much better than SPB MS ?
because I do !!!
Hi
I’m using the free SBP panel on my X1 and I noticed that when I activate this panel, there’s no more drop-down for the standard task manager. I use the TM quite often and I really do need it tough I’d also like to use the SBP panel. So is there a way to make the dropdown for the standard task manager in the upper right of the screen appear again?

I am experiencing this too. Any Help please?
Thanks!
Yeye, I'm still waiting for help as well
SPB has acknowledged this is an issue and is working on a fix. According to what I am reading, they cannot do updates as fast on OEM type partnerships due to all the red tape they have to go through with Sony. In a couple of threads over on their forum, there are a couple of people that have hinted to there being an update soon but still waiting on Sony. Also, this will not be the only fix in the update.
Thanks for the info m8 I'll try and find their forum then...
there is a way but u will loose default today screen. if u use spb shell primarily u can use this trick.
1. create shortcut link of moblie shell from programme files and sent to windows
start menu. u can use resco explorer for this.
2. now mobile shell link should be in windows/start menu/programs
3. copy this mobile shell link in windows/startup folder.
now when u reboot your phone it will boot directly to spb shell and fully functional task manager.
note spb soft keys would be relplaced by today soft keys .
