spb mobile panel customization? - XPERIA X1 General

hi,
cant seem to find a help for it..
can the panel be customized as per the SE panels? blocks etc

anyone pls?

I am also looking for a way to customize the SPB panel. Cant find anything about it. Only way to make a customized SPB is by installing SPB mobile shell 2.1 and install any WVGA skins on the phone.
But i noticed a performance issues when i did that. SPB panel is diffidently utilized for xperia and it runs very fast.

you can customise it via one of the settings screen on the Settings panel however it is pretty basic.
Having said that I am fairly impressed with the shell - it is just a shame it is not the full blown mobile panel.

I believe you can customize it the same way you customize spb mobile shell full. U just have to make the images the right sizes. I installed Greatbal's wvga theme but the images were slightly off.

hi, when i go to install the spb shell it tells me that the previous one must be unistalled first. The only other spb i have is the spb panel. If i install the shell will it uninstall the panel?

Yes, it uninstalls the panel, but you can then use the SBP Menu on Panel 1 and on the fish panel also. I currently use it this way, works very well.

Wisbar vs SPB Mobile Shell

I have been using Torx's iphone theme via WAD3 and WAD. I am fooling around with SPB Mobile Shell, but have not figured out how to customize it as easily as I can with Wisbar stuff via Author mode.
Just curious of opinion on who thinks which one is better and why?
Thanks!
Both applications are completely different. Wisbar wont have animations while switching pages on Desktop. Mobile Shell cannot spread icons the way you want. So choose what is important for you or have both!
In my opinion both are not adviced for Pro WinMo users..
Why wouldn't you advise it? I love my Wisbar and WAD. And recently I've tried SPB Mobile Shell because of the Diamond theme (seems to be the next hype, same way it was with iPhone themes)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I am also trying mobile shell - what is the difference between the Now and Today screens? I am guessing you disable the Today screen by unchecking everything?
Thanks
I have found that SPB Mobile Shell drains the battery faster than just plain HTC Home, which is really sad as I love the Diamond theme...
If you want animation(mobile shell benefit) on transition pages..wait for WAD2(animation added) to be out..it will beat mobile shell for sure
WAD vs. SPB Shell
WAD is a application replacing your default WM today screen. You have to add the shortcuts to the apps you want (you can make it Finger Friendly).
SPB Shell is as it says a shell around WM so all the shortcuts are available. It's Finger Friendly and has some nice extra stuff in it. It's not skinnable by default (just minor different looks), but some people here at XDA have managed to create some great skins.
Today vs. Now
Today is the standard WM desktop
Now is a overview page in SPB Shell (with time, weather, appointments, email, sms and missed calls)
Yea, with WAD, and WA3 together, its almost like giving your phone's OS a makeover. I like WAD better but until I finish making a good theme, I'll be using SPB Mobils shell most likely
Both Work Well Together on o2 XDA Flame
Using both - WHY - Like the startup screen & easy system settings - and like the menu's of WAD - Maybe someone will develop both in one - and yes, it's like a full makeover ! The Flame does have lots of internal storeage space & a Nvida vid card - Come on xda developers - lets see something in the future

SPB Mobile Shell Panel Background?

Any one know how to change the background of the SPB Mobile Shell Panel?
Or The SE Panel 1 and 2?
I just really dont like the plain boring backgrounds that are available for the SE panels and i cant change the background at all with SPB
i can with the today panel but it doesnt offer what these have
there must be a file for the background that you can simply change no?

Skinning SPB Mobile Shell Panel

I wondered if this was possible and it definitely is. It seems that you can not get rid of the Top bar. I used some wvga files and it did change the look but of course it was messed up because of the top bar. I figured it was time to start up a thread for all those lovely people who take the time to skin spb mobile shell.

delete the panel that can't be deleted, how?

Hi
is it possible to remove ALL panels that is "installed" in the phone, I just want to use SPB Mobile Shell but sometimes the stupid phone change to the Sony Ericsson panel automatic.. I use xperia tweak, when I start the phone it's SPB Mobile Shell panel but after a while it's Sony Ericsson panel... so I want to remove the last panel also... thanks!
The last "panel" is just the Window Mobile Today screen. This can't be uninstalled, although you could just buy SPB Mobile Suite which replaces it.
but why does it change back to that panel after I have chosen the SPB panel? very annoying..

SPB Mobile Shell 3 as a seperated Panel?

Hey is it possible to use SPB Mobile Shell 3 as an own panel beside the normal today screen?
As far as I know there is no possibility to install SPB Ms 3.0 as a panel yet. But do more research before you believe my comment : )
