Skin Help!! - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Is anyone familiar with Rainmeter for Windows.
I know you guys are incredible with skinning phones and pda's but I am learning simple skinning with windows still.
I have a program called Rainmeter and I have this specific skin that keeps me up to date with stocks I plug into it. My dilemma is I can only get the top 4 to work which is the default script but when I add my other 10-11 stock tickers they don't work.
Can anyone help me? I have both the original and edited .ini script files for anyone willing to take a look and help.

wow
i
see
i came to the wrong place to ask for help

Can't be of a better help, but your best bet is to read the stickies at the topic, then use the search function, and finally go to this link (Questions and Answers) and post your question there.

.CAB editor

where can i get .cab editor? so that i can extract some files inside that cab. thx
you really would go along way searching this forum and google since piles of people ask the very same things
http://www.google.dk/search?hl=da&ie=UTF-8&q=.CAB+editor&btnG=Google-søgning
rudegar, at least point in the right direction. I think the results of your query wont get anyone near a wince cab editor.
www.ocpsoftware.com does :wink:
I'd love to hear from a freeware cab editor though (my trial is over on 1 pc . . .)
well, technically he asked for a .Cab editor not a CE .Cat Editor edsub !

Agreed, but from the context of this forum double_ofour isn't really likely to want a windows .CAB editor
Thought we were here to help Rudegar
we are here to help
but sometimes you feel that if you give a man
a fish he can eat for a day but if you teach him how to fish for himself
he can eat every day
and editing cab files have been a few times in the forum that i know
so i can do the forum search for people or i can
tell them the wonders of the search function and if they then
try it out and they get great results they can search for many other things they may like to find
if one just post questions and don?t use the search
and the people who have some info don?t see the post
before it get pushed out of the scope
then help will never arrive
which is a shame really
so my reply was not an grumpy reply even though I can see why some may have seen it as such
What the hell happening here!! well better cancel this topic. Just calm down you all. It's better to seacrh first that to post. SORRY GUYS, ill never post a topic that was already discussed.
I know sometimes it's hard to tell the tone and peoples response when it's in writing on the internet and all but I can assure you I?m perfectly calm
I wrote what I wrote to help
And I didn?t blame people for responding to my mail in the ways they did
Just tried to explain my post in the other post
And I don?t think you should avoid asking posts ever that have been asked before
If nobody did that this forum would probably be static since most questions have been discussed at out point or another
When I wrote it I was just in a bit of a hurry so I didn?t have the time to find the link
And believed that a little help was better then no help at all
Sorry If people felt that I did it in a improper way
no need to close or remove this thread in my opinion
HHHHmmmmmmmm.......... Thank You Mr.Rudegar...
is there a freeware which works like WinCE CAB Manager?

IPhone skin theme help, please!!!!!!!!

I have a verizon 6700. I have been trying to download everything I need all day. I have tried different peoples programs, and it doesnt seem to be working. Maybe i didnt drop things in the right folder or something. I have no idea right now. If ANYONE can help me, I'll be up all night until I get it right.. Every thing from the home screen to the icontacts, to the sms chat, to the s2p, to the pixsel browser..all of it isnt working right. I guess I need step by step instructions for my phone. Thanks in advance, my friends...

I don't see it. I also don't know where to contact that guy.
Post in that thread...
I understand its your 2nd post here..but like everyone is told, please read the FAQs and everything before posting a new thread. A new thread only makes searching difficult for everyone else and makes the forum packed
Uhh......majority of the apps are simple ".cab" files, just click on them in the file explorer of your PPC. Really, it's that simple. If you need other help, post in the above mentioned thread, and be more specific, can't help fix a problem we don't understand ourselves!

SPB Mobile Skin (from Greatbal) HTC Touch Need Help

Hello everybody.
I want to make a skin by my own and tried to change the "perfect" skin from greatbal!
I want to change the icons on the front menu of SPB Mobile Shell 2.1.2!
I want to take bigger icons. Now my question. How can i realize it.
Where i can find these icons and is it possible the make the background of the icons visible?
Many Thx for helping!
Shawn
for you the same like for any other beginner, WHY DO YOU OPEN A THREAD and don´t ask Greatball or post it in the Mobileshell thread or read there how to make a Skin ?
Unbelievable: I have a question, i open a thread
Ok sorry i didnt know that is possible to write directly a PN!
I thought the problem must be posted in the board so that everybody could learn.

Maybe because his thread has received four/five replies already (even if they are all utterly useless). I always post in the existing threads and rarely ever receive replies and there should be no reason why people can't create threads here.. Forums simply work like that.. Cluttered maybe, but there is no help board on these forums so don't blame members who ask for help in new threads.
The amount of time I've seen people complain about making new threads or asking questions makes me think.. If only instead of complaining and flaming you would actually help them then maybe the users wouldn't need so much help.
Sorry OP for side tracking your thread.
here are some threads you can read on customising SPB Mobile Shell

You have to edit the qa_status.dat, define your graphics: main image and the corresponding mask (which gives transparency effect). Try editing my qa_status.dat file and see corresponding result as a practice.
good luck.
Problem is that there are some many new users that are too lazy to search or to read a thread, there are so many threads about how to customize MS and they dont even know what a PM is. Sorry, I can´t and will never understand such people and its really not helpfull for us all on such a big side if every user makes it this way.
@greatbal
Thanks for helping but i still know the Files which i have to prepare to take my wished effect.
But thanks that u take a look at my question and did not make such a trouble if someone needs help.
I cant understand that it is so terrible posting a question if other threads are so big and not compact that it is hard for a newbie to find a special thing.
But its Ok. In future i will try to contact Greatbal with PN and you will see other Newbie will have the same problem and they will also open threads.

***MODS PLEASE DELETE**** Wrong forum
Hey guys,
I've been trying really hard to get a games folder or button in my programs launcher, but the menu doesn't exist under Spb Customise Menu.
I can only Add "My Menu" and then under that a games directory, but i've read many other posts where people say they have it already in their Customise menu list and just need to tick the box to get it.
I'm currently using Greatbal's Diamond theme for SPB MS 2.1 on an HTC Touch Dual.
Any suggestions?
I'd really like to have one folder with all my games as some have installed in weird places (when I haven't been able to tell it where to install).
Any help or advise is appreciated.

as cruel as it sounds- you shouldn't post an entire new thread for something like this..instead try searching like the person who did it for you in the above post
i acknowledge that, and if it's appropriate i have no dramas with this thread being deleted.
i did happen to look at both of those links before posting. all 1 million posts. haha. and didn't see the answer i was looking for.
i probably just missed it i guess. but i really didn't post without having a look first.
what he means is that if you encountered a problem regarding a specific program, it is more promptly suitable if you post it in the same thread/s regarding the application instead of opening a new one.
i know a new thread will gather more attention but surely it will not guarantee instant or faster answers than replying onto an exsisting thread.
also, there is the Q&A thread so if you have specific (and isolated) questions, you should post it there and hope that someone answers.. that is why it is called QUESTION and ANSWER.. not ANSWERS are here thread.
sincere apologies guys.
i'll delete this one and put it in the Q&A thread

M2D help

Hi there,
Please don't shoot me down if the info I'm asking for her is already on the forums but I've been trying to find it for ages.
I saw a picture of Asus lamborghini ZX1 a while ago and wondered whether I cold get the same theme on my XDA Orbit. The closest I've found is someone else on here who's started to make one that can be loaded using the M2D software.
What I'd like to do is try to create my own. I've looked all over the place but can't find any help on how to do it. Can anyone direct me towards a website explaining how to create themes that I can install using the M2D software?
This might be a simple question but I just cant find it anywhere.
Cheers,
YP

Unfortunately it is not as simple as throwing some .png and .jpg files into a ThemeGen and out pops a theme. It is, sometimes tedious, editing of xml files. For a better understanding look here.

This isn't the place to post questions.
Please refer to the Q&A next.
Thank you
