Sorry if this was already answered just curious how to go about changing the weather icons in the spb mobile shell with spb weather? Dont really like the icons it came with and i've seen some of the ones you guys have just dont know if they would work right with the spb weather and spb shell 3. I'm running the shell on a samsung saga not sure if that matters just thought i'd throw it out there.
Thanks for your time and sorry if this was already answered.

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)

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
I looking for a way to get the HTC Diamond style clock on my today screen, similar to the attachment.. I use SPB Mobile shell for shortcuts etc. and do not really want to get rid of it. At the moment I have SPB Time, but that is just a bit boring, I would like to have the Diamond style clock. Is their any way to get this? I have searched for threads to fine HTC Home without any tabs and just the clock, but cannot find a solution to have just the clock.
Could any one suggest an application or something to do this.
do you mean that clock style for spb mobile shell?
if yes, greatbal has a diamond skin for spb mobile shell with that clock.
Hi Dielo, thanks for the reply.
no not for spb mobile shell, but for the today screen itself, like htc home.
Search does not hurt dude, really, it will not bite you in any way...

Kristoff_sz, thats a nice theme, but I don't want to user HTC Home, as I don't like to use the tabs or notification icons, I use spb mobile shell for this. I have searched if their is a way to get rid of them, the icons and tabs, but cannot find anything on this site on how to do it.

Sorry for misunderstanding then.
Well, as far as I know, there is an app called Pocket Digital Clock, but its not customizable, and the clock looks like standard one from HTCHome.
And I think that there is no method to put just a clock like this on today. Maybe some programs like BatteryStatus, rlToday or HTCHome++ can do that, but i don't know about that kind of option.
Cheers
Chris
Chris, thanks for the reply. I think I can create a theme using HTCHome++
cheers
Try this....!!!
Just go to ThrottleLauncher Forums and download the 'ThrottleHtml_alpha' plugin.It's a Diamond-style clock + Weather today plugin with exactly same animations as are on the HTC Diamond phone.
Also,I want to mention that it's first development was started by the Flash-King Twolf on this forum.
Hope this info could help you find the app you want.
Search RLtoday diamond clock you should get plenty of hits.
if you're looking for an animated one you can use FEWidgets
if you're looking for a regular one you can use an rlToday screen i make... search for it.
you can also use Manila2D, Battery Status.. all of them have diamondlike clocks.
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.
Hello folks
I have one small question. On my diamond I have rom with SPB Shell 3.0 and I will install TF3D. I installed TF3D, but this not working. When I activate TF3D in Today option I have black screen in Today. SPB Shell 3.0 working god. What I must doing to TF3D start working?
Greetings
this belongs in the Q&A section.
thank you
Hi Every,
Does anyone have solution to put different weather city as widget to SPB mobile shell? Mobile shell can get "SPB TIME" as widget to show many city time. But SPB weather can not, why? Please help.
Jack
I think you need to get SPB traveler for that. SPB traveler includes SPB weather and you can display the weather from many different cities with it.
why? To get you to pay more of course!
I just wish the mobile shell would display the current temp and let you choose from more sources. It's silly that they haven't worked this out considering the number of people griping about it since the earliest versions. I though 3.0 would fix it...then 3.5....still no joy. Good thing that weatherbug direct has a small cab that puts the current temp in your taskbar.
