hey guys,i thought when you added an internet favorite item shortcut to one of the tabs in the internet tab in sense it added an image of the page in the shortcut tab....mine doesnt,i just have like a black background with a grey circle and the name of the site underneath.i know its not a deal breaker but id rather see an image of the site iv added.any reasons why this small issue is having my life lol...?
cheers.....
Are you using Opera 10 by any chance? If so, this feature will not work. What i tend to do is set these up in the pre-installed Opera and then install 10 - the images don't update, but it's better than the grey boxes!
No idea if not that...
I had a sneaky feeling that was why.yeah im using the latest version of opera.bit gutted as i prefer the look of sense to the opera page but im also using this as the blank boxes look dull.i hope a fix sorts it out sometime......cheers bud.
are you sure you allowed the pages to load completely the first time?

So here's a quick fix - I tried this the other day when I forgot to visit my shortcuts before installing Opera 10. Uninstall Opera 10 and visit each of your shortcuts using the default Opera browser - make sure it is set as the default browser, PIE may try to muscle in.
The site images will not be dynamic, but at least you will have better than the grey box and an out of date page image is still pretty recognisable.
When you have done, simply reinstall Opera 10. Not quick, not clever, but it should work in the short term.

worked a treat bud,cheers....
If you can get any image for the shortcuts you can then change them to any pic you want. The thumbnails are stored in Windows/Thumbnail. I make a 512x512 png image for each shortcut and copy them to the folder using the same name. Now I have detailed icons for my opera shortcuts. Original resolutions were 512x512.

nice, thanks for the tip, ill have a go at doing that tonight....cheers..
Hi,
I have tried this and had no luck, the thumbnail didn't appear. Do the png files have to be any particular format or size? Or am I doing something else wrong? running stock 1.66 rom and opera beta 3......

Hi All,
I have been working on an enhancement that allows scrolling from anywhere on the screen, not just using the scrollbars. The idea is to tweak the UI so that it functions more intuitively. This app is still in Alpha. However, for those that like this functionality and would like to help me with testing and provide me with good suggestions, that would be extremely appreciative.
Here is the run down on the app:
-Loads on startup and places an icon on the home screen.
-Currently, a flicker of the startup screen will appear during bootup.
-May not work at times on initial loading of a window.
Thank and enjoy. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Sorry guys, I had to remove the cab.
This is a great idea. I have been looking for such an application.
I installed it, did a soft-reset and the little icon appeared on the home screen as you indicated. The following is my feedback:
- the scrolling does not work in IE (where it's probably most useful)
- the direction of the scrolling is counter-intuitive. I expected that dragging down to scroll down (as in iPhone); it does the opposite.
Thanks for the application.
good idea maybe. i may misunderstand the features of this program. i'm currently able to scroll by dragging in most apps on my wm5. in IE i use PIE to scroll by dragging. in contacts (both default wm5 and inesoft address book i can also scroll by dragging. i also able to scroll by dragging in resco file explorer. for image i also scroll by dragging using resco photo viewer. am i missing something ?

the issue is that by default, you have to scroll with your stylus and there are no out of the box functionality that allows you to scroll from anywhere with your finger. Similar to the iphone.

You are right about the drag position. In terms of the PIE issue, that is known. I am working on it.
I tried to run this on WM5 and it says that my "mini" .net framework is not compatible. Is this only designed for WM6?

It requires CF 2.0. It is not designed specifically for WM 6.

You may also know this already, but I thought I mention it:
The application disables the "click-and-hold" function in IE which is used to go Back and to select Favorites.
Thanks,
Installed and works great for me - I do agree that the scrolling should be the other way round though. Thanks!
this worked great on my hermes!
One bug I noticed is that to be able to scroll through my contacts, I have to first enter my contacts list, and then click "ok" and then again open the contacts list.
Any news on development or fixed alpha version? I would really prefer this over TouchFlo on my Hermes, since it does not eat so much performance and HTCHome is excellent app though!!
Olioaglio
ei,
any news from this must have application?
dont give up, go on man, you are the one
Yeah... keep us posted on Beta, and possibly RC releases
Thanks for this apha release. I would prefer not to have the icon on the today screen because I have a limited amount of space on there.
The scrolling worked on File Explorer / Resco Explorer. Did not seem to work on my newreader pRSSreader. In PIE I always have 'screen drag' turned on so prefer to use that but would still like the right-click menu which this disables.
Kismat
May the force be with you
rathoughts ,
i came to this thread, every hours just to check if we have more news, i´m waiting for the TouchNav without bugs.
May the force be with you , and work on this wonderful app.
best regards
any news on a future release?
hi,
I only have 2 options:
1. install this app
2. install the rom FantasticB4 or VID
and you people, what you gona do?

I tried touchflo, but it didn't give me what I really wanted...integrated functionality with the OS. I like the "coolness" of it.
I just can't find the dang buggers!
I want to be able to cab all my settings back in. I've already got most manila config stuff (registry), but I just can't find opera's bookmarks, only the homepage. Since I've got a load of bookmarks, it's very tedious having to put them all back in after a ROM flash.
Who can help me?
The file is called Opera6.adr and it is in the application data\opera9 directory on your device.

I saw an Opera9 map in \Application data, but I don't know which file(s) contain the bookmarks. It may be in there though, in stead of in the registry. I'll try to find them and report back here.
edit: I see someone beat me to that . Thx for clearing it up, now I now which file to backup (in stead of the whole directory)

Interesting, turns out this file was located in \windows\Opera9 for me. That used to be the fix to show bookmarks in the opera tab in TF3D, which doesn't seem to work anymore anyway
It's not encoded/encrypted, so wordpad opens it just fine. Each bookmark has two values of which I can't determine the value;
ID==12 (why 12 and not 1?)
CREATED==1236695305 (I'd guess when it's created, but that doesn't look like a date/time.)
Anyone know what the rules are? Else I'll have to input them on my phone which takes more time.
At least I know which file to look for now, thanks!
EDIT: I modified ID to 1 and CREATED to 0000000001 and it works just fine, easy!

Opera Mobile is a major pain to get bookmarks into. I had to install opera on my pc and import my ie faves into it. You can then copy the opera9.ard file from your desktop opera to your x1.

A related question: Where are passwords etc. stored? I'd guess in the other .adr files. It would be nice to have such things saved as well. I'm going to check all the files and see what they do ^^

Hi,
don't think anyone has missed the amazing pre release of this sweet ap!
I'm a mod freak and there are somethings i would like to change in this prog.
like the programs "tab" only has 3 rows. i want to make this 4. anyone with a bit of experience possibly from the 2.xx series know where to do it?
the configs are simple ZIP files. Just open the DAT file as a ZIP file or rename it to ZIP.
in order to edit the file you need to put in the password which is:
b0fm18zq
Maybe we could custom tailor it and post the modded DAT files collected here. Most of the 2.xx series of mods/skins are portable with a little or no modification except renaming of some picture files (same password in 2.xx). the possibilities are endless
Please remove or correct my post if I'm violating/doubleposting something here.
Regards

DAT Files content:
qa_layouts.dat - This contains only XML files. 61 to be precise lots of interesting stuff! (tried to change the Iconspacing in programs to 24. didn't get my 4 icons row though )
vp_menu_btn.dat - Built in Icons
va_misc_now.dat - Built in system icons
vpw_bkg_now - portrait
vlw_bkg_now.dat - mostly contact icons landscape
va_weather_64.dat - weather Icons largest with XML file
vp_bkg_now.dat - Menu frame
vl_bkg_now.dat - same but in landscape
va_profile.dat - media player and profile widget icons
RegHacks:
adding more pages to lifestyle screen
more buttons in collected start menu
change default sms client (bottom)
Memorysaving (no reghack)
interesting links in similar spirit:
SPB 3.0 today wallpaper
SPB 2.1 skins for inspiration
Great idea. I would also love to see this!!!
Is possible to customise the theme colors that available in mobile shell 3? The existing preferences are to dark(I want a white color scheme). Can we do it by editing a dat file(which?) or a registry hack?

Hi Dancer_69,
I don't know yet. I just played around with it last night before bed. I'm just a NB in this who poked around with this great ap after not being pleased with everything and curious on what could be achived so i dont have alla the answers this is a team effort. hopfully someone with the experience or knowhow checks this. In the meantime we have to do it by trial and error. and map it all as we go along
Regards
Frewys
good to know
I have discovered that Topaz enhanced menus works great with SPB MS 3.0 activated (and Manila installed but not activated in the today screen) so so far its a necessary evil to have Manila installed until we know possible witch file or reg settings are needed.

i'll be waiting one this, happy moddings
adding more pages to lifestyle screen
this could be good for some. Found this over at modaco.com forum posted by turborepu quote:
"add more pages to lifestyle screen.. bg image pan works fine still
hklm/software/spb software house 2/spb mobile shell/widgets/homescreen
change "pagecount" to desired number.. i put 4. soft reset.."
supposedly its tested on 10 pages. the result is that when paned the wallpaper moves less then with three. If wallpaper size changed it will "smartfit" it to be the "correct" size.
haven't tried this myself yet three is plenty for me ATM

Hi masrterk,
I personally don't agree. i like to taylor make my GUI and of course the tastes differ. For instants.. i would like to have it pretty barebone and point to the prefered app of choice like resco contactmannager or glarm witch are the best! IMHO annyway
BUT if one could integreate them somehow that would be great if you had that choice.
right now its really easy just to link to those apps from the lifestyle screen.

Remove calendar from professional layout?
Hi guys
i am trying to figure out how to do something that we were able to do in 2.1, but has been left unoptional in 3.0. I would like to get rid of the calendar on the pro screen. All I want to see is my upcoming appointments (if I have any). I don't want the screen cluttered with a pesky grid-style calendar. I am such a nooB at this it is silly, but here I am, messing around with .dat files......
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
It would be nice to create a backup/restore tool for the settings/today items/widgets/etc...
When updating the rom this would be VERY useful!
is the pre release official? where's the download?
looks good from the youtube demos
Anyone figure out the password for the DAT files yet? Seems they changed it from the 2.x releases
Great idea. I just took a peek inside today, thanks for the breakdown of what some of the .dats do.
I have a feeling we'll start seeing some custom widgets in no time.
and yes, the release is now official.

I don't see the grid calendar on my pro screen anymore. On the pro settings page, choose "calendar", then change # of appointments to "as many as possible". After doing this, mine now shows the next two appointments.
So i have been searching every where for a today plugin that displays photos similar to that of the photo tab of touchflo but have found notthing so if there are any developers willing to create such a plugin i will be more then willing to donate some funds to them please help
there is a plugin called CMYPhotos in that pulls images from the devices "my pictures" folder, i just installed a 6.5 rom two days ago and i couldn't find a way to make it pull them from another location.
if anybody has a solution or a flexible alternative to cmyphotos, please speak up

i tried it with pix only, and it was awfully slow. any ideas on what is causing it or how to fix it?
The default already haves them all preloaded as you choose next/previous.
Mine doesnt, it loads them on the spot every 1 second.
The bigger the picture, the longer it takes to load.
If its not loaded on that second, it will only show on the next, so it takes 1-3 seconds to load each picture.
If anyone does use mine to build a new version, would need to use the color codes "cheat", so that each time it changes page, the system loads the next and previous imeditatly. Thats would make it much faster.
I wont do that for mine, because its a page-only version.
This is nothing special, but I was searching for it and couldnt find it, so I threw it together.
It is simply a wrapper for the Myspace Mobile site (m.myspace.com) and should render in all resolutions.
It makes use of the widget capabilities of Windows 6.5, and thus is ONLY FOR 6.5. This is not a ".cab" file it is a ".wgt" file.
Extract the ".wgt" and click to install it!
The only know bug is when installing some users may get the "There is no application associated with Myspace. Run the application first, then open this file from within the application" error depending on how the ".wgt" association is setup . To fix it, install Themuzz's solution which sets the association to open the Widget Installer.
works good so for, nice job.

It is a Windows Mobile "Widget"
MSDN Reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd721906.aspx
this is pretty sweet. too bad I almost dont use MySpace anymore.
running on my tilt, I had an issue; fonts are TOO big; and there is an issue that it does not take up all of the available screen like the other widgets do. the scroll bars are useless in winmo6.5.
great thing though. works very quick and loads images quickly too. it would be nice to be able to save images in it (for contacts) but that is probably asking too much. lol.
thanks. this will stay.
