You would need to get spb weather, which allows you to import other weather sources via templates.

Thanks a lot!!! I try it!!
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
Has anyone successfully integrated the weather from the HTC Home to display as a weather tab in SPB Mobile Shell? The default weather source in SPB is Gismeteo.ru and it is a terrible source. It's readings are constantly off by 3-4 degrees and the current conditions & forcast is far from accurate.
I have tried SPB Weather program and successfully installed it, but after several hours I could not get any custom templates to work. After searching I can see that people seemed to stop developing templates for this program at the end of 2007.
If no one has been able to integrate HTC Weather from the HTC Home, then does anyone know how to change the source of the weather information in SPB Mobile Shell?
Many thanks.
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 used all weather apps for PPC and I have found the best one to be SBSH Pocket Weather. The real time updates and the forecats were most accurate and customizable. However the weather widget in SPB Mobile Shell is lame. Doesn't give me current temperature. Displays Rain as the current condition even though it's not even about to rain in 8 hours time.
I was wondering if there is a widget of SPB Mobile Shell. It's a great program but the lack of widgets and not being able to use today plugins is withdrawing a lot from it.
I also didn't find a good Tasks widget and the Time widget doesn't display the day in the way I would want it to.
Thanks
