SPB mobile shell see windows title bar.

SPB mobile shell, is there any way to keep to windows title bar visible while running mobile shell.
Reason is volume control is there so, it is difficult to change volume with out minimizing app also I want to toggle between apps and I can not use "X" button functionality from SPB. Is there any easier way to toggle?
Any help would be appreciated.

hah, I've never seen a bot actually reply to a post
as for your question, I am wondering the same thing

For the volume, use the "SetVolume0.4b1.cab" file found on this forum. You can set a shortcut into your tools folder and it works brilliantly. Not sure about x button problem..
Cheers...

Something like this..?
This is do to Gagaza's modification.. and began to think on adding a start button, I ended up with this.

}
1) Start in (SPB) settings, select customize menu, highlight tools.
2) Now to begin select menu on bottom right, then add-> menu..
3) Choose the icon you desire and name it.
4) Then once done open tools (still in customize menu) go to the menu/icon you've created..
5) Highlight then select menu at bottom right and click on add->file. Now you can select any files you want. (I've chosen File Explorer, Skyfire, Dashwire and Sprite Backup)
6) Once all this is done then you go to MRU 2nd app (left to right 1st row) and Manage Pin to your created menu/icon.
7) Then load the modification gagaza has created and your good to go! (You can do this first also)
Enjoy..!
Let the creativity and fellowship continue...
Once again creating my theme has credits to GB,AZ,BI,GZ and other's.

A nice tool for our devices, File Explorer Extensio v.2.03 Freeware

This is a freeware that I found by Hou Ming that addresses all the missing features that should have been included in the Windows Mobile stock File Explorer.

Some of the new fatures :
*Resizable header for easy sorting by file name, date of last modification or size
*Tree view of folders; you can now jump easily from a location to any other on your device in one step
*Show extension option for those who ask themselves the same question I do: “What type of file is this?
*Icon view that enables the display of files as icons similar to your desktop computer
*Real time image preview; now you don’t have to open several files in order to send the one you desire
*Open with Program allows you easily select an application to open the specific file you select (useful in case you don’t have the correct file associations or when you want Album app to open your images instead of Windows default picture viewer.
*File property context menu for easy renaming and attribute changing
*Open all executables with Parameters in case you need a special parameter when launching an application
*Sending shortcut to Programs for instant shortcut creation of executables placed directly in Programs folder in Start Menu.

Adding media files directly to home screen with DVR?

I recently picked up a Nexus 7 to replace my Nook Color. I love everything about it but have gotten stuck in once aspect. I can't add any media files to my home screen.
With my Nook I used this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872295
It let me add books directly to my home screen. I could click on them and it would open my book for me. But now I can't get it to work. I have version 4.2.463 and I don't know how to change the MIME Type and SubType settings in this version. I can view it by long pressing and then clicking on Properties.
When I try to create the shortcut with Desktop Visualizer I got to Launch -> Select Action -> Other -> Astro File Manager -> [Navigate to file]
The Launch field stays blank and then when I press Ok, it says "Failed to create shortcut or Widget" I get this error with every file extension type.
I'd like to be able to do this again, but not with just books. I'd like to do it with Videos also. Right now I can only navigate to folders and not directly to the files. Ideally I'd like to have it setup the way the following picture shows:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When I touch the Spider-Man icon, it loads a folder where Spider-Man is stored. I then touch that file and it plays in Double-Twist. I'd like to cut out the middle step and launch the video in double twist from my home screen.
I can create a shortcut but the icon stays the same size as a typical icon. I'd like the big FanArt style icon like in my picture.
Can anyone suggest a fix or an alternate approach to make this happen for me?
