Can´t seem to remember how to change the "shadowness" i.e. the clearness of the choosen beckground picture. I know this is possible but just can´t figure out how..
Thankful for help!
Anyone that knows... Still need to find out how to do!
You mean by creating a new background for use with Today > Theme? Just use a paint program for that.
Otherwise, there's registry hacks available to change the colour of the lines on some screens, i think tweak2knet can do it.

Actually what I mean is when you go to settings>Today and then choose a picture as the background. There is a way that you can change the clearness of that picture once you choosen it. Just can´t remember how to do it. Its very simple and you don´t need a twitch or anything to do it...
Hope that somebody knows what I´m talking about before I start to think that I´m hallucinating! :wink:
dont worry emil73 your not going mad lol!
open the picture using the pictures program (its built in to all pocket pc's I think?) then choose set as today screen, a dialogue then lets you set the transparency level.
hope thats some help?

THANK YOU ROB!!!
For giving back my sanity...
Works great.
No problem
I think MS theme generator will let you do the same when creating themes with a pc.
tweaks2k is also good if you want to change the txt/lines colour on the today screen.

slightly related to this,
Does anyone know how to change the colour of the text on the start menu?
On some of my light themes the text is white, when it would be easier to see when it was black.

try cetuner to do theme editing on your device.

Just tried out the MS theme generator and just LOVED IT! But there is a bíg but... Trying to copy it to the device I realized that the theme generator program only worls with Windows Mobile 2002 only.
Is this right or can I find another version for the 2003 edition?!?!?!
I just have to get that....
It does work for WM2003 too.
YOu can use the Theme editor with WM2003, you just need to copy the theme file you just created manually to the PDA.
I am using HTC touch can anyone please help me to make spb mobile shell as the default today screen i went to the posts of spb mobile shell but they are soooo big that i couldnt find anything.........all i want that spb interface to be my default today screen.... thanks in advance
You mean the 3 sided one where you can flip through?
You can't really have it as a today screen. You can however set it to display on wakeup so every time you turn on your phone it's there. And when you lock your phone it is also there.

This can be happen and after soft reset. Just edit the mobile shell's shortcut in the windows\startup folder with a file manager(I use total commander) and remove the "-noshow" option. If there is not exist an spb mobile shell shortcut, just create one from the executable.
The problem is that starts in launcher screen and not in Now, and I didn't find until now how to change this. Maybe there is a command line parameter but I don't know which is.
please sum1 only tell me how to bring the now screen (the analog clock one only) as the today screen i dont want anything else...........

you cant. search through the millions of mobile shell 2.0 threads. the closest thing you can do is that reg hack, or go to mobile shell settings and set the now screen to appear on device wake up. it cant be set as your today screen.
There is a shortcut to the Now screen. If you look where you can assign buttons it allows you to choose the Now screen. I am not sure where it is as an exucatable.
You can go to the Now screen with the "\Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell\Menulauncher.exe -now" command. You can assign it to a button, or a FTouchFlo gesture.
1.) Copy the "MobileShell.exe" application from \Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell, and
2.) create a shortcut "Shortcut to MobileShell.lnk" in \windows\StartUp, then
3.) Perform a Soft reset.
Now the Mobile Shell Spb Menu (Application) screen auto loads after the soft reset. No Reg edit required for this...
I have not seen or heard of a Now Screen edit as of yet but I'm sure one of these great Programmer / Chefs has one in the works... Have you seen what they are doing so far?

The above mention instructions does not replace the Today Screen but only bypasses it after a reset. If you close MS2.0 at any time, it will take you back to the Today Screen. As far as I know, you can not totally replace your Today Screen.
Good luck and keep on reading... The XDA Google search function can do wonders....

Thanks for this! With this I achieve to make the device starts in now screen after soft reset with the help of mortscript.
I made a shortcut with above command, and after I write this script:
Code:
run ("\Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell\MobileShell.exe")
Sleep( 10000 )
Run ("\Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell\MenuLauncher.lnk")
I put a shortcut of the script file in windows\startup folder and reset the device.
Now I have the now screen after every soft reset.
I modified the memwatcher sdk sample to launch spb now screen whenever user gets to today screen. Install the CAB file and every time when you return to today screen it'll quickly put you back at spb now screen.

I knew it wouldn't be long before someone made this happen... Good work....
That's What I Have Been Waiting For!!!!!!!!!!!!
God Job!
Be careful when using this cab.
I installed this tool on my german htc touch and now the device freezes all the time.
There is an error message saying " can`t open file MenuLauncher. Perhaps this file is not signed or one of its component is missing".
Then my device is showing the rotating icon for searching and doesn`t accept any input. How can i get rid of this without having to hardreset my htc ? After soft reset the device is still running in this error message, and active sync will not recognize my ppc to uninstall from there, so I need some help please.......
got the same problem on my german device.
any ideas to fix it?
@rod65
perform a softreset and boot in "safe-mode"... deinstallieren fertig...
Thank YOU!

Hi all, there's a way to automatically change the screen orientation when i open a determined program?
I'm not asking something like gravity sensor, only an automatic way to rotate the screen when lauching a program, i think there may be a program wich can do that, but i can't find it...
Does anyone know something about it?
Thanks and excuse me for my bad english.
yes, i saw that function in tess + sp, its working with a mortscript for rotating the screen before running the program and geting it back to normal after the program finishes.
U can also use Wisbar Advanced Desktop (WAD) its a great soft with some many customizations !
Thanks!
I used MortScript, WAD is not free as i can see, and i need only the rotation, not the "shell" :\
Hello,
I have installed a WM 6.5 Rom on my Xperia and now I want to install the HTC Long press end key feature that displays a quicklist.
I've already installed the .cab and configured it but when i press the end key the phone locks and doesn't display the quick list as expected.
Do i need to change something in the registry to make this happen?
Please let me know...
Thanks.
I second this request.
It very practical and important for me to be able to swith between vibrate and sound, the x1 doesn't have this option by default and even after installing the cab it does not work.
The only time that it worked fine was with smaberg's ROM.
Does anyone knows how to fix this?
Hi,
How can i stop the phone from roatating in every bluddy screen
I just want the photos, the opera and music to rotate.. noting else..
I am on Pandora 1.1.. tried the BSB Tweaks but it just hangs up...
Any registry tweaks?
On the BS also.. which ones point to Photos-Music-Opera.. will try exculding everything else. Specially the incall screen.. irritating when in the middle of a call the screen rotates..
Have you checked these 2 Registrys If the programs you don't want to autorotate are in there delete them. Make sure to backup these registrys before deleting in case you want to revert back.
