Guest stripeycat Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Yep, that's exactly what i want... the Now screen as my Today screen. These folks really should do more pre-release testing... beautiful looking piece of software, but it just doesn't quite have all the tweaks in it that you might feel like... <:l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toon9 Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 I'd like to be able to have the 'now' screen as my today screen :) P Paul, How did you manage to get your calendar appointments to appear on the 'now' screen ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 By checking the option for that in the SPB Shell settings... P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toon9 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 By checking the option for that in the SPB Shell settings... P I'll give the benefit of the doubt and assume the feature exists in the retail version and that is what you have. I've only the trial version, for the moment - and the Now Screen settings page doesn't have an option to check, to display calendar info. (Cannot attach an image..............again !!)

Guest dez16v Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Does anyone know how to change or remove the contact pictures in the 'Dial Tab' ? These are the pictures of your contacts that are used as a speed dial on the Home screen, one of the four icons at the top of the screen ( Battery, Clock, Weather, and Contacts ). I have looked at the spb menus and cannot find anything that can do this. My copy is a registered version 1.0.0 Otherwise I think it is a great application. Cheers!! dez16v <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimbouk Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 My trial version had the appointments option... But I have uninstalled it... It was visually very smart and I am sure a new WM user would love it - but I have already got my device working the way I like it. I actually found it added screen taps rather than took them away.

Guest toon9 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Here we go then........ .....someone preserve my sanity, and explain where the calendar option is if it isn't on the page shown above. Can anyone explain why I cannot "manage current attachments" to posts when using my PPC ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi toon9, I do not know how to load screen shots from Trinity to show you the screen that I have, but if you could email me and tell me how to do it I would gladly send it to you. But I can tell you that my 'Now Screen' tab page has another square tick box underneath the 'Digital Clock' button that reads..... 'Show Current and Upcoming Appointments', this is ticked in my case. If you like I could also email you with the version that I have installed. If this is any help to you let me know at:- [email protected] ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for the help by the way Hi toon9, Thanks for the screen capture software but I cant seem to assign a key on my spv m700 to take the pictures with because there is no slide out keyboard with this device and all of the exterior keys seem to be live when I try to assign them and so I cannot assign a key button to take the screen shots. Have you any ideas how I can get round this one? If you want, I could email you the actual spb shell software that I have to your email address, I think it only about 8.68mb in size. Cheers...

Guest toon9 Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 dez16b, You'll have to sacrifice one of the actions currently assigned to the hardware button you choose to use for the screen capture application. Cheers for the offer of the spb shell, but to be honest I'm not that taken with it. I haven't made my mind up for sure yet - but I'm swaying towards removing it rather than purchasing it. In my opionion, it's more just eye candy for the ppc as opposed to making it more functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mandt Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 I found the same, it's not anywhere near as customisable as it should be, and uninstalled it after two days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tim Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 I thought it looks very nice, and is quite useful. The sort of thing people write and pass on for free, I can't believe what they think they can charge for it!

Guest martinwilliams999 Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 (edited) in the 3hrs Ive had it installed on my M600 with nothing else running (just played around with the menus & setup) my battery has gone down from 50% to 31% AND ITS BEEN PLUGGED IN TO MY PC !!!! Has anybody experienced this shocking discovery??? EDIT : After a couple of resets and a bit of playing Its all OK now.. PHEW! Hats off to SPB for this one. guys at work have been really impressed wth my new look ;-) I had this exact same problem on my M3100. The battery simply wouldn't charge with Mobile Shell installed. I thought the phone was dodgy and got Orange to swap it, as it was just 5 days old. The replacement was just the same, so I've uninstalled Mobile Shell now. Shame, cos it's great.

Guest Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Having recently bought Mobile Shell and installed it I found to my horror that it inteferes with SPB Time and the alarms no longer work (good job I set the alarm clock and tv too or it would have been a late appearance at work! ;) Soon discovered that it was the Now screen that was riding roughshod over SPB time and once I disabled the Now screen it seems ok. Looking at the SPB Forum though it appears that Mobile Shell is riddled with bugs - unusual for SPB software which is normally very stable and clearly well beta tested. Shame about not having fully customisable tabs as I too would like more than 5 contacts on the dial tab! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Matters got worse and even with the Now Screen disabled, Mobile Shell was still preventing alarms from sounding (SPB Time alarms and the built-in WM alarms). I have now removed Mobile Shell - in theory a great little utility, in practice a bit of a shambles! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Raven Nephilim Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 I've been using SPB Mobile Shell for a month with no major problems. But as most people state its lack of customable features sucks. I'd like to change the items in the SPB menu button. In the Multimedia tab I'd like to add Core Media Player, as I use it more than Windows Media Player. I'd also like to change the fonts, since I've changed all the system fonts so they don't look so bland! It'd be great if I could remove the Pocket MSN icon, since it doesn't come pre-installed on my M600, and replace it with Windows Live and I'd like the Organiser in the menu to trigger Pocket Informant. But in it's defence mobile shell is intuitative and the start button as well as the home tab are baised on your MRU. I've been tweaking the registry and fiddling some settings. If I don't brick my phone I'll let you know how I get on :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
