So i wanted to start a spb hack thread so we dont have to go searching everywhere to find all the things that will make this shell better....

Get Full Date Format on Home Screen:

  • To change the Short Date Format to show "Fri 3/7/08" (example):
  • HKLM\nls\overrides\SSDte = "ddd M/d/yy " (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
  • Original Thread

ADD Left & Right finger gestures to the professional page

THANKS TO TURBOREPU

LINK

the menubarcontacts.xml has the code. go into it and you will see what im talking about.

Plugin Class="Spb.LSP.MenuBar" Name="Contacts" ID="12">

<String Name="Open" Value=":TIME"/>

<String Name="OpenL" Value=":HOME"/>

<String Name="OpenR" Value=":WEATHER"/>

<Int Name="isActive" Value="1"/>

<Int Name="Replace" Value="1"/>

<String Name="Backgrd" Value="MenuBackgrd"/>

<String Name="Icons" Value="Icons"/>

<Rect Name="SrcIcon" X="0" Y="100" Width="48" Height="50"/>

/Plugin>

i changed the values of the open,openl,openr to :TIME :WEATHER and :HOME. you have to do that for each button. then i saved it as menubar3.xml. i then edited the lockscreen, time and weather xmls by changing the menu info on the very top to Layer Name="Menu" Dialog="MenuBar3"/. zipped them back into the layouts.dat

exit and restart ms3 from spb settings menu or restart.. now i csn swipe through those pages from the professional screen.. this bssically will allow people who sctually know what the hell they are doing to make the pro screen be like ms2. i only tried it fast to see if the swiping works, but i did not edit the skins or add a panel button in the corner. youll see what i mean..

also to change the text on the pro page for launcher snd contacts, edit the menubar.xml file.

can you make a note on mine that its an incomplete hack. the reason being that more xml editing would have to be made to make this a usefull hack. BUT it does work and for sctual skiners/designers it can help give them the flexibility of the gestures. if you do what i did you wont have a launcher or contact burton on the bottom unless you edit some stuff.

Love the Clock addition. Was a little painful to read through at first but pretty easy to do.

I wish peole would stop making new 'Put all your hacks in here' threads. There is already a good established thead for this kind of thing here: http://www.modaco.com/content-page/286904/...-mobile-shell-3

Can't we keep it all in there?

Can you fix your link. Just throws me to the home page.

Just installed it. Didn't like it really but i couldnt find a way to uninstall so i deleted the folder and overwrote qa_layouts.dat with a backup and now I get errors on startup looking for files but got my old layout back. I'll probably reflash later when i have time.

edit: alright fixed the errors by deleting the links in the windows/startup folder but i still have the customizer in the MS3 settings window.
