Odd thing, but I've got both of these apps on my TP. I do love the funkyness of TF3D but it's just not functional enough for me so I've installed the above.
On the Now screen there is a weather indicator on the top left corner. which today shows as cloudy. On the weather application on the main screen (5 day forecast) I get a different forecast. Surely they should be the same??
can anyone else with these two apps confirm if they see the same thing.
thanks
I have both running and have integrated SPB Weather into the the SPB Tab. Maybe you need to have a look at SPB Mobile Shell settings --> Tabs tab and make sure Spb Weather is there.
It could be that it is using some other old data from another Weather application ?
I actually use both together too, I think mobile shell has its own weather utility for which you can set the location and it is from this utility that the information displayed comes from. I have never tried to get the now screen to access the info from spb weather.
Personally speaking I also prefer turning tf3d off and use a combination of today plugins, i.e. spb pocket plus, mobile shell, diary, weather, devstate etc. This combination suits my needs better but each to their own I suppose.
hmm..odd....hopefully I explained correctly as I can't find any other settings
I have weather integrated on the SPB Tabs, (not realy much point in doing this though as the weather is displayed on the today screen and I don't need a tab to access it).
So, on the Now screen when you turn the phone on, across the top I have a small weather forecast, and then the notifications for email text and phone calls.
below this is the time date and then below this appointments etc.
if I close the now screen and I'm on the today screen, I have the date, then 4 tabs, then appointments, then my 5 day weather forecast.
I just can't work out why the two forecasts are different. I only have one city set up so I can't see it getting this data from anywhere else
What about in the Customize Now Screen, is SPB Weather ticked there?
As billu said, Spb Mobile Shell might have it's own weather and therefore this would explain the difference in reports, seeing as one is updated and the other is not.
Sorry just checked, I gave duff info in the last post, the now screen does take the info from spb weather. If you touch the weather symbol from the top left hand corner of the now screen the weather application comes up as you say. Then click the icon shaped like a gear near the bottom right (i.e. settings) and voala, spb weather configuration menu comes up. If you have multiple cities configured the topmost selected will be displayed. You can move cities up and down through the list. On my device the now screen weather info is consitent with spb weather's.
My reference to to mobile shell's own utility only applies to a tab available in mobile shell's today plugin.
By default, WM 6.1 shows the MRU at the top of the start menu.
But any ways to show this list in today screen, just as the way pocket plus shows the favorite shortcuts?
I know mobile shell can do this, but I want to have it on the default today screen.
Thx.
i have a samsung omnia 2 and have spb installed everything is great, but i would like to use some of the default samsung apps instead of the default windows or default spb. So for example is there a way so the alarm button launches a different app such as the samsungg one instead of windows default?
I would like to do this for sms, contacts, email missed call, voice message etc. I like the spb icons since they tell me how many messages or emails i have but hate it loading the default windows apps when i have such touch friendly samsung ones.
Or is there is a simple way to change the icons, that way i can add the apps i want and just change the icon so it looks the same as before and shows the notifications of call/messages.
I don't think there's a direct way to do that, but here's what I do. I installed the MobileSense theme for SPB 3.5, then placed the messaging, alarm etc widgets on the screen. Then, I added an application shortcut to my desired messaging app. Then, I changed the skin of the messaging app to a transparent one (available in MobileSense automatically) and placed it over the SPB messaging widget.
Moved as not theme release.
Hi, I got installed the Spb Mobile Shell Application, and it looks great, I finally can edit all my home screens, but I cant believe that if I want to access contacts list, I have to go to launcher and then Contacts, so my question is,
How can I create a Contacts List Home Shortcut, so I can access in just one click.
Thanks previously for your help!!!

Sorry, not sure I'm understanding you exactly.
You could set your left softkey to contacts in your registry under HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
or install "Second Today" ap and set the softkey in that ap.

When I installed Espresso Theme, my Contacts List Shortcut disappear, I Attached my Home Spb MS screen!!
Can I make a shortcut with ShellExtension app?
all screens on SpB MS can be modifyed, and with that you can chose which short cuts are present. maybe the espresso theme does not have the "contacts" on screen, but on the lower right corner you can usually select the modifications of you screen. (should be a square not an arrow)
The best you can do I think is to make a shortcut for a SPECIFIC contact.
any way to make a shortcut to single contacts?
basically, i don't want to install a big ui like moblie shell etc.
all i want on my today is a transparent icons to around 8 favorite contacts, and the alarm clock. no manila, no flashy gui, just minimal
cheers
