SPB Mobile Shell and HTC Sense

[BlueLineEnforcer]

I really like SPB Mobile Shell 3.5, but I don't use it on my HTC Touch Pro 2 (VZW) becase I like what Sense has done with the applications to make them more finger friendly. For example, Windows Explorer spreads out the folder list to make it easier to use without a stylus. Most importantly to me, my primary app is Laridian's PocketBible and Sense make that very finger friendly.

My question is, if I installed SPB, then turned on the key at HKEY_CU\Software\HTC\Manila named "IsHTCSenseEnabled", would that allow for the other Sense functionality while preserving Mobile Shell as my overlay?

Thanks for your help!
