Thinking of installing SPB Mobile Shell

[Cmass]

I like the Spb Watcher....but without the ability to toggle to my Today screen it is interfering with a lot of features. For example, my MP3 player controls and the Spb Insight program (scrolling news headlines) both reside on the Today screen.

I really like it but.....I may uncheck it for now and wait for someone to develop a toggle......

Now that I have cleaned up my phone... I have SPB Mobile Shell running smoothly. I really, really like it. I do have a question...

My Programs screen is composed of 9 different 'buttons'. Organizer, Internet, Multimedia, Tools, Programs, Settings, and Messaging. The bottom middle button is empty but if I push it then it loads 'my menu' (which I have customized but the top says "Items"). The bottom right 'button' has three lines across the top of it. It looks something like "_ _ _", but on the top of the button. If I push it then it loads an "Items" screen that controls my bluetooth, Wifi, Phone, and GPRS (Comm manager?). Anybody know how to fix this?

Here is a screenshot:

I had similar sounding issues. I fact it got really weird when program icons started showing up in strange places around the screen.
What I did:
Settings-->Mobile Shell-->Advanced tab-->Menu
Things got weird - but subsequently were fixed - by moving various menu items up and down. You do this by highlighting it and then clicking on the menu at the bottom right. You will see "Move UP" and "Move Down". These affect the order of the icons within the page. If you expand any one of these items you will see all the sub-items. These are the next set of icons you see when you select the main icon when you are navigating. You can turn these on and off as well as add other items - all using the same menu at the bottom right. In my case, to get rid of the strange lines and wandering icons I turned some items off and moved others further up on the order. I then "added a link" to the Multimedia tree so when I click on it on the Programs page my new media player is the first thing that comes up.

BTW: Glad you like Spb Shell - it looks like a lot of people do.......Unfortunately, after countless hours messing with it, I'm beginning to wonder if it is really adding all that much to the experience........

Here is a screenshot:

The 4th icon is a favourites page. Go to programs / settings and then customize menu. Highlight 'My Menu' and then go to 'Menu' 'Add' 'Add Link'
this allows you to place programs in here that you use often.

The 3 _ _ _ icons across the top bar indicate if you have BlueTooth (blue), WiFi (Yellow) and Phone (Green) switched on/off. This is your Comms Manager. May need to soft-reset to get these showing colours correctly.

Ok, I got the comm manager figured out.

I did this. I have 5 things in the "My Menu" menu. Some of them are files, and some are links. The 4th Icon still doesn't do anything. It's weird, it acts like it doesn't register the 'push'. I even tried the mouse but it doesn't register.

Sorry not sure why it's not working then. Is the 'My Menu' option enabled (ticked) within Customize Menu ???

You could try disabling it, soft-resetting then enabling again.

Exactly which icon are you trying to figure out? If possible, a screen-shot would be best!! Depending on the icon, I may have some input, but I want to hold off on confusing the issue any more that it is by assuming incorrectly!!

If you are seeing this blank space that brings up My menu, then you don't have all the items checked and in the proper order. When you do, that button that doesn't do anything will bring up your "My Menu" direct from the Now screen. Should be like attached pic. It worked for me!
You will also find the comm manager in the top bar when you do that.
