Settings > SPBMobile Shell >Tabs menu (one of selections along the bottom). Lets you customize the tabs. Home Tab, Weather Tab, Time Tab, Wireless, Pocket Plus. Then you go into the the pocketplus tab and put in whatever shortcuts you want. Then below that I have the SBSH Pocketweather plugin, and below that the Calendar+ Plug-in. At the very top is Date plug-in, then the SPBMobile Shell plug-in with the Tabs. Hope this gets you what you need.

Well, at least i got it to run...

After i run the Install_QVGA script, it runs through the options and i soft reset as the readme states, but then it brings me to my Today1 screen with the soft key for spb, but it will not switch over. I recovered, tried it again, recovered AGAIN. tried it again (i learned my lesson about not backing up before installing apps on my vx6800)....but still to no avail. Anyone else have this happen to them....It was on a Friday, and it was a long work week....



*****Edit******

I'll just call myself mentally challenged.....It was due to a long week, i swear!!

DeRiggi...May I ask for more detail? When you get back to the Today screen, have you made all the selections for skinning Shell? What happens when you press the soft key for SPB?

I ended up getting it to work....I don't think i unzipped the file correctly. I went back, unzipped it all to a folder on my desktop, and moved that folder to my card and it worked no problem.

I did the same thing the first time, but maybe the file transfer never completed properly...Who knows.

I do love that app though.

DeRiggi....I bet you did the first time what I have done soooo many times in the past!!!

Glad you got it though, play around a bit and post your results!! I'm sure we would all love to see!!

I'm DL a screencap app today. I absolutely LOVE this program, and the ability to really get your phone exactly how you want it. I've always been a new "cell phone" guy, but a few years ago i needed to get a smartphone for work...here is my progression...

Blackberry 8703
Blackberry 7130e
Moto Q - 1st release
Treo 700p
Treo 700wx
vx6800
BlackBerry Pearl
Omnia

As far as i am concerned nothing beats WM devices. With this App, i finally have "the" phone i want. I can have it look, act and do whatever i wish...for business and for personal use.

I would suggest to anyone and everyone to get the spb mobile shell, download the skin app, and make the device your own....As you can see, i tried everything out there to get a device i wanted...and i have finally found it.

Hey i got the spb mobile shell and imarche like ive seen here and gotta say your skins look GREAT but i am having trouble installing skins, i go to install the skin either via the script or the menu in shell and once i install it "an error has occured" message splashes on my screen and while sometimes i can get the now screen up stuff is just all messed up or wont run at all, got any tips for using this?

[syrguy1969]

When you say you go to install the skin...are you actually hitting 'Install Skin'? If so, this is for after you set-up a skin you like and save it. After that, you can reuse it by 'installing' it. This app doesn't come with pre-made skins, just the parts for you to put yours together with.

I fixed it while i was at work, it was installing of the Imache skin generator that was failing but i missed in the instructions before about the soft reset, but another question, i notice menus that show up blank on my screen, games for example and navigation, is there ways to put applications in those screens? Likewise is there a way to put the opera browser in the internet area instead of pocket IE?
