Spb Mobile Shell v1.5

[CozBoogie]

Ok, I'm running Beta 4 and though I pretty much love most aspects of this app the number of soft resets I've done today is out of control. I'm getting freezing on just about every screen regardless of what I might be doing.

Anyone know of any known conflicts, etc.

Thanks...late,
Coz

EDIT: In my tabs I have WP, prssReader, TodayAgenda, and NewsPanel.

I've been playing around with beta 4 - this setup is working well for me:



My Today plugins are:

• * phoneAlarm
  * Spb Mobile Shell
  * WeatherPanel
  * WP-Pilot

Spb Mobile Shell is optioned to "Auto-hide the tab content". That way, WeatherPanel is visible when the tab content is not - WP-Pilot works like normal.

To get this to work, I did have to decrease the height of the Son-of-Commuter-240-QVGA layouts a little to 123 pixels. I'll post that update tomorrow.

Oh yea - I switched back to Wisbar Lite (from Wisbar Advance 2). I still prefer cascading menus...

None, in fact the Release Candidate is now out (I could post it, but honestly the changes too it are fairly minor).

I'm thinking maybe NewsPanel, just because of the level of development on that app, but honestly I don't know. All I can say is I've never had a crash and the program is about to be released as gold soon...

Story,

How were you able to get the phoneAlarm plugin above Mobile Shell? The only today plug-in I can get above Mobile Shell is the date. Thanks.

Go to your Today settings, click the Items tab. Find PA & highlight it, thenhit the move up button untill it is above Mobile Shell.

On my device (PPC-6700), once phoneAlarm gets under Mobile Shell, the MOVE UP button becomes gray and you can't move it any higher. Mobile Shell doesn't have the option of moving up or down. I assumed it was something that Mobile Shell was doing so it could be the top plug-in (after Date) which is why I was surprised by Storyr's screen. I just checked out TreoCentral and noticed there are some other today screens there were phoneAlarm was above Mobile Shell, so maybe it's something that the 700w/wx's are able to do -- I know that there are some differences with Mobile Shell when installed on those devices.

Interesting... In my Today settings, Mobile Shell does have the move up/down option available. I wonder if it's version related? I'm running beta 4.

Question: are you also running WP-Pilot? And if so, is it in "invisible" mode? If so, try this: Activate teh WP-Pilot cursor. Press and hold the center button. A dialog will open. Tap the "Check Today Plugin Order". This little WP-Pilot utility will resolve any plugin order discrepancies...

I'm running the beta 4 that was linked in this thread. I don't remember if the original version allowed me to do it, but thinking back to the way my today screen was then, probably not.

I wasn't running either WeatherPanel or WP-Pilot at the time I tried since I had just recently done a hard reset. I did try installing WeatherPanel and WP-Pilot 2.0 tonight and it didn't make a difference to whether or not I could move Mobile Shell. I couldn't even get the dialog to open to get to "Check Today Plugin Order". Whenever I would hold down on the center button, nothing would happen until I released it, at which time whatever item the pointer was on would activate. Weird that I couldn't get it to work -- I tried with WP-Pilot above and below WeatherPanel, invisible and 1 pixel.

I ended up looking through the registry and comparing the Today entries for phoneAlarm and Mobile Shell and tried changing a couple of items. Lo and behold, after a soft reset, Mobile Shell was moved all the way to the bottom. I went into the Today Settings and now had the ability to move Mobile Shell down. The question will be whether or not Mobile Shell tries to reset the registry if I need to change any settings, which would cause it to revert back to the original behavior after a reset. Thanks for your help anyway!
