ShellExtension 2.0 User Manual

Overview

ShellExtension modifies the SPB mobile shell and extents it with extra features. It does its

modification on the fly. There are no files that are overwritten. It changes the files inside.

So, in most cases it can change your modified SPB shell.

Software Features

Options:

A lot of SPB Shell users who want to mod there shell has problems with extracting en

compacting the qa_layouts.dat file. With ShellExtension it‟s possible to extract all the

files from the qa_layouts.dat Zip file to the Qa_layout folder in the SPB Shell programs

folder. And Compact files into the qa_layouts.dat from the ZipToDat folder.

(the folders are automatically generated by ShellExtension)

The first time ShellExtension launches; it makes a backup of the qa_layouts.dat file.

(see qa_layouts_bup.dat in the SPB Shell root.) In the <Options> section you can restore

that file overriding the qa_layouts.dat file without warnings. Be careful! it restores to the

point you first launched ShellExtension. With other words all the mods installed after that

point will be removed. Please, also see ”Restoring qa_layouts_bup.dat” .

Now-screen:

With ShellExtension it‟s possible to make 6 extra Lifestyle ”lookalike” screens. You can

give each screen the name, shortcut icon, page count and menu bar you want.

ShellExtension also makes the new screen visible on the carousel and makes a shortcut

to that screen in the tools section of the SPB menu.

Menu bar:

With ShellExtension you can change the menu bar of the now-screens. You can make

one menu bar for all the now-screens or you can change the menu bar for each now-

screen separately.

You can put from 0 to 4 buttons on a menu bar. The button can start functions made by

SPB Shell like: -ToDay -Lifestyle Home, -Professional Home, the Now-screens you made,

-Favorites Programs, -SPB Menu, -Launcher, -Task manager, -Wireless manager (not

in SPB version 3.5), -Weather, -Weather conditions (not in SPB version 3.0.1), -Agenda,

-Time,

-Telephone Profile,-Profile, -Backlight,-Call logs, -Fav Contacts, -SPB Contacts and

-Contact carousel. You can Change the icon and name for each button. It‟s also possible

to remove the text per button. Without the text, the button is correctly placed (lower) on

the menu bar. If 0 buttons is selected, ShellExtension automatically removes the recycle

bin and makes the screen larger (in landscape wider) So you can put widgets on that

space.

Carousel:

Change the now-screens and tabs in the carousel. You can add, remove or arrange the

tabs. Or change the texts of the specified carousel screen.

Language:

ShellExtension supports the language supported by SPB Shell. It uses for 75% the

translation of SPB Shell. The extra text specific to ShellExtension is placed in a separate

zip file without password. With ShellExtension it‟s possible to change all the text of your

choice.
