Default Spb Pocket Plus 3.1 Released

http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pro.../pocketplus/?en

"The most powerful Today plug-in with tabs. Close button that really closes. ZIP support in File Explorer. And many other features missing in official OS updates in one product."



Spb Software House has just released Spb Pocket Plus 3.1 with plenty of new features and bug fixes for you to enjoy. Among the changes, you'll find improved compatibility with Windows Mobile 5.0, a new component uninstall tool, alpha channel support for the Today plug-in icons, a new icon library, extended backlight indicator support, and a battery drain fix. It's a free update for all v3.x users. If you've yet to try the application, you can download a free trial version from our affiliate software store, and purchase the full version for $24.95.

I installed in the morning and I like the way they changed some icons and it seems to me that it's using less memory now. But.... The System Icons for Memory and Storage Devices are big now (32x32) and I can't find a way to make them look smaller (16x16), that was the way I had them before.

Anyone knows how to change them to that size?????

Is it me, or does it now have a much bigger footprint? I seem to have 2MB less storage memory after installing v3.1 compared to v30.

I love that you can remove features that you don't use now! Great idea!

2 questions about that:

If you remove features can you get them back by reinstalling?

And do the today themes show up as items to be uninstalled? I forgot to look as i always move them to my storage cars.

Edit: I just copied the today themes back from my SD card and they do show up under the remove parts!! And you can remove them individualy or all at once! Great work.

What happens if you delete all the icons? Is there any one that you need to leave for plus to work?

Aren't these linked to the extended themes? If you enter the Pocket Plus settings, highlight "Today Plug-in", select Feature Options, then the Appearance tab, you can choose whether to have those indicators follow the original theme or the extended theme.

The general advice is to uninstall the older version, then install the newer version. If you have a Windows Mobile 5.0 device, you'll have little choice in the matter, anyway, since it now forces an uninstall/reinstall routine.

Ok, i got impatient so forget most of my original post.

I uninstalled everything I don't use including all icons except the tab icons. I have LoAdS more space now!

This has to be the best update to pocket plus ever.

I'd imagine. Reinstalling should simply "repair" the original installation by deploying the default program files. Generally, I think you only need to resort to uninstalling components if you're running really low on storage space. If you have a lot to spare and you don't use a certain feature in Pocket Plus, simply disable it.

You can also remove them in the Today applet by tapping Start > Settings > Today. Actually, this feature has existed for a long time now.

Edit: Oops, didn't see your new post.
