Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to change the preset values on the drop-down menu in the subject field when creating a new appointment in pocket calendar??
I love everything about this machine but this is the only annoying thing because i have alot of appointments that start with the same subject, it would be easier to click the correct subject and add the bits that are needed.
I tried looking in the registry and searching for the fields but I couldnt find anything that existed! This is the only feature missing in my mind!! if anyone knows a way to fix these presets to different values that would be great.
Regards
Matt

Hello.
Just wish to know is there any guide on tweaking the reg.key for some system setting, for example, to change the colour of the text at the today screen, etc.
Thanks

Sure just search the site. An example for the start menu can be found in the following thread:

Thanks.
Is there a list that show the various keywords for the various setting, i.e. the colour of each element, the timing setting, etc ?
Thanks.
Raymond
Do you think it would be possible to even change menu langage in the reg.key?
What I want to change is for ex. the pre made alternatives that you can use when edeting a new task "call", "meet", "update", etc.
I would like to have those in Swedish, may that be possible?

Appologies if this has been covered before. I searched a few ways but found nothing.
I am trying to change the color of the battery, sound, sync, etc icons. I looked through all the materials for themes and windows internal colors and was unable to find a registry key for them. I tried tweaking all the values for unknown keys and still had no effect. I located the icons in the windows directory and they appear to be using the classic two color substitution game for .bmp files. I have been trying to determine how windows mobile assigns the color for the icons but have been unable to locate it.
I was curious if anyone knew or had come across how windows deals with this, if it was some obscure registry key or came from somewhere in the rom. I had located online allusions to the idea that oems could mess with the icons but unfortunately no details to explain how.
If you can help, I would be most thankful.

They're bitmaps embedded in some of the rom dlls. I posted about it once, but couldn't find my own post on the issue . I think I know a way to change them now, but can't remember which dll they were in. I think it was shell*dll or something... if and when and remember, I'll try knocking together a solution.

Interesting, I'll look around in the dlls and see what I can find. I found what seemed to be the bitmaps used in the bar lying loose in the \Windows directory. I'll try editing them to see if it changes their appearance in the top row.
I am most interested in changing their color. I cannot seem to find anywhere where they they derrive the values that the icons substitute colors for.
Thanks for your response.
V
the file was shellres32.dll
Here is the post where we were talking about this i still never managed to do it so if you have figured out a way would be much appreicated.

you can... at least start.
How do you see it? what setting?
The challenge, apart from coding it, is to make it usable while keeping the required flexibity.
ok,
i would llike to see it be able to change.
type of all fonts (by picking the location like contacts, sms, etc.)
color of all fonts (by picking the location like contacts, sms, etc.)
size of all fonts (by picking the location like contacts, sms, etc.)
color of backgrounds (by picking the location like contacts, sms, etc.)
changing the tabs (by picking the location like contacts, sms, etc.)
photo size and placing either left or right on the screen.
changing the color and look of the sms bubble
thats so far what i have in mind but i am sure i can come up with more.
oh one more thing to tene i would like to ask if with your talent if you can start a development of a iphone like launcher but i do not what it to look like the iphone if you pm i can give you a better idea on what i am talking about thanks.
thanks,

that's not helpful (at all). You're basically creating a list of setting, I have this list, and more complete
The problem is to make it usable, practical and easy. I don't see that amount of settings helping anybody... the next step would be "a way to import/export setting easily", then people would just have to take pre-created settings file from other... hey wait that's just what we have right now.
I agree howeevr that some settings, settings not related to appearence but behavior could use a settings dialog. But what you're asking is a theme editr, not a setting dialog. And you should try edit the settings.ini, it's not really hard to do and a lot more flexible than any settings dialog (copy/paste, macro, serach and replace, fine tuning of resources, etc...)

tene,
i understand what you mean but there are some people that cant understand the setting.ini setup and dont have the time to learn. if there is way to be able to change your theme the why you want it and save it. that can help a lot of people who can not understand how and what to change in the setting for the theme and plus if you can see what you are changing in real time instead of guesting on what it will look like when you are done changing the setting in note pad on the pc.
thanks,
Hi All
I have seen that most of the PDAs in the Market doesnt show the SMS as its displayed on Nokia...
What i meant is any sms which has line my line message, is shown continuously in a single line on Magician....
Do any one have a fix for it...
Thanks in advance
Manmohan
You will have to either use a 3rd party SMS application, or do a registry edit to achieve this effect.
Can u pls let me know the registry key to be edited to achieve this effect....
I don't know how to do it myself, but I'm experimenting with my registry entries, trying to find anything that works. I'm sure that it can be done easily though.
Ok, I have a few questions that should have easy solutions that I just can't find... probably because what I'm looking for is pretty specific. Hopefully I can get answers to at least a few of them. I will start out by saying that I am currently running the Energy Reference ROM on a Touch Pro 2 (with plenty of RAM I might add). As I find solutions, I will post them below under the "Resolved" section, just in case someone else needs help as well.
Questions:
----- How do you change the color/skin of the stock dialer? The only one that I found searching was the "dusk" dialer... I'm looking for something that I can change the color of some of the buttons (to blue or something)... someone has to have a CAB with a bunch of different colors???
Resolved:
----- First... how do you change the panel backgrounds in SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.5? I'm not looking to add widgets... not looking to change the background of the Today screen (already have done that)... I'm looking to change the background of the panels ONLY. Without changing the layout of anything. Just the panels. I have tried a few programs/skins (Vostradamus, etc.)... and I just can't figure out how to do this simple thing with them. So I'm hoping there's an easier way (registry edit, setting that I'm just not seeing, etc.).
Fix: ----- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4766529&postcount=730 (make SURE to use WinZip, NOT WinRar or anything else)
----- Second, for some reason, I can't see the settings of "Smartlock" in the SPB settings view (as in, if I go through SPB Mobile to get to "Settings", Smartlock isn't there). However, Smartlock is visible when I switch over to the "stock" Start Menu. So is there any way for Smartlock to appear in the SPB Mobile "Settings" tab? It's pretty weird that it isn't there (ALL of the other programs/settings functions show up, but not Smartlock).
Fix: ----- This fixed itself after a clean reinstall of SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.5.
----- Is it possible to keep all the "stock" icons up on top of the screen and add the clock display?
(I currently have the "data" icon, "signal strength" icon, "phone volume" icon, and "battery" icon... with room for the "X"/"OK" icon when a program is running)
I am looking to keep all of those icons while adding the clock display. Don't know if it's possible, but I thought I would ask.
IF it is possible to put the clock up there, would this be compatible with "Brian's Taskbar" to make the icons colorful? I don't have it on there yet, but I'm just wondering for future reference.
Fix: ----- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=612083 (Battclock program... I'm still trying to figure out how to perfect it though). Doesn't appear to be very compatible if you have multiple backgrounds/different screens... but it'll work on at least one of the screens.
----- In the "stock" contacts, there are a few different "filters" (viewed via the menu button). To avoid duplication, I would like to have it always set to "Device Conacts", rather than "All Contacts" ("All Contacts contains SIM and device... which results in duplication). You can change it temporarily but selecting "Device Contacts", but when you re-enter it, it automatically switches back. If anyone knows of a way to permanently/by default choose "Device Contacts", that would be what I'm looking for.
Fix: ----- Registry edit... HKCU/Control Panel/Phone/ShowSim (change from 1 to 0, and they will be gone).
I can help with "third"... look at battclock. It is completely customizable and completely great. Alternatively, there is an option in the settings to display just a clock instead of battery meter in the task bar.
For the "first", try this post from the tips and tricks thread (may need to back out and read some surrounding posts to get a better idea)

Thanks for the suggestions.
I'm looking into the Battclock program, so I will update when I figure that out.
Thanks for showing me that thread for the "first" issue... that led me to the link that I posted in my first post, which is for 3.5.5 (I'm sure they're both the same... but the link I posted makes it pretty easy to understand I think).
Still looking for a solution for the color of the dialer/dialpad. I think I'm just going to have to either delete all of the SIM contacts and same them on my computer (to upload later when I switch phones or whatever).
