Is there a way to make the icons unde Start->Programs, Start->Settings etc., smaller and/or display in a list like in Windows on a PC ?
Maybe a 3rd party program or a setting on the device itself?
Thanks
Anyone ?
GSPocketMagic makes the start menu list all apps in cascading menus much like Windows XP does. If you have more apps listed than fit on the screen you have scoll through them and it's rather slow to get to those at the bottom if you have a long list. In landscape mode I've gotten pretty quick launching apps using the keyboard - Windows key - [P]rograms - then type the first letter of the program you want to laucnh and it takes you to the first program that starts with that letter, keep pressing that letter and it will cyle through all of them, hit enter and the program will launch.
I find this method to be much quicker than scrolling through a long list of programs.
Thanks, I'll check out GPSPocketMagic and try your system.
Is it the start menu, or the programs explorer you wanted small?
This is possible:
Before:

I wish to see a pocket excel file and pocket word doc on the same screen, so I can write down on my in word while I can still see whats in excel.
With out having to switch ( top and tail ) between two applications, I want to see both at the same time. Just like a windows desktop, were you can split applications and view two windows at once.
Is there any tool or way one can do this ?
I >think< the old task manager BananaPC could do it, but it doesn't look like it anymore:

There used to be one taskmanager that would kind of let you do it, but I haven't seen it for a long time.
VJSihaya was written to let me do stuff like this, but it's not publically released yet, and won't be for quite a while to come.

Vijay,
Very nice. Looking forward to it.
I also checked out your web site. Lots of good programs. What emulator are you using?
Cheers!
calculon (a Futurama fan?) Which emulator are you referring to?
V
Vijay,
Sorry for not being more specific. I was referring to the Windows Mobile emulator. Is that what you use to test your programs?
I use the emulator in Visual Studio, but also test directly on my Universal in VGA and Magician for QVGA/WM2003.

I see there are a lot of homescreens and skins for the WM platform...but one thing that I'm really missing is some interfaces\apps for creating and sending SMS\MMS that are better suited for finger typing...since it all about touch on some devices...like my on Polaris
Does anyone know of something like that?
From what i gather sms\mms\email are all baked in to the outlook app on my device, but are there any better apps out there?
To faster create a new sms or mms, I use the HTC action screen.

The PocketCM contactmanager has a built-in SMS function. SMS history is shown threaded, MSN like. It does however have issues with several SIP panels, in my experience.
Just open PocketCM, scroll to a contact, select the contact and then select SMS to get in the messaging screen. The space in the bottom of the screen is for typing a new message. Four fingerfriendly clicks and you're typing away.
HOW CAN I SETUP THE HTC action screen. ?
THANKS
I've found the Cab on this topic.

Hi there,
i want to know where i can get this option:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",

}
The battery icon on the top
QuickMenu is a powerfull today menu replacement with alot of options like menu extensions, bluetooth control, task manager, battery indicator ... It works really fast and it's very usefull, saves alot of taps. Try QuickMeny to get in the game.
IMPORTANT
Best working with WM6 !
To install just copy the archive content into your Porgram Files folder, and then execute QuickMenu.exe !
To UNINSTALL just kill the QuickMenu.exe process with any task manager and delete, then delete the QuickMeny shortcut from /Windows/StartUp folder and restart your device !!!

So yeah I tried something similar to the previous post and I have lost my "x" button at the top right - to terminate active processes ya know? Does anyone know how to get this back (I did remove the program)
At the upper right, load taskmanager --> Keys --> close Apps on x pressing
I have AT&T tilt with WM 6.1 rom. I'm using skyfire everyday. One of a kind!
I'm watching this website www.kab.tv most of the time while i'm driving.
so, I have to fire up the skyfire by touching the icon on my tray in the bottom of the screen, then I have to wait 30 seconds for it to get to the homepage, then i'm touching the bookmarks and after few second I can choose my website.
It's kind of not safe to do that while I'm driving

Is there any way to have a website shortcut or some plugin on/for the today screen?
all I wish is to touch the icon on the today screen and have my website open without doing all of the above.
I know jB5 browser has the ability to have 3 shortcut on the today screen.
Thanks
you are right, thats not a safe method but watching videos while drivings is never safe
you need a plugin/launcher or a GUI with icons that can open a exe like "skyfire.exe" with a parameter like "http:\\www.yahoo.com". i think there are many apps out here.
Can you please name one? so I'll know what to look for. Thanks.
you may try ultimate launch,but it s not for free....
i set a tab with my bookmarks, you just need skyfire to be your default browser
I'm sick of modern UI styles. The worst thing about 'em is "Hamburger menu".
1) It's button is in FAR LEFT corner of the screen. Of my 4.8" screen! And there are 6"+ screens already.
2) Oh, you think "there is a gesture to open the menu if you don't like the button". But it's conflicting with PIVOTS!
So... I made an example app with a usable interface. And I release it as a source so YOU, developers, can use it. No license, you're free to use it as you want (without warranty of any kind of course). However I'll be happy if you mention me in about page of your app.
First of all screenshots:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What's done:
1) Menu button moved to the bottom.
2) First (and most used menu item) is lowest. ListBox is upside down.
3) No gestures.
4) No pages with crazy navigation history. Most used features are on main page, others are on external pages.
5) Each PivotItem can easily have its own AppBar (it's not system AppBar).
I have more ideas and this project will evolve for some time.
Now, the source: https://github.com/LONELY-WOLF/InterfaceSample
Added "..." button with menu. Style is ugly for now.
Hamburger now closes if you tap right from it.
