MDA PRO - How to change default assigned status bar function

By status bar functions I mean the functions that appear on the bottom line either side of the keybaord icon.
On my MDA PRO these are Messages and Calender.
I would prefer contacts.
Not found anywhere ,where this is set.
What would be nice is if the bar that displays these functions was transparant.

But you have a contacts button available. Why do you want two?
Here is a possible solution:
TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Open your registry
HKCU\software\microsoft\today\keys\112
Change the (default) key from Messages to Contacts
Change the Open key from \windows\htcmessages.exe to \windows\start menu\contacts

Contacts button?
Well I have had a few too many glasses of wine this lunch time.
Just turned on my PDA (MDA PRO)
It screen out , eg folded with screen visible and keypad hidden.
Screen is on. Where is the contact button? I have to go into Phone to get to contacts?
I may re assign the camera button, but want to change the options at the bottom of the screen. I can reach them with my thumb.
Cheers.

FYI on the O2 XDA Exec I have the following keys:
Open "\windows\calendar.lnk"
OldOpen "Calendar.exe"
Default "Calendar"
Whic gives me left soft key 'Calendar'
Where does the right soft key 'Contacts' get set?

I think you have had one too many this lunch time.
Along the top of the keyboard you have:
button 1 - open phone
button 2 - messages
button 3 - contacts
button 4 - video phone
button 5 - calendar
button 6 - close phone

What keyboard, my phone is screen out, keyboard hidden.
As I highlighted, I want a fast button / task bar option for contacts , without twisting to reveal keyboard.

Sorry GDawes it must have been me that had one to many sherberts at lunch time:
Anyway here is what you need to do!
Open your registry
HKCU\software\microsoft\today\keys\112
Change the (default) key from Messages to Contacts
Change the Open key from \windows\htcmessages.exe to \windows\Appbuttons\Contacts.lnk
Soft reset
JOB DONE!

Selecting non consecutive items

Hello everybody. I've got two unrelated questions...
1)In a number of programs that use list views, e.g. contacts, messaging, notes... you can select more than one item by either dragging your stylus across the items you want to select or click on menu and then edit> select all or several. but what if the items you want to select are not in order? I wonder if there's any way you can do that akin to Windows desktop use of control clicking the items you want to select. in my previous E90, you could do that by holding ctrl while selecting the items....
2) I can't seem to paste any rss URL in the appropriate field in the Sony Ericsson Panels, I find myself having to manually type in the address even though I copy the address in Opera and go to the field and hold-tap the screen untill I get the "paste" menu item then i click on it, but nothing is pasted, is this a bug?? thanks in advance......

If the manipulations you want to do are on files, Total Commander (a file explorer) has a ctrl button along the bottom of the screen. Just use it like you use in Windows.

Thanks a lot man... any answer to the 2nd question???

How to change Topaz start menu icon files?

I've done some extensive searching for this one and come up with nothing...
I've found the path to start menu icons on a registry editor, which leads to a .qtc file on HTC-added applications but this field is blank when I highlight a program's IconPath for any applications I have added, eg. Skype, Facebook etc.
How do I go about changing any of the start menu icons to files of my choosing? eg. to some of the brilliant files from iREFLECT to name but one pack.

YOu can change the menu facelift by refering to tweak guide fROM tOPAZ Tweak page
and lok for TF3D Start Menu option. It is a bit manual & you need to get into registry editor to do that.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
For the plugin names you have to modify the registry, in each one of the plugins under HKLM/Software/Microsoft/CHome.
For the Taskbar and the expanded Taskbar menu there are cabs with skins in the different forums, depending of the resolution of your device, just search for them.
