Smaller icons or list under Start->Programs etc.

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:
{
"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_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

RegHacks2006

RegHacks2006 is an application which implements some of the registry tweaks found on thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=35339
It gives you the opportunity to apply these tweaks without messing with the registry. Simply press a button to enable or disable the desired tweak.
It uses .NET CFv2 so if you don't have it already on your device you'll have to download it. The cab can be found here: http://www.iroot.ca/projects/simpleOS/files/NETCFv2.ppc.armv4.cab
I take no responsibility if any damage occurs to your device by using this software. I have tested it on my s100 and works without causing problems. Take a backup of your registry in case something goes wrong.
download it from: www.elefasdev.tk
{
"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"
}

Using 3rd party software makes things easier bu occupies valuable space. I prefer to tweak the registry myself.

this app is 19KB in size (not considering .NET CF2 size). So it is does not occupy so much valuable space. Plus when you make the changes you like, you can close it or even remove it from your system.
Anyway, it is addressed to whoever may find it useful. Thanks for your comments .

Sounds useful for the less experienced & brave among us. Though .net v2 is a moloch :-( & IMHO not worth it.

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_download": "Download",

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

[App] ScreenRotator by Brins0net

Just sharing what I found:
Screen Rotator detects the orientation of the device and uses its built-in configuration dialogues to create rotation behavior rules for specific applications, with an extended option to blacklist and whitelist un/wanted programs. A very neat feature is that it will turn the screen off if the device is placed face down but it also has a great option to prevent the screen from going off automatically if the device is not perfectly laid down flat (otherwise, when flat, normal behavior occurs).
After downloading and installing it to Device, it will stay resident after launching and get the device orientation in order to properly rotate the Windows environment, though it has options for minimizing and hiding.

P.S. Hope the real developer will notice this thread (unless he has done so), and maintain it, after deleting this thread completely and openning a new one, as this is a great application with some extra cool functions, compared to SKKV Software’s GSen.

Noticed the thread is there ..... ADMINS ... kindly remove this thread completely, thank you.

RAM(Program) Memory 336.97MB or 448MB???

I have got a HD2 but would like to know what my program/RAM memory size should be?
Mine seems to have 336.97MB as shown in the screenshot below...but the official specification for the HD2 states that i should have 448MB.
Could people please check their devices and report below what size they have?

It's been reported several times. You have 448 installed but not all of that memory is available to applications, some memory is used for system critical components and possibly video. You can think about it this simplified way: your operating system allocates memory to applications, but when you turn your device on, it's not even loaded yet. And even during boot time you need things like display driver, OS loader to work and have memory available. That's where the difference between 448 and whatever WM reports goes.

No reason to be alarmed, Dragon. That's the way it is...
Checkout this particular video review (jump to 5:10) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUa1TJ3DXJo

The difference is just for video and what is currently running. (Touchflow, basic services etc) Rest is for programs.
