QUESTION regarding today top and bottom bars - P3600 General

When i choose a picture as a wallpaper, it onli appears in the middle of the screen. It doesnt appear on the top bar (the start menu area) or the bottom bar (near softkeys).
what i wanna do is make the picture fit the entire screen, or at least make the bars opaque-ish so i can see the picture. I think the pictures will look much much better that way. Is there any way to do this?

try editing the picture with paint (or similar) to size 240x320.
if that doesn't help, i've no idea what else to do.

I have this idea also for a fue weeks now, this will be realy nice to see. Because now i dont have to many plugins on today screen because that scroll bar is so ugly and anoying. Let's see what can be done
I'd love it, too. I know that too many plug-ins on today screen will decrease performance, but I'd just love to have weather plugin or quick dial pictures just below the bottom edge. That would be fantastic, especially when used with FTouchFlo...So...pretty pretty please!!!
Hello,
My todayscreen is about 500 pixels long, so with the ugly desent bar....You gues
With severals programs you can change the value of :
Horizontal Scrollbars Width (2)
Vertical Scrollbars Width (2)
Then there will be juste a black line....the scrolling you'll do with FtouchFlo
Yeah - I use 'FTouchFlo' and I can scroll on the today screen with my finger (you will have to make the vert, scroll bar thin as above post).
So search for 'FTouchFlo' on these forumns.
Yeah,but scroll bar is quite useful everywhere else,isn't it? Well,at least for me it is...

not when you have touchflo I rarely use the scroll bars unless im using the stylus but even with the stylus I don't always use the scroll bars anyway i just want the today screen scroll bars removed or something .
But its nice to know if you've got anywhere to scroll to in the first place,right? I like seeing where I am in the list,that's what I use scroll bars for. Just information. Also,sometimes you've got small menus popping down (for example when choosing appointment time or something) when scroll bars can be useful.

well then you wouldn't install the program if someone developed it. I would prefer a scroll bar less today screen and so would some other's, its not all that useful to me. I never put items over the limit cose in my opinion they look ugly. and a finger friendly way to scroll through the plug-ins on the today screen.
I agree with sebastian. I like to see a thin scroll bar of width 12px in IE when I check my gmail. I like to see when I'm close to the bottom of the page so I don't have to waste my time scrolling right down to the bottom. It would completely disorientate me to not know where I am in the many lists in all the programs I use, or to know how may things there are in my list. Wouldn't it with you?!
SMS, Resco file explorer, agenda one, Adobe acrobat, word, pocket E-sword, and file browsers in all my other programs (like TCPMP, SPB Imageer which i use frequently) are all pretty much screwed when I set the vertical scrollbar to minimum length 2. Besides that black line is pretty noticeable and annoying.
What we need please is a SEPARATE scroll bar for the today screen. I'd donate straight away for that.

I only want a program to get rind of the today screen scroll bar not for evenything, an alternative i wouldn't mind is a program to make the scroll bar less that 10px which is the current minimum. what exactly do you mean by separate scroll bar?
What I (and I'm pretty sure the others) mean is:
We want to be able to scroll up and down on the today screen without an ugly scroll bar AT ALL (an invisible one),
But leave alone the normal scroll bar in all the programs we use. I don't want to get rid of that!
Besides, you can't make it invisible, the registry only allows it a minimum of 2px. To resize it, try SKTools or google/search the forum for the registry hack.

this is the reg hack:
To change the thickness of the scrollbars at the right/bottom of documents larger than the screen, adjust...
For the horizontal (bottom) scrollbar:
HKLM\System\GWE\cyHScr = 9 (DWORD decimal)
For the vertical (right) scrollbar:
HKLM\System\GWE\cxVScr = 9 (DWORD decimal)
The default thickness is 13. You can set the value to pretty much anything you like > if you dont wanna see it > 0

TouchFlo home screen

I like a lot the standard clock, the one with big white squares. But sometimes those squares disappear, and I am left with just small white letters. Soft reset takes care of it, but is there an easier way to get standard clock back? And why does it go away to begin with? Thanks
On the Homescreen, run your finger from top to bottom which should scroll the big clock back.
HTH
Mal
To follow on from Mal's point...
(this might be obvouos but just-in-caase)
You might notice when the clock is big there's a small downwards pointing white triange below the bottom calandar entry.
if you happen to swipe upwards the clock changes to just digits
and an upwards pointing triange apperas just above call history
swiping downwards reverts back to a big clock
Thanks a lot to both responders

Expand display image

If I look carefully my display I can notice that display image is not properly centered, infact it has two different black vertical bounds.
I would like to expand image to cover all the display area (like a regulation for lcd displays for example...).
Is it possible??

Hi. That's a bit vague - difficult to understand. Can you take a screenshot so we can see what you mean?
Yes I know it is a bit vague, but unfortunately I can't take any screenshot of this, bacause it would show nothing about this problem... I'll had to use an external camera, but at moment the only one I have is the leo's one...
Let me see if I can explain in little words... what I see is that the potential area of display is for example 480x800, but the real display (image on display) is smaller leaving black bounds all around it; it seems projected to a smaller surface, resulting in a smaller display experience (not so much to be honest ).
Given that in all pc monitors you can adjust image position and size to best fit its window, I was asking if it could be possible also on this leo device.
Hope you can better understand now...
If, for example, I open Internet Explorer and wait till the address bar and bottom buttons disappear, I'm left with a mostly white display. There IS a border of about 1mm all the way round this.
Is this what you are talking about?
Yes, it should be! In my case the stripe on the left side is a bit thinner than the one on the right...

That's not an active display area. The display shouldn't go to the very edge, so there's nothing wrong with your phone, and no, you can't expand the display.
Ok, thanks a lot!

Lock screen wallpaper

hi there, i have a picture of my missus that i want to put as the lock screen wallpaper however it tiles the same picture as it is smaller than the screen (480x800). i was wondreing if there was a way of getting the picture to be centred in the screen, with a blank background, similar to the XP setting.
i have tried enlarging the photo to 480 x 800 but it doesnt look right

You need something that will resize it and keep the aspect ratio, and then resize it to either 480x... or ...x800, then add a black background to fill the gaps at the top & bottom or sides.
I'll do it for you if you like - just send me a link to the pic.
ah okayyy i think i could work that, i;ll give it a go and if i fail then i will send you a link...cheers
you're a diamond mate, worked a treat just gotta make the top and bottom bar transparent then its looking mint!
Oh by the way could you please let me know how to set the lock screen wallpaper and thanks.

Cool page swipe action

I was just reading the latest gossip on Nexus phones. Saw a home screen shot of a page of icons and the icons looked slanted. Then it hit me - instead of swiping from screen to screen, what if the block icons (apps) just appear to individually rotate to the icon in that same position on the next page! Or put another way, the flat icon is actually a four sided box and only one side shows at a time. Swipe and all the boxes rotate to the next side you swipe toward. A widget would seem to rotate and morph into whatever is on the next home screen page!
That might look pretty 'fresh' compared to the current way of screen refresh we now know.?.
Sound promising?
So basically, like a Rubik's cube? Or am I picturing it wrong?
Yep. Looks like the icon of a specific app rotates as it was a cube. Are we right?
