Hey guys, I've been searching the forums and can't find a way to remove the start text. How do I do this?
Thanks
bump
if I wasn't specific enough, I don't want it to say Start on the today screen. I only want the windows logo to be there.
thanks
I searched a while back, couldn't find out how to do that either. I also wanted to removed the gradient background behind it on the home screen. That would allow me to use smarttook kit's auto-hide feature. Free home some home screen space and add a pretty cool affect. I don't know if it's in the registry or not, but I looked on my Excalibur and couldn't make it happen. I also tried a few things in the homescreens xml file. Still drew a blank.
Hopefully someone knows how to do this.
wisbar advance can do it
Possible in one of the "today*.dll" files. I tried to copy to desktop so I can take a look but can't gain access.
Anyone know how to get system files off a device?

hello hello!
im new around here, so apologies if this has been asked before, ive done a looooad of looking and couldnt find anything, so..
ive just purchased spb mobile shell, and love it! but i was wondering if there was any way to change the names of the menus (for instance instead of 'Contacts' i could rename it to 'Phone Book' etcetera..) that appear as the buttons on the bottom taskbar?
cheers

you should try the spb forum, though i doubt they would give an answer
thats what i thought too!
i had a tentative poke around the registry to see if i could do it through there, but i dont think i can (though, im more of a novice to this sort of thing anyway )
its a shame because its a lovely piece of kit for the phone, i just want that extra kick of customisation!

find softkey applet.
mate, absolutely top notch advice
i guess it helps knowing all the terminology a bit better!
edit: although in other menus (from the now screen for instance, softkey names remain the same!)
Rustynash,
A simple but effective tool called TWEAKS2K2 will allow you to do what you are asking to. See this link for further details. http://www.tweaks2k2.com/
Another app that will allow you to change the names is SKTools.

What you need to look for is: SoftKeyAppletEx.cpl
This is free and a must have! Drop the file in you windows folder and you will notice an extra option in your settings (might have to do a soft reset).
i appreciate all the advice, but whilst these methods are good enough to alter the today screen softkey names, it doesnt go to change the softkeys when theyre in anyhting other than the today screen (in MS for instance, the now screen still shows 'spb menu' when ive tried to alter it to 'menu')
any ideas?

That is because of the program. I do not think there is away to remove spb menu on the now screen.
How can I remove the bottom try on my today screen? The one that has the battery / comm manager icon?
Thanks in advance
go to \Windows\Start up\ and remove/move the "initTray"
Thanks... I should have searched first... I found it in 2 seconds.
WOW that worked great... Thanks you for that... it was something I have been looking for.
now for another question... how to I remove the top bar all together, or the bottom bar for that matter?
I was hoping I could get just a bottom bar that worked a little like the taskbar in windows. One not 2 bars to take up the main screen. I would be fine with removing either but I just feel that having both is TOOOO Much and just not required.
Thanks,
SuPerSoBBie
OK well first of all thank you for the info again... I have removed it and it was gone when I restarted my 8125.... but every time I plug it into the USB it pops back up and covers some of my screen.
??? any clue how to stop that ... along with my previous question?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
probably not. or use WAD to.
probably not... is that for both the remove bottom bar and the USB questions? I suppose I shouldn't have asked soo many questions at once. It just confuses me
Well either way Thanks nothin (did you notice I didnt use FOR in that statment)... and I have seen WAD but didnt really want to run such a bulky app. I was hope I could do it with reg or file manipulation. Oh Well...
Thanks again for your help.
SoBBie
hmmm, on second thought it may be possible, but cant check right now..
install vjtoggletoday, then go to its registry and try set "trayvisible" to 0...
(sorry for my funny english..)...
nothin... Thanks again for your responce. I do appreciate it. I just got VJToggle to give it a try. I find that it does remove the bottom bar and the top fine... but I am still having the problem when I sync my PDA the bar returns across the bottom of the screen. Sorry dont have a screen shot but here is what I see:
-----------------------------
STARTButton###########
TODAY PLUGINS
############sync icon##
TODAY PLUGIN (2 lines)
-----------------------------
When I softreset it is all gone (the way I want it) but when I plug into USB the sync icon taskbar returns.
Can this be completely removed where it does not come back. I am going to look into tweaking the sync program... maybe I can turn off the show icon in taskbar or something.
Thanks again for you help..

Are you using a program that allows you to control your wizard from your pc? I can't remember the name of it right now, but when I used it it would cause the system tray to come back.

Remove them or change them? There aer a million soft key changers
I would just like to either hide it or remove it from my today screen. i use the HTC Home plugin which doesnt give me much space at the bottom for the rest of the plugins. the Calendar Contacts bar at the bottom takes up space that i would like to use for plugins
I'd like to get rid of this bottom bar as well and cannot find a way ... I'd like to be able to hide the top start bar as well.
Here is the wisdom with which you seek:
Just place the .exe file in your Windows/Startup folder on your phone, reboot and your bar will be gone.
Go and sin no more.

Great little tweek really cleans up my Today screen!
Great, i was looking for a tweak to this too. Thanks a bunch.
Anyone know a hack to keep all of WM6 in full screen mode?
I'd like all apps to behave like PIE in full screen mode. The start bar and bottom bar remain hidden until you press a hard button.
Any ideas?
Thx for this!
OMFG! I'm the FIRST person to comment on this in over FOUR YEARS?! lol Still rollin with the Titan (Mogul)! Old School to the Core, I am! tried various other botom bar hiders/removers. I think the Today Shrink 1 got rid of my sms altogether!
(or maybe the culprit was the patched M2D I tried to install.) Either way, after that little fiasco I trusted NEITHER ONE! thx much for this tiny tool. - The Jackal
Hi Guys,
Im looking for an ez to use app that would allow me to hide the bottom softkeys on the today screen but keep them active without having to do reg tweaks. I've searched high and low but no luck. Thanks.

Hi. it's not workin in wm 6.5, it just hide the softkey text, not the whole bar, any solution?
Both noDciBar and PMC TodayShrink aren't working... They'll work when they want and start when they want. Are there any others?

im trying to change my icons on the manila but only some of them change does anyone know how to fix this proble thanks
Which icons have you changed and which ones are not changing?
the weather and the calender changed but the others did not music, internet search, settings, people,home
What program are you using to change the icons?
I have been using cfc-gui to change my icons and they are grouped together depending on what they are (i.e. - tray, hero, people screen, weather screen, etc.).
Are you trying to change your "tray" and "hero" icons or icons within each tab?
no programs just cabs from different people on this site
You're not making the rookie mistake that I made and installing a cab (to change the icons) on top of one that is already installed?
yup, so what do I do? Help me learn
Just uninstall all of them and soft reset. You should be okay.
how do i do that? where do i go
Click the Start button in the upper left hand corner.
Start>Settings>System>Remove Programs
Select a program and click "Remove" in the bottom right hand of the screen.
sorry for the missunderstanding i knwhow to remove programs i want to change the icons but i dont know why only some changed and would like all of them changed
It depends on the cabs. Some people change all of them and some only change some. For instance, my cab that I have installed doesn't change the photo, music, or AT&T tabs because I didn't include them in the changes.
can anyone post these? im trying to change the calendar and history icon under my clock.

No way he can do that
Reason he intalled diferent themes on top of others so soon he uninstalles one wen he gos for the next on there will be an error cause windows will not find a second backup of the original.
Sorry to tell you but you need to hard reset your device.
for anyone trying to modify there manila icons.
Use CFC Gui.
Intructions easy way.
Connect you phone on Sync to you device start CFC GUI should be a options to extract all manila files from you phone.
After that you will see all kind of images change the one you want then send it to you phone from CFC GUI more instruction on CFC Gui threat.
Hope i help you all

So it won't just uninstall what it can "find" and not worry about what it doesn't?
Also, when unintalling a program/theme, how does it know what to revert back to? Are the original files not overwritten/deleted?
