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

Why is our WM 6.1 Different?

If you look at some of the other roms out there for like the Tytn and Kaiser to name a few....why does it show on some of their screenshots what looks like minimized programs on the Top Bar. You know,...just like when you minimize something in Windows XP in appears on the bottom right next to the start bar. SO MY QUESTION IS...WHY DONT OURS DO THAT???

Enlarged start menu - tips and help!

Hi, I'm in need of a working "enlarged start menu"-application on my SE X1. The thing is that I really much need it to be freeware, and I suppose that "XDA-Team Enlarged Start Menu" isn't (correct?). I'm thinking about developing the application myself, but I would like to know if anyone here has any information about where to start? Is is just a matter of changing some registry keys? XML-files? Thankful for all the help i can get!

as far as i understand, the XDA Enlarged Start Menu is just taken from one of the other HTC devices and is not "payware" or anything like that.
if anyone was developing an enlarged Start Menu, i'd love to see a kinda fullscreen version, this would make it much easier to navigate. kinda in the style of iContact or the latest volume control taken from Diamond. i don't really se why the start menu needs to be only a percentage of the screen size anyway, just seems like bad design, they've made it look like the Start Menu on a Windows Desktop PC so that we all know it's Windows, but have not actually thought about the interface being user friendly for a handheld device. for drunk people with fat fingers. like me.

yes man, I absolutely agree !!! It´s funny, I never really thought about start menu, but now when I read your suggestion it just seems really crazy how much possibilities for improvement there are.
I thought about a completely customizable start menu, fullscreen.
Maybe with a kind of plugin system, volume / vib toggle, backlight strength slider, power off+soft-reset buttons....*sigh* THAT would be cool !

Martin

What about Touch Launcher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433862

It´s a normal app, but I was talking about a REAL replacement. It should hide when I tap "Start" again, and, as I said, it should be really customizable.
To all devs out there: Is anyone interested in coding such an app ? I think this is desperatly needed to make WM a bit more usable, although there are already tons of good software out there.

Martin

Did u try Quickmenu 2.7?

hmmm, main thing i want is fullscreen. that one seems nice feature-wise, but it's not what i'm after.
devs, do any of you know how they changed the size of the Start Menu from the old style to the new enlarged one?
if we know how to do this then maybe we can hack the existing app to at least lengthen right across the width of the screen... or if it was hacked with a config we could pick how many items we wanted...
this could be a great project for the coders!

Well, quickmenu is _almost_ perfect. If it only was more finger-friendly. Being able to scroll trough menus like in icontact and all so many other apps would be great for it, but at least having twice as big menu entries would be enough in most cases. It has all the features needed, it just mimicks the original start menu a bit too much

Touch menu from touch commander suite is exactly what you want,and it has and application menu enlarged. Unfortunaly its not freeware.

Here is little something about system fonts:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms901091.aspx
By changing some registry values you can change size of start menu (including font size etc.) and popup menu as well.

Ohh thankyou! But, using PHM Regedit I've tried changing the Ht-value for BarFnt, which didn't do anything. Perhaps you have some pointers to what I should try?

BarFnt values are for menu bars (for example: bottom bar in total commander).
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\PopFnt
is for popup menu (screen 1 shows Ht value of 1200)
Truly, I don't know how to change start menu font size via registry.
If you want to have full screen menu try mort buttons

can you launch mort buttons by tapping Start on the screen?

maybe by editing the registry ?

If anyone can duplicate the Touch Commander one it would be perfect. I have touchcommander but do not use it anymore, unfortunately you have to install the whole program to be able to use the Large menu option.
The great thing about it is it enlarges menus in all programs.

Sorry for bringing up an older thread, but I think this is still unsolved!
I also would like to have a fullscreen start menu. I tried quickmenu 2.8,but it just isnt what Im looking for. For me it would be fine if clicking on the start menu would bring up a dialog like when you click startmenu -- programs.
Hope that someone has an idea!

QUICKMENU 2.8 for me too... ^_^
I'd only add that scroll movement and ability to customize the start icon (it already does this, but only with one icon).

[REQ] WM 6.5 lock slider

Hi everyone!
can someone change WM 6.5 lock, so when I slide it to left it opens start menu and when i slide it to right it opens home screen, or tell me how to do it?
does something like that already exist?
thanks for reply!

I see there is no interest in this thread...

i did not heard about it yet...

Don't know if it's possible without the lock API opened up.

can you tell me exactly which file do I need to edit?
I'll try to do it myself...I know basics of programing (finished 4 years of computer science school)

\Windows\LS_LockScene_480x640.cpr
(the filename depends of course on your screens' resolution)
I'm going to look into it myself.

Change banner text

Hi, I've searched but I could possibly be using the wrong search terms.
Looking to change the text that displays in the banner where it would say AT&T 3G? I've seen it done just now can't find it.
Any help appreciated, thanks.

Check out the screenshot below...see the custom title in the top left under the start menu, is that what you're talking about? If so, the attached cab is what you'll need to put your own custom title there...just install and run it, it's nothing but a simple text box where you can enter whatever you're heart desires

Does this work on Windows Mobile 6.5? On any service carrier?

Yes, it's been used successfully on many different devices on many different carriers.

Thanks, that worked for the carrier name on the s2u2 lockscreen, but I guess Energy is doing something on the Today banner to override both the Personalizer and the Carrier.

Gotcha, or is that Energy ROM 6.5.3? That may be the difference too....I know it works on 6.5, but I'm not sure about 6.5.3

They actually came as part of a theme, done by xda memeber s2w, you can find that theme on THIS page where he has a bunch, it's called "Dark Revised"

I have installed "Personalizer_3.1.cab" on my TP2 with orignal wm6.5 rom with sense 2.5...
But I can't finde shortcut named Personalizer in my Start Menu...
Can anyone tell med Step by Step what to do?

Check out my post 2 above yours there... the look you're seeing is mostly due to a theme called "Dark Revised" by s2w, and it's available on that page I linked to along with several others he's done. The taskbar icons at the top are from Spike's popular MicNeo set, varient_V2 to be exact, I've attached the cab for that below.

If you are using the Energy Rom....

That is a feature you can edit on the energy Rom. If you are using the one with cookie home tabs, all you have to do is go to the cookie home tab editor and go to advanced, at the very bottom is a choice to change the text that appears in that area. Just click on that box, and it will open the editor to change that text.
Hope that helps.

Perfect, thanks!
