clear type in landscape mode

I tried out the "Molski" cab for this out of curiosity. Hey it works a treat!
Goggle Moski.biz (i think) No strange effects or colours.

you can just do this with a registry edit if you would want it... instead of using memory or space to install a program to give you the same effect

you're right of course but this programm is so small and it's easier to undo if necissary. Highly recommended for those who don't like the look of text in the Landscape mode.

New Ideas for S2U2 Settings....

I would just like to start this thread to post some idea's I have that I think need to be included in a future release of the Settings app for S2U2.
1. Ability to choose any wallpaper on the device. (JPG/GIF) Not be just stuck to having to copy/paste into the GFX directory, as the filename of wallpaper.gif or wallpaper.jpg.
-FIXED: Use Slide2View posted here to change the wallpaper easily enough. I've known about the registry edit, but wanted a more streamlined solution. Guess this is it!
2. Have theme type files. Kinda like the tsk files for the today screen.
Few more I'll post later as I think of them.... Just post more ideas!!

theme
How bout if you can to themes like pocketcm does it and you can change themes like pocketcm.

lennysh ur suggestion works since forever, you have to edit the path in the resgistry. i dont remember where exactly, that way u can run the wallpapers from SD..

Hey lennysh, you should check out S2V (Slide2View) also by A_C. This is a cool picture viewer and one of the options is to make the currently viewed picture the wallpaper for S2U2!
I created a folder under My Pictures called Wallpapers. I put all my jpg and gifs (even animated gifs) in that folder. I can then browse those pics with S2V, and select one to be my wallpaper for S2U2. Very cool!
Hope that helps.

I think S2V should eventually be built into the S2U2 settings program.
An option I would like to see is password protected unlocking so that after you slide a dialpad shows up and you have to enter the password to unlock the phone.

an exclusion feature would be great because it's a bit disturbing while playing games..

there is an exclusion feature but it's accessed via a registry edit. go HKCU/software/A_C and there is a bunch of reg keys that start with "Exclusion1, Exclusion2, ....
Just add the name of the EXE that you want to exclude.
It would be nice if this was added to s2u2 settings via the gui but for now it works.

icon on screensaver?
First, Awesome app.
Now, when I launch S2U2 it works fantastic, but, there is a little icon that resembles a text document with a check on it and a number seven in a red circle just below it??? this is located just above the right corner of the unlock slide. Any thoughts?

just turn off task count in s2u2 settings

S2U2 and it's counter part S2V are both fabulous apps as far as single apps go. Yes S2U2 requires a regedit to use the directory of your choice unless you also install S2V..which begs the question...why?? I think they are both great apps but I am not sure I see the point of two separate apps when you need one to do something specific like choose the directory to use for pics.
So..what I would like to see is a merge of the two or make them two separate programs entirely. On that note, it would be nice to see a few of these great developers merge several of their apps into one nice compilation. There are obviously several "popular" apps that all perform entirely different functions. A compilation of these "popular" apps would make for a rather nice experience. And when I say compilation, I don't mean a .cab that includes these apps together, I mean one united program with all the functions streamlined and working together. Something like a mix of S2U2, Pictureflow, PocketCM and what ever all bundled seamlessly into ...say...a PointUI app or something along those lines.

guap,
where is the task count located?

it's somewhere in the s2u2 settings, set it to "off". otherwise, you may try to mark your "unread messages" in your inbox to "read messages", so the task count won't appear.. hope this helps.
thanks

I want S2U2 to be PointUI-ized.

It would be great if S2U2 could have an owner info on the start screen. Maybe an icon (similar to the weather icons) or as a small text below the slider.

Awesome apps, but the only problem faced by me in my iMate JAQ is changing the orientation of the setting screen. As directed I have changed to path clock to clockH, but it still doesn't work. Any help there?????????????

Slide2View is nice. I have both S2U2 0.98 and Slide2View in the same CAB file, with the additional clocks included. If anybody would like a copy, just let me know. I will also try and include some more stuff if I find some. It is set to use the HTC theme in S2U2.

Got it! Thanks for the info....I kinda hate to admit it but I did not know that the options was a scrollable page. After that I found it no problem. What a great app!!!

If not too much
s2u2 is a very great application.
if not too much..can he include a preview button in the next s2u2 setting? ok, maybe i'm too lazy too save and exit the setting before i can see the outcome of it. but it could be a nice add on in the next release.
thanks to A_C!

Hello Friends
One more time sorry for my english
My pourpose is the next one: When you close S2U2, it appears a window with message " S2U2 are closed", and a ok button to close it.
It's posible that the window disapear automatically after few seconds?.
Thanks.

The ability to either key in a simple pin or a strong alphanumeric password when you slide to unlock.
Invoking the WM6 one is messy/untidy.
Also create a Today plugin for S2U2 so you can invoke the lock directly off the Today screen.

Landscape in Diamond 2?

I have searched heaven and hell to find a way to get the D2 running in landscape view, that is for it to switch to landscape view when you rotate the screen. So far I have found apps that allows everything but manilla and its tabs (including home page) run in landscape.
Is there a way to do this?

You can make use of the Topaz drivers itself to do auto-rotation. You do not need to install additional application running in background.
There're some registry editings to be done. Nevertheless, you can use this application to help you enter those into the whitelist. You need to soft-reset after inputting all the applications you'd like to auto rotate.

I tried that, along with changescreen. I still can't bet the tabs screens to rotate. I don't know what I am doing wrong.

Landscape manila for d2 is more annoying then useful, if you tilt the phone past the tilt point either way (portrait or landscape) it will rotate and take at least half a second to change screen, and it enerally takes more to come back to portrait. This makes it difficult to immediately read stuff or accept calls as the screens changing layout and the buttons end up in different places.
Landscape would only be useful on phones like the pro2 and it's previous variants when you need landscape while the keyboards out. Other than that just make your mail programs etc landscape capable.
There are other threads with reg keys and apps to use, just follow those and see if they give you success.
Cheers,
Scott

Graphics from the manila tabs aka TD2 homescreen are not designed for lanfscape view, therefor its like Scott (post #4) sayd, more annoying than usefull.

Thanks a lot guys. I think I see your point. Funny thing is that it was my recently installed S2U app that drove it home. It was annoying as hell when it kept switching to views.

Background for all and transparent slider tab for T-Mobile 6.5 rom

all i want is to have the same background on all tabs and to have a transparent slider.
I've been looking for this like a crazy person and tried at least 5 different cabs and none work.
Any one can help me out

Hello
I think i can help you.I was searching for background on all tabs by yesterday
Try hd wall.You will get a result better than you want.
1-Just drag and drop your desired wallpaper for portrait mode
2-Then press landscape on the ta-op then drag and drop a wallpaper fits your landscape mode.
3-Click config and choose your appropriate Manila version then come back
4-Click create cab then choose both "include portrait wallpaper" and "include landscape wallpaper" then press convert button.That conversion porcess will take approximately 2 minutes.
5-Don't forget to consider where you want your cab file to be created checking the option on the top right.
6-And give a name in application title
7-You are ready to go.Press create cab and your cab will be created to the folder you chose so transfer it to your ppc and install then restart.This solved my problem.
And here is the cab to give your slider glass look

Hey man, do you happen to have that glass slider cab that you could just post here? Rapidshare is a pain, and I want to see how this one compares to a couple of others I have that are intended to do the same thing. Thanks!

1) Is the cab I attached below one of the ones you've already tried?
2) If you've followed the steps above to install one of the HDWalls wallpapers, and it appears everywhere but your home tab, then you need to just follow the instructions HERE (it's a common thing for people to have to apply those steps when using HDWalls wallpapers)

whenever i've tried to install that BG for all pages wvga.cab file, it messes up my clock display. the clock get's huge & i can even read it. am i doing something wrong? i'm on Verizon & running Windows Mobile 6.5.

Homescreen in landscape view

I apologise for asking a question that appears to have been asked alot, but I have been unable to find a definitive answer for my query after searching through the forums.
As I'm sure some of you have discovered with some landscape cabs, it can screw up the wonderous features of music and photo screens. So what I am looking for is a landscape cab that only manipulates the homescreen itself.
The closest thing I found was the Elegance Theme which unfortuantely forced me to hard reset my unit.
Does such a cab exist?
Cheers

I'm interested too because my previous device (HTC TP2) was able to show the homescreen in landscape modus.

Well i've managed to fudge the dialler to go landscape when handset is rotated.
But if handset is already in landscape position and i open the dialler it goes portrait and i have to move handset to portrait and back to get landscape view.
Rather frustrating when i'm driving!
Can anyone please shine any light on the homescreen issue or indeed how to get the dialler to open in landscape view when handset is in landscape position?
Update: For some reason dialler now recognises landscape view and opens in right orientation (having not changed a thing).

Thanks for you post MalekoUk, however as stated in the 1st post of this thread there are cabs out there that screw the features of the photo album and music screens, and your suggestion is one of them.

to fix the music and image tabs after installing your landscape cab
edit reg:
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila
EnableFullscreen from 0 to 1
then with BsB tweaks (menu/Rotation) remove SENSE-manila
then you can use change screen the make manila rotate the other way so left for normal music player and rotate right for the tweaked way
thats what i do

ok i just worked out that you dont have to install a cab all you have to do is
make a string reg in HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila called EnableLandscape and set it to true and you have landscape that easy

splder. ur trick didnt work for me
