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.
Yo!
Like the topic says, is it possible too change the background color in the application folder? It's standard, and boring white now, and i want it black with white text. Is this possible?
Maybe with a small application or something?
So.. Do you understand the words that comes out of my mouth?
The first one to solve my problem will win a imaginary Porsche 911 Oh lala

Thanx, but i don't understand it hehe..
I'm quite a n00b in Windows Mobile..
PS. i don't have a Windows computer either.. I'm using Mac, so f.ex, i can't use "Theme Creator" thingy.. So it must be done on the device, and not on a desktop computer.

That link has nothing to do with the background on the Programs screen.

id like to know how that works, if somebody tells i will format all the needable program icons with white border and inline shadow so it looks better this would be cool
I believe SKTOOLS (a ppc program that can manage quite a bit of settings) allows you to tweak your theme on the fly.... I do believe when you change the background color of that folder, it will change it for all folders... Completely unsure if this will work though due to the fact that I have never tried
try ui tweaker
With ui tweaker you can do this (sys colour change).
BUT I was not able to do a complete black n´white as the popup windows (notification of new sms, reminders....) still had a black font on a black backround and then i was unable to read :-(
The software is enclosed as well as my try of pure black - in case you hve a touchflo installed...The colour of the buttons have to be different from black then or touchflow will not work.
In case you manage to get a fully black theme working please send me the regfile from ui tweaker as I would be also interested.
Enclosed a screenshot wit my current solution - grey coloured
But you can also import the settings into uitweaker (allesok....sys) and try...

Hehe.. Yeah, i know
Isn't there a programmer out there who can make a app. witch is easy to use.. and stuff..?
Or(!) A creative soul out there who can make a nice colorscheme for UITweaker?
One more thing.. Is it possible to make a .tsk-file with a "total" black interface? Like henftling's colorscheme..?
It's quite dead here now..
*bump bump*
one of the problems with UITweaker is that it can be a bit vague which part of the system you are changing the colour of, and then you have to soft reset to check if it looks ok, if not then back into it, change back, soft reset again, back into UIT and try something else.
i want a kinda slate grey / black theme as well, but the ones already made out there are a bit messy and you end up with wrong colours here and there, not being able to read things or see notifications.
also i get the feeling that not every aspect of the UI is actually changable, at least in UIT anyways...
it would be great though, we have all these nice finger applications in black / grey and then they all cut back to the dull old Windows white when you want to do something proper.
when will Microsoft hire some graphic designers for a change instead of letting the boffins do it all?

I'm totally agree with you. UITweaker is anoying with the soft-reset crap all the time.. And yes, Microsoft should hire some new graphic-designers.
So.. i know that it exist many programers in this forum, and i don't think it will be that difficult to wright a app. that can change the background color and stuff..
So.. we just have too wait until a programer is reading this thread i guess.. hehe
"also i get the feeling that not every aspect of the UI is actually changable, at least in UIT anyways..."
I used to play with an application like this way back when I had my hp 2210, and the problem then was that not all of the colors of the UI were independently tweakable.
It is probably so with this as well as you can see from henftling's screenshot. The bars for his signal strength have changed to gray as well as his backgrounds. So the same registry entry is controlling two separate parts of the UI, which means no matter how much you play with it you will probably get some unreadable text.
I wish I could find the old software that I used to use, as it was pretty user-friendly and I think it showed you a preview of what you were going to get so you didn't have to reset each time. Sorry, I have searched and searched.
One thing I did find was this: http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/rcmod.shtml . It looks like it gives you some idea of what you are changing before you change it. Perhaps it will help you guys.

It works for EVERYTHING
I don't know the menu option in english, since mine is spanish translated, but should say something like "system improvements", and then go to "colors" tab. That's it.
Hope it helps
Hello Everyone,
I have used the X1 for around 2 weeks, it's been running fine.
However, few days ago after I have fully charged my X1 using USB cable, I find a very strange thing!
The bottom part of the screen which usually display the "Calendar" and "Contact" is "whitened"!
Although I can still click on them, but I can't see the words.
I tried to change to other panels but the bottom "bar" is still the same, white in color.
Besides, I tried to soft reset my X1 and the problem still there.
Does anyone encounter similar things before? Or I am the only unlucky person???
Merry Christmas and thank you very much!
did you try to do something with the bar??
i use nueNoBar and removed the bar the hardware buttons still work. or you can hard reset your x1.
if you dont want to hard reset try the software.
you can download the software here:
http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nueNoBar.aspx
try to change theme and see if does someting.
I had that when I automatically started emoze with a soft-reset. After doing that manually the problem disappeared. You could see what programs you do run at startup.

Thank you very much!

Hi ppl. I have 2 problems. Before anyone says anything, I did search! Haha ok.
1) I can not figure out how to use my own sounds for anything other that the ringtone. I would prefer not installing anything thats going to slow my phone down.
2) I would like to be able to choose the same backround that I use for the today screen on the other screens.
Any help is appreaciated!

In that case, try searching again for 'background' instead of 'backround'
hi guys. this is one thiing am not able to find a solution for a long time. many must have been aware of the HTC Album showing duplicate images when seen in Camera Shots listing. its easy to change the favourite folder for that.
But in my sense 1922, when i press menu in home tab, go to home wallpaper/weather wallpaper, it always open the album in Camera Shots view thus showing 2 similar thumbs for each image. how do i change the location of this to something else.
i could find the reg to change the folder location for animated wallpapers but i could not find it for the weather wallpapers.
if any1 has a solution to this then do help me a favour.
thanx

I'm guessing that you do know you can navigate to other folders by clicking on "Albums", when viewing thumbnails. Again, I'm guessing here, but you actually want to change the default folder?
If I'm right, then I don't know if there's a way to change the default folder. If I'm wrong, I may have answered your question

I've not seen an answer to that question on here, and it has been asked before. I guess not enough people are bothered and therefore not much investigation has been done.
You could be the guy that figures it out
