Trying to set up as much of my main menus to be as finger friendly as possible but find the much used (instead of Alt + Tab) Quick Menu icon (in the top right hand corner) small and difficult to operate - the drop menu itself is fine.
Does anyone know of a tweak or app to size it up a little. Annoyingly probably the most laggy drop menu as well - but that is a different storey.
Thanks in advance.
Yep, I'd be interested in that too.
Moreover since I use my leather protection case.
That's no problem:
Go to the QuickMenu settings -> second tab -> there is something called "...spacing..." or "...item distance..." (I have Russian version, other name ) -> increase the value to "10"!
You can also replace the original menu, so you don't have to hit the Window icon in the top left corner, can also be found in the settings.
Cheers!

It's called "Menu item edge", and for me the best value is 8.
Good: it seems there is a solution - but unable to find the Quick Menu settings.....Have been looking through the normal menus but are they perphaps in the registry (apologies for the ignorance but new to WinMo).
you can find the settings in the QuickMenu itself xD
I'd really like to see two things from QuickMenu for finger friendliness:
1. option for scrolling instead of cascading menus (with a decent implementation of scrolling of course)
1a option to have menus cover the width of the screen
2. option to have the "Running Tasks" submenu come up when the upper right corner of the taskbar is tapped (decent task manager functionality is already built in)
2a option to specify what task manager utility is launched from the "Running Tasks" submenu

Hey guys,
I "installed" quickmenu, works great except when I want to go to Settings it states "empty". So I have to "uninstall" to get through the original startmenu to settings.
Does anyone know how I can get to settings with Quickmenu??
That's probably because your windows isn't English. I have the same problem in Polish version.
You can either tap and hold the windows logo (if you haven't disabled this option - i did), so that the classic menu shows up, or go to quickmenu options, then to commands tab. look for an entry named settings, select it and press "Create shortcut". Then place the newly created shortcut in your /windows/menu start/settings (or equivalent path in your language). Now, when you open the steeings section in quichmenu, you'll have only that shortcut in there. When you press it, another menu, this one containing actual settings will pop up.
I like the second way much more, since settings appear in a cascadable menu, not in the standard fullscreen window manner.
or go to /windows/starmenu and create there a folder called "Settings"
you will have then one empty settings folder in you native language and another working one in english
Thanks, works great..
I now have my HD.
But whenever I click on one of the bottom menus (you know, the one that says 'menu' or something in the bottom left) I get a massive menu.
Two questions: Would SPB Shell sort this out? Or is there another way to tell I I don't want mahoosive menus? (The 'start' menu has been shrunk already!)

You can adjust this to something smaller. HTC has deliberately made it big to be finger friendly, but that results in scrolling for some program with longer list of items on the menu. I think under the tips and tricks thread you can see how to do it.
Cheers.
It also says in the user manual that this is the case and it shows you how to change it.

Are you talking about the start menu or the bottom menu? The start menu text size can be changed as described in page 41. In which page can you find how user could change the bottom menu text size?
The registry key has been mentioned in the Tips and Trick section. Alternatively, you can also change it using SKTools.
Hi there,
I have a big problem with my Softkeys on the X1. By default left and right softkeys are assigned to calendar and contacts... but this does not match with my interests
By changing "left softkey" to "Start Menu" in "buttons" (or "keys", don't know exactly, because I use a german firmware), it opens the start menu... so far so good, but: It always opens the start menu. No matter what a menu says. "Close" e.g. does not close the screen, it opens the start menu
Now I'm useing a tool (called "remap softkeys") and changed the right softkey to comm manager, which works pretty well. Unfortunately I don't know, which command opens the start menu.
My target configuration opens the Comm Manager with the right softkey and the start menu with the left softkey in the homescreen. All options in all other screens which are dedicated to the left and right softkey should be kept.
I hope you can help me

Ok here's the file you need. Unzip and Map the softkey with the prog you have to Startmenu.exe. I am using this as well. The EXE is NOT made by me, unfortunately I can't find the site where I downloaded it anymore... Anyway it's freeware. Enjoy.
Thanks
Works perfectly! This is exactly what i've been looking for.
Thank you very much
You could have a look at X1BC or my X1ButtonMapper. These programs give you a lot more options regarding button remapping and they are small and for free.
Hi (I'm new here!)
I'm trying to set up my Touch 2 so that it looks and feels exactly how I want it, and I'm nearly there. The only issue I have is the bottom bar. On the home screen it current has "Phone" and "Contacts" as its default, and I'd love to either change it or (preferably) remove the bottom bar completely. I trawled through the user guide from htc.com and I've tried using the Search here to no avail so I just thought I'd ask. Any clues?
Thanks in anticipation....
(by the way, how do I take a screenshot of my phone to post on here?)
Hello,
I think you mean the softkeys...well, as far as i know there is no option to remove them but you can change them with this tool:

To make a screen shot you can use this program...but there are many more.......when you search
Is there a way to sort the Start menu.
Not only with "to top" and "to down" ?

Hi Msmsms1,
You'll need a registry editor like Total Commander
and browse to:
HKLM -> Security -> Shell -> StartInfo -> Start
Then open the icon you wish to move.
In there, there will be a 'Rank' entry, you can edit this by tapping it.
- The easiest way to change these is to swap positions with another icon in the Start Menu, such as:
Moving the 'Settings' icon to where the 'Today' icon is. To do this, you simply note down the 'Rank' entry's number of each, and type it into the 'Rank' entry of the other.
For instance, the 'Rank' entry on my Today icon is: 900000718, and the Settings icon is 900000938. Just swap these numbers over and reboot.
jwmd icon changer can sort your apps...
btw, try kenia startmenu for a better view...super improvement
