Military Time, STUCK

My phone is stuck in Military time...and yes ive gone to regional settings and such...its in the "correct" format but it's still messed up....can anyone provide some way to fix this...maybe a reg. edit? Thanks

I'd check the list of formats closely. I was almost positive I had the correct format selected to display x:xx AM/PM but when I looked again, I noticed an option further up that was the correct one. That solved it for me.

Set regional settings to:
"h:mm:ss tt"
You have to scroll up to see it!

The dropdown has scroll arrows. You have to use those to see all the options.

Huge menus...

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.

Finger friendly Quick Menu icon

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

Editing/Removing Bottom Bar

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:

advanced config > menu > key mapping
Laberkopf

To make a screen shot you can use this program...but there are many more.......when you search

Font for soft buttons Menu Items

Dears,
I have poor reading sight and was very happy with how BIG is font in the HD2 which is one of the main reason I bought the HD2.
Now, After nstalling some softwares, I found that font for soft buttons Menu Items that used to have big font are now having tiny font. I looked in many setting location couldn't find the setting. Other items like contact font and other are still large fonts. Setting > System > Screen > Text Size seem not to have any affect on Menu Items.
Please help.
Thanks.
