Remove Contact/Calendar Bar

Does anyone know how to remove the Contacts/Calendar bar at the botton of the Today screen? Can this be customized an how? thanks

It can be change thru registry. If you want to go the easy, tweak2k.net

If I remove the calnedar/contacts bar from the today screen, will the buttons still function as shortcuts to calendar and contacts or do I remove the functionality as well?

You can change them in the registry.
VJToggleToday II alpha will let you shrink them down to nearly nothing, and they will still function. This makes your today screen bigger, like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
V

How do I change this in the registry?

The left-hand softkey settings are at 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112',
the right-hand softkey settings are at 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113'
V

Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly am I doing to these values?

Greenemk,
Change the application launched by Today screen Soft Keys
To change the application launched by the Today screen Left soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)
To change the title of the Left soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\(Default) = "Calendar" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To change the application launched by the Today screen Right soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\Open = "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Contacts.lnk" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)
To change the title of the Right soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\(Default) = "Contacts" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Note that 113 normally doesn't exist by default, and probably needs to be created
Also note that there is at least 1 application that allows you to set these through a GUI, developed by FdcSoft called SoftKeyAppletEx
This info was in the Wiki. There are alot of other greath "hacks" check there... http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other

M$ Voice Command tweaks

Changing the speed of Microsoft voice command
\HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Speech\Voices and on the key DefaultTTSRate (default value is 4 )
Increasing the number will increase the speed of the narration, while decreasing the number will slow it.
increase the volume , navigate to
HKCU\Control Pannel\SoundCategories\VoiceCommand1 Then change the value of AttenuationCategory from 4 to 1
Sound of the voice command will be even higher than the ringing tone.
You can also change the value of InitVol to 40.
Enjoy - UK version works great well worth it.

Thank You for the tips

First response searching "4 icons in a row"
The search is there for people to use it, so do it!!
Download any registry editor, like total commander or any other.
Add Registry Entrys:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\
Add New Key "IconConfig"
In there Add DWORD Value:
"HorizontalIconSpacing" Dec value="112"
"VerticalIconSpacing" Dec value="115"
"IconTitleFontSize" Dec value="6"

Search for scorpio16v 4icons_in_row, it does the trick.

Advanced Config 3.3 has a setting for this but is does not disable in Opera.
Not sure what registry it edits. It should be under HKCU\ControlPanel\SIP\AutoDeploy = 0 but I don't have this key.

Turn Off Keyboard from Automatically Popping Up
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip>:
Create or change DWORD > TurnOffAutoDeploy from 0 to 1

I saw this suggestion in a couple of forums. I have tried it on mine but the keyboard still keeps popping up. Is there anything else that can be done?
P!

answered this Q a few minutes back.. Ah,well... C/P
I am using NULLkeyboard

This driver installs as a selectable virtual keyboard and it's useful to avoid keyboard popup when you don't want to input data (file display, gaming etc.) or when you are using an external keyboard.
Note: I have some color issues after I used this 'keyboard', therefore I'm switching back to my preferred (FingerKeyboard2) keyboard and then Reset the phone to solve this.
Hope this helps,

[Q/Help] WM 6.5.x theming (textbutton color)

Hi guys,
I'm very new to theming WM 6.5.x standard themes. I took a standard one and tried to edit them. Pretty easy
The only thing I need help is how to change color to the standard text buttons.
I found this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/ff599682.aspx
I put that REG_DWORD here (as described @ MSDN):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\<myownthemename>
COLOR_BTNTEXT = ffffff
(Changing the textcolor to white)
BUT: I don't get it to work
Does anybody know what I did wrong?

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
To make it clear: I want to change the textcolor of the button(s) which are labeled as "Löschen/Durchsuchen"

try using an app called UI Tweaker, it could change some system values without big problems (it is possible to export and import the schemes to verify every step in the modifing procedure)
