Hi!
I usually have to wear glasses in order to read messages and the contact name I have to call. I tried to set the zoom as larger as possible, but still I have to use glasses.
Is there any shell, program or whatelse that can help me use the small Diamond screen without glasses, making it more user-friendly?
TNX in advance
I dont think so! By zoom do you mean:
Start > Settings > System Tab > Screen > Text Size > Largest ???? If not try that

You could attempt to simply turn off tf3d and use windows 6.5, i think its easier to navigate 6.5 if you cant read the stuff on tf3d

farsighted?
Edit: i deleted it .....wrong answer....i thought him wanted a way to make the written largest
You can try this, i know it works on smartphones:
there are some config file for the font size of SMS and email ...
\windows\read_style.css
\windows\iframe_style.css
\windows\thread_style.css
open it with Pocket Word and edit the "font size" field...
That's the best i can do for you; as for the rest of the Windows mobile, sorry...
Attach a magnifying glass to it, duck tape can be used to hold it
get lasik..

If you have problems seeing text when on max size I suggest you buy a phone from Doro.

TNX for all your suggestions.
I'll try to create a personal bigger font theme
Why dont you try Adisasta WinMobile Lens Pro or WinMobile Magnifier. Not sure if it will work on a diamond but you can give it a go. I used it on my old k-jam.

I'm certain i've seen this query before but I cannot seem to find it!
I have a in-car navigation system and because of the phone not being wholly supported, i need to bluetooth the contacts over onto the system.
the issue is i cannot find the "select all" option in contacts, nor can i select all the contacts manually.
I have around 300 contacts on the phone and there is no way i can sit there clicking, beaming, selecting bluetooth reciever and sending because that in itself can take up to a minute per contact
Thanks
One cab to try is FDC PPCContacts. it provides some advanced functionality.
Try Ctrl+A with the Softkeayboard. I don't know a solution with the hardware keyboard. I'm really missing the Ctrl key on it.
ctrl+a doesnt work... first thing i tried

Here is what you need for select all:

but you can't beam them, it doesn't work.
I will add this functionality in next version...

Thanks for that... I dont suppose you could write up a beta thing for me to use ? I know its a bit cheeky but its a bit pointless me having a $3000 incar system with built in bluetooth phone, and a $600 phone but yet be restricted because of this one small issie with WM5.
I beamed over 3 today and it took almost 5 minutes for them.
The pattern is:-
Set system to recieve
select>beam>wait to pick up system>and select
once beamed, the system says do you want to beam more.... you have to say yes
then you do the process again.
If I know a rough time-scale then I know whether to borrow a nokia and sync the contacts to that (via outlook) and then beam at once.
Thanks for your help again

Can't you just drag the stylus from the very bottom of the list in the tiny bit of white space under the bottom name upwards?
It works fine for me to select all..

Hi sambartle,
If you have several hundreds of contacts, it could take time, it is mush simpler to click on the menu item. BTW, you have probably PPCContactsMgr on your device...

is there a patch for the cingular 8525 to make it look like vista? i've seen the skinning stuff, looks to involved ( to many programs ). thanks LuXx
I am running wisbar advanced, and I have a great vista theme that I would be happy to upload, or I can try and find where I originally found it. doesn't take up too many resources, and it has a _ton_ of customization

I have one that I'm using that doesn't require installing another app that hogs up memory. This is a simple Vista "aero" type theme and a nice dialer to match. I'm using them now and I like 'em. I think I might have even gotten them from the forum, or maybe not. Anyhow, enjoy!
do you have screen shots? What is the tsk file and how do we use it?
Thanks!

Sorry, no screen shots handy right now, but all you have to do with the .tsk file is copy it to your \Windows directory. Then, go ahead and change your theme like you normally would. (Start --> Settings --> Today)

I see from your Avatar that your sporting the new Hermes headset. It's nice 'cos it doesn't require the Bluetooth connection - you just tuck the Hermes inside next to your ear and away you go; and with Wifi on it keeps your ear warm as well. I've heard a rumour that there's a dual core Hermes with twin hand-sets that keeps both ears warm. Bit itchy though??

Oh yes. You hit the nail on the head there. It's almost a full body headset, as you can see. Quite cozy in the winter... and very stylish to boot.

Not sure what the problem is, Zgembo was able to get it extracted and working. Are you just extracting the whole folder onto your desktop (or somewhere) and then moving it over to the phone?
Exactly, simple as cake... Just copy two file to any folder of your phone, and run it... Dialer (bigger .cab file) is just an option, instals as standard application... Skin (.tsk file) is very compact, and just double click it to add it to phone's themes... You can delete these files after installation...

on this one you also loose smart dial... but its a kick a$$ looking dialer skin
Maybe someone with some skills (definitely not me) can put the smart dial and video option into this dialer skin. I think this was originally created for the 8125. Shogunmark... I know you're a pro. Whatcha think?

i can build wizard roms and cabs, etc.. but when it comes to *.tsk and dialer skins, i will admit defeat.. i have tried at those and failed so many times.. its not that i couldnt create them, its that they looked horrible.. i am seriously lacking in artistic skills.. i might look into anyway since i am dying to start cooking roms but the bootloaders on these phones right now is a major roadblock.. we will see what time has in store for me
Excellent phone skin! I love it!
i found the site where the nice dialer was from:
http://www.paulya.com/dialerskins.htm
he appears to have E-TEN dialers with Smartdial (scroll down to the bottom round classic) It states the "Blackglass" has smartdial. Anyone try that out on a TyTN?
Anyone know how to fix the AeroMobile.tsk theme to support the Portrait mode? When I slide out my keyboard, the skin should strech but doesn't. I tried to fix it with MS Theme Generator, but no luck... Any suggestions? I'm using Pocket PC 2002 Theme Generator V2, as that seems to be the last release from MS.

Hi, can't find it in search but is there any way to hack the font size in windows mobile 6? I use reading glasses and don't want to use them to use the phone! Or is there any application that would do that? Any help appreciated.
/menu start/settings/system/screen last tab? (and softreset).

There are a few settings I have played with in the past for the same reasons.
HKLM\System\GWE\MENU
1) popfnt
2) barfnt
adjust the Ht value in decimals
But you will have to adjust them to your liking, try 950 to start.
I know that there are others I just can't think of them at this time.
Thanks for response, will try them out.

I'm trying to find a today plugin that will allow me to have a panel on my UL that just has photo dial pictures.
So it really just needs to be a nice today plugin that is a photo dialer..Anyone?
what you can do is create your own link and make your own photo icon
I created the photo icons myself so that the frame matches my theme...
I also use this program called "go2contact" that allows you to open up the contact screen via command line...
thanks got go2contact to work and it brings me to the contact page so i can pick what number to dial or sms whatever...thanks
hey,
i also was looking for a photo dialer plugin and i found a plugin that was from the Treo 700w that works great on my Kaiser. It allows you to have a row of photo contacts and then also add more contacts without photos underneath if you prefer. for more information and to download the plugin go to

why dont you al make a fotodialer tab just with ul ? you just need the makecall.exe from daniel who created UL:
www.ultimatelaunch.de. you find it on the left side. its a a part of "smartutilities". put it on your phone make under command a link to that. under "params" you just write the phonenumber. thats it, and so easy.

This is a bit of a digress... any such utility to create short cut for SMS? Now I'm using Mort Button. But I like how UL works. Would prefer not to 'launch' another application.

thanks for the dialtab program! works great for ul!
Well I decided to create my own icons.. so i used photos (photoshop elements) in .jpg format and saved them in irfanview as .ico format, but UL won't open them. Can someone tell me which icon/graphics program I can use that will convert other formats to *.ico format?

If you use iLauncher from SBSH you can creat multiple tabs with photo dial
Hey!
I have now installed cLauncher and find it extremely useful, however, one small problem.
When i go to the options section some of the options are not visible, there seems to be an overlay from something else blcking the tabs across the top which means i cant access them.
Anyone seen this before? Under settings it seems that the 'about' information is showing across the screen blocking the tabs, very strange.
If anyone has the cab for a program that will enable to show you screenshots then i can do that.
Im using tdlaunch at the mo but cLauncher looks alot better.
Any help would be apprecitated. I have searched and there is plenty of guides and help sections for cLauncher but none of them explain about this issue.

Idea - If you use the vga fix avaliable from the sticky threads, it should show claunch as per normal, its just a screen resolution issue. I also used to use claunch on my old XDA, very good free alternative to Pocket Plus 4.

Sounded like a logical fix to my problem, however, ran WVGA Fix3, then installed Claunch, again got the same problem though!! Any other ideas? Grrrr

Yeh mate, using tlaunch now, its ok and does what i need although i cant seem to change the icon size, it doesnt matter what value i put in it still keeps the icon the same size.
I guess ill soldier on with the smal icons then...
I guess im right in saying that i cant change the Icon size in TdLaunch?
