adjust the top Menu bar?? - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Dear Developer,
Can Some one help in this:
I own Kaiser and my only problem is Top menu bar cause in pressing the X button or the Task M button on today screen with your fingers ( if its big like mine ) its actually quite difficult coz most of the time you need to use the stylus and i heat use it some time..
so my request is,If some one can do some adjustment in the upper menu in moving the bar little bit to left, i mean add more space..coz the screen in Kaiser its quite down,not like Diamond or some other phone its really Hand touch phones...!
anyway this is my idea, i hope some one can manage to do so..
Screen shot : ( i moved it little bit with Photoshop )

Try checking out this thread. It details how to make the X button wider in a sense, by making the battery icon act as a second X button. You could also map it to a hardware key. Doesn't help with the task manager, but it's better than nothing.

Bigger Keys for Dialer

Hello does anyone know how to make the keys on the dialer bigge or get a diffrent dialer with bigger keys ?
search the forum for some skins
Hi can I see a screen shot please ?

The skin is great, but smart dialing doesn't work..
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Henry
Yeah thanks for the skin the keys are huge which is great, but smartdiling doesnt work which is a trade off....... I guess you cant have everything
The reason SmartDialer doesn't work is because this is not just a skin. It is a replacement dialer program. You can't just use larger images for buttons and get bigger buttons, you need a program which looks at larger portions of the touch screen as buttons.
SmartDialer also replaces the dialing program (a dll in your windows directory). SInce you can't have two dialing programs working at once you have to choose between the bigger buttons or SmartDialer.
Personally I use MS Voice Command so much that I never had a need for SmartDialer (or larger buttons for that matter) but I do much prefer the look of this dialer.
I would like something like this.
I wish I knew how to whip up CE apps...
That is an awesome idea, W00T. :shock:
I can't do it, plus I think there needs to be a backspace and um a little more room @ the top for call info but great idea.

Bringing the taskbar to the bottom of the screen

Hello Everyone, I hope you all are fine.
I saw a photo of an imate jam (the one I have) who's taskbar was on the bottom of the screen. Here is the photo:

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

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
May be its just me, but I cannot find any way of bringing it down. I want my phone to look more like real windows and the taskbar on the top doesn't look very good. Also, as you can see in the picture, the address bar of the PIE is also on the top, just like the real IE. Somehow everything in the above phone is setup to look more like real windows. It would be so great if I somebody could suggest a way to do this.
Is this possible? Of course its possible when someone has already done that. But the question is 'how.'
I expected a better response here on XDA-Developers. I posted the same question in another forum but people there didn't seem to be too intelligent. But I'm surprised that even among people who are programmers, I can't see something that could be encouraging.
If you're a programmer reading my post, you could perhaps take a hint about this from Pocket Notepad. When I run this program on WM5 (on HTC Wizard) it does the same effect: Brings the taskbar to the bottom, exactly as I am wanting. It looks very beautiful. But as soon as I close or minimize pocket notepad, everything goes back to its normal position.
actually i wanted to see how to do that too, because to me the bar on the bottom just seems more "normal"...

keyboard retroilluminated

ehi guys! some suggestion to make the shift keyboard retroilluminated or illuminated? in some case is difficult to write on because is very dark this keyboard.
nope, no way to do that. The devices that use lighted keyboards have special keys with a transparent or translucid film that allow the LED's underneath to light up. This film is shaped like the letter you wish to light up thus resulting you seeing only the lighted up letter in the dark. The shift has opaque keys, they woun't allow light to pass over them. Any other option isn't aestetical to do with the shift. try to get yourself an fancy usb flash light or lamp to use with the shift.
i saw on web some kind of fluorescents "couvertures" in rubber material to put on keys, llike those for gaming, but i think that with sliding display is not comfortable.
My very good friend managed to install this into his shift , please see :-
www.myglowkeys.com , cost Usd19.99 for 2 pieces , but make sure u cut properly and patiently before sticking it to yr keyboard ( be warned ! ) or better take it to yr local laptop body laminator to do it for u - they have much more experience to cut and paste for u , just make sure u dont cover the blue icons and certain numbers or whatever of yr keyboard's 66 keys ! enjoy yr shift in the dark ! he he he - jimmunsw .... and so sorry we just found out this product recently .....
See mine & u might do it better

new ListItem

Hey,
Ive written a Listcontrol with Scroll support. It supports scrolling, activating
and dragging ( wait short when touch the Display, then you can drag ).
This Zip contains two files, grid view and list view.
It would be nice if you can test it, and give me a feedback. For testing it is also a little ApplicationLauncher, which should work for english ROMs.
It requires .net compact 2.0
greets doena
The control itself seems to work fine on my T-Mobile Wing, although the font in the grid is way too small and the grid's scrolling seems smoother than the list's. The list is kind of slow.
Also when clicking on the task (outlook) application in the start menu (both list and grid), it crashes:
at System.Diagnostics.Process.StartWithShellExecuteEx(ProcessStartInfor startInfo). It's part of my recent programs list, so I don't know if that could be the reason?
Do you plan to release the control?
Working ok on my prophet grid icons and text to small list just plain white grid runs better and managed to start screen shot

Hey,
thanks for your answers, its nice to show you're interested.
I have just changed the ListView, so it scroll like the Grid one, and shows Icons.
With the icons and App Launch Exception I have to look, what could be done, but I will find a reason ;-)
Sorry for second Post,
I have now changed the Font size in Grid view,
you ll find it in Atachment
greets doena
PS: please dont use the minimize button, it doesnt work well

Notification Panel Button(What is the button like a slider?)

Hello guys,
After some updates, I noticed a button like a slider on notification panel but it is not active.
I could not slide right side or something like that. It seems fixed button.
What was that?
do a long press on it and it should bring up app info for the app that created it. then just click on the i symbol

It could not push long press or something. It is fixed.
I know this option but it is not that. I posted an image now. :good:

that's not a notification. it looks like a tab to bring up a side bar or news service, could be a horizontal homescreen indicator (haven't used tw in years sorry), does it move or stay still ?
to sum up, I don't know sorry
