Accessing Speedials from softkey - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

Ideally im after an app that will upon pressing a softkey, display a small pop up menu with speedials on it. SBSH ILauncher does this perfectly but its a HUGE app for just that one feature.
If this isnt possible, can the softkey be directed straight to the dialer speedials??
BTW this is the today screen softkeys not manila.
Many thanks

Cingular 8125 Customization HELP

Hey guys... before I begin, heres what I have installed.
tcmp with various reg edits
Wisbar Advance2
Wisbar Advance Desktop
Null Keyboard
Here are my questions.
1. the volume slider no longer adjusts the system volume at the today screen. how can I fix this?
2. I was looking to have a big icon/object for the "Lock" function. How can I do that using Wisbar?
3. TCMP has enabled a secondary function for the 2 buttons below the screen--the left one for the "start" menu, and the right one for "close". After installing Wisbar, the right button still closes, but then after closing, it brings up the contact list, which is the primary function of that button (with a short press). How can I undo that?
4. The notification screen that pops up when I get a text msg, etc, is gone!(ever since Wisbar) I just see the icon on the top, but I want that screen back! how can I do that?
5. What is a good program to manually assign all buttons on the system to whatever function I want? (i.e. lock, changing the 2 buttons function, etc.)
Any help would be great!.

Shortcut or plugin for widescreen?

Does anyone know of a today plug-in or some way of making a shortcut to easily access the widescreen feature on the Prophet, as this would be a major convience when surfing webpages?
Do you mean landscape mode (when the screen is horizontal)?
I map screen rotation to the OK hardware button (lower right corner) from settings->buttons.
This way I don't have to leave IE to change orientation and no need for extra software. There is an action button in the middle so who needs extra 'OK' any way?
Hi
I posted a CAB File from the Orange Extended ROM that places an icon on the Today Screen for screen rotation. Just tap it and it rotates the screen from portrait to landscape.
It was supplied by Orange but it has worked for others, try it and see.

Question about context menu

Is there any application apart from SPB pocket plus that allows to map a button to a close/context menu feature in the same way that spb pocket plus has?.... that is basically the only feature on pocket plus that I use that i would like to get rid of it by installing something slighter for the ppc. Context menu is really helpful.
If you do a search on this forum for close button you will find a number of suggestions.
ae button and smartskey seem favourites, but I don't use them so I can't recommend.
Depending on what you mean... holding the button in the middle of the joystick (D-pad as some people call it) brings up the context menu.
As for closing a program, aside from X-Button program (which closes) and the OK button (minimize), I would ask you to be more specific about your request.

Question for HTC homescreen users

Has anybody found a way to remove the top and bottom bars from the screen or theme them away? I map my mail button to open the start menu and the internet button to close apps. my left softkey brings up Newmenu and the right one brings up contacts. I have no use for either onscreen bar. Killing them off would provide 10-15% more homescreen space.
Thanks for reading and any help/guidance you may be able to provide.
Vijay has written an app, but I don't think its still on his site. Its called VJToggle or something. You can remove the bottom bar, or both bars. I found it on MoDaCo via Google.
Thanks. I'll give it a try.

There is also Wisbar Advance Desktop. It is shareware and you have to pay for registration code but it allows 100% complete customization of your home screen including full screen without top and bottom bars.

S2U2 and sms notification query

Hello all,
I have a couple questions regarding my Touch dual (HTC with dutch original rom)
I like S2U2 very much and it's a little annoying that a received sms shows in a window on screen even though S2U2 is active. I 'd rather look on my phonealarm link to look at my sms. I know you can disable this in the settings menu, but every time i soft reset, it keeps reverting to the old setting (ie "show message in window"). Any way to avoid this?
Also, does anywone know how to go straight to the message by clicking on the phonealarm link (instead of going through the menu containing all the received messages first)?
Secondly: I would really like to power on the screen using the action (center DPad) button. I thought i had found the solution by not locking the buttons in the S2U2 menu, but apparently, the DPad is the only button that doesn't power on the screen when locked with S2U2.
I tried installing AEButton plus, and assigned an action to the button, but apparently, S2U2 (just like S2V and S2P, all great programs by the way) overrules AEButtonplus.
So any way to turn on the screen with the center DPad button when the phone is locked with S2U2?
I've been searching, but haven't found any answers to these questions.
Thanks for replying!
anyone know the answer?
