A simple Search Would have lead you here. Please read the rules on posting new threads.

what did you search for to get that result?
thanks for the reply.
i think that will work but it is not ideal, i would really just like to actually have the 6.1 start menu in 6.5 if that is even possible.

Just did a search for Startmenu and it was the 3rd one in Dev & hack. It is about as close as your gonna get to the 6.1 style for 6.5

You could try QuickMenu.
Take a look at this thread for more info:

Lol, nice one. But jokes aren't allowed in Development and Hacking.

Maybe a dumb ? Moving Start to bottom?

Is it possible? Do I need to cook a ROM? I am running TouchIt...
I did attempt searching, but seems either no one has done this, or it's something so simple (and which I am oblivious to)... that no one has bothered to ask.
Thanks guys! I love the upgrade from my old Dash.

Cool.. installing trial now... will letcha know. Thx
Appears that doesn't have that ability.
Surprised that this hasn't been brought up before. I mean, perhaps many are "ok" with it. I am "ok" with it I suppose, but think it would be much nicer to have it at the bottom.
i actually like the start button on the top. it is a lot easier to manuver everything plus i have everthing set up with the bottom two softkeys

Has anyone!!!!???

has anyone figured out how to replace the start menu sign with a vista orb?
wisbar advance. www.lakeridgesoftware.com
click on forums, then wisbar advance 3 skins, and eat your heart out at the number of vista skins
like previous poster said...wisbar advance..thats what i use and its beautiful =)
If you're into ROM Cooking, within the shellres.96.dll, there is the file for the start menu icon...

Task Manager Idea!

i'm not a developer but i couldn't think of a better place to put this thread...
ok, so i was thinkin about the xperia x1 interface... picture attached
FOR ALL YOU DEVELOPERS OUT THERE:
Is it possible to make the task manager for the touch or similar phone look like this? Like creating a program which utilizes a SCREENCAPTURE app?
I mean, it doesn't need to be FULL screen, but when you hit the task manager in the top right corner, a large drop down menu with lil pics of your open apps to appear.... is this POSSIBLE?
If so, i know it'll use a bit of ram, but i have room to spare like 5-10mb on my touch for something like this...
What do you guys think?
thanks in advance
Something like this?

Check Dynamo2! It does exactly what you ask for! Works on most htcs!
Apparently it is still in development (check author's forum).

it says to use an older .net framework... so does that mean it'll replace my latest version and leave me shafted on some of my current apps?
No, it does not... read the whole topic before posting!

wm 6.1 pro

hey guys im still kind of new to this stuff. but right now i have windows 6.1 on my wing and its nice. but i seen a video on youtube with a wing that had 6.1 pro and it was AWESOME so i would like to know is there anywhere i can go and get that? oh yea and by chance can i ever downgrade back to the reg windows that came with the phone? and if i can do i just go to tmobile.com/wmupgrade ans starr from there?
What you have is already a PRO version as it is meant for all touch screen pocket pc device. Maybe you saw a different GUI effects which may be like TouchFLO 2D or so. If you can give a link to the YouTube video, we shall give you the suggestions.

A little impatient, my friend...
Most of us hold full time jobs, go to school and have families. We won't always be on 24x7. You have to allow us time away from our busy lives to read your posts.

That is not a "version" of or an iphone theme. It's just a ROM that has a lot of things put together to look like that. Looks like they have the old HTCHome with a skin on it, a Windows Mobile skin and S2U2 with a skin. It looks like an older ROM, actually, but I like the red theming. I don't know what ROM it is exactly, though. Oh, and that menu system is a somewhat buggy software... I forgot what it's called. It's hacked from an italian phone, I believe...
OMG . I do also Ivan ,thanks for that non useful paragraph. but can ANYBODY ELSE HELP ME????? im trying to see if i can get wm 6.1 pro or is that not released or something? as far for the themes when i download then and save them they never show up under my themes. could it be that im doing it wrong? i have aserg 6.1? do this ROM not let me use other themes?

1. You're rude.
2. It is not WM6.1Pro. Did you at all read what I wrote? 6.1 was never officially released for this phone, we (yes, I and others) ported it to this phone.
3. If you're not seeing them, you ARE doing it wrong.
Seriously, dude. I take my time to try to help some and you try to bite at the hand that feeds you. I could have done what everyone else does and said, " Search, noob!" Because truthfully, the answers ARE there if you bothered searching for the right things.
I even TOLD you what programs are being used, btw. That's about as much help as you could ask for.
It's not a THEME only, it's a SERIES of program. Let's quote me:
It's just a ROM that has a lot of things put together to look like that. Looks like they have the old HTCHome with a skin on it, a Windows Mobile skin and S2U2 with a skin.

Now, if you searched for HTCHome you'd get the program called: HTCHome. If you searched S2U2, you'd get the program called: S2U2.

I recommend using JWMD's Icon Changer, but many recommend Showaco's reSTART. The 'how to' instructions for each app can be found in that thread I just linked.
Hums.. None of those work like the custom rom i had on my fuze.. I was able to click and hold on an icon, and then it would 'glow' and i could move them around.. Im not sure what program, if any, was used for that either..

Drag and drop feature only works with WM 6.5.X versions. WM 6.5 doesn't support the drag and drop.
Oh wow.. thats... *looks at his phone* kinda lame... guess I'll have to mod it... are there any roms that are just like the "stock" but just upgraded to 6.5.x? I have a tilt 2

Man I love this forum. Almost anything that comes to mind that I would like to make my phone do, a quick search and I find suggestions and answers.
Thanks, eknutson.
