Hi,
Menu=>Remove Quick Links..remove the top 3 Quick Links (which will always be the 3 that appears in your Home page).
You now have 3 empty Quick link boxes to assign new apps to.
Hope that's what you're after..

Hi it's exactly this, only I can't find "Remove Quick Links" under the start menu!

It's not under the start menu. It's under "Menu", the bottom-right softkey.

Really thank you!
I think I'll learn the ancient Aramaic only to curse myself...
...it would take me less time than what I've spent to look for this key that was under my nose!

Haha - I think that may be a slight exaggeration, but glad you got it sorted.

Hi there,
There are total 9 quick links, 3 x 3 rows,
2 x 3 hidden below, just use your finger flip the 1 row upwards . . .

ok so how is it possible to remove the calender and quick links area from the home screen...i dont need them and i want to free up space on my home screen...

OK - slightly related question. I have just (this afternoon) got an HD2 on Virgin UK and so far I'm very happy. I'm trying to change the buttons and have found the delete area etc and can change them BUT the third button on the main screen seems to be locked to Virgin Media. Does anyone know of a way to change this?

Possible to change the size of phone buttons ?

Hi,
The P3600 is a terrific device, even more since GPS is active. But, there is one minor annoyance with it : the phone app. Its keys are really too tiny to be used with a thumb.
I am wondering if there is a way to change the look of this phone app and make the keypad buttons larger. I've looked around Google and other sites for an answer to my question, but couldn't find anything. Maybe somebody here can help ?
Thanks a million in advance.

You can install a dialpad, at the upgrade and modifying section, search for smartdial + eten. It has some big and nice dialpads or just download it from here.
http://paulya.com/dialerskins.htm
Just install and restart.
Thanks a lot ! I found the topic you are reffering to, but there's no hint on where to get my hands on that famous dialpad. Maybe a little extra help, please ?
EDIT : Found it, OK -- forgot to mention
Another great way of making the pocket pc more usable with one hand! Thanks a lot for this advice, using it now and it works perfectly!!
I only wish there would be some similar type of large keypad for writing text messages as well, anyone has any clue? The one I´m using now (Phonepad) is not nearly as good and doesn´t have equally large keys, which would help.
Thanks!
For the large keyboard, there's SPB Full Screen Keyboard

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Only twist is that is always displays in landscape... But very usable though.
you can also use SPB Full Screen Keyboard in Portriat mode... the only downside is that the keys are narrower to fit the screen. i use it in Portriat mode...

Looks good, I like it.
Very nice.
Having just gotten my Mogul, may i ask what you did to achieve that look? Was it simply a matter of loading the HTC Home today screen and then tweaking it? Or were there other steps/apps involved?
All insights greatly appreciated, thanks.

Thanks for the tips, very much appreciated.
Next newbie question, anyone want to recommend a good Theme Editor/Creator tool for WM6?
how do you change the color of the top and bottom bars? I have the green, and the other default ones, but I'd like black.
Thanks!
how did you get the battery meter on the taskbar above? i'd rather have that than displaying time twice

well i love the launcher and i have figur. out a way to not only bring in my own icons pics for the home keys that you can customize your display more to you. all you have to do is take and open the icons in photo shop and size the pic you want to what is being replaced then move it over as a layer and then place it and del. the icon you do not want and edit your photo that you want. then move it back over to the file on the 6800 and click yes to replace and there it is your own icon.
you can make your own icons and replace the ones that you get with pics too. that i have found out today

[DONE]HTC Slide Answer + In Call Curtain

Hey guys, what's going on. Happy Holidays to all of you!
I'm not sure if i'm using the right terminology, but I was wondering if there was a cab (or 2) because I would like to use those!
As seen in here
I would like to use:
1) the thing on top of the buttons:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2) The slider:
Anyone has a cab close?
Thanks!

Ah hah for the slider, i had searched, but i wasn't sure if the in-call curtain was in there!
Thanks!
well guys he's right, cos the cabs posted on that thread include only the "slide 2 answer" function, not the brushed small curtain which appears during the call.
Unfortunately, won't work on CDMA devices yet.

Not true. There is now a fully working slolution but it has become lost mid-thread!
Look for the cab by fiendz and the minor fix by drachen.
"the thing on top of the buttons:" see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=464513
try posts 243, 244 (page 25) - has the "curtain" and solves most other problems
is there any way you can make work on cdma

EXCELLENT! thanks mate, things indeed do get lost mid thread especially when threads get big
Thanks to ALL for their input, hope this thread can become a reference for anyone in need of it
Hi people,
I'm sorry if this has been asked (and answered) before (or if it's too obvious), but I've been searching for this on Google and found nothing. Everybody seem to be searching ways to enable this "curtain", but I'm trying to disable it instead...
I'm using my own ROM that I've cooked with Lobsterdave's kitchen. It includes PhoneCanvas_Tachi_4_10_34656_1 package and I'm only missing video calling feature to be there...
But, one thing that annoys me is that it DOES HAVE the damn curtain over the keys in a call. That makes me 1) turn on screen 2) try to slide it down (yeah try) and 3) push the button I intend to...
So, is there a way, like a reg-tweak or something that would disable the curtain?
Thanks

[APP IDEA] Concept Menu Scroll (With Pics)

To verify this is not an application, just an idea. I was hoping somebody would care to maybe have a go at creating an application like this that opens up a menu which displays programs, settings etc.
The program would scroll using kinetic scrolling and would basicallay be used as a start menu to open shortcuts to start menu applications.
I attach 2 screenshots of possible ideas.
So what you guys think?

You can find something like this in Mobile Shell 2 (TWO), in MY MENU you can add anything you want. Assign My Menu to a soft key and you should be good.
Sure, a standalone software would be better...
Lol. Someone thought of this before you, too bad it was/isn't completed. TouchXperience. [Link]

... TouchXperience is dead or dead-alive
i really like this idea,
however, i'm sure there's a few apps very similiar too this flying around,
maybe you could create a skin for one of them?
Nice system font, (teh one on the softkeys) what is it? I wish to use it on me phone.
There is something similar...
FingerPoint would work if you could skin it more...maybe even QuickMenu if it could be made large enough to cover the whole screen. There was another old one that I can't remember.

Totally forgot about this thread until I came upon this:
http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=15092
It links to two cabs that moves the slider to the middle or bottom of the screen. I chose the middle of the screen as this position is easier for one hand unlocking.
D.I.Y starter how-to
First, great cab very useful, thanks.
Little issue, I installed the cab, then removed the program to see which one I would like better. For some reason I cant cant get the original lock screen back up. The phone locks, but no slider bar. I did a soft reset but no joy, if anybody knows how to get the original back it would be much appreciated.
thanks

heres the original, and also the original but with animated side arrows, which were commented out when it shipped. Dont forget to remove the word before .cpr
Note - using the lockscreen with animated arrows causes the music player to stop/start every 20 seconds or so when playing with the screen locked, so if you use sound at all dont bother with teh animated arrows.
Much appreciated, samsamuel.
thank you so much spoogedemon ,that's what I was looking for
