The finger-friendly scrollbar is lost - HD2 General

the scroll bar of my hd2 is now showing the wm default one, i.e. the thin and fixed one rather than the new one which enlarge to be a button for easy scrolling by finger. i have installed many application and patches from this forum, but don't which one has triggered this issue. Do anybody encounter this?

Did you soft-reset ?

Different backgrounds have different types of scroll bar. The default black background has the finger-friendly version.

Font Color on The Wing, HTC Home Plugin

Hi, I recently got the wing and I've been doing a lot of changes to my wing, one thing I can't seem to find anywhere is if there is a way to change the font color on the wing(such as start on top and calendar and contacts on bottom) and/or change the font color for the HTC Home Plugin media player(It's light blue), the HTC Home plugin I got is from the Touch_It full version.
I also seem to have a problem with the cube from the touchflo that came from Touch_It full version too, it opens up when you press the touchflo button then motion from bottom middle of screen to top, but I can't close it sliding from top to bottom instead it closes when I slide my thumb from bottom to top again and after wards it can't open up no more, the animation when I try to bring back the cube is it closing from then on
Running a search on this site provided this :
Change HTC home clock colors!!
Try sliding your finger from left to right instead and see if the cube comes up that way.
my clock color is white which matches the white font on my wing but the HTC Home plugin music player font is in light blue when active which messes up the whole matching thing lol if i cna't change that I would chnage clock color + wing font color
the cube after first time i bring it down can rotate left and but can never be brought up again lol is there a way to fix it?
Check this out !!!
I think this is what you're looking for.

Yeah with RC mod you can change it to whatever color you like. You don't have to keep it white. You go to Font color and change Today Font color.
Okay. Well I tried.

Does anyone have a resolution for this? I really want to change the font and color of the song title, artist, etc.. on the Music tab of the HTC Home screen. The light blue is driving me crazy.

Remove the HTC Player you installed.
Install thishttp://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-htc-audio-manager-v1-2-515-718.html
If that doesn't work..Download the HTC Customizer, run it, and download the Audio Manager through it. Thats how I got mine. Black theme, default player, and everything.

Did this work for anyone? I have exactly the same version installed with my Custom ROM and it is still blue. There is no way to installed because it was part of the ROM. Will new install overwrite the old files? Thanks for your help.
On the same note, has anyone been able to figure out how to change the way time is displayed "within the Music tab of the Home". Mine is always showing "time remaining", and I would prefer to see "time elapsed". I am able to change it in the Audio Manager, but the changes don't effect the plugin for Home. Please help!

No today screen scroll bar. anyone willing to develop?

when u have a number of today plug ins up and it goes over the screen limit the ugly (IMO) scroll bar come up could someone try and develop something to remove this and enable a touchflo like scroll of the today screen much like the iphone in this video :- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFITXsB56Z4 in the first 7 or so seconds. thanks

I have this idea also for a fue weeks now, this will be realy nice to see. Because now i dont have to many plugins on today screen because that scroll bar is so ugly and anoying. Let's see what can be done
I'd love it, too. I know that too many plug-ins on today screen will decrease performance, but I'd just love to have weather plugin or quick dial pictures just below the bottom edge. That would be fantastic, especially when used with FTouchFlo...So...pretty pretty please!!!
Hello,
My todayscreen is about 500 pixels long, so with the ugly desent bar....You gues
With severals programs you can change the value of :
Horizontal Scrollbars Width (2)
Vertical Scrollbars Width (2)
Then there will be juste a black line....the scrolling you'll do with FtouchFlo
Yeah - I use 'FTouchFlo' and I can scroll on the today screen with my finger (you will have to make the vert, scroll bar thin as above post).
So search for 'FTouchFlo' on these forumns.
Yeah,but scroll bar is quite useful everywhere else,isn't it? Well,at least for me it is...

not when you have touchflo I rarely use the scroll bars unless im using the stylus but even with the stylus I don't always use the scroll bars anyway i just want the today screen scroll bars removed or something .
But its nice to know if you've got anywhere to scroll to in the first place,right? I like seeing where I am in the list,that's what I use scroll bars for. Just information. Also,sometimes you've got small menus popping down (for example when choosing appointment time or something) when scroll bars can be useful.

well then you wouldn't install the program if someone developed it. I would prefer a scroll bar less today screen and so would some other's, its not all that useful to me. I never put items over the limit cose in my opinion they look ugly. and a finger friendly way to scroll through the plug-ins on the today screen.
I agree with sebastian. I like to see a thin scroll bar of width 12px in IE when I check my gmail. I like to see when I'm close to the bottom of the page so I don't have to waste my time scrolling right down to the bottom. It would completely disorientate me to not know where I am in the many lists in all the programs I use, or to know how may things there are in my list. Wouldn't it with you?!
SMS, Resco file explorer, agenda one, Adobe acrobat, word, pocket E-sword, and file browsers in all my other programs (like TCPMP, SPB Imageer which i use frequently) are all pretty much screwed when I set the vertical scrollbar to minimum length 2. Besides that black line is pretty noticeable and annoying.
What we need please is a SEPARATE scroll bar for the today screen. I'd donate straight away for that.
+1 to frenchglen

I only want a program to get rind of the today screen scroll bar not for evenything, an alternative i wouldn't mind is a program to make the scroll bar less that 10px which is the current minimum. what exactly do you mean by separate scroll bar?
What I (and I'm pretty sure the others) mean is:
We want to be able to scroll up and down on the today screen without an ugly scroll bar AT ALL (an invisible one),
But leave alone the normal scroll bar in all the programs we use. I don't want to get rid of that!
Besides, you can't make it invisible, the registry only allows it a minimum of 2px. To resize it, try SKTools or google/search the forum for the registry hack.

this is the reg hack:
To change the thickness of the scrollbars at the right/bottom of documents larger than the screen, adjust...
For the horizontal (bottom) scrollbar:
HKLM\System\GWE\cyHScr = 9 (DWORD decimal)
For the vertical (right) scrollbar:
HKLM\System\GWE\cxVScr = 9 (DWORD decimal)
The default thickness is 13. You can set the value to pretty much anything you like > if you dont wanna see it > 0

can i get rid of the top today separator line?

hi to all,
this is another annoying thing i have been trying to get rid of for a few months now.
it is regarding the grey horizontal line which sits right under the top bar.
to be more precise: i am not referring to today-plugin seperator lines in common, i mean just the top one, which seperates the top bar (containing the radio icons, etc and the start menu) from the first today plugin.
here are my findings so far:
- as it is somehow related directly to the os, you cannot make it transparent
- the reg-key hklm\software\microsoft\today\items\htchome\lock position = no does not solve the problem
- setting hklm\software\microsoft\color\6 (today screen horizontal bars) to the same color as the background does also not work as it only affects the other plugin seperator lines
is there any news to this topic? maybe there are more possibilities to tweak when you have 6.1 device?
many thanks
I have the same question.
i used to use vjtoggletoday to make the top bar smaller. the default size is 26 i believe. Set it to 24 and that should hide the seperator but keep the rest of the top bar visible.
it's not the exact fix you're looking for but it pretty much get's you the same look.
i have been using vjtoggletoday as well for hiding the buttom-bar and the top-bar separator line. but from time to time the buttom-bar and the top-bar were re-appearing - so i was hoping to find a more stable solution. i am using now dcinobar which only hides the buttom bar
did you ever find a resolution? I found this site...have not tried, but you may want to take a look. (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mobile/PPCColorConfig.aspx)

Any way to change font colour on Home Screen?

Are there any tweaks to change the colour of the font displaying Missed Calls/Calendar/Date/Alarm etc on the Home Screen (or even better, to have an opaque box behind the text)?
I have some nice photos I want to use as backgrounds, but they are mostly white so I cant see any text!
Cheers,
Doc
same for me... i wanna use a more lighter background picture. But with the white letters its not really useful.

could you please tell me if this tool works for you and your HD? I want to change my home screen font color too but i still didn`t found a way...
Thanks,
Brad
I've look also for the exactly same thing and I've reached to the following conclusion: you can't do anything about it.
I've tried tons of programs, registry editing, hexa editing etc. Spend days on the issue. Nada, nothing. I even some some experienced users saying that it can be changed almost any colors on tabs, exept the ones above.
LE: I think the most closest possibility for us to obtain this effect is to manually edit the wallpaper and place some dark boxes where the text is written, but this means that the dark boxes will apear on every other tab also.
hello...I have tried this UItweaker on my touch hd...
I tried the one to change the today screen font color...
and spinning wheel of death occured...
so I killed the UITweaker but the font color indeed changed
I soft reseted and changed it back - again spinning wheel of death - and after having back to nromal I removed it because it seems like not the program I want to my mess my phone...since it seems the device does not like it....
and anyway..i think that after having this program my google mpas started to be stupid - I dont know if it really is because of this - but now the google maps show My Location as a venezuela...that is not true, I am in middle europe...WTF I want it work again normally...
this sucks
so if you want try it, it changes the color, but it is not working flawleslly and I hate that...
The UI Tweaker only messed up my other colors, but doesen't changed the color I wanted.
Take care using it.
I also had issues with UI Tweaker, I somehow changed the background of the buttons on the home page (Phone, Programs, x button etc) to pink and couldnt change it back!
I remember seeing a Russian Rom that had black text on the home screen, so I do think its possible.
My workaround for the moment is to edit the background pic and draw an opaque box where the info is displayed.
I think it looks quite cool! It does take a bit of messing around (trial and error) to get it in the right place, and I still have to add a few more (date/alarm)... work is quite busy atm so I dont really have the time!
If I do find another way, I will post it here.
As I said, the only problem for this workaround is that in all other tabs, the background will apear with the boxes from the HOME tab.
I wonder if it is a way of having different wallpapers for each tab.
Must search that.
LE: Found that: Change wallpapers. It gives a solution how to have a different background picture for the rest of the tabs.
so simple
go to settings > home screne > scroll to color scheme & select > scroll to : text: black" then select done

iFonz 2 Bottom Bar

I want open this post to know what users want in iFonz 2.
You want bottom bar equal to iFonz 1 with icons or actual text menu?
Please reply this pool to have an idea of future development.
Bye
the programs are great!! what i could think of is to try to incorporate them as a today plugin like pointui or throttlelauncher etc.or at least a way to have it always open without access to the today screen like spbwatcher did for mobile shell for people who would like this to be their main interface without worrying about closing the app and reopening
as for the poll, i would say that an option to choose would please more people
I would love to have back the bottom row of icons from 1.0, I definetly prefer it to having a home screen. I makes it a more complete iphone clone for those of us with iphone envy who aren't on at&t
I agree. Icons are better.
I like the bottom button row more than the menu. But if you see a chance to give every user the option of choosing what he/she likes, this would be the best ever
Thx for your hard work.
I'd like nothing, or a switchable bottom bar. So i voted for configurable.
I use iFonz as launcher, so there's no need of a bottom bar if not to launch configurator or to minimize/shut down the app. But if you'll implement again gestures as in iFonz 1, i'll have definately no need of a bottom bar. Configurable, in my opinion, is better: who want it can have it, who don't can get rid of it.
Hi ssj5trunks,
I like and use both versions of iFonz on my LG KS20. Both work very stable.
I prefer the bottomiconbar cause all important apps are always available.
But as I like the idea of the homepage, I would like most if the homescreen would not be a separate page, but the first of the scrolling pages.
If this would slow down to much, maybe you could create an icontype "switch to homescreen/back" in oderer to swap between icons and homescreen.
