Then tap Menu and hit twice the action button on the center of the D pad and you´ll get to the "Show windows Live in the today screen", once there hit the action button again and you´ll be enabling the "Search bar" in today screen

Greetings,
It is not responding anything when done that, because the Menu is grayed it is not accesible.
Thanks.

Are you talking about Windows Live Search as in the Map-Directions software or just Windows Live that has the messenger?

Hi

Make WM6.5 Start Menu icons movable and change start menu wallpaper?

Is there any way of doing this?
Thanks

You can use a program called IconChanger, it can place the icons where you want in the gridlist. Download it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567080.
When you open the program you just press MENU and Sort Current Items or something like that. Now you will see a list with all the names right, the first 3 is the first line in the startmenu and then the 3 following is the 2nd line and so on.

Thank you for your reply. But can you change the wallpaper for the honeycomb as well?

Yes you can, go to settings/today and disable TF3D, then go to pictures & videos (or album, I'm not sure which one) and find the wallpaper you want, tap and hold it till you get a list, chose "use this wallpaper as background" or something like that, set the transperency to 0% and you're ready to go.
And btw, go to settings and re-enable TF3D of course

In the later versions of WM, you can actually drag and drop the start menu icons around without the need of a 3rd party app.
Most WM6.5.1 roms will support this but WM6.5 does not.

Settings, Menu, All Settings.

I'm loving my HD2, and I'm very happy with the HTC Sense UI, but there's a couple of things that are really bugging me.
One of them is just stupid.
I'm a developer myself, but a Windows dev, not really mobile, and there's NO WAY ON THIS EARTH that I would EVER make a menu that only had 1 option in it.
With that in mind, why on earth do I have to go to Settings, Menu, and then All Settings, to get the settings menu???
Okay, I understand it going to the settings tab, but why there's a menu titled 'Menu' that only has the 1 option of 'All Settings' in it I'll never know. It would make much more sense to just have 'All Settings' instead of 'Menu'.
Can anyone in-the-know give some pointers on how this might be changed? A CAB file would obviously be preferable , but I'm happy to look into this a bit myself.
I know there's some über geniuses on these forums (suck suck). Can any of you help out?

yeah it's not very ergonomically sound
The 'original' settings shortcut is hidden, you can show it by modifying:
HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\HideSettings
Change it from 1 to 0, soft reset, then delete the settings shortcut in windows\Start Menu\Programs
edit: more info here (and it seems you can't delete the 'new' settings link)

Cheers mate. Bit annoying that we have to hack a step back to get some basic functionality, but better that than nothing.
Thanks

It is indeed a bit strange...
We can say that it is a kind of "protection"... To avoide people playing with your mobile to be directly in the settings ...
That is the only reason I see so far (maybe not a good one)

Well, what settings do you need that are in the original WM settings screen and not in HTC's 'More -> Settings'?
But yeah, the 'More' menu with only one item is pretty ridiculous indeed.

I have a question how to make guick link on main screen to settings (WM settings not manila settings)?

In BSB tweaks, there's the option to have Windows Settings as on/off. I have mine on, which gives me two "gear" icons - one is Settings, the other is Manilla Settings. The Settings icon takes me straight to the All Settings you mention.
Any good for you?

Change LockScreen & StartMenu Background

Title says it..
I have Manila 2.1 and I don't see the option to change the background for the start menu and lockscreen anywhere.
I know it's possible under settings/all settings/today - select - Use this as background: browse.. but it won't list any pictures. Only certain resolutions? Or file type?
Maybe there's a registry key?
Thanks.

Should be under settings tab in manila under personalize.

Nope, that's a manila 2.5 feature.

Its been awhile.
Check out Auto Wallpaper Changer.
Changes Lock screen, S2U2 and Home.

Hope it helps.

1. You must enable "Footprints" in your "Home screen tab" (Home -> menu -> Personalize home screen tab)
2. You can now put a "Footprints" as your quick link adding by touching the empty quick link and go to "programs"
3. After you add it on quick link you can again go to: Home -> menu -> Personalize home screen tab and then remove "footprints" from "Personalize home screen tab")
4. Go back to HOME and VOILA...footprints are on quick link BUT not on "Home screen tab"

wow... nicely done mate...

ahh... but it now doesn't open up once i remove the individual tab.....
i wonder why that is?? anyone else wanna take a jab at it??

hmmm...i see now...
dunno where is the problem...with tweeter is the same problem...

yea... shoot.. it was close though... great effort... but i recall reading somewhere about people "creating" shortcuts via registry edits... is there a way to do this??
