I'm using a gel skin, I find it difficult to press the small x and ok buttons on the top right of the phone without having to peel the skin back just a little to use the buttons. Is it possible to move them to the center or even a little to the left where they are more accessible with one hand instead of using two?
Thanks

Cant be done. Try 6.5.x roms for more finger-friendly
I totally agree that the X is not accessible with a gel skin. Is there a cab that would allow this? Would someone please make a cab app for this? Thank you!
Thanks for the responwell that kinda blows. I will look into other roms and see what they can do.
much appreciated
Why not use the back hardware key (the arrow) at the bottom of the screen? It has the exact same effect...

Does anyone know if there's a setting to change the scroll bar from right to left in IE? I looked around but no joy. Thanks lads.
Other than using the unit upside down, I dont think this is possible! I am assuming that you are left handed ?
Nigel
It would be a nice option, not just for Universal, but for Win Mobile in general. I am left-handed, and the vertical scrolling is a PITA. I can not see where I am scrollling to because my left hand is covering the screen, and sometimes even accidentally touching it & activating links.
Same problem here Bill. Anyway, maybe someday Microsoft will make something for us the left handed ones. And thanks for the great tip veletron. lol (I can actually do more or less the same things with both hands but fot this I rather use the left.)
Couldn't you use the scroll buttons instead?
I'm working on something that could be hacked into assisting this, but it'd be a bit of a cludge.
If there's a need shout out and I'll see if I can get around to it.

I have tried using the scroll buttons, but they don't really scroll, rather they jump from link to link (in PIE) which resulsts in very jerky screen movements, and that is not very useful for me.
Then I tried a registry hack mentioned on another forum to make the button do real screen scrolling, but when I tried to use it, the device froze, and sent me to Hard Reset H*ll.
Ideal for me would be in PIE would be scroll bars on the left and buttons that really scrolled. Actually scroll bars on the left would be nice in every application.
It is not a necesity for me, but the bar on the right is an inconvenience --mainly in PIE.
Lefty here as well dude. Would be great to have a less discriminatory device :lol:
The worst thing is, that when you use the scroll bar with your left hand, you can't really see when to stop since your hand is covering most of the screen.
All leftys out there unite !!!

nuther lefty beggin' for help...
My X (close) button must be sized wrong. When I try to click a button that is just below the X (for example the green arrow refresh button in PIE) the X button activates...arrgh
I am definitely CLICKING well below the X button.
I am trying to find a Registry Entry or something to make that X button's activation size smaller.
Please help!!!
It seems to me that your touch screen is miscalibrated. Try recalibrate it.

Thanks, but I have recalibrated a hundred times.
And to clarify, it is only the X button that gives me a problem - all other buttons activate correctly.
There has to be a way to "size" the button's activation area.
Please help!!

Seeing you have an HTC Touch, I'm guessing it's got something to do with the biotouch feature that makes the X easier to press.
Using a registry editor, try HKLM/Software/OEM/TFLOSettings/FingerPressure.
The lower the value, the harder you have to press. Maybe this will help. Use at your own risk.

thanks but I changed that also without success... again, i dont believe that is the problem because it would be causing this same issue with other buttons. The X is only one that gives me a problem. I literally can be tapping well below it and it still recognizes the click - this is very frustrating when i type in a web address and try to click the green arrow to "enter"...
also, it is not a problem on my wife's touch, which is set up exaclt like mine
sigh

cool proggie, but does not help.
does anyone know how to resize the X button?
I've used X-Button on several devices and none have had that problem and have only activated on the icon itself. Never off of the icon.
Have you tried removing any screen protector and cleaning around the edge of the screen in that area. I've seen protectors/dust/lint etc caught in the edge that messes up the alignment just in that area.
If you want to verify if its the screen or the progam then you could disable the X-Button in its settings and then install another Task Manager program like iLauncher .. Does the other program exhibit the same flaw or does it work correctly. If it works fine then X-Button was actually causing a problem. If your still having the same problem then its most likely something causing a problem with the screen.
I would like to make my X button bigger if possible, so going back to the original poster, is ther any way to do it.

Hi all,
I have a Dot or a small Square on the top left of my screen !
What is it ? and how can I get rid of it ?
There was no program running in the task manager when I took the screenshot, see it in the attachment.
Soft reset get rid of it?
I have it too on Itje´s 6.5, i think it comes from the new panel manager.

I suspect it has got something to do with Finger Keyboard 2. I have the square too but only in landscape mode. See if you can get rid of the square by changing the SIP to some other keyboard.
I see you're using Gtrab's taskbar, perhaps that has something to do with it?

I like the windows slide to unlock feature.
But I hate the location of it? What's the point of putting it right at the top of the screen
If you've got the phone in your right hand it's almost impossible to slide it around (not that I'm complaining about the screen being too big )

I have the slider on the bottom of the screen. I installed 3 cabs for the lockscreen. One of these put the slider on the bottom of the screen. The 3 cabs I used are Dusk_6.5_Lockscreen_v3.0.CAB, HeartofWolf Lockscreen fix v4 transparent.cab and tommy34_fix_2_not_disappear_(W(Q))(Q)VGA.cab. Found them on htcpedia (heartofwolf you can find here http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=363)

OK, don't bother. I tried it and it looks good. Seems to do exactly what I want.
hmm, maybe can skip s2u2 then, since having not so big hand sliding all the way up with one hand was kinda hard
thanks
Why not use your right hand thumb to unlock it?
I can do it with no problem when I'm holding the HD2 in my right hand.
Hi!
I don't get why there's no possibility to change the position of the app drawer?! Bottom right is quite uncomfortable for lefties. The same goes for the multi-window-sidebar. It only opens on the right side.

You can download Nova launcher from Playstore, as for the multi windows side bar I think there is a setting for that, I saw it once where you can change to left or right side, cheers:fingers-crossed:
I'm already using another launcher on my phone.
You can reposition the multi-window-sidebar from right to left in the settings? Are you sure?
