I know its possible on non-WM5 devices but what about the Universal?
Don't intend to install tweak2k2 but just a simple registry hack
Anyone knows?
Thanks
You can run PHM Registry Editor (search on Google) and simply change the reg entry. Unfortunately I can't remember which one it is off the top of my head. Nor can I search on x-d at the moment, as even searching for the word "date" returns no results!??!?
Cheers

From the wiki
Code:
Change the date in the Titlebar
?HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell "TBOpt"=hex:\
13,00,00,00
Change 3 as follows: 0:blank 1:time only 2:date only 3:date & time
Can someone figure out how to stop date line from being bold.
Combine this with follwoing to get a date that fits:
Set short date format to something other than the limited list provided under settings>regional
?HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides "SSDte"="d.M "
This gives 1-10 format with a space behind so that date is not cut off by OK button

Hi vijay555,
I thnk what you posted applies to non-WM5 devices but not for the Universal
:roll:
Could well be, I've never tried it, but it came from the Universal wiki:

There is. You can install the The CAB bellow and then softyreset and then in language settings change : to . and then you can see date and time .

Hi Mahmood,
Thanks.
I got both the short date (on top) and time (below) on the top bar. However, the short date 30.11.05 is displayed in BOLD and that results in the number 5 being partially hidden on the top right corner supposedly covered by the 'X' where you click it to close programs
Any help?
Thanks again
Hi there,
You can pad the entry with other characters or spaces.
ie: "dd.MM "
Note that this will affect all short date occurrences (ie: when you list files in excel/word/explorer).
Cheers.
RE
Hi heidy,
My short date format is d.M.yy for English (United Kingdom)
I don't think I can find anything shorter.
Thanks
RE
Ok, got it!
My date displayed is now 30.11 (without the year)
If only we could hack the letter type and size d.M.yy should fit next to the X.
FOSA
how did you do it its not working for me
RE
Hi magpie2000k,
1) Download the date.cab file
2) Install and softreset
3) Use a registry editor and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell you should see "TBOpt"="13,00,00,00"
4) Then go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides you should see "SSDte"="d.M "
5) Go to "Start" -> "Settings" -> "Regional Settings" -> "Date (for English US) and under Short date select d.M
The date on the top bar will be 30.11 (in BOLD) and not covered by the "X" icon
I got it working on my Wizard without installing the cab file, just did the reg edit and the date showed up after a soft reset, no need to adjust it in regional settings either. I am very happy with this, thanks guys and vijay555 in particular, your answer helped me out.
Could it be that in HKLM/System/GDI of GWE the fontsizes are located?
RE
I would like to report a small problem though.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides and set "SSDte"="dd.M " instead of "SSDte"="d.M " because when the date changes to 1.12 ( 1 Dec) a partial sqaure appears next to the 2.
With the new setting you'll get the date as 01.12 instead of 1.12(with a partial square)
Can someone please post a screen shot so we can see how it looks. Thanks.

Hi guys,
So Sorry.

If you'll to set "SSDte"="dd.M " you get the 2 partially hidden
So the only way is to set "SSDte"="d.M " and with a partial hidden square next to the 2
Well, just have to settle for "SSDte"="d.M " with a partial square until someone can find a solution to un-BOLD the date.
I set mine to
Code:
"SSDte"="MM / dd "
(living in the US) and have no more problems with squares or such.
Help!
The icons on the far right hand side of my task bar are missing, I now can't see the volume controls and I can only see a tiny part of the phone reception icon, how can I restore it to normal??!!
A soft rest doesn't work, nor does booting into ssafe mode courtesy of SPB pocket plus.
Hi,
It's a well know issue on win2005. If you don't show the date on the top bar, icones shift to the right and aren't well displayed. Just use this registry tweak below and choose showing time in place of blank string and the problem is solved...

I've downloaded and installed the HTC Home v2.0 and the X-out plugins (and the customizer) and I really like them. I can't seem to get the battery strength icon to show in the upper right hand corner on the Start bar, though. It just shows at the bottom, where I have to scroll down to see it... I've tried playing with the DWORD ShowTitleBarBattery with value 1 in the registry entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell -- but that just puts is on a separate line at the bottom, not in the upper left corner... Sprint and HTC support have been no help at all, of course... It seems that Sprint only ever shows it at the bottom, and HTC won't support their skins or hacked apps on another platform, but every picture of the Touch home page that I have seen shows a battery indicator in the upper right hand part of the screen.
Ideas? Thanks!
if it helps...
I use a small (70k) program called Magic button. It makes the X close programs, gives you a Windows XP type taskbar, and has the option of adding a battery bar, that runs left to right on the very top of the screen.
From here: http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6800-xv6800/91022-battery-icon-top.html
Clock
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\
"ShowTitleBarClock"=1 (enable)
"ShowTitleBarClock"=0 (disable)
Battery
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\
"TBOpt"=dword:1 (enable top battery meter) You may have to add TBOpt dword if it doesn't exist.
"TBOpt"=dword:0 (disable top battery meter)

Doesn't seem like you can have both. I'm new to this stuff, and I was able to do it with CERegEditor. Good luck
You're correct...you can either have the clock on the Today screens and the rest of the screens, or have the battery on the Today screen and the clock on the rest.
Hmm, I can't get it to work - keeps defaulting back to the clock, which I don't need, since I have HTC Home.
Got it!
Perfect! Thanks!!

I now have my HD.
But whenever I click on one of the bottom menus (you know, the one that says 'menu' or something in the bottom left) I get a massive menu.
Two questions: Would SPB Shell sort this out? Or is there another way to tell I I don't want mahoosive menus? (The 'start' menu has been shrunk already!)

You can adjust this to something smaller. HTC has deliberately made it big to be finger friendly, but that results in scrolling for some program with longer list of items on the menu. I think under the tips and tricks thread you can see how to do it.
Cheers.
It also says in the user manual that this is the case and it shows you how to change it.

Are you talking about the start menu or the bottom menu? The start menu text size can be changed as described in page 41. In which page can you find how user could change the bottom menu text size?
The registry key has been mentioned in the Tips and Trick section. Alternatively, you can also change it using SKTools.
Hi (I'm new here!)
I'm trying to set up my Touch 2 so that it looks and feels exactly how I want it, and I'm nearly there. The only issue I have is the bottom bar. On the home screen it current has "Phone" and "Contacts" as its default, and I'd love to either change it or (preferably) remove the bottom bar completely. I trawled through the user guide from htc.com and I've tried using the Search here to no avail so I just thought I'd ask. Any clues?
Thanks in anticipation....
(by the way, how do I take a screenshot of my phone to post on here?)
Hello,
I think you mean the softkeys...well, as far as i know there is no option to remove them but you can change them with this tool:
