hi, simple question, i want to move the scrollbar from right to left side in explorer? is it possible? i hide the screen while scrolling.....(left handed)
normally the scrollbar locations are hard coded into the application. very rarely a developer puts the time into accommodating everyone in all eventualities. there is only so much you can do. so i doubt it's possible but in saying that a lil google for an accessibility app or something similar may yield something
lol lmk if you find out im in the same boat although i prefer Opera
cant you change this in regedit??
i thought you could..
can u? do it in regedit?
Any way to add "recent programs" to the home screen for WM6.1 "sliding panels"?
Hey, folks! 1st time post here (I think!)
Anyhow, I upgrade my Dash to the Kavana WM6.1 ROM last week. I *really* like the sliding panels home screen layout. Super useful, if you ask me! I was wondering, though, if anyone knew how to add "Recent Programs" as on of the sliding panel plugins? I've opened the "SlidingPanel.home.xml" file and found the plugins section for the home screen order. It has...
<Plugins Order="CClock;CHome;CAppointments;CWelcomeCenter;CWindowsLive;Settings" />
So...I'm assuming that there might be some plugin like "CRecentPrograms" that I can add. Does anyone know what the plugin would be, or info on how to get the Recent Programs in there, if possible?
Thanks!
Yip
Unfortunately, there's nothing like that available right now. The next best thing is creating a panel with your most used applications. Search around here a little bit and you'll find it.
That is a good idea, however. Does anyone know how the MRU lists works? where it is stored, how it is called? Perhaps we could cobble it together.

I think its stored in the registry under the shell - I will look for the key later
I'd agree that this would be nice to have. Really the only thing I miss about WM6.0. I'll poke around and see if I can find it as well.
The data is stored under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Shell\StartMRU
I'm not sure what to do with it from there though as far as creating a panel/plugin for it. If anyone could point me in a direction I'm willing to try to do it.
I would love to have this plug-in as well.
You do realize that depending on where you try and put that in the home screen, your one button click away from your recent programs list in wm6.1? Otherwise you'd be 4 to 5 clicks if you added a panel to the home screen.

That's true, of course, but it's what I prefer. I had the "Recent Programs" on my home screen in WM5.0 and WM6.0, and would like it back while still keeping the *wonderful* sliding panels UI.
Also, I would really prefer to have "All Programs" be the default when I hit the Start menu button. I know I can do that now, but then I lost the Recent Programs feature altogether.
Someone raised a good point, though: is there a way to create a home screen "panel" that features a handful of links to programs that I specify? That might actually be better, in my case.

I would try too if I knew where to get info on the new plugin system (the CHome thingy). Does anyone know? I can't find any doccos
MRU is one click away in 6.1 lol

Thank you, that's been mentioned before in this thread. It could also be one click away on the home screen, depending on where the panel is located. At worst, you wouldn't have to use it.
IMO, it's not that much different than having the CLinks on there, except instead of it being static, it's dynamic. I think it's worthwhile to have on the home screen if possible.

I'm not fussed about the recent programs how do I get All Programs come up when I hit the Start Menu Button?
nevermind I'm an idiot.
Hi There,
Anybody have any tips on best practices for the Opera browser? i.e. which version\build etc.
What tips and tricks people are using when surfing etc etc?
The reason why i ask is i have a few annoyances such as :
* when i hit launch Brower, navigate to a webpage, move away to another app then come back to the browser, I have to click on the launch browser to load up opera again and then click press the tabs button to go back to the page i was originally surfing
* When surfing e.g within this forum, the text is not word wrapped so have to scroll across the screen, unles i zoom, then the page word wraps. Why can't it word wrap the first time around?
* When i scroll from left to right it sometimes scrolls then instantly scrolls to the far left or far right
* Sometimes if I want to scroll up or down the keyboard gets accidentally displayed.
these might just be the way I am using Opera and may need education
Hi everyone,
I like the new Internet Explorer that comes with WM 6.5 however there is one major annoyance.
I like the fact that it goes to full screen by default leaving just the little “orb” in the bottom. However I HATE the fact that it displays the address bar every time I navigate. The address bar covers the tool bar for my web-based apps and I have to wait for it to disappear every time I navigate from page to page.
Is there anyway I can make it STAY in full screen mode without displaying the address bar unless I ask for it?

yeah,
Don't use the IE, There are far superior browsers out there, delete the icon and forget IE6 exist. IE6 is a good step in the right direction but other browsers out there are far superior.

Eat Toast is right, you have Skyfire, Iris, Opera 9.5, etc......
SKYFIRE
i would say skyfire beats IE 6 10 to 1. page render is waaaaayyyyy faster and the ultimate reason skyfire has flash support built in!
I agree, I dislike Internet Explorer too. Skyfire is definatley a step up.
You know how IE is on the bottom (favorites) and it's the default browser? I made Opera the default browser, but I want to add the Opera where IE is on the WM 6.5 windows default home screen. Even though Opera is the default pressing the IE on the home screen still launches IE and it's favorites. So I want to sub Opera for IE and it's favorites.
Anyone tweaked that up yet???
I also don't want certain options on the home screen. I don't want getting started as of right now on the home screen. No need for it to be there.
Read my sig for current ROM I'm running.
