Hi!
I've made some changes to the phone skin and the registry settings to make the SmartDialing more usable, at least in my opinion. I also posted this information in the B&B v3.7 release thread, but since that threat has become so large, it is hard to find just the information you are looking for. So I thought I start a new thread on this issue.
There has been many questions and opinions about the color of the smart dialer included in B&B v3.7. Most of the persons with questions did find the text hard to read, due to the low contrast between the text and the gray background. I tried to tweak the registry settings in HKLM\Software\HTC\SmartDialing to get it better, but the problem was really the dark gray background, so I thought I should try to do something about it. The result is is what you see in the attached screenshots. The registry settings and changed skins is attached.
Copy the BMP's in the zipfile to windows of your device (with a software that can overwrite files in ROM, e.g Resco Explorer or total commander) and import the registry changes (e.g with Resco).
Regards,
PK

Here is a program to import reg keys: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=801
Hi,
I have searched all over, and could not find an answer...
Is there a way to skin the pinpad screen? I have WM6, and it still looks like WM5. Any way to make the buttons look a little more like the rest of the phone?
Also, is there an alternate dialer beyond the 'Kaiser-style'? I think that looks gross.
Any answers would be appreciated.
Bump. >_>
Anyone have any ideas or places to point me?
Have you tried using one of Schaps dialers? Search the forum or his threads on his roms to download a cab.
WB
Not sure about the pinpad but in order to skin the dialer, you'll need to edit some files associated with the dialer.
There are about 100 picture files and 3-4 dll files associated with dialer and usually located in \Windows folder. You'll need to change the picture files and edit the dialogue of the dll files using resource hacker or similar programs.
wacky.banana - I am using Schap's 4.31 ROM
kamp - Thank you for the idea, I will look around and see what I can find.
Chinese Characters on TMobile Dash
Hi everyone,
I have in my possession an unlocked TMobile Dash which I'm trying to get some use out of in Shanghai, CN. I can't get it to display any Chinese characters except in ClearVue applications and internet explorer (so no SMS, menus, network warning messages, etc.)
I once had hopes of flashing the dopod ROM, but obviously I didn't act quickly enough.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

just copy a chinese font into windows dir.
You can try to install the CE-STAR.
It's the great software for you.
I had heard that CE-Star works well on the Dash for Chinese. I personally am using the Dash in Japanese (SMS, e-mail, Web, not menus, though).
~Cheers~
what about Korean? what software or what can i do... so that my dash could read korean as well????
thanks,
display japanese characters? (kana, kanji, asian font)
Hi,
has anybody succeeded in getting Japanese characters to display? Especially in email, web (opera mobile), dictionary (MDictSP).
I've searched the forums a bit:

There are lots of free solutions for PocketPC edition (or palm os) on the web, but next to nothing for Smartphone.
I'll keep you up to date if I manage to get anything working (haven't experimented yet).
use CE-STAR
It supports most Asian languages.
Incoming call screen font size
Is there any way to increase the font size of the calling number and name on the incoming call screen? This is for the Rogers WM6 ROM. I've looked through the registry but couldn't find an entry for this.
I did change the system font to "large" in the accessibility settings, and while it changed other screens, it had no effect on this one.
Any help is appreciated.
Is there really no solution for this?
If you can find out how to change the colors to white that'll be great too. Sesinger, do you know how to change the colors of the home screen test to black? I've got some pictures I want to use as wallpaper that are too light for the white text. Thanks

To-Do List Font Size
Hey everyone, searched for 20 minutes so it's not on the forum or I'm blind. Regardless, I'm wondering how I can change some of the fonts - most importantly my "to-do" or "tasks" when I'm entering them in on the phone. Running the HTC Rom and wm6. I want to make the font smaller so I can see more on the screen when entering and scrolling...
Also, I'm wondering if there's a way to change the font size in the text messages. Size that I'd prefer would be "small" or "smallest" if your viewing any text in your pop.mail.
Any one have any places, programs, or instructions to modify this? Tried SK Tools and it wont change the font sizes on those, just menu, system font, and a couple others.
Thanks ahead for any help.
Huh funny thing is I am also looking at how to change sms font size... in a search this is one of the first posts to come up...lol...

a good way to use a different font size is to use a program called xtreme text.
it is a threading sms app.
the do to list or tasks can be changed only through using a xtreme agenda.
Ive searched and cant find a precise answer i am looking for, SO i'll do it with a thread
How can you change the default font, and font size used in wm 6.1? It looks too big and edgy.
Thanks.

Change Fonts
There are any software that allow to change the font?
font too small for me
Any idea how to increase font size, changed to segoe but too small. Accesibility setting doesn't have increase font option like other roms. Help. Thanks,
Dave
Haha, yeah after not being able to find how to change it I found both those programs. Been using for a while now.
Changing size of system font for WM 6.1?
In the original Chinese build of 6.1 the system font was significantly smaller and I think looked a lot better in text messages, menus, etc. However, now in the WWE version of the 6.1 ROM the system font is a lot bigger. Anyone know a reg edit or something to make it smaller again?
I would like to know also. I have tried editing the read_sytle.0409.css and changing the fonts there doesn't seem to affect anything. I would desperately like to reduce the font on the threaded sms conversations.
Ok I've searched, read the wiki, went through the registry from top to bottom and still can't find what I'm looking for. Does anyone know of a registry hack to increase the font size/type of the number you are dialing? Would be helpful for us older folk. Thanks in anticipation
I always have been able to add korean font by changing a line in registry. However, with WM6.5, there is no "FontLink" under Microsoft directory. Anyone know where to find this registry in WM6.5? Thanks,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontLink
