Hi Everyone:
I'm hoping someone can help me out with this. I've already tried registry hacks and I think that's how I got into this mess in the first place. Last thing I tried was using Tweaks2k2.net and I made it even worse. Basically some of my fonts are completely messed up. I've attached a picture so you can see what I'm talking about.
If you notice at the top, the letters sorting the contacts are so big they're distorted. If anyone knows how to fix it I would greatly appreciated.
Thanks for all your help.
try this...
1. launch Tweaks2k2...
2. goto System Tweaks->System Tweaks
3. Select "Tahoma" in the dropdown list.
4. Check then Uncheck the adjacent checkbox.
5. exit and choose soft-reset.
6. after reset... goto Start->Settings->System Tab->Screen
7. goto Text Size then adjust smaller or bigger. just change what was defaulted just for this fix, you could always change it back when you dont want it.
8. check your contacts again.
have a nice day!
Thanks for the reply.
Hey There:
Thanks for helping out. I actually resolved it already, I thought I posted the response to my own post but I guess it didn't come through.
The way I solved it was by going to the same registry settings that I messed with and I set them up as HEX FFFFFFF4, this brought back all the text to the original size, problem solved.
See the problem was that I didn't want to really change the txt that I did change, I could have gotten away with going to the properties and changing the font size but I didn't know that.
Thank you again for your kind help it is greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
no prob... im glad you solved it.

Hi everybody,
I want to use a picture as wallpaper in my Qtek 9000..
But there is a problem: the lines between the Today plugins!!
I solved DEACTIVATING all today plugin!!
But i can't belive that i can't ERASE that damned lines!
Well: i tryed Wisbar Advanced desktop... but it slows the PPC..
I would write to Microsoft.. Because i HATE that lines..
I could use Pocket Plus.. But seems it crashes PDA..
Can you suggest me something similar.. Maybe freeware..
Please help me..
Bump and ditto, easy solution?
I too would like to know how to get rid of those stupid lines, it just makes any background image look crap.
I have managed to edit the Tomtom logo and made it smaller so it takes up less space but the annoying lines have to go.
If anyone out there knows a solution it would be greatly appriciated.
how did u edit the tomtom logo?
You could try changing the colour of the lines. Google for Tweaks2k2 and you should find a great tool you can download and use 3 times before needing to purchase it. BTW, the tool does a lot more than give you the ability to change the colour of the lines. This is a must-have app.
I can't belive that the only solution is to change the line's color!
I want to see the picture of my girlfriend WITHOUT that UGLY and STUPID lines!
No other phone in the world doesn't show a full picture!
I think that the solution is to write to Microsoft.. I can't belive it.. But there is no other solution!
They have to chang Today.. It's too old.. Based on old Pocket PC (In portrait)..
Maybe i posted in a wrong room?
on a old jornada I had I recall an app that had this as an option, so its possible, there must be a way to do it, maybe just replacing the image used for the lines with a blank one?, Im no coder or anything like that, just throwing out an idea, this is a developer forum, maybe someone could throw together a quick and dirty hack or maybe a reg hack, somebody help us out, I hate those lines too.

This issue has come up in several threads. The only way I know to "get rid of" them is to change the color to match the background by using a Theme Generator program.
I found links to the SHMetrics value in the SHELL32.EXE code of wm2003se. It is all done by COMMCTRL.DLL and te lines are called TodayLVItemLine2 and TodayLVItemLine1. But this is very undocumented. The problem is that you need to reboot every time you change something in the SHMetrics value.
See this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=44154
I am still fiddling around with various values of this SHMetrics value. Problem is that I realy don't know what the effect is on what GUI element.
Perhaps one day...
Cheers
Im running wisbar advance 2 and I average 2-8% cpu (overclocked to 264) with it running but I dont see a setting to remove the lines, correct me if Im wrong...
I wish wisbar had different edge/gprs icon support, edge is spotty in many areas I frequent, so I trey to dl when im in an edge supporting cell...even if it just showed the actual icon like "notifications"

to change the colour of the tomtom sign just go to paint and zoom in and change the colour to your desire. i have made mine deep red. and to change the size go into photoshop and change the image size to a smaller size.
Once you have the one you want just go to the tomtom folder that should be on the root of your device and replace the file ttoday.bmp with the one you have. You might want to back up the original ttoday.bmp file just in case.
Once replace you don't even need to soft-reset. just go into settings-today and check to see if tomtom is selected to appear on your today screen. once you tap on the tick in the corner your picture will be updated.
Il try to attach the ones i have done but this is my first time attaching an image so it might not work.
As for the crappy lines on the screen.....Is there not a way just to make the lines invisible???

I don't know if this has been asked and answered before, but I need some help please.. Okay you know how on the T-Mobile Dash when you select a program or whatever and when you go back to the homescreen the program is displayed?? Well I was wondering does anyone know how to clear them from there when you are done using it?? Any help would be greatly appreciated..
Also I installed a program and didn't like it so I deleted it but the short cut or whatever was still on my homescreen so I had to reset my phone to get it cleared..
Thanks as always
Doesn't the default homescreen display your most recently used programs? If so, just use other programs until the one in question is pushed off of the list.

I know that, I was wondering if there was something else I could use..
If you never want to see those icons go and edit the home xml. Your home screens are in Application Data/Home (or something like that, I'm not sure). Find the xml file you are currently using as Home screen and edit it on a PC. Remove the snippet of the MRU list.
Sorry I don't know a way to actually clear the list on the go.
(BTW, a quick note: please refrain yourself from using red. It's pretty hard to read.)
Hi every one and thanks in advance for your help.
On my Samsung i780, there is no way to accept/dismiss the ALS (automatic Line Selection) and this message takes the use of the left soft key rendering useless on the today screen.
I have tried the soft key software and the Shaps advance customisation but the notification message stay on always...
I would try to attach 2 pictures so everybody can have a better idea of my problem. I have make a GREEN CIRCLE pointing to the problem.
Any ideas / solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
I am having the same problem with I780PUHB3 phone ROM and russian Beeline SIM card. I figured out it depends on SIM card, so you may be lucky asking your carrier for a neew SIM card.
i had the same problem.. but when i install RealVGA, the icon is not in the taskbar anymore, and the left softkey is usable now, maybe is a problem with a space in the screen
I have/had the same problem, but unfortunately there seem to be no solution but to change the sim.
I tried it with two "3"-simcards in Austria: The new one seemingly doesn't have a second line.
remove it from registry
To make the notification disappear, remove the 2 entries under the following registry.
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State\Shell\Notifications\Active
REMEMBER to back up the registry first. But everytime u get phone service again u need to do the above again.
Anyway, hope this helps.

Make changes in registry as follows:
[\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin]
Enabled=0
Is there any way to keep the indicator at the top of the screen but suppress the notification message in the bottom left?
I'd like to know which line I currently have selected but don't want to lose the use of the left soft key.
The first registry change in this thread only works until you turn the phone on and off again which is unhelpful.
The second registry change in this thread gets rid of the indicator on the top bar - thus getting rid of the notification message - but that's not quite what I want to do.
As far as i know there is no way of doing what you want, we went through this a while back when i asked the question ages ago and i dont think it has been sorted yet.
Basically the samsung dialer skin brings the line 2 functionality, it is either a choice of using that skin with the line 2 and the annoying notification, or using the standard dialer without.
Its a tough call, i went for the second option. If i ever work it out i will be sure to let you know.
I would love a further fix for this. The problem with the fix below is that I cannot use a skin for the dialer and I much prefer some of the more finger friendly dialers...
[\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin]
Enabled=0
So any further ideas?
Hello people,
Has anyone solved this problem?
Thanks in advance

works on my i780 (heineken v.2.1 ROM) thx
Hello,
First of all - I'd like to thank everybody for their support especially Kavana and Ricky for cooking these 6.1 ROMS. Wonderful Job !
Secondly, I finally got to installing 6.1 but still haven't made any modifications except restore sms/contacts and install smart tool kit. I love it - it's pretty fast compared to wm6.
The issues that I'm having is the following:
1) Colors - Say if i want Sliding Panel as my theme, how do i go about getting a black one and having a black background - sorry if it's been covered already.
2) SMS - I had almost 200 + SMS from my girlfriend that i had backed up and after installing 6.1, i restored them all only to find out, everything is in order now that is - for example
all incoming sms organized into sub-folders.
A
B
C
Even though this is cool, I don't prefer it and would like to go back to how it used to be before, that is all sms sorted by date - i'm having a hard time reading all her sms so if someone can please tell me what to do in regards to this, that'd be great.
3) Finally, I find that the system fonts pretty small compared to wm6, what can i do to change this?
For now, I think this will be all. I'd appreciate it if someone could help me solve these issues.
hmm, noone has a solution? I'd really appreciate it.
Some Resolution

Answers:
1) Go to settings, home. Select Sliding Panel. Under the section that says color scheme, select black. Also, as far as having a black background, find one you like. Open it with your phone using file explorer. Select it as homescreen under the menu tab using the right soft key.
2) No help here
3) Edit your xml code and select different fonts for what pieces you want. You might also have to look at your .cpr file and edit it as well. Just use notepad to edit either one of these. Just look in the file for lines that refer to fonts like Lucidia Grand, or Times New Roman, etc. You get the picture? I hope so, good luck.
Thanks for your help!
LOL - I feel like a noob, even though i've done pretty much everything with this phone with WM6, i guess 6.1 cause of the new interface and all - i figured everything i wanted so far, haven't gotten the fonts yet but will do so but yeah got the sms threading disabled, got rid of clockontop, changed my background etc.
I am trying to find a way to increase the font size, in a number of places but say for example in the phone list. I would find it far easier to read the phone numbers if they were a little larger.
In the system settings there is a tab for Accessibility. However when I click it, the next box available is greyed out and inacessible.
Has anybody any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help!!
I cant believe that NOBODY knows how to do this????!!!!!!!!!!!
I can remember , when I last blatted my phone.. that area pops up with a box saying do you want to install accessibility, select no ... never seen it since .. apart from a full reset...
Must be a file to get it back some where .
