u mean like a homescreen that is not a sliding panel? well havnt tried it i only tried it with sliding panels

yea, because i have a homescreen that isnt one. and in that spot it says right menu and i already deleted the links to that, thinking that it would put that softkey back to contacts, but it isnt and i cant seem to find any way to change it back.
is there a .CAB or something?

Try the attached.
thanks much
erm... where do I find it once installed?
Start--Settings--system
there should be a icon in there called 'softkey'
it wasn't there 'til i did a soft reset
thanks
Now is there a way of having one of the buttons go straight to running programs?

Go to start>settings>system>softkey and you can then choose which application you wish to assign to left or right softkey. To get the calendar working properly on either softkey you will need to reg edit.
go to \HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112
and change:- windows\lsk\htccalendar.exe
to:- windows\lsk\calendar.exe
but wm6 there's no "running programs" application to be put there

Settings change from WM5 to WM6

Hi Everyone,
I upgraded to the O2 WM6 ROM last night and theres a few things I cant do that I could on WM5 and was wondering if someone could tell me how.
1. On the desktop i cant get the two buttons at the bottom to change from Calender on the left and contacts on the right.
2. The running problems icon has gone from the start menu options and I cant find it anywhere
I know these are trivial but you know what its like when you set something up the way you want and get use to it and then its taken away.
Cheers everyone.

Hi,
1. Just copy the file into the windows folder, do a soft reset, and go to start\settings\system... you will find the solution to remap the softkeys...
View attachment SoftKeyApplet.zip
2. Install this program. It will make an icon to the top right of the today screen. By this icon you can manage your running programs.

Cheers.
Cheers zsitvayb, worked a treat.
Is there a way to remove the battery indicator from the bottom right corner of the desktop next to the comm manager. Im using batterystatus which is more accurate so i have no need for it

Yes, that's possible. You shold do some registry tweaking... Hereby you can find a descriptipn about the registry tweaking: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_Registry
Thanks again.
Can i ask one more, it will be the last.
When you go to text messages the left soft key is delete where as in WM5 it was new. Any way to change this back to New.
Thanks for all your help

Well at the bottom, where I assume it says "OK" or "Cancel" (the two softkeys)... it's in Chinese
For other people trying to figure the two keys out... The one on the left is the OK and the one on the right is Cancel
Any way you can reword the soft keys???
I just assumed the left soft key was OK and it was. Works good. Thank you!

Problem is, is that the cmhome.dll file cannot be copied anywhere. I've tried resco and total commander and via PC using activesync and it will not let me copy the .dll file over to edit it. Otherwise, i'd see if i could edit it. I think it will have to be included in a ROM or someone is going to have to see if a registry key can be added to fix(hack)this
Thanks Kavana!! More great work!! Figure out a way to make the system font smaller yet?

Provide the info you found please always helpful for others reading post
I sure can. actually it's pretty simple. Go to application data/home folder (example-whatever.home) file you want to tweak. email or what ever method you choose to get the file to your PC (I emailed it from my phone to myself). Open on PC and tweak using Notepad. Save your new version under a different name or same name and Autosync back to phone and put back in same folder and away you go with your new personalized homescreen. Let me know if this works for you as well. I will mess with it tonite and post before and after pics when done.

{question} TF3D Music Library background?

Does anyone know where to set the color / background of the white music library menu ?
I've managed to isolate most of the visual manila properties but cannot seem to locate the file that fills the background.
By now my hunch is that it's an inverted version of the default tab backgrounds.
I've searched for hours all over the place but i couldn't find an answer for this part of the background.
Can somebody help me out?
thanks
here you are
edit: sorry i didn't read the question correctly it is manila file 0d1412f9_manila
happy skinning!

That's what I thought at first as well.
But somehow if I replace the file with a grey one it doesn't change the background
I have attached the grey filled manila file i copied to my device.
I used the mode9editor which does a great job with the normal background 4 all tabs without any hex editing.
do you have an idea what is going wrong?
hmmm... I am am clueless..... sorry... maybe it is unetitable....

Did you manage to rebuild it in your theme (couldn't find screenshots )
the background for all tabs i used... did work for the settings tab... but... there was some bugs...
:-(
but i am not sure about the music tab..... i'll check it up later...

WHen I use the background for all tabs the '3d' grid part of the music library does disappear but the background stays white
maybe that is a preset..... yes it could be....
i think htc has coded it to have a white background and invert the tiles.....
that is the only way i can think of...

I feared such a thing..
And I guess you can't tell me either where that code can be revoked?
hmm.... off the top of my head i can not... but i'll be sure to help you on your project
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm..............
give me some time... i might be able to come up with something...

I have to confess.. I haven't checked the lua scripts yet.
But did dissect all mode9 files in search for this element..
I think i did it!!!!!!
ok replace this .png file with
0d1412f9_manila
it should work....
i can't believe it
lol i think if found it out
try it and then tell me results
I tried that one.. to make the side (where yours is black) grey and also the whole pic black..
I tried yours just now.. but doesn't work either
do you use the touchHD or the X1?
can you zip your manila file that worked to just be 100% sure I don't mess up while creating the manila file.
Touch HD
hmm.... i was sure that was it.... hmm.... i'll look some more....
now i am depressed :-(
don't be depressed
can I have your 0d1412f9_manila file to double check
I don't have the file as i am at work on a mac.
you will have to replace it in manila editor or Mode9 editor
