I don't want that lines in Today!!!

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???

MDAc2 - How to modify WM5

Hello Guys,
The last couple of days I was using this Forum to find out how to modify the appearance of Windows Mobile 5.0 which runs on my Charmer (I believe my MDAc2 is a charmer) and also I want to get rid of everything what's from T-Mobile on it.
This far I could remove the T-Mobile Skin of the DialPad and stoped the T-Mobile software from installing it self after the Hardreset.
What I couldn't remove is the T-Mobile Screen (I think its the Splash screen, but I am not sure) and the Windows Mobile logo screen after Softreseting my device.
But my main concern is that I want the digital clock to appear at the top right corner where the battery bar is instead (Like it was on WM2003 I think).
I tried the tweak where I modify the registry at HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/BTOpt=1, 2 or 3 (DWORD)
but it just works with the "3" value which lets the clock appear along with the date, but the battery bar is still in the background, while having a window open. Once the window is closed I just can the the first two digits of the date in bold with the battery bar still in the background. It looks just messed up.
Using the "1" value, which I accually prefer, wouldn't change anything. Just the battery bar is visible.
So I hope you guys can help me.
Thanks in advance

start up - notes

as most of you know personal info contains also a note and you can set up that whenever you turn on your device this will show up
but to access this field you have to go quite far (toooo many clicks away)
my question is - is there any simple way to access and edit this note? can you make shorcut to standard HTC Home or assing it to any button when pressed longer?
thx

I cannot have my identification info and/or notes displayed on my home screen with TF3D. How do you do that?
I'd love to have some program / tweak to really edit the TF3D. Been waiting for more than a year now, Clock is too big, I can see too few appointsments and I'd like to see notes. Just like you had on that old Nokia.
EDIT: Nevermind, it functions as a sort of screensaver I found out now. Haven't found a quicker way to access the notes though.
EDIT2: The notes screen seems to be cut off after 6 lines. Any way to have it fill the full screen? Now I can only add 5 lines of notes (sixth line is already displayed with the bottom mm cut off) and I have about 10 lines white at the bottom.

I can see 6 lines, that is really strange, based on the space of the whole display and its capabilites ..
never the less I could use some shortcut ...

In search of tweaks...

Please, can anyone help?
I just recieved a new Verizon Touch Pro 2 and am trying to find the tweaks to set it up the way I would like. Frankly, I have spent hours looking and have not been able to find everything. Yes, this is cheesy and weak, but I am just burned out.
I am looking for some help on how to:
1. Change the 'Start' menu to use small fonts and work more like the standard Start menu (I do not use the Touchflo interface)
2. Disable word complete when using the keyboard. My ham hands keep messing things up.
3. Unlock the top of the screen so touching the battery icon takes me to power settings, touching the connection icon will let me disconnect data or start the connection manager and touching the volumn will bring up a volumn control. I really dislike having that area just open notifications.
4. Is there some decent, free theme generator out there? I was pretty happy with the one I had on the Omnia 1, but the TP2 seems to be pretty locked down for Touchflo.
I am sure there are more things, but hopefully getting these key things accomplished will remotivate me to try and go and find everything else myself.
Thanks in advance!
Maybe if I am feeling up to it this weekend I will play with my old Samsung and see what use I can make of it. Until I brick it, most likely. I am thinking about learning to create my own ROMS, and seeing if I can create one with no phone functionality at all. Useless? Probably. But something ingteresting to do on these long winter weekends.

1. TF3D2 Tweak. This has this option. (Pretty sure that's the right link, if it isn't then Google is your friend)
2. When your is displayed, mid-left there is XT9 and ABC, make sure that ABC is highlighted.
The others I'm not too sure about. Let me know if this helps.

3. go to HKLM\Services\NotificationManager\ in your registry.
Change the "flags" entry to 4 instead of 0, and it should go back to the default windows mobile notifications (any value other than 0 worked for me to switch back to the old style, but I saw another post that suggested "4").

I would also like to apply that change to unlock the top bar but am getting an "Access Denied" message when I attempt to change it.. Using mobregedit to do it.. what should I do?

[Q] Start Menu Issue

My Sprint Touch Pro2 running the stock WM 6.5 ROM suddenly started having an issue with the start menu. The text under the program icons seem to have become smaller. More importantly, when I slide open the keyboard, the icons still appear in 3 columns. Before, when I slide open the keyboard, the icons would expand and fill the width of the screen. This has been annoying me! Does anyone know where the setting is to fix this or a registry tweak?
I was messing with the registry settings for the HTC audiomanager (I cannot get rid of ringtones in the HTC sense library, and still can't!), so I may have changed some registry setting, but I am pretty sure I did not.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know a solution for this?
I have the same problem. I didn't change anything in the registry but suddenly the font in the start menu is smaller and the start menu doesn't change when I slide open the keyboard.

Never heard of it... Interesting...
