How to I make the right-hand side bar go away?
Most of the time, it works ok.
But some of the time, it sits on top of forum messages, hiding some of the message text.
Hi,
can you please post a screenshot here to see what's going on for you?
Problems with cutoff messages due to sidebar
Here's a good example. The screen shot's original size was 776KB. The upload program reduced it to 255.5KB. Tell me if there is any problems.

I've never noticed such issue on the website.
Maybe clearing cache and cookies would help. Or try another web browser?
Pinging @the_scotsman in case he could help

When i open a sms or email to read it i first have to scroll up in the message because the default view when i open it is at the bottom of the message.
Anybody else has this problem or knows how to fix it!
I have this sometimes, but not really an annoying thing
I noticed this too. When you have a lot of new sms or e'mails it became quite annoying.

i think this prob is due to the d-pad registry hack for pie. have u changed the reg to scroll down using up/down & scroll links using left/right? if so changing back to default should fix this prob. i personally prefer opera 8 for longterm browsing
My emails and everything always start at the top..
try modified your 'read_style.css'
Hello xda's, altough I'm not that technically savvy, I managed to learn how to create and manage icons to use in creating Chome Configs panels. Thanks to some xda members like Stylez and Nrg for their help so here it goes, and please correct me if I'm wrong.
Find your icon, I like using the icons from www.iconspedia.com, their icons are hardcore and of course hi-res.
The icon size is 22x22 with the highest dpi you can manage. To resize the icons I use Paint.Net(Stlyez ) this program is so ridiculously simple its not even funny, just play with it for a minute and you'll have your icon outputted in no time at all.
Icon Name (like the say, "don't know why it is, it just is" lol)
To have some common factor I use the name Chome in my icons that will be used in my panels ie.
chome_gps_sat_active.png
chome_gps_desat_inactive.png
or you can just name it - icon_sat_active.png and icon_desat_inactive.png but again notice the common factor
I don't know why its sat_active.png and desat_inactive.png but all the icons have to end in that format. Once you have your icons launch Chome Config and create your panel ie. Gps, once you see it go inside and create your 1st page, at the top it says:
Panel Icons:
here you'll follow the aforementioned format including the path of the icons like so:
\Windows\chome_gps_sat_active.png;\Windows\chome_gps_desat_inactive.pg
I highlighted the ";" so you don't forget, if you mess up the icon name or path, you'll end up seeing a red icon with an "x" in the middle, alerting you that something is wrong
The active icon is the icon that will show up when you select that panel and the inactive icon is the icon that will show up when you are not in that panel. If you put the both icons the same, then common sense dictates that the panel will use only one icon for inactive and active views, a lot folks like to have inactive and active icons just to show a little contrast but the choice is strictly yours, and that's why I think this is such a great piece of software, its so configurable yet simple to use once you get the basics. Below are a couple of my icons I used for my Gps panel that holds the following apps: Garmin, Google Maps, Live Search. The little color icon is my active and the bw is my inactive and the original, so you're able to compare the scaled down versions
Well I hope this helps someone and again if some of the more technical members can add some more knowledge, please comment
Good post man, looks like it took some time to do this... So lets keep this post up in order for people to see it and not start new threads asking questions on this topic...
Re: Setting Up Panels
To carry on the subject here is how to set up your CMYApplication the same goes for all panels.
Here is what it look like:
I have set up Opera Mobile
The Red arrow is the name of panel when condensed "not on the panel"
The Blue is the name shown on the top of panel when expanded
The Green is the location of the .exe "program want to open"
The Purple is the location of the picture .png "i place mine on storage card in a folder called PNG"
You may find that page 2 doesn't show as i think there is a bug i have had it on both ROMs hide the page and make a new one to get 20 pages for 20 programs
Hope this helps.
Excellent guys !

Re: Making Panel
Here is a video of me making an Office panel please do not copy my location of the .exe's as they will be different.
But this will show you how to make your own panels
Hope it helps.

I try my best lol just on the up to my Tube, then will post link saves people having to download shame that can embed vids on here, or can we?
I did some searching around, but I couldn't find an answer. Has anyone indexed these panel icons, and the reference numbers for the default? I'm trying to find a panel icon for the myfaves in black and white, so that I can add it to my quick dialer panel. Any thoughts?

This is such a good post lol I use it still lol as I tend to keep forgetting 1 or 2 steps...
lol, stylez did a great a job on the video, we should have more of these, how about one for featherweather2, any takers
Nice work I somehow managed to not comment a long while back. I figured some of this out thru trial and error but some of the tutorial actually helps me tinker even more if I want too. It just sucks that one must redo all of it again with a simple flash...

Thanks.
There must be more we can do through walk through edit.cpr? I got a how to change the panel with PE which i could upload but maybe we need a thread deicated to it all?
Blackjack2 you could change the title to something else like Video & Picture tutorials?
Just a thought...
I feel dumb but is there any docs on how to use Chome I cannot seem to figure it out and I don't want to mess anything up.
Thanks!
You're looking at one buddy, just ask and we'll tell you.
This was very helpful, as I was sort of lost. I had the right idea, but some things weren't totally right until the picture tutorial that stylez put together. Thanks so much.
Great job to both of you.
I added a link to this thread in the original CHome Configurator thread.
Opera on panel
Hello,
Ive been trying to add favorites from opera to a panel, is there a tutorial somewhere how to do this ?
I actually have not been able to add Opera mini to a panel but I think this is how I installed Opera mini..I went to mini.opera.com and installed it but to access the application I have to go to start/java/launch opera.. I can find opera in the application list if I use the template for apps in ChromeConfig and it does add it to a panel it just doesnt work lol
So if anyone knows how to get either of those to work would be awesome.
Thanks in advance.
Hey guys,
Thanks a lot for your tutorials but I am still not able to get my icons to show up. The icons on the top bar(_sat_active.png and _desat_inactive.png) show up just fine but it is the individual icons that dont show. This is the case for both my applications as well as my contacts. Any suggestions?
i changed my font size when i was texting someone and i don't know how i did it. it is now too small, and i want it a lil bigger. does anyone know how i can change the size in my text msgs?
also, i just got this phone. is htc going to send all pro2 users the update when oct comes around with the new system? or we **** out of luck?
thanks
1. Use the zoombar to change font size.
2. Yes, HTC will release WinMo 6.5 for TP2 users.

I assume you are talking about the default WinMo Messaging app? The zoombar works as a font-size changer in that app.
Why are you looking in menus for zoombar? The zoombar is the part of your device between the screen and the 4 hardware buttons.
Wow didn't know that.
Just to confirm it does work as a font size changer, but only when focus is on the text editing area at the bottom.
If focus is still in the previous threaded messages then the zoom bar works as a scroll bar.

i wasn't. you told me to look for zoombar. and i figure zooming had to be in the menu bar since thats how it is in alot of applications i use.
on a diff not, i tried to send a text msg like normal and hit the the 4 hardware buttons and it still does not change my font size. the reading pane window where old text msgs are is the area where i want to change the size.

Haha, dude, I think you're losing me.
What's your "normal" way to send a text message? There are several ways: (1) via compose new, (2) via TF3D, (3) via the threaded view of the WinMo Messaging app.
Why are you hitting the 4 hardware buttons to change font size? (Call send, Call end, Windows key, and Back key are not going to help)
What's this "reading pane window" you are referring to?
What I'm trying to say is a picture is worth a thousand words. Going forward, if you want help with troubleshooting, post a screenshot.
But for your case, try this. Go to "Settings" tab in TF3D, tap "All Settings", go to "System" tab, tap "Screen", go to "Text Size" tab, and adjust the setting here.

When a field is "in focus", that just means that it's active or that's where the cursor is. In fairness to HTC, I thought there manual was quite comprehensive. They've put just enough info to get someone who's not familiar with WinMo to be able to use the device.

Well, I don't think they're going to SEND it to you. I'm sure it will be available on you're carrier's site, presuming the carrier releases there version in October.
Im running mANILLA 2.5.19211619.0 im trying to get my background to change on all the tabs. None of the cabs are working, the only one ive gotten to work adds a huge black space at the bottom of the pic it adds, and once its done I cant change that pic. I want to add a custom picture to it and be done with it, where is the original pic stored so i can replace it?
In \Windows - they're called stwater_480_800 (portrait) and stwater_808_480 (landscape).
Have you tried HD Wall though? You can create a cab file with any picture you want, it skins the top and bottom bars and is bg4all, plus it's easily uninstallable.
Hmm
Those files do contain the background I wanted, But its still showing the weird light blur circle background instead. Changing that file does nothing.
Are you using a miri rom? The background has concentric circles in almost a low res picture? You can enhance the quality of the picture by installing the neo drivers
Again, the easiest way to get bg4all in high res is to use HD Wall.
Yup
Exactly Miri's Rom damn, your good. Ok, was searching for HD Wall, Thanks for the link. I will try HD Wall and report back.
All is great only problem is Weather Tab does not change. Its a completely different background, even from before.
Sorry about that, It was calendar And i see why its different, I was in day to day view. Thanks again appreciate it! Now the background Miri uses for start menu is the background for TFlo 3d. Thanks again!

Strange, miri must have done some coding to the weather tab to use different backgrounds. Sorry, no suggestions on that one. Perhaps try to ask in the miri thread.
EDIT: Ok, I see you were on the Calendar tab. the calendar tab on many roms has a grey backing, supposedly to make ti easier to read.
Yeah
All is good now!, Originally used Titanium but got tired of so much swiping to move around, Now to find a 20 programs menu so i can have 5 on the home screen, found a cab earlier but it messed up the wall paper
Calendar transparency courtesy of millski. Unzip the attached file and copy the files to \Windows using Total Commander and overwrite the originals (after taking a backup of course just in case it doesn't work).
Id hate to open a new thread for this so ill post it here. I've almost got my home screen how i like it, my problem now is Notifications do not show on anything except the top start bar im on build 28011, Miri's test Rom. Im trying to add notification icons above my programs like this:

I would prefer it if the bubbles showed on the home tabs/slider bar in there appropriate icon. but anyhelp is appreciate btw im on manilla 2.5
I have gotten the Text & Email bubbles working, now im working on the Call History / Missed Calls shouldnt they show under contacts? just like the text one does.
I see you did open a new one after all though

Hi all
New here so please be kind and don't swear at me for not searching properly but is there an app or setting that will keep a web page from resizing when browsing from link to link.
Eg While reading a page here on my Desire, I resize the page so i can read it properly but when i click a different link, it resizes back to small, so i have to pinch the screen to enlarge it again.
Is it possible to keep the same size while browsing?
Untick open pages in overview. Its in browser settings.

Thx merc, I would have never found that.
Default Zoom in Settingns changed to "Close" also make the page bigger straight away.
Thx again, great for old farts like me that cant read the screen when it's so small.
