Hello!
I am wondering if it is possible to remove the scrollbar that shows up on the today screen? I have seen somewhere on the threads that you can remove the scrollbar from a today plugin. But is there any way using the registry?

The only way to do that is to not put more on it than it can show all at once. You can however make the scrollbars thinner by editing the registry.
HKLM\System\GWE-cxVScr for verticle scrollbars and changing the value to a number less than 13
HKLM\System\GWE-cxHScr for horizontal scrollbars
ehhh...
......
Well I do not have more than the screen but it still shows the scrollbar and moves just a little bit up and down. And because of that, it is covering one of my tabs from SPB Pocket Plus.

if u have good eyes, you can reduce the text size, go to start > settings > system > screen and the text tab....
You could take off an unnecessary plugins from Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Today -> Items
But i'm guessing you need all the stuff on the today screen...
I have the same problem occasionally with cLaunch. If you have even one pixel more than what can be shown on the screen it'll put up that damn scrollbar. I also ran in to that problem before when I didn't have too much on the screen but for some reason it would be there anyway until I rotated the screen by opening the keyboard and then when I closed it again it would magically dissappear. I never did figure out why that was happening, but it hasn't happened since I started flashing new ROMS.
Just came up with 3 possibilities to fix your problem.
1. Check and see if pocket plus has a heighth adjustment. If it does, adjust it to be a few pixels shorter and see if the scrollbar dissappears.
2. If you don't use the icons in the system tray for anything, use explorer or explore in activesync and go to windows\startup and remove the Init_Tray.lnk and then soft reset. The system tray will be gone and you'll have that much extra room on your today screen and the scrollbar should dissappear after that.
3. Install this cab that I'm uploading. It's called vjtoggletoday-removing bottom bar. It removes the bottom bar that has the calendar and contacts links on them. You will still be able to use the soft keys just above the call and end keys to bring them up when ever you want, but you'll gain the extra space on your today screen where the bottom bar used to be.
another option would be to use the nice today plugin SPB Mobile Shell. It makes it possible to safe a lot of space on your today screen. It works very well with any other today plugin (eg Pocket Plus, Phone Alarm, SPB Wheather, etc). Still one of my favorite pocket pc programs!
I am using all of the SPB today plugins. I fixed the problem by having two lines instead of three in BatteryStatus. Appreciate everyones help.

Hi,
I'm wondering, is there an option somewhere to make WM 6 or 6.1 do a "shadow text" effect on text on the home screen? I have a nice home screen image, mostly dark but with a few lighter colored spots. The text on my phone is white so in the light colored spots, it's hard to see. I could set it to black, but then it's hard to see it in the dark areas.
I know Facade has this, but I kind of like the WM6.1 home screen and would rather just use it w/o Facade.
So.. Anyone know a trick? I searched the net and the board but didn't find much (not that it helped having a search term (shadow) that's also the name of a phone!
Thanks,
Tim
I have been playing around with TF3D and it only displays the main screen (the one with the clock) faded and the text "Title". There are no icons on the bottom of the screen.
I was hoping to fix this without a hard reset if someone could suggest something.
Thanks!
Any help will be appreciated! Thanks! I'm on HD2!
is there anyone who might know this!?
im actually referring to the orange color winmo 6.5 screen
Get Advanced Config, you can download the cab in this thread:

Once in the program, scroll down to Splash screen and click on it. Then for the items "MS splash screen on startup" and "Carrier splash screen on startup", delete the text in the text field at the button of the screen and leave it blank.
After that press Done, soft reset, and pray that it worked.
This is how I did it at least, there is probably a better way.
Of course you could just flash a new ROM onto your phone, most cooked ROMS here don't have obnoxious startup animations.
HTC TP2, WM Prof 6.1, TF3D/Sense turned off
My Menu items are really small. if I press any of the soft keys at the bottom of the screen (today -> contacts -> menu ) the items are really small (maybe 6 pt). No idea how I changed them. I did install XNView and FileExplorerExtender last night. Did not notice anything right away and I definately would have noticed pretty quite. Also changed my Today Background.
Anyway ... how can i change the font size on the various WM menus.
