Disable scroll-bar on today screen?

Hey guys,
ive been searching for this quite long and im still searching
Is there some kind of reg-hack where i can disable the scroll-bar on my today screen?
G00gle and boardsearch doesnt help me :/

hmmmm...common sense tells me that there isn't.
how would you expect your today screen to look like if you have 6-8 today plug-ins? with no scroll bar?
i hate that scroll bar too.
so to evoide it, i keep only the Date plug-in, SPB Diary (combines messagin+callendar+tasks+contacts+notes in the same space), and SPB Plus (quick launch icons).
sow with those 3 today plugins i evoid scroll bars.
you should resize the scrollbars sizes. i use the size 8 on my M5000.
it looks very smaller but it is still touchable and draggable even with the nail of my finger.
but i don't think there is a way to get rid of the scrollbars.
what method of fitting many today plugins would you suggest? this is the only one.

Nono guys, just thinning the scrollbars is definitely not the answer.
I actually did some searching as well and I found a statement of vijay555 and it worked fine on my device. There is a registry entry that can define whether there should be a scrollbar for a today item or not. You just set "type=5" for these today items and the scrollbar disappears:
1. Backup Registry, then using a good registry editor go to
HKLM > Software > Microsoft > Today > Items
2. Find the Plugin you want to be scrollbar less, eg in my case VJAudioNotes.
3. Glance through the entries and find the one that says "Type". Double click type and change the value to 5
4. Go into Settings > Today and make some minor change to your today screen to force it to refresh (or just soft reset). Hopefully the changes will now be reflected.
This will force the plugin to the top of the screen and force scrollbars to occur under that plugin.
The thread I'm referring to is that one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1172614&postcount=4

Yes nice, this was exacly what i was looking for BUT after a soft reset the reg doesnt save it.... and the order of the items is wrong and cant move em in the settings... "order" reg-setting doesnt change anything :/
mhh will have a look at this.
--Edit--
Seems it does work only for the top 3 items on the list. if a 4th one is set to type = 5 an other one gets automaticly type 4 :/

It does not always work. Do we always have to replace the value by the number "5" only?
For example, if I wanted to keep the owner info up top. The original value is "0". Based on the link you posted, replace it with "5", but instead of still showing the owner info, it completely disappears from the list. I'm just experimenting anyway. As Vijay said, BACKUP 1st.

Same thing with Calendar.

Bye!

If you are talking about orizontal lines between different today plug-in, I'm looking for the same answer.
From what I read, I figured out it isn't possible... and my girlfriend, the picture of her that I use as background, still has a purple linee going trough her eye!!!

It is possible if you use Tweak2K software. Choose system colour Today line and way u go!!
Another method is use ThemeGenCE an application to edit and create Themes on your PC. Just Google for those software.

That doesn't hide them now does it? It only changes the colour.

with ultimate launch you can do this ... just select it as the only plugin and load the other ones within ultimate launch

This sound interesting.
Anyway you can load HTC Home within UltimateLaunch???

Hiding the seperator lines ...
have you tried editing the xml file and setting the border width at "0" (e.g.,
b-border-color="transparent" b-border-width="0") ?

is anyone willing to mention which xml file this referrs to?

Colored Lines
Not certain if PPC's are too different from Smartphones, but in the "Application Data\Home" folder, you'll find the xml files used to drive the GUI interface of the Home/Today screen. These are completely editable - within these files you should find what I referenced above.

search for an app called UI TWEAKER .... it is a little complicated but you can do it and a lot of other cool stuff

here the solution
for me this works (on WM6.5)
completly invisible separator line, completly satisfation

How to change path for Settings in Start Menu

I was messing with the registry and could not figure this out. I got as far as finding where the settings program launcher is....
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
Here we can add programs to the launcher and I beleive if I can add the .exe to WM All Settings page it would be great. I can't find such a file though. This is where I need help unless I'm completely wrong here. This would allow to add an All settings Tab to be added in the Launcher.
Or
If you go to HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\3 Changing things there should work. Would ony changing the path work? I just need to know where the .exe for the Settings page is.
It just frustrates me that I have to go to the Settings tab then All settings.
Thanks for any and all help. I am trying to learn here.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​
Edit: This maybe more difficult than I think. But I did figure out how to unloch the locked items and also to move them so they are at the bottom.
To Unlock go to
- HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
-Select one of the keys numbered 0-23 (a number for each of the slots. The locked items are numbers 0-3 and are ordered on the list going left to right/top to bottom)
- Just change the DWord value from 1 to 0 and you can now remove these if you wish.
- You can do the reverse to lock any other program in place. Click on it an set the value from 0 to 1.
--Now Soft Reset or go to today settings, turn off touchflo 3d and hit ok. Go back and turn TF3D back on. All set.
To Move the items go to
- HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
-The locked items are numered 0-3
-Say if you want to move settings to the bottom left you would select key '3'.
-Rename it from 3 to anything you wish for instance 'n' (or any number starting from 24) make it short because you will change it again.
-Now go to key '23' and rename that to '3'
-Go back to 'n' or whatever you named the old 3 and rename it to '23'
-Now Soft Reset or go to today settings, turn off touchflo 3d and hit ok. Go back and turn TF3D back on. All set.

HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher

There is a way to directly link to specific Settings items, see http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/windows-mobile-faq/12666-applet-shortcuts.html Just save the text string after the "=" as a plain text file with extension ".lnk" and put it in the "/windows/start menu/programs" folder, as I'm sure you know.
I've used some of these and they can save a lot of stylus work. I don't see a way to link to the general Settings page itself though.

You have to get a registry editor. I use PHM but have heargood things for Resco registry editor. Just google search for a cab.
HKLM=HKeyLocalMachine

EASIER WAY to unlock the first 4 shoutcut in start menu.....
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\0
change the "IsReadOnly" dWord value to "0"
restart your TouchFlo3D
Do the same for 1, 2, 3....
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\1
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\2
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\3

Thanks for the tip - works perfectly. Only problem now is assigning an icon other than the ugly white page with Windows square on it. I have tried the trick described here in the Wiki, but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?

Provided you have your shortcut in one of the initial 23 positions of the Program Launcher, you could try setting the icon path from the registry, in the location as described by HTC Touch Freak in the first post

There's also an "IconPath" parameter under the 0-23 keys which you might have more success with.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I already tried that after posting the above. Managed to find out the icon is no 398 in shellres.192.dll, and inserted that into the IconPath line. Now, when I click on the shortcut, I get a message saying
"The file 'ctlpnl cplmain' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found."

I wonder if it's possible to make up your own icon, as you can in desktop windows - a bitmap of the appropriate size with ".ico" extension?

Thanks for the link Fisha21. I made a link for remove programs, put it in the programs list and also saw there was no icon. Well i thought, maybe i can easily approach the link differently.
I downloaded Link Creator 1.4 - Shortcut Creator (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=494613) and just assigned the link to the right softkey.
For those who don't like that, there are many different options that it can be linked to (keymappings etc.)
Hope that helps a few peeps

WM6.5 full screen popup menu

Is there any way to change the full screen popup menu in 6.5 to the normal type of pop up menu?
Preferably to the larger type of popup menu (the finger friendly type) instead of the old 6.1/5.0 popup menu
Many thanks

Theres a number of things you can do to get it like that... you can install fingermenu.. or you can use Advanced Config to increase menu text size to LARGE which will make it similar to that.

Thanks Aegishua that is what I have and I dont want the full screen menu.
I just want the normal pop up menu, I have 'borrowed' this picture from elsewhere but I just want this type of menu...

No idea's anybody?

The one you have is...
Rhodium menu enhacement... so i think that feature is cooked inside... you must to find another rom without this feature cooked inside... or maybe there is a reg hack to disable the feature but i dont know where maybe you can search in HKLM/software/htc/
good luck

I would try another rom...

Thanks + QUE
I knew it would be a registry edit somewhere and after spending ages looking I coundent find anything but you hit the nail on the head "Rhodium menu enhacement"
A quick Google for the above pointed me to some cab files on XDA-Developers nd after deleting the entries hey presto I did look here but I did not know what the real name of the new style menu was so for anyone else intrested follow this...
Delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCMENUS
Delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCSCROLL
Delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\RESPROXY
Then navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\MASD and delete the two items HTCSCROLL and MENUENHANCEMENT
Then navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PKG and delete the item SHADOW
Then vavigate to HKLM\SYSTEM\GWE\MENU and delete the item CUIHANDLER
Thats it, enhanced menus but not full screen.

[Q] TP2 WM6.5 Today Screen Help

I have a Sprint TP2 with the SPrint WM6.5 ROM.
I am using the "Windows Default" Today Screen Items because HTC Sense is so slow and makes my phone screw up all the time now.
I like it, but I would like to modify which items are on the list. How can I do that?
I can change the items on the list, but once u select the Windows Default, you cannot select anything else. I like the default, but just want to add/remove some stuff.
Thanks in Advance!

Any ideas?

there should be a setting for start menu that allows you to change which programs appear in the pull down menu. i've been using the sense menus lately so i forget how to go back to tell you exactly where to find it but i know its somewhere. if i stumble upon it i'll let you know.

In stock rom there isnt that many options to check/choose from cuz its WM 6.5
To check what is available go to Settings -> Today -> items (tab)
(could be different in Sprint version)
Hope this helps
EDIT:
I hope we were on same page.. or not.. if you want to edit quick links then all you have to do is access pull down menu and on bottom right corner select delete then select all apps to remove them.. after you hit done then plus + sign should show up.. click on it and select app that you want in that place

If I go to the settings for Today, I can choose multiple items, but it looks bad. If I choose Windows Default on the menu, I cannot choose any other items. So I am looking for a way to customize whats in that Windows Default setting. I thought it would be a registry entry or something, but cannot find it.

as far as i know you wont be able to add any stuff same way as you were able to do it in WM 6.0.. Do some research on Spb shell. you may like that or check out Iphone Today Theme on xda-devs.

I have been looking but haven't found anything yet.
I just want to add some items that fit into the Windows Default Today screen item. They already have those slider buttons and I would like to add some new ones.

Try "Home Screen Customizer". I use it to add a contacts panel and a weather panel, but it can do more. You can install it through Windows Marketplace too. Oh, did I mention it's free ? Here's a direct link to the application site: http://homescreencustomizer.spaces.live.com or the link from Marketplace. Hope this is what you're looking for. Thanks.

Doesn't Show Missing Calls?
Hello,
I JUST upgraded to MR2 from verizon on my touch pro 2. My main concern is that it does not show the missed calls on the home screen anymore. I have to go to notifications to click on missed calls to see them.
When i was looking around i saw this thread:
ww.wmexperts.com/tags/touch-pro-2
(sorry i had to take the w out of www to be able to get the link above to post)
and it shows a picture of my phone, with the MR2 upgrade WITH the missed calls showing!
What am i doing wrong? How do i get my missed calls to show back up on the screen.
as a side note, it also shows calendar items, my phone also does not show calendar items. It seems to me that my first row of quick links is up too high (that is where the missing calls and calendar show up on the picture for MR2)

Hi, I just bought a stock Sprint Touch Pro 2 and I really want to find the option that I can disable the HTC sense.
I have tried to find the settings tab but actually my 'settings' is not the one I want. Following is the list of all options in this settings:
Personalize (wallpaper, etc)
Wireless Controls (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, mobile networks, push mail)
Sound & Display
Data Services (options for ActiveSync, social networks, e-mail, etc)
Location (set location service options)
Security (encryption, phone lock and reset)
Application (remove programs, etc)
SD card & phone storage (view available storage)
Date & Time
Locale & text
Updates & feedback
Other (miscellaneous settings - none appear to be relevant)
About phone (battery status, device info)
So by which I can disable the HTC sense?
Thanks first.

@ zhangaa
Since you are using Win 6.5 and HTC sense is still on you will have to go by this path -
Go to setting > bottom right there is "Menu" written click that > will give you an option of " All Settings " select that > then find the icon name " Today " select that > it will take you to a screen where u will have two tabs on the bottom left - " Appearance" & "Items" here select " Items " > You will have a list of itmes the third one will be will be checked -"HTC Sense" - uncheck it > then click OK on the top right.
You will now have HTC sense disabled. If you want to re-enable just check it again and click OK !
Hope this helps!

Thank you very much for your reply, abhisahara
I have got it
Thanks again!
