Hi,
I tried to search on this forum but with no success if is there any application/mod that changes the look of the standard windows mobile scroll slider? or better have them disapper?
Thanks.
i am searching for something like that too!
If you're talking about the scroll bar on the side, there is a registry key that tells how wide you want it. You can make it really thin, or wide. There is also FtouchSL that enables finger scrolling in all apps.

I was looking to skin it too but being able to hide it will at least not show that ugly shape. Do you please have more infos on the registry key?
Thanks.
found it, thanks
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE]
cyHScr=13 - Default height of horizontal scrollbar
cxVScr=13 - Default width of vertical scrollbar
You can download Schaps Advanced config. Its a tool that allows you to easily make these changes. Just launch the app-->go to user interface-->vertical scrollbar width. Set it to 0 pixels = no scroll bar. Ditto for the horizontal scroll bar.
Now if only I knew how you guys plan on scrolling through the screen without a scrollbar...lol
i strongly suggest NOT to hide your scroll slider unless you have a backup of your system.
not all apps support touch scrolling and you might get stuck.

i looked and couldnt find an answer
how do you go about removing the side scrollbars such as in contacts and messages?
and there is no time you should need these because of touchflo correct?
? any help
use advanced config.
under user interface, use the scroll bar width and height and change them all to "0 pixels(no scrollbar)"

Maybe this solution should work for my needs...
Anyway.. How can I do that?
look into shell programming access using c++ and win32
msdn and codeguru would be good places to start to look
for code examples and the likes
Do you know any existing app which does what I need?
You could try ftouchSL (unfortunately, it's not free - but then again, not very expensive) - it doesn't really add an icon, but instead has a "active corner feature" - when you hold your stylus/finger in one of the screen corners for a given time period, it can launch a program or perform some system action (rotate screen, hibernate, etc). Active corners can work system-wide, but some aplications can be excluded from them, or even have different active corner actions. Besides, this program adds finger scrolling and ability to use gestures to launch apps and actions (all of these can be system-wide or defined on per-application basis).
Thanks for your answer...
Is there any other possibility?
Maybe you should search for a skin WAD related to have app launching easier.
or use Ultimate Launch..

I need something very simple to use...
Maybe finally I'll just create a shortcut to START MENU'......
Anyone has different ideas?
Hello,
I'm using Raphael for months and still is there one disappointing thing. SmartTouch - the round thing below display which works like navigation cross and (that's worse) wheel used e.g. to zoom in Opera Mobile.
Important question: IS THERE ANY WAY TO DISABLE IT?
I won't it. I prefer to use this round thing only as arrows, not a wheel. Often I fast tap upper and then bottom arrow (to scroll in browser) Raphael thinks I will zoom. I think it will be easier to use Raphael when SmartTouch function will be disabled.
Try to delete all programs in list of Advanced Config. Start AdvCfg,then go to Menu-More settings-SmartTouch.
Nope, that's different thing. This only disable listing with SmartTouch but do not disable native ST function - like zooming in Outlook or in Opera Mobile.
Well,new information for me. I am using smartwheel just for scrolling. I don't use Opera and camera I use once per month,so I didn't noticed it. It can be much better,if touchwheel can work inside of Opera for scrolling...

Hello, and merry christmas...
to answer your question, I advise that you use FdcSoft TaskMgr, go to the "Services" tab, look for the "SmartTouch(SMT0" entry, tap & hold to get the menu, then select --> Stop, Set Manual, and finally Disable.
Voila...
Cheers
How-to looks great, but there is something wrong - no process you described in my device Nor something similar.
Hey all is there some software that will allow me to re-arrange my start menu items in a straight line
Atm the icons go diagonally in sets of 3`s
Im wondering if its possible to re-arrange the set of 3`s to be in a straight line without the diagonal look
Flame me for saying this...but along the same way the Iphone has them in a straight line
Did you just mention iPhone on the Topaz Forum?!?!?
**flicking lighter**
jk... This may work or you could try quick menu which gives you an expandable windows-like start menu in the top right corner.
or if your unable to find a list start menu cab you could find a start menu 4x4 grid cab and reverse engineer it.
Sorry Bruce My Bad.....Ive recovered from the burns now.
anyway that wasnt what i really had in mine so ive put together some shake and save screenies to give and idea.
The first one shows the way the layout of start menu icons are on my TD2 with it being in a diagonal / upsidedown triangle look
The second one shows how i would like the middle icons to be...in a straight line and together if possible
does any1 know if it can be done.Im assuming there has to be a way as GAz TD2 tools allows them all to be in a 4 row pattern but when i us that feature it makes scrolling really laggy
I split open a 4x4 start menu cab and it shows the following manila files that you would have to edit (LUA and Mode9 editing), however they may be different files for different builds.
07c67730_manila
3b8655d7_manila
5558cdef_manila
652ae0f4_manila
6c219600_manila
7c60907d_manila
In any case, it doesn't appear to be an easy fix. Sorry.
Some alternatives,
Take a look at the "Post your topaz screen" thread. I saw a user using an i*Cough* launcher app that was launched from a HW key that may interest you. You can also achieve something similar by using SecondToday combined with Ultimate Launcher. Then you can scoll your apps with the old Cube animation launching from your LSK.
Hope this helps.
I sussed this out today after messing with the registry.
This works for my UK Touch Cover but the device ID may be different for other regions and the Type Cover.
If it doesn't work, I've detailed at the end how to find out your device ID.
Search from the start menu for regedit.exe and run it
Firstly, backup your registry with File -> Export
Next, navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\HID\VEN_MSHW&DEV_0004&SUBSYS_MSAY0001&REV_100295A&Col02\4&365f1178&0&0001\Device Parameters"
On the right pane will be a key called "FlipFlopScroll", right-click it and select edit.
Change the value to 1
If you want to flip the horisontal scroll too, change the value "FlipFlopHScroll" to 1 as well.
Close everything and re-boot
Your touchpad will now scroll in the normal direction
If this doesn't work or if you want to confirm that the key you are editing above is correct for you:
Hit Search from the start menu and select the settings search type
Type "Device Manager" and hit enter
Look for Mice and Other Pointing Devices
Expand the tree and right mouse on "HID-Compliant Mouse"
Select "Properties" and then hit the "Details" tab.
In the drop-down box, select "Hardware IDs"
The first line will look like the middle part of the key above. Mine is: "VEN_MSHW&DEV_0004&SUBSYS_MSAY0001&REV_100295A&Col02" If yours is different, just look for your key in the same place and change the FlipFlopScroll values accordingly. Also, please post if yours is different so we can collect the right keys for all locations and cover types.
Happy scrolling!
Works perfectly on my Surface RT! Thank you so much, been looking for this for a while (ever since I first tried the Surface).
You don't actually have to reboot; just detach the cover and then re-attach it.
Here, have a .REG file to apply the settings with! In fact, have both the default and the flipped mode registry files.
Great stuff! Have you guys seen any other parameters that control scroll speed or acceleration? I'd really love to be able to control the speed of touch screen scrolling, but haven't found anything.
I don't know about touch screen scrolling, but you can easily adjust the trackpad scroll speed. Just open the Mouse control panel (Start -> "mouse" -> Settings, select the option called "Mouse"), go to the Wheel tab (which the trackpad pretends to be), and adjust the option. Since it's a smooth scroll, not discrete jumps, the concept of "lines" or "pages" of scroll don't mean anything, but the numbers still control how fast the scroll goes. I have my Surface set to 5 for the vertical scroll, which is a bit faster than normal.
There's actually an app solely for the Surface called Trackpad Settings that lets you reverse scroll direction too.

O RLY? Hmm... I may have to decompile that and see how they pulled it off. Store apps *shouldn't* have HKLM registry write permission.

Yeah, that's actually scary that Store apps can do this. Hope MS is not dropping the ball on security...again...
It's *probably* either a special driver API (you may have noticed the Printer "driver" apps that can do things like show ink levels) or some system API that can be accessed from within the AppContainer (as opposed to directly editing the registry). Either way, it's intriguing.

I have a US keyboard with the same DeviceID as yours, yet the registry change does not flip my scrolling, in fact it disables it until I go into the Mouse settings and play with the wheel controls; then it reverts to the default f***ed-up Surface trackpad scrolling
App fix.
