hope i have the right forum - you'll tell me otherwise no doubt.
My Today screen has a blue icon called options which, when pressed says
O2 Custom Today Plug-in Settings
checked items appear in Today screen
well they all DID until just recently and I used to be able to display 5 shortcuts.
I removed 1 and added another and the screen response was only 5 shortcuts allowed. Having taken out and added again the problem was further exacerbated by the fact that the shortcut bar is now blank even though short cuts are there. I press an area of the shortcut bar and a programme is launched - but I don't know what it is until it is fully launched.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I have rebooted but no joy
Thanks

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.

Hello peeps, I have the shortcuts option checked in the today screen options, however the line on the today screen remains blank.
Where do the shortcuts need to be for the today menu to acknowledge them?
If its HTC Home you need to add the APPlication by taping the circle with + sign
Does anyone know if it is possible, and if so how, to remove the Date spacer from the top section of the Today Screen (located immediately below the taskbar). This takes up a lot of real-estate and an I don't use it because the date is shown elsewhere.- Thanks for your time
start-settings-today-items tab and disable 'Date'
There you'll find all other items you see on the today screen.
it is disabled there, but the space still remains on the Today screen.
Maybe a screenshot would be helpful.

I have ADW EX 1.3.3.8.
In previous versions, you could 'turn on" navigation dots which sat left and right of the dock. If you has 7 screens, and were on the center one, it would show
... dock ...
If you touched the left dots, it would move left one screen and show
.. dock ....
Touch again
. dock .....
I loved this nav facility and used it constantly, but it is gone in recent versions. Now there are Launcher Actions to "Go Previous" and "Go Next" to move screen left and right. You can put these on the left and right ends of the dock for moving the screens.
(But you no longer get the info of how many screens are to the left and right--they are just fixed icons)
Still, I would like to have dots there and have created a 72 x 72 px icon for it. But I cannot figure out how to use this instead of the standard icons for the two functions. I saw a youtube video which showed longpress on an icon to edit it, but that no longer works in my (current) version.
Can anyone tell me how I can "put in" (ATT Galaxy SIII) the icon I created and for it to be used in place of those two standard ADW ones?
Thanks.
SOLVED.
Guess I was too quick. After lots of fumbling, I found the 'edit icon' is now double tap instead of long press. Was able to get them changed to my dots icon.
Still, if anyone knows the ADW author and can influence him, it would be wonderful to get the old system back because it showed, by changing the number of dots, where you were positioned in the screens. It was an excellent system, and it would be terrific to get it back.
Good To Go, another solved issue.
This has been driving me batty for months. I note [email protected] is a senior XDA member so I'm hopeful I'll find a solution here.
I'm running Android 5.0.1 on an HTC One (M8). I've had Nova Prime launcher as default for a couple years and love it, but I cannot find the magic formula for designating my primary homescreen (the one with my clock app and primary app icons--there are two screens to the left; three to the right of this screen) as default. when I tap home twice and get all homescreens in view, there are white house icons above every screen EXCEPT the one I want as default, which shows a black house icon. When I want to go to the homescreen, any of the six may come up when home is tapped.
What I'm trying to do is set my chosen homescreen as default so it pops up whenever I tap home. Not sure if it could be a factor, but I'm also using the Next lockscreen widget as well.
It used to be pretty simple to designate the default homescreen, but either it's become more complicated (or I've gotten stupider)
Any help out there?
Thanks
Go into the home screen overview, then tap and hold the home icon of the screen you want to be your default. That icon should turn white and become the default screen.
Thanks, Scottjb
This is what I find bizarre--what you've suggested only seems to work in reverse: 5 of my homescreen icons are white houses--if I tap and hold on one of those it turns black, however if I tap and hold the black house on the screen I want to designate, absolutely nothing happens. Confused here!
